Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Reze
Moscow Public Safety was also housed inside a large building.
Massive, austere, and symmetrical, it was a classic example of Soviet-style architecture.
Because the flight had taken a little over ten hours, and Moscow was six hours behind Tokyo, it was right around quitting time according to Moscow time. So Kotone Asaba only reported in at the Moscow Public Safety building, received his Moscow Public Safety uniform, then went out for dinner.
The man who had driven him earlier was actually Volkov, the captain of Team 1. He was tall and powerfully built, and always wore a pair of sunglasses.
Kotone Asaba went to dinner with Volkov, which counted as the captain looking after a newcomer who had just arrived.
"For the next few days, focus on getting familiar with the environment here. We haven’t assigned you a partner yet, but I’ll make arrangements depending on the situation," Volkov said during dinner. "Though tomorrow, a Devil Hunter is supposed to be transferred in from somewhere else. If she’s suitable, I’ll have her become your partner."
"Understood. Thank you, Captain Volkov."
Kotone Asaba nodded.
"You may be an excellent Devil Hunter back in Tokyo, but I still want to remind you that a change in environment and teammates makes a huge difference in the end. We won’t have you dealing with dangerous Devils right away, but it’s best if you adapt to the changes here as quickly as possible."
Anyone able to participate in an international exchange program would never be a weak Devil Hunter. But seeing how young the boy still was, Volkov gave that reminder out of concern.
"I understand."
Kotone Asaba answered humbly.
After dinner, Volkov took Kotone Asaba to the residence Moscow Public Safety had arranged for him.
He had to admit, the Soviet Union, the strongest nation in the world of Chainsaw Man, really was loaded. The setup of his lodging was far better than what Tokyo Public Safety provided.
In the world of Chainsaw Man, it was probably because Devils like the World War II Devil had been eaten by Pochita long ago. At this point, the Soviet Union’s national strength had already surpassed the United States, and it possessed much more of the Gun Devil’s body than the United States did.
That night, Kotone Asaba kept thinking about how he could meet Reze, but it really was not easy to pull off.
Even if he used the chainsaw on Pochita’s head to hunt Devils more often, the Soviet military would sooner or later realize Pochita was connected to the Chainsaw Devil. Even then, the Soviet military might not necessarily send Reze.
After all, the Soviet military had more than one "guinea pig" soldier.
He could only take things slowly.
The next day, after changing into his uniform, Kotone Asaba went to work at Moscow Public Safety as usual.
As soon as Kotone Asaba entered the Public Safety building, he ran into Captain Volkov.
"Patrol hasn’t started yet. I’ll take you to get acquainted with the other team members first."
Volkov spoke.
Kotone Asaba nodded and followed Volkov to the place where the team members usually rested.
"This is the leisure area for our Public Safety Devil Hunters. After work or on days off, you can come here anytime to relax."
Volkov introduced the place to Kotone Asaba.
The entire leisure area was divided into multiple sections, such as a fitness area, a food area, a gaming area...
"So this is the Devil Hunter from Japan? He looks really young."
"Devil Hunters that young usually don’t have much experience, right? Did he sign a contract with a stronger Devil or something?"
"Either way, he probably isn’t weak. Tokyo Public Safety likely wants him to train here with us."
As soon as Volkov brought Kotone Asaba inside, the Devil Hunters saw this unfamiliar face with East Asian features and immediately knew he was the Devil Hunter from Japan.
Kotone Asaba could not tell which of them belonged to Team 1, so he went around greeting every Devil Hunter present just to be polite.
Their attitudes were fairly warm. No one showed any sign of discrimination toward him, at least not on the surface.
Afterward, Kotone Asaba and Volkov sat down in the food area.
"You don’t need to go on today’s patrol. The Devil Hunter transferred from somewhere else should be arriving soon. Wait for her here."
Volkov said, "You two can get to know each other first. If there aren’t any problems, the newcomer will become your partner."
"Got it."
Kotone Asaba did not particularly care who the Devil Hunter transferred from somewhere else might be.
Then Volkov left to handle his own work.
The other Devil Hunters also went out on their routine patrols.
Kotone Asaba was left waiting there alone. He was not in any hurry, and took the opportunity to taste the desserts and drinks there.
A little over ten minutes later, someone suddenly entered the leisure area.
Kotone Asaba had not paid attention to that person at first, but from the sound of the footsteps, he realized they were walking toward him.
Only then did he raise his head and look over, and the moment he did, he froze.
The one walking toward him was a beautiful girl with violet hair and green eyes. A faint blush colored her delicate face, and her choker had an ornament resembling a grenade pin.
She wore the Moscow Public Safety uniform, along with white sneakers.

Kotone Asaba had never expected to run into Reze here, and he could not help feeling excited.
Just last night, he had still been thinking it would be difficult to make contact with Reze. As a result, Reze had taken the initiative to show up today.
Only now did Kotone Asaba realize that the Devil Hunter transferred from somewhere else whom Captain Volkov had mentioned was actually Reze.
While he was still stunned, Reze had already walked up in front of him.
She sat down across from him, propped her chin on both hands, and said, "Your eyes are so pretty."
Her voice sounded gentle, with a slightly seductive edge.
The excitement in Kotone Asaba’s heart quickly calmed down.
"Thank you for the compliment. You’re very beautiful too."
Reze immediately revealed a happy smile, and the blush on her face became even more obvious.
"You must be the Devil Hunter from Japan, right? My name is Reze. I was just transferred here from another Public Safety branch."
"I just arrived in Moscow and haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Could you share some of these with me?"
Reze pointed at the desserts and drinks on the table.
