Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Reze, the Perfect Partner

"Of course. There’s only one drink, though. What do you want? I’ll go ask the server for another glass."

Everything in the leisure area was free, one of the benefits provided by Moscow Public Safety.

The food area did not only have desserts and drinks, either. It even provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Although he did not know the quality of the full meals yet, judging by the desserts and drinks, the meals definitely would not be bad.

"Mm... I’ll have the same as you."

Reze said.

Kotone Asaba was drinking orange juice, so he went to ask the server for another glass of orange juice and ordered a few more desserts as well.

At the same time, he was thinking about a few things. There was no way Reze showing up here at a time like this was a coincidence.

As an agent of the Soviet military, Reze was definitely not someone the Soviet military would deploy casually.

Most likely, after he had been widely publicized by the media back in Japan, he and Pochita had drawn the attention of the Soviet military.

They might have their eyes on him, or they might have realized that Pochita was the Chainsaw Devil’s "heart."

The latter was very possible, but he could not be completely sure.

Kotone Asaba felt that the Soviet military had sent Reze to make him completely infatuated with her. As for their deeper purpose, that was still unclear for now.

Whether her identity had been fabricated was also unclear. Although her real identity was an agent of the Soviet military, it was possible that she was also a Devil Hunter at the same time.

Just like Quanxi, who was not only the first Devil Hunter, but also the trump card of the Chinese military.

Either way, being able to get close to Reze was a good thing for Kotone Asaba. His main purpose in coming to the Soviet Union had been Reze in the first place.

By the time he thought this far, Kotone Asaba had already returned to his seat with the desserts and orange juice.

"Thank you."

Reze took the orange juice and had a sip. "I remember your name is Kotone Asaba, right?"

"That’s right."

Kotone Asaba answered.

"Aren’t you only sixteen? Instead of going to school, you’re working as a Devil Hunter? You’re such a weirdo, you know, a weirdo."

Reze said.

"You don’t look that much older than me, do you? Aren’t you a weirdo too?"

Kotone Asaba shot back.

Of course, he knew Reze’s actual age was unknown. Weapon Humans could not be judged by appearance.

From the moment they became Weapon Humans, their facial features, bodies, and everything else became fixed. They would never grow old, and they would never truly die.

Reze fell silent, smiling as she looked at Kotone Asaba. After a while, she finally spoke. "Then if we’re both weirdos, doesn’t that mean we’re the perfect partners?"

"Yes, I also hope I can become partners with Miss Reze."

Kotone Asaba smiled faintly and reached his hand out toward Reze.

Reze also reached out and shook his hand.

After that, Kotone Asaba and Reze went to apply to the higher-ups. Once the request was approved, the two of them officially became partners.

Kotone Asaba deliberately observed the superior’s reaction and found that he did not seem to know Reze’s true identity.

After all, Reze was an agent of the Soviet military. Other than the higher-ups of the Soviet military, probably no one knew her real identity. Oh, right, and him.

Although an American reporter had once exposed the existence of that "room," the secret room where children without parents were taken and used for Weapon Human experiments, the Soviet Union had quickly sealed off the news.

"Koto, what are you thinking about?"

Reze’s voice suddenly rang beside his ear, pulling Kotone Asaba out of his thoughts.

"Koto?"

That "Koto" made Kotone Asaba fail to react for a moment.

"What’s wrong? You don’t like that nickname?"

"No, I’m just a little surprised."

If Kotone Asaba had not known Reze was acting, and if the Codex did not still show her Affinity at zero percent, Reze acting like this just now would have made it very easy for someone to get the wrong idea.

But even so, despite knowing she was acting, hearing Reze call him "Koto" still made him a little happy.

Next, Kotone Asaba and Reze prepared to patrol the southern industrial district of Zelenograd Administrative District. That was the patrol area Moscow Public Safety had assigned to them.

Moscow had ten administrative districts in total, and each administrative district was further divided into various areas.

The northwest industrial district, northeast industrial district, and southern industrial district were the three areas under Zelenograd Administrative District.

Every area in each administrative district had Moscow Public Safety Devil Hunters in charge of patrols. Of course, there were private Devil Hunters as well.

The rules around the world were all more or less the same. For Devils already being hunted by private Devil Hunters, Public Safety could not interfere too much unless the private hunters were no match for them.

Zelenograd Administrative District was also called Zelenograd Administrative Okrug.

The entire city’s layout was strict and simple, and it had abundant forestland. Almost half the city was covered in forest. That was likely where the name "Zelenograd" came from, a fitting "green city."

After arriving at the southern industrial district of Zelenograd, Kotone Asaba and Reze began their patrol.

Just then, Kotone Asaba transferred Pochita out of the Kamui dimension, deliberately wanting to test Reze’s reaction.

Seeing Pochita suddenly appear in Kotone Asaba’s arms, Reze immediately showed surprise. "What a cute little dog! But it doesn’t look like an ordinary dog. Is it a Devil?"

"Yeah. He’s a Devil, and also my partner. His name is Pochita."

Kotone Asaba introduced Pochita to Reze in a very natural manner.

"So he really is a Devil. But becoming friends with a Devil, Koto really is a weirdo."

"Same to you."

Kotone Asaba replied, imitating Reze’s tone.

If they were talking about weirdos, was Reze, who had fused with the Bomb Devil’s heart and become a Weapon Human, not even more of a weirdo?

Of course, he definitely would not say that out loud. Not only because he could not expose the fact that he knew everything, but also because he did not want to hurt Reze.

After all, Reze was one of the children without parents who had been captured by the Soviet military and taken away for secret experiments. She had been forced to become a Weapon Human and had completely lost her freedom.

"By the way, how did you make Pochita appear just now? Was that your Devil power?"

Reze asked curiously.

"...That’s right."

Although Reze was asking despite already knowing, Kotone Asaba still answered.

At present, the abilities he had shown before were probably already known by the Soviet military through their investigative capabilities. As a military agent, Reze could not possibly be unaware of them.

"Koto, can I pet Pochita?"

Suddenly, Reze made that request.

"Of course."

Kotone Asaba kept Pochita in his arms and gestured for Reze to pet him herself.

At the same time, he remained mentally on guard. The moment Reze made any suspicious move, he would react at top speed.

However, what happened next was that Reze really only gently stroked Pochita’s head for a while, and Pochita looked very comfortable too.

Aside from that, Reze did not do anything else.

Pochita should have known there was the Bomb Devil’s heart inside Reze. A Devil’s nose was very sharp, and Pochita had never reincarnated and lost his memories, so he definitely still remembered the scent of the Bomb Devil he had eaten back in Hell.

But Pochita clearly did not care about that.

"So cute."

After stroking Pochita’s head a few times, Reze withdrew her hand.

Kotone Asaba had failed to use Pochita to test out any reaction from Reze. She only looked like an ordinary girl who liked small animals.

As for Reze’s behavior, Kotone Asaba could not tell which parts were acting and which parts were real.

In the original story, Reze’s true side was barely shown at all. The only thing that was real was that she had never gone to school, and she had not even been able to say that...

That was exactly why Kotone Asaba wanted to get close to Reze and search for the real side of her.

They did not discover any Devils during today’s patrol. As soon as quitting time arrived, Kotone Asaba and Reze returned to Moscow Public Safety.

When they returned to Public Safety, they ran into Captain Volkov.

"Looks like you two have already become partners. That saves me from having to rearrange the team’s partnerships. How did it feel working together for the first time today?"

Volkov did not actually know Reze. But seeing Reze wearing a Moscow Public Safety uniform and walking together with Kotone Asaba, he could infer that Reze was the Devil Hunter transferred in from another Public Safety branch, and that she had become Kotone Asaba’s partner.

"I’d say we got along all right."

As soon as Kotone Asaba finished speaking, Reze immediately followed up.

"We’re the perfect partners. Right, Koto?"

Kotone Asaba could not help feeling a little embarrassed hearing that.

Koto?

Hearing that nickname, then seeing the shy blush and smile on Reze’s face, Volkov seemed to understand something.

"You really work fast, kid!"

Volkov patted Kotone Asaba on the shoulder, then reminded him, "Still, although Public Safety doesn’t restrict this sort of thing, you can’t let it make you careless at work."

The girl transferred in from somewhere else was a rare beauty. Kotone Asaba had only been here for a day, yet their relationship was already this ambiguous.

"Yeah, I won’t be careless at work."

Although the relationship between Kotone Asaba and Reze was completely different from what Captain Volkov was imagining, Reze was deliberately acting this way, so Kotone Asaba simply went along with it.

Afterward, Kotone Asaba rested and entertained himself in the leisure area.

At this time, the other Devil Hunters of Moscow Public Safety had also gotten off work. Most of them liked to eat dinner here and relax for a while instead of going home early.

For example, in the food area, quite a few Devil Hunters were sitting there drinking vodka like it was water while chatting.

"Newbie! You’re the newbie from Japan, right? Want a glass of vodka?"

At that moment, a man who was already drunkenly tipsy invited Kotone Asaba as he passed by.

Kotone Asaba did not refuse. He reached out, took the glass of vodka the man handed him, and drank it all in one go.

Then he placed the cup upside down on the table to show he did not want to continue drinking, gave them a thumbs-up, and walked away.

He did not know much about Soviet culture, but when it came to drinking, it should be similar to the Russians from his previous life. Although they loved alcohol, they generally did not pressure people into drinking. One glass was enough to be polite.

A single glass of vodka was not enough to get him drunk, at most, he felt it a little.

As for placing the cup upside down, in some places, it seemed disrespectful, but here it was very normal.

Watching Kotone Asaba go to another seat, someone suddenly asked, "By the way, who’s that woman next to the newbie? Since when did we have such a gorgeous beauty in Moscow Public Safety? I don’t remember her at all."

"I’ve never seen that woman before either, but I heard a Devil Hunter from another Public Safety branch arrived today. Could it be her?"

"Probably. That kid sure is lucky. They specially transferred in a beauty to be his partner. I’m jealous!"

"You already have a wife. What the hell are you jealous for? Careful, if your wife finds out, she’ll kill you."

"..."

At this moment, Kotone Asaba was planning to eat dinner here. He had already placed his order with the server.

A while later, three dinners were served.

Although people on the Soviet side basically did not eat rice, usually using bread, pancakes, and similar foods as their staples, Moscow Public Safety had specially taken care of him, a foreigner from Japan.

Because of that, he could order rice, and the dishes were also closer to Japanese-style cooking.

Pochita ate the same thing as him, while Reze had a normal Soviet-style meal.

[Pochita Affinity +5%]

[Pochita’s Affinity progress has reached 70%. Achievement reward received: Constitution +1]

Pochita’s Affinity had finally risen to seventy percent. However, it was still quite far from one hundred percent. Kotone Asaba was still very much looking forward to obtaining Pochita’s ability, especially since he would even be able to transform into the appearance of "Chainsaw Man."

However, he did not know whether he would have the traits of a Weapon Human, or whether it would simply be transforming and possessing the same abilities as Pochita.

Just as Kotone Asaba was thinking about that, Reze suddenly spoke.

"Koto, can I taste your sausage?"

"...Do whatever you want."

Kotone Asaba was a little speechless. Reze’s words sounded strange. He did not know whether it was unintentional or deliberate.

Reze immediately used the fork in her hand to take a sausage from Kotone Asaba’s bowl, then tasted it.

"This is my first time. It’s actually pretty good."

Reze smiled and said, "In exchange..."

"...You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

Kotone Asaba was immediately stunned. If she said it was not intentional, he definitely would not believe her.

As expected of a dirty-minded woman.

At present, the only real side of Reze he had discovered was probably that she was dirty-minded.

However, Reze’s dinner really did have one.

"What do you mean, on purpose? Aren’t you the one whose mind went somewhere weird?"

Reze teased him.

Kotone Asaba immediately became dissatisfied. "You’re the dirty-minded one, and now you’re trying to pin it on me?"

"Ahahahaha!"

Whether she had been amused by Kotone Asaba’s overly serious reaction or it was a fake laugh she was acting out, Reze suddenly started laughing.

Then Reze speared an abalone with her fork and held it out toward Kotone Asaba.

"Then, do you want to eat abalone fed to you by a dirty-minded woman?"

"I do."

Kotone Asaba answered almost without hesitation and opened his mouth to eat it.

His mouth was honest, and his body was honest too.

To outsiders, this scene looked exactly like a young couple.

Only Kotone Asaba knew in his heart that Reze’s Affinity was still zero percent. From the beginning until now, it had barely risen at all.

However, he was not in any hurry to raise her Affinity. In his heart, he figured he could just slowly spend time with Reze. After all, playing along with Reze’s act was pretty interesting too.
