Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Gun Hybrid

Pingtsi tried to force her complexion back to normal, then took a few deep breaths before putting on her clothes and leaving the room.

She also deliberately tucked her ponytail into her hat so it could not come out.

Even so, a faint blush still lingered on her face and would not fade.

Sitting at the dining table, Pingtsi silently finished breakfast without saying a word. From beginning to end, she never once met Kotone Asaba’s eyes. In reality, she was too embarrassed to look at him.

Kotone Asaba could not figure out why Pingtsi was acting so strangely today, but he was too lazy to worry about it. He said to Pingtsi and Long, "Once you’re done with breakfast, you can pretty much head to the airport."

"Mm..."

Pingtsi answered. Her reaction was fairly normal, but she still did not look at Kotone Asaba.

Long also nodded.

After breakfast, Kotone Asaba took Pingtsi and Long to the airport.

Aki Hayakawa and Himeno were probably still sleeping like the dead, so he did not bother Himeno.

Himeno had already entrusted the gifts she wanted to give Pingtsi and Long to Kotone Asaba yesterday, and now he handed them over to Pingtsi and Long.

"These are from Himeno. Take your time enjoying them after you get back to China."

Kotone Asaba said.

They had already arrived at the airport by then, and Pingtsi seemed to have gone somewhat back to normal. She was not as strange as she had been early in the morning.

"Oh! She really did prepare gifts for us."

Pingtsi was a little surprised.

"Then you two can wait to board. I’ll head back first."

They would be boarding soon, so it was time for Kotone Asaba to leave.

"..."

Pingtsi hesitated for a while, but she still said to Kotone Asaba, "When you have time, remember to come to China and hang out with us."

"Come... hang out..."

Long also said unclearly.

"I’ll remember."

Kotone Asaba smiled and waved to say goodbye, then turned and left.

Once he reached a place with few people around, he entered the Kamui dimension and prepared to transfer himself home.

He also brought Little Gun and Pochita out with him.

After all, Little Gun and Pochita had been in the Kamui dimension for quite a long time. It was about time for them to come out and get some air.

But the instant Little Gun returned to the real world, its whole body suddenly began swelling rapidly. Its expression twisted fiercely, and its pupils changed.

Little Gun seemed to realize something and immediately rushed toward Kotone Asaba’s arms.

But it was not trying to hug him. Instead, it directly burrowed into the place where Kotone Asaba’s heart was.

"Woof!"

Pochita thought Little Gun was trying to hurt Kotone Asaba and barked to warn him.

But the next moment, once it realized Little Gun was aiming for his heart, Pochita immediately understood Little Gun’s intention.

"You..."

Although everything had happened extremely suddenly, Kotone Asaba reacted in time with his Mangekyo Sharingan and understood what was happening to Little Gun.

He did not choose to dodge or use phasing. Instead, he let Little Gun burrow into his heart.

In an extremely short amount of time, his heart was replaced by Little Gun.

In other words, Kotone Asaba had now become the Gun Hybrid.

Although Little Gun had become his heart, it could still communicate with him directly through the mind and told him what had happened.

From Little Gun, he learned that Germany had most likely set up a "self-destruct program" in Little Gun without its knowledge. In more detail, they had used some kind of devil power to restrict Little Gun.

Clearly, because such an important "weapon" as the Gun Devil had gone missing, Germany had directly activated the "self-destruct program." He was not sure exactly when it had been activated, but it was definitely after Santa Claus failed to find the Gun Devil heart.

Little Gun had been fine before because it had stayed inside the Kamui dimension the whole time. The "self-destruct program" buried inside Little Gun’s body had been cut off by the alternate space, which was completely isolated from reality. But the moment it came out into the real world, the "self-destruct program" immediately took effect.

If Little Gun had not become Kotone Asaba’s heart in time just now, it would have died because of the "self-destruct program."

At this moment, Kotone Asaba could not help sighing. Although he had once wanted to become a Hybrid, he had never imagined it would happen under these circumstances. Right now, he could not feel happy about it at all.

Little Gun had been perfectly fine, then suddenly turned into his heart. The codex reward was secondary, and the most important new codex page had already been unlocked too. The main issue was that he had already developed some attachment to Little Gun.

"If you can find other versions of me, after I meet them, they’ll also gain my memories. They are me, and I am them. When that time comes, you can absorb them too. That way, your strength will become even greater."

Little Gun conveyed that message to Kotone Asaba through their mental communication.

"I see..."

That was good news for Kotone Asaba.

However, he did not want to absorb every single Gun Devil heart. He would leave at least one behind.

The reason he had not let Pochita become his heart was mainly because becoming a heart ultimately meant losing freedom.

"Speaking of which, do you have any dreams, Little Gun?"

Kotone Asaba suddenly remembered that and asked.

"A dream? I don’t think so... I don’t even have my memories from before. If I had to say one, maybe it would be wanting to enjoy freedom and have fun..."

That rather forced dream was probably born from Little Gun being restrained and controlled by the German military for so long.

"Okay. I understand."

Kotone Asaba would not only take Little Gun around to have more fun and see more things, he would also bring the other Little Guns out.

Now that he had accidentally become the Gun Hybrid, Kotone Asaba did not feel there was anything bad about it. On the contrary, this unexpected accident had given him even more ideas.

He had already figured out how he should make an enemy of the world.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang, interrupting Kotone Asaba’s thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Are you free now? My injuries have completely recovered."

"I’m free. I’ll go over to your side now. Wait for me at the Private Devil Hunter Guild."

"Okay! Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Asaba!"

After Kotone Asaba hung up, he first went to Kobeni and Reze’s side.

Kobeni seemed to be at school. Only Reze was at home, flipping through a fashion magazine.

"Koto? You’re finally back."

After noticing that Kotone Asaba had returned, Reze immediately tossed aside the fashion magazine she had been reading intently.

"I’ve finished dealing with my business. Akane Sawatari just called me. Do you still want to come with me?"

Kotone Asaba said.

"Of course I’m going with you. And there are some things I want to ask you too~"

Reze went to get a piece of paper and a pen. "Wait a second. I’ll leave a note on the table first."

Clearly, this was to avoid making Kobeni worry.

After writing the note, Reze set out with Kotone Asaba.

"Didn’t you say before that you were going to handle something related to the Gun Devil? How did that go?"

That was what Reze wanted to ask about.

"Where should I start... Right now, I’m already the Gun Hybrid."

Kotone Asaba placed his hand over his heart. He could feel Little Gun, now acting as his heart, slowly beating.

"What?"

Reze’s eyes immediately filled with shock. "You fused with the Gun Devil’s heart?"

Reze rarely reacted so out of character.

Because this was completely outside her expectations.

She was very surprised and wondered what Koto had experienced in just the few days he had been gone.

"That’s right..."

Kotone Asaba briefly explained the cause and effect to Reze.

"So that’s what happened... But this is good too. You can solve the Gun Devil problem from the root. Whether it’s the main body or the flesh pieces, you should probably be able to absorb them."

Reze’s mind worked very quickly.

[Reze Affinity +5%]

[Reze’s Affinity progress has reached 60%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

"Yes."

What Reze said was exactly what Kotone Asaba wanted to do. He wanted to retrieve the Gun Devil’s main body and flesh pieces scattered all over the world, solving the problem from the root.

He had also already thought of a plan. As long as he had enough Constitution, he could immediately carry it out.

With his current Constitution, he could not say it was absolutely safe. It would be best to gain a bit more Constitution first.

They arrived at the Kyoto Private Devil Hunter Guild.

Not long after Kotone Asaba and Reze arrived, Akane Sawatari also rushed over.

Even though he had spent a while talking things over with Reze before teleporting over, Akane Sawatari had arrived quickly enough. Her attitude was quite good.

"Sorry, I’m late."

Akane Sawatari said, panting.

"You’re already very fast. Today, we won’t wait for jobs in the lobby. I’ll take you directly to experience daily patrol work. There’s also a chance we’ll run into devils along the way."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Okay."

Akane Sawatari did not seem to intend to sit down. She looked like she wanted to set off immediately.

"...You should rest for a while first. We’ll leave later."

Kotone Asaba said to Akane Sawatari.

Akane Sawatari did not say anything and obediently sat down to rest.

A while later, after Akane Sawatari drank some water and was no longer panting as much, Kotone Asaba finally got up and prepared to leave.

Their patrol area was within Kyoto.

Kotone Asaba and Reze took Akane Sawatari on patrol on foot.

"If you become a Public Safety Devil Hunter in the future, you can’t hunt every devil you come across while patrolling. If it’s a devil that private Devil Hunters are already responsible for, it’s best not to interfere. At most, step in only when they can’t handle it."

Kotone Asaba briefly explained some things Akane Sawatari needed to pay attention to.

Akane Sawatari listened very seriously.

In truth, over the past few days, she had already thought it through and decided that she wanted to become a Public Safety Devil Hunter in the future.

Because she felt Public Safety Devil Hunters had a more stable and higher income, along with various benefits.

Another reason was that she admired Kotone Asaba and Reze, and wanted to enter Public Safety just like them.

Just then, Kotone Asaba saw a devil appear in the distance. "A devil showed up in that direction. Let’s hurry over."

He placed his hands on Reze and Akane Sawatari’s shoulders, then directly teleported over.

There happened to be other private Devil Hunters nearby, and they nearly got there first.

Having learned from her last experience, Akane Sawatari had much more experience this time.

The instant Kotone Asaba’s hand landed on her shoulder, she had already mentally prepared herself.

The moment they appeared in front of that devil, she immediately used the Snake Devil’s ability.

One-hit kill.

The Snake Devil directly swallowed the devil.

It only took one use of devil power to deal with it, so the price Akane Sawatari paid was not much. A small part of the fingernails on her left hand was eaten by the Snake Devil, and with the support of the Grass Devil, she would recover quickly.

"Not bad. This time was much better."

Kotone Asaba nodded in satisfaction. "Your Snake Devil ability is too strong. I feel like training in the private sector won’t do much for you anymore. Next, I’ll take you directly to Kyoto Public Safety so you can experience the life of a Public Safety Devil Hunter."

The Snake Devil’s strength was too high. If Akane Sawatari stayed in the private sector, she would usually only encounter devils with very ordinary strength, all of which she could easily one-shot.

Her original and most serious problem, lack of experience, had also improved rapidly compared to last time. He felt there was not much left for her to train by remaining in the private sector.

In truth, he was not one hundred percent confident that he could get Akane Sawatari into Kyoto Public Safety for a trial experience, but if that did not work, he could also take Akane Sawatari to Tokyo Public Safety.

"Okay. I’ve already thought it through too. In the future, I want to join Kyoto Public Safety."

Akane Sawatari said.

Kotone Asaba immediately called Yuki Kirisu.

"Miss Kirisu, I’d like to let the apprentice I took on here at the Kyoto Private Devil Hunter Guild experience Kyoto Public Safety for a bit. Could you help me ask whether Kyoto Public Safety will allow it?"

"Again? I’m starting to feel like helping you for free every time is a bit of a loss. After you come back, remember to give me another massage."

"No problem."

Kotone Asaba casually agreed.

A while later, Yuki Kirisu called again.

"All right, I’ve already handled it for you. You can take your apprentice over whenever you want."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Kotone Asaba said to Akane Sawatari, "Tomorrow, then. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Kyoto Public Safety to experience it. Today, you can take the chance to recover from your injuries."

"Mm-hm. Thank you so much for helping me train!"

After that, Akane Sawatari went back.

[Akane Sawatari Affinity +5%]

Kotone Asaba then took Reze into the Kamui dimension.

"I’m going to transform into the Gun Hybrid once and test it."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Sure. I really want to see what it looks like too."

Reze’s tone was full of anticipation.

No country would ever be willing to use the Gun Devil’s heart for Hybrid experiments, so Kotone Asaba was the only Gun Hybrid.

Every Hybrid had a unique transformation method. For example, Reze pulled the pin on her neck, Quanxi pulled the arrow from her right eye, and Kotone Asaba’s transformation method was...

He raised his right hand in a finger gun gesture and casually fired an invisible shot in a certain direction.

Kotone Asaba’s head immediately changed, becoming almost no different from the Gun Devil’s head. It was completely devil-like.

A rifle appeared on each of his hands, while the rest of his body remained in a normal human form.

The handgun on his head and the rifles on his hands could all fire bullets. The bullets consumed blood. As long as he had enough blood, he had unlimited bullets. On the other hand, if he became anemic, he would not be able to shoot.

However, his current strength was not even one percent of the complete Gun Devil’s power, at least if only judging by his strength as a Hybrid.

After all, Hybrids were already weaker than the devils themselves, and the portion of the Gun Devil he possessed was so small. After he continued absorbing other Gun Devil hearts and flesh pieces in the future, he would gradually become stronger.
