Chainsaw Man, the Fire Demon of the Contract Holy Lord

"Um...Sorry. Did we come at the wrong time?"

The boy stood in front of the door and stopped embarrassed.

Hayakawa Qiu raised his head and looked at them with a frown.

"You are……?"

"Oh, I am Yutaro Kurose, and this is my partner, Michiko Tendo."

The boy pointed at the girl next to him.

"At the invitation of Miss Makima, we came from Kyoto to provide guidance for the Anti-Devils 4 class in Tokyo."

The girl, Tendo said.

guide?

Su Tang raised his eyebrows.

He looked at the man and woman who came in hastily, and noticed that both of them had a horizontal scar on their faces.

"What does guidance mean?" Hayakawa Qiu was the first to ask this question.

Tendo and Kurose looked at each other, and without answering the question first, asked: "Mr. Hayakawa Akira, can you still summon the fox demon now?"

Hayakawa Qiu was startled.

He pinched his index finger and thumb into a circle and whispered:

"knock."

One second, two seconds...

The wind blows.

The room was quiet.

"As expected." Kurose leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets and shook his head: "The fox demon in Kyoto was injured. It was very dissatisfied with what happened yesterday morning. Hayakawa-kun is probably disgusted by it."

what……

Is it the fox demon who was swallowed by the snake demon?

Su Tang stood aside, watching the wind blowing the bangs on Hayakawa Qiu's forehead.

He was silent, reaching out and grabbing the katana lying aside.

Tendo noticed his movements, shook his head and sighed: "That's the sword that cursed the devil's contract. I don't need to tell you, I believe Mr. Hayakawa Akira understands it himself. How many more times can you use that sword?"

"..."

"So this is your guidance?" Hayakawa Qiu's voice was a little dry.

"Well... it may be a bit hurtful to say it, but it is true." Kurose shrugged and spread his hands and said: "Based on Hayakawa-kun's current state, he is no longer suitable to continue to be a demon hunter on the front line of the public security department."

"In fact, we are here this time to provide career counseling to some hunters like Mr. Akira Hayakawa." Tendo nodded: "The police will allow you to have a fulfilling and prosperous retirement life."

"What's another option?" Hayakawa Qiu held the knife tightly in his hand and said in a low voice, "I think besides career counseling, you should also provide another way for people like me."

Tendo opened his mouth.

Sigh.

She hugged her chest and said after silence: "Although I think retirement is a better choice... But if Mr. Akira Hayakawa insists, we will provide other demons who cooperate with the public security in Tokyo. You can choose one by yourself. contract."

"Other demons?"

Su Tang asked curiously.

What kind of demon can be recognized by a professional demon-hunting department like the police?

We can't all be like the angels who are just trying to show off their temper.

"I don't know about Tokyo either. If Mr. Hayakawa Akira chooses this path, we will also need to report and submit an application."

Tiantong shook his head, then looked at Su Tang and said with some hesitation: "This is..."

"Su Tang. An ordinary psychiatrist." Su Tang introduced himself.

"Oh! I know you!" Kurose's head suddenly popped up from the side, looking at Su Tang with bright eyes: "You are the real hero in black robe in Tokyo! Your name has been spread to Kyoto. ! Many people over there are talking about you."

"What?" Su Tang tilted his head, looking puzzled: "No, why should I..."

"Of course it's because there are few heroes in this world!" Kurose interrupted Su Tang with excitement, gave a thumbs up and said: "If Miss Machima hadn't said that your identity is not allowed to be spread, I guess you He is already a popular figure in Japan."

"Uh……"

Su Tang blinked.

Isn't it just making the headlines of a news story?Is it really worth being so popular?

Seemingly sensing Su Tang's disbelief, Kurose searched the room anxiously. Then his eyes lit up and he found today's newspaper on the table.

The headlines are still about shootings and men in black robes.

Clearing his throat, Kurose straightened his tie in a ritualistic manner, and then said: "According to insiders, when the man in black robe was fighting the gunman, he once personally asked, 'Who is the real leader of Tokyo City? A great hero' and was positively recognized by the shooter..."

Su Tang's eyes widened.

Being mentioned in this way, the shameful image flooded into his brain again.

No, those are what the evil Su Tang said. What does it have to do with me, Su Tang? !

I've already passed the second semester of secondary school, okay?

Eh... wait.

Su Tang suddenly thought of something and frowned: "I had dispersed all the onlookers at that time. It was impossible for other bystanders to hear this... so the guy who provided the information was probably the escaped shooter. ah!"

"We also thought of this when we saw the news, and immediately went to the newspaper office to investigate the information." Kurose shrugged: "But according to the people at the newspaper office, a note with this news suddenly appeared at the door of the newspaper office. , the surveillance camera didn’t capture anything.”

……Row.

Su Tang was 100% sure that the 'informed person' who provided this information was the knife man.

It’s really six.You can't beat someone who plays tricks on the battlefield, right?

Man's mentality.

"Many people are saying this now, especially young people." Kurose imitated it in a good way, and said with joy: "I, the man in black robe, am the master..."

"Cough cough."

Tendo coughed twice, interrupting Kurose's improvisation.

She looked at Su Tang, who was a little embarrassed, and said, "If it's Mr. Su Tang, that's just right. Miss Machima asked us to tell you that she is back and waiting for you in the office."

"Eh? Wait for me?" Su Tang calmed down the expression on his face. He was neither surprised nor surprised by the news. He nodded and said, "Okay. Did she tell me when to go?"

"Um……"

Speaking of this, Tendo's expression seemed a little strange.

Probably similar to the kind of person who wants to gossip but finds it too ridiculous.

She said: "Miss Makima has anticipated that you will ask this question. She said that she will always be in the office, waiting for you to come at any time."

"……it is good."

Su Tang didn't expect this answer.

He glanced at Hayakawa Qiu who was sitting on the bed, then looked at the two Tendos, opened the door and said, "Then I'll go first. You continue to work."

"Okay." Tendou nodded, and then was interrupted by Kurose who looked excited and waved:

"Please sign your name for me next time we meet! Hey, Mr. Su Tang, why are you leaving so fast..."

-------------------------------------

"Boom, boom, boom."

Su Tang walked up to the second floor of the police station and knocked on the familiar door in front of him.

A familiar voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Su Tang opened the door and saw the familiar window and familiar back.

"Su Tangjun. Long time no see."

Machima turned around and said with a smile on her lips.

"Ah, long time no see."

Su Tang closed the door, pulled up a chair and sat in front of the desk very familiarly.

The two have not seen each other since they separated from Makima last Friday night.It has been four days so far, which can be considered... a long time no see.

As usual, it's a cup of tea, and as usual, it's a greeting of "what do you want to drink?"

Su Tang picked up the teacup and blew lightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Miss Machima on her promotion."

This is what he just heard in the hall downstairs.

Due to the mass shooting, the original Anti-Demon Class 1, 2, 3, and 4 were severely manpower damaged, so they were unified and merged into the new Anti-Demon Special Class 4, with Makima still serving as the section chief.

This resulted in the fact that although she was still the head of Section 4, Machima's current identity was different from before. In other words, she was actually the current head of Tokyo Public Security.

While the entire police force suffered losses, Machima not only escaped unscathed, but was actually promoted.

Su Tang could only lament that fate was unpredictable.

"Su Tangjun's information is really well-informed." Machima also poured herself a cup of tea, picked it up quietly and said: "This attack is unprecedented, and the higher-ups are very angry. The first priority after the establishment of the new Anti-Devil Class 4 The mission is to find the murderers of the shooting and eliminate their evil deeds."

"murderer……"

Su Tang frowned: "Does the police have any investigation results?"

"There are some. But in-depth investigation is still needed." Makima took a sip of tea and shook her head: "But even if we find the place where the murderer is hiding, our current manpower and combat effectiveness are still insufficient."

As she spoke, she put down her tea cup and took out a folder from the drawer on the side.

"The casualty results have come out. According to statistics, the disability rate of Tokyo public security officers in this incident reached 80.00% 50.00. The death rate accounted for 120% [-]. In other words... in one morning yesterday , the police killed [-] people."

Makima recited this string of numbers quietly, quietly, calmly, without sadness or joy.

"Some of them are also people familiar to Su Tangjun." Makima pushed the document in front of Su Tang, looked at Su Tang's face with a pair of golden pupils and said: "Hayakawa Jun lost the contracted devil and was seriously injured; Ji Ye fell into a deep sleep. He had to be hospitalized to receive nutritional support; and Hiroshi Arai... unfortunately died."

Su Tang's hands shook.

He looked at the casualty statistics in silence.Every black text above is a life lost.

How many of them are other people's children, other people's parents, and other people's spouses?

Will the broken families, the remaining family members wrapped in hatred, embark on their old path - hunting demons?

Then the endless cycle begins again.

How cruel.

"This world is always like this." Makima was the first to break the silence and said: "Demons and humans, humans and humans... endless killing and fighting."

"Yes."

Su Tang put down the document in his hand and couldn't bear to read it anymore.

He sighed: "Then what can I do..."

"Maybe." Machima suddenly said.

Su Tang raised his head.

He saw the breeze blowing through the hair beside Machima's ears, and saw the breath trembling in Machima's slender eyelashes.

“What if we could change the world.”

"Change this reality of struggle. Build a world where all people can be equal and peaceful as one family."

When Makima said these two sentences, her speaking speed did not speed up or slow down.

She said "change the world" very plainly, just like stating a fact.

It's as if these four words are not some earth-shattering event, but what to eat for lunch.

She looked at Su Tang quietly with her golden pupils and whispered:

"Su Tangjun, I also hope to see such a world."
