I don't want to be an elf!

"Denji, are you disobeying my orders?" Machima raised an eyebrow. "On the day I joined the police force, I remember saying that disobedient dogs have no reason to exist, right?"

"We can't even be sure if they're really planning to destroy Tokyo! There must be other ways!"

“We cannot take risks. As long as they show such intentions, we must nip any potential danger in the bud. That is the meaning of the existence of the police.”

"In other words... if I can persuade them not to destroy Tokyo, the Public Security Bureau won't need to take action against them, right?"

“Of course.” Machima gave him a deep look. “Do you have a plan?”

"I want to talk to them first."

What if the negotiations break down?

"If the negotiations break down, I will take responsibility."

Machima smiled.

If the negotiations fail, the Yamai sisters, who are now wary of Denji, will probably not be so easy to kill.

If Dian Ci were to take action against them, it would be tantamount to a true break.

They will surely keep their promise and destroy Tokyo.

Denji's actions undoubtedly tied Tokyo's fate to his own.

Brave but reckless.

But Machima didn't say much.

"It's inevitable for people to make mistakes in life."

Machima glanced at Dianci, picked up her pen, and continued reviewing the documents on the table: "If you want to try, I won't stop you."

"Thank you, Miss Machima!"

Seeing his boss's tacit approval, Dianci revealed an excited expression.

"No matter what, I will make them change their minds!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Hayakawa Aki's Choice

After receiving Machima's tacit approval, Denji left the office.

Upon seeing Denji appear, the Yamai sisters, who were standing not far away, immediately walked over quickly.

"Does Machima know about the choice of the electric vehicle?"

"You better not mess this up!"

Faced with the two women's aggressive demeanor, Denji quickly raised his hand to calm them down.

Choosing only one option, or not choosing any at all, is not an option that Denji likes.

If possible, he wanted to keep both Yamai.

Although he had no idea how to do it, he had to do it no matter what, so that the Yamai sisters would not become enemies of all mankind, and so that the Public Security Bureau would not have to turn its swords against its former comrades.

The first step he needs to take is to buy more time.

"Miss Machima said this is a very important choice and cannot be decided lightly."

Denji brought up Machima's name and casually lied, "So Miss Machima has decided to give me another day to think it over carefully before making a decision."

"Huh? What's there to think about carefully? Anyone with eyes can see the difference between my strengths and weaknesses and Yuzuru's!"

“Agreed. Electric doesn’t need to think, he just needs to say a name.”

However, the Yamai sisters were not intimidated by Machima's reputation and continued to press her relentlessly.

A threatening glint flashed in their eyes, as if reminding them of the consequences of making the wrong choice.

Dianci's eyes twitched violently a few times.

Isn’t it good to be alive?

Why are you in such a hurry to die?

I'm the one making the decision, not you. Do you know how much pressure I'm under?!

Thinking this, an unnamed anger welled up in my heart.

"I'm under a lot of pressure right now, you'd better let me relax a bit."

Denji narrowed his eyes, his tone also carrying a threat: "You know I'm an idiot. If I'm pushed too far, I might make a wrong decision, which wouldn't be good, would it?"

The Yamai sisters were slightly taken aback when they heard Denji's tone suddenly harden.

After a moment of silence, their aggressive aura gradually disappeared.

"What a troublesome fellow. Well then, I'll give you another day to think it over."

"Permission, one day at a time, Yuzuru can wait."

Seeing the two give in, Denji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If they refuse to wait any longer, there's nothing he can do.

Fortunately, his impulsive and rash personality is deeply ingrained in people's minds, so even the Yamai sisters don't want to push him too hard.

After all, if we let the dog get desperate, it would be a loss.

After getting a precious day of buffer time, Denji let the Yamai sisters do whatever they wanted.

He needs to make good use of this day to come up with a solution.

After watching the Yamai sisters leave in different directions, Denji immediately took out his phone and dialed a number in his contacts.

As soon as the dial tone sounded, the call was quickly connected.

"help me!"

"Help you with what?" Hayakawa Aki's voice rang out with a hint of impatience and helplessness: "I'm still on patrol. If you cause any trouble and expect me to solve it for you, then don't even dream about it. It's time for you to learn to clean up your own messes."

"This is very important! It concerns the fate of Tokyo!"

It's okay if you can't think of a solution.

He just needs to get someone smarter than him to help him think of the solutions.

However, he didn't know many people in the Exorcism Class, and the few he did know didn't seem as reliable as himself. Under these circumstances, the only person he could think of who could help him was Hayakawa Aki.

Although he didn't particularly like this long-winded guy, it was undeniable that Hayakawa Aki was much calmer and more meticulous than him.

Most importantly, Denji believed that Hayakawa Aki wouldn't want to become enemies with the Yamai sisters.

"Put down what you're doing and let's meet at the Big Bang Burger restaurant. We can talk about the details when we meet!"

"I'm speaking in a hurry," Dianci said.

"Oh right, I haven't had breakfast yet! If you get there first, remember to order me a set meal!"

----------

----------

An hour later, at the Big Bang Burger restaurant.

Hayakawa Aki's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He took a drag and tried to process the information Denji had just poured out to him.

He only knew the most basic information about the Yamai sisters, such as their goal of integration and their purpose in joining the Public Security Bureau to ensure fair judgment by the Public Security Bureau personnel.

He didn't pay much attention to this matter.

What he was more concerned about was how the police should deal with the Wind Demon, who was no longer bound by them after the two Yamai merged into one.

However, after Denji told him that the two Yamai actually wanted each other to become the true Wind Demons, and that if he didn't do what they said, they would destroy Tokyo, he couldn't help but start smoking one cigarette after another.

Now the pressure is on Hayakawa Aki.

He couldn't rely on Dianci, so he had to come up with a way that would prevent anyone from getting hurt.

Exhaling a deep puff of white mist, Hayakawa Aki asked with a serious expression, "Denji, are you sure they're really willing to sacrifice themselves for each other, to value each other more than themselves?"

"Yes, I can confirm that."

"If it's true, then there might still be a solution..."

"Really? You're definitely smarter than me! I've come to the right person!"

"Don't rush to celebrate. For my method to succeed, there's one major prerequisite."

Hayakawa Aki paused, then asked in a deep voice, "For them, is the name Kazemachi Yamai more important, or are they more important to each other?"

"this......"

When asked this question, Dianci couldn't answer it for a moment.

Because he didn't know either.

Since they appeared in the human world, the Yamai sisters have been vying for the name Kazemachi Yamai.

In that case, devouring the opponent to become the true Wind Demon, Kazeya Masashi, is naturally a very important matter.

However, in Denji's eyes, the Yamai sisters also value each other very much.

Therefore, he could not answer the question.

Seeing Denji remain silent, Hayakawa Aki knew his answer.

"So, we have no choice but to take a gamble...?"

Hayakawa Akira murmured to himself.

As a demon hunter, protecting humanity is his mission.

Logically speaking, he should refuse to help Denji, choose to stand with Makima, and eliminate the Yamai sisters before the disaster occurs.

However, just like Denji, he couldn't bring himself to harm his comrades.

"Looks like I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany this idiot."

Stubbornly extinguishing his cigarette, Hayakawa Aki said earnestly, "I have a plan, but the success rate is low. I need you to give me a guarantee."

"What guarantee?"

"If my plan fails, you must transform into Chainsaw Man to ambush them and eliminate the Yamai sisters."
