I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Kill me."

Reese turned to look at Denji, who had turned into a chainsaw man and was running back. If she could, she would rather it was this person in front of her who killed her.

Denji froze upon hearing this. He wanted to say something, but Tina stopped him before he could speak: "He's an assassin here to kill you. There's no need to keep her alive. Let Little Red send her away from this world."

"and many more…"

Denji tried to stop her, but Tina shouted directly at Higashiyama Kokoro, "No need to wait, make your move."

"Ok!"

She already knew Tina's plan through TT, so she prepared to take action: "Reise, for the sake of... the fact that you and Denji liked each other, I will let you leave this world in peace."

Their commotion naturally attracted a lot of attention: wild animals, passersby, reporters, and police hunters on their way.

However, just as they could see her but hadn't gotten close, Dongshan Xiaohong drew her sword once again.

Tina then shouted to Pava, "Pava! Play Pava's divine song!"

"Leave it to me!"

As Dongshan Xiaohong took out the knife again, Pava fast-forwarded the music to its climax.

As Leise watched Higashiyama Kokoro draw her sword once more, a flashback of her life flickered through her mind. What had she experienced in her life? Training, missions, battles… Perhaps the happiest days of her life were these very days?

"I'm sorry, Denji, I lied to you. I never actually went to school..."

The sword was drawn, then sheathed. At that moment, not only Power, but the surrounding vegetation and air seemed to have been cleaved in two, creating a visual effect of slashing. With the final blow, the Bomb Demon's body was sliced ​​into countless pieces.

With the appearance of Dimensional Slash, Denji knelt on the ground, and the blood dripping around him seemed to fall on the ground like his tears.

Only some clothing and flesh remnants were left at the scene. Even if someone were to search for the core of the Bomber Demon, they probably wouldn't be able to find it, because most of the flesh was no longer in this world.

Dimensional Slash—this move was used against Zedo, but by then the enemy was either dead or completely controlled by Makima. Therefore, apart from Makima and a few others present, no one had ever seen Higashiyama Kokoro use the Yama Blade.

This time, they truly saw Dongshan Xiaohong—no, to be precise, they saw the power emanating from Pawa!

The location where Reise stood was instantly enveloped by the Dimensional Slash, hundreds of blows in an instant, each one aimed at a vital spot, each one potentially fatal. Forget about Bomberman, even Denji in his Chainsaw Man form couldn't withstand this attack.

The slash that severed space obliterated everything around it. Except for a few rats in the gutter and crows circling in the sky, everything around turned to dust, and even flesh and blood could be evaporated in that instant.

Watching Reise leave this world, Denji felt a void in his heart, as if he could no longer feel joy or sorrow.

It's closing time for the internet cafe now, and under normal circumstances, customers are not allowed to stay inside.

Inside the store, Lesse appeared in the lobby covered in blood. Liu Yuan introduced her to Leticia, saying, "Lesse is an assassin. Tina asked if we needed more staff, so we introduced her. Do you like her? I'll just stay here. Given the characteristics of the demons in the Little Red World, once my body recovers, I probably won't have any clothes left, right?"

After saying that, Liu Yuan left the branch store and went to the main store to have fun with Jibril.

"Um…"

At this moment, Leise's mind hadn't quite processed what was happening. One second she was about to be killed, and the next second...

Her mind was in turmoil, and as she was lost in thought, she drank blood. It was blood given to her by someone who looked like a little girl.

This is blood from Leticia: "Drink it."

Each store has a combination of a store manager and a network administrator. According to her understanding, the store manager should have some special requirements, but the network administrator does not.

She thought she would wait until her store developed further before hiring a network administrator, but she didn't expect to be given one today?

Leticia placed her hand on Rese's head. Rese, who had absorbed the blood, had returned to normal through the power of the demon. Feeling Rese's thoughts and power, Leticia finally nodded.

"It's alright, but this guy's a bit of a nuisance..."

As she spoke, Leticia reached out her hand. Leticia was still considered a demon, and the demon inside a demon's body possessed consciousness to a certain extent. Such a demon was not suitable to be an employee.

For her, eliminating the demon within her while retaining the characteristics of the bomb-wielding demon was not a difficult task.

The requirements for network administrators at each branch are not high. As long as they can guide customers, follow instructions, and don't cause trouble during work hours, everything else is fine. As for what their network administrators are like in their own world, as long as they are not antisocial, anti-human, or anti-world personality types, they can make do.

Meanwhile, in the world of Chainsaw Man, Denji looked at Reese, who was dead beyond recognition, and felt as if his heart was empty. He could no longer feel joy or sorrow.

Tina walked over to him and comforted him, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering why they all want Chainsaw Man."

The heart.

He reminisced about his life from becoming the Chainsaw Man until now, how demons and humans alike wanted his heart, and even the woman he loved…

"Chainsaw Man? No, when we were eavesdropping just now, she said she wanted Denji's heart. I don't know who Chainsaw Man is, but I know she wants Denji's heart, not Chainsaw Man's."

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

These words silenced Denji completely: "Then... what were her last words?"

Tina stood on tiptoe, whispered in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "She said she never went to school either."

These words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving Denji completely stunned.

He regretted it a little. If he had told Leisei that he also wanted to leave, would the outcome have been different?

He didn't hate Dongshan Xiaohong's decisiveness; enemies must be eliminated. But Leise's death was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, something he could never get rid of.

Tina sensed the situation was about right, so she called out to Dongshan Xiaohong, "Little Hong~ Can we still go play?"

"OK!"

Dongshan Xiaohong, catching her breath and covered in sweat, said, "Hime-senpai called me and said I can go back to play anytime. The bounty and stuff is really, really high~"

Eliminating the foreign-sent bomb monster is a feat that surpasses 99% of the Demon Public Security's achievements. Moreover, the fact that such a powerful monster was eliminated without causing any damage to the surrounding environment or loss of life is nothing short of a miracle.

As for whether it's real or fake? Machima has witnessed everything through the animals around her and confirmed that it's real.

However, she felt something was strange; Reese's death just now seemed to have vanished suddenly. Without any demonic power, Reese disappeared the instant the slash erupted. Makima had never seen such a way of dying before.

"Is this also one of your powers?"

Machima's face was expressionless. She was considering whether to control Dongshan Xiaohong, but then abandoned the idea. Her sister, Yoel, was inside her; failure would be tantamount to making an enemy for no reason.

As long as Dongshan Xiaohong doesn't cause trouble, she's willing to hire her at a high salary to deal with some troublesome enemies. Of course, it would be even better if Dongshan Xiaohong were powerful enough to weaken the power of the Gun Demon.

Chapter 233 The Love Story of Denji and Bomber (Bonus Chapter)

Before dawn the next day, Higashiyama Koko arrived at the Hayakawa house with a bouquet of flowers, knocked on the door, and Hayakawa Aki opened it.

"Hello."

"Hello, how does the demonic power feel...?"

Hayakawa Aki hesitated for a moment before nodding. Becoming stronger by spending money was something Hayakawa Aki had never thought of before. Although the price of 200,000 yen per use was a bit high, the salary and bonuses given by the Anti-Demon Public Security Bureau were even higher, leaving some money left over after basic expenses.

He was worried about his two precious children and whether they would survive if he were gone one day.

"As long as it works, that's fine. Um... is Denji-kun there?"

"Yes, he was completely out of it when he came back last night. He wouldn't eat, drink, or sleep..."

"It's okay, I'll go comfort him."

"His room is here."

Guided by Hayakawa Aki, Higashiyama Koko arrived at Denji's room. The room was pitch black, and Denji was sitting on the bed staring blankly ahead.

After locking the door behind her, Higashiyama Kokoro walked over to Denji and took out a piece of paper. Just yesterday, when Tina left, she specifically mentioned that Kokoro was being watched and that any matters involving Reise should be communicated in writing.

The paper had the words "Want to see Leisei?" written in large letters.

Upon seeing these words, Dianci fell silent. It wasn't that he didn't believe them, but rather that he was illiterate. His education level was limited; perhaps because he had sold gold and jade before, he could recognize the meaning of gold and jade, but so many characters were a bit of a challenge.

"... "

Dongshan Xiaohong fell silent; she never expected that Dianci couldn't read. But it wasn't a big problem, since he wasn't resisting. She first took a bouquet of flowers from her backpack, then forcefully shoved it into Dianci's hand before leading him into the internet cafe.

Inside the internet cafe, Denji was still staring blankly. If no one could wake him up, he would be in the same state as when he had been touched by a sex toy demon, and it would take him a while to recover.

There was no other way; after all, this time the shock was even greater than before. If he hadn't heard Leise's confession, hadn't heard Tina repeat her words, he could only assume that Leise was someone with ulterior motives towards Chainsaw Man's heart.

Tina made it clear that Reese wanted his heart, not the Chainsaw Man's heart, which proved that she cared about me.

And finally... But when Denji recalled the last words Tina relayed, a familiar voice brought his soul back to consciousness.

"Denji?"

"Lei, Lei Sai?"

Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, Denji was completely stunned. He saw a bouquet of flowers in his hand and, without thinking, held them up: "Here, this is for you."

Seeing Denji regain his spirits, Higashiyama Koko smiled. She quietly found an empty seat and sat down. Not long after she sat down, Tina sat next to her and asked softly, "How are you?"

"If things continue like this, both of them will be idiots."

. "

Denji and Reise were still standing there, staring at each other blankly. Neither of them had expected to see each other under these circumstances.

Just then, Leticia spoke up: "This guest, if you're not using the internet, please don't stand in the middle and disturb the other guests." As she spoke, she took out a stool and placed it in an empty spot, gesturing for Dianci to sit down.

Branch number two currently has no new staff; it's just the trio of Goku, Baki, and Garou, plus Shin, who's currently building Titan. Besides, it's Reese's first day on the job, so she needs to work when customers have shopping requests, but otherwise she can slack off like Kisara, who's secretly watching from a distance.

The two sitting together didn't know how to start the conversation. After what seemed like an eternity, Dianci finally spoke up, saying, "You've never been to school, and neither have I. How about we study together?"

Denji felt like a genius, able to start the conversation so easily, little did he know that the onlookers almost burst out laughing when they heard his opening remarks.

Who starts a conversation like that? But to the astounding surprise of Mugen, Reise actually agreed? And the two of them were actually studying? Studying in an internet cafe? What kind of joke are they playing?

Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Young people these days don't understand."

Kisara, standing nearby, asked in a low voice, "Boss, how did you confess your feelings back in your student days?"

"Me? I've never confessed my feelings!"

"what?"

Liu Yuan stroked his chin and recalled, "The thing that accompanied me the longest during my student days was probably the '53' practice exam, right? Oh! And all sorts of past exam papers. During breaks, I played all sorts of games. Girls were too much trouble."

Thinking back on his past experiences, Liu Yuan couldn't help but complain, "You have no idea how funny it was. My deskmate was heartbroken. Our grades were about the same, but I encouraged her to find someone else. Then I helped her and the class monitor set up, and they got together."

"and then?"

"And then her grades never got any better than mine again."

"... "

Kisara gasped, while Tina and Higashiyama Kokoro, who were eavesdropping, were also stunned. What kind of bizarre operation was this? Helping someone find a partner just to make their grades worse than their own?
