"Happy… Devil?"
Hearing Fang Mo's statement, Hayakawa Aki and Himeno also subconsciously glanced at each other.
This Devil is really unheard of. Normally, Devils are born from human fears, like some people are afraid of bats, so the bat Devil is born.
And after these Devils are born, they feed on human fears in return.
They keep killing humans, creating panic, and then the fear brewed by these humans, in turn, makes them stronger.
But you mentioned this 'Happy Devil'... Happy refers to joy, pleasure, and delight, right? Are people really afraid of such things? Honestly, both of them find it hard to accept, but it doesn't look like you're lying. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more realistic to make up some other Devil?
Since they couldn't figure it out, Himeno decided not to beat around the bush anymore.
"I want to ask..."
Himeno asked, "What is your purpose for coming here?"
"Purpose?"
"You said you are a Devil, right?" Himeno's expression became serious: "Since you are a Devil, you must be hostile towards humans, right? It's rare to encounter a Devil we can communicate with, so I want to ask clearly, do you just want to kill people, or do you have some other purpose?"
"Oh, you mean that."
Hearing Himeno's question, Fang Mo nodded and then slowly raised three fingers: "Although I am a Devil, I am still a rather principled guy, so I generally only kill two types of people."
"Which two?"
Himeno asked cautiously.
"The first type, the excessively wealthy; the second type, those with dark ehmm skin." Fang Mo said cheerfully: "The third type, people who can't count."
"So, isn't that three types of people?"
Hearing this, Hayakawa Aki's straightforward male colleague... that is, Hirokazu Arai couldn't help but murmur a complaint, but the next second, a huge malice suddenly targeted him.
"Good, I've found someone who can't count."
As Fang Mo said this, he raised a finger, and a muddy purple-black energy began to gather at his fingertip.
"Yikes!?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Higashiyama Kobeni nearby was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she sat down on the ground with a thud: "It's over... I'm going to die on my first mission!"
"Wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, Himeno suddenly shouted and ran over to kick Arai forcefully: "What nonsense are you talking about, you fool? Are you confused? Think again, how many types were there?"
"Ah... Ah..."
Arai was also stunned, but after being kicked by Himeno, he came to his senses. Seeing Himeno frantically winking at him, he quickly corrected himself: "Senior Himeno, sorry, I saw it wrong just now, it should be two types!"
"Look!"
Himeno hurriedly said to Fang Mo: "Arai can still count..."
"Oh, I see."
Seeing this, Fang Mo also smiled and stopped his actions. The ball of destructive energy he was forming instantly vanished.
"..."
Both Hayakawa Aki and Himeno breathed a sigh of relief at this.
Especially Hayakawa Aki, the atmosphere just now was extremely tense, as if swords were drawn. If it had been him, he would have acted rashly, but luckily, Senior Himeno was quick-witted.
"So, you came here just to kill these types of people?"
After the crisis was averted, Himeno asked Fang Mo again: "There must be another purpose, right? Otherwise, you would have already found a way to hunt down those wealthy people, the ones overflowing with riches..."
"That's indeed true."
Fang Mo slowly nodded: "Actually, killing for me is just for fun, my real purpose is... just for fun."
"Huh???"
Hearing Fang Mo's statement, both Hayakawa Aki and Himeno were again bewildered.
Honestly, this might be the most bizarre Devil they have ever encountered. Just communicating with him is so exhausting. What does it mean to kill for fun and the real purpose is just for fun? What is he 'doing' here?
"So, is your real purpose still to kill?"
Hayakawa Aki inwardly despised Devils, and at this moment, he was somewhat unable to keep his composure: "Am I right?"
"Alright, I'll show my hand."
Having teased enough, Fang Mo straightforwardly spread his hands and said, "To be honest, my purpose here is to have some fun."
"Have fun?"
Both were stunned again upon hearing this.
"Just finding something that makes me happy to do."
Fang Mo smiled and explained, "In human terms, it's probably something like... seeking happiness, I guess? As I said earlier, I'm a Happy Devil. You can also call me a joyous person, the master of enjoyment and delight, the spokesperson of joyful shame, the only spreader of laughter in hell."
"In short, my whole life is dedicated to pursuing happiness and joy."
Fang Mo said this and spread his hands: "I'm not messing around, just on the way to messing around... Anyway, I think this place seems quite suitable for me, so I came uninvited."
"Pursuing joy and happiness..."
Hearing Fang Mo's words, both subconsciously nodded their heads.
If what he said was true, a Happy Devil pursuing Happiness... it suddenly seemed reasonable. However, even so, he was still very dangerous. After all, a Devil's joy is generally built on human suffering, so they still couldn't let their guard down.
"Aki, call Miss Makima and explain the situation."
After thinking for a moment, Himeno said to Hayakawa Aki.
"That's what I was thinking too."
Hayakawa Aki nodded, glanced warily at Fang Mo, then went aside to make a call, quietly reporting the situation.
"Makima..."
As the two's conversation wasn't hidden from Fang Mo, he also heard the name. However, unlike the respect shown by the two, a rare hint of disgust flashed in Fang Mo's eyes: "Tch, what a bad woman indeed."
Yes, this Makima was the ultimate villain of this world.
Her true form is also a Devil, and she is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Control Devil, with a very high status.
Of course, the title of 'bad woman' for Makima wasn't given by Fang Mo but was universally acknowledged by the vast majority of netizens. Her domain is Control, so her favorite things to do are raising and training dogs. Over time, the protagonist Denji gradually becomes obediently trained by her, turning into a devoted follower. Whatever Makima says, Denji does it seriously without questioning right or wrong.
Fang Mo is unclear about what others think.
But personally, he is very averse to Makima's character.
She is not only pretending to be a goddess and raising devoted followers, but she also does many bad things behind the scenes.
In Chainsaw Man, almost all of the blades are related to Makima, including the deaths of Himeko, Hayakawa Aki, Power, Reze, Angel Devil's massacre of the village, and Denji's mental breakdown. This woman really did all the bad things to the extreme, especially playing with emotions, which Fang Mo finds most disgusting.
Unfortunately, she is well-hidden at the moment.
Currently, no one knows her true identity as a Devil, and her apparent identity is the captain of the Special Devil Division, which includes Hayakawa Aki and Denji, her direct subordinates.
In fact, given the current situation, Makima might already be aware of Fang Mo's existence. After all, she can control many small animals to help her monitor the city's every move, so it's estimated that they will meet soon. Fang Mo is quite curious about how she will treat him.
And as Fang Mo thought, Hayakawa Aki soon finished the call and came back.
"Miss Makima said to bring him back."
