Inside the Public Safety Devil Hunter building.
At the entrance to Makima's office, one or two people occasionally passed by.
They basically all slowed their pace when passing, with few daring to linger or even glance at the door.
In the entire Devil Hunter Public Safety Bureau.
Makima was the most mysterious one.
Everyone only knew she directly interfaced with Japan's cabinet, and no other department could interfere with this place.
And the cabinet, to these people.
Was an existence they could never look up to.
They couldn't even think about it!
And at this time in the room.
Who knows how much time had passed.
"Tsk~"
As the two separated, silver threads stretched between them before breaking.
Makima's cheeks only had a faint pink tinge.
Her golden pupils stared into Hayashi's eyes, taking on a bit of human flavor.
"How was it?" Makima asked.
Hayashi wiped the corner of his mouth.
Had to say.
"Felt very good."
But was this where it ended?
He had been reverse-dominated - this was simply shameful!
Hayashi stood up, carried Makima to the desk, and placed her on it.
Then under Makima's expectant gaze.
She was pressed down onto the desk surface.
Hayashi also leaned down.
The same amount of time.
Hayashi got up and returned to sit properly in the chair.
Makima was still lying there, her clothes slightly disheveled, but that was it. In the office, Hayashi couldn't possibly go all out with the door unlocked.
And Makima lay on the desk, as if savoring something.
After a long while.
She lay there, turning her head to look at Hayashi.
"It would have been good if you had bitten me just now."
"???" Hayashi frowned: "If you want me to try S&M, I could play with you, but if you're talking about physical biting, I'm leaving right now."
Hayashi spoke very seriously, not joking.
Hearing this, Makima's eyes became a bit clearer, and she sat up to adjust her open shirt.
"I meant what you want."
Hayashi just watched Makima like this.
When she was arranging her shirt buttons, she really had feminine charm, full of workplace OL flavor.
But after stopping, this feeling diminished greatly.
At this time.
Hayashi saw several notebooks on the desk.
The notebooks had "Devil Assassins" written on them.
Seeing his gaze, Makima picked up the notebook and handed it to him.
Hayashi directly opened it to look.
It actually clearly recorded files of devil assassins from abroad.
Some devils were ones he had never heard of.
But familiar people were also in there.
However, the information wasn't complete.
Some only had code names, some only had gender, or only knew which devil they contracted with, etc.
Many didn't even know what they looked like.
Only then did Makima explain:
"Many humans who contract or coexist with devils are chosen according to the devil's own will, with no signs beforehand."
"I know this." Hayashi nodded.
Usually it was devils choosing humans.
How could humans have any say in choosing devils?
Ordinary humans, like Hayakawa Aki and Himeno, all paid great prices to contract with devils.
Seeing this.
Hayashi picked up another action notebook and flipped through it.
It turned out to contain actions and plans against these hostile targets.
One of the gangs was from the plot.
Seeing this, Makima helped introduce:
"This gang is colluding with devil hunters, hiding in a special building. That building very likely has a devil. Hayakawa Aki and Himeno have already taken a squad to arrest them."
"Oh right, Power is in there. If things go smoothly, they should be able to find out who the devil hunter colluding with the gang is tonight."
After hearing Makima's introduction, Hayashi felt the characters differed somewhat from his impression.
It seemed like they were split apart and merged together.
Hayashi showed a thoughtful expression.
"Are they your bait?"
Makima shook her head: "The real bait is other action squads. Where Power and the others went, the gang is just a group of ordinary people at most with firearms."
Firearms - so guns.
This wasn't too dangerous for them, but it was very dangerous for Hayakawa Aki and Himeno.
"Forget it."
Since the plot had changed, he didn't want to think about it.
It didn't matter anyway - the blood wouldn't splash on him.
After looking at Makima's office.
The two chatted in the office.
Hayashi wasn't in a hurry.
But Makima looked at the time.
"It's almost 2 PM, Hayashi-kun. We can go buy groceries and go back to cook."
"Alright."
Hayashi nodded, stood up and left with Makima.
At this time, most of the action personnel in the Public Safety Devil Hunter building had already deployed, so there weren't many people inside.
As the boss, Makima definitely didn't need to personally charge to the front.
Unless there was a big problem.
Otherwise, she just needed to wait in the office.
Going downstairs.
Hayashi got in the car, and Makima drove away.
Looking at the office building getting farther away.
Hayashi sighed: "It's good being a director - don't even need to clock in, can leave whenever you want."
He had to clock in, but she didn't even need to punch a time card.
Makima glanced at Hayashi: "How about Hayashi-kun comes to work for me? Whatever I have, Hayashi-kun will have."
Hayashi immediately shook his head: "Never mind that. Working for yourself is more free."
Makima didn't refute this point, but nodded and continued driving.
As the car drove on.
It gradually headed toward Makima's new home.
Along the way.
Hayashi saw many public safety officers.
And not just Public Safety Devil Hunter action officers.
There were also CCG ones.
It seemed that after a Senior Investigator was killed.
The CCG had already reacted quickly.
Simply put: Get revenge! Purge ghouls!
Throughout the entire area, all ordinary ghouls would be found and eliminated immediately.
Whether you were C-rank, B-rank, or A-rank.
If caught, you die!
This was the CCG establishing authority for itself.
And Aogiri Tree would also use this opportunity to similarly seek revenge, hunting CCG investigators.
But fighting with the CCG was just a cover.
Takatsuki Sen's plan was to secretly execute their prison break operation.
"Really lively." Hayashi sighed: "It would be nice if there were melons to eat."
Having free time at this point, and it being so lively.
Having melons to eat would be great. If there were also sunflower seeds to crack, that would be even better. Unfortunately, the sunflowers at home hadn't grown up yet.
Makima glanced at Hayashi.
She didn't quite understand why being lively meant eating melons.
This meme was a bit advanced for her as a devil.
Hayashi saw Makima's confused expression.
He smiled and explained: "Watching excitement is called eating melons - it means being curious and watching a show, like watching a movie with detached interest."
Like watching a movie.
This phrase made Makima understand immediately.
It also suddenly reminded her.
"Hayashi-kun, when you have time, how about going to see a movie?"
Hayashi thought about it and nodded: "Sure."
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen a movie in a long time.
Watching movies alone was the most boring.
It's still best to watch with friends, chatting about the plot together.
When it's a bad movie, cursing it together.
When it's a good movie, praising it together.
"Ring ring ring~~~"
At this time, a phone ringtone sounded in the car.
Hayashi looked and saw it wasn't his.
Makima glanced down: "Mine."
Then she took out her phone, driving with one hand and answering with the other.
"Hello."
"Makima-sama, Public Safety Division 4 entered the target building and hasn't come out for a long time. We can't reach them by phone, and there's no movement from the targets inside either. Requesting guidance!"
Hearing the phone content.
Makima didn't give instructions.
She directly hung up.
Then turned to look at Hayashi, asking apologetically:
"Hayashi-kun, are you busy this afternoon?"
Hayashi shook his head: "Not until 6 PM."
"Then could you accompany me to take a look? We'll be back quickly."
Hayashi checked the time - only 2 PM in the afternoon, there was enough time.
The melon had also arrived.
Naturally he wanted to eat it.
"Sure, let's go. Might as well see what devil is in the building."
Hearing that Hayashi was willing to go.
Makima smiled intimately.
Then she dialed the number that had just called, saying in a flat, emotionless voice: "Wait for me to come over."
Then hung up again.
For some reason.
Hayashi found that emotionless voice quite pleasant.
After hanging up.
The car turned!
The black car headed toward the scene.
Hayashi sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, when he suddenly remembered something.
Building, trapped, no signal.
Wasn't this another matter?
"What's the nature of that building where the gang gathered?"
Makima answered directly without thinking: "Hotel."
Hotel!
No wonder.
Now Hayashi understood what devil it was.
Wasn't this the Eternity Devil?
A devil that had eaten fragments of the Gun Devil's flesh.
Using the building as a vessel, time flow inside stopped, people inside would only cycle repeatedly until they were exhausted and devoured by the Eternity Devil.
Seeing that Hayashi seemed to understand something, Makima asked:
"You know the problem with that building?"
Hayashi neither confirmed nor denied.
Instead he said directly: "You'll know when you get there. You should be able to tell just by smelling."
"Good." Makima continued driving.
After a while.
The vehicle arrived at the crime scene.
Outside the building, over ten Public Safety officers in black suits were waiting.
Seeing Makima arrive, they all stood at attention.
After Makima got out of the car, they all bowed.
"Makima-sama!"
Hayashi watched this scene from the car, finding it very interesting.
Makima's authority was sufficient.
This scene was quite satisfying to watch.
"You get out too." Makima said at this time.
"Mm." Hayashi had no need to keep a low profile.
The moment he got out of the passenger seat, he attracted the gazes of all the black-suited people present.
Makima-sama brought a man?
Who was this man?
What abilities did he have?
Everyone remained silent, the scene terrifyingly quiet, but their minds were racing with thoughts.
After getting out of the car.
Makima led Hayashi directly toward the building.
The black-suited people immediately followed behind.
A reporter stepped forward to brief Makima on the current situation.
"Makima-sama, Public Safety Division 4 has been trapped for some time now. This building has cut off signals, personnel cannot enter, and those inside cannot come out either. Also..."
Simply put, it was like a formation.
Inside had become an independent space.
Never mind ordinary people.
The Eternity Devil that had eaten Gun Devil flesh fragments was an instant kill even for ordinary devils.
Makima stopped nearby.
She sniffed lightly, then nodded and looked at Hayashi.
"You're right. Eternity Devil, and it carries the scent of Gun Devil flesh fragments. Seems like it's a lucky one, or a product fed by foreign devil hunters."
As expected.
With Makima's experience, she could recognize it just by smelling.
What devil in Hell didn't Makima recognize?
As long as there was Gun Devil scent, Makima could definitely smell it.
"What do you say?" Hayashi asked with a smile.
Makima also smiled at Hayashi: "What do you think?"
Hayashi shook his head.
"If I don't care about the people inside, I'd call for rockets to blast this building, but the Gun Devil would become stronger from this."
"If I care about the people inside, either use powerful force to crush this building."
"Or let the people inside break out themselves."
The current Eternity Devil could be understood as an egg.
The time inside the egg was indeed stopped.
At the same time, the egg's exterior was very hard.
But it had a critical threshold.
As long as the egg shell received one-time damage exceeding the critical threshold.
The Eternity Devil couldn't defend the entire building either.
So once the eggshell cracked.
The Eternity Devil would be finished too.
The only difficulty here was that you had to blast this eggshell in one go.
That's why Hayashi suggested using rockets.
This thing was still most effective.
Hearing Hayashi's suggestion.
The surrounding black-suited public safety officers were all rapidly calculating the trade-offs in their minds.
But for Makima.
Among the people inside, the only one with any value might be Power.
But she also couldn't use rockets to bomb it.
So...
Before taking action.
Makima leaned close to Hayashi's ear and asked softly:
"Can the Eternity Devil's heart serve as the main course for later today?"
Hayashi looked at Makima with surprise.
He nodded: "Yes."
Makima nodded slightly, indicating she understood.
But after thinking, she asked again:
"Can you devour the Gun Devil fragments?"
Hayashi still nodded: "Yes."
At this point.
Makima no longer needed to consider.
While the numerous black-suited public safety officers were still puzzled about why Makima was so intimate with Hayashi.
Makima held Hayashi's hand.
Raised it up, aiming at the building.
Then made a gun gesture with her hand - index finger forward, thumb up, other fingers curled back.
Aiming at the building, "pulling the trigger."
"Bang~" Makima said softly.
The next moment.
Like an air cannon blasting out!
The spot on the building where Makima pointed instantly developed a huge hole nearly 2 meters in diameter!
One strike pierced through the entire building, even showing the backyard through the building!
"Hiss!!!"
The pierced building actually let out a violent shriek.
At the same time, running sounds could be heard.
Then several heads popped out from the pierced opening, shouting at everyone.
"This is a strange devil! It has infinite stamina, infinite revival, retreat quickly!" This was Hayakawa Aki shouting.
"Remember to distribute the compensation to my former comrades' families." This was Himeno shouting.
"This devil has nowhere for me to suck blood!" This was Power shouting.
Power was the Blood Devil - theoretically as long as she could keep sucking blood, she could fight the Eternity Devil forever without stopping.
But after the Eternity Devil possessed the building, she couldn't very well suck on steel beams, right?
It didn't give her any chance to suck blood at all.
Facing the squad's shouts.
Makima looked at her hand with regret, turned to Hayashi and said:
"The power is enough, but the range isn't."
Makima's hand cannon was very powerful.
It could even shoot devils from land into space.
The penetration was sufficient, but the attack range was a weakness - like how a bullet couldn't destroy an entire car with one shot, but could pierce through it.
"Range, huh." Hayashi thought about it, then suddenly had an inspiration.
"Got it!"
Makima: "?"
Under Makima's puzzled gaze.
This time Hayashi took Makima's hand and made the same gun gesture as before.
He mobilized the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, adding it to his hand.
Ready to fuse with the hand cannon Makima would fire at any moment.
But Makima couldn't sense it.
At this time Hayashi said: "One more shot, Makima."
Although Makima didn't know what had changed, and the surrounding black-suited people were anxious and didn't know what was happening.
But Makima was willing to trust Hayashi.
So Makima said softly again: "Bang~"
The next moment.
The hand cannon carrying the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power instantly fired!
The moment it hit the building!
"Ahhh!!!" The Eternity Devil let out an inhuman, more torturous than torture shriek and scream.
And the building...
The entire thing turned to powder!
