Why would anyone be afraid of something like this?
Looking at the corpse of the Gender Swap Devil under Denji's foot, Yuzuru Yamai couldn't help but twitch her mouth slightly.
However, it was probably because people's fear of gender-swapping wasn't very strong, which led to this Devil not even reacting when Denji attacked. She was killed with one strike.
Yuzuru Yamai felt a bit regretful.
Originally, she had planned to strike down the Devil herself, but to her surprise, Denji, disgusted as he was, acted faster than her.
But she didn't say anything.
It was just a Devil; if someone stole the kill, it wasn't a big deal.
"Calm down, please don't panic, Yuzuru and Denji are Devil hunters from the Public Security Bureau."
Approaching the victim of the Gender Swap Devil, Yuzuru Yamai calmly said according to the Public Security's regulations: "Please stay where you are. Since you've been affected by the Devil's ability, you will be temporarily detained by the Public Security Bureau until you are confirmed to be harmless."
"W-wait, how long will this detention last?" The girl with black straight hair asked, her voice trembling. "I still have work tomorrow. If I don't go, I'll lose my perfect attendance for the month. If my boss fires me, my whole family will be homeless!"
"Tch, how can anyone think about work right after being attacked by a Devil?"
Denji, now out of Chainsaw Man form, walked up with an expression of disbelief. "The Public Security Bureau will coordinate with your company. You can treat it as a little break. Your family will also be supported by the Public Security Bureau until you no longer need care. Be thankful."
Upon hearing Denji, the girl's expression went blank.
She didn't really hear what Denji had said.
Because as soon as she saw him, a strange desire started burning in her stomach.
"M-man... man..."
The girl swallowed hard, her gaze fixed on Denji.
As her inner desire grew stronger, an abnormal flush appeared on her face.
"This young man looks quite sturdy! Let me touch!"
"Get lost!"
The girl, with a silly expression, lunged at Denji but was immediately kicked away by him without mercy.
It seemed like the Gender Swap Devil's words were correct.
After being affected by her powers, seeing men made the victims involuntarily lust after them.
And according to the Devil's words, if a man were to engage in intimate acts with one of the Devil's followers, they too would be infected by the power and turn into a beautiful girl.
If left unchecked, it could spread like a plague, gradually leading to the extinction of men in the world.
Seeing the girl, who seemed to have lost her rationality and continued to attack Denji, Yuzuru Yamai acted quickly. With a thought, the Raphael · El Na'ash wrapped the girl up, tightly restraining her arms and legs.
"Impressive, Denji, now you're popular too."
"What the hell, I don't want to be liked by an old man."
"Hmm, now the old man's a beautiful girl."
"But I've already seen this guy's former self—he was a middle-aged, greasy old man with a beer belly and thinning hair. Now, whether he's a beautiful girl or not, it doesn't matter!"
"Interesting, Yuzuru thought Denji was the kind of guy who would accept anyone, but it turns out he's unexpectedly concerned about others' pasts."
As they were talking, several women with panicked expressions ran towards them from the direction the Gender Swap Devil had come from.
Their appearances were quite ordinary, and they looked young and old, not resembling followers of the Gender Swap Devil at all.
"What happened? Is there another Devil?"
Denji stopped one of the women and asked.
"No, no, it's not a Devil, it's those people who were turned into women by the Devil!" An older woman said in a panic. "Young man, you should run quickly. Those people have gone crazy. When they see men, they attack. My husband was caught by them!"
Upon hearing this, Denji and Yuzuru Yamai didn't hesitate and immediately rushed forward.
Sure enough, in the nearby street, the area ravaged by the Gender Swap Devil had turned into an open-air orgy.
The men who had been affected by the Devil had all turned into various beautiful girls, grabbing male pedestrians and engaging in primal acts of intimacy in broad daylight.
From eight-year-old children to eighty-year-old elderly men, no male was spared.
And the men who had been corrupted by them had also been transformed into new beautiful girls, spreading out in search of new prey.
Seeing this lewd scene, Denji didn't have the slightest desire to enjoy it. Instead, he felt his scalp go numb.
"Hey, hey, this is beyond my capabilities." Denji said with an expression of annoyance. "What should we do? Are they humans or Devils now? If we kill them all, will Makima be mad at us?"
"Answer: Yuzuru doesn't know either."
"So, what do we do now?"
"Request: Denji, quickly inform Makima."
A gust of invisible wind swirled around Yuzuru Yamai.
"Before that, I'll try to hold them off."
Twenty minutes later, Makima arrived at the scene in a car.
Before she could even step out, she saw several figures strangely floating in the air.
When she entered the disaster area, she realized that in this part of the district, there were thousands of people floating like that.
"Explanation: To prevent the situation from worsening, Yuzuru had no choice but to control them all."
As soon as Makima got out of the car and before she could ask anything, Yuzuru Yamai began to explain.
Due to the significant influence of the Gender Swap Devil, the Public Security Bureau was unable to respond immediately.
If these infected people spread to other areas, the losses would be significant.
To prevent more people from being turned, Yuzuru Yamai had to go all out and blow all the infected people into the air, restraining their movements.
"... "
Looking at the thousands of people struggling in the sky, Makima didn't know what to say.
Although her plan to weaken the Yamai sisters had been ongoing for some time, why did she feel like their strength hadn't been reduced at all?
Was it because their fame had only spread in Japan? Or was the weakening too minimal to notice?
"Good job. This will add a significant mark to your score for this month."
After a while, Makima regained her usual calm demeanor and said lightly, "Thanks to you, the number of Devil attacks in Tokyo and even all of Japan has significantly decreased. On behalf of the Public Security Bureau's Devil Division, I thank you."
She paused before continuing, "However, many other countries are still deeply affected by Devil invasions. Would you and Kaguya be willing to represent Japan and go provide support to those countries?"
Upon hearing this, Yuzuru Yamai's eyes flickered slightly.
Actually, she had already been thinking about this.
Due to the Yamai sisters' recent rampage, the frequency of Devil appearances had dropped significantly compared to last month, and the progress of Subtask 1 had slowed down noticeably.
Moreover, in Japan, besides Chainsaw Man and the Sword Devil, there were no other weaponized humans, and Subtask 2 hadn't progressed in a while.
But because of their image, it wasn't easy to speak up and ask.
Now that Makima had brought it up and given them a legitimate reason, she naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Then, we will arrange the necessary procedures for both of you."
Makima smiled, but in her heart, she was already scheming.
"Please assist with the Devils in other countries as well."
