Chapter 195: Easy Revenge
That was... a memory from Aki Hayakawa's past.
The memory of the first time Himeno-senpai convinced him to smoke...
"Cigarettes corrode people's bones, I don't want to."
"We'll have to deal with each other for a long time in the future, can I have a smoke~~~?"
"Then I'll have one..."
"But I'll only smoke this one in this lifetime..."
"Great, I'll light a cigarette for you."
"You're really letting a minor smoke, I've never seen a senior like you."
"Are you still a minor?"
"Yes..."
"Of course I can't let you smoke!"
"Ah..."
"Give it to me!"
Himeno took the cigarette back, and then held it and said, "This cigarette will be kept here first."
"When you grow up, when you want to lean on the railing and have a smoke one day... I'll give it back to you."
Is this... memory-killing?
In manga, characters who are about to die and depart often have a memory-recall murder scene.
This confuses the fans a bit.
Could it be that the Future Devil said Aki Hayakawa would die in the most miserable way, and it would be here? Is this then the knife that was originally planned?
But...
when the memory faded, Aki Hayakawa knelt on the ground.
Upon regaining his senses, he discovered that the Ghost Devil had already released its hand from his neck.
Aki Hayakawa knelt before the Ghost Devil, like a baby, unable to resist.
But the Ghost Devil did nothing.
He raised his head and looked at the hand in front of him... the Ghost Devil was reaching out to him.
It was the hand of the Ghost Devil that Himeno had squeezed with her eyeball...
At that moment, the hand slowly opened its palm towards him.
In the palm of the hand... it held a cigarette.
It was the cigarette that Aki Hayakawa had left with Himeno for safekeeping in his memory.
He reached out and took it.
Then, a line in English appeared on the cigarette: "Easy revenge!".
The words appeared on the cigarette, and somehow, the manga fans instantly burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu, author, you're not human!"
Yuka couldn't control her emotions, and her tears blurred the image in front of her.
She took out some tissues and kept wiping her tears.
Himeno... Even if she died, she would still be thinking of Aki Hayakawa and helping him!
At first, everyone thought Himeno's role ended there.
Even if Aki Hayakawa and Denji avenged her later, that was all.
But unexpectedly... Ren turned around and stabbed them here!
The Huiyan sword technique was the most unexpected and the saddest.
At that moment, Himeno's popularity and characterization finally reached their peak.
All the manga fans felt sorry for Himeno and cried for her.
"Really..."
Kenji Tanaka couldn't help his eyes welling up with tears upon seeing the plot. "You're worthy of your name, old rogue Silverhand."
"What a familiar sword technique..."
"Old rogue Silverhand! Hahahaha, I'll go to the asylum to find you right now!"
"Senior Himeno... wuwuwuwuwu, even if she's dead, she's still concerned about Aki Hayakawa and is still helping him."
"This is a flashback! Kill me! Old rogue Silverhand!"
After seeing this plot, the fans at home had different reactions.
The main reason is that the knife was so unexpected. Everyone thought the sharpest part of Himeno's death was the scene where she gave up everything on the spot.
But unexpectedly... in Aki Hayakawa's revenge, there is also an extremely sharp knife! It's like watching a horror movie. Generally, a ghost appears when the atmosphere is most terrifying.
Everyone is mentally prepared, so they might not be too scared.
But if it's a horror movie, the original atmosphere is peaceful and calm, and it seems the matter has been resolved! Suddenly, a ghost comes out and kills the movie's protagonists!
In the absence of any psychological defense, this, of course, scares people immensely.
And Himeno's cigarette also left the fans completely unaware. When they regained consciousness, they discovered they had been stabbed...
Uncomfortable... I can only say it was very uncomfortable.
This method of the knife... is truly unexpected...
In the manga, after Aki Hayakawa took the cigarette, he walked directly towards the Ghost Devil.
However, the Ghost Devil did not stop him at all and let him walk to the weak point behind it.
"What?" Sawatari Akane asked, bewildered.
"Senior Himeno told me..."
Aki Hayakawa looked at the Ghost Devil in front of him and remembered what Himeno had told him, "The Ghost Devil has no eyes, so it can only act by perceiving the opponent's fear."
So... as long as he has no fear in his heart.
Then, the Ghost Devil will not be able to see him.
As for fear... what else can he fear now? Is he afraid of being killed?
Anyway, he knows he won't live long.
So... now Aki Hayakawa is not afraid.
Aki Hayakawa approached the sea of daisies covering the Ghost Devil's body and stopped behind its neck.
He raised his weapon high and remembered Senior Himeno's smile as she leaned on the railing and looked at him.
"Senior Himeno..."
"I'll be with you soon."
Then, Aki Hayakawa brandished his weapon and cut off the Ghost Devil's huge head. Sawatari Akane watched the scene, a little stunned.
But soon, she extended her finger, wanting to summon the Snake Devil again.
"Big snake..."
But before she could summon it, Aki Hayakawa suddenly said, "Don't kill her."
At that moment, Sawatari Akane felt someone was behind her, and a blade was pressed against her neck.
It was... Koji Higashiyama.
However, Aki Hayakawa slowly approached and asked Koji Higashiyama with curiosity, "Koji, why are you still in Public Safety?".
Koji Higashiyama had always wanted to leave Public Safety.
After the collective attack on Public Safety Section 4, she should have submitted her resignation and left Public Safety.
But now she not only didn't leave, but she was on a very dangerous battlefield.
Faced with Koji Higashiyama's hesitant gaze, she said slowly, "Because... the bonus will be paid soon...".
"End of this episode."
However, the knife that was dealt in this episode did not end so quickly.
It was like a wound that shattered the fans.
And in Ren's apartment...
"Ren... you are really cruel."
Sakura wiped her tears and looked at Ren with red eyes.
Obviously, she had just seen the latest plot of Chainsaw Man.
"That's right...".
As a woman, Yuka also felt the same, and she said with red eyes.
Although she had already been hurt by this plot when she finished drawing this chapter last week, the after-effects of this plot still made her a little sad, even after almost a week.
