Chapter 200: Deep Down
This plot seems to have come to an end. The story of Aki Hayakawa and Himeno ended with the burning of the cigarette with "Easy revenge!" written on it.
The next time they meet again, they can only hope to meet in "Hell."
When Kenji Tanaka saw this part, he inexplicably felt like smoking a cigarette with Aki Hayakawa.
Although he never smokes.
But at that moment, he also had the idea of lighting a cigarette with Aki Hayakawa to commemorate Himeno.
Not only him, at that moment, some Chainsaw Man fans may smoke, and others may not.
They all lit a cigarette to mourn the good woman in the manga who dared to love and hate and was willing to sacrifice herself.
Although it is a virtual story and a virtual character, they are still willing to offer their own feelings for the character of Himeno.
"Forget about smoking."
Kenji Tanaka thought about it and decided not to smoke, but he turned on the computer and said, "But I can vote for Senior Himeno."
He went directly to the official website of Akatsuki Comics, intending to give the popularity and character votes of the week to Chainsaw Man and Himeno.
Upon entering, he discovered that the popularity of Chainsaw Man and Himeno was alarmingly high.
Even Chainsaw Man has temporarily surpassed Purple Air Coming from the East, the most popular work of all time, and has taken first place! Himeno's popularity this week was no surprise, as she remained in the top spot for the previous two weeks.
Even so, Kenji Tanaka did not hesitate at all and continued to vote for Chainsaw Man and Himeno.
Then, he began to review the posts and comments of netizens in the Chainsaw Man section of the official website.
"The story of Himeno and Aki Hayakawa... is so bitter it makes me want to cry."
"Senior Himeno, did you see? Not only Aki Hayakawa, but everyone else cried for you."
"This part makes me sad, so sad I want to smoke too."
"Please, have a smoke!"
"Please, have a smoke for Kobe!"
"Please, have a smoke for Shancheng!"
"Please, have a smoke for Jincheng!"
...
That night, the Republic's Tobacco Company returned to sales glory!
In addition to the netizens who smoked one for others, other netizens complained about the author Ren.
"Ren, you're very good at throwing knives! Every time I thought Senior Himeno was dead and there would be no more knives, I was instantly stabbed!"
"I'd like to call Ren the knife-throwing devil."
"I think he's a mentally ill devil, or a flying devil!"
"Ren, you're crazy! I'll never forgive you! Never!"
"Actually, I think it's okay. From the current point of view, Chainsaw Man can be considered a work in which Ren's condition has improved slightly."
"The above, you call it... an improvement in condition?"
"Yes, compared to Edgerunners and Fire Punch, Ren's condition seems to have improved a lot."
"I've seen Edgerunners... Chainsaw Man is much better, but I haven't seen Fire Punch. How is it?"
"You asked the right person. I highly recommend you watch Fire Punch! It will undoubtedly make you feel like you're in 'Alpaca'. I'm about to burn!"
"As one of the first victims who saw Fire Punch, I can only say... Use Fire Punch on those who suggest you watch Fire Punch!"
...
Kenji Tanaka saw the netizens' comments and agreed.
The old rogue Silverhand... It seems his condition has improved a lot.
Although Chainsaw Man is still very cruel, it took more than 20 episodes to start with the knife...
That's really moderate.
It's not like Edgerunners and Fire Punch, which cut people to death from the beginning!
But at that moment, as he scrolled the mouse, another comment appeared in his eyes:
"Wow! The old rogue Silverhand released two songs on the official page to commemorate Senior Himeno. I'm so angry!"
"Release songs?"
Kenji Tanaka was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that someone had rescued the animation music of Edgerunners before, and several of them were composed by Ren himself.
The promotional song "If the Voice Can't Remember," "Moonlight Romance," where David and Lucy kiss under the moon, and the sad widow's song "I Really Want To Stay At Your House."
But no one seemed to pay much attention to it.
He remembered that Ren had written another song and said it was in memory of Himeno...
He was very curious to know what those two songs were like.
So Kenji Tanaka returned to the official website and, indeed, found two videos.
The first was called "Deep Down."
He clicked on the video, and although it was a video, it was only the caricature of Himeno holding daisies in a sea of flowers.
The accompaniment slowly played, and then the song began:
"The lament of life, faded in the darkness…
If it melts, the leaves of words will also wither…
It's like sleeping deeply in that imperceptible dream…
Closing those eyes with red fingers…"
…
"Walking among the wandering crowd…
Without finding my destiny…
Losing one thing again…"
…
"Unable to understand, I want to understand…
Without picking up the tears I threw away again…
Unable to convey, unable to hear, longing for that voice to wake me and tell me it was just a joke…
Having forgotten what I lost, the shadow that lives in the hollow…
I don't know when it has been mocking me…
I feel you deep down, very deep, very deep…"
…
"Unable to separate, I want to separate…
This pain has not healed, but instead has traces of persistence…
The sound of the passing voice that cannot be traced, nor resonate, the heartbeat that sounds in my chest…
Swallowed by the sweetness and loss after obtaining the thing I prayed for...
How much time has passed?
I call you deep, deep, deep... Deep, deep,
deep, deep... ① ...
After singing a song, the lyrics were very mysterious, but they seemed to express Himeno's thoughts.
Although she knew that Aki Hayakawa didn't love her, she still gave everything without hesitation.
Just like the climax of the song.
Even if she gave the last cry of her life.
She still had to protect Aki Hayakawa!
The same unwavering, the same heroic and resolute! The singer's magnetic voice, along with the beautiful melody and brilliant lyrics, directly captivated Kenji Tanaka.
Not to mention the sentimental bond that united him "commemorating Himeno."
Kenji Tanaka even felt a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, he thought about it, muttering to himself, "Old rogue Silverhand... you really are... have you calculated all this a long time ago?".
At that moment, he suddenly thought of something and immediately opened another web page in the browser.
