After lying on Rize’s lap for a while, Hayashi felt much more refreshed.
Their earlier conversation also made him feel that Rize had gotten a bit more normal. At least, their communication had improved. Her subconscious issues were still there, but they were working on it.
After a bit more chatting, Hayashi got up, stretched.
"Alright, Rize. Thanks for the lap pillow. I’d better go check downstairs."
Rize placed her hands politely on her knees. "Take care out there...

Makima giving someone a gift—
It was the first time anyone had ever seen such a thing. No one could believe it.
And naturally, her arrival caught the attention of the Anteiku crew too.
Touka Kirishima was mostly calm.
But Koma, Irimi, Yomo, and even Manager Yoshimura exchanged glances—there was a flash of caution in their eyes.
Makima was powerful. That much was obvious.
What was truly concerning—
Was that none of them could tell just how strong...

At the entrance of the Deep Night Diner—
After returning home, Hayashi parked the van with Tohru.
Looking around, the environment was mostly intact.
Only a thin layer of dust and scattered bits of debris from the earlier fight.
Tohru grabbed a broom.
“I’ll get it cleaned up.”
“Thanks.” Hayashi nodded, still carrying Pochita. “I’ll go wash him up.”
He walked into the courtyard and turned on the faucet.
Water gushed out—thankfu...

The Leech Devil probably never understood—
Why this particular devil charged in like a berserker, slashing and tearing from the start.
Did they have some deep personal grudge?
But Pochita didn’t respond—only kept cutting.
It could’ve spoken using devil language, but there was no point.
Every word would be a waste.
Moments later—
Under the Leech Devil’s stunned, utterly confused expression—
Its head was sliced clean off by Pochita...

Hayashi’s words left everyone utterly speechless.
At first, they had all assumed that when Hayashi said Pochita was his, he meant it was a partner devil or a summoned contract devil. At the very least, it had to be a cooperative relationship.
After all—it was a devil.
And they were from Division 4. Aki Hayakawa and Himeno had both formed contracts with devils.
They knew perfectly well what devils were like.
Every time they used a devil’s power, the...

Compared to the threat of the Leech Devil—
What Hayashi feared more was Division 4 and the Leech Devil fighting like idiots and smashing his shop in the process.
It was like not being afraid of Marvel heroes battling villains…
As long as it wasn’t your business.
But what if one of the superheroes grabbed the car you’re still paying off and chucked it at the villain—
missed—
and totaled it.
Then the insurance says “no coverage.”

After Hayashi’s little car disappeared down the road—
Himeno turned to the others and asked,
“How is it that a normal guy knows so much about us?”
They were from Special Division 4.
Makima was their direct superior.
And Makima reported directly to the Prime Minister’s Cabinet.
That meant, technically, their authority was even higher than the CCG’s on paper.
So how could an outsider know so much?
Aki thought for a moment, then shook his ...

A few bottles of cola later, the atmosphere among the group had settled nicely.
The new member Sasha seemed rather introverted and reserved, not quite warmed up to the group yet. Most of the time, she only responded if someone asked her a direct question.
Once the basic introductions were over, Leo rubbed his chin and announced the start of their first roundtable meeting.
“Since everyone’s here, let me go over something. In about three days...”

Sasha lowered her gaze and slowly sank into the single-seater armchair.
She sat exactly where Rogue had just been, but their auras couldn’t be more different—if Rogue was a tiger descending from the mountain, then Sasha was more like a fluffed-up kitten, moments away from hissing if provoked.
Leo didn’t hide his scrutiny, silently watching her as he waited for the hacker girl’s response.
The atmosphere in the booth stiffened.

These days, if you don’t have power, you get walked on everywhere. If only he had the strength of post-timeskip V the Thunderer, at the very least he could’ve scared Rogue a little—let her know he wasn’t someone to mess with.
Still, the outcome wasn’t bad. He’d achieved his current goal.

That damned déjà vu almost made him feel like he was losing his mind.
Forget it. Time to stop overthinking. It was time to call in the hacker girl.
Hopefully, she’d be satisfied with this meeting location.
He gestured for V and Jack to stay quiet, then his eyes lit up as he initiated the call.

Leo offered a polite closing remark and stood up.
Jack and V naturally had no objections and followed him toward the left.
Instead of heading through the small side door like in the original “plot,” Leo led them directly toward the main hallway.
Of course, his real goal was to observe the “colleagues” sitting in the open booths.

As expected.
Leo had looked up the Afterlife the night before and knew exactly what it took to get in.
To put it simply: if you were a client—with money to spend—you could walk right in after a quick check. The fixers and mercs inside were more than happy to cater to paying customers, for obvious reasons.

Delamain’s face appeared on the screen, reciting his usual advertisement.

With the battle still ongoing, as a commanding officer she couldn't abandon her post. For now, Feixiao had to set aside her plans to deal with Solon.
