Chainsaw Demon Pochi-chan!

Thinking of this, Goto looked at the demon corpse on the ground with disgust, then left with Bochita in his arms.

I don’t know what will happen if this body is discovered by others.

……

Click.

After a while, the door of the warehouse was opened.

A woman in a suit walked in, followed by a tall male bodyguard.

The woman had rosy red hair, which was braided at the back of her head.

Her golden eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to be imprinted with tree rings, instantly noticed the bat demon that was split into two halves.

"It really is a demon...After all these years, it has actually started to show up in the world again?"

The bodyguards behind her usually don't speak, they just stand behind her silently.

The woman was talking to herself and didn't care whether anyone responded.

She continued forward and came to the cross-section of the body.

After seeing the shape of the cross-section, the woman's eyes suddenly widened.

"Chainsaw..."

This style of cross section was definitely caused by a weapon such as a chainsaw.

The woman muttered something, but it seemed to have another meaning.

"Ms. Machima, we found a survivor." At this time, a voice came again from outside the warehouse.

The woman called Makima stood up and turned around, only to see another bodyguard bringing a blonde woman.

The bodyguard continued, "I found her about two blocks away. There was something wrong with this woman. She seemed to be hiding from something."

"When I asked, I heard her talk about 'monsters' and such. I guess they must have been witnesses of the devil."

"So I brought her here, please ask her in person."

Makima nodded and came over.

Seeing that the blonde woman was afraid, she said softly: "Don't be afraid, we are from the public security department. Can you tell me what happened?"

Makima's voice seemed to have magical power.

The blonde woman, who had been shivering just now, soon stopped and began to speak.

"My name is Ichichi Hoshika, and I'm the owner of a nearby performance studio called STARRY."

"Goto is a student who works part-time in my store. I was planning to give her a ride today, but I didn't expect that monster to suddenly appear on the way home..."

"Goto-san, in order to save me... wuwu... she must have been killed by a monster!"

"Don't worry," Makima soothed, "we didn't find any human bodies."

"Eh? Really?"

"Really? So this Goto-san is probably still alive."

"That's great!"

Makima had more on her mind.

——If no other human body is found, there are only two possibilities.

——Either it had been eaten and digested by the devil, or...she was the one who killed the devil.

Makima's eyes lit up with interest as she recalled the chainsaw cut she had just seen.

"Ms. Idichi, the matter of the devil is still kept secret from the public. I hope you won't spread it to anyone else." Makima warned.

"I, I understand. I won't tell anyone..."

"Can you tell me about that Goto-san?"

"Oh, okay." Xingge said, "Her full name is Goto Ichiri, she's a high school student, everyone usually calls her Pochi-chan..."

Chapter 8 Loneliness and Miss Makima

The next day, Goto got up, had breakfast, and was getting ready to go to school when his mother called him.

"Come to think of it... Yili, didn't you go out with your guitar yesterday? Why didn't you bring it back?"

The father who was sitting on the sofa also turned his head to look over and asked, "Yes, Ichiri has been carrying a guitar to school every day these days."

Goto's first reaction was relief.

——Carrying a big guitar to school every day is too conspicuous. Aren’t you curious about why I carry a bag recently?

——It’s better this way, no one will notice Bochita’s existence.

"The guitar... was temporarily stored at the performance room yesterday." Goto replied.

"Performance room?" Mom blinked.

"Well, I haven't told you yet... Actually, I recently formed a band with someone."

"Oh? Really?" The father suddenly became excited. "Oh, I knew music could bring people together. Has Yili finally met a like-minded partner?"

Goto's father is an old rock musician, and the guitar Goto is using now is also his father's old guitar.

So it's normal for him to react like this.

"Yili...um, the people you mentioned forming a band, are they really not just your fantasy or something?" Mom said with some concern.

"It's true!" Goto said.

"I see. Ichiri finally made a friend. Mom is so happy."

Goto's family is well aware of his social phobia.

Even her five-year-old sister, Goto Jiri, is more sociable than her, so it’s no wonder that her family is worried about her condition.

Now Goto has finally made friends, which is definitely a comfort to them.

"I've been coming home late lately because... I'm working part-time at the performance studio," Goto explained.

"Oh, so what do you do to help out in the store?" Mom asked.

"Some simple reception work, or something..."

"Huh? Can you actually receive strangers?"

"I'm still... trying to adjust."

The father smiled and said, "Come on, Yili, mom and I will be cheering for you from behind!"

"Yeah." Goto nodded quickly.

She felt warm in her heart because of her parents' care.

After saying his final goodbyes, Goto prepared to leave.

ding dong~

But just then, the doorbell rang.

"Who could it be so early in the morning?" Mom looked over in confusion.

She walked to the door and asked using the intercom at the door: "Excuse me..."

"Ms. Goto, good morning." A vague female voice came in, "I'm from the Public Security Bureau."

"Public security?" Mom frowned. "Did something happen nearby?"

"No, everything is fine. I'm just visiting alone. Could you please open the door?"

"Ah, okay."

Mom said as she unlocked the door.

Goto couldn't help but look over curiously, and saw that the door was opened. A tall woman was standing outside the door, which instantly caught her attention.

——This is... too beautiful!

"Hello, Ms. Goto." The woman outside the door smiled politely, "I am Makima from the Public Security Special Operations Section 4."

Mom said, "It's Miss Makima. I wonder why you came to visit us today?"

"It's like this..." Makima hesitated and said, "Goto Ichiri, is this your child?"

"Yili is my daughter, what's wrong?"

"It seems I have found the right place. I have something I want to discuss with your daughter. Can you let me in?"

"Then... please come in."

Just like that, Makima walked in.

Mom looked at Goto with a questioning look.

That look seemed to be saying: Have you gotten into trouble? Why would the police come to see you?

Goto was also confused and watched Makima walk towards him step by step.

This woman did not give people any sense of oppression, but instead had an inexplicable affinity.

"You are Miss Goto Ichiri, right?" asked Makima.

"Uh...I am."

"I want to talk to you about last night."

"Eh?"

Goto was startled for a moment, then he understood.

Probably referring to something demonic.

"Take me to your room and we can talk alone." Makima smiled again.

"Yeah, um... okay."

Goto lowered his head, unable to refuse.

To be on the safe side, she did not put down the bag containing Bochita, and was followed by Makima up the stairs and into her room.

This was the first time Goto allowed someone other than his family into the room.

She also didn't expect that the first outsider who stepped into her room would be a mature woman she met for the first time.

As soon as Makima entered the room, she closed the door tightly and said, "Pochi-chan."

Goto's whole body tensed up.

She turned around timidly and saw Makima's deep golden eyes staring at her.

"Let me be frank. You killed the bat demon last night, right?" Makima said.

"what……"

Goto's heartbeat quickened and he panicked.

She just thought that Makima would ask her some questions, but she never expected that the other party would directly confirm that she was the one who killed the devil.

——To be precise, the bat demon was killed by Bochita.

——Well, but that’s not the point. How did she know?

——By the way...did she just call me "Pochi-chan"?

Goto calmed himself down and asked, "You... knew me through the store manager, right?"

"Well, she's very smart." Makima smiled. "After all, she is a survivor of yesterday's incident. We found you quickly based on the information she provided."

"I do not know anything……"

"You killed the bat demon, didn't you?"

Makima repeated it again, but this time it was not a question, but a complete affirmation.

"No..." Goto shook his head in denial.

——If I were really treated as someone who killed a devil, how would I be treated?
