Chainsaw Demon Pochi-chan!

"Everyone around me... is smiling... and caring about me... but I can't trust them..."

"I thought... I had gotten used to being alone... Gu... Haha..."

"So this is what true loneliness is like... I'm clearly in the middle of a crowd... but I can't even tell whether everyone's emotions are true or false..."

"No one can understand me... No one..."

"It's like all the noise in the world has nothing to do with me... It's like all the kindness I receive can't move me from the bottom of my heart... This feeling of loneliness!"

Makima's expression froze.

The more she listened to Goto's devastating confession, the more moved her expression became.

Because every word of Goto's words struck her heart.

At this moment, Makima only felt that it was not someone else talking to her, but her own voice!

She couldn't help but reach out and touch Goto's face.

This action caused Goto to pause slightly.

The pink-haired girl looked over in confusion, as if wondering why Makima would react like this after hearing such words.

However, to her surprise, Makima's expression also became complicated.

Makima bit her lip and looked seriously into Goto's eyes.

Her eyes, which usually seemed extremely deep, seemed to become more human at this moment than they had been every minute and every second before.

Makima said, "Pochi-chan, I understand."

"I can understand how you feel. This feeling of loneliness... I understand it so well!"

Chapter 100 Loneliness has changed ah ah ah

"You said... can you understand?" Goto's tears suddenly stopped.

"Yes." Makima said sincerely, "What Pochi-chan said just now, I almost thought it was a retelling of my own thoughts."

It was not until then that Goto suddenly realized.

Where does her anxiety and pain come from?

It was because after learning about the power of control, I could no longer distinguish true from false in everything around me.

But speaking of this...Hasn't Makima experienced much more than her?

Makima lived with this feeling of not being able to trust others every minute of her life on earth.

Because her ability is natural.

Therefore, Makima was born lonely, a loneliness that ordinary people cannot understand.

Goto seemed to be able to understand a little bit why Makima was so obsessed with the chainsaw demon.

Because the legendary chainsaw demon is invincible, the strongest being, but also an equally lonely one.

——It turns out that Makima... just wanted to find someone who spoke the same language as her.

——Even a powerful ruling demon has such a simple heart.

"Pochi-chan, do you want to hear my experience?" Makima said, "I think I have a say in this area."

"Well... tell me about it." Goto nodded.

Machima said: "In the beginning, I did worry about whether it was true or not, but after a long time, I gradually forgot about it."

"In fact, whether the feelings are true or not is not that important."

“Even humans wear masks when communicating with each other… Who can say that they are always communicating honestly from their heart?”

"Of course, this doesn't mean that pursuing authentic emotions is wrong."

“You can be happy because of real emotions, but you don’t have to be sad because of fake emotions...at least that’s what I think now.”

"So I am very grateful to you, Pochi-chan."

"Thank me?" Goto was stunned.

"Yeah." Makima hugged Goto gently, "Since I met you... I finally found this truth."

Goto was at a loss.

But after she thought about it for a moment, she understood what Makima meant.

——Because I’m the “Chainsaw Demon”…I’m her idol.

——When facing me, everything she showed was her true self, without any falsehood.

——Similarly, she also thinks that I treat her in this way.

Goto actually felt a little ashamed.

After all, Makima was sincere to her, but she hid a lot of things.

But...she still has to keep it secret.

Because their relationship itself is built on falsehood.

However, Goto finally figured it out.

So what if it's fake?

There are not so many real things. Instead of worrying about it, you might as well enjoy the existing emotions now.

Goto said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you...Makima."

"Eh? So my consolation worked?" Makima blinked. "Is Pochi-chan's mood getting a little better?"

"Yeah, I feel better."

"That's great. It's really my honor to be able to play my role and help you."

Goto didn't say anything else, just closed his eyes and felt Makima's warm embrace.

Makima was also happy about this and didn't let go.

The two of them hugged each other on the bed for more than ten minutes.

Goto then broke free from Makima's hands and climbed up from the bed.

“Uh…ha!”

She stood back on the ground and stretched lazily.

"Makima, thank you so much." Goto said again.

Makima sat up and tilted her head and said, "You've already thanked me once..."

"I just wanted to express how much I appreciate you." Goto turned around and smiled, "Thank you!"

Makima was stunned.

It seemed like this was the first time she saw Goto smile like this.

That kind of bright, cheerful smile doesn't seem like something that a socially anxious Pochi-chan would show, but rather something that a straight-A character like Kita would often have.

——Too dazzling…

Makima felt emotional.

However, this smile only lasted less than a second.

Goto's expression returned to normal, even becoming a little embarrassed, and he said, "Well, it turns out that I'm still not suitable for making this kind of expression."

"I feel so tired after just a short while, like I'm burned out... I still can't get up in the sun."

“But I really feel much better now.”

"I've been so upset these past few days, and I feel really sorry for everyone."

"Well, I need to go and apologize to everyone."

"Then I'll go first!"

Goto's steps became lighter and he opened the door and walked out.

Makima looked in the direction she left, was silent for a long time, and suddenly covered her chest with one hand.

——What is this feeling?

The former "Chainsaw Devil Pochi-chan" is, in Makima's eyes, an idol worth following.

Makima's feelings towards her are almost pure admiration, with at most a little bit of fanatical fanaticism, hoping to get closer to her idol.

But now she feels that this feeling is no longer pure.

It is no longer simply the worship of idols.

Something has changed.

……

That evening.

Hongxia was walking around the garden of the villa, but when she turned around, she was startled.

"Wow! Miss Makima, when did you come?" Hongxia said in surprise.

Makima smiled and said, "I just got here not long ago, because I saw you outside the window."

"What are you doing here alone?"

"It's just a walk. After all, the scenery here is so beautiful and the temperature today is also suitable... Even though I'm usually so lively, sometimes I want to be alone and quiet." Hong Xia said.

"Well, everyone has those moments."

Hong Xia nodded and said, "Yes, but it's great that Pochi-chan can return to normal today. Seeing her start to communicate with everyone again, I feel like a big stone in my heart has been lifted."

"It's the work of Miss Makima, right? I saw you go into her room, and I heard Pochi-chan crying."

"It seems that finding someone to vent to is also a good way to relieve the mood!"

"I guess so." Makima did not refuse, "But now I have to consider Pochi-chan's safety even more. Any unstable factors must be investigated."

"Yeah, that's right."

"So... you're not going to show up yet, sis?"

"Sister? Miss Makima, what are you talking about—"

Hongxia stopped talking halfway through.

Her eyes suddenly became empty, as if she had temporarily lost her soul.

The next moment, a smile appeared on Hong Xia's face. She tilted her head at a 45-degree angle and said, "Oh my, you are still as smart as ever."

"Unlike that little idiot Zhan Zheng, I've hinted at him so many times, but he still didn't notice me~"

Chapter 101 The Lonely Maid

Makima laughed and said, "War is indeed a person who is not good at using her brain."

"But you hid it really well. I was just guessing and testing it out. I didn't expect it to be you."

"How do you manage to possess a human without any demonic scent?"

Hong Xia shook her head and said, "Who told you that I was possessed by a human?"

"Aren't you... attached to Ichichi Hongxia's body now?" Makima frowned.

"No, I'm not possessed by her. I'm just using her body to talk to you. My real body is far away from here."

"how did you do that?"

"If I tell you everything, do I still have any dignity as a sister?"

"..."

"But don't worry, I'm not here to steal Pochi-chan from you, nor am I here to kill her. I'm simply looking for something interesting to do."

"So...if something interesting would happen if you hurt Pochi-chan, you would do it, right?"

"Well, it's hard to say. Anyway, I will try my best to remain neutral and not interfere in your affairs with the war. I will only take action when necessary."
