Chapitre 7: Chapter 7
"I want to inform you of crucial information for your training," explained Zeno calmly.
"I will return to the Zoldyck estate today so that my presence does not hinder you. You are supposed to fend for yourselves and I was only there for administrative formalities," he continued.
Hiro did not really believe Zeno's last words, because why would such a powerful man come just for administrative formalities?
"He could have just asked Illumi to take care of it, but strangely Zeno came in person. I think the interaction between Mother and I caused reactions within the family sooner than expected," thought Hiro with a slight bitter smile.
Even though he currently had a plan to turn this mistake into an advantage for himself, Hiro could only curse the high surveillance within the Zoldyck family.
"These people really do not know privacy."
As Hiro continued to curse his new family and their ways that did not respect privacy at all, Zeno went on to explain their current situation.
"Not only am I leaving today, but you will no longer receive subsidies from the Zoldyck family from now on."
"Of course, you still have the hotel food for now, but that will only last this year. So I would advise you to move up the floors of Heaven's Arena quickly to receive free housing within it," explained Zeno.
"That is all for now. You can return to the hotel on your own, we will see each other again when you reach the 200th floor," said Zeno as he left.
(Author's note: They must finish the 199th floor and reach the 200th floor, but they are not allowed to participate in that floor).
As Zeno walked away after explaining the situation to Hiro and Kilua's group, a strange, silent atmosphere reigned.
"Hey Hiro, so technically we're free to do whatever we want right?" asked Kilua as a strange smile began to form on his face.
"Yes I think so," replied Hiro, his eyes with the same glint as Kilua's.
The two began smiling at the same time without saying anything more and they started walking towards an unknown destination different from the direction of the hotel, it was as if words were unnecessary to express their current thoughts and emotions.
"Do you know what the young masters are thinking about?" Amane murmured to Canary.
"I have no idea, but I have never seen young master Hiro have such a strange expression before" said Canary a little worried.
=================================
Hiro's POV
"It was a long night," I said to no one in particular in my hotel room.
Kilua, our two servants and I went to many different places.
The reason was that Kilua wanted to see other children his age and if possible have fun playing various games with them.
But unfortunately for him, we were too different from the norm for him to make friends. We ended up getting excluded from various gaming groups.
I really hope he gets over it because he was very excited to socialize with other potential friends.
After taking a shower and relaxing, I had to think about the next demon I was going to contract today.
"I need to try to contract a practical demon who will also provide me with a powerful ability," I muttered.
But for now I have to figure out where I am in the Chainsaw Man universe timeline.
I lay on my bed in the most comfortable position for me like last time and focused to contact the Future Demon again.
"Can you hear me? It's me," I said, concentrating on our contract to see if it would also take endurance from me.
Strangely, contacting the Future Demon again does not consume anything from me.
"Why are you calling me again? You want to see further into the future ~" said a cheerful voice.
"No, not right now, but I wanted to know where you are currently," I asked calmly.
"And what do you plan to do with that information?" he retorted.
His voice no longer contained its usual frivolity, it was the same when he saw Aki's future.
"I need that information, that's all you need to know."
"Well, I'll tell you since you entertained me so magnificently since the beginning of our contract," said the Future Demon. "The humans in his world are interesting, especially his family. I have never seen humans with such an aura," he thought.
"I am currently locked up by humans in an unknown building, in a basement," he explained.
So he's already locked up, interesting. So it's possible the Chainsaw Man story will start in a few years but that remains an assumption since we don't know exactly when the Future Demon was captured.
"Thank you, I will contact you again to improve my ability."
"Excellent! And don't forget, the future is the best."
After ending the conversation with the Future Demon, I tried to contact a particular demon.
"Hello, can you hear me?" I said, hoping it would work and he wouldn't lose too much endurance.
"Who goes there? I warn you, I am the mighty blood demon, Power! So it will end badly for you!" shouted Power.
I couldn't help but smile broadly when I succeeded in contacting her, the blood demon.
"Hello Power, I'm Hiro and I'm currently in your mind. I want us to be able to cooperate," I said with a big smile.
"Who gave you permission to enter my head? Get out of here immediately!" Power growled.
"Calm down, I'm telling you I wanted to cooperate with you and possibly make a contract."
"Sorry but even if I wanted to, I couldn't make a contract with you since I currently control a human body. And what do you mean by cooperate?" asked Power.
She seems to want to cooperate, which would be the most logical solution in her place since an unknown individual is speaking in her mind.
I should have tried to blackmail or threaten the Future Demon during our first encounter, using the fear of the unknown that the situation necessarily arouses.
But it's too late now and he's smarter than Power anyway. So I doubt it would have been a walk in the park.
"By cooperating, I mean we exchange information about each other."
"If that's all it is, okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you Hiro," said Power.
"I will contact you on average once a day. And just to know, you're currently in a forest and you have a cat?" I asked.
If she really is in a forest with her cat, it means the bat demon will appear soon.
I have to prevent this meeting. I have to keep Power free so she can be my eyes and ears in the Chainsaw Man world.
"Yes I have a cat and yes I'm in the middle of the forest. I hope you didn't use any other weird powers on me," Power asked.
"Something like that. You just have to understand that I have a contract with the Future Demon and I advise you to change places or stay because you are going to meet two demons dangerous for you soon."
I could only explain a little about the bat demon and the demon hunter with Makima to her.
"I didn't understand everything but I'll do as you said and not stay here just in case."
After a few minutes of discussion, I broke off contact.
Not that I decided to do it but I no longer had the endurance to keep talking to her.
"It seems she recently met her cat and still feels a little lonely," I muttered.
This will be an important point for my future plans, especially since Power can prove very loyal if she really likes you.
Now let's see if I can get a good demon even though I have little hope of obtaining a demon as practical as the Future Demon.
"Hello, my name is Hiro and I am a human. May I ask who I have the honor of speaking to?"
"A human taking the initiative to contact me is a bit strange," said a calm voice.
"Can you introduce yourself?"
"Excuse me, I'm not used to human customs even though I deal with them. I am the Angel Demon but you can call me Angel as the villagers do."
Author's note: I'm informing you that there may or may not be a chapter on Sunday because I will be very busy but don't worry, this will not affect the usual chapter pace for next week.
