My Gender Bend Harem: Starting from Chainsaw Man

"Hello, Renji Kuroda, nice to meet you. You can call me Fami.""Hello, hello." Renji Kuroda replied casually, while carefully scrutinizing Fami, his face full of vigilance.

The Eternal Devil's head struggled continuously in Fami's arms, crying out hoarsely and painfully, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry...""Alright, alright, not hungry anymore, not hungry anymore."

Fami gently stroked the Eternal Devil's head, as if comforting a wronged child. Renji Kuroda noticed that when Fami touched the Eternal Devil's head, she kept her head slightly tilted the entire time. Furthermore, even when speaking, Fami's head was tilted.

In the original work, she was like this; whenever she appeared, no matter the environment, no matter the place, no matter what she said, her head was always tilted. Renji Kuroda thought to himself that this was not the Hunger Devil at all, but the Stiff Neck Devil.

Just then, the system's notification sound suddenly rang out:[Ding~ Detected Power's fear emotion, system rewards 10 points.]

Power also jumped down the elevator shaft from the seventh floor. The moment she saw Fami, her body began to tremble violently, her eyes filled with fear and unease, and she unconsciously retreated, moving away from Fami who stood at the end of the corridor."Hey bastard... why are you here...!"

Power's voice trembled slightly. She tried to mask her inner fear with a tough attitude, but it clearly wasn't very effective.

Hearing the sound, Fami finally noticed Power's presence and looked at her."Blood Devil? Oh~ it's you. Long time no see. The last time we met was in hell, right? Also, aren't you being a bit too familiar with your address for me?"

Power's expression instantly became complicated, and cold sweat continuously streamed down her face. She lowered her head, avoiding Fami's gaze, looking around frantically, and finally hid behind Renji Kuroda.

Clutching Renji Kuroda's shoulder, Power cautiously peeked her head out, only daring to secretly look at Fami.

"Hey! Who allowed you to get so close to Renji Kuroda! You're not Renji Kuroda's dog!"

Denji suddenly raised her hand in protest, her expression showing some dissatisfaction. Hayakawa Aki glanced at Denji indifferently, rolled his eyes, looking disdainful, and snorted."Renji Kuroda, do you know her? What's her background? Why is Power so afraid of her? Is she also a devil?"

Hayakawa Aki slowly approached Renji Kuroda, his gaze fixed on Fami, a string of questions pouring out.

At this moment, everyone present suddenly heard a "thud."They saw the Eternal Devil's head slip from Fami's arms and fall onto the soft carpet.

Fami paid no attention to it. She merely reached up to adjust the black hat on her head, then gazed deeply at Renji Kuroda once more without saying a word, turned, and walked away, her figure disappearing into the corridor.

Renji Kuroda didn't bother to answer Hayakawa Aki's questions, but quickly took off in pursuit, similarly turning and disappearing at the end of the corridor, arriving in the hotel building's spacious and brightly lit lobby.

However, the moment he stepped into the lobby, the sight before him instantly stunned him.

Fami's figure had vanished without a trace, and outside the lobby window, where there should have been a bustling street, there was now a space strikingly similar to the hotel lobby.

Even more shockingly, looking out through the windows of the hotel lobby, through the windows of the hotel lobby outside, it was still the hotel lobby, layer upon layer, endlessly.

Hayakawa Aki, Himeno, Denji, and the others also followed, and when they witnessed this strange sight, they all widened their eyes, mouths slightly agape, and were speechless for a moment.

"This... what's going on? How did the street outside disappear? Why is it also a hotel lobby outside? Are they connected?"Himeno's voice was filled with confusion, her gaze sweeping back and forth.

"Maybe... maybe it's just a reflection in the mirror... hahahaha..."Arai Hirokazu chuckled awkwardly, comforting herself. She walked forward nervously, reaching out to touch a mirror in the lobby. Her astonished face was clearly reflected in the mirror.

She had originally guessed that the scene outside might be an illusion caused by a mirror's reflection, but when she actually approached, she realized it was impossible.Leaving aside the angle issue, even if it were truly a mirror's reflection, it couldn't be such a perfectly identical copy-paste.

The only possibility was that the outside was also a real hotel lobby.Her face instantly turned pale, and she murmured to herself."It can't be a mirror reflection, that's too absurd. The light, the angle, none of it could create such an effect..."

"You all wait here for a moment, don't wander off. I'll go take a look."Renji Kuroda said to everyone, then walked over, opened the hotel door, and entered the hotel lobby on the other side.

Walking from the outside hotel lobby into the corridor, Renji Kuroda immediately saw the Eternal Devil's head in the corridor. The head was still in its original position, maintaining its original posture.

Sighing, Renji Kuroda turned around, walked out of the corridor, entered the hotel lobby, and saw the backs of the others.Hayakawa Aki and the others were still staring intently at the hotel lobby beyond the main door, waiting for Renji Kuroda's reply.

"I'm here."Renji Kuroda's voice came from behind them, and everyone froze, slowly turning around, their faces filled with disbelief.

Kobeni finally dropped her peace sign, her breathing quickening with fear.She dashed into the hotel lobby across the way, ran through the corridor, spotted the Eternal Devil's head, and finally came to Renji Kuroda's side.

Everyone stared in shock at Kobeni, who had appeared from behind."Seriously...?"

Hayakawa Aki couldn't believe it, so she too ran into the lobby across the way. But just as expected, she eventually emerged from the corridor behind Renji Kuroda.She was holding the Eternal Devil's head by one of its stubby legs beneath the chin.

The Eternal Devil's eyes were vacant, and it kept murmuring, "So hungry, so hungry."

Renji Kuroda instantly understood."Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder the Eternal Devil on the seventh floor seemed mindless, constantly yelling 'So hungry, so hungry' and charging forward. She must've already been under Fami's control back then. The original plan must've been disrupted, which is why Fami showed up to fix it."

He looked around and announced grimly, "Everyone, we're now imprisoned by the Eternal Devil—trapped in the lobby of this hotel building."

"Huh...? Wh-what does that mean?"Kobeni's face twisted with fear. Her body trembled, and her voice cracked with panic.

"We're trapped... trapped by the Eternal Devil? Are you saying... we're stuck here forever?"

"No, Kobeni! Don't say such hopeless things!"Arai Hirokazu snapped at her, though it was clear she was trying to convince herself more than anyone else.

Kobeni began to cry. Her fear of death overwhelmed her, and tears streamed from the corners of her eyes like snapped pearls. Snot flowed down freely, clinging to the tip of her nose. She looked pitiful and utterly unkempt.

Her hands flailed clumsily as she tried to wipe her face. Her chest heaved, and her breathing grew so labored she was nearly choking on it.

Such raw anguish. Renji Kuroda saw it.

He understood."B-but... didn't he already say it? That we... we're trapped by the Eternal Devil. I mean, the name itself—'Eternal'... doesn't it mean... forever?"

Arai Hirokazu's face gradually twisted with dread. For a long moment, she was completely silent.
