"Wait, so you're actually the first devil hunter?"

"Yes, if that's all you have to ask me, I'm going now."

"Wait, wait, before you go, can I ask you something?"

"..Why not."

"Do you think that there's such a thing as the best devil hunter?"

".. No, there will never be a best devil hunter, devil hunter's will never be the best of humanity..."

"Then I'll be the first to be the best devil hunter ever."

"..Swear on your life then."

"What?"

"You said you would be the best devil hunter..then Swear on your life you will."

"..I swear on it, I swear on my life that I will be the best devil hunter."

"I need to go now. Stop getting in trouble. I won't always be there to save you from a devil."

"I'll be fine, I've survived this far."

"You're still a kid."

"I'll be fine, Qaunxi."

"..Alright, but stop  running into danger."

"But -"

"Promise me."

".. I promise you."

Quanxi finally woke up from her dream.. Almost sad she couldn't go back to sleep now.

Quanxi: ..Even when you're dead, I can't stop worrying about you..

She had gone through her routine in the morning.. Feeling like something was missing..

Once she finally was done, she put on her eyepatch, looking in the mirror at this..stranger in front of her.

As she met with the higher-ups, she couldn't care less what they told her. The only thing she was worried about is her girlfriend's corpses in their custody.

"Quanxi, it has come to our understanding that you had aided makima in trying to kill Japan's hero, chainsaw man, and because of that, the people of China have made you an enemy of theirs.. now, we have agreed not to kill you, but your girlfriend's corpses have been burned, and your dadao's and any other weapons besides your arrow have been confiscated, you are no longer an enemy of Japan, but we do not welcome you, do you understand. "
Quanxi: ... I do.

She wasn't very happy to learn what remains of her girlfriend had been burnt, but now they had nothing on her.
She would kill them all where they stood..buy then she'd have to fight kishibe, and right now, she isn't in the mood for another intense battle.

"Good, you can leave now. It is of consideration that you -"

She was already gone.

"..Do not cause any trouble."

She was at a graveyard, looking down at a grave, and put a flower on it.

Kishibe: I still don't understand why you come here every time you're in Japan.

Quanxi: It's because I still think about him, even when I don't want to.

Kishibe: It's been ten years, Quanxi.. I think it's time you -

Quanxi: If you say move on, I'll put you right next to him.

Kishibe: ..Alright, fine. I've got a special case on my hands, tho. I need your help.

Quanxi:.. Just say it.

Kishibe: A fiend and a hybrid are in the custody of public safety. I need them. My last plan went up in smoke because of the proclaimed "hero of japan.""

Quanxi: And you need my help.

Kishibe: Exactly.

Quanxi: No.

Kishibe: The fiend they have is a girl.

Quanxi: .. Go on.

Kishibe: The hybrid is an ex yakuza member, I need them both because a certain devil has been reappearing in China now.

Quanxi: ..Fine I'll help you.

Kishibe: It's not gonna be easy, but ok..

Quanxi: I need a distraction, so I don't care.

Kishibe: Yeah, I need you to break in.

Quanxi: ..No, this is just Tokyo again.

Kishibe: Tokyo was your fault, not mine.

Quanxi: Kyoto wasn't mine, but you blamed me for it.

Kishibe: You're the one who got distracted by the kimono dancers.

Quanxi: And I wasn't sober. Your point is useless.

Kishibe: This argument is pointless.

They finally got to where they kept devils.

"Hey, what's she doing here-"

Kishibe: Part of public safety, right, old friend.

Quanxi just looked at him but decided to go along with what he said.

Quanxi: Yeah.

"Oh..Alright then, are you 2 finally together then?"

Kishibe and Quanxi just stared at the man.

"Right right, you're a lesbian, and you had a kid.."

Quanxi: ..

Kishibe:.. What?

Quanxi: ... Let's just get this over with.

Quanxi had snapped the man's neck and hid his body within an instant.

Kishibe: Forgot how great you are at this.

Quanxi was one second away from saying fuck this and leaving..but she was a little interested in seeing where this was going.

Quanxi: Simp.

Kishibe: What the fuck is a simp.

Quanxi: I don't know and don't care.

They finally got out the fire fiend, that was replacing another fiend.

And the Katana Hybrid.

Kishibe: ..Kage Iruma.
