Misa Amane, favored by both the Grim Reaper and the system, doesn't care about the world; all she wants is to date and play house with Light Yagami.
“Everything has risks. It’s a pity we can’t create an alibi, but that’s no reason to hesitate. I’ll make arrangements for Goto Ichiri. The Yagami family is in charge of security checks, and I’ll assign trustworthy people to them.”
Light Yagami looked out the window, where countless lights illuminated the city, and he wondered how many people had erected Kira's name plaques.
He didn't notice the gleam in Misa Amane's eyes when she heard about the alibi.
Chapter Sixty-Six: Uncovering the Scars
"Misa, Rem told you, right? The Shinigami World can observe humans from many worlds."
Turning his head, Light Yagami looked tenderly at Misa Amane.
Having lived two lives, he had never been loved so deeply. At first, he hated her—but after making up his mind, he devoted himself to living for that purpose and was willing to sacrifice everything.
Both humble and domineering.
But when he was fighting against the world, in his loneliest and most cold-blooded moment, Misa Amane appeared in his life.
From then on, I had a companion, and I was no longer alone on my journey.
And there's no need to worry about betrayal.
[Affection +1, current affection level 53/100.]
Misa Amane nodded, looking at Rem behind her with her huge, flapping wings.
“Ryuk told me about a world he observed, where there was a country that practiced monogamy. A hundred years ago, that country overthrew the corrupt and closed feudal rule. Patriots fought to save the nation and resist foreign invaders. Waves of people went to the battlefield with a fearless belief in fighting to establish a country where everyone is equal, and they shed their blood for the youth to come…”
Light Yagami observed his past life as Ryuk.
As the Shinigami Realm of the Middle Thousand Worlds, it connects with many smaller worlds.
"Every child born in that country grows up with love. War films from a century ago are love letters they wrote to the newborn children in their new country."
"Being surrounded by love from birth, how wonderful that must be," Misa Amane exclaimed, even more moved than when she learned that a Shinigami had died because of her. She couldn't imagine such greatness, but she could feel how grateful the children born in the new country would be to their ancestors after experiencing all of this.
"What I want to tell you is the story of a left-behind child born in 2006, which I observed."
He never revealed his past, not even mentioning the night he lay with Kasumigaoka Utaha.
For the first time in his life, Light Yagami intends to expose his scars to his girlfriend. There are many intimate behaviors between lovers: eating out, dating, embracing, close physical contact... Shedding tears for each other, exposing their ugliest selves, and letting their inner wounds tell them that this is the most intimate.
"What are left-behind children?" Misa Amane was unfamiliar with the term, as different world cultures have different meanings.
"It means that the adults go to work far away from home, and the children are left at home to be taken care of by the elderly."
Light Yagami didn't explain much. In Japan, most single mothers work nearby and return home at night, where their grandmothers take care of the children.
“That boy grew up under the care of his grandmother. His father worked on construction sites and lived in a rented room. He would only come back for holidays. His mother ran away shortly after he was born. Because he had a cleft lip, she paid a dowry of 38.8 yuan, but his father didn’t get a penny back and didn’t have the money to remarry. When she came back, she would always take her anger out on him. At this time, his grandmother would protect her grandson… This kind of life continued until the boy was admitted to university. He started working summer jobs to earn money to support his family, tutor others, and save up for his university tuition and treatment.”
Misa Amane didn't quite understand why boys also had to go out to work. After thinking about it, she felt it was only reasonable in a world where the male-to-female ratio was 1:1. She held her face in her hands, looking distressed. Cleft lip is a congenital disease, and children born in such an environment are even more unfortunate.
“The boy attended university for one semester when his grandmother was diagnosed with a brain tumor. His father used the money he had saved to build a house for the surgery, but they were still short 300,000 yuan. They started raising money on crowdfunding apps, and the boy also asked his classmates to forward the link to ask wealthy people he knew for help.”
“Many kind people have helped to raise the funds, but out of the 300,000 yuan, only 150,000 yuan actually came into their hands. The grandmother said she didn’t want to continue treatment and told the father and son to keep the money. The father went to the APP staff to argue with them. Later, the boy found out that the family who hired the tutor had actually donated 200,000 yuan directly, but they didn’t know where it went.”
Light Yagami paused here, remaining silent for a long time.
"It's probably been embezzled, just like the foundation, someone reached in and pocketed the money." Misa Amane guessed uncertainly. As Kira, she also knew some of the ways that Japanese politicians embezzled money.
"Who knows? Before they could give an answer, Grandma had already passed away. Before she died, she wanted to see her grandson one last time. The boy hurriedly asked for leave and bought a ticket home. He bought the cheapest standing ticket and video-chatted with his grandma on the way... At that time, the train passed through fields and there was not much signal. He was using a very cheap phone, and the video call was cut off. It was more than ten minutes later when the call was reconnected. Grandma had passed away. At the funeral, my father said that Grandma called his nickname before she died."
Feeling a lump in his throat, Light Yagami wiped away his tears, and when he looked up again, he was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"Don't be sad, I will support Yue in changing the world."
Misfortune is happening in every corner. As Kira, Misa Amane deals with human suffering every day and knows countless tragic lives.
She didn't know this was Light Yagami's past life; she simply used her sleeve to wipe her boyfriend's tears, her small hand covering Light Yagami's large hand.
Let your feelings be conveyed through warmth.
"The caste system has resurfaced on this land. Those who believe they have extraordinary genes flowing in their blood are incapable of empathizing with the people at the bottom. They don't know how many families will be affected by every penny they embezzle and every crime they cover up."
Leaning on Misa Amane's shoulder, Light Yagami released his long-suppressed emotions with tears. Apart from crying in the first few months after he was born, this was the first time he had cried like this.
“This time I’ve gathered all my people, and I’m determined to break ties with them. I won’t give them any chance to bend the law or bend the rules. At worst, I’ll be like Huang Chao and write the family history down.”
"This is my only chance. Once they realize that I can manipulate people's hearts, they will definitely fight to the end and will not give me a chance to control tens of thousands of people."
Common sense cannot be modified through audio and video recordings; otherwise, Light Yagami wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
"Misa understands. Misa will try her best to help last month." Misa and he held hands tightly.
Light Yagami has analyzed many things in the past, including the worst-case scenario of a cornered dog resorting to desperate measures.
Enabling global oversight to cease favoritism means that a large number of these powerful and privileged families will die.
Cutting off their livelihood means that the search for Kira will be intensified, and the Yagami family, who are in charge in Tokyo, will definitely be targeted.
Misa Amane felt heavy-hearted.
In the past, when Light Yagami was sleeping, someone was also put on trial, which was enough to clear him of suspicion. After all, no one would have thought that this was not a puberty syndrome, but the Death Note.
Based on experience, those families could wait a few years until Kira lost his ability to judge people.
But that won't work now; we have to create their alibis.
【Love Value 63/100】Misa Amane glanced at the data and made up her mind.
Chapter 67: An and Subaru pulled out their Spark Lens
I now have two superpowers.
One involves exchanging bodies, the other involves identity replacement.
If someone replaces Kasumigaoka Utaha, and someone else swaps bodies with Tsuki, would that achieve the goal?
They stayed out dating while the other two went to revise common sense, thus reducing the risk.
However... we still need to find someone close to Light Yagami who might have such thoughts and grant them superpowers.
"Misa Amane, are you sending your husband away again?" the system suddenly blurted out.
Misa Amane squatted on the balcony of Yagami's house, feeding the little grass turtle green plants.
Rio Futaba's experiment happened to involve a grass turtle, and she always felt like it was green on her head.
—To make a living, you have to wear a green hat.
"What about Nina? She's flat-chested and has no butt. Even if she gained superpowers, Light Yagami wouldn't be interested in her. Besides, she probably wants to switch bodies with you, right?"
“As for An and Subaru, they are suitable for taking over the role. Isn’t she going to be an actress? This profession always requires being away from home, with little time spent together. And having the idea of playing a role can also be explained.”
The system, like a doting mother, worried about Misa Amane's plan to find a husband, staying by the silly girl's side almost around the clock, hoping that its host could be happy.
"Thank you, System Sister." Misa Amane's eyes lit up. If that were the case, there was indeed great potential.
But doesn't that mean they should let their boyfriends seduce them?
On second thought, Misa Amane felt a pang of grief and indignation, but she still took the initiative to choose two candidates.
------
"If you had superpowers and could choose someone to be, and others would believe it, what would you do?"
After the Splatoon game ended, An and Subaru suddenly sent a message.
"I will ask around, just like you."
Light Yagami typed quickly, then suddenly paused.
Wait, could she have also triggered puberty syndrome?
Not everyone needs to have strong feelings because they love someone they can't have. After regaining his common sense, Light Yagami felt ashamed of his previous thoughts.
"Honestly, it's practically like puberty syndrome," An and Subaru typed rapidly.
She hasn't tried the specific usage yet, and this is the only person she can trust, since Kira is also a patient with syndrome.
"It's not just similar, it's a syndrome."
Half a minute later, Light Yagami arrived at Anwa's house.
“I have already deleted the message history from Line’s data center. Don’t discuss this kind of thing on the software. It’s best to block all electronic devices... and even be careful of probes around you.”
Light Yagami, who is very skilled at anti-surveillance investigations, has experienced many pursuits. When he was in Shuchiin, he was pursued by Ai Hayasaka. When he grew up a little, he faced various obsessive women and the entanglement of his ex. When he was Kira, he faced various agents.
"That's terrifying. I'm just a regular high school girl. Please don't shatter my worldview." Anwa Subaru shrank back on the sofa.
"You talk like you're a high school student." Light Yagami sat to the side, sniffed the air without any politeness, and his pupils contracted.
"Has Nagasaki Motoyo been here before? She likes to use this brand of shower gel."
"How could they have discovered that?" An and Subaru were taken aback.
“You basically don’t bring people home, there are only a few people who might, and you use Sakura brand shower gel.” Yagami Light picked up a long hair from the sofa and examined it carefully.
Even their hair color is different.
"Where did this famous detective come from..." An and Subaru, seeing that their scheme had been exposed, frankly revealed the truth.
"Ignore that woman, she's stupid." Light Yagami frowned, not wanting to get involved.
"So why don't you get back together?" An and Subaru buried their heads in the pillow, creating a V-shaped silhouette.
"It's not easy for me to tell you this."
Light Yagami changed the subject and started talking about the strange things about her.
"Does it require seeing the person in person for it to be effective? What will others think of that person afterwards? If a video is used, can anything unusual be detected? Can different ages be chosen for the same person?"
"Slow down, slow down, you're thinking too much," An and Subaru called out repeatedly.
Nothing happened; in Yagami Light's eyes, An and Subaru suddenly transformed into his appearance.
An and Subaru picked up their phones and made a video call. Light Yagami answered, and his own face appeared on the screen.
Two identical faces stared at each other in the phone camera's lens. Light Yagami couldn't help but laugh out loud, and An and Subaru covered their mouths as well. However, it was his face that was in the lens, which looked very strange.
The two put down their phones, looked at each other, and smiled. An and Subaru burst into laughter, almost unable to catch their breath.
Light Yagami was greatly surprised. If he hadn't known about this ability beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to distinguish it from the appearance and voice at all.
"Why don't you try doing some really incongruous things in my appearance?"
"For example, like this?" Anhe Subaru raised his pinky finger, looking charming and alluring, and even gave a few flirty glances.
"..." Light Yagami really wanted to curse.
"It seems that when you do something out of place, outsiders will still notice that something is wrong."
"Why do you look so disappointed?" An and Subaru looked down at their clothes. "Have I become your clothes now?"
"Hmm, it's exactly the same as the one I have." Light Yagami glanced at it, then seemed to realize something.
"Take a look at your underwear, isn't it blue with Doraemon on it?"
“You’re still wearing this…” Anhe Subaru realized his intention and turned to lift it up to take a look.
"It's really blue."
She turned around and found that Light Yagami had moved much closer, looking anxious.
"What do you want to do? At the very least, you need to have a real relationship first!"
Instinctively, she picked up a cushion to block him, but An and Subaru popped their heads out from behind her.
But when I looked down and saw the blue shorts, I realized that I was still seeing his face.
"Boys can't be this close to each other either," she explained, her face flushed. She had never been this close to a boy before.
Especially someone as handsome as him.
"What are you thinking about? Your voice is giving me goosebumps. I just want to see for myself, to see the difference between what I see and what I feel."
Light Yagami clicked his tongue a few times.
He's like a male succubus; if a girl doesn't fall in love with him after spending a short time with him, she's practically a god.
"The visual effect and the psychological effect are certain, but we still need to try it out ourselves, and it would be best if I did it."
"Wait...can't I do it myself?" An and Subaru tilted their heads cutely. If any other boy had said that, she would have been slapped.
"You can try, but I have some concerns—"
"Wait, what the hell is going on?" Before Light Yagami could finish speaking, he saw An and Subaru pull a Spark Lens out of their pockets.
