Renna stood there blankly, as if she now understood why her father hadn't stood by her side this time.
Throughout her elementary and junior high school years, every time Mingming stopped bullying, her father would tell her afterwards, "You did a great job. You can't just stand by and watch others being bullied."
“Fathers in East Asia are often too proud to tell the truth,” Light Yagami patted the bewildered Nina on the shoulder.
"Your father also had his reasons. His status as an educator only works in dealing with ordinary conflicts. Usually, the school cares about public opinion and will give your father some face. But if he offends a local powerful family, it's hard to say. That's why he tried to secure a guaranteed admission opportunity for you."
Chapter Twenty-Two: Misa Amane Wants to Cry But Has No Tears
Jingqin Rencai hurriedly bought a ticket to Kumamoto, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
"That child has a reflection of both you and me."
A hint of melancholy flickered in Kawara Momoka's eyes.
Are you worried that she'll move back home after reconciling with her family?
"Isn't this a good thing?"
It's definitely a good thing. For a girl who has been well protected by her family, returning to a warm harbor is much more interesting than living alone in Tokyo.
“Speaking of which, Haisa also came from the countryside, right? Does she have any relatives in the countryside?” Kawara Momoka thought of something and looked at the two who had been dating for a while.
"Misa? Misa has no home anymore. Where the moon is, that's my home." Misa, unaware of what was going on, had a happy smile on her face.
Kawara Momoka was somewhat lost in thought. She had seen a similar smile several times before. The girl next to her had wine-red pupils and star-like eyes... They hadn't ended up with Yagami Light.
"You bastard, don't break up with people again for no reason. You already have no family." He typed a string of messages on his phone with a fierce tone, but the broken screen made it impossible to see his rapid movements.
"That's definitely not going to happen." Light Yagami smiled awkwardly. His older cousin had been pursued by girls he had dumped several times.
Those heartbroken girls went to great lengths to win him back.
Momoka Kawara responded with a middle finger.
Light Yagami poked her middle finger with his middle finger.
I loved doing this when I was a child, and I still do now.
“Rin-na probably likes you. She actually knows that the bully’s family is not to be trifled with, so she didn’t fight back, thinking that she would get beaten up and then change her target.”
"But that method is too stupid. Knowing it's impossible, wouldn't it just hurt the people who care about you?" Light Yagami remained noncommittal. When he decided to use the Death Note, wasn't he the same way?
"After all, he is a child who has not experienced setbacks growing up. His father and mother are both here, and his sister cares about him a lot."
"Overall, I still have to thank her. It would be even better if she could come back. I couldn't have kept you here." Yagami Light stroked the cat's head, which had become increasingly robust from its previous sickly appearance.
Momoka Kawara had planned to go home last year. The cost of living in her hometown of Asahikawa was much lower than struggling in Kawasaki.
I just found a sick cat on the street, and I thought I'd take good care of her until she got to a certain age and I could find her a home.
"You're the one who set this cat on, aren't you?" Momoka Kawahara saw Light Yagami's shifty eyes and made a punch as if to throw one.
"It's not normal to encounter a cat on your way home from get off work. Logically, since it's incapable of moving, it should have been eliminated by the disposal center long ago."
This is how Japan treats stray cats.
"There's nothing we can do. If you go back to Asahikawa, we won't see each other much in this lifetime. People will drift apart if they don't interact for too long."
"It's like I wouldn't answer a video call." Despite having developed the Line app, Momoka Kawara muttered, "I only earn about 200,000 yen a month from my part-time job, and I'm going to spend tens of thousands of yen on this cat."
"But when I'm alone, she's there with me, so it's all worth it." She smiled with a sense of relief.
Having severed ties with her father and lost all her relatives on her mother's side, Momoka Kawahara, like an orphan, had nothing left but herself and her cat.
The copyright to the song she aspired to complete in her youth was sold, and her former teammates shone on the big screen. She had originally planned to return to her hometown and live a peaceful life, giving up the band. When she received the coin that had been produced for 17 years, Momoka Kawahara had a strange feeling that she had exchanged her song for the girl's life.
"At least she's not an orphan."
------
"Momoka seems to exude a story from head to toe."
Back next door, Misa Amane, who had been quietly listening to the siblings' conversation, couldn't help but sigh. As a country bumpkin, all she had ever seen was who got dumped and who got together with a certain guy.
After obtaining the Death Note and arriving in the big city, he immediately recognized Light Yagami as Kira from a recorded tennis match.
“It’s better to be simple like Hai Sha. Setbacks and hardships shouldn’t be compulsory courses in life. Stories are always full of twists and turns.”
Unable to resist poking Misa Amane's cheek, Light Yagami actually dislikes people who fall in love with him based solely on his appearance.
He needs Misa Amane, someone who would never betray him and would even be willing to give his life for her.
The Death Note is something that's more reliable to have in your own hands than to entrust it to anyone else. Perhaps someone who hates the rich might write his name on it that day, or perhaps an ordinary person might use it to make a fortune and then hide it somewhere. But none of these are as reliable as letting him handle it.
At least, he can punish everyone without mercy.
After reviewing CCTV footage from several streets near his home, Light Yagami fast-forwarded through the footage to analyze whether anyone was tracking him.
The driver in the afternoon was actually far away and noticed something amiss through the Eye of Death, but he acted very normally in order not to show anything unusual.
"Clang."
The iced tea was not held properly and fell onto the table.
Misa Amane paused in her note-taking, then looked up in confusion.
"It's alright, Hai Sha, you can continue."
"Should we include Toyokawa Shoko's father in the name?"
"We can't show favoritism to anyone. If the person who deserves to die isn't, it will only trigger their counter-investigation, making it easy for them to find fault with us." Yagami Light closed the webpage and unhesitatingly sentenced his former lover's father to death.
He believes that treating everyone the same, including his own family members, is the source of his confidence in punishing criminals in place of the law.
"Received!" Misa Amane wrote down the name with great enthusiasm, but felt a little bitter inside.
He had been keeping things about his ex-boyfriend from her.
It's obvious that he loves them more.
"It's not like you're the one who caused this situation by unleashing your superpowers," the system couldn't help but retort.
"Oh right," Misa Amane realized.
"But they're too scary. Misa only used one superpower, and now three of them have already slept with the moon."
"You can't imagine what a heavy-hearted girl, deeply in love, might do under the spotlight."
—PUA Goto Ichiri, using his extraordinary wisdom to get Kasugano Sora to help cover it up, planning to bring the child to her door in a while.
Light Yagami has learned the whole story through the surveillance footage.
Recalling the different feelings of exploitation, and knowing that three people were involved, Light Yagami didn't know how to deal with the somewhat obsessive and mad Nagasaki Motoyo.
The band "Bitterly Crying" has not disbanded, Toyokawa Shoko is still in the band, and Auntie no longer needs to work hard to earn money so that I can spend a lot of time with her.
He resolved the problems of each member of the band, left behind enough songs for them to sing for a lifetime, and left as a villain. Light Yagami believed that time would make this feeling fade away.
Was I not a villain thorough enough?
Light Yagami didn't know, but Motoyo Nagasaki couldn't get pregnant, so she had no reason to be so fixated on herself.
Life shouldn't stagnate just because you give up on someone.
Misa Amane was on the verge of tears. She had searched through all the information and found that the first person she chose, the socially awkward Goto Ichiri who was easy to control and had no family background, had become a tool for others to use.
Chapter 23: Anhe Mao wants her boyfriend to play the role.
"It's okay to sit a little closer. We're family. Even if something like this happens, we shouldn't be too distant."
Back home, Light Yagami, who was reading on the sofa, saw Sora Kasugano subtly shifting her position, trying to get closer to him, and said helplessly.
She was the one who did something wrong, yet I'm the one who's worrying about it.
Kasugano Sora tentatively took a few steps, her little bottom getting a little closer, about the distance of one person.
After sitting down, he just kept his head down, fiddling with his fingers, without saying a word.
The height chart drawn on the door when we moved in a year ago is still engraved on it.
This room holds many beautiful memories for the two of them.
Light Yagami's mind gradually drifted away from his books. They had matching pajamas, membership cards at a nearby supermarket, and a stockpile of discount coupons at home. The siblings, who had grown up together, were originally inseparable.
He enjoyed listening to Kasugano Sora talk about her little troubles as a girl and how she solved them with an adult's perspective. In his memory, that little girl who would stumble and fall while walking and needed help even to take a bath was now almost of marriageable age.
"What I said before was just said in anger. We're still family, and there's no reason for me to abandon you." Light Yagami patted the girl's head.
The habit developed from playing Sylvie often results in a head pat in real life that is quite different from the fantasy.
My head was covered by a warm palm. I first hunched my neck like a duck, and only when I realized that it was safe and secure did I slowly raise my head. Then I felt the touch of silvery white hair between my fingers.
"You'll stop caring about me after I grow up, right?" Kasugano Sora pouts. "We made a promise to go to Finland together, to the place where Mom grew up, to ride reindeer, see the Northern Lights, and go to the dog park..."
"I'll take you this year. I'm planning to study abroad for university. It's not safe abroad. You stay home and keep an eye on Ye Shenzhuangyu. You've been clamoring to be the older sister, haven't you? I'll give you that chance."
The girl's plans were interrupted; Light Yagami dislikes breaking promises.
"I will study hard and try my best to go to the same place as Yue."
“Just like in the hospital…” Kasugano Sora’s fighting spirit was ignited, but it was quickly extinguished by Yagami Light’s words.
"Studying hard won't help. It's not about grades. Just be a good girl and listen to me, okay?"
The girl lowered her head, her silver-white hair completely obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
Light Yagami got up and left; some things are better left unsaid.
Kasugano Sora, who used to be alone in the hospital, had nothing to do every day except study. Occasionally, when she went to school to check in, she heard from her classmates that as long as you have excellent grades, you can go to the same school for further education.
So when there was no reply to her message, Kasugano Sora would hold her book and read, taking notes diligently while waiting for a reply.
After dinner, Kasugano Sora dragged him to play video games.
More proactive than ever before.
It was as if they were trying to mend the invisible rift between the siblings.
“Rakastan sinua (I love you)”.
She was awkwardly testing the line that wouldn't offend her.
"What?" Light Yagami turned his head, feigning confusion.
This is the fourth confession in Finnish so far in the game.
"I'm talking to myself." Kasugano Sora was in charge of coloring the back, a coloring battle, while Yagami Light and Subaru had a teammate in front, vying for territory.
"Our home has been invaded! Charge! Charge!"
Pretending not to understand Finnish, Light Yagami is actually fluent in dozens of languages. In order to deal with police officers from various countries and those who report him, he only needs to deceive those around him first in order to deceive others.
The girl only knew a few words of Finnish, used for confessions and expressing her feelings; it's the most difficult language in the world.
It was Mrs. Lumi who taught her that name. In Finland, Lumi means snow, and many Finnish girls have this name.
As a very easy-to-learn shooting game, beginners only need to keep an eye on the ink on their backs, and collect it from the ground when it runs out.
After playing for a while, Kasugano Sora crossed her legs and habitually placed them on Yagami Light's lap. Seeing that Yagami Light only glanced at her and didn't say anything, she was secretly pleased.
Next time, I'll wear white stockings.
Remembering Yagami Light's preferences, Kasugano Sora felt a little resentful that she was only exposing her thighs, and she curled her toes in frustration.
After the game ended, Subaru called.
She usually uses the excuse that typing is too troublesome, and when she can't make a phone call, she sends a voice message to complain about things at school.
There are also the expectations of family members.
Light Yagami only saw her as a competitive high school girl.
The internet is vast, but this is the first time I've seen someone spend a week camping out in a game after being humiliated by him, just to get revenge.
"I knew Grandma's visit wasn't just to see me, I'm doomed, I'm going on a blind date now," Anhe Mao complained frantically on the other end of the phone.
"Didn't you arrange a marriage for your child?" Yagami Light asked, somewhat surprised. Girls with certain backgrounds like her almost always choose boys who have just reached the age of sexual consent and train them to be husbands. They are born to be wives.
After all, boys are too sought after. If you wait until you're eighteen, you won't even get a few sips of soup.
With too many bees, the male flowers wither much earlier than the female flowers.
"Grandma thought I'd become an actress, and that being a concubine wouldn't matter, didn't you know that?" Anhe Mao sighed a few times, then quickly realized, "You didn't listen to my voice messages before, did you?"
"Every time they send such long messages, I just convert them to text and read them directly. If there are occasional translation issues and I miss a message, is that my fault?"
The various functions of this era were not yet fully developed, and Light Yagami was helpless. He had many industries and plans that were more than ten years ahead of their time, but unfortunately, they were limited by basic technology.
