An and Subaru withdrew their feet and lazily sprawled on the sofa.
She had already transformed into Yukino Yukinoshita and rested for a while before starting to practice her acting in front of the mirror.
...
...
Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others have already taken swift and decisive action, while Kasugano Sora and Mimi Sarato's plan to send their husbands together has failed.
They had no choice but to join forces and find a girl who could gradually corrupt Light Yagami.
"Wakaba Mutsumi, Yue doesn't want you anymore. Your relationship with Kasugano Sora is over." Kasugano Sora approached Wakaba Mutsumi.
As the saying goes, the first to get the moon is the one near the water.
With just a few words, she convinced this girl, who had very low psychological defenses, that what she said was true.
".....No." Wakaba Mutsu's eyes were empty; she couldn't accept this fact.
This was also within Kasugano Sora's expectations.
She knew the personalities of most of her girlfriends from a month ago.
"So you need to take the initiative and make it a fait accompli! That way he'll take responsibility for you."
"Just touch it with your hand..."
After confirming that Wakaba Mutsumi would keep it a secret, Kasugano Sora released the hypnosis and told him again.
Chapter 88: We are Fire Packet Friends
The achievements of the past few days include the annihilation of the main members of more than 300 families.
To Light Yagami's surprise, they didn't resort to desperate measures. At most, they caused a small disturbance, which was quickly quelled by the remaining members of the family after their deaths.
Perhaps it's related to the fact that he destroyed the nuclear bombs.
Without specific information from him, these clever people will simply obey obediently, and may even actively pressure those who should be punished to take their place.
Just like how Toyokawa Shoko's father was expelled from the family.
I took a taxi to Rencai's house.
As soon as Light Yagami went upstairs, he was rushed into a girl's arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped up so that her legs were parallel to the ground.
This righteous monster becomes exceptionally cute after you start dating it.
"Yesterday, Subaru and I rode the suspended subway, browsed the boutiques in Naoyama, and had afternoon tea in Joël Robuchon..."
Almost all of them were high-end luxury goods imported from overseas. It was the first time Jing Qinrencai had ever heard of backpacks, shoulder bags, and handbags.
This includes the food, descriptions in French, and professional staff explaining the stories and background of the creations when you order.
"Get used to being in these kinds of places. With this card, you can use it at almost any of the larger stores in the Tokyo area."
Light Yagami pulled out an anonymous card, which he could use to make purchases at will, since the Yagami family owned shares in almost all of those stores.
In this world, many people live and die surrounded by businesses owned by powerful local families.
Jing Qinren carefully took the card, which was made of a material as clear as crystal, as if afraid of breaking it.
I never thought about what the world of the rich was like.
Only when I attended the occasions where Light Yagami was supposed to be, did I realize just how luxurious they were.
"You can visit other countries and enjoy state banquets as my concubine. I have 30 billion in my account, and I support facial recognition. Any celebrity or writer you like who wants to get to know me can call the butler, and she'll handle the arrangements..."
Light Yagami handed over the second card.
She didn't answer; Jing Qinren looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Some people say I'm after your money, but I don't want it."
"Would you like me if I didn't have so much wealth?"
It must be those posts and rumors circulating at school, right? Light Yagami wasn't surprised at all; the people he dated always attracted attention.
Old Wang's home is a popular spot for online influencers, let alone his own.
"I like Yue's songs, and I like Yue as a person." Izayoi's eyes were firm and unwavering.
"That's enough. Why care so much about what others think? You're living for yourself."
"But... it's too much, more than I could ever earn in my entire life." Jingqin Rencai was a little happy, but still kept her head down, unwilling to accept it.
"I want to become the person I want to be through my own efforts, not through my boyfriend's financial support, and that's what Momoka did too."
The card hovered in the air for a few seconds before being retrieved.
"That will be very difficult. You'll have to resist all kinds of temptations, and many people will try to curry favor with me through you," Light Yagami chuckled as he confirmed once again.
“What’s the difference between those opportunistic guys and those who remained silent, colluded with them, and covered up the truth? I won’t accept that.” Jingqin Rencai waved her little fist.
"I want to sing my own songs with Momoka, instead of changing myself to conform to the trend."
Before long, the thorns of the vine were on full display again.
Light Yagami just found it funny.
Commercial bands naturally try to please the audience, but they don't care if they want to sing and bring along a few other people.
"Free books are free for authors to write however they want, but paid books, with the goal of making money, naturally have to create selling points to cater to the audience."
"...That's just a lack of ability. Someone with outstanding talent can write their own story well and be loved by many people."
"But Diamond Star, who gave up their studies to debut in Tokyo, can only try to cater to the audience with their lukewarm reception."
Jingqin Rencai showed her little tiger teeth and said angrily, "Taoxiang's song is obviously very good. If we wait a little longer, everyone will definitely like it. Bowing to reality is just because this world is wrong."
"Capital uses their information channels to promote the bands they want to make famous in various places. Rich band members spend money to buy the top spots on music app charts and claim other people's works as their own, and then hold tours all over the country..." Light Yagami did not deny Nina.
When Tao Xiang was around, Zuan Chen was indeed quite good, but she was unwilling to bow down and come back to acknowledge her family. So, under the instructions of an elder in the family, the band was suppressed.
Renna was unaware of this; she only knew that Momoka didn't want to compromise with reality, but she never considered why Momoka, who was clearly quite popular, had to work day and night, and even nearly went bankrupt by selling twelve bottles of mineral water. (Drama excerpt)
Did the band waste those three years?
No, they were just suppressed.
"So I want to become a professional band with Momoka, defeat Diamond Dust, and then climb the Budokan with Ash," Nina Izayoi whispered to Light Yagami.
With his introduction, Red Ginger and the trio have joined forces to form an amateur band.
"Rely on yourself, right?"
"Yes, we want to perform at eight concert halls, just like Ku Lai Xi Ku."
"I am looking forward."
Light Yagami tested Nina's singing skills for a while, then went next door to spend some time with Misa Amane before deciding to leave.
He has to ensure that his public image remains unchanged.
Nina and Misa quickly became friends with him because of their unusual circumstances, which didn't align with his past behavior.
So they weren't taken to live at home or given a large house to move into.
As he passed by Wakaba Mutsu's room, Yagami Light hesitated for a moment. He hadn't yet explained what had happened that day to the girl.
Modifying common sense is a concept akin to changing the rules.
Influenced by this factor, he took it for granted that he would have sex with his ex, since Misa Amane could not satisfy him after he had been "exploited".
So much so that Wakaba Mutsumi helped to suck it out.
Behind the door, Wakaba Mutsu listened to the footsteps and saw a message from Amane Misa on her phone: "Tsuki is about to leave."
She pushed open the door and grabbed Light Yagami, who was about to leave.
"I want to make fire buns with Yue."
Having dared to use her own name when speaking, Wakaba Mutsu mustered her courage, wanting to get an answer.
In the past, Mutsumi Wakaba didn't know to use honorifics when speaking, and her tone was very sharp, which made her disliked by many people, including her parents. As a result, she learned to be taciturn, and even when she had to speak, she often avoided expressing her intentions in a way that was appropriate for her.
Light Yagami stopped in his tracks, his feelings a mix of emotions.
“We are friends.” Ruoye Mu repeated the reply he had given her a few days ago.
As long as he's still by my side, I'll be happy, even if he's just a friend.
Chapter 89: The Husband Behind the Wall
Toyokawa Shoko's father was an adopted son-in-law. He was very capable, and after taking over the Toyokawa family, his power swelled and his ambition grew.
He would take a fancy to any woman he fancied and want to have his way with her, especially if she was famous or someone else's wife. He felt even more thrilled if she didn't comply.
Minami Mori was forced to give birth to Mutsu Wakaba, and the fact that she was only a few years old when a blood test revealed that she was related to him.
From then on, Ruoye Mu lost the company of her parents and was arranged to study various courses until she grew up and was sent back to the Toyokawa family.
No one taught her how to conduct herself, and the other children in the Toyokawa family didn't want another illegitimate daughter in the family. Only Toyokawa Shoko believed that it was her father's fault, and as his daughter, she had a responsibility to atone for his sins.
Most people are born lacking love and the companionship of their father.
Having experienced love and then losing it, Wakaba Mutsu is different from them.
Light Yagami genuinely interacted with them; a year was enough time for Motoyo Nagasaki to shed her false self and cultivate her true self.
It was enough for Wakaba Mutsu to learn how to be human. She was taciturn and didn't have much inner monologue. She didn't want to sing out her inner cries like Takamatsu Akari, but she wanted to be human even more than Takamatsu Akari.
"How about we end this relationship?"
Light Yagami asked, but with a hint of pleading in his voice.
Ruo Yemu shook her head, gripping his sleeve even tighter, her pale golden eyes staring directly at Yagami Light, who was a head taller than her, a faint sadness on her face.
"Don't... leave me."
Just like last year, the green-haired girl gently pulled him, trying to win him back.
Light Yagami didn't want to continue hurting her.
There's no reason why someone who has saved another can be repeatedly hurt. Even without getting to know Wakaba Mutsu herself, some girl would still fall for her, befriend her, and mend her wounds.
"Being a 'fire-coated friend' doesn't align with the core socialist values. We should strive to be positive and progressive young people." Light Yagami lowered his head, denying their previous relationship with utmost seriousness.
"We're still friends. I'll visit you occasionally when I'm in the area."
That's what they say, but actually, Light Yagami had planned to manipulate the media to clear up Wakaba Mutsu's name before making her move out.
If you can't take responsibility, don't get involved with someone, and don't let them have any expectations. His grandmother didn't know many words, but she taught him the most basic principles of having a girlfriend.
Before she fell seriously ill, she told her grandson to take pictures of his girlfriend so she could see them soon.
"I don't believe you'll leave." Ruoye Mu's breathing became a little rapid.
This answer was almost identical to what Misa Amane and Sora Kasugano had told her, and she could even roughly guess what would happen next.
"Once you're cured, let's get back together, okay?"
"I already have enough girls around me. If I accept you, I won't have time to spend with them."
This is not an excuse. In the past, his relationships were mostly one-sided, with him making sacrifices and providing emotional value.
His current girlfriends have all helped him achieve his dreams, and he can't let them down, even if he has to be busy with his Kira role.
“We are friends of the fire... I will learn the skills of serving.”
"Don't be so humble, okay? I'll call Xiangzi to keep you company." Yagami Light tried to pull away, but Wakaba Mutsu grabbed him tightly, almost causing him to fall.
He stopped moving, and a fair hand touched him.
A small tent was pitched on the spot, and while Yagami Light was parched, Wakaba Mutsu hugged him tightly.
As his hands touched his bare skin, the sensations from his lower body surged through his mind under the influence of his superpowers, never ceasing.
Light Yagami pulled Mutsu Wakaba aside and closed the door.
He didn't want Misa Amane and Rina Iori to find out about this.
He already felt bad for Ruoye Mu, because he couldn't stay by her side, and he made her suffer from distress and infamy, and then she was disliked by them. In the end, he lost all his friends.
"Listen, you have a long road ahead of you. These past ten years are just the shortest segment of your journey. You won't stop moving forward after leaving me..."
Light Yagami suppressed his intense feelings and explained this principle to Mutsuka Wakaba, word by word, regardless of whether she listened or not.
He made no mention of being friends throughout the entire piece.
