Yagami Light hadn't encountered anyone as unpredictable as Yozora, and he seemed a little unaccustomed to it, only managing a sheepish smile.

“Miyamizu-san, actually, I don't mean anything by this, but I'd like to confirm one thing first.”

Yagami Light looked directly into Yozora's eyes, saying each word carefully.

“The rumors online, about the masked rider who killed all the armed kidnappers in the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten incident, was that you?”

At that moment, Yozora felt as if a branching option had popped up in front of him.

There was even a reminder in parentheses.

(Ding! Please choose carefully, this option will determine the future development of your relationship with Yagami Light)

Yagami Light's father, Yagami Soichiro, is the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Although Yagami Soichiro made a wise choice in the Onimaru Kunitsuna incident, providing assistance to me.

But, strictly speaking, the two of us are not Batman and Commissioner Gordon.

At least, not yet.

Anyone else, considering this relationship, would not tell Yagami Light the truth.

But for Yozora, this was practically a freebie.

“That's right, it was We who did it.”

Hearing his abstract self-reference, Yagami Light seemed a little dumbfounded.

But then, he smiled and extended his right hand.

“In that case, everything else is unimportant. You and I are both companions striving to change this increasingly decadent world.”

Yozora also returned the smile, shaking Yagami Light's hand.

At this moment, he was finally able to confirm.

Sitting in front of him was the Yagami Light who wanted to punish evil.

Not the Kira who wanted to become the god of the new world, destroying the principles he had set, and being misled by the voices of supporters.

Change this increasingly decadent world?

I don't have such a goal, I just did such a thing casually.

Although it was only their first meeting, Yagami Light felt that this young man named Miyamizu Mitsuha was the only person in this world who could understand him.

He believed that the other party was trustworthy.

After all, the other party knew his name, which meant that he had investigated him in advance.

Yagami Light guessed that the other party was not investigating him, but his father, Yagami Soichiro, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

Since they knew this relationship, how could a normal person pretend to be someone considered a criminal by the police?

This makes no sense at all.

The only explanation is that the other party is telling the truth.

In Yagami Light's eyes, Yozora's decision in the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten incident was not a crime at all.

But like himself, a punishment of justice against evil.

After awakening the ability to materialize the soul, Yagami Light had killed people.

And, had killed quite a few.

Those killed were all criminals in Tokyo.

For example, criminals with insufficient evidence to be judged.

For example, villains who were carrying out criminal acts in the dark corners of the city.

In Yagami Light's eyes, the main function of soul manifestation is not to fight against those evil spirits in Tokyo that do not have a great impact on human life.

But a silent punishment that leaves no traces.

Only the evil that needs to be punished will see, before death, that justice that is not recognized by the world, but only belongs to oneself, and that one believes in.

The head of the Four Great Vengeful Spirits, Emperor Sutoku.

Chapter 092: A Person Pursuing Justice, a New Member of the Overload Society

“Eh, brother?”

Yagami Sayu, who had returned from the bathroom, saw Yozora sitting next to her brother, with his hand on her brother's shoulder, looking very friendly, and couldn't help tilting her head in curiosity.

“So, you guys know each other?”

Yagami Light smiled, his tone very calm, showing superhuman, seamless acting skills.

“To say we know each other, we only just met. Didn't you want to wander around Kyoto? This person happens to be from Kyoto, so I shamelessly wanted to ask him.”

“Eh, so that's how it is.”

The innocent Yagami Sayu did not have the slightest suspicion.

She walked to the table, a girlish blush appearing on her face, and extended her slender little hand, smiling sweetly.

“Hello, my name is Yagami Sayu, I'm his sister.”

Yozora also returned the smile, reaching out and shaking Sayu's hand.

“Hello, my name is Itou Makoto.”

Yagami Light, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard this.

Wait.

Aren't you called Miyamizu Mitsuha?

How did you become Itou Makoto?

Yagami Sayu nodded, looking at Yozora's handsome face, a few shy expressions flashed in her eyes.

“Then… can I call you Makoto-nii?”

“No problem, just don't cut my head off.”

“Um…”

Yagami Sayu obviously couldn't understand such an abstract joke.

Her attention was actually focused on Yozora's appearance.

Although her brother, Yagami Light, is also tall and handsome, often receiving love letters at school.

But to be honest, with relatives like siblings, because they spend too much time together, they can't feel the charm of the other person.

Moreover.

In terms of appearance alone, Yagami Light is slightly inferior to Yozora.

“Then, Itou-kun.”

When saying the three words Itou-kun, Yagami Light's tone was obviously very meaningful.

He wasn't an idiot. At this point, of course, he understood that the Miyamizu Mitsuha that the other party had given him was not his real name.

As for Itou Makoto?

Yagami Light didn't think it was his real name either.

The other party…

Seems to be wary of himself.

Why?

Is the name important?

Is it because he doesn't want me to investigate the other party's identity through the name, to obtain more information, so he did this out of caution…

Or, as a fellow awakened with the ability to materialize the soul, does the other party know some kind of special ability that can be activated through the name?

According to Yagami Light's personality, he shouldn't rashly contact a stranger who has the ability to threaten him and knows the truth of the incident without any understanding.

But Yozora, as a transmigrator, understands Yagami Light's personality even better than Yagami Light himself.

Hidden beneath this perfect student's appearance is a heart that seeks excitement, likes to play games on the edge of life and death, almost like a gambler.

Yagami Light took out his phone. Even in this era where smartphones are everywhere, he was still using an old flip phone.

“Can I save your contact information?”

“No problem.”

Yozora replied with a smile, opened his phone, and exchanged phone numbers and mailing addresses with Yagami Light.

Whether it's a coincidence of fate, or the mutual attraction between spiritual power users.

In short, the two formed a connection in a very reasonable way that would not be suspected by anyone.

“You guys are chatting so happily when I'm not here?”

Hikitani Komachi, who had finished the phone call and informed her mother that she had found a suitable fighter candidate, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she saw Yozora sitting directly at the next table, chatting intimately with the Yagami siblings.

She thought that this guy's social skills were really strong enough.

In the time it took her to make a phone call, she was chatting with the guests at the next table.

“Hello.”

Although Yukinoshita Haruno had a smile on her face, she was, after all, the actual second-in-command of the Yukinoshita Construction Company, and the temperament she exuded made Yagami Sayu, who was still a junior high school student, inevitably feel a little nervous, and greeted her very restrainedly.

“I'm Yagami Sayu, nice to meet you, please give me your guidance in the future.”

“Don't be so nervous.”

When she heard the surname Yagami, a subtle look flashed in Haruno's eyes that was not easily detected, but the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she just stepped forward and gently patted Sayu's little head, softly saying.

“My name is Haruno, I'm this guy's…”

Speaking of which, Haruno tilted her head slightly, looking at Yozora with a smile that was not a smile, meaningfully saying.

“That's right, what kind of relationship are we now?”

Hearing this very meaningful sentence, like a line from a TV series, excitement and excitement appeared on Yagami Sayu's small face.

What kind of development is this?

Just like in the TV series she and her mother had watched, the heroine and the hero maintain an ambiguous relationship, and are finally about to take the step of breaking through the window paper?

She didn't expect to come out for morning tea and still have unexpected gains!

Yagami Sayu was silently eating melons.

Yagami Light usually wasn't interested in this kind of gossip, but if the object was Yozora, who also had the ability to materialize the soul and could understand his thoughts, then it was completely different.

Depending on the answer, he might be able to judge the other party's general personality.

Is it a cold and ruthless rejection?

Or a gentle response?

Or, is it shifting the topic, not wanting to face the left and right?

In Yagami Light's mind, more than a dozen choices that Yozora might make instantly appeared.

But the next sentence that the other party said was something he had never expected.

“Um…”

Yozora pondered slightly, as if counting something, and looked at Haruno sincerely.

“Although we have a substantial relationship, in terms of order, you can only be ranked fourth… Oh no, it's the fifth order.”

In the deafening silence, Yozora then smiled.

“Of course, you can also be considered one of the starting players who can often play, you just arrived in time.”

Not only Yagami Sayu, but even the always calm Yagami Light couldn't help but reveal a look of shock in his eyes.

Wait, buddy.

Are you playing this for real?
