“But if that’s the case… doesn’t that either mean that the attack from that world wasn't the reason you obtained ‘The Fool,’ or that… although the Light Yagami of that world is already dead and that world is completely destroyed, and our Yagami-kun here obtained ‘The World,’ this disaster… hasn’t been completely resolved yet…?”

“If it’s the former possibility, it means that we will face even more difficult disasters next. If it’s the latter possibility, according to what Yozora-kun usually says, in the hero’s game of saving the world, the enemies the protagonist encounters will definitely become stronger and stronger.”

“Either way, it's not good news…”

“Yukino-chan, don’t think about those things right now.”

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino looking worried, Yuigahama Yui, although so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes, still forced herself to stand up, put her arm around the other’s shoulder, and smiled sweetly.

“At the very least, there are no crises that we need to solve at this stage. As for the future, let’s talk about it when the future comes. Our Overload Club is the strongest. Right now, there’s only one thing we need to worry about, and that’s where to hold the celebration party!”

Just as Yuigahama Yui said these words, a familiar voice filled with laughter spoke.

“Then I’ll foot the bill for the celebration party.”

“Eh? Onee-san?”

Seeing Yukinoshita Yangino wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, her hair messy, looking like a shut-in, completely lacking her usual shrewd and capable image, and appearing somewhat lazy, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but be taken aback.

“Onee-san, why are you here too?”

“What? Did I come at a bad time?”

Hearing Yangino’s smiling retort, Yozora-kun immediately replied as if he had triggered a passive skill.

“No, you came at the perfect time.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, don’t think you can easily coax me this time.”

Yukinoshita Yangino frowned slightly, looking unhappy, walked forward, and poked Yozora-kun’s shoulder with her index finger.

“You, you actually took Yukino to that dangerous other world? And you didn’t even take me! Do you know how I spent these five days? I was constantly worried about you, but I didn’t have any way to contact you. I couldn’t even sleep well. If it weren’t for Haimu and the others being with me, I feel like I would have gone crazy. I’m also a psychic, why didn’t you take me?”

“Onee-san, it’s not that we didn’t want to take you.”

Yukinoshita Yukino walked up to Yangino and said softly.

“But… you’re too weak.”

“I’m too weak? Oh, is that so?”

Feeling the somewhat tense atmosphere between the Yukinoshita sisters, the other members immediately fell silent. The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat tense.

After nearly five seconds, Yangino and Yukino laughed at the same time.

“You’re really something now.”

Yangino reached out and rubbed Yukino’s cheek, teasing her with a smile.

“Okay, okay, my strength is too weak, I’ll hold you back. It’s my own fault for not working hard enough, okay?”

“It’s good that you know.”

A rare smile appeared on Yukinoshita Yukino’s face.

From a young age, she had always felt an invisible pressure because her older sister Yangino was too talented.

But now, the roles have finally been reversed.

“But I’m really not interested in this kind of thing.”

Yukinoshita Yangino stretched out her long body and yawned.

“You’re finally back safe and sound. Now I can rest assured. You should need to rest, right?”

“Yeah, I’m exhausted.”

“Onee-san, let me tell you, the world we went to…”

“Haimu, during the time I was away, have you decided on the next character you want to cosplay?”

“Hizuru, Suzuha, Kaguya, why don’t you sleep here with us? Anyway, there are still many empty rooms. When you wake up tonight, let’s go to the celebration party together.”

Hearing Yuigahama Yui’s invitation to Minamikata Hizuru, Amane Suzuha, and Shinomoya Kaguya, who originally didn’t live in the apartment building, Yozora-kun looked at Light Yagami and L. Under Light Yagami’s slightly expectant gaze, he slowly opened his mouth.

“You two, go find a place to sleep outside yourself.”

L rubbed his messy black hair and said lazily.

“Captain, you’re really heartless.”

“This apartment building prohibits male copper.”

… …

After Light Yagami and L left, and the other members also went upstairs to their rooms to rest, Yotsuya Miko noticed that Yozora-kun didn’t seem to be planning to go back to his room. So, she walked over and sat next to him, and softly opened her mouth.

“What’s wrong? Still not tired?”

“I really enjoyed myself this time.”

Yozora-kun leaned lazily on the sofa, and wisps of steam-like white smoke rose from the severed part of his left arm.

“I’m just thinking, now that you and Light have both obtained ‘The World’ card, who will be the next to complete the journey of rebirth and awaken as ‘The World’?”

“I don’t know.”

Yotsuya Miko shook her head, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and took a sip. Since meeting Futaba Rio and becoming friends with her, she, who originally didn’t like drinking black coffee, had gradually become accustomed to this sobering, bitter taste.

“I’m not too interested in these things either. I only know that after obtaining ‘The World’ card, and Hyakume completed his evolution, I have a stronger power to eliminate more evil spirits that do evil and bring fear to humans. That’s enough.”

“That’s indeed the case.”

“Well, I’m going to rest first.”

A few minutes after Yotsuya Miko went upstairs, Nishimiya Shoko walked down.

When she saw Yozora-kun sitting on the sofa, her eyes first showed a look of surprise, and she was just about to run over to say hello when she saw Yozora-kun’s empty sleeve, and her expression changed.

“Yo… Yozora-kun… your hand…”

“Oh, you mean this?”

Yozora-kun shook his empty sleeve, then suddenly extended his arm from inside it and said with a smile.

“I was bored and just playing around with retracting my hand.”

Nishimiya Shoko: “Um… then Yozora-kun, since you’re so free… would you like to go out shopping with me and Haimu?”

“Shopping, what are you buying?”

Kitagawa Haimu leaned over to explain.

“It’s like this. Mai-senpai said that she hasn’t cooked for everyone in a long time. There are so many people today. It would be difficult to find a place to eat out, and it’s also quite inconvenient. It’s better to wait for her to wake up and cook dinner directly. After everyone eats, we can go out to play. It’s also a good time to speak freely and say whatever we want while eating.”

After Kitagawa Haimu finished speaking, Nishimiya Shoko added with a smile.

“By the way, when I just came down, Hina and Yui also said that they would help tonight.”

“Eh? Eh? Eh.”

Hearing Nishimiya Shoko’s words, Kitagawa Haimu and Yozora-kun both showed looks of fear and waved their hands repeatedly.

“Hina can help, but we can’t let Yui help randomly. It’ll really become a large-scale murder scene.”

… …

Twenty minutes later, inside a large supermarket in Kyoto City.

"So that world... such a change actually happened..."

Just listening to Yexing's description, Kitagawa Kaimeng felt an unspeakable discomfort.

"No one talks to each other, and there are no self-thoughts or desires, just a world operating according to a set program..."

Kitagawa Kaimeng pursed her lips, a complex look appeared in her pupils wearing colored contact lenses, and she murmured.

"That kind of world... although it is true that no more evil will appear, but... is there still value in continuing to exist?"

"This topic is too profound, and I don't know what Yagami Light over there is thinking."

Yexing shook his head, looking at Xigong Xiazi, who was picking all kinds of ingredients not far away with a serious look, and holding a long bread in his arms, he shook his head and said lightly.

"I only know that the Yagami Light in that world eradicated other people's desires, but he himself retained that extremely distorted and disgusting desire, and performed this kind of spiritual castration on the people of the whole world. Anyway, I will not do such a thing. It's not because of any meaning or free will, it's just that I simply think that such a world is too boring."

"Fortunately, you guys solved it."

Seeing that Xigong Xiazi was not paying attention to her side, Kitagawa Kaimeng quietly挽住 Yexing's arm, first kissed him on the cheek, and then smiled sweetly.

"As an ordinary person, my opinion is that no matter what kind of person, absolutely no one can take away my desires. It is because human beings are always pursuing something that life is meaningful and dreams can exist."

"Kaimeng, Yexing, take a look, is it enough to buy these?"

Seeing Xigong Xiazi pushing the shopping cart, which was full of various ingredients and a lot of snacks, so tired that she began to pant, Kitagawa Kaimeng couldn't help laughing.

"It's enough, it's completely enough, it's just a meal, there's no need to make it so grand, right?"

"Um..."

Xigong Xiazi nodded obediently.

"Then... should we take some out?"

"Okay, okay, they've all been put in, so there's no need to take them out, it's just..."

Kitagawa Kaimeng looked at the pile of things in the shopping cart, with a troubled expression on her face.

"So many things, at least five or six bags are needed to pack them all. Whether it's taking a taxi or taking the subway, it's a bit inconvenient to go back..."

"That doesn't matter."

Hearing Kitagawa Kaimeng's words, Yexing chuckled aside and said.

"Xuga Xiami happens to have something to come to me for, and she's already on the way driving. She's also going to participate in the celebration banquet tonight. We can put the things in her car later, and then go back together."

"That's great."

When they finished paying the bill and left the supermarket, Kitagawa Kaimeng and Xigong Xiazi saw Xuga Xiami standing next to a plain and unremarkable black car.

"Hello, Kaimeng, Xiazi."

"Sister Xiami, hello, hello."

After putting the bought things into the trunk, Kitagawa Kaimeng and Xigong Xiazi sat in the back row, Yexing sat in the passenger seat, and Xuga Xiami naturally acted as the driver.

"Why did you buy this car?"

After getting in the car and fastening his seat belt, Yexing joked.

"With your current status as a well-known media person, and your flamboyant posture and style, shouldn't you get some sports car to drive? Why did you buy this kind of car?"

"Oh, don't mention it."

Xuga Xiami waved her hand, looking helpless, and sighed heavily.

"Do you think I don't want to buy a cool red sports car like Xiaojing? But it's because I'm too well-known now, and I'm often recognized by pedestrians on the street. If I drive an eye-catching sports car, that's terrible? Please, I'm doing self-media, and it's very common to go through the streets and alleys to collect information. As a result, after the popularity is high now, people often provide some information that sounds outrageous and is completely fabricated in order to gain attention. In order to be on the safe side, I have to confirm them one by one. As a result, in the past half month, I haven't been able to write a valuable report. I've really encountered a Waterloo in my career..."

Speaking of this, Xuga Xiami sighed again, then waved her hand.

"Forget it, forget it, this is also something that can't be helped, let's talk about the more important business first."

Xuga Xiami said lightly while driving.

"Yexing, I asked a few friends who write political news about the things you asked me about last time. The relevant information collected is in the storage box in front of your seat. Take it out and read it yourself."

"Okay."

Yexing opened the storage box in front of him, took out a kraft paper bag from it, opened it, and watched the information that Xuga Xiami had collected during this period.

"The Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department now seems to have been isolated by the entire Metropolitan Police Department system. Mr. Yagami has also been asked about it. He recently wanted to expand the Kyoto Special Operations Team as an excuse to apply to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but they neither clearly refused nor agreed, but have been deliberately delaying it with various procedures and the reason that there are not enough police officers in the local Metropolitan Police Department."

"And the police superintendent who put pressure on the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department last time seems to be in a bad situation recently. The frequent occurrence of dangerous incidents in Kyoto and Tokyo is secondary. The main point is that after more than a year, the Metropolitan Police Department still has not been able to find the real identities of 'Mask' and 'Kira'. It was this police superintendent who overruled all opinions and hired L as the special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department. With the dissolution of the special investigation team of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, his ability has also been questioned, and the position of police superintendent is precarious."

Speaking of this, Xuga Xiami paused, then smiled and said.

"But during the time you were away, a student from Xiuzhiin Private Academy named Fujiwara Chika came to me. This name should be familiar to you, right?"

"Fujiwara Chika? What did she ask you to do?"

"Of course it was to provide information."

Xuga Xiami held the steering wheel with both hands, with a meaningful smile in her tone.

"Although those friends of mine know that the police superintendent is under pressure from all sides, they don't know much about the specific situation inside. It was that Fujiwara Chika classmate who provided the information, clarified the context of the various factions in the political world, and then, she also asked me to convey a sentence to you."

"What words?"

"Let you not forget the agreement between you and her."
