Light Yagami's heart was filled with alarm. Every time Makima said something like this, he felt as if he were being watched by some indescribable monster. It was like the stress reaction he'd get when he saw cats and dogs in a cat cafe or kennel about to be neutered by their owners.

But Light Yagami doesn't consider himself a dog, nor does he consider Makima his master.

only...

"Why did I feel like I was being controlled by a master at that moment?"

Light Yagami didn't think much about it, and just regarded it as the natural fear of "elders" in people's hearts.

"It's home economics class." Yagami Yue explained calmly, "Because a man and a woman have to cook together, and the space on the simple stove is not large, there will inevitably be some physical contact..."

"Is that so?" Makima nodded, accepting Light Yagami's explanation. The terrifying aura instantly vanished without a trace.

As if afraid that Light Yagami might misunderstand, Makima explained, "Light, you're not allowed to have overly intimate behavior with the opposite sex before you graduate from university. Right now, you should focus on your studies."

Makima raised her chopsticks and finally picked up a piece of ginger and put it into Light Yagami's bowl.

"Hi hi." Light Yagami nodded quickly. Looking at Makima, who looked like a good wife, mother, and sister, he couldn't tell for a moment whether she said this from the bottom of her heart... or was just trying to cover up her mistake.

Seeing that her mood seemed to have improved, Light Yagami revealed his true intentions and stated his purpose.

"Ms. Makima, do you know anything about the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4 and demons?"

"Ok?"

Machima paused as she picked up the food, her face expressionless: "Why do you ask that?"

"Maybe it's because I saw that special report on TV during club activities after school today." Yagami Light had a naive expression, his wine-red eyes gleaming with a clear, innocent light. "Have things really come to this?"

"I'm curious~"

"Could you please tell me about it, Miss Machima?"

Makima was about to refuse, but she met Light Yagami's clear and innocent gaze. As if her heart was shocked by something, she pursed her lips and changed her mind.

"Information about demons is highly confidential within the Metropolitan Police Department. So, if you want to know, Yue-kun, you must promise me that after graduating from university, you will pass the professional exam and become a member of the police force."

"..." Light Yagami helplessly held his forehead: "The time span is a bit long. But with my ability, passing the professional group exam is easy."

"Since Yue-kun is destined to become a member of the senior police force, it's not against the rules to say these things. However, there is one last thing I need to confirm with Yue-kun. What do you think of Kira?"

Makima's slender, fair index finger gripped the rim of the glass, gently swirling the bubbling Pepsi inside. She crossed her legs, tilted her head slightly, and displayed the demeanor that Light Yagami knew so well.

'Testing me?'

"No, I didn't reveal anything to Makima. It was probably just a test for me."

Light Yagami controlled his facial record and put on a thoughtful expression, then said slowly, "I absolutely don't mean to endorse Kira. But... if someone like Kira really existed, the crime rate would definitely decrease."

"Hmm... well, normally, this is probably a natural occurrence. However, if there's a thought of commending Kira for his crime reduction efforts..."

"How is that possible!" Yagami Light interrupted, his face sincere and serious: "How can I possibly commend that kind of murderer? As a police officer, I will definitely arrest anyone who tramples on the law!"

His tone was generous and passionate, and fell clearly into Makima's ears.

Makima looked at Light Yagami seriously, a nice smile on her lips, as if she was very satisfied with Light Yagami's answer: "It's great that you think so, Light-kun."

"Then let me tell you~"

Makima downed her Pepsi in one gulp. "Public Security Anti-Magic Section 4 is the most mysterious department within the Metropolitan Police Department. I don't know much about it... I just know that everyone in it possesses special abilities."

"As for the demons—"

"Only high-ranking police officers and members of the Anti-Magic Section 4 possess the relevant information, and all of it is kept in paper files... Coincidentally, I know a little bit about it~"

coming soon!

Light Yagami's heartbeat slowed down a beat, and he held his breath, waiting for Makima's next words.

"The term 'demon' is just a general term. There are demons that take human form, and there are also demons that are stereotyped. There are demons that lurk within the human body, and there are demons that hide in the dark and prey on their prey."

Light Yagami asked calmly, "So, someone who looks normal could be a demon, right?"

"That's possible. Furthermore, some demons are embedded in the human subconscious, requiring certain conditions to be met before they can usurp the human form and escape."

"Because of this nature, and fearing it might cause panic and disrupt the existing order... this information is kept strictly confidential."

Makima paused, and her golden eyes seemed to glow with golden light. "I'm curious, Yue Jun is so concerned about this issue, is it really just because of Kira's matter?"

"Tell me your true feelings~ This is——"

"Order."

----

Do the early birds have tickets to eat? .^?^.

Volume 1: 43 No blocking allowed!

This is an order!

The air suddenly twisted, as if invisible chains stretched out from Makima's spine, rushing towards Light Yagami in front of him and locking his spirit tightly.

Light Yagami's eyes were dazed for a moment, but he didn't feel uncomfortable.

"Orders? Did Miss Makima use the same Metropolitan Police Department tactics on me? You're adapting really quickly... Just cooperate."

He responded to Makima's order expressionlessly: "Yes. Because I want to get more relevant clues and help Miss Makima catch Kira as soon as possible to reduce the burden."

"Well, is that so..." Makima smiled faintly, and seemed to be very pleased with what Light Yagami said. She nodded and said, "Tsukushi, go and do your own thing. I'll wash the dishes."

"understood."

Light Yagami turned around, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.

Got it figured out.

If the devil is as Makima said, then... Nishimiya Shoko is the devil. The devil rooted in her subconscious wants to be liberated from her body, and to achieve this goal, she must stimulate the evil thoughts in people's hearts to kill the devil's body.

Light Yagami's eyes turned cold, and he had no intention of letting the bullies off. A gentleman's actions are judged, not his heart. Even the most evil thoughts, as long as they remain hidden, remain a gentleman. On the other hand, using this as an outlet, unbridled and unleashing one's malice, regardless of whether one is tempted or not, is damned!

Those bullies deserved death, and this demon deserved death even more. The Death Note's power alone couldn't resolve the demon within Nishimiya Shoko... If the mission didn't involve killing the demon, could it be considered a complete rescue?

All signs indicate that if a demon is discovered, there are only two possible outcomes: one is to be annihilated by the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4, and the other is perhaps to be suppressed in a prison that cannot be detected by any satellite.

Either way, it was hell for Nishimiya Shoko. To kill a demon, you must first release it, and to release it, you must destroy its body. The Metropolitan Police Department has a zero-tolerance policy toward demons, so there's no "observe" option. While it's unclear how the Public Security Anti-Demon Section 4 finds demons, given the lack of information in years, it suggests they must have the ability to find them.

Nishimiya Glass...can't escape it.

No solution.

'what to do? '

"Is there any way to destroy the demon within Nishimiya Shoko without harming her?"

Light Yagami fell into deep thought.

This was just like a minimally invasive surgery, and the person holding the knife was a layman with no medical experience.

"If I could know the true name of the demon within her, perhaps I could give it a try..."

...

...

Yukinoshita Yukino curled up on her bed, leaning against the corner, burying her head in her arms.

The only response Yagami Light gave her was a series of pictures. The pictures contained the bullies' plan to bully Nishimiya Shoko.

'He deserves death!'

'Killing him a thousand times wouldn't be enough!'

This was her first thought after reading the outrageous plan in the crime plan.

"What's the point of protecting someone like this?"

Sometimes, Yukinoshita Yukino really wants to call the police.

After deciding to establish the Service Club and having her first contact with Light Yagami, she had been reading books on Japanese law. If... those guys really carried out the crime as planned in this criminal plan, Nishimiya Glass would suffer the most painful death in the world, but what about them?

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled an anecdote from a popular science book on Japanese law:

In 1968, Norio Nagayama, then under 20, stole a pistol from a US military base in Japan and, motivated by financial and antisocial reasons, shot and killed four people on the street. This was Japan's first juvenile homicide case, and the case dragged on for a long time, proceeding through the district court, the high court, and finally the Supreme Court.

While awaiting his verdict, Nagayama wrote a book from prison about his personal experiences, titled "Tears of Ignorance." The book became a bestseller, and he subsequently published a series of other works, some of which even won awards. His rise as a writer attracted numerous enthusiastic fans, sparking calls for the abolition of the death penalty.

[It took a full 29 years before the execution was approved]

[It can be said that Norio Nagayama is one of the main culprits behind the current abolition of the death penalty in Japan.]

Japanese courts still adhere to the "Nagayama Criteria" developed at that time, determining convictions based on the nature of the crime, the motive, the pattern of the crime, particularly the brutality of the killing, the severity of the consequences, the number of victims, the feelings of the victims' families, the social impact, the age of the offender, his or her criminal record, and his or her behavior after the crime.

In addition, due to the dual effects of the Japanese Juvenile Law, juvenile criminals are almost immortal.

Yukinoshita Yukino despairedly discovered that according to existing Japanese laws, even if the acts in this criminal plan reached the level of serious and extreme evil rarely seen in Japanese history, the most they would receive would be imprisonment for ten or twenty years, not even life imprisonment, let alone the death penalty... Their photos would be censored in the media, their names would be omitted, and they wouldn't even be condemned by the world.

After entering the Chiba prison, they will use the money collected from taxes paid by the "Yukinoshita family" and the "Nishimiya family" to enjoy the "human rights benefits" brought by the white left wave in prison.

nausea!

Want to vomit!

Yukinoshita Yukino covered her mouth tightly, forcing herself not to vomit. After a while, she finally suppressed the nausea that was rolling in her stomach.

What on earth is she thinking of protecting? !

For the first time, Yukinoshita Yukino questioned the things she wanted to protect and the justice she wanted to uphold.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly. If she and Light Yagami hadn't received Nishimiya Shoko's plea for help, and had simply allowed the bullies to carry out their plan... Shoko would have died. After Shoko's death, perhaps this heinous crime would have caused a sensation throughout Japan? And perhaps, even that would have forced those in high positions to amend the Juvenile Law?

Thus indirectly protecting possible future victims and punishing juvenile offenders at the cost of the "death penalty"?

"I know that even if the death penalty is imposed, it will be delayed indefinitely for various reasons... But under current Japanese law, the victim can't even be given the name of the death penalty..."

In the end, it is Glass's death that can protect future generations, and her death will become a torch in the endless darkness.

"And I, Yukinoshita Yukino, am nothing."

Yukinoshita Yukino took out her cell phone, the bright light illuminating her haggard face, and she slowly deleted the message she was about to send to Light Yagami.

The page jumps to Hiratsuka Shizuka's information column.

The reply from above was positive, and she had already notified all the parents of the meeting.

Only this time, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to care, nor was she able to.

because--

Simple emotional concepts would not allow her to prevent the judgment of justice.

Volume 1: 44 Snow Under the Snow: Celebrate! (Please read it later)

The sky was covered with dark clouds and muffled thunder rumbled.

The sky, oppressive for days, finally showed signs of a torrential downpour. The sun should have been shining, but instead, it was obscured by thick, dark clouds. The wind howled, the branches swayed, and the air was thick with the scent of dampness.

The clouds pressed lower and lower, as if they were about to crush the earth's backbone. At this moment, the earth was filled with a solemn and depressing atmosphere. Pedestrians on the road hurriedly walked, and the feeling of oppression brought by the weather filled everyone's heart.

"Have you heard? It seems like a thief broke into the school yesterday!"

"Yeah, the security guard is being criticized~"

The sound of students talking in groups of three or four could be heard in the corridor.

Bang-!

Hiratsuka Shizuka's face was gloomy as he slammed his fist down on the desk. The force was so great that the cup filled with boiling water bounced up and landed heavily on the table with a loud noise.

Only one parent responded with action.

Yes, there is only one. Ishida Masaya's mother, Ishida Miyako.

Shizuka Hiratsuka suppressed her anger as she looked at the woman in front of her, her hair dyed yellow with a halo of black hair on top. Her appearance was soft, her head lowered, revealing a sense of humility. This was not the first time she had endured the wrath of other parents and teachers because of her son.

Hiratsuka Shizuka fell silent, feeling a sense of depression sinking in her heart with nowhere to vent.

Blame her?

It's definitely her fault. Neglecting discipline has led to Ishida Shoya's current wicked personality, one that takes pleasure in bullying others. Is it all her fault? Not entirely...
