Unjust Anime, but with Death Note

But it seems that during the time of being questioned, she will forget everything related to it.

Her wandering blade ultimately failed to strike Light Yagami, and she lost the possibility of using someone else's sword to kill Yagami.

……

……

"Ms. Makima, why are you back so late today?"

"Yue Jun, why haven't you rested yet so late?"

The two of them raised their doubts almost in unison.

After staring at each other, Light Yagami was the first to give in. "It seemed like there was an earthquake, and it woke me up. When I woke up and watched the news, I found that it seemed that the nearby Ogawa Apartments had collapsed, causing such a shocking commotion."

"Well...something happened there. I was temporarily assigned to take charge and maintain order at the scene to prevent any criminals from causing chaos during this period."

Makima explained, "Okay, Yue-kun should go to bed now. You have to go to school tomorrow."

Light Yagami wanted to turn around, but he saw Makima's slightly evasive eyes, as if... there was something very important hidden in his heart, and he was unwilling to reveal it to Light Yagami.

This was the first time that Light Yagami saw such a look.

Similar to what?

Light Yagami suddenly recalled an incident when he saw a young parent's evasive look when picking up his child. The child then burst into tears when he heard the news that his ancestors had passed away.

That's probably the look.

"So, something happened to someone important?"

"Ms. Makima, are you...hiding something from me?"

Yagami Light nodded his eyes: "When someone is worried, their eyes can't hide it. So if you have anything, you can tell me."

Makima looked at Light Yagami's determined eyes and was silent for a moment.

After a long moment, she sighed, walked to Light Yagami's side, and placed her cold hands on his face: "Officer Himeno...something happened."

Ji Ye?

Light Yagami's eyes narrowed slightly. He still had a deep impression of Himeno. This good policeman, similar to Hayakawa Aki, who stuck to the bottom line...had something happened?

"What happened?"

"Heno was dispatched to Morioh Town to handle a supernatural murder case there. Today, he lost all signs of life."

"If there are no miracles in this world, Ji Ye can basically be determined to be dead."

For a moment, Ye Shen also felt a blockage in his heart, as if resentment and anger were accumulating.

"So...where's the murderer? Has he been caught?"

Makima shook her head.

"If it's... Morioh Town, then I remember it being quite developed, with comprehensive surveillance systems. How could they not catch the murderer under those conditions?"

"Officer Himeno disappeared in an instant. After she turned a corner in the alley, we couldn't see her again."

"Also, due to some internal police issues, we can't immediately launch an investigation into Morioh Town. However, the relevant clues and information have been saved, and we will soon launch an investigation into the 'assault on the inspector' incident."

Seeing that Light Yagami wanted to say something, Makima used her authority as a parent for the first time and put her index finger in front of his lips to stop him from saying anything next.

"Alright, Yue-jun, these are matters between adults, not your concern. Your most important task right now is to get a good night's sleep and forget everything I said to you today."

"This is an order."

……

……

"Did you hear?! Xiaochuan Apartment collapsed yesterday. It was so scary. What kind of shoddy construction is this?"

"That's right, I remember Xiaochuan Apartments was only built seven or eight years ago. How many people died? Those developers deserve to die even more than criminals!"

"Hey hey hey! These are just small things. Aren't you paying attention to the big news in the country?"

"what?"

"I heard that the Chief Cabinet Secretary is going to hold a press conference today on behalf of the Cabinet Office. It seems like there's something very important to announce."

"Tsk—what's there to say? It's just official jargon repeated over and over again. It shouldn't have much to do with us anyway."

Yukinoshita Yukino sat in her seat, quietly flipping through a book, as if all the discussions around her had nothing to do with her.

But she took these words to heart.

What on earth happened there? This place, written down at Light Yagami's suggestion, had a major event last night, yet no media outlets have followed up on the story. Generally speaking, if even the media doesn't dare to follow up on something, it must be due to a gag order...

In this case, the situation began to spiral out of control. I could only wait until school was over and ask Light Yagami for clarification. With his skills, it wouldn't be difficult to figure out what happened.

There was another thing that Yukinoshita Yukino was quite concerned about, and that was the Chief Cabinet Secretary's plan to hold a press conference.

What kind of position is the Chief Cabinet Secretary? The National Police Agency Commissioner, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, and even all of Japan's police are under his jurisdiction. It's safe to say that a single word from him could send a massive earthquake through the entire Japanese police system.

One of his documents could potentially change Japan's approach to criminals in the coming years or even decades.

It can be that we kill all who deserve to be killed and pardon the innocent. If we catch a criminal at the airport, we shoot him at the airport. If we catch him in the restroom, we drown him in the toilet! Or we can forgive those who deserve to be forgiven. A criminal's life is also a life. Even if a police officer dies, the criminal's human rights cannot be violated.

But thinking about the various orders issued by this Chief Cabinet Secretary during his tenure, the reform documents issued on the National Police Agency, and the dark secrets I had heard from my mother...

The laws he enacted didn't constitute a crime worthy of death, but it was his orders that turned Japan into a hotbed of crime.

This Chief Cabinet Secretary doesn't look like someone who would be a good official at all.

Yukinoshita Yukino's fingers gripping the side of the book unconsciously exerted force, crumpling the page. Her heartbeat began to accelerate unconsciously.

"If, at the press conference this afternoon, he issued some malicious instructions..."

'kill?'

A bold idea formed in Yukinoshita Yukino's mind. She didn't know when it started, but she had become increasingly extreme. Perhaps it was in the nature of the Japanese to rebel against their superiors. The Chief Cabinet Secretary crushed the Truth Cult like an ant, while the Truth Cult controlled the Yukinoshita family with such ease...

But now, she, Yukinoshita Yukino, can arbitrarily control the life of the Chief Cabinet Secretary based on her own opinions.

Let Japan walk on the truly correct path.

She who possesses the Death Note is the real chess player!

As for the real owner of the Death Note... Yukinoshita Yukino has no intention of helping Light Yagami find himself again.

Ding--

Finally, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Yukinoshita Yukino quickly packed up her textbooks, picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom.

I didn't notice the whispers coming from behind me: "Have you noticed? Yukinoshita-san is getting more and more anxious to get out of school."

"Well, isn't that natural? After all, it's a club activity where I'm sharing a room with Yagami-san!"

Volume 1: 113 The Enactment of the Kira Act

Swah——

The sliding door of the Shinto Department was pushed open by Yukinoshita Yukino.

Seeing Light Yagami sitting by the window, a moment of dullness appeared on her cold and delicate face.

Time seemed to have gone back to the past.

During the time when Light Yagami lost his memory, she always arrived at the activity room before Light Yagami, and also turned around in her seat.

Today, Light Yagami arrived at the activity room before her and sat in her seat. However, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't think much of it. She put her bag beside the chair and sat at the other end of the long table.

"Yagami-kun, you came early today. Did something terrible happen yesterday? So you're here to borrow my 'power' again today?"

Pulling out a classic literary work and holding it in her hand, Yukinoshita Yukino pretended to be nonchalant. In reality, her ears were fully perked up, ready to listen to Light Yagami's next report.

Beneath the smooth uniform of Sobu High School lies a heart that has fallen into cunning.

Light Yagami had a strange look on his face, but he wasn't angry at Yukinoshita Yukino's rebellious behavior. On the contrary, looking at Yukino, the one he had created, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Through the filter of a sense of accomplishment, Yukino's behavior becomes cute.

For example, little girls imitate adults, try to apply makeup at home in the same way as adults, and wear high heels that don't fit them in an attempt to shed their childish identity. Such behavior, in the eyes of adults, seems inexplicably funny.

Light Yagami glanced at his watch and saw that there was still some time before the execution.

"Then let's tease her..."

Light Yagami immediately put on a worried expression and said, "Yes, Yukinoshita-san, something... very bad happened yesterday."

"Huh? What?"

"Even with Yukinoshita-san's power, there's nothing you can do to change this... and if you knew, it would probably cast a shadow over you. I will bear this guilt alone."

Yukinoshita Yukino was completely unable to keep her eyes fixed on the literary classic in her hand. She was somewhat dissatisfied with Light Yagami's long words. In the past, she would have really skipped such a topic, but now, how could she possibly skip it?

"We are accomplices, Yagami-san..." Yukinoshita emphasized, "Now tell me, what exactly happened?"

"An accomplice...?"

Light Yagami murmured, and the "confusion" in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of determination.

"Thirty Anti-Demon Police officers...died last night."

Thirty? Anti-Demon Police?!

Hearing this astonishing number, Yukinoshita Yukino's pupils suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Why..." Yagami Light smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Our guess was correct. The person hiding in Ogawa's apartment was a murderer who had killed countless people. The moment they met, a firefight broke out."

"The final outcome was that all thirty Anti-Demon Police officers perished. Their remains were mostly buried in the ruins of the Ogawa Apartment. Furthermore, because it was a covert operation, all media outlets were under a gag order, forbidden from reporting on the incident. The Metropolitan Police Department also did not hold a farewell ceremony for them..."

"It's very sad, Yukinoshita-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino only felt a buzzing in her ears, and the words in the book in front of her seemed to have become fresh life, jumping out of the book, roaring like the dead in front of her.

If she had not listened to Light Yagami's advice and had not revealed the information about Ogawa Apartment to the police... could these thirty Anti-Demon Police have survived?

It seems that the one who killed them was Yukinoshita Yukino...

Xueno's throat was dry, and her tone was a little stiff: "Where is the murderer? Is he dead?"

"Well...dead."

Light Yagami got up and walked to the TV, turned it on again, and tuned the TV to the NHK channel while speaking.

Hearing Light Yagami's conclusion, Yukino felt a little better. If thirty lives were lost, and the murderer still walked free... she would truly go mad. But beneath the surface, Yukino felt an inexplicable pressure on her shoulders. It was suffocating, bending her back even further.

She subconsciously looked up at Light Yagami. She didn't know if she was hoping for comfort from him, or if she wanted to see his reaction to reassure herself, thinking, "Even Light Yagami is like this."

But... the truth disappointed Yukino.

She didn't see a trace of guilt or hesitation on Light Yagami's face.

It was as if thirty human lives could not leave a scratch on Light Yagami's heart. On Light Yagami's face, Yukino could only see the faint dark circles she had never seen before.

"Can this guy... really empathize with normal people?"

'Did he stay up late last night?'

Suddenly, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Light Yagami with a look of surprise and suspicion. As he said, if this incident was under a silence order, how did an outsider like him know such details?

Even though he was adopted by a high-ranking police officer, would such a thing... be revealed to this extent?

As expected, the Japanese police are completely rotten.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Light Yagami who was operating the TV skillfully, and felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart.

It's been a long time since I saw that kind of look in his eyes. It was like he was expecting something.

'Yagami...could he have recovered his memory?!' Yukinoshita Yukino was given a bold guess in her heart, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the movements of Yagami Light's hands.

"Yukinoshita-san, why are you staring at me?" Light Yagami asked intently.

"Ye Shen, you wouldn't..."

"Ah, the press conference has begun."

Light Yagami interrupted.

A new picture appeared on the TV screen.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary had a serious look on his face, with the Commissioner of National Police and the Superintendent of Police standing on his left and right respectively. He walked into the meeting room of the "Joint Investigation Team against Kira" surrounded by them.

The conference room was now filled with star police officers from all over Japan, their eyes filled with excitement.
