Genju patted her chest, completely unashamed of what had happened; she acted like a child.
When her parents were alive, they were extremely protective of her, and they would investigate the identity of everyone who approached her.
“I will keep it a secret too,” Chihaya Aine added.
Light Yagami could tell what she was up to with just a glance, so he ignored her and kept thinking about the person from earlier.
He pulled out a scrap of paper and wrote down the name he had just seen with his Death Eye. Although he didn't know why this person had the courage to cross the ocean, he figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
Soon, a huge airship arrived.
Light Yagami waved.
The person above is from the Tsurumaki family, who have almost monopolized the wealth of half the planet, and has been brainwashed by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
The person in the lead was holding a small box.
"Lord Kira, the item is here."
"Just call me by my name, no need to call me 'sir'."
"Yes!"
Light Yagami waved his hand, took the box from the fanatical head of the Tsurumaki family, and had Kokoro Tsurumaki press her finger on it.
Inside was a bottle of potion that shimmered with purple light.
"what is this?"
Strings took it out out of curiosity.
"It's the medicine you drank when you were a child, extracted from someone else's body. This is the only bottle left."
Light Yagami has control over the vast majority of the world's major financial groups and also knows the past of the Genmaki Group.
They once captured people suffering from puberty syndrome, one who was able to swap souls, and another who possessed some kind of enhanced physique.
In the past, when technology was not advanced, the former would have all the active parts of their body processed into biological tissues and preserved in machines at the end of their youth.
This refers to the machine that frequently appears in BanG Dream! that allows you to temporarily switch bodies by bumping into it.
The latter was extracted into a medicine to enhance the body, which was then fed to his daughter by her doting father, Genmaki Shin.
That's why Shin Tsurumaki has the physical strength to jump from the third floor and the mentality of a child who never grows up.
This appears to be a side effect.
“They must have been far from smiling when they left.” Genjuro Kokoro said with a dejected look on her face, something she rarely did.
The side effects of the medication kept Xian Juanxin cheerful every day.
"At least they got justice. Even if they get their revenge, they'll still smile, won't they?"
Light Yagami patted Shin's head.
Futaba needs some data support, since she's just one person with a few subordinates.
"That kind of smile is terrible."
Tsurumaki Kokoro quickly recovered from her disappointment, hands on her hips, and declared, "I want to share true happiness with everyone!"
.....
The enormous airship, equipped with the world's most advanced power system, rose from the ground, creating a towering wave of air.
Chihaya Aine boarded the airship that only existed on television and looked at the scenery outside with awe.
She realized something.
I have said goodbye to my past life.
Even if Light Yagami doesn't accept him.
Just based on that reputation, the future looks bright.
She was holding a cell phone, which Light Yagami had kept safe.
The news on my browser and short video platform is almost entirely about myself: interviews with my middle school classmates, and evaluations and encouragement from my classmates and teachers during my studies in the UK.
"I'm so happy to be praised!"
Chihaya Aine covered her face and chuckled foolishly.
No one mentioned that she couldn't adapt to life in Britain and dropped out of school to return to her hometown.
Such speculation may exist, but it has been completely blocked.
We cannot allow the little heroes to have a negative image.
“Michelle~”
Tsurumaki Kokoro came bouncing over, clutching a teddy bear, and started talking to her.
"Aine, I want the toy from before."
"Clam?"
Chihaya Aine took a few steps back.
"No other toy gives that feeling, that comfortable feeling!" Kokoro asked the maid to bring several different models of purple Mood toys, but none of them brought the same joy as the ones she had used before.
She looked at Chihaya Aine with pleading eyes, "I'll pay any price, I just want a genuine smile."
"...What kind of happiness is that, a forced, satisfied smile?!"
Chihaya Aine scratched her head awkwardly.
You can't exactly say you're playing with real stuff, can you?
It feels just like the real thing, so it must be real.
These things have all been taken away, and she can't ask for them back unless Light Yagami speaks up, which is obviously impossible.
Chihaya Aine brushed it off.
Fortunately, Genjuro Kokoro wasn't the type to pry; she had a childlike mentality. Seeing her predicament, she didn't continue.
Ayane breathed a sigh of relief, continued flipping through the pages with a look of contentment and a happy smile.
Not only did she receive care from her parents, but she also kept in touch with various classmates. She felt like she could fly.
Swipe up to refresh, and there are +99 messages and all sorts of friend requests. It's like an explosion, with emails overflowing.
"The eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family is visiting and wants to invite Aine to work at their home."
I learned the news from my mother.
Upon disembarking from the airship, Chihaya Aine accepted Ichiji Nijika's order that she must not reveal any related secrets.
Having received permission to return home, Chihaya Aine put on a mask and tried her best to disguise her identity.
To avoid being recognized by strangers on the street who would frantically ask for autographs and photos—it was all too much of a fuss—her mother gave her a lot of advice on what to be careful about.
Their home was so crowded that they had to make an exception and move to an area with armed patrols.
Nervously undergoing the audit, Chihaya Aine was terrified of being shot.
However, she only received respectful looks.
It seems like everyone sees me as a hero.
Chihaya Aine was a little smug.
Kira is a great leader in the hearts of people all over the world. Through her fearless actions, she thwarted the plans of the opposing forces and is therefore admired by those who believe in her.
The same principle applies to the wives and children of prisoners who are subjected to Kira's trials, who are often looked down upon.
At the completely unfamiliar front door, Chihaya Aine had just stepped onto the pebbled path when the door opened. Her mother hugged her, while her father stood to the side, wiping away tears.
"Are you hurt anywhere? I heard you got beaten up."
She was so tightly held that she could hardly breathe, so Chihaya's mother finally let go, looking at her daughter with concern.
"It only hurts a little. Lord Kira arrived just in time, and I was saved."
Chapter 161: The Election Begins
"I will do everything in my power to support your research, truly pooling the resources of the world."
Carrying the legacy from the last century that he obtained from the Genmaki Foundation, Light Yagami arrived at Rio Futaba's research institute without stopping.
"It's a bit disgusting..."
Rio Futaba frowned as she glanced inside, then cursed, "Damn capitalists."
It's not that she has a bad temper.
No one could have imagined that a girl about to end her adolescence would have her abnormally reacting body tissues cruelly dissected.
They would all curse him as being worse than a pig or a dog.
And this is just one small part of what the Tsurumaki Foundation has done in the past.
In fact, as any enterprise or conglomerate that monopolizes a particular industry or region, they are both rule-makers and rule enforcers.
There are ways to control these uneducated people. With a little propaganda, they can make them grateful and create the illusion that the world is a wonderful place.
After all, this is a phenomenon that has continued from feudal society to the present day.
"It's over. Except for some remote areas where we still need to go to Kasumigaoka a few more times, the higher-ups of the zaibatsu in other places are all our people."
So, there's no need to be sad anymore.
Light Yagami smiled with relief. He used to live each day as if it were his last.
The hope of seeing a world where people no longer exploit each other established in my lifetime is slim.
It's even highly likely that they were vilified after their deaths, just to leave behind a spark of hope, waiting for the day when they would be fully awakened.
"Kasumigaoka is really putting in a lot of effort. You should also consider her demanding a higher position after she comes back."
Rio Futaba casually placed his belongings on the table, sat down next to him, and quietly reminded him.
"She did help me a lot, but I still understand the principle of first come, first served. Misa Amane did not let me down, and I cannot let her down either."
Light Yagami was saddened.
Recognition was what these girls were after, even though he didn't think he was particularly outstanding. After all, anyone else could have done something similar; this body simply had too many innate advantages.
"Haven't you convinced Hongxia yet?"
Rio Futaba pointed out a way to break the deadlock.
To become a saint who is ruthless and utterly reasonable, one can only rely on external forces.
“She can do most things for me, but she won’t change Kasumigaoka. I suspect that even if I go along with her, she won’t change me.”
"However, if everyone in this world is like a dragon, then there is no need for me. I can smash the statue of Kira, or even declare Kira dead. After all, everyone should die."
Light Yagami rested his head gently on Rio Futaba's lap, tilting his head back to look at her.
"It will take a long time. The upper levels are clean, but what about the lower levels? As far as I know, the source of information still has to be the people at the very bottom."
"It will indeed take some time. We have to thank those conglomerates for monopolizing various industries and for having already formulated basic internal plans."
The local industries, which are basically monopolized, don't require much effort from Yagami Yue. They were originally occupied by the chaebols, from heirs to distant relatives.
They occupy positions where they don't do any work, yet receive high salaries; a small portion of them are hired as laborers.
Like those idle games, each person has a one-square-meter private room for working.
Gold coins explode everywhere, and there are even security cameras to check if you're slacking off.
“In the past, you had to worry about the life and death of slaves and provide them with education and training so that they could have jobs. Now, you can buy them to work for 3,000 a month. It’s really cheap.”
Light Yagami chatted idly with Rio Futaba.
One of the questions in the recent monthly exam had the standard answer that the abundance of cheap local labor was beneficial for construction.
Those who start working right after high school will only realize years later that she has already become a figure in their writing.
...
"What is Yue thinking? Once those people are cleared out, Hai Sha won't be able to help anymore."
"Haisa has always relied on others' strength; she's afraid..."
After returning home, Light Yagami brought up the topic.
