"Signed."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips moved silently.
There was an irrepressible smile in the corners of her eyes.
He was secretly playing with small toys during class. I don't know what they are, but judging from how many I've seen, he must be doing something fancy.
Light Yagami gritted his teeth, writing his name on it with one hand, his mind filled with uncontrollable complaints.
Can't you tone down the force? Are you trying to kill me with pain?
Inside a single room.
Chihaya Aine was in tears.
Every bit of news she overheard, she wanted to pass it on, not knowing if it had been reported over there.
My hands are so tired from providing cover.
They used various methods to convey messages while trying to avoid revealing any flaws.
This was Chihaya Aine's first special operations mission.
Chapter 156: Chihaya Aine is Fearless
"Could you please stop hovering around me?"
Chihaya Aine tossed and turned, unable to relax because someone was always watching her after she got the toy.
"I'm afraid you'll choke to death. Your safety is very important." The girl who delivered the things sighed. "You have to stay alive so that we can secure more benefits here."
"What? I have that much influence...?"
It would be a lie to say she wasn't happy. After all, when she was studying in the UK, the feeling of falling behind made her want to escape, but then she suddenly became the subject of worldwide fame on the plane.
Chihaya Aine was both nervous and somewhat at a loss.
"Don't be too happy yet. If you don't achieve your goal, the higher-ups will come after you." Leaning against the door, the female supervisor scoffed. "Being a hero isn't so easy. Don't you know that the higher you're praised, the harder you fall?"
“I know, that’s what Kira was thinking back then.” Chihaya Aine paused in her work, her eyes filled with admiration. “She could have easily used her abilities to join a powerful family and live a good life, or make a lot of money and live a stable life, but she gambled on the possibility of being shattered to pieces and launched the greatest war ever.”
"It is precisely because the war was destined to fail that it appears so great."
The girl on guard glanced around; seeing no one approaching, she sighed softly:
“There is no way to overturn human nature under the current circumstances. There were people who hated her to the bone before, and they discussed how to take revenge after finding Kira.”
"To guard her body in the center of the United Nations, so that the dead Kira can witness the new world she painstakingly created gradually returning to its original state."
"To smear her image, rewrite this period of history, say she was a serial killer, say she was extravagant and debauched..."
This was common knowledge within the rebel faction, so the guards spoke of it casually.
After all, Kira had almost no power in the past. Those high-ranking people were behind the scenes, claiming to support her but actually concealing their true intentions and acting secretly, just waiting for the day Kira fell so they could personally destroy her great image and make her a sinner.
"You...you're absolutely disgusting!" Chihaya Aine was so shocked she couldn't speak.
They even planned to reschedule Teachers' Day to the day Kira saved the world, then fabricate a reason to announce Kira's death, and on the anniversary of his death, announce the founding of a new federation.
They should also choose a sacred and solemn center for their future weddings, so that Kira can witness their comeback and shed tears.
—Simply because Kira is revered as a mentor by ordinary people all over the world.
"The higher-ups are going to lose."
"Luckily you're going to lose." Chihaya Aine smiled with relief, carefully conveying the message on the purple mood screen.
The staff member remained silent for a moment. She came from a famous family and was admired by others since childhood, living a life of privilege. As long as she did not offend an even bigger family, she could live as she pleased. Of course, if she did offend them, the consequences were hard to predict.
Perhaps you'll be forced to apologize by your family, or you'll be forced to kneel and beg for forgiveness; it all depends on the other person's mood, the size difference between the two families, and the closeness of your blood ties within your own family.
She used to hate Kira intensely, wondering why those lowly people could be on equal footing with her.
As members of a powerful family that existed since the founding of the nation, they even had to be mindful of others' opinions when they became officials.
Kira appeared when she was only ten years old, and they hadn't noticed her until now. If they had followed the established path to build a new family, they would have had no choice but to step back and give way. They would see the results in ten years; she was still young.
But now... more and more talented and ambitious people are joining Kira's organization, but there are all sorts of power struggles within the organization.
If Kira hadn't removed the last fig leaf and turned her attacks on these people posing as her followers...
They're not willing to step forward.
After all, they were following the slogan of Kira's worship. Although their lives weren't as comfortable as before, they could still secretly make a profit. They had accumulated a lot of wealth before, but they had lost their privileges and prestige.
One must be mindful of others' opinions when making decisions, rather than acting arbitrarily.
"I'm a little envious of you. We're like rats in the sewers, and if we go out, we'll be dealt with. But you appear before the world as a hero."
She leaned against the door with a complicated expression.
His background determined that he was not on the same path as Kira, and he could not allow people from the lower class to be on equal footing with him.
History was written by their ancestors.
Perhaps our ancestors rebelled, leading to a fierce power struggle.
Who would criticize their ancestors as worthless? It would only erase and downplay that period of history.
"Am I a hero?" Chihaya Aine murmured to herself.
"Yes, you are a hero. Even if you couldn't stay there, you are still a hero for escaping back to China. No one will mention this experience. Your image cannot be tarnished. The higher-ups have already investigated your family information thoroughly."
She smiled, but her heart was filled with bitterness.
Who would have thought that this little girl, who couldn't accept the psychological gap and fled from Great Britain, would suddenly become a hero?
Looking at the toy in Chihaya Aine's hand, she asked with a strange expression, "Why are you playing with Purple Mood with your hands and mouth all this time?"
"Ah, I'm a little shy." Chihaya Aine hurriedly explained, emerging from her initial elation.
Although I wanted to convey a message to Kira.
But she had never used such a toy before.
Moreover, I'm afraid of pain. I've only heard from fellow students how enjoyable it is, but I've never actually experienced it myself.
"There's a shower inside. You can go to the cubicle to wash up and relax as much as you like."
"If you can't reach an agreement, you might have to suffer a bit."
The preferential treatment given to Chihaya Aine and other hostages was to gain more say, as some of their relatives were still in prison undergoing labor reform.
They were the last group of reactionaries.
They come from a country whose position has not yet been replaced by those who have imprinted their thoughts; they are remnants of a family who wear the guise of Kira worship.
"Don't mistreat me, I'm afraid of pain."
Chihaya Aine was startled by the expression on her face and burst into tears.
"Where did your courage go at this point? If it weren't for your death-defying speech on the plane, our people might have succeeded, though the probability would have been very low." The guards didn't believe that Chihaya Aine's silence would guarantee success.
The best-case scenario would be to perish together with those two.
It's highly unlikely that Kira's followers would rebel and work for them.
"Being willing to die and being tortured are different, right? I... I've never slept with a boy before."
Chihaya Aine shivered.
She didn't know if she could withstand the torture. If she could die quickly, it would be better to just consider it a dream.
Chapter 157: The Heart of the Strings
"If you're going to die, try the next part."
Chihaya Aine muttered to herself, still holding onto some hope, and didn't use the previous words.
Light Yagami is a wonderful person, and Chihaya Aine is one of the tens of millions of girls who once dreamed of marrying him.
After using the rest of her product, Chihaya Aine remembered something.
She seemed unable to break free from contact.
Could Light Yagami have already sensed it over there?
She's impure, yet she still forces herself on people...
Limping out of the bathroom, Chihaya Aine nervously looked at the older woman at the door.
At least from her current perspective, he's not a bad person.
"Don't look at me like that. The negotiations are still ongoing, and your fate is still uncertain."
"The worst outcome is a lose-lose situation; they will force you to join and send you these videos."
The girl on guard said with a hint of pity, "You're being praised so highly now, so they'll make you fall to your knees. The more they vilify you, the more satisfied they become."
"Aren't they afraid Kira will harm the people in the prison?"
Chihaya Aine shrank back, her face filled with immense sorrow.
"Kira enforces the law very strictly. She won't use excessive force. We don't care about morality. If we torture you into confessing, we'll force you to say some reactionary things and admit that you're just putting on a show. It will also implicate your family."
The countries like Japan are almost all managed by people controlled by Kira, whose power is confined to a few small countries.
He lived in constant fear and anxiety.
Naturally, we don't want to see someone with such a persecution plan living a good life, and the current good treatment is not temporary.
“Shattered to pieces…” Chihaya Aine murmured as she cried, listening to the person in front of her vividly describe how she was being tortured.
Depriving people of sleep, food, and rest, and chaining them... it was a horror I had never imagined before.
"What? Afraid of ruining your reputation?"
The guard yawned and idly scrolled through his phone. There was still a signal here, but he couldn't communicate with the outside world.
"Do whatever you want, I'll smash Kira to pieces for you."
Chihaya Aine clenched her fists, trying to cheer herself up. She didn't have any new information yet, and she didn't know if the other side could receive it.
"I didn't want to be a great hero, I just stepped forward when I was needed at the time."
"If I remember correctly, you were planning to go back to China and study at a school where nobody knows you, right? And you even wanted to join a band to improve your reputation. The authorities have already labeled you as vain."
“Yes, that’s right.” Chihaya Aine squatted down on the ground, holding her head.
She had never before had she been able to establish contact with Kira in her lifetime; to her, he was a very revered figure.
The trial was a daily pastime, something we did after meals.
Watching a group of glamorous figures being tried, their crimes being made public, and learning the ideas passed down by Kira.
"I don't want to be a traitor, I'll find a way to commit suicide."
Chihaya Aine has already begun engraving her last words.
She knew very well that she couldn't bear the pain, and her willpower wasn't as strong as these people's.
Compared to Kira, who wiped out her entire family and caused her status to plummet, burdened with a deep-seated hatred, she was just a rich young lady who lived a happy life and hadn't suffered much hardship.
"Whatever, I'll keep an eye on you. I'll lock you up until the results are in to prevent you from committing suicide."
Although they didn't quite believe she had the courage to carry it out, the girl on guard was still prepared.
Once the terms are agreed upon, this base will be abolished, and everyone will use a portal to leave and move to another base.
Chihaya Aine perked up a little.
While carving her last words, she tried to get the location of the base out of him, and she also wanted to struggle a bit.
One's own abilities are the key to breaking the deadlock.
...
Light Yagami took leave and didn't bother to ask Shizuka Hiratsuka to return the marriage certificate, since he could always back out later.
He was a bit dumbfounded.
Chihaya Aine rambled on and on, wishing her parents a long and healthy life, and hoping they would live a good life.
She was prepared to die, but she was also afraid of the pain.
Finally, she asked if she could ask Kira for his hand in marriage after becoming a hero.
He proposed marriage to himself.
