Having already seen Hayasaka Ai off, Yagami Light quickly changed the subject to prevent her from becoming too withdrawn.
"How about we go and meet with the former UN Security Council member?"
"I didn't tell you before about the arrangements after I died."
Seeing that he had attracted Misa Amane's attention, Light Yagami continued speaking.
"I knew I would die sooner or later, so I found someone to entrust my orphanage to continue perfecting the laws I left behind, including demonstrations, and several books on ideology to popularize the masses. If the people who come after me do not continue to rule according to the plan I set, then there will be plenty of people to overthrow them, and plenty of people to resist through demonstrations."
“She knew I had a secret weapon, but she didn’t know it was the Death Note. At first, my orders and messages couldn’t get out, and she helped to pass them on. She was on my side.”
When Light Yagami first began judging sins as Kira, he intended to manipulate those in high positions to commit suicide, and before doing so, he would write down his own and all the crimes he knew, and post them online or commit suicide in public.
However, the powerful figures who control the media can completely block information, preventing it from getting out.
He could only watch helplessly as his name was smeared as that of a criminal, a vicious and heinous criminal.
"At that time, she was one of the first people willing to follow me, spreading the truth about Kira everywhere. Later, I solved the problem by directly killing the families of those who blocked the information. Whoever blocked the information, I killed their whole family until no one dared to disobey, until they argued for me."
Light Yagami recounts the history of the past.
"But she betrayed you, she collaborated with the Scroll Group, and with people who are trying to destroy the world."
Misa Amane waited curiously for him to continue.
"She's not confused when it comes to important matters. When she saw signs of resistance, she joined forces with them and used a teleportation technique to try and capture Kasumigaoka Utaha. I think she's planning to get rich quick."
Light Yagami looked somewhat somber.
Find Kira, murder her, then confine her to a high place, and make that day a holiday, with her descendants getting married in front of her corpse, while she can only watch helplessly as her life's work gradually reverses and she returns home to the world.
This was the suggestion made by the person who had sworn to follow him.
"Isn't Yue good enough to her? She has a high salary and a high status. As long as she's not greedy and doesn't enjoy special privileges, that's fine."
Misa Amane finds it hard to understand why she would betray them.
"Since ancient times, after conquering the world, the world must be divided. Perhaps she is oppressed, or perhaps she wants to support me. Who knows? I have not given these people the right to rule a region. It is understandable that she wants to join those people."
Even UN Security Council members who break the law are treated the same as ordinary people; they must be careful about their words and actions and act according to the will of the people.
Who could stand that?
Several tens of minutes later, Light Yagami entered the interrogation room, his footsteps very light.
"What will our world of equality become?"
Sobbing sounds came from inside the fence.
"They've already laid bare your secrets, saying you only partnered with them to get rich quick, and now you're here pretending to cry?"
Her face, though showing signs of aging, betrayed no artifice, and glistened with tears.
Light Yagami felt like he was just acting.
“You’ve all laid out your division of interests. They’re in charge… while you’re going to establish your family in the south. You’re not allowed to extend your reach into the center.”
Light Yagami slapped the wailing woman across the face without a second thought.
"She arranged for her son to work at the Disabled Persons' Association and enjoy a life of luxury, while allowing her daughter to go into business and make money..."
Every piece of evidence is irrefutable; she truly wanted to be rolling in money after gaining power and influence, forgetting her original intentions.
"What's the difference between us and her?" Misa Amane, who had followed along, asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Do not seek personal gain, do not show favoritism to those close to you, and uphold fairness and justice."
Although Light Yagami has his own selfish motives, he will not show mercy.
Those who deserve to be killed are killed, and those who deserve to be sentenced are sentenced. Even a mother-in-law is imprisoned without exception, and she only attends funerals because she is on probation.
He did not pursue the rape cases, but these were permitted and at most considered morally wrong.
“Our children will not be superior to others. If they do something outrageous and get imprisoned or even sentenced to death, it can only be blamed on their parents for not raising them well.”
This is what Light Yagami insisted on.
It is not a family-run business, nor does it control almost all the world's media voices like the Genjuro Group.
"That's why she betrayed Yue, isn't it? She was betraying her own class."
The hardest thing for people to do is not to have never had something, but to have it and then lose it.
Misa Amane used to wonder why Light Yagami, instead of being the eldest son of a powerful conglomerate, joined forces with people from Shuchiin to start a charitable foundation and do all sorts of altruistic things.
It's much clearer now.
His father was a worker and his grandmother was a farmer. Growing up in such a family, he did not want any more workers and farmers to be exploited.
“Many people think I have something wrong with my head, and some people think I’m desperate for fame.”
On the way home, Light Yagami talked about his experience at Shuchiin.
“At that time, I realized that foundations had become a means of harvesting the wealth of ordinary people, and not much money was actually used for practical purposes. So, together with some classmates from Shuchiin University and the Genmaki Group, I founded an absolutely open and transparent charitable foundation.”
“I definitely can’t manage it all by myself. Kaguya Shinomiya, as an investor, inserted her family members into the scheme, and as a result, they used the donations to squander on their own. After I found out, Kaguya Shinomiya even prevented me from holding them accountable.”
"Is this why Tsuki hates Kaguya-chan?" Misa Amane opened the window, letting the wind blow through her golden hair, making it messy. "But Kaguya can't do anything about it since she's part of a family."
“The one who stands in my way is the enemy. How can she possibly have anything to do with me? We are on different paths, so we cannot work together.”
“There were even people inside who used their connections to demand that underage boys sleep with them before they would approve the funds to save their mothers.”
Chapter 173: Sleeping Beauty Kaguya Shinomiya
Therefore, without some means, it cannot be salvaged.
Kaguya Shinomiya was taught from a young age that family interests come first, and women are merely appendages of men.
As an illegitimate child, she had neither the courage nor the ability to punish her elders, and was even expected to maintain respect for them.
"Enter the illusion."
Arriving at the Yagami residence from the nearby Anteiku district, Kaguya Shinomiya saw Light Yagami's figure from afar through the window.
.....
He was still holding the Twenty-Four Histories in his hand, and when he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, and he was dressed in medieval royal attire.
A lark flapped its wings and flew to Light Yagami.
"Ahead lies a thicket of thorns, where the legendary Sleeping Beauty is said to be."
"sleeping Beauty?"
Light Yagami plucked a red rose that peeked out from behind the fence; thousands upon thousands of roses seemed to be in a sea of flowers.
It's so colorful, like stepping into a fairytale world.
The fragrant aroma of plants kept wafting into my nose.
"Long, long ago, the king of the Four Palaces Kingdom had no heirs... After the king had a daughter, he invited twelve witches to a banquet... Each witch offered her sincere blessings..."
"Wait, wait, wait! The princess you're talking about isn't Kaguya Shinomiya, is she?"
Light Yagami stopped the chirping lark.
The eunuch who relayed the message in the fairy tale is an example of this.
He had heard the story of Sleeping Beauty before, including the original version and many later versions.
"Of course, Princess Kaguya is the most beautiful and lovely person in the world." The lark swayed in front of Light Yagami.
"You mean that tablet? Didn't all those witches' blessings make it grow any bigger?"
Light Yagami grabbed the lark and examined its throat.
"I didn't see any transverse bones, could it have been refined?"
Lying in the coffin, Kaguya Shinomiya silently enlarged herself by a size; since it was an illusion, she could do as she pleased.
"The moon has it in its grasp!"
She ignored the complaints, feeling a small surge of joy inside; the lark was her embodiment.
"What horizontal bone?" The lark blinked its innocent eyes.
“In fantasy novels, for an animal like you to become a spirit, you need to refine the bone in your throat.” Yagami Light stroked his fur and muttered, “The Japanese emperor, doesn’t he look a bit out of place?”
The sturdy fence was covered in thorns, seemingly unwelcoming to visitors, and Light Yagami probably guessed what the mission was like.
You can only leave after you've had sex with Sleeping Beauty a few times.
In the original story, Sleeping Beauty gives birth to a child, and the child eats the linen that puts the mother to sleep.
Then, the princess ended up with the king of another country who had raped her.
The discussion about digressions didn't last long; the lark revealed that it was the pet of the twelfth witch.
They are here to guide the destined prince, a hundred years from now, to the center of the Rose Kingdom to rescue the sleeping beauty.
"Could you introduce me to the witch?"
When Light Yagami realized it was Kaguya Shinomiya, he gave up.
In comparison, he seemed quite aware of the existence of the curse.
"The witches are gone. A hundred years have passed, and their traces have become history. Now, Prince of the Moon, you need to fulfill your mission." Kaguya Shinomiya lied through her teeth, guiding him into the scenario she had envisioned.
Her face was already bright red, but the bird couldn't tell.
"It's about awakening the princess through actions."
Light Yagami was used to it, whether it was playing Kasuga Kage with his body or proving his relationship with the pig.
This seems simpler.
"You need to make a vow to grow old with the princess in front of her, then express your feelings with a passionate confession, and finally kiss her..." Kaguya Shinomiya corrected.
"You're lying, I know."
Light Yagami nodded mechanically in agreement.
"Don't you have any feelings at all? This is a princess, the kindest, most beautiful, and gentlest Kaguya Shinomiya in the whole world."
"Perhaps so, but feelings aren't something you can just hear about from names. The courage and responsibility to go on and make it happen are also things you can't just dream about."
According to the background, Light Yagami was just a prince who had heard of and secretly loved Sleeping Beauty.
Kaguya Shinomiya knew this too, and she quickly said, "According to the will of fate, you two are a match made in heaven. Even if you have to cross time and distance, you will be together."
As he climbed the massive wall of thorns, Light Yagami almost burst out laughing.
If I'm not mistaken, Kaguya Shinomiya also entered it.
How could he possibly be a perfect match for a girl who condones her family's corruption, even though Kaguya Shinomiya has changed for the better according to Ai Hayasaka and has gained a lot of support in the election?
What happened in the past is like a knife scar that cannot be erased, and it hurts my heart every time I think about it.
That's why Momoka resisted help from her father.
Light Yagami felt a bit like his cousin.
I plunged into a sea of roses, where the flowers bloomed vibrantly and the thorns on the branches were pitifully few.
Before me lies a world at stillness.
The palace was entangled and covered with thorns, the hall was magnificent and golden, the guards were lying on the ground, the fountain outside and the water inside were still, the cook and child laborer were lying on the ground, and a hand was still grabbing the child laborer's hair.
The king and queen lay dead in their bedchamber. Light Yagami approached, but it was neither the dead man from Shinomiya Gan'an nor the long-deceased Shimizu Naotake.
Golden staircases connect to the upper levels of the palace, and in every scene one sees, there are people lying on the ground, their lips curled up as if they are lost in a sweet dream.
The fire in the furnace stopped burning. Light Yagami sensed the strange atmosphere and heard the urging voice of a lark behind him: "Hurry up, the princess is waiting for you."
Led by the lark, Light Yagami entered a dreamlike and beautiful house, which looked just like Kaguya Shinomiya's house.
He visited her many times during that time and even saw Kaguya acting cute when she had a cold.
Inside the bronze coffin, Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes were closed, her sweet smile like she was taking a nap. Through the crystal lid, one could see the fine downy hairs on her face and her long eyelashes.
His hands were peacefully crossed over his abdomen, and the abnormal bulge at the front made Light Yagami glance at him a few more times.
"Strange, is it really that big?"
The lark pretended not to hear, landed on the lid, and solemnly raised its head: "The princess needs to be awakened with love, not simply by doing things. There are requirements on the screen; this is the witch's final warning."
As soon as the words were spoken, the lark turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
