Light Yagami cupped her face in his hands.
He hasn't reached the point of actively offering himself up for experiments yet; he has plenty of ways to win people over.
The power at the pinnacle of human strength is enough to offer ordinary people unimaginable bargaining chips, and there are plenty of think tanks to help plan and satisfy all the needs and desires of her and her relatives and friends.
"But... Yue has already achieved her goal and is able to control all the high-ranking officials. Isn't it enough to maintain the status quo?"
Misa Amane felt a pang of sadness as she thought about how she could have lived a happy life, but was now being forced by Kasugano Sora to follow the same path of sending her husband away.
"Human desires are endless, sea sand."
"Before I obtained the Death Note, I wanted to enable the employees in my family's company to live like normal people, and I wanted to establish a foundation to help people who lack money for medical treatment and whose families are in difficulty. I also wanted to maintain fairness and justice under the rule of one side."
"But with the notebook, I discovered that with this power, a war could be stopped, a country's policies could be changed, racial conflicts could be eliminated, powerful countries could help weak countries for free, and people who should have starved to death could be fed."
She knew all of this, including what Light Yagami was saying.
In the past, 300,000 people starved to death every day around the world, tens of millions went hungry, more than ten million were affected by war, and powerful families controlled a country.
Kira's arrival ended it all.
"It's already very good. Yue will gradually take control of the global ruling class, and there is no possibility of betrayal."
"But that's not enough. The exploitation of people still exists. Kasumigaoka Utaha's lifelong efforts could not even ensure that the smallest village had a person whose common sense had been altered. Moreover, after a hundred years, everything will turn to dust. We must leave a path for future generations."
A person eats dirt their whole life, and dirt eats a person only once.
Light Yagami could foresee that the world would move in a better direction while he was alive, but what would happen after he died?
Even after the wheat has ripened less than a hundred times, this land will still swallow the blood and tears of countless people at the bottom of society, bearing bitter fruit.
Why are there no remains?
Light Yagami witnessed capitalists using cremation as a pretext to profit from bones used in various industries.
Looking directly into Misa Amane's eyes, Light Yagami said, word by word, "I want a world without wrongful convictions, without exploitation and oppression, where the interests of a few are not sacrificed to maintain stability, where everyone helps each other, even after death. I want to leave a way of life for future generations."
Even after he's gone, the world will continue to develop in a direction where humans rule over humans; this is inevitable.
Under a polygamous system, the rise and fall of a family is inevitable. Unless those in power can be as selfless as those who can change common sense, they will always start by seeking the benefit of their relatives and gradually degenerate.
Misa Amane felt these ideas were great.
In order to maintain social stability, there will always be honest people who are bullied. Once they can't help but speak out, they may be labeled as discordants.
This was true even on Earth, where Kira ruled.
That's why Kira sometimes has to go on incognito trips to listen to the voices of the underprivileged and to take care of those who are not good at fighting for their own rights.
However, she lacked the awareness and lofty spirit to sacrifice herself for humanity; she simply wanted to be with Light Yagami and support his ideas.
"You can't cheat on him, or Misa will write them all down in her notebook! Misa can't accept that there are more girls around you."
Misa Amane raised her face, her resolute tone suggesting she was about to do what she said.
Light Yagami felt a jolt in his heart. The anime he remembered was the same way. Misa Amane was great in every way, except that she couldn't tolerate other girls.
"Of course not, I will remain chaste, for the sake of Misa and the others." Yagami Light said calmly, but then began to worry about how to deal with Wakaba Mutsumi.
Why don't we send her back to Toyokawa Shoko's place?
"I believe in Yue. Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha altered her common sense and she did that kind of experiment with Wakaba Mutsu, she kept her distance and they didn't have any physical relationship."
Misa Amane looked at her boyfriend with a smile.
A gun-cleaning experiment is something that can only be done when common sense has been completely distorted. The key point is that Rio Futaba, a person with a sound mind, doesn't seem to mind at all.
When she heard about this, her face turned green.
So you're just going to rub against it but not go in, huh?
Although I didn't actually go inside, I was just recording data.
"Cheating is my bottom line, and it's only natural to keep my partner's body pure." Yagami Light continued in a serious tone, going along with her words.
Misa Amane nodded repeatedly, her face full of trust.

Chapter 94: Wakaba Mutsu's Initiative
Toyokawa Shoko hung up the phone without expression.
Just now, Light Yagami asked about her family situation and wanted to send Mutsuka Wakaba back. How can that be allowed?
It should be noted that the excuse of the turmoil in the Toyokawa family and that Wakaba Mutsu could no longer stay at school was to exploit Yagami Light's guilt, so that he would take care of Wakaba Mutsu and ideally reconcile with him, in order to facilitate his visit a few days later.
Returning to the mansion, nothing had changed. The potted plants were still blooming freely by the window, and the maid dared not slack off.
“The weak me is dead. Now I am Shoko, running for prime minister on behalf of the Toyokawa family.”
With her hand on her chest, the girl with long, sky-blue hair muttered to herself, her heart pounding slightly, but her thoughts drifted back to a few days ago.
"Mother, it's all over. Father has been punished by Kira."
Upon entering, Toyokawa Shoko replied to her mother with a blank expression, just as she had when she witnessed her father, drunk and clutching a bottle of liquor, suddenly lose his mind, bite his finger, and write his crimes on the wall.
"Never admit that scumbag is your father in private again." The woman hidden in the shadows stood up.
Having committed countless evil deeds, Toyokawa Saku was destined to be punished by Kira. He became a pledge of loyalty to the Toyokawa family and was expelled from the family. His daughter, Toyokawa Shoko, voluntarily left the family with him to take care of her father for the rest of his life.
"Actually, I plan to suppress your identity as a musician and arrange for you to experience all kinds of difficulties from various people in the customer service industry. Only by truly losing everything can you grow."
The woman closed her eyes and told her daughter her plans without hesitation.
“But I didn’t lose any of that.” Toyokawa Shoko was prepared to experience the same suppression as Kawahara Momoka, even though she was a world-renowned keyboardist before, she couldn’t make a ripple.
No theater would dare to accept her; the money in her account could disappear accidentally due to a loophole, and the places she went to would inexplicably raise their prices separately, unless she used the VIP card that Light Yagami had given her before.
"When I was planning to do this, Yagami called me. Your ex, who had disappeared for a year, told me that it was unnecessary and that he would not support any company, as always."
"If you don't support him, why should I run for office? Is it to use his reputation to create momentum?" Toyokawa Shoko clenched her fingers.
The woman said with great emotion, "Lord Yagami said that you have lost your status and wealth, and all you have left is the dignity of a young lady. You have nothing else. Don't let even your last dignity be trampled on."
"Try to make the most of everything. The investigation data shows that there is still hope for him to get back together with you."
The woman picked up a file from the table and handed it to Toyokawa Shoko.
Inside are Yagami Light's recent travel records and information on the women he has been in contact with. Only people of his caliber, like the Toyokawa family, could obtain this information.
Stretching lazily, Toyokawa Shoko rattled off one name after another: "Misa Amane, Utaha Kasumigaoka, Subaru Anwa, Nina Iori..."
She didn't understand why she felt a liking for them, but she had to give Wakaba Mutsu a push; it was one of the few cards she had up her sleeve.
According to information from the Toyokawa family, Chitanda is already taking action. This woman, who comes from a wealthy farming family, is very likely to suit Yagami Yu's taste.
In the past, weary people experienced a few months of farming and weaving in a giant ecosystem built with billions of dollars.
Takamatsu Akari planted rice seedlings, Wakaba Mutsumi grew vegetables, she was in charge of weaving cloth and raising silkworms, Nagasaki Motoyo fished and cured meat, Shiina Tatsuki raised pigs, rendered oil, and made candles, and Yagami Light was in charge of most of the affairs.
...
...
Light Yagami sent Mutsuka Wakaba to a mansion. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would support her for the rest of her life, preventing her from having any contact with other men, but also ensuring she would have no further contact with them.
He has already decided on his life partner; he's not the kind of guy who can't resist beautiful women.
"I've already had the plants you planted dug up and moved over. The maids I usually use are the assassins kept by the Yagami family, so you don't have to worry about them talking badly about me behind my back."
After giving a brief explanation, Light Yagami prepared to leave.
"We are Huobao friends, once a day."
Ruo Yemu anxiously hugged him.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I already used it yesterday."
"No, once a week."
"Even once a month is not allowed; the consequences would be severe."
Light Yagami tried to push her away.
"As long as we don't get caught." Ruoye Mu had a feeling that this separation would last a lifetime.
Unlike Deng, who wanted to be in a band for life, and everyone else who married the same person, they never saw each other again.
Indeed, as long as he isn't discovered, once a day is fine. He can teleport instantly, and since Hongxia couldn't detect him before, he can do it all the time.
The thought flashed through his mind, but Light Yagami quickly retorted that if he really did that, wouldn't he be letting Misa Amane down? Besides, it was just a physical relationship without companionship, which would be too irresponsible.
"I can satisfy Light, but Sea Sand only needs a few minutes, right?" Wakaba Mutsu hooked her small foot around Light Yagami's calf.
The soft touch startled Light Yagami. How could anyone know that Misa Amane was no good?
Who told you that?
"Rin-na, she thought four minutes was normal."
"..." Yagami Light wanted to curse. At seventeen, Izare Nina was still a child, while Nagasaki Motoyo was already old enough to be his mother at sixteen.
The attributes of a widowed high school girl.
“I have other concubines, and they also need time.”
"How about once a month? I've already entrusted everything to you." Wakaba Mutsu refused to let go.
With the intention of never seeing each other again, Light Yagami considered her reaction; the worst-case scenario might be that she would confess her love in public.
Just like Ai Hoshino before.
If it's once a month, that seems acceptable.
Light Yagami hesitated for a moment.
It would be so unfair to make Ruoye Mutsu remain a widow for him for the rest of her life, even though she was the one who took the initiative in the first place.
He had healed the girl's past traumas and restored her to her human nature, but then left without a word after planning for the future.
"I'll make time to be with you once a month."
It was almost difficult for Light Yagami to give this answer. He considered discussing it with Misa Amane, but ultimately decided not to say it.
She truly would kill any girl who gets close to her, even if she already feels guilty towards them.
He loved Misa Amane more than Mutsumi Wakaba.
However, we can't just leave Wakaba Mutsu unattended.
That's alright, Light Yagami compared the time other men spent with his concubine.
"I will take good care of Yue."
When Momo's suppressed emotions erupted, she assumed it was because Misa couldn't satisfy her, which was why she agreed to be with her.
So, if you perform well enough, you can get more companionship, right?
Chapter 95: The Husband in Bed
Misa Amane is preparing to catch her husband cheating, just like before.
Light Yagami will likely feel guilty about this.
On the small TV screen, the boyfriend feigned reluctance but ultimately chose to satisfy the green-haired girl with his body.
Although it's a little uncomfortable, considering it only happens once a month, it's totally acceptable, and he's shown his attitude and cares about my feelings.
Misa Amane knows the location of Mutsumi Wakaba's new house.
She sent a message and set off.
At the entrance of the villa area, Misa Miya finished registering and suddenly spotted a figure with blue twin ponytails.
What's up with Toyokawa Shoko? She's here too.
Hurry up and follow, Misa Amane said, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Toyokawa? I'm Misa Amane, here to visit Mutsumi's new home."
“Miss Misa, I’ve heard of you before.” Toyokawa Shoko stopped and smiled. “I’m here to see Wakaba Mutsumi as well.”
With the same goal in mind, the two walked to the door, and Toyokawa Shoko directly took out the key from her pocket. This was the villa she had arranged.
Misa was secretly delighted. The two of them catching each other in the act would surely cause their moral depravity and favorability ratings to skyrocket.
She had already reached 120 points, but through the radar, she discovered that the battle was still ongoing.
Upstairs, Light Yagami was holding Muku Wakaba by the bed. The villa complex had several floors, and Muku Wakaba's voice was loud, so he hadn't yet realized who had come.
