"I'm alright. A lot happened yesterday, so I'm a little tired. How about you?"

Light Yagami sighed softly.

"I've been a bit tired lately, since school has started."

After exchanging pleasantries, there was a brief silence.

After a few seconds, Light Yagami finally spoke with a smile.

"By the way, I just arrived in Kyoto. Would you like to meet up?"

"can."

"Let's find a coffee shop then. I've sent you the address."

.......

After telling Rio Futaba, Yohoshi went out.

He knew that Light Yagami's sudden return to Kyoto City was definitely not just for a casual chat.

The reason someone asked me to meet them out is probably because there are certain things that are inconvenient to discuss over the phone.

Upon arriving at the agreed location, Ye Xing saw that there were only a few scattered tables of customers in the entire coffee shop.

Although it's Saturday, it's only 8:30 in the morning, so it's normal to have fewer customers.

"Night Star Lord, over here."

As Yoru walked towards him, Yagami Light stood up first, smiling and waving in greeting.

After Ye Xing sat down at the table, he followed suit, his manners impeccable.

"Would the guests like something to drink?"

Ye Xing, who was looking down at the list on the table, heard that very familiar voice and began to feel helpless.

He looked up and met the eyes of a girl with light blue hair, wearing an employee uniform and a hat.

"It's you again."

Kawasaki Saki was also taken aback for a moment, then said irritably.

"I was about to ask, 'Why is it you again? Are you stalking me?'"

"Please stop being so narcissistic, Kawasaki-san. Someone else invited me here."

Seeing the scene before him, Light Yagami maintained his smile, though a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.

"Ye Xingjun, is this... your girlfriend?"

"Do not misunderstand."

Ye Xing waved his hand.

"They're just classmates."

"That's it."

Light Yagami nodded noncommittally, looked at Saki Kawasaki standing there, and maintained a polite smile.

"High school freshmen are working from Saturday mornings. It must be really tough."

To Yagami Light's surprise, Kawasaki Saki frowned slightly upon hearing this and replied coldly.

"I want you to take care of it?"

Immediately afterwards, Kawasaki Saya hoped to reach out to the night star.

Have you decided what you'd like to order?

"The most basic coffee will do."

"it is good."

........

After Kawasaki Saki turned and left, Yagami Light said with a complicated expression.

"Um... Night Star, your classmate... is really quite unique."

Ye Xing waved his hand dismissively and laughed.

"Well, she treats everyone the same way, it's normal."

"Judging from her attitude towards you, it seems quite normal."

"Of course, I'm better looking than you."

Light Yagami shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and didn't bother to criticize Yosei's narcissistic words. Instead, he changed the subject.

"By the way, what have you been doing in your spare time lately?"

Ye Xing knew that the other person's "free time" did not refer to boring things like joining sports clubs, shopping, buying groceries, or cooking.

Rather, it concerns matters related to exorcism.

"Nothing special, I'm just feeling a bit bored."

"is it?"

Light Yagami nodded noncommittally, his smile suddenly vanishing as he lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

"According to the intelligence I've gathered, the Metropolitan Police Department's top brass has recently been focusing on two cities."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing showed no surprise, but simply asked indifferently.

"Let me guess, Kyoto and Tokyo?"

"Yes."

Light Yagami nodded.

"The Metropolitan Police Department's higher-ups have decided to request the assistance of that famous detective L. You may have heard of that name?"

"Yes, I know a little about it."

"That's good."

Light Yagami paused for a moment, a complex expression appearing in his deep brown eyes.

"I have a request."

"Since you don't have anything special to do lately, I hope you can temporarily play the role of a normal high school student and enjoy your daily life. This is what you deserve."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing suppressed his smile and said calmly.

"how about you?"

"I?"

At this point, Light Yagami's expression suddenly became excited and eager to try.

"I won't stop; in fact, I'll increase the number of events."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing understood what the other party meant.

It's quite normal that the Metropolitan Police Department would consider Kyoto and Tokyo as key cities for monitoring.

The former has attracted attention because of the sudden surge in the number of criminal cases and their increasingly serious nature, as well as his work at the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten and the Kyoto Municipal Museum, and the operation he took with Light Yagami to wipe out the Black Dragon Society, a violent criminal organization.

As for Tokyo?

This is, of course, due to the series of unusual deaths of criminals and ex-convicts.

There is only one L, but two cities are receiving significant attention.

Light Yagami's meaning is quite clear.

He wanted the Metropolitan Police Department's higher-ups to send L to investigate Tokyo, not Kyoto where the Superpower Society was located.

"You want to go toe-to-toe with that famous detective?"

Upon hearing Ye Xing's question, Yagami Light revealed a meaningful smile.

"As expected, you understand me the best."

At that moment, Saki Kawasaki brought over the coffee.

After the other person left, Ye Xing picked up his coffee cup, took a small sip, and shook his head.

"It tastes awful, not even as good as Coca-Cola."

Then, he looked directly into Light Yagami's eyes and said in a calm tone.

"If you get caught, I won't come to your rescue."

"Catch me?"

A hint of madness shone through Light Yagami's brown eyes.

"If I really lose, don't worry, before they can catch me, I will have Emperor Sutoku kill me."

"My sense of justice is not for the mere Metropolitan Police Department and so-called famous detectives to judge."

Only I can judge myself.

Faced with Light Yagami's words, Yosei simply sighed softly and offered a heartfelt compliment.

"BYD, you've really gone too far."

.......

Light Yagami did not linger; he left after finishing his conversation.

He came to Kyoto this time with the same flawless excuse.

The last time he came, he "accidentally" left his class notes at his home in Kyoto.

Because his father was busy with work, Light Yagami didn't want to waste his father's time on this small matter, so he took advantage of his free time on Saturday and came to pick it up by himself by Shinkansen.

This is quite in line with the persona he usually cultivates.

After Light Yagami left, Saki Kawasaki, dressed in her employee uniform, walked to the table and sat down directly opposite Yoshinori.

"Hey, I have something to tell you."
