"Coming, coming~"

Wearing her home clothes, Yagami Zhuangyu opened the door and saw Yexing standing next to her brother. She smiled shyly and quickly greeted him.

"Brother Yexing, please come in, please come in~"

"Okay, thanks, Zhuang Yu."

Seeing his younger sister's infatuated expression after being called by name by Yoshinori with a smile, Light Yagami couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, then raised his hand and tapped her on the head.

"Don't just stand there, come inside quickly."

"Oh, alright."

After entering the room, Yagami Sōyū poured tea, sat down, and smiled sweetly.

"Mom went out today, so it's just the two of us at home. You can relax a bit, Brother Yexing."

Immediately afterwards, Yagami Souyu looked at Ye Xing sitting opposite him and couldn't help but speak up.

"However, this is the first time my brother has brought friends to our house."

What kind of image does Light Yagami have in the eyes of his younger sister, Souya Yagami?

The genius who ranked first in the entire school in academic ability, although he himself didn't feel anything, his friends would say things like, "Your brother is so handsome," or "Can I have your brother's contact information?"

It's likely that, in the eyes of outsiders, the older brother is very popular.

However, Yagami Souyu always had a strange feeling, perhaps a sixth sense that only family members could have.

My brother... is arrogant, and... is not happy.

This was the first time Yagami Souyu had ever seen such a genuine smile from the heart, like when he was with Yoru.

"He's different."

Light Yagami put his hands together, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and spoke with a smile.

"By the way, Zhuang Yu, you don't know yet, Ye Xingjun is a genius who got first place in the joint exam of Zongwu High School and Xiuzhi Academy. He's even stronger than me."

"Eh? Real or fake?"

Yagami Sōyū didn't know what Soubu High was, but he had certainly heard of Shuchiin.

As a junior high school student, she also considers the private Shujiwon Academy as her first choice.

"Brother Yexing, is he really that amazing?"

"Of course."

Light Yagami smiled and nodded, speaking softly.

"He is a friend I acknowledge."

........

After they finished eating together, Light Yagami let his younger sister go upstairs first.

Then, he flipped through his phone, found a news report webpage, and placed it in front of Ye Xing.

"This is a report about the exhibition, which will run for a week starting tomorrow at noon. The venue is the Tokyo National Museum. Of course, this is different from Onimaru Kunitsuna's operation that time; the situation is rather special this time."

"It's quite special..."

Ye Xing looked at the news report and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

The Tokyo National Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have made comprehensive preparations for this exhibition themed around Mikazuki Munechika.

Think about it too.

After all, just a few months ago, a major incident occurred where the Kyoto City Museum was invaded by a mysterious person.

Even though the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department claimed that no cultural relics were stolen or damaged, it still caused extremely negative consequences.

In this context, it's to be expected that the Tokyo National Museum, which also features an exhibition on famous swords, would raise the level of security for this exhibition to the highest level.

"How arrogant."

"Arrogant?"

Upon hearing the words spoken by Yoru, Light Yagami was momentarily stunned.

He originally thought that the other party would say it was troublesome and that he needed to be careful, or that, based on his observations of their personality, they would completely disregard the guards of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Management Museum.

How can you describe it as arrogant?

"Isn't that arrogant?"

Ye Xing looked very displeased and spoke righteously and sternly.

"They stole our famous sword, Mikazuki Munechika, and yet they brazenly display it in front of the public! I have never seen such shameless people!"

Ye Shenyue: "......"

Rebel against Tiangang?

Plaintiff becomes defendant?

"In short... I've been observing the terrain around the National Museum these past two days. The nearest 'gate' is 7.2 kilometers away. After completing the operation, how to cross that 7.2-kilometer distance is the most pressing issue to consider."

"Speaking of which..."

Light Yagami paused slightly and pulled out a photo from his phone's album.

"Look here."

Ye Xing looked down and saw a photo on the screen. On both sides were tall buildings, and in the middle was a bustling commercial street with people coming and going.

There's a saying in the province of cherry blossoms.

Apart from Tokyo, the rest of the area is rural.

While this may be a bit of an exaggeration, the very existence of such remarks demonstrates the significant gap between Tokyo and other cities in Sakura Prefecture.

Even on holidays, the commercial street in Kyoto only sees two or three thousand people. Compared to this bustling commercial district, it pales in comparison.

To the average person, it's just an ordinary photo of people passing by, nothing special.

But the night star could see it clearly.

In the photo, there is a "door" emitting black mist, which is about 80% open.

"here it is?"

Light Yagami's eyes flickered as he slowly spoke.

"Shibuya."

"Shibuya... How interesting."

Looking at the photo, which only psychics could "observe" as an anomaly, Ye Xing seemed quite interested.

According to Rio Futaba's analysis of the Otherworld, it is an alternate dimension composed of people's negative impressions and emotions.

This also explains why the "doors" connecting the inner world and the real world are most likely to appear in dark alleys, unfinished buildings, abandoned buildings, and the like.

Because subconsciously, humans try to avoid these places, even those who don't believe in the existence of evil spirits; it's an instinct.

But...

What comes to mind when you put the words Shibuya and shopping street together?

A bustling, vibrant scene; a constant stream of people; a dazzling array of goods; cutting-edge fashion; and strikingly attractive young people...

No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't accumulate so many negative impressions that it could lead to a "gate" scandal, right?

"You actually pay attention to this kind of event?"

Upon hearing Ye Xing's curious question, Yagami Light revealed a meaningful smile, and the crimson light in his pupils intensified.

"Only by devouring more evil spirits can my Emperor Sutoku become stronger and be able to punish more evils."

"You're a madman, Yue."

"Likewise, Lord Night Star."

.........

That night.

"Tokyo, it really is Tokyo."

Upon seeing that the person who said those words was actually Rio Futaba, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Futaba's personality has become much more cheerful since we first met."

"this..."

Rio Futaba seemed a little embarrassed. She took off her glasses, placed them on the table next to her, and muttered something under her breath.

"That's right..."

"By the way..."

Yui Yuigahama glanced around Yosei's room, her expression complicated.

"Why are you staying in a deluxe suite, while we all have regular double rooms?!"

"Hey, you're wrong to say that."

Night Star replied in a very serious tone.

"I'm staying in a deluxe suite, which I paid for myself, not from the club's activity fund. I didn't let you stay in a double room; you're lucky to have a king-size bed. Hotels in Tokyo are very expensive."

Yui Yuigahama paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

"That's true. Every little bit helps, since making money through exorcism is quite dangerous."

"How could you actually believe that?"

Mai Sakurajima sighed softly, looked at Yohoshi sitting on the sofa with an understanding expression, and said calmly.

"Is this guy thinking that if they live in pairs, there won't be a chance to make a move?"

Ye Xing nodded in deep agreement and smiled.

"Yes, Mai-senpai truly understands me."

Immediately afterwards, he stopped smiling and said seriously.
