In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

His guess was undoubtedly confirmed.

John Backus couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Sure enough, he was waiting for someone to come.

It seems that Kira Yoshikage is to get to know him personally.

As for why it must be Yoshikage Kira?

John Backus didn't know, but the only person he knew who was heading this way was Yoshikage Kira.

John Backus patted Aoba Mimori on the shoulder:

"Let's go back to the office."

Without waiting for Aoba Mimori's reply, he turned and walked up the stairs back into the building.

After hesitating for a long time, Aoba Mimori finally stood up nervously and quickly followed John Backus.

On a distant high-rise building, Inoue Takina asked softly:

"Can a secretary be killed?"

"I think it's better not to."

Chizuka Nishiki hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head. "We're not sure who the target is, so let's leave it to Kira-kun."

Inoue Takina nodded slightly, watching the two people on the stairs from afar through the scope, and saw them return to the building.

Back in the lobby, temporarily out of the sniper's sight, Aoba Mimori breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knew the crisis wasn't over yet, and hurriedly asked:

"Mayor, should we go out the back door?"

John Backus walked to the elevator, pressed the up button, and asked in return:

How do you know there isn't another team of snipers at the back door?

"This……"

Aoba Mimori fell silent. So, either way, he was going to die?

"Go ahead and run if you want, as long as you can escape. If I die, you should be the new mayor."

John Backus patted him on the shoulder again, then turned and walked into the elevator.

After struggling for a long time, Aoba Mimori gritted her teeth and followed him into the elevator:

"Mayor, we can call for backup! The higher-ups will definitely send someone to rescue us!"

"let's hit."

John Backus waved his hand. “Do whatever you can, without reporting to me.”

Since the other party was able to come to their door, it means they have already investigated them thoroughly.

The kind of support they can think of, the other side can't possibly not think of either.

Aoba Mimori either couldn't find support, or the other party tacitly agreed.

Perhaps this was one of their objectives, deliberately waiting for them to call for backup so they could wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But in any case, he didn't believe the other side would give them a chance to escape.

Ding Dong!

The elevator stopped at the top floor, and John Backus stepped out and returned to his office.

His heart was still filled with the fear of death, but his expression had become much calmer; at least he wouldn't die now.

Boo!

John Backus uncorked the bottle, leisurely poured himself a glass of red wine, and then quietly walked to the window, gazing at the distant skyscrapers.

He raised his glass and toasted the sniper who was aiming at his head.

-----------------

Ding Dong!

At 23:25, the train arrived in Nishi-Tokyo.

boom!

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, and Yoshikage Kira glanced at them before looking away.

All he wanted to do now was end it all as soon as possible and catch the last train back to Nakai Station before midnight.

That's it.

Leaving the station, cross a few streets, and the government building is just a few hundred meters away.

The mayor's office on the top floor was brightly lit, casting the silhouette of a figure in the window.

"come yet?"

John Backus murmured to himself as he swirled his glass of red wine in one gulp before settling back into his office chair.

Aoba Mimori didn't come back; he probably found somewhere to hide.

I hope he survives.

click!

John Backs cocked his pistol and faced the office door, waiting quietly.

He put his phone on the table and didn't try to look at his diary again, because he knew it wouldn't help him.

After an unknown amount of time, the office door was finally pushed open.

Crunch!

The office door slowly opened, and a tall, blond young man came into view.

"You're here to kill me?"

John Backus asked, feigning nonchalance.

Kira Yoshikage did not answer him, but spoke calmly:

"My name is Yoshikage Kira."

Bang bang bang bang!

Upon hearing the name 'Yoshikage Kira,' John Backs didn't hesitate to point his gun at the door and empty the magazine.

But all those bullets seemed to float in front of Yoshikage Kira, as if blocked by an invisible barrier. They didn't even manage to hit him, let alone penetrate enemy armor!

John Backus watched all this, his hand, which had been reaching for the magazine on the table, stopped.

His smile grew increasingly bitter; he had realized that all his struggles were in vain.

Even though he was shot at the moment they met, Yoshikage Kira's expression remained calm:

"16 years old, unmarried."

“I work at the Hotel Okura Tokyo, and I have to work overtime until 10 p.m. every day before I can go home.”

"I don't smoke, and I only drink in moderation. I go to bed at 8 p.m. and make sure I get a full eight hours of sleep every night. Before bed, I drink a glass of warm milk and usually do some stretching exercises for twenty minutes to relax my body before going to bed. This way, I almost always sleep through the night."

I wake up feeling like a baby in the morning, without any fatigue or stress. The doctor says I'm perfectly normal.

What are you saying?

John Backus looked puzzled. What was this? A prelude to an execution?

"This is to explain who I am: I hope to live a peaceful life, not to be obsessed with winning or losing, and not to make enemies that keep me up at night. This is my attitude towards life in this society, and I know that this is my happiness."

"However, if it really comes down to a fight, I will not lose to anything, whether it is a man or a god."

John Backus's breathing quickened, and fear surged within him. He realized that Yoshikage Kira wasn't speaking to him, or rather, he wasn't just speaking to him!

Is it Deus? Is Deus watching him?

He is no longer just John Backus, but a bargaining chip in the battle between Deus and Yoshikage Kira!

So, Deus will save him, right?

John Backus, who had been in despair, felt a glimmer of hope, and Kira Yoshikage, instead of speaking immediately, slowly began to speak:

"I have a question for you."

"What's the problem?" John Backus asked hastily, appearing even more anxious than Yoshikage Kira.

He knew that only by answering Kira Yoshikage's question could he stall until Deus came to rescue him.

Who proposed the Future Diary project?

Faced with Yoshikage Kira's question, John Backus stood there, somewhat hesitant and confused:

"How do I know this?"

This is a game of the divine organization. He is just an ordinary mayor, at most colluding with the CIA. How could he possibly know the secrets of the gods?

Kira Yoshikage stared intently into his eyes, unable to detect any sign of lying, nor did he possess the ability to determine whether the other was lying by licking sweat.

and so--

Yoshikage Kira murmured to himself, pressing his thumb:

"I see."

BOOM!

"Wow!"

John Backus's body collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The excruciating pain in his head drove him to extreme mental confusion. He struggled to lift his half-collapsed face, his eyes filled with utter terror as he looked at Yoshikage Kira:

What did you do?

Kira Yoshikage remained standing there, calmly watching him:

"It's just blowing half of your face off from the inside. You can feel it clearly, right? The feeling of a third of your brain and facial muscles shaking and vibrating together. I even deliberately left a wound on the inside of your mouth so you can taste your own brain matter."

"You should know very well that with your current injuries, even the most advanced modern medicine cannot save you. So, can you answer me now? Who came up with the idea for the Future Diary?"

John Backus crawled painfully toward Yoshikage Kira, his eyes filled with fear yet also with hope as he reached out his hand:

"I don't know... Help... Help me..."
