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

As he spoke, Yoshikage Kira opened the car door and got out, walking towards the apartment building by the roadside.

"Um, please, please wait for me, oh dear~"

Kira Yoshikage hadn't gone far when he heard the sound of a taxi driving away behind him, along with the sound of a girl's tense, panicked, and painful cries.

Turning around, I realized that Shimazaki Yuna had also gotten off the bus and was squatting on the ground in pain because of her ankle.

Kira Yoshikage stopped and silently gazed at her:

Why are you still following me?

"I...I thought..."

The girl's expression was somewhat flustered, but it quickly turned into a visible sense of desolation as she murmured softly:

"I understand. I will leave, alone..."

"Someone secretly finds a place to commit suicide?"

No, that won't happen.

Yuna Shimazaki hurriedly shook her head and explained in a low voice:

"I won't commit suicide again, I just don't know where to go..."

Don't you have your own home?

A hint of sadness flashed in Shimazaki Yuna's eyes, and her voice was low:

"I have no home anymore."

Kira Yoshikage looked at her for a while, then slowly spoke:

"Come with me."

A glimmer of hope seemed to reappear in the girl's eyes, and she hurriedly nodded to follow Yoshikage Kira's steps.

Yoshikage Kira lives in an old-style apartment building with five floors and no elevator.

Yoshikage Kira lived on the fifth floor.

Although the journey up the stairs was short, it was quite difficult for Yuna Shimazaki.

click!

On the fifth-floor corridor, Yoshikage Kira took out his key and opened the door to room 502.

Snap!

I pressed the switch by the door, and the bright light illuminated the entire room.

The entrance is a small foyer, with an open-plan kitchen on the left and a toilet and bathroom on the right.

Further inside, on the left is a single bed with bedding neatly made up against the wall, and on the right is a desk with a desktop computer. An air conditioner hangs above the desk, and there is a small cabinet for storing miscellaneous items next to it.

Between the bed and the desk was a window with blue curtains drawn, obscuring the view outside.

"No need to change your shoes."

Kira Yoshikage said something indifferently and walked straight to the desk.

"Sorry to bother you."

Shimazaki Yuna bit her lip as she entered the house, politely closing the door behind her.

But after the door closed, the girl felt a little lost, unsure of where to sit.

There was only a bed and a chair in front of a desk in the room, and she felt like she didn't belong anywhere.

Moreover, this was her first time entering a boy's room, and she was all alone...

Thinking of this, the girl's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Chapter 6: I didn't want to work, so I decided to rob someone.

"You can sit on the bed."

Kira Yoshikage, who was engrossed in searching for something in the cabinet, noticed the girl's embarrassment. His calm tone, however, made the girl feel uneasy.

"Hmm~"

Shimazaki Yuna carefully sat on the edge of the bed, but as soon as she sat down, Kira Yoshikage came to her side, holding a small bottle of red liquid and handing it to her.

"what is this?"

Shimazaki Yuna paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Safflower oil".

Yoshikage Kira uttered a term that Yuna Shimazaki had never heard before: "It's a treatment for bruises and sprains. Just apply it yourself."

Shimazaki Yuna nodded as if she understood, took the bottle of liquid called safflower oil, bent down and took off her right shoe and black sock, hesitated for a moment and then took off her left shoe and sock as well, revealing a pair of fair and tender feet.

The girl carefully poured a little safflower oil onto her hand and gently applied it to her swollen ankle.

Kira Yoshikage ignored her and casually took off his shop assistant uniform, then took out his phone from his pocket and searched for something.

The effects of safflower oil were almost immediate; soon after, Shimazaki Yuna felt a burning sensation in her ankles and palms.

Just then, Yoshikage Kira suddenly pointed his phone screen at her:

"Is this you?"

Yuna Shimazaki looked up at the wiki page titled 'Setsuna Shimazaki' displayed on the screen, her expression momentarily frozen.

That's her wiki, but it wasn't created by her; it was compiled by others regarding her 'plagiarism'. Everything on it records her 'plagiarism' and the evidence thereof.

This wiki was also the direct trigger that led to her suicide.

"it's me."

Shimazaki Yuna pursed her lips tightly; this girl, so weak that she had never argued with rumors before, was now desperately trying to explain something:

“Those are all fake, I have never done such a thing…”

"unimportant."

Yoshikage Kira calmly interrupted her.

"unimportant?"

Yuna Shimazaki, who had been driven to the brink of suicide by this incident, stood frozen in place.

Yoshikage Kira scrolled through the works displayed on the homepage without even looking up:

"Whether it's real or fake, at least your drawing skills are real. I don't care if you plagiarized or not."

The wiki page lists a lot of evidence of 'plagiarism', but for Yoshikage Kira, he only cares about Yuna Shimazaki's works, and these works accused of 'plagiarism' are often more exquisite than their 'original works'.

"This kind of thing..."

Yuna Shimazaki looked somewhat dazed; she had always simply loved drawing.

And just as Yoshikage Kira said, she draws very well.

His drawing skills and popularity are rising rapidly, and he is even about to collaborate with a well-known producer.

However, her sudden rise to fame also attracted the jealousy of other artists, who made unfounded accusations against her for plagiarizing character designs and music. They even collected a large amount of 'evidence' and created a wiki page in her name, which in turn led to a large number of netizens who were unaware of the truth subjecting her to continuous cyberbullying.

This led her to fall into depression, and she even began to doubt her favorite subject, painting, and subsequently had suicidal thoughts.

But now, Yoshikage Kira tells her that none of that matters, only her drawing skills are real.

The constant insults and accusations had driven her to the brink of collapse, and Yoshikage Kira was the first and only person to truly acknowledge her...

Yuna Shimazaki felt an urge to burst into tears, but she still raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying her best not to cry out loud.

Kira Yoshikage looked at the girl who had inexplicably covered her mouth and calmly asked:

"I saved you, so it's reasonable for me to ask for some compensation, isn't it?"

"What...what do you want?"

Yuna Shimazaki was still unable to completely break free from the almost unbearable urge to cry, and her voice still carried a hint of sobbing.

"First of all, I lost my job."

Yoshikage Kira remained calm. "Because the bookstore where I worked was robbed by some thugs, the bookstore manager chose to fire me."

"Huh?"

Shimazaki Yuna choked up and paused for a moment, wondering why Kira Yoshikage was saying all this.

But Yoshikage Kira continued to mutter to himself:

"I've learned one thing from my short life—"

"The harder a person works, the more likely they are to be fired due to unexpected circumstances, rendering all their previous efforts futile. Unless, they surpass the average worker!"

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand." Shimazaki Yuna shifted her stiff body.

Kira Yoshikage's expression turned solemn:

"It means I don't want to work anymore!"

He made up his mind: he wanted to transcend being a wage earner and become a noble, self-employed individual!

As long as he is a flexible worker, he will never lose his job, and the peaceful life he desires will not be disrupted.

Among those in flexible employment, the easiest and most stable profession is that of a light novel writer.

For successful light novel authors, making money is as fast as robbery, but without any risk—robbing otaku is much safer than robbing a bank, and you can even earn more.

Moreover, he also had some writing experience.

"Ms. Shimazaki."

Yoshikage Kira looked up at the girl in front of him. "As payment for saving you, would you be my illustrator?"

Based on Shimazaki Yuna's seemingly frightened sobbing voice, Kira Yoshikage thought she would refuse.

So he had a backup plan: a large pink cat was floating in mid-air, calmly watching the girl.

"Sure."

Yuna Shimazaki's voice was so soft that even Yoshikage Kira almost couldn't hear it:

"If it were you, I'd do anything."
