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

As long as natural disasters are 'killed', the world will remain peaceful.

Although it was a bit strange, the girl felt that this might be Kira Yoshikage's true thoughts.

After all, plants don't move.

While running away could certainly avoid natural disasters, the girl felt that Yoshikage Kira would absolutely not be able to endure a life of constant fear and hiding.

Climbing to the top of the mountain can help you avoid floods, but what if the flood is so great that it can even submerge the mountaintop?

Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tornadoes have limited impact ranges.

It may destroy a city, or even a country, but natural disasters always come to an end.

But what if the natural disasters don't stop, but instead spread to the entire world? When the whole world is on fire, where can they escape to?

Only Kira-kun, from the very beginning, never thought of running away, but instead addressed the problem at its root:

Since natural disasters disrupt his peaceful life, then let's eliminate them.

Without a doubt, evil spirits are such a natural disaster.

They will never stop killing; instead, they will gradually spread to the whole world. They are a true 'natural disaster'!

That's why Kira trained the god named 'Twilight' to protect the school's safety.

That's why Kira saved them, because their deaths would only strengthen the evil spirits and cause even greater disasters.

In other words.

Kira Yoshikage's 'rescue' of them was perhaps just a side effect.

His goal was to end the natural disasters that were disturbing his peaceful life; as for their 'salvation,' it was merely incidental.

So Kira saved them repeatedly, but never thought of getting anything in return from them.

It's not because he doesn't seek anything in return, but because he simply doesn't care whether there's a return or not.

A hunter killed a wolf in the forest and rescued a little white rabbit from its jaws.

Would the hunter try to get something in return from the little white rabbit?

No, he won't.

The hunter killed the wolf because it might attack his home at night.

As for what happens to the little white rabbit, that's never within the hunter's consideration.

only……

The girl's feelings were complicated. She bit her cherry-colored lips tightly and murmured to herself:

"Won't such a peaceful life be lonely?"

The storm caused floods that would submerge the entire city, but Kira-kun dispersed the dark clouds before the storm hit, allowing the sun to shine on the earth.

People only see the sun emerging from the clouds, but they don't see the person who dispelled the clouds.

Even if Kira's initial intention was selfish, he simply wanted to protect his peaceful life.

But wasn't he, in fact, a hero who saved the city?

But no one will remember him.

He had no like-minded companions, no gratitude or cheers; those he saved would not offer him wreaths, nor would he be surrounded by crowds.

The only thing that always stayed by his side was loneliness.

"Hey, Kira-kun."

The girl asked gently, "Do you like birds?"

"bird?"

Yoshikage Kira pondered for a moment, then answered seriously:

"I like birds like thrushes, warblers, and canaries, which are cute and have melodious voices, but I don't like crows."

As if in response, the clear, melodious chirping of birds echoed through the woods. The birdsong wasn't noisy; instead, it complemented the tranquility of the forest, allowing Yoshikage Kira to relax completely. He thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

"Hmm~ So, Kira-kun, what kind of bird do I look like?"

"The oriole, perhaps."

"is it beautiful?"

"Very beautiful, with vibrant plumage and a melodious song."

"Well then, Kira-kun... ahh..."

The girl used her palms to support herself on the ground and struggled to get up. She then quickly leaned over Kira Yoshikage and placed her other hand on the tree trunk.

Perhaps due to excessive force, the girl's soft, delicate body was almost pressed against his chest, their cheeks nearly touching. Clearly, this distance was completely unexpected for the girl, as evidenced by her gasp and the blush that quickly spread across her pretty face.

Even so, she did not back down.

After all, how could we possibly back down now?

Having already made up her mind, the girl stopped hesitating and, suppressing her shyness, moved even closer.

Kira Yoshikage was so close he could smell her faint fragrance. The girl's long eyelashes gently brushed against his cheek, as if whispering tenderness. As she spoke, her warm breath pressed tightly against his face.

The girl's shyness was palpable; her cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed, and she blinked dozens of times more often than usual out of embarrassment.

But her voice wasn't quiet, because she was worried that Yoshikage Kira wouldn't be able to hear her.

"So, Kira-kun, would you mind if orioles nested in your tree?"

Kira Yoshikage could, of course, understand the girl's words, which were almost a confession.

But he didn't rush to respond; instead, he looked thoughtful.

Well, of course I don't mind. A peaceful life sometimes needs a little spice, and the melodious chirping of the oriole is a good treat. If he builds his nest in the treetop, he can enjoy a delicious meal every day.

but……

Yoshikage Kira suddenly spoke:

Did you know that most orioles are resident birds?

"Huh?"

The girl blinked, not quite understanding why she was saying all this at this time, or if it had anything to do with her confession.

This is a confession of love!

This might be the only time she ever confesses her feelings in her life!

Why are we talking about unrelated things?

Seeing the girl's confused and aggrieved expression, Yoshikage Kira continued to explain:

"Birds can be divided into three types: resident birds, migratory birds, and transient birds."

“Resident birds do not migrate and stay in the same area all year round. Most resident birds will never leave their nesting area for their entire lives.”

“Migratory birds migrate in different seasons. They may come to build nests occasionally, but they do not stay in one area for long.”

“Migratory birds only stop here briefly to rest and replenish their food before continuing their migration once they are full of energy.”

"I'm a resident bird!"

The girl understood his implication, but her gentle voice carried a resolute tone: "My activity range is very small; I only have one large tree where I can nest!"

"Orioles are mostly solitary birds, but there are many in the treetops."

Upon hearing Kira Yoshikage's hint, the girl's eyes immediately turned resentful. "Because there are so many treetops, different birds can build nests there, right?"

How greedy!

Is this meant to discourage her from giving up?

Indeed, many birds cannot accept nesting in the same tree as other birds.

But!

She won't give up!

"Won't there be flocks of orioles too?"

Yes.

"I am."

The girl's answer was resolute, and her gaze as she looked down at Yoshikage Kira was filled with tenderness.

"If it hadn't been caught by the treetop, the oriole would have fallen to its death long ago. So she only humbly hoped to build her nest in the treetop, never having the extravagant desire to occupy the entire tree all to herself."

"Won't you regret it, Nino?"

"will not!"

The girl answered immediately, but quickly sensed something was wrong. Her eyes widened slightly, her expression somewhat flustered, yet she forced herself to remain calm. "What, Nino?"

"Do you want me to call you Miku?"

Kira Yoshikage asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm~"

The girl's body went limp, and if it weren't for her hand supporting her, she would have almost collapsed shyly into Kira Yoshikage's arms, whispering, "Hey, Kira-kun, how did you figure that out?"

No one knows each other better than the five sisters.

They can perfectly impersonate their sisters if they want to.

If it was her disguised as Miku, even Ichika and Satsuki wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

But how was Kira able to recognize her? Even if he recognized that she wasn't Miku, how did he accurately guess that she was Nino?

Yoshikage Kira did not answer, his gaze lingering on the girl's palm.

They are indeed quintuplets, looking exactly alike in both appearance and build, with virtually no difference. Even among quintuplets, their palm prints and fingerprints might be very similar, but they are definitely not identical.

He may not know the Nakano Five Sisters well, but no one knows their hands better than him!

Kira Yoshikage withdrew his gaze, fully aware that his preferences were indeed somewhat niche. After a moment's thought, he replied:

"It's probably because of her personality; Miku wouldn't be as bold as you. Among the quintuplets, you're the only one who can be this bold."
