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

"Is there a mistake?"

"It can't be wrong." Yoshikage Kira said with great certainty.

Not to boast, but when it comes to discerning right from wrong, his eyes are like a ruler!

"And what about me? And what about me?"

Kitagawa Kaimu looked on with anticipation.

After a moment of silence, Yoshikage Kira finally gave his answer:

"You're just an ordinary person."

Kitagawa Kaimu puffed out her cheeks slightly, and asked in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced:

"Then why did you only realize it today?"

Yoshikage Kira said earnestly:

"Perhaps it's because I only realized your true capabilities today."

"Hmm~"

Miura Yumiko and Kitagawa Haimu blushed. So how could you tell when they were doing something like this? Does your House of Representatives have a DNA testing function?

Hai Meng asked softly:

"So, Yumiko can also become an Onmyoji?"

"Correct."

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly. "The ability to see ghosts, or 'spiritual vision,' is the key to distinguishing ordinary people from psychics. Those who can see ghosts are not necessarily qualified to become psychics, but those who cannot see ghosts are definitely not qualified."

"what about me?"

Yumiko's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

Yoshikage Kira answered seriously:

"You not only have it, but you have a lot of it."

"Hmm~"

Yumiko blushed, but Haimeng leaned in somewhat resentfully, her tone a little resentful:

"Mine is clearly bigger!"

Is Yumiko's size considered big?

That's clearly A, isn't it!

You clearly had more fun when you were playing with me!

I'm talking about talent.

Yoshikage Kira shook his head helplessly and continued to explain, "Japanese psychics are mainly divided into two categories: one is the Onmyoji of the Shinto world, and the other is the sorcerer of the sorcery world."

"Because during the Heian period, the peak of Onmyoji, the most famous Onmyoji in history, Abe no Seimei, was born. The Tsuchimikado family is the direct descendant of Abe no Seimei and is the undisputed number one family in the Shinto world. It is no exaggeration to say that everything the Shinto world has today is inseparable from the Tsuchimikado family."

"For hundreds of years, from the Kamakura period to the Meiji era, the Onmyoryo, which oversaw all Onmyoryo practitioners in Japan, was controlled by the Tsuchimikado family. Most of the powerful Onmyoryo practitioners who emerged during these centuries were also closely related to the Tsuchimikado family, either from the main Tsuchimikado family or from a branch of the Tsuchimikado family."

"So even though the Tsuchimikado family has long since declined, they have still left behind an extremely rich legacy for the Shinto world. The vast majority of the various shikigami and techniques used in the Shinto world today were developed by the Tsuchimikado family."

"Even though the Tsuchimikado family has declined, its influence is still active in various parts of the Shinto world. For example, the head of the Kurahashi family, Kurahashi Genji, is the head of the Onmyō-e (Yin-Yang Agency), and the older generation, Kurahashi Miyo, is also the head of the Onmyō-e (Yin-Yang Academy). The Kurahashi family was originally a branch of the Tsuchimikado family."

Miura Yumiko couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"But I've never heard of this before. Both my father and mother are just ordinary people. How could they be related to the Tsuchimikado family, which rules over Onmyoji?"

Hai Meng blinked:

"Maybe they're keeping it from you?"

"impossible."

Yumiko Miura shook her head slightly and whispered, "Even if they kept it from me, it's impossible for them to leave no trace, right?"

"This is actually quite normal."

Yoshikage Kira paused for a moment and gave an example:

"You've all read Harry Potter, right? Just like the pure-blood families in Harry Potter, even the Tsuchimikado family has 'Squibs.' These Squibs may not have the talent to become Onmyoji, but they still have the blood of the Tsuchimikado family in their veins."

"Over the past few centuries, the number of Squibs born from the main and branch families of the Tsuchimikado family alone has been at least a hundred."

"These people cannot stay in the Tsuchimikado family, cannot inherit the Tsuchimikado surname, and are not even allowed to mention their relationship with the family. But their bloodline will still spread, although the probability of their descendants becoming Onmyoji is very small, it is not impossible, it is about one in a thousand, which is slightly higher than the probability of ordinary people awakening."

"And Yumiko, your ancestor must have been a Squib in the Tsuchimikado family in some generation, and you are that one in a thousand accident!"

Chapter 144 Shiina Mahiru: You're committing a crime!

Early morning, Apartment 503.

The girl with long, straight, flaxen hair opened the door and glanced at the closed door of room 502 next door.

no doubt.

She almost suffered from insomnia again last night.

The reason he was able to get up so early was thanks to Yoshikage Kira returning relatively early.

He didn't seem to be coming home late from work as usual yesterday; instead, he returned to his apartment around nine o'clock. Because of this, even after three hours of being bombarded with calls, it was only early the next morning.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get up so early.

"call!"

Shiina Mahiru took a deep breath, clenched her small fist, and silently encouraged herself, "This time, I must make things clear with him!"

"It's okay, Kira-kun isn't a bad person... right?"

The girl who was going downstairs paused slightly, her eyes showing a strangely subtle expression.

Her family relationship was complicated. Her father and mother had no feelings for each other and were forced into marriage for the sake of family interests. She was born from a chance encounter during a one-night stand.

As for their daughter, Shiina Mahiru, who was born unexpectedly, her parents' attitude wasn't exactly one of indifference, but rather one of complete apathy. She was raised entirely by the family's servants, rarely having the opportunity to spend time with her parents.

As a child, she was naive and thought that as long as she was obedient enough, she could get her parents' attention. So she deliberately presented herself as a gentle, well-behaved, and virtuous 'angel'. But no matter how well-behaved and cute she was, her parents never gave her a second glance.

In their eyes, the girl named Shiina Mahiru is not their daughter, but merely an accident.

By the time Shiina Mahiru entered junior high school, she had gradually come to understand her situation and realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could never win her parents' love.

So when she graduated from junior high school, she did not follow her parents' wishes to attend the private girls' school they had chosen, but instead secretly applied to Shuchiin Academy. Her parents never questioned Shiina Mahiru's choice from the very beginning.

They didn't care about the girl's choices or her future.

Even though her father rented a luxury apartment for her, it was only because he thought that living too poorly would bring shame to the family.

Shiina Mahiru neither resisted nor accepted her father's arrangement.

She quietly sublet the luxury apartment while applying to the school for a spot in a student apartment.

Because the rent for a student apartment is only 6 yen per month, while the rent for a luxury apartment is 76 yen.

To make it easier to resell, Shiina Mahiru chose to rent out the apartment for 41 yen, which would give her a monthly income of 35 yen. If you include her monthly living expenses of 20 yen, her monthly income would be 55 yen.

This money was enough for Shiina Mahiru to live a good life, but she didn't spend it extravagantly. She knew that her parents would eventually abandon her completely, and that timeframe would most likely be after she graduated from high school.

Therefore, she must start saving money now to plan for the future.

After deducting her fixed monthly living expenses of 20 yen, she can save about 35 yen, which adds up to 1260 million yen over three years.

While 1260 million yen may seem like a lot, it is enough to cover her tuition and living expenses for four years of university.

According to data Shiina Mahiru found online, the average tuition fee for four years at a Japanese national university is around 3 million yen. If we calculate annual living expenses at 100,000 yen for rent and 100,000 yen for fixed expenses, the total cost for four years would be 9.6 million yen.

In other words, by the time she graduated from university, she had no money left.

Of course, she could also work part-time during her university years, and she should have been able to save at least three million yuan in four years.

This amount of money isn't enough to support her continued postgraduate studies, so she needs to find a job immediately after graduating from university. Three million yuan, if used sparingly, can probably last her a year, so as long as she finds a job within a year, her future will be secure.

of course.

This is under the premise that everything is safe, no one gets sick, and no accidents occur.

Regardless, the girl has a comprehensive plan for her future that is quite remarkable for a student.

Ideally, she doesn't want any unexpected events to happen in her life.

And often, these decisions are not made by her, but by the people around her.

So from the moment she moved into the student apartment, she kept getting to know her neighbors, especially the residents of rooms 502 and 501, whom she paid particular attention to.

The resident of 501 is her classmate, Fujimiya Shu, who is introverted, not good at speaking, and usually leaves early and returns early. He has always been a key member of the home-staying club.

Shiina Mahiru's assessment of him was: safe.

Although staying at home all the time is not a good habit, at least it won't bother others, and Shiina Mahiru doesn't think she has the right to judge other people's lifestyles.

The resident of room 502 is Yoshikage Kira, a first-year student in Class C.

From the moment he enrolled, there were rumors that Yoshikage Kira was a delinquent, and Mahiru Shiina was worried about it for quite some time.

According to her observations, Yoshikage Kira always left early and returned late, not getting home until at least 10:30 PM. This kind of lifestyle made it hard not to wonder what he did every night.

However, such suspicion did not last long, because Shiina Mahiru accidentally overheard Hiratsuka Shizuka, the homeroom teacher of Class C, complaining to other teachers that a student had refused the work-study opportunity she offered, and that student was none other than Kira Yoshikage.

It was from Ms. Hiratsuka that Shiina Mahiru learned the truth about the matter:

Yoshikage Kira was not the delinquent youth the rumors suggested; in fact, a true delinquent could not possibly gain admission to Shuchiin Academy on merit. The reason he left early and returned late every day was because he had been working part-time to save up for next year's tuition.

Unlike her, who, although not loved by her parents, still had family support, Yoshikage Kira was an orphan. Not only did she have to pay for her daily living expenses, but she also had to pay for her own tuition.

If he can't raise enough tuition fees this year, he might even be expelled from school next year because he can't afford to pay them.

In this situation, his only option is to make full use of all his spare time to work, which means he has to work from early morning to late at night.

When Shiina Mahiru learned the truth, she felt a pang of shame. Knowing nothing of the facts, she had acted with such suspicion towards Kira Yoshikage based solely on rumors—wasn't that just like other students who judged by appearances?

This exam also gave her a deeper understanding of Yoshikage Kira, and completely changed her stereotypes about him.

True delinquents cannot get into Shuchiin Academy, but Yoshikage Kira not only got in, but also managed to achieve third place in his class and 99th place in the whole school, despite spending a lot of time working every day.

In a mixed college, this is already many times better than those students who only know how to waste their time!
