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

Page 266

Yoshikage Kira lowered his head, looking directly into the girl's eyes:

"mio".

"exist."

Akiyama Mio tensed up nervously. Would Kira-kun give her a direct answer, or would he use other tactics to deceive her?

Regardless, she just needs a response.

Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?

"what……"

Akiyama Mio's mind went blank. Is that how it's calculated?

Just kidding.

Yoshikage Kira smiled and ruffled her hair. "You don't really need to worry about these things."

Akiyama Mio broke free from his caresses, her voice slightly agitated:

"No, I care a lot! Please don't try to fool me!"

Kira Yoshikage looked directly into the girl's glistening eyes and asked softly:

"So, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Ah."

Kira Yoshikage looked up at the spots in the sky and said softly:

"Mio, do you know what a collector is?"

"Some people like stamp collecting, some like flower collecting, and some like collecting meaningless things. These are all forms of collecting addiction."

"Some people believe that collecting is a form of compensatory psychology. For example, some people lacked toys when they were young, so they collect toys like crazy when they grow up. Others often suffered from hunger when they were young, so they hoard large amounts of food."

"This explanation can be extended further. Some people like to read doujinshi about younger sisters and play games featuring younger sisters, but they often don't actually have a younger sister. Similarly, some people like to read doujinshi about older sisters and play games featuring older sisters, but they often don't actually have an older sister. Their passion is often based solely on their idealized fantasies about older or younger sisters."

"Sometimes, a simple collecting habit can turn into a morbid possessiveness. For example, many people with collecting habits tend to be very slovenly, and the most famous example is probably Jack the Ripper, or rather, the Jack the Ripper as people imagine him."

"In one version of the legend, Jack the Ripper was killed before she was born, and she was formed from the resentment of tens of thousands of babies who were rejected at birth."

"At first, she couldn't help but call out 'Mom' to a woman she met, but was met with ruthless insults. She felt very sad and killed that woman, as well as many other women."

"She killed the prostitutes because most of the aborted children were born to prostitutes. She would remove their wombs in the hope that the children would return to their mothers' wombs."

"I think I'm probably sick. Whenever I see something beautiful, I can't help but want to possess it."

"In fact, everyone has a possessive desire, no one is an exception, but they often don't put it into practice. Some lack courage, some lack ability, and some restrain themselves because of their peaceful life and the public order and good customs of society."

Akiyama Mio pursed her lips slightly. Kira-kun is neither lacking in courage nor in ability.

and so……

The girl murmured softly, "Kira-kun has been holding back all along?"

"Maybe so, otherwise I would have kidnapped every pair of...every pretty girl I saw and imprisoned her in the basement."

After a pause, Yoshikage Kira smiled again:

"Just kidding, actually my family doesn't have a basement, or even our own house."

"However, a person's possessiveness doesn't arise from restraint. I can restrain my desires because I want to maintain a peaceful life. But if a beautiful girl were to come to me, I don't think I could refuse."

"so……"

Yoshikage Kira said very seriously, "I probably really need to work harder to buy a house that's big enough."

"I see."

Akiyama Mio's gaze grew increasingly complex. So, will there be more and more of these in the future?

So……

The girl stepped forward and gently took Kira Yoshikage's hand.

But when Kira Yoshikage looked over, she shyly looked away, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness:

"So, even if one more of me were to happen, it wouldn't make a difference, right?"

She wasn't doing this for herself; she was doing it to prevent those poor girls from being kidnapped by Kira-kun!

That's right, that's it!

This is self-sacrifice, not self-gratification!

Chapter 168 But isn't this even worse?!

Minato Ward, Koyasu's luxury apartment.

"Yin Cai, would you like some black tea?"

Zian Yan tiptoed up and took out a tea set from a high cabinet, asking gently.

"I also can."

Amano Hina replied somewhat reservedly.

The black-haired girl sat with her buttocks pressed against the back of the sofa, her hands folded on her knees, her posture unusually restrained, as if she were afraid of dirtying the apartment furniture.

"Don't be so nervous~"

Zian Yan walked over with a cup of black tea, squatted down and handed it to her, gently comforting her, "Just treat this place as your home."

"Thank you."

Amano Hina picked up the black tea and thanked him softly, while muttering to herself:

“My house isn’t that big.”

Even when their mother was still alive, they lived a very frugal life.

After all, it's a single-parent family, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

The girl's thoughts were incredibly complex, but at that moment, a warm little hand gently covered hers, and the girl with pink hair and long bangs softly comforted her:

"So, there's no need to be so nervous. I live alone, so I don't have to worry about anyone disturbing me."

Do you live alone?

Hina Amano was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, because my dad is a regional manager for a large catering company. He's very busy with work, so he always lives near the company."

"Then this apartment..."

Hina Amano subconsciously looked up and surveyed the luxurious apartment in front of her.

Zian Yan smiled and explained:

"It's a rented apartment, for my convenience when going to school."

Amano Hina couldn't understand. Generally speaking, shouldn't people try to choose a school that is close to home?

She asked cautiously:

"Um, where does Sister Zi'an go to school?"

Shuchiin Academy.

"..."

The girl immediately fell silent.

Sorry to bother you, she shouldn't have asked that.

Zian Yan sat down next to her, her eyes filled with tenderness:

"Anyway, you can stay here for now. Although it's called a maid position, the work is actually very easy. It involves housework and preparing meals, etc. How about that? It's simple, right?"

It's not just simple, it's incredibly simple.

It was so simple that she wondered why anyone would hire a junior high school student like her for a monthly salary of 20.

and so.

It must be out of pity.

Although it sounds like she's being given charity, Hina Amano doesn't feel humiliated.

If this is considered humiliation, then let this humiliation come even more fiercely!

Because she really needs this job right now, she will accept it with gratitude, whether it's charity or pity!

The Kotobuki family's luxurious villa.

The five little ones, who had just returned from next door, were changing into their indoor shoes in the entryway when Yui Hirasawa suddenly spoke thoughtfully:

"Speaking of which, don't you guys think Kira-kun and μ's have a good relationship?"

Ritsu Tainaka couldn't help but complain:

"You're only just realizing this?"

Isn't this obvious? Why do you still need to 'think' about it?

So, just how slow-witted are you?!

"It's very good."

Boqi-chan lowered her head and muttered to herself.

It's really too much that he pretends to be so aloof when his interpersonal relationships are so complicated!

Kotobuki Tsumugi asked gently:

Why would Yui think that way?

Hirasawa Yui said matter-of-factly:

"Because Kira-kun actually cooked dinner for them, and he's such a good cook! Even we don't get this kind of treatment!"
