The way he navigated the computer was very strange. He used his right index finger to gently tap the up and down keys. "L." An old man wearing a wide hat and a windbreaker walked in. "Have you decided which case you want to investigate?" "Um..." The boy called L chewed his fingernails and said thoughtfully. "The mysterious 'mask' in Kyoto and the serial deaths of criminals and ex-offenders in Tokyo... It's really hard to choose. Both sides sound very interesting." The old man smiled, took out his mobile phone, opened a picture and handed it to L. “Maybe after reading this, you’ll know how to decide.” L took the phone and saw the photo on the screen. A strange light appeared in the depths of his eyes.
On the screen was a photo of an alley wall. Lying beside it was a man's torn body. On the wall, a message was written in blood. "L, as the world's number one detective, are you capable of stopping me?" "I'm in Tokyo, looking forward to fighting you." "I am the absolute justice." "Signed: KIRA." 136 Sakurajima Mai's mother's sudden visit, the awakening of the soul's embodiment While Light Yagami completely attracted L's attention to Tokyo in a way that was almost like a self-destructing truck... Kyoto's number one exorcist, enjoying a nighttime walk with Mai Sakurajima. "Come to my house today?" Mai Sakurajima tucked her hair by her ears with her right hand, dangling her left hand by the corner of her clothes, and smiled gently. "You don't have much food at home. If you come to my house, I can make you a midnight snack." "walk slowly." Seeing Ye Xing's nonchalant look, Sakurajima Mai suddenly stopped, looked a little angry, and puffed up her cheeks cutely. "what happened?" Seeing Ye Xing staring at her with a smile on his face, Sakurajima Mai's pretty face turned slightly red. She stomped her feet in anger and stretched out her white left hand as if to show off. "Do I have to say it?" "what?"
Ye Xing was stunned for a moment, then as if he suddenly realized something, he took out a banknote from his arms and put it in Sakurajima Mai's hand. "Here, this is a gift from the master. Keep it." After Sakurajima Mai took the money, she realized it belatedly and her chest heaved with anger. She subconsciously wanted to tear up the banknote in her hand, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally put it in her arms with a reluctant look on her face. If you are angry with Ye Xing, you cannot take it out on money. How much food can I buy with this money and how many meals can I cook for Ye Xing? Besides, tearing up banknotes is illegal. After carefully putting the money away, Sakurajima Mai complained angrily. "What master? What reward? You really think of me as your cook, don't you?" Yexing shrugged and chuckled. "Then what do you think of me? Xingn..." "No nonsense!" Sakurajima Mai knew Ye Xing too well. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, she knew he was going to say something outrageous, so she quickly raised her hand and tried to cover his mouth. Before she could do anything, Ye Xing grabbed her hand and smiled. "I'm just teasing you. Of course I know what you mean. Holding hands." Sakurajima Mai held his hand, and the slight resentment that had just arisen in her heart was immediately washed away by the sweetness. She pretended to be very calm and snorted softly. "Humph, you still know something. Let's go home." The corners of Mai Sakurajima's lips are harder to suppress than AK. As they walked, she went from holding hands at the beginning to hugging Yexing's whole arm. It was already nearly two o'clock in the morning, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road. Even if someone noticed the two of them, they would not deliberately look at Mai Sakurajima's appearance, but would just think they were a couple immersed in happiness. Although Sakurajima Mai doesn't like staying up late, she thinks it's nice to enjoy the time of walking on the street together like this occasionally. The only pity is... Sakurajima Mai took a quick glance at Ye Xing's profile under the dim street lights, and thought shyly in her heart. Unfortunately, Saki Kawasaki hasn't finished making the costume yet. Otherwise tonight... Thinking of this, Sakurajima Mai suddenly remembered that she needed someone to help measure the size of each part. Just when she was about to ask Ye Xing to help her, she suddenly saw a woman wearing a suit, with long black hair, and looking very capable standing at the bottom of her apartment building. The moment she saw the other person's face clearly, Sakurajima Mai was stunned.
"Come back so late?" The woman, wearing high heels, walked slowly to Sakurajima Mai. There was a look of nervousness in Sakurajima Mai's eyes. Seeing that the other party was staring at the part of her arm that was holding Ye Xing, she subconsciously wanted to let go. But after calming down, she not only did not let go of Ye Xing's arm, but hugged him even tighter. "Ok?" Seeing that Sakurajima Mai did not let go and did not explain, the woman's eyes flashed with some strangeness. She looked at Ye Xing and spoke slowly. "I'm Mai Sakurajima's mother and her agent. May I ask who you are?" Hearing her mother's question, Sakurajima Mai unconsciously applied a little more force to the place where she was holding Yexing's arm. From the moment they met, everything seemed to be a natural progression. It seems like there has never been a real relationship. Given Ye Xing's personality, he wouldn't say something very abstract to his mother at this time, right? "My name is Yexing, I'm Mai Sakurajima's junior and also her boyfriend." When she heard the word "boyfriend", Mai Sakurajima's mother frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy. She looked at her daughter and said seriously. "Mai, don't you understand that falling in love will have a huge impact on your acting career..." Mai Sakurajima raised her hand to stop her mother from speaking next. She glanced at Ye Xing beside her, her eyes full of tenderness, and spoke softly. "Wait for me for a moment, I'll take care of it right away." "it is good." Mai Sakurajima let go of Yexing's arm, took two steps forward, and looked directly at her mother. At this moment, she seemed to muster up all her courage and spoke word by word. “Maybe one day, I will continue to be an actor.” Hearing this, before her mother could even speak, Sakurajima Mai changed the subject and her attitude became very serious, even tough. "But the agent will definitely not be you." "Besides, Yexing is my lover." "Even if it would have a serious impact on my acting career, I would never break up with him or hide the news." "That's all I have to say." "Please don't disturb my life anymore."
After saying this, watching her mother stunned at first, and then gradually becoming unbelievable, as if she didn't believe that she dared to say such things to her in such a tough tone, Sakurajima Mai directly grabbed Ye Xing's hand and ran towards the apartment building. After entering the elevator and watching the two metal doors gradually close, Mai Sakurajima breathed a sigh of relief. "Not bad." Hearing Ye Xing's smiling praise, Sakurajima Mai raised her head and said with a little pride. "Of course, this is how a mature senior handles things. You should watch carefully and learn from it." Mai Sakurajima had wanted to tell her mother what she just said. My acting career is not a tool for my mother to win her favor. Mai Sakurajima likes acting, or rather, she likes the meaning that she can bring to others by being an actor. But now, she has found something more meaningful. Fight against weirdness and protect Kyoto City. Just as Sakurajima Mai opened her lips and was about to say something else, a woman's chuckling voice suddenly sounded in her mind. "Have you finally made up your mind?" As the woman's voice rang out, the lights in the elevator began to flicker. “As long as it’s something you want to do, don’t be constrained by anyone else’s ideas.” "It doesn't matter if it's a mother, a father, or a crazy fan." "The Sakurajima Mai in these people's eyes is a part of you." “There’s no need to make a distinction.” "From now on, act on what you want." "Here, call out my true name." Listening to the voice echoing in her mind, Sakurajima Mai's delicate face seemed to be covered by a thin layer of mist under the flickering lights of the elevator. She took a deep breath, slightly opened her pink lips, and spoke softly. "Here, I will call out your true name." "Break free, Suzuhiko-hime!" The moment she called out the three words "Suzuhikohime", Sakurajima Mai felt the same feeling that Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio had once experienced. There seems to be a heavy iron chain in my heart. And right now. The lock is broken. A beautiful woman wearing a light pink gauze skirt, dressed like a dancer, with a hair accessory like a jade ring with a few bells tied on it, with a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and fair skin, appeared behind Sakurajima Mai.
"finally..." Mai Sakurajima looked a little tired, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed. "I finally... awakened the ability to materialize my soul." With her mother's sudden visit today, Sakurajima Mai finally broke through the last barrier in her heart and faced her true self. As an idol actress, there is not only pressure from her mother, but also the admiration and love of many fans. For Mai Sakurajima, these are shackles that bind her. She once thought that all this could be solved if the world could forget about "Sakurajima Mai".
