Death Note

　　At 7 am.

　　Ryota yawned, and turned his gaze to the French window in the hotel lobby.

　　Morning light awakens the sleeping city, followed by joy and prosperity.

　　After staying up all night, he still didn't wait for the person to take the task.

　　"Is this reliable or not?"

　　A little complaint came out of Ryota's mouth.

　　Of course, complaints are complaints.

　　It was naturally impossible for him to cancel the task.

　　Presumably, guild members wouldn't pay attention to the task list when they didn't need points, and even if they did, they wouldn't look too late.

　　Moreover, the flow of time in different worlds seems to be different...

　　After combining various factors, one could draw a conclusion – how long one could wait to take up the task depended entirely on luck.

　　It's not out of the question that no one takes even with bad luck.

　　(Forget it, I have to be patient, let's have breakfast first.)

　　After comforting himself in his heart, Ryota got up from the couch and walked out of the lobby.

　　On the street outside the hotel, people were already coming and going.

　　Rush hour in Tokyo begins gradually at 6:30 a.m., so Ryota is not surprised to see the crowds rushing about.

　　Soon, he came to a convenience store.

　　While there are no breakfast shops on the streets of Japan, basically everything is in a 24-hour convenience store.

Using his pocket money to buy a few cartons of milk, croquettes and some steamed buns, Ryota returns to where he belongs.

　　When he was half way, suddenly, a white light entered his vision.

　　The light was fleeting, as if it had never appeared before.

　　Ryota was stunned at first, and then immediately understood what was happening.

　　He already had two teleportation experiences, so he was no stranger to this.

　　——Someone was teleported by the guild.

　　He looked carefully, and a petite girl appeared in front of him.

　　The golden twin ponytail hair swayed slightly, and the girl looked very cute, wearing a gothic style outfit.

　　It gives the impression of an idol going out to participate in public activities.

　　At first glance it looks very dynamic.

　　Surprisingly, the sight of this great change in life did not cause the astonishment of the crowd around her.

　　It was as if everyone thought the girl had been here before.

　　But her cute appearance and trendy dress have caught the attention of many workers.

　　"Hello, are you the client?"

　　Upon seeing Ryota, the girl took two steps closer and asked loudly:

　　"Shiro-san?"

　　Only Ryota expressed his surprise at his appearance, this person must be the right person – Amane Misa judged in his heart.

　　"Yes, right." Ryota nodded. "Just call me Shiro, no need to add honorifics, how about you? How do you call me?"

　　The girl smiled slightly, and as her dimples appeared, she said her name:

　　"Amane Misa. You can directly call me Misa, I don't mind."

　　"...The one from the Death Note?"

　　"What?"

　　"Ahem... It's fine."

　　Realizing that he had slipped his tongue, Ryota quickly changed the subject and said:

　　"Misa, nice to meet you. By the way, you're supposed to be helping me with the age investigation assignment, right?"

　　"Yes." Misa looked at Ryota strangely "Didn't you issue the task yourself? Why do you need to confirm it again?"

　　"I released two tasks in total," Ryota explained: "One is an age probe, and the other is variable control."

　　"Variable control?"

　　"A bit complicated to explain..."

　　Ah, then Misa wont listen.

　　Misa interrupts Ryota suddenly, and asks:

　　"Are you injured? The one on the arm?"

　　She pointed at Ryota's bandaged right arm.

　　"Don't worry, it's almost cured, and it will probably be dismantled in a day or two."

　　Ryota shook his right hand, signaling that he was fine.

　　"That's good. By the way, is it really a different world? I always felt that there wasn't much difference from my side… No, there wasn't any difference at all. This is Japan, right? I looked around the trademarks all in Japan."

　　"Um, Tokyo, Japan." Ryota nodded "Tokyo, Japan in a different world."

　　"Tokyo..."

　　Misa looks at Ryota carefully, and says in surprise:

　　"Are you really Japan? Shiro, your height is quite rare in Japan."

　　"...Let's talk about the mission first."

　　Ryota didn't answer this question directly, and instead returned to the topic which was gradually distorted.

　　He had recognized the girl's identity.

　　Amane Misa——The character in the work [Death Note], can be considered as a heroine, even though her role is not much.

　　[Death Note] is a work of intelligence. It tells the story of Ryuk, a Shinigami who throws away a death notebook capable of controlling death in the world, and is taken in by the protagonist, Light Yagami. From then on, Yagami uses the book's power to eradicate criminals while clashing wits and courage with the mysterious detective L ... maybe the plot goes something like this.

　　As the heroine, Misa also holds a [Death Note].

　　And by sacrificing half of her own lifespan, she gained the ability to see through other people's names and life spans.

　　It could be said that her ability matched the task issued by Ryota almost perfectly.

　　No wonder she dared to take the commission alone.

　　"Hah? Just came to talk about the task?"

　　After hearing Ryota's words, Misa had a helpless expression on her face:

　　"Okay, tell me, what are we going to do next?"

　　The girl looked around, and a large number of pedestrians appeared in her field of vision.

　　She said with doubt on her face:

　　"Is the person you want to investigate the age of among these people?"

　　"No." Ryota explained: "I made an appointment with my target in the afternoon, but it's only 7 in the morning, and there's still more than six hours."

　　"Long time."

　　Hearing this, Misa not only didn't reject it, but also became a little excited:

　　"Then can I go around? I want to see what Tokyo is like in a different world."

　　"It's almost the same as yours." Ryota shook his head. "Let's just roam around. I'm in a state where I can't walk around and I have to reduce my range of activities. If I wander around rashly, very dangerous things will happen."

　　After a pause, he reminded:

　　"Our world is not as peaceful and peaceful as it seems on the surface. There are dangers everywhere. I suggest you act with me."

　　"Is it true? You wouldn't lie to me just for convenience, right?"

　　Misa makes a suspicious look.

　　At this time, another white light suddenly flashed.

　　Both of them were interested at the same time and turned their heads to look.

　　Ahead of the line of sight, two figures were brought into this world by a white light.

　　As before, there was no fuss.

　　It seems that the transmission function of the guild system is inherently secret.

　　"Oh? My other task were also taken over?"

　　Ryota took a closer look, and saw a man and a woman coming here.

　　The boy was a young man who looked to be around 18 years old, with white hair and red pupils, a thin figure, an indifferent face, and a calm temperament emanating from his body, which reminded Ryota of Inaho.

　　As for that girl… At first glance, she was only around 10 years old, and she was really a little girl.

　　Her long and crimson hair was mostly covered by a hood, and she looked a bit dark at first glance. Her delicate face was like a doll, and her figure was extremely petite. She was quiet, revealing a sense of calm, temperament.

　　Currently, a man and a woman were holding hands, and their relationship was very close.

　　None of their clothes were modern, and they looked rather stark in keeping with their surroundings.

　　Or maybe it's like coming to a manga convention.

　　Ryota showed surprise.

　　Of course, he wasn't surprised that the tasks were taken over by two people, and the tasks in the task module could have been completed in one team.

　　He just thought that the two of them looked… A little familiar?
