"Within the spreading darkness" "I pledged a vow to the revolution" "I can't let anybody interrupt it" "I'm going to change" "The future that the forbidden fruit foretells..." "I'm going to change" "The dream into reality" "The ending" "That everybody wants" "Within the spreading darkness" "I pledged our vow to the revolution" "I can't let anybody interrupt it" "Someday I'll show you" "A bright and ideal" "World" "ALLY" "Oh yeah!" "I gotta take off the belt." "What?" "Again?" "He'll just have to get used to our security system." "Enough!" "How's this?" "!" "Good morning!" "What happened to your forehead?" "Oh... this?" "Well, I had a fight with my wife and... my kid is still young..." "so it looks like I'll be commuting." "Yeah." "You should live at home." "What a waste..." "These rooms are amazing." "You should move here with your whole family." "Don't lump me in with a carefree bachelor like you." "Where's Ryuzaki?" "He's on a date, the three of them are in Misa-Misa's room." "Surveillance cameras, huh?" "Well, I guess it can't be helped since we believe that Amane might be involved with second Kira..." "And Matsuda, stop calling her Misa-Misa!" "Oh... yes." "Hey... this... doesn't feel like a date." "Pay no attention to me..." "Anyways, are you going to eat that piece of cake?" "Sweets are fattening, so I try not to eat them too much." "If you use your head, you can still eat sweets without gaining weight." "Hey!" "You're making fun of me again!" "I'll give you the cake." "So will you leave me alone with Light?" "Even if I leave you two alone," "I'll be watching with the surveillance cameras." "It's the same thing." "You pervert!" "Will you stop doing sick things?" "Call me whatever you like." "But I'm taking your cake." "Fine!" "I'll just close the curtains and turn off the lights." "We also have infrared cameras." "Changing the subject..." "Despite moving into fully equipped headquarters, you don't seem very enthusiastic, Ryuzaki." "Enthusiasm, huh?" "I don't have any Actually, I'm kind of depressed." "You're depressed?" "Yes..." "All this time I thought that you were Kira..." "I'm just shocked that my deduction was wrong." "But, I'm still suspicious of you, hence these." "Kira can control people's actions..." "In other words," "Kira was controlling you to make me suspect that you were Kira." "You and Misa were both controlled by Kira." "When I think about that, everything matches up..." "By that reasoning, Misa and I were controlled, but doesn't that still mean that we're Kira?" "Yes, I don't think I'm wrong about that." "You're both Kira." "I think that when you were confined, you were Kira." "And while you were confined, criminals stopped dying." "You were Kira until then, so it works out." "But after two weeks, criminals began dying again." "Based on that evidence," "I think Kira's power can pass from person to person." "That's an interesting idea." "But if that's true, it won't be easy to catch Kira." "Yes." "That's why I'm at a loss." "Even if we catch those under Kira's control," "Kira's powers will be passed on to others and the former will have no memory of their actions." "Which means that it's useless to catch anyone..." "But that's not definite yet." "So show some energy!" ""Energy?"" "I'm not feeling it." "Why bother?" "Trying hard to go after him just puts us in danger." "Don't you think so?" "Ryuzaki..." "Nooo!" "That hurt." "Stop messing around." "You don't feel like doing anything just because I wasn't Kira... and because your deduction was wrong?" "I may have phrased it wrong." "I meant it would be a waste for us to make a move, so we shouldn't..." "There's no way we can catch him if we don't chase him!" "Do you know how many innocent people you've involved in this case?" "!" "Besides that, you're the one who confined Misa and me!" "I know..." "But whatever the reason..." "An eye for an eye." "It's not that my deduction was wrong." "The fact is, the case isn't going to be solved simply as" ""Light Yagami is Kira" and "Misa Amane is the Second Kira. "" "So I'm a little disappointed." "I'm human." "That isn't allowed?" "No, it's not." "The way you talk... it's almost like you won't be satisfied unless I'm Kira..." ""| won't be satisfied unless you're Kira?"" "That may be true..." "I just realized..." "I wanted you to be Kira." "An eye... for an eye." "I'll have you know I'm quite strong." "Let's call the room and stop them!" " Yes?" " Please listen, Ryuzaki," "Misa-Misa is number one in Eighteen Magazine's reader popularity poll!" "Yes, I see..." "That means that it's been decided that she'll be starring as the heroine in the next ﬁIm by the director, Nishinaka!" "What's going on?" "Matsuda's being an idiot again." "Well, Matsuda is a natural at that." "I can hear you..." "TWO MONTHS LATER" "Ryuzaki..." "Ryuzaki, I know you're not into this but come over here for a second." "Take a good look at this." "Isn't it unbalanced?" "All three of them were prominent Japanese businessmen." "They all died of heart attacks." "As a result, Yotsuba's stock prices rose but the other companies' have plummeted." "In other words, they are deaths that are in Yotsuba's favor..." "Checking back, there've been as many as thirteen such cases in the past three months." "What do you think?" "I can only conclude that Kira is supporting Yotsuba." "Yes..." "But if that's true, then punishing criminals is not this Kira's true intent." "Yeah." "He's punishing criminals as a front and killing people for the benefit of this company." "What do you think?" "Do you feel a little more enthusiastic now?" "It's amusing how well this has gone, without arousing any suspicion..." "Yotsuba's benefits and stock prices have been increasing slowly, but steadily." "Yeah." "It's all proceeding according to our calculations." "I'm just worried about one thing." "Why did the three people we decided to kill last week die of heart attacks?" "I thought we decided that one of them was going to die from an accident?" "That was probably because we chose the accident to occur on the Coastal Bay Route." "At the appointed time, he wasn't at his home, but had snuck off to Italy with a woman." "In other words, if the request is impossible..." "Kira kills the person by heart attack." "It's like I told you last week." "If you request only accidental deaths and death by disease, they're finished in a natural way in the shortest amount of time." "Anyway, the police should be too busy investigating the deaths of criminals." "If someone could trace the deaths of those others back to us, he would be a god." "Besides, we've already taken precautions." "Chief!" "Oh, you too, Mogi!" "Thanks for all your hard work today!" "It's amazing!" "With Light's help, the theory that Kira is involved with the Yotsuba Group has become stronger." "Yotsuba?" "Yes..." "That's probably the case, Matsuda." "We just heard from the Director that Kira's offered bribes to politicians." "Kira said..." "As long as the police don't chase him... he won't lay a hand on any politicians." "The police caved in to Kira." "Mogi has already made up his mind, but..." "Aizawa, Matsuda... if you really still want to pursue Kira, then... turn in your letters of resignation to the NPA along with Mogi and me." "We can't seriously pursue Kira anymore unless you quit the NPA." "What do you mean?" "!" "It's simple." "We were told that we would be fired if we were to pursue Kira with L." "So then, Chief, you really..." "In a few hours, I'm no longer going to be your chief." "But you all have your own lives." "Please think hard before you make your decision." "That's right." "Especially those who are married and have children." "I think you all should remain police officers." "I was alone to begin with... and I'm grateful to all of you for sticking with me this far." "But I can do this by myself." "I'll be sure to visit you all at the police department and bring you Kira's head as a gift." "Ryuzaki!" "As long as I'm here, you won't be alone." "You have my promise!" "That's right." "I'll have Light working with me until I catch Kira." "But everyone else should go back to being police officers..." "But you told us that you needed the help of the police in this case." "That's because the police as an organization, didn't bow to Kira and hoped to arrest him." "I don't really think the help of two or three civilians who quit the police force can really count as the police." "Also, the police have decided that they don't want to catch Kira, so that's enough." "It's true we wouldn't be of much help not being police officers." "But what about our feelings?" "We've risked our lives to catch Kira." "We at least have the right to decide whether we stay here or go back to the NPA!" "I suppose you're right..." "Then decide which you want to do." "But Chief, if you quit the police force, you'll be unemployed." "Even if we catch Kira, what are you going to do afterwards?" "Afterwards, huh?" "I haven't thought about it, but after we catch Kira..." "I guess I'll be looking for another job." "I've decided!" "I'm going to quit the police force and pursue Kira!" "I still have to do my job as Misa-Misa's manager!" "Besides, if I went back to the NPA, I'd feel like a loser..." "Watch what you say, Matsuda." "How about if I stayed a police officer and helped you in my spare time?" "That's no good." "If you return to the NPA, please don't come back here." "I won't leak information..." "I won't give you any information." "As detectives, you are free to pursue Kira." "But I don't think it's right to give up your livelihoods and harm your families just to pursue Kira." "It's as Ryuzaki says." "No one will blame you if you quit." "That's right." "No one will think of you as a traitor!" "But Chief, you have a family, too..." "Our situations are different." "That's not fair." "I want to stay here, too." "I was prepared to die at any moment." "And if I quit here, how will I be able to face Ukita..." "Damn it!" "Why can't a detective with the NPA remain and pursue Kira?" "!" "Ryuzaki." "In case anything happened to a member of the task force, even if they were ﬁred from the NPA, you entrusted me to make preparations so that ﬁnancial support would be offered to their families, so that they would never be in need for the rest of their lives." "Why aren't you mentioning that?" "Who asked you, Watari?" "Pardon me." "Oh, so we've already been taken care of financially?" "Isn't that wonderful, Aizawa?" "Ryuzaki..." "Were you watching to see if I would quit the force to join you?" "It's not like that, Aizawa." "Ryuzaki just doesn't like to say things like that himself." "That's right." "No." "I was testing you." "I was watching to see which you would choose." "Ryuzaki..." "All right!" "I'll quit and return to the NPA!" "Aizawa!" "I couldn't make a decision quickly like you all and" "I was leaning towards staying a police officer." "Don't be so stubborn." "No!" "I quit!" "This just made things clear for me!" "I hate Ryuzaki!" "I hate the way Ryuzaki does everything!" "But I like people like you Mr. Aizawa." "I also can't stand how he can say things like this so shamelessly!" "I quit!" "Thank you very much for your hard work." "I found another." "The branch manager of Yotsuba's biggest rival bank, died on September 7th when he slipped on the steps of his home." "September 7th was a Friday..." "I checked once more and discovered that the deaths that are beneficial to Yotsuba are concentrated around the weekend." "What?" "Really?" "!" "At first, the times of death were random... but gradually, they became concentrated around Friday nights through Saturday afternoons." "It's amazing you noticed that, Chief!" "I told you, I'm no longer the Chief." "No, you'll always be the Chief to me!" "This should be some sort of hint, Dad." "I haven't lost to you and Ryuzaki yet." "I don't want to be dead weight here." ""Dead weight...?"" "Is Kira someone from Yotsuba?" "Or is Kira using Yotsuba?" "I haven't figured that out yet, but let's investigate this with the assumption that this is Kira's doing." "Let's thoroughly investigate Yotsuba!" "I've compiled a list of all domestic employees in the Yotsuba Group." "Thank you very much." "Over 300,000, huh?" "I'm impressed you compiled the list so quickly..." "That's amazing, Mr. Mogi." "Mr. Mogi's been amazing since the very beginning." "Ryuzaki!" "Is there anything I can do besides being a manager?" "You want to be useful?" "Yes!" "Then could you get me another cup of coffee?" "What?" "And also for our guests over there." "Who are they?" "When did they get in...?" "They are our new members." "I'm Aiber." "A con-man." "Pleased to meet you." "Wedy." "I'm a thief by trade." "A con-man and a thief?" "Yes." "Aiber has excellent social skills." "He's a con-man who can cozy up to our target." "We'll use him for infiltrative investigations." "Wedy is a thief who can crack any lock, safe, or security system." "As proof, she entered without any of us noticing." "We're going to be working together with criminals?" "They're criminals, but not the type who will surface and be killed by Kira." "Think of them as pros of the underworld." "I see." "If we want to investigate Yotsuba, we need people like them." "Let's all work together and give it our all!" " Yes!" " Uh, yes." "Oh!" "It's Papa." "Papa!" "Yumi..." "Eriko..." "What are you doing here?" "At least tell me if you're coming home." "I didn't buy enough for your dinner." "I'll give you half of my croquette!" "Sorry." "I haven't had a break for quite a while now, so I got some time off." "Huh?" "Is a "time off" a vacation?" "Yeah." "That's what it is." "All right!" "From now on, I'm off every week." "So I can take you to the park... or the zoo... or even the amusement park..." "What's wrong?" "Mama, Papa's crying..." "TO BE CONTINUED" "I dreamed a dream that no one could see," "I threw away everything that I didn't need" "I'm holding these feelings" "That I can't give up in my heart" "Even if my feet fall victim to the shackles of sacriﬁce" "In between reality and my ideal" "I can't hold back the ﬂooding impulses" "Because I have a strong desire" "To accomplish" "I'm not weak enough to believe" "Any of these negative perceptions" "I'm a trickster who doesn't know solitude" "PREVIEW" "A secret meeting?" "It sounds like they have one every Friday night." "All right!" "I'm on a roll today!"
