Matsushita Ayami could be considered, for the time being, an ordinary first-year high school student.
She had a family that was relatively wealthy, but terrible.
Her current father, Matsushita Kousuke, would be considered a young and promising rising star in IT by worldly standards; he had established his current foundation in Tokyo before the age of forty.
Back when she found out her mother had caught his eye and they had decisively registered their marriage, she had sincerely felt happy for her mother.
Only now, looking back, did she realize that was actually the beginning of the nightmare.
So much so that she, who should have been able to get into a high school with a higher deviation score, ended up in her current high school.
Of course, the high school she attended wasn't bad; it ranked within the top ten in the entire Tokyo Metropolitan area.
To be able to get into this high school despite the changes in her family, she probably deserved the title of "genius."
However, as the atmosphere at home became increasingly tense, and with the appearance of that mysterious diary a few days before the start of the school term, her mind was no longer on her studies.
Every day, as long as she read the diary, she could steadily gain a little Reading Value. Plus, the Hamon breathing posted by the Mysterious Person in the diary was also quite magical.
Her talent in this area was also not bad. In just one short month, after exposing the fact that her father was keeping mistresses outside and gifting them cars and houses, she was able to easily stop her father's domestic violence relying on the power of Hamon.
It was just that her approach was too radical after all, and she failed to consider her mother's feelings for that man.
Or rather, she never expected that her mother, who was nearing forty, would still be so love-struck. She couldn't leave that man, nor was she willing to let others take him away. Even if she was covered in bruises, she absolutely refused to divorce.
In the past half month, whenever that man returned home, he would inevitably have disputes and conflicts with her mother.
And the conflicts were becoming more and more intense.
The other party was determined to get a divorce and was already transferring assets, wanting to leave the mother and daughter with nothing.
In the end, she was too anxious. She detonated this conflict prematurely, and the attitude of her and her mother made the man start to feel uneasy. Otherwise, if things had proceeded normally, she would definitely have been able to take a large chunk of flesh from that man.
At the same time, she knew her mother's current mental state very well.
In fact, after her biological father died unexpectedly, her mother's mental state had already developed problems. It was the appearance of Matsushita Kousuke that made her mother place all her emotional sustenance on this man.
So as long as her mother was alive, she would absolutely not agree to a divorce, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.
"So, as long as I write down Matsushita Kousuke's name, and then write how he dies, he will die according to what I wrote?"
Matsushita Ayami looked at the white paper in her hand and asked herself.
But if she really did this, her mother would probably never recover.
"However, if one is sick, one should go to the hospital for treatment, instead of living in this false sense of security, right?"
Matsushita Ayami made her decision.
Even if after doing so, her soul would go neither to heaven nor hell after death, but would be devoured by the Shinigami (Death God) as food.
She began to conceive in her mind how to make Matsushita Kousuke die more normally, ensuring that no one would realize the existence of this "Death Note Torn Page."
Just as she was about to put pen to paper and write down the death process she had thought of, as well as Matsushita Kousuke's name, a voice indistinguishable in gender suddenly rang out from behind her.
"If you continue, it will be an abyss from which there is absolutely no return, you know?"
Startled by the sudden voice, Matsushita Ayami's body instantly stiffened.
She turned her head and saw a mysterious person whose face couldn't be seen clearly.
"Are you... perhaps a Shinigami?"
Because the Death Note page itself came with instructions about the Death Note, her first reaction was that this guy might be a so-called Shinigami.
"Do I look like a Shinigami? Though if you want me to cosplay one, that's not a big problem." Miyauchi Hikage responded. Then, the Yellow Temperance covering his body began to transform, quickly mimicking the form of the Shinigami Ryuk from the manga. He even took out an apple from his Unlimited Blade Works and began gnawing on it right in front of the girl.
Seeing this action, Matsushita Ayami seemed to realize something, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
"So, you are the Mysterious Person?"
She couldn't quite believe it.
The Mysterious Person who had been hidden in the diary for nearly two months and had never appeared before other diary-holding girls was now appearing so abruptly in front of her.
Her hand couldn't help but clutch the torn page of the Death Note.
She considered herself just an ordinary girl. Except for answering the question today, looking at Shinomiya Kaguya's answer in the group, and casually filling in Morioh Town along with her, she simply managed to snag a reward.
So, did the Mysterious Person come for this paper?
"Shouldn't you be in Morioh Town right now chatting about life with that Kishibe Rohan?"
After all, only half an hour had passed since the other party's last diary entry. Could the other party rush back to Tokyo from Morioh Town so quickly?
"You should have noticed the issue when this commission offered a second chance. By the way, if you had selected that I was in the Tokyo area in addition to filling in Morioh Town, you could have obtained a second lottery opportunity. It's a pity you filled in somewhere else."
Matsushita Ayami wasn't stupid. After being stunned for a while, she realized that the Mysterious Person in front of her should have some kind of "clone" ability, which was why he could appear in two places at the same time.
But she was still concerned about the reason for his appearance here.
She only hesitated for a moment before voluntarily handing the torn page in her hand to Miyauchi Hikage.
Since the other party most likely came for this, she might as well be proactive. After all, she couldn't imagine having any chance of gaining an advantage over this mysterious guy in front of her.
It was better to be straightforward; the other party would probably bring out something as compensation.
Or perhaps, she could finally know what she would encounter in her original story.
Seeing Matsushita Ayami being so sensible, Miyauchi Hikage felt a bit unaccustomed to it instead.
However, he really did have a way to solve Matsushita Ayami's current situation.
"You're just a JK (high school girl) who just started high school; don't think about killing people all day long. In fact, even I am unwilling to easily shoulder such burdens."
He took the torn page that he probably wouldn't even use, then took out two blank Calling Cards prepared after obtaining the otherworldly APP, and handed them to Matsushita Ayami.
"Write your parents' names and their sins on them, then deliver them to your parents. I will take you to personally steal their hearts, and incidentally help you vent the pressure in your heart."
