Maou POV
"Light, look, our script is being read!" I exclaim, pointing at it excitedly as it was read with a modified voice and letters spelling out Kira on the screen. I was attempting to act childish and cheery to help L and Light forget what happened earlier, I got a feeling it wasn't working though.
In response, Light turned the TV off, apparently he was annoyed with me.
Suddenly, on L's laptop the letter W appeared, "Ryuzaki, the prisoner you wished to interrogate has arrived," Watari informed L.
"Prisoner?" Light and I echo at the same time.
"Yes, I have acquired a prisoner that may give me some clues to Sadao's origins, seeing as he is unwilling to tell me himself," L explained.
"Who?" I ask urgently.
"He claims that his name is Olba Meyer, however, like Sadao he has seemingly appeared out of nowhere," L explained, "He was an accomplice of Hanzo Urushihara."
Olba? No, this is not good at all! He'll betray my secret in an instant if he thinks that it will help him escape.
Light POV
A look of pure panic and surprise spreads across Maou's face, which makes me wonder just who this Olba person is.
"Well, I never thought I'd see that boy with such a panic on his face, wonder what'll turn up?" Ryuk commented behind me, cackling.
My father turns to Ryuzaki, "Shouldn't we focus on Kira and the second Kira right now?" He asks Ryuzaki.
"I am," Ryuzaki responds before elaborating, "Since we are waiting for a response from the second Kira, and because Sadao is a suspect, this is a productive use of my time."
"Do you even know if Olba knows anything about Maou?" Matsuda asked.
"There is a 95% chance that Olba knows something we don't know and a 75% chance that it is useful to this investigation," Ryuzaki informed him.
"Would you be willing to let me watch while you interrogate him?" I ask.
"That would be fine, and yes Sadao, you may come too," Ryuzaki agreed, "Watari, get a car ready to drive us to where you are keeping the prisoner."
"I will have that arranged," Watari confirmed.
-Thirty minutes later-
Maou POV
I secretly texted Lucifer to tell him where Olba is (He had begun to hate the former archbishop), and now i was waiting for him to arrive as Light, L, and I entered the room where Olba was being held. The man was blindfolded to make it harder for him to find out L's appearance, it seemed like L wasn't being too careful because he wasn't even going to mention that he was L during the interrogation.
When I get near him, I growl a few words in Ente Islan, "Don't you dare tell them a thing about Ente Isla or I swear I will kill you" I threaten, Olba visibly cringed.
L turned toward me, "I am fluent in many languages and am able to recognize quite a few more, but the one you just spoke is completely foreign to me. Although that does not mean I didn't understand that whatever you said was clearly a threat," L spoke, I turned and looked at him, he heard?
"So you are Olba Meyer?" Light asked curiously.
"Ah, yes, I am," Olba spoke in a somewhat sad tone.
"You don't need to be concerned about whatever Sadao threatened you with, I assure you that I have enough power to stop one person from hurting you," L attempted to reassure Olba.
"You couldn't defeat him with an army of a thousand men," Olba countered dryly.
"Is the almighty Olba defending me? I'm shocked!" I comment sarcastically.
Light POV
Olba was strange, although I was surprised when he commented about Maou's strength, that's probably related to his secret. Suddenly, out of the blue, Urushihara burst into the room with a furious look on his face and started yelling at Olba in the strange language Maou had spoken in before.
"Might I assume that Sadao informed you of where we were?" Ryuzaki asked in a voice just loud enough to be heard.
Urushihara finally seemed to notice there were other people in the room, "Yeah, and I'm glad he did, I couldn't miss a chance to punch this -" Maou covered Urushihara's mouth before he could continue.
Then, yet another person, Emi stormed in, "Olba?" she asked in shock, Maou recoiled at the sight of her.
"Emelia? How did you get here?" He asked.
She huffed and stuck her nose up in the air, "I was watching your house like usual when I saw Urushihara sneak out of the window! Naturally I figured you were up to some evil plan so as the hero I couldn't let you just get away with it," She explained, so it really wasn't just Maou who considered Emi the Hero and Maou the Villain. "But," She started, a more mischievous look covering her face, "Now that I see it concerns other people and Olba, what exactly is it?"
Before Maou could speak, Ryuzaki did, "I am in the process of figuring out Sadao's past to help me on the investigation I am in charge of."
"Yup! Emelia, and I'm proving to you that I'm not Kira!" Maou explained, "Although Ryuzaki thinks that me and Light both have roughly 5% chances of being Kira," he added, wilting a little.
Emi turns to me, "Are you friends with Maou?" She asked in a somewhat dark tone, leaning towards me.
"Yes, we've met up a few times," I told her plainly.
She straightens, putting her hands on her hips, "I wouldn't recommend getting close to him, he'll just end up hurting and betraying you," She warned.
"At first I did not understand, but now I can understand why you both have been repeatedly been mistaken for a couple," Ryuzaki stated, not realizing how much it annoyed Emi.
"What!" She sputtered, "He-he and I could never, ever be a thing, I'm the Hero, and he's, he's the devil!" She exclaimed.
"You believe that Sadao is Satan?" Ryuzaki asked curiously, "Are you suggesting that Satan actually exists?"
"Of course not!" Emi snapped, "It's just a phrase!"
"Hm, anyways, we should be focusing on interrogating Olba Meyer," Ryuzaki pointed out, turning towards said man, "Olba Meyer, if you cooperate with me and offer valuable information, I will have you released from prison and transported to wherever you wish to go on the planet."
Ryuzaki's comment turned everyone's attention back to Olba including three sets of glaring eyes, which, while Olba shouldn't be able to see them, caused him to wilter anyways, "I'm afraid nothing you say will make me talk, I don't wish to face, Maou's, wrath," he informed them.
I couldn't help but notice how he paused on Maou's name, it clearly wasn't the one he was used to.
"I suppose this is not going to be as easy as I assumed then," L started, "We should get going, I thought he might speak without true interrogation but that clearly isn't the case."
"Ryuzaki, are you saying you're going to torture him?" I ask, I'm also trying to ignore Ryuk who's spinning around and squawking (although I think he might be trying to sing) 'no name, no name!'.
As we walk back to the car, the girl Emi, although referred to as Emelia, turned to Ryuzaki, "So, you suspect Maou is Kira too? And you don't even know most of the things I used to come to that conclusion," She asked and commented.
"There is only a 6% chance that Sadao is Kira, however, this makes him the most likely out of all of my suspects," Ryuzaki answered.
Maou somehow hears his name and bends backward smiling, "See Emelia? Mr. Awesome Detective thinks there's only a 6% chance I'm Kira, and he's obviously better at this than you are!" He commented.
She huffed, "If it was me, I'd say you have at LEAST a 90% chance of being Kira," She snapped.
"Oh? What about Maou seems so Kira-ish to you?" I ask curiously.
"I know he aspires to take over the world!" She told me, "And he has absolutely no regard for human lives whatsoever!"
"Interesting. Sadly, considering your considerable bias against Sadao, I cannot trust anything you say against Sadao," Ryuzaki stated.
Maou cleared his throat, "Emelia, how many times have we gone over this? I'm not like that anymore!" He exclaimed, then paused, "Although who doesn't aspire to take over the world?" I gave him a look, "I wouldn't do it by force!" He defended.
"Maybe I should reconsider the authenticity of Miss Emi's words," Ryuzaki started thoughtfully.
Maou's eyes widened comically, "What? Please don't!" He exclaimed, "I'm all good! Bright, perky, no more murdering innocent people for me!" He defended.
Now it was my turn to be shocked (Again) "What do you mean 'no more'? You do know that that suggests you've murdered innocents in the past," I ask.
"Ah- eh… uhm," Maou stuttered.
"7%, it would be more if it weren't for the fact you seem unadept at keeping secrets of any kind," Ryuzaki stated.
L POV
I had found the wording that both Miss Emi and Sadao used to be quite odd, they both seemed to believe in some sort of otherworldly beings, and Sadao has repeatedly hinted (Unintentionally of course) that he himself isn't human. Miss Emi seems to agree, and holds the belief that Sadao was some sort of demon, perhaps Satan himself. While in the past I would have thrown this notion aside, Kira himself (I am greatly inclined to believe that Kira is male) seems to possess some sort of otherworldly power, although it seems more likely that he is human or at least has spent most of his life in human society rather than not (That was a bit of a long sentence…. woops).
Additionally, Miss Emi seemed to be more incapable of keeping secrets than even Sadao, if I were to find his true identity, there is a 60% chance that the information would come from her.
"Uhm, L-Ryuzaki, can I speak in private with Emelia and Lurushihara for a second?" Sadao asked, adding a L to Urushihara's name, perhaps it was part of his real name?
"Hm?" I ask, feigning that I was thinking, "Sure I suppose, try to return here as soon as possible," I told him. What he was unaware of was that the building's security included hidden cameras everywhere in the building.
Sadao immediately dashed off, pulling both Miss Emi and Urushihara after him by the collars of their shirts, something I heard Miss Emi scold him for right before they got out of hearing range. I immediately pulled out my phone and called Watari, "Watari, can you please pull up the footage and sound for those three?" I ask.
"Yes," he responded, and a second later, a picture of them appeared as well as audio.
"Okay, what were you dieing to tell us devil," Miss Emi complained, scowling with her hands on her hips, "Is there some sort of problem?"
"You are the problem!" Sadao exclaimed exasperatedly, throwing his hands up in the air.
Urushihara raised his hand, then spoke, "If the Hero is the problem, why'd you drag me along too?"
"Because I feel like we're teetering on a tightrope on the brink of discovery and you two seem inclined to jump and do freaking cartwheels on it!" Sadao exclaimed.
"Pft, I wouldn't call it much of a tightrope, more of like a wide well-supported bridge," Emelia said, "And you seem to blend into human society just fine!"
"Lord Satan does have a point," Urushihara told her, "You called him the devil in front of everyone and repeatedly referred to the humans on this planet as humans, which since they don't have any other forms of sentient life, it's considered strange. For the only, admittedly only half, human here, you sure seem to blend in the worst."
"Oh you be quiet Lucifer!" She snapped, "I'm just used to a whole different kind of human society and unlike you, I'm not constantly reminded of being in a different world!" She exclaimed.
Sadao leaned back, "So you're bothered by the fact we're on Earth instead of Ente Isla?" He asked, "If you're so bothered by it, why not go back?"
"I've told you! As the Hero, I have to stop you from doing any of your demonic acts!" She exclaimed, "And I can ask you the same thing, why haven't you gone back?"
Sadao sighed, "Unlike you, it's not so easy for me to obtain magic, I'm stuck here until enough gathers to make a gate back to Ente Isla, plus, this world would be pretty interesting to conquer too!"
"Well you obviously have enough magic to give human criminals heart attacks," She snapped.
"You're still on that? Kira is just some immature human who wants to be a god, while according to some of this world's interpretations of me, I already am one!" Sadao exclaimed happily. "Talking about Kira, I've hypothesised that either he has the support of a demon from Ente Isla, or, this is what I consider more likely, this world may very well have its own form of magic!"
"Isn't that Ryuzaki person waiting for you?" Miss Emi asked.
"Oh yeah!"
Watari turned off the link, while I continued to stare at the screen in shock, luckily I had sat down before any of the shocking things had been said, or I might have fallen. Light seemed just as shocked as me, it was interesting to see him when metaphorical mask had vanished.
Light POV
Satan? And Ente Isla, it was another world? Ryuk had actually fallen backwards in shock and laughter when Urushi- no -Lucifer called Maou Lord Satan. After the shock, I actually found it quite comical that Maou was Satan, letting out a long laugh. I think I was a bit more suspicious that something supernatural was going on than Ryuzaki was. The black haired man looked like he was about to faint.
Within half a minute, both Ryuzaki and I managed to compose ourselves, just in time for Maou to come back to the car.
"Sorry for taking so long!" He apologized, laughing. "I was just telling Emi and Urushihara not to barge in on us anymore," he lied smoothly.
"It's fine," I reassure him nervously. For now, I think both me and L were a bit too terrified to confront him.
AN Hehe! Maou's secret is out, and the poor guy doesn't even know it! I know they found out pretty quickly, but really, I have two big reasons other than liking having this happen that caused it to happen. First of all, L is an AMAZING detective, even if he didn't find out this way, he'd find something somewhere soon enough. Secondly, Maou and Emi are absolutely horrible at keeping their secret. The only reason they weren't discovered in the anime was that whatever they said was just thought of as crazy, plus more than a little luck.
Okay, now i'm going to talk about that sequel I mentioned earlier. First off, I don't plan on ending this story any time soon, there's still plenty of stuff yet to happen! I just tend to get a bit ahead of myself… but also,, I've decided a fun little way to reveal what/who Maou will encounter in the sequel. At the end of each chapter, I will post little clues somewhere in the end of the note, and each chapter I will let everyone give one guess. The first person to get it right (The first person logged into an account that gets it right) will get to put their own OC in the story! Sadly, said OC probably won't have a very big role, but I still think it's a fun reward, the first person to guess right will be PMed by me asking if they wish to put an OC, and they will be mentioned in the next chapter. The clues will hopefully make it very obvious pretty quickly. The clue for this chapter a rather vague but straight-forward clue: It's a popular movie. If no one guesses what it is by the end of the story, either I greatly overestimated its popularity or I'm bad at writing obvious clues.
Good luck everyone!
