The next morning we had a discussion about the case again, and the same afternoon, L suggested going for a walk at Light's school, so we can gather some information about Kira. agreed since it was still lesson time, thus we could find Light during lunch break and somehow get him to confess his actions.
"What if he's not Kira? How are you so sure? You might prove yourself wrong." I said.
"Then you should know this important detail: I am always right. And when I'm wrong, am still right. My detective instinct never failed me."
"Fine... Whatever you say," I replied nonchalantly.

We waited for him outside his school while eating our snacks. It wasn't long before the bell rang. A crowd of students came out of the building, Light among them. After a while, we noticed him together with a girl. L called him to join us. They both approached. She was blonde with long shoulder-length hair along with two long thin braids. Everything in her was black. Black T-shirt, black skirt, and black shoes.
"Hello!" Light greeted amiably.
"Good Evening." I greeted in turn.
"Is it the right time to greet like that?" he wondered.
"It's four o'clock. You could call it an afternoon." I replied looking at the watch on my wrist.
L on the other hand, stared at the girl. He looked at her and down as if seeking some kind of evidence. He indeed sought something. I was sure! So, in order not to arouse suspicion, I threw in a question unrelated to the topic.
"Ryuzaki, have you brought money with you? We should treat them some ice cream."
He didn't listen.
"Ice cream? In October?" Light asked.
"It's summer in Australia. That's where I am from in case you didn't know," I continued with that lie.
"No, thanks. I want to keep in shape. My job requires it, you see" the girl answered.
We've been talking for about two minutes and she hasn't even introduced herself... I thought.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! How clumsy of me. My name's Misa. Amane Misha. Actress and a model. You can call me Misa Misa."
"Misa Misa?"
"Yes, it's my pen name."
"Pleasure to meet you, Misa," I said and introduced myself in turn, before she interrupted me.
"No need to tell me. I know both of you. Light has told me about you. You, are Marina and..." She then turned to L. "That young man is Ryuzaki. From the Kira case, I suppose? Nice to meet you, sir"
"Exactly."
"Don't call me that. Just Ryuzaki is fine." L said.
We chatted for a while, forgetting why we came to meet Light. I reminded L
"L, ask indirectly how he kills but without him finding out. Just in case. I don't know how this stuff work. We might raise suspicions, you know?" I whispered and he gave a thumbs up in response.
But just as he was about to answer with words, voices were heard behind us. Apparently, some people had recognized Misa and a crowd gathered around us. For a moment I thought they were going to trample us, instead of just walking like normal people. Some asked for an autograph while others asked for a photo.
While she signed autographs or and taking pictures with fans, she shouted:
"No way! Somebody just touched my butt!"
L looked at his palm and mocked:
"What an outrage! Taking advantage of the situation is unforgivable! I'll definitely find the culprit!"
"Hehe... You're funny, Ryuzaki." Misa told him
"So... Would you go on a date with me?"
I giggled at those words. What a great way to bring those you suspect close to you. Of course, it's always about "love" when you're in the police field. So, I, in turn, completed the moment jokingly.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Do it. Take the girl out. I'll pay for the food at the restaurant. Didn't you tell me you were going to purpose to her?"
The crowd let out an exclamation of surprise. Of course, Misa understood the joke around us, as she continued fooling around.
"I'd date you, L as you're cute. But I already have a commitment to Light. Sorry."
"There! Be glad she called you cute!" I said patting his shoulder.
