How can one describe the feeling of having your universe transformed to the point of almost touching 'heaven' and then returning? That was precisely Himari's experience during the days she spent in the special training room.

Within that room, every detail and gesture immersed Himari in an experience that reached the pinnacle of existence.

Even after everything, the sensation was that her young master still enveloped her completely. It was akin to the feeling of remaining submerged in the ocean and, even upon returning to land, continuing to feel the waves enveloping her body...

With her eyes closed, the image of her young master invaded her in all his grandeur and in various facets that... Motivated her to go on even when fatigue weighed on her.

[The Female Protagonist, Himari Noihara, shows great affection for the Host. You have received 1,000 Destiny Points.]

Upon leaving the special training room, Light cast a surprised glance towards Himari. He noticed that after they left the chamber, her fortune magically increased, reaching an astounding value of 1,290 in Fortune.

'Pay 500 to get 1,000... No doubt, an excellent deal,' Light thought, flashing a smile.

Naturally, he valued every step of the process. Initially, he shared with Himari several 'skills' he had mastered. By using them, he provided her with experiences so intense, they deserved to be called 'the best'.

"Young master..." Himari's voice sounded different, more mature and captivating, almost instantly hypnotizing any listener. "I'm going to take a bath. Are you coming~?"

This time, Light did not hide his reaction. Even after so many months together, he still yearned for more of her. Facing the subtle invitation, he replied: "Certainly, let's."

As all of this unfolded, no one witnessed the interaction between the two or noticed Himari's transformation. Had they seen it, they would have undoubtedly been in awe!

Upon entering the living room that morning, Light encountered Asia, who was already awake. She wore a loose white blouse, jeans outlining her legs, and discreet sneakers. Contrary to her usual style, Asia had her hair tied up in a high ponytail.

"Good morning, Light-sama!" Asia greeted, her joy evident in her voice upon seeing Light.

With eyes shining at the sight of Asia's genuine smile, Light replied: "Mm, good morning, Asia-chan."

"I've prepared our breakfast. I hope it's to your liking," Asia said, a hint of shyness and expectation in her voice.

"I'll taste it now, thank you," Light stated, heading to the table.

The table displayed an array of appetizing dishes. Asia had made golden toasts, a soft omelet sprinkled with herbs, a selection of freshly cut fruits, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

A pitcher of coffee emanating its aroma and pancakes drizzled with honey and adorned with strawberries were also part of the menu. Light, admiring the spread, felt touched by Asia's dedication and care.

"It looks incredible," Light said, reciprocating with a warm smile, causing Asia to blush slightly.

"I hope you enjoy it," Asia's voice sounded sweet and hopeful.

After tasting a bit of each dish, Light commented: "It's excellent."

"Hehee~" Asia, with twinkling eyes, let out a restrained giggle.

That night, after the meal,

Lala, with eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, said: "Light! Tonight it's my turn to accompany you to the special training room, remember~?"

"Yes, we had arranged that, hadn't we?" Light replied, playfully pinching her nose.

For a moment, with her nose pinched, Lala's voice sounded distorted: "I'm so excited, let's go, Light~!" She couldn't hold back a laugh. "My voice sounded so funny just now~!"

Light released Lala's nose and gave an affectionate smile.

━━━━ ≪?￢ﾉﾫ ━━━━

While Lala was getting ready to head to the special training room, Light, comfortably seated on the bed, mentally asked:

'System, what's the cost to acquire the Shinigami lineage, but without the typical Shinigami restrictions?'

[Considering the Host already possesses a Death Note, the Shinigami Lineage (Without Restrictions) has a price of 2,500 Destiny Points.]

Facing the impersonal response from the system in his mind, Light pondered. A lineage was more complex than a mere skill since it encompassed a complete set of abilities and techniques.

'I wonder how Ryuk would react knowing that the Death Note he cast into the human world may no longer belong to him?' A subtle, icy laugh escaped Light's lips.

Plans began to form in Light's mind, anticipating a possible visit from Ryuk.

'System, if I choose to use the Death Note in conjunction with the Shinigami Eyes (Without Side Effect) that I have, how much would this lineage cost?'

[2,000 Destiny Points]

Hearing this, Light sank into introspective silence.

He reclined on the bed, placing his hands behind his head, trying to push away the thoughts occupying him. However, it didn't take long for Lala to be ready.

"Light, what do you think?" Lala asked, with evident shyness in her voice, but her eyes sparkled fervently.

Light rose, casting an evaluative look over her, and with a kind smile, complemented: "You look stunning."

"Hehe~ Light always knows how to cheer me up~" Lala's melodic voice rang out, bringing with it a magic that stirred the heart of anyone listening.

As soon as they entered the special training room, Lala immediately embarked on a curious exploration of all the technology around her.

"Feel free to explore; I'll also focus on my tasks." Light informed her.

"Got it!" Lala replied enthusiastically, her eyes shining with the same wonder of a child stepping into an amusement park for the first time.

"Light! Light, Light~~!"

In the cozy ambience of a dimly lit room, a young girl with long golden hair tossed and turned in her bed. Her calls seemed laden with deep intimacy, mixed with sighs and murmurs. Yet, the flow of her thoughts was abruptly interrupted by a phone ring.

Ring... Ring...

"Who's calling me now?"

There was a trace of irritation in the girl's voice, bothered by the untimely call.

"Is that the way to answer your mother?"

The voice on the other end replied with immediate displeasure.

"M-Mom?" The surprise made Misa reorient herself, and she sat up in bed, replying: "Sorry, I was... a bit distracted. But why are you calling so late?"

"Can't I call my daughter?" The answer came first with a hint of reproof, immediately softened. "I heard about some incidents in Kuoh City and just wanted to make sure you're okay."

"Ah, Mom, I'm perfectly fine. Relax, I'm staying in a great hotel my agent arranged. I spend most of the day rehearsing, morning and afternoon. I haven't been going out at night." Misa explained calmly. "Everything is going as planned. Try not to be so anxious."

"How can I not be worried after what you nearly faced a few months ago?" Concern and fear were evident in her mother's voice.

"I get it, Mom. I'm being cautious." Misa replied with a resigned sigh.

"Well, I'll hang up. Take care, okay?"

Hearing those words from her mother, Misa felt her eyes water, but she tried not to let the emotion show. Forcing a smile, she responded as sweetly as she could: "I will, Mom."

"Everything's different now..." Misa murmured, seeking self-conviction. "Everything has changed; it wasn't for no reason... I need to talk to Light."

"Misa..." Rem watched as Misa began dialing Light's number, letting out a deep sigh.

"I'm okay, Rem. I've made my decision." Misa looked at her firmly, "No matter how many other women are around Light, I'll always be his first choice!"

What could Rem say? All that remained was to watch as Misa paved her own way...

As soon as Misa made the call, she was quickly answered. Hearing the familiar voice of Light, recent memories flooded Misa's mind, reminding her of what she was doing moments before...

"Light, it's me, Misa," she began, "I've thought about what you told me, and I've decided to accept!"
