With a surge of enthusiasm, Lacospo advanced towards Lala, his eyes tightly shut and his wide, frog-like mouth agape. "I've come for you, Lala-tan! Let's get married!" He exclaimed with a voice that could make anyone shudder.

Lala, with an air of disdain, replied, pulling down her left eyelid while sticking out her tongue, "In your dreams, Lacospo. You hired an assassin to take out Light. You're the worst!"

Lacospo looked genuinely shocked by the accusation. His eyes, already naturally bulging, seemed about to pop out of their sockets, and his mouth opened so wide it looked like it could swallow something the size of a beer can. "T-The worst?!" He stammered.

"Exactly!" Lala retorted, pointing an accusing finger at him. "I would never marry someone as foolish as you!"

Lacospo, clearly frustrated, pointed at Light, "This is your fault, Light Yagami! You seduced Lala-tan!"

Turning to Eva, whom he referred to as "Golden Darkness", he scolded her, "What have you been doing all this time!? He should've been out of the picture by now!"

Eva, with a serious expression, replied, "Lacospo, your timing is impeccable. We need to talk. The information you gave me about Light Yagami doesn't match what I've observed. Were you trying to deceive me?"

Lacospo, clearly uncomfortable and starting to sweat, responded defensively, "Light Yagami was manipulating Lala-tan!" He then lashed out at Eva, "You claim to be the best assassin in the Milky Way, but you failed in your mission and now try to pin the blame on me!"

Lala, taking a determined stance, intervened, "Eva-chan! Don't listen to him!"

Eva cast a piercing gaze at Lacospo. He had deceived her. The information he provided didn't match what she had witnessed. Even as an assassin, Eva was selective in her targets, only eliminating those deemed malevolent. Realizing that Light Yagami didn't align with the profile presented to her, a wave of frustration and irritation washed over her.

"W... What's with that look!?" The intense and piercing gaze made Lacospo step back, his feet moving instinctively. "I am your master!" He exclaimed, his voice laden with authority.

Eva remained silent, her eyes observing the scene before her.

Lacospo felt ridiculed, heat rising to his face as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. "If you won't obey me, I'll have to punish you! Come forth, Gama-tan!" He invoked.

Suddenly, a golden aura enveloped Lacospo. He was briefly lifted, and shortly after, a massive frog descended, positioning itself beneath him. The frog, deep green with prominent lips reminiscent of Lacospo's but in a greener shade, landed on the ground, the golden aura dissipating around them.

Light, watching from a distance, reflected internally, 'A giant frog with 100 Fortune. Not bad.'

There were many reasons for a frog of this magnitude to possess such Fortune. Even Lacospo, with his 350 Fortune, was evidence of that.

"Gyahhh!" The frog emitted a shrill noise, drawing everyone's attention.

Eva frowned, clearly displeased with the creature's presence.

"Is that the Arroirogaama?!" Peke, emerging from Lala's hat, exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you know it, Peke?" Lala inquired, interest shining in her eyes.

Peke, with a trembling voice, confessed, "Yes... I read about him in an astrobiology book. If it's truly him... Then he's my natural adversary!" His voice, once firm, now carried a nuance of vulnerability.

Lacospo, majestically positioned atop the massive frog, confidently exclaimed, "Now, Gama-tan, show them the true meaning of fear!"

The frog, in response, hurled a viscous ball towards Eva.

Light acted swiftly. His shield expanded, forming a formidable barrier, and he positioned himself between Eva and the impending attack.

"Boom!"

The impact, though not extremely powerful, produced a sound that echoed throughout the surroundings, marking the moment when the viscous substance collided with Light's shield.

Eva, still processing the event, questioned, "Why did you protect me?"

Turning to her with a gentle smile, Light replied, "Haven't I told you, Eva? I desire you."

Eva hesitated, clearly taken aback by the declaration. The reason for her reaction, perhaps, was a mystery only she knew.

With a determined gesture, Light extended his hand towards the giant frog. A luminous sword emerged, stretching boundlessly, striking directly into the creature's eyes, which let out an agonizing scream before collapsing.

[You triggered a favorable event! Your Fate value increased by 500!]

Seeing the giant frog fallen, Lacospo let out a desperate scream: "Gama-tan!"

With a cold gaze, Light turned to Lacospo, "Now, only you remain, little frog."

Lacospo, with teeth clenched in anger and eyes bulging with tears and snot dripping from his nose, was visibly trembling. He had always been a privileged youth, accustomed to spending thoughtlessly and using Gama-tan to intimidate others, especially women. In panic, he summoned his spaceship and vanished in the blink of an eye.

With a subtle gesture, Light materialized the Death Note. After fortifying it with five distinct enchantments, he wrote determinedly: "Lacospo Gaama", clearly visualizing Lacospo's face. He then added: "Captured by space pirates who love frog meat."

Upon finishing writing, a sort of mist emanated from the book's pages, disappearing into the horizon.

With a calm gesture, Light closed the Death Note and stored it in his [Inner World], resuming his serene posture as if nothing had happened.

It all went unnoticed, as he used light to reflect and create a copy of himself while he himself was invisible.

Light turned his attention to Eva. "So, where were we? May I call you Eva?"

She hesitated for a moment before replying, "... Okay."

With a light smile, Light continued, "As I mentioned earlier, I wish for you to be my Zodiac Goddess, just like Lala. Do you accept it?"

Eva closed her eyes for a moment, and an image of a woman, similar to her but older, appeared in her mind. Opening her eyes again, she affirmed, "I accept."

[Eva Lunatique experiences an emotional turnaround. The 'Protagonist', Yuki Rito's Fortune decreased by 20 points and the Host's Fate value increased by 100 points.]

"Wonderful," said Light, his smile now more intense and captivating. "Let's begin."

From Light's waist, he retrieved the Libra Zodiac Stone. Carefully, he approached Eva, positioning the stone near her chest, avoiding any direct contact, aware of the sensitivity of the moment.

Eva noticed Light's delicacy. Although she still had many questions in mind, she chose to trust the man before her.

As the Libra Zodiac Stone merged with Eva's soul, something extraordinary occurred.

A luminosity enveloped Eva, marking the beginning of a transformation. Her already beautiful golden hair gained an additional glow, with the tips displaying a hue reminiscent of the vast starry sky. Her intense red eyes acquired even greater depth, almost enigmatic. Her stature increased slightly, and her curves became more pronounced, highlighting her figure.

Eva's attire underwent subtle changes. Her black leather gothic outfit now displayed a more refined touch. A star-shaped opening adorned her chest, outlined by a golden glow. She wore two belts, one of them boasting the Libra Zodiac Stone at its center. Additionally, belts hung from both legs, and two stylized sleeves were attached to her arms by straps.

[Eva Lunatique shows a submissive inclination towards the Host. Her Fortune grew by 200 and her Fate points by 1,000]

━━━━ ≪?¬ノᆱ ━━━━

Observing her metamorphosis, especially her translucent wings of blue mixed with gold, Eva experienced an unprecedented sensation. Although she was only hovering slightly above the ground, it was a new feeling.

Before, flying required an effort similar to moving her arms, but now, it felt more natural and harmonious. The sensation was unusual but pleasant. And when she conjured an additional pair of white angelic wings, the sight became even more spectacular.

'Her Fortune, which was already high, increased by 100, now standing at 1,900.' Light reflected.

With just a thought, the Attribute Panel appeared.

'Alright, I have a lot of accumulated points. I need to adjust my training routine... It'll be more intense, but I'll start using three 1-year cards per day...' Light silently reflected.

Now, he had one more ally as his Zodiac Goddess. With Eva, the count reached four. Moreover, Light had plans to train with other individuals who were not yet under his zodiacal influence. If he continued with this strategy, regardless of the strength or status of these people, it was only a matter of time before they succumbed to him...
