Most of the time, Izumi allowed the world under his control to develop naturally.
As long as people acted within acceptable boundaries, he rarely interfered.
Even conflicts and disputes between individuals were usually ignored by him.
However—
If someone attempted to cross his bottom line and create unnecessary chaos, Izumi would never hesitate to step in personally.
Although direct fighting was technically prohibited within his world…
Those recognized as part of Izumi's faction still possessed the authority to kill when necessary.
That was precisely why Izumi had ordered Scáthach to eliminate those troublemakers earlier.
Naturally, Yuyuko Saigyouji and Yukari Yakumo understood this perfectly well.
Just as Izumi said—
More and more worlds were merging into this one.
And with those worlds came all kinds of people.
Naturally, not all of them possessed good intentions.
At first, most newcomers still feared the overwhelming power governing this world.
But over time, that fear gradually faded.
And once people lost their sense of awe…
They inevitably became reckless.
There were still countless worlds waiting to be integrated.
When those dimensions eventually merged as well, even more problematic individuals would surely appear.
Thinking about that, Izumi slowly narrowed his eyes.
Perhaps…
It was time to become more ruthless.
Maybe he should establish some kind of large-scale cleansing system.
A mechanism to distinguish good from evil and purge the truly rotten elements from society entirely.
Izumi had never been merciful toward hypocritical people.
As this thought formed in his mind, he began seriously considering the possibility.
Should he create an actual purification system for the world?
Seeing Izumi suddenly sink into deep thought, Yuyuko tilted her head curiously.
"Izumi?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing her voice, Izumi shook his head lightly.
"Nothing major."
"Today's incident just reminded me of something."
"More and more people are becoming part of our world."
"So I started wondering…"
"Should we clean things up a little?"
"Make this world a cleaner place."
Yuyuko blinked in surprise.
"Would that really be a good idea?"
"Right now, the underworld is already handling those matters."
"The Yama are in charge of judging souls."
"If you really do something like this, won't their workload increase dramatically?"
Then she added with a slightly amused tone,
"Wouldn't the Yama end up declaring war on you?"
Hearing that, Izumi froze briefly.
Then he muttered helplessly,
"The Yama…"
"Ah… right."
He suddenly began thinking in an entirely different direction.
"So instead…"
"Maybe we should just kill those people and let the Yama purify them afterward?"
"Wash away their sins and all that."
The more he thought about it, the more feasible the idea suddenly sounded.
Yuyuko, meanwhile, looked completely speechless.
"Seriously…"
"I don't even know what to say anymore."
At this point, she genuinely felt bad for the hardworking Yama.
Izumi clearly did not care about their feelings whatsoever.
In fact, he sounded almost excited at the idea of making those serious little judges even busier.
Seeing her reaction, Izumi laughed.
"I'm joking."
"For now, at least."
"We can think about it later."
"It's not something that needs to be decided immediately."
As he spoke, he temporarily pushed the idea aside.
Still…
If an opportunity arose in the future, perhaps he really would try implementing something similar.
At that moment, however, Yukari suddenly spoke up from nearby.
"Why wait until later?"
"Wouldn't now be the perfect time?"
"We already hate those hypocritical types anyway."
"If possible, I'd love to send all of them directly to the Yama for judgment."
Hearing that, Izumi's expression instantly turned strange.
"You saying that…"
"…is honestly pretty ironic."
His gaze toward Yukari suddenly became extremely subtle.
Yukari blinked in confusion.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Are you calling me hypocritical?"
Her face immediately darkened.
Inside Izumi's heart, she was actually considered a hypocrite?
That realization dealt heavy emotional damage.
As a beautiful and eternally seventeen-year-old girl, being labeled a hypocrite by her own lover felt absolutely terrible.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.
Soon, tears even began forming in her eyes.
She looked at Izumi with an extremely pitiful expression.
Seeing this dramatic act, Izumi immediately felt speechless.
"Why are you making that face?"
"Just because you call yourself seventeen doesn't magically make it true."
"Seriously, Yukari-mama, stop messing around."
The moment he uttered that title—
Yukari's expression froze completely.
Then, little by little, a dangerous smile spread across her face.
"Oh?"
"So that's the kind of role you like?"
"I understand now."
"Very well."
"From today onward…"
"I shall properly play the role of a good mother for you."
Izumi instantly fell silent.
At this moment, he genuinely wanted to smack her.
This woman was absolutely asking for trouble.
