I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Behind them, in the fast food restaurant that was gradually being left behind, two employees looked at the two receding figures with surprise, exchanging bewildered glances. They felt as if they had seen two idiots, or as if they had been forced to eat dog food.

.........

Afterwards, Nagasaki Motoyo, panting and unable to run any further, was held in Higashino Akira's arms. He told her that he actually knew someone nearby who had already paid for the bill. Then, the girl, who was laughing with a bright smile, called him a "bad guy" and bit his shoulder through his clothes.

Unbeknownst to them, two girls on the street not far away were staring at them with wide eyes.

"I see...that girl, I don't think I've seen her around Higashino-san before, have I?"

"Ah."

"Another girlfriend, Higashino-ge is so naughty!"

"Oh."

"What should we do then? Should we tell Mai-senpai?"

"This one……"

On one side is her good friend and brother's girlfriend, whom she has known for a short time and with whom she keeps in close contact; on the other side is her philandering brother who is her guardian and treats her very well.

Yotsuya Miko fell into deep thought about how to decide.

P.S.: There are over 4,700 words, but one chapter is still missing. The extra words were added later because 4,700 words weren't enough to finish this section before 6 PM, and I wanted to write another section, so I added it later. If you didn't see it before subscribing, just refresh to see it. Since it was published and then revised, there shouldn't be any extra charge. If so, consider it a free gift.

It's the beginning of the month, so I'm counting on everyone to use the free monthly passes and razor blades the platform is giving away. Please feel free to feed me all you want, okay?

In Chapter 151, she finally turned into Yahata Kairin!

"Kotoko, everyone's here."

Inside a traditional Japanese-style courtyard, Higa Kotoko, having changed out of her pristine white shrine maiden attire, stood silently for a long time until an elderly woman with a capable demeanor and a face that still hinted at her youthful beauty appeared behind her and gently reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Higa Kotoko nodded.

"Good work."

"I only borrowed your venue. The fact that they were able to arrive so quickly is because you have a lot of influence."

The old woman shook her head, declined the credit, and turned to walk towards the conference room with Qinzi.

Inside, in the island nation's security maintenance department, top-tier psychic power users from the militant faction gathered together.

There were only about twenty people in total, of all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin, male and female, big and small. Their styles were very different. If there was anything in common, it was that most of them were not arrogant, but rather had a calm and detached attitude that didn't care about the outside world.

Many of them were old acquaintances, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

With the addition of some young new faces, all mixed together, some reminisced about the past, while others boasted.

But when the woman, wearing a long black trench coat, gloves, and with a winding scar on one cheek near her eye, walked in, everyone fell silent.

"I didn't expect it to really be you, Kotoko. You actually have time to come back for a meeting." Even seeing it in person, some people were still surprised by the appearance of this capable and busy person. "I heard that you organized a big event a while ago, and quite a few people died?"

"Yes, it was my mistake."

Higa Kotoko did not deny it, but readily accepted the mistake, briefly explained the situation to everyone, and then officially began the meeting.

"The topics of this meeting are the stability of Japanese sacred sites and the impact of the capture of the 'Po-nu' demon and the emergence of new gods."

The capture of the Po-Xiong Demon was not a big deal; most of the people present were able to deal with it, and the others, having made prior preparations, were equally capable.

As a wandering evil spirit with a fixed hunting target, the Po-Xu-Mo usually does not expand its hunting target group. Its territory is very small and located in a sparsely populated rural area. It does not return home for many years. Its disappearance will not cause a serious power vacuum, causing the surrounding gods to wander to its original territory, and thus causing the relatively stable spiritual field of the island country, which was originally divided by gods and powerful evil spirits from various regions, to become unstable.

The main concern is that someone has captured the powerful evil spirit Po Xuanmo, and we need to be aware of whether this spirit will use its power to do things that cause chaos and disorder.

Although she agreed to and tacitly allowed the little girl to take away the Soul Demon, it didn't mean the matter was over. She had to clean up the mess.

Kotoko Higa is very busy and doesn't have much time to stay in Japan for long. The little girl is protected by a god, so it's not advisable to forcibly detain or imprison her. She can only inform the local psychics stationed there so that everyone is aware of the situation and ask someone to guide her.

As the local host, Jami did not refuse Kotoko's request and nodded in agreement after a moment's thought.

As a veteran in the psychic world, no one would refuse Kotoko's favor.

However, not everyone has the foresight. Some young psionicists who have just reached this level and are stationed in one place are unhappy with Kotoko, who is superior to others and does not have to be stationed in a fixed area.

"So many people have died this time, scattered all over the country. How are they going to handle this in their respective jurisdictions? We can't possibly have to be dispatched for every little thing, can we?"

Higa Kotoko glanced at him, and her spiritual power was no longer restrained. A vast and heavy spiritual aura naturally poured out, landing precisely on the new faces who were questioning her.

"I already have a solution for this, and it's related to the lord I'll talk about later."

After speaking, he stopped releasing spiritual energy and easily concealed the deep spiritual field that had been leaking out, no longer paying attention to the cold sweat that was quietly sliding down the other person's face and the trembling pupils.

Next, we will discuss the potential impact of the newly created noble deity.

Kotoko Higa shared the information she had gathered about Akira Higashino over the past two days, from the shrines that could be loaded into the game and moved around via mobile phones, to the Cloud Dreamland project, which was now preparing to recruit more people.

This includes the protective effect of such barriers on individuals and their ability to kill evil spirits.

This made her meaning clear to everyone.

If there aren't enough people, just outsource. After all, some of their beliefs aren't necessary for them. If they can get the power to deal with ordinary evil spirits even if they are novices or ordinary people, it certainly won't increase their workload.

There's nothing unacceptable about that.

As for the so-called Gensokyo Project, it has sparked much discussion. Most people think it's wishful thinking. If the gods and evil spirits, big and small, were so easy to deal with, Japan wouldn't be in this situation where eight million gods are everywhere, occupying territories big and small.

Putting aside the distant past, if you want to be the boss, first you have to be strong enough to suppress other gods and powerful spirits.

Secondly, there must be enough benefits that are useful to both gods and other powerful spirits; otherwise, how can you control a few subordinates by just oppression?

You're lucky if you don't get ganged up on and beaten to death.

While it's refreshing and innovative that the other party has moved traditional channels for collecting faith online, that's about it.

The subsequent propaganda about dividing Yin and Yang, reshaping the Three Realms, and writing a new chapter in mythology was completely unbelievable; it was all empty rhetoric and grandiose.

What's more worrying than that is the ambition the other party is showing.

"Won't His actions, no matter how far they ultimately develop, cause turmoil?"

“It’s understandable that a young god is eager to achieve great things.”

"It would be better to deal with Him as soon as possible and maintain the current relative stability."

"..."

Young psionicists also yearn to subdue powerful spirits and gain merit.

In the past, to maintain stability, one could not arbitrarily break the balance. But now, the target that is about to break the balance is right in front of us, and it is a rare Pokémon. It is hard to resist the temptation.

However, Kotoko Higa shook her head, pressed the remote control, and displayed a table on the projection screen behind her.

"That person's businesses now have nearly 100,000 full-time employees. They and their families are also his followers, providing him with power. In a secular sense, this is a huge force that can directly affect 100,000 families and indirectly affect hundreds of thousands of families."

"The entire Yunmeng system of industries is maintained by Him alone. Once He loses control or disappears, all of them will collapse instantly. The turmoil caused by the collapse of the livelihoods of millions of believers in the gods may be even more serious for Japan than the consequences of the turmoil in the spiritual field."

Everyone: "..."

This is so messy, it's like a dam is being built on both ends.

So disgusting!

"How does He support so many people?"

Just moments ago, he was enthusiastically suggesting capturing that troublemaker and killing him if he disobeyed. Now, he has a disgusted expression on his face, as if he's eaten shit.

Upon hearing this, Higa Kotoko switched to the next picture, which showed the salaries and benefits of Yunmeng Group employees. "He gives money, lots of money."

The figures displayed on the projection screen made people living in capitalist countries feel a little uncomfortable.

Damn it, is this still Japan?

Has socialism invaded?

Where can you find a business that doesn't make money itself, but instead distributes almost all of its profits to its employees, offering high salaries and benefits, strictly adhering to labor laws and even voluntarily reducing working hours, providing ample holidays, and actively engaging in charitable activities?

The key point is that He almost never ventures into high-tech fields; His main businesses are all in the industries that need the most people.

They truly lived up to their status as people who depended on food and clothing, and couldn't afford to touch anything.

They want to take action, but not only their colleagues in the department, but even people from other departments can't agree to it.

What's wrong with the gods these days? Instead of engaging in wicked practices, they're so old that they marry underage girls. Even if they were just running a shrine and developing their followers, that would be fine. Who taught them to do business like this?

If ordinary companies could also use commercial and political means to suppress and divide the spoils, thus mitigating the impact.

However, those based on gods and faith are truly untouchable. Otherwise, if even one percent of those believers were fanatical, this small island nation could easily become a Middle Eastern battlefield filled with hand-made tear gas and homemade explosives.

"In that case, let's try our best to help Him from now on. If we encounter a god or spirit whose personality is controllable and relatively gentle, let's introduce them to Him. No matter how strong He is, He can't support too many subordinates. There's always a limit."

“It is better to recommend some spirits that do not like fighting than to let Him take the initiative to start a war and cause greater turmoil.”

"It's not bad to gain a favor from a deity this way."

Ms. Jami spoke slowly, and with the consent of everyone else in the meeting room, even the psionicists who didn't intend to accept this favor tacitly agreed to the proposal.

Another issue has reached a consensus, and the meeting is still ongoing.

"And, regarding the recent spate of evil spirits possessing humans..."

After the meeting, Higa Kotoko did not stay long. She left a photo with Ms. Jami and then left on her own.

She had more important things to do; compared to the Soul Demon, that was the opponent she needed to take seriously.

Ms. Jami remained where she was, staring at the little girl in the photo with a tuft of purple tuft of hair on her head, her eyes momentarily blank.

It's her.

She had met this girl before and had invited her to train her to become a stronger psychic, but the girl refused because her growth rate was too slow.

Now it seems that this little girl is the right person to be his heir.

Ms. Jami smiled and began to rethink the new admission criteria. These days, a truly talented successor is a rare find, and teachers need to do their best to recruit them.

.........

Akira Higashino was unaware that, in places he had never paid attention to, there was a group of people who had a debate with him and almost became his enemies, but in the end, they had to give up their idea because his act of naturalizing his employees as subjects provided him with a protective umbrella.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't be afraid of it.

Although the power of the psychic world is relatively weak, it is already the 21st century. Even evil spirits cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of a cluster of artillery, let alone a group of psychics with physical bodies.

He wasn't afraid of living psionicists, and he had even less to fear the dead, as they couldn't withstand the protective aura of his entire empire.
