I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Toyokawa Shoko disliked his dissolute lifestyle, keeping a mistress at a young age, and also disliked his seemingly unemotional nature even when he relaxed in private, as rationality always seemed to prevail over sentimentality in his realistic thinking.

But she knew that even if she had the chance to break free of the curse and no longer be tormented by being forced to become a cat, she probably wouldn't be able to forget everything that had happened to her and try to accept other people.

Whether out of gratitude or influenced by traditional notions of chastity.

When Higashino Akira turned off the lights and effortlessly pulled the girl into his arms, she didn't refuse to get close, except for a slight stiffness that prevented him from crossing his final line.

The next day, Akira Higashino went out and met Saki Kawasaki at the mall. It was unusual for him to invite her out not to harass her.

But it would be better to be chiseled.

Kawasaki Saki thought to herself, "It's too much to ask a woman to help a man with whom she has a close relationship choose clothes for another woman, including underwear."

Since learning about this person's attitude and realizing that she had no choice and could not escape, Kawasaki Saki resigned herself to treating this relationship as something that might last a lifetime, trying her best to accept it proactively so that at least she wouldn't feel so bad.

But just as I was getting ready to accept it, this happened...

Even though it was an unequal relationship maintained solely by money, Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

The girl she had never met was about the same height as her, but slightly less developed physically, which at least gave her some comfort.

Since she was paid to do this, even though she was a little upset, Kawasaki Saki earnestly helped him choose nice and suitable clothes, and finally brought the whole outfit to Higashino Akira's side.

"It's all better now."

"Not enough, pick two more sets."

Looking at her somewhat indifferent face, Higashino Akira gently shook his head, "You forgot to pick one for yourself too. Since it's on the way, you might as well pick one for my sister as well."

Although the prayer beads that Miko used didn't serve any great purpose, at least she had the intention, which Higashino Akira couldn't ignore.

Across from her, upon hearing Higashino Akira's words, Kawasaki Saki, who had initially been somewhat indifferent, softened her gaze with a complex expression.

She didn't intend to accept it for granted and directly refused, saying that she had clothes at home to change into and didn't need to buy new ones. Then, Higashino Akira lowered his head and gently kissed her, silencing all the rest of her words. Her face flushed, she was pushed around and obediently went to choose clothes.

This person is really something, still outside with so many people coming and going and watching, how embarrassing!

Isn't he shy?

The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were shy.

P.S.: I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap and continue writing when I wake up. Thank you all for your support. If you think it's okay, I hope you can give me any free items you don't need, the platform's recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, or even blades of encouragement. Every bit of encouragement is my motivation to move forward. A big shot previously rewarded this book, and I should have added more chapters to thank them, but I can't update too quickly during the new book period. I still have to repay the chapters I haven't finished repaying with the recommendation ticket rewards from the previous book. I'll have to wait a while and repay them slowly. Please understand.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Real Gunfight Game

Akira Higashino doesn't like shopping or constantly changing clothes and buying things. He's a goal-oriented person who hates wasting time.

But this time is different.

Buying clothes for Toyokawa Shoko and Miko didn't take much time, but he spent most of the day browsing in the shopping mall and surprisingly didn't find it boring; instead, he found new enjoyment in it.

A real-life version of Love Nikki would be great, we should play it!

If it were just about buying clothes for someone, Akira Higashino might not find it interesting, but if the clothes are bought to provide emotional value to that person, then that would be great.

We must choose carefully!

If conditions allow, few men can resist the urge to choose a car with a finish that suits their taste.

After all, this is a big deal that concerns the driving experience!

"This set is good!"

"Maids are great! I'll buy a maid outfit!"

"Black stockings are an attack speed item, I have to consider them!"

"Hmm... these cute cotton over-the-knee socks are pretty too!"

"Kawasaki, I like cats, so wear those cat ears and tail too."

"Hiss..., are there really shops like this? This is too evil! We have to go in and give them a good talking-to!"

The girl walked ahead with her head down, her face almost completely red, without saying a word.

Upon hearing this guy's last request, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, turn around, and glare at him with a mixture of shyness and reproach.

Well, it seems the girl really doesn't want to go to this store. Higashino Akira looked at the poorly made clothes with very little fabric, which deserved to be severely criticized.

She was still a little reserved. Even though they were practically an old married couple and had long since worked things out, she knew exactly how to cooperate with each other with just a gentle tap.

However, Akira Higashino did not force it, believing that as time went on and their feelings deepened, there would always be an opportunity.

Moreover, Saki Kawasaki's shyness, her tendency to hum at first and forcibly hold back, and her eventual inability to resist tilting her head back and meowing later on, all contribute to her adorable charm.

After the two of them walked out of the mall carrying large and small bags, Kawasaki Saki emerged from her shyness and couldn't help but feel annoyed as she looked at the various clothes she was carrying.

"It's all your fault for buying so much at once. I don't know how to explain it to my family, especially since there are so many of those kinds of clothes. If they see them, I'm doomed."

"What's the big deal?" Higashino Akira smiled as he looked at her sullen expression and waved to the side.

A private car that was driving slowly nearby quickly pulled up and stopped on the side of the road.

"Let's go, get in the car first."

That's right, this car was bought by Akira Higashino to use for commuting in the city, mainly to avoid the situation like before where he took Saki Kawasaki out in the middle of the night, and the station was closed, leaving her unable to get home.

He didn't have a lot of money, but that was for big purchases like houses and land. If it was just for regular daily expenses, like buying a few cars that weren't even luxury cars, he wouldn't be able to spend it all.

The driver was also a re-employment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which made it easier to provide close protection, instead of everyone always hiding in the dark, on guard and waiting.

After picking up Saki Kawasaki, the two arrived at the house in Shimokitazawa that Akira Higashino and the professionals had cleaned the day before.

After he left yesterday, he arranged for someone to thoroughly clean the place and replace all the furniture and other items that needed replacing. Now that the risk of supernatural elements has been eliminated, it's ready for move-in.

Upon entering the house, Akira Higashino tossed a key to Saki Kawasaki.

“It’s inconvenient to go to the hotel every time, so let’s meet here from now on. We can leave the clothes that are inconvenient to take home here.”

"When you go back later, write down the driver's phone number and contact him to arrange pick-up and drop-off."

Although she was effectively being kept by him, and he paid her money on time every month, Kawasaki Saki never really had a direct sense of how wealthy he was.

After all, his usual attire isn't extravagant, so you can't tell anything from it.

Until now, this sudden thing—a driver picking me up and dropping me off, and even preparing a house specifically for the convenience of doing *that* kind of thing…

Kawasaki Saki suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she were living in some melodramatic TV series.

Will we see more storylines in the future, such as the wife discovering something is wrong and catching her husband cheating, or someone showing off a bank card with lots of money in it and telling her to leave?

Kawasaki Saki's mind was still a bit muddled, and she was lost in thought when Higashino Akira picked her up and grabbed a few bags from the sofa, heading towards the bedroom.

This snapped her back to her senses. To steady herself, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, sighed, and gave him a speechless look.

"Those clothes haven't been washed yet! You can't use them directly."

"It's alright, I can still annihilate the enemy without these peripherals!"

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira casually tossed the packaging bags aside, carried Kawasaki Saki into the bedroom, and kicked the door shut behind him.

This was truly a one-night stand worth a fortune. It was a one-time event, and for the next month or so, he wouldn't be in Tokyo, so he wouldn't have a chance to duo queue.

Switching to the sniper rifle, equipping the core item, the silencer, and loading bullets, she forced the enemy to disarm. After several back-and-forth exchanges and deep and shallow skirmishes in the strategic depth, the seemingly perfect offensive round was stubbornly held at the point of failure for nearly half an hour. Seeing that the retreat was about to fail, Kawasaki Saki finally couldn't hold back and first exposed an opening. Higashino Akira seized a crucial moment, aimed at the Yongquan acupoint, and fired a shot that hit the bullseye, declaring her defeat.

Seeing that Kawasaki Saki was still unwilling to accept defeat and had the strength to fight again, Higashino Akira was on fire and decisively invited her to play another game. After another round of back-and-forth, Kawasaki Saki, as the defender, was no match for Higashino Akira, who was on the attacking side and whose understanding of the map was getting deeper and deeper. He skillfully flanked her from behind and delivered a close-range kill.

After losing another game, Kawasaki Saki let out an adorable wail of defeat, collapsed onto the bed, buried her pretty face in the pillow, and said that she was half being unreasonable and half being coquettish. She said she would keep track of the score and that she would do it next time. She just didn't want to continue playing games with him now.

Ha, you newbie!

Even though he was nearing the end of his strength and the outcome of another round was uncertain, the victor, Akira Higashino, still righteously taunted him.

Kawasaki Saki is nothing, just two sets of characters she took away.

Such a smug and unforgiving attitude naturally angered people, and the girl was no exception. She angrily pulled the blanket over her head and complained softly that he wasn't just her as a game friend. Knowing that she was bad, he still singled her out to beat her, which was too mean. At least they should take turns.

Kawasaki Saki has certainly taken sex education classes; no one can withstand such high-intensity gaming every day. But this bastard only engages in battle with her every three to five days, always fully rested and ready to unleash all his firepower on her.

If she came every day, she would recover much faster as a woman and definitely wouldn't lose so badly every time.

If it's only once a week or even once every two weeks at most, then she's definitely not the only one who loses, so it's not that shameful.

Kawasaki Saki didn't believe this man would have a serious relationship. Besides his sister, she had bought him clothes for another girl she didn't know today, including everything inside and out. She didn't know what their relationship was.

Since they're all being supported, why is she the only one who gets summoned to fight every single time?

I'm unhappy...

go to bed.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: I'm Honest!

In the afternoon, Kawasaki Saki slowly woke up, sat up in bed, and then lazily stretched.

She glanced at the man beside her who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

He wrinkled his nose at him and made a face.

Just then, Higashino Akira, who wasn't particularly sleepy to begin with, opened his eyes, saw this scene, and smiled.

"It's so cute."

Akira Higashino's praise is always very straightforward; if something is good, it is good, and he doesn't hide his liking for it.

Such direct words instantly shattered the aloofness that Kawasaki Saki was trying to maintain by pretending to be fierce, causing the girl's fair face to flush red instantly. She hurriedly grabbed some clothes, put them on, and got out of bed, too embarrassed to stay with him any longer, afraid that this not-so-likable guy would say something embarrassing again.

Soon, the sound of running water filled the bathroom.

Akira Higashino wasn't in a hurry to get up. After all, his physical strength was stronger than Saki Kawasaki's. While Saki Kawasaki was so exhausted after the game that she would fall asleep immediately, Akira Higashino still had the energy to take a shower and replenish his fluids before resting.

After the sound of water in the bathroom stopped and a while later, the washing machine started running again, and Higashino Akira slowly got up.

Pushing open the door, I saw Kawasaki Saki standing there, looking conflicted.

As soon as she saw Higashino Akira come out, Kawasaki Saki quickly put her legs together. She didn't dare to fight him again. It was already late, and it would get dark soon!

She didn't expect to waste so much time before leaving home today, as she hadn't told her family in advance that she wouldn't be coming home tonight.

"Um, I'll come and get the sheets and the clothes I just wore to wash."

This is a private residence, unlike a hotel. No one comes to clean and change the clothes regularly. With such a fierce battle going on before, if we don't clean it properly before leaving, who knows what it will smell like next time we come.

"it is good."
