I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

After all, it was the first time she had lived under the same roof with a boy she had never met before. No one could be sure what kind of person he was or whether he had any extreme tendencies. She couldn't help but have many worries.

"Hmm, Jianzi, I guess I'll pick you up for school tomorrow too."

Yurikawa Hana, her arms around Miko's, her ample breasts squeezed out of shape, spoke with a firm and serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's little face puffed up, and she glared at the silly glutton with annoyance.

"Okay."

"Great!"

"I'll wait for you outside the door beforehand so we can go together."

"Ah?" the girl cried out in frustration, "Kimi, you're so mean...!"

"A fool who can be bought off with a single meal has no right to say such things."

"But Higashino-san doesn't seem like a bad person. Although he doesn't talk much and doesn't smile much, he's still a very gentle person."

"That's how you feel about everyone who treats you to food."

Yotsuya Miko let Yurikawa Hana hold her hand, teased her a little, but felt much more relaxed.

At least, this 'older brother' doesn't seem like a bad person, and he doesn't always seem aloof like he did when we first met.

In the warm morning light, the two girls chatted and laughed as they walked away together.

Higashino Akira, who stayed at home, didn't rush out. Instead, he pondered the new task prompts from the system while washing and drying the dishes and putting them back in their place.

[Permanent Main Quest Unlocked: Expanding the Family (In Progress). For each new harem member added, the guaranteed reward is +1000 Luck and +10000 Money daily.]

[As emperor, please appoint a concubine within three days to appease the people. Completing this task will reward you with an extra chance to draw a "Talented Advisor" item.]

This task was triggered when he met Yurikawa Hana, but the system hadn't reacted at all during the long time he spent with Yotsuya Miko.

What does it mean?

Should people with small breasts sit at the children's table?

Moreover, this new storyline clearly involves building a harem, but in a normal romantic relationship, few women would be willing to share a boyfriend with others.

Thinking about it, Higashino Akira took out his phone and sent a message to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

[Higashino: Getting married.]

[Jing Ke'ai: Really?!?]

[Higashino: That's fake. I'm against marriage, and I don't like women who smoke.]

[Jing Ke'ai: Higashino Akira, you're finished! Just you wait, I'll be at your doorstep as soon as I finish my classes today!]

[Higashino: (Location link)]

Akira Higashino issued a duel challenge.

Chapter Three: The Old Man Has No Martial Morality

Nothing much to do today: go racing, boxing, and drinking.

I spent a whole day with Hiratsuka Shizuka, and I have to say, if you were to ask her to be a buddy, it would be hard for anyone to refuse her. She's rich, has plenty of free time, is reliable, and has a lot of boyish hobbies.

You can get her to take a day off and go crazy with you with just three sentences.

The only problem was the drinking etiquette, which was just too much to bear.

As night deepened, Higashino Akira finally managed to pry open Hiratsuka Shizuka's limp body, which was leaning against him after her drunken outburst, crying and wailing as she lamented how he had deceived her feelings. He especially tried to pry open her ruthless iron arm that was gripping his neck, which was growing increasingly agitated as she spoke.

He secretly used his Qi-gazing power on her.

[100 points of luck consumed.]

[Name: Hiratsuka Shizuka]

[Age: 27]

[Fortune: Purple]

[The conditions have been met; shall we grant an imperial decree?]

"no."

Throughout the day, Higashino Akira had tried to appoint other women to his harem, but all of them failed to meet the requirements. They were either not good-looking or had mediocre character or talent, or their luck level was too low.

In particular, regarding the requirement of luck, Akira Higashino has reason to suspect that the level of luck carried by the characters who have appeared in anime is generally higher than that of the vast majority of ordinary people.

After meeting Yurikawa Hana in the morning and triggering a new main quest, I finally found a woman who met all the system's criteria by evening.

Unfortunately, it was Hiratsuka Shizuka.

It's not that Hiratsuka Shizuka is bad, it's that she's too good and too familiar. Higashino Akira doesn't want to settle down and marry her, nor does he want to deceive her feelings. He keeps her hanging on, wanting only to find a good man to marry, while he goes off to get entangled with other women.

That's how many things are; once you get involved, you suddenly have more concerns and considerations, and that leads to all sorts of troubles.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Higashino Akira pinched Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheeks and pulled them apart, "Can you even go home by yourself?"

"Damn it, you bastard! Even after graduation, you should at least show some respect to your former teachers!"

Treated like this by a former student, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was already confused and only knew how to whimper, instantly turned red. She quickly swiftly moved behind the bastard and grabbed his neck.

"Take this!"

"Damn it, you only spoke after you'd already unleashed a whole combo! That's no sportsmanship!"

Akira Higashino was so angry he laughed.

“That’s called outsmarting him, darling!” Hiratsuka Shizuka said without a hint of shame.

"Which channel did you switch to this time? Believe me or not, I'll use you as a expendable tool to block the bridge, you old bastard!"

"This world is so evil! Why is no one willing to marry me? All you popular people should just explode on the spot!"

"To say such a thing, you are more evil than the world."

Listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's incoherent ramblings, Higashino Akira sighed. "She's already this drunk after just a few drinks."

Too lazy to pull her away, he called the waiter over to pay the bill, then simply carried Hiratsuka Shizuka by the thigh and walked out of the izakaya on his back.

He took the Aston Martin keys from the drunkard, went out, found a designated driver, and gave them his home address.

Meanwhile, at the same time, in the living room, Yotsuya Miko, who had just returned home, sat alone on the sofa, hugging her knees. Across from her, the television was playing programs, with celebrities on variety shows making exaggerated and noisy laughs.

On the low coffee table in front of her were several 10,000 yen bills and a piece of paper torn from a notebook.

The handwriting on the paper is neat and legible.

"If you need to go out, don't wait for me. Lock the doors and windows. Dinner is on your own. This money is for this month's living expenses and daily spending. We can talk if you need more."

There was no signature.

Jianzi stared at the note for a long time, then looked at the small stack of banknotes next to it that clearly exceeded daily needs.

When I returned home in the afternoon, the house was empty.

The home is still the same home, but it has lost much of its warmth and human touch.

Yotsuya Miko didn't know where this 'older brother' had gone. Even though she had his contact information, she didn't dare ask him what he was doing or when he would be back.

She was afraid that the relationship wasn't close enough, and she was also afraid that she was just imagining things and that he would think she was acting like a child without an adult by her side.

but…

Without her mother's usual care, without going with the flow and following others' arrangements during the days of funeral arrangements, without the anxiety of getting along with her new "brother," there was nothing. Even though the TV volume had been turned up again and again, Yotsuya Miko felt for the first time that her world was so quiet.

The overwhelming sense of loneliness that washed over her, knowing that her mother would really be gone and she would be all alone in the world, enveloped her like a tidal wave.

Yotsuya Miko stood there stunned for a long time until a tear silently slid down her cheek, the hot tear gradually turning cold as it rolled down her cheek. Only then did she belatedly realize what was happening and reach out to touch the tear stains on her face.

"Hey, Jianzi, what's wrong? Did you think of something that made you unhappy? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Don't be afraid, Mommy's here. Mommy will always be by your side."

Yotsuya Miko got up, wiped away her tears, turned off the TV expressionlessly, went into the shower to wash up, then changed into her pajamas and lay down in bed.

The familiar voice was still ringing in my ears.

"Although that child is a little reserved, his mother can tell that he is a good child."

"He just didn't know Jianzi before and wasn't familiar with her. He didn't know how to get along with his suddenly added sister."

"Seeing the child is also a good child."

"So as long as Jianzi is willing to take the initiative to communicate with him more, after he understands Jianzi's personality and knows that Jianzi is a sensible and lovely child, he will definitely like our Jianzi."

"You've always been a man of few words, so please don't be like that anymore. You two will be family from now on, and it's not good for family to be too distant or unfamiliar with each other."

Yotsuya Miko pulled the blanket over her head, trying in vain to block out the sounds from her ears.

She dared not acknowledge the voice, nor did she dare tell Akira Higashino that she could see ghosts.

Since her mother's death, Yotsuya Miko has gained the ability to see spirits, and her vision becomes clearer with each passing day.

Every day, I feel countless evil spirits passing by, carrying all kinds of malice, trying to find someone who can see them. Some of these evil spirits even disguise themselves as normal to deceive those who can see them and reveal their flaws.

Miko Yotsuya really didn't dare to gamble on whether her mother's seemingly warm face was also a disguise, or whether it would end tragically if she were exposed.

She dared not risk being exposed in a world teeming with evil spirits, to tell Higashino Akira, the only person she could call family and who was still willing to take care of her, that she would drag him into another dangerous world.

Evil spirits exist in the world because of their obsessions. No matter how well they disguise themselves, they are no longer living beings, no longer the people they were in life.

Chapter Four: The Transparent World?

The sky wasn't fully bright yet, and the dim light barely seeped in through the gaps in the curtains. Yotsuya Miko rubbed her eyes and gently pushed open the door.

She didn't sleep well last night, and her head was still a bit groggy. Plus, the temperature has started to drop recently, and the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, making it even harder to get out of bed in the morning. If it weren't for the alarm clock, she definitely wouldn't have woken up by now.

She yawned and groped her way toward the bathroom in the dark, just as she stepped barefoot across the edge of the living room.

"Uh... um..."

A muffled, hoarse groan, as if squeezed from deep within the throat, came from the direction of the sofa.

Seeing Zi's steps suddenly stop, he instinctively turned his head to look in that direction, and then his whole body went numb, and a chill ran down his spine.

White teeth!

I had just woken up and hadn't realized what was happening when I looked at the other person!

In the dim light, a dark shadow was seen wriggling on the sofa.
