I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, she has become a mature and reliable older sister.

This is what they call personal charisma!

Jing Ke'ai looked proud.

Yotsuya Miko opened her mouth, looking at Hiratsuka-sensei who seemed to really know nothing. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she had genuinely never been in her room or was simply saving face for herself by not bringing it up.

Until…heard in my ear:

"It was Mom who went in. Jianzi is a girl, after all. She can't be so unhygienic. No boy will like her if she does that."

"Also, although Mom can understand doing that kind of thing, it's best not to do it too often, otherwise it will harm your body and turn you into a girl whose mind is only filled with that kind of thing."

"Mom doesn't mind that her son likes her older brother, but isn't this liking a bit too intimate?"

"Although there is no blood relation, and he is just a temporary guardian, it's not impossible for you to like him. Xiaoming is not a bad kid, but he is so promiscuous. If you are not mentally prepared, being with him will be very tiring and painful. Jianzi, are you really sure?"

The mother, now a spirit, spoke with a gentle tone tinged with lecturing and admonition.

Yotsuya Miko's ears turned a deep blush, and she felt both shy and afraid.

'Mom, please give your daughter some privacy.'

"I'm all grown up now, don't just come into my room!"

"Also, when did you become able to influence reality? You've been staying at home the whole time, yet you haven't been able to go out and kill people or devour other spirits to become stronger."

The girl's face was puffed up with frustration. After thanking and politely declining Hiratsuka-sensei's offer, she changed into her outdoor shoes and left home looking dejected.

Silently, she made a decision: to find a way to draw a clear line as soon as possible and ask the guardian spirit for help to see if she was strong enough to subdue her mother. If so, she would try to figure out whether her mother was an evil spirit who disguised herself to attack humans who could see her.

If so, actively expel... or even eliminate!

The dead are gone, the living are like this.

Hiratsuka-sensei is still alive, and her mother, who can already interfere with reality, is too dangerous for her. If something unexpected happens at any time, making her aware of her mother's existence and provoking her mother to attack her directly, that would be terrible.

When they arrived at their destination, Xiaohua and the others had already arrived.

Besides Xiaohua, there were other friends I met later.

She also has the ability to see spirits, but to a lower degree. She can basically only see spirits of the level of a little old man. However, because of this, she is fearless because of her ignorance, which makes Yuria Nigurodo, who is quite troubled by her, quite a headache.

And Michiru Ichijo, a professional model with exquisite features, who seems to be parasitized by a powerful tentacle monster or something, harbors special feelings for her that she finds hard to accept.

"Jianzi, you're late."

"Guomei~"

Yotsuya Miko sincerely apologized for being late and causing everyone to wait.

Then, Xiao Hua's sullen expression instantly brightened.

"Hmph, then I'll forgive Jianzi."

Yulia's eyes widened in surprise. "That's...that's it?"

"Yes."

Xiao Hua smiled sweetly, holding Yulia's arm with one hand and wrapping her other arm around Jianzi.

"After all, Miko has already apologized; she didn't do it on purpose."

"By the way, Jianzi, you don't look too good. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Yotsuya Miko shook her head, changing the subject, "Weren't we going shopping? Let's go first, otherwise we don't know how long we'll have to wait in line if we go too late."

"Oh yeah! Today there's a limited edition Mumu-chan keychain, if we're late we'll miss out! Let's go! Let's get going!"

.........

Shopping mall.

Akira Higashino accompanied Motoyo Nagasaki as they wandered from shop to shop, observing various fashionable clothes, as well as the styles and feel of the fabrics.

Clearly, the girl was preparing to make her own clothes, or more accurately, performance costumes, in preparation for her upcoming stage performance with mygo.

It's rare that Su Shi, ever since her mother caught her coming out of the bedroom with her boyfriend, has finally stopped being shy and has taken the initiative to invite her out on a date.

Akira Higashino made a point of setting aside a day to accompany her on her travels.

After all, he was indeed attracted to the girl's looks, liked her body, and didn't dislike her gentle personality.

The widow-like feelings of a teenage girl, the bittersweet experience of being a high school mom—who understands?

After all, he was the boss of a large corporation and the direct superior of commercial bands like Xiangzi's. To a certain extent, Nagasaki Motoyo trusted his aesthetic sense.

Therefore, whenever the girl liked a design or fabric, or had a new idea, she would ask for his opinion.

As for Akira Higashino, of course he would nod and say yes whenever asked.

After all, you can't expect someone who wears mostly black and white all year round to give any particularly insightful advice on girls' fashion and the band's individual expression.

"Hey~, Higashino-kun, please be serious!"

The girl looked at him with some displeasure, as he could only nod.

Hearing this, Higashino Akira sighed helplessly, "I really think it's pretty good. After all, it's Su Shi's design and your band's style. Only you guys are really confident in yourselves. Besides, good-looking people are more sophisticated than others even if they're wearing two burlap sacks. It's hard for me to criticize it against my conscience."

Honestly, this man has terrible taste in clothing, yet he can say incredibly embarrassing things with a straight face when it comes to sweet talk.

Nagasaki Motoyo's cheeks flushed slightly, and most of her dissatisfaction dissipated instantly. The remaining small portion also vanished completely when she saw the large, heavy bundle of fabric that he was helping her carry.

That's so unfair, this guy.

He was the one who stole Xiangzi away, yet he also managed to win her heart, making her unable to resist falling for him.

"Never mind, it was my fault for asking you to give advice without knowing Higashino-kun very well."

Thank you for your understanding.

"We've almost finished buying everything. Want to go buy some milk tea together?"

As a compensation.

Nagasaki Motoyo silently recited this in her heart.

Of course, it's only a small part of the compensation.

She will try her best to help Da Tou!

"My hands are already full, so I can't hold the milk tea."

Higashino Akira turned his head to look at the delicate, pretty face of the girl beside him, which was slightly flushed and had a healthy rosy glow. Even though she had only taken some skincare measures and hadn't put on much makeup, she was already exceptionally charming.

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo looked ahead with some embarrassment, keeping her eyes straight ahead, and said with a forced shyness in her voice, "If Higashino-kun doesn't mind, I can help you carry it. Just let me know when you want to drink it."

Higashino Akira thought for a moment, "How about buying two flavors?"

"It's possible, but why?" The girl was slightly puzzled, but did not refute it.

In response, Higashino Akira smiled faintly and said something that made her blush in the street and was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a moment: "Because, this way I can justifiably use the excuse of wanting to try a different flavor to drink the same cup of milk tea with Su Shi."

Before they knew it, the two had arrived near the milk tea shop.

Pushing open the door, several familiar figures immediately came into view.

"elder brother?"

"Brother Dongye!"

It was Jianzi and the others.

I never expected to run into him while accompanying my girlfriend on a date.

Tokyo is so small.

P.S.: 10,000+ words, plus 5 more chapters, I'm completely exhausted. Please point out any typos. The automatic typo check function of the word processing software isn't very useful. When I proofread it myself, because it's my own writing, I naturally have a version in my mind that I already know the correct format, which creates a cognitive bias and makes me unable to see typos. I still owe 29.5 chapters.

It's a new month again, and the website's free items have been refreshed. I hope everyone can give me lots of monthly tickets and death threats, okay? Without these, Watashi...

Chapter 245 I Can't Be Your Girlfriend, Wife, and Mother All at the Same Time

"It's you guys."

Although he had imagined running into Miko and the others during the date, since they did meet, Higashino Akira readily admitted it.

"Long time no see, good afternoon everyone."

"Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Motoyo Nagasaki."

He tilted his head to gesture to Nagasaki Motoyo, who looked somewhat bewildered by suddenly meeting her boyfriend's family.

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo instantly snapped out of her daze, her tense expression easing somewhat. She breathed a long sigh of relief and adopted her usual gentle and generous demeanor when socializing with others, offering a smile, "Hello."

At least, when this boyfriend faced his family and friends, his first reaction was to openly and generously introduce his girlfriend.

This incident left Nagasaki Motoyo feeling somewhat grateful and touched.

After all, regardless of how the two met at the beginning or how they got along later, although they did everything they should and shouldn't have done, it was really hard to say that there was any sweetness or romantic atmosphere between them.

In this situation, it's okay if he doesn't admit it and says they're just friends.

Yet he was so open and honest with me.

The girl gently pursed her lips.

Across the street, Yuri and her friends, who had unexpectedly run into acquaintances while out shopping, greeted the girl and, out of politeness, quickly returned the greeting and introduced themselves.

"Hello, I am Baihechuan Hua, please just call me Xiao Hua."

"Yitani Miko..."

"..."

The four girls introduced themselves one after another, and Akira Higashino added at the right time, "Kiko is my younger sister, and as for Hana... well, she's half a younger sister."

"What do you mean by half a sister~" The lively and cheerful Yurikawa Hana puffed out her cheeks and playfully punched the heartbreaker Miko's chest with her fist. "Miko and I are best friends, Miko's brother is my brother too!"
