I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

In response, the taciturn little girl replied calmly and expressionlessly, "Because Master Higashino is a womanizer and has many girlfriends."

"What makes you so disrespectful to me?" Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "Although I may be a bit sentimental, I've never forced anyone or presumptuously interfered in anyone's relationship, have I?"

They're all respectable people; it's so shameful for them to compete with others for their fiancées.

"However, marrying Lord Higashino will allow me to survive."

Bao Yue Ye Xiao reached out and grasped the hand of this deity. “Ai Yi’s family has always worshipped Tai Sui Xing Jun. They select women in the family who are over twenty years old to become the deity’s brides. Although they are called brides, their actual function is as a living sacrifice.”

Well, so it's true that the customs and traditions in Japan are quite something.

It's too easy for things to go astray. It's one thing for the Demon Mother Goddess to go astray, but even the style of the Tai Sui Star Lord's divided spirit has become primitive after it came over.

Using people as living sacrifices is ancient history, dating back thousands of years. It's unbelievable that there are still righteous gods of Chinese origin turning back the clock of history.

Although Tai Sui is a malevolent deity, it is a well-known figure in the Chinese pantheon and has long since transcended worldly concerns. Normally, it wouldn't have fallen to such a low level.

How old is she?

Akira Higashino asked the question.

Upon hearing this, Bao Yue stammered and couldn't speak, her eyes darting around and avoiding his gaze.

Seeing this, Higashino Akira reached out and pinched the little girl's face, forcing her to face him.

Looking into my eyes!

"Sixteen years old..."

Higashino Akira pinched the little guy's chubby cheeks hard and smiled.

He knows it!

Therefore, the girl named Ai Kamishiro normally has at least several more years to live, so there's no rush.

When Bao Yue came to him for help, it was partly because she had already made a bold statement and confronted Tai Sui, and Tai Sui was waiting for her to come to Kyoto. On the other hand, there might have been an element of kindness, but more likely it was because this guy had his eye on Tai Sui's spirit, a legendary and extremely rare Pokémon.

She has always suffered from a fear of insufficient firepower, and is constantly accumulating strength, for which she does not hesitate to repeatedly enter various high-risk and paranormal locations to capture powerful evil spirits.

Perhaps she had some compelling reasons and goals to achieve, but to others, these were all too dangerous, especially since she herself was just a child.

Higashino shook his head, not intending to agree. Even if he were to lend her the money, it would be more reliable to wait until Xiaoyexiao was absolutely certain of success before sending someone to cover for her. How could he possibly combine forces to gamble on a 50/50 chance of winning?

"Lord Higashino."

Baoyue still doesn't want to give up on late-night snacks.

"Ok?"

She took out her phone and handed it to Higashino Akira, saying, "This is a photo of Ai."

Higashino Akira glanced at it, completely unmoved. "Isn't this pretty ordinary?"

The minimum standard of appearance in the world of anime and manga is already high. Most ordinary girls have at least a pretty and decent face, and with a little grooming, they are at the level of the most beautiful girl in their class in the previous three-dimensional world.

Based on this, there's not much room for girls to improve their looks further. Once they're good-looking to a certain extent, their charm comes more from their attire, temperament, and social standing.

This blonde girl named Ai Kamishiro is only slightly above average in looks. Her figure is not outstanding, and her clumsy attempt at dressing as a sexy girl completely hides her natural cuteness. Her overly exaggerated, non-mainstream purple eyeshadow is fatal, a complete negative enhancement.

It wasn't that Higashino Akira was biased; based on first impressions alone, he felt that his sister-in-law, Toyohama Kazuka, was way cuter than this girl.

"What does it mean?"

"Aiyi is actually a loyal player of 'Okumizome Monogatari'. She goes to the Yunmeng Shrine in the game to worship and make offerings every day."

Higashino Akira's face fell, and he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

As expected, Bao Yue's next words shattered his idea of ​​staying out of it.

"When I confronted Tai Sui last time, Ai Yi said that she preferred a handsome and tall god like you, who is flesh and blood, to a cruel, terrifying being who is not even as tall as a girl."

"Then, the Grand Duke Jupiter was very angry."

Akira Higashino nodded. "I'm angry too."

He reached out and touched Xiao Yexiao, pulling out a physics-themed holy sword from her clothes, along with some clever little gadgets, placing them aside so he wouldn't hurt his hand when he spanked her later.

"He has made a covenant, and we are waiting to challenge Him together."

"Who's 'us' with you?"

Realizing she was about to get a beating, Xiao Yexiao quickly explained, "I didn't teach Ai Yi to say that."

Unmoved by his words, Higashino Akira raised his hand high and said, "That doesn't stop me from wanting to slap you."

"Wait! I can love too! As long as you don't mind, I can be your bride!"

Akira Higashino slapped his hand down, and a "smack" rang out. "I'm not a lolicon. A kid like you has absolutely no charm in my eyes."

"Ouch~, that hurts!"

"Really? But I think it feels really good."

"Yongzi, save me~"

"Hey! Me?"

Takatsuki Eiko stared wide-eyed and pointed at her own nose.

"Yes, let's plead with Master Higashino together. Eiko is a great beauty, so you should join us too. Master Higashino will definitely soften his heart."

"But…"

"If Master Higashino doesn't agree, we'll both get beaten up. Eiko's butt is bigger than mine, so Master Higashino definitely won't hit her hard, and even if he does, it won't hurt much."

"Huh? Am I going to get a spanking from my senior too?!"

"Correct!"

Watching the two sisters openly plotting in front of her, oblivious to everyone else, Takatsuki Eiko blushed deeply with embarrassment.

Without any mercy, Higashino Akira slapped him again, complaining irritably, "What do you mean right? This is wrong!"

This brat usually runs around with his armor stacked too thickly, and his clothes are wide, big, and a bit thick. His injury reduction is too high, so he doesn't feel much pain at all.

It's really impressive that she, a quiet little girl, put so much effort into acting out a crying face, even though she was being chased and killed by evil spirits and crawling around in the wild without showing any expression.

After a lesson that was neither too severe nor too mild.

Higashino asked Xiaoyexiao when the agreed-upon time with Taisui would end, but she said she didn't know. Taisui simply said he would wait for her to come to him.

However, given that the other party seems rather petty and has a lot of free time, and is keen on having fun, the final showdown shouldn't be too far off.

If they don't come to their door first, the other party might call them first.

It would be better to strike ahead of time, set up the battlefield in Kyoto, arrange the formation in advance, and lay an ambush on the Grand Duke Jupiter.

When Higashino Akira heard this, he did not directly deny it, but told them to wait and not to rush into any action.

Tokyo is his sphere of influence; even if the powerful come, they might not necessarily get away with it.

However, if we can stall for time and wait until he has completely taken over the psychic world of Tokyo and has a strong army, then we can go together to attack the divided spirit of Tai Sui Xing Jun. Two fists can't fight four hands, and no matter how strong the opponent is, they will be exhausted and defeated in the endless battle of human wave tactics.

Of course, Higashino Akira didn't help without expecting anything in return. He gave Xiaoyexiao and Qinzi the same choice: bring their family wealth and join the Yunmeng system, becoming one of the Yunmeng pantheon's own people. In that case, helping her would be perfectly justified.

The only difference is that, as a human, Bao Yue Ye Xiao would have had a hard time being conferred the title of subordinate god during her lifetime, and she was too young to even meet the conditions for being conferred the title of harem.

It's not that he can't forcibly bestow titles, but the thought of adding an elementary school student to his harem makes Higashino Akira feel that it's a bit too perverted.

As an alternative, Tsukiyoko would intern at the Yunmeng Group, while Koya would temporarily take on the role of a shrine maiden.

Xiao Yexiao was initially reluctant to agree, but upon hearing that joining Yunmeng would still allow them to borrow troops and use those graduates to fight other evil spirits, she was moved.

Moreover, after witnessing firsthand that of the two graduates she handed over to Akira Higashino, the once rebellious courtesan had become even stronger and was now in a state of clear-headedness and rational control, she thought it over again and finally nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Higashino Akira asked her what concerns she still had at the time.

I only learned a new code name from her: Void Death.

All her preparations were aimed at defeating this special and powerful evil spirit, whose whereabouts were currently unknown, and reclaiming her mother's soul from its grasp.

That's why she disregards the danger and works tirelessly in various high-risk paranormal locations to capture evil spirits, using an efficient "breeding" method to cultivate powerful graduates in a short period of time to accumulate strength.

Even if most of those graduates are uncontrollable, they will be unable to distinguish friend from foe once released.

Although recently an elderly woman wanted to take her on as an apprentice and taught her a lot of knowledge.

However, apart from having a pair of naturally born yin-yang eyes, she is not a special psychic genius. Orthodox psychic cultivation is too slow, and she cannot wait that long.

After learning about this, Higashino patted her ahoge (a cowlick-like hair sticking up) and told her to hurry up and gather the other graduates to receive their titles.

With Xiaoyexiao around, the task of conquering all directions and subduing the rebellious can be entrusted to her. On the one hand, it will allow her to get familiar with the abilities of those subordinate gods, and on the other hand, it will also be a training exercise.

Higashino Akira thought again, perhaps she has the potential to go from an ordinary Dark Pokémon Trainer to a Night Celestial in the Cloud Dream Divine system.

After all, the goal is to develop into a regular army, and there's no reason to give demons and monsters a path to advancement while ignoring the human population.

P.S.: Sorry for the slow pace. It's mainly because it's not easy to write. Compared to the daily life content, I had to stop and start writing, often getting stuck, and then I would go to look up some information. An hour would pass and I would only write a few hundred words. Although I tried my best to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses and control the length of this kind of plot, the overall tone of the novel was set in the early stages, so there was always some supernatural content and battles that were unavoidable. If there were no such content at all in the later stages, it would be very strange.

Chapter 253 Rainy Day, Finding a Drunken Angel

"Here you are, afternoon tea. Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

In the afternoon, the members of the band mygo gathered together. As the host, Nagasaki Motoyo had prepared snacks and drinks in advance to treat everyone.

Watching everyone chatting and laughing, discussing performance arrangements and creative ideas, Su Shi couldn't help but purse her lips slightly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Speaking of which, wasn't it that guy who said he would make his own performance costumes? But when the time came, he never showed up."

The overly meticulous drummer couldn't stand the aimless idleness and, seeing that the band of five only had four members on stage, he couldn't help but complain.

"Maybe something happened on the way and delayed her. I received a message from Ai-yin saying that she had already left."

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo subconsciously offered an explanation, speaking up for Aine while also comforting Ritsuki.
