I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

They even have time to care about and observe Kaguya-sama's condition.

It's still quite strange, isn't it?

Kaguya went to rest so early, she only took a quick shower and didn't even take a hot bath.

This is a very, very big problem!

Hayasaka Ai walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, carefully dried herself, dried her hair, and changed into clean pajamas.

He went next door and knocked on Kaguya's door.

"Kaguya-sama, may I come in?"

There was a flurry of activity coming from inside the house, but no response.

Hayasaka Ai waited at the door for two seconds, then pushed the door open and went in.

Arriving at Kaguya's bedside, he saw her covered herself tightly with the blanket, her face flushed, and her eyes closed as if she were pretending to be asleep.

If I hadn't heard noises coming from inside the house while I was outside the door, I probably would have been fooled by her cuteness.

However, there are far too many flaws in this.

Hayasaka Ai silently shook her head at this. She had watched this child grow up. What made Kaguya think that she could be fooled by such clumsy acting?

"Ouch, it's so hot! Do you have a cold?"

Hayasaka placed her hand on Kaguya's rosy cheeks, gently pinched and tugged, and teased her in an emotionless tone.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately opened her eyes, pretending to be still groggy.

"Hayasaka, what are you doing in my room?"

Hayasaka Ai's lips curled up slightly. "I came in because I heard a little noise and Kaguya-sama didn't respond. By the way, Kaguya-sama seems to be sick. Her face is so hot. Should I contact your family doctor for you?"

"No need!" Kaguya Shinomiya's voice involuntarily rose a little, then she realized that she sounded too guilty, and quickly tried to explain, "I just... had a nightmare! Yes! That's it, I'm not sick!"

"really?"

Hayasaka Ai put her hands behind her back, leaned over, bent down slightly, and looked into Kaguya's eyes. Seeing this, Kaguya, who was a little uncomfortable, quickly reached out and pushed her away a bit.

"real!"

"In any case, Hayasaka, you may leave."

"Go and get some rest. You have class tomorrow, so don't stay up late."

"That's an order!"

"Received~", Hayasaka, who was good at fooling people, responded with a drawn-out tone, and leisurely left the room, closing the door behind her.

Behind her, Kaguya Shinomiya let out a long sigh of relief.

My tense heart finally calmed down.

She reached out and cupped her face in her hands, letting out a shy, pitiful cry.

Oh no, I can't forget those taboo facts after reading them once!

It turns out that having a child through sexual intercourse isn't just about kissing, nor is it about a stork delivering a baby to your door.

That kind of thing is terrifying!

Such a small entrance.

There's no way you can get in no matter how hard you try!

Kaguya Shinomiya blushed and her heart raced.

Having just finished reading a forbidden 'comic,' she didn't have the courage to continue. Filled with shame, driven by her strong self-control, she closed her eyes, tried to remain calm, and gradually fell asleep.

Night was falling.

Kaguya Shinomiya's bedroom door was quietly pushed open, and Ai Hayasaka once again entered. She came to the bedside, looked at Kaguya's peaceful sleeping face, and skillfully reached her hand into her blanket. After a quick search, she found nothing, then reached under the pillow and successfully pulled out a book.

That's why I said Kaguya's little schemes couldn't be kept secret from anyone.

You're such a grown-up, yet you hide things in such a simple place, like a little kid.

Holding the book up to her eyes, Hayasaka Ai glanced at the cover and her eyes widened slightly, her expression somewhat complicated.

"The Fallen Aristocrat Tsubaki Rurikawa"?

After a quick glance.

Is Kaguya-sama trying to learn how to win over that man using this thing?

Isn't this teaching how to get taken down?

Besides, who in their right mind would learn dating tips from a book?

This is so unreliable.

.........

Chiba, prepare some light wine; Higashino Akira bids farewell to Kongming.

The group recently has a series of projects in China that need someone to sort out and manage. In addition, Kongming himself also feels that he wants to go back to his hometown to take a look and reminisce about the past.

Although Akira Higashino was reluctant, he had no choice but to let him go.

Before leaving, he asked Kongming when he would return and what his purpose was.

Kongming only said that he would return in about a month.

As for where to go, I'd like to visit Sichuan and revisit familiar places.

Akira Higashino always felt that going to check if his own body was in his grave, paying respects at the Wuhou Temple to see what its decor looked like, and maybe even offering incense to his good friends was a bit too hellish.

I left the izakaya with a faint smell of alcohol on my breath.

Higashino Akira decided not to go on a date or choose a house to rest in. Instead, he returned to the nearby Yunmeng Group employee dormitory and decided to use the same room as last time to take a nap.

Since he didn't live there often, the staff dormitory didn't have any daily necessities or drinking water. Higashino Akira turned and walked downstairs to the convenience store.

"Welcome, good evening."

As soon as I entered the store, I heard a distinctly local accent coming from behind the counter.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Akira Higashino paused, turned his head, and caught sight of the expressionless, blue-haired scumbag. He was stunned for a moment.

What are you doing here? Where's Yamada?

Upon hearing this, Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, tilted her head, raised two index fingers and pointed to her profile, trying to look cute, but she couldn't be cute at all. "I am Yamada."

Akira Higashino: "..."

I'm your second uncle!

"What are you doing at the convenience store so late at night?"

"part time."

"So, here's the question: what about your salary?"

Akira Higashino looked at the guy speechlessly, "I've never mistreated you guys, and I've never been late with employee salaries."

Yamada spread his hands. "Higashino-kun, you know me. I've always treated money like dirt. I spend all my salary as soon as I get it, so as not to let the money rot in my hands."

"You're really something," Higashino Akira said quietly.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Yamada, in her blue-haired form, proudly tilted her head back, put her hands on her hips, and declared, "That's just how we band members are!"

"Be careful, if Hongxia hears this, she'll cry."

Hearing this, Yamada Ryo laughed even harder, her face flushed, revealing two rows of neat, sparkling white teeth. "She can't out-cry me! Besides, it was Nijika who kicked me out of the dorm to do part-time work."

"What does it mean?"

"After all, I not only spent all my newly earned salary on music equipment, but I also borrowed some manure from Boqi-chan, which I haven't paid back yet, hehe~"

"Where is the original Ms. Yamada?"

"Shift work."

Higashino Akira couldn't help but click his tongue. The manager of this convenience store really hit the jackpot.

They recruited so many Yamadas.

Moreover, Liang, ever since he decided not to continue his studies and signed a contract with Yunmeng to ensure he had enough to eat and drink and a place to live, seems to have become increasingly carefree and abstract.

Sometimes I'm even too lazy to go to school.

I haven't officially graduated yet, so I should at least show some respect for the teaching system. I'm not afraid of missing too many classes and not getting my diploma in the end.

To be fair, this convenience store is actually one of Yunmeng's many basic livelihood businesses. That's why it was able to get such a good location, right next to the employee dormitory building, siphoning off the daily necessities consumption power of this small area of ​​Yunmeng Group employees.

I turned around, went into the store, picked out a bottle of water, went to the counter, checked out, and paid.

Throughout the entire process, Liang stared at him with dead fish eyes.

Akira Higashino couldn't help but sigh.

"You're really not very good."

Yamada Ryo put on a cat-like face and said, "Even someone like me would be sad to hear something like that. Higashino-kun is so mean."

"You're the one who's going too far." Higashino Akira rolled his eyes. "As a customer, I'm here to spend money, and you should be treating me warmly. How did things turn out like this? Not only do you not even smile, but you're also cold and have a blank look in your eyes, as if I owe you money."

"That's what makes me so endearing."

"Cute my foot!" Higashino Akira said irritably. "Give me a smile right now, or I'm going to complain to the manager!"

Yamada Ryo sighed helplessly, looking like he really couldn't do anything about it.

In order to earn the part-time income that hadn't yet arrived, they had no choice but to obediently comply and put on a forced, emotionless smile.

Akira Higashino silently covered his mouth as he watched.

"What do you mean?"

When asked, Higashino Akira silently turned away, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you."

Why does Higashino-kun look like he's about to vomit?

"That's not true."
