I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

"Is this Brother Xiaoming's pet? It looks like it's having a lot of fun playing with its master."

Toyokawa Shoko: I'm happy you ****

Completely annoyed by the cat, Toyokawa Shoko jumped into Higashino Akira's arms, sat on his lap, and gave the girl opposite her a speechless glare.

You always assume the kitten is happy? Have you ever been a cat? You just spout nonsense!

He's so self-absorbed!

Higashino Akira patted Xiangzi's cat head and casually slapped away the master who wanted to jump up and continue chasing and playing with him.

The strong smell of straw in his palms made Toyokawa Shoko sneeze slightly and shake her head.

"She is one of my girlfriends."

Across from her, Amane Ei: "Huh?"

The girl tilted her head and stared blankly for a while.

Then, her gaze toward her elder brother was filled with pity and maternal love.

I've heard that some people are so lonely that they develop schizophrenia or fantasize about having friends who don't exist in other people's eyes. I never thought this was actually true.

My brother must have had a tough time in Tokyo these past few years.

His classmates are all in pairs, shopping, singing karaoke, and playing at amusement parks together. Meanwhile, his older brother, who comes from a small town and doesn't have much money, might not even have any girls interested in him, and might not even have any friends. He can only watch other people's happiness while he is all alone. Eventually, due to the immense pressure, he even starts fantasizing about having a kitten as his girlfriend.

Big cities are terrifying.

P.S.: I still owe one chapter to repay the interest on the recommendation votes I offered for the previous book. I still owe 36 chapters. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep now. I'll continue writing when I wake up. Although I don't dare to offer any more rewards, I still want to ask for some free votes and various items. Since it's the Lunar New Year event, if any of you brothers have any items that you don't need for the lottery, please feel free to donate them. If I accumulate a certain amount or a large sum, I will actively keep track of the owed chapters and try my best to add more chapters in the future to repay you. Love you all.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Night

Fortunately, my elder brother still has the lovely Ying to care for and cherish him.

It seems it's time to show off the results of all these years of bride training!

That evening, Higashino Akira refused Amamiya Emi's request to come over and take a bath together and help him scrub his back. He quickly finished his bath and went back to his bedroom to lie down, but he still couldn't escape her next move.

The bedroom door was pulled open, and the girl, still steaming with heat, slipped in like a little mouse. She quickly lifted a corner of Higashino Akira's blanket and crawled inside, humming a tune from some song as she nestled into his arms.

Lying down, I felt something was wrong. I reached into the blanket and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a cat and laying it outside.

No, that's not needed.

Toyokawa Shoko: ? ? ?

Akira Higashino paused in his phone-reading, glanced at the girl, said nothing, and continued looking at his phone.

However, this is not what the young woman wants. The beautiful bride is already in bed, how can she still be holding onto her phone!

No wonder my older brother is so lonely that he's adopted a cat as his girlfriend.

Amane Emi rolled over and lay on top of Higashino Akira, peeking her little head out from his chest and the crook of his arm where he was holding his phone, instantly blocking Higashino Akira's phone screen.

The girl even let out two energetic "haha" sounds.

That idiot is still laughing there.

"You're so annoying, go to sleep by yourself."

"No, my brother is finally home, I want to sleep with you."

"No, you're a grown woman now, and you still have such a bad sleeping posture. You'll steal the blanket. It's the middle of winter, and I'm afraid of catching a cold."

“But it’s so cold outside, and it’s so far from Ying’s bedroom. If Ying goes out from under the covers to go back to her bedroom, she might catch a cold and it will affect the preparations for the next few days.”

The girl was being coquettish and playful.

Higashino Akira sneered, "Then weren't you cold when you ran over here?"

“It’s different now. I just came out of the bathroom and I’m still warm. I’ve shared all that warmth with my brother, so I don’t have enough to go back with.”

Amane Akira happily nestled into Higashino Akira's arm and lay down, not wanting him to spend so much time on his phone late at night.

They had grown up together since childhood, so she wouldn't back down just because her brother seemed indifferent. After all, unless he had really done something wrong, her brother wouldn't get angry over this kind of coquettishness.

Being pampered by her older brother and being able to act spoiled without restraint is a privilege reserved for younger sisters.

Emi Amane's world is very small, so small that it only includes the small place of Okumizome. She only cares about the important people in her heart. Although her good friends always think she is silly, she is always happy because she doesn't think too much and just does her best to do what she should do. Her world is also very simple. Everyone else says that she was raised by her grandfather to be her brother's wife. Her grandfather said that it should be left to fate, but her brother is a good person and treats her very well, so she is actually willing.

When the girl found out he had a kitten as his girlfriend, she secretly felt a little mischievous and relieved.

I've heard that people in Tokyo are very restless and that relationships between men and women are very complicated.

Fortunately, her future husband did not go astray.

Otherwise, it would be a real headache.

My older brother is about to graduate, and my grandfather's health is also very poor. He will probably come back next year to inherit the shrine. Then they can live together every day again. As long as she is old enough, they can register their marriage and run the shrine together. Maybe my grandfather will be so happy that he can live to be a grandson and live a long and peaceful life.

Tiannv Muying closed her eyes, dreaming of a bright future.

She would occasionally open her eyes and steal a glance at Higashino Akira, then let out a silly yet somewhat cute low laugh.

Seeing her like this, Higashino Akira felt somewhat helpless. Considering that this only happens once a year, he decided to give her some face on the first day back home and could only turn off the lights, lie down, and prepare to rest.

Beside her, outside the blankets, Toyokawa Shoko was bristling with anger, glaring at the girl.

She was lying in my spot!

Even if you want to sleep together, why did you have to carry me out? Can't you sleep on the other side?

In this freezing weather, do you realize how much harm that action can do to a cat?

You brother-obsessed people are so mean!

In the pitch black, Toyokawa Shoko hesitated, then swallowed his frustration and crawled back into bed from the other side.

She made up her mind that if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely keep this bad guy in Tokyo, preferably not coming back all year round, or even not coming back for several years. Every holiday, she would make a video call to him so that the girl could see it, to make her angry and get revenge!

As for now, I'll remember this grudge!

snort…!

That night, Higashino Akira couldn't sleep.

He didn't care much about the idea of ​​a child bride. After all, Ying was someone he had raised since childhood. They were too familiar with each other, so he really just saw her as a younger sister, and it was hard for him to have any other thoughts.

However, in recent years, the frequency of returning to my hometown has decreased, and the time intervals have lengthened.

Before he knew it, Ying had grown into a graceful young woman. Even if Higashino Akira had no intention of being with her, with his arms wrapped around her chest, he could not help but feel the curves of the young girl's beautiful body. As a young man with a normal body, abundant energy, and who had seen and experienced many things, he couldn't help but have some thoughts, and his body spontaneously became hot.

On my first day back home, I missed Saki Kawasaki.

Why don't we just buy her some train tickets and let her bring her whole family on a trip to the countryside?

Higashino Akira took out his phone, turned on the screen, and prepared to send her a message to reconnect and distract her.

As a result, in the darkness, as soon as the phone screen lit up, the girl next to him raised her head slightly, her clear and clean eyes blinking as she stared at him.

Forget it.

Higashino Akira sighed, turned off his phone, placed it on the pillow, lay back down, and then turned around, facing away from Amamiya Akira.

I don't want to talk to her, she's such an annoying nagging old woman.

Someone was poking his back little by little with their fingers. Higashino Akira opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"hug…"

Behind me, I heard a soft, girlish voice.

Without even thinking, Higashino Akira refused, "No, it's too hot."

Hmm… the girl was feeling down.

He immediately encouraged himself, telling himself that there was still a long way to go and he would continue to work hard.

The next day, early morning.

Winter days come exceptionally late, and winters in Okumizome are much colder than in Tokyo, making it especially difficult to open one's eyes and leave the warm blankets during this frigid season.

But the phone kept ringing in my ear, eventually waking me from my sleep and shattering my beautiful winter dream.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Dongye on Horseback!

Higashino Akira lay in bed for a long time, mentally preparing himself, then sighed and finally opened his eyes.

Open your eyes, and then.

A pair of clear, clean, and watery eyes came into view.

Higashino Akira's heart skipped a beat. He quickly realized that he had turned his back to Ying when he fell asleep last night, but he didn't know when Ying had ended up in his arms.

What's even more suffocating is that he had gotten used to sleeping with girls in his arms. Whether it was Kawasaki Saki or Toyokawa Shoko, his body instinctively made the same movements he would make when he was with them, placing his hands in places that shouldn't be there.

Even through her pajamas, he could clearly feel the girl's well-developed, healthy, full figure and elasticity.

The girl's originally pure and lovely face was now flushed red. She gently bit her lip, her eyes were a little hazy, and she lay there obediently and quietly, gazing at him.

Higashino Akira paused for a moment, then could only feign calmness as he let go and sat up from the bed.

"It's getting late, get up."

"Ah."

Behind her, the girl's eyes were filled with shyness mixed with a hint of secret joy.

The morning passed peacefully. After washing up, Higashino Akira rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, only to be gently pushed out by Amaneme Ei.

He said the family kitchen is a girl's battlefield, and she doesn't need his help.

Culinary skills are an important achievement for a bride's self-cultivation.

Higashino Akira had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted, while he picked up his phone and went outside to answer it.

"Your Majesty, the assassins who were detained yesterday died in an accident last night."

"Moreover, their bodies decomposed too quickly. According to the autopsy results, their bodies should have shown abnormalities long before death, but these abnormalities only manifested rapidly after death."

"Before they died, they were almost all in a state of mental confusion. The bureau tried everything, but couldn't get anything out of them."

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira did not blame the other party for incompetence. It was understandable that ordinary criminal investigation methods would not be very effective when encountering such supernatural events, especially when the versions of the cases were different.
