I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Representatives from multiple departments, including film and television, entertainment, and arts, conducted an internal screening and evaluation of the animation "Lonely Rock".

Well, perhaps it's because I'm getting old and can't keep up with the times.

People generally felt that this animation was of mediocre quality, and they couldn't understand the purpose of the abstract visuals and scenes created to save time and money. They felt that the quality was far inferior to the company's previous animated work, "Your Name," and the story was only mediocre.

Can such works truly fulfill the mission of alternative publicity and make money to recoup costs?

Given the tendency of working professionals to guess what their bosses are thinking, knowing that a certain young woman is their boss's girlfriend might make them suspicious, but when it comes to the final written evaluation, most of them still write a medium to high rating.

As for Akira Higashino, after briefly glancing at the animation style, which was similar to his previous life, he didn't pay much attention.

After all, there have been successful cases.

If it really fails and the effect is not satisfactory, it doesn't matter. It didn't cost much anyway. If we extend the timeline, as long as the band doesn't have a major scandal and be forced to leave the scene, we can always make it back.

Instead, the girl sitting next to him felt a sense of shame, as if she were being publicly executed, because she saw her cartoon image and inner thoughts being revealed to the public. Her little face turned into a blushing pink slime and she softly collapsed onto his lap, muttering that she was going to be disliked by the fans. The image of the tall and handsome older sister that was about to shatter in Erli's heart attracted his attention even more.

Higashino Akira reached out and placed his hand on the girl's soft little face, gently kneading it.

The person who invented this adorable little thing, Goto Ichiri, is a genius.

Cute and cuddly, yet also cowardly and reckless, it's addictive and irresistible.

Private First Class Goto Ichiri.

"Here...here!"

"Tonight, I have a glorious yet arduous task to entrust to you. You must complete it. Do you have the confidence?"

"No...no."

"Ok?"

"have…?"

"Speak louder!"

Yes...yes!!!

"Good, very spirited!" Looking at the girl's adorable appearance as she answered with her eyes closed and her face flushed, Mr. Higashino nodded in satisfaction. "Tonight, only victory is allowed, and retreat is not permitted. We must fight until the end of the battle, until complete victory!"

"I know this is difficult, but it's an order!"

"Yes...yes."

"Military orders are absolute. If you fail to obey them, I will hold you accountable."

"Eh?!?!"

The girl opened her eyes in a panic, meeting her boyfriend's gentle, smiling gaze, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

It felt like there was a hidden fire burning inside my body. As long as the blower pumped air into my body to add fuel, it would turn into an open flame and explode.

Night, Chiba, Yunmeng staff dormitory.

The artist's wife, who had finished drawing the first drafts of a week's worth of character designs while lying on her big bed, glanced at her daughter beside her, who was also holding a tablet and imitating her style with her childish brush.

"Sagiri-chan".

"Ok?"

Do you want to go to Tokyo?

"Amusement park?"

"No, it's about moving there to live and go to school."

"Yes!" The white-haired little girl nodded without hesitation, looking at her mother with expectant eyes, afraid that her mother would change her mind.

Seemingly realizing that this wasn't quite right, the little one softened his tone and added, "Wherever Mommy goes, I'll go."

Upon hearing this, the wife was deeply moved.

Little did they know that this was actually because a malicious adult had teased the little girl, causing her to still be traumatized by the thought that there might be ghosts near her current "home".

P.S.: 4,000+ words, two chapters combined. I've been moving recently and I'm too tired, so I can't increase my update frequency for now. Sorry.

Chapter 268 Resource Sharing

December.

Tokyo.

A branch of Yunmeng Staff Primary School, which was originally a private school, was directly acquired and reorganized.

Dressed elegantly and virtuoso, with her hair tied in a side ponytail typical of married women, the legendary illustrator Eromanga, who is actually a single mother, is holding her daughter's little hand as usual, taking her to her new school.

Although Sagiri-chan said she didn't need to be picked up or dropped off, it's still hard to feel at ease knowing that the child has just arrived here and is unfamiliar with the area.

The school isn't too far away.

However, only Japanese people understand Japanese people.

As someone with rather unique interests and hobbies, she understands all too well the pressure that those who are different from others face in the school environment of this country.

A child who transfers to a school midway through their studies may not be able to quickly integrate into an existing student circle and find like-minded individuals.

The situation they will face afterward, even if it is just emotional isolation, is enough to break a child who is in the process of growing up and needs recognition and communication.

As a mother, she couldn't change these phenomena.

I can only try to pick up and drop off my child as often as possible to prevent any accidents from happening to Sagiri on her way to and from school. I hope that the Unmu Workers' School in Tokyo is like the one in Chiba, with responsible teachers, strict supervision, and proper guidance for students to prevent bullying incidents.

Then pay more attention to Sagiri every day, and if you find any problems, take Sagiri back to her school as soon as possible.

At her age, and having become a mother, nothing is more important to her than her own child.

At worst, I can quit my job and continue working as a freelance illustrator.

Although the benefits and treatment may not be as stable and good as when she worked in Yunmeng, Sagiri is not starving.

The wife was quite confident in her cooking skills.

Fortunately, perhaps it was thanks to the protection of the Eastern Emperor, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

"Sagiri, over here~"

Not far from the school gate, a blonde girl with pigtails greeted her daughter.

Then, Sagiri-chan also said goodbye to herself with a joyful expression, and then ran over to take the child's hand.

"Good morning, Eriri!"

The two children seemed to get along surprisingly well.

The wife was surprised that her usually introverted and shy daughter could make friends so quickly, and she couldn't help but feel gratified.

On the way back to the company, I felt a little ashamed. In this respect, Sagiri-chan had far surpassed her, the mother.

She was even worried that Sagiri would be bullied or isolated.

Looking back now, I realize I had too little confidence in Sagiri-chan.

Since that's the case, then tomorrow we'll listen to Sagiri-chan and not pick her up or drop her off; let her take the school bus to school by herself.

Around noon.

At the company cafeteria, the wife got her food and, while eating, made up her mind that she would have to give Sagiri more trust and support in the future.

Unbeknownst to them, in a quiet corner of the Yunmeng Primary School library, a complementary initiative for resource sharing was unfolding.

Did you bring your things?

Like a spy making a rendezvous, Eriri cautiously looked around, afraid that someone might suddenly approach, and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Sagiri nodded affirmatively, took out the tablet she usually used to practice drawing from her bag, and showed Eriri a few exquisite and slightly erotic illustrations.

"What about you?"

"I brought one too!"

Eriri pulled out several comic books of different themes from her schoolbag and handed them to Sagiri. Then she took the tablet from Sagiri and secretly flipped through the various exquisite illustrations like a thief. She was captivated by the cute yet erotic style, and her face turned slightly red. She didn't forget to transfer a copy of these illustrations to her own device.

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the window into a corner of the elementary school library, warmly bathing two adorable little girls.

Eriri and Sagiri each held different mediums in their hands, looking at the works with different styles, and quietly discussing the various storylines about the two-dimensional world and the techniques of illustration creation.

As for why it's in this place...

That's because there are too many students in the classroom and art club, and it's not convenient for those immature kids to see what they're talking about.

For them, who share the same hobbies and lofty ideals and have clear goals and plans for their future even while still in elementary school, those other children are too naive.

Future great cartoonists and famous illustrators don't have time to play house with those kids.

They're already fifth graders, so they should become famous as early as possible.

Time waits for no one. In order to amaze everyone someday, I must seize the time to hone my skills.

Within the country of Sri Lanka!

Sagiri-chan's mom is amazing!

Little Eriri was deeply shocked.

Sagiri did the same, giving high praise to the various "manga" and storylines provided by Eriri.

Eriri's mom is amazing!

The only drawback is that the subject matter isn't her type.

She still prefers stories that unfold normally between boys and girls.

The animated series "Lonely Rock" has been released for almost a month since its completion, and nearly half of the twelve episodes have already been broadcast.
