I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Seeing this, Higashino Akira silently put down his teacup.

"I'm telling you, you can't outrun me, do you believe me?"

.........

.........

P.S.: Two in one.

Chapter 276 Love is War!

"Then come here! Anyone can sit there like an old man and spout nonsense!"

Upon seeing the man she admired, she recalled how all her efforts had been in vain for someone else's benefit. Feeling a bit resentful towards Kasugano Sora for her lack of ambition, she reached out and made a show of grabbing at Higashino Akira twice in a defiant manner.

"Miscellaneous fish"

Playful Emi, in high spirits, grinned and approached her older brother, sticking out her tongue and making a face, "Little fish~ Little fish~"

However, this idiot probably didn't judge the distance well.

One of them, amused and exasperated, reached out and grabbed the imposter little brat, arresting her on the spot.

I originally wanted to get Kasugano Sora as well.

However, this guy was much more astute than his own silly and adorable friend, and immediately ran away to create some distance.

"Huh!?"

No! Aren't we teammates?

Why did you abandon your teammates and run away alone?

Tiannv Muying opened her mouth in a daze, her smile instantly freezing and turning into an awkward, almost tearful laugh as she looked longingly at her elder brother.

"Onii-chan~", the girl Aying said apologetically with a sob in her voice, saying that she was wrong and trying to awaken her brother's love for his sister.

However, Akira Higashino was not buying it at all.

Girl, you don't just know you're wrong, you know you're going to be a rat!

He grinned wickedly, picked up the snowball that the foolish little devil had just thrown at him, and held it in front of him.

"A special treat for royalty, please enjoy!"

The mighty Emperor of Yunmeng chuckled wickedly, ignoring his younger sister's pleas for mercy, and pressed the snowball directly onto her little face. Listening to her screams, his laughter grew even more innocent.

Just then, another snowball came flying from afar, and Higashino Akira caught it easily without even looking up.

Then came the second, the third… and more and more.

Although the snowballs weren't thrown very accurately, there were a lot of them.

To avoid being attacked, Higashino Akira had to let go of the idiot Akira, freeing his hands to catch the second and third. When he couldn't catch them anymore, he could only start to dodge and weave.

"Ying, run!"

Come this way!

From afar, Kasugano Sora's voice drifted over.

It turns out that she didn't abandon her teammates and run away alone, but instead went to find her own ammunition reserves to achieve her goal indirectly.

Upon hearing Qiong's voice, Tiannv Muying was deeply moved and felt ashamed for having questioned Qiong earlier. Qiong truly deserved to be her best friend for life!

After realizing what had happened, Tiannv Muying slapped her face a few times to wipe away the snowflakes, spat out a few mouthfuls of snow, and then quickly fled.

They ran off into the distance to meet up with Qiong, and then the two sisters laughed and unleashed their firepower on their older brother.

Akira Higashino was no pushover either, and he decisively fought back!

While dodging, she threw the snowball she had just caught back at Kasugano Sora, which hit her hard in the face with a thud, causing the little girl's head to tilt back slightly and her body to sway twice, almost falling over.

As a true gentleman, Akira Higashino doesn't prioritize ladies. Instead, he treats everyone who chooses to be his enemy equally, regardless of age, gender, or race, and never discriminates against anyone when retaliating.

He didn't even bother to make a snowball. While dodging, he caught the snowballs that Qiong and Ying threw at him and threw them back at their faces.

He had no guns or cannons, so the enemy made them for him.

One snowball knocks down a Japanese girl!

Although his counterattacks were infrequent, their accuracy and power were far superior to those of the two young girls.

Someone even maliciously controlled the attack frequency, deliberately hitting one and then giving her a short time to recover, while turning the firepower on the other, keeping these two idiots neither falling down nor winning, feeling like they could turn the tables with a little effort, and taking turns being beaten without ever getting discouraged.

By the time their faces were almost completely red from being pounded by snowballs, their attacks had barely touched Higashino Akira. The two girls belatedly realized something was wrong, but it was too late; they had already taken all the damage.

Amidst the other priestesses' snickers and covered-the-mouth expressions, the two fools stubbornly refused to continue fighting, pouting and begging to surrender.

The more arrogant they were when they called themselves "small fish," the sweeter they are when they call them "Ni-chan~."

During dinner that evening, Kasugano Sora, who was in worse health, showed no abnormalities. However, Ei, who was always full of energy, suddenly reached out to cover her face and sneezed softly.

This drew a lot of ridicule from her girlfriends.

"She actually sneezed! Ying is such a wimp!"

Upon hearing this, Tiannv Muying puffed out her cheeks and looked at Qiong, "I didn't! I was clearly stimulated by the aroma of the food."

Just a few snowballs.

In previous years, she would still wear her shrine maiden outfit to sweep the stone steps leading up the mountain and clear the snow from the shrine even in winter, and nothing would happen to her.

Even Qiong, who used to be in poor health and frequently hospitalized, and now needs to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, is fine. How could she possibly be sick?

Young girl Aying has complete confidence in her body.

After all, she had been diligently working out in preparation for becoming her brother's wife and a healthy, excellent mother.

She's completely different from the frail and delicate Sora!

Before going to bed that night, Ying thoughtfully found some cold medicine and gave one to each of the shrine maidens who had gone out to play in the snow and build snowmen that day. It was to treat those who were sick and to prevent them from getting sick, just in case.

The next day, holding a person who felt like a hand warmer, Higashino Akira slowly woke up. Looking at Akira, who had once again crawled into his blankets, he sighed helplessly.

I told her to have some too, and to drink some cold medicine, but she insisted on showing off and trying to prove to herself how healthy she was.

As it turned out, she still hadn't woken up by this time. Her eyes were closed, her face looked uncomfortable, and her cheeks were flushed. She definitely had a cold.

The rule that idiots don't get sick isn't always accurate.

Of course, it's also possible that the girl's art style isn't funny enough, so her physique isn't much different from a regular human, and she doesn't benefit from these special characteristics.

He found some cold medicine and coaxed and tricked Ying into taking it. He comforted her for a while, told her to be good and rest well, and then Higashino Akira left the bedroom.

Ying, who rarely gets sick, suddenly caught a cold and became unexpectedly ill, feeling unwell for several days.

It took two or three days for him to gradually get rid of the headache and hoarseness, but the feeling of weakness and fatigue still lingered, and everyone took turns taking care of him in their spare time.

I completely missed the shrine's busiest time of year, when it receives visitors for the New Year celebrations.

The second day of the New Year.

The number of visitors to the shrine has decreased by more than half compared to yesterday.

After dealing with the Miyauchi senior and her friends and students who came to visit the shrine just like last year in the front courtyard, exchanging pleasantries for a while, and watching them leave, Higashino Akira returned indoors with a somewhat subtle expression.

It seems he was just approached by a strange, rustic girl?

And then there's Guanghua, who keeps subtly inquiring about the salary and benefits of becoming a shrine maiden at his family's shrine, implying that he wants to freeload after finishing his studies.

Although it doesn't really matter, he's still a promising student who can go to university. It's too embarrassing for him to be so unambitious, especially in front of his younger sister.

Akira Higashino never told Akira that he had once wanted to become a Japanese tax thief.

In the shrine's living room, a handsome, slender white-haired boy sat opposite his younger sister, seemingly catching up, though his expression appeared somewhat awkward.

Upon seeing the owner of the shrine approach, the boy politely stood up and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Brother Higashino."

"It's Yu, it has indeed been many years since we last met." Higashino Akira nodded, his attitude calm, his gaze falling on Kasugano Sora's nonchalant face. "You've come to visit your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Yu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "It's like this, but it seems like Sora isn't very welcoming to me."

"I understand, that's how my sister is when she grows up."

They offered this comforting explanation, but it wasn't actually true at all.

Putting aside Akira Higashino's side, Eri became more and more attached to him as she grew older.

Even when recalling Kasugano Yu, that kid, who used to run around with that little boy in the village when he was a child, he would solemnly draw a line, saying that men who played with girls were no good, and he would stupidly isolate him, and even make hurtful gestures towards his own sister.

Growing up under such circumstances, it would be strange if Qiong could still show any cute expressions towards her older brother.

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a glare from the veteran twin-tailed white-haired girl who had played the role of a younger sister.

Seemingly comforted, or perhaps having grown up and matured, the rather carefree Haruka Kasugano smiled gently and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Higashino Akira exchanged a few polite words but did not try to persuade him to stay.

After Kasugano Yu walked away, he sat down in the seat he had just been in and looked at the girl opposite him who had a normal expression.

To be honest, he was prepared not to disturb the brother and sister's reunion. After all, their parents had passed away, and all their grandparents and other relatives had also passed away. These two were each other's only family. It was normal for them to catch up after not seeing each other for more than half a year.

As it turned out, the two only met briefly, exchanged a few words, and then parted ways.

They seemed to have some family ties, but not much.

When did he get back?

"Around last week, I think." Kasugano Sora was much more proactive in her attitude when facing Higashino Akira.

"We only see each other once a year, why don't we chat a little longer?"

Hearing this, Kasugano Sora rolled her eyes speechlessly, looking at the man as if he were an old relic. "He has a cell phone, so he can communicate anytime if something important happens. Besides, what's there to talk about with Yu? I find my brother annoying, and my brother finds me annoying too. There are plenty of girls in the city who like him and are waiting to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. I can't be bothered with that guy."

As she spoke, seemingly afraid that her beloved might misunderstand that she didn't value family ties enough, Kasugano Sora added, "He's leaving tomorrow to go back to the city. This time, he only came back at the request of our adoptive guardians to check if I was alright and to say goodbye."

That's why Kasugano Sora couldn't understand why the sibling relationships in anime and movies were still so clingy and cute, inseparable, and even developing forbidden feelings.
