I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

"Kaguya-chan, so cute~"

It was the first time Fujiwara Chika had ever seen Kaguya Shinomiya in a maid outfit, and her eyes sparkled with delight.

He immediately rushed over and hugged his good friend tightly, rubbing his face against hers and giggling foolishly.

Fujiwara Chika was very satisfied, but Shinomiya Kaguya was not.

Especially when she felt the cow bump into her, and the other party's cushion bounced several times.

Suppressing the urge to slap those two useless lumps of fat, the girl gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "Secretary Fujiwara, what exactly are you here for?"

"Of course, I'm going to visit Kaguya-chan!"

Fujiwara Chika said firmly, "After all, we're good friends. I'm really worried about Kaguya-chan!"

Then, changing the subject, the pink-haired girl leaned close to Kaguya Shinomiya's ear and whispered a question.

"So, Kaguya-chan, did you manage to use what you learned to take down Higashino in one fell swoop?"

Fujiwara Chika has no loyalty to friendship whatsoever; her eyes are filled with nothing but a thirst for gossip.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya was startled and quickly looked around before pulling Chika Fujiwara to a corner.

"Are you crazy! How could you just say something like that out loud?"

If others found out that she was watching inappropriate content for children and even planning to learn from it, the Shinomiya family would probably lose all face because of her.

"Meow meow~"

Realizing she had misspoke, Fujiwara Chika stuck out her tongue and sincerely apologized, her pretty face slightly flushed.

However, she still didn't give up asking about Kaguya's progress in winning her over.

When faced with Fujiwara Secretary's endless questions, Shinomiya Kaguya wore a sour expression and ignored her completely.

The door opened again, and a graceful figure walked in.

"Ah, it's Yukino-chan!"

The naturally outgoing Fujiwara Chika approached the newcomer the moment she saw them.

Yukino Yukinoshita was completely stunned when she was suddenly hugged. Her brain went blank for a while before she came to her senses and quickly pushed her away.

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time we've met, and we're not close enough to call each other by our first names, are we, Fujiwara-kun?"

Yukino Yukinoshita is not good at dealing with this kind of enthusiastic girl.

"Oh, it's not too late to get to know each other now. I've admired Yukino-chan for a long time, and besides, a friend of a friend is a friend, right?"

best friend?

Kaguya Shinomiya chuckled, having long anticipated the unreliability of that pink-haired girl.

Yukino Yukinoshita is a bit more difficult to deal with.

She vaguely saw the shadow of another friend of hers in Fujiwara Chika.

P.S.: 2000+ words. I'm unusually sleepy at night and strangely hot during the day. It's hard to keep going. I'll just post one chapter for now. I'm a bit too tired to keep going. I'll take a nap and continue writing when I wake up.

Chapter 282 This will cost a lot of money, sir.

It took a lot of effort for Yukino Yukinoshita to push away the pink-haired girl who was like an enthusiastic big dog.

Fujiwara Chika wasn't annoyed at all, still smiling as if to say, "You don't know this at all. I've known Haruno-san for a long time, and I'm also quite familiar with Akira."

"Only this point, I cannot admit." Higashino Akira walked in from outside and happened to hear this sentence. He retorted with a speechless expression, "Besides, our relationship is not at the level where you can call me that, and even with Haruno, you've only met once, haven't you?"

"Hehehe~, that's how girls' friendships are."

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her chest proudly, a smile playing on her lips, "I think you have absolutely no idea, Xiaoming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three girls on the field fell silent, secretly thinking to themselves, 'Is this the only kind of one-sided friendship you have?'

Higashino Akira rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I told you not to call me that."

Too lazy to waste time arguing with her, Higashino Akira simply asked, "So, what are you doing at my house?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Fujiwara puffed out her cheeks and glared at him angrily. "It's all your fault, Xiaoming! You moved house and didn't even invite me to visit, so I had to come here by myself. You're so careless! Luckily, I'm broad-minded and don't take it to heart. If it were someone else, they might have felt sad and thought that Xiaoming didn't consider everyone a friend."

What kind of friend is this, someone I've only met twice?

Higashino Akira sighed in exasperation.

Moreover, the people he invited here were either close friends, employees, or subordinates, none of whom Fujiwara Chika could relate to. As for other relationships, such as family or lovers, she was even less connected to them.

Why would I invite her out of the blue?

However, since everyone was a respectable person, and Fujiwara Chika had come all this way on her own, even giving the excuse of visiting a friend's new home, he couldn't very well ask her to leave.

After a sigh, I could only silently accept this reality.

Akira Higashino turned to look at Ai Hayasaka and said, "Tell the kitchen to add more dinner."

"clear."

The maid acknowledged the order and left to relay instructions to the kitchen.

As if they were really visiting a friend's house, Fujiwara Chika pulled the somewhat bewildered Shinomiya Kaguya to sit on the sofa, while Yukino Yukinoshita, who hadn't managed to escape in time, sat on the other side.

The three girls were talking about things that girls would find interesting, but in reality, only Fujiwara Chika was truly interested in the topics.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Fujiwara Chika exclaimed and took out an exquisitely packaged gift box from her bag, handing it to Higashino Akira with a smile.

"Ta-da, housewarming gift."

Staring directly at him with bright eyes, Higashino Akira hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the gift box.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, after all, we're friends, right?"

Fujiwara Chika smiled happily, her face full of confidence, "This is a gift I specially picked out for Xiaoming, so don't forget to open it and take a look."

After saying that, seeing Higashino Akira's gaze fall on the gift box, Fujiwara Chika's expression became slightly anxious, and she quickly waved her hand, "Of course, we won't open it now, we'll open it when we're alone with Akira!"

Higashino Akira gently weighed the gift box in his hand; it was surprisingly heavy. Since the other party had said so, he simply put the gift box aside, not in a hurry to open it.

To be honest, Higashino Akira wasn't very comfortable with the things this guy gave away.

It's hard to say whether it's some kind of prank prop, or a strange board game made by Fujiwara Chika and her club, or something else entirely.

Based on Higashino Akira's understanding of her, she is entirely capable of doing any of the above.

"Then I'll look forward to it in advance."

"Hehe~, are you touched?" Fujiwara Chika raised her eyebrows at him meaningfully, looking like he was lucky to have a friend like her. "If you feel bad about it, just send me a gift in return later."

Higashino Akira chuckled at her words, "You're quite the ladies' man, already thinking of returning the favor after just giving a gift?"

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she looked confident and said with certainty, "After all, it's about reciprocity to make relationships better."

"alright."

Higashino Akira didn't refuse; it wouldn't take much effort anyway, and he could just consider it helping Akira maintain their friendship.

Since the last summer festival, she and Fujiwara Chika have gotten along quite well. The two have been chatting quite a bit, and Fujiwara Chika even gave Shinomiya Kaguya's contact information to Ei. However, compared to Shinomiya Kaguya, whose answers were more dignified and formal, Ei preferred to communicate with Fujiwara Chika, who had a similarly cheerful and enthusiastic personality.

"Tell me in advance if there's anything worth celebrating, and I'll prepare a return gift for you."

"It's next month." As soon as Higashino Akira finished speaking, Fujiwara Chika answered the phone, her two bright blue eyes blinking expectantly as she looked at him. "March 3rd is my birthday."

Akira Higashino: "..."

In the evening, because guests were visiting, dinner was served a little earlier than usual. After dinner, Fujiwara Chika was invited to stay overnight, but she declined. Higashino Akira arranged for a car and driver to take her home.

She claimed to be friends with them, but during her stay here, she actually spent most of her time chatting with Yukino and Kaguya Shinomiya.

Even before leaving, she gave Kaguya Shinomiya an encouraging look.

"Kaguya-chan, I've really sacrificed so much for you, so please keep going!"

Watching the other person get into the car and leave, Kaguya Shinomiya walked back towards the mansion with a blank expression, completely not understanding what that guy meant.

As soon as I returned to the reception hall on the first floor, I saw my current "master" holding the opened gift box, looking so angry that he couldn't help but laugh.

Out of wariness of Fujiwara Chika and out of a maid's duty to protect her master, and definitely not out of curiosity, Shinomiya Kaguya quietly moved a little closer and tiptoed over to peek out of the corner of her eye.

Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stood at attention, frozen in place.

A blush spread from the girl's face, covering her small, cute earlobes and staining her fair, slender neck.

That familiar cover...

"The Fallen Aristocrat Tsubaki Rurikawa"?!

Fujiwara Chika, what kind of things did you send?!

Meanwhile, Akira Higashino's smile gradually faded, and he began to feel more at ease.

After all, it's Fujiwara Chika.

At least the gifts weren't completely useless, right?

It's a bit hard to judge. She clearly has a good friend who works as his private maid, yet she still sends him doujinshi of this kind. What was she thinking?

Akira Higashino put down the thick stack of notebooks in his hand, turned around and looked at Kaguya Shinomiya who was walking in the direction of the main entrance, and remained silent for a moment.

"Has she always been like this?"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya was also speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she nodded silently.

Then he received a sympathetic look from Akira Higashino.

night.

Higashino Akira was alone in his bedroom, admiring the manga that Fujiwara Chika had given him. His mood was somewhat complicated. Even he had to admit that Fujiwara Chika had a knack for choosing manga.

The quality is very high.

This made Higashino Akira eager to try it out.
