I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

If anything is found out, Yunmeng will still have all their dirt on them. If Yunmeng pushes them too far, even the least serious offenses will result in more than ten years in prison.

All I can do is slack off, drink tea, chat with colleagues, and get by day by day. I'm trying to make a living by serving both Yunmeng and the government, so I'll take whatever little I can get.

After making this quick buck, he'll most likely be unable to continue in politics.

I'm thinking of quitting my job and going into business.

The Minister of Home Affairs, who bears the most pressure, faces almost daily questioning from the Cabinet. He initially remained calm and evasive, then experienced some pressure, and eventually returned to calm.

He discovered that as long as he said that Yunmeng was trying to interfere with the investigation, the investigation team members would be under a lot of pressure, and the cabinet would believe him without a doubt. They would then vehemently criticize Yunmeng Group for its malicious intentions, questioning why they dared not cooperate with the investigation honestly. After the criticism, the cabinet would increase funding and provide more operating funds to encourage them to keep up the good work.

Of course, he didn't dare touch a single penny of that money.

I've already decided to leave this matter cleanly and without any ill intentions, so I can't afford to make a mistake at this crucial juncture.

But the reactions from my colleagues were undoubtedly disappointing.

As expected, Japan is doomed.

These vermin are actually high-ranking officials in the country; they are all either evil or stupid, and some are both evil and stupid.

Yes, I'm talking about that abstract figure, the Prime Minister.

Moreover, this wasn't the only time this abstraction was created.

Japan has been producing a string of bad leaders; several of its prime ministers have been either wicked, stupid, or both.

.........

And so time passed, until March arrived.

On the appointed day, Higashino Akira dressed in formal attire, brought gifts and a female companion, and was ready to go.

He wanted to laugh just thinking about what would happen today.

But hold on! You absolutely must hold on!

Only a few hours left, absolutely no laughing!

Laughing now would completely expose it!

P.S.: 4,000+ words, combined into one, still 25.5 chapters missing.

Chapter 298 The Abyss of Gambling

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you! Xiaoming, Kaguya-san, welcome to my home!"

Fujiwara Residence.

Since it was just a private birthday party and there was no need to use it as an excuse to give others a chance to connect, there weren't many guests.

Only a few were people that Fujiwara Chika knew from Shuchiin.

Accompanied by Kaguya Shinomiya, Akira Higashino rang the doorbell, and soon Chika Fujiwara, wearing a golden paper crown, rushed over like a whirlwind. She opened the door, looked at the two of them with surprise, and greeted them warmly.

I was so happy that I didn't pay attention to the details.

Fujiwara Chika stood directly between Higashino Akira and Shinomiya Kaguya, separating them with her body, and took their hands in each hand, pulling them into the house with a smile on her face.

Higashino Akira had no choice but to quicken his pace to keep up with her.

As for Kaguya Shinomiya...

The girl's face darkened, her expression sour, her eyes fixed on the pink cow-like man's hand that was holding Higashino Akira's.

That was where she used to hold it!

hateful!

This guy has absolutely no sense of boundaries!

You just wait!

Upon entering the living room, as the hostess, Fujiwara Chika took the initiative to warmly introduce everyone to each other.

Upon learning of Higashino Akira's identity, a group of girls from Shuchiin University appeared somewhat reserved, but they politely greeted him.

Higashino Akira naturally had no need to put on airs with them.

I gave brief responses to each one.

Then... he shook the large package in his hand, which was wrapped in an exquisite gift box.

"Hey, Fujiwara Chika, here's the birthday gift I specially picked out for you. Where would be a good place to put it?"

To avoid alerting Fujiwara Chika, Higashino Akira used his telekinesis to support the package throughout, making it appear light and airy.

They don't find it troublesome at all.

That's why people are so patient when they're doing bad things.

Fujiwara Chika looked at him with sparkling eyes. Such a big package, yet he could lift it with one hand and it didn't feel heavy at all when he swayed back and forth.

there is only one truth!

It's definitely a large plush toy inside, right?

"Just put it here."

The girl's heart was filled with anticipation, "Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming~"

Akira Higashino: "Hmm?"

Fujiwara Chika asked, "Can I open it?"

Higashino Akira put down the oversized gift box, a smile playing on his lips as he heard this. He nodded, "It's all yours now, you decide for yourself."

"Great!"

Watching Fujiwara Chika's cheerful and lively movements, not far behind her, Shinomiya Kaguya, holding a cup of tea, suddenly sneered.

Not long after.

A mournful cry echoed throughout the Fujiwara residence, drawing everyone's attention.

"What is this? What is this? What is this?"

"You must have taken the wrong one!"

"Xiaoming, it must have been delivered to the wrong address, right?"

Why would a birthday present be something like this?

"Why give someone something that makes you unhappy on such a happy occasion as a birthday? Xiaoming, you're so mean!"

Fujiwara Chika stared in utter despair at the pile of real study materials, covering her head with her hands, looking almost delirious just from looking at them.

To this, Higashino Akira smiled brightly without any shame, "It's all about reciprocity, right? Compared to the gift you gave me last time, I think what I gave back was pretty good, at least presentable, right?"

"That's not good!" Fujiwara Chika angrily punched his chest with her little fists. Although she was very indignant, to Higashino Akira, this level of girlish cat punches was not very aggressive at all. A large part of the reason was that she was just expressing her emotions and he didn't use much force. "Why do such a mean thing? No girl will like you if you act like this!"

Her studies were just average to begin with, and her family was able to tolerate it and didn't pressure her much.

But with so many blank study materials delivered, especially by Akira Higashino himself, if her parents found out, they might make her do them herself, bit by bit.

Then her time, her freedom, and even her life will be wasted on these study materials.

Secretary Fujiwara looked like she was about to cry.

Higashino Akira was immediately amused by her words.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, oh my god, please continue, I promise I won't laugh this time."

Nearby, the group of girls from Shuchiin Academy gathered around, glanced at the tall pile of study materials, and then looked at Higashino Akira with his clean and cheerful smile. They all shivered and cast sympathetic glances at Secretary Fujiwara.

Although I usually get a headache from being tormented by Secretary Fujiwara.

But this level is just too exaggerated.

How terrifying.

There are so many exercises! We can't possibly finish them all! We simply can't finish them all!

Everyone quietly comforted Secretary Fujiwara.

As for Fujiwara Chika... her eyes darted around, and a mischievous thought began to bubble up in her mind. She immediately came up with a way to save herself.

Painful payment transfer!

Just like giving Xiaoming a notebook that's inconvenient to keep at home.

This pile of learning materials can be given away in a similar way!

April is the birthday of Ai-kun and Koyasu-senpai, May is the birthday of Iino-kun, and then it's Maki-senpai and Giga-ko!

Please, everyone!

With all my energy, I'll become a good student and study hard!

Please don't blame me!

Secretary Fujiwara decided that when he got back, he would use his power for personal gain and carefully check when everyone's birthdays were.

Give one to everyone!

Two books for one person!

This will be a gesture of care from the student council, hahaha~~~

Having come up with a solution, Fujiwara Chika's smile returned, and she looked at everyone gently.

"Mina~, it's getting late. Let's play some games first. Are these custom-made games from the board game club? We can cut the cake and have dinner later."

She was as gentle as a mother.

but!

For some reason, the girls who came to the Fujiwara residence to celebrate Fujiwara Secretary's birthday felt a slight chill.
