I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

How could a former bandmate be so mean!

He was even wearing her clothes!

As night deepened, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had become an overnight sensation, fell into a deep sleep, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, vaguely calling out Xiangzi's name in her dreams.

Toyokawa Shoko crawled under the covers from behind, wrinkling her little nose in slight disgust. Looking at Su Shi's expression, she finally sighed, and her initial displeasure dissipated.

She took out her phone, pointed the screen at the bad guy, and pointed to the content on it.

In the end, I had to ask him for help.

One mistake from Su Shi is enough. Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want this to happen again because of her. She must become a real human again as soon as possible!

Higashino Akira took the phone that Shoko handed him. It had a zoo address on it. Shoko guessed that the reason for her change might be related to that zoo, because for a long time before she became a kitten, the only thing she did that was part-time job at that zoo that was related to animals, and she couldn't contact the other part-time workers she worked with at the same time.

After writing down the information, Higashino Akira returned the phone.

"Xiao Xiang..."

Su Shi, still asleep, sensed a familiar scent and instinctively reached out to embrace it, whispering softly in her sleep.

When Toyokawa Shoko was hugged, she froze, afraid to move and wake Su Shi. She could only look at the bad guy for help.

Upon seeing this, Akira Higashino's lips curled up slightly. Instead of helping, he smiled maliciously.

The next morning, Nagasaki Motoyo, with tear stains still on her face, slowly woke up from her dream. Holding the little blue cat in her arms, she looked at the man beside her, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but repent to Shoko in her heart.

Forgive me, Xiao Xiang, this is the last time.

With what I took last night, I'll edit the photos and add some mosaic when I get back. Then I'll ask Xiao Mu to pass the photos on to Xiao Xiang. I know Xiao Xiang will be heartbroken and won't be able to accept it when he sees them.

Then I'll come back to comfort her and let Xiao Xiang know that romantic relationships are unreliable, and only the bonds between band members are truly strong. Then Xiao Xiang will definitely be willing to come back to the band.

The only drawback of this plan is that she also has leverage over this man. He is a soon-to-be graduate from a prestigious university and has inherited a famous shrine in his hometown. His future is bright, and he will never lack women who want to be with a man of his stature. He certainly doesn't want others to know about this shameful affair and want to fight her to the death.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately got up, went home, and started preparing.

However, as soon as she got up, she frowned and sat on the bed for a long time without moving. It took her a while to get used to the strange feeling in her body that was so different from usual.

Then, keeping quiet, she moved slowly to the bedside, got dressed, and casually stuffed Xiao Xiang's underwear into her pocket.

This is just to keep more evidence in case Xiaoxiang doesn't believe it!

Nagasaki Motoyo told herself this, and then took back the phone that she had put away last night to take pictures, which was now out of battery.

Completely unaware, behind her.

The human and the cat opened their eyes and quietly watched her every move.

When he saw Xiangzi's panties being secretly taken away, Higashino Akira turned his head and glanced at Xiangzi.

When Xiangzi saw Su Shi take out a phone with a camera pointed at the bed from the corner, he also glanced back at Dongye Ming with a sullen, cat-like face.

Akira Higashino shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

And Xiangzi…she cares a lot!

"what!"

The kitten hissed, and the sudden sound startled Nagasaki Motoyo, who had her back to the two of them. She turned around slowly, stiff as a board, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

To this, Higashino Akira could only silently shake his head at her in his heart.

That's such a loser.

Given their relationship, instead of trying to meet Xiangzi in person, he secretly stole Xiangzi's panties.

What a mess Xiangzi has made of this perfectly good girl!

"Won't you sleep a little longer?"

Nagasaki Motoyo quickly shook her head and lied, "I didn't come back last night, I have to go back early today."

Do you need me to give you a ride?

"No need, no need."

"Never mind, I'll take you." Seeing that she had difficulty moving around, Higashino Akira got up and sat up from the bed. The blanket slipped off, revealing his well-defined and muscular physique.

Across from him, Nagasaki Motoyo subconsciously swallowed, took a step back, embarrassed to look any longer, and felt a strange sense of guilt towards Xiangzi welled up inside her.

Chapter 47 Evil Spirit Pokémon Master

In the evening, Higashino Akira left Shoko with Miko and asked her to look after her, while he went alone to a haunted house he had previously purchased.

By relying on his ability to form connections, he can observe the depth of other beings' connections with him, the degree of good or evil they possess, and display these connections as a value of favorability. In a sense, Higashino Akira can be considered to possess a unique kind of yin-yang eye.

After all, a glaring number -43 was circling around him in the empty room, rising and falling, and over time it grew to -75, making it hard to miss.

Unfortunately, Higashino Akira had already done his research beforehand. Although this thing was fierce and full of malice, its main ability was possession. Its physical damage was not even as good as the evil spirit that Higashino Akira killed with three punches at the beginning. With luck protecting him, he was least afraid of encountering abilities such as possession and curses.

So Higashino Akira didn't rush to deliver a powerful blow, but instead poured himself a cup of tea and waited silently for the fish to bite.

This morning, he posted about buying the house and photos of the interior on social media, setting it to be visible only to a select few.

After several failed attempts to possess the intruder and being burned red all over, the evil spirit could only stare at the intruder from afar, its malice growing stronger.

Dusk, the hour of twilight.

A loud bang came from the direction of the door!

The door lock was smashed open, and a small figure nimbly darted in, his eyes quickly scanning the room to find the evil spirit's range. When he saw the figure sitting on the living room sofa with a cup of hot tea on the low table in front of him, steam rising from it, and a book in his hands, the person suddenly stopped and grabbed the doll in his arms tightly.

"God...my lord!"

Bao Yue felt a surge of emotions. Just a while ago, when she met him and in that video, he was just a slightly special human being.

How could someone suddenly become a god in such a short time!

Even if you don't feel his outward power, you can't be wrong. It's a feeling that only a true god can have, completely different from the status and existence of ordinary evil spirits!

Akira Higashino looked up and met her gaze.

"Tell me your purpose for breaking into my house, and then introduce yourself."

The quiet little girl's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this, and she calmly said, "Baoyue Night Snack, elementary school student, unmarried this year, and doesn't want to get married for the time being. She has a beautiful older sister who is also unmarried and studying at university. If the God wants a wife, you might consider Yongzi..."

"Eh?! Eh?! Eh?!" A surprised exclamation rang out from outside the door. "What do you mean by 'a great beauty'? That's too much! Besides, I still want to find love freely!"

Takatsuki Eiko walked in from outside with an embarrassed look on her face. She had a Bluetooth earpiece clipped to her ear, which meant that she must have left a continuous call or other listening device on Takatsuki Yoshino, so she could quickly find out what was going on.

When Tsukiyoko came to Xiaoyexiao's side, she saw Higashino Akira and quickly pressed down on the head of this little rascal who was decisively promoting his sister when he sensed that things were not going well. The two of them bowed and apologized together.

"I'm so sorry, senior. We asked me to bring her here to save you because we saw the photos you posted on social media. Xiao Yexiao has the ability to see spirits and discovered that there was an evil spirit living in the house in the photos. We were worried that something might happen to you."

"Don't worry, I won't forcibly take any woman as my wife. After all, this is a society governed by law, and not just anyone is qualified to be my wife."

Higashino waved to the two of them, made a phone call to schedule a locksmith to come and fix the lock. After finishing, he put down his phone and looked at the rag doll that the little purple-haired girl was holding in her arms.

"There is an evil spirit locked up inside."

"Yes, I taught myself the techniques of transformation online, locking the captured evil spirits inside dolls, and transferring the harm I suffer from other evil spirits onto them."

Online!

Self-taught?

What a joke! She's a complete amateur, yet she's so amazing. What about Makoto Higa, who comes from a family of psychics?

Why actively capture them?

"Because my mother's soul was taken away by a powerful evil spirit, and I don't have the power to defeat it, I can only capture more evil spirits and raise children strong enough to help me fight against it, so that I might be able to get my mother's soul back!"

"Evil spirits are everywhere, more so than roadside weeds. Why not just catch them?"

“Those spirits are too poor in aptitude; they can't even actively break through constraints to interfere with reality and hurt people. Most of them will dissipate on their own if left unattended for a long time, with no room for growth.”

While both possess the ability to see spirits, some elementary school students become Pokémon masters, commenting on evil spirit Pokémon, while some high school students are terrified by wandering spirits.

For a moment, Higashino Akira didn't know whether to say that seeing the little girl was too normal, or that this little loli was too supermodel-like.

Soon, the Jinyiwei, who worked part-time as a locksmith, arrived with his repair tools. Higashino Akira also prepared some snacks and refreshments to entertain the two sisters, and while enjoying the snacks, he slowly learned about their past experiences and achievements.

Upon hearing that Bao Yue had indeed cultivated several exceptionally powerful evil spirits whom she called "graduates," he was intrigued and inquired about the specific abilities of those graduates, and whether they were for sale.

There are qualification requirements for bestowing titles upon deities; only the stronger the spirit, the greater the value it can provide after being bestowed a title.

In Bao Yue's eyes, Dong Yeming was already a god, and the real god at that, not one of those clones attached to statues in various places. Although he was currently friendly, he still couldn't refuse his request and could only reluctantly agree that he would sell him any suitable graduates he trained in the future.

In return, Higashino Akira asked the little girl to capture the evil spirit in the house. He also gave her a list of haunted houses under his name and a phone number, telling her to capture the evil spirit herself if she wanted it, and that someone would deliver the key to her by calling the number.

Although Akira Higashino later stopped buying haunted houses for a period of time, truly haunted houses with ridiculously low prices are still a minority. Moreover, there are always stubborn people who buy them. Some people who buy them can't return them and don't have the means to move out, so they will try to seek help from psychics, thus indirectly controlling the overall number of haunted houses.

It's hard to say about some of the haunted locations that are already owned, but he bought up about a third of the haunted houses in the Tokyo area that were actually inhabited by evil spirits.

It wasn't that Higashino Akira was good at snowballing; it was mainly because the properties here usually didn't occupy a large area, and he didn't care about high-rise buildings without land ownership rights.

The few hundred million that remain in the group's account is actually surplus.

On the one hand, these types of houses are indeed cheap, which is a liability for the owners and real estate companies. They have to pay taxes every year and can't wait to get rid of them as soon as possible. On the other hand, rice prices in Japan are really expensive. Even after the New Year, rice prices have not only not dropped, but have actually become more expensive.

The key issue is that they are not only expensive, but also scarce, and you might not even be able to buy them.

Under Kongming's plan, the fishermen of Hokkaido stopped fishing and started smuggling rice to earn extra money.

Fishing only earns a little money, and sometimes it takes a long time to return from a single trip at sea. The risks are high, and the earnings are unstable. But it's different to go out to sea by boat to transport rice back. You can make one or two trips a day. As long as the boat isn't full, it's full of rice, which is very conspicuous. Even the supervisory departments are staffed by their people or relatives who can eventually be connected through various channels.

The money was shared among everyone, and the islanders were able to buy rice, making everyone happy.

If anyone is unhappy and wants to come down and investigate, they can talk to the bears in the mountains that eat brown bear heads, since brown bears have recently become rampant in Hokkaido.

Chapter Forty-Eight: A Way to Die

After saying goodbye to Takatsuki Eiko and the Takatsuki Night Snack Sisters, Higashino Akira called Kongming to arrange for someone to clean up the house so they could rent it out and make some money, every little bit helps, and also wash away the haunted house's reputation and increase its value.

Having made all the arrangements, Akira Higashino had no intention of staying any longer.

Earlier at noon, Jianzi called him to say that a package had been sent to his home. Then, Higashino Akira felt a knot on his body, which had been there the longest and was on the verge of breaking, tremble violently.

Akira Higashino has never publicly used the address of the house where Miko currently lives, so it's impossible for someone to send him something to that address.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Jianzi after she received the package. Although the connection indicated by her affinity ability was a positive one, Higashino Akira told her not to open it yet and to wait until he returned.

At night, Akira Higashino returned home, opened the door and went inside, where he saw Miko sitting cross-legged on the sofa, waiting for him for a long time.

The two fell silent for a moment upon seeing each other.

"Nii-chan, could you close your eyes and stand still for a while?"
