I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

"What's your name?" Dad pressed.

"..."

Yili's forehead began to sweat.

Mom and Dad exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry.

"How did you two meet in that area?"

This question can be answered in one place!

"Yes, it was at a livehouse! I was dragged to join a band and perform on stage today, and then he watched the show, and then..."

"You already know each other?" Dad raised an eyebrow.

"He...he just took the initiative to come and get to know me..." Yili's voice trailed off.

Another silence followed.

Has this child's condition become that severe?

It's one thing to fantasize about having a boyfriend, but she also fantasizes about joining a band and performing on stage. As a father, he knows all too well how socially awkward his daughter is and that it's impossible for her to appear in a crowded place like a live house. It's such a clumsy lie, but Ichiri still told it.

The two elders, who were parents, exchanged a glance, a hint of sympathy and pity flashing in their eyes.

At least for now, let's not expose her and let her be happy for a while longer.

Dad sighed, and Mom gently held Yili's hand.

“Yili, Mom doesn’t object to you making friends, and she certainly doesn’t object to you dating in the future. But,” her tone became serious, “you need to understand what kind of person the other person is first, understand?”

"If you think he's a good person, and you get along well, and you decide to be together in the future," Dad chimed in, "you can bring him home to meet Mom and Dad."

Yili stared blankly at her parents, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Hmm...I understand..."

"And another thing!" Mom held up a finger, "Next time, remember to ask people's names first! Otherwise, neither Mom nor Dad will know how to address them!"

"sorry--"

Goto Ichiri looked dejected.

Erli was laughing so hard he was rolling on the floor.

It was late at night, and Yili lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

On my phone, in the chat with that person, I hesitated for a long time before sending a simple "Goodnight."

Does her situation even qualify as being in a relationship? And if she wants to break up, I hope they can agree on it privately and not be publicly shamed!

Just thinking about that terrifying scene made Ichiri turn pale and tremble all over.

The naive young girl is not particularly opposed to love, and may even yearn for it. However, she is more afraid of having her existing interpersonal relationships disrupted, at a loss about the sudden appearance of a strange boyfriend, and saddened by the impending tragic end of the relationship.

As expected... that kind of fulfilling life like in a youthful romantic comedy is definitely not going to happen to her.

Ugh... so bitter.

.........

Night, the mansion under the snow.

Looking at the black and white calico cat on the table, and the various details of the Yukinoshita family's life that it typed on its phone, along with Haruno's corroboration, Yukinoshita's parents had to admit with mixed feelings that their little daughter had indeed turned into a kitten.

"The talk of ghosts and gods is true. In our family's construction and real estate business, we occasionally encounter special situations that require the help of professionals in these fields. You have experience in the family business before, and you have never encountered such situations, so it is understandable that you do not know about them."

"There may be other solutions to Yukino's situation."

"Regarding Yang Nai, thank him properly first and maintain a friendly relationship with him. After we ask other experts to try, if there are no other solutions, then we can try working with him."

"We can't let Yukino stay like this forever."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately wanted to refuse, after all, the man had clearly expressed that he had no good feelings for her, not to mention that he was Kawasaki's boyfriend, and from his words, she could also sense that he had other girlfriends besides her.

Although she was grateful for his help and his openness, and there was no dislike between them, she found it difficult to develop romantic feelings for this kind of person.

However, due to her mother's consistent authority, Miss Yukinoshita could only keep these thoughts to herself and pray that the professionals they invited would have a solution.

Beside them, Xue's father, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up after his wife finished speaking, "I do know a little about this student, Yang Nai."

P.S.: I still owe 19.5 chapters. I accidentally messed up my sleep schedule again, which I'd finally managed to get back on track. Lately, I've been sleeping in during the day and only waking up at night to start writing, so the chapter update time is a bit irregular. I apologize for that.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Service

"I heard that the Yunmeng Group, which has been expanding rapidly recently, is known for its high employee benefits, has opened a large number of labor-intensive industries to create jobs, and has recruited a large number of employees, is actually owned by a man named Higashino Akira."

"Because our business scopes overlap, our share of business in the Chiba construction industry has been significantly taken away by them."

"Because it is normal business competition, and the other party has considerable political power to leverage, whoever wants to be elected in the next election will have to deal with this company. So for the time being, small and medium-sized companies in various places either tacitly allow it to enter the market or are powerless to resist. Only the top-level conglomerates are fighting against it with all their might and trying to squeeze Yunmeng Group out of the circle of top-level groups."

Actually, it's not that no one has made a move. Some of those self-made nouveau riche, lacking experience and vision, get carried away and try to attack Yunmeng Group using unorthodox methods.

However, these people often died tragically, and their bodies were never found.

As more and more of these fools disappeared, others became more cautious, only playing within the rules and refraining from underhanded tactics.

The Yukinoshita family did not intervene, because the Yukinoshita family was involved in more than just real estate. Although this sector suffered losses, it was not enough to cripple the family. Compared to the loss of some profits, the real fatal blow would be if they fell out with the Yunmeng Group and the latter voted for their employees in the next council election, causing them to lose.

Although they couldn't enter the national political core, the Yukino family, with their wealth and power, could always be considered a local power and influential in Chiba. If they lost power, they would only be considered wealthy merchants, and their former friends and followers would feel that their family had lost power and quietly distance themselves from them.

Yuki's father's words made Yuki's mother, who was the head of the family, pay more attention to Yang Nai's classmate. While thinking, she turned her gaze to her youngest daughter and couldn't help but have some special thoughts.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Given Yukino's current situation, if she goes to them, she'll be asking for their help, and it seems the other party might not even be interested.

Yang Nai, on the other hand, seems to have more hope.

If they could become family, he would naturally become an asset to the Yukinoshita family, and the lost market share would not be a big deal, whether in economic, political, or supernatural and metaphysical aspects.

Yuki's mother looked at her eldest daughter and was clearly tempted, but her younger daughter, Yukino, was still in a difficult situation and it was not appropriate to bring up those topics at this time.

"Once the professionals invited by the family arrive, Yang, you should keep track of the progress and remember to report back to your classmate regularly."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno vaguely guessed her mother's thoughts, and her heart sank slightly. Although she knew this day would eventually come, she didn't expect it to be so soon.

It seems she has to feel a little bad for Xiaojing.

Yang Nai didn't care about her old classmate's other girlfriends. As a daughter of a prominent family who was groomed to be the heir, she had seen this kind of situation many times and was confident that if she were with him, she could outshine those girls.

Despite her inner turmoil, Yang Nai responded with a relaxed expression, revealing no sign of her true feelings.

.........

The next morning, Akira Higashino was awakened by a knock on the door.

He was completely dumbfounded when he saw Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had somehow appeared at his residence wearing an apron.

"Master Higashino, breakfast is ready. If you don't get up in time, it will taste bad, and eating too much cold food is also bad for your health."

She was dressed in a traditional red and white shrine maiden outfit.

Higashino Akira sat up in bed, squinting and tilting his head back slightly as he looked at the woman.

Why are you here?

Miyamizu Mitsuha turned her head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed to look at his rather muscular, exposed upper body.

I think he's a lecher.

"Well, I am, after all, your priestess, so it is only right that I take care of the deity."

I'm asking, why are you here?

Akira Higashino owns many properties. Unless he has something to do and needs to stay in a certain place for a longer period of time, he rarely stays in one place for long. Every night, he just sleeps in whichever house is closest to him.

He didn't understand why they would come knocking on his door under these circumstances.

"Besides being a shrine maiden, I am also your secretary, responsible for liaising with you and handling your work. At the company, I am one of the few people who have the authority to view your contact information and address."

I'll restrict your access in a bit!

Higashino Akira lay back down under the covers and went to sleep. Now that he didn't have to go to school, it was one thing to work from nine to five when he wasn't a boss, but now that he was a boss, people were urging him to get up early to work. What a waste of his job as a boss.

Beside him, Miyamizu Mitsuha grew anxious and came over to squat by the bed, gently pushing his body through the blanket.

To no avail; Higashino Akira simply ignored her.

Finally, Miyamizu Mitsuha simply ripped the blanket off him, then stared wide-eyed, her pretty face slightly flushed, and stammered.

"I have prepared the water for you to wash up."

"The clothing has been prepared and equipped. You still have a lot of work to do, and everyone in the group is waiting for your decision..."

Please get up as soon as possible.

Her voice grew softer and softer, and Higashino Akira looked at her helplessly.

"Mitsuha, you're so annoying."

Even your mother doesn't dare to discipline me.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

That's why I say that Miyamizu Futaba is a troublemaker. She took advantage of the fact that she saved him once, causing him to waste more than 200,000 units of luck to help her save someone, and in the end, she even threw her daughter at him to bother him.

Miyamizu Mitsuha was frightened by the god's cold attitude, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stepped forward and held his hand tightly.

With a gentle push, Higashino Akira pulled her onto the bed and pinned her down.

"How dare a priestess defy the gods and make demands of them! This is utterly rebellious! I'm skipping breakfast today and eating you first!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha, with tears still glistening in her eyes, blushed silently and closed her eyes upon hearing this, adopting an attitude of neither taking initiative nor refusing, allowing herself to be taken.

Seeing her like this, Higashino Akira's inner turmoil gradually subsided.

She wasn't that brat, Miyamizu Futaba; it would be pointless to take out her anger on her mother on her.

Never mind, get up and eat.

He casually picked up the clothes that Mitsuha had specially chosen for him, put them on, and strode out of the bedroom.

Behind him, Miyamizu Mitsuha opened her eyes from the bed, her gaze following his back, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, and her cheeks slightly flushed.
