I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

"Ah! Welcome!"

The blonde girl who was cleaning near the store entrance looked up, her eyes lighting up when she saw who it was. "It's that audience member who applauded us last time!"

"Just call me Dongye." He walked to the bar and sat down, glancing around the room. "It's quite quiet today."

"Well, there's still a while before the official performance." Hongxia smiled brightly and accepted the form of address offered by the other party. "Did Mr. Higashino come here specifically for this?"

"That's it."

Akira looked around. "After all, I just started dating a girlfriend and she's been so cold to me for so long without even exchanging a word. It's bound to make me feel a little disappointed."

"Ah! Who is it... That's so mean!"

"It's someone you know."

"I know her?" Hongxia paused for a moment, then realized something and looked surprised. "Poch-chan?"

She looked toward the beverage sales area not far away.

Akira Higashino followed her gaze and saw a red-haired girl dressed as a maid energetically wiping cups behind the counter.

As I walked closer, I looked behind the counter and saw a pink figure huddled in a corner, trembling, almost blending into the shadows.

As soon as Higashino Akira left Ichiji Nijika, the shopkeeper, who had been watching him closely with a thief-like gaze ever since he entered the store, finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice to call out to his younger sister.

"Hey, that guy looks like he has bad intentions, you should stay away from him."

"Sister, they're guests."

"We need to be even more careful with customers!" Ichiji Hoshika said seriously, afraid that opening a shop would ruin her sister's career. This was a unique, non-saleable item. "What kind of respectable fan would come up to a girl and ask for her contact information! Besides, given how terrible your performance was last time, the fact that he could even praise her was a big problem!"

"sister--"

Hongxia said coquettishly, sighed helplessly, and turned to look at Dongye Ming, who had already walked to the beverage counter.

"Goto Ichiri".

A calm voice sounded above him, and Yili instinctively straightened up and looked towards the source of the voice.

Then the pupils trembled violently.

It's him!

The guy who inexplicably became her boyfriend!

"Ah, ah, ah—" She opened her mouth, but could only utter a single syllable, as if her whole body had been frozen in time.

Akira Higashino rested his hands on the counter, watching her quietly with a scrutinizing gaze.

"We're lovers, right?"

Why would lovers go so long without contacting each other, not even a simple "good morning" greeting, or replying to messages?

“I, I, I…” Yili opened her mouth, only to find that she was completely unable to refute it.

So, I'm the kind of woman who plays with men's feelings!

Normally, lovers shouldn't have absolutely no contact...

But was their relationship really normal?

No, no, thinking about these things now is useless. If I meet someone as terrible as myself, he might break up with me in front of so many people, and my reputation will spread all over the world. I will be pointed at, hated, and despised by everyone. Even my parents and Erli will no longer acknowledge me as a relative. Even the paramecium on the roadside will be more popular than me.

At that time...

Ugh... so bitter!

It turns out there's nowhere left for me on Earth!

Falling in love is terrifying!

Higashino Akira watched as the abstract little pink-haired creature twitched a few times, then lay stiffly on the ground, its face ashen, its soul faintly drifting out of its mouth.

Chapter 73 This is too rock and roll!

"Poke-chan! Poke-chan!?"

Kita Ikuyo still can't believe that Pochi-chan, the ultimate socially awkward person, has a boyfriend!

I snapped out of my shock at the fact that he was also a super handsome guy.

Seeing the band members who worked together collapse to the ground at the same time, they quickly went over and called out loudly.

"Kita-kun... help me..."

Little Bochi tremblingly cried out for help.

"Hey!"

"How did it suddenly come to this!" the girl exclaimed in shock.

"So what exactly are you doing?" Higashino Akira looked at the little pink-haired girl lying on the ground who had suddenly become dramatic, his expression somewhat helpless.

"I'm so sorry, I... I was expressing my submission to you! Please don't banish me from Earth."

"What kind of little puppy are you? Besides, I can't do that kind of thing."

"Woof..."

Suddenly, the pink-haired girl with a gloomy face let out a soft bark, like a puppy.

Everyone else present fell silent.

Kita's eyes widened in surprise. Although he knew that people in bands were outgoing, he didn't expect them to go this far!

And they don't even try to hide it from people!

Akira Higashino was also caught off guard by Ichiri Goto's sudden, abstract reaction.

Damn it, one mile!

You really know how to make me laugh.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Get up and get to work, you pay thief."

Akira beckoned the pink-haired girl, who looked relieved as if she had escaped a disaster, to his side and gently pinched her cheeks, making her make cute little whimpering sounds.

"A glass of lemonade, less ice."

After letting go, her face flushed slightly. She seemed to suddenly feel much more relaxed, and turned around to make lemonade, albeit clumsily.

At that moment, a blue figure appeared beside Higashino Akira without anyone noticing and raised his hand.

"I'd like a glass of orange juice."

Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly.

"Oh! Senior Ryo, please wait a moment!"

Seeing that her respected senior had placed an order, Kita enthusiastically got to work.

"Give!"

Soon, a glass of oranges was placed on the counter, picked up by some scoundrel, tilted his head back, and gulped it down quickly. After finishing, he put the empty glass back on the counter, gave the other person a thumbs up, and turned to leave.

"Hey! Senior Ryo, you haven't paid the bill yet!"

Akira Higashino's lemonade was also made. As he watched Ichiri, who was holding the cup and turned his face away, trembling as he handed it to him, a hand reached out from the side, quickly snatched the lemonade, tilted his head back, gulped it down, and then let out a short burp.

"This cup is for a customer, senpai!" came the girl's incredulous exclamation from behind the counter.

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired girl gently patted the man's arm beside her, "It's okay, I'm his girlfriend too, it's all on his tab."

Kita: "Ehhhhhh-?!"

Ichiri: "Eh?!?!"

"What are you saying, Ryo-senpai?!" Kita exclaimed in surprise, his expression incredibly complex. "Two girlfriends? The same person?! This...this...!!!"

Liang remained expressionless: "Is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem!"

"Hmph, this is rock and roll!"

Kita's mind was completely blank; the optimistic girl was feeling dizzy and her rationality was on the verge of collapse.

Could this be the legendary band members?

This is way too rock and roll!

The idea of ​​two girls having the same boyfriend...

We're all teammates. If I don't keep up, will I seem like I'm not fitting in?

But it's so weird that everyone has the same boyfriend!

"Snapped!"

A karate chop landed precisely on Liang's forehead.

"Liang! What nonsense are you spouting now!"

Hongxia suddenly rushed over, glaring at her unreliable bassist with annoyance, "Don't pretend to be someone's girlfriend!"

"I wasn't impersonating him." Liang covered his head, his expression remaining unchanged. "I was testing his girlfriend's tolerance level."

"This doesn't need any testing at all!"

Hongxia took a deep breath, turned to look at the completely confused Kita, and spoke in a gentle yet serious tone.

"Kita, don't listen to Ryo's nonsense. She's not Higashino's girlfriend at all."

"Then, what did Senior Liang just say—"

"She was joking and wanted Mr. Higashino to pay for her drink."

"Huh?" Kita blinked. "So Ryo-senpai just wanted to take advantage?"

"Yes, that's it."

Hongxia put her hands on her hips, looking helpless. "And Xiduo, you have to remember that many bands disband because members are dating or fighting over girls. Don't follow their example."

"I see……"

Kita breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it's good that the senior I admire has someone he likes, at least not so soon.

Suddenly, Akira Higashino, who had been observing from the sidelines, spoke up, "Actually, I wouldn't mind having an interesting girl like Ryo as a girlfriend."
