I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Will that person help her?

Is he capable of helping her?

Unbeknownst to Yukino Yukinoshita, she kept her thoughts hidden deep within her heart, no longer naively sharing them with outsiders. The only realization she had gained from her experiences over this period was that when it came to ideals, no amount of words could compare to concrete actions.

"I didn't expect that, what about you?"

"As for me, I'm not sure, maybe I'll think about it later."

Toyokawa Shoko forced a smile, not confiding in Yukinoshita, with whom she had only a casual relationship, or saying anything more.

The two glanced at each other, nodded, and returned to their previous acquaintance.

The alarms they had set in advance went off, and they rushed back to their bedrooms before turning back into kittens.

Toyokawa Shoko lay alone in bed, looking at her phone screen at her former teammates who had been persuaded by Su Shi and were now trying to find reasons to forgive her and invite her back to CRYCHIC.

Thinking back to her recent trip home, she noticed that her grandfather and father, who had acted strangely during the time she was missing, had not yet been found. She confirmed that her father did indeed have money, and she also learned from her father that her grandfather had an extramarital affair and even had a child.

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt that everything was absurd. All the suffering she had endured and the efforts she had made to prove something to someone seemed like a joke.

It's no longer needed.

There's no need to kill your weak self and pretend to be strong, nor to rush around worrying about the 168 billion loss.

She needs to take some time to think about what she should do next, apologize properly to Deng and the others, and then...

Toyokawa Shoko recalled the image of the light green-haired girl who had been silently caring for her from the beginning; she still couldn't let go of her worries about Mutsu.

Chapter 97 Will you be afraid to see your son?

On the same night, Toyokawa Shoko was worried about the girl who was like a younger sister to her.

Yukino Yukinoshita, as the younger sister, is troubled by being teased and joked about by her older sister during a video call.

.........

Two days passed in a flash.

In Shimokitazawa, a black minivan stopped near the stars, and two strikingly different beautiful girls stepped out of the car.

"Oh... we've finally arrived!"

"My butt is a bit numb from sitting in the car for so long. I will never take a private car during rush hour in the evening again. It's so uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired beauty rolled her eyes at her carefree best friend. Although there weren't many people around, it was still too embarrassing for a girl to keep talking about her butt in public.

"It was Xiaohua who wanted to come along; I didn't try to stop you."

"Eh...! But without me by her side, won't Miko be scared?"

The orange-haired, busty beauty, Yurikawa Hana, felt a little resentful about her best friend's attempt to distance herself from her. With her chubby cheeks, she bent down and turned to look at her.

Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko quickly reached out and straightened her body.

"Xiao Hua, walk carefully. The light is poor at night. It would be terrible if you fell."

This period was the most relaxed time for Yotsuya Miko since she awakened her Yin-Yang Eyes. Normally, there were evil spirits all over the streets, but every time one got close to her, a very beautiful older sister spirit would take action and eliminate it. If it was a very powerful character, the older sister would also remind her to turn around and leave.

Although there was no verbal exchange between them, she didn't dare to take the initiative to communicate with the other party, and the other party didn't know why she didn't say a word, but Yotsuya Miko could understand that she was probably protecting herself.

Without the threat of survival, as long as she behaves well and doesn't run around, Yotsuya Miko no longer needs to pretend to be expressionless all day long, fearing that she might reveal a flaw and suffer misfortune. As a result, her facial expressions have become much more vivid, and she talks more frequently.

From Yurikawa's perspective, it means that Miko finally relaxed after seeing that Higashino-san had a girlfriend.

So it seems that although Higashino is a bit of a womanizer, having a girlfriend isn't entirely a bad thing.

Faced with Miko's concern, Yurikawa obediently cooperated, then reached out and took Miko's arm, giving her a bright and sunny smile.

"I'm also paying attention to safety."

"Speaking of which, Brother Dongye even arranged a private car for him. That car looked quite valuable, and he even had a personal driver. Could he be the heir to some kind of conglomerate?"

The two followed the directions on their tickets toward the underground entrance to the Starry Sky, chatting as they walked.

Yotsuya Miko shook her head upon hearing this, "I don't know either. Anyway, my family is just an ordinary family, and Uncle Higashino just seemed to have better working conditions before."

"Hmm...maybe it's because Higashino-san's mother is some kind of wealthy heiress, and she fell in love with Higashino-uncle, but his family disapproved. They threw a card at him, saying there were millions in it, and told him to leave his aunt?"

Yuri Kawana pouted, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her best friend, "Maybe you're going to become a chaebol heiress now, Miko!"

Don't spread rumors.

Yotsuya Miko gently tapped Xiaohua's cheek, then didn't continue the topic.

On the one hand, it's impolite to gossip and speculate about others behind their backs. On the other hand, although her "brother" treated her well and never mistreated her in terms of living conditions and finances, he had already told her frankly from the day he officially became her guardian that he would only support her until she reached adulthood or finished her studies.

So even if her 'brother' really is the heir to a conglomerate, it's hard to say what kind of relationship she could possibly have with that conglomerate.

As the two walked into the store, the lively and noisy sounds inside filled their minds, making the girls, who had never been to such a place before, feel both uncomfortable and curious.

"It doesn't look very big."

Yurikawa Hana quietly shared her feelings with Miko.

Hearing this, Jianzi nodded in agreement, "After all, it's just a Live House, it can't really be that big, right? There are drinks over there."

"Great!"

The two girls each held a cup of beverage and sipped it slowly, but they still didn't see Akira Higashino. The performance on stage gradually began, so they could only watch for now.

There weren't many performers at Starlight today, just a few bands, and the venue was held together by them.

To be fair, although the venue was a bit small, the atmosphere was really good, especially the bands on stage. Jianzi and Xiaohua might not be able to tell how well they sang, but they really had something special to offer. During the interlude, there were segments where the bassist showed off his street dance moves, the lead singer told jokes, and the guitarist showed off his skills by biting the guitar strings with his teeth.

Then they got beaten up by the loud drummer.

The show was a huge success; Yuri Kawaka clapped so hard her hands were red, completely forgetting that the performers were a band, not comedians.

Even when seeing Zi, she would occasionally chuckle.

Just as she was having a good time, she suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder. Yotsuya Miko frowned and looked back with some confusion.

"You're here so early?"

The person who arrived was Akira Higashino, who had just arrived not long ago. After all, he came here mainly to watch the band that had finished performing, and he wasn't very interested in the other bands and performers. Moreover, he had to pick someone up, so he didn't arrive at the beginning.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko was about to greet her "older brother" when Xiaohua's surprised voice rang out from beside her.

"Ah, it's Higashino-san!"

"Long time no see, good evening, Xiaohua." Higashino Akira nodded gently to the lively girl.

Seeing this, Baihechuan Hua looked him up and down a few times, and asked curiously, "Didn't Xiangzi come with Higashino-san?"

"After all, you're here too, you'll be shy."

"That's all because Higashino-san didn't pay any attention to the occasion beforehand!"

Baihe Chuanhua, whose baby fat hadn't completely disappeared, wore a look of disdain as she mercilessly criticized her older brother.

"Who lets a girl do that in the living room?!"

Hearing this, Higashino Akira didn't get angry and smiled, "I am one of them."

Teasing girls is fun, but not every girl is entertaining when you tease her. This little girl is different; no matter when you tease her, Higashino Akira always finds it quite amusing.

Because she has a genuine childlike quality, a lovely personality, is quite innocent and honest, and speaks her mind without hesitation.

"Besides, I didn't invite you before, did I? Everyone knows I'm a bad guy, yet you still dared to ask me for tickets to come along. Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Why is the blue-haired guitarist's guitar silent?

Upon hearing this, Yurikawa wrinkled her little nose and gave Higashino Akira a look of disgust.

"I'm not like Xiangzi at all. I would never be so foolish as to fall for a womanizer like Dongye, so I'm not afraid of being fooled by you."

"Oh... really not?" Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira smiled and leaned closer, his cheek almost touching hers.

In an instant, Baihechuanhua's eyes widened, a slight blush suddenly appearing on her fair face, and she quickly took half a step back.

"Of course it's true!"

She hugged her best friend Jianzi tightly, using her friend's protection as leverage, "Besides, Jianzi will protect me too, right?"

Faced with her best friend's sudden trust, Yotsuya Miko puffed out her cheeks. "These two are here again. Every time they tease and joke with each other, they always end up bringing up the topic of me."

Seriously, what kind of malicious adults are these, always teasing children and asking their kids whether they like their dad or mom more?

angry.

The little panda put its hands in its pockets and didn't want to talk to anyone.

"Ah! It's the older brother in the photo on my sister's room wall!"

As we were chatting, a surprised and innocent child's voice suddenly rang out from beside us.

Akira Higashino turned his head and saw a little girl with short pink hair riding on the neck of a man with similarly pink hair, only in a darker shade.

Beside the man was a gentle and charming wife; the whole family had pink hair.

From the little girl's hair color and the words she spoke, Higashino Akira could roughly guess the family's identity.

She certainly doesn't look very strong; no wonder Yili is always worried about her beating up her parents.

"Hello, I am Akira Higashino. I am in a relationship with Ichiri. I have heard about you from Ichiri."

He turned his gaze to the little girl with bright, sparkling eyes staring at him and smiled. "You must be Erli. Just as Ili said, you're very cute."

Erli beamed with delight upon hearing this, and, being very tactful, loudly praised back, "Big brother is handsome too!"

"Erli, you can't say a boy is good-looking, you have to say he's handsome," the wife gently instructed her youngest daughter, smiling as she sized up the young man opposite her.

"So those weren't photoshopped after all. Yili didn't just imagine a boyfriend!"

It wasn't until reality hit him that Goto's father realized with disbelief that his daughter, who had been autistic, socially awkward, and shy since childhood, was actually in love!

The old father suddenly felt a shocking sense of awe, as if his own little cabbage had finally learned to "root the pig" (a metaphor for being successful in the field).

From having no friends to finding herself a super handsome boyfriend!

This evolution is a bit too fast!

"Ichiri is very cute, both in appearance and personality. I like her very much. It's just that she wasn't ready before, so I haven't been able to visit her. Please forgive me."

"Oh, no, no."

The two men exchanged pleasantries, unsure of what to say next. It was the first time Higashino Akira was meeting his girlfriend's parents, and it was also the first time Ichiri's father was meeting his son-in-law. Both were a bit inexperienced.
