I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Encouraged by the enthusiastic feedback from the audience, Kita's voice became much more cheerful and lively: "That was our second song, 'That Band.' Next up is our band's third original song, 'Love Asteroid.' We hope you enjoy it."

As always, the drums start, the guitar kicks in to create the atmosphere, the bass quietly follows the rhythm, the rhythm guitar provides support, and the lead singer opens up the vocals.

"Hiding by the window that can't be cleaned properly"

"Counting the remnants of stardust"

"That Lonely Asteroid"

"The trajectory has deviated by seventeen years."

I thought it would only happen quietly.

"Passing through nothingness, falling into silence"

"Gravity out of control, Earth's axis tilting"

"In this night that is about to shatter"

But I happened to run into your warmth.

"But the world becomes softer because of it."

"I'm so glad I wasn't disliked."

"To meet you"

"It's the only one I want to hide deep within the Earth's core."

A small wish

"..."

Chapter 100 Kita: Is this rock and roll?!?

The singing continued.

The introverted girl with pink hair on stage kept her head down, not daring to look up. Only the blush on her fair earlobes, occasionally peeking out from her swaying thick hair, revealed her turbulent emotions.

Higashino Akira's expression faltered slightly, and his head nodded gently in rhythm.

Beside him, Mai Sakurajima, who had initially paid no attention but had started to perk up and even clapping from the second song onwards, suddenly turned to look at the man and said softly, "This song sounds like he's confessing to someone."

"Probably with me."

Akira Higashino responded softly, explaining that he learned from Ichiri Goto that she was responsible for writing the lyrics for their band's songs.

"Then why are you going to be so promiscuous and go find other girlfriends?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at him with some curiosity. Normally, whether male or female, when faced with something like this, they would either feel ashamed and break up, or be deeply moved.

However, Akira Higashino is not a normal person.

He turned and met Sakurajima Mai's gaze, then nodded seriously. "Find it!"

After saying that, they both laughed.

However, Mai Sakurajima was speechless and didn't know what to say, so she could only give a polite smile.

After all, she felt that in such a romantic setting, one should at least be caught up in the atmosphere and be devoted for a short while. Even if one were to be unfaithful, it would be reasonable to wait until after a period of separation and calm down before continuing the relationship.

I never expected to hear such an answer.

This man is heartless!

Akira Higashino was pleased with his good judgment; all the girls he actively pursued were top-notch, including Kawasaki and Ichiri.

Even though Boqi is so introverted and socially awkward, he took the initiative to nurture and care for her during their relationship, without rushing to take advantage. He thought things would continue to progress gradually like this, but unexpectedly, she suddenly pulled this somewhat romantic trick on him.

It's no easy feat to get someone as socially awkward as Ichiri Goto to take the initiative.

His long-term strategies and training have finally paid off. Who dares to say he didn't work on Master Mu?

Night falls, the performance ends, and Starlight closes its doors.

After experiencing the energy and excitement of the last band's performance, the subsequent band performances felt somewhat lacking. In addition, it was getting late, so Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana said goodbye to Higashino Akira and left Fanxing to get into their car on their way home.

Since Mai Sakurajima has not yet completely given up hope, nor does she intend to abandon her principles and become a third party, she said goodbye and left early, and Akira Higashino did not try to persuade her otherwise.

As he said, he doesn't lie or force people. As for relationships, although he doesn't care much about them, mutual consent is his bottom line.

Even the lowest moral standard is still a moral standard, and it's better than having none at all.

Because Ichiri needed to go to bed early and get up early to prepare for school the next day, the Goto couple did not stay long either. After saying goodbye to their daughter in advance, they somewhat carelessly asked Higashino Akira to look after Ichiri and accompany her to the band's debut celebration party before leaving.

The celebration party was held at an izakaya not far from the starry sky. The guests included Akira Higashino and the entire band, a tsundere sister-complex shop owner and her junior, and a sound engineer.

"cheers…"

"Everyone worked very hard on the performance, so it's my treat today. Drink up!"

As the host, Ichiji Hoshika generously covered the expenses for the victory celebration banquet.

"Thank you, sister." Upon hearing this, Ichiji Nijika smiled and thanked her, then quickly added with a helpless sigh, "Although we can't drink alcohol yet."

The uninvited purple-haired junior, holding a beer, happily hugged the manager and whispered, "I love you so much, senior, hehe..."

Then, she received a disapproving look from the store manager, who said, "Hey, you pay for it yourself, don't try to pay me back!"

Higashino Akira chimed in, saying "I like it," only to be met with a disdainful glare from the larger, more aloof version of Nijika.

"Speaking of which, who is this young lady?" Seeing how close the older woman was to the shop manager, it was clear that they had met before, and Kita was a little curious.

“Ah…oh! The older sister was a kind person who came to help me yesterday when I was trying to build up my courage to perform in front of people during a street performance. She even bought me a ticket.” Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri quickly explained, “Although she later lent me the money for the ticket, with interest, to cover my transportation expenses…”

"Then pay me back!" Ichiji Hoshika said, pinching the chubby cheek of the drunkard in an annoyed tone.

The other person wasn't angry and, in a drunken stupor, introduced himself to Kita.

"Kikuri Hiroi, a genius bassist who loves bass more than anyone else!"

She scratched her head, then chuckled sheepishly, "I left Beth at the pub yesterday, but I can't remember which one, hehehehehe..."

Kita: "Doesn't this sound contradictory?"

Yamada Ryo leaned closer, his eyes sparkling with intelligence, and said, "I often come to see your performances!"

Upon hearing this, Hiroi Kikuri's eyes widened in surprise. "Eh! Really? You have such good taste!"

"Spraying alcohol at the audience! Performing while cursing was fantastic! Getting my face stepped on is also a fond memory!"

=????(???????)

Kita (stunned): "I don't think I fully understand what rock and roll is..."

Hongxia (smiling): "It probably doesn't matter if I don't try to find out."

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira glanced at the drunkard opposite him, then at Goto Ichiri sitting beside him, who looked completely exhausted. Startled, she blushed and quickly hid her feet.

emmm...

Okay, he's not a foot fetishist and doesn't like feet.

But is rock music really this big?

Then, everyone ordered food, and while eating, the manager analyzed and summarized the band's performance for the day, encouraging them while pointing out the problems they still had.

Akira Higashino would occasionally use his chopsticks to pick up some food and stick it to Ichiri Goto's mouth, forcing her to open her mouth shyly and eat it, making her blush with embarrassment.

Then he gently nudged her with his shoulder, staring straight at her while glancing at the dishes on the table, indicating that it was her turn next. This immediately made the extremely shy girl jump, her eyes glaze over, and she fainted and fell backward.

Poke...

Higashino Akira felt a finger poke his side twice. He turned around and saw Yamada Ryo. While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, she had secretly slipped over.

Then, when Higashino Akira looked at her, she cupped her face in her hands, looking shy and expectant.

"Higashino, I like you. Let's start with a seven-day romance."

Boqi-chan: "!!!"

Hongxia: "!!!"

"Liang! What nonsense are you spouting now? You can't joke like that!"

When Ryo fell ill, Hongxia's mother rushed over and gave her a sharp slap on the head. She then gently comforted Boqi, telling her not to mind and that Ryo hadn't done it on purpose.

As for Yamada Ryo...

Akira Higashino took out his phone and glanced at the date. Today was March 24th, and there were seven days left until the end of the month.

He laughed. No wonder Liang Qichao's eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, only a thirst for money.

"I have no objection, but I'm a carnivore, and I can't accept a romantic relationship without physical intimacy."

Goto Ichiri: "I...I have no objection either."

Hongxia: "!!!"

Store Manager & PA & Hiroi Kikuri: "!!!"

Kita∑(°Д°): "Is this rock and roll?!"

Chapter 101 I Know It All!

"I have an opinion!"

Ichiji Nijika lightly tapped Pochi-chan on the head with a first-level chop, her little face serious as she looked at her, "Cheer up, Pochi! Boyfriends aren't for sharing!"

"And this isn't rock and roll at all!"

"Many bands break up because of relationship problems. The band has just started its first performance. We don't want the band to disband!"

Beside her, a tipsy Kikuto Hiroi nodded seriously. The disbandment of a band was indeed too cruel. "Right? I heard that some senators are even proposing to levy a disbandment tax on bands."

"That's true, but as long as there are no romantic entanglements, it's fine." Higashino Akira looked at the blond-haired girl who was lecturing his teammate like a mother with a serious expression. "I have the confidence to take responsibility for their lives!"

"Oh...! Yeah! You're really knowledgeable, buddy!"

For some inexplicable reason, Kikuri Hiroi found herself on the same wavelength as the only man on the field, and exclaimed in amazement.

Hearing this, Higashino Akatsuki smiled and said, "Just kidding, I know it all better than anyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in front of Higashino Akira dimmed. It was Ichiji Nijika, who had been trying to mediate between her teammates, who was now standing in front of him, bending down and looking at him with her little face puffed up.

"Really! Mr. Higashino! Please stop saying such mean things! It will hurt Pochi-chan's feelings if she hears it!"

"Eh... Eh! Me?"
