I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Goto Ichiri, who was suddenly called out, was stunned for a moment. She blinked and muttered softly, "I really don't mind. In fact, it makes me feel more at ease. It's too scary that someone like me would be liked."

Her voice grew weaker as she spoke, “Maybe it’s just a passing fancy, and she’ll soon get bored and dumped, then be lonely for the rest of her life, being pointed at and mocked by others, who will say things like, ‘Ah, how could anyone like that kind of woman? She was just delusional before. People will find her disgusting once they get to know her better, and she deserves to be dumped.’”

"If my boyfriend has many girlfriends, not just me, that would actually make me feel more at ease. After all, with so many girlfriends, one more wouldn't make a difference. Even if I don't like them, it would be nice to keep them like pets, right?"

"If Senior Ryo were here too, maybe he'd take care of me from time to time, out of consideration for us being teammates..."

"Don't treat yourself like a pet!" Ichiji Nijika was stunned by Pochi-chan's sudden series of self-disclosures.

Beside him, Yamada Ryo reached out and stroked Goto Ichiri's head, as if he were rubbing a dog's head, "Yoshi yoshi, good boy, Pochi, great."

"Eh! Is...is that so? Hehe..."

Nijika Ichiji: "Cool!!!!"

Across from them, the shop manager, an extreme siscon, couldn't hold back any longer and glared fiercely at the culprit, "You, stop teasing them!"

Beside the store manager, Miss Jiu Mengzi, holding a glass of beer, laughed so hard she pounded her chest and stomped her feet, laughing so hard tears welled up in her eyes. "Your band is really funny!"

"What's so funny?!" The shopkeeper grabbed the drunkard by the neck and slammed him against his chest.

"Senior, spare me..."

"I won't forgive you!"

"I can't breathe... glug glug (picks up a glass and drinks)"

"Why are you drinking if you can't breathe!"

"Hey! Drinking and breathing don't use the same channel, senior is so stupid."

"You idiot, give me that!!!"

Amidst the playful banter, time flew by unnoticed. Despite the ups and downs, the celebration banquet was successfully achieved overall, and it was quite lively, wasn't it?

As the party ended, Ichiji Nijika waved to everyone and then thoughtfully helped her older sister, Hiroi Kikuri, who was drunk, staggering, and unable to walk, towards their home.

The others said their goodbyes.

Akira Higashino accompanied Ichiri Goto as they walked slowly and leisurely along the narrow sidewalk, the atmosphere unusually quiet.

Goto Ichiri, carrying a guitar bag, followed the man beside her with her head down, her eyes occasionally glancing at his arm, her hands clenched into fists in her pockets.

'Should I take my boyfriend's hand at a time like this?'

"I think so, after all, they're lovers, and they've already met each other's parents."

"No, no, no, if I get rejected, I might be told, 'Yili, I never thought you were that kind of woman.'"

'But my boyfriend doesn't seem to be that kind of person.'

'Your teeth are so white! Your palms are sweaty; people would definitely hate it if I held them!'

The girl was lost in her own thoughts, her body moving forward instinctively, oblivious to the world around her.

Then, I was interrupted by the other party's sudden action.

Higashino Akira turned his head slightly, looking at the conflicted expression on her face, and followed Boqi's gaze. Realizing what she was thinking, he smiled, reached out and took her soft little hand out of her pocket, and held it in his hand.

"Watch where you're going when you're walking, don't get distracted."

"Ok."

Beside her, Goto Ichiri, who had come to her senses, stared blankly at the hand that the other had taken to hold hers. She instinctively responded with a word and followed closely behind, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

Hehehe…

The guitar hero has curved eyebrows and a shy, innocent look on his face.

Although her boyfriend may not only like her, he is definitely the person who has treated her the best and made her feel the most at ease in her life so far, besides her parents.

Goto Ichiri genuinely felt that this was good enough, and it would be even better if it could stay this way forever.

As they walked, Akira Higashino suddenly asked, "You've performed on the streets before?"

"Ah."

"Didn't you sell all five of your tickets?"

"Ah... well, because I couldn't just perform in front of other people like this, I was afraid of ruining the show that everyone had been looking forward to for so long, so I tried to do it."

Moreover, she was also afraid of disappointing her boyfriend.

Goto Ichiri pursed his lips, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say the last sentence.

"The performance today was great! Guitar Hero truly deserves the title, and Yili's lyrics are also excellent and very distinctive."

"Is...is that so? Hehe..." The girl giggled a little too proudly upon hearing this. "Actually, it's not that great. Everyone's efforts are also very important, and Senior Ryo's song is also very good."

"I especially like the last song, but rather than feeling it from the lyrics, I hope that Ichiri can express his feelings to me in person in private."

As he approached the end of the sidewalk, the car that was there to pick him up was already waiting at the intersection. Suddenly, Higashino Akira stopped, turned around, and looked intently at the girl.

P.S.: Regarding the lyrics in the previous concert chapter, some readers felt they were filler, but that's not true. I didn't use lyrics to pad the word count; I carefully controlled the word count. Since Hedgehog Cat charges in increments of 500 words, and that chapter was around 2200 words, the extra 100-200 words were roughly the total word count of those lyrics, so it wasn't actually charged. After all, with a storyline like this, including singing, it's impossible to have no lyrics at all. I will try to control the length and not let too much of this kind of content appear at once, like throwing out the entire song's lyrics all at once, to rip you off.

A song usually has only a few lines of lyrics, but the last song has a couple more. This is because the song title and lyrics are something I wrote myself to fit the later plot development and Boqi's character. After all, there's an extra main character, so it wouldn't be reasonable for Boqi's newly written song to be exactly the same as the original plot. I felt it would be a waste not to share it, so here I am (this part is also free as it hasn't reached the word limit for charging).

Chapter 102 You're not even willing to address me respectfully as "Kami Sama"

Why...?

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze wandering, unable to meet his eyes.

Seeing this, Higashino Akira gently cupped her face, lowered his head and kissed her. Their lips met, and Goto Ichiri silently closed her eyes, cooperating with him.

I don't know when it started, but she seems to have become a genuine "real-life person," even learning how to kiss.

Pochi-chan is truly amazing!

The girl secretly praised herself with a touch of self-satisfaction.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Akira Higashino raised his head again, looking at Ichiri's slowly opening eyes, those clear and clean eyes that looked as wet as if they had been washed by a clear spring, and said earnestly, "Because that way, it would be inconvenient for me to kiss you directly when I like you the most."

At a street corner not far away, two girls, one in blue and one in red, stood far apart, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the two people kissing as if no one else was around.

The red-haired girl, her face flushed, looked at the two with a kind, aunt-like smile, as if she could smell the sweet fragrance of love even from this distance.

The blue-haired girl gasped softly, "Wow... I didn't realize Pochi-chan was so bold!"

Upon hearing this, the red-haired girl quickly covered her mouth, "Senior Liang, shh! Keep your voice down, don't let us get caught!"

"And it's really bad to gossip about others behind their backs!"

Thinking of Kita's blushing face and fixed gaze, looking both shy and curious, Yamada Ryo suddenly had a good idea pop into his head.

She looked at Kita intently, then suddenly slammed Kita against the wall next to her. Her face, which had always maintained a cool and aloof beauty, was full of determination. "If Kita wants to try kissing, I can do it too."

"S-senpai..."

The red-haired girl, Kita, looked at her senior's cool and pretty face, swallowed hard, stammered, and blushed even more.

"Chenghui 100,000 yen!"

"Huh?"

"For 100,000 yen, you can get a kiss from the genius bassist of the band! Because it's Kita, that's why we're offering such a huge discount!"

"Senior Ryo is an idiot!"

Kita broke free from his senior's wall-pinning position, covered his face, and sped away.

Only Yamada Ryo remained, sighing and lamenting.

I'm even more envious of Boqi-chan now.

On the way home, Goto Ichiri was too embarrassed to stay at Higashino Akira's place, and Higashino Akira didn't force her. After all, he could see that she had already tried very hard, and it was okay that she was not willing to take the final step yet. At the current pace, it probably wouldn't be long before she was willing.

Higashino Akira wasn't in a hurry. As for those girls who were with him for mutual benefit, he was quick to cut his losses and take them in first.

But for someone like Boqi who doesn't ask anything of him, he doesn't mind spending a little more time cultivating the relationship. After all, it doesn't take much effort, and this girl is really easy to please.

Akira Higashino returned to Shimokitazawa alone and had his driver take Ichiri Goto home.

Just as he finished and was about to wash up and go to bed, he remembered that Yukino Yukinoshita had been in the harem for so long. He had finally thought of this girl again. He had already taken her in, and it wouldn't be right to keep her hanging on like a widow.

And she's constantly being teased by that guy, Yang Nai, who says he's scheming and deliberately bullies her sister.

With nothing much to do today, it's time to check out Yukino Yukinoshita's blog.

Just then, the phone rang.

Akira Higashino picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then answered the call.

"Your Majesty, Miss Takatsuki Eiko has been in trouble."

"..."

.........

It was midnight at a private hospital.

When Higashino Akira arrived, he sat at the entrance of the operating room, watching a surveillance video on his phone. Beside him was Takatsuki, whose body was bandaged in many places, but most of them were superficial wounds. She was still able to move freely and was holding two babies in her arms.

In the video, the two sisters, Baoyue Yexiao and Baoyue Yongzi, took advantage of the darkness and went up the mountain where they had previously gone to capture the mountain god.

Then, at the original location of the mountain god's shrine, a hidden giant was provoked out through some means, and then came the classic evil Pokémon battle. Unfortunately, the ability mechanism of the courtesan that Baoyue Night Snack brought had already been exposed once. The giant that was provoked did not give the courtesan a chance to unleash her ability, directly crushing her with its numerical advantage, interrupting the courtesan's power, and then began to wreak havoc on all sides.

It was at this time that Takatsuki Eiko was injured, and although Takatsuki Yasui was quite skilled, he was not completely spared either.

Fortunately, she also brought another newly acquired graduate with her. Through a white cloth strip, she summoned another graduate, who withstood most of the pressure from the giant evil spirit. However, the opponent's mechanics were no joke, not to mention its sufficiently powerful stats.

Just as the graduate behind him was about to give up, the Imperial Guards who had been left behind at the base at the foot of the mountain to observe the enemy situation through the surveillance cameras that were subsequently installed discovered something was wrong. This was because Higashino Akira had been worried that the mountain god might have a powerful backer or helpers.

Drones carrying explosives were promptly dispatched to provide support. The dense array of explosives completely ravaged the area where the shrine was located. The violent physical explosions and energy shocks severely injured the giant evil spirit, which was then severely crippled by the graduate of Baoyue Night Snack, who then forcibly subdued it.

Afterwards, the two seriously injured sisters, Baoyue and Baoyue, were rescued in time by the Imperial Guards who came up the mountain and sent to the hospital.

After watching the video, Higashino Akira put down his phone and turned his gaze to Xiao Yexiao, who was sitting quietly beside him, lost in thought and not saying a word.

"Was that the place I took you there?"

"Ah."
