I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Footsteps approached quickly from inside the house.

The door opened, revealing a lady whose eyes, though etched with wrinkles by the hardships of life, still hinted at the charm and elegance of her youth.

"Ruri-chan!"

The woman looked at the girl behind the young man at the door, gasped softly, snapped out of her daze, and quickly bowed to the man.

"You must be Mr. Higashino. My husband has always been grateful for your care."

The lady thanked him earnestly. Behind her, she heard thumping footsteps approaching from inside the house. Two little girls ran over on the wooden floor, hiding behind their mother and curiously watching the handsome young man outside the door.

mother!

Behind Higashino Akira, Gokou Ruri stared wide-eyed at everything happening before her eyes, and Hinata and the others were also there!

But this is clearly not my home!

What are Mom and the others doing here?

"No need for formalities. Mr. Wugeng is an employee of Yunmeng Group. He encountered an accident while working for Yunmeng Group, and it is only right that Yunmeng takes care of him. He would not betray us even if he was bribed. We can never protect such an employee too much."

“It’s getting late. I’ve helped you get your daughter home safely. Madam, you should go back and take care of your family and get some rest. Don’t worry about Mr. Gogami; I’ve already assigned someone to protect him.”

After finishing speaking, Higashino Akira turned around and looked at the dumbfounded girl, especially gazing at her flat chest. He smiled slightly, waved, and then turned and left.

Are you kidding me? He was an emperor, after all. What hadn't he eaten?

Just a little brat.

He actually thought he would make a move against her?

In Akira Higashino's world, girls with small breasts are all lolis!

The vehicle restarted and slowly drove away.

The girl's face turned bright red as she belatedly realized she had been tricked again.

Especially that filthy thing's contemptuous smile before it left—even though so much time has passed, every time she thinks about it, she can't help but grit her teeth.

This person is so wicked!

If he hadn't run so fast, Gokou Ruri wouldn't have been able to control her sealed forbidden power. If it had been unleashed, she would have made him tremble and submit at the feet of the Fallen Saint Black Cat!

The girl's mind was racing, trying to imagine someone being trampled under her feet, begging for mercy and apologizing.

In the living room, the two youngest daughters of the Wu family looked at their older sister, whose little face was puffed up with anger and who was gritting her teeth. She would mutter strange things under her breath and then let out a silly laugh. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong with Sister Liuli?"

The younger sister, Tamaki, asked in a low voice, and the older sister, Hinata, nodded with certainty, "You're in love!"

"Huh...?"

"That's what love is like. It makes you stupid, making you laugh and cry, happy one moment and life and death the next. Zhuxi is still young, just a first grader. You'll understand when you're my age, like me in sixth grade."

"oh…!"

"Hey! You two, stop talking nonsense!"

Interrupted by her sister's words from her escalating fantasy, Gokou Ruri snapped back to reality, her eyes widening as she frantically tried to stop her.

The wife watched her three daughters laughing and playing, their lively scene filled with joy. She smiled gently, and only after they had finished playing and stopped did she curiously ask her eldest daughter a question.

"Thanks to Ruri-chan, we were able to escape the crisis today and also received Mr. Higashino's help to move here and be protected."

"It's not really my doing. It's mainly because my dad has a high moral standard, and the place where he works is also very humane."

The girl scratched her cheek a little shyly.

Seeing this, the lady smiled and did not refute her. "In Ruri-chan's opinion, what kind of person is Mr. Higashino?"

What kind of person is that?

Ruri Gokou pondered. He seemed to be quite mischievous and liked to play pranks. He also had a strong sense of responsibility and wouldn't abandon useless employees just because of the troublesome costs. Although he usually seemed a bit unapproachable and mature, he was very uninhibited when playing games.

The wife waited silently for her daughter's conclusion.

Then she heard that unexpected conclusion.

"He's probably someone who lacked maternal love."

After all, even in a game, who would casually call a girl younger than themselves, regardless of age or height, "Mom," especially to her face!

It's not like it's a comic convention where everyone is supposed to let loose. In private, you probably still wouldn't say it out loud, especially in front of someone of the opposite sex you've only met twice and aren't that familiar with.

He even shouted it so naturally!

Just how skilled is he at this?!

What a disgraceful guy. Is the African Star really that important to him?

She was only sixteen herself, yet there was a young woman in her early twenties standing next to her. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Beside her, the wife tilted her head in confusion, "Eh?"

I've imagined countless answers, but this is the one I never thought of.

Looking at her daughter's flushed face, the wife felt a mix of emotions.

Chapter 107 After get off work, I picked up a beautiful JK girl.

That night, Akira Higashino originally planned to go straight home.

Upon receiving the letter, the vehicle immediately turned around and left Tokyo, heading towards Kanagawa Prefecture.

After waiting for so long, Mai Sakurajima is probably about to give up.

Perhaps the original male protagonist of "Blue Pig" doesn't exist in this crossover anime world, or perhaps the timelines are different, and the two never met.

During the time that Higashino Akira arranged for someone to secretly monitor her, Sakurajima Mai's loss of presence did not improve until just now, when the Imperial Guards reported that the signal on Sakurajima Mai's cell phone had been lost.

Perhaps the phone was broken, or perhaps her condition continued to deteriorate and she could no longer charge the phone.

Arriving in Kanagawa Prefecture, led by the Imperial Guards, Higashino Akira arrived at the last known location of Sakurajima Mai's cell phone signal: a small community park. His eyes searched around and he quickly found a girl huddled on a park bench, shivering.

Walking over quickly, I saw that Mai Sakurajima's face was pale, and she was no longer as composed as before. She looked disheveled and miserable, and her eyes were closed.

Hearing footsteps approaching, she weakly opened her eyes, her gaze slowly focusing as she looked at the person. Her lips moved, but after nearly two days without food, her body, almost completely exhausted, could no longer support her in uttering those stubborn words.

Akira Higashino stood beside her.

"You're not going to make it."

The girl looked at him quietly, her pupils trembling slightly.

Clearly, she was also afraid of death.

What's more, he starved to death, and he was in so much pain before he died.

After she dies, will she still exist in this world?

Will she be discovered as a corpse? Or will no one even see her corpse? Or will her corpse, like all traces of Mai Sakurajima's existence, completely vanish?

"I can save you. In return, your life from now on belongs to me, and how I use you is my right."

Higashino Akira crouched down, keeping his gaze level with hers. "If you agree, close your eyes."

The girl silently closed her eyes.

Higashino Akira smiled, took out a piece of candy he had bought on the way from his pocket, put it in her mouth, and then picked her up and walked towards the car.

As he said, he has a moral bottom line, but not many.

He doesn't care about deep feelings, but pursues mutual consent. Although he won't use power or authority to oppress others, it doesn't mean he won't take advantage of their vulnerability and steal their precious life when they need it most.

He wasn't the one who caused Mai Sakurajima's tragic experience; he gave her the choice to live and didn't force her to agree, and that was enough.

As for Miss Mary and the Slit-Mouthed Woman?

Sorry, but they're not even human beings, so there's no need to talk to them about human rights.

Moreover, since the two sisters attacked him first, there's even less to say.

Even if it's a ghost, if it's the Thousand Souls Huayan Self-Slaying Child obtained from a late-night snack—someone who was human in life and can maintain rationality after death, without any malice or attack on him—he can still discuss treatment with that person.

The former was forced labor reform, and the latter was recruitment. Although both were mandatory, the treatment was clearly distinguished.

On the train back to Tokyo, Mai Sakurajima swallowed the last mouthful of syrup and finally felt her body was not so weak and cold. Her stomach, which had been numb to the point of losing sensation and only occasionally throbbing with pain, also felt hungry again.

Although still weak and powerless, I truly felt that I had escaped the brink of death and been pulled back to the side of life.

This was the first time in her life that she had experienced such a near-death hunger. She had originally thought that death was no big deal and that it would be fine to leave quietly, but after experiencing the true life-or-death situation, she could no longer muster the courage to face death quietly.

She clearly had the strength to speak, but lacked the will to refuse the person beside her.

In the face of life and death, dignity is truly insignificant.

Besides, it's just that kind of thing.

Having been a child star in the entertainment industry since she was young, she's seen plenty of those kinds of things. There are always people who lose something in order to gain something, whether they do it willingly or unwillingly. Although their goals are different, she is ultimately just an ordinary person.

The girl has come to terms with many things.

He remained silent and gently touched the person's hand.

When Higashino Akira turned to look at her, her fingers had already retracted. "Want more?"

"Ah."

Another candy was peeled and stuffed into the girl's mouth.

“In the past few days, various information about you has been disappearing from the internet. To be honest, the fact that you have lasted this long has exceeded my expectations.”

"Tell me about your experience?"

Higashino asked, and upon hearing this, Sakurajima Mai remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Nothing special. Although I can't use my bank card, I still have some cash on me. If no one can see me, I can take things myself, calculate the price, and pay. There is free drinking water in the park, so it should last for a while."

"Since no one can see you anyway, you're just not going to get the money if you run out?"

Mai Sakurajima remained silent and did not continue speaking.

At first, I was definitely sticking to my principles and unwilling to do that kind of thing. But later, when I was almost too weak to go on, I must have thought about it. But at that point, even walking was difficult, so I didn't have the ability to do free shopping.

Another candy melted into syrup in her mouth and was swallowed. Mai Sakurajima touched his hand again.

This time, Higashino Akatsuki shook her head and told her to wait until she got home for dinner, without giving her any more.

For someone in her condition who is on the verge of starvation, one or two candies are fine to help her get through it, but it's best not to give her too many candies at once, otherwise it might backfire.
