I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

This is what we call a win-win situation!

They picked up Miko and the expectant Yurikawa by car and headed towards the house reserved for Sakurajima Mai.

Before leaving, he asked about his two cats at home, but Yukino Yukinoshita did not plan to go with him. Since it was the holidays and she didn't have to go out to school every day, she wanted to go home and spend time with her family whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Of course, one reason is that I was also somewhat provoked.

After all, being by someone's side all day long, worrying about his coming and annoyed by his not coming, and then being teased and pranked by her older sister, even the aloof Yukino Shimoshita couldn't help but feel some complicated and melancholy.

What she found even harder to accept was that everyone had the same experience, being treated like kittens.

However, Toyokawa Shoko turned back into a human!

It wasn't because of that man's ability to turn back ten or so hours every day, but because of herself. She reflected on herself, genuinely recognized her own shortcomings, found a new goal, and truly broke free from her original inner shackles.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't understand why someone would say strange things like, "The weak version of herself from the past is dead. The current version of herself is stronger. She's not trying to prove herself to others, but to herself. She wants to become human! She wants to become a completely new Toyokawa Shoko!" and then inexplicably experience strange growth.

Is this even human?

It's strange enough to say something like that, isn't it?

It was already strange that everyone was living together, but the changes in her roommates made it even stranger. This made Yukinoshita, who had always believed that she was firmly on the right path, wonder if she was being too normal and thus seemed abnormal.

Is the reason she can't turn back into a human simply because she's not strange enough?

She even asked Toyokawa Shoko what she wanted to do in the future, and he told her that she wanted to find new people to form a new band that could truly support her and achieve a successful debut and lasting fame.

Is playing in a girl group an important ritual for becoming human?

But why did she feel that the girl's mental state was even stranger than before when she looked at her?

The man not only didn't see anything wrong with it, but also strongly supported Xiangzi, telling her to go find teammates and that he would be in charge of running their band.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't understand. She just felt that the world was strange, as if it had gone mad in ways she didn't quite understand. She just wanted to go home and have some peace and quiet, see her father, spend time with her mother, and then be teased by her sister a few less times.

"Brother Dongye, where are we going next?"

On the bus, Yurikawa Kaname took out a DSLR camera, turned on the video recording function, and energetically recorded everything about this trip, occasionally steering the conversation towards Miko or Higashino Akira.

Akira Higashino didn't mind chatting with her, since he quite liked the girl's personality.

"Go to the countryside."

Which rural area?

"My hometown, Omdy."

"Oh... are there any fun places to visit there?"

"Fun? It's hard to say. Everyone has a different opinion, so it's hard to say. But there are a lot of pretty girls in Okumizome, and they have great figures too."

"Ugh! Higashino-san, H!"

"Nonsense, I just know how to appreciate beauty."

"Wow! Saying something like that is already incredibly frivolous!"

"How could that be?" Higashino Akira took the camera from the girl and pointed it at her. "For example, I also think that Miko and Xiaohua are very cute, especially Xiaohua, who has a great figure. You can never praise beautiful things too much, at least in this respect, you don't have to hide it."

Upon hearing this, the two girls blushed instantly, their expressions shy, and the beautiful scene was captured in the video.

"Yes, you look even cuter now that you're blushing."

"You...you...Brother Dongye is bullying us! If you keep doing this, we're not talking to you anymore!"

The girl blushed and tried to snatch the camera back, but Higashino Akira didn't resist. He just teased, "I remember someone said they liked me a couple of days ago."

"Where is it...!!!"

The girl pouted and whine, her voice soft and sweet.

Beside him, someone emotionlessly repeated those words, "I love Onii-chan the most!"

"Oh no!" Instantly, the girl's face, which had been flushed with shyness, turned hot. She muttered something under her breath and turned her head away, embarrassed to look at him. "That's Jianzi's account. Jianzi is my younger sister. It's not a problem for her to say she likes her older brother, is it?"

Yotsuya Miko: "Huh?"

I was happily watching my best friend and my "brother" tease each other, but suddenly I found myself being blamed?

Yotsuya Miko stared wide-eyed at Xiaohua in disbelief.

Is the friendship between best friends really just a facade?

"Oh, I see. This is the first time I've known that Miko likes me so much."

"Right...right?"

That's not right!

Yotsuya Miko stared in shock at her best friend who was spouting nonsense. She was a grown woman; it just didn't seem right for her to say she liked her brother.

Even if they were biological siblings, it would seem a bit strange. But for someone like her, who wasn't actually siblings and could only call someone "brother" out of respect for their guardianship, it would be even stranger to say it like that!

What should I do if I am misunderstood?

Although I listened to my mother's advice and wanted to get along well with my brother, it wasn't to that extent!

Oh no, Xiaohua has ruined my life!

P.S.: That concludes today's two updates. I'll organize my thoughts and write out the detailed outline for the next chapters. Tomorrow, I'll update 10,000 words daily, which is three chapters. If I can't do that, I'll just owe a few extra chapters. I'll finish making up for all the chapters I owe from the previous book by next week, and then summarize how much I owe in the bounty for the book's release, and continue making up for that.

Additionally, some character images are difficult to find on browsers; either the quality is low or they're too blurry. Searching on image websites yields too many inappropriate pictures. Perhaps my database is already well-developed, especially for images of characters like Jianzi; almost all the decent ones are erotic, and many are even depicting lewd evil spirits. Therefore, I can only post a portion of the images in the book. For the rest, I'll try to post the complete images in the group. The group number for book lovers who want to save the images is: 1085672997

Chapter 113 You get jealous of girls too?

Yotsuya Miko rushed over, grabbed Xiaohua, covered her mouth, and tickled her waist with her other hand, determined not to let her continue talking nonsense.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, she'll soon be 'brother's' girlfriend!

For a moment, Yuri Kawana's body twisted like a maggot, tears welling up in her eyes, while muffled laughter escaped from her mouth, which was covered by Miko.

"Shy?"

Across from him, Higashino Akira teased with a smile in his eyes.

Hearing this, the girl turned her face away shyly and changed the subject, "Um, how long will it take us to get to Okumizome?"

Seeing this, Higashino Akira stopped teasing her, lest Jianzi become enraged and kill Xiaohua on the spot.

"If we take this bus now, it will take a very long time, more than ten hours."

"So I'm going to pick someone up later, and then we'll transfer to the Shinkansen."

Taking advantage of a moment when Miko relaxed during their conversation, Yurikawa Hana broke free from Miko's clutches and fled to Higashino Akira's side. She wouldn't dare to get close to Miko again for a while.

It's scary to be shy when meeting your child!

Amidst laughter and banter, they arrived at their destination. The vehicle stopped, and Higashino Akira got up, opened the car door, got out, walked towards the detached house next door, knocked on the door, and went inside.

Behind them, two curious girls pressed their faces against the car window, their eyes following closely, their gazes filled with a thirst for gossip.

Then, they saw Akira Higashino pulling a suitcase out, and the nationally famous girl beside him. The two of them immediately widened their eyes.

[Qi consumption 1000]

"Sakurajima Mai!!!"

The car door opened, and Yurikawa exclaimed in surprise, while even Miko looked shocked.

She felt that her "brother" was far more powerful than she had imagined. She had thought he was just rich, but she didn't expect that even a national female star seemed to have a close relationship with him.

Seeing the two surprised girls, Mai Sakurajima, a mature entertainer, smiled calmly and nodded to them, saying in a gentle tone, "Hello, I am Mai Sakurajima."

The two belatedly realized that they hadn't introduced themselves yet, which seemed a bit impolite, so they quickly said, "Um, my name is Yurikawa Hana, you can just call me Hana. That's what Miko calls me too, Miko is Higashino-san's sister."

"Hello, I am Miko Yotsuya."

Upon hearing the surname Yotsuya, which had absolutely no connection to Higashino, Mai Sakurajima's eyes flickered slightly, but her gentle smile remained undiminished. "In exchange, please just call me Mai, Miko, or Hana."

Akira Higashino put Mai Sakurajima's luggage away, got into the car, and returned to his usual seat in the back. The driver continued driving.

However, as soon as he sat down, he was met with the staring eyes of two girls.

"what happened?"

Akira Higashino glanced at Miko and Koka sitting next to him.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohua clasped her hands together, looked at him with a devout expression, and pleaded in her voice, "Brother Dongye, could you switch seats with Mai-san? We'd like to sit and chat with Mai-san, please, please..."

Akira Higashino glanced at Miko again and noticed that she was also looking at him expectantly.

Across from him, the famous actress Mai simply winked playfully at him.

He rolled his eyes at the two fickle younger sisters, then silently got up and sat down next to Mai Sakurajima, letting her sit over there. He was then sandwiched between the two girls.

Yurikawa Hana: "(Loudly) Yay! Long live Higashino-san!"

Yotsuya Miko: "(whispering) Hooray!"

In the back row, the three very different and beautiful girls started chatting. With the help of a certain celebrity's social skills, the more they got to know each other, the more harmonious their relationship became. They even started talking about the relationship between Mai Sakurajima and Akira Higashino. She frankly stated that the two girls were lovers, which drew gasps from the two girls. Of course, autographs and photos were also inevitable.

Although they wouldn't call themselves die-hard fans, Mai Sakurajima, whom they've watched grow up, is a celebrity they really like.

After all, Mai Sakurajima's works and various film and television characters have truly accompanied them from childhood to adolescence, and may even extend into their later lives.

Upon arriving at the station and boarding the Shinkansen train, Akira Higashino decisively used the excuse of not being able to buy tickets for nearby seats to send the two "little light bulbs" to other seats, while he himself sat next to Mai Sakurajima.

In reality, he had bought all the tickets for the entire carriage. Only about half of the seats were occupied, and they were all his own people who had been pre-arranged to board at various stations.

Traveling back to his hometown by car for more than ten hours straight was too exhausting. Although the train was faster, he had been ambushed once before, and it was impossible for Higashino Akira to be caught off guard a second time.

In fact, besides the Imperial Guards who deal with physical attacks, even the two graduates who received imperial titles after getting the snacks from Xiao Yexiao also followed Higashino Akira, hiding on this train, setting up a barrier, and being responsible for guarding against attacks from the supernatural side.

Akira Higashino's strength is indeed not bad. Whether it's being possessed by evil spirits or in Mortal Kombat, as long as he's not being targeted by a barrage of firearms, he can handle it with ease. But as an emperor, it's one thing to be unprepared for unexpected situations occasionally, but he can't be going to the front lines every day and fighting with others.

If that's the case, what's the point of having so many subordinates?

The imperial court's rice was not something to be eaten for free.

Perhaps knowing that he was not easy to move, and that using firearms would be too conspicuous and leave a trace, they did not want to expose him too early. As a result, this trip went without any abnormalities or attacks.

At the front of the carriage, two unsuspecting girls were talking quietly so as not to disturb other passengers, while they looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest.

As time passed, they gradually became bored, leaned against each other, and slowly fell asleep.
