I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

You seem to be having a good time.

Akira Higashino's words made Mai Sakurajima suddenly realize something.

She never hated acting; she just disliked being watched by everyone, being gossiped about behind her back, and even having rumors spread.

How long has it been since she last went to the film set?

P.S.: Fourth update

Chapter 117 Kasugano

Night fell, and Akira Higashino lay in bed.

The bedroom door was suddenly pulled open, and when he turned around, he saw Ying coming over with a pillow in her arms.

This time, they didn't even bring an extra blanket.

A group of small light bulbs.

Why are they still so energetic after running around and having fun all day?

The bed trembled slightly as a hot body slipped into the covers and then wrapped itself around the bed like an octopus.

The feeling of suffocation.

He sighed and reached out to try and push the clingy person away a little.

Unexpectedly, Tiannv Muying hugged her even tighter, closing her eyes and whining, "Brother, it's so cold..."

"It's already summer, stop talking nonsense. Also, you're so heavy."

"It's not heavy at all. Half of Ying's weight comes from her longing for her older brother. It would be very rude for an older brother to complain about his younger sister at a time like this..."

"Where did this strange setting come from?"

In the end, Akira Higashino chose to give up and stopped pushing her away.

She wasn't this clingy when I came back last time.

It's probably because of what Miko and the others did.

Oh well, I'll just have to bear with it. I'll be free to go back to Tokyo in a few days and have a good time.

Turn off the lights, close your eyes, and go to sleep.

At night, Higashino Akira suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the little face that was pressed against his face, and pulled it hard, pulling away her hands that were groping downwards.

Unable to bear it any longer, he flipped the stupid guy over and pressed him onto his thigh, then slapped him hard on the back of his perky, full, and elastic taillights.

"Can't you just sleep peacefully? If you keep making a fuss, I'm going to sleep in the same room as Jianzi and the others!"

"Hey..."

In the darkness, the girl let out a soft, plaintive murmur.

Higashino Akira released her again and lay back in bed. This time, Amane Emi finally went to sleep obediently and stopped causing trouble.

It wasn't that she was afraid of being hit; being spanked was nothing, it would just hurt a little at most. Anyway, her older brother wouldn't bear to beat her and cause any serious problems.

The main concern is that she might send her older brother to Miko's side. Although she has become good friends with Miko and the others and has not realized that they intend to compete with her for her older brother, what if they do?

You can't just act as a matchmaker for anyone!

One Ying is enough when it comes to girls with a younger sister vibe!

.........

The filming of the promotional video continued over the next few days, mainly to promote local tourism. The goal was to capture various scenic spots in the rebuilt Omozhan area, requiring visits to numerous locations.

Mai Sakurajima, who had already finished filming her scenes, was in no hurry to return to Tokyo. In her spare time, she would occasionally accompany Miko and the others to take photos together. She would also take the teasing and bullying she had received from Akira Higashino and inflict it on his younger sister, Akira Amatsume, from time to time.

As they met more often, they gained a more detailed understanding of each other's character and personality, and their relationship actually became much more harmonious.

It has a comedic feel to it, like a pair of bickering lovers.

Occasionally, Mai Sakurajima would go to the set to help the director instruct the girls who, although cute, were complete novices in acting, thus advancing the filming schedule.

As for Akira Higashino, he only went to supervise the event for the first two days, and then he never went back.

Compared to the promotional video, there are still many things in Okuzome that he needs to personally verify and consider. The local people are only giving him preferential treatment and smoothing things over with Yunmeng Group's various measures because of the shrine and him, but he cannot take this for granted.

He wanted to ensure that those who supported him could live a good life.

Moreover, this is also a pilot project; if everything works, it can be extended to other regions.

His usual companions are mostly local politicians with prestige and real power.

Today, it's the turn of the biological father of my clingy little sister, Akira Amami.

"Since Okumizome received Mr. Higashino's strong support, the living standards and income levels of the local residents have improved significantly, and everyone is very grateful to you."

"No rush, please speak. My daughter admires you immensely in private and aspires to join Yunmeng in the future to become your right-hand woman and follow you closely."

The other party clearly knew that Higashino Akira didn't particularly like or think highly of him, so instead of trying to get close to him himself, he simply offered a few words of praise and then introduced his daughter.

Everyone knew that this young palace official had a bright future. It didn't matter if they couldn't get close to him, he still had his daughter.

Moreover, there is more than one.

Ying grew up with this young man, and with Ichiyo also involved, the two sisters together, as someone who had been young before, he didn't think Higashino Akira could remain unmoved.

He was tempted. Even if he couldn't take the rightful place, Ying's brother was more courageous and responsible than this old man. He wouldn't mistreat Ichiyo and the Nagisa family.

Unmoved, as long as they can board the Yunmeng ship and grow together with the other party, the Zhu family will also prosper.

Old Deng knew perfectly well that with Ying around, their family had a much better chance than others.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira simply smiled and replied dismissively, "No rush, let's wait until she graduates from her next school."

In reality, there was no intention to bring Nagisa Ichiyo, this country bumpkin, to Tokyo. Her talents might be good as a wife, but she wasn't quite good enough as a high-level tool. It would be better for her to stay with Ei. There was no need to forcibly separate these two sisters who cared for each other.

As for the significant increase in local income, opinions vary. While there has been growth, it's certainly not exaggerated. Okumizome is a small place with no special products. The best scenery is a lake behind the shrine. If they really want to develop, they should either pursue a technological route or focus on cultural tourism.

We'll have to wait until the game "Omizome Story" is released to see the real effect.

"Yunmeng Group and I have been able to develop to where we are today, which is inseparable from the care and support of our local compatriots. It is the result of everyone's mutual success."

"By the way, since everyone has lost their land recently, they can't bring home the various agricultural products from the land like before. Instead, they are paid in cash. Has the cost of living been affected?"

“No!” Old Deng nodded firmly. “After all, it’s the countryside. Even if all of Aomurzhan’s land is sold, as long as you have money, there are affordable agricultural products all around. You just have to work and get paid, and you don’t have to worry about anything else. Everyone is actually living a more relaxed life than before when they were working for the farmers.”

"If anything is not going well, it's all due to personal reasons and can't be blamed on Yunmeng Group."

"Yes?" Higashino Akira raised an eyebrow.

"Life is finally getting better, but there are always a few people who make foolish mistakes and squander their money, or those who are unlucky in life inevitably have a hard time. The salary that could have provided a comfortable life for their family may become insufficient when faced with a difficult illness."

"And then there's the little girl from the Kasugano family. Her parents passed away unexpectedly some time ago, and she's in poor health, a sickly person who's always getting sick. Her distant relatives all felt she was too much of a burden and didn't want to take her in, so they just adopted her brother and left her to come back alone to inherit the farmland and property in the countryside. She's also an introverted person, and since she came back, she's hardly ever gone to school, locking herself in the house every day."

"After Yunmeng arrived, she made a sum of money by selling her only one or two plots of land. However, her health was poor, and she was unable to work. Although she had a job, she could not receive Yunmeng's fixed salary. In front of everyone, she could only sublet her job and collect about 100,000 yuan in rent per month. After deducting water, electricity and food expenses, there was not much left."

"If my health deteriorates even slightly at any time, it will be a disaster."

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira recalled an image of a white-haired little girl he had seen as a child, "Kasugano Sora?"

P.S.: This is the fifth update, but I'm out of luck. I need to take a break.

Chapter 118 Amusing Oneself

As a legendary leader of children in the Okumizome industry, he might not have had much of a relationship with local boys of similar age, but he had basically grown up playing with all the girls.

It's simply a difference between being very familiar with someone and being only moderately familiar with them.

The famous Sora was no exception. However, due to her poor health and the fact that her parents later took her to live in a big city, she didn't have many opportunities to spend time with him, except when she was still a little girl living in Okumizome.

Even when a group of little girls came to the shrine to play house, she, due to her poor health, couldn't even get the chance to be a mother or wife; eight out of ten times she was either a daughter or a husband.

As for Akira Higashino... he's an observer, not someone who plays house with little kids.

However, his younger sister, Amamiya Ei, has acted as his husband quite a few times. More often than not, she plays the role of his original sister, providing other little girls with ulterior motives with a sense of identity to play in the game.

It's worth mentioning that, perhaps because this isn't just the world background of a single anime, but rather a crossover world composed of multiple anime, the fates of many characters from the original story are incomplete, and some characters never even appeared.

In addition, there's Akira Higashino, who acts as a butterfly flapping its wings, stirring up the storyline.

All the pretty little girls in Okumizome loved to go to his shrine, which led to some sour grapes kids getting together. They couldn't beat him in a fight, weren't as handsome, and didn't do as well academically. They couldn't compare to him no matter what, so they could only make sour, stubborn excuses like "only weak sissies play with girls, and real boys play with boys."

As a result, Kasugano Sora's brother, Kasugano Haruka, also had an awkward relationship with his sister. He was afraid that if he played with his sister every day, he would be ostracized by the boys' circle. As a result, they were not as close as in the original work. In addition, Kasugano Sora was often hospitalized later, and the two did not live together, which made their relationship even more distant.

Children need friends. As a girl, she can't play with boys, and her brother hangs out with his friends all the time and doesn't play with her.

This led to a certain white-haired little girl becoming more attached to the Kashii-hime Shrine, where she could play with other children. Since she lived nearby, she was a regular member of the shrine's little girl group before moving to the city.

“Yes.” Old Deng nodded.

Higashino Akira turned his foot and went in a different direction. "She's someone I know, so I'll go check on her."

At worst, we can take her to the Yunmeng Shrine to register her name and become a shrine maiden with Ying. That way, she won't be unable to make a living in the future.

As time goes on, the number of girls that Higashino Akira will officially appoint to his harem will only increase, and he won't be able to take care of every single one of them.

The trainee shrine maidens at Yunmeng Shrine all possess at least blue-level luck, which can bring him benefits after being officially appointed. If they are still willing to accept the job of a shrine maiden after graduation, which requires maintaining purity and serving the gods, and choose to stay and agree to become official shrine maidens, then Higashino Akira will definitely personally appoint them.

The treatment will definitely be good, but whether or not you will fall in love with him is anyone's guess; it all depends on fate.

Old Deng wasn't worried at all and quietly led the way.

After all, in his opinion, Dr. Kasugano's granddaughter was nothing but cute. He had heard that she couldn't even cook, and that she usually ate fast food. She never bought groceries when she went out, and mostly ate drinks and snacks.

In terms of cuteness, he has his daughter, Amamiya Ei; in terms of being generous and dignified, he has his daughter, Nagisa Ichiyo. No matter how you look at it, he is in an invincible position. In the small town of Okumizome, there is absolutely no possibility of him losing.

The two arrived at the Kasugano family's door and gently knocked, but received no response. They knocked intermittently, every now and then, several times, but no one answered.

Old Deng's expression changed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed. He was hoping to leave a good impression on his future son-in-law, win the votes in the next local election in Okumizome, and even move to Tokyo to climb the social ladder.

Could it be such a coincidence that something like this happened?

And this happened at a time like today, right in front of Akira Higashino!

"Get out of the way."
