I became the emperor in the comic book series.

"Beast! You beast!"

Realizing what had happened, the gorilla M was filled with shock and anger. It chased after them frantically, feeling ashamed that it had been fooled by the two, and heartbroken by their shameless and coordinated drinking of the wine barrel like oxen chewing on peonies.

unwise!

I never imagined that the gods in this place would be not only spineless, but also so shameless!

I'm truly impressed by this group of old men!

By the time the sheep and bear, who had been thoroughly satiated, were caught, the two had already drunk almost half of one of the two barrels of wine. The sheep's once smooth and soft belly was now swollen, as if it were eight months pregnant.

The other barrel was two-thirds full and more. The black man, who had been beaten black and blue, was still looking longingly at the large wooden barrel that held the wine while hiccuping from the alcohol.

Putting those unpleasant things aside, the rest of the dinner was still very pleasant.

After all, we're all just local celebrities, without much formality or style. As long as we eat and drink well and the atmosphere is right, it's hard to stay angry.

Even the newly recruited subordinate gods who had just been forced to join Yunmeng felt relieved after drinking with them. They put their arms around the shoulders of their former colleagues who had threatened them or even beaten them, calling each other "brother" in a very affectionate manner.

.........

Meanwhile, far away in Tokyo, Akira Higashino was taking his child to school.

Wearing a primary school uniform, the adorable Snow Child was held in the arms of a strange older brother. Her little face was flushed, and she covered her face, extremely shy.

"Master Higashino, please put me down. I can walk by myself."

Passersby who saw the man carrying such an adorable child to school had their expressions soften, completely charmed by the sight.

A good mood for the whole day starts with seeing cute little kids.

"What do you mean, 'sir'? Use a different title."

Higashino Akira teases the adorable little snow girl.

Hearing this, the little girl blushed even more, her expression hesitant. "But, Mommy won't let me call you Daddy..."

"Just whisper it, don't tell her."

This little girl came to Tokyo with her mother after the New Year. Despite being a yokai, Mrs. Yuki-onna did not engage in any fighting or killing business. Instead, she successfully joined the Yunmeng Group with her painting skills, taking on some art work. After inspecting the school and finding the atmosphere quite good, she sent her daughter to the nearby Yunmeng Staff Affiliated Elementary School.

As for why Mrs. Yuki-onna's daughter ended up in Higashino Akira's hands, it wasn't because he and Yuki-onna had gotten together; he simply didn't like inheriting other people's game saves.

The main purpose was to go to the dormitory to spend a nice night with the blonde older sister who finally had some free time. When I woke up the next day and went out, I happened to run into this cute little girl downstairs. Since it was on the way, I just picked her up and took her away.

He's not a loli-obsessed person, but he really likes lolis.

If I have children in the future, and if one of them is a daughter, I plan to raise her to look like this.

Although Mrs. Yuki-onna is a bit sarcastic and sadistic, it is undeniable that she is a good mother and knows how to raise her daughter very well.

Akira Higashino was very envious.

He teased the naive and adorable Snow Child all the way, escorted her to the school gate as she blushed and nearly fainted, waved goodbye, and then left alone.

In the end, no matter how much they coaxed him, the little guy still insisted on listening to his mother and wouldn't call her "Dad," only willing to call her "Brother."

He doesn't need his sister.

There's another person at home who's temperamental with him and doesn't really want to talk to him.

Yunmeng Group, Art Department.

Under the guidance of her senior, Professor Eromanga, Mrs. Snow Woman, who was familiar with the operation and techniques of drawing with electronic devices, frowned, stopped drawing, and for some reason had a strange feeling.

"Is there some kind of problem?"

She also had white hair, but unlike the snow woman's icy blue-white, hers was milky white. The woman, whose stage name was Eromanga, wasn't a beginner at teaching others to draw. Seeing her stop, she asked her with concern.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"It's nothing."

After saying that, he picked up the digital pen again and started drawing on the small board on the table.

For a traditional, old-fashioned monster, this style of painting is a bit too novel and she can't quite adapt to it. In order to get out of the internship as soon as possible and earn a higher salary to provide a better life for her daughter, she has to work twice as hard.

After estimating the time, Professor Eromanga, who felt that the other person was probably worried about their daughter, comforted them with great understanding.

"Don't worry, Yunmeng has a great school atmosphere. My daughter also studies there. She has a gentle personality. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to fit in after transferring schools, but Shawu is even better than I expected and made new friends very quickly."

"Nothing will happen."

"If Xiaoxue doesn't integrate well into the school environment after starting school, I'll ask Shawu to take care of her. They're both good kids, and they might become good friends."

Upon hearing this, the snow woman's icy expression melted away, revealing a hint of gratitude. She parted her pink lips slightly and murmured her thanks, "Thank you."

Professor Eromanga readily accepted the offer and shared his experience with this fellow single mother.

"Sometimes, we should trust the children more."

"They might be even more capable than we think."

"So, as mothers, we also need to work twice as hard. We can't let our daughters down. We have to maintain our dignity as adults, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!"

Time passed by minute by minute.

The two illustrator wives took turns teaching and learning, and gradually got better at it. Since they were both mothers and illustrators, they quickly became familiar with each other, sharing their parenting experiences and going to the cafeteria together for lunch.

As for the daughters that the mothers talk about.

Yunmeng Elementary School, afternoon, physical education class.

The three little girls broke away from the main group and sought refuge in the shade.

Eriri Sawamura was quite troubled by the addition of an extra person to the duo who were originally hiding behind the teaching building to secretly read notebooks.

In that case, wouldn't the time she and Sagari Tsuyoshi spend honing their painting skills be greatly reduced?

However, seeing the child's face flushed red, unable to withstand the heat at all, panting heavily from the heat, and on the verge of heatstroke, she couldn't bring herself to send him away.

She couldn't even resist a moment of weakness, and after whispering with Sagiri, she nodded and took her new classmate's hand.

“Come with us.”

"Eh~?"

Snow Child, attending his first class at school, looked somewhat flustered and exclaimed, "Where...where are we going?"

“The library,” Eriri replied.

Sawu added, "There's air conditioning there, it's very cool."

"But...isn't it still during PE class?"

The little boy, Yuki-Douji, looked very conflicted.

Eriri, who was terrible at sports and a habitual skipper of PE class, waved her hand casually, "It's okay, don't worry. We've all asked for leave. As long as we don't run around and cause trouble or get reported, we can just come back before the end of class to line up and leave with everyone."

As she spoke, looking at the expression on the new classmate's face, Eriri conveniently offered her a step forward, "Classmate, we've told you all our secrets, you won't report us, will you?"

No way!

Upon hearing this, Xue Niang quickly shook her head.

But Eriri wasn't finished with her. "I don't believe it. It's only reliable if everyone becomes an accomplice. So, you'll have to skip class with us!"

Eriri didn't mention that the other person's physical condition was worse than hers and Sagari's, so as not to make the new classmate feel inferior.

They stared longingly at each other.

They coaxed and tricked the other person until they finally nodded.

Eriri finally revealed a cute smile, her two ponytails swaying, making her look just like a little sun.

At this moment, in Eriri's heart, she was like that heroic and loyal yakuza boss, taking the initiative to take care of her little sister.

Of course, because there were new friends around, and the other person was clearly a pure and good child, the two factory girls, for the first time ever, did not secretly hide in the library to read notebooks, but instead took out their textbooks to study.

I also gave some advice to a new student who looked much better after entering the library and feeling the cool air conditioning.

Seemingly afraid that she wouldn't understand the importance of learning, Eriri spoke with a serious expression.

"Let me tell you something. My mom told me that if I don't study hard, I'll end up marrying a womanizer named Higashino Akira who has a lot of girlfriends. So, Xiaoxue, you all have to study hard."

Upon hearing this familiar name, little Xue Tongzi looked bewildered and blinked adorably.

"what?"

.........

P.S.: Approximately 5,500 words. I need to make up for the missing update by about 3,500 words due to leave of absence.

Chapter 281 Fujiwara Chika's Visit

Another day of classes has come to an end.

Kaguya Shinomiya returned to the mansion, changed into her maid uniform, and while Akira Higashino was still away, the two girls chatted in their spare time.

"Hayasaka, am I really that unattractive?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Hayasaka, who had grown up with her since childhood, with a somewhat dejected expression. Hayasaka looked sickly and lacked confidence.

Upon hearing this, Hayasaka Ai's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't understand why Kaguya-sama would suddenly ask such a question, but she still remained calm and composed.

"That's not true. Lady Kaguya is a very charming person. She has exquisite features and outstanding abilities. How could she not be charming?"

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head. "It's not about abilities, I mean... about the area of ​​feminine charm."

Hayasaka Ai was a little embarrassed. She stammered for a while before quietly changing the subject, "Why would Kaguya-sama ask that?"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya said with a somewhat unwilling expression, "Look, Akira Higashino is a sentimental person, and I happen to be the daughter of his enemy, reduced to serving him as a maid. Yet he has always treated me with indifference, showing no sign of wanting to harm me at all."

The girl looked completely bewildered. "In this situation, shouldn't he be venting his anger on me, using all sorts of methods to humiliate me time and time again, in order to get revenge?"

Hayasaka Ai: "......"

No, Miss, what kind of inappropriate scene are you describing?

Try to read less notebooks in your spare time.

"Even Akira Higashino, who falls in love with every beautiful girl he sees, didn't make a move on me under such a privileged situation. Doesn't that just prove that I really lack feminine charm?"

Hayasaka Ai remained silent for a long time, unable to bring herself to tell Kaguya-sama that the way the events unfold in real life differs from how the story progresses in doujinshi.

Moreover, the heroine in that doujinshi, to be frank, is far superior to Kaguya-sama in terms of figure.

Comparing herself to the main character of the story is truly humiliating for Kaguya-sama.

If she were Higashino Akira, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to flirt with Kaguya either, since she had far too many other options.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the flat-chested, long-haired beauties with black hair who share the same style as Kaguya-sama; Akira Higashino has Yukinoshita by his side.

In this situation, it would be somewhat unrealistic for Lady Kaguya to not take the initiative and instead wait for her master to become lustful and humiliate her.

Hayasaka Ai silently complained in her heart, but her face remained calm and composed.

"Perhaps it's just that Master Higashino hasn't discovered what makes Lady Kaguya so adorable yet?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked sullen.

Being cute is too out of place for a girl her age. If possible, she would prefer to be more well-rounded and have no weaknesses.

I've been drinking so much milk and eating so much papaya, and I even secretly massage myself before bed every night, so why hasn't my penis gotten bigger?

The two chatted casually while doing their cleaning work.

Suddenly, the landline phone in the living room rang.

Hayasaka Ai's expression turned serious as she walked over to answer the phone. She then received a notification from the gatekeeper at the mansion's main gate that an acquaintance of theirs was visiting.

Upon hearing who the visitor was, Hayasaka Ai sighed even more helplessly.

With no other option, she let her hair down, quickly changed her hairstyle, and made a simple change to her appearance. She then hurried away from the mansion to the front gate and invited the guest, whom she couldn't easily refuse, inside.

"Why is it you?"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Kaguya Shinomiya paused for a moment, then spoke instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika, with her pink hair, smiled brightly and bounced around lively, "Sodayo! It's your best friend, the love detective Fujiwara Chika!"
