I became the emperor in the comic book series.

Higashino Akira almost laughed out loud, thinking, "This little girl, she clearly got lost on her own, didn't she?"

Yukinoshita, standing nearby, rolled her eyes at the wicked adult who was laughing with a wicked sense of humor. She then knelt down, gently hugged him, and quickly comforted him.

Chapter 161 Are you confident you can dress me in a kimono?

"Don't cry, don't cry, Sagiri-chan, it's okay. Mommy is lost, we'll go with you to find her, okay?"

"This older brother is very good at finding people, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find your mother."

Yang Nai gently coaxed her, seemingly quite fond of this little girl who looked to be no more than ten years old.

Unfortunately, the other party was completely clueless. He couldn't answer her mother's name or where she lived, leaving Yang Nai feeling helpless and even wondering if she should call the police.

As for Akira Higashino, he was surprised to discover that this little girl had a bond with him that was much heavier and thicker than that of the strangers.

Following that line with his mental energy, he was able to examine the scene. Although he couldn't recreate the scene or go through the past, he still had the basic ability to find the other party's home by following the line. In fact, he could even see a few nodes along the line.

The order is roughly: Shawu → probably her mother's woman → Yunmeng Group → himself.

Is her mother an employee of Yunmeng?

Over there, Yang Naike, who had already boasted, looked pitifully at her boyfriend, "Right?"

To appease the child, she even gave away the apple candy she originally used to lure her boyfriend. Fortunately, Sawu was quite easy to coax, unlike many naughty children who would never stop.

"Let's head outside first. There are too many people and too many eyes around here, it's hard to recognize people."

Higashino Akira picked up Kosagiri, took out his phone and took a picture of them together, then sent it to the work group.

"At the Chiba Fireworks Festival, I found a child. I asked if anyone in the group was attending the event and told the mother of the lost child that her daughter is in my hands. If she wants her child back, she should come to the hotel outside the night market to see me."

"Also, don't take screenshots and post them outside."

Not long after, he received a notification from his subordinate Ryunosuke.

"Someone took a screenshot!"

Write a 100-word self-criticism and send it to my office tomorrow.

Not long after, a large-breasted woman arrived at the location her supervisor had notified her of, looking anxious. Upon seeing her daughter, she rushed forward and hugged her tightly, repeatedly thanking her young boss.

Akira Higashino didn't make things too difficult for the single mother; he just told her to be more careful when taking her child out.

Instead, the blonde little girl following him around circled him twice, scrutinized him closely, and then gave him a soft snort.

"Since you are Professor Eromanga's new employer, tell me, how much money do you want to leave her and give her to me?"

You're trying to poach my famous illustrator right off the bat? How polite of you!

And this domineering CEO's statement, so matter-of-fact, is he serious?

Who are you?

"Since you're asking about strangers, I am none other than Yamada Fairy, the strongest beautiful young girl light novelist in history, the savior of the light novel industry, and a rising star who has enjoyed a bestseller record since her debut!"

"Oh, that guy who specializes in producing isekai toilet paper that has little to offer besides fanservice and ecchi content. I thought you were some gloomy, lewd old man, but it turns out you're a hentai loli."

I remember now, it's that troll who brazenly posted online before, trying to teach him how to make games.

As soon as Higashino finished speaking, Yamada Elf across from him blushed instantly, completely surprised that she would be seen that way by others.

"You bastard! Just you wait. Once my work is adapted into anime and games, I'll steal all the popularity and limelight from your 'Okumizome Story'! You'll regret your previous underestimation then!"

"Your company simply doesn't know how to make games. The storyline is so simplistic; it doesn't do justice to Eromanga's art style and technical skill!"

Higashino Akira wasn't angry at all, laughing like a tyrant forcibly marrying a woman. "Didn't I tell you? The Eromanga-sensei you mentioned has a lifetime contract with the Yunmeng Group. Even if I'm not good enough for her, she's still one of my people. If I don't agree, she won't cooperate with you. As for the game, let it be a hit. We're not just in the game business. At worst, I'll just buy the company that makes your game after you become famous, hehehe..."

"You...you...you...!!!"

Over there, the wife, blushing with embarrassment, quickly took her daughter's hand with one hand and pulled the young girl she had gotten along with quite well with the other, bidding her farewell and leaving, lest she have any more unpleasant thoughts because of her boss's words. After all, he was her benefactor, and it would be too impolite to have any wild and unspeakable scenarios in her mind.

As Xiao Shawu left with her mother, she turned back and waved goodbye earnestly to the two kind older brothers and sisters.

After they had walked away, Yukinoshita Haruno took his arm again. "Why don't you even spare the child? You almost made her cry. If you tease her like that, she'll remember you for the rest of her life."

“You don’t understand, it’s precisely because kids are fun to tease that it’s interesting.” Higashino Akira raised an eyebrow. “Besides, what’s wrong with kids? Heretics will always strike hard, no matter what!”

As the two were talking, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky not far away, followed by a burst of dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

"It's already this late, the performance has already started, it seems there's no time to get to the best viewing seats."

Under the cover of night, the colorful lights of the fireworks made her cheeks appear and disappear, revealing her delicate and cunning face.

"Yano."

"Ok?"

"You look so cute today."

"Ah?"

She turned around, ignoring the dazzling fireworks display in the night sky, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man, smiling brightly, "Wasn't Xiao Yang cute before?"

"Maybe she's even cuter tonight."

"Because of the clothes?"

"Because of you."

Yabai, Xiaoyang's thousand-layered tactics haven't been used up yet, and the progress of the conquest hasn't been much, but she's about to be conquested by Higashino-kun in the opposite direction!

A fire gradually rose in Yukino's heart.

"The fireworks display is still a long way off. Would you like to find a better viewpoint to watch it?"

She took out a room key from the small bag she carried with her money; it was a pre-booked room for the top-floor suite of the hotel behind her.

Xiaoyang's elaborate schemes always involve having all possible contingency plans in place, and never fighting an unprepared battle.

"It's getting a bit hot."

Night, the lights were off in the hotel's top-floor suite.

The room was occasionally illuminated by fireworks in the night sky outside the hotel.

"With a one-way mirror, you can't see inside when the outside light is better."

"How is it? Isn't the fireworks display beautiful from this angle?"

Yukino's cheeks were burning, a mixture of excitement and shyness from her first bold attempt, her pretty face flushed as if she were drunk.

"I don't want to watch, because there are people more beautiful than fireworks."

Higashino Akira's voice was slightly hoarse, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

Under his intense gaze, Yukinoshita felt as if she had been scalded, and looked away for a moment before turning back.

"I'm a little hot, but the kimono has so many layers, it would be a hassle to put it back on."

She blinked gently. "Are you confident you can help me put my kimono back on?"

Akira Higashino watched the fireworks with Yukinoshita Haruno by the window. When she got tired of standing, Akira carried her.

The traditional kimono and way of wearing it could not conceal her fiery passion, gentle and refined nature, and tender and affectionate heart.

My physical fitness is a bit lacking.

The fireworks display lasted for about forty minutes.

As it turned out, Miss Yang Nai promised to teach him to dance, but she only persisted for less than 30 minutes before getting so tired that she was drenched in sweat. She then started acting spoiled and refused to continue, even using the excuse that her mother was waiting for her to come home.

What a waste of the fine wine meant for the occasion! To pair with the wuniang liquid that Yang Nai brought, Higashino Akira had specially arranged for someone to expedite its delivery. In the end, the wuniang liquid was spilled all over the ground, and the wuniang liquid still didn't go down much.

Higashino Akira didn't insist. Not wanting her to go back alone when her legs were weak, he carried her on his back and headed towards the place where they had agreed to meet at Yukinoshita's house.

Seeing her daughter's flushed face, her hair damp with sweat and clinging to her cheeks, Xue's mother, being someone who had been through it all, could easily understand what had happened during Yang Nai's absence.

However, he couldn't say much in front of Higashino Akira, so in the end he could only give Haruno a serious look.

"It's getting late. If you don't have a place to stay nearby, Mr. Higashino, why don't you come and stay at the Yukinoshita Family Residence for the night? That way, we can show you some hospitality."

"Hmm... then, I shall respectfully comply."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Huh!?"

This crappy game, Christmas Party, even has a second stage of boss battles?

No way, I can't do it!

Yukinoshita Haruno, who has a low alcohol tolerance, frantically tried to object, but was suppressed by a single look from her stern mother.

In the end, he could only swallow the bitter pill alone with tears in his eyes.

Having too much health and a high kill threshold for your own boss isn't necessarily a good thing; it's simply impossible to damage it!

I want to resign.

At the Yukinoshita family home, Akira Higashino experienced firsthand what meticulous care truly meant.

Even Miss Yang felt jealous of her mother's favoritism and thoughtfulness. She felt a pang of jealousy, as if she had been adopted and this kid was her mother's real child.

During dinner, he would serve food and rice to his father, and after the meal, he would offer tea. His father would even chat with him about various developments and policies, as well as his views on the international situation. All he did was try to win his boyfriend back a little, and his father glared at him with disdain.

Jealousy needs no further explanation!

Let's fight!

Yukino Yukino is like a Valkyrie, high above everyone else.

Since it is located in the Yukino family's mansion, the Haruno family's architectural style is Japanese, with a lot of wooden structures, and the sound insulation is relatively weak.

While keeping quiet and suppressing the urge to moan, she continued to attack the boss. However, her fragile body was indeed not very durable, and before long she was subdued by Higashino Akira with one hand. She lay down in a dejected forward position, burying her face in the soft pillow, occasionally letting out a cute, suffocating sound.

In the middle of the night, Yang Nai couldn't hold on any longer under the snow. He raised the white flag and took a ten-minute break to rehydrate. Taking advantage of the moment, he sneaked out of his room, crawled into his mother's bedroom, and pulled a black and white kitten from his mother's fragrant bed. Then, he followed her and quietly slipped back to his own room.

Unbeknownst to her, her mother had opened her eyes behind her at some point, watching her departing figure with a complex expression. Her face, still as beautiful as ever, was flushed with a faint blush, filled with regret and blessings.

If possible, she hopes that at least one of the sisters, Yukino and Haruno, can live a normal life and experience love normally.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. She never expected such an accident to happen to her own daughter, disrupting all her plans.

The only saving grace amidst the misfortune was that the young man, aside from being somewhat promiscuous in matters of the heart, wasn't exactly a bad person or had any vices; he was a decent kid.

Her relationship with Haruno seems to be quite good.

She wasn't sure how long this harmonious relationship would last—a year, ten years, or a lifetime.

Young people these days are too fickle in their emotions; even lovers find it hard to stay together for long.

What Yang Nai wants to do is inherently difficult to achieve.

But she still gambled everything, betting all her resources on her old classmate who was capable enough to build such a large business from scratch.

Originally, I only planned to gamble by sacrificing Yukino, but I didn't expect Haruno to act first and ask questions later, directly getting involved herself.

As a mother, although she was not optimistic, all she could do in the end was to silently pray for her two daughters to have a way out.

The night continued; it was probably springtime, the climate was warming, and it was also the mating season for kittens.

The plaintive meows of the kitten continued intermittently throughout the night, only ceasing three or four hours before dawn.

The next morning, Xue's mother looked at her husband, who was fast asleep beside her, seemingly unaware of anything. After waking up, he ate and drank heartily without a care in the world before saying goodbye and leaving for work. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, a departure from her usual dignified demeanor.

.........

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't go to school in the morning; her mother had asked for leave for her. She slept until noon before waking up.

Lying in bed, she belatedly recalled what had happened last night. She pulled her sister's blanket up to cover half of her face, revealing ears that were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Sorry to get out of bed.

Moreover, I feel strange all over.

The young girl, experiencing sex for the first time, couldn't escape it in bed for long, as her physiological structure meant she wasn't very good at forcing herself to recycle her body fluids.

After coming out of the bathroom and toilet, the girl ate quietly, practiced for a while, and finally decided to return to school.

With the school cultural festival approaching, as the head of the Service Club, she also has to accompany the club members to rehearse their programs.

In the afternoon, in the Service Club, Yui Yui opened the door to the club activity room and saw the figure quietly reading, seemingly detached from the world. Her eyes lit up and she immediately ran over like an enthusiastic big dog.

"I heard you took the day off. I haven't seen you all morning. Are you alright, Xiaoxue?"

"I just felt a little unwell for a while, but I'm much better now, so I chose to go back to school. Don't worry."

"That's good." Yui Yui breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely happy for Yukino. Suddenly, she abruptly changed the subject, "By the way, Yukino looks a little weak today, but her complexion is better than usual, and her temperament is gentler too."

"That's great. If it's not too uncomfortable, I'd like to experience this kind of physical discomfort that makes you cuter."
