I became the emperor in the comic book series.

Higashino Akira responded and stepped aside.

Kawasaki Saki quickly slipped into the bedroom, and after a while, she came out carrying a pile of clothes, sheets, and blankets, and went into the bathroom.

Put everything into the washing machine, and wash the clothes by hand if it's inconvenient to use the washing machine.

Higashino Akira watched quietly as Kawasaki Saki busied herself with a series of chores. The girl was only wearing Higashino Akira's oversized shirt, which was just long enough to cover her hips and a little below. She wasn't wearing anything underneath, and the sleeves were rolled up halfway, revealing her pair of shapely, long, fair legs with a healthy, rosy glow.

She has a certain air about her, like a young wife or a newlywed.

喜歡。

Akira Higashino felt that this was the charm of Saki Kawasaki. At first glance, she seemed like a tough, aloof little hedgehog, but in reality, she was soft, gentle, and good at taking care of people. She valued her family and, once she felt a sense of belonging, she would keep her surroundings in perfect order, giving her a motherly feel. The more assertive you were, the more submissive and obedient she became. Sometimes she was even afraid of making you angry. If you pretended to be unhappy and didn't say anything, she would cry helplessly.

"Kawasaki."

Akira Higashino suddenly called out.

In the kitchen, Kawasaki Saki looked up in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"I think you look very attractive in this outfit."

He praised earnestly.

"Don't say weird things!" In the kitchen, Kawasaki Saki blushed slightly, a little shy. "I still have to cook, so you're not allowed to do it again!"

"Could you come over here for a second? I want to kiss you."

"Ugh... you really are something."

"Please, Sister Saki."

"Hey! Sister! Aren't you older than me?"

"Little Shashi's Mommy!"

"How did she suddenly become a mom again?!"

Because I like using loitering munitions.

In the end, the cunning Higashino Akira succeeded. Kawasaki Saki, unable to resist him any longer, turned off the stove, came out of the kitchen, stood beside him, blushed, and closed her eyes, saying, "Then hurry up..."

The girl's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly as she waited anxiously. Then, a faint warmth came from the base of her thighs, startling her so much that she opened her eyes wide. Her little face puffed out in anger as she reached out and lifted the idiot's head.

"No one would kiss there!"

"They actually..."

Saki Kawasaki was too embarrassed to say it aloud. A cool sensation ran through her thighs near her buttocks, making her extremely shy and causing her to stammer as she spoke.

"Who says I don't? I am!"

"I like it, I can kiss you whenever I want, what's it to you?"

Someone glanced at the naive little girl with disdain, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

Some people even like feet!

He just likes this perfect, youthful, and healthy plumpness, which is perfectly normal!

What's wrong with men liking to look at legs, buttocks, and breasts?

It's great, I love watching it!

This is how Akira Higashino's genetic code is written; he...

Finally, Kawasaki Saki, who was extremely annoyed, gave the idiot a chop to the head, left him with a "fool" and then disappeared into the kitchen with a glint in her eyes.

Sometimes girls are just like that because they have such a good temper; even when they're angry, it sounds like they're being coquettish.

For this one thing, we really have to thank the wonderful world of anime.

In the world of anime and manga, as long as you avoid toxic girls, yandere girls, sarcastic girls, and violent freaks, the probability of finding a girl who is a normal and easy-going person is very high.

“I will be going back to my hometown for a while, and I won’t be able to come back for about a month. If you have time, you can come here occasionally to clean up, since this will be our home from now on.”

Kawasaki Saki prepared dinner and brought the food to the living room. Upon hearing this, she nodded, but felt a strange sense of loss and emptiness, as if something was missing.

Then she realized that she had only known him for a little over a month, and their relationship had already developed to this point. She had even started to adapt her lifestyle to his presence.

The meal ended hastily, and the clothes that had been bought earlier had been washed and dried. Higashino Akira took the clothes he had bought for Miko and Shoko, and left with Kawasaki Saki by car.

Higashino Akira, who lived closer, arrived home first. After getting out of the car, he waved to her, watched her leave, and then turned and went inside.

A short while later, carrying a bag with only two items missing, and holding the cat, he came out of the house again.

Another car, which had been waiting for a long time, happened to drive up and stop at the entrance. The driver got out of the car, bowed respectfully, then stood up. After receiving a response, he slowly retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

Akira Higashino got into the driver's seat, put the kitten that Toyokawa Shoko had turned into and all the clothes he had bought for her in the back seat, and drove towards Ikebukuro, heading to the meeting place that Toyokawa Shoko had arranged with her friend in advance, a livehouse called Ring.

After parking the car in a nearby parking lot and waiting for a while, it was exactly midnight. Higashino Akira turned off the car and turned off the interior lights. In the pitch black, the sound of rustling clothes being put on came from the back of the car.

Updates will begin around 11:50 PM.

thank you all.

Then I will update more often every day, on the basis of 4,000 words a day? I will make up for the chapters that I haven't finished paying off due to the interest-laden bounty on the previous book.

Chapter Thirty: The Jazz Cat

Inside RiNG, Nagasaki Motoyo and Wakaba Mutsu sat facing each other.

Compared to Wakaba Mutsumi, who sat quietly and waited, Nagasaki Motoyo seemed a little impatient, frequently glancing towards the shop entrance.

Finally, after waiting for a long time and looking over countless times, she saw the girl she had always longed for. But before she could feel joy, she couldn't help but frown.

Mu also noticed Su Shi's unusual behavior, turned around and said softly, "Xiangzi is here."

Akira Higashino followed Shoko Toyokawa into the store. In order to maintain a close enough distance to prolong the time that Shoko could transform back into human form tonight, he could not stay too far away. He was only two or three body lengths away from Shoko and sat down at the table next to where she was meeting her friends. He waved to the waiter and ordered some snacks and drinks.

Aside from casually tossing two "gazing" items, he didn't actively approach or provoke Xiangzi's friends throughout the entire process.

To be honest, Akira Higashino is a little afraid of encountering extraordinary people.

I'm also afraid of lesbians in bands!

Ever since hearing about Xiangzi's past experiences and the situation of her teammates, Higashino Akira had this idea: they must be organizing a fan meeting for Xiao Ge Tan.

A rich young lady who plays Batman, and a group of fanatical fans who suspect she has some mental issues.

The two girls were quite aloof. The girl with green hair was more sassy, ​​while the girl with brown hair had a deep purple hue.

Pity.

These women in the band are too crazy; I don't really want to get involved.

Even if it's just out of respect for money, I might have some thoughts.

Judging from Xiangzi's family background, the girls who were able to become his classmates were not short of money. It would be even more meaningless for them to spend time and energy trying to win over a group of exceptionally beautiful girls.

As the saying goes, a person's state is only hunger and lust, or to put it more elegantly, survival and reproduction. Higashino Akira was neither hungry nor lustful, so he felt that he was now as still as water, like a calm and clear-headed sage.

It's all wisdom!

On the other side, Nagasaki Motoyo stood up, trying to ignore the man who seemed to be close to Shoko, and forced a smile as Shoko approached.

"Xiao Xiang, you're here. It's so good to see you're alright."

Toyokawa Shoko knew that the more she entangled with Su Shi and the nicer she was to her, the more she would pester her. So she simply put on a cold expression and ignored her, sitting down to the side and looking at Xiao Mu.

"I already told you I'm fine, I've just been busy lately. Now that you've seen me, you can rest assured."

When Xiangzi spoke to Ruoye Mutsu, his expression and tone inevitably softened considerably.

After all, Mu was like her other half, like a younger sister. Even her grandfather and father hadn't realized she was missing and thought she was living on the other side. They sensed something was wrong and worriedly searched for her.

Only Toyokawa Shoko, who had been wandering in fear and confusion for several days after turning into a cat, knew how desperate the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world was. So when she realized that no one had noticed anything wrong with the disappearance of Toyokawa Shoko, except for Mutsu, who was thinking of her and searching for her, she felt a great sense of redemption.

Upon hearing this, Ruoye Mu looked closely at Xiangzi's appearance. After a while, once she was sure there were no signs of injury on her body, she nodded in relief.

"Then hurry home. It's already very late. If we go back any later, Xiao Mu will definitely get a lecture from her family."

I don't know when I'll see Xiao Mu again, or if I still have any hope of breaking the curse on me.

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath, hugged Muku tightly, and then advised her not to linger outside so late at night.

If Ye Mu did not insist on staying, she would grab her small bag and prepare to leave.

Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been ignored the whole time, got anxious. Fearing that Shoko would leave as soon as Mutsu left, she quickly reached out and grabbed Mutsu's hand to keep her there.

So many things she wanted to say to Xiangzi were crammed into her mind, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. Seeing Xiangzi's furrowed brows, Nagasaki Suze was getting anxious. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the man who had come in with Xiangzi earlier, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

"Xiao Xiang, who is that person? Did you all come together?"

She lowered her voice, trying to avoid being overheard, and attempted to express her worries, hoping to make Xiao Mu think in the same direction.

"He's just a friend. I was just asking him for a ride since the tram has already stopped running!"

Toyokawa Shoko was getting a little impatient with Nagasaki Motoyo. It wasn't that she disliked her, but Motoyo was just too persistent.

With time running out and the task heavy, unlike before when she was in bed leaning against that person, this time she was so far away, and she didn't know when she would turn back into a kitten.

If I were to actually do this, wouldn't I drag Xiao Mu and the others into it? I might end up as research material myself.

Su Shi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time, "Xiao Xiang, actually I asked Mu to invite you out... I was very worried about you. Who was that person who used your account before? Are you really okay?"

As she spoke, Nagasaki Motoyo glanced at the man sitting so close at the next table, as if he were monitoring him closely and he might suddenly attack at any moment.

And what is Akira Higashino, the bad guy in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes, doing?

He is feeding the cat.

This world is so strange. When a human turns into a cat, the cat doesn't look like a cat at all, and doesn't have any cat-like qualities. But a little girl who is clearly human gives people the feeling of being a cat.

After the waiter brought over the snacks and drinks he ordered, the little girl with white hair and heterochromatic eyes who had been playing guitar in the store walked over and stared longingly at Akira Higashino's matcha parfait.

Higashino Akira found it amusing. Since he wasn't hungry, he scooped up a spoonful and handed it to her. And the little girl actually dared to eat it.

Even during feeding, Higashino Akira would gently scratch her chin or pat her little head, and she didn't refuse. She even seemed to enjoy it, squinting her eyes and sitting down next to Higashino Akira with her legs dangling on the edge of the chair.

He was determined to finish, completely different from Xiangzi who liked to breathe on his skin.

It's practically a jazzy mandarin cat!

I want to raise one!

It's a bit of a pity that she looks too young to be picked up and taken home.

Born at the wrong time; it's all fate.

Higashino sighed.

At the next table, the communication between the girls who were considered geniuses continued, and Akira Higashino had no intention of eavesdropping at all.

Shoko Toyokawa frowned and emphasized again, "I'm fine! If that's all the problem, then I'll be going now."

After saying that, Toyokawa Shoko turned around and prepared to leave.

Su Shi quickly grabbed her with her other hand, "Wait! Xiao Xiang... Actually, everyone misses you. Li Xi's new song is great, and Deng's lyrics are also... If Xiao Xiang could come back, CRYCHIC would definitely—"

"That's enough!" Toyokawa Shoko suddenly raised her voice and flung Nagasaki Motoyo's hand away.

Chapter Thirty-One: Do I Have to Kneel Too?

At the next table, Akira Higashino was startled by Shoko Toyokawa's sudden outburst, and frowned as he turned to stare at the group.

This was the first time he had ever seen Xiangzi lose control of his emotions to this extent.

He had always thought Xiangzi was quite gentle and sweet. Although she seemed a bit arrogant and aloof, it was just a facade of vulnerability. In reality, even in that situation, she would just hold his hand to prevent him from going any further and then cry for a bit.

I never expected her to be so tough.

The other people in the shop also turned their attention to this place because of the sudden commotion.

Seeing this, Xiangzi bowed slightly to all four directions in apology, then looked at the girl he still couldn't let go of, lowered his voice, and said coldly, "Su Shi, don't you understand yet? CRYCHIC is over!"

"We can never go back to the way things were!"

“I’m no longer the Toyokawa Shoko I used to be, so stop using your ‘worries’ to coerce me.”

"You have no idea what I've been through, and I don't have time to play house with you guys anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shi's eyes reddened, and she wanted to explain, "No... I just..."
