I became the emperor in the comic book series.

He glanced down at the little fox beside him, who tilted its head at him, clearly not understanding his meaning. It had no idea how to read its boss's eyes.

Forget it.

Akira Higashino put away his wallet and took out a work badge, pinning it to his chest.

"I am the director of this zoo."

"Would the zoo director like to buy deer crackers to feed the fawns?"

The woman tilted her head and asked with some confusion.

Higashino Akira calmly looked at her and said, "Theoretically, you, who live in the park, have no right to charge me money."

"Ah?"

"Also, you're not a native deer of our zoo, are you? You just randomly come here to freeload. Do you have any official status?"

"Ah?"

The girl's forehead was damp with sweat, and her expression showed obvious panic.

"Recently, due to some special circumstances, there have been rumors circulating outside that this zoo can turn young girls into small animals, causing visitor numbers to plummet. The zoo was already on the verge of collapse. Is this really a good idea?"

The girl turned away guiltily, trying to escape, but Higashino Akira grabbed her antlers and wouldn't let her go.

Dense footsteps echoed from every corner of the park as a large number of people disguised as temporary workers approached, carrying various weapons.

Why are you running?

"There was still some soup simmering in the pot, and I forgot to turn off the heat."

The dense infrared laser beams were projected onto the girl, especially when she was aimed at by the cold, hard crossbow, which terrified her so much that she lay on the ground like a fawn.

It does indeed look like a deer.

At least in most people's eyes, this girl looks like a deer.

Higashino Akira released his grip. "I'm not some kind of demon. When you did those things before, this zoo wasn't mine yet, so I won't pursue it. But please don't give out these kinds of blessings that can cause mutations anymore, okay?"

The girl nodded frantically.

"You've been living off my zoo for so long, you don't need to compensate me, but it's reasonable for you to officially join the company."

Nod.

Seeing this, Higashino Akira patted her on the head.

'Imperial decree!'

P.S.: I'm having some writer's block. I'm still writing the next chapter, so you guys can read it tomorrow morning without having to stay up all night. I've been feeling really unwell lately, and my body feels groggy. I figured something wasn't right, so I took some vitamins, and I felt much better right away. I'll start getting back into the swing of things tomorrow and try to write more chapters to pay off my writing debt.

Chapter 90 can be seen very clearly

[Name: Kanoko]

[Qualification: Gold]

[Cleric: Deer God]

[As the emperor, please quickly bestow titles upon a civilized subordinate deity. For each subordinate deity you possess, your reward attribute value will increase by 5, and your daily Qi will increase by 5000 (in progress)]

The qualifications are quite good.

The name is a bit strange.

Akira Higashino then asked Kanoko about her abilities, and shook his head in disappointment.

Chicken ribs.

Theoretically, she's quite capable, but in reality, she's just so-so.

If we're really going to be serious, she's not as useful as the little fox. Her intelligence is a major flaw. She's fine as a pet, but if you were to use her as a subordinate, it would probably be quite a nuisance.

I also put the woven garment on the little fox, since her task was now complete.

[Name: Hui]

[Qualifications: [Unclear text - possibly related to academic qualifications]

[Cleric Role: Evil-Slaying Child]

[As the emperor, please quickly bestow titles upon a civilized subordinate deity. For each subordinate deity you possess, your reward attribute value will increase by 3, and your daily Qi will increase by 3000 (in progress)]

That's why I didn't want to bestow a title upon her. Once she was put into the official system, she would be subjected to the inhumane killing of a child, and the fox spirit that the mountain god had given her would be gone, and she would become an ordinary female spirit again.

Looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, who had only reached the A level of the Emission Realm even after receiving a conferment of her aptitude and advancing one level, Higashino Akira shook his head regretfully.

The ideal of raising fox spirits still has a long way to go.

The total number of subjects has now exceeded six thousand, which means that half of the six opportunities to be conferred as gods have already been used. It is really hard to find a spirit with sufficient aptitude, good ability, and some intelligence. As for those white and green aptitude wandering souls that are everywhere but have no ability, no mechanism, and no brain, conferring them as gods would be a complete waste.

Those whose qualifications don't even reach the blue level after being conferred titles have no value even for mass production.

After pinching Kanoko's cheek and instructing E to cooperate with the actions of the others, Higashino Akira, feeling somewhat bored, prepared to leave Hino Zoo.

Along the way, a girl who had been searching for a long time without finding anyone looked troubled until she saw the figure of a young man and quickly walked over.

Bunny girl.

Doesn't she feel ashamed to dress like that in broad daylight?

Out of the corner of his eye, Higashino Akira caught sight of the figure that had entered his field of vision. He had a vague sense of déjà vu, probably because he had seen an anime related to her before. However, since more than 20 years had passed since the time travel, his memory was inevitably blurry, and he couldn't quite remember it for the moment.

On the surface, he remained calm and walked towards the zoo gate.

Seeing that he couldn't see her either, the girl felt a little conflicted. She moved closer, took two steps ahead of him, and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Hello, can you see?"

It's blocking the road and obstructing the view a bit.

'Observe the aura!'

[Name: Mai Sakurajima]

[Air-assisted aircraft]

[Age: 18]

I'm a bit overwhelmed by this question; I thought I'd encountered some urban legend or a female ghost.

In the end, I was all alone. How boring.

He remembered now, that name. People live for Mai-senpai, that Sakurajima Mai, right? He had seen her work on TV a few years ago, but Higashino Akira never cared about the actors' real names when watching TV, so he didn't pay much attention to this at the time.

He pressed down her small, white hand that was waving in front of his eyes and took it in his own. Higashino Akira met her gaze and looked at the girl's slightly widened eyes and somewhat surprised expression.

He nodded. "I can see it very clearly."

"How erotic."

Upon hearing this, the girl blushed slightly and looked away.

"I am not lustful!"

Akira Higashino smiled slightly. "I meant clothes."

Mai Sakurajima subtly moved aside, freeing her hand from his grasp. She crossed her arms to cover the part of her chest not covered by the uniform, looking at him with a hint of disdain.

"Hey, where are you looking... Even if it's clothes, staring at them like that is very rude."

"I think that at times like this, you should show it off confidently and let your charm attract the attention of your fans, making them fall into a burning desire. That's the demeanor of a qualified idol."

"Of course I know!"

The girl withdrew her disdainful gaze, lowered her eyes, and sighed as if troubled, "Fans like you are really a headache."

"After all, it's rare to see a cute-looking big star wearing a sexy bunny girl outfit swaying around me in real life."

Shaking?

Mai Sakurajima was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and her face turned bright red. This guy was definitely looking at her breasts!

She slowed her pace, deciding not to continue walking beside him.

She had initially only noticed that she was gradually losing her presence and no longer being noticed by others. Later, the situation worsened until she was ignored by everyone, literally invisible. In order to explore the extent of this phenomenon, she put on this conspicuous outfit and traveled here. She had assumed that no one could see her here either, but she didn't expect there would be an exception.

Mai Sakurajima wasn't sure if he was an exception or if she had already reached the edge of the 'ignore Mai Sakurajima' circle, as the effect of her disappearing presence hadn't completely covered this area yet.

Whether it's the former or the latter, it's time for her trip to come to an end.

"Well then, goodbye."

"I have a piece of advice for you: you'd better forget what you saw today, and also, absolutely do not get involved with me."

“Ms. Sakurajima.” Akira Higashino looked at her.

If you understand, say "yes".

"What I meant to say is, you skipped the fare, didn't you?" He grinned mischievously, took out his work ID from his pocket, waved it in front of her, and said something that made the cute girl blush.

"This zoo has been closed for the past few days because it is working on internal issues, which is why there are so few visitors and even very few staff members."

The girl, who had already turned around and was about to part ways with this guy, suddenly stopped in her tracks, her face turning red to the roots of her ears.

Although she couldn't even sell tickets because no one else could see her, being caught red-handed doing something like fare evasion was still incredibly embarrassing.

She didn't doubt the truthfulness of what the man said. After all, it wasn't her first time visiting this zoo. Last time, it was quite crowded, so the sudden quietness this time was a bit strange to her. Now she could explain it.

Are you a staff member here?

"I own this zoo."

Mai Sakurajima blushed and bowed slightly to apologize, "I understand, I'm very sorry, I will pay for the ticket."

"It's not that I'm short of money, and it's also our responsibility to let outsiders in during the shutdown and rectification period. But if I could add Mai Sakurajima as a friend, I think I would be in a good mood all day."

The girl blushed and silently handed him her phone, adding him as a friend. She then proactively asked, "Want to take a picture together?"

"Please do this."

Akira Higashino immediately nodded in affirmation.

Seeing this, Mai Sakurajima silently put her phone away.

"I'd rather not, I feel like they might do weird things to me while looking at the photo."

"Something strange?"

The man looked puzzled, seemingly oblivious, but his mischievous prank only made the girl feel even more ashamed, and she quickly ran out of the zoo gate to escape.

"Fool!"

I'm not going to care about you anymore!

Behind him, Higashino Akira chuckled softly, not going up to bother him any further.

She is indeed quite cute.

Whether it's her as a person or the golden quality of her aura, it's all about her.

However, there's no need to rush into action.

If I remember correctly, in the original storyline, her disappearance from the public eye became increasingly severe, even to the point of affecting her life. She was unable to buy anything, her family forgot about her existence, and even search terms related to Mai Sakurajima's history on the internet would disappear.

The idea of ​​puberty syndrome gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

According to what Haruno relayed from the top psychic expert, the changes that occurred in Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita were not essentially due to external curses, but rather because the divine blessing from Kanoko served as a trigger, defining a general range of what would happen. What truly triggered the changes and determined what kind of creatures they would become was their own hearts.

It sounds quite similar to Mai Sakurajima's situation.

Therefore, based on experience.

Theoretically, he should also be able to solve the problem of Mai Sakurajima's disappearance of presence. Although it's not a complete solution, he can completely cover up the effect of the Akarin aura by using daily breath-relieving powder.

Chapter Ninety-One: Moshi Moshi, I've arrived at your doorstep!

Sitting in the car on the way back, Higashino Akira began to allocate the 8 points of free attribute value he had previously conferred upon the two subordinate gods.

According to his speculation, 10 o'clock is the limit for ordinary humans.

Breaking through this threshold unlocks the realm of the extraordinary. His previous breakthrough of ten points in his mental attribute granted him a fuzzy psionic vision, allowing him to see spirits and ghosts when concentrating. While not as clear as Xiao Yexiao's Yin-Yang Eyes, this was a secondary ability following the mental attribute breakthrough, possessing considerable potential for further growth. Furthermore, he could actively perceive and manipulate his own energy folds...

Having tasted the benefits once, Higashino Akira plans to invest all of the attribute value from the Golden Qi Knock Mu Drum into his physique, and see what changes will occur after his physique breaks through ten points.
