I became the emperor in the comic book series.

Although this person is also a fan of anime and manga, no one says that people who like anime and manga can't be bad people, right?

Moreover, he is the owner of a large conglomerate. Such a person might have many lovers in secret, and he is most skilled at using sweet words to deceive or buy the feelings of young girls.

She asked in a low voice, her eyes fixed on the window, but actually looking at the face of the person next to her through the blurry reflection in the car window mirror, not daring to turn around.

With a mental attribute of 30 points, Akira Higashino, who can already vaguely perceive the overly active surface emotions of ordinary people, can naturally sense the girl's tension.

However, instead of offering comfort, he stared at her!

While watching, he mischievously teased her, saying, "Go home."

The moment she heard that word, Ruri Gokou's heart leaped into her throat and began to pound wildly.

Chapter 106 is probably about someone who lacks maternal love.

Disappointment? Or disgust?

Ruri Gokou couldn't quite explain what emotions she was feeling. Her nature told her that at times like this, she should give this guy a good scolding, preferably with a sharp and sarcastic remark!

But the reality that she had no other choice made her unable to speak.

She knew very well that her family was already caught up in a terrible mess. She couldn't go with the flow, nor could she stay out of it. No matter what she chose, it would likely end in the destruction of her family.

The group of thugs who were targeting their home were the most unreliable. She had tried calling the police, but the Japanese police were just as unreliable. What followed was not a police inquiry, but a second warning from the thugs.

If what this person says is true, and he is genuinely willing to protect his family, then even if he wants to do something, she will find it difficult to say no.

Ruri Gokou couldn't push away her family's hope of survival.

On the bright side, if this person were a little more generous, he might be able to help her family improve their financial situation. But if he's not, this playboy might not care about a woman for long. Maybe after a while she'll be free and can go back to a normal life. It's not a big deal, right?

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she wrinkled her small, cute nose, feeling a strange soreness in her eyes. She stopped talking.

More than half an hour later, the vehicle drove into a mid-range residential area and slowly came to a stop.

Akira Higashino opened the car door and got out. Ruri Gokou followed silently behind with her head down, until they reached the door of a detached house next door and rang the doorbell.

Ding-dong-

Footsteps approached quickly from inside the house.

The door opened, revealing a lady whose eyes, though etched with wrinkles by the hardships of life, still hinted at the charm and elegance of her youth.

"Ruri-chan!"

The woman looked at the girl behind the young man at the door, gasped softly, snapped out of her daze, and quickly bowed to the man.

"You must be Mr. Higashino. My husband has always been grateful for your care."

The lady thanked him earnestly. Behind her, she heard thumping footsteps approaching from inside the house. Two little girls ran over on the wooden floor, hiding behind their mother and curiously watching the handsome young man outside the door.

mother!

Behind Higashino Akira, Gokou Ruri stared wide-eyed at everything that was happening before her eyes, and Hyuga and the others were also there!

But this is clearly not my home!

What are Mom and the others doing here?

"No need for formalities. Mr. Wugeng is an employee of the Yunmeng Group. He encountered an accident while working for the Yunmeng Group, and it is only right that Yunmeng takes care of him. He would rather be bribed than betray the company. We can't do anything too much to protect such an employee."

“It’s getting late. I’ve safely taken your daughter home. Madam, you should go back and take care of your family and get some rest. Don’t worry about Mr. Wugeng; I’ve already assigned someone to protect him.”

After finishing speaking, Higashino Akira turned around and looked at the dumbfounded girl, especially gazing at her flat chest. He smiled slightly, waved, and then turned and left.

Just kidding, he was an emperor after all, what hasn't he eaten?

Just a little brat.

How could he possibly think he would attack her?

In Akira Higashino's world, girls with small breasts are all lolis!

The vehicle restarted and slowly drove away.

The girl blushed as she belatedly realized she had been tricked again.

Especially that filthy thing's contemptuous smile before leaving—even though it's been a long time, every time she recalls it, she can't help but grit her teeth.

This person is so wicked!

If he hadn't run fast, Gokou Ruri wouldn't have been able to control his sealed forbidden power. If it had erupted, he would have been forced to tremble at the feet of the Fallen Saint Black Cat!

The girl's mind raced, trying to imagine someone being trampled under her feet.

In the living room, the two youngest daughters of the Wu family looked at their older sister, who was puffing up her cheeks and gritting her teeth, occasionally muttering strange things under her breath and then letting out a silly laugh. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong with Sister Liuli?"

The younger sister, Tamaki, asked in a low voice, and the second older sister, Hinata, nodded with a look of certainty, "You're in love!"

"Huh...?"

"That's what love is like. It makes people stupid, making them laugh and cry, happy one moment and feeling like they're dying the next. Tamaki is still young, just a first-grader. You'll understand when you're my age, like me, in sixth grade."

"oh…!"

"Hey! You two, stop talking nonsense!"

Interrupted from her climax of fantasy by her sister's words, Gokou Ruri snapped out of her reverie, her eyes widening as she frantically tried to stop her.

The wife watched her three daughters laughing and playing, their lively scene unfolding before her with a gentle smile. Once they had stopped playing and were tired, she asked her eldest daughter a question out of curiosity.

"Thanks to Ruri-chan, we were able to escape the crisis today and also received Mr. Higashino's help to move here and be protected."

"It's not really my doing; it's mainly because my dad has high moral standards, and the place where he works is also very humane."

The girl scratched her cheek a little shyly.

Seeing this, the lady smiled and did not refute her. "In Ruri-chan's opinion, what kind of person is Mr. Higashino?"

What kind of person is that?

Ruri Gokou pondered. He seemed to be quite mischievous and liked to play pranks. He also had a strong sense of responsibility and wouldn't abandon useless employees because of troublesome costs. Although he usually seemed a bit unapproachable and mature, he was very uninhibited when playing games.

The wife waited silently for her daughter's decision.

Then she heard that unexpected conclusion.

"She's probably someone who lacked maternal love."

After all, even when playing a game, who would casually call a girl younger than themselves, regardless of age or height, "Mom," especially to her face!

It's not like a comic convention where everyone is supposed to let loose. In private, you probably still can't bring yourself to say it, especially in front of someone of the opposite sex you've only met twice and aren't that close to.

He even shouted it so naturally!

Just how skilled is he at this?!

What an embarrassing guy. Is the African Star really that important to him?

She was only 16 years old herself, yet there was a girl in her early twenties standing next to her. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Beside her, the wife tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?"

I've considered countless answers, but this is the one I never thought of.

Looking at her daughter's flushed face, the wife felt a mix of emotions.

Chapter 107 After get off work, I found a beautiful JK girl.

That night, Higashino Akira originally planned to go home directly.

Upon receiving the letter, the vehicle immediately turned around and left Tokyo, heading towards Kanagawa Prefecture.

After waiting for so long, Mai Sakurajima is probably about to give up.

Perhaps the original male protagonist of "Blue Pig" doesn't exist in this anime world, or perhaps the timelines are different, and the two never met.

During the time that Higashino Akira arranged for someone to secretly monitor her, Sakurajima Mai's loss of presence did not improve, until just now, when Luan Lu reported that the signal of Sakurajima Mai's phone had been lost.

Perhaps her phone was broken, or perhaps her condition was deteriorating and she was no longer able to charge it.

Arriving in Kanagawa Prefecture, led by Jun Luan, Higashino Akira arrived at the last known location of Sakurajima Mai's cell phone signal—a small community park. Searching around, he quickly found a girl huddled on a park bench, shivering.

Walking quickly over, Mai Sakurajima's face was pale, her previous composure gone, her face contorted in embarrassment and misery, her eyes tightly closed.

Hearing footsteps approaching, she weakly opened her eyes, her gaze slowly focusing as she looked at the person. Her lips moved slightly; having not eaten for nearly two days, her body, almost completely exhausted, finally lacked the strength to support her in uttering those stubborn words.

Akira Higashino went over and stood beside her.

"You're not going to make it."

The girl looked at him quietly, her pupils trembling slightly.

Clearly, she was also afraid of death.

What's more, he was starved to death, and he was in so much pain before he died.

After she dies, will she still exist in this world?

Will she be discovered as a corpse? Or will no one even see her corpse? Will her corpse, like all traces of Mai Sakurajima's existence, completely disappear?

"I can save you. In return, your life will belong to me from now on. How I use you is my right."

Akira Higashino crouched down, keeping his gaze level with hers. "If you agree, close your eyes."

The girl silently closed her eyes.

Higashino Akira smiled, took out a candy he had bought on the way from his pocket, put it in her mouth, and then picked her up and walked towards the car.

As he said, he has a moral bottom line, but not many.

He doesn't care about deep feelings, but pursues mutual consent. Although he won't use power or influence to coerce others, it doesn't mean he won't take advantage of their vulnerability and steal their precious life when they need it most.

He wasn't the one who caused Mai Sakurajima's tragic experience; he gave her the choice to live and didn't force her to agree, and that was enough.

As for Miss Mary and the Slit-Mouthed Woman?

Sorry, but they're not even human beings, so there's no need to talk to them about human rights.

Moreover, since these two sisters attacked him first, there's even less to say.

Even if it's a ghost, if it's like the Thousand Souls Huayan Self-Slaying Child who was a human in life and can maintain his rationality after death, without any malice or attack on him, then he can talk to the other party about treatment.

The former is labor reform, the latter is recruitment. Although both are mandatory, the treatment should be clearly distinguished.

On the train back to Tokyo, Mai Sakurajima swallowed the last mouthful of syrup and finally felt her body was not so weak and cold. Her stomach, which had been numb and devoid of sensation, only occasionally throbbed with pain, began to feel hungry again.

Although still weak and powerless, she truly felt that she had escaped the brink of death and been pulled back to the side of life.

This was the first time in her life that she had experienced hunger to the point of near death. She had originally thought that death was no big deal and that it would be better to leave quietly. But after experiencing the real life-or-death situation, she could no longer muster the courage to face death quietly.

Even though she had the strength to speak, she lacked the will to say a word to reject the person beside her.

So-called dignity is truly insignificant in the face of life and death.

Moreover, it's just that kind of thing.

Having been a child star in the entertainment industry since she was young, how many of those kinds of things has she seen? There are always people who lose something in order to gain something, whether they are proactive or passive. Although their goals are different, she is ultimately just an ordinary person.

The girl has come to terms with many things.

Silently, she gently touched the person's hand.

When Higashino Akira turned to look at her, her fingers had already retracted. "Want more?"

"Ah."

Another candy was peeled and stuffed into the girl's mouth.

“In the past few days, various information about you has been disappearing from the internet. To be honest, the fact that you can hold on for so long has exceeded my expectations.”

"Tell me about your experience?"

Higashino asked, and Mai Sakurajima fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Nothing special. Although I can't use my bank card, I still have some cash on me. If no one can see me, I can take things myself. I just need to calculate the price and pay. There's free tap water in the park, so I should be able to last for a while."

"Since no one can see you anyway, you're just not going to get the money if you're out of cash?"

Mai Sakurajima remained silent and did not continue speaking.

At first, I was definitely sticking to my bottom line and unwilling to do that kind of thing. But later, when I was almost too weak to do it, I must have thought about it. But at that point, even walking was difficult, so I didn't have the ability to do free purchases, let alone think about it.

Another candy melted into syrup in her mouth and was swallowed. Mai Sakurajima touched his hand again.

This time, Higashino Akatsuki shook her head and told her to wait until they got home for dinner, without giving her any more.

For someone on the verge of starvation like her, a piece or two of candy to keep her going is fine, but it's best not to give her too much candy at once, otherwise it might backfire.
