I became the emperor in the comic book series.

She hummed sweetly twice and then reached out to hug his neck.

Higashino Akira glanced down at her dazed appearance, but didn't pay much attention. However, his nose twitched slightly, and a faint, familiar scent lingered around his nose as they got very close.

strangeness.

P.S.: First update

Chapter 119 Ying: She's so good!

"Master Higashino, the girl is fine. She has no fever or allergy symptoms, and her condition is stable."

"What about before?"

"It might be due to a weak constitution and too much staying up late. Just make sure she gets plenty of rest and takes it easy. If you're worried, I suggest taking her to a well-equipped, reputable hospital for a thorough check-up. The tools I have here are basic, so I can't investigate any possible causes more deeply."

Faced with her boss's question, the female doctor, unable to find anything wrong, gave a vague answer.

After saying that, she left on her own initiative, afraid that if she stayed, the boss would question her professional skills. She didn't want to give up such a well-paid job.

Behind him, Akira Higashino looked at the white-haired girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and fell into thought.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened and fixed on the other person's eyelids, which were trembling incessantly, clearly not a natural reaction, but rather an artificially manipulated one.

Combined with the earlier scene where she had faintly smelled a familiar but strange scent when she hugged his neck, and the scene of her lying on the bed without a blanket, her pretty face flushed, and her clothes slightly disheveled.

My brain suddenly jolted, and all the irrationalities that I had just overlooked instantly became clear.

He was so angry that he laughed.

So, she didn't hear the knocking because she was too focused on taking off?

Then, because there wasn't enough time, they could only pretend to be unconscious to cover up the truth?

No wonder she took the initiative to hug me!

She's a real darling!

He stepped forward and pinched the beautiful female pilot's fair and soft face hard. The painful touch made her unable to keep up the pretense any longer. She opened her eyes and looked at him pitifully.

"It hurts, Ming..."

"You deserve it."

Higashino Akira coldly and mercilessly reprimanded this audacious fool who had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

They have no manners, calling us by our real names right off the bat. Are we that close?

night…

Higashino Akira returned towards the shrine, followed by Kasugano Sora, who was dragging a suitcase.

After all, the lock on her door had been broken by Higashino Akira, and she was the only girl living in the house, so it was definitely not convenient for her to move back in so soon.

Kasugano Sora's face was red, not from shyness, but from being pinched.

Several times I tried to walk alongside him, but I was afraid and would be scolded, so I had to give up and follow him half a body length behind, step by step.

"You're going back to Okumizome alone, isn't Yu coming with you?"

Akira Higashino suddenly asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Sora didn't react in time and bumped her head directly into his back. She then gently tugged at his clothes and whispered an explanation, "He has a girlfriend in the city."

"I heard that your relatives only adopted You and don't plan to have you?"

The girl shook her head slightly. "I came back of my own accord."

After all, there is light here.

"Then you're really stupid."

The girl puffed out her cheeks slightly and poked his waist, "I'm not stupid!"

"Fine, let's go back then. How about we move to the shrine afterwards?"

To be honest, Higashino Akira still has a good impression of Kasugano Sora. It's one thing that he didn't like taking care of children when he was young and didn't play house with little girls much. In the past, they were separated and the physical distance between them was stretched, so they lost contact. But now that she has come back, he has to care about her.

Today's events served as a wake-up call for him.

Although it was a misunderstanding, if this girl, who has little ability to take care of herself, is left to fend for herself, she might actually die from overfeeding. Even if she does survive, she will most likely develop some incurable disease into her already weak and sickly body.

"Okay!" Kasugano Sora nodded happily and agreed immediately, afraid that he would change his mind.

He's one step closer to the light!

When did it begin, that I developed feelings for him?

It seems that when she was little, she was all alone. Her grandmother was afraid that she would be bored, so she took her to the Kana-Iki Shrine to play with other girls.

Those people are really annoying. All they do is make a racket, fawn over Ming, act cute, and can't stand anyone else.

What's the point of her coming? Nobody will pay any attention to her anyway.

She's just as stupid as Yu.

But... she was preparing to go home alone and not come back, and Ming, who was usually cold and quiet, actually took the initiative to call her over, chat with her, and ask her name.

Then, those annoying guys suddenly became enthusiastic, took the initiative to befriend her, and invited her to play with them, as if they really thought she didn't know what they were thinking?

Kasugano Sora doesn't care about them, but she can't forget the boy who took the initiative to pull her out of her lonely life and showed her care.

I befriended them only so that Ming wouldn't worry.

Kasugano Sora wants to hold onto the last bit of warmth left in her life!

The only lesson she learned from playing house so many times in her childhood was that you have to actively fight for a husband!

Knowing that Higashino Akira would be returning soon, the shrine staff, including Amamiya Akira, did not start their meal early.

As soon as Higashino Akira arrived, Amamiya Akira, who had been waiting for a while, came over and happily hugged him.

"Brother, dinner is ready, everyone is waiting for you."

"Wait a minute, Eiryu." Higashino Akira gently patted her head, then stepped aside to let Kasugano Sora's slender figure appear behind him. "Sora will also be living in the shrine from now on. Go and help her choose a room."

Dome?

Looking at the familiar milky-white hair, Tennyo Eirō recalled the image of her childhood friend, and her face instantly lit up with surprise. She stepped forward and took her hand.

"Long time no see, Qiong."

Seeing this, Kasugano Sora's expression softened, and she nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's been a long time, Eiryu."

If you were to ask who her best friend was when she was little, it would probably be Ying. She was genuinely kind and enthusiastic to everyone.

Moreover, she is Akira's younger sister. Because of this, Kasugano Sora also has a good impression of her, and they have a good relationship.

Seeing that Ying was still so close and warm towards her, Kasugano Sora was genuinely happy, but also felt a little guilty.

After all, she came for Ying's brother.

But it's okay, she'll definitely treat Ying well after she becomes Ying's sister-in-law!

Thinking this, the girl was pulled into the shrine by the enthusiastic Ying, full of anticipation for her future life.

.........

The next morning.

Having completely ended their trip to Okumizome, Akira Higashino planned to return to Tokyo. Although Miko Yotsuya and the others wanted to stay and play with Akira for a while longer, their spring break was only two weeks long, and they had already spent more than a week at Okumizome, so it was time for them to go back.

When it was time to say goodbye, Ying clung to her older brother, crying and not wanting to let go.

Higashino Akira could only coax her for a while before leaving with Miko and the others.

Behind her, Kasugano Sora, who had just moved into the shrine and lived there for a day, was being held by a tearful Akira. Her little face was dejected and her eyes were slightly red.

I thought she was empathizing with me.

Immediately, Tiannv Muying was deeply moved and realized that Qiong was indeed her good friend; she was truly kind!

P.S.: Second update

Chapter 120 Do I really have to go?

"Moshi moshi... I am Mary, and I have something to discuss with Miss Slit-Mouth."

In a secluded alley in Tokyo, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, trapped in her own isolation, sits motionless in a corner, hugging her knees as she listens to the voice coming from her cell phone.

Miss Mary, who appeared out of thin air, originally harbored some resentment towards the Slit-Mouthed Woman because she had gone to help her get revenge but ended up getting caught in the trap herself.

But when I actually saw her looking so miserable, I felt relieved.

She sighed softly and nudged the big, clumsy pig with her umbrella. "It's only been a short time since I last saw you, how did you change like this?"

"Never mind me, this Japan is too strange. It's completely different from the common sense I had when I was born. I want to go home."

The woman's voice, muffled and strained, was heartbreaking to listeners and brought tears to their eyes.

Mary could only laugh when she heard that. "You don't even have a home, you idiot!"

"Urban legend: Where is home?"

“If you really didn’t want to live, you wouldn’t be squatting here. If you want to die, go find a famous shrine, rush in, and spit at the gods there. They will guarantee you a peaceful death, and you won’t feel so bad.”

"It just so happens that this generation of Slit-Mouthed Woman is so useless. After you leave, it's good to quickly bring forth the next generation of Slit-Mouthed Woman."

The slit-mouthed woman's eyes were brimming with tears, her face full of grievance, "Even you bully me!"

"I'm just bullying you, because you're the most useless one." Miss Mary looked at this culprit and troublemaker with a face full of resentment, showing no mercy in her words.

"If you're not happy, then get up and hit me."

The Slit-Mouthed Woman, enraged, snapped, "You!"

"I?"

Miss Mary snorted coldly, "If you don't want to fight and aren't planning on ending things yourself, then show some spirit!"

"It's just one failure, right? Listen to me, I have a plan!"

“I’ve investigated that person. He’s indeed quite capable. Even a seasoned urban legend might be caught off guard if he went alone. But Mary isn’t a newcomer like you, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, who’s only been around for a month or two. With Mary’s connections, she can easily invite other urban legends to ambush that guy.”

"As long as we don't send them to their deaths one by one, we have a chance to win if we outnumber them!"

Upon hearing this, the Slit-Mouthed Woman finally perked up, raised her head, and met the gaze of the proud Miss Mary. After a moment, she hesitantly asked, "Who are they?"

"Hmph, I've already contacted the human-faced dog and Hanako. They're both veterans. Counting you and me, we're four urban legends."

Miss Mary snorted. "I had invited Hachiko, but she said he was too old for her. Yuki-onna didn't want to cause trouble. Sadako has been studying the internet lately, but it's alright. After all, he's just a human. The few of us are enough."

In fact, these were the very people who would almost never agree to Miss Mary's invitation. Although it wasn't voluntary, she had already been accepted into the ranks. They couldn't really gather an army of aliens to rebel, could they?

Otherwise, what if we actually win?

They only specifically invited the Slit-Mouthed Woman and a few others, and it was obvious that it all backfired.

Being an urban legend requires brains; you can't let yourself become a two-faced person who pleases no one.

Her life is now tied to that bastard. Even the urban legend that sustains her existence as Miss Mary has been incorporated into the Yunmeng Mythology. If he dies, not only will she be buried with him, but she will also lose the chance to be resurrected and give birth to the next Miss Mary.

It's one thing to not survive.

Even if she wins and survives, wouldn't everyone know that she messed up and was forcibly recruited?

Miss Mary can't afford to lose face like that.

Ideally, everyone would crash and burn, and all of them would be implicated, covering up the fact that she had been implicated beforehand, so that no one could laugh at anyone else!

Especially the Slit-Mouthed Woman, that complete idiot who deserves to be displayed in a museum, she's the culprit! She's the one who deserves the harshest condemnation!

That's right, Miss Mary still has no intention of letting the Slit-Mouthed Woman go.

This guy is pitiful, but also hateful!

If Miss Mary still felt a little guilty towards Hanako and the others, she was absolutely furious with the Slit-Mouthed Woman. She had even given the wrong information. What kind of perverted man was he? She had thought he was just a slightly more powerful psychic, but after she went to his door and got beaten up, she realized that he was clearly a living god!

To prevent the Slit-Mouthed Woman from noticing anything amiss, Miss Mary kept her thoughts completely hidden.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, she was energized by Miss Mary's words, since it did seem quite feasible!
