I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

"Hehehe..." The little girl giggled happily.

After kissing An Tong, An Shu shifted on the sofa, found a comfortable position, and drifted off to sleep again.

In a daze, it seemed as if someone moved her onto the bed. She smelled the faint fragrance of the other person's body and didn't pay any attention.

……

"Hmm...we have a guest?" An Shu sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes.

"The Holy Emperor has arrived!" Sima Weizhi helped him straighten his clothes. "You slept all morning and missed the victory celebration. He's probably here to give out rewards!"

"Well... I haven't even eaten yet..." Scratching his head, he thought, "Does the Holy Emperor really need to come all the way here to give out rewards? He's probably here to ask me for the method to control Gastrea..."

"Mizuki-chan, have you bought the ring yet?"

"I bought it." The little girl took a box out of the drawer next to her.

"Is it a diamond ring?"

"Yes!" The little girl blushed.

"Well, forget it, she got off easy..." An Shu sighed. Anyway, it wasn't worth much to the wealthy and powerful Sima Heavy Industries.

"Give her a bargain?" Sima Weizhi sensed something was wrong. "Wait, Brother Anshu, what's the point of giving me this ring?"

“It’s for the Holy Emperor! But don’t misunderstand, it’s because she asked me…” An Shu explained.

"Wasn't it a gift for me?" But the little girl didn't listen and asked casually.

"Hmm..." An Shu already sensed something was wrong, but she could only bite the bullet and answer.

"..." Sima Weizhi loosened her clenched fist, pounced on him, and bit him again, "I hate Brother Anshu the most!"

……

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, for keeping you waiting!" In the living room, An Shu pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the girl.

"Hmph—what a big shot, daring to keep His Majesty the Holy Emperor waiting!" A man in formal attire standing behind the Holy Emperor and Tendou Kikunojo said sarcastically.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and An Shu asked, "Honoka Takuto?"

"Hmph!" The other party snorted coldly again, completely ignoring him.

An Shu smiled at him inexplicably and then ignored him. "Excuse me, Your Highness, may I ask what brings you here this time?"

"Mr. An Shu, due to your outstanding performance in this mission, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has exceptionally promoted your and Miss An Tong's IP ranking to 2000th place!"

"We were originally planning to raise your ranking to 1000, but because you were 'outmatched' by Hiruko Kagetane, causing him to escape, your ranking has been lowered. This mission can only be considered half completed. The bonus will be deposited into your police company's account shortly." Kikunojo Tendo spoke up from behind, emphasizing the words "outmatched."

"Yes, is there anything else?"

“Mr. Anshu… I would like to know your method for taming that Gastrea. I can trade something else for it,” the girl said.

Now, let's get to the main point!

An Shu smiled, glancing with amusement at Hoshino Takuto behind her, and said, "Okay!"

He took out the diamond ring. "This ring is specially made. It emits a strange magnetic field that allows Gastrea to understand what people are saying and to maintain a sense of intimacy with the wearer!"

The lower the Gastrea's rank, the stronger the sense of familiarity. As for whether that Gastrea will listen to you, I can't guarantee that.

As for how it was made, that's a trade secret, and I cannot disclose that information. It's not yet ready for mass production; there's only one available at the moment.

"Mr. Anshu, please give it to me! Whatever you want, as long as I have the means, I will grant it." The girl looked into his eyes sincerely, a hint of longing in her voice, if only her team could crack the secret...

An Shu's thoughts drifted elsewhere. Didn't that mean he could ask her to have sex with him?

He shook his head. "Forget it, the girl at home is still sulking!"

“I hope… you’ll get a different security team captain.” An Shu smiled, fiddling with the ring on her hand.

"What?!" Takuto Howaki was shocked. Was this guy an idiot? Didn't he hear the Holy Emperor say that he could fulfill all his requests? He actually used that promise just to target me?

"Who should we replace?"

"It's your decision!"

"Huh?" The girl was taken aback, feeling something was off. She glanced at Kikunojo Tendo beside her, and saw him nod. "Can you tell me why?"

"I have a conflict with him, and I don't like him. Your Highness, isn't this deal a bad one?"

No, it's too good to be true! But isn't this going too far for Takuto Howaki?

She glanced at Kikunojo Tendo again, as if pleading, but saw him frantically giving her signals to agree. She hardened her heart and said, "Fine, Mr. Anshu! Lieutenant Takuto Howaki, you're fired. Report back to the Self-Defense Forces this afternoon!"

This ring is really important!

"Your Majesty, I, I..."

"Shut up! How dare you question His Majesty the Holy Emperor's decision?" Tendou Kikunojo interrupted him, afraid that his nonsense would soften the Holy Emperor's heart and cause a rift with Anshu.

The old man sighed inwardly. This girl was good in every way, except that she was too soft-hearted. Perhaps she wasn't a good candidate for a politician. It was a pity for her...

"I, I..." Takuto Howaki stopped speaking, but stared at Anshu with a venomous look in his eyes, wishing he could pierce a hole in him.

“Yes, Your Highness! Here you go.” An Shu handed over the ring. “I’m sure some of your graduate students have captured quite a few live Gastrea, right? You can use this ring to test whether my words are true or false.”

"Okay!" She took it and put it away carefully. She was already 80% convinced. After all, the headquarters of Sima Heavy Industries was located in Tokyo. Even if she lied to herself, the other party couldn't escape. She nodded to him and said, "Then we won't bother An Shu-jun any longer. Goodbye!"

As the head of the Tokyo ward, she has no shortage of work.

"I'll see you out." An Shu also got up and went to open the door first.

"You ruined my future! I won't let you get away with this! I absolutely won't!" Takuto Howaki said in a low, menacing voice as he passed by Anshu.

"If you survive this afternoon," An Shu retorted with a smirk.

With a flick of his sleeve, Bao Xiezhuo quickened his pace, preparing to return and devise a way to deal with An Shu.

After watching them all leave, An Shu picked up his phone and made a call, giving a few instructions to the police officers under his command.

Why did the Holy Emperor have to dismiss Howaki Takuto? Because if Howaki Takuto, as the captain of the opposing side's guard, died, it would cause too much of a stir!

Putting down her phone, An Shu turned around and looked at the closed bedroom door. She tapped her head in frustration. This girl was really angry this time; she had to apologize properly.

Well... with a flash, it disappeared from the spot.

……

###Chapter Twenty-Five: A Bloodbath Triggered by a Ring###

“What should I buy? A ring is definitely out of the question…” An Shu stroked her chin with her right hand and wandered aimlessly down the street.

"Brother Anshu!"

"Hmm? Oh, what a coincidence? Enju-chan, President, good morning!"

"It's still early? It's already noon! But you really worked hard yesterday!" Tendou Kisara smiled slightly, in a good mood, as the reward for the mission had just arrived in his account.

"Hehe, where are you all headed?"

"I'm going to pick up Enju from school and bring Rentaro some lunch. By the way, Anshu-kun, why are you alone today? Where are Hitomi and Miori-san?" Tendo Kisara weighed the plastic bag in his hand, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this guy a lolicon who couldn't be without lolis for even a quarter of an hour?

"Lunch..." An Shu rubbed her stomach, realizing she hadn't even had breakfast yet!

"Miori is angry, and Hitomi is keeping her company!" Thinking this, she slumped her head back down.

"Are you angry? What's wrong, Miori-san?" Tendo Kisara asked. Haven't the two always had a good relationship?

"Let's not ask anymore..." An Shu patted her head helplessly. She was really stupid to ask Sima Weizhi to buy her a ring to give to someone else. No one could remain calm, right?

"By the way, President, do you know what's the best gift to buy to win a girl's heart?"

"A gift?" Kisara Tendo was taken aback, but Enju Aihara chimed in, "Of course it's a ring! Rings are so romantic. That idiot Rentaro, I've hinted to him so many times that I'd give him a ring, but he never understood!"

An Shu and Tian Tong Musang's lips twitched. They thought, "He's definitely deliberately not understanding, isn't he?"

"What else is there besides the ring?"

"How about the necklace?" Tendo Kisara suggested.

"That's right!" An Shu clapped her hands. How come I didn't think of that! Have I really become stupid? No, it must be my imagination!

"Well..." An Shu squatted down and patted Lan Yuan Yanzhu's head, handing her a piece of candy. "Thank you both! I'll be going now!" After saying that, she turned her back on the two of them.

"An Shujun! The Holy Emperor will be holding a post-war debriefing at the Ministry of Defense tomorrow morning. Don't be absent!"

"understood!"

An Shu waved and ran around the corner.

There should be a jewelry store there, if I remember correctly.

Tendo Kisara shook his head, took Aihara Enju's small hand, and said, "Let's go. Rima-kun must be hungry."

……

"Is Sister Weizhi still angry?" On the big bed, An Tong sat in the little girl's lap, nuzzling her face.

"No way!" Sima Weizhi pouted and said something against her will.

"Really?" The sudden voice startled the two of them.

An Shu had knelt behind the two women without them noticing, and reached out to gently embrace them.

"Hmph..." With a soft snort, Sima Weizhi broke free from the embrace opposite her and stood up.

"Huh?" An Shu scratched his head and turned to the little girl, saying, "Tong-chan, I bought you a little bracelet!"

As he spoke, he took out a small box and handed it over.

The little girl took it, opened it, and glanced at it. "It's a diamond one! What about Miori-neechan's?"

"Mizuki-chan is so naughty, I'm only buying this for you!" Anshu said with a mischievous grin, watching the little girl's expression as she tried to tease her.

As expected, Sima Weizhi's expression changed. She stared at An Shu for a few seconds, bit her lip, raised her hand to rub her increasingly blurry eyes, but did not speak.

Then she got out of bed and was about to leave, as if she really meant it.

“Mizuki-chan, I…” An Shu was taken aback and hurriedly tried to explain, reaching out to pull her.

This isn't going according to plan! Shouldn't she be rushing over to bite me and then searching me? What's wrong with this girl today?

The girl ignored him, rubbed her eyes with one hand, shook him off with the other, went into the next room, and locked the door.

"Brother, you've really gone too far!" The little girl panicked, shoved the box back into his arms, and ran to the girl's room door, banging on it loudly, "Sister Miori! Sister Miori, open the door..."
