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

The Holy Emperor did not respond to her words; no one present was a fool!

Looking at An Shu again, his gaze was complicated. "An Shu-kun, did you hire someone to kill Lieutenant Takuto Howaki?"

Although I hate Takuto Howaki's arrogance and domineering attitude, he is, after all, a living, breathing person!

“Your Highness, I have never had any dealings with Lieutenant Takuto Howaki before! I’ve never even met him! He only recently joined your guard! What reason would I have to kill him? I’m not that kind of person. You can ask my assistant, Akito, if you don’t believe me.” Anshu also narrowed his eyes, and the slight upturn of his lips indicated that he was in a good mood.

The Holy Emperor was speechless, and silence fell over the room once again.

"Your Highness, is there something you need for me to stay?" This time, it was Tendou Kisara who broke the silence. It seemed that the Holy Emperor was looking for Anshu.

"Huh? Ah!" The Emperor on the screen was taken aback, glancing at his silent aide. "It's Mr. Kikunojo who wants to see you."

"When you've had your fun, come back with Rentaro!" The old man said calmly before anyone could react.

"Hmph!" The girl with long, straight black hair was even more audacious, letting out a cold snort, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave now!" She turned and left without hesitation.

Bang... another door slammed shut, followed by a third silence.

And so, the people in the conference room stared at each other blankly.

"Well... Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!" An Shu grabbed the little girl's hand and waved it away.

"Um... goodbye!" Everything that needed to be said has been said, so there's nothing more to discuss.

"goodbye!"

I didn't see Tendo Kisara when I got to the gate of the Ministry of Defense; he must have left early.

"Onii-chan, what happened to Kisara-neechan just now?" The little girl, who was being held by Anshu, raised her head in confusion.

Sima Weizhi was also a little curious and looked at him as well.

“Kisara…” Although he already knew the plot, Anshu noticed something different and investigated the person again. “This is a long story…”

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Rentaro Wants to Sleep with His Brother###

"So...it's all Tendo Kazuhiro's fault?" the little girl asked, licking her ice cream. She was quite familiar with him, after all, he was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

“Indeed…” An Shu said to Sima Weizhi, who was walking beside her, while pulling the little girl who was also licking an ice cream.

"This matter involves everyone in Kisara's generation. If we investigate it thoroughly, the Tendo family line will be cut off..."

Therefore, when Kisara questioned him, Tendo Kikunojo remained silent, which led to the misunderstanding that he was also involved in Kisara's father's death, which was the reason for their discord.

Even so, the old man still cares a lot about his granddaughter. Didn't he come to our house a year ago and ask me to take care of Kisaragi and Rentaro?

"To be honest, if that old man didn't dislike the cursed child, he's actually quite pitiful."

After all, lolis are more important!

"Huh? Wait, don't move!" An Shu suddenly tensed up and called out to Sima Weizhi.

"W-What's wrong?" the little girl asked, startled.

chirp~

An Shu leaned over, kissed her, and licked the ice cream off her lips. "You! You can still eat ice cream somewhere else!"

"Um... Brother Anshu... There are so many people on the street..." The little girl's face was so red it was almost steaming. Although she was usually very bold, she was still shy when it came to actually taking action!

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the two of them. She quickly smeared some ice cream on her face, tilted her head up, and exclaimed, "Onii-chan!"

Ok……

If I were to say, "If you're not going to kiss me, get lost!" and then kick her, wouldn't that be a masterpiece?

Holy crap! How could I have such a strange thought? An Shu slapped herself.

He bent down and gently flicked her forehead. "You!"

Despite saying that, An Shu still leaned in and kissed the little girl.

"Hehehe~" The little girl chuckled foolishly, thinking she had gotten the better deal.

but……

"These three girls are quite pretty, but what's wrong with them? It's indecent!" a passerby said with disdain.

"Why do all the good girls go to lesbians?" A lone single passerby laments.

"..."

The three of them had been standing there for so long that they had already been noticed. Clearly, An Shu's outstanding appearance had once again caused misunderstandings!

"Yes! Sister Anshu!" The little girl covered her mouth and giggled.

"Yes, yes! Sister Anshu!" The little girl nodded vigorously.

An Shu's face darkened. She grabbed the little girl's baby face, squeezing it into a bun, and said, "What did you say? Huh?"

"Hahaha~" The little girl's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and tears were about to well up in her eyes.

……

"Hey, you dead fish face, I've come to see you! Are you happy?" An Shu kicked open the door, putting on the airs of a spoiled brat.

"Brother Anshu! This is a hospital room! Don't do this!" Sima Weizhi, pulling the little girl along, slapped him on the head. "Besides, Tong-chan will learn bad habits!"

"I'm not a child!" An Tong muttered.

"Excuse me, Nemami-kun! Are you feeling better?" Sima Miori apologized to Rentaro again.

"No, it's nothing. I've almost fully recovered." Rentaro paused for a moment, then shook his head. "But I still have to congratulate Anshu-kun and Xiaotong on reaching the 2000th position."

"An Shu-kun, Xiao Tong, Miss Miori, what brings you here?" Tendo Kisara also stood up from his chair.

"Tsk tsk tsk, President, you only eat this kind of food, Nemami-kun?" Without answering the other person, Anshu pointed to the remaining lunchbox on the table, which was dark and its contents were unknown.

"Of course! I made it by hand!" Tendo Kisara patted his chest, looking confident.

An Shu was taken aback and looked at Rentaro with sympathy, "Rima-kun is so lucky!" After all, Tendoki is the woman in the original work who can blow up the kitchen when she cooks!

Rentaro's lips twitched, but he didn't retort, which was rare. His eyes were filled with tears, and his face was full of grievance.

“Anshu-kun, you’ve come at the perfect time.” Tendo Kisara glanced at the clock on the wall. “Enju is about to get out of school, and I need to go pick her up. I’ll trouble you to stay here with Rima-kun for a while.”

“Okay!” An Shu nodded with a smile.

Watching Tendo Kisara leave, Anshu picked up the little girl, sat down in a chair, and stared intently at Rentaro without saying a word.

Rentaro felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at him, and sighed, "Sigh, Anshu-kun, if you were a girl, you would definitely be prettier than Kisara-nee!"

As he spoke, he picked up the water bottle next to him and took a sip.

"Huh?! Rentaro! I treat you like a brother, but all you ever think about is sleeping with me?" An Shu shouted.

"Cough cough cough... Pfft..." Rentaro choked on Anshu's words and hurriedly turned his head to spit the water in his mouth onto the ground.

He wiped his mouth, enduring the unfriendly gazes of Sima Weizhi and An Tong, and looked resentfully at the lolicon holding the little girl, "An Shu-jun..."

"I'm sorry, I only like Miori-chan and Hitomi-chan!"

"Cough!" Another heavy cough followed, and Rentaro felt that his lifespan had been shortened by at least half.

Feeling that he was about to die of depression if things continued like this, An Shu quickly changed the subject.

"Cough cough!" He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and tried to put on a serious expression, but the smile in his eyes and his cute appearance were hardly convincing.

"Ahem." Anshu coughed again, staring at Rentaro, and said, "Well... Rima-kun, seriously, why did you leave the Tendo family?"

"Ok?"

...There was a moment of silence.

"You should know about Kisara-nee's situation, right?"

"That incident five years ago?"

Five years ago? Sima Weizhi, standing behind An Shu, paused for a moment, as if remembering something, her eyes dimming slightly.

He lowered his head, only to feel his hand being held by another hand, which scratched his palm. He glanced at An Shu and noticed that the other person had secretly winked at him.

It's all in the past now... The little girl let out a soft breath, and a smile returned to her lips.

"Yes!" Rentaro sighed, seemingly with some regret. "A Gastrea sneaked in and entered the Tendo family. Kisara-nee's parents died in that accident, and there's also the issue of Kisara-nee and my health."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the air twice to show An Shu.

“I know all of this. Sima Heavy Industry was once one of the shareholders of the New Human Creation Project.”

“That makes sense.” Rentaro nodded. “But Anshu-kun, that Gastrea was originally in West Street, so why did it suddenly end up at the Tendo family’s house in the Tokyo area?”

About a year ago, Kisara accidentally discovered that her father was preparing to report the Tendo family's misdeeds at that time; the timing was quite coincidental.

"so what?"

"So Kisara-nee went to question my adoptive father, Tendo Kikunojo."

"That old man is keeping quiet, isn't he?"

"Correct!"

"And then you all think this is related to him?"

...The lack of a response can be considered an admission of guilt.

“Rima-kun, some things are not as simple as you think.”

To put it this way, about a year ago, around the time when Hitomi and I had just joined the company, Kikunojo Tendo came to my door specifically to ask me to help look after you two.

At that time, because of the cursed child, I had some conflicts with him. You know, he's always been very proud and stubborn.

"Is that so..." Rentaro lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

"I have a general understanding of what happened. Do you want to know?"

"If it were Kisara-nee, she would definitely refuse, right?" Rentaro shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Please tell me, Anshu-kun!"

"Tendou and..."

Click—the door opened in response.

"What an idiot! I forgot my bag, so I can't take the bus. All my money is in there..." Tendo Kisara walked in.

"Kisara-nee?" Rentaro was taken aback.
