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

"Chirp~"

"You two better behave at home!"

"Mmm! You're not a child anymore! No... Hitomi-chan is still a child..." The little girl obediently straightened his collar.

"I'm not a child either..." the little girl said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"Haha—" He patted her head to comfort her, then turned and waved, "Alright, I'm off!"

Bang—the sound of the door closing.

"Hitomi-chan..." The little girl squatted down, her eyes lighting up, "It's just the two of us left!"

"Hmm..." The little girl's voice was soft, almost inaudible, and she nodded with a blush on her face.

"Hehe..." The little girl smiled victoriously and pounced on her, hugging her tightly. "Since Brother Anshu still won't be with me... then I can only go to Tong-chan~"

"Well……"

……

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Rijka!" Anshu apologized when she arrived at the bus stop and found that the man was already waiting there.

"It's okay, I just arrived too, ah~ ha~" Rentaro said, lazily stretching his back.

"Why do you look so tired, Mr. Rima? Didn't you get enough rest?" An Shu asked, though she had a pretty good idea of ​​why.

How can I rest well when my lips are twitching? I angered that little girl in my family again last night, and half of the house is gone, and I don't even know why!

"Let's not talk about that. How did An Shujun sleep last night?"

"Great! Why are you asking this question, Rijma-kun? Did Enju-chan kick you out of bed last night?" Anshu winked at him maliciously.

With a deadpan expression, Rentaro's lips twitched even more violently. "Please, I'm begging you, just go die, okay?"

###Chapter 32 The Dizzy Little Girl Makes a Dazzling Debut###

('Tokyo Ward, a white European-style building in the center.')

"What a huge palace! Rich people really know how to have fun!"

"Yeah! No matter how many times you've seen it on TV, you're still blown away when you're actually there in person!" Rentaro straightened his collar. "But Anshu-kun, you're not qualified to say that, are you? You're backed by Sima Heavy Industries!"

“But my house isn’t that big, is it?” An Shu shrugged, eating a lollipop.

"Who knows what you're thinking? Your house isn't even half the size of my dilapidated shack." Rentaro just scoffed. Whose fault is that?

"A house that's too big always feels empty, especially since there are only three of us."

"That's true!" Rentaro nodded thoughtfully. "Hey, Anshu-kun! Is it really okay for you to go see the Holy Emperor like this? You should at least wear a suit! Hurry up and finish that lollipop in your mouth!"

"Oh well, it's alright! Let's go, let's go in!" An Shu waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned.

"Are you really alright?" Rentaro felt a little unwell.

……

"Mr. Anshu, Mr. Lijian, please wait a moment." The Holy Emperor, dressed in a white backless tuxedo, smiled and gestured to them, then, at the prompting of the staff, adjusted his top hat in front of the camera.

"I told you we were early!" An Shu sighed softly to Rentaro beside her.

Should we go home and check now? Maybe there'll be a good show going on... If that girl Miori could behave herself, the universe would probably explode!

"Hey! Hey!" That's His Highness the Holy Emperor! Please be serious and at least show him some respect!

"Hmm?" Sensing something, An Shu looked up at the window, where several tall buildings were blocking the view.

……

"Huh?" The blonde girl, who looked a little dazed while holding the little bicycle, suddenly paused, snapping back to reality. "We've been discovered?"

Her red eyes lit up, and she looked in a certain direction, then paused in surprise.

Nobody was there? The feeling of being watched had subsided, and she tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. Had she just felt like she was being watched? It must have been her imagination.

Too sensitive! After all, I just arrived, how could I be detected? And I don't look like a threat at all. It seems that acting during the day is not a good idea! But there's no time left.

Because of the delays on the road, my owner has asked the employer to postpone the trip by two days. I also need to pick up the equipment tonight and check the terrain on the road tomorrow. My schedule is quite full.

As she thought about it, she felt sleepy again, so she reached into her pocket and took out a can of caffeine.

……

"Have they arrived already?"

An Shu stroked her chin, thinking she was going to miss out on this little girl.

I vaguely remember that Rentaro met Tina two days before Qi Wu Xuanzong arrived, but the timing doesn't seem to match up.

Isn't Qi Wu Xuanzong coming today? Could it be that she's already planning to assassinate the Holy Emperor? No, that doesn't seem right based on her attire! She didn't even bring a gun!

"An Shu-kun? An Shu-kun?" Rentaro shook the somewhat dazed An Shu. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

An Shu put her hands back in her pockets, snapped out of her reverie, and gave Rentaro a mysterious smile. "No, it's alright!"

Bro! I remember your kindness! I'm planning to send you a little girl especially! Although I'd love to raise one myself...

However, if I were to raise one, my two pets at home would probably get furious. Raising a little girl is more enjoyable, since I can personally bathe her every day...

It's just too much trouble; you can easily raise a child who's gone astray! An Shu learned this the hard way!

"An Shu-kun, why? I have a bad feeling." Looking at An Shu's smiling face, Ren Taro felt inexplicably uneasy.

But seriously, his smile is really handsome! His face looks so cute and pinchable!

No! Pshaw! Rentaro Satomi, he's a man! You're a man too! Don't be gay, don't overthink it, you have a little girl at home waiting for you to support her!

He closed his eyes and quickly recited two lines of the Great Compassion Mantra to calm his mind.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! Anshu-kun, Rima-kun!" The Holy Emperor gently walked into them and bowed slightly to express his apology. "I'm sorry, but you may have come for nothing today! I only received the notice this morning that Qi Wu Xuanzong has delayed his arrival in Tokyo by two days. I haven't had a chance to explain to President Tendo Kisara yet."

The notice was only given this morning? Is it a show of force? No, that doesn't seem right! Emperor Qi Wuxuanzong, that arrogant tyrant, would never stoop to doing something so foolish.

Rentaro shook his head, looking at the girl in front of him. Her frail body seemed as if a gentle breeze could knock her over.

She clearly didn't have the imposing presence a leader should have; she was more like a girl next door, gentle and quiet. That's probably what the old man thought too.

To be honest, if it weren't for Kikunojo's support and management, she definitely wouldn't have been able to keep things in order, and the Tokyo area would probably have collapsed in no time.

"I see?" An Shu nodded slightly. The plot hadn't changed much. So, that confused little girl was here to survey the terrain today!

"I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing!" she apologized again.

“Your Highness, there’s no need for that!” Rentaro waved his hand. “Then we have nothing more to do today, so Anshu-kun and I will take our leave!”

"Excuse me, Mr. Anshu, could you stay for a while?"

“Me?” An Shu pointed to herself, somewhat surprised. “Okay, please wait for me here, Mr. Inner Room.”

"Ok!"

"This way, Mr. Anshu!" The Holy Emperor led the way and guided him to the conference room.

……

Gently setting down the teapot, the Holy Emperor gestured to An Shu, who was sitting opposite him, "Please enjoy, Mr. An Shu!"

"Huh? His Highness the Holy Emperor personally brewed this tea? I wonder how much I could make if I sold it?" An Shu didn't make a move, but just muttered to himself.

The girl was taken aback, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "An Shujun, don't joke around!"

"Well... Your Highness the Holy Emperor." An Shu didn't stand on ceremony, took a small sip, and put down her teacup. "You summoned me here because Emperor Qi Wu Xuanzong wanted to see me, right? He should also know that I have a method to control Gastrea, right?"

He paused for a moment, then lowered his head. For some reason, the Holy Emperor always felt a generation younger in front of An Shu. "Yes..."

"An Shujun, if Qi Wuxuanzong asks you for something, can you refuse him?" Knowing that her request was too unreasonable, she avoided his gaze.

“Your Highness, that’s why you’re not suited to be a good ruler!” An Shu sighed and took another sip of tea.

"Why do you say that?" the Holy Emperor asked, bowing his head.

What are your thoughts on my current actions?

"Hmm?" She looked up and glanced at An Shu, then said instinctively, "It's normal! She's very pretty!"

"My dear Holy Emperor!" He patted his crossed legs, "Is this what you call normal? And what's with the 'very beautiful' thing?"

"But, but..." She slipped up and blurted out what was on her mind, her face turning slightly red.

"Your Highness, please put yourself in my shoes. If you were Qi Wu Xuanzong, and you already knew the method, what would you do to me?"

After a brief moment of thought, she suddenly stood up and raised her voice, "An Shujun, I would never do that!"

"Your Highness!" The guard outside the door was startled and immediately pushed the door open to come in.

"No, it's nothing. I lost my composure. You can all leave now!"

"Yes, sir!" The guard closed the door.

"Excuse me, An Shujun."

He shook his head and gave a wry smile. "Well, that's why I'm on your side." After all, even the weapons he sold to her were cheaper than others, practically at cost price.

He finished the tea in his cup, gently turned it over, and put it back in its place. "Your Highness, rest assured! That ring is truly unique. Even if there were one, I wouldn't give it to someone as ugly as Qi Wu Xuanzong."

"Yes! I'll have to trouble you again the day after tomorrow, An Shujun!" The Holy Emperor blushed, clasped his hands in front of him, and bowed to the other party.

"That's alright! I'll take my leave now!"

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Two Annoying Girls

"What did you two talk about just now?"

Rentaro was a little curious; when they came out of the conference room, the Holy Emperor's face was flushed!

If reporters saw this, tomorrow's newspaper headlines would probably be all about this:

Shocking the entire nation! Tokyo Ward Chief Sei Tenshi was found in a room with a strange man! She emerged with a blush inexplicably on her face!
