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

"Ah? Okay..."

……

"What is it, An Shu-kun?" Seeing his unusually serious expression, Tendoki seemed even more puzzled.

"Here you go." After she took the papers from her, An Shu continued, "These are some dark pieces of evidence against the Tian Tong family."

"An Shujun, I..." He gripped the paper in his hand tightly, not having had time to read it carefully, when he was startled by his words and wanted to refuse.

“I know! I know you want to investigate this yourself…” An Shu sighed, interrupting the girl in front of her. “But I have to leave. I feel that if I don’t help you before I go, I’ll have a knot in my heart, a very uncomfortable feeling.”

"Gone? Where to?"

"Perhaps for me, I may never see you and Rima again... Well... let's not talk about that, President. I know you're determined to avenge your parents, but I hope you can stay clear-headed amidst hatred... Ha..." He couldn't help but laugh at this point. Why did he feel like he was... what was that saying again? Oh well...

He coughed twice, maintaining a somewhat stiff expression, and continued, "President, I hope you can prioritize the overall situation. No matter what you want to do, Kikunojo Tendo cannot fall. At least for the next three years, the Holy Emperor does not yet have the ability to unify the overall situation. Take your time to look at the documents I gave you; everything is written in them."

He turned around, waved, and went inside first.

……

"Sister Mugeng, what did An Shujun just say to you?"

On the way back, Rentaro held the hands of the two little girls, patted Aihara Enju who was still somewhat hostile towards Tina, and turned to ask Tendo Kisara, who looked not very good.

"No, it's nothing..." He shook his head, then subconsciously clenched the documents in his pocket.

……

As for An Shu's family...

"Hitomi-chan! Come out here! You just betrayed me!" The girl, now dressed in the same pajamas as before, knocked on the bedroom door.

"No! Onii-chan! Come quick, Miori-neechan is trying to bully me again!"

……

Chapter 43: Shōma Tsuzawa###

Because he could no longer contact Ann Land, the cautious Emperor Qi Wu Xuanzong suspected that his collusion with the other party had been exposed. He hurriedly ended the meeting and went back to deal with the aftermath, which allowed An Shu and Ren Taro's mission to end ahead of schedule.

Where should we go for fun?

After strolling around the streets all morning and having lunch, An Shu and her two companions wandered aimlessly down the street.

"Well, I don't know either, but... Miori-chan, shouldn't you give Hitomi-chan back to me?" Anshu glanced at the little girl who was still holding the loli and hadn't put her down, and asked tentatively.

"Eh? No way!" The little girl turned her head away and continued to rub her face against the little girl's, while An Tong responded enthusiastically, reaching out to wrap her arms around her neck.

That's clearly my little sister! I want to hug her too! Give me back my little girl! Although, you're quite pleasing to the eye even like this...

"Huh? Aren't those Rima-kun and Tina-chan?" The little girl didn't look at An Shu's expression, but turned around with a smile and saw two familiar faces.

"Good afternoon! Rima-kun, Tina-chan!" The girl waved to the two approaching people.

The little girl, who was still a bit dazed, was instantly awakened by the voice. Seemingly startled, she quickly hid behind Rentaro, peeking out cautiously to observe him with wary eyes.

Clearly, it was the memory of that night that left a deep impression on her.

"Oh my god, am I that scary? Tina-chan, come here and let me hug you!"

"Ugh..." He quickly shrank back, not daring to even show his head this time.

"Hahaha—" An Shu was quite pleased to see the little girl get her comeuppance.

He stepped forward and greeted the two of them as well, "Where are you two headed, Rima-kun?"

Rentaro patted Tina's head to comfort her, but even so, she wouldn't come out. He shook his head helplessly. "We're just coming back from Dr. Muroto Sumire's. We took Tina for a check-up this morning."

"But speaking of An Shujun... the doctor told me she wants to see you."

"See me? Is it because of the candy?" She was a little surprised, but then she understood.

"Yes, it's the candy you gave Enju and Tina. Didn't you say last time that it could reduce the erosion rate? Sure enough, after eating it, Enju, whose erosion rate was fluctuating at 36%, stabilized at 21% when we checked last time. Even Tina has improved to some extent."

"There's no need to see me. This candy can't be mass-produced; the cost is almost a hundred times that of the same amount of inhibitors. Otherwise, I would have already sold it globally." She's not some little girl, so I won't see her!

As he spoke, he took out a few more candies and distributed them to everyone.

“That’s true…” Rentaro nodded thoughtfully, as expected.

"So where are you going now?" After eating a piece of candy and savoring its sweetness, An Shu asked casually.

"My senior brother is back, and I want to go see him."

"Your senior brother?" After a moment's thought, "Shōma Tsuzawa? The one with IP ranking 970?"

"Yes! Does An Shujun know Senior Brother Zhangmo?"

"Hmm... I don't know him yet, but we'll get to know him soon! Come on, Rima-kun, we'll go with you!"

"Huh? But..."

"Wait! Let's go!" Anshu said, tugging at Rentaro's sleeve, looking rather impatient. There was a cat-eared loli over there! Super cute! Let's go check it out!

Not long after they left, a blond young man wearing sunglasses approached. Looking at their retreating figures, especially An Shu, his eyes gleamed with intense desire. "Goddess..."

"Bro, what's wrong with you all alone again?" From the supermarket next door, a little girl with blond hair, carrying a bunch of snacks, came out and rolled her eyes at her brother's behavior.

"Yuzuki, I just saw a super pretty girl, and Rentaro too! Let's go to the Tendo Civilian Security Company tomorrow!" And maybe gather some information while we're at it! Hehehe...

"..."

She rolled her eyes again, sighed, and thought, "Let him be!" The blonde girl didn't want to complain about her brother anymore.

……

Is this it?

"That should be right, that's what the doctor said."

"Then knock on the door!"

"An Shujun, why do I feel like you're more anxious than I am? Are you that eager to see my senior brother?"

"Who wants to see him? I want to see his originator."

...speechless for a moment.

"An Shujun, you're definitely a lolicon, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you, Rentaro, I am definitely not a lolicon! I just prefer younger girls!" By the end, he had lost his confidence.

The other girls covered their mouths as they watched the two arguing.

Amidst the pushing and shoving, the doorbell rang. A young man in a white trench coat opened the door, looking somewhat surprised but mostly delighted to see the group of people outside. "The inner room!"

"Hey! Zhangmo-ge! You haven't changed at all! I might have to bother you today."

"That's no problem. And who are these ladies?" He smiled and nodded, looking at An Shu.

"I am male!"

"Oh? Sorry, sorry!" She quickly waved her hand, offering an apologetic smile. "May I ask who you are?"

"His name is An Shu. You should recognize this girl in the kimono, right? She is Sima Weizhi, the president of Sima Heavy Industries."

The one with bandages is An Tong, An Shujun's younger sister. And finally, this is Tina, Tina Sprant!

"Haha—please come in, please come in!"

The group filed in, and a soft voice came from upstairs, "Brother Zhangma, are we having guests?"

At the top of the stairs, a little girl wearing a tall hat that looked like a magician's came down, looking a bit strange at so many people.

"Yes, let me introduce you. This is my partner, Midori Fuse!" Akimaru Tsubasa nodded and greeted the little girl above.

……

Chapter 44 The Loli Wearing a Witch's Hat

"Why is Cui-chan wearing a hat? Doesn't she feel hot?"

Looking at Fushicui pouring tea for them, Anshu, sitting at the guest table, asked a question she already knew the answer to while holding the little girl.

"Huh? Hmm..."

Even though An Shu's voice was gentle, it still startled the other person, causing their small hand to tremble and almost drop the teacup.

"Hmm..." After hearing his words, she raised her hand, gripped the brim of her hat tightly, pulled it down, and whispered, "No...it's not hot..."

Huh? I thought this little girl wouldn't answer me!

It was somewhat unexpected, but of course, I was mostly happy.

"Midori!" Akimaro Nagasawa, who was talking to Rentaro in another corner of the room, noticed what was happening here. "Don't hide it from your companions!"

He nodded gently to her, the warm light in his eyes seeming more like a silent encouragement.

"Brother Zhangma..." He gripped the hat in his hand even tighter, hesitating for a long time. Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, he finally took it off.

"Huh?!"

All four exclaimed in surprise. Tina, who was closest to Busi, instinctively reached out and touched her still-moving ear.

"Ugh!" Startled again, she tensed up and dared not move.

"Excuse me!" The dazed little girl realized that what she was doing was really impolite.

"No...it's okay..." She blushed and lowered her head slightly.

An Tong also broke free from An Shu's embrace, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the cat ears on the other's head. "Cui-chan, can I hug you?"

"Eh? Hitomi-chan... If that's the case, of course you can... Ugh!"

"Hehehe~" Before she could finish speaking, the silver-haired loli rushed over, pounced on her and knocked her down on the sofa, gently rubbing her face against her head, her little hands reaching up to pinch her ears, "It's real!"

"Um……"

"So cute!" she exclaimed, rubbing her face even more enthusiastically.

Don't you hate me? I was stunned for a moment before I realized that she didn't seem disgusted at all. I carefully hugged her back, afraid that she would reject me.

However, she was clearly overthinking it.
