Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Mikami Hiroyu gave a wry smile, then gently took Yulis's arm.

"Everyone, it's almost time. Are you all ready?"

At this moment, Flora entered the room and announced in a somewhat broken but energetic tone.

PS: Please give me flowers, tips, or add this to your favorites, or vote with monthly tickets.

Chapter 3717 Inhuman People

Flora had said the banquet wouldn't be too large, but when she arrived, she found a huge number of guests in the palace hall. Those being entertained were all from the Unified Enterprises conglomerate, as well as political figures from Lezetania.

As the guests of honor at the banquet, Yulis and Yushin Hiroyu greeted different people one after another. Yushin Hiroyu was already used to these things, but after a while, he was still a little tired.

"Julis, those tycoons are actually quite good to your brother."

Under the gleaming chandeliers, in addition to the banquet guests, several waiters and ladies-in-waiting were present in the hall, providing drinks and light snacks. The cost of hosting such a banquet is incalculable.

Upon hearing what Yushin Hiroyu said, Yulis's gaze naturally followed her brother, Jobert.

Jobert remained at the center of the banquet, chatting amiably with several guests. In stark contrast to his casual daytime attire, he was now dressed in formal wear, appearing almost unrecognizable.

"My brother is very obedient to the Unified Enterprise Group. He has no political opinions and is not enthusiastic about his work. Where can you find such a good puppet? Therefore, the Unified Enterprise Group values ​​my brother and turns a blind eye to some of his willfulness. And my brother enjoys this as much as possible."

These comments were quite harsh on her brother, but contrary to the content of the comments, Yulis's eyes showed some sadness.

"Of course, this wasn't just a whim of my brother to host us. Perhaps it was indeed his idea, but maybe some conglomerate or conglomerate agreed, or perhaps there's some kind of backing."

Yu Shen Haoyu largely agreed. Anyone with half a brain would extend an olive branch to Yu Shen Haoyu and Yulis, given the combat power they displayed at this Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival.

Yu Shenhao's expression suddenly turned strange. It turned out that several women had suddenly appeared around Yobert, one of whom was Princess Maria, but Yobert still treated the other women intimately.

"Them...they are my brother's lovers."

"lover?"

Hearing Yulis speak so casually, Yushin Hiroyu was taken aback. This world was a monogamous society, yet the lovers were openly appearing in front of the legal wife? What was even stranger was that Maria, the legal wife, was smiling and chatting happily with these lovers.

"Because they were sent by the integrated corporate finance, of course no one dared to question them."

Yulis picked up the cup with a look of annoyance and took a sip.

Yu Shenhaoyu didn't know how to complain.

“However, my sister-in-law’s personality is really naive, and it’s fortunate that she’s completely uninvolved. My brother seems to often consider this as well, and I don’t dislike my sister-in-law… After all, my brother’s relationship with his lover is a well-known fact among the people. My brother is a ‘king who, although unrestrained, is lovable and not unlikeable.’” Julie’s eyes were indeed meaningful.

At this moment, Claudia appeared and struck up a conversation with Jobert.

Yulis continued, "You know that Claudia's mother is an executive of the Unified Enterprises Foundation, right?"

"Yes, I've heard a little about it."

“Claudia’s mother used to be in charge of this district, and she was the one who introduced my sister-in-law to my brother. Later, Claudia’s mother was promoted to a higher position, and her father took over the job. Claudia would visit Lezetania, mostly to accompany her father. Of course, we didn’t have much interaction at that time. I may have mentioned before that my acquaintance with her was limited to a few meetings at the Paris Opera Ball. Her meddling in my affairs started after I joined Asterisk.”

Yu Shenhao nodded as if he understood: "Speaking of which, was Claudia's father also an executive of the Unified Foundation?"

"No, she's not a cadre. She's more like her mother's secretary or a personal subordinate. She probably can't become a cadre."

"What happened?"

“I’ve met him a few times; he’s too human. To become a manager of the Integral Corporation, you have to abandon your humanity.”

Yulis's words were sharp, but her attitude towards the executives of the Unified Enterprise Group was also very clear.

To become a senior executive of a conglomerate, one must abandon humanity.

It's not something Yushin Hiroyu wants to see the world controlled by a group of inhuman beings.

However, Mikami Hiroyu has no plans to target the integrated corporate conglomerate's rivals yet, as the time is not yet ripe.

"So I personally like her father more than her mother; at least I can feel his love and care for his daughter."

Indeed, if an ordinary person wanted to become a high-ranking executive in a conglomerate, second only to the CEO, they would probably have long since abandoned their humanity. However, Claudia's father resisted the temptation, which shows that he was a good person.

“Princess, may I bother you for a moment? His Majesty instructed me to fetch this bottle of wine, but I don’t know where it is…”

At that moment, Flora rushed over to find Euryth.

"Well... Flora is still an intern, so she probably won't be able to enter the wine cellar... That brat of a brother must have forgotten... Sorry, Haoyu, I'll leave for a moment."

"I understand, I'll go get some fresh air too."

After watching Flora leave, Mikami Hiroyu went to the balcony.

"Ah, okay, okay... this..."

Seeing Kirin along the way made Mikami Hiroyu stop.

Several guests surrounded Kirin and chatted with her. She looked clearly troubled... and tears were almost welling up in her eyes.

Today, Kirin is incredibly charming to everyone, and the men in this country are very proactive. No wonder people are hitting on her…

"Kirin, can I come here for a moment?"

"Ah...! Okay, okay! Excuse me, I'll take my leave now."

As soon as Yu Shenhao greeted her, Qi Lin ran over with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Senior Haoyu, I'm saved."

"You're welcome."

Seeing Yu Shenhao's smile, Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.

"I... am not very bright and not good at talking to strangers."

Kirin is incredibly talkative when it comes to swordsmanship, but quite taciturn on topics other than swordsmanship. It's certainly a difficult task for Kirin to navigate social situations on her own.

"Besides... I'm not as pretty as my senior..."

"But in my eyes, Kirin is a very cute girl."

"But, this kind of outfit... is still not suitable for a girl like me."

Qilin lowered her head in frustration; she still lacked self-confidence.

Yu Shen Haoyu let out a slight sigh of relief, stopped walking, turned around to face Qi Lin, and said decisively.

"As I just mentioned, this dress really suits you. It exudes a mature charm and is absolutely beautiful."

Qilin suddenly blushed.

Chapter 3718 Chimera

Hiroyu Mikami's words were a little harsh, but the truth was the truth. Kirin, whose appearance was still quite youthful, suddenly appeared mature in her unique dress. Unlike Yulis and Claudia, who naturally exuded glamour, she possessed an air of innocence amidst her elegance.

"Th-thank you...senior..."

Kirin's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Well, anyway, how about we go for a walk on the balcony?"

Just as Mikami Hiroyu was about to take a step, wanting to break the awkward atmosphere, Kirin grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"Um, um... I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor, senior. Is that alright?"

"Please?"

"Um... I want to hold my senior's hand too... I saw Yulis-senpai doing that just now, it felt so great..."

Mikami Hiroyu smiled slightly, then bent his left arm, and Kirin cautiously approached, hooking her right arm around his. It was less of a hook and more of a tight embrace. Earlier, when he was with Yulis, Yulis had only lightly placed her hand on his, but this time Kirin, whose age seemed disproportionate to hers, pressed her arm tightly against his, filling Mikami Hiroyu with a mixture of secret pleasure and guilt.

Furthermore, Kirin's current attire differs from her usual uniform, revealing a considerable amount of skin.

"Um, Kirin? Wouldn't it be better if you moved away a little..."

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry...!"

Just as Kirin's body was about to leave.

"Only Kirin is unfair."

"Whoa!?"

Suddenly, on the other side, Yu was pulled forcefully by Saya, who suddenly appeared.

The reaction force caused Yu Shen Haoyu to squeeze into Qi Lin's heart once again.

"Saya! What's wrong all of a sudden?!"

“I also want to hold Haoyu’s hand. This is a legitimate request.”

"Then don't suddenly pounce on me!"

If Kirin was holding on tightly, then Saya was clinging to her tightly... It was more like a tug-of-war, which couldn't really be called companionship.

"Haha, he's got two women on his arms! Oh, I'm so envious."

At that moment, a voice came from behind Yu Shenhao and the others.

Looking back, I saw a middle-aged gentleman with a neatly trimmed beard, smiling.

"Oh, uh, I'm so sorry, I disturbed people..."

When he greeted him today, he hadn't seen this person before, but Yu Shen Haoyu secretly became wary. This person exuded hostility, and the star power he possessed was also very strong.

"No, no, no, this is also a privilege of young people. It's really good to have energy. No wonder you were such an active participant in the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival."

"I'm not some big shot, just a Phoenix Star Warrior."

"By the way, are you also planning to participate in this year's Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival? I heard you'll be joining Miss Enfield's team."

"No, I haven't thought about those yet..."

Although Mikami Hiroyu decided to join Claudia's team, no one else knew about it.

"Oh, I see. In that case, for your own safety, I advise you not to join her team."

In that instant, the gentleman's eyes, which had been smiling, suddenly flashed with a fierce light, radiating a tense and murderous aura.

Saya and Kirin quickly moved away from Mikami Hiroyu's body and assumed a fighting stance.

"Why do you say that, sir?"

Yu Shen Haoyu seemed oblivious to the killing intent and spoke calmly.

"It's nothing, that's all. If you join Miss Enfield's team, some people will have a headache. My mission is to try to stop it... that's why I've come to ask you all for help."

The gentleman spoke politely, while grinning.

People around probably noticed something was wrong, and the commotion spread like ripples as the crowd gradually dispersed from the gentleman.

What if I refuse?

"That's such a pity. It's heartbreaking to see such a lovely junior being harmed."

The next instant, the power of the stars surged around the gentleman.

"So... let these kids be in charge of completing the task."

A complex star array suddenly appeared in the sky, and a huge creature emerged from the star array.

At first glance, it resembles a lion, but there are significant differences. It is about five meters long, with bat wings on its back and a snake-like tail. Its appearance is strikingly similar to the chimera from mythology. These creatures are similar to the monsters that attacked Mikami Hiroyu and Kirin before, except that these creatures are entirely composed of stellar energy.

"Senior Haoyu..."

Kirin probably had the same thought; her gaze seemed to suggest she wanted to say something, but the current crisis took precedence.

Guests screamed and scattered, and amidst the sounds of shattering cutlery and glass, a gentleman hiding behind a chimera bowed respectfully.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"stop!"

Saya rushed forward to try and catch up with the other party, but the chimera's huge forelimbs slammed down to block her.

"Well……!"

Despite his massive size, he moved with surprising agility, and the gentleman slipped away towards the balcony.

"What's going on?!"

Eurythmia and Claudia also arrived, but there was no time to explain to them.
