Mash-Up Anime World: Adopted by the Sawamura Family

At that moment, Akira Sawamura suddenly took off his jacket and undershirt, even removing the black gold-threaded vest he wore underneath.

Kanoko Soryuin's delicate hands immediately reached out, her eyes filled with fascination as she exclaimed in awe:

"What a perfect body!"

"What perfect muscles!"

"I've never seen such flawlessly sculpted muscles, as if they were carved by the Creator Himself."

"Holy crap! You muscle-obsessed freak!"

"Stay away from me!"

Akira shuddered as Kanoko's cold hands brushed over his skin, goosebumps rising instantly.

"Sis, don't do anything reckless!"

Akane Soryuin quickly stepped in to pull back her sister, who looked like she was about to lick Akira's muscles.

She was genuinely afraid Akira might slash her sister with his sword.

But Akane's eyes couldn't help but drift toward the perfectly defined muscles right in front of her.

Gulp. She unconsciously swallowed a loud mouthful of saliva.

She was also tempted to take a lick.

Everyone: "..."

So they're a pair of equally perverted sisters.

One drooling, the other swallowing.

"You two freaks, behave yourselves."

Ryoko Yakushiji coldly dragged the perverted sisters away, preventing them from getting any closer to the shirtless Akira.

"Akira, hurry up and put your clothes back on."

After Akira put his clothes back on, Kanoko and Akane Soryuin's eyes finally returned to normal, no longer fixated on his perfect muscles.

"Chisato, this is armor I brought back from China."

"It's woven using a special technique unique to China."

"Even a Barrett bullet can't penetrate it."

"It's as soft as an undershirt."

"Just wear it close to your skin."

"N-no… I can't. This is something your master gave you for protection."

"I can't take it."

Chisato Mizuki crossed her arms, shaking her head frantically in refusal.

She wasn't stupid. The moment she saw Akira take off the armor, she knew it must have been a gift from his master for his own protection.

"Enough nonsense!"

"If you don't take it, I'll sneak into your house one night, strip you, and put it on you myself."

Akira pouted, threatening her with a stern tone.

Everyone: "..."

Chisato's face instantly turned bright red, steam practically rising from her head.

It seemed like she was already imagining the scene of Akira sneaking into her room at night.

"This armor would just be a nice bonus for me."

"But for you, it's a second life."

"Don't take it off under any circumstances, except when you're bathing."

"Your only weakness right now is your artificial heart."

"The reason I reminded Takina to stay by your side at all times…"

"Was to protect you from the Ayanokouji Group sabotaging your artificial heart."

"An electric artificial heart can easily be disrupted by increasing the voltage."

"Then the Ayanokouji Group would use a new artificial heart to tempt you, forcing you to break your oath, return to fighting and killing, and walk the 'right' path in life."

"So you don't need to feel too grateful to the person who saved you back then."

"There's no such thing as unconditional love in this world."

"Nor is there unconditional hatred."

Akira shoved the armor into Chisato's arms, holding her shoulders as he lectured her.

Another profound statement.

The girls couldn't help but admire how Akira always seemed to drop such thought-provoking lines.

"Akira, you've been looking out for me in so many ways."

"Chisato is so touched!"

Chisato hugged the golden-threaded armor, her face beaming with a lovestruck grin.

While everyone felt a little envious that Akira had given such a unique item to Chisato, they also understood that she was the one who needed it the most.

"Onii-chan!"

"You've been talking for so long, but we still don't know what Chisato-nee and Takina-nee actually do for a living."

Yuki Suou couldn't help but complain with a deadpan expression.

The girls nodded subconsciously. All they knew was that Chisato worked as a café waitress.

"They handle the dirty work that Japan's police and public security can't do openly."

"Maintaining the superficial peace of Tokyo, a super metropolis with a population of 40 million."

"And this idiot Chisato even takes on low-paying private jobs on the side."

"She's constantly getting taken advantage of."

Akira reached out and ruffled Chisato's faintly yellowish white hair, complaining with a helpless expression.

Hehe!

Chisato stuck out her tongue and gave a silly grin.

"Think of them as official freelance cleaners."

"They have no official status, and none of their missions are officially recorded."

"They leave no traces, essentially a ghost department of the Japanese government."

"This is to prevent exposure, which could spark mass protests among the public."

"After all, the reputation of Japan's police and public security is already in the gutter."

"Especially the latter—it's practically rotten to the core."

Hard to argue with that.

"Arisu, you've always thought of yourself as a true genius."

"Now you can think about what exactly it is about you that caught the Ayanokouji Group's attention."

"A real genius wouldn't waste their time playing strategy games at Advanced Nurturing High School."

Upon hearing this, Arisu Sakayanagi turned as red as a boiling kettle, utterly unconvinced by Akira's assessment.

"Let me tell you about Chisato's achievements."

"When Chisato was seven years old, Tokyo's landmark—the Sky Tree—was taken over by a group of heavily armed terrorists."

"Chisato single-handedly took down the entire group of well-equipped terrorists."

"Take note!"

"She was only seven years old at the time!"

"Akira, you're making me blush with all this praise."

Chisato, still in her lovestruck state, covered her face shyly.

"Suddenly, I feel so safe being around Chisato-nee."

"Same here!"

The girls instinctively moved closer to Chisato and Takina Inoue.

They were like the unsung heroes silently protecting Tokyo.

They were practically their idols.
