Mash-Up Anime World: Adopted by the Sawamura Family

"For example, I mentioned Ayanokōji Atsuomi to you before."

"Because the butler serving this clown made a small mistake, not only was he fired,"

"But as punishment, the butler's son, who was in high school, was also forced to drop out."

"And no other high school was allowed to admit him."

"He could only rely on odd jobs to barely get by, struggling to survive in this society."

"In the end, this high school student, who had worked hard to get into a prestigious high school, was driven to burn charcoal and commit suicide in despair."

"After losing his wife in middle age and having a child late in life, the butler, upon hearing this news, also set himself on fire in despair and died."

Everyone: ...

So tragic!

So terrifying!

Two lives were taken in one breath.

The most crucial point is that this was all done legally.

There was no evidence to convict Ayanokōji Atsuomi under the law.

"This was just a small whim of power."

"Yet it permanently altered the fate of a father and son."

"I'm really, really pissed off about this!"

"This clown probably forgot what it was like when he was young and got beaten down by society, struggling to survive."

Sawamura Akira spoke in a cold tone.

"How can this be? This is too much!"

"This guy isn't human!"

"Exactly, this guy doesn't deserve to be called human anymore."

"So I've decided to destroy everything he's worked for, to crush his dreams and hopes."

"Let him experience this kind of despair and pain."

"To be human, you need at least some basic human decency."

"No matter how high you climb, you must maintain a shred of reverence for life."

*Clap clap clap!*

Everyone erupted into applause after hearing this.

Their childhood friend had spoken so well.

"Haruno Yukinoshita, you can be a bad woman, but you can't lose your basic human decency."

"This is my advice to you."

Yukinoshita Haruno quickly raised her hand and nodded vigorously, promising that she understood.

"Like Sensei, Ryouko-nee, and Coco-nee, they can't be considered good women in the traditional sense from any angle."

"They're definitely bad women, but I have no issues with that."

"Is Saeko, the epitome of a Yamato Nadeshiko, not a good woman either?"

Kamiya Kanade asked in shock.

"Shishou has serious violent and bloodthirsty tendencies."

"She gets excited at the sight of blood."

"It's an inherited trait."

Sawamura Akira spread his hands and explained helplessly.

"Shishou, you've known all along?"

"Shishou, I'm not blind."

"Don't worry, I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life."

Kashiwazaki Satsuki suddenly realized and said with certainty:

"I knew it! Saeko-nee is definitely a yandere!"

"I'm the stabilizer and anchor for Shishou's psyche. As long as I'm here, Shishou won't lose control."

"That's good."

"It feels like everyone is hiding so much."

Chitanda Eru, like a curious child, looked at each of her childhood friends with intense curiosity.

Suddenly, Sawamura Akira's tone shifted, becoming more playful.

"Shishou, you can't live without me for the rest of your life, yet you still refuse to join my harem."

"Your thinking is so untraditional!"

"Shishou, I'll chop your head off!"

Busujima Saeko said with a smile, but her words were terrifying.

This instantly made Sawamura Akira behave.

"Ahem! Let's talk about Yukino instead."

"Yukino, your flaws are also quite obvious."

"You're aloof, dislike socializing, and prefer to be alone."

"Just look at how many people your sharp tongue has driven away over the years."

"Since childhood, you've believed that people bully you because you're too outstanding."

"Isn't that just chuunibyou?"

"The typical mindset of 'it's not me who's wrong, it's the world.'"

"So I'll change this wrong world."

"That's Yukino-chan's chuunibyou thinking."

"But good grades don't mean someone is overall outstanding."

"With Yukino-chan's personality, if she went to Advanced Nurture High School, she'd definitely be placed in the worst class, Class D."

"Class D represents students with defects, flaws, or essentially rejects."

"Principal Sakayanagi, am I right?"

"Correct, Yukinoshita-san's personality has significant issues."

"Cooperation and leadership are more important in Advanced Nurture High School's evaluation system than academic ability."

"Good grades alone are useless."

"Unless you're a scientific genius who's shown extraordinary intelligence since childhood."

"You're very similar to one of the incoming first-year students at Advanced Nurture High School."

"Almost like two peas in a pod."

"If it weren't for your different surnames, I'd think you two were twins."

Sakayanagi Narumori couldn't help but marvel.

"Is there really someone so similar to Yukino-chan in this world?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was extremely interested upon hearing this.

She'd have to check it out sometime.

"Yukino-chan, did you hear that?"

"There's another chuunibyou just like you in this world!"

"Shut up!"

Yukinoshita Yukino shouted in embarrassment and anger.

"Yukino, since your dream is to change the world,"

"Are you still planning to keep running that little playhouse of a Service Club?"

"Once school starts, I'll immediately apply to the student council to disband the club."

Yukinoshita Yukino said fiercely.

She never wanted to be mocked like this by her mischievous childhood friend again.

"Eh? I was planning to join your Service Club for fun once school started!"

"Just the name alone shows how unique Yukino-chan is."

Sawamura Akira gave Yukinoshita Yukino a thumbs-up, winking suggestively.

"Oh? Are you planning to transfer to Soubu High?"

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly asked with a playful tone.

Seeing the looks in the other childhood friends' eyes, Sawamura Akira broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, how did I accidentally set off this landmine?

"Onii-chan, transfer to the private Seirin Academy where Yuuki is studying!"

"Masha and Ellie are also at this school."

"You attended middle school there for a while too."

"Most importantly, it's close to the Kujo and Suou families."

"I disagree. Private Toyosaki Academy is closer to our home, making it easier for Sawamura Akira to return."

Kashiwazaki Satsuki wanted to show off her older brother.

Preferably to crush her rival at school.

"Satsuki is just a little sister, she has no right to decide for Akira."

"Akira, come to the church school!"

"My father is the chairman of St. Chronica Academy."

"No one will care what we do there."

Kashiwazaki Satsuki grabbed Sawamura Akira's arm, blinking her starry eyes and cooing.

Everyone else: ...

Kashiwazaki Satsuki, you idiot!

Could you not say something so suggestive?

Kashiwazaki Tenma's face instantly darkened.

"Akira, Shuchiin Academy is the best."

"Shishou, I think Fujimi Academy is also good."

"Akira, since you like having fun, I think Private Hyakkaou Academy suits you better."

"Is Totsuki Academy not good?"

"Who would go to a cooking school like that!"

They all knew Totsuki Academy was located in the mountains on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Students had to live on campus for the entire semester.

If Sawamura Akira went to Totsuki, they'd barely see him all semester.

"If you're so brave,"

"Then don't eat my cooking after I become a Special Class Chef."

Erina pouted and threatened.

"Erina, we were just joking."

Everyone was extremely interested in dishes made with a chef's heart.

Who wouldn't want to taste such incredibly delicious food?

"Akira, come to Shuchiin!"

"I'll introduce you to Kaguya-chan."

"I have many good friends at Shuchiin."

"They're all wonderful people."

"Chika, I really appreciate it!"

"But I must decline."

"The Four Houses' family values don't align with my own."

Sawamura Akira had no interest in the current "Ice Princess" Kaguya.

"Chika, what I'm most worried about is you."

"What if you accidentally leak our plans to Kaguya?"

"Given Kaguya's personality, what do you think she'd do?"

"We'd all be in trouble."

Sawamura Akira placed his hands on Fujiwara Chika's shoulders, warning her seriously.

"Ahaha! How could I do something so irresponsible?"

"Why don't you ask Toyomi-nee and Moeta? See if they think you're reliable?"

"Chika, your personality really makes it hard to trust you."

"Exactly, Akira-nii is absolutely right."

"Chika-nee is completely unreliable."

Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeta confirmed Sawamura Akira's concerns.

"Four Houses Genan is a terrifying man. He built the Four Houses Zaibatsu into what it is today."

"Chika, when you first became friends with Kaguya,"

"I was actually against it in my heart."

"Not to mention, Kaguya has three older brothers."

"I've met all three, and none of them are easy to deal with."

"The Four Houses Zaibatsu's power is entirely in Four Houses Genan's hands."

"Once Four Houses Genan passes away, the Four Houses family will immediately fall into chaos."

"This is a major event that could affect all of Japan."

Fujiwara Daichi said worriedly.

"Uncle Daichi is right."

"From what I know, Four Houses Genan's health isn't good at all."

"Where did you get such confidential information?"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

After all, the Four Houses family is one of Japan's top zaibatsu.

Even globally, they're a well-known major zaibatsu.

The health information of a zaibatsu's leader is top secret.

"It's a secret."

"But I can confirm that Four Houses Genan's health is poor."

"And that's not important."

"What's important is how to ensure Chika doesn't accidentally leak anything to Kaguya?"

"After all, you two are so close."

Sawamura Akira pondered while stroking his chin.

"Akira-nii, why don't we lock Chika-nee at home for a while?"

Fujiwara Moeta mischievously raised her hand and suggested.

"Moeta, you little devil, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Fujiwara Chika was furious at her scheming little sister.

Being locked at home would be a living hell for her.

"Isn't Kanade also at Shuchiin?"

"Have her stick to Chika like glue for a while."

Fujiwara Toyomi suddenly looked at Kamiya Kanade, her eyes lighting up with the idea.

"Great idea."

After solving the issue of Fujiwara Chika potentially leaking information,

The previously quiet atmosphere became noisy again.

Everyone wanted their childhood friend to transfer to their school.

So they could have a sweet campus romance.

"Akira, since you're worried about me leaking information, why don't you transfer here too? That'd be even safer."

Fujiwara Chika's eyes suddenly lit up as she pressed further.

"No, we disagree."

"Kanade's personality is very reliable."

Hearing the noise equivalent to 800 ducks, Sawamura Akira's head was about to explode.

He quickly raised his hand and pressed it down, shouting:

"Pause! Stop arguing. I have a genius idea."

"It'll solve all your conflicts."

*Hmph!*

Everyone decided to give Sawamura Akira a chance.

What kind of solution could he possibly come up with?

After all, this was an unsolvable deadlock.

It's not like Sawamura Akira could transfer schools every semester, right?

"What if we moved all the high schools in Tokyo's 23 wards to the same location?"

*Pfft!*

*Cough cough!*

Before the childhood friends could react, the adults couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

What kind of insane idea was this?

"A crazy idea."

"But impractical."

"What's the reason? Where's the location? What about the funding?"

"I've thought of the reason too."

"Japan's declining birthrate is getting worse."

"By gathering many schools together, we can create an Academy City."

"Not only would it boost the economy and increase employment,"

"But it would also ease Tokyo's congestion."

"Most importantly, it'd make it easier for students to date and build relationships."

"So they can seamlessly transition into marriage after graduation."

"Get married, have kids, become corporate slaves, and continue contributing to Japan's society."

"Don't you think it's dangerous that so many young people aren't getting married?"

"Once their parents pass away, they'll have no ties left."

"They'll become socially invincible."

"What if they one day snap and take it out on society?"

"As the masters of this country, we must crack down on this phenomenon."

Everyone: ...

"Even though Akira is spouting nonsense, I actually find it somewhat reasonable."

The adults' eyes and tone were eerily approving.

"What about the location?"

"Advanced Nurture High School is on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay."

"It's the size of an entire town."

"If we continue land reclamation, we could expand it to the size of a ward."

"Then we could turn Tokyo's 23 wards into 24."

"I've already thought of a name: Academy City."

Everyone: ...

This kid's ideas are getting more and more outrageous.

"But Japan's land reclamation technology isn't the best."

"A town-sized area is already the limit."

Sakayanagi Narumori, as an educational elite, had participated in the creation of Advanced Nurture High School over a decade ago.

He knew that the artificial island's size was already the limit of Japan's technology.

"That's not a problem. I have a sister in the Southern Alliance."

"I guarantee it's the most advanced land reclamation technology in the world."

"Funding isn't an issue either. Each of us can contribute a little."

"If it's not enough, I'll ask Coco-nee and my other sisters for investment."

"After all, money is just a number to them."

"In fact, as long as we can move all these schools to the artificial island,"

"It's a guaranteed profitable venture."

"Don't forget, the land under the schools in Tokyo's 23 wards is the most valuable."

"Many schools are located in prime, central areas."

"Once they relocate, the value of the vacated land will be astronomical."

*Gulp!*

The adults were all tempted by the grand financial prospects Sawamura Akira painted.

Because it was an undeniable fact.

The land in Tokyo's 23 wards was already fully developed.

The land under these schools was rare, scarce, and priceless.
