Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Because Kitagawa Yu didn't charge her for tutoring and even treated her to dinner, she took over the job of cleaning the shrine every day in return.

I must say, the image of a beautiful girl in a shrine maiden outfit cleaning the shrine every evening in the sunset is quite lovely.

Unfortunately, this did not bring any visitors to the shrine.

After all, this shrine doesn't enshrine Inari, the god in charge of commerce and harvest, but rather that idiot Enmusubi.

Even if someone wants to pray for a marriage, they would usually go to shrines that enshrine 'Ōkuninushi-Ōkami', or Jishu Shrine in Kyoto, Hakuto Shrine in Tottori City, Ise Grand Shrine in Tokyo, etc. In short, there's nothing that fool Enmusubi-gami (the god of marriage) has to do with it.

Inside the main hall behind the shrine, a certain goddess girl, upon hearing someone's inner thoughts, couldn't help but become furious and embarrassed.

"Baka baka baka—"

"How could someone so smart be an idiot!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Why did it have to be this guy out of all the humans in the world?!"

Requesting recommendations and monthly votes.

Chapter 133 Add some salt to the mineral water?

"So what if this guy is a little handsome and looks a little gentle!"

"Hmph! What's the big deal!"

"And it's all an illusion! This guy is a complete villain!"

The girl looked down at the clearly visible red line on her fingertip. First, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and then, as if to hide her shyness, she suddenly jumped up and down.

Finally realizing that further fussing would only upset him, he could only sit down angrily, pick up the hot spring bun on the offering table, and take a big bite.

then

"Wow! It's delicious!"

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and her sparkling eyes were almost as bright as Anya's. As for her previous unhappiness, it had long been forgotten.

"Hmm, if this guy could regularly offer me these hot spring buns, making him my priest wouldn't be out of the question~"

"As for getting to know each other... hmph, I'm not like those silly girls around him~~~"

The girl sat cross-legged on the table, tilting her head, her lips puffed out, secretly thinking about something and feeling quite pleased with herself.

"Dingling bell~~~"

The clear sound of bells rang out again.

Completely different from the previous hustle and bustle, this time Kitagawa Yu didn't even need to look; he could tell just by listening that the soft sound of the door being pushed open must be Yuna.

"Good morning~"

Today, Yuna wore a light blue knit top paired with a white pleated skirt with suspender details. With her light steps, the skirt swayed gently, like flowers dancing in a spring breeze.

The freshness and innocence emanating from her entire being made Kitagawa Yu somewhat lost in thought.

The moment Yuna saw Kitagawa Yu, a sweet smile involuntarily bloomed on her face, as if just seeing Kitagawa Yu made her incredibly happy.

"This is a thank you gift!"

As Yuna spoke, she lifted the gift bag in her hands and held it in front of her.

"Eh?"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, and as he accepted the gift bag, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Given his relationship with Yuna, wouldn't a thank-you gift be too formal?

Yuna saw through his thoughts and explained somewhat shyly, "I wanted to make my mom happy too, so when I went back yesterday, I told her about the new song's success. Then my mom insisted that I bring a gift over as a thank you."

Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized, and teased with a mischievous grin, "Doesn't Auntie know that you are my best gift?"

The same sweet words spoken by different people will obviously have different effects.

Looking at Kitagawa Yu so close to her, Yuna blushed, as if she were drunk and her head was a little dizzy.

Especially when Kitagawa Yu deliberately moved closer to her, his warm breath brushing against her soft, delicate earlobe, she instantly went limp and couldn't help but lean into Kitagawa Yu's arms.

Kitagawa Yu naturally put his arm around her soft, slender waist without an ounce of excess fat, kissed her forehead, and took the schoolbag from her hand at the same time.

"So heavy?"

"Yes, inside are tools and drawings."

"Didn't I say we didn't need to bring our tools and could just use mine?" Kitagawa Yu frowned and complained. He had all the painting tools that Yuna had, and even more of them.

Yuna unconsciously started fidgeting with her fingers.

Although she had already decided to give herself entirely to Kitagawa Yu, the idea of ​​relying on herself as much as possible and not causing trouble for others was deeply ingrained in the bones of most Japanese people. So she still felt that she should try to use her own strength as much as possible.

Kitagawa Yuya quickly realized the reason and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

"Never mind, let's sit over there."

"Oh, and what about breakfast? Don't you need my help?"

Kitagawa Yu explained, "Today's breakfast is rather simple. I've almost finished making it, and I'm just waiting for everyone else to get up."

Upon hearing this, Yuna's expression immediately turned disappointed, thinking to herself that she should have come a little earlier. She truly loved the warm atmosphere of making breakfast with her loved one.

Afterwards, the two sat down by the window, and Yuna took out the drawing she had just finished yesterday from her bag and handed it to him.

Kitagawa Yu originally trusted Yuna quite a bit. Yuna's drawing skills were good, and he could understand the style of the art he was depicting. It was just that the characters' movements in some fight scenes were sometimes not quite right, but he could easily correct that with a little tweaking.

But this time, he frowned after reading only a few pages.

Yuna had been watching him the whole time, and upon seeing this, she immediately became nervous and flustered.

"Is there something wrong with my drawing?"

Kitagawa Yu quickly flipped through the remaining ones, then slammed the drawings onto the table with a bang and looked at her with a serious expression.

"Is there a problem? Let me tell you, there's a huge problem!"

Yuna's heart jumped, and her face seemed to turn pale.

"Did you draw all of these last night?"

"Um"

Yuna nodded subconsciously.

Kitagawa Yu scrutinized her face for a moment before coldly snorting, "Eight pages in total. Not only are the backgrounds all drawn, but even the blacking and halftone dots are done. Tell me, what did I tell you at the beginning? And what time did you work yesterday?"

"Eh?"

Yuna froze, finally noticing the hint of heartache in Kitagawa Yu's eyes. Her heart, which had been pounding, instantly calmed down, and all her tension and panic transformed into deep emotion.

"Actually, it wasn't that late. I just drew until 1 or 2 a.m., or 5 a.m." Yuna finally chose to be honest and confess.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was just too excited last night and couldn't sleep, so... Yu, please don't be angry, okay? I promise I'll listen to you from now on."

Looking at her soft and timid appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, Kitagawa Yu was still a little angry, but he couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

"You draw until 5 a.m., then rest for a bit before washing up, changing clothes, and going out. Are you trying to experience the life of a corporate slave in advance?"

Kitagawa Yu retorted irritably.

Never underestimate the dangers of staying up late; one all-nighter is often the beginning of a disrupted sleep schedule.

Especially for high school students whose courses are not very demanding, it is easy to develop the habit of sleeping in class during the day and being energetic at night.

It's one thing if a boy does this, but it would be terrible if a pretty and cute girl like Yuna developed such a bad habit.

Sitting there drawing for ten hours straight is something your body can't handle.

"After you finish breakfast, go to my room and take a nap, but don't sleep too long. I'll have Anya wake you up for lunch. Also, from now on, leave the backgrounds, blackouts, and halftone dots to me, understand?"

"Yeah, I know!"

Yuna nodded obediently, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his expression and tone soften.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of emotion and sweetness welled up in her heart, causing her to involuntarily hug Kitagawa Yu's arm tightly, rest her head on his shoulder, and giggle foolishly.

Actually, Kitagawa Yu guessed wrong. She actually drew until 5:40, did some housework after finishing, and then washed up, changed clothes and went out. She didn't rest at all in between.

"Well, it's best not to tell Yu about this," Yuna thought to herself.

Soft sunlight streamed in through the window, and the two people nestled together breathed in mingled breaths, creating a scene that looked so beautiful and warm.

"Ohayo~! Seniors! You've arrived!"

She possesses an energy that rivals Ayumi's, as well as a sweetness reminiscent of Yukiko.

"This is the child I pushed."

Kitagawa Yu thought to himself, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

After breakfast, he first went to the company with Ayako, and then took Saito Ichigo's van to the apartment that Ai rented. It was an old apartment in a remote location, more than 20 years old, and only about 14 square meters in size. You could even see traces of mold on the ceiling and in the corners.

The only advantage is the cheap rent, which is only 45000 yen per month.

There's nothing they can do; their income as underground idols is pitifully low.

In fact, being able to live in such an apartment was already a great favor from Ichigo Saito.

"They have to practice singing and dancing very hard, putting in more effort and energy than many other professions, and they also have to endure all kinds of insults and negative comments while maintaining a smile, yet they can hardly see any hope of getting ahead."

"In order to survive, we even have to work during our rest time."

"Perhaps that's why Xiao Ai has developed increasingly severe self-destructive tendencies?"

Yes, a loose white sweatshirt with a cute cat print, paired with dark denim shorts that make legs look even straighter and longer, looks very simple and comfortable.

Her long, smooth, bluish-purple hair cascaded casually over her delicate shoulders, shimmering in the morning sunlight.

Coupled with that energetic and sweet smile, she looks so cute and relaxed.

If you didn't know the plot, who would have thought that Xiao Ai was already filled with self-destructive tendencies?

"However, her smile today seems much more genuine. Hopefully, her career advancement will lessen or eliminate her self-destructive tendencies," Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

"Is everything packed?"

"Um... I have a lot of things I'm not sure whether to bring them or just throw them away." Xiao Ai stuck out her tongue shyly, her hands behind her back.

"Please come in, seniors and Mr. Saito!"
