Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

A strange light flashed in Kitagawa Yu's eyes. He was silent for a moment, then chuckled and tapped her on the head.

"Then why don't you start cultivating?"

"Okay, Master~~~"

"Hoo~breath~"

"Snapped!"

"Wrong, you should apply more pressure here."

"Oh~"

"Breathe~breathe~breathe~"

"Snapped!"

"We need to speed up here, like this."

"Oh"

"Breathe~breathe~breathe~"

"Snapped!"

"here--"

"Master, please stop hitting my head! It'll make me stupid!"

"You don't need to worry about that. If you can make a mistake with such a simple breathing rhythm, I don't think your IQ has any room to drop any further."

"???"

Kaori Miyazono covered her head, her eyes wide, looking at Yu Kitagawa with a suspicious expression.

"Master, are you really dating Ayumi-nee?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I'm worried that with your sharp tongue, Master, you won't be able to find a girlfriend!"

"You don't need to worry about that~ Keep going!"

Chapter 136 Anya's Plan Fails

Time slipped away unnoticed amidst their playful bickering.

An hour later, Kitagawa Yu gently lifted the sleeping Kaoru from the wheelchair, placed her back on the bed, and covered her with a blanket. Then he took the coat that was covering her and quietly left the ward.

To be able to fall asleep while practicing a breathing technique, that's truly unbelievable.

Even if Kanae has a good temper, she probably wouldn't be able to resist hitting this good-for-nothing successor of Flower Breathing, right?

Thinking of that sleeping face, so serene and lovely, like an angel, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

I glanced at my phone; it was already 3 p.m.

Kitagawa Yu originally planned to take the subway home directly, but as soon as she stepped out of the hospital, she saw a boy pacing back and forth on the roadside not far away.

The boy had long, somewhat messy black hair.

He wore black-rimmed glasses that gave him a somewhat nerdy look, but if you took off the glasses, his features would be quite delicate.

However, his clothes looked a bit outdated. Ordinary jeans were fine, but his top was actually a fake two-piece set of a T-shirt and a long-sleeved shirt.

Kitagawa Yu really didn't expect that in 2023, there would still be middle school or high school students dressed like this.

Besides that, what's most eye-catching about the boy is the paper bag he's carrying.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but it just so happens that the canelé he bought earlier came from the same chain bakery.

"Could this guy be Arima Kousei? Is he here to see Kaoru?"

After thinking about it, Kitagawa Yu went over anyway.

Arima Kousei's introverted and taciturn nature startled him when Kitagawa Yu suddenly stopped him. His whole body tensed up with nervousness, and his mind instinctively thought, "This is the entrance to a hospital. Even delinquent high school students wouldn't be collecting protection money here, would they?"

Thankfully, Anya wasn't here, and Kitagawa Yuya didn't have mind-reading abilities, otherwise he would definitely have given Arima Kousei a hard time.

What a joke! He's so handsome and gentle, how could he possibly be a delinquent high school student?

However, this is not entirely Arima Kousei's fault. It's mainly because after Kitagawa Yu mastered the breathing technique, his scrutinizing gaze was so sharp when he seriously looked at someone, it was like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

"You're Arima Kousei?"

"Ah, I, I am."

Arima Kousei, whose name was called, became even more flustered, which left Kitagawa Yu completely bewildered.

"Don't be nervous. I've just heard Kaoru mention you a lot, so I'm a little curious. By the way, my name is Kitagawa Yu, and I'm Kaoru's mentor—"

"Master?" Just like Ryota Watari, Kousei Arima instinctively thought that Yu Kitagawa was Kaoru's violin teacher, as if he also had his own teacher.

Kitagawa Yu's youth surprised him somewhat.

"How come I've never heard of such a young violinist before?" Arima Kousei wondered to himself.

However, after learning that Kitagawa Yu wasn't a delinquent, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Kitagawa Yu's next words made him nervous again.

"Did you come to see Xiao Xun?"

Arima Kousei tensed up, instinctively hiding the paper bag containing the canelés behind his back with one hand, while frantically waving his other hand and hurriedly denying, "No, no, I just happened to be passing by."

That's an insult to Kitagawa Yu's intelligence.

Even if Kitagawa Yu didn't know the plot, he could tell that Arima Kosei was lying about life and death.

However, he did understand Arima Kousei.

Kousei Arima is inherently a kind and introverted person.

Kaori Miyazono wants to use her last moments to save Kousei Arima, who can no longer play the piano after his mother's death, but she doesn't want to ruin the relationship between him and Tsubaki Sawabe, who are childhood friends, so she pretends to like Ryota Watari.

Because of this lie, Kousei Arima is afraid to face his true feelings for Kaori Miyazono, fearing that he will become a NTR (Netorare, a Japanese term for a person who has cheats on their relationship) and hurt his childhood friend Ryota Watari.

But now Xiao Xun won't die!

"Is that so?" Kitagawa Yu took a deep breath. For Kaoru's sake, he decided to pretend he had been deceived.

"But if you can come to see Xiao Xun often, I think she will be very happy."

If someone were braver or thicker-skinned, they should have taken the opportunity to go to the hospital to see Xiao Xun, but Ma Gongsheng...

"No, no. How could that be? Kaoru should want him to come over more," Arima Kousei quickly said, his expression making Kitagawa Yu's hands itch.

Is there any conflict between Ryota Watari going to see Kaoru and him going to see Kaoru?

Kitagawa Yu took another deep breath, silently reminding himself to stay calm, but dawdling wasn't his style, so...

"Alright then, what if I said that Kaoru actually likes you too, but only said she likes Watari Ryota because she was afraid of ruining your relationship with Sawabe Tsubaki?"

Kitagawa Yu stared directly into Arima Kousei's eyes and unleashed his ultimate attack, 'Soul, Pain, Torture'.

Arima Kousei froze, taking a full seven or eight seconds to react. His eyes widened and his mouth involuntarily opened wide.

"My feelings for Xiaochun?!"

"Please, you don't still think that you and Xiaochun are just ordinary good friends or siblings, do you?"

"If that's all there is to it, would she have rejected the former captain of the boys' baseball club, whom she had always secretly admired, for you?"

"If that's all there is to it, would she study so hard for you, wanting to get into the same high school as you?"

"Actually, everyone who knows you except yourself knows that Xiaochun likes you, she likes you very, very, very much!"

"So what exactly are your feelings for Xiaochun?"

"If you could choose, would you want to date Kaoru or Tsubaki? Could you refuse the other one?"

Kitagawa Yu's barrage of questions completely baffled Arima Kousei.

Even after he returned to his teacher's house in a daze, these questions were still lingering in his mind.

"Snapped!"

The rolled-up sheet music slammed heavily onto Kousei Arima's head.

Arima Kousei finally came to his senses and looked blankly at his teacher, Seto Hiroko, and Aiza Nagi, who was nominally his junior sister but was actually his disciple.

"What are you doing, Kousei? Next week is Nagi's school festival. Aren't you going to hurry up and practice? Do you even want to perform at the festival?" Seto Hiroko questioned with a stern face.

"I don't know—" Arima Kousei blurted out subconsciously, but then he realized what he had said.

"No, no, I mean I will definitely practice hard!" Arima Kousei quickly assured him.

"As for Tsubaki and Kaoru, let's talk about them after the school festival. After all, Kaoru is still waiting for me to save her!"

Death itself is not scary; what is scary is knowing in advance when you will die, and that your body will gradually lose sensation before you die, eventually unable to play your beloved violin, and only able to lie paralyzed in bed, staring at the pale ceiling, slowly waiting to die.

Even the optimistic Xiao Xun couldn't help but feel fear and depression at this horrific way of dying, and gradually lost her will to live as death approached.

He absolutely could not stand by and watch Xiao Xun give up on him like this.

Even if the success rate of the surgery is only one percent, as long as you struggle, there is still a possibility of a miracle.

So he wanted to use music to reawaken Xiao Xun's desire for life.

"Nagi! Let's begin!"

"Huh? Did I forget something?"

"Um"

"Forget it, if I can't remember, I won't think about it anymore. It's probably not anything important anyway."

Kitagawa Yu pushed open the door and walked into the coffee shop.

The rich aroma of coffee, mixed with a unique sweet scent, wafts over you.

"I'm back~"

Although the coffee shop did see a significant increase in business a few days ago thanks to gimmicks such as "beautiful girl barista," "beautiful girl waitress," and "shrine maiden coffee," it was still a success.

But once the hype died down, and with Kitagawa Yu's rather capricious decision to close at 5 p.m. every day, the business of this somewhat out-of-the-way coffee shop immediately returned to its normal level.
