Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

This made him feel gratified and amused, but he also couldn't help feeling sorry for her, because she had to pretend to be nonchalant to her parents, classmates, and friends.

Only in front of him can Xiao Xun let down her guard, act spoiled, and rely on him.

"Actually, you can tell your parents now."

As Kitagawa Yu spoke, he approached her and handed her the paper bag containing canelés.

"I'm sorry, Master. Although I trust you completely, I still hope to tell them only after I'm truly cured."

As she spoke, Xiao Xun, as if trying to please him, first gave him a hug, then leaned against him like a lazy kitten, deftly opened the paper bag with both hands, took out a canelé from it, and happily fed it to his mouth.

"Trying to please me with the gift I brought? How clever of you!"

Kitagawa Yu smiled and shook his head. But he also knew how painful and terrible it was to see hope in despair, only to have that hope dashed in the end.

Her parents had gradually accepted that she was about to die. If they were to see hope again at this point, and she still died in the end, it would be an unbearable blow to her parents.

"Hehe, Master opened his mouth!"

Kitagawa Yu reluctantly opened his mouth and accepted her gift. While savoring the sweet and soft taste in his mouth, he reached out and patted her head hard.

"Idiot. Even if you really die, I will definitely find a way to revive you," Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

"Oh, right, Master, let's go for a walk!" Xiao Xun's mouth was stuffed with canelé, her cheeks puffed out, like a cute little hamster.

"Okay, I'll go get the wheelchair."

Kitagawa Yu naturally wouldn't refuse. With her parents away, and Arima Kousei and Watari Ryota having to go to school and train, neither of them could come to accompany her. So, only he could take Kaoru outside for a walk.

"I don't need the wheelchair this time. I actually practiced breathing techniques at noon today, so I feel much better now!"

As Xiao Xun spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and made a gesture of showing off her muscles, which made Kitagawa Yu smile.

Even including the time you spent cultivating at noon today, you only cultivated twice, which adds up to no more than two hours. How much improvement could that have been?

"But I really feel much better! Master, look, I can walk on my own now without any problems!" Xiao Xun said, about to jump off the bed, which startled Kitagawa Yu, who quickly grabbed her.

"Okay, okay, this time you won't use the wheelchair, alright?"

Kitagawa Yu tapped her on the head in an annoyed tone, then helped her out of bed and put on her shoes, saying, "If you're really feeling much better, why don't you go back to school?"

"Uh this"

Xiao Xun was startled, her gaze darting away, feeling somewhat guilty and not daring to look at him.

Kitagawa Yu saw through her thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

The reason she approached Arima Kousei was not only to save him from giving up the piano and falling into darkness, but also because she wanted to be willful one last time before she died, after all, he was the boy she had secretly loved for eight years.

In fact, she never intended to interfere in the relationship between Arima Kousei and Sawabe Tsubaki, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she liked Watari Ryota.

She's just so adorable when she's freed from all constraints and acts so carefree; she's incredibly charming to Arima Kousei and most guys.

This made Arima Kousei fall in love with her uncontrollably.

If she doesn't have much time left, then she can be willful as she pleases. Anyway, once she dies, Arima Kousei will definitely be able to stay with Sawabe Tsubaki, just like the ending in the anime.

But if she doesn't have to die, then she can't be willful anymore; her kindness won't allow her to separate Arima Kousei and Sawabe Tsubaki.

"Master, do you think what I did was right?" Seeing that he was no longer pressing for answers, Xiao Xun couldn't help but ask softly after a moment of silence.

“Well, from a moral standpoint, what you did was indeed right, but just don’t regret it later,” Kitagawa Yu shrugged and said.

"Oh, Tsubaki and Kousei are such good friends, they're childhood sweethearts, anyway, I won't regret it." Kaoru said, but she couldn't help but show a disappointed and frustrated expression on her face.

"Okay, don't be sad. Being friends isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Kitagawa Yu didn't know how to comfort her, so he suggested, "How about this, I'll take you to see something good tonight!"

"What good stuff?"

"You'll find out soon enough, go change your clothes first~" Kitagawa Yu said mysteriously.

Actually, the good thing he was referring to was Xiao Ai and her group's performance.

Just like Ayako and her group back then, B-Komachi also performs in LiveHouses, which is their main source of income and fan base.

However, the LiveHouse where they performed was in Akihabara, not Shimokitazawa.

Because of his mediocre performance, he only had two shows a week, with two songs per show, and they were on Monday and Tuesday nights, which were considered unlucky times.

However, he believes that things will definitely be different after tonight.

After leaving the hospital, considering Kaoru's health, Kitagawa Yu did not take her to the subway, but instead took a taxi directly to Akihabara.

Looking at the anime standees everywhere on both sides, and the young ladies dressed in maid outfits, Xiao Xun, who was originally a little down, became visibly excited.

Because she was bedridden for many years, she could only pass the time by reading novels, comics and anime. After reading them for a long time, she naturally came to like them.

However, due to her health condition, this was her first time visiting Akihabara since she was a child.

Wow! It's so lively here!

"Master, what kind of wonderful thing is it?"

"Let me guess, is there a new comic or novel signing event? Or is there a new limited edition figurine or a new game being released?"

"Master, do you know that I've actually wanted to come to Akihabara for a long time!"

Xiao Xun chattered excitedly, and seeing how happy she was, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile.

"No need to guess anymore, none of them are right~" With that, Kitagawa Yu led her into a building and then, under her questioning gaze, headed towards the staircase leading to the underground.

Clearly, underground idols and LiveHouses are beyond her knowledge.

It wasn't until they entered the LiveHouse, where many people had already arrived, and saw the support headbands on their heads and the light sticks in their hands, that Xiao Xun showed a look of sudden realization. Then, she looked at Kitagawa Yu with a strange expression.

"Master, you wouldn't be..."

"Yeah, just like you guessed. Could you please give me two B-Komachi headbands and four red light sticks?"

The LiveHouse here prepares support items for the idol groups performing that night in advance, which is one of the sources of income for underground idols. However, B-Komachi's popularity is not very high, so this income is very little.

Then, despite Kaoru's protests, Kitagawa Yu insisted on keeping the headband on her head.

After her resistance proved futile, Xiao Xun could only accept it with a blush on her face.

She couldn't help it; having never followed an idol before, let alone attended a fan support event, she felt it was incredibly embarrassing.

However, looking around at the groups of fans, some wearing headbands from different idol groups, some holding light sticks of different colors, and some even with various patterns painted on their faces, excitedly discussing their favorite idol groups or recommending them to others, and seeing the genuine excitement and happiness on everyone's faces, she felt a strange feeling she had never experienced before.

This was a completely different experience from her previous experiences listening to piano performances, violin performances, and concerts.

Even if the audience there likes something a lot, they will restrain their emotions in order to appear elegant and noble. Sometimes, they will even pretend to understand and appreciate the content if they don't understand it.

She used to think this was normal, but after she let go of her inhibitions and started following her heart, she suddenly felt that it was too repressive.

These audience members watching underground idol performances have no need to hide their true feelings; they can express their likes or dislikes freely.

At this moment, even though the performance hadn't started yet, she was already infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but get a little restless.

Soon, one after another, idol girl groups began to take the stage and perform.

Honestly, most of the performers in these kinds of places are relatively unknown underground idols. If they were truly famous, they wouldn't perform in these places on Mondays; they would schedule it for the weekend.

However, the fact that they were able to get on this stage shows that they have a certain level of skill, after all, this is Akihabara, and the tickets for the LiveHouses here are not cheap.

You can say their songs aren't good, but you can't say there's anything wrong with how they sing.

You can say they're average-looking, but you can't say they dance badly.

Those who make it onto this stage have basically accomplished at least 80% of what they could have achieved through hard work.

Xiao Xun doesn't really appreciate this kind of idol music, but that doesn't stop her from having a lot of fun. Many of the groups that appear on stage probably only have a dozen or even seven or eight fans.

However, the cheers of just seven or eight fans could be heard throughout the entire LiveHouse, reaching dozens or even hundreds of people, and even inspiring others.

This feeling was completely new to her.

As a result, after only a few songs, her face was already flushed and she was out of breath, so she had to lean on Kitagawa Yu.

"Alright, calm down for a bit, the real show hasn't even started yet~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun playfully made a face at him, and her curiosity about B-chan grew even stronger.

Around 8:30, it was finally B-Komachi's turn to appear.

"coming!"

Kitagawa Yu's spirits lifted, and his aura noticeably changed.

Xiao Xun, who had been leaning against him to rest because she was tired, looked at him in surprise for a moment, then stood up straight and looked curiously at the girls who had just entered.

They all wore matching red bubble dresses and were about the same height, but at a glance, Xiao Xun immediately noticed the girl standing in the center, with long blue-purple hair and stunning looks.

The girl's amethyst-like eyes held starlight, and even the dazzling lights around the stage could not dim the brilliance in them.

"like--!!!"

A dozen or so fans, wearing the same headbands as Kitagawa Yu and holding red light sticks, had somehow taken up the front of the stage and started shouting in unison.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to make the floor beneath one's feet tremble slightly.

"Master, is it her?" Xiao Xun turned her head curiously to look at Kitagawa Yu and asked.

There's no way around it; compared to the other three members, Xiao Ai is simply far more outstanding. Even compared to the center positions of other groups that have appeared, Xiao Ai is in a league of her own, far surpassing the others.

"Yes, her name is Hoshino Ai. Although she's not very famous yet, she's destined to become a legendary idol in the future!"

Xiao Xun looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but show a look of surprise in her eyes.

Although she sensed that Ai was likely to be very capable, given Ai's stunning looks, Kitagawa Yu's assessment of Ai still exceeded her expectations.

This made her chuckle, and while she became even more curious about Xiao Ai, a strange feeling of sourness welled up in her heart.

In particular, after scanning the dozen or so fans, Xiao Ai also spotted Kitagawa Yu not far away.

While surprised, the formulaic sweet smile on her face instantly transformed into a genuine smile of joy, and the starlight in her eyes became incomparably brilliant, shining like the sun, or like a black hole, firmly drawing everyone's attention.

At this moment, even fans of other idol groups couldn't help but be attracted by Xiao Ai's smile, their hearts skipping a beat.

That was the feeling of your heart fluttering!

"She's just pretty, I'm not bad either~" Xiao Xun couldn't help but pout, muttering to herself.

However, she soon realized she was wrong, because Xiao Ai's basic skills were really impressive.

She didn't know much about dancing, but she felt that Xiao Ai was significantly better than the idols she had seen before.
