Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

The visuals initially seemed a bit odd, but after looking at them for a while, they unexpectedly felt quite harmonious.

Kitagawa Yu initially planned to just give a few perfunctory replies and leave, since he still had to continue hunting monsters with Murasame. But who knew that they would find themselves unable to stop talking once they started.

Furthermore, Murasame didn't seem impatient at all; on the contrary, she was quite interested in what the two were talking about.

So the conversation went on until the phone ran out of battery, and the sky was already beginning to lighten.

During that time, he and Yukiko recommended their favorite anime and manga to each other, and then the two of them recommended them to Murasame together.

He didn't know how Yukiko and Murasame felt in the end, but he himself thoroughly enjoyed the conversation.

After all, Anya was the only person around him who truly liked anime and comics.

Yuna is quite good at drawing, but besides going to school, she is also busy with tutoring and work, so she doesn't have much time to read comics and watch anime.

The number of times it's been viewed is less than Anya's.

On the other hand, although Yukiko did have ulterior motives at first, she had long since put the matter out of her mind as they talked.

After all, romance is nowhere near as interesting as anime!

Previously, due to her social status, she could only chat with strangers online. This was the first time she had been able to chat freely with friends she knew in real life.

As for Murasame, she genuinely didn't feel bored at all.

It wasn't that she had developed a liking for comics and anime; she simply enjoyed sitting next to Kitagawa Yu like a friend, chatting relaxedly under the stars.

Just looking at Kitagawa Yu's excited expression, she couldn't help but smile.

But once the excitement wore off, things got a little tough for Yukiko.

"Oh! Is it already almost six o'clock?"

"I can only sleep for an hour at most. Forget it, I'm not sleeping!"

"Let's practice breathing techniques!"

Yukiko checked the time and decided to make use of this hour to practice her newly acquired Flower Breathing technique.

However, she forgot that while breathing techniques can help unlock the body's potential, they require intense focus in the early stages before they become a habit, in order to ensure that the breathing rhythm is correct. This is actually very mentally taxing.

Although Yukiko only trained for an hour, which isn't a long time, considering she had stayed up all night earlier, the result was...

"Did you stay up all night watching anime again last night?"

While having breakfast, Ayako, sitting across from Yukiko, looked at her with disgust and contempt as Yukiko kept yawning and wiping away tears.

"He's about to graduate high school, and he still likes this kind of thing~"

"hehe."

Normally, Yukiko might have tolerated it; those who don't understand the charm of anime and manga can't comprehend it.

But today...

"I wasn't staying up all night watching anime," Yukiko said with a grin, her eyes twinkling. "I was talking on the phone with Yu, and we ended up chatting all night!"

Across from her, Ayako, who had just picked up her glass to take a sip of juice, paused, her face instantly turning cold.

"This joke isn't funny at all!"

Yukiko's smile remained unchanged as she continued to tease her in her incredibly sweet, yet pure and unpretentious voice, "I'm not kidding, look, I have call records here~"

As she spoke, Yukiko picked up her phone, opened the call interface, and waved it in front of Ayako.

Ayako has excellent eyesight, so she immediately spotted the call log between Yukiko and Kitagawa Yu.

"It really is my senior's number! And they talked for almost three hours, from 3:00 to 5:40?!" Ayako's pupils dilated instantly, and then her expression turned even colder.

What did you and your senior talk about?

"Of course, Yuuko and I were talking about secrets~" Yukiko chuckled, and her answer was not unexpected by Ayako, but it still made Ayako's fists hard.

"No. I can't beat her. Calm down, being impulsive will only make her bully me more." Ayako tried to regulate her breathing and stay calm.

Otherwise, she really would have punched that face that others found incredibly cute, but which she found utterly obnoxious.

As for the result, Yukiko grabbed him and pinned him down, then spanked him.

"But if you say something nice, I might be able to tell you~"

Ayako's eye twitched. It wasn't a problem with calling out a couple of nice-sounding words, but the key point was the "maybe" at the end. What if Yukiko still wouldn't say anything after she called out?

If it were anything else, she would definitely weigh whether or not to call, and to avoid being tricked, she might just give up.

But Yukiko and Kitagawa Yu chatted for so long in the middle of the night, she had to know what they talked about! Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do anything else for the next few days!

"Please, dear sister, please tell me!"

Ayako took a deep breath, trying to soften her expression and voice. It's no exaggeration to say that her acting skills far surpassed Ai's by a mile.

A look of surprise flashed across Yukiko's eyes, followed by a mischievous smile that made Ayako feel uneasy.

"My foolish sister, didn't I already tell you? The things we talked about were secrets between Yu and me, how could I tell you~"

"you--"

Ayako slammed her hand on the table, her temper flaring up instantly. She didn't know why, but in front of Yukiko, she just couldn't suppress her true emotions and was particularly prone to getting angry.

However, before she could make a move, Yukiko preemptively said, "But since you're so clumsy, let me give you some pointers. Tell me, has Yuta been talking to you about music for this long?"

Ayako was taken aback by what she heard, and a multitude of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

"You mean you were talking about anime with your senior last night?"

Ayako was still a little unsure, after all, she really hadn't realized how much Kitagawa Yu liked anime.

And even if you really like someone, it wouldn't be right to stay up at 3 a.m. and talk on the phone for two or three hours, would it?

"You wouldn't understand the charm of anime even if I explained it to you, but Yu has never talked to you about music for this long before, yet he talked to me about anime until his phone died and shut down. Doesn't that speak for itself?"

"."

"Thank you!" Ayako said suddenly after a moment of silence.

Then, under Yukiko's questioning gaze, he didn't even eat breakfast and stood up abruptly.

"Why are you going?"

"Lend me those comic books in your room."

"???"

Yukiko's eyes widened instantly.

Although she finally had the opportunity to "guide" Ayako onto the right path and let her understand the charm of anime, the two sisters were finally able to have common topics from then on.

but

"Can not be done!!!"

"Those are all collector's editions! I bought them to keep as treasures! If you want to see them, I'll get you another set—"

One set to look at, and one set to collect – that's so typical of anime and manga culture.

As they were talking, Yukiko forgot about continuing her meal, grabbed a tuna sandwich, and chased after them.

Just kidding, even if she's my sister, you can't touch her treasured comics!

Unless Ayako can truly come to love anime and manga, instead of just using them as tools as she does now.

This is a desecration of her treasured comic books! She deserves to be burned at the stake!

So, two hours later, at the school classroom.

When Ayako reads manga in class, and then pulls out her tablet, puts on her headphones, and starts watching anime at double speed after class, everyone in her class is dumbfounded.

Chapter 149 Face the blast!

"Huh? Ayako, what are you looking at?"

"Anime? I'm catching up on it." Ayako looked up, took off one earphone, smiled at the girl in front of her, and said.

The girl's eyes widened instantly.

"Anime? Watching anime? Ayako, you like anime?!"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Ayako readily admitted that she liked Kitagawa Yu, and Kitagawa Yu liked anime, so rounding up, that meant she liked anime, right?

"Uh, no, no," the girl stammered.

But is it really okay? There's a huge problem!

A top student, a cool and aloof goddess, a rich heiress—how could someone like that like watching anime? And so openly as to watch it in the classroom?!

Even those otaku wouldn't dare to be this bold!

Without a doubt, otaku, shut-ins, and otakus are even lower than delinquents in the school's hierarchy of contempt; they are arguably the lowest level.

This is actually no different from high schools in the neighboring country of China.

However, it's different if you're a light novel author, manga artist, or game scriptwriter.

Because this identity can earn money, and is likely to earn a lot of money, it's already a job.

Of course, if it were Ayako, it would be a different story. What kind of job could a rich heiress do? Even if she became an idol or an entertainer, no one would say anything. But if she became a manga artist or a light novel writer, people would be absolutely shocked.

However, Ayako didn't care what anyone thought.

Her willingness to talk to and smile at these people is merely out of social politeness, and does not necessarily mean that she has a good relationship with them.

Let alone compared to the person she likes, even compared to Chizuka, Elena, Anya, or her three teammates, the entire school combined is not as important as any one of them.

So why care about the opinions and gossip of unimportant people?

Ignoring the girl's shocked expression and all the glances directed at her from around her, Ayako put her headphones back on and continued watching the anime in her hands.

After receiving some "tips" from Yukiko this morning, she thought about many things carefully and had a vague understanding in her heart.

"Although my senior can write songs and compose music, these may not be his true passions, just like how I may have studied flower arranging and tea ceremony, but I don't actually enjoy them."

She naturally understands that professional skills are not the same as hobbies.
