Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"No, how could someone as intelligent as me forget something so important!"

"It must be the will of the world secretly interfering to prevent Conan from being plucked bald by me."

"Yes, that's right, that's it!"

Kitagawa let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much better immediately.

So sometimes you can't really blame yourself for deceiving yourself. After all, just fooling yourself can make a depressed mood happy, which is just too good to pass up, isn't it?

It's like when you stay up all night playing games, you can immediately reap tons of happiness just by deceiving yourself a little.

In the following days, two new hot gossips emerged at the school, as expected.

The first one is Ayako Asuka, the aloof and academically gifted goddess known as the 'Elf Princess'. These past few days, she's been spending all her time reading various comics and anime, whether in class or not, and they're not works aimed at girls, but purely aimed at boys!

They're even more exaggerated, more obsessed, and more unrestrained than the most die-hard otaku in school!

This left everyone stunned and bewildered, yet secretly thrilled.

The girls were excited because of Ayako's 'fall from grace'. The perfect being they could only look up to had finally become someone they could despise and laugh at, so of course they were excited.

However, the boys had a different opinion.

Except for a very small number of boys, most boys, even if they don't read comics or watch anime much, won't look down on them too much.

Ayako's obsession with comics and anime, while slightly lowering the image of her as their goddess, unexpectedly made them feel much closer to her.

Simply put, it has become more down-to-earth.

So Ayako became more popular among the boys.

The second hot topic of gossip is about Yukiko Asuka.

Thanks to the karate club being the largest club in the entire school, with a large number of members, the news that Kitagawa Yu was expelled from the club due to frequent absences from club activities quickly spread throughout the school via group announcements.

Of course, people themselves didn't really care about this news.

After all, Kitagawa Yu's strength is undeniable. He knocked out the vice-captain and captain, Kamiki Daisuke, in one move and can also deliver a world-class powerful shot. Such strength is definitely greater than everyone in the current karate club.

So after seeing this message, people secretly despised Daisuke Kamiki for being petty.

This almost caused Daisuke Kamiki to shoot himself in the foot. He was furious at the scornful looks he always received from the corner.

Especially after news spread that Kitagawa Yu joined the kendo club and defeated Tendo Yui, the club's second-best kendo player, in a second, who was said to have the strength of a contemporary swordsman, everyone looked down on Kamiki Daisuke and the karate club president even more.

Those members who cared more about the club's achievements and honors couldn't help but complain about letting go of Kitagawa Yu, a karate expert who could have brought honor to the club and the school.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The key point is that everyone quickly noticed that after joining the kendo club, Kitagawa Yuuka became increasingly close to Asuka Yukiko, who was the club president.

They became so close that they ate and chatted together during lunch breaks and after school, and even sent each other messages during class.

This left everyone, both boys and girls, completely stunned.

Especially the boys in Yukiko's class, seeing that Yukiko's smile became noticeably happier and more excited every time she texted Kitagawa Yu, the sweetness level of which increased dozens of levels, they were almost on the verge of a breakdown.

"Could it be that Lady Yukiko has also fallen for Kitagawa Yu?!" This unbelievable thought couldn't help but pop into everyone's heads.

This is the eldest daughter of the Asuka family, the designated next head of the clan!

If Ayako is a noble and aloof fairy princess, then Yukiko is undoubtedly a queen full of affability and dominance.

It's already outrageous enough that an elf princess would fall for a mere mortal and actively pursue him.

How could Her Majesty the Queen fall in love with a mere mortal?

What's more, it's the same person!

"hiss--"

"My God! If Kiko-sama really does fall for Kitagawa Yu too, wouldn't that mean the two sisters are together?"

"???"

"!!!"

Chapter 152 But she's my own sister!

The thought of this possibility shocked everyone even more. At the same time, an unprecedented sense of bitterness and resentment made all the boys in the school wish they could kill Kitagawa Yu and take his place.

In no time, the spread of these two pieces of gossip made the school twice as lively during breaks and after school.

However, Ayako, Yukiko, and Kitagawa Yu, who were directly involved, appeared remarkably calm.

Because they all know the truth behind this situation.

"No! Double speed is still too slow! How about we find someone to make a player that can play at four or eight times the speed?"

“Yukiko has liked these things since she was seven years old. She would stay up late almost every night to watch them without her family’s knowledge. It’s impossible for me to catch up with or surpass her in a short period of time.”

"Therefore, the best approach is to first watch the current season's most popular anime series and the currently serialized hit manga, and then, based on these, find outstanding works of the same genre from the past."

At midnight, Ayako sat quietly at her desk, multitasking, watching the rapidly changing images on her computer screen while pondering how to speed up her binge-watching of anime.

This made Yukiko, who had sneaked in wanting to make a joke, unable to stand it any longer.

"You idiot Ayako, this isn't how you watch anime!"

Under Ayako's disapproving gaze, Yukiko reached out and took off her headphones.

"What do you mean?" Ayako asked, her brows furrowing slightly.

“It means exactly what it says!” Yukiko said. “You can’t truly like anime or the world of 2D like this. It’s useless to force yourself to learn these ‘knowledge’ just so you can have more things in common with Yuta.”

"In that case, you won't be able to understand Yu's feelings and thoughts when you chat with her, and you still won't be able to have a conversation with her."

"Is that so?" Ayako looked at Yukiko suspiciously.

She felt that what Yukiko said made a little bit of sense, but not much, and when did Yukiko become so kind?

Yukiko immediately saw through her thoughts and puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"You don't believe me?"

"Yes~"

"I'm your own sister! How could I possibly lie to you about something so important!"

"But you've tricked me a lot on such 'big things' before, haven't you? Do I need to list them all? You should know that I have a very good memory."

"."

Yukiko was speechless.

Although, this time she really did it for Ayako's sake!

She didn't want Ayako to lose to other girls in the battle for Kitagawa Yu!

But Ayako actually dared to doubt her!

This hurt her deeply!

Yukiko sulked for a while, then seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she picked up her phone with a grin.

"Then I'll have Yu tell you. Besides, you probably don't know Yu's 'true colors' yet, right?"

Across from her, Ayako paused for a moment.

"Let the senior talk to me? It's already past midnight! And what does the senior mean by 'his true colors'?"

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough!" Yukiko said mysteriously, her long, slender, white fingers, as white as mutton fat jade, rapidly tapping on the phone screen.

Thanks to her frequent texting with Kitagawa Yu recently, she can even type much faster on her phone than before!

Under the cool moonlight, Kitagawa Yu and Murasame traversed the city, just beginning their hunt for the night.

The night breeze, carrying a hint of chill, blew past his ears, making him feel extremely comfortable. His robust physique also made him feel no fatigue whatsoever.

After all, he also catches up on sleep during the day while he's in class!

Dynamic music blasted from the headphones; it was Ayako's "Monster," which she released last night, and Ai's "Idol," which she released tonight.

These two songs are currently doing very well on the new song charts.

With the groundwork laid by the previous two songs, Ayako now has nearly 30 fans. So, since its release last night, "Monster" has already exceeded 20 paid downloads in just one day, making it incredibly popular.

However, no one, including Xiao Ai herself, expected that "Idol" would become even more popular than "Monster".

Thanks to Ayako and Yuna's recommendation, Ai and her friends' song "Ready!!" released on Monday has already garnered over 10,000 paid downloads in the past three days. Although this is several times more than their previous achievements, it is clearly not on the same level as "Running Towards Night," "Renai Circulation," or "KICK BACK."

But "Idol" is different. It was uploaded at 9 p.m. and by just past midnight, the number of paid downloads had already exceeded 80,000. In the new day's daily sales chart, it surpassed "Monster" by a large margin.

Even he was somewhat surprised by such a result.

At this rate, Xiao Ai's "Idol" might soon surpass "Running Towards the Night" in total sales, becoming the best-selling song among all the ones he has uploaded.

Unable to understand it, he could only attribute this situation to the different tastes in Japan.

However, the sight of "Monster" and "Idol" "fighting each other" on the charts once again shocked the entire Japanese music and idol industry.

For ordinary people, they might just feel that in the past month, a lot of great new songs have suddenly appeared, and many of them are at the level of the best songs of the year.

But for professionals, the name Yu Kitagawa is far more impactful than 'Blue Star Band', 'Yuna Shimizu', 'B Komachi', or 'Ai Hoshino'.

Ordinary people usually only look at who the singer is when they listen to a song, and rarely look at the lyrics, composition, and arrangement.

But those professionals won't miss it.

So recently, they've produced eight hit songs in a row. Apart from "ready! !", the rest are all monthly and annual best-selling hits. That's freaking amazing.

Even if it was written in advance, it's still quite remarkable.

Many top lyricists and composers in the industry probably couldn't produce even half of their masterpieces in a year or two.

However, Kitagawa Yu's 'public' information is that he is the music director of Asuka Entertainment, so no one has dared to contact him to ask for songs or anything like that, as for poaching people.

The power and influence of the Asuka family goes without saying.

The existence of gods is absolutely known to the upper echelons of this world. The Asuka family is one of the most important forces under the Inari God. Who would dare to offend them?

"Ding dong!"

Just as Kitagawa Yu was immersed in Ai's sweet singing, a new message notification suddenly came through his earphones.

"Huh? Didn't I tell that guy to go to sleep? Could he really be too excited to sleep?" Kitagawa Yu thought to himself as he reached into his pocket.
