Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

If it's really as she thinks, and Kitagawa Yuya is a priest under some god like Yukiko, then wouldn't he also be unable to freely fall in love and need the god's permission?

"this."

A flicker of hesitation crossed Kitagawa Yu's mind as he considered whether or not to reveal his secret.

He absolutely trusted Ayako. If Ayako were the only one there, he could tell her without hesitation that he was not a priest but the goddess of prayer.

But if Xizi were here, and most importantly, there was a large, white fox crouching in the corner not far away, he would have to think about it carefully.

Yukiko is someone he can trust, but the problem is that as a shrine maiden who has signed a 'contract of servitude,' she cannot disobey the will of Inari.

In this way, Inari God can obtain information about himself from Yukiko at any time, and learn the secrets that Yukiko knows, whenever he wants.

With this in mind, Kitagawa Yu had no choice but to abandon his original idea.

"more or less!"

This answer immediately made Ayako nervous.

"Then, senior, you..."

Ayako wanted to ask, but she couldn't quite bring herself to say it.

In the end, Yukiko saw through her thoughts, patted her on the back, and asked Kitagawa Yu with a grin, "This idiot just wants to ask you if it's okay to be in a relationship~"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback by these words, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean priests can't fall in love?"

This time it was Yukiko's turn to give him a strange look and say, "Yes, although priests have a higher status than shrine maidens, many gods, especially female gods, also forbid priests from falling in love or getting married. What, Yu, aren't you restricted?"

"Hmm, my goddess has never asked me to do that," Kitagawa Yu subconsciously touched her nose, and the image of a certain silly goddess girl involuntarily popped into her mind.

Meanwhile, several kilometers away, a certain silly goddess girl, who was sitting on the altar, swinging her two fair and tender legs, eating the fresh peach buns that Ayumi had just replaced when she cleaned the shrine that morning, and spying on the screen through the 'internet cable', suddenly pouted unhappily.

"This guy is clearly a god himself, and his divine power and rank are higher than mine. How can I possibly restrain him? If he really is just my priest, just wait and see."

A silly goddess girl took a big bite of the peach bun in her hand, and just then she saw the thin but very clear red thread wrapped around her finger. Her face immediately turned red, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, Yukiko had already figured out the reason in her mind, and said with a grin, "That's probably because the god Yu serves is the God of Bonds~"

As she spoke, a hint of envy flashed in Yukiko's eyes, while Ayako, standing beside her, let out a long sigh of relief, her tense mood instantly relaxing.

Only then did she realize that Yukiko had directly seen through her thoughts, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

However, considering that Yukiko had indeed helped her a lot, she only made a small mental note of Yukiko's actions and decided to let Yukiko off the hook for the time being.

But Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized that this was a perfect opportunity to help Yukiko!

"So, you're saying you can't have a free relationship, senior?" Kitagawa Yu asked, deliberately frowning.

"That's right, I'm the shrine maiden of Inari-sama, so of course I need Inari-sama's permission before I can date anyone~"

Yukiko stuck out her tongue with a smile. Although she seemed completely unconcerned because Shiro was right next to her, she was actually quite annoyed and frustrated inside.

"That's so pitiful!"

After a pause, Kitagawa Yu glanced at Murasame, who had been following him. Seeing Murasame smile slightly and nod at him, he continued, "I've heard Murasame say that she's quite familiar with Inari-sama. If you need me, I can ask Murasame to plead with Inari-sama."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ayako, Yukiko, and the spirit fox Shiro in the corner all felt a strange emotion rising in their hearts.

Ayako and Yukiko felt that Kitagawa Yu was being a little too proactive.

"However, he's always been very gentle, and he's recently become good friends with Yukiko, so it's not surprising that he would say that."

The little white fox was quite puzzled, wondering when Murasame had become so familiar with her master, Inari.

That was once a demonic blade that unleashed bloodshed and killed countless gods! Although many gods would secretly approach her, make deals with her, and ask her to do things that they couldn't do themselves.

But this absolutely does not include Inari, who has a large family business and many subordinates.

On the contrary, the Inari God is quite wary of this demonic sword of slaughter.

After all, Murasame is now ridiculously strong. She is at the peak of Lv5, just like her and Amaterasu. Moreover, she is different from the increasingly weak Amaterasu and Murasame, whose divine power is vast but somewhat mixed.

Murasame is just one step away from breaking through to Lv6, making her the one with the greatest potential among the three.

If Murasame really manages to break through to Lv6, then even she and Amaterasu might be able to kill her completely.

At that time, Murasame, who had mastered the rules of killing, could even directly sever the cognition and memories of her and Amaterasu in the hearts of all living beings, and then they would have no way to be resurrected.

Therefore, Inari Goddess never asked Murasame for help or for Murasame to obtain divine power from her.

Xiaobai, who has followed Inari for hundreds of years, knows this very well.

However, looking at the quiet and peaceful Murasame, like a quietly blooming Udumbara flower, and thinking about the terrifying legends surrounding Murasame, she swallowed hard and decisively gave up the idea of ​​asking.

"I'm just a lowly level 3 fox demon. Even if Lady Tamamo-no-Mae evolved to level 5, she wouldn't be a match for this guy. So, I shouldn't meddle in the affairs of these powerful beings. After all, even if Inari-sama dies, she can be resurrected, and I can continue to serve the next Inari-sama. But if I die, I can't be resurrected," Shiro thought to himself.

Ayako, however, was thinking of something else.

That is.

"Huh! If Kiko were allowed to date, she probably wouldn't keep bothering and bullying me, right?"

With that thought, Ayako's eyes immediately lit up. Before Yukiko, the person involved, could even speak, she excitedly blurted out, "Really? Senpai! Please, I beg you! You must help my sister!"

"Uh"

Kitagawa Yu didn't think much of it, assuming that Ayako still cared about Yukiko, but Yukiko clearly didn't think so.

Seeing that Ayako was even more anxious than she was, three big question marks immediately appeared on her forehead.

"What kind of trick is this guy up to?"

Unfortunately, Yukiko also lacked mind-reading abilities, so even with her brilliant mind and understanding of Ayako, she couldn't figure out Ayako's thought process for a while. In the end, she could only remain on guard while discussing with Kitagawa Yu how to proceed.

Of course, since Shiro was still by her side, her words were relatively normal. She didn't say anything, but instead told Kitagawa Yu to take a sword and attack Fushimi Inari Shrine. She also said that if Inari God dared to disagree, he should kill Inari God.

This made Xiaobai, who was standing to the side, breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Otherwise, she wasn't sure if she should keep listening. What if she heard something she shouldn't have and got killed beforehand?

"In that case... well, I'll report to Inari-sama later!" Shiro thought to himself.

The final decision Kitagawa Yu and the other two made was to wait until his deal with Amaterasu was over before going to find Inari.

This was actually a deliberate act by them, allowing Shiro to report to Inari and give Inari time to prepare.

As for the worst-case scenario, such as Inari God refusing to agree, threats will be useless, and using Yukiko's soul will make him hesitate to act.

He would first use his wish power to protect Yukiko, and then together with Murasame, kill this guy!

However, based on Yukiko's understanding of Inari, who is in charge of 'harvest,' 'commerce,' and 'wealth,' and is known for her shrewdness, she would not do something so destructive.

"Then it's settled!" Half an hour later, Kitagawa Yu, who had discussed the matter with Yukiko, prepared to leave and continue hunting monsters.

"As for Ayako, if she wants to try to like anime and manga, then let's watch them together during lunch break and after rehearsals."

Ayako naturally had no objections, and a happy smile appeared on her face as she was about to agree.

But the next second, her smile froze on her face.

"That's a great idea! I want to join too!"

"Why are you everywhere?!"

Ayako couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yukiko.

This scene almost made Kitagawa Yu laugh out loud again.

"Ayako looks even cuter like this."

Requesting recommendations and monthly votes.

Chapter 154 Little Love Under the Morning Light

Remember to get some rest!

"Okay, senior, I understand."

Smiling, Kitagawa Yu waved to Ayako and Yukiko, then leaped out of the window. In mid-air, golden lightning flashed around him once more. He then tapped his toes in the air, and like an arrow released from a bow, he and Murasame, who was floating beside him, quickly disappeared into the night.

After he left, Xiaobai also quietly disappeared and left Ayako's room.

"Great master, your loyal servant Xiaobai has very important news to report to you."

Hundreds of kilometers away in Kyoto, on Mount Fushimi, if Kitagawa Yu came here, and passed through the iconic Senbon Torii gates to enter the shrine, he would find that the Fushimi Inari Shrine in this world is far more magnificent and splendid than the Fushimi Inari Shrine he had visited in the Conan world.

Many of the buildings retain their antique charm without showing any signs of damage from the passage of time, clearly indicating that they have been meticulously maintained with a large amount of manpower and resources.

Inside the main store, which was even more magnificent than the Emperor's residence, Inari God, dressed in an expensive kimono and adorned with golden hair ornaments, who was kneeling on a cushion, focused on refining the vast amount of faith power she collected each day into divine power, suddenly paused and stopped.

"What news? Is there any new development from Amaterasu's side?"

The Inari God did not open her eyes, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she used the power of the contract to communicate telepathically with Xiaobai.

"No, Master, it's not news from Amaterasu, but about the Demon Blade of Slaughter. No, it should be about your priestess, Yukiko Asuka."

"Oh?" The Inari God's eyebrows twitched, and he finally slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes as bright as the moon, sparkling with curiosity.

"Yukiko and the Demon Blade of Slaughter?"

Yes, that's right, that's how it is.

Xiaobai quickly and thoroughly told Inari about Kitagawa Yu's identity and everything that had happened.

As the Inari Goddess listened, a look of interest was clearly revealed on her exquisitely beautiful face, which combined elegance and charm.

"That weak idiot Enmusubi, who even the Amaterasu faction looks down on, is still alive? And she even made a contract with a priest with spiritual power, and this priest is even close to the Demon Blade Princess? How interesting!" Inari God muttered to herself.

"Then, Master, what do you think we should do about this? I mean, is there anything Yukiko needs me to do?" Xiaobai asked somewhat.

“No need,” Inari said calmly. “You don’t need to do anything about this. Just continue to assist Yukiko in monitoring the movements of Amaterasu’s camp.”

"As for the love permit that Yukiko wants, that depends on what she can offer me. If she can persuade that priest and the demon sword princess to join my camp directly, then I might as well give her that permit."

After a pause, Inari God continued, "If they come to you, just tell them to come see me. I want to see the priest who can establish a close relationship with the Demon Sword Princess in person."

"Yes, Master." Little White secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After ending the telepathic call, it couldn't help but raise its paw to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from its forehead.

As a 'weak' spirit fox, she had no desire to get involved in the affairs of such important figures.

This is the survival strategy she has summarized over hundreds of years.

In a great mood, Shiro decided to go for a walk outside. But then she remembered that Kitagawa Yuu had been leading Murasame out to hunt monsters these past few days.

Although she believed that with her beautiful, glowing fur and exquisite, work-of-art-like appearance, she shouldn't be considered a monster, she was indeed a monster in essence, and the power she used was demonic power.
