Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

So, for her own safety, she resolutely chose to follow her heart and continue to stay at Yukiko's house without going out.

Clearly, with Yukiko and Kitagawa's relationship growing stronger, this place has now become one of the safest spots in all of Tokyo.

It is worth mentioning that although Yukiko is the shrine maiden of Inari, she does not have any spiritual power of her own, so the extraordinary power she usually uses comes from her demonic power.

After all, although Inari Goddess has great divine power, she also has many shrine maidens under her command! If each of them borrows her divine power all the time, it would be a considerable expense!

Kitagawa Yu hunted all night long, not returning until 5 a.m.

However, compared to the first day, his efficiency inevitably decreased significantly, and he only managed to kill 17 monsters throughout the entire night.

There's nothing that can be done about it. After all, several days have passed, and those originally chosen monsters certainly won't stay in the same place waiting for him to come knocking. Many have already followed behind humans, sucking their life essence and souls.

To deal with these monsters, he needs to enter their homes.

Those living in detached houses are fine, but those living in high-end apartment buildings face more difficulties, so often they have to give up and choose other options.

In addition, he only targeted level 1 monsters, so in the past four days, he only killed 79 monsters in total. It will take at least two more days to complete the transaction.

"But Yukiko-senpai probably isn't in a hurry, right? She doesn't seem to have anyone she likes yet."

Back in his room, Kitagawa Yu stretched and changed his clothes. He planned to lie down for a while and get up at 6:30 to go downstairs with Chizuka to prepare breakfast for everyone.

After all, if the food is prepared too early, it will get cold if others don't get up in time.

Recently, influenced by his habits, Chizuka and the others have also abandoned their original monotonous and boring Japanese breakfast recipes and started eating hot noodles, rice noodles, soy milk and fried dough sticks instead.

He had only been lying down for less than half an hour, and it was just around six o'clock. Before his alarm even went off, his phone beeped with a message.

"Who the hell is this?"

"Yukiko-senpai?"

"No, Yukiko-senpai shouldn't be so 'rude'."

Perhaps it was because Yukiko was the last person he saw last night, but the first thing Kitagawa Yu thought of when he picked up his phone was Yukiko's sweet smile.

However, he soon realized that although Yukiko liked to talk to him about anime, and would get so excited that her eyes would light up when she did, she wouldn't do anything as impolite as disturbing him so early.

At most, I'll just chat with him all night.

so.

"Ha, I knew it!"

Kitagawa Yu rubbed his eyes, picked up his phone, glanced at the screen, and gave a helpless smile.

As expected, the message was from Xiao Ai. Although it was just a simple "Good morning," he could tell from those two words and the time that Xiao Ai had been holding back for a long time.

That's understandable, given how well "Idol" performed.

Actually, he checked the performance of "Idol" on his way back. Even though it was late at night or early morning, the number of paid downloads of "Idol" had increased by more than 20,000, and the total number of paid downloads had exceeded 110,000.

If it were him, he would definitely be so excited he couldn't sleep.

Xiao Ai has already shown great restraint by waiting until now to 'harass' him.

"You're up early! You seem to have a lot of energy. That's perfect. I need your help with something."

Kitagawa Yu's lips curled into a wicked smile as he sent the message along with his location.

"Huh? What's up?"

You'll see when you get here~

Without the slightest hesitation, while wondering why Kitagawa Yu wanted to call her over so early, Xiao Ai quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and went out the door, heading over according to the address.

So, fifteen minutes later, she changed out of her somewhat dowdy hoodie and sweatpants into a traditional red and white shrine maiden outfit, and with a broom as tall as her chin in hand, she began sweeping the shrine's courtyard with a resentful expression.

"That senior went too far, actually tricking me into coming to clean the courtyard!"

"Wait, when did I lie to you? When I asked for your help, I meant I wanted you to help me clean the yard," Kitagawa Yu denied with a smile.

"But I thought you called me over so early to do something lewd~"

"You're overthinking it!"

Kitagawa Yu was immediately exasperated and gave her a light tap on the head.

How could he be that kind of person!

but

Looking at Ai, who had changed into a shrine maiden outfit and was bathed in the soft morning sunlight, seemingly blending completely into the surrounding scenery and looking even sweeter and more charming, he suddenly couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

"senior--"

Because she grew up in a single-parent family and was later abandoned by her abusive mother and moved into an orphanage, Ai is exceptionally perceptive of other people's gazes and immediately noticed the change in Kitagawa Yu's eyes.

Feeling a surge of sweetness in her heart, Xiao Ai, though a little shy, mustered her courage and took the initiative to move closer to Kitagawa Yu.

A yellowing leaf drifted down in the wind, and the two people in the courtyard couldn't help but embrace and kiss.

And if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is definitely going to happen.

Just as Kitagawa Yu was embracing Ai's slender waist and savoring her soft, moist pink lips, his cell phone suddenly rang at an inopportune moment.

"Damn it, who is this?!"

Kitagawa Yu reluctantly released Ai and took out his phone from his pocket.

Although she knew Kitagawa Yu wasn't talking about her, Ai still blushed and stuck out her tongue shyly after hearing it.

"Master!! Help me~~~"

"what happened?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, it was Xiao Xun who called, and she immediately started yelling for help.

Judging from her strong and calm voice, she didn't seem to be in any danger at all.

Moreover, he placed a Conan-branded amulet on Xiao Xun the next day, making it impossible for monsters to harm her.

"Master, I was screaming for help! Your reaction is too calm!" Xiao Xun on the other end of the phone seemed to be taken aback by Kitagawa Yu's reaction. She didn't speak again for two or three seconds, complaining with great displeasure.

"Hearing you say that, I knew I was right. Okay, what is it? Tell me quickly, I'm still busy cleaning the yard~"

"Oh, cleaning the yard?"

"The courtyard of the shrine."

"Oh, oh!" Xiao Xun immediately realized and said with a grin, "Master, you're so pitiful! Isn't cleaning the shrine a priestess's job? You, as a priest, still have to clean the shrine. Doesn't your family's shrine even have a part-time priestess?"

Kitagawa Yu was immediately speechless.

"If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you~" Xiao Xun quickly said, "But Master, if you beg me, I can work part-time as a shrine maiden at your family's shrine after I recover and am discharged from the hospital~"

“Last night, Watari called me. He wants to invite me to the school festival.”

"School festival?" Kitagawa Yu was taken aback, glanced at Ai, and asked curiously, "Isn't your school's festival on the 14th? That's next Saturday, right?"

"Huh? Master, how did you know the date of our school's campus festival?" Xiao Xun was surprised at first, but then she realized something.

"Ah! I know, Ai told you, right! But the school festival I, Ryo-kun, was talking about isn't at Kurumigaoka Elementary School, it's at our school," Kaoru explained.

"Huh? Elementary schools have school festivals too?"

"It's called a school festival, but it's really just a talent show. Kurumigaoka Elementary School is one of the most famous arts elementary schools in Tokyo. Every year, many famous artists come to watch the performance, and even TV people come to broadcast it live."

Kitagawa Yu finally remembered: wasn't this the performance in the anime where Arima Kousei and his disciple Aiza Nagi performed a four-hand piano duet, rekindling Kaoru's passion for music?

Sure enough, he then heard Xiao Xun continue, "I felt something was strange, so I asked her carefully. It turns out that Gong Sheng is going to perform with his disciple at the show and wants to invite me to watch. Master, do you think I should go?"

Kitagawa Yu thought for a moment, and realized that although Kaoru no longer needed Arima Kousei to save her, he couldn't save her anyway.

However, running away wasn't the solution, so he still said, "I can tell from your phone call that you've already made your choice, haven't you?"

"."

Xiao Xun on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Yes, if she didn't want to go, why was she so conflicted? Why did she even call Kitagawa Yu?

"But. But"

"Going to see it won't hurt, but I know you'll regret it later if you don't go."

After listening, Xiao Xun fell silent again.

Although she felt a bit pathetic and didn't want to admit it, she knew that Kitagawa Yu was right; if she didn't go, she would definitely regret it in the future.

"Then, Master, could you come with me?"

Chapter 155 Xiaoxun's Request

Xiao Xun's request surprised Kitagawa Yu for a moment.

"Didn't Watari Ryo-kun invite you to go together?" Kitagawa Yu asked.

"That's true, but now that I'm not going to die, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to continue deceiving Watari-kun?"

"Hmm, that seems to be true," Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.

Kaoru originally did this because she didn't have much time left, and she wanted to save Kousei Arima and help the former genius recover. So, before she died, she acted a little willfully and lied to Ryota Watari.

But now that Arima Kousei has recovered, and her own illness will be cured soon, it seems a bit immoral to deceive Watari Ryota again.

After all, Ryota Watari has a girlfriend.

“Alright then, what about the time?” Kitagawa Yu asked.

"It will start at 2 PM today and end at 6 PM."

"Are you sure it's today, not tomorrow?"

"Yes, Master, you must have time. You wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

Hearing Xiao Xun's pitiful voice, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll come pick you up after lunch."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xun's voice on the other end of the phone immediately regained its vitality.
