Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

While they were having coffee, Kitagawa Yuya quietly went upstairs and, with a mischievous grin, grabbed Anya and picked her up.

Seeing Anya wearing her star-patterned pajamas, with one eye stubbornly closed and the other slightly open, her cheeks puffed out like a cute little bun, Kitagawa Yu burst out laughing.

"Huh? Is it morning already?"

"No, I just want to wake you up and take you to meet your new friends."

"."

As Anya gradually regained her senses, she suddenly didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.

"This is my younger sister Anya. She's five years old, but she's already in first grade. This is Matou Sakura, and this is Illya."

Kitagawa Yu first introduced Artoria and the others to Anya.

As expected, when Anya learned that she had two new friends of the same age, her last bit of sleepiness vanished instantly, and she became incredibly cool.

"Let's talk about reading comics and playing games another time. Let's get the room settled first."

Kitagawa Yu felt extremely fortunate when the matter was mentioned.

If it weren't for Elena, and if she hadn't previously transformed the original second floor into a 4LDK (four-bedroom, four-room, five-bedroom) house and combined it with the third floor, there probably wouldn't have been enough rooms.

However, with Artoria and the others moving in, even if Matou Sakura and Illya could stay together, there would only be three rooms left.

"Ayako probably won't stay here overnight, and Yuna also has to take care of her mother, so it's unlikely she'll stay here often. Ayumi, on the other hand, has been wanting to move in for a while now, and I heard she's trying to persuade her parents. Plus Ai, it seems like that should be just about enough?"

Kitagawa Yu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"You guys get some rest. I'll take you to get your IDs tomorrow, and we can do some sightseeing while we're at it," Kitagawa Yu said as he picked up his coat and put it on.

"Huh? Yu, are you going ghost hunting again tonight?" Chizuka asked curiously.

Artoria, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up her ears when she heard about the Ghost Hunter.

"Demon hunter? Is it a battle?"

"Well, but I'm not going ghost hunting tonight. My healing spell has been upgraded and is now off cooldown, so I plan to go to the hospital to cure my disciple's illness."

Despite spending so many days in the Type-Moon world and experiencing several major battles, Kitagawa Yuu will not forget Kaoru, since his main purpose in upgrading his healing techniques was to heal her.

During Xiao Xun's time, he had only recently separated from Kitagawa Yu.

She was still feeling sleepy, but now lying in bed, the thought of her confession to Kitagawa Yu made her blush and her heart race, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

Am I using my master as a substitute?

"I don't think so, do I?"

"My master is handsome, kind to me, and so talented. I really like him, don't I?"

"If my master agrees, I will definitely do my best to be a good girlfriend!"

"But! That lousy master actually rejected me!"

"That's outrageous!"

"."

Xiao Xun muttered to herself, unable to fall asleep the more she thought about it. She simply turned around and faced the window, intending to admire the moonlight outside and calm herself down.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Kitagawa Yuu preparing to climb in through the window.

"."

"???"

Their eyes met, and Xiao Xun's eyes widened instantly, while Kitagawa Yu froze, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

"Master? What brings you here?"

It took Xiao Xun a full three seconds to come to her senses and sit up in surprise.

"Wait, isn't this the tenth floor? Master, how did you get up here? My god, is it a breathing technique?! Does mastering the breathing technique allow you to fly over walls and walk on rooftops?"

Kitagawa Yu then jumped down from the window, feigning composure, coughed twice, and said seriously, "That's right, as long as you can master the breathing technique, not only will you be able to fly over walls, you can even take off directly!"

Xiao Xun had no idea he was joking; after hearing it, her mouth immediately opened wide into an "O" shape.

However, she immediately asked a question that made Kitagawa Yu's face darken, and he wanted to punch her.

"So, Master, does that mean you can just climb over the wall and freely enter girls' rooms? Oh my god! Master, with so many girlfriends, you wouldn't..."

Kitagawa Yu walked up to her in an annoyed manner and delivered a heavy chop to her head. The pain made her clutch her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Master, I was just asking casually. Could it be that I've actually hit the nail on the head?"

Kitagawa Yu's lips twitched, and he said with a dark face, "Yeah, that's right, I've been climbing through your window every night lately~"

"."

Even though she knew Kitagawa Yu was lying, Kaoru still blushed for no reason after hearing it.

"So Master, you've had bad intentions towards her all along? Then why did you reject her?"

Feeling that continuing would only make things worse, Kitagawa Yu decisively changed the subject: "Stop joking, I'm here to treat your illness."

"Treat the illness?" Xiao Xun looked at him in confusion.

Kitagawa Yu smiled slightly, vigorously rubbing her head, turning her originally smooth long hair into a mess, and his mood immediately improved.

"That's right, you'll be completely cured soon, so be prepared for questions from your doctor and parents~ Remember, don't reveal anything about me~"

Just as Xiao Xun was about to angrily slap his hand away, she was stunned by what he said. Before she could even prepare herself or say anything, she noticed that a soft and mysterious light was shining from Kitagawa Yu's body.

"Mother Earth is fooling you~"

As the healing spell was activated, the mysterious light, carrying a gentle power, flowed into Kaoru's body through Kitagawa Yu's arm. The comfort made her involuntarily close her eyes and empty her mind, as if she were soaking in a hot spring.

Chapter 188 Xiao Xun's Rushing Forward

She didn't know how much time had passed until the warm current dissipated, and then she regained consciousness. Immediately afterwards, she felt that her body, which had always felt heavy, weak, and easily tired, became lighter than ever before, and her body was full of vitality.

She knew without a doctor's diagnosis that Kitagawa Yu was not lying to her; her illness was truly cured.

"Is my illness cured? Is my illness really cured?"

"Then does that mean I don't have to die?"

"So it was all true!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Kaoru threw herself into Kitagawa Yu's arms, tightly embracing his waist with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably.

She should be happy right now, but she just can't help but want to cry, to let out all the grievances, frustrations, fears, and confusion that she's kept inside for so many years.

Kitagawa Yu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only sigh silently, gently pull her into his arms, and pat her back, letting her tears completely soak his clothes.

But that's enough for Xiao Xun.

After crying for more than twenty minutes, Xiao Xun finally stopped crying, raised her head, and looked at Kitagawa Yu with her red and swollen eyes.

"Master, was what you just did... also a breathing technique ability?"

"No, that's divine magic, the power of the gods."

"Gods? Do gods really exist in this world?"

"Of course, but even gods aren't omnipotent. Their power is extremely precious, and even when they help people, they are selective in their assistance. So you shouldn't rely on gods too much," Kitagawa Yu advised.

"Master, what serious price do you have to pay for borrowing the power of the gods?" Xiao Xun asked worriedly.

“The god I serve is easier to talk to, so I don’t need to pay any price. However, it used to take me a month to accumulate this much divine power. It was only after I broke through today that I was able to use it once a week. That’s why I came to find you again now.”

Xiao Xun suddenly realized why Kitagawa Yu hadn't made a move earlier, but instead came back so soon after they parted ways.

Of course, she was only worried about whether Kitagawa Yu would have to pay a heavy price, and didn't think about anything else.

"Once a week? Then Master, wouldn't you be able to save a lot of people?"

Kitagawa Yu tapped her on the head impatiently and snorted, "Do you want me to be captured and dissected for research? I won't save you unless you're someone I trust. Besides, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order. Without death, how can there be new life?"

Xiao Xun stuck out her tongue shyly, then her eyes lit up and she hugged his arm with a grin, jokingly saying, "Then doesn't that mean I've mastered an important secret?"

Kitagawa Yu glanced at her sideways and said indifferently, "Yeah, and then what?"

"Then you can't refuse to date me, Master! Otherwise, I can't guarantee I won't tell everyone your secret~" Xiao Xun threatened with a mischievous smile.

But Kitagawa Yu remained unmoved, scoffing, "This is out of the question. I will absolutely not compromise on something as pure as feelings."

"."

Xiao Xun's cheeks puffed up with anger.

She had only meant it as a joke, but seeing Kitagawa Yu's serious refusal, she started to take it more seriously.

However, she also felt that she shouldn't use threats to get Kitagawa Yu to agree to date her, so...

"Then Master, please write a piece of music for me!"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "You want to sing?"

"It's a violin piece!"

Kitagawa Yu was speechless.

"Aren't you overestimating me? Pop music and violin music are two completely different things, okay?"

"I know! But I'm confident that with Master's talent, it won't be a problem! But... hurry up! I'm also planning to participate in our school's festival and perform there!"

Seeing the hidden expectation behind her smile, Kitagawa Yu gradually became serious as well.

Then a familiar melody suddenly burst out from the back of his head, causing a strange look to flash in his eyes.

"Do you really want me to write a piece of music for you?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Alright, but you have to perform it once I've written it down, okay?"

"this."

The clever Xiao Xun immediately realized something was wrong.

However, trusting Kitagawa Yu, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Then, when Kitagawa Yu brought out paper and pen and quickly wrote down the melody of "Bunny March" on the spot, she was dumbfounded.
