Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Xun, with a nervous heart, took out her violin and tried playing it. As a result, she was completely immersed in the funny melody and started jumping and shaking her head along with it.

Most people play the violin with an elegant style, but when she plays this piece, she's practically sprinting down the path of a comedian.

"This melody is absolutely addictive!"

"But... Kaoru is really quite adorable like this!"

Amidst the lighthearted melody, their eyes met once again.

Looking at Kaoru's sweet smile, which was like a blooming flower, Kitagawa Yu felt his heart skip a beat.

Xiao Xun repeated the upbeat melody over and over again, as if she wanted to fully express her long-suppressed love and longing for the violin. If Kitagawa Yuichi hadn't used the magic pendant he got from the Einzbern family when he arrived, which had the effect of blocking sound and sight and repelling onlookers, people on several floors above and below would probably have heard it and come running over.

Xiao Xun pulled the purse more than a dozen times, until fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, before she finally stopped.

"Master! I can really play the violin again! And I don't get tired even after playing for so long!" Xiao Xun said excitedly.

Seeing that she seemed about to cry tears of joy again, Kitagawa Yu quickly took the violin from her hands and put it in its case, saying softly, "Now that you're healthy, you can play for the rest of your life, even until you get tired of it. But it's nighttime now, okay? You—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xun had already run over and hugged his neck, and then, to his astonishment, kissed him on the cheek.

"you--"

"This...this is just to thank you," Xiao Xun said, blushing.

"Of course, I'm serious when I say I want to date you, Master. I'm very, very serious!"

"But I know you can't accept it yet, so let's perform together at our school's festival! I feel this song would be even better if we added an electronic metronome and some electronic instruments!"

"Can I refuse?" Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but touch his nose.

Asking him to write songs is one thing, but asking him to perform on stage in front of so many people would probably make him even more nervous than if he were to fight Gilgamesh one-on-one.

"No! Master, how can you bear to refuse your most beloved disciple's first small wish after recovering from a serious illness?"

As Xiao Xun spoke, she clung to him like a koala, swaying affectionately, as if she wouldn't let go until he agreed.

"But what if our two schools' school festivals clash?"

“No, it won’t!” Xiao Xun immediately said, “I’ve already checked. Master, your school’s festival this year is on the 21st and 22nd, while our school’s festival is a week earlier, on next Saturday and Sunday, which is the 14th and 15th. There won’t be any conflict.”

"You planned this all along, didn't you?" Kitagawa Yu, having put down his violin, instinctively reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace and shifting them into a more comfortable position.

"Hehe, I was just thinking that if my illness can't be cured in the end, I'll say goodbye to this world with one last performance~" Xiao Xun explained with a grin.

The cool moonlight streamed in through the window, falling on her pretty face, which, though fully recovered, was still somewhat pale. She was so beautiful it was heartbreaking, and one couldn't help but feel pity for her.

In the end, Kitagawa Yu agreed, because he simply couldn't bring himself to refuse Kaoru in her presence.

"Okay, okay, I agree, but I won't be coming when you're discharged tomorrow."

"Huh? Why?" Xiao Xun couldn't help but widen her eyes.

How could Kitagawa Yu not come to such an important event as her discharge from the hospital?

If it were before, Kitagawa Yu might have directly said something like, "I have a few new girlfriends moving into my house," but now...

“A relative is going abroad and has asked me to take care of their two daughters. I need to process their school transfers tomorrow.”

"Is that so?" Xiao Xun looked at him suspiciously and asked doubtfully, "How old is she? Can't she live on her own?"

"One is six years old, and the other is eight years old, but they are both in the first grade of elementary school, just like my younger sister."

"Is that so? Then their parents are really irresponsible!"

"Yes, their parents are indeed a bit irresponsible, but they do have their own difficulties."

If they weren't forced to, which parent would willingly send their daughter to be fostered by someone else?

Of course, this excludes magician parents like Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Upon thinking about it, Xiao Xun immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have commented on their parents so casually."

"Alright, I'm your master. You can tell me anything, it's okay~" Kitagawa Yu smiled and patted her head.

"So I really can't come to pick you up from the hospital tomorrow, and I think you should be with your parents during such a happy and important time."

"I understand." Xiao Xun nodded obediently, but then her eyes lit up, and she said with a grin, "But in that case, Master, you can't leave tonight. Stay and keep me company!"

"If I stay, where will I sleep?"

In the end, Kitagawa Yu couldn't resist Kaoru's pleas and stayed. However, Kitagawa Yu's previous worries about where to sleep were completely unnecessary.

They moved the long sofa for guests to a spot directly opposite the window, and then Xiao Xun relaxed and leaned against Kitagawa Yu, quietly enjoying the moonlight outside the window. She fell asleep in less than ten minutes.

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile. He kissed her cheek, which looked as serene and lovely as a little angel as she slept, and then closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

It wasn't until after four in the morning, when the sky was gradually brightening, that he gently carried her back to bed, covered her with the blanket, stretched, and left the room.

There was no other way; he needed to go back early to prepare breakfast for the day.

Even with Chizuka and Ayumi's help, preparing breakfast for more than ten people is still a considerable task.

Especially with Artoria, who has a huge appetite, around, he'll probably have to cook for twenty people.

"hiss--"

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but gasp.

"No way! Forget about Saber, Medusa absolutely has to learn to cook, consider it rent! Luckily, Elaina has magic that lets her control pots and pans, and as a goddess with magical powers, she should be able to learn it."

Poor R-sister suffered such differential treatment.

However, Medusa herself quite liked and even enjoyed this kind of work and life. After all, it was much better than returning to the empty Throne of Heroes and the era she lived in, where she had to worry every day about some great hero coming to cut off her head.

So Kitagawa Yu only mentioned it briefly, and Medusa readily agreed, which made Kitagawa Yu a little embarrassed.

However, Medusa's learning ability was surprisingly strong. In just a few days, she surpassed Kitagawa Yu and Chizuka in cooking skills and successfully obtained the position of head chef. She even became adept at making the most difficult Chinese dishes.

Especially after learning Elena's magic, she was able to handle all the tasks by herself.

Of course, these are all for later.

At breakfast, Ayumi and Ayako, who had come over to freeload, were unsurprisingly startled to see so many more people at the table.

Fortunately, Kitagawa Yu had already prepared his explanation.

“Artoria, Sakura, and Illya are the children of my distant relatives. They used to live in the UK, and Medusa is their maid. Their parents encountered some trouble recently, so they came to Japan to stay with me temporarily.”

This is an explanation of Ayumi.

As for Ayako, who knew some of the secrets, Kitagawa Yu was more candid: "They are all my superhuman partners, so they are staying with me for the time being."

"What about Sakura and Illya?" Ayako asked curiously in a low voice.

“Sakura’s superhuman parents disliked her talent and wanted to send her to another superhuman family for adoption, so I brought her back. Ilya’s parents are also superhumans with whom I have a good relationship, but they are currently planning something very dangerous and important. If it fails, they may never be able to come back, so they asked me to adopt Ilya.”

Chapter 189 Emergency Rescue?

Trusting Kitagawa Yu, Ayako immediately believed his story. Then, she couldn't help but frown and complain about Matou Sakura's parents.

Although Kitagawa Yu's statement was a little exaggerated, Tohsaka Tokiomi probably wouldn't mind, since it was all Tokiomi's fault.

"Does the senior need my help? I mean, if you need to process your identity, my sister should be able to help."

"No need," Kitagawa Yu said, raising his hand in a chopstick motion and gently tapping her head with a smile.

"I can handle this myself."

It wasn't that he was afraid of troubling Ayako and Yukiko, or being polite to them; he just felt that if he and Elaina handled it, it would be faster.

“Alright then,” Ayako quickly glanced at Artoria and Medusa, whose looks put a lot of pressure on her, took a deep breath, and mustered up her courage to say, “Then, senior, can you take me home tonight? I... I just found an anime that looks really interesting, and I’d like to watch it with you.”

"Is it really just about watching anime together?" This strange thought couldn't help but pop into Kitagawa Yu's head.

Although he didn't have the added benefit of memories from his past life, Ayako held an irreplaceable and special place in his heart as the first girl he met and fell in love with after coming to this world. So he readily agreed without even asking what anime it was.

"Great! Then I can ask Yukiko-senpai to prepare some cola and potato chips in advance. That will definitely make watching anime more enjoyable!"

"Yes!" Ayako nodded vigorously.

Perhaps because of the guidance she received last time, Ayako is no longer as resistant to Yukiko.

Of course, it's just preparing things like cola and potato chips; why would I trouble my older sister? She can do it herself!

After breakfast, Chizuka and Ayumi were left to watch the shop, and then Kitagawa Yu drove the van he borrowed from Ayako, taking Artoria and the others out the door.

What if you ask what to do if you don't have a driver's license?

Yeah, don't worry, Elena's here for you~

As for safety, there's no need to worry. A pendant that repels onlookers makes other vehicles on the road inexplicably want to keep their distance.

Even with the help of magic, it took almost a whole day to complete the identity procedures for Artoria and the other three, as well as the enrollment procedures for Matou Sakura and Illya.

This was definitely not because Kitagawa Yu, being a novice driver, never exceeded 40 miles per hour; it was simply because he wanted Artoria and the others, who were visiting this world and this era for the first time, to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Yes, it is like that.

"Whoo~"

"Finally home!"

Kitagawa Yu parked his car and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Artoria hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Master, although I have come to another world, my inherent skills are still there. B-rank riding is not only about driving, but also about flying a plane, so you can leave this to me."

"."

Kitagawa Yu chuckled dryly and touched his nose. Could he say that he just hadn't driven much and wanted to get a feel for cars?

Seeing this, Elena couldn't help but laugh out loud. She found that Artoria's straightforwardness was sometimes just too adorable.

When it came time to make dinner, knowing he had driven all day and was very tired, Chizuka kicked him out of the kitchen and asked Medusa and the volunteer Artoria to help. She told him to go upstairs to play games with Anya, Illya, Yuzuru, and Shoko, who had come to visit Anya.

Unsurprisingly, Illya and Matou Sakura, who were experiencing this kind of video game for the first time, became quite interested in it. Anya, the 'noob,' also successfully showed off and proudly earned the admiring gazes of the two, her nose almost puffing up in pride.

Kitagawa Yu took an ice-cold can of cola from the refrigerator, opened it, and sat on the sofa, slowly drinking it while watching the five little ones enjoying themselves. He couldn't help but laugh for a moment.

This scene is so heartwarming, it feels so homey.

But just then, a voice suddenly rang in his mind, causing him to unconsciously frown.

"Why does this voice sound familiar?"
