Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Kitagawa Yu brought up the system panel, glanced at it, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Is that Ai Haibara calling for help? But this voice doesn't sound like Ai Haibara's, does it? And isn't Ai Haibara in the United States? She shouldn't be in any danger, right? Could it be that she's encountered a free shopping scam?"

Various thoughts flashed through my mind.

Kitagawa Yu didn't waste any time and got up to walk towards the bathroom.

No matter what trouble Ai encountered, since the system had summoned him, he definitely had to go and check on her.

However, if it's just the Conan world, with his current strength and the bunch of magic props he just brought back from the Type-Moon world, he probably won't need to ask Elaina and the others for help anymore.

After avoiding Anya and the others' sight, Kitagawa Yu first took out the Nichirin Blade from his spatial pocket, and then activated teleportation with a thought.

The next second, the surrounding environment changed, and when everything became clear, he was already in a passageway that wasn't particularly narrow.

Outside the window on the right, forests and fields rushed past, while on the left were rows of neatly arranged classical European-style wooden doors. Coupled with the rumbling sound in my ears, it was clear that I was on a moving train.

More importantly, the 'Ai' in front of him was clearly different from what he had expected. She was only about 1.2 meters tall, wearing a purplish-red coat and a white mask. She was tiny. This was obviously the little Ai!

Don't ask how Kitagawa Yu recognized him; his signature ramen noodle hair was just too eye-catching.

"Huh? Ai, how did you shrink? You didn't do something stupid and experiment on yourself, did you?" Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Opposite him, Ai, whose eyes were already wide open because of his 'bizarre' appearance, had her pupils shrink even more upon hearing this, revealing a shocked expression.

"Who are you? How do you know my name? And how do you know that the experiment and I shrunk?" Ai asked urgently, instinctively.

"Who am I?" Kitagawa Yu raised an eyebrow, squatted down to get closer to Ai, and then looked her over with a strange expression.

"You lost your memory after taking the medication? I'm Kitagawa Yu! You called me here yourself, and you've forgotten?"

Three big question marks seemed to appear above Ai's head.

Amnesia? Kitagawa Yu? I'm calling you? What is all this nonsense?!

Overwhelmed by shock and confusion, Ai temporarily set aside her initial tension and fear.

Across from her, Kitagawa Yu had the same puzzled expression on his face and reached out to remove her mask: "It's definitely Ai Haibara. That ramen-noodle hair, that face, it's right. Could it be that brat Conan disguised himself? But Conan couldn't possibly not recognize me."

"what are you talking about?"

When Ai Haibara heard Kitagawa Yu mention Conan, she couldn't help but frown. Conan had only impersonated her once or twice, and only the two of them knew about it. How did Kitagawa Yu know?

Surely she can't really have amnesia?

"And please give me back my mask! It's very impolite to touch a girl's mask like that!"

Kitagawa Yu paused for a moment, then handed the mask back to her while complaining, "That's right, that's the tone. It should be Ai, right? It's impossible for Akemi and Ai to have a third sister, is it?"

When Ai heard the name 'Akami', her expression changed once again.

"You know my sister?"

Kitagawa Yu rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Isn't that obvious? It was your sister who asked me to rescue you from the research institute, and then I sent you and your sister abroad to hide from that black-clad organization!"

As expected, Ai's head was filled with more and more questions after hearing this, but for some reason, her heart started racing involuntarily.

"What...what did you say? You saved me and my sister, and even sent us abroad? That's impossible, my sister is already dead!" Ai's voice trembled slightly.

Her words caused Kitagawa Yu to frown deeply.

"Your sister is dead? That's impossible!"

"Wait, your sister is dead, you've shrunk back to a small size, and you've even forgotten me. Could it be that the world's will has corrected the timeline?"

Ai was previously effectively imprisoned in the research institute and was not allowed to go out at will, so in addition to her work and research, she would occasionally read novels to relax.

So she understood 'world will' and 'timeline', but the whole sentence together confused her.

"Is what you're saying true? You really saved me and my sister?"

“Of course~” Kitagawa Yu said without hesitation, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “Where is this? I mean this train.”

"This is the Suzuki, built by Suzuki Jikichiro as a replica of the train in Murder on the Orient Express. It only runs once a year, and during the journey, it presents various puzzle games. Those who successfully solve the puzzles can receive corresponding rewards." Ai quickly explained, suppressing her doubts.

After listening, Kitagawa Yu looked thoughtful and continued to ask, "Then did you call me because you were being hunted by the organization?"

Although Ai didn't know when or how she had called out to Kitagawa Yu, she nodded and said, "That's right, I sensed the organization's presence on the train. They must be here to kill me."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I was worried about implicating Conan and Ayumi, so I ran away on my own."

"Then that's it. So it's the 'Mysterious Train of Black Iron'. Could it be that my intervention in saving you sisters caused a timeline shift that created a parallel world?"

Kitagawa Yu stroked his chin, thinking of the most reasonable possibility.

Ai, on the other hand, managed to grasp his meaning with her exceptionally high intelligence, since the concepts of timeline shifts and parallel worlds are all too common in many science fiction novels.

"You mean, in another parallel world, my sister and I are still alive?"

"Yes, they're alive and well~" Kitagawa Yu checked the system panel and confirmed that Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai were still online before saying this with certainty.

"Later, I also accepted your request and we found Shuichi Akai, who had deceived your sister's feelings. During that time, we even traveled together in Japan for a month."

"Uh"

Even though Ai was very concerned about her sister's situation in the other world, she couldn't help but pause for a moment when she heard this.

"Traveled together for a month? That should only happen between very close and trusted people, right? After all, I didn't shrink in that other world." Ai suddenly looked Kitagawa Yu up and down again, and then realized that the handsome boy with the gentle smile on his face seemed to be her type.

"If you add the fact that she also saved me and my sister," Ai suddenly felt a flush on her cheeks, and her gaze became evasive.

"Won't traveling attract the organization's pursuit?" Ai couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Hey, those rats? If my search skill hadn't had a long cooldown and I wasn't reluctant to use it on them, I would have found and killed Gin long ago," Kitagawa Yu said casually.

That smile and tone also affected Ai, making her calm down unconsciously.

However, the long-standing shadow cast by Gin still made her somewhat worried as she said, "Gin is very powerful; even Shuichi Akai is no match for him."

Kitagawa Yu laughed and said, "By ordinary standards, he is indeed quite powerful, but the problem is, I'm not an ordinary person~"

"Never mind, you'll find out when we get to Nagoya Station. If the plot and historical trajectory haven't changed, Gin and Vodka should be waiting for you at Nagoya Station."

"As for what happened on the train, Bedmore and Bourbon, Bedmore probably doesn't know that Bourbon is actually a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. So even if Conan and Kid don't intervene, he will still save you and then send you to the Public Security Bureau for protection."

"In addition, Conan's mother, Yukiko Kudo, and Shuichi Akai, who has changed his appearance, are also on this train. They won't let anything happen to you, so you can rest assured."

At this point, Kitagawa Yu suddenly thought of something and said with a wicked grin, "Speaking of which, these guys seem to have installed quite a few listening devices on this train. I wonder if they heard what I just said. If they did, that would be interesting."

“My search and location capabilities can only be used once a week, so to prevent Bedmore from escaping, or to notify Gin who is waiting at Nagoya Station in advance so that they can run away, let’s temporarily close this train.”

"Look closely, these are magic props I brought back from another world. Of course, calling them magic is really just a euphemism; they like to call magic 'magic' in their world. Anyway, now's the moment to witness a miracle!"

Chapter 190 Even gods have it tough.

As he spoke, Kitagawa Yu had already taken out a simple-looking gold pocket watch from his pocket. The next second, as he pressed the button on the pocket watch, a layer of light blue light screen visible to the naked eye rapidly expanded from the pocket watch as the center, instantly enveloping the entire moving train.

Did Vermouth and the others actually hear their conversation?

The answer, of course, is that I heard it.

Just like in the story, it wasn't just the Black Organization; Yukiko Kudo, Shuichi Akai, and Kaito Kid also installed listening devices in the two most important carriages, number 7 and 8, so they all heard the conversation between Yu Kitagawa and Ai.

Coupled with the magical pale blue light screen just now, they all couldn't help but show the same shocked expression as Ai.

"Is this for real?!"

"Parallel worlds? Magic called magic? And Akemi Miyano didn't die? Are all of these things real?!"

Vermouth's expression immediately changed, and she quickly opened the window, trying to reach her hand out. However, the blue light barrier that had disappeared reappeared, blocking the window and preventing her arm from passing through.

At the same time, Kitagawa Yuna's teasing voice came through the earpiece again: "I bet they're just like you right now, trying to stick their hands out the window to see if what I just said is true. Just kidding, how could someone as honest as me lie?"

Ai pouted, withdrew her hand, and finally relaxed.

Obviously, with such a powerful person protecting her, she certainly won't die.

"Did you wipe out the organization in the other world?" Ai asked curiously.

“No,” Kitagawa Yu said honestly. “It would be too tiring for me to destroy such a large organization by myself. Besides, if I destroyed the organization, Conan, Amuro Tooru, Bourbon, Akai Shuichi and a whole bunch of other people would be ‘unemployed’.”

"Is the word 'unemployment' even appropriate in this situation?" Ai asked, speechless.

"Anyway, as long as they don't hurt you and your sister, or Ran and Sonoko, let them fight it out among themselves. It has nothing to do with me," Kitagawa Yu said with a shrug.

After hearing this, Ai noticed something strange: "Besides me, my sister, Ran, and Sonoko? Why are they all girls?"

"Because I make friends with pretty girls~" Kitagawa Yu said half-jokingly.

As for Conan and Kaito, he figured they probably wouldn't consider him a friend either.

Upon hearing this, Ai glared at him with dead fish eyes, revealing a disgusted expression, while at the same time feeling a strange pang of sadness.

"Why are you just like Uncle Mori?"

Kitagawa Yu was furious: "How can you compare me to that useless old man? I'm way better than him!"

"What if Vermouth is a great beauty?"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, then stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "No need for 'what ifs,' Vermouth is a great beauty, just a little older—"

"."

In a compartment in another carriage a few dozen meters away, where she should have been anxious about how to escape, Vermouth couldn't help but bulge the veins on her forehead when she heard this.

What do you mean "a bit old"? She's not old at all! She's only eighteen!

Kitagawa Yuuka had no idea what Vermouth was thinking, but he continued, "It would be a bit of a waste to just kill her like that."

"So what do you want? To grab her, lock her up, and use her as your toy?"

"What are you thinking? How come your mind has become so dark just because you've gotten smaller?" Kitagawa Yu gave Ai a hard tap on the head, his face full of black lines, and said, "I'm thinking, I can totally use magic to brainwash her and make her think she's a loyal FBI agent, that she's actually in cahoots with Akai Shuichi. I can also brainwash Vodka, haha! That way, only Gin will be the real one among the organization's high-ranking members, and everyone else will be traitors and undercover agents. Don't you think that's interesting?"

Ai covered her head and glared at him irritably, but after imagining the scene described by Kitagawa Yu, she couldn't help but get excited.

Yes, it’s excitement.

If it could really be as Kitagawa Yu said, that would be so wonderful for her.

"Can your magic really completely brainwash someone? Won't she be able to undo it, or will it lose its effect after a while?"

Kitagawa Yu chuckled and ruffled her hair, saying, "You underestimate magic! It's not just about brainwashing an ordinary person; it can summon legendary figures from the annals of history, and even resurrect the dead!"

Ai was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widening in disbelief.

She was initially conflicted about whether she should go to that other world with Kitagawa Yu if her older sister was still alive.
