Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

She had attended school before, so she didn't find school particularly novel.

In addition, the fact that Kitagawa Yu was neither at school nor at home, where Kitagawa Yu's presence was everywhere, made her feel incredibly at ease.

This made her really not want to stay here.

But she promised Kitagawa Yu that she would study hard, so what should she do now?

"Illya, how about we skip school and go find Onii-chan!" After hesitating for a long time, Matou Sakura finally couldn't resist her attachment to Kitagawa Yu and turned to Illya, who was sitting at the next table, and whispered to her.

"Skipping school?" This somewhat unfamiliar word initially caught Ilya off guard, but considering the subsequent mention of going to find Kitagawa Yu, the clever girl quickly grasped its meaning and instinctively wanted to exclaim in surprise.

Skipping school? They just promised Kitagawa Yu last night that they would go to school properly!

Fortunately, Matou Sakura reacted quickly, raising her fair hand and successfully slapping Illya shut before she could make a sound.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Only after Ilya whimpered twice and calmed down did Matou Sakura release her.

"Don't you want to stay by Onii-chan's side?" Matou Sakura asked in a crisp, soft voice.

"Of course I want to!" Ilya said without hesitation.

Although the school environment was novel, she definitely preferred being with Kitagawa Yu to the latter. After all, in a completely unfamiliar world and environment, besides Artoria, whom she had known for a few months, only Kitagawa Yu, whom Irisviel could trust, could give her enough sense of security.

However, besides dependence, she also felt a certain awe towards Kitagawa Yu.

"What if Onii-chan finds out and gets angry?" Ilya asked with a worried look.

"Even if Onii-chan gets angry and punishes me, I still want to stay by Onii-chan's side!" Matou Sakura said without thinking, which made Illya's heart flutter.

"But we don't know where Onii-chan's school is! This city is so big, what if we get lost?" Ilya asked another question.

For ordinary children, asking a passerby or even a police officer for directions is a very normal thing, but these two were both very wary.

Ilya was alright; she trusted everyone at the coffee shop. But Matou Sakura, because of her past experiences, only truly trusted Kitagawa Yu, so asking them for directions was a bit of a stretch.

However, the clever Matou Sakura only frowned slightly and thought about it for a moment before coming up with a solution.

"That's right, we can ask Anya to take us there! She definitely knows where Onii-chan's school is!"

Anya, who was happily eavesdropping with mind reading skills, was stunned when she heard this. Her big eyes turned into beady eyes, and sweat dripped down her forehead.

Asking her to skip school and run off to find Kitagawa Yu with those two guys is just putting Gian on a difficult pedestal!

Although she knew the name of Kitagawa Yu's school, she had never been there herself.

But if she told the truth, wouldn't her image as the 'Invincible Star Anya' be completely ruined? She couldn't let her two 'sisters' know that she was an idiot who couldn't even tell a clock!

Unfortunately, just as she was about to pretend to be asleep, Matou Sakura turned her head and looked at her with her purple eyes, which only lit up when she saw Kitagawa Yu and were otherwise like a stagnant pool.

"Ania, take us to find Onii-chan!"

Anya froze, and sweat poured down her forehead even faster.

"Um... Onii-chan gets angry! Let me tell you, Onii-chan is terrifying when he's angry! He'll steal my peanuts, won't let me eat ice cream, and won't even let me drink much cola or hot chocolate."

Anya quickly listed Kitagawa Yu's 'fierceness,' 'brutality,' and 'terror,' but because her eyes were so unfocused, she didn't notice that Matou Sakura and Illya opposite her were getting increasingly strange expressions as she listened.

"That's it?" Matou Sakura finally couldn't help but ask.

Ilya didn't know the specifics, but even when she was still in the Tohsaka family, she was forced by the strict Tohsaka Tokiomi to learn magic. If she didn't learn it well, she often wouldn't get any snacks, let alone dinner.

Unfortunately, due to their inherent differences, Tokiomi Tohsaka's older sister, Rin Tohsaka, possessed a far greater talent in gem magic than Tokiomi. No matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with Rin. Therefore, unlike his kind fatherly demeanor in front of Rin, Tokiomi Tohsaka was extremely strict with her, to the point of being cold-hearted.

Even later, she learned from Kitagawa Yu that Tohsaka Tokiomi was unwilling to let her magical talent go to waste, and since she didn't have any other magic systems, that's why he forced her so much, even going so far as to send her to the Matou family.

But in her eyes, Tokiomi Tohsaka was still like a demon.

As for the punishments Anya mentioned...

"Isn't this just because Onii-chan is worried that you'll eat too much and get a stomachache, turning into a little chubby ball?" Matou Sakura thought to herself.

Hearing her thoughts, Anya puffed out her cheeks and huffed, "Ania isn't a little fatso! Anya, Anya just has a stomachache at most!"

"...Forgot she can read minds!" A hint of exasperation flashed in Matou Sakura's dim purple eyes as she decisively changed the subject, saying, "If Onii-chan is really angry, I'll take all the punishment myself!"

"Uh this"

Anya was so intimidated by her imposing manner that her mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"Besides, as long as you take me to find Onii-chan, you can eat all my snacks from now on, I'll even give them all to you!" Matou Sakura said again.

The conditions she offered this time were like arrows, piercing Anya's heart.

"You...you're telling the truth?" Anya stopped sweating, and her eyes, which had been small and beady, returned to their cute, big, bright eyes.

"Of course! Peanuts, potato chips, cola, chocolate, cake, ice cream—you can take all the snacks you want to eat!"

"Wow~!"

Anya couldn't help but open her mouth wide, as if even the air around her had turned pink with the aroma of chocolate and peanuts.

That's right! Peanuts and hot chocolate are her true loves!

Kitagawa Yu can only rank third at best!

"make a deal!"

Anya excitedly stretched out her little hand, imitating the anime, to give Matou Sakura a high-five as a promise.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that this was in a classroom, and the teacher on the podium was not deaf.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of chalk breaking rang out.

The female teacher, who had been writing on the blackboard with her back to the classroom, suddenly turned around with her head in a spiky manner, her eyes turning into murderous, dead fish eyes as she glared at Anya.

"Kitagawa Anya! This is a classroom! Class is in session! What were you just shouting?!"

"!!!"

"Oh no! A major crisis is looming for Anya!"

Anya blurted out without thinking, which immediately caused the whole class to burst into laughter, almost making Anya die of embarrassment on the spot.

As expected, Anya was then called to the hallway to stand as punishment by the teacher.

Seeing this, Matou Sakura and Illya exchanged a glance, immediately cast a spell to dispel idlers on themselves, secretly slipped out of the classroom, and then met up with Anya and left the school together.

then

Anya, who was initially tempted by all sorts of delicious snacks, suddenly realized that she had no idea how to get to Kitagawa Yu's school!

"How do we go?"

"Uh, this way!"

Sweating profusely, Anya turned her head to look at both sides of the school gate and pointed to one side at random.

but

"This way? Are you sure? Isn't this the way we came from? When Onii-chan dropped us off here, it seemed like we were continuing straight ahead, right?"

Sakura Matou's barrage of questions nearly gave Anya mosquito coil-like eyes.

However, Anya then used her innate skill—making things up—and successfully fooled and persuaded Matou Sakura and Illya with a series of explanations. Then, the three of them walked in the direction they came from for a while, and then turned into a road they had never been on before at the intersection.

Fortunately, Illya and Matou Sakura's spell to dispel unwanted visitors only worked on the students and teachers in the classroom. When the next class started, the other teachers immediately noticed that three people were missing when they entered the classroom.

After all, those three empty seats lined up in a row were just too obvious.

When the names were called out again, Matou Sakura and her two companions were immediately exposed.

While Kitagawa Yu was still pondering whether to catch up on sleep or draw comics during the second period, he received a call from Anya's homeroom teacher, Tsukuyomi Komoe.

That's right, it's Tsukuyomi Komoe. At least her name, appearance, height, and voice are all the same as Tsukuyomi Komoe from A Certain Magical Index.

When Kitagawa Yu first took Anya to school, he was quite startled by her.

Fortunately, this Tsukuyomi Komoe doesn't have superpowers, and there's no place called Academy City in this world. As for whether this Tsukuyomi Komoe's personality is the same as the Tsukuyomi Komoe in A Certain Magical Index, he doesn't know.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, right?

However, the news that Tsukuyomi Komoe brought him this time really startled him.

"What?! Sakura and the other two skipped school?!"

Undoubtedly, his voice startled everyone in the class, including the students who were giving the lecture.

"Kitagawa-kun—" The teacher was about to say something with a stern face, but Kitagawa Yu was faster than him.

"Teacher, something happened to my sister, I need to ask for leave!"

Because he was genuinely anxious, he unconsciously revealed a hint of hidden power as he spoke.

With his already extraordinary combat power and the numerous monsters he had hunted during this time, the aura he displayed at this moment completely stunned everyone, including his teacher.

It wasn't until Kitagawa Yu quickly left the classroom that everyone came to their senses, and each of them showed a shocked expression.

"hiss--"

"Was that really Kitagawa-kun? I feel like even the principal standing there doesn't have his imposing presence!"

"The principal is nothing! I feel that even the current Sword Saint's aura is only this much!"

"A contemporary sword saint? I was there when the sword saint fought against Lord Sanada!"

"Hiss—" Another series of rapid gasps.

"It seems the news that circulated in the kendo club a while ago was true! Kitagawa took on two opponents and defeated Ito-senpai and Tendo-senpai in one move!"

"I didn't believe it at first, but now I'm 100% sure that Kitagawa-kun is definitely a top-tier kendo master, maybe even a swordsman!"

"But Kitagawa-kun actually has three younger sisters?"

"I wonder what grade they're in, skipping school at such a young age."

"Shh! Keep your voice down. If Kitagawa finds out you're talking bad about his sister behind her back, you're dead meat!"

"..."

Thanks to his powerful five senses, Kitagawa Yu could still hear the chatter in the classroom even after he had run to the stairs.

But at this moment, all he could think about were Anya and the other two, so he had no time to pay attention to those guys.

Of course, by this time he had calmed down.
