Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Kitagawa Yu took a deep breath, trying hard to pull his gaze away and forcefully banish the alluring image beneath the ripples of water from his mind, intending to switch to another hot spring pool.

Although Shinobu and Kanae were incredibly attractive at this point, he already had so many 'girlfriends' that he couldn't afford to have any more.

But Kanae's voice immediately made him reluctantly give up the idea.

"I just asked the hotel owner, and this hot spring hotel only has this one natural hot spring pool."

"."

"Why don't you guys soak first, I'll come later." Kitagawa Yu originally wanted to say that, but just then, the wooden sliding door of the men's changing room was pulled open from the outside, and two lewd-looking guys walked in while whispering something and taking off their clothes.

This made Kitagawa Yu frown immediately, and he had no choice but to change his mind.

Although he genuinely had no romantic feelings for Kanae and Shinobu, he didn't want them to be taken advantage of by others.

After all, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho were both his priestesses.

To put it nicely, the shrine maidens in Japan are servants of the gods, having dedicated their bodies and souls to them.

To put it bluntly, shrine maidens are the personal property of the gods, so how can they be taken advantage of by others?

"OK then"

Kitagawa Yu activated the magic on the pendant to ward off idlers, then awkwardly turned and walked into the hot spring pool.

There was no other way; the magic on the pendant needed to be maintained by him. If he simply left the pendant there, the magic would soon shut down.

"Wow~"

The water rippled gently, seemingly stirring the hearts of the three.

Their eyes met unconsciously, and an indescribable restlessness rose from the bottom of their hearts, making their hearts beat faster than they could control.

In an instant, even the temperature of the hot spring seemed to rise several degrees, becoming increasingly hot. Even Kanae, who had been relatively calm before, now had a flushed face.

Kitagawa Yu sensed that something was off; if things continued like this, he was afraid he would make a mistake!

But just then, the curtain leading from the women's changing room to the hot spring pool was suddenly lifted by an arm, and to Kitagawa Yu's astonishment, Kanroji Mitsuri, who had washed the squid ink off her hair and revealed her original gradient hair color, ran in wrapped in a bath towel.

"Hey, looks like I wasn't wrong, you guys really are soaking in a hot spring here!"

As they were talking, Kanroji Mitsuri had already jumped into the pool with a carefree attitude, untied her bath towel and put it aside.

It's not that he lacked self-control; it's just that Kanroji Mitsuri's figure was too good.

However, the ambiguous atmosphere was broken by the sudden arrival of Kanroji Mitsuri.

Even if he really had feelings for Kanae and Shinobu, he couldn't possibly do anything in front of Mitsuri Kanroji, right?

Kitagawa Yu felt a surge of frustration upon realizing that he could only look but not touch.

Meanwhile, Shinobu Kocho glared angrily at Mitsuri Kanroji: "We came here to soak in the hot springs, what are you doing here!"

"I'm here to soak in the hot spring too! Isn't the hot spring at this hotel shared?" Kanroji Mitsuri asked with a blank expression.

She appeared to be innocent and guileless, but a glint of cunning flashed in her eyes, leaving Butterfly Shinobu speechless.

"But weren't you going home to tell your parents that you were leaving home to train?" Kanae asked at this moment.

The sisters were of one mind, and besides, although she seemed indifferent, she was actually a little annoyed. After all, if Kanroji Mitsuri hadn't come, and the atmosphere had escalated further, they might have been able to win over Kitagawa Yu.

“That’s right!” Kanroji Mitsuri smiled smugly. “When Father and Mother found out I was going to visit my husband for spiritual training, they immediately agreed, and they even prepared my luggage!”

"???"

This is training away from home. Although the village where Butterfly House is located is not far from here, only thirty or forty kilometers away, it is still away from home.

Did you really agree so hastily?

Kanae looked on in astonishment, while Shinobu Kocho keenly sensed that something was amiss.

What does "going to find her husband" mean? And why do I always feel like she just ran over here on purpose?

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Yu ignored the three's conversation, subtly concealing a certain area. At the same time, he silently enhanced the pendant's spell to dispel unwanted visitors, covering the women's changing room as well.

Well, now no one should come in and bother them anymore!

However, the time that followed was still quite agonizing for Kitagawa Yu, since all he could do was look and couldn't do anything, right?

So after soaking for a while, he wanted to get up and leave, but he had already noticed that Kanae and the other two, who were chatting idly across from him, were all glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes.

Although his physique has improved after practicing body-strengthening techniques and breathing methods, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Most importantly, wouldn't he be completely exposed if he stood up like that?

Left with no other choice, Kitagawa Yu could only close his eyes, lean his head back on the smooth volcanic rocks that had been washed by the flowing water, and pretend to rest, thinking that Kanae and the other two should leave first.

Even with his obvious hints, Kanae and the other two remained unmoved. Mitsuri Kanroji even became more brazen in her gaze, no longer bothering to pretend.

Looking at her hands clasped together and her eyes shining, I feel like I'm about to drool!

Kitagawa Yu sensed that Kanroji Mitsuri's breathing seemed to be getting more and more rapid, and recently she suddenly started convulsing.

Although it's true that Kanroji Mitsuri failed dozens of blind dates, was disliked by everyone, and was pressured by her family to get married, she didn't have to be so desperate, did she?

If Kanroji Mitsuri doesn't leave, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho obviously won't leave either, otherwise wouldn't that leave Kitagawa Yu alone with Kanroji Mitsuri?

So the four of them remained in a stalemate once again, but the atmosphere was no longer ambiguous; instead, it became... well... a little strange.

This really upset Kitagawa Yu.

Although he could soak in this hot spring all day without any problem, he came here to enjoy himself, not to suffer.

"I definitely should come with Chizuka and Elena next time I go to the hot springs!"

"And Artoria too."

"And Ayako and Yuna too."

"Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen Ayako and Yuna wearing yukatas before."

No, no, we've gone a bit off-topic.

Kitagawa Yu quickly put away these thoughts, then steeled himself and opened his eyes again.

"You're spying on me, aren't you? Well then, I'll spy back on you—no, I'll look back at you openly and honestly!"

Kitagawa Yu thought to herself, "Kanae and the others are girls, right? Being stared at like that, especially when they're not wearing clothes, they're bound to feel shy, right?"

At times like this, should I turn my head away and avoid his gaze?

Once they turn their heads, he will be able to jump out of the pool in that short time, wrap himself in a towel, and then he won't have to worry about being seen naked.

But he soon discovered that things were not quite as he had planned.

The three of them would feel shy when he stared at them, but they would only turn their heads away and avoid his gaze when their eyes met.

But he only had one pair of eyes, and could only make eye contact with one of them at a time.

As soon as he looked away, Kanroji Mitsuri and the others would turn their heads back, as if afraid of missing a single glance. This left him speechless and at a loss for words.

"Sure enough, once a woman gets aroused, men are no match for her. It turns out this principle applies to the world too. You want to see? Then go ahead and watch! Anyway, I just got my revenge, so I didn't lose anything!"

Kitagawa Yu muttered a couple of things to himself, then steeled himself and stood up.

"Wow!"

The sound of rippling water and the screams of Kanae and the other two rang out almost simultaneously.

That's why Kitagawa Yu activated the magic to dispel idlers; otherwise, even the innkeeper, who was far away in the lobby, would have come running over.

However, what left Kitagawa Yu speechless and bewildered was...

"You can yell all you want, but can you at least turn your eyes away? And did you plan all this together? It's so synchronized!"

Kitagawa Yu finally spoke up, this time he really couldn't hold back anymore.

Even the usually gentle and virtuous Kanae stared wide-eyed, not to mention Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji.

Most importantly, the three of them covered their open mouths with their hands in perfect unison, which left him both amused and exasperated.

Fortunately, the three of them were still girls.

Faced with Kitagawa Yu's sarcastic remarks, the three of them snapped out of their shock and turned away, their faces flushed and hearts pounding, no longer daring to look at Kitagawa Yu.

Only Shinobu Kocho muttered "pervert" under her breath, which made Yu Kitagawa so angry that he really wanted to give her a loving punch.

These three guys were clearly the ones spying on him, but they're calling him a pervert? Is there no justice in this world?!

Kitagawa Yuu became increasingly annoyed and finally couldn't help but retort.

"How dare you call the god you serve a pervert? You know that's blasphemy! You deserve to be burned at the stake! As my priestess, shouldn't you dedicate your body and soul to me and serve me wholeheartedly?"

Chapter 207 One more wouldn't hurt, right?

Upon hearing this, Shinobu's face flushed bright red, almost to the point of dripping water.

Even so, she still refused to admit defeat, and retorted in a low voice, "I want to offer my body to you and serve you, it's just that you're too cowardly to accept it!"

"Okay, you win!"

Kitagawa Yu froze for a second before finally giving in. He simply didn't dare to take this guy down.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kanroji Mitsuri finally realized something was wrong and asked in confusion, "A god? A shrine maiden?"

“That’s right,” Kitagawa Yu said, “I am a god from another world, and they are both shrine maidens of my shrine, so… um.”

Kitagawa Yu wanted to say, "So if you're going to find a husband, go find someone else," but Kanroji Mitsuri hadn't confessed yet; she had only stolen a few glances at him openly.

What if he's overthinking it? Wouldn't that be too much of a disaster?

However, Kanroji Mitsuri on the other side first showed a surprised expression, but then her eyes lit up and she became excited.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Although I'm a bit stronger, can eat a bit more, and have a strange hair color, in the eyes of the gods, I should still be an ordinary person, right?"

“Witches are servants of the gods, who completely dedicate their bodies and souls to the gods, so they can be seen as marrying the gods.”

"What if I became his priestess?"

Kanroji Mitsuri blushed again, her excitement growing stronger.

As for whether Kitagawa Yu is a god or not, she doesn't care at all. As far as she can see, Kitagawa Yu is not only so handsome and powerful, but he also doesn't complain about her eating fifty sakura mochi in one meal, and he has strange gradient hair. This perfectly meets her criteria for choosing a husband.

If Kitagawa Yu really is a god, wouldn't that be even better? She could marry a god!
