Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"It's fine for us to watch the show and enjoy the drama, but it's not good to actively cause trouble, you know? Once or twice is one thing, but what if we keep doing this and make Conan turn evil? So we need to take it slow and steady~"

"Onii-chan, what does 'slow and steady wins the race' mean?"

"Well, the idea behind 'slow and steady wins the race' is that if you eat ten ice creams in one go and stuff yourself to death, you won't be able to eat ice cream anymore. So, you only eat one ice cream a day—no, one a week—and that way you can keep eating them forever!"

Anya immediately understood upon hearing this, and then a very conflicted expression appeared on her little face.

Is one ice cream a week too little?

"Onii-chan, can we have two? One isn't enough."

At this moment, Anya was preoccupied with the important question of how many ice creams she could eat in a week, and had long forgotten about Conan.

Including the transfer at Kyoto Station, it took about an hour in total before the group arrived at the renowned Fushimi Inari Shrine.

"Yu, where are the Thousand Torii Gates from the travel guide? Aren't torii gates supposed to be the main gates of shrines? I don't see them."

"Ordinary torii gates are indeed the gates separating the human world from the divine world, but there are so many of them that they are built on both sides of the approach to the temple."

Kitagawa Yu looked up at the enormous torii gate in front of him, which was 20 meters high and 12 meters wide, with ancient divine script and patterns engraved on its bottom, and couldn't help but show a hint of envy in his eyes.

There's no way around it; compared to the torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, the torii gates of this shrine are just too...delicate!

"correct!"

Kitagawa Yu took out the glasses that could see the mystical side from his pocket and put them on, then walked through the torii gate with the others.

"There's no energy fluctuation. I guess I was overthinking it."

After walking up the stone steps for a while, the iconic Senbon Torii (thousands of torii gates) finally came into view.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Several girls, including the witch Elena, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Of course, Anya is definitely not included in this.

For Anya, nothing was as appealing as the thousands of torii gates in front of her or the most famous shrines. The peanut snacks in her hand were far more attractive.

"Hey! Ran, Elaine, Ai! Let's go take some pictures!"

"Yeah!"

"There are people here, let's walk a little further and see—"

"Um!!"

At the suggestion of the garden, Elena and her friends immediately quickened their pace and began looking for a spot without other tourists to take photos.

Although Anya wasn't particularly interested in taking photos, she still joined in the fun and ran ahead with them on her short legs.

For a moment, only Kitagawa Yu and Conan were left behind.

"Hey, what's going on between you and Sonoko?"

After several days of searching, Conan finally found an opportunity and couldn't help but tilt his head and look at Kitagawa Yu curiously, his eyes burning with gossip.

Indeed, gossiping and enjoying the drama are human nature, and even Detective Dee is no exception.

"Sonoko seems to really like you!"

"I know."

Kitagawa Yu casually remarked that he wasn't the kind of light novel protagonist who was clueless about romance, so how could he not see through Sonoko's feelings?

Besides, Sonoko has already subtly confessed her feelings more than once!

"So what are your thoughts? Are you going to agree?"

"I've already refused, but it doesn't seem to have any effect." Kitagawa Yu glanced at Sonoko, who was already playing around with Elena and the others in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"I see. Sonoko is indeed rarely this persistent and proactive." Conan stroked his chin and nodded, then his eyes lit up, and he said with a mischievous grin:

"If you ask me, you should just say yes. I think you two are a good match."

"Hehe. When did you go blind? Or is your head itchy again?"

Kitagawa Yu glared at Conan with annoyance, and before Conan could react and run away, he delivered a loving punch to his head.

"Don't you know kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters? Believe me or not, I'll call Kaito right now and have him come over and have a chat with Ran. He got kicked so badly by you yesterday, I think he'd be happy to!"

"."

Upon hearing the mention of Kaito, Conan, who was previously clutching his head and complaining of pain, immediately widened his eyes with a deadpan expression.

"If that guy dares to show his face near Xiaolan again, I'll kick him to the sky!"

Kitagawa Yu chuckled lightly, "You never know, maybe one day you'll beg him to pretend to be you and Ran intimately together~"

"That's impossible!" Conan exclaimed instinctively, his eyes wide.

But then he suddenly remembered something, and shut his mouth with a gloomy expression.

Because what Kitagawa Yu said is actually quite possible. If Ran suspects his current identity, he might really need Kaito to impersonate him and appear at the same time as 'Shinichi Kudo' to dispel Ran's suspicions.

"But even if it's really necessary, I can't let Kaito take advantage of Ran! Yes! That's my bottom line!"

Kitagawa Yu simply smiled and said nothing.

If the plot remains the same, Kaito almost kissed Ran several times!

Conan stared at Kitagawa Yu with dead fish eyes.

There was something off about Kitagawa Yu's smile, giving him a strange, creepy feeling.

However, Kitagawa Yu's smile quickly faded.

【Kami Samadhi, please bless me so I can successfully confess my feelings to Yuta!】

Chapter 85 Another treacherous subject is trying to harm me?

(Please subscribe~~~)

The layout was similar to that of most shrines. After walking through the approach that was several kilometers long and completely covered by thousands of torii gates, the group soon arrived at the worship hall.

After washing their hands, with Sonoko's financial power, the group not only met the shrine's main deity directly, but also, led by the main deity and four shrine maidens, bypassed the worship hall and arrived at the main hall where the true form of the deity is enshrined.

then

"She was clearly praying to the Inari God in her garden, why are you, you treacherous system, meddling in? Stealing her voice on her turf, you're shameless!"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but curse this despicable system in his heart.

There's nothing I can do. If it were any other wish, I might be able to find a way to fulfill it, but how am I supposed to accept this one?

"Duang!"

Conan, who was passing by, suddenly felt a sharp pain on his head. He couldn't help but clutch his head, grimacing as he squatted down on the ground, tilting his head to look at Kitagawa Yu.

Why did you hit me again?

"If you're not sincere when you worship the gods, who else should I beat up if not you?"

“Meow meow meow???”

Conan was initially completely bewildered, a big question mark appearing on his head. It took him a while to realize that Kitagawa Yu was just teasing him for no reason, and a 'V' sign popped out on his forehead.

"You idiot—"

"Ahem, are you saying that Kudo Washi deliberately shrunk his body so that he could take a bath with Ran and see Ran's naked body?"

"."

Conan couldn't help but widen his eyes, inwardly exclaiming, "I've never seen such a shameless person!"

But she still obediently kept her mouth shut.

"Damn it! Kamisama, if you really exist, please bless that bastard Kitagawa Yu so he'll get his comeuppance! Oh, and it would be best if he and Sonoko were a couple! One a gossip, the other a shameless jerk. Wait a minute! If those two actually get together, wouldn't I be in even worse shape?"

"Well, maybe we should just pray that Kitagawa Yu never finds a girlfriend in his entire life!"

"Amitabha Buddha~ Amitabha Buddha~"

chanting Amitabha Buddha in a shrine, that's really something else.

More importantly, perhaps because he was bullied so badly by Kitagawa Yu, Conan's willpower is quite strong this time.

Over here, Kitagawa Yu had just vented his frustration on Conan, and seeing Conan's expression of wanting to rush up and bite him but not daring to, he finally felt refreshed.

The system notification sounded in his ear once again.

"What? Bless me? Pfft! Curse me to be single forever! That's fucking vicious!"

"Conan, that elementary school grim reaper, really does have a black heart!"

"hehe."

Conan, who was sincerely worshipping in front of the main hall, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He instinctively sensed that two malicious gazes were looking him up and down.

The owner of that gaze was like a demon from hell, holding a knife and fork, staring fiercely at this pure, lovely, kind, and honest delicious soul, pondering where to begin his bite.

This sent another shiver down his spine, making him feel as if he had been thrown into a freezer during the hottest days of summer.

"Damn it! Which scoundrel is trying to harm me this time?!"

Conan, looking surprised and uncertain, turned his head like an owl and his eyes met Kitagawa Yu's instantly.

then

Kitagawa Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile that said, "You're dead."

The next second, Conan suddenly felt a crisp 'crack' sound from inside his body, and his neck was twisted as expected.

"Hiss—damn! Is this guy poisonous?!"

Conan grimaced and clutched his neck, cursing under his breath.

Not far away, Kitagawa Yu was also stunned for a moment when he saw Conan suddenly clutching his neck with a contorted expression. However, he quickly realized what was happening and almost burst out laughing on the spot.

"Heh heh, got your comeuppance, huh? You dare curse me? Believe me or not, I'll curse you to be a primary school student for life too?"
