Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

However, she didn't know that this situation was different from what she had encountered before; she had overestimated the quality of some people.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The crisp sound of bells rang out.

"welcome!"

Chizuka, who had been leaning on her arms behind the bar, suddenly sat up straight, but after seeing that it was Kitagawa Yu who had pushed the door open, she immediately lay back down.

"Oh, so it's Yu and the others who are finally back. I thought we had more guests."

At 8 p.m., Kitagawa Yu, who had just taken Shoko and Yuzuru home, was immediately teased by Chizuka when he returned to the coffee shop.

However, Kitagawa Yu hasn't seen Chizuka for over a month, so it feels quite warm and familiar.

"Judging from what you're saying, are there many guests today?"

"Of course! Didn't you see that Ayako had to change her clothes to help?"

"Ayako? Hasn't she gone back yet?"

Kitagawa Yu turned his head in surprise and looked at the seats where Ayumi and Ayako usually sat.

At the same time, Ayako, who was helping to tidy up the table, also heard the noise and turned around. Her red and white traditional shrine maiden outfit perfectly accentuated her figure, and her slightly swaying hair, combined with her smile as she turned around, made Kitagawa Yu so amazed that he forgot to breathe.

At that moment, Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized that if there were standards for shrine maidens, then Ayako, dressed as a shrine maiden, would be the most standard and perfect one.

Even though he had watched so many anime and comics, he couldn't find one that could compare to it.

Even Ayumi, who was standing not far from her, became a background figure for a moment and was completely ignored.

"Seniors, you're back!"

It wasn't until Ayako spoke up that Kitagawa Yu finally snapped out of his daze, looking at the rag and spray bottle in her hand, and couldn't help but show an apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect there to be so many guests today, which has made you do all this."

He was surprised to see such an elegant and sophisticated young lady wiping tables and cleaning up trash like an ordinary waitress. This was beyond his imagination, and he felt both touched and guilty.

However, Ayako didn't find it difficult at all. She casually brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I also have to do cleaning duties at school, so you don't have to be so polite, senior. If you feel embarrassed, then you can help me write a song again. I've been racking my brains all day and I still have no clue."

“Okay then, I’ll take care of writing the song!” Kitagawa Yu said.

He can't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to songwriting, not counting the ones in his head, there are already nearly two hundred songs from the best-selling records and singles he brought back from the Conan world this time!

“By the way, senior, regarding the filming location for the ‘Kick Back’ music video, my sister suggested Yoyogi Park. What do you think, senior?” Ayako suddenly asked.

"I don't quite understand this, but I think since Yukiko-senpai brought it up, it should be possible," Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.

The original MV featuring the Eighth Prince is obviously not relevant here. What impressed him most about that MV was the scene where the Eighth Prince, wearing two giant arms, punched a sandbag away.

This obviously can't be used on Ayako and the others.

"Then, senior, can you come with me tomorrow?" Ayako naturally extended the invitation.

"Okay." Kitagawa Yu, who had nothing planned for tomorrow, agreed without much thought.

Immediately after being led by Elena, Anya, who was feeling a bit sleepy after eating and drinking her fill and taking the subway, perked up instantly. She turned to look at Elena beside her, then tugged at Chizuka and Ayumi, and her heart immediately felt "Wow, so cool!" Even her eyes seemed to sparkle.

Unfortunately, the chaotic scene she had envisioned did not materialize.

Chizuka seemed to be thinking about something, secretly pursed her lips, and sat back down.

When Ayumi thought about the increased training at the track and field club next week, and how she needed to do more practice tests this weekend, she had to suppress her curiosity about the MV shoot and give up the idea of ​​going to check it out.

As for Elena, she wasn't very familiar with Ayako, so it was obviously difficult for her to speak up.

This outcome seemed to be exactly what Ayako had anticipated. After glancing at the others out of the corner of her eye, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile flashing across her lips.

"Then I'll go change my clothes first."

Chapter 93 Choices, Growth, and Change (Two-in-One)

What song should I choose?

Having been busy all day, Kitagawa Yu decided to close the shop early tonight after Ayako left. After taking Ayumi home, he went back to his room and started thinking about the new song.

As for Chizuka, after learning that Kitagawa Yu and Elaina had just brought back a bunch of movies she hadn't seen from the Conan world, she immediately dragged Elaina back to the room to watch movies.

"Due to their immense popularity, the performance hall is now able to give Ayako and her group time four days a week, at least three songs per day, so we need to select at least two more new songs."

"No, it's true that you can perform three songs, but if you sing the same song every day, you'll definitely get sick of it, right?"

"So we should prepare two more, or even more, new songs so they can take turns performing them."

As Kitagawa Yu pondered, he took out the antique CD player he had brought back from the Conan world, put on his headphones, and began to listen and think.

He took this matter very seriously.

This is not only because of Ayako; the more new songs she releases and the more they sell, the more money she, as the composer and arranger, can earn.

When he got back, he asked out of curiosity about the revenue that Chizuka had mentioned from today's good business.

Then, upon hearing the number '7 yen', they fell silent.

Compared to the highest daily turnover of only 2 yen last week, 7 yen is indeed a significant increase. However, ever since Ayumi mentioned wanting to stay at the coffee shop after graduation, he suddenly started thinking about the issue of salary.

He made a point of inquiring about the fact that even a regular coffee shop server now earns around 1500 yen per hour.

If you're a barista, the salary is even higher, ranging from 2000 yen to 3000 yen.

Therefore, even with the shrine's tax breaks, only about 15000 yen out of the 70,000 yen in revenue was earned, and the remaining profit was barely enough to pay Chizuka and Ayumi's salaries.

He barely made any money himself.

Of course, this is still a matter of sales volume.

Even on weekends, they only sell seventy or eighty cups of coffee. Other shops would have closed down long ago.

Therefore, running a coffee shop can only be a side business, just a place for everyone to work and play together.

After all, whether it's Shoko and Anya, or Ayumi and Chizuka, they all quite like the environment here.

His main way of making money is to use the resources of this other world to write songs, novels, comics, and even animation and games.

only.

"Why do these songs all feel so ordinary, not amazing at all?"

"Is this really the best-selling album of the year?"

Is it a problem with these songs, or a problem with my ears?

After listening for a while, Kitagawa Yu unconsciously frowned.

He also knew that even best-selling albums couldn't be all gems. Generally, if an album had two or three gems, including the title track, it would be enough to make the whole album a bestseller.

But as he listened to the albums ranked down, he listened to two or three albums in a row, but he didn't hear any songs that were amazing enough to impress him.

These songs weren't bad; they were above average, but they were far from being masterpieces or truly amazing.

"Could it be that the popularity of these bands and singers themselves makes the album sales figures somewhat inflated, just like the works of those idol groups with massive followings?"

"Or is it that the timeline of the Detective Conan world is too early, and the songs from that era simply don't suit my taste?"

Kitagawa Yu stroked his chin and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out which one it was.

However, he planned to make Ayako an instant star upon her debut, relying on the overwhelming quality of her songs to rise from an ordinary underground band to fame in the shortest possible time.

Then we can't use these somewhat mediocre songs anymore.

"Let's start by choosing 3-4 Japanese songs from those I was familiar with in my past life, and then 1-2 from these best-selling albums from the Conan world. I'll give them to Ayako and the others so they can see how they sound."

After having an idea, Kitagawa Yu picked out the two best-sounding title tracks from the album he had just listened to in less than a minute.

Then, amidst the familiar songs from his past life, after some deliberation, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to directly import all three of Yoasobi's legendary best-selling works: "Monster," "Running Towards the Night," and "Ultramarine."

In addition, they added the classic opening theme "Crossing Field" from Sword Art Online to further explore what kind of results they could achieve with just these songs without the anime's influence.

When he saw that the six songs were enough to be released as a mini-album, he was quite surprised.

Especially "Running Towards the Night".

This was YOASOBI's debut song, which propelled them from complete obscurity to the top of Japan's annual hot song chart, held the number one spot on the Oricon chart for several consecutive weeks, and garnered over 2 million streams in a single year. It also helped YOASOBI earn a place on the Kohaku Uta Gassen, Japan's equivalent of the New Year's Eve gala.

The other song, "Monster," was equally impressive, directly defeating many works by artists such as Eighth Master and Lisa, and winning numerous awards that year, including Best Seller, Top Streaming Plays, Top Downloads, and Best Streaming of the Year.

Simply put, it's awesome!

"With six songs already, Ayako and the others are sure to be an instant sensation upon their debut, right?"

Under the bright incandescent light, Kitagawa Yu, sitting at his desk, couldn't help but smile excitedly, as if he could already see piles of money flying towards him.

To be honest, after his month-long trip to the Conan world, he had gotten used to spending money lavishly and never having to worry about money, which made him look down on small sums of money.

However, just a few kilometers away in an izakaya in a Shinjuku alley, Shimizu Yuna still had to put on a smiling face and greet these guys she hated from the bottom of her heart in order to earn a wage of four thousand yen per hour.

But she never expected that these people not only harbored malicious intentions and harbored ill intentions towards her, but also dared to disregard and trample on the law.

"Lend me some money!"

Every piece of furniture comes from a top luxury brand in Europe with a history of over a hundred years. At the same time, every oil painting and every piece of art used to decorate the room is enough to buy a luxury apartment in the most expensive area of ​​Minato Ward. After thinking it over all the way, Ayako Asuka returned home, changed into her compromise clothes, and strode into the living room to find Yukiko.

"Oh my, Ayako is back so early today?" Yukiko's face first showed a surprised expression, then she stood up and pulled Ayako down to sit with a smile.

"Tell me, why are you back so early? And you need to borrow money? Is it because you don't have enough money after deducting your date expenses?"

"no!"

Ayako looked at Yukiko, who was blinking her cute big eyes and had a gossipy look on her face. Her originally tight lips twitched involuntarily, and a row of black lines appeared on her forehead. She almost lost her composure.

"I need to rent a recording studio!"

Yukiko's pink lips curled into an "O" in surprise: "Rent a recording studio? Could it be that Yu-kun has written a new song again?"

"Hmm? Yu-kun?" Ayako's slender eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

Why is there such an intimate way of addressing each other?

She can accept Ayumi, Chizuka, and Elena calling Kitagawa Yu by those names because they are Kitagawa Yu's friends, but Yukiko cannot!

Absolutely not!
