Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Although this method is less efficient than using a graphics tablet, it can provide more jobs, so it should be more beneficial in terms of social impact.

"Light novels? I haven't tried that, but I have tried drawing comics. Look—" Shimizu Yuna said, taking out her phone, unlocking the screen, and showing him photos from her album.

It was only then that he suddenly noticed that Shimizu Yuna's phone seemed to be a model from five or six years ago.

A female high school student, who should be at the age of pursuing the latest trends and fashions in Japan, is still using this kind of antique phone?

He would have been very surprised if he hadn't known about Shimizu Yuna's situation.

"My mom bought this for me when I got third place in the whole grade in sixth grade," Shimizu Yuna explained with a proud smile, noticing his gaze.

But this only made Kitagawa Yu's heart tremble involuntarily.

Taking a deep breath, Kitagawa Yu looked at the photo on the screen, which was just a typical four-panel comic.

Kitagawa Yu scrolled through the pages and then roughly understood why Shimizu Yuna had given up.

Objectively speaking, Shimizu Yuna's drawing skills are quite good, at least not inferior to those works that can be published in ordinary manga magazines.

However, the plot and storyboarding are somewhat disappointing.

It's probably just a complete flop!

"That drawing is quite good."

"Kitagawa-kun, you don't need to comfort me. When I submitted my work, the editor impatiently threw it back at me, saying that I was wasting his time."

"..." Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but frown, somewhat annoyed.

Even if someone's drawing skills are really bad, shouldn't they at least have basic manners? And Shimizu Yuna's drawing skills aren't bad at all!

However, Shimizu Yuna smiled and said without any concern, "At the time, the editor said that a girl like me should just be an idol, why should I be a manga artist? So I was just a little disappointed, but I wasn't angry at all."

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he said, "Why don't you try making a wish to the gods and gain the talent of a manga artist and a light novel writer?"

"Huh? Is this okay?" Shimizu Yuna's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why not?" Kitagawa Yu asked rhetorically.

"Because I've already made a wish once, and if you count the previous ones, that's twice. Wouldn't it be too greedy to make another wish?"

"This"

Kitagawa Yu was speechless.

"How about we make a deal with the gods? Whether it's curing my tone-deafness or gaining the talent of a light novel writer or manga artist, I only need to fulfill one of these conditions?"

Shimizu Yuna looked at Kitagawa Yu with a strange expression. It was the first time she had ever heard of making a wish to a god in such a way as negotiating with the god.

However, since it was Kitagawa Yu who asked her to do it, she agreed.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Shimizu Yuna clasped her hands together again and closed her eyes.

Just a few seconds later, Kitagawa Yu's mind was once again filled with system message notifications.

"My God! There are still more?!"

Is she a human wishing machine?

Kitagawa Yu stared intently at Shimizu Yuna. If Shimizu Yuna opened her eyes now, she would definitely be startled by him.

However, he quickly calmed down, and the soft spot in his heart was touched again.

"I've made my promise!"

"Ah, let's go then."

"Ah."

Although Kitagawa Yu was incredibly focused and serious when making his wish, he could sense that Shimizu Yuna didn't have any expectations for it; she was simply making a wish.

Perhaps this is because, from childhood to adulthood, she has made countless wishes to the gods, just like she just did, but has never received a response.

Thinking of this, the last bit of joy and excitement in Kitagawa Yu's heart quickly faded away, leaving only immense pity for the girl beside him who appeared obedient and gentle, giving off a fragile feeling, but was exceptionally strong inside.

"I have arrived."

After walking for about five more minutes, the two arrived at an old two-story apartment building next to a small park. It was the kind of building that often appeared in anime and looked to be decades old.

The long and narrow apartment building itself does not occupy a large area, and each floor is divided into four rooms, with each apartment estimated to have a usable area of ​​only about 30 square meters.

However, even such a small, old, and somewhat remote apartment would cost at least 60,000 to 70,000 yen per month in a big city like Tokyo.

"Shall I go up?"

Shimizu Yuna's voice pulled Kitagawa Yu, who was somewhat lost in thought, back to reality.

"Um, Shimizu-san, Yuna, do you know what my family does?"

"I...I know," Shimizu Yuna gasped, noticing Kitagawa Yu's change in addressing her, feeling both surprised and shy.

"I've heard from my classmates that Yu's family runs a shrine, right?"

Shimizu Yuna whispered, her voice trembling with nervousness when she said "Yu".

“That’s right, and I’m the head priest of our family’s shrine, you know~” Kitagawa Yu said with a smile.

Because of Ayako, his family background was often mentioned by his classmates at school, who said that a priest of a dilapidated shrine was not worthy of Ayako at all. He even happened to run into her several times, so it was not surprising that Shimizu Yuna knew about it.

“So, this time is completely different from before. The gods will definitely hear your wish! They will respond to it!” Kitagawa Yu said, looking into Shimizu Yuna’s eyes with utmost seriousness.

The moment their eyes met again, it was as if an invisible, immense force was pulling them toward each other.

However, this time, both Shimizu Yuna and Kitagawa Yu restrained themselves rationally.

"Okay, then I'll go up!"

Somewhat flustered, Shimizu Yuna avoided Kitagawa Yu's gaze, waved her hand, and quickly ran towards the metal staircase not far away.

Kitagawa Yu took a deep breath and watched her run up to the second floor, to the apartment closest to the road, frantically unlock the door with her key, go inside, and make sure she closed the door before turning around and leaving.

Of course, he didn't go far, because he still had to fulfill Shimizu Yuna's wish.

"Adding new functions to the healing spell seems unnecessary. With a month-long cooldown and the weakness buff, it's better to save it for crucial moments."

"Then we need to exchange for a new ability that can modify the body or grant the target a talent."

"Hiss! So expensive! Even a one-month CD costs 50 points of Wish Power? And it can only be given to the other person the talents, abilities or knowledge that I possess, which is equivalent to talent sharing."

"But that makes sense. This is granting talent, enough to change a person's destiny! In some ways, it's no less powerful than resurrection!"

"Let's use the power of our wishes to help her cure her tone-deafness first. Her voice happens to be very suitable for songs like 'Renai Circulation,' 'Summer Time,' and 'I'm Sorry for Being So Cute,' which Ayako probably can't sing."

Just imagining Ayako singing and dancing to cute songs on stage for a moment in his mind made Kitagawa Yu shudder.

No, this doesn't match at all!

Yukiko would be a perfect match, she's incredibly cute!

However, how could a chaebol heiress like Yukiko possibly become a teenage idol?

"In addition, Yuna has a certain foundation in drawing, but she is not very good at setting plots and storyboards. So I just need to draw the storyboards of the comics I read in my previous life and the best-selling comics I brought back from the Conan world for her, and she can improve them. That way, it will be a joint work of the two of us."

"If it continues to sell well in the world, then I can share more of the profits with her, which will save me time and help her as well."

Kitagawa Yu thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more reliable.

Because of the refusal to use graphics tablets, professional comic artists in this world usually hire two or three, or even more, assistants to help them. Otherwise, even a master artist would find it unbearable to hand-draw one chapter a week for so long.

"That's it!"

With a thought, Kitagawa Yuu's wish power in his system account transformed into tiny points of starlight that only he could see, flying towards Shimizu Yuna's house, passing through the open window, finding Shimizu Yuna, and quickly merging into her body.

It was a single modification, and it only corrected the tone-deafness, not bestowed any particularly powerful talent, so it only consumed 5 points of Wish Power.

With the fulfillment of his two wishes, he actually gained another 9 wish powers, making him a net gain of 4 points.

"hiss!"

"How can there be such adorable experience babies in this world!"

While happy, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.

All things considered, he had only known Shimizu Yuna for a short time, and had even met her no more than five times, yet he had already obtained more than thirty points of wish power from her!

Chapter 97 I'm really not sleepy!

"Ah~~~~"

In the early morning at Yoyogi Park, Kitagawa Yu sat on a wooden bench, with lush green grass beneath his feet, breathing in the fresh air filled with the fragrance of leaves and earth, and then... let out a long yawn.

"Senior, this is for you!"

"Thank you!"

A steaming cup of coffee was handed to him.

Kitagawa Yu reached out and took it, then looked up and saw Ayako's stunningly beautiful face that eclipsed even the sunlight, and the look of concern in her eyes.

But for some reason, his gaze seemed to move uncontrollably downwards, landing on those glistening, sweet lips that looked like candy, and a sudden flutter ran through his heart.

"Did you not sleep well last night, senior? It's all my fault that you had to come so early."

Ayako's apologetic voice rang out, like a bucket of cold water, quickly extinguishing the flame that had just begun to ignite in his heart.

Kitagawa Yu smiled and shook his head.

"It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep at all!"

"what?"

Ayako gasped in surprise, about to ask him what was going on, when she saw him open his backpack, take out a stack of white papers, and hand them to her.

"This is?"

"The new song for you, I've already written it~"

Ayako was stunned for a moment, then took the papers with a look of surprise. Then, her expression quickly changed from surprise to shock, because there were six songs on the stack of papers, and the lyrics for all of them were already filled in.
