Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Like a punctured balloon, the already enormous black Bodhidharma body rapidly expanded and exploded once more.

Immediately afterwards, the true form hidden within that enormous body—the five-centimeter-sized Bodhidharma pendant that was also cut in two—was also enveloped in a layer of scarlet flames and turned to ashes in less than a thousandth of a second.

Meanwhile, on Lushan Shopping Street, two kilometers away, there was a three-story detached house not far from Bu Mei's home.

Koji Majima, who had been hysterically screaming "Shinai! Shinai! Shinai—" in his room while frantically scribbling on the test paper in front of him with bloodshot eyes, suddenly let out a scream, vomited blood, and collapsed onto the desk.

"It's done!"

The killing blade in his hand disappeared again, and Murasame turned around, landing in front of Kitagawa Yu like a fairy.

The raindrops that had been stagnant all around had resumed falling at some point, but strangely they passed through her seemingly solid body and hit the ground, splashing water droplets.

"Thank you!"

Kitagawa Yu thought to himself, and readily paid the agreed-upon payment.

Murasame watched as the clusters of pure white light flew towards her, quickly merging into her body upon touching her palm, and a faint smile of satisfaction appeared on her lips.

"I should be the one thanking you, after all, there aren't many gods as generous as you in this day and age. But why are you still in this body? And you can't even beat a little monster like this? Could you have been sealed away?" Murasame couldn't help but ask curiously.

"this."

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain.

He doesn't know enough about the mystical side. What if he makes things up and gets it wrong?

"What's wrong, You-ni?"

Just then, Ayumi's concerned voice rang out, instantly making him feel secretly relieved, as if he had been granted a pardon.

"It's nothing, you go change your clothes, I'll take you home."

"Oh"

As Kitagawa Yu spoke, he picked up the umbrella that had just fallen from the ground and held it over his and Ayumi's heads.

Murasame has lived for over a thousand years. Although he is a yokai and his mind is pure, unlike humans who are more complex, it is still clear that Kitagawa Yu doesn't want to answer.

If it were someone else, she might not have let it go so easily, after all, she could sense that there might be a big secret hidden in this, a secret that could even be helpful to her.

But if it's Kitagawa Yu...

Murasame gently brushed the character "缘" (fate/destiny) on her arm, smiled, and suppressed her curiosity. She didn't ask any further questions and took her leave.

However, when her gaze swept over Ayumi, who was clinging tightly to Kitagawa Yu's arm and practically hanging on him with a sweet expression on her face, she began to have some guesses.

"He cultivates by possessing this human's body and personally helping them form a karmic connection, right? That's not a bad method."

Kitagawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Murasame's figure quickly disappear and leave.

"They say it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away, but this Murasame is actually quite easy to talk to."

A sudden flash of lightning turned the sky deathly white once more, followed by a deafening rumble of thunder, and the rain seemed to intensify.

Honestly, in this kind of torrential rain, it doesn't really matter whether you change your clothes or not. Even if you're carrying an umbrella, you'll be soaked through 90% of your clothes within 500 meters.

However, wearing cold, soaking wet clothes all the time could easily lead to a cold, especially since Ayumi had just done a lot of training. So, at his request, Ayumi went to the track and field club's locker room to change into her school uniform first.

He waited at the door of the changing room, fiddling with his wet hair while reviewing the battle that had just taken place.

"Why does that black Dharma seem so familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Although he didn't see the black Daruma appear and then burst like a balloon, perhaps because he was enveloped by Murasame's blood flames, he did see the Daruma pendant that had been split in two at the end and felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Unfortunately, he had been thinking about it the whole way, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

After thinking for a while and still having no clue, I could only make a note of it for the time being, and then start thinking about the exchange issue.

Although Murasame is incredibly cost-effective as he is always available and only requires a little low-grade divine power to deal with, he really needs some methods to deal with these mystical enemies.

"Ideally, it should be able to cast spells over extremely long distances and also be able to counterattack based on the enemy's attacks and aura."

"The injuries are barely visible on the outside. The power can't be too weak either."

"It would be even better if we could purify the enemy's life force, divine power, and demonic power and turn them into our own."

"Oh, right, we can also combine attacks with spiritual vision, like the Sharingan in Naruto. Once activated, it not only allows you to see monsters and curses, but also enables you to launch attacks—"

Kitagawa Yu tried to create such a skill in the system and gave it the awesome name "Mangekyou Sharingan".

"Damn! A month's worth of CDs requires 80 Wish Power?! Why don't you just rob someone?!"

"Only 100 points for a week's worth of CD? That's quite a bargain."

"What a waste of money!"

Kitagawa Yu glanced at the system panel.

Because he just fulfilled Ayumi's wish and gained 7 points of wish power, he now has 46 points of wish power remaining.

"Looks like we're already halfway through? Should we save it up a bit more?"

It's like a couple who's reached the point of discussing marriage, facing the dilemma of whether to buy a small apartment of 30 or 40 square meters to make do, or to endure it and continue renting until they've saved enough money to buy a big house. It's really a difficult decision!

For him, the glasses that allow him to see the mystical side, and the Conan-branded amulet that can ward off mystical attacks, are like rented houses.

"Oh right! Today is Friday. We can start searching again after 11 p.m. When we go to other worlds, we can not only gain a wave of wish power, but we might also get other extra benefits!"

so.

Why buy a house?! Isn't renting better?!

Besides, most young people in Japan rent apartments when they get married anyway!

The boulder that had been pressing on his chest shattered instantly, and Kitagawa took a long, deep breath, feeling completely refreshed.

But just then, Ayumi's exclamation suddenly came from the changing room behind them.

"Ayumi! Ayumi, what's wrong?!"

Kitagawa Yu quickly asked, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety, after all, they had just encountered a monster attack.

No one answered from inside the changing room.

Kitagawa Yu rushed in, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Ayumi kneeling on the floor, her hands covering her chest, her head down, motionless.

She was only wearing a pair of panties.

Light blue, quite cute.

However, Kitagawa Yu didn't have time to think about it and rushed to her side to check on her condition.

But just as he squatted down, Ayumi suddenly pounced on him.

To be honest, his first reaction was that Ayumi was possessed by some kind of monster and wanted to pounce on him and bite him like in those horror movies.

After all, in this torrential rain, even if the incandescent light in the changing room is on, it doesn't bring any warmth at all. Instead, it gives people a cold and pale feeling, which is even more terrifying than the atmosphere of a horror movie.

Just as he was about to push Ayumi away, he suddenly saw Ayumi looking up with a blushing face and shy eyes. He froze, and an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that Ayumi is—"

"boom!"

Kitagawa Yu was tackled to the ground by Ayumi. Before he could say anything, Ayumi, as if cheering herself on, shouted loudly with a slight tremor, "This time, this time I must run ahead of them!"

After saying that, Ayumi closed her eyes and kissed Kitagawa Yu hard.

His movements were still as clumsy as before, but like a struck match, they instantly ignited the already surging affection Kitagawa Yu had for her.

After a passionate kiss, Kitagawa Yu picked her up and placed her on a bench in the middle of the changing room. Looking into her eyes, he finally asked:

"Have you really thought about it?"

Ayumi met his burning gaze. Although she was extremely nervous and shy, she did not back down in the slightest.

"Just a gentle touch."

This soft murmur was like a switch, instantly unlocking the restraints in his heart, making him take the initiative to kiss her.

But just as I was about to omit three thousand words, the phone that had just been tossed aside along with my soaked pocket suddenly rang.

"."

Kitagawa Yu froze and stopped.

He only has so many contacts in his phone, so the only ones who would call him at a time like this are Chizuka or Ayako.

So, should we answer or not?

Kitagawa Yu thought for a moment.

If it's Ayako calling, that's fine, but if it's Chizuka calling, given her temper, she'll definitely keep calling until she gets through.

"Should I go answer this call first?"

Ayumi pushed him hard, her face flushed, and turned her head away.

Although Kitagawa Yu was extremely frustrated, he still got up, walked over, picked up his phone, and answered the call.

He guessed right; the call was indeed from Chizuka.

"How much longer until you're back? The food's getting cold."

A slightly reproachful but concerned remark immediately stirred a sense of guilt in him.

"that."

Kitagawa Yu initially wanted to make up an excuse, but considering Ayumi was still around, lying would definitely leave a bad impression. After hesitating for a moment, he honestly said, "I noticed Ayumi didn't seem to have brought an umbrella to school today, so I went to pick her up. I'll take her home first; it'll probably take about half an hour."

After saying that, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but sigh silently.

You definitely can't do much in half an hour.

A hint of frustration flashed across Ayumi's eyes, but she quickly cheered herself up.

She hadn't thought about why Kitagawa Yu was here before, but now that she knew the reason, she was so touched that her heart almost melted, having never been cared for and protected like this before.

"N-No, it's okay. As long as Yu wants it, I... I can do it anytime."

She doesn't need to be a girlfriend; as long as she can continue to be by Kitagawa Yu's side as before, she's willing to do anything Kitagawa Yu asks of her.

Kitagawa Yu, who had just hung up the phone, stared blankly at Ayumi.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that Ayumi, who usually seemed so simple-minded, actually had such a charming and adorable side.

My previously restless heart quickly calmed down.
