Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Unfortunately, Ayumi Takahara was unaware of Anya's abilities, so she simply took Anya's words as comfort. Although she immediately put on a smiling face, her mood did not improve as a result.

Kitagawa Yu naturally noticed this and tapped her head slightly with his finger.

"Please, you may not be very smart, but you're not hopelessly stupid."

"You only got 11 points on yesterday's test, so getting 15 points today is a significant improvement! If you keep improving by 4 points every day, you'll not only pass the exam, you'll probably get full marks!"

"Huh? Is that how it's calculated?"

Takahara Ayumi covered her head with her hands, but her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Kitagawa Yu.

"Of course it's true~ So you need to maintain your current mindset and enthusiasm, just like when you're training in track and field, put your whole heart into doing practice problems, understand~"

"Yeah, I see!"

Takahara Ayumi nodded repeatedly, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing. It's just that the way you were just now was so funny!"

"Come here right now and do my homework!"

Seeing Kitagawa Yu raise his arm again, Takahara Ayumi quickly grabbed the test paper and picked up her pen, but she still kept making strange noises.

On the other side, Anya looked at Kitagawa Yu, then at Takahara Ayumi, and suddenly pouted angrily.

Why not ask? Why not ask?

"Even if Onii-chan asks, I won't tell him, but shouldn't he at least ask?"

"Isn't he curious about what Ayako-neechan went to do?"

For the first time, Anya realized how painful it was to hear someone else's secret but not be able to share it with them.

Seeing that Ayumi Takahara had already buried herself in her work, Anya couldn't resist any longer. She ran quickly to Yu Kitagawa's side on her short legs, tugged at his arm, and whispered, "Onii-chan, aren't you curious about what Ayako-neechan is doing?"

“Ayako is just going home, what else could she be doing?”

As Kitagawa Yu spoke, he walked towards the bar, intending to make himself another cup of coffee and then relax by reading some comics.

Seeing this, Anya pouted and quickly chased after them, saying mysteriously, "Aya-neechan hasn't gone home yet!"

Kitagawa Yu continued with his own business, only responding with a sound of agreement, which almost made Anya burst out laughing.

After her mind-reading ability was activated and she discovered that Kitagawa Yu truly didn't care, Anya couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ayako-neechan took a car to Shimokitazawa, saying something about 'not having enough money' and 'performing,' but she didn't go home!"

After saying that, Anya immediately felt better.

But Kitagawa Yu's face immediately showed a strange expression after hearing this.

If you only hear things like "not enough money" or "performance," you might have some ulterior motives. After all, in Japan, it's not uncommon for high school girls to do that kind of thing, even in a prestigious school like theirs.

But if you add 'Shimokitazawa' to the mix, Kitagawa Yu immediately thinks of that comedy anime he watched in his previous life.

"Even a girl like Ayako Asuka plays in a band?"

"It doesn't seem like it."

"But who says a cool and aloof elf princess can't be in a band and become an underground idol?"

Chapter 15: The Pink-Haired Girl Turns Out to Be Black

On the bus to Shimokitazawa, Ayako Asuka, completely unaware that her biggest secret had been exposed by Anya's superpowers, was excitedly making a phone call to her teammates.

"Yes! Yes! Chiyo-senpai, I promise I won't stand you up this time!"

"And it's not just tonight's performance; I should also be able to attend rehearsals on Saturday and Sunday! However, from now on, my makeup box and costumes will have to be stored at the performance hall."

"Okay, see you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Ayako Asuka looked out the window at the bustling streets flashing by, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a captivating smile that could make any man swoon. She was clearly overjoyed.

"Neither my senior nor Anya recognized me, which is great!"

"And I never expected to be so lucky as to run into a senior tutoring Ayumi, so I can have an excuse to go home late."

"As for whether my sister and those people at school will misunderstand, my senior shouldn't mind, right? At worst, I'll just become his girlfriend."

Asuka Ayako's fair, jade-like cheeks involuntarily flushed with two faint blushes, and she quickly dismissed the thought.

"Unfortunately, the tickets for the recent performances still haven't sold out. I have to pay out of my own pocket money every time. This can't go on."

"After it was exposed last time, Yukiko has restricted my weekly allowance, so I have to sell at least four tickets for each performance."

"Four sheets, 6000 yen. Twice a week, that's 12000 yen. Even if you work part-time, at 1500 yen an hour, it would take eight hours."

"Aside from the performances on Thursday and Friday nights, there are also rehearsals on Saturday and Sunday. On average, I need to work two hours a day."

After silently calculating in her mind, Ayako Asuka's smile vanished without a trace, and she exuded an even stronger, more icy aura than usual, making her seem unapproachable.

The sight made the middle-aged office worker who was dozing off in the back seat shiver and unconsciously wrap his suit jacket tighter around himself.

Ten minutes later, the bus arrived at Shimokitazawa Station on time.

Ayako Asuka glanced at the time on her phone and quickly got out of the car.

As one of the most popular shopping destinations for young people in Tokyo, Shimokitazawa not only has a large number of fashion boutiques and daily necessities stores, but also many cafes, bars, and underground performance halls specifically for bands and girl groups.

Such places are naturally not lacking in beautiful women; at least the chances of finding one here are much higher than in places like schools. Although over 90% of them are wearing makeup, they still look quite pretty under the neon lights at night.

Even in such an environment, Ayako Asuka remained the most eye-catching presence.

In fact, because most of the people on the street are avant-garde and daring young people, Ayako Asuka attracts far more attention than she does at school.

Even though her aura was several times colder than it was at school, quite a few brave souls still ran up to her and struck up a conversation.

So, in the short distance of less than 100 meters from the station to the performance hall, she had already turned down seven people.

"Huh? Anri-senpai, what are you still doing here? Isn't the performance about to start?"

"Oh, it's Ayako-chan! We still have twenty minutes before our performance, no rush, I just came out for a smoke~"

Anri Sada, who is two years older than Ayako Asuka and plays the drums in the band, was leaning against the wall of the entrance passage covered with posters, smoking. She turned around when she heard the voice and said with a grin.

With her bright red lips, messy hair, dark denim shorts, and a cropped white tank top, she showed off her beautiful figure and looked incredibly hot and sexy.

"Seriously, isn't smoking prohibited in the performance hall?"

"Hehe, I just had a craving for a cigarette. By the way, this is the first time Ayako-chan has come here without makeup. Tsk tsk, if you were willing to sell tickets with this face, your tickets would probably be sold out by now, right?"

Ayako Asuka reluctantly snatched the cigarette from her hand, threw it into the trash can next to her, and then pulled her arm and walked backstage.

"I joined the band because I wanted people to like my songs, and I wanted to conquer the audience with my music!"

"Yes, yes, I misspoke, but Ayako-chan, when do you think you'll finish writing your new song?"

"."

Seeing Ayako Asuka biting her lip in embarrassment, Anri Sada chuckled.

Writing songs isn't difficult, but writing a good song is no easy task. Plus, with a lot happening lately, her songwriting project is still stuck at the very beginning.

However, she became incredibly skilled at applying and removing makeup, things she had never done before, over the past summer vacation.

Previously, she would put on makeup at home before going out, but now she is in the backstage lounge of the performance hall.

"Little Ayako-chan, are you ready?"

"Of course, I was ready a long time ago!"

"Let's go then, it's our turn to go on stage."

"Um...wait a minute, let me send a text message to my senior first, otherwise he'll worry."

"Huh? Senior?"

"Uh, it's nothing, let's go!"

Ten minutes later, Ayako Asuka, as if she had undergone a transformation, picked up her guitar and, together with Anri Sada, went up onto the stage of the performance hall.

A short while later, the performance hall, which had just calmed down, was filled with restless music again.

However, the audience's reaction was rather lukewarm.

However, if Kitagawa Yu were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that the rock-and-roll-style lead singer and guitarist on stage was the smoky-eyed girl he had been thinking about for days, who owed him a cup of coffee, two bowls of udon noodles, and an umbrella that she hadn't returned.

The two energetic song performances ended quickly, and the sparse applause from the audience did not discourage Ayako Asuka in the slightest.

After all, she really enjoyed singing. Because of her strict upbringing, she rarely even goes to karaoke.

"I'll be going now! Anri-senpai, Momo-senpai, and Minami, see you tomorrow!"

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

Be careful on the road!

"Don't worry, Momo-senpai, don't forget I'm a second-degree black belt in karate!"

After removing her makeup and changing back into her JK uniform, Ayako Asuka first arranged a performance time with Anri Sada and the other two for the next night, then quickly left the performance hall with her backpack on.

Unfortunately, she lives in Minato Ward, which is in the opposite direction from the coffee shop to Shimokitazawa. It takes her half an hour to get back by car.

"His aunt!"

At 10 p.m., Ayako Asuka did a final check on her clothes, then took out her small mirror to check that there was no trace of makeup on her face before taking a deep breath and walking into the super mansion in front of her, located in the Minato Ward. The mansion occupied 500 square meters and the land alone was worth more than 3 billion yen.

Change your shoes in the entryway.

Ayako Asuka glanced at the living room, which was still lit in the distance, and hesitated whether to go over and say hello or sneak upstairs. Just then, the person she feared most appeared across the hallway, wearing a pink T-shirt with a cute cat print and loose beige trousers, with her long, smooth, cherry-pink hair tied into a cute bun. But in Ayako's eyes, he was anything but cute.

"Big sister."

Asuka Ayako looked at her older sister, who had surpassed her in every way except for her beauty since childhood, and felt an involuntary tension in her heart.

As the younger sister, she knew all too well that her older sister, who had an IQ of 140 and had taken over half of the family business since the first year of junior high school, generating hundreds of billions in profits for the family every year, did not seem as harmless as everyone at school perceived her to be.

Her gentleness and cuteness were just a facade, and her understanding was merely a skill she used to lower people's guard and make them open up to her after she saw through their hearts.

This is her older sister, Yukiko Asuka, a woman who is like a little devil in her eyes.

Although he had prepared his answer in his mind, whether he could fool her was still an unknown.

"Are you really dating that Kitagawa Yu?" Yukiko Asuka asked curiously.
