Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Did a guy confess his feelings to me?

"Aren't Japanese people supposed to be more reserved in expressing their feelings?"

"Oh right, he's a god!"

"Wow! This is the first time in my life that a boy has confessed his feelings to me! I'm so happy!"

Should I say yes to him?

"Although it might seem a bit unladylike for a girl to agree so quickly, I'm practically dying, and if I don't have a sweet romance soon, I won't have any more time!"

"But...I'm still so shy!"

"."

A whole host of thoughts flashed through Chizuka's mind in an instant, and her cheeks began to flush slightly.

On the other side, Kitagawa Yu was unaware that Chizuka had already added a whole bunch of dramatic scenarios to his mind, otherwise he would have definitely agreed with great joy.

At this moment, he was trying his best to use as much of his wish power as possible to save Chizuka.

What frustrated him was that even after expending all eight points of his wish power, he was still unable to help Chizuka regenerate a healthy heart.

"Then the only thing we can do is to repair the artificial heart inside her that is about to break down."

Kitagawa inquired with the system and found that, thankfully, repairing a machine didn't require too much Wish Power; just 4 points would suffice.

"I don't have the strength right now, so I can only help you repair your artificial heart first."

"Oh dear, oh dear, although it's a bit too much of a show of modesty, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

"."

Something seems off?

Kitagawa Yu had a big question mark on his head, while Chizuka across from him was blushing.

"Oops! I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind!"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, until Anya, who had just been fed a bellyful of PDA, let out a burp with a dead fish-like expression, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"I told you not to eat too many peanuts before bed!"

"Ania didn't eat too many peanuts, she was just stuffed from being fed dog food!"

"."

Kitagawa Yu awkwardly touched his nose, quickly skipping the topic and using his wish power to repair the artificial heart inside Chizuka's body.

Like an old car on the verge of being scrapped being given a brand new engine, Chizuka immediately noticed the changes in her body and a joyful smile appeared on her face.

With very few exceptional cases, no one should want to die young at the blossoming age of seventeen.

Moreover, Chizuka wants to continue helping even more people.

"Little sister, who are you?"

"My name is Anya. I was adopted from the orphanage by my older brother."

"Then I'll call you Anya. My name is Nishiki Chizuka, you can call me Chizuka-neechan~"

"Then, Sister Chizuka, could you buy Anya a Coke?"

"Of course—"

Chizuka readily agreed, but then immediately realized something was wrong.

Although both are Japanese yen, can she use the money from her world in this world?

Chizuka turned to look at Kitagawa Yu.

Kitagawa Yu spread his hands and shrugged: "It's not just a matter of money. Your identity is also a problem. I just used up my power to repair your artificial heart, and I don't have enough power left to arrange a suitable identity for you. So you can only stay in the shop for now."

Chizuka smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's alright, I'm already very happy that you're willing to take me in. I used to work at a coffee shop, and although my coffee-making skills aren't as good as Mika's, I'm more than capable of being a waitress~"

Kitagawa Yu was naturally aware of this, but

"It would be a waste of your talents to just be a waiter/waitress. In fact, due to poor management, the shop doesn't even have a proper barista anymore, so we might need you to take on the role of barista from now on."

"Are even gods having such a hard time these days? A god's coffee shop is doing worse than our LycoReco?"

Chizuka's eyes widened in disbelief, her face showing a look of astonishment.

Chapter 19 The God of Poverty's Misfortune?

"welcome!"

"Um... she's actually my classmate. She came to me for tutoring, not as a guest."

"Uh"

Girls who smile a lot usually have good luck.

If we follow this logic, then having Chizuka, a smart, cute, lively, and kind mascot with a bright smile on her face every day, makes one feel hopeful for a better tomorrow.

In addition, although she is only a part-time waitress and is a bit clumsy, Ayumi Takahara is still full of energy, so the coffee shop's business should improve.

But reality was not quite what he had imagined.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, but the sky outside suddenly turned gloomy, looking like it was about to rain, which made Kitagawa Yu sigh involuntarily.

"What's going on! If it rains, won't we have no customers again?"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of worry.

Now there's another person in the family!

Although Chizuka uses his T-shirts instead of pajamas, her toiletries are inexpensive and can be used for a long time after one purchase, and she doesn't need cosmetics at all, she even wears the shrine maiden outfit that is the store's employee uniform.

But even just the cost of food made his wallet shrink much faster.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The bell behind the door rang again.

"welcome--"

"This one too~"

"."

As expected, it was Ayako Asuka who came in this time.

Otherwise, who would come here for coffee so early on a weekend morning?

Check it out!

"This is Chizuka, the new barista at the shop."

"This is Ayako Asuka, my junior, but she's a top student at our school. She's here to help tutor Ayumi."

“Perfect, Ayumi will be in your care for now, Ayako.”

"Eh? What about you, senior?" Ayako Asuka, who was just about to greet Chitsuka, asked curiously upon hearing this.

"I realized I haven't cleaned the shrine for several days, so I'm going to go clean it and see if I can... um... Anya, stop reading manga! Come and clean with me~"

Although Anya wanted to pretend she hadn't heard, in order to help the coffee shop turn a profit and have money to buy more snacks and cola, after some hesitation, she reluctantly put down the nearly empty peanuts and comics in her hand, jumped off the sofa, and ran over on her short legs.

"Then do you want my help?"

"No need, we haven't gone over Ayumi's mistakes from yesterday's test, and Chizuka definitely can't do without the barista, so it'll have to be Anya and me."

Perhaps because it is already autumn, although the temperature still occasionally exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, there are already many fallen leaves in the shrine's courtyard.

"Onii-chan, why do we have to sweep now? If it rains, won't a lot of leaves fall?" Anya asked him with a puzzled look as she gripped a broom that was much taller than her.

"I just happened to think of it, so I came to clean up. That's what you call a stroke of genius, you know?"

"don't know!"

"Anyway, you've been reading comics and eating snacks all day lately, and you're not getting enough exercise. Take this opportunity to get some exercise!"

"."

Anya gave him a disgruntled look.

Isn't going to school a form of exercise? School is so tiring, you know!

"By the way, Onii-chan, do you think our house might be haunted by a god of poverty, which is why we're so poor?" Anya suddenly asked mysteriously in a low voice.

"The God of Poverty?"

Kitagawa Yu was originally thinking that after cleaning up, he would hurry to the supermarket before it rained to replenish the ingredients needed for next week. If the store's business did not improve, he would use some of his wish power to exchange for one million yen to alleviate the economic crisis. He was stunned when he heard this.

Where did you hear that from?

Anya shook her head and said, "I didn't hear it, I saw it in a comic book. The comic book says that whoever is the god of poverty will become unlucky and poor."

"Uh, a comic?"

Kitagawa Yu's lips twitched slightly.

He thought Anya had heard some incredible thoughts using mind-reading abilities, but it turns out she just saw it in a comic book.

If this were in his original world, he would definitely scoff at it.

But now even time travel has appeared, and he himself has become a god, so it's not surprising that there are gods of poverty and such, right?

However, it's unclear whether the current poor business situation is caused by the God of Poverty. Although he has a system, he doesn't have any superpowers. Even if there really is a God of Poverty in his house, he can't see him.

We can't exactly use the power of wishes to conduct the exploration, can we? That would be too extravagant!

"Speaking of which, the fact that the predecessor suddenly turned its ancestral land into a coffee shop seems like a crazy move, as if it was designed by someone."

"But no one has come forward to say they want to buy this land, so I guess I'm just overthinking it?"

"Maybe it's the influence of the God of Poverty!" Anya leaned closer and deliberately gave him a sinister look, clearly eavesdropping on his thoughts again.

"What do you mean by 'God of Poverty'? Get back to cleaning!"

Kitagawa Yu pretended to be fierce and gently tapped her on the head, then started sweeping with a broom.

However, perhaps because the weather was getting increasingly gloomy, he felt that the whole shrine seemed to have changed a little.

"There can't actually be a god of poverty, and it's not like it would actually come to my shrine. That would be incredibly immoral."
