Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

When Kaoru and Yu Kitagawa played "Boat Charge" together on stage, Kousei Arima was the most frightened.

Although Xiao Xun used to like playing music without following the sheet music, at least she was playing classical music. What is this now?

Such a dynamic metronome, such a silly melody.

But looking at Xiao Xun jumping around on the stage, and the genuinely happy and sweet smile on her face...

Arima Kousei felt as if the gloom in his heart had melted away like snow meeting the sun, and he unconsciously started nodding and swaying his head to the rhythm along with Sawabe Tsubaki and Watari Ryota beside him, as well as all the audience members.

"No wonder it's called 'Bullish Charge'! This is so damn brainwashing!"

On stage, Kitagawa Yu was playing the arrangement keyboard in front of him while looking at the audience opposite him. He almost couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight of hundreds of audience members shaking their heads in unison!

Chapter 247 Embrace and Relief

On the other side, Kaoru was increasingly happy to see that everyone liked her and Kitagawa Yu's performance.

As the last vibrato faded, the performance ended, and disregarding the stares of the crowd, glistening beads of sweat glistened on her forehead as she excitedly pounced on Kitagawa Yu.

After such a long time, she can finally stand on the stage again and play the music she loves to her heart's content.

Moreover, unlike her previous performances where she was so weak and seemed on the verge of fainting, she now performs with such ease.

This allowed her to better immerse herself in the performance.

"Thank you, Master!"

Xiao Xun took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss him.

The entire auditorium erupted in an uproar.

Backstage, Xiao Ai, who had been clenching her fists and placing them in front of her chest in a gesture of encouragement to cheer on the two, suddenly froze with a smile, and then her fair cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish.

"Damn it! How dare Xiao Xun be so bold! She has no sportsmanship at all!"

Xiao Ai couldn't help but mutter to herself.

At that moment, as if Anya had possessed her, Kaoru looked past Kitagawa Yuu and at Ai. When their eyes met, she couldn't help but wink playfully.

This made Xiao Ai grit her teeth again.

At the same time, the initially astonished audience in the stands also came to their senses and gave the two on stage a warm round of applause.

"That's great."

As Xiaochun watched the two people kissing on stage, she couldn't help but murmur softly.

However, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Arima Kousei beside her with some concern.

To her surprise, Arima Kousei's face did not show any sign of loneliness or frustration; instead, he smiled happily.

"Yes, that's wonderful! Xiao Xun is truly happy now..."

Clearly, Arima Kousei has realized that although he still likes Kaoru, that's precisely why he should be even happier for her, isn't it?

"Kouki, you—"

"Nothing much~ I'm just really happy!"

“That’s more like it,” Watari Ryota said, draping a heavy arm over Arima Kousei’s shoulder, then winking and teasing, “Besides, you have Tsubaki and me, don’t you~”

"Ok!"

Arima Kousei turned to look at Sawabe Tsubaki, and the moment their eyes met, a sudden flutter ran through his heart.

Meanwhile, on stage, as Kitagawa Yu and Kaoru bowed and left the stage hand in hand, a new performance soon began.

However, with such outstanding performances preceding them, the subsequent shows paled in comparison.

Sumiya Junior High School isn't exactly a prestigious school, but it's a bit better in sports. It has a girls' baseball team led by Tsubaki Sawabe and a soccer team led by Ryota Watari, and their results are considered quite good within the prefecture.

However, it's not so good in other aspects.

As for the hidden piano prodigy, Kousei Arima, he was busy preparing for a competition and did not register for the performance. Therefore, there were no eye-catching performances for the next hour or so.

Until Xiao Ai appears!

"Ai-chan—!"

Suddenly, a large section of seats on the right side of the audience, about a quarter of the way up, were filled with cheering fans. They all picked up their light sticks and light boards in unison, and wore headbands with Xiao Ai's name on them, cheering for Xiao Ai in unison.

The bespectacled young man who seemed to be a doctor, who was leading the group, started performing otaku-style comedy. Not only the other audience members, but even Xiao Ai on stage was startled.

Kitagawa Yu looked at the 'doctor' with a strange expression on his face.

"Goro Amamiya? What's he doing here? Has he become a die-hard fan of Ai ahead of time?"

After the initial shock, Xiao Ai suddenly remembered something, and an excited expression appeared on her face. Even the starlight in her pupils became brighter.

"What if I kissed my senior in front of so many fans?"

"Everyone—"

"Are you ready?"

"It's about to begin!"

"This is for you idols~!"

This time, not only the fans who had heard the news from somewhere and rushed over, but also other audience members joined in with a deafening roar of screams and shouts.

There's nothing we can do about it; this song is just too popular.

Although the growth rate of paid downloads has slowed down in the past two days, it has still reached an astonishing 80, and is heading towards the million.

What is this concept?

In the past, it would take several months or even half a year for a top song of the year to reach this number of downloads!

This song is incredibly popular, especially among young people.

However, Kitagawa Yu looked at Ai singing and dancing in front of him, and then at the arrangement keyboard in front of him.

"Why does this give me a strange sense of déjà vu with YOASOBI?"

"She destroys the media with her invincible smile, hides secrets that others only perceive as mysterious, and even her clumsy behavior is perfectly within her domain. You, the perfect and deceptive idol, are a genius."

Without a band or backup dancers, the performance couldn't compare to a professional concert. However, when the song ended, the roof of the auditorium was almost blown off by the applause and screams from the audience.

Amidst applause and screams, Xiao Ai turned around, her gaze fixed intently on Kitagawa Yu. With her hands clasped behind her back, she walked towards Kitagawa Yu step by step.

This made Kitagawa Yu tense up, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

"Could it be that Xiao Ai is trying to imitate Xiao Xun?!"

If that were really the case, he felt he would definitely be rushed onto the stage and killed by the enraged audience!

Thankfully, Xiao Ai simply smiled sweetly and gave him a high five.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but also left him with a strange sense of regret.

However, just as the two were leaving the stage and arriving at the back passage, Xiao Ai suddenly grabbed him, then took the initiative to hug his neck and kiss him.

If she could, Ai would certainly like to tell everyone openly and honestly that she likes Kitagawa Yu, just like Kaoru.

She also wants to stay in a place where she can feel happiness.

Even if her popularity plummets after announcing her relationship, she doesn't care. As long as she can stay by Kitagawa Yu's side, she's already very content.

However, she knew that doing so would cause trouble for Kitagawa Yu, so she had to change her mind and endure it.

"However, I won't tolerate this in other areas!"

Little Ai thought to herself, slightly opened her eyes, and glanced defiantly at the sulking Xiao Xun beside her. Then she immersed herself once again in a passionate kiss with Kitagawa Yu, lasting three times as long as Xiao Xun's.

What frustrated Xiao Xun even more was that Xiao Ai could stay at the coffee shop indefinitely, while she had to go home after having dinner with her.

Meanwhile, after asking Ai and Medusa to look after Anya and the others who were playing games, Kitagawa Yu took Elena, Artoria, and Murasame back to their room and told them about being ambushed by Amatera earlier that day.

"Amaterasu!"

Murasame was immediately enraged upon hearing this, his eerie red eyes flashing with a chilling light, and wisps of scarlet mist emanating from his body.

Artoria and Irene were not to be outdone, both with furrowed brows and cold glints in their eyes.

“Let’s go and take down Amaterasu now!” Elena suggested.

“That’s what I was thinking too,” Kitagawa Yu said. “But can a magical barrier really prevent Amaterasu from leaving through the teleportation system of various shrines?”

Kitagawa Yu looked at Murasame.

After pondering for a moment, Murasame gently shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. This kind of teleportation is based on faith. If the faith is weak, it's fine, but with the vast faith that Amaterasu possesses, ordinary magic barriers simply cannot block her teleportation, unless it is a barrier at the level of a small world or a plane."

"."

A small-world or dimensional barrier?

This was clearly beyond Elena's capabilities.

“How about we use the same trick we did with that Susanoo last time?” Elena suggested.

“No, Amaterasu isn’t stupid. Susanoo was killed by us not long ago. She couldn’t have been unprepared. In that situation, she could have easily sent her other gods to help her.”

"Therefore, the best way is to go to the Great Shrine and kill Amaterasu instantly because she can't react to the speed she needs."

Kitagawa Yu actually shared the same thought as Murasame, except: "Isn't the Great Shrine's protective barrier very strong?"

Murasame nodded and said, "That's right. I don't know if it's because our alliance with Inari made Amaterasu wary, but she seems to have strengthened the protective barrier of the Great Shrine recently. Now even I have to use my full strength to break the barrier."

"Hiss, is Amaterasu that alert?"

“If Artoria were to unleash Excalibur at full power, she should be able to break through the barrier and kill Amaterasu inside at the same time, right?” Elena said.

She kept hearing Kitagawa Yu secretly call it "Curry Stick," and she almost started calling it "Curry Stick" too.

Artoria glared at Kitagawa Yu with a wry smile, then said helplessly, "If I were to unleash my full power with my Noble Phantasm, I could indeed do that, but my Noble Phantasm is an anti-city Noble Phantasm. If I were to unleash it at full power, I'm afraid I would raze most of Tokyo to the ground."

What Artoria said was exactly what Kitagawa Yu was worried about.

After all, as a Type-Moon fan, he knows her Noble Phantasms better than Artoria herself.

He did want to kill Amaterasu, that's true, but to make it affect most of Tokyo is just too much.

At most, destroying the entire Grand Shrine would be about right.

So now there are only two options: either wait until Amaterasu goes out and is no longer protected by the Great Shrine's barrier, or increase his own or Murasame's strength to the point where he can kill the barrier and the person at the same time.
