Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"what!"

"what are you doing!"

Also captivated by the stunning deep-sea scenery around her, the unsuspecting Shimizu Yuna was startled and instinctively cried out. At the same time, she quickly pulled her hand out and hid it behind her back, putting distance between herself and Kuroda Tatsuya with a wary expression.

It is clear that Tatsuya Kuroda's actions just now crossed the line.

She had clearly stated in her profile on the rental app that she refused intimate gestures such as holding hands.

However, she had encountered this situation many times during her previous loan spells.

Furthermore, given the romantic setting, Kuroda Tatsuya appeared flustered and bewildered, even with a pleading look in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, she softened and her expression relaxed.

"What's wrong with you guys? What happened?" Kuroda Tatsuya's childhood friends, who were walking ahead, turned around when they heard the commotion and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, this guy just wasn't watching where he was going and stepped on my foot," Shimizu Yuna turned around and explained to them with a smile.

At the same time, to prevent them from noticing anything amiss, she, being very professional, took the initiative to link arms with Kuroda Tatsuya, making a very intimate gesture.

"Oh, I see~"

"I thought Tatsuya took the opportunity to make a move on you."

"Hehe, the environment here is really suitable for doing—"

"Shut up! Idiot! Yuna is still a high school student, okay?! Stop having such filthy thoughts!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong, I apologize."

"."

Kuroda Tatsuya's expression at this moment was truly remarkable.

At first, I was extremely nervous and scared, and at the same time, I was filled with regret. Then, when I found that Shimizu Yuna didn't hold it against me, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

However, when his childhood friends turned around and teased him, he felt nervous, embarrassed, and guilty, fearing that his affair with renting a girlfriend would be exposed.

Only when Shimizu Yuna cleverly resolved the matter and the group continued chatting and laughing as they walked forward did he finally feel completely at ease. At the same time, for some reason, the word 'touching hands' that his childhood friend had just mentioned suddenly popped into his head, and his heart suddenly started racing.

However, the light in the passage was dim, and he had his head down, so even Shimizu Yuna beside him did not notice his expression at this moment, let alone know that he was feeling a flutter in his heart.

"She didn't blame me, and even took my arm again. Could it be... could it be that she also has feelings for me?"

"That's right! Come to think of it, I was a top student at Tokyo University, and I was considered one of the top students in high school!"

"Besides, my family owns a company. Although it's not a very big company, we're still doing pretty well, right?"

"Even in my class, with my looks and abilities, I'd rank in the top five compared to the other boys!"

"For a high school girl to do this kind of work, her family must not be well-off, so it's normal for her to have feelings for me."

Kuroda Tatsuya became more and more excited as he thought about it.

She turned her head slightly to secretly glance at Shimizu Yuna's pure and beautiful face, as well as the spectacular sight on her chest that was completely inconsistent with her face and temperament.

Suddenly, as if possessed by a demon, he slightly 'moved' his arm.

Chapter 90 Just Follow Your Heart

When Shimizu Yuna, who was standing next to him, noticed his little action, she was shocked. She let go of his arm and moved aside, turning her head to look into his eyes.

Their eyes met, and Kuroda Tatsuya, facing her scrutinizing gaze, found the words "sorry" and "I didn't mean to" stuck in his throat. He was too nervous to say them and could only stammer, his eyes darting around guiltily.

Upon seeing his reaction, Shimizu Yuna instantly understood, and her originally well-behaved and gentle face immediately turned icy.

“Let’s end our loan here!” Shimizu Yuna said without any hesitation, directly proposing to terminate the deal.

"It just so happens that you originally requested an eight-hour rental period, and two and a half hours have already passed. Therefore, I will not refund your 10,000 yen deposit, and you do not need to pay the remaining fee."

"Ah, this... I..."

It wasn't until this moment that Kuroda Tatsuya realized what was happening. Perhaps wanting to explain, or perhaps wanting to persuade him to stay, he hurriedly tried to say something.

As a result, because they were in such a hurry, they forgot to lower their voices, which immediately attracted the attention of the two pairs of childhood friends walking in front of them. They turned around and looked over.

"Tatsuya? What's wrong with you now?"

"Yeah, what's with all that screaming and yelling?"

"Did you get stepped on this time?"

Kuroda Tatsuya immediately shut up. Faced with the teasing of his childhood friends, he didn't know how to respond and was sweating profusely.

If it were revealed at this point that his girlfriend was rented, and that he scared the girl away because of his sadism, he would be in real trouble!

The kind of people even Jesus couldn't save!

However, there is still one person who can save him.

Seeing the pleading look in Kuroda Tatsuya's eyes, Shimizu Yuna, who had originally planned to turn around and leave, hesitated for a moment. In the end, her heart softened, and she sighed inwardly. Then, she turned around, put her hands together apologetically, and came to his rescue, saying, "I'm so sorry, it's all because of me. My friend just messaged me saying that there's an urgent matter that needs my help, and I really couldn't refuse, so I had to leave first."

"Huh? What's going on?" one of the boys asked instinctively.

Before Shimizu Yuna could even explain, the girl next to him had already elbowed him in the ribs and called him an 'idiot'.

Then the girl turned to Shimizu Yuna with a grin and said, "Naran-chan, you should go now. If needed, Tatsuya can come with you too~"

"No need, you guys keep playing, I can manage on my own."

A moment later, Kuroda Tatsuya looked at Shimizu Yuna, who had already turned and left, and then at his childhood friends who hadn't suspected anything. He finally breathed a long sigh of relief and felt at ease, while also feeling incredibly grateful to Shimizu Yuna.

"Why don't we transfer the rest of the payment to her? After all, I was in the wrong to begin with, and she still helped me despite the past."

Kuroda Tatsuya thought for a moment, took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and took advantage of the fact that his childhood friends had already turned away to open the app and prepare to pay the remaining 20,000 yen to Shimizu Yuna.

But just then, one of his childhood friends suddenly turned around and teased him with a wink, "Do you think Lan-chan's friend is a boy or a girl? Could it be that handsome guy we met at the bubble tea shop earlier?"

"???"

Kuroda Tatsuya froze instantly.

Thinking of Kitagawa Yuna's looks and temperament, which made him feel inferior and unable to compare himself to her, and then recalling the scene of Shimizu Yuna chasing after him, a shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes.

"Idiot! If you can't speak properly, shut up!"

"Tatsuya, ignore this guy. Arashi-chan doesn't look like that kind of girl."

"That's right, that's right, Lan-chan is so gentle and well-behaved."

"Ah huh."

Kuroda Tatsuya gave a stammering reply, but he couldn't help but imagine Shimizu Yuna going to Kitagawa Yu and the two of them being all lovey-dovey in this romantic aquarium, which made him increasingly unhappy.

"That's right! Why should I thank her? She was clearly in the wrong first!"

"I just accidentally bumped into her with my arm, what's the big deal?"

"But she actually went looking for other guys right in front of me, her boyfriend, during the loan period. That's just too much!"

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Kuroda Tatsuya immediately abandoned the idea of ​​paying the remaining reward to Shimizu Yuna, and even gave her a bad review. Only after venting his anger did he lock the screen and put the phone back in his pocket.

Meanwhile, Shimizu Yuna, who had just stepped out of the underwater tunnel, also heard the message notification. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and then calmly put it back in her pocket.

She was already used to this situation.

When she first started this job, she might have felt angry, aggrieved, or even secretly cried, but now she has learned to ignore it.

Ultimately, her relationship with Kuroda Tatsuya was merely one of employment, and Kuroda Tatsuya was not someone she cared about.

So whether Kuroda Tatsuya is grateful to her or gives her a bad review, she won't care. She only helped Kuroda Tatsuya out of sympathy and professional ethics, and didn't expect anything in return.

The only thing she regretted was that she had already paid for the tickets, but couldn't spend more time in the aquarium, which was such a waste.

Keep in mind that single-entry tickets here are quite expensive unless you have an annual pass or a family ticket.

"By the way, Kitagawa-kun should be here too, right?"

Shimizu Yuna suddenly thought of Kitagawa Yu. It was still daytime, and not many people would go to the observation deck of the Tokyo Skytree at this time, so the only place to visit was the aquarium.

Just then, a chorus of exclamations came from not far away.

Yuna Shimizu subconsciously turned her head and saw three dolphins leaping high out of the water at the same time. Not only were their movements perfectly synchronized, but they also accurately headed the colorful ball that was hanging more than two meters above them.

Then, after reaching its highest point, it fell back into the pool with a splash, sending up a spray of white water.

"It's a dolphin show."

Shimizu Yuna stopped in her tracks, her clear eyes sparkling with excitement.

"This seems interesting!"

Chapter 91 What's with all this malice?

"Um"

"The employer and his friend seemed to have gone in another direction. They probably won't be coming this way anytime soon, right?"

Shimizu Yuna bit her lip, watching the dolphin performance in front of her, which followed the trainer's instructions and performed various difficult moves, eliciting gasps of amazement. The more she watched, the more reluctant she became to leave.

Although she had taken on many rental jobs and dated many men in the past year, those dates were mostly for the men to save face and were primarily for them.

The place I went to wasn't a restaurant or a coffee shop, but something similar; I'd never been to an aquarium before.

After all, most guys aren't really interested in aquariums themselves; they just go there to find a romantic setting for a date with the girl they like.

Her dates were just for work.

As for other times, she has even less time to come.

Work and tutoring have taken up almost all of her free time.

"Okay, I'll just watch for a bit. I'll leave right after the dolphin show; I shouldn't run into them again."

As a girl, Shimizu Yuna ultimately couldn't resist the allure of the dolphin show and quickly walked towards the audience seats.

But she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped again, looking at a certain spot in the audience. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright eyes revealed a deep look of surprise. Her pink lips parted slightly, and she subconsciously gasped softly.
