Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"My mother asked me what happened."

“I said I’m just grown up and want to learn how to do makeup. I also said that other classmates have already started wearing makeup, so I want to wear makeup too.”

"But my mother saw right away that I was lying, because she knew I would never spend money like that."

"Under her persistent questioning, I finally told the truth. At that point, I was already prepared to be slapped again."

"But to my surprise, my mother just looked at me with a complicated expression and then sighed deeply."

"I still remember it clearly. That sigh was like a heavy hammer that hit me, and it hurt me much more than the slap I received earlier."

"That's when I really realized what I had done."

“My mother worked herself to the bone so that I could have an ordinary life. She sacrificed so much for me, but I almost destroyed her and this family with my own hands.”

"My willfulness was more destructive than the heavy debt weighing on my head."

"But I really wanted to lighten her burden a little, so I talked to her very seriously for a long time. That was the first time in my life that I had communicated with her so calmly."

"Finally, my mother, who understood my feelings, compromised and allowed me to do this kind of job as a rented girlfriend, but she required me to have a bottom line."

"In addition, she also required me to never let my grades fall behind. Even if I didn't plan to go to university in the future, I had to do what a normal high school student should do during high school."

"There are also club activities to participate in, etc."

"I also know how she feels, so this time I sincerely and seriously agreed."

"And then there's Kitagawa-kun, you know."

"Although I have to work and squeeze in time to study, and if my grades slip, I have to go to tutoring classes, it's really tiring. But when I think about how I can help my mom lighten her burden, even if it's just a little bit, I feel very satisfied."

At this point, Shimizu Yuna couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Yu with gratitude once again.

"So thank you for saving me."

"If that kind of thing really happened, I really don't know how I would face my mother."

Kitagawa let out a long breath and shook his head, feeling as if he was being suffocated by an invisible weight.

"I think most people wouldn't stand idly by in that situation, especially since we're classmates—"

"Just classmates?" Shimizu Yuna's long eyelashes trembled, and her eyes dimmed.

This scene, witnessed by Kitagawa Yu, caused his heart to ache as if stabbed by something.

"—With friends."

"Friend?" Shimizu Yuna's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up into his eyes.

“Isn’t that right?” Kitagawa Yu asked with a smile.

That smile seemed to have a magical power, making Shimizu Yuna unable to help but smile along with it.

Their eyes met, and a strong impulse suddenly surged in Shimizu Yuna's heart. Then, to Kitagawa Yu's astonishment, she hugged his neck and kissed him on the lips.

The warm, sweet scent on his face, combined with the amazing sensation from her lips, instantly shattered his defenses, causing him to instinctively embrace Shimizu Yuna and respond passionately.

The two were jolted awake from their dreamlike state when the bus announcement came that it had arrived at its stop. They jumped back, their faces flushed, and hurriedly got off the bus.

"that--"

"This is just to repay you! Yes! This is just to repay you for saving me, Kitagawa-kun! Please don't overthink it, Kitagawa-kun!"

Just as Kitagawa Yu was thinking about what to say, Shimizu Yuna spoke first in a casual and lighthearted tone, laughing and saying, as if she didn't care at all about the kiss that had just happened.

She's not the kind of naive, clueless girl.

Perhaps it was those two unexpected encounters that left a deep impression on her. In particular, the time when Kitagawa Yu helped her scare away the blond-haired guy and clean her wounds planted a seed of affection in her heart.

This seed might have grown towards a friend, and it would only have grown towards a friend.

But when Kitagawa Yu once again appeared like a god and saved her, when Kitagawa Yu gently stroked her back to comfort her, she knew that the seed in her heart, nourished by a tenderness and sense of security she had never felt before, was growing wildly and uncontrollably in another direction.

However, she wouldn't try to ruin the relationship between Kitagawa Yu and Ayako.

This is not a matter of morality or immorality.

If it could bring Kitagawa Yu greater happiness, she would bravely stand up for him, even if it was Asuka Ayako, and would never back down.

But she knew she couldn't. Her family was burdened with heavy debts, and she didn't know how long it would take to pay them off. How could she possibly give Kitagawa Yuhaku happiness?

She didn't want Kitagawa Yu to be in a difficult position or get hurt.

She fell in love with Kitagawa Yu, very, very much, and was even willing to give her body and even her soul to Kitagawa Yu without hesitation.

But she didn't expect to develop a romantic relationship with Kitagawa Yu. She just wanted to stay connected with Kitagawa Yu like she was now, and hoped that she would always have a place by Kitagawa Yu's side.

Even if it's just the position of friends.

That's enough.

But can emotions really be controlled so easily?

"Um... Kitagawa-kun, aren't you dating Asuka-senpai?"

"How far have things progressed for you two?"

"I heard you two eat lunch together every day and walk home together after school, so you must have...you must have kissed already, right?"

Shimizu Yuna's voice made Kitagawa Yu pause in his tracks.

"Kissing Ayako?!"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback.

To be honest, he had never imagined that something like this would happen between him and Ayako before.

Even though he knew he did like Ayako Asuka, his so-called interactions with her seemed to have nothing to do with liking her.

"Ayako probably only sent me lunchboxes out of gratitude and to repay me, right?"

"Then everyone would misunderstand and think she was dating me. Given her personality, even if it wasn't true, she wouldn't bother to explain or even pay attention to those rumors, right?"

"So, does this count as dating Ayako? If not, then what is our relationship?"

Shimizu Yuna had been secretly watching him, so she immediately noticed the strange look in his eyes and the bitter smile that inadvertently appeared on his lips.

"What's wrong? Kitagawa-kun hasn't kissed Ayako-san yet, has he?" Shimizu Yuna couldn't help but ask, her heart filled with concern and curiosity, but also with a sudden surge of strong anticipation.

"Um, if I said that Ayako and I have never held hands, would you believe me?"

Shimizu Yuna gasped in surprise, stopped in her tracks, and stared at Kitagawa Yu in disbelief. Then, her heart suddenly began to race, and a surge of intense joy and excitement made her heart feel like it was about to burst!

"W-Was that Kitagawa-kun's first kiss?"

"..." Kitagawa Yu felt inexplicably ashamed, his eyes darting around, and he couldn't help but want to escape from here.

"Please, I'm only a junior in high school, is it so strange that I still have my first kiss?!" Kitagawa Yu retorted stubbornly.

However, Shimizu Yuna, who had received confirmation, simply shook her head vigorously, her smile almost impossible to hide.

"So I just got Kitagawa-kun's first kiss?" Thinking of this, Shimizu Yuna's smile became even brighter.

Kitagawa Yu, however, was unaware of her thoughts and thought she was making fun of him.

The feeling is like being asked by a childhood friend you haven't seen in a long time after graduating from university if you're still a virgin. If you answer yes, that's probably the kind of reaction they'll have.

"Ahem! Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go. By the way, have you ever thought about doing other jobs? Like being an idol or something? You're so pretty, and your voice is so nice, you'd be perfect for being an idol, right?"

Kitagawa Yu quickly changed the subject.

The compliment made Shimizu Yuna blush, and her eyes curved into two cute crescent moons as she playfully stuck out her tongue at him.

"No way, I applied to an idol agency. A proper one, but the moment I opened my mouth to sing, I stunned the interviewers. According to my mom, someone as tone-deaf as me can't even be a hostess, let alone an idol. She told me to give up on that idea and focus on my studies."

Kitagawa Yu looked at her in surprise, not expecting that Shimizu Yuna was also tone-deaf like him.

As expected, even if God opens several doors for you, He will also close a window. A truly perfect and beautiful girl.

Kitagawa Yu was about to say no, but then the images of the sisters Ayako and Yukiko suddenly popped into her head, and she couldn't say anything more.

God is indeed unfair!

"Then you can make a wish to the gods and pray that they can cure your tone-deafness!"

"Is that alright?"

Kitagawa Yu was just joking.

To his surprise, Shimizu Yuna actually stopped, put her hands together, and began to pray earnestly.

What he didn't expect was that just as Shimizu Yuna closed her eyes and prayed earnestly, a system message notification rang in his mind.

"What the heck?! What's going on?! Didn't she just contribute 20 points of wish power to me? How could she trigger the system again?!"

Kitagawa Yu quickly summoned the system panel, glanced at it, and then his expression was extremely interesting!

The prayer he had just received actually came from Shimizu Yuna in front of him, and it also expressed her wish that the gods could help her cure her tone-deafness.

This really shocked him!

"Okay, let's go."

It wasn't until Shimizu Yuna reopened her eyes and spoke softly that Kitagawa Yuu finally snapped out of his shock. He then walked along, pondering a very important question:

"Can my healing magic cure tone-deafness? It seems not, right? Should I upgrade my healing magic so that it can cure tone-deafness, or even being too short, too fat, or too ugly, or should I directly use the power of my wishes to help Shimizu Yuna change her tone-deafness?"

"What about other jobs?" Kitagawa Yu asked casually as he pondered.

"Other work?" Shimizu Yuna tilted her head and looked at him.

“Well, for example, drawing comics or writing novels,” Kitagawa Yu said.

Unlike the neon-lit world of my previous life, in this world even new comic book artists, novelists, and voice actors can earn a decent income.

He had made a comparison before, and at least it wouldn't be like his previous life, where he earned less than by working.

Moreover, perhaps due to the existence of the mystical side, although the technological level of this world is similar to that of his previous life, it has not developed towards AI artificial intelligence like his previous life and the world of Lycoris.

Even 99% of comic artists don't use graphics tablets and insist on drawing by hand.
