Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Damn it, am I going to have to stay up all night again tonight? I feel like I'll die from exhaustion if I stay up another day!"

"Wait, tomorrow is Monday?"

"Okay, then it's alright!"

Monday? Isn't Monday the best time to catch up on sleep?

And schools, aren't they the most suitable environment for sleeping?

It has to be said that even though their school always prides itself on being an elite private high school, holds monthly exams, and follows many of the rules of private high schools, high school can be quite enjoyable as long as you don't plan to go to university.

Turning his head to glance at the Roland Fantom-X8 that he had just bought at great expense at Ishibashi Musical Instruments today, Kitagawa Yu pondered for only a second before decisively jumping off the bed, putting on the matching monitoring headphones, and then starting to produce music.

Unlike his composition skills, the arrangement skills he exchanged not only included his own arrangement techniques but also equivalent keyboard arrangement skills, which are essentially piano playing skills.

This is not only very practical for him right now, but it also only cost him 2 points of Wish Power, which is very cost-effective.

After familiarizing himself with the key bindings, Kitagawa Yu quickly began creating the game.

Because I already had a finished product in mind, and because I didn't want to overthink things, I devoted myself entirely to the process, so the production speed was very fast.

Aside from the two best-selling songs from the Conan world whose backing tracks didn't need to be produced, the backing tracks for the other seven songs were completed in just three hours in total, averaging less than half an hour per song, and that doesn't even include the playback and inspection time after production.

So, when Kitagawa Yu took off his monitoring headphones and looked at the clock on the wall at 2:23, he was dumbfounded once again.

"How about we go back to bed and see if we can fall asleep?"

Kitagawa Yu tried to lie back down on the bed, pulled the covers up, and silently repeated things like 'relax,' 'I'm sleepy,' and 'I want to sleep,' almost counting sheep.

Unfortunately, he sat up straight again after only three minutes and gave up struggling.

"Hmm, what should I do to keep busy?"

"See a movie?"

"It seems like there aren't any good new movies lately. All the movies, anime, manga, and novels I brought back from the Conan world have been taken by Chizuka."

"How about watching some short videos?"

Kitagawa Yu took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and skillfully opened the short video app. After swiping through just two videos, he felt like he was wasting his life.

"Why watch short videos now? If you want to watch them, wait until you're at school and watch them during breaks. This isn't a time for fragmented time!"

After casually locking his phone and tossing it aside, Kitagawa Yu got up, walked to his desk, turned on his computer, logged into the world's largest anime website, found the most popular anime of the moment, put on his headphones, and started watching.

Then, after watching one episode, he couldn't help but switch to another. He then spent half an hour switching between four different shows, and finally confirmed one thing.

That means the anime in this world is really mediocre.

The art style is indeed very exquisite, no less than that of the previous 23 years, but it is too monotonous and you can't find any unique art style characteristics like One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Demon Slayer.

As for the plot, it can't be said to be bad. It's just that even the most popular anime of the last three years, if placed in the previous era, would still be a little short of the level of the seasonal anime champion, and it can't compare to those annual anime champions.

The only advantage, which might not even be considered an advantage, is that most anime in this world don't exceed 25 episodes, which is about half a year.

This also means that there are no super long-running manga like the four major shonen anime of the past or Detective Conan; they usually end after a hundred or so chapters.

"So it seems that drawing comics and making animations in this world has a better future than singing?"

The moment this thought popped into his head, Kitagawa Yu, who had been yawning from being overwhelmed by these anime, immediately perked up again.

"No, no, copying songs is so easy, copying comics and anime requires drawing them."

Kitagawa Yu suddenly thought of Shimizu Yuna.

Although he had cured Shimizu Yuna's tone-deafness, he didn't have many songs in his head that suited Shimizu Yuna's gentle, obedient, and slightly sweet voice. He probably couldn't even come up with 15 of those well-known hit songs.

They can't compare to someone like Ayako, who could easily produce dozens of albums.

"So, should we help Yuna explore career paths as a manga artist and voice actress?"

After thinking for a moment, Kitagawa Yu took off his headphones, spent 1 point of Wish Power to exchange for an Intermediate Manga Skill, picked up paper and pen from the side, and began to draw character illustrations and storyboards.

When you like someone, you want them to become better. Moreover, his feelings for Shimizu Yuna were mixed with pity and sympathy. Naturally, he hoped that Shimizu Yuna could completely get rid of her past suffering and reclaim the dazzling light that should belong to her.

Therefore, he immediately chose Demon Slayer, a work with a unique art style that stood out even in the diverse era that followed.

In terms of manga, Demon Slayer is the only work since One Piece began serialization to have taken the top spot in annual sales for two consecutive years, and it set an astonishing record of 8234 million copies sold in a single year, which is more than the combined sales of the next 2nd to 10th best-selling works that year.

It is also the work that made it into the top ten of the all-time best-selling list in Japan with the shortest production time and the shortest length.

Even without the Chinese market, a theatrical film still managed to gross nearly $500 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year.

If this work were set in China, it might not be well-received, as many people might not understand its emotional and emotional moments. However, this wouldn't be the case in Japan.

After all, this anime broke countless records in Japan.

Moreover, this work ended a long time ago.

This way, there's one less thing to worry about when copying, and you don't have to worry about ending up with a bad ending when you fill in the plot yourself.

"Swish, swish, swish -"

As the advanced comic techniques he had just acquired were fully integrated into his body, he drew faster and faster, and even felt a sense of addiction. By the time the sky outside the window brightened, he had already completed the first five chapters in one go.

Although it's just a storyboard, this speed is still quite astonishing.

It must be said that advanced comic drawing techniques, though inexpensive, are indeed very useful.

Moreover, through these exchanges, he roughly summarized some patterns. For example, the amount of effort required to exchange for skills and experience is often proportional to the time it takes to learn and master the corresponding skills.

Compared to music composition and karate skills, comic book drawing is indeed easier to learn.

Many junior high and high school students, without having taken any professional courses, can develop a decent level of manga drawing skills in a short period of time simply by self-studying, such as Shimizu Yuna.

After glancing at the time, Kitagawa Yu quickly packed the character designs and storyboards he had just drawn, along with a USB drive containing the accompaniment music and sheet music, into his backpack. Then, with a cheerful mood, he tiptoed over and pushed open the door to Anya's room next door.

As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years.

Anya is usually the one who comes to bother him first thing in the morning, and now it's finally his turn to get revenge.

"Hey hey hey-"

"Ania~~~"

"Time to get up—huh??? Chizuka? What are you doing here?"

The morning sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the floor of the room, bringing enough light to the room. At the same time, Kitagawa Yu, who had just walked to the bedside and was about to shout, immediately saw Chizuka, who had just opened her eyes and was looking at him with a blank expression.

Although I didn't see anything I shouldn't have because I was covered by the blanket, but...

"Ahem, I'm here to wake Anya up, really!"

"."

In response, Chizuka, now fully awake, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Kitagawa Yu. However, due to the force of the movement, she ended up seeing something she shouldn't have.

"Huh? Yu, you're making breakfast today? Where's Chizuka?"

"Well, we can't just let Chizuka make breakfast by herself. Let Chizuka sleep a little longer."

"Wow! Yu, you're so kind!"

"."

Behind the bar, listening to Ayumi's sincere praise, Kitagawa Yu could only smile awkwardly and continue working.

Well, for the next week, breakfast will be Chizuka's punishment for creating a girl's room without permission.

"We'll be going now~"

"uh-huh."

After having breakfast, Kitagawa Yu and Ayumi left the coffee shop together.

I don't know if it's because I don't have to make breakfast for the next week, or because I'm no longer alone during the day after Elena came along, but Chizuka seemed to be in a very good mood today.

Half an hour later, Kitagawa Yu and Ayumi parted ways at the classroom door, yawned, and walked into the classroom to sit down.

Perhaps it was because he had spent too much time in the world of Detective Conan, but as his gaze swept over the classroom furnishings and the students gathered in twos and threes, he suddenly had that strange feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness, like the first day of school after summer vacation.

However, just then, a figure that happened to walk into the classroom suddenly caught his eye.

"Kouji Majima? What happened to this guy? It's only been two days, how come he looks so haggard?"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback. Looking at Majima Koji, who looked haggard, as if he hadn't eaten or slept for three days, with dull eyes, sunken eye sockets, and a face that seemed to have lost a lot of weight, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Koji Majima's clothes and hairstyle were still neatly arranged, he would have thought that Kojima was a corporate slave who had worked overtime for several days in a row before leaving the company.

"Could it be because of what happened at the karate club last time?"

"That shouldn't be the case, it's been several days already."

"Could it be that he's been staying up late to study? But does he really enjoy studying that much?"

Not only him, but soon other classmates also noticed the change in Koji Majima. They all looked at him with surprise and curiosity, and for a moment even the voices that were originally chatting in the classroom became much quieter.

"Hey, Koji, what's wrong with you?"

Several classmates who were close to him stepped forward and asked with concern.

As the class monitor, regardless of his private behavior, he was generally well-liked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the tutoring class has assigned a lot of homework these past two days, so I've been doing exercises until a bit late," Kojima explained, putting down his bag and forcing a relaxed smile.

"Oh, I see!"

"You're pushing yourself way too hard! It's just homework from a tutoring class!"

"Exactly, with your grades, you should be good enough to get into the University of Tokyo. There's absolutely no need for you to work so hard."

The three of them did not suspect that Koji Majima was lying, and they all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the story.

Meanwhile, the other classmates who had been eavesdropping also showed expressions of disappointment and stopped paying attention.

They thought they were going to hear some big gossip, but it turned out to be just this?

Kitagawa Yuya turned to look out the window, waiting for the school bell to ring so he could catch up on his sleep.

However, whether it was his imagination or not, he had just looked away when he suddenly felt that Koji Majima had glanced at him, his eyes filled with resentment, which made the hairs on his arms stand on end.
