Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Let's skip the title 'teacher'."

"Is that called 'Senior Yu'?"

Kitagawa Yu shrugged, skipping the topic and remaining silent.

Why are you rehearsing here?

"Because our company doesn't have its own rehearsal room, we couldn't get our deposit back after canceling our reservation for the recording studio yesterday. So President Saito begged Director Akari to use that deposit as payment for renting the rehearsal room."

"Are you really that meticulous with your calculations?"

Kitagawa Yu was speechless after hearing this.

He already knew that Ichigo Production was a tiny idol management company, but the fact that it didn't even have a rehearsal room was still beyond his expectations.

To be honest, at this moment he even wanted to poach Hoshino Ai to Ayako's company.

If it weren't for the inadequacy of her management company, Hoshino Ai wouldn't have taken four years to barely become a second-tier idol.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea. Although he had agreed to give Ayako the title of production director in the company, it was still Ayako's company after all.

Furthermore, if Hoshino Ai joins Ayako's company, then she and Ayako will become superior and subordinate.

"By the way, Senior Yu, who is this lady?"

Hoshino Ai looked at Shimizu Yuna with curiosity, and even though she was also a girl, she couldn't help but subconsciously look at Shimizu Yuna's unscientific and amazing dimensions.

Or perhaps, it's precisely because she's also a girl that she pays more attention to these aspects.

After learning that Shimizu Yuna was also there to record songs, and that the songs to be recorded were all written and composed by Kitagawa Yu, she became even more interested.

"Can I go and listen?" Hoshino Ai looked up, her fair fingers clasped together and pressed against her chest, looking at Kitagawa Yu with anticipation.

However, Kitagawa Yu smiled and gently tapped her on the head, rejecting her offer without hesitation.

"You should rehearse first. We'll let you hear it after all three songs are recorded."

"Okay then, Yu-senpai, don't forget~"

Hoshino Ai covered her head in disappointment, made a cute face at him, and then hurriedly ran back into the classroom.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Senior, I'll go to rehearsal too."

"it is good."

After Ayako left, Kitagawa Yuya led Yuna to the recording studio at the end of the corridor.

"Can Yuu really sing well?"

The professional equipment and rooms made Yuna, who was visiting for the first time, feel a little nervous and insecure.

"of course can!"

Kitagawa Yu smiled and patted her head, saying in a gentle yet earnest tone, "This is a song I wrote especially for you, Yuna, so of course only you can sing it well!"

Upon hearing this, Yuna felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. Her previous nervousness and lack of confidence vanished instantly, and she couldn't help but move closer to Kitagawa Yu, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Kitagawa Yu immediately understood, opened his arms and hugged her slender waist, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.

It has to be said that he's becoming more and more skilled at this kind of thing.

As for what he said earlier, it wasn't all encouragement. He had already listened to the demo that Yuna recorded at home on her phone.

Although Yuna's voice is closer to Sora Amamiya's than that of Kana Hanazawa and Saori Hayami, it is still sufficient for singing the three songs "Renai Circulation", "She Sets Off on a Journey", and "I'm Sorry for Being So Cute".

In fact, while Sora Amamiya's voice may not be as sweet as Kana Hanazawa's, it is softer.

From his current professional perspective, at least, with a few minor adjustments, the effect would be no less than the original, and might even surpass it.

"Speaking of which, Yukiko-senpai's voice is quite similar to that of Nadeko Sengoku, voiced by Kana Hanazawa, and Satou Matsuzaka. If she sang Rei Circulation..."

This thought suddenly popped into Kitagawa Yu's head.

"let us start."

"Ah."

After cuddling for a good ten minutes, Kitagawa Yu finally let go of Yuna, took out the prepared lyrics, and the demo Yuna had sent him earlier, and helped her adjust them.

Yuna learned very quickly, adjusting those places according to Kitagawa Yu's requirements in just over ten minutes.

However, knowing how to sing and being able to sing well are two different things.

Yuna is not a professional singer, and it is difficult for her to control the stability of her voice. In the recording studio, even the smallest mistake is magnified, causing the entire recording to have to be started over, so the recording speed is not very fast.

Fortunately, Kitagawa Yu had anticipated this, so with his constant encouragement and praise, Yuna's mindset was not affected.

In this cheerful atmosphere with a touch of pink, we recorded until noon before we knew it.

In the listening room, Yuna sat quietly next to Kitagawa Yu, sipping her water while staring blankly at his handsome profile. Occasionally, a sweet smile would flash across her lips as if she were thinking of something.

It wasn't until Kitagawa Yu took off his thick listening headphones and placed them on the table that she was startled awake.

“This time it’s no problem, Yuna, you’ve mastered the recording technique~” Kitagawa Yu turned his chair and said to Yuna beside him with a smile.

He then glanced at the wall clock and said, "It's getting late, let's go have lunch."

"Ah."

Yuna obediently put down her cup, and like a little wife, quickly walked to the sofa next to her, took Kitagawa Yu's coat, and then thoughtfully helped him put it on.

However, before the two could leave, there was a knock on the door of the listening room from the outside.

"Huh? Ayako, Ai? What's going on here?"

"Ayako-neechan saw that you seniors hadn't come out yet and was worried that you'd be too busy to eat, so she brought you a bento box," Hoshino Ai quickly explained.

A strange look flashed across Kitagawa Yu's eyes. He hadn't expected that in just one morning, this guy and Ayako would become so close that he could call her "older sister".

However, he didn't know that it was all his doing.

Hoshino Ai's mask couldn't fool Ayako at all. Normally, she wouldn't bother with such a hypocrite.

It was only because Kitagawa Yu seemed to really like Hoshino Ai and seemed to know her quite well that she was willing to get closer to Hoshino Ai and, incidentally, learn about this new 'rival'.

“My sister brought it over. She was worried that it would be inconvenient to eat out in the rain,” Ayako added from the side.

Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Yukiko-senpai really cares about you."

Ayako gave a noncommittal reply.

Although Yukiko seems to have been a little nicer to her lately, she hasn't stopped her from playing in the band anymore.

However, her experience of being "bullied" and "manipulated" by Yukiko since childhood still made her somewhat suspicious, wondering if Yukiko had some other ulterior motives.

Moreover, Yukiko is usually very good at winning people over with small favors, and with her sweet and cute appearance, she has fooled countless people into willingly serving her like slaves.

Of course, she couldn't possibly say this in front of Yuna and Hoshino Ai.

"By the way, seniors, how's the recording of your song going?" Hoshino Ai took the initiative to change the subject.

"One song has already been recorded."

"Can we listen to it?" Hoshino Ai looked at him expectantly, making a cute pleading face.

This time, Kitagawa Yu didn't refuse. He led them back to the computer, pulled up the song "I'm So Cute, I'm Sorry" that had been fixed earlier, and the two of them couldn't help but light up after just hearing the intro.

Wow! This is so sweet! So cute!

Behind him, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

How could this not be sweet? Because he was by Yuna's side, Yuna didn't even need to prepare her emotions; she was instantly drawn in just by looking at him.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but look at Yuna beside him, who was also secretly looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but reach out and grab her small hand, gently kneading it.

Yuna's body went limp. She bit her lip and lowered her head. A faint pink tinge crept up her fair neck and up to the back of her ears, even tinging her small earlobes with a lovely pink.

As soon as the music finished playing, Ayako and Hoshino Ai turned around abruptly and looked at Kitagawa Yu.

Ayako was a little better off, since she had already received several songs from Kitagawa Yu, but Hoshino Ai was different; her eyes were frighteningly bright, and even her breathing became rapid.

Kitagawa Yu reacted quickly, quietly letting go of Yuna's small hand, and at the same time, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Hoshino Ai's excited appearance.

In fact, Hoshino Ai herself did not realize that she, who used to be uninterested in anything and felt that life was colorless, had unknowingly fallen in love with music and the stage in the past two years.

"Want me to write a song for you?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Hoshino Ai clenched her little fists and nodded repeatedly.

"Then really feel how you are right now, and tell me your true feelings about music, the stage, and being an idol~"

Hoshino Ai was stunned upon hearing this.

What are your true feelings about music, the stage, and being an idol?

As Hoshino Ai savored the lovely melody that lingered in her ears and mind even after the music ended, she suddenly seemed to understand something.

At first, she only saw becoming an idol as a job, wanting to experience what it felt like to be loved and to love others, something she had never felt before.

However, she doesn't know when it started, but her mindset had already changed.

In fact, it was precisely because she had unknowingly fallen in love with music and the stage, and with the identity of an idol that carries countless dreams, that she wanted to return to being an idol even after having a child in the anime.

"I like the feeling of being an idol, and I want to be an excellent idol, but... but can I really do it?"

“Of course you can. Being an idol also allows you to have your own life and happiness. There might be some conflict between the two, but I believe you can handle it well,” Kitagawa Yu said with utmost seriousness.

Having watched the anime, he knew Hoshino Ai's potential better than anyone else. If she hadn't mistakenly trusted Kamiki Hikaru, this perverted murderer, she would not only have become the most dazzling legendary idol, but also have a happy family.

Unfortunately, all of this was destroyed by Shinki Hikaru.

Thinking about this, Kitagawa Yu wished he could give Kamiki Hikaru an even greater, more painful curse.

Across from her, Hoshino Ai looked at Kitagawa Yu, who was handsome and gentle, yet had barged into her heart so forcefully on their first meeting yesterday, leaving an unforgettable mark, and now brought her unprecedented warmth and support. A strange light flickered in her eyes.

After a long while, she suddenly took a deep breath and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Okay! I understand! So, please write more songs for me, senior!"
