Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Huh? Is this okay?"

Yuzuru took the initiative to ask about her sister's concerns.

Because of her hearing problems, Shoko can't hear things like car horns, which makes it very inconvenient for her to get around. Even their mother doesn't usually take Shoko to the supermarket or shopping with her, so she's worried that this will cause trouble for Kitagawa Yu.

"I told you, don't worry about causing me any trouble," Kitagawa Yu smiled and patted her head gently, saying softly, "I should be thanking you for coming to play with Anya~"

"Yu (senior) is so gentle." The three people standing next to Chizuka couldn't help but think to themselves.

“Then I’ll stay and watch the shop!” Ayumi Takahara said.

Then, she turned to look at Chizuka, whom she had only known for a morning but who she felt an extraordinary connection with and who had already become good friends with her.

"Chizuka-chan, you need to buy something too, right?"

Chizuka tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I think I'll stay in the shop. After all, I'm the only barista. What will we do when customers come in if I'm not here? So, Ayumi, why don't you go with Yu?"

Just kidding, she wants to go shopping too!

But she's still an unregistered resident, and the story that her parents have passed away and that she came to the city from the countryside of Akita to work is just something she made up.

Wouldn't this give us away if we went out?

On the other hand, Ayako Asuka also had to attend the previously arranged band rehearsal, and now she had to rush to Shimokitazawa.

Five minutes later, at the bus stop diagonally across the street, Ayako Asuka smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.

"Goodbye, Ayako-neechan." Shoko picked up her pen and quickly wrote in her notebook.

"Okay, goodbye Shoko. My sister will be coming again tomorrow morning, so see you tomorrow~"

Shoko nodded vigorously, a happy smile spreading across her face, having made so many new friends.

"La la la la~"

"Out the door~~ Out the door~~"

"Wow, so cool!"

On the way to the supermarket, Anya hummed a song as she and Nishimiya Yuzuru walked hand in hand, skipping and hopping ahead of each other.

Behind them, Kitagawa Yuya was also holding Shoko's hand, and with Takahara Ayumi beside them, although their ages didn't quite match, they looked like a family of five going out together, judging from their height.

"To celebrate a great start to the operation to save Glass, let's splurge a little today!"

The previously gloomy sky cleared up again in the afternoon, and as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, the outdoor temperature rose back to around 30 degrees Celsius.

So after leaving the supermarket, at his suggestion, the five of them went to the dessert shop next door.

"Thank you, brother! I'm so happy to go grocery shopping and eat desserts with you, my sister, and Anya!"

Looking at the dessert in front of her, which exuded a cool aura and looked incredibly delicious, Shoko picked up her notebook and quickly wrote something.

Even though Ayumi Takahara paid for her share, this expense still cost Yu Kitagawa another whole Fukuzawa Yukichi bill in his wallet.

However, seeing Shoko's genuinely happy smile, he didn't feel too much heartache.

It's worth mentioning that Ayumi's arrival was indeed a great help to him.

Now they need more than twice as much food and snacks a week as last week. If he were still carrying Anya alone, he definitely wouldn't be able to carry these five fully loaded shopping bags.

However, seeing how easily Ayumi Takahara carried two shopping bags with one hand, he felt quite ashamed.

"This guy is incredibly strong!"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but mutter a sarcastic remark to himself.

Just then, Anya, who was standing next to her, was also drooling. She had finally received her dessert, and the moment she put the spoon in her mouth, her eyes lit up with excitement. If she wasn't afraid of knocking the cup over, she would have jumped off her chair.

"Wow~~~~ It's so delicious!"

This was the first time Anya had ever eaten dessert in her life, so it's not surprising that she was excited. However, Anya's craving for dessert actually triggered a system notification, which was something Kitagawa Yu had never expected.

"Onii-chan! Let's get one of those machines at home and make our own desserts!" Anya pointed expectantly at the ice cream machine behind the counter.

However, Kitagawa Yu refused without hesitation.

"Damn, making desserts isn't just about having a machine; you also need to buy a lot of raw materials. It's much more troublesome than making coffee."

"Can we come here every day for dessert?"

"hehe."

Kitagawa Yu simply smiled and said nothing.

The cheapest dessert in this shop costs over 1,000 yen, and the most expensive is almost 3,000 yen. You want to come here every day? Are you kidding me!

Anya could read minds, so she naturally heard his thoughts, and her little face immediately fell.

"Then can I come once a week? Just once!"

Anya looked at Kitagawa Yu pitifully, as if she was about to cry if Kitagawa Yu didn't agree.

But before Kitagawa Yu could even speak, a system notification suddenly rang in his head.

"Could this be the legendary reward for good deeds?"

"I can fulfill my wish by simply promising Anya that I'll take her out for dessert once a week. That should be the simplest wish I could make, right?"

A strange look flashed in Kitagawa Yu's eyes, and then he decisively agreed.

Just kidding, why wouldn't you want this free wish-granting power?

Being a god these days isn't easy at all!

[Wish Fulfilled]

[Wish Power +3]

"Tsk tsk, it actually increased my wish power by 3 points in one go. What if we banned Anya's peanuts?"

Anya, who had been waving her spoon and cheering excitedly, suddenly froze and turned to look at Kitagawa Yu with a look of horror.

To force her to make a wish, he actually banned her favorite peanuts? This onii-chan is such a jerk!

Chapter 22 should be learned... I've learned it.

Chapter 22 should be learned.

As it turns out, the saying "good times are always short-lived" is absolutely true.

The saying "Even the strangest and most shocking things become commonplace after a while" can also be considered a truth.

On the way back from the supermarket after having dessert that day, Kitagawa Yu bought Shoko and the others a set of Lego bricks so that they wouldn't have nothing to play with.

Add to that the comics in the comics section, and Shoko and Yuzuru immediately fell in love with the place.

Meanwhile, the coffee shop became even more lively because of their arrival, and there were many more customers than usual. In two days, a total of eleven customers came, and the turnover reached seven thousand yen!

In addition, in the new week that followed.

Everyone gradually went from being shocked at the beginning to accepting the fact that he and Ayako Asuka ate lunch together and went home from school together every day.

However, there are fewer people now believing that he and Ayako Asuka are dating than at the beginning.

Because Ayumi Takahara was always there during lunch break. Besides participating in track and field club activities, the three of them would also go home together.

"This proves that Kitagawa-san is not dating Asuka-san, otherwise how could the three of them be eating together and going home together!"

Most people analyzed it with certainty.

However, some people have raised different opinions, such as: "Kitagawa is definitely dating Asuka. Otherwise, how could ordinary friends do something as ambiguous as feeding each other? Even good friends wouldn't do that! As for Takahara, he is very likely just a friend of theirs."

Most boys would firmly deny this argument after hearing it, and some might even start arguing about it.

Most girls, however, would excitedly agree after hearing it.

In short, because of Ayako Asuka and Ayumi Takahara, Yu Kitagawa, who was originally just an unknown person, suddenly became a celebrity at school.

In addition, Ayumi Takahara has been consistently scoring around 40 points in physics, chemistry, and English in the past two days of practice, and even his worst subject, math, has remained above the passing mark of 30 points. He is in a very good mood.

"At this rate of progress, Ayumi might actually catch up with or even surpass Shimizu Yuna in the next exam."

In the spacious and clean corridor, orange sunlight streamed through the windows, falling on the girl's smooth, wheat-colored skin, creating a beautiful scene.

Ayumi Takahara, who was originally looking down at the wrong questions, suddenly seemed to realize something, looked up, and revealed a dazzlingly cheerful smile.

"Yuu, you're so slow! I don't have any club activities today, let's go home together!"

"."

However, the situation for Shoko is not so good.

"It was still 30 degrees Celsius during the day, but I didn't expect the wind to be so chilly at night~"

On a moonlit night, the girl sat alone on a swing in the park, her expression one of loss and sadness, even her usually clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.

But just then, a familiar, warm smile suddenly appeared before her eyes, instantly interrupting her thoughts.

"Onii-chan?"

The girl's voice was very strange; it was even difficult to tell what she was saying without looking at her lip movements.

But it wouldn't be surprising if this girl was Nishimiya Shoko, who had a congenital hearing impairment. Because of her hearing impairment, her pronunciation was also problematic, which was one of the reasons why she was isolated and ridiculed in class.

That's right, that evening, Kitagawa Yu had just taken Takahara Ayumi home after finishing her tutoring session when he saw Nishimiya Shoko sitting alone in a small park on the way back.

Why are you sitting here all alone?

"I--"

Just as Shoko was about to explain, she suddenly heard the exaggerated laughter of Ishida Shoya and the others from earlier that day, and immediately shut her mouth again.

I wanted to grab my pen and notebook that I always carry with me to write down what I wanted to say, but then I remembered that I had run away alone and never thought I would talk to anyone else, so I hadn't brought my pen and notebook with me.

This left her somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Immediately afterwards, a sudden wave of inexplicable grievance washed over her. Although Shoko bravely refrained from bursting into tears, she couldn't help but let her eyes well up with tears.

Until a gentle embrace enveloped her, dispelling the chill brought by the night wind and bringing her warmth again.

"Let me guess, you want to make friends with your classmates, but they find it too troublesome to communicate with you, and they even make fun of your pronunciation, so they isolate you and bully you, right?"

Shoko understood his lip movements, bit her lip lightly, and nodded.

"So you feel wronged and sad, right?"
