Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Crench!"

Hearing their thoughts, Anya chewed on her peanuts, her big, adorable eyes darting around, looking at this and that, before finally extending her chubby left hand and showing them her five fingers.

Five ice creams?

"make a deal!"

As she spoke, a strange look suddenly flashed in Ai's eyes.

"Why does Anya only offer a maximum of five when negotiating? Could it be that she doesn't have enough fingers?"

Of course, to prevent Anya from escalating the situation, Ai quickly dismissed the thought.

The speed was so fast that Anya didn't have time to react at all!

"Onii-chan won't agree to date Sonoko-neechan!" Anya said in a childish voice.

After hearing this, Elena and Ai felt relieved, but then they suddenly remembered something and secretly glanced at each other, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.

Although they didn't want to admit it, they knew very well that after spending so many days together at close range, they had indeed developed some feelings for Kitagawa Yu.

This is actually inevitable, after all, traveling together is the easiest way to spark some interesting moments.

However, both of them had their own concerns.

Ai's concern is that she and Kitagawa Yu are not in the same world, which is much more difficult than a long-distance relationship.

Elena, on the other hand, wants to continue traveling and doesn't want to settle down in a certain place like her mother.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but sigh silently again.

Meanwhile, after pulling Sonoko aside to a corner away from everyone's view, Kitagawa Yu confessed his feelings: "I'm sorry, I can't accept a long-distance relationship. And I already have someone I like!"

"This should make Sonoko give up, right?" Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

Across from her, Sonoko first loosened her fingers after listening, took a deep breath, and then showed a cheerful smile that looked no different from usual.

"Just as I expected!" Sonoko said with a grin.

"Actually, I knew you wouldn't accept it, but I finally liked someone so much, and it was the first time I'd ever been so brave as to take the initiative. If I gave up without even confessing, I would feel a little regretful."

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

This is similar to how, in many situations, it's hard to let go of a relationship. It's not that you really like the other person, but that you can't let go of the part of yourself that likes them.

Of course, in psychology or economics, it can also be explained by the concept of 'sunk cost'.

"But who do you actually like? Ai or Elena, which one do you like?" Sonoko, who had completely let go of the past, couldn't help but reveal her gossipy nature again.

"Uh this"

Kitagawa Yu touched his nose somewhat guiltily, avoiding eye contact with her.

Can he say he likes both of them?

Although he spent a little more time with Elaine, he was actually more familiar with and understood Ai Haibara because he had watched Detective Conan for so many years in his previous life.

Most importantly, the person he just mentioned liking doesn't seem to be either Elena or Ai.

At least at that time, the faces that came to mind didn't seem to be them.

Sonoko noticed his expression and immediately widened her eyes dramatically: "Hey, hey, are you still undecided or do you like both of them? You're not hiding some scumbag side, are you?"

"Cough cough. What are you saying? How could I possibly be that kind of person!"

"Hehe, I was just kidding~" Sonoko grinned mischievously, but then said in a very serious tone, "I can tell they both like you, even more than I do. So as your mutual friend, I just hope that once you've made up your mind, you can be decisive and straightforward. That way, you'll hurt the other one less~"

Thank you for your suggestion.

Kitagawa Yu gave a silent, bitter smile.

"You're going to the airport, right? I'll have the driver take you!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony~ But speaking of which, how did you know we were leaving in a few days?"

"Because our family owns a share in this restaurant!"

"The evil power of money!"

An hour later, the extended limousine arrived at Haneda International Airport.

Sonoko escorted them all the way to the waiting room before her smile faded, her waving arms lowered, and a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

Having truly invested their feelings, how could they possibly let go so easily?

"Miss, let's go back."

"Well, okay, I see."

Sonoko concealed the disappointment in her eyes, took one last deep look in the direction Kitagawa Yu and the others had left, and a bright smile returned to her face.

"It's okay! Sonoko! You'll find a boyfriend who's even more handsome than Yuu sooner or later! Yeah! That's it!"

Chapter 89 Pushing the envelope

"Finally home!"

Like a frozen frame that has been put back on play, it smoothly jumps to the next frame.

Because they changed back into their original clothes and got a haircut when they returned, they looked almost exactly the same when they came back to the main world.

However, having spent more than a month in the world of Detective Conan, those who know them well will quickly notice that their relationship has become noticeably different.

"Hey, did you bring it back?"

"Let me check, I brought them all back! Not a single item is missing!"

"Great!"

"Yeah, now we can become rich in this world very quickly, right?"

"As a witch, can't you have some ambition?"

"cannot!"

As she spoke, Elena grinned and made a face at Kitagawa Yu, then reached out to cover the magic pouch hanging from her waist, her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing wildly.

Seeing this, Shoko and Yuzuru on the opposite side looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's strange, when did Onii-chan and Elaina-neechan become so close?"

"I don't know. Maybe they knew each other before, but haven't seen each other for a long time, so they were a little unfamiliar at first, but now that they've spent some time together, they've become as close as before?"

"Yeah, maybe."

"By the way, sister, look at Anya. I feel like Anya has suddenly gained weight in the blink of an eye!"

"Huh? Really? Let me see. Hey! It really is! Is this some kind of magic that makes you instantly fat?"

"No, Anya didn't gain weight! Anya just... just drank too much cola and is a little puffy! Yes! That's it!"

Anya, who had overheard the two whispering, immediately retorted haltingly, her eyes darting around guiltily.

Just kidding, how could a beautiful girl possibly get fat! A beautiful girl will never get fat!

"Ania wants to grow up to be a great beauty like Elena and Chizuka so she won't get fat! Yes! That's it!"

On the other hand, Kitagawa Yuuka didn't have mind-reading abilities and had no idea that Anya was already worrying about such things at such a young age.

With so many great things in hand, he couldn't wait to go home and organize them.

But then he immediately thought of Shoko and Yuzuru.

Because they are from a single-parent family, her mother is busy earning money every day and has no time to spend with them.

Now that we've finally managed to get together for a trip, it would be so disappointing and frustrating to have to go back so soon.

"Oh well, one more day won't make a difference."

"Let's go, the dolphin show is about to start, let's hurry over!"

Shoko and Yuzuru, who were originally sandwiched between Anya and feeling increasingly guilty as they looked Anya up and down, immediately forgot about Anya's sudden weight gain upon hearing this and broke into bright smiles.

Most of the time, children's happiness is so simple and pure, and they are easily satisfied.

Of course, some naughty kids are an exception.

For example, Conan, and those three little devils from the Detective Boys who are always courting death.

The five people quickly arrived at the dolphin show area.

Unlike open-air aquariums, this indoor aquarium is designed with meticulous attention to detail in its ceiling, walls, and lighting to create the feeling of being in the deep sea.

Watching dolphin shows up close in this environment gives you the feeling that the dolphins are right beside you, playing and frolicking together in the deep sea.

The experience was truly fantastic.

It's no wonder that this aquarium has become one of the most popular aquariums in Tokyo and even in all of Japan.

“Wow~~!”

"These dolphins are amazing!"

"Ahhhhhh, Onii-chan, help me! That dolphin is going to jump on Anya!!! I'll kill it!!!"

"By the way, Onii-chan, do you think dolphins like to eat peanuts? Can I feed them peanuts?"

"."

"What about ice cream? What about cola?"

"Hehe! The dolphins will definitely thank you!"

"."

Watching Anya and the other two shouting excitedly, Kitagawa Yu and Elena exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

However, unlike children who are easily satisfied, adults often always want more.

While Kitagawa Yu and his friends were watching the dolphin show, not far away in a transparent underwater tunnel, Kuroda Tatsu, perhaps influenced by his surroundings, first looked up at the huge school of sardines swimming slowly overhead like white clouds, then looked ahead at his two childhood friends walking hand in hand, their faces full of sweetness.

A strange impulse suddenly welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab Shimizu Yuna's fair little hand beside him.
