Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

However, thinking about her next goal, she calmly suppressed her questions and explained, "Not yet, but my senior is already writing it. After it's finished, my band and I will need a recording studio for practice and recording, so I'd like to rent one long-term."

Yukiko's eyes darted around, and she looked at her with some surprise. After a few seconds, she asked curiously, "Do you really believe that Yuta can keep writing new songs?"

A flash of dissatisfaction crossed Ayako's eyes again, but she still said seriously with a blank expression, "Yes, I believe in you, senpai, and I can write songs myself."

"As expected, girls in love always have so much confidence in their partners~" Yukiko teased with a grin. As for Ayako saying she wrote her own songs, well, let's just pretend we didn't hear that.

"However, lending money is out of the question."

"what?!"

Ayako clenched her fists instinctively. If she hadn't considered the huge difference in their fighting abilities, she might have already pinned Yukiko down.

Unfortunately, Yukiko on the other side had a disappointed look on her face, as if to say, "Come and hit me then~ Why don't you do it? What a pity~" This made Yukiko radiate a cold aura, and she was about to lose her composure.

There was nothing she could do; she didn't know why, it was as if they were born to clash, Yukiko could always easily stir up her nerves.

"Speak, what are your conditions!" Ayako took a deep breath and asked coldly.

Across from her, Yukiko still wore that sweet, adorable smile that was almost unfair, teasingly saying, "My silly little sister, you've guessed wrong this time. No loan this time, no conditions. But if you want a recording studio and practice space, you can sign this contract~"

"contract?"

Ayako frowned slightly, reached out and took the contract that Yukiko handed her, which was obviously prepared in advance. She quickly flipped through it and then fell into deep thought.

This is a transfer agreement for a small entertainment company.

This entertainment company's main business is music production and artist management, but it seems that all of its artists have been sold off, leaving only one agent in the entire artist department.

However, its music production department is quite complete, with a freehold five-story building covering 300 square meters, which includes dance studios, instrument rooms, recording studios, and more. The recording studio, in particular, is even more upscale than the one she had previously rented.

The company's total assets are worth approximately 10 billion yen.

All she has to do now is sign and stamp this contract, and the company with total assets of 10 billion yen will be hers.

The price to pay is a 1 million yen bank loan that will mature in six months.

This is by no means without a price!

It's clearly a huge price to pay!

Unless she can stand by and watch her company go bankrupt and be auctioned off by the bank because it can't repay its loans.

Otherwise, how could she possibly earn 1 million yuan in just six months with only her band and no other artists?

More importantly, is turning hobbies into a job really a good thing?

Although she is young, she knows that if you turn your hobbies into a job, many things will lose their original meaning.

Moreover, she chose to play in a band simply to have a way to vent and relax, not to make money!

"How about we just refuse?"

Ayako made up her mind to toss the contract in her hand onto the coffee table in a cool manner, and then turn around and leave gracefully.

However, she suddenly thought of Kitagawa Yu, the coffee shop whose business was limited due to its remote location, Sada Anri who had graduated and was working hard to make ends meet while playing in a band, and Chiyo Momoko who was a senior in high school this year and was about to enter the workforce. She hesitated again.

For them, music and bands are not just interests, hobbies, or dreams; they are also their livelihood.

"call--"

This time, after only a few seconds of silence, Ayako put the agreement back on the coffee table, opened her bag, took out a pen, and signed her name on it.

Yukiko, who had been quietly watching her, couldn't help but smile with relief when she saw this scene. Her eyes, as mysterious as the night sky, revealed a hint of satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Yu was also hunched over his desk, quickly writing down the sheet music and then racking his brains to recall the original lyrics.

It's hard to say whether lyrics or music are more important, but following the original version will make it easier to achieve the same success.

Just as he had finally figured out the Japanese meaning of the pronunciation of the chorus of "Running Towards the Night" and was about to write it down, an urgent and terrified voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Help me—"

"Someone can come and save me!"

Kitagawa Yu sat up straight instantly, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Is that Shimizu Yuna's voice?"

"That's right! System task!"

Kitagawa Yu immediately summoned the system panel, and sure enough, he saw the system's wish triggered by Shimizu Yuna in the information bar.

"It's a distress call! Shimizu Yuna is in danger?!"

Thinking about Shimizu Yuna's work, and looking at the time, it was already 10 pm without her realizing it.

Kitagawa Yu immediately guessed what kind of danger Shimizu Yuna was facing, which made his eyes narrow and his breathing become rapid.

Although he and Shimizu Yuna had only known each other for a short time and were just classmates and ordinary friends, he couldn't help but feel furious when he learned that Shimizu Yuna was in such danger!

Without even having time to greet Chizuka and Elena, who were watching a movie next door, Kitagawa Yu immediately activated the system's teleportation function and rushed over.

At this moment, he was truly grateful that Shimizu Yuna had been recorded by the system as his follower.

Chapter 94 Passion Arises, a Shocking Appearance (Two Chapters Combined)

Where there is light, there is darkness. Under the cover of night, Shinjuku, known as the city that never sleeps, is not only filled with bustling streets and brightly lit nightclubs, but also with alleys hidden in the shadows.

Just a couple hundred meters from the bustling Shinjuku Station, in a small alley, the lights were dim, and only at the end of the alley could you barely make out some blurry outlines.

The walls on both sides still bear moldy advertisements and graffiti, giving it a sense of desolation.

The ubiquitous litter and debris have turned this place into a paradise for cockroaches, rats, and other scourges.

An unpleasant odor permeated the air.

"Woo--Woo--"

With tears streaming down her face, Shimizu Yuna struggled desperately with all her might.

Unfortunately, she was just a girl after all. Compared to three strong young adults, her strength was nothing, and the karate she had learned at school was completely useless.

With her mouth covered, it was even more difficult to make a complete cry for help, especially since this was a remote alley where almost no one would pass by.

At that moment, she truly regretted why she had chosen to accept the job when she saw that the person who had bullied her before was the one who hired her.

The evil in people's hearts far exceeded her imagination!

At that moment, she was truly in utter despair!

Just as tears were streaming down her pale cheeks, and her heart, filled with fear and despair, was about to give up in resignation, a familiar figure suddenly appeared, like the warm and bright afternoon sun—not dazzling, but dispelling all the darkness for her.

"Kitagawa-kun?!"

"Bang bang bang-"

Three muffled thuds rang out, and the smiles on the faces of the three men in front of them froze.

Immediately afterwards, Shimizu Yuna noticed that the arms that had been covering her mouth and holding her quickly lost their grip, and she collapsed to the ground along with the three men.

"This is not a dream."

Shimizu Yuna, who had escaped, was stunned for a moment before bursting into tears of joy and throwing herself into Kitagawa Yu's arms.

Kitagawa Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief at this moment.

Fortunately, he could teleport and arrived quickly enough that Shimizu Yuna hadn't encountered the worst situation before he got there; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

Kitagawa Yu gently stroked the back of Shimizu Yuna, who was still trembling in his arms, and comforted her tenderly.

He harbored not a single evil thought; all he felt was pity and sympathy for Shimizu Yuna.

Meanwhile, Shimizu Yuna greedily inhaled Kitagawa Yu's scent. An unprecedented warmth and sense of security enveloped her, quickly dispelling her fear and unease, and her trembling body gradually calmed down.

She didn't know why Kitagawa Yu was there, and that didn't matter. All she needed to know was that Kitagawa Yu had saved her when she was most helpless and desperate.

At this moment, the seed that had been buried deep in my heart for some unknown time sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain and then grew rapidly at an astonishing speed.

But then she suddenly remembered the situation here, and quickly lifted her head from the warm embrace that she loved and was reluctant to leave, and asked anxiously, "Are they...are they alright?"

The "they" she was referring to were naturally the three bad guys who bullied her, and she wasn't so saintly as to care whether those three bad guys were hurt.

She was just worried that if Kitagawa Yu had accidentally used excessive force in the heat of the moment, he might have crippled or even killed someone, which would have been terrible.

While Kitagawa Yu's actions may have been considered acts of heroism, if he had seriously injured or even killed someone, it would have clearly exceeded the necessary limits and he would have to bear legal responsibility.

Kitagawa Yu guessed what she was worried about and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry, they're fine. They just fainted. You forgot, I'm a karate master who can even knock out our club's captain. I'll definitely control my strength."

Shimizu Yuna secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While feeling relieved, she couldn't help but think of Kitagawa Yu's cool move in the club match that day, where he knocked out Kamiki Daisuke with a single kick, and what followed...

The images in her mind made Shimizu Yuna's cheeks burn and her heart race. She couldn't help but snuggle closer to Kitagawa Yu's arms.

Is this what it feels like to like someone?

The thought immediately made Shimizu Yuna blush and become even more shy.

However, considering where she was and the three unconscious bad guys at her feet, she tried her best to control her emotions and quickly suggested, "Let's get out of here quickly!"

"Um"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Kitagawa Yu's eyes.

Are they just leaving like that?

Calling the police would obviously be useless, since there were no security cameras in the alley, and Shimizu Yuna's clothes were only a little disheveled and she hadn't actually been assaulted. At most, they would just be detained for a while.

Moreover, he had already recognized the blond guy he had seen before.

This means that Shimizu Yuna's encounter with danger was a premeditated crime.

Even if he had just struck hard, these three might not stop there. More likely, they would use even more dangerous and cruel methods to continue their revenge against Shimizu Yuna.

Even if Shimizu Yuna no longer does this kind of work, they might still be able to find her through her phone, the internet, or even photos.

Most importantly, why should such scum be allowed to continue living in the world?

Should we let him continue wasting food and bullying other girls?

How can we make these three scumbags die quietly without arousing suspicion from the police or the government?

Kitagawa Yu immediately thought of curses—an evil and eerie method of murder that was silent and undetectable even to Conan.
