Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"Ayumi? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing!"

"Didn't you ask Kitagawa-kun to borrow your textbook for the next class? Where is it?"

"Um... I forgot about that."

Ayumi chuckled awkwardly and scratched her head.

Chihiro Ono and Kiku Hinazuki, standing nearby, exchanged bewildered glances.

Their eyes weren't blind, and their brains weren't damaged; how could they not notice that Ayumi was acting a little strange? However, just as they were about to ask her questions, the school bell rang at an inopportune moment, so they had to give up for the time being and return to their seats.

Ayumi sat down as well, her mind involuntarily replaying the scene she had just witnessed. Her eyes darkened, and her heart suddenly began to clench with uncontrollable pain.

"Did I just...did I see that right?" Ayumi instinctively gripped her school uniform tightly with her left hand, curling up and slumping onto the table.

"How come Yuta and Shimizu are so close?"

Ayumi couldn't understand it at all. She had learned from Chihiro and Kiku that Kitagawa Yuu had always been a loner at school and had no friends at all.

After they became friends, they spent almost every day together because of tutoring, whether at school, during lunch break, or between classes.

Even if they couldn't go home together occasionally because of club activities, Ayako and Kitagawa Yu were still there. When did Kitagawa Yu meet Shimizu Yuna?

the most important is

Why Shimizu-kun?

She knew that Koji Majima's dislike and hatred of her had nothing to do with Yuna Shimizu. After all, Koji Majima had already disliked and hated her before he met Yuna Shimizu.

But watching her childhood friend pursue other girls like a sycophant, she couldn't help but harbor resentment towards Shimizu Yuna. She fantasized that if Shimizu Yuna hadn't existed, would Majima Koji have been moved by her, remembered the promise they made together when they were young, and changed his mind about her?

So seeing Shimizu Yuna rush into Kitagawa Yu's arms and the two of them hugging so intimately made her feel really, really sad.

She almost ran over to separate the two, but then she remembered her identity.

"Yu and I are just good friends. If Yu and Shimizu really like each other, what right do I have to stop them?"

Moreover, from a rational perspective, if Shimizu Yuna really gets together with Kitagawa Yu, wouldn't Majima Koji be 'heartbroken'? In that case, wouldn't she have another chance to return to Majima Koji's side?

But at this moment, there was absolutely no image of Koji Majima in her mind. All she could think of was the image of Yu Kitagawa and Yuna Shimizu embracing each other, and every moment she had spent with Yu Kitagawa over the past twenty days.

It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized how happy and relaxed she was when she was with Kitagawa Yu, a feeling completely different from being with her best friends like Chihiro and Kiku.

It wasn't the tension, sadness, or caution she felt when she was with Koji Majima.

"Could it be that I really have fallen in love with Yu a long time ago, just like Chihiro and Kiku said?"

The thought suddenly popped into Ayumi's head, and then it was like a sharp thorn, piercing her heart once again, making her nose sting and almost bringing her to tears.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot! Why didn't you notice sooner?!"

Ayumi wanted nothing more than to get up immediately, rush out of the classroom, find Kitagawa Yu, and tell him that she didn't want to just be friends with him; she liked him, and had liked him for a very, very long time.

But then, Shimizu Yuna, Asuka Ayako, and even Chizuka and Elena, whom she had never thought of before, flashed through her mind one by one, like a heavy hammer that smashed her impulse to pieces.

Regardless of looks, temperament, talent, or personality, she is inferior to Ayako and Chizuka in every way. Why would Kitagawa Yu like her?

Is it just because she runs fast?

Despite being the best runner, she always ended up lagging behind others.

The thought of this made her heart ache, and she became completely disoriented.

"Hey, Ayumi, are you really okay?"

As soon as the bell rang, Chihiro and Kiku, who had been worried about her, immediately ran over.

Ayumi's muddled mind finally cleared up a bit, and when she looked up at the two people's concerned expressions, she almost cried again.

However, she still tried her best to hold back.

"I'm really okay~"

"Please, do you think we're idiots? You don't look like you're alright at all! You practically have something on your face!"

"."

"Is something wrong with your body?" Xiaoju asked at this moment.

"No, it's just that I feel so stupid. I can't do anything right, and I make a mess of everything. Why? Why didn't I realize it sooner? If I had realized it sooner, Ayako would have delivered Yu's lunchbox even before me."

Ayumi lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

Chihiro and Kiku tried very hard to understand what she was saying, and then they unconsciously frowned.

"Is this... being overwhelmed by Ayako's excellence?"

"Any girl would feel inferior if she were compared to Ayako-senpai."

"What should I do?"

"Um... you're asking me? Who should I ask?"

"Should we persuade Ayumi to leave Kitagawa Yu?"

"Please! Ayumi is such a blockhead and stubborn person. Even though Koji Majima treated her like that, she still persisted for so many years."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it."

"."

Chihiro and Kiku exchanged a quick glance, then sighed in unison.

Finally, Chihiro spoke up again, asking, "Is Kitagawa-kun already dating Ayako-san?"

Ayumi, who had been lost in her own world, froze, then subconsciously shook her head: "No, I don't think so, right?"

Ayumi quickly recalled the situation and realized that Ayako and Kitagawa Yu's level of intimacy was about the same as hers and Kitagawa Yu's.

"Then why are you so depressed!" Chihiro said, slapping her on the head, making her clutch her head in pain.

"Everyone knows you're an idiot, okay? Since Kitagawa-kun hasn't accepted Ayako-san yet, nor has he looked down on you, it means he doesn't care at all whether you're an idiot or not!"

“Yeah!” Kiku chimed in, nodding. “Maybe Kitagawa-kun likes a simpleton like you! Aren’t girls who are a little silly cuties?”

"."

Ayumi's eyes widened, a big question mark appearing in her head. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.

Because she suddenly realized that what Chihiro said seemed to make a lot of sense. Ayako didn't seem to be a threat to her after all. Otherwise, Kitagawa Yu should have accepted Ayako long ago and started dating her.

Similarly, it can be proven that Chizuka should be the same, otherwise Kitagawa Yuya should have been dating Chizuka long ago.

Based on this calculation, she should at least be on par with Ayako and Chizuka.

But what about Shimizu Yuna?

She saw Kitagawa Yu and Shimizu Yuna hugging each other with her own eyes!

Moreover, she already lost to Shimizu Yuna last time, so can she win this time?

To be honest, she has absolutely no confidence in defeating Shimizu Yuna right now.

Faced with Chihiro and Kiku's concerned gazes, she tried her best to hide her worries and forced out a passionate smile.

"Don't worry, Chihiro, Kiku! I understand! I'll do my best and won't give up like this!"

"."

Chihiro and Kiku across from each other exchanged a glance, their lips twitching involuntarily.

"Please! It's precisely because of idiots and stubborn people like you that we don't trust you!"

Despite their words, they genuinely didn't believe that Ayumi could defeat Ayako, a beautiful girl who was perfect from every angle, and actually end up with Kitagawa Yu.

so.

"Kami-sama! Please bless me so I can defeat Shimizu-kun this time!"

"Gods! Please bless Ayumi and make her give up sooner this time!"

"God! Please, make Kitagawa-kun an idiot too, and then make him fall for Ayumi!"

Next door, Kitagawa Yu, who had been sleeping soundly on the table, was suddenly startled by three consecutive system notifications and jumped up from his desk. His confused eyes took several seconds to focus, and then he showed a bewildered expression.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Chapter 102 Let Me Help You One More Time

After glancing at the system interface again and confirming that the three wish-makers were indeed Ayumi, Chihiro, and Kiku, Kitagawa Yu was speechless.

"What on earth are these three guys doing?"

Why would Ayumi suddenly want to defeat Yuna?

"And then there's Ono Chihiro and Hinazuki Kiku. One wants Ayumi to give up sooner, and the other wants me to become stupid so I can fall for Ayumi. Is there something wrong with my understanding, or are their wishes inherently contradictory?"

Kitagawa Yu's brows furrowed involuntarily.

At first, when he saw Ayumi wish to defeat Shimizu Yuna, he thought it was because of him, but then he felt something was wrong.

Does Ayumi like him?

And it seems that Ayumi doesn't know about his relationship with Shimizu Yuna, right?

As his mind raced back to the moments he had spent with Ayumi, a complex expression appeared in Kitagawa Yu's eyes.

Perhaps it was at the very beginning, in the restaurant, when I pitifully begged myself not to tell anyone.

Perhaps it was when they were eating lunch together in the emergency stairwell, promising to become good friends.

Perhaps it was when I walked her home under a sky full of stars every night, and waved goodbye to her with a smile in front of her house.

Anyway, he didn't know when it started, but he did develop feelings for Ayumi and began to like this simple, straightforward, and single-minded girl.

But Ayumi seems to have been like this ever since they agreed to be friends.

He could sense that Ayako liked him, and he could also sense that Chizuka and Elaina had feelings for him, but he had never sensed any feelings for Ayumi that could develop into love.

so.
