Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Yuta Kijima glanced silently at the still warm and gentle morning light outside the window.

It's not even noon yet for Grandma Li; this little bit of sunshine is just enough to give you some calcium, okay?

With a sigh, he resignedly got up to pour tea for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was left with a smug look on her face, while Eriri was still in shock.

While Kijima Yuta went to pour her tea, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the absent-minded Eriri beside her and said, "Hey! Sawamura-kun."

"Hmm?" Eriri's azure eyes seemed to have lost their usual luster.

Seeing that the usually arrogant young lady had become like this over such a small matter, Kasumigaoka Utaha softened her tone a bit and said lazily, "Have you ever heard of someone named Hashima Izumi?"

"Bo Island goes to sea?"

Chapter 169: Is the Loser's Dog Preordained?

"Bo Island goes to sea?"

Eriri was a little confused when she heard this unfamiliar name. Could this be the new artist that Tomoya found?

"It seems your understanding of Ethics-kun is limited to that laughable elementary school level." Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back on the sofa, holding the cat, her right leg skillfully crossed over her left, showcasing her advantage to the fullest.

Just then, Yuta Kijima placed the barley tea he had poured in front of her.

"Weren't you incredibly thirsty after walking all this way? I'll pour you another cup after you finish this one," Yuta Kijima said teasingly to his senior.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at him with her phoenix eyes upon hearing this, ignoring his sarcasm, and looked at Eriri beside her, who was lost in memories: "So, Sawamura-kun, do you remember knowing this person before?"

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima shrugged in boredom and returned to his original seat, quietly watching the tug-of-war between the two.

Eriri bit her lip and shook her head: "I have never heard of the name 'Sailing from Hashima,' but where did you hear about it?"

She flashed her little tiger teeth and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her suspiciously. How did you find out about this, even she didn't know?

"How do I know?" Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and scratched the cat's chin, saying softly, "Of course, it was Rintoki who told me himself."

"He told you himself?" Eriri nearly jumped off the sofa like a cat with its fur standing on end, and hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't he tell me about this!..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I... I mean, why didn't anyone from any club say this?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a mocking tone, "I think Ethics-kun also wanted to find an opportunity to tell you."

"But poor Ethin-kun's grades are really bad, so he's been kept at Toyonosaki for a training course this weekend."

“…” Kijima Yuta was speechless.

Hearing his senior's explanation, he remembered something. While the school festival was still going on, Aki Tomoya had discussed with everyone, hoping that if he passed the assessment after the results were announced, they would have a club gathering that weekend.

Unfortunately, or perhaps unsurprisingly, Aki Tomoya successfully enrolled in the training program with extremely poor grades.

When the results were announced, Aki Tomoya congratulated him on getting first place in the grade with a tone full of complaints.

Thinking about this, Yuta Kijima had a very bad feeling about going to Toyonosaki tomorrow.

The eye shifts to the living room.

Eriri realized what was going on after hearing this and asked through gritted teeth, "So, if the club activities this weekend hadn't been canceled, Tomoya would have taken that...Hama Island...out to sea to participate?"

"Sawamura-kun is really smart." Kasumigaoka Utaha continued to soothe the cat, quite pleased to see her arch-rival Sawamura Eriri acting this way. "Guess when Tomo-kun told me?"

"?" Eriri bit her lower lip, looking at him fiercely. "Yeah? Why would he tell you this beforehand?"

"Of course, it was on the last day of the school festival that I saw Rinichi-kun strolling around Toyonosaki with his cute junior schoolmate," Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a look of disdain.

"What?" Eriri exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Since it was the last day of the school festival, the drama club wanted to have a get-together, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to go back to Toyonosaki again." Kasumigaoka Utaha held a cat in one arm and wrapped her other hand around her loose hair, a smile playing on her lips.

"Of course, it was also by chance that I ran into Ethics-kun and that cute junior schoolmate."

"Speaking of which, that junior is not junior at all, she's even more mature than Sawamura-kun." As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Eriri in front of her.

Eriri felt her teasing gaze and quickly covered herself with her hands, revealing her sharp fangs, and said, "What are you talking about, you idiot!"

"Doesn't Sawamura-kun know perfectly well what I mean?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with joy.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri stood up angrily and glared at her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, completely unconcerned by her shouting, yawned lightly and said, "Sawamura-kun, don't you know you should use honorifics when speaking to your senior?"

"you!"

Eriri was thoroughly annoyed. Ever since receiving the message from the gloomy woman last night, the only time she was happy was during breakfast. Knowing the truth was one thing, but she never expected to be mocked by this woman.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, Sawamura-kun, let me finish what I have to say."

Kasumigaoka Utaha squinted at the pitiful loser. Although she hadn’t seen the outcome, she already knew how it would end: “I heard during our chat that Hashima Izumi was also Tomoyuki’s childhood friend.”

"Speaking of which, Rinichi-kun has a lot of childhood friends. I remember... Sawamura-kun also called himself..."

Eriri bit her lower lip in anger, “…”

Only Yuta Kijima remained a quiet bystander, observing the situation unfold.

"I heard that kid is also going to participate in this year's Summer Comic Exhibition. I wonder what our Sawamura-kun thinks?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was languid, seemingly completely unconcerned about Eriri and Tomokazu's entanglement. "That's about all I know. You can find out the rest, Eriri, at the next club activity."

Eriri's golden twin tails swayed unsteadily, her heart filled with turmoil. "I'll definitely see for myself how amazing that artist is."

Even though she's getting increasingly at odds with Aki Tomoya now, it doesn't mean she'll consider herself inferior.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "It looks like there will be a good show going to happen then."

Yuta Kijima nodded in agreement.

……

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled elegantly, but glanced at Kijima Yuta: "Then, junior, shall you begin to serve me?"

"Sawamura-kun, you can cry in secret if you want, or go play somewhere else if you want, just don't bother us."

"?" Eriri was taken aback upon hearing this, her eyes shifting incredulously between the two of them.

There was no way around it; Kasumigaoka Utaha's art of speaking was too high. No matter who heard her, they would always find it outrageous. Kijima Yuta was speechless after hearing it.

Senior, you've really gone too far. I never agreed to be your servant.

Chapter 170 Two Women Make a Show

"Senior, when did I agree to be your servant?"

Yuta Kijima gazed over and calmly replied that he was certain Eriri was there, which was why his senior had said something so ambiguous.

"What are you talking about, you gloomy woman?" Eriri asked through gritted teeth.

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback. "Didn't I use this secret to get the right to use it from my junior today?"

"What right to use?!" Eriri bared her fangs and gritted her teeth, saying, "Even if you didn't say it, Tomoya would have said it at the next club gathering!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say anything, but simply put the cat on her lap onto the sofa, glanced up at Kijima Yuta, and then looked at Eriri: "I don't remember when you became so attached to your junior?"

"Is it all just for drawing my comics?"

"Y-you-you-you..." Eriri froze, her eyes darting around in panic, and stammered, "What are you saying!?"

How could she possibly know about this? She didn't tell anyone except Yuta!

Then her pretty face hardened, and she looked at Yuta Kijima sitting to the side with a suspicious look.

From the very beginning, I heard Kasumigaoka Utaha say those strange things, like "servant" and the like.

You wouldn't betray me like that guy Renya did, would you?

Yuta Kijima noticed Eriri's gaze and immediately raised his hands to explain, "Eri, don't look at me. I'm not the kind of person who likes to talk about other people's private matters."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lay back on the sofa and said in a lazy tone, "Sawamura-kun's IQ is indeed as small as his size. He doubts his junior over such a simple thing."

"I knew what you were going to do the moment you finished watching my play. To be honest, is this really a child's way of getting revenge?"

Hearing this, Eriri's face turned pale with fright. She didn't distrust Yuta at all; it was all Kasumigaoka Utaha's fault for influencing her emotions. The key was that she didn't know how to refute him, so she looked nervously at Kijima Yuta.

I wanted to reassure him about my trust, since I really don't have many friends left.

"..."

Yuta Kijima took a closer look at Eriri. Was she finally defeated by her senior?

So I really don't know how to handle the situation when the two of you are together.

“Senior…” Kijima Yuta decisively interrupted his senior’s taunts.

At times like these, he still needs to step in and ease the tension. I really don't know when the two of you will be able to get along a little better.

Seeing that Eriri still looked pitiful, Kijima Yuta smiled slightly at her and said softly, "Don't worry, I know you didn't mean that."

Eriri paused for a moment, biting her cherry lips as she said, "I'm sorry, Yuta... I really didn't doubt you, it's just that this fat woman in black stockings likes to talk nonsense..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shrugged helplessly after hearing this. She hadn't even started to exert herself yet, and it was already failing...

But when did this "loser" start caring so much about her junior? She managed to describe him like this in just a few words.

She couldn't help but touch her chin with her finger and begin to curiously look around at the two of them.

Kijima Yuta sighed softly and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Senpai, to be honest, there's nothing I can do to help you right now that I'm at home."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes looked at Yuta Kijima. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Is there nothing you can do to help me?"

"I walked so far to your house, my feet are so sore, can you massage them for me?"

"And I've been staying up late lately writing and revising articles, and my back and waist are aching. Could you massage my shoulders and blow on my legs for me?"

"I'm a little hungry too, and I want to eat the salt and pepper chicken wings that Yuzuru mentioned."

Yuta Kijima and Eriri were both stunned upon hearing this.

The former looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a strange expression, while the latter was curious about what had happened to Yuta that allowed this gloomy woman to make such unreasonable demands with such self-righteousness.

"Are you serious, senior?" Kijima Yuta lowered his voice unconsciously, while his gaze involuntarily drifted to Kasumigaoka Utaha's little leather shoes swaying up and down. You really think I'm your servant, huh?

"Why not? Your beautiful mistress's feet are sore from walking. Shouldn't your junior, who is her servant, help massage her feet? Or do you think Sawamura-kun is in your way?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back on the sofa, looking at him with a half-smile. She didn't think Kijima Yuta would actually agree to this unreasonable request in front of Eriri.

"The soul is pale!"

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's serious expression, Eriri felt a surge of reluctance and nervousness. She immediately stepped between the two to block Kijima Yuta's view, gritting her teeth and saying, "No way!"
