Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

After the conversation, the two returned to their usual work routine.

……

It wasn't until 11:30 that Yuta Kijima finally snapped out of his daze.

He glanced at Eriri, who was still drawing diligently, and left the room without disturbing her to prepare lunch.

When Yuta Kijima came out of the kitchen, he saw Eriri walk into the kitchen.

He put down his plate and asked curiously, "Is Eriri so punctual today? I was just about to go and call you."

Eriri blushed slightly and whispered, "I was still drawing, but Yuta, your cooking smelled so good that I realized you weren't here..."

Yuta Kijima said gently, "Then wait a moment, I'll go wake up my senior."

Eriri's eyes sharpened as she looked at Yuta Kijima, and she couldn't help but say, "That guy really doesn't treat himself like an outsider..."

Yuta Kijima chuckled, didn't reply, and walked towards his room.

Open the door.

He saw Kasumigaoka Utaha, fast asleep with her legs wrapped around her blanket, and the cat that had been circling around her. When it saw him push the door open, it immediately started meowing and rushed towards him.

It's really tough on it. After the senior fell asleep, it lost its servant. It was mealtime, but it couldn't go out. It could only anxiously circle around the sleeping senior.

Kijima Yuta bent down and hugged the cat at his feet before looking seriously at his senior.

The senior student, asleep, wasn't sarcastic at all; she quietly closed her eyes, finally showing some of the aloof beauty of Toyonosaki.

"Senior?"

"Senior?"

Thinking of the otaku pear waiting to be fed in the kitchen, Kijima Yuta stopped watching and began to softly call out to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Um……?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha finally woke up on the soft bed. There was no way around it; the warm sunlight streaming into the room from the window was cozy, and the blankets had a comforting scent, so she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had just opened her eyes, was still in a daze. Perhaps the blanket in her arms was a little too warm, so she threw it off.

It let out a lazy meow like a kitten, stretched its body, and then slowly opened its eyes.

"Junior...?"

Chapter 173 Enemies

She looked up at Yuta Kijima, raising an eyebrow as if to say, "Why are you disturbing my sweet dream? What are you trying to do?"

Yuta Kijima, who was standing to the side, originally wanted to wait for his senior to calm down, but then he thought of Eriri and the panda in his arms that had started to make a fuss.

"I came to call you to lunch, senior. It's already past noon. You should be almost asleep by now, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head slightly, her fair and delicate profile looking exceptionally beautiful in the light, and yawned: "Ha..."

"Junior, your bed is really comfortable. I wonder if you put some kind of sleeping potion in it?"

Yuta Kijima was speechless: "..."

Suddenly I think you should just keep sleeping, sweetie, don't open your mouth.

Kasumigaoka Utaha got up: "You can go out first, I'll wash my face and come right away."

Yuta Kijima said, "Okay."

Then, carrying the impatient panda, she walked out of the room and only returned to the dining room after settling it in the living room.

"Where's Kasumigaoka Utaha? Yuta." Eriri narrowed her eyes, her tone gradually turning unfriendly. "If she doesn't want to eat, Yuta, don't bother waking her up. Just let her sleep."

If it weren't for Kasumigaoka Utaha, she could have filled her empty stomach long ago; now her resentment is almost greater than that of a vengeful spirit.

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha had regained her usual refined and calm demeanor as she walked into the restaurant. After sitting down, she glanced at Eriri and said, "Does our young lady still like this kind of common food?"

"stare--"

Eriri glared at her fiercely, almost ready to bite her. Seeing that things had escalated to this point, Kijima Yuta sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Senior, it's lunchtime now, can you please stop arguing?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally had to give Kijima Yuta face, and quickly quieted down. Eriri, seeing that she had been tamed, naturally looked at her triumphantly.

She had no idea how badly she would be bullied if Yuta Kijima hadn't been there to ease the tension.

……

"I'm starting. X3"

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up a piece of salt and pepper chicken wing, took a small bite and swallowed it. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Kijima Yuta and said, "Junior, how about I move in with you?"

"?"

Kijima Yuta gave her a strange look. "I don't remember adding any strange ingredients. Why would you say such nonsense, senior?"

"Living together!"

Eriri's eyes widened, and images of the artist's explicit content automatically flashed through her mind. Her lips moved slightly, and she stammered. Although she had drawn quite a few works, she was someone with abundant theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience.

Hearing such suggestive conversations, I was instantly paralyzed.

"Senior, are you still asleep?" Yuta Kijima teased.

“I’m serious about what I’m saying.” Kasumigaoka Utaha licked her cherry lips with her little tongue and said slowly and deliberately, “Speaking of which, I haven’t been able to concentrate on writing at home lately. After all, it does have some impact when my parents are writing late at night. Actually, I’ve been thinking about moving out and living alone for a while now.”

She took another sip of the fragrant miso soup, savored it carefully, and nodded to herself, "Junior, you happen to have a guest room that's empty. Instead of wasting it, why don't I move in too? I'll pay for the food and room..."

Yuta Kijima's forehead creased with black lines. So, your final food expenses are the key to the whole sentence, aren't they?

He opened his mouth, about to refuse, when Eriri interrupted him sharply.

"Kasumigaoka Shiu!"

"How could you be so shameless? You actually want to live with Yuta!"

Eriri raised her eyebrows, thinking that she must condemn this evil trend and not let the wicked Kasumigaoka Utaha's conspiracy succeed. This was what she should do as Yuta's friend.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not answer her directly, clearly ignoring her question.

This made Eriri even more annoyed, and just as she was about to intensify her condemnation, Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke up.

She clicked her tongue and said, "Sawamura-kun? Aren't you being a little too nosy? Do you expect me to take care of your junior's every need from now on?"

"You're the one who's really something! Yuta is doing just fine on his own, yet you want to come and force him to become your servant!"

Eriri flashed her little fangs and retorted sharply.

"Is there something wrong with what I said? Anyway, the guest room at my junior's house is vacant, and we're both light novel authors, so we can discuss our works. I'll also pay the fees. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Or perhaps..." Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is Flat-faced girl thinking of something strange again?"

"I knew you COMIC creators had nothing but pornographic garbage in your heads."

“A gloomy woman!” Eriri said, biting her canine tooth.

"and many more!"

Yuta Kijima quickly stopped the argument between the two. No matter what, he couldn't possibly share a place with someone else. The guest room was for emergencies, and he didn't need someone else sharing the rent with him at home right now.

He looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was almost a Nascent Soul cultivator, and said decisively, "Senior, you should find another place. I don't have any plans to share an apartment with anyone right now. If you just think my cooking is good, you're welcome to come here anytime."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted, disappointed in this clueless junior.

Yuta Kijima glanced at her speechlessly, completely helpless against this senior who always said something outrageous. He then turned to look at Eriri.

Poor Eriri was no match for her senior. After just a few rounds, she was already like a frightened kitten with her fur standing on end, her golden twin tails trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm saying, do you two have some kind of repulsive device on you? How come you're arguing after only being together for a short while?"

"It's all because this fat woman in black stockings likes to say things that make people angry!"

Eriri gritted her teeth and said, "Yuta, you can't let this woman move into your house, or you'll be in endless trouble!"

Kijima Yuta: "..."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha heard her say that, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Just as she was about to make a sarcastic remark, she saw Kijima Yuta staring at her, opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

"You should all keep your mouth shut, or we won't be able to finish this meal. You should all pay more attention to your image. You are two well-known figures in Toyonosaki, yet you like to argue so much in private."

Yuta Kijima said helplessly, thinking that next time, if there was no one else around, he definitely wouldn't let these two get together.

Chapter 174 Nakano Yotsuba

Monday morning.

Yuta Kijima arrived at school with heavy steps, probably because he was too tired from dealing with Eriri and Utaha Kasumigaoka yesterday. I wonder what the students of Toyonosaki would think if they knew that the two school beauties were like this in private.

It wasn't until just before class was about to start that Aki Tomoya rushed to his seat and sat down.

Yuta Kijima looked at him curiously and asked, "Rinya, you were just kept after school for extra lessons on the weekend because your grades weren't good enough, so how come you still come to class right on time every day?"

If things continue like this, then you can forget about passing the next exam.

To everyone's surprise, Aki Tomoya suddenly turned around, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, and said excitedly, "Two days! Yuta, do you know how I've been these past two days!?"

"I gave up my part-time job, I gave up club activities, and I even gave up the latest anime and games! Only then was I finally free from the training program!"

After hearing this, Yuta Kijima smirked and retorted, "So you stayed up all night watching anime again and that's why you woke up late?"

Aki Tomoya, caught off guard, paused for a moment, scratched his head, and grinned, "There's nothing I can do about it, Yuta. I can't sleep peacefully just thinking about how the new anime is so blatantly displayed."

Yuta Kijima gave him a speechless look. It has to be you, Tomoya…

At this moment, their homeroom teacher also entered the classroom; the first period on Monday was the homeroom teacher's class.

After the slightly balding homeroom teacher entered, he first glanced at Yuta Kijima, who was sitting at the back of the class, and then smiled gently and said, "First of all, let's congratulate our classmate Kijima on successfully winning first place in the grade this time!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause immediately followed.

They had all witnessed the changes in Yuta Kijima over this period of time, so they were not too shocked by it.

“However… I’ve noticed that there are still many students in our class who are stuck in the same place, for example…” He paused for a moment, then looked at Yuta Kijima, but this time the object of his gaze was not him, but Tomoya Aki, who was in front of him.

"Aki-san?"

"Here!" Aki Tomoya was startled and stood up shakily with his head down.

The homeroom teacher tapped her fingers lightly on the podium, a troubled look on her face: "You're the only one from our class who joined the school's training program this time. You and Kijima are usually friends, and you even sit together..."
