Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

I really didn't expect that a teenager could make this kind of food.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita staring blankly at the food, Yuta Kijima put down his chopsticks.

"Um... Yukinoshita-kun, would you like some? It tastes pretty good."

"No need for that. Let's talk about why you called me over. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yukino Yukinoshita decisively refused, crossed her arms, and looked calmly at Yuta Kijima opposite her.

Based on my observation over this long period, Kijima Yuta is not the kind of person who would ask her for favors. Since he has stopped her now, there must be something he can't handle on his own.

That just so happens that she's the kind of person who enjoys challenging things.

Kijima Yuta felt there was no need to hide anything from the icy beauty of Soubu High School in front of him, so he immediately recounted the whole story.

He wasn't worried that Yukino Yukinoshita would tell on him once she knew the truth. Besides, it was obvious at a glance that she wasn't that kind of person, and she didn't know Shoko and her family...

After hearing the whole story, Yukino Yukinoshita stared at the boy in front of her with a strange look. Is there really someone willing to do so much just to help a girl with hearing impairment?

There really was one; there was one right in front of her. Thinking back to when he agreed to let her foster the cat, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly felt normal again.

Those who like Mr. Pan are not bad people!

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze softened unconsciously as she looked at this boy, and her tone became gentler as she said, "So, what Kijima-kun is struggling with now is how to get that girl's mother to accept your kindness?"

Yuta Kijima nodded dejectedly, his chopsticks unconsciously poking at the inside of his bowl.

Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled up slightly. She propped her chin up with her hand on the table and said softly, "I do have a very simple solution..."

"Really!" Yuta Kijima looked up excitedly. Sure enough, there is strength in numbers. Yukino Yukinoshita found a solution to the problem that had been bothering him for so long in an instant.

“Of course.” Yukino Yukinoshita proudly raised her chin. “I’ve had my family set up a foundation specifically to help girls with hearing impairments. Your friend will be our first beneficiary. What do you think, Kijima?”

"However, you'll have to ask me for this favor. I'll consider it payment for you helping me take care of Mr. Pan, okay?"

Kijima Yuta: "..."

He was stunned by what he heard and stood there at the table. But upon reflection, he realized that the method was indeed flawless. Although the approach was extremely bold, the result was undeniable.

As payment for taking care of the panda, wow, Yukinoshita, are you really some kind of rich heiress?!

It turns out that as long as someone has done you a favor, you can become a dream-fulfilling master.

However, this method is a bit too conspicuous, and it would require the help of Yukino Yukinoshita's family. He knows that Yukino Yukinoshita's family situation is not very harmonious.

Then he looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and asked sincerely, "This method sounds feasible, but it would take a long time to implement, and I don't want to trouble Yukinoshita too much. Do you have any other methods?"

"Well……"

Yukino Yukinoshita was immediately stunned. This...

If you don't use such a good method, how am I supposed to come up with other methods in a short time? I can't expect you to seduce people, can I?

Once it's done, everything will be resolved.

Thinking of Yukino Yukinoshita, her gaze drifted elsewhere, not daring to look at Yuta Kijima.

Chapter 192 Life's Dilemmas

"You asked me to come up with a solution for you, but now you think my method is no good?" Yukino Yukinoshita gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said calmly.

"Uh... I think this is a bit too much trouble for your family."

"whispering sound."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head away, leaving only a delicate profile for Yuta Kijima: "Anyway, I think this is the simplest way, and it's also a way of repaying you for taking care of Mr. Pan for me."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

"No matter what, I still want to find a simpler method... Yukinoshita's method is also good, but let's keep that as a last resort."

"Whatever you want." With that, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up, her cool eyes meeting his. After a moment, she looked away and replied.

"If you can't find any other way, remember to let me know."

"I will try my best to find a better solution."

Although Yukino Yukinoshita's expression and tone seemed unsatisfactory, she was still willing to help Yuta Kijima. She felt it was necessary to help, both in terms of the nature and significance of the matter.

At the same time, she decided to wait until Yuta Kijima finally couldn't find a better way and then knocked on her door in despair.

Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita smiled faintly and said slowly, "Alright, but Kijima-kun, you should still make your choice. After all, that girl's treatment should be starting soon."

“Yes, I understand.” Yuta Kijima said, looking at her earnestly.

If it really comes down to the last resort, he's not the kind of person who's stubborn and inflexible...

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and left.

Only Yuta Kijima, deep in thought at the dining table, and Panda, ravenously eating in the living room, were left behind.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after a quick wash and filling Panda's bowl with cat food, Kijima Yuta grabbed a bag of bread and headed out, his mind still racing with how to persuade Nishimiya Yaeko.

When they arrived at the classroom, there weren't many people there yet. Wearing a school uniform and sporting a neat short haircut, Yotsuba Nakano peeked out from behind Yuta Kijima, who was resting his chin on his hand in a daze, and her pretty face was full of energy.

"Kishima-san, you're here so early!"

"Nakano-kun, you're here pretty early too."

Yuta Kijima greeted him politely with a smile.

After spending a week together, he developed a fondness for the lively and cheerful girl in front of him. After all, who would dislike a beautiful girl who loves to laugh?

"Hey? Kijima-san, how many times have I told you? Just call me Yotsuba. Otherwise, when my sisters are together, I won't be able to tell who you're calling!" Nakano Yotsuba puffed out her cheeks, looking like an angry little squirrel.

"Okay, then Yotsuba can call me Yuta from now on..."

After thinking about it, it seems to make sense. After all, the school has five clones, so addressing them only by their surnames is acceptable in the classroom...

Since Yotsuba Nakano still insists on this request, Yuta Kijima readily accepts it.

Nakano Yotsuba nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, then returned to her seat.

"..."

After attending two more classes, Yuta Kijima still seemed distracted. Fortunately, given his current grades, as long as he didn't disrupt the class, the teachers usually wouldn't target him.

When class ended, Yuta Kijima propped his head up and looked at the clear blue sky outside, pondering all sorts of possibilities. Just as his thoughts were wandering, he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him. He turned his head and saw Yotsuba Nakano looking at him curiously.

Yuta Kijima asked, "What's wrong, Yotsuba? Is there something you want to ask?"

Yotsuba Nakano sat back in her seat, looking at him curiously, and shook her head, saying, "No, I just noticed that you seem a bit strange today, Yuta. Is something wrong?"

"?"

Yuta Kijima looked at Yotsuba Nakano, wondering if his condition was so easily discernible.

But he really hasn't come up with a good solution yet, and if he still can't find one when he's treating the glass, then things will be even more difficult.

"There is something I can't handle." Kijima Yuta's gaze shifted, and he suddenly stared straight at Nakano Yotsuba in front of him. He thought that Yotsuba might be able to do something that he couldn't think of.

Last night, Yukino Yukinoshita gave herself a seemingly feasible method: if three cobblers are as good as one Zhuge Liang, then there are only two of them now.

Maybe the person in front of us is the third one!

"Eh!"

Nakano Yotsuba paused for a moment, then quickly covered her chest with her hands, looking at Kijima Yuta warily. She was startled by Kijima Yuta's sudden gaze.

"Ahem." Seeing her like this, Kijima Yuta's lips twitched slightly, then he said calmly, "I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I wonder if you can help me?"

“(each one) staring—”

The green ribbon on Nakano Yotsuba's head swayed like rabbit ears. After thinking for a moment, she lowered her guard a little and asked curiously, "Is this life advice from anime?"

Upon hearing this strange explanation, a row of black lines appeared on Yuta Kijima's forehead.

What kind of weird anime does this kid usually watch?

“If that’s what Yotsuba says, then there’s actually no problem with it,” he said with a strange expression.

Nakano Yotsuba's large, ocean-blue eyes blinked, revealing a look of joy. "Really! Yuta, have you encountered some kind of problem in your life?"

"There is a little bit..." Yuta Kijima said helplessly, now wondering if asking Yotsuba Nakano was the right decision.

Just then, the teacher of the third class walked into the classroom. Upon seeing this, Yuta Kijima said, "Let's talk about it after this class is over."

"Oh..." Nakano Yotsuba's excited face immediately became listless at a visible speed. Why would she have to attend class at such a crucial time?

What bad luck! But what kind of problems could possibly trouble a top student like Yuta?

If I could take this opportunity to bring him into my home as a tutor, then May and the others would be idolizing me.

And so, during class, Yotsuba Nakano became absent-minded again, just like Yuta Kijima had been in the previous two classes; her mind had already wandered off to after class...

Finally, get out of class ended. Seeing the teacher put away the textbooks, she immediately turned to look at Yuta Kijima and asked in a low, curious voice, "get out of class is over, Yuta, can you tell me your life's problem now?"

Chapter 193 The Third Cobbler

Seriously, do you have to get so worked up?

Yuta Kijima looked at Yotsuba Nakano with great suspicion.

Looking at the excited girl, Kijima Yuta could only accept his impulsive decision. He leaned closer to Nakano Yotsuba, who was leaning on his desk, and whispered, "A friend of mine is sick, but her family is having some financial difficulties. I wanted to help her, but she wouldn't accept..."

He didn't go into the details about Shoko like he had with Yukino Yukinoshita. Instead, he briefly explained the cause and effect, and then looked at Yotsuba Nakano with a hint of expectation, hoping she would give him a surprise.

"Yoshka, can you think of a more suitable method?"

"Huh? That's it?"

"??"

Upon hearing this, Kijima Yuta looked at Nakano Yotsuba in surprise.

"Did Yotsuba come up with a brilliant idea so quickly?"

It seems I still haven't changed my habit of judging people by their personality. I never imagined that the method I'd pondered for so long would be so simple not only in Yukino Yukinoshita's words, but also in Yotsuba Nakano's...

At this moment, even Yuta Kijima began to doubt his own intelligence. Had it been declining without him realizing it?

Nakano Yotsuba pouted dejectedly and replied listlessly, "It really is a very simple thing..."

Sigh~ I thought I'd find out what he was hiding, and if he had, I could seize this opportunity to have him tutor us.

I never expected it to be such a simple matter. Why should she care about other people's business?
