Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"So what exactly is the method?" Yuta Kijima asked, puzzled.

"Hmm... I just need to take her to my local hospital." Nakano Yotsuba turned her head to the window and looked out at the scenery, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"what?"

Yuta Kijima had a look on his face that said, "Are you even speaking human language?"

I was wondering how you came up with a solution even faster than the Dream Master Yukino Yukinoshita. Turns out you're just as capable as the Dream Master!

Even though he heard such an outrageous method spoken so casually by Yotsuba Nakano, he couldn't help but facepalm after thinking about it carefully.

Why are you all so arrogant? How can we still be friends?!

Speechless, Yuta Kijima whispered, "Yotsuba, you're taking this way way too seriously. You know, not everyone's family is like yours."

Looking at Yotsuba Nakano's naive expression, it was clear she had never personally experienced the hardships of life. But how could someone whose family owns a hospital possibly get sick? What kind of human suffering could she possibly experience...?

As expected, Nakano Yotsuba looked at Kijima Yuta in surprise upon hearing this.

"Huh? But I think my method is really good."

"My friend definitely wouldn't accept that kind of help."

"Hmm... Yuta, do you have any better ideas?"

Yuta Kijima was stunned.

Yes, but so far, both people he consulted have given him a method that seems feasible. On the other hand, he himself hasn't really come up with a good method...

Thinking about this, Yuta Kijima finally understood that the fault lay not with him, but with the world.

It wasn't that he thought Yukino Yukinoshita and Yotsuba Nakano's methods were bad, but rather that their current environments were very different, and therefore their ways of thinking were different.

Some things that seem ordinary to them are completely different when they happen to others.

Seeing that Yuta Kijima had begun to ponder, Yotsuba Nakano stared out the window, her mind blank, recalling the events of last weekend at home.

……

Sunday evening, a luxurious and cozy two-story apartment.

Five beautiful young women, each with striking looks, sat around the soft sofa in the living room, each doing their own thing.

"I'm telling you, shouldn't you start working on the homework assigned this weekend?"

May looked at the other four idlers with a look of exasperation. Her homework for the weekend was laid out in front of her. She had gathered everyone in the living room based on the principle that many hands make light work, but they all started doing their own thing as soon as they started.

At least one person should complete the homework for one subject!

Ichika, with short pink hair, was sitting on the edge of the sofa, hugging one leg and resting her chin on her knee, carefully applying nail polish to her toenails with her right hand.

Nino, with a black butterfly headband tied in her hair, was engrossed in reading a cookbook that had nothing to do with studying.

Nakano Satsuki looked at the two of them helplessly, and then she looked at Miku, who was squatting on the sofa wearing headphones and playing games, and Yotsuba, who was joining in the fun.

Seeing that the group remained motionless, she slammed the workbook she was holding onto the coffee table. "I'm telling you guys!"

"Aren't you afraid that you'll have to transfer schools again because of your grades so soon after transferring to Toyonosaki!?"

!!!

Yotsuba, who had been joining in the fun next to Miku, immediately looked dejected. She sullenly left Miku's side, slowly moved to the coffee table, picked up her workbook and started looking at it. After only a few focused glances, her eyes started darting around.

There's no way around it. The main reason she dropped out of her previous school was because of her. The other girls transferred schools to be with her, and now that May has said this, she has no choice but to force herself to keep studying.

Seeing Yotsuba's furrowed brows, Ichika couldn't help but chuckle. She then looked at Itsuki and advised, "Itsuki, we've only been in Toyonosaki for a week. There's no need to be so anxious. Besides, this is how we are. Even if you force Yotsuba to study, it won't be very effective..."

Miku and Nino, having put down their games, nodded in agreement.

As long as you don't think about studying, you won't get a headache.

"Hey!"

May's expectant expression vanished instantly, replaced by dissatisfaction in her eyes: "If we keep going like this, when will our grades ever improve!"

Nino and Miku exchanged a glance, realizing that May was about to start another day of denunciation meetings.

Although I don't like hearing such things, May's attitude of wanting what's best for everyone is not wrong.

At this moment, Ichika ruthlessly shattered May's inspiring speech, "May, you are the most willing to study among us, but unfortunately, our grades are all about the same right now..."

…May fell silent, but after a short while, she raised a test paper in her hand: “That’s because I haven’t found the right study techniques. Look at this test paper!”

"Hmm?" Upon seeing the test paper in May's hand, the other four looked over curiously, wanting to know what kind of test paper could make May suddenly recover from her dejection.

“It’s my name!” May pointed her slender finger to a corner of the exam paper.

The group stared intently...

Chapter 194 Methodology

"Kato Megumi?" Nakano Yotsuba asked, looking at a name on the exam paper.

May nodded with satisfaction. This was a test paper she had borrowed from a new friend she had just met in class. As for the reason, it was, of course, something that she and her sister cared about most.

"Oh?" Nakano Ichika returned to her previous seat, continuing to apply her nail polish, and asked casually, "What's wrong? Is this your new friend from May?"

"Of course! But that's not what I wanted to say!"

Nakano Satsuki gave her a resentful look: "The reason I took her test paper home wasn't just because of that."

She transferred into Kato Megumi's class and happened to become quite close friends with her.

While Yotsuba was still curiously flipping through the exam paper, Miku and Nino had already lost interest and returned to their own papers.

In the living room, May looked around at her group of unambitious older sisters with a sullen face.

"I'm telling you, you should at least give me some kind of response!"

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Nakano Yotsuba chimed in with perfect understanding, pointing to the grades and saying, "Her grades are pretty good, but what's there to say about that?"

Ichika Nakano frowned and advised, "May, just say what you want to say. How are we supposed to know if you keep playing cryptic games like this?"

"Hey~"

May had already given up; her group of sisters were beyond saving. If she didn't step up her game, her days in Toyonosaki wouldn't last much longer.

Her dream is to become a teacher. If she can't even guarantee her admission to a good school, what is there to consider for her future dreams?

She let out a soft breath and took the test paper back from Yotsuba's hand. "What if I told you that the owner of this test paper—Kato Megumi—was someone who was at the bottom of the class just over a month ago?"

"Ok?"

"!"

"?"

“＜(￣ ﹌ ￣)＞ ”

The living room seemed to be paused. May was very satisfied with everyone's expressions and proudly held up the test paper in her hand.

"Is this Kato Megumi really that amazing in May?"

"If it's true, then you absolutely must find out how she improved her grades so quickly in May!"

"Yeah, that way I can play games without worry from now on..."

"whispering sound……"

The group put down their work and hurriedly gathered around May, but May seemed to hear a slightly disdainful, perfunctory remark coming from Yotsuba's mouth...

She didn't pay attention to Yotsuba's unusual behavior at the moment, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face: "Hmph! Of course I only showed you this test paper because I know how Kato-san improved her grades so quickly!"

"Why didn't you take it out earlier in May?" At this moment, Ichika asked the blind spot in the matter.

"Uh..." May's smug look faltered for a moment, and she reluctantly put down the test paper in her hand: "I know the method, but it might not be suitable for us..."

She scratched the back of her head and said embarrassedly, "So I plan to wait and see for a while. If we can improve our grades in Toyonosaki on our own, then we won't need to."

"Unfortunately, I shouldn't have had too many illusions about us..."

After saying that, she glanced helplessly at everyone around her.

"Huh? What method do you have that we need to tell you in May to know if it's suitable or not? Did someone give that Kato guy a sudden enlightenment?" Nakano Nino shouted with great enthusiasm.

Miku nodded in agreement, while Yotsuba watched the performance with an expression of detachment from worldly affairs...

The foolish prisoner doesn't realize that his meager improvement is nothing compared to the legendary Kijima behind me...

Actually, she had told her friends about Kijima Yuta's impressive achievements before, but at the time, everyone agreed that since he had just transferred to the school and was a boy, they chose to take a wait-and-see approach...

It's ridiculous that they're now praising a "low-scoring kid" to the extreme...

Thinking of this, Yotsuba Nakano shook her head helplessly.

……

“Actually, it’s not much different from what you said, Nino,” Nakano Satsuki said with a serious expression.

Nino covered her mouth in shock: "Is there really such a thing as enlightenment?"

May shook her head, "It's because the top student in the grade, Yuta Kijima, is tutoring her..."

Speaking of Yuta Kijima, whom she met at the school festival, she still felt it was quite dramatic. She never expected that the top student in the grade that Yuta Kijima mentioned was actually him...

Most importantly, how could he possibly teach a student with poor grades to this extent?

So much so that in the time that followed, she would intentionally or unintentionally inquire about Yuta Kijima from Yotsuba, but unfortunately, apart from knowing that he had outstanding academic achievements, she knew nothing else.

"What?! Kijima-san is tutoring this Kato-kun?" Nakano Yotsuba looked surprised.

She knew Kijima Yuta's abilities, so she was naturally shocked to learn that he was tutoring others.

“Yes.” May remembered that Yotsuba sat in front of Kijima Yuta, and a hint of envy flashed across her face. “Yotsuba, you’ve been sitting in front of him for so long, and you didn’t know that?”

The other three understood immediately. After all, when they transferred to Toyonosaki, they had become familiar with their classmates and had all heard of Yuta Kijima's name to some extent.

They have all sorts of strange nicknames, such as "campus belle harvester," "heartless man," and "mutant campus heartthrob."

This is also why they didn't consider Yuta Kijima's learning methods; what if he was a bad guy who you could only know by his appearance but not his heart? That would be terrible.

"I've only been with Kijima for a short time, how could he possibly tell me about this..."

Nakano Yotsuba muttered to herself, but then she remembered something and immediately said to the others, "But I've already found out from Kijima-san how his grades improved so quickly!"

"Really! X4"
