Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"Sorry! Sorry!"

Nakano Yotsuba quickly stood up and apologized.

"It's okay, but Yotsuba, you don't need to apologize to me, do you?"

Yuta Kijima asked with some curiosity.

He didn't see anything wrong with Yotsuba's suggestion that morning; after all, nothing in this world comes without effort. It was only right to pay a small price to get help from Yotsuba's family.

“Ah, this…” Nakano Yotsuba clasped her hands together, apologized again, and then explained, “I think it’s only right for friends to help each other, and we can’t use any demands to blackmail Yuta.”

She patted her chest and continued, "Yuta, if your friend is willing to come to my family's hospital for treatment, I promise I will take good care of her!"

Hearing such sincere words, Kijima Yuta was momentarily stunned, because the two had only known each other for a week at most, and he did not expect Nakano Yotsuba to be so good to her friend.

Yuta Kijima said with a gentle smile, "Actually, I do need Yotsuba's help. I was just thinking of discussing it with you, but I didn't expect you to call me out before I could."

"That's it..."

Yotsuba Nakano breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that the conversation that morning would annoy Yuta Kijima, but thankfully he didn't seem to care.

But then she suddenly realized that Yuta Kijima wanted to talk to her about asking for help at noon.

This, this, this!

Doesn't this mean she can reasonably make her demands?!

But... she just seemed to have mentioned something about the bonds of friendship...

Yotsuba Nakano furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and asked casually, "So, the matter Yuta wants to discuss is deciding to transfer your friend to my hospital?"

Yuta Kijima nodded seriously: "That's right, I've thought about it. After all, treatment at your hospital is more reliable, and my friend's condition can't be delayed any longer."

"Don't worry, as long as you discuss it with your friend, you can arrange the transfer to another hospital today. I will also make sure that Dad takes good care of your friend!"

Now that things have come to this, Yotsuba Nakano can only swallow her pride and let Yuta owe her a favor first.

"Yeah, I'll go see my friend after school today." Then he looked at Nakano Yotsuba and asked, "By the way, Yotsuba, what's one request you want me to grant you?"

Although he was touched by Yotsuba's act of kindness, he wasn't the type to take advantage of others. Friends weren't meant to be taken advantage of. As long as Yotsuba and the others' requests weren't too unreasonable, he could accept them.

"Uh... this... we're friends, it's too formal to say this..." Nakano Yotsuba smiled awkwardly, touched her nose to cover her embarrassment, and said, "Yuta, you don't need to worry about this."

“Since Yotsuba said we’re friends and can help each other, you should tell me. Maybe I have a way to help you,” Kijima Yuta said matter-of-factly.

Kijima Yuta was quite curious about the request Yotsuba made, because from her speech and behavior, he could tell that her request was clearly unrelated to money.

That's why he hesitated to agree; if money couldn't solve the problem, it would definitely be very troublesome.

But since Yotsuba is being so loyal, he has to find out the truth. If it's something within his power, he will do his best. If it's too outrageous, he can only keep this kindness in his heart and repay it when he has the chance in the future.

"This request..." Upon hearing what Yuta Kijima had just said, Yotsuba Nakano's face immediately lit up with excitement.

She knew Yuta wouldn't be as shameless as the people on the Toyosaki forum said, and he genuinely considered her a friend...

"Don't worry, I'll help Yotsuba with anything I can," Kijima Yuta said with a smile. But when he noticed Yotsuba's hesitant expression, he put a stop to himself: "However, if Yotsuba's request is too strange, then I can't help you."

"No! No!" Nakano Yotsuba hurriedly waved her hands, her eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings as she said, "Let's find somewhere where no one is around to talk, here..."

She pointed slightly with her little hand toward the classroom door...

Yuta Kijima nodded.

……

So he followed Yotsuba Nakano to the flower bed below the teaching building and sat down.

"Yes, there's no one here now. Yotsuba, you can tell me your request without worry."

Yuta Kijima nodded, then looked at Yotsuba Nakano and said, "Yotsuba, don't say anything outrageous."

"I already said no!"

Nakano Yotsuba blushed slightly as she looked at Kijima Yuta, then glanced around at the surroundings. Seeing no one else was around, she whispered, "Yuta, do you know why the five of us sisters only transferred to Toyonosaki midway through this semester...?"

"?"

Kijima Yuta was a little puzzled by Yotsuba's question. Was there some embarrassing reason for transferring schools? Logically speaking, for someone from a wealthy family like her, transferring schools whenever things didn't go her way shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Yotsuba noticed his gaze, turned her head slightly, and said shyly, "Actually... we transferred schools because of our grades..."

"Huh?" Yuta Kijima was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Your grades?"

"Yes."

Yotsuba Nakano was not surprised by his reaction. In fact, most people would not transfer schools because of their grades.

Moreover, especially for people like the five sisters who appear glamorous on the surface, how could they say they don't care about their grades? If others knew that the five of them had terrible grades in every subject, how could they hold their heads high in Toyonosaki?

Nakano Yotsuba continued shyly, "Actually, the first school we attended was an all-girls academy, but we left because of our grades and other reasons..."

As for the reason, she didn't know how to explain it. You see, in a school with a lot of girls, the gossip and rumors are something most people can't handle...

Chapter 199 Four Leaves Suffers, But Remains Silent

After listening, Yuta Kijima remained silent, as he couldn't imagine what kind of outrageous grades would lead to a transfer.

Now, thinking back to her interactions with Nakano Satsuki at the school festival and Nakano Yotsuba, with whom she briefly sat next to last week, it seems that their conversations did indeed revolve around academics.

The topic of food in Nakano Satsuki was unexpected.

However, if the students of Toyonosaki were to reach the point where the quintuplets' grades were ridiculously bad, their days at school would probably not be so easy.

No matter where you are, good looks are a big advantage, but ability is also an indispensable part. Fortunately, Yotsuba and her family are well-off, otherwise, beauty alone would be a real problem.

Nakano Yotsuba watched Kijima Yuta's expression with concern, afraid he would say something like, "So your grades are this bad? How can students like you have the nerve to stay with us?"

Although such words were considered good at their original school, she was still worried that Yuta Kijima, who had just formed a friendship with her, would say such things.

Yotsuba Nakano felt a little relieved after secretly glancing at Yuta Kijima and finding that he didn't seem to be acting strangely.

"So, Yotsuba, what you want me to agree to is...?"

Now that things have come to this point, he understands what Nakano Yotsuba wants to say, and if there are no surprises, it's about her studies.

"Um... I just wanted to ask Yuta if you could tutor us sisters a little," Nakano Yotsuba said, a little embarrassed. "Of course, if Yuta thinks this request is outrageous, it's not mandatory. I'll definitely do my best to help you if I can!"

She had listened carefully to what Yuta Kijima had said. It's normal for friends to help each other, but there's no need to take advantage of someone's kindness.

"Oh, I see. Then there's really no problem."

Yuta Kijima's eyes flickered, and he replied gently.

This wasn't something he couldn't agree to, but it was her first time tutoring others, and tutoring five at once was quite a challenge.

He gently stroked his chin and asked, "Yotsuba, why are you so comfortable letting me tutor you?"

"Of course it's because you're number one in the grade!"

"Besides, May already told us about you tutoring Kato, who's in May's class..."

"Nakano Yotsuba said seriously."

"..."

It turns out that Yotsuba and the others had figured out everything, which has now put Yuta Kijima in a rather awkward position.

He awkwardly rubbed his nose. "Hui and I are basically having a study session, but if you guys think it's okay, we can give it a try first..."

Nakano Yotsuba nodded excitedly and said, "Of course, no problem. I believe you can do it, Yuta."

"Don't worry, Yotsuba. Since I promised to tutor you, I will do my best to improve your grades." Kijima Yuta looked at her and said sincerely, "But first, I need to see each of your individual situations."

"No problem! No problem! Of course!"

After listening to what Yuta Kijima said, Yotsuba Nakano was very happy and no longer felt reserved.

"Then I'll go with you, Yuta, after school this afternoon!"

"Ah."

Kijima smiled and said, "Let's go together then. I will definitely need your help, and you can also check on your studies along the way to help me make a study plan."

Yotsuba Nakano was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a stiff smile, feeling as if she had ruined her wonderful life.

……

After everything was taken care of, the two returned to the classroom.

Upon entering, the noisy classroom fell silent, and all eyes turned to the two of them.

In the end, it was Nishino Chiyo, who had gotten to know Nakano Yotsuba better during the school festival, who stepped forward despite the pressure and cautiously pulled Nakano Yotsuba aside to whisper to her.

Yuta Kijima looked speechless, shook his head, and returned to his seat.

Before he could even settle into his seat, Aki Tomo rushed up to him and said angrily, "Yuta, you actually became a 'normie' like this?!"

The surrounding students immediately perked up their ears and unconsciously moved closer.

Aki Tomoya's words made a vein pop out on Kijima Yuta's forehead.

"Where did you see me become a 'normie'?"

Yuta Kijima sighed. Things were still a couple of steps away from getting to Megumi, and now you're bringing up the topic of "normies" (people with great social connections). Isn't that just adding to his frustration?

"Everyone saw Nakano confess to you just now." Aki Tomoya adjusted his glasses, then, as if remembering something, leaned closer to Kijima Yuta and whispered, "Did you reject Nakano because of Kato?"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "Speaking of which, why are you being treated like a male protagonist in a visual novel, surrounded by cute girls!"

Yuta Kijima rubbed his forehead, looking exasperated, and explained, "That wasn't it at all, it was just your wild guesses..."

At that moment, an exclamation rang out from the other end of the classroom: "How could this be? How could I confess to Yuta?"

"Don't make wild guesses, okay? There's nothing to it!"

Standing next to Yuta Kijima, Tomoya Aki saw this and couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled, "Yuta, didn't you reject him too harshly just now?"

Kijima Yuta: "..."

On the other side, Nishino Chiyo felt a little embarrassed when she saw Nakano Yotsuba shouting so loudly, so she quickly covered her mouth and waited until she calmed down.

Still unconvinced, she asked, "Then what did you want with Kijima-san just now? And in just one week you've already started calling him by name."

After considering all these reasons, she was convinced that Nakano Yotsuba, who had only been there for a week, was completely infatuated with Kijima Yuta.

There's no other reason; it's simply that everyone has witnessed how Kijima Yuta has become so outstanding, and no one could possibly refuse someone like him!

As for the reason why Yotsuba Nakano vehemently refuted him, it must be because he was rejected by Yuta Kijima and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
