Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Yuta Kijima greeted her with sign language, and then gave up his spot next to Shoko's bed to Haimeng and the others.

He stopped at Grandma Shoko's bedside and asked Yuzuru, who was sitting beside him, "Where is Aunt Nishimiya, Yuzuru?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzuru's initial joy at seeing so many people quickly faded, and she said dejectedly, "My mother said she'll probably be working overtime at the hospital most of the time from now on, and won't be able to come here until very, very late..."

The camera, which I had just found fun, suddenly became boring, and I kept rubbing my fingers on it.

Yuta Kijima fell silent, glanced at Grandma Shoko who was still managing a smile on the hospital bed, and looked at Yuzuru, saying, "Yuzuru, could you make a call and ask Aunt Nishimiya to come over? I might have some things to discuss with her."

Yuzuru Nishimiya glanced curiously at Yuta Kijima: "?"

Yuta Kijima smiled and said, "It's alright, let me tell Auntie after you get through."

Seeing this, Yuzuru nodded, took out his phone from his small bag, and started making a call.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yuta Kijima asked Grandma Shoko, "Grandma, how are you feeling today?"

"It's alright." Grandma Shoko smiled and shook her head, her eyes fixed on the boy, a hint of bitterness in her heart. If she could, she really wouldn't want to become a burden to her family.

"The doctor who came yesterday was very kind to us; he even specially arranged for Shoko's bed to be here," she said, recounting the events that had occurred recently.

Kijima Yuta was surprised. Could it be that what the doctor, who was so young he seemed to be acting a little too young, was actually true? Was he really willing to go to such lengths to help the Nishimiya family?

At that moment, Yuzuru's call had also gone through, and she held up her phone, looking at Yuta Kijima with a bitter expression.

It was clear that her communication was not going smoothly.

Yuta Kijima nodded to Shoko's grandmother, then took Yuzuru's phone and left the hospital room.

"Hello, is this Aunt Nishimiya? This is Yuta Kijima."

"Yuta, is something wrong? Why do you suddenly want me to go to the hospital?" A tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Aunt Nishimiya, I've found a pretty good hospital and I'd like to discuss it with you. It's a hospital owned by a friend of mine, and the treatment costs there would be much lower. Plus, they'd do their best to help Shoko. So, I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer her there...?"

Yuta Kijima finished explaining everything in one breath, and then waited anxiously for Yaeko Nishimiya's reply.

After all, this is no small matter; most importantly, we need to get Shoko's mother's permission.

Sure enough, the person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long while before asking in a puzzled tone.

"Yuta, is that the hospital your friend is staying at? Which one is it? I also work at a hospital, so I'm quite familiar with the hospitals around here. I think the hospital Shoko is staying at now is pretty good, and the doctor there is very caring towards us..." Nishimiya Yaeko said earnestly. It wasn't that she doubted Kijima Yuta's good intentions, but she still needed to find out the truth about this whole ordeal.

Kijima Yuta choked...

Damn, it seems he completely forgot to ask which hospital Yotsuba's family works at.

How could I forget to ask such a crucial question?

He scratched his cheek, unsure how to tell Shoko's mother about it.

Just as he was holding his phone in frustration, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

Yuta Kijima turned around and saw Yotsuba Nakano arriving just in time. Overjoyed, he asked, "Yotsuba, where's your family's hospital? I forgot to ask..."

"Huh?" Nakano Yotsuba paused, the pretty ribbon on her head freezing for a moment, then scratched the back of her head and said sheepishly, "It's this hospital..."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

Chapter 202 Chemical Reaction

Having said that, Kijima Yuta finally understood why Nakano Yotsuba had left earlier.

It turns out they ran back to their own backyard. I never expected that the hospital where Yuzuru and the others first had their medical check-ups was the one owned by Yotsuba Nakano.

At that moment, Yuta Kijima suddenly thought of the attending physician in charge of Shoko's grandmother—Maruo Nakano.

"So Dr. Nakano is yours?" Yuta Kijima asked uncertainly.

As for why he hasn't made a decision yet, it's because when he first met Nakano Maruo, he was so young. He looked to be in his early thirties at most, which surprised him enough that he was already an attending physician.

He never imagined that he would be the director of this hospital.

Yotsuba Nakano nodded proudly: "That's right, my dad is the director of this hospital."

Meanwhile, Nakano Maruo, who had been left behind by Nakano Yotsuba, arrived late. Seeing Kijima Yuta and his daughter staring at each other, he immediately stepped forward to separate the two and extended his right hand to Kijima Yuta.

"Looks like I need to introduce myself again, Kijima-kun."

"I am currently the director of this hospital, and also the father of Yotsuba and the others—Nakano Maruo. Please take care of me," he said slowly and deliberately.

However, this time, Yuta Kijima felt a chill creep down his spine from the words he heard.

Yuta Kijima reached out and shook hands with him, just as he was about to tell how he met Yotsuba Nakano, when Maruo Nakano interrupted him.

"Yotsuba already gave me a general overview on the way here, Kijima-kun."

"I never expected that we would have such a connection," Nakano Maruo said with a gentle smile.

To be honest, at first he felt that Yuta Kijima was a lot like him when he was young, so he thought he would help him if he could.

Little did he know that he would hear news about this kid again from his own daughter.

This time, his wariness of the kid rose to the highest level.

When he received Yotsuba's call, he was wondering who had approached her daughter. It wasn't until he learned that she had a hearing impairment that he turned his attention to Yuta Kijima.

The facts are already laid bare, and Yuta Kijima has no choice but to accept them, whether he likes it or not.

He brought the phone back to his ear, "Aunt Nishimiya...you really should come..."

Nishimiya Yaeko: "??"

Upon seeing this, Nakano Maruo said to Kijima Yuta, "Let me explain to Ms. Nishimiya. You take Yotsuba inside first, and I'll go in right away."

Yuta Kijima thought for a moment and nodded, then said into the phone, "Aunt Nishimiya, there's a misunderstanding here. Let Dr. Nakano explain it to you..." He then handed the phone to Maruo Nakano.

Yaeko Nishimiya had no idea what had happened from beginning to end, and was still bewildered by Yuta Kijima's sudden mention of Dr. Nakano. "Huh?"

Then another familiar voice came through the phone, which calmed her down. "Hello, Ms. Nishimiya? This is Nakano Maruo. It's like this..."

……

Nakano Maruo walked to the side with his phone.

Yuta Kijima looked at Yotsuba Nakano with a wry smile: "Yotsuba, I never expected things to turn out so dramatically."

"Hehe." Nakano Yotsuba playfully stuck out her tongue. "I didn't know at first that Yuta's friend's hospital was my dad's hospital. I only realized it when I walked to the hospital entrance with you."

"Hmm...it is indeed my problem."

Yuta Kijima sighed.

He had a fairly clear conversation with Yukino Yukinoshita last night, but he talked to Yotsuba Nakano after class today. He wanted to keep it brief, so he didn't reveal any specific details.

Moreover, he hadn't even asked Nishimiya Yaeko about her wishes regarding the transfer to another hospital, which led to this misunderstanding.

Surprisingly, the oblivious Yotsuba Nakano didn't ask him anything either.

“Come on, I’ll take you inside to see my friend.”

Feeling increasingly awkward, Kijima Yuta decided to first introduce Nakano Yotsuba to Nishimiya Shoko.

"Mmm!" Nakano Yotsuba nodded excitedly. She had long wanted to meet this friend whom Kijima Yuta had gone to so much trouble to help.

Furthermore, she also carried the heavy responsibility entrusted to her by her other sisters.

That is to thoroughly understand Yuta Kijima's character.

Even though he's said so many times that Yuta isn't a bad person...

……

Upon entering the ward, it was clearly a different place from when he had entered earlier.

The atmosphere in the room is very harmonious now.

Kitagawa Kaimu was chatting with Nishimiya Shoko on her phone while sitting quietly by Shoko's grandmother's bedside, listening to her talk.

Only Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, for some unknown reason, were standing facing each other in a corner of the hospital room.

Eriri was so angry that her fangs were showing, while Utaha-senpai just stood there calmly with her arms crossed, watching her.

Nishimiya Yuzuru watched the two of them with a worried expression.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima knew that the chemical substances between the two must have reacted again.

He hurriedly stepped forward and stood between the two, forcibly separating them. Then he looked at Nishimiya Yuzuru, who had been standing to the side, and asked, "What happened between these two?"

Upon hearing Yuta Kijima's question, Yuzuru Nishimiya opened her mouth slightly, her gaze sweeping over Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri before she stammered, "Senpai...she...they..."

At that moment, Eriri leaned close to his ear and whispered, "That gloomy woman just stopped us from helping Shoko!"

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima was visibly taken aback.

What did you two talk about this time? How did it get to this topic?

To be honest, he didn't call on everyone to help Shoko; he just wanted to cheer her up. He had already started preparing for everything else.

Unexpectedly, Eriri, who usually doesn't pay attention to details, immediately thought of helping Shoko and the others at this moment.

For a moment, Yuta Kijima was caught off guard.

Eriri, seeing that he didn't speak, assumed that he also approved of Kasumigaoka Utaha's evil deeds, so she tilted her head slightly and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with arrogance.

"Eri, come here first..."

Yuta Kijima was not lost in thought for long; he quickly deduced the cause and effect of the matter.

It's likely that Eriri learned about Shoko's family situation after talking to her earlier, and wanted to help her. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly knew about her relationship with Yuzuru and realized that she had already resolved everything.

The outspoken Eriri advised him not to get involved, fearing it might disrupt his plans...

Chapter 203 Unable to continue the conversation with Eri Kashiwagi

Eriri found it a bit strange. Couldn't she just refute this gloomy woman to her face? Why did she have to pull her aside?

This dark woman's thoughts are clearly so wicked.

Actually, the whole situation was exactly the same as what Kijima Yuta had in mind, but Eriri wanted to help Shoko partly because she had heard about Nakano Yotsuba's selfless help to Yuta.

Also, she felt a little sorry for Shoko when she saw her negative emotions.

But just as she was about to speak, Kasumigaoka Utaha pulled her aside and said something like, "Don't cause trouble."

This made her so angry she wanted to bite this heartless, scheming woman to death.

Nakano Yotsuba also wanted to come and join in the fun, but Kijima Yuta immediately sent her to the vicinity of the glass bed. With Umimu there to liven things up, he felt at ease.
