Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

However, Shoko's emotions are still unstable. Although she can feel the warmth coming from above her head, she can't stop crying.

……

The atmosphere in the ward became quiet, and even the slightest breathing sound disappeared.

Yuta Kijima felt that this couldn't go on, so he gently wiped the glaze around Shih Shi's eyes with a tissue.

Nishimiya Shoko's face was still deathly pale, but her emotions had calmed down a little. Now, sensing Yuta's actions, she raised her eyes to look at the gentle boy in front of her...

…………

Yuta Kijima felt relieved when he saw that she was finally willing to look at him seriously. After wiping away the tears on her cheeks, he smiled slightly at Shoko.

"Shoko, you've really put me in a terrible situation..." Yuta Kijima said helplessly in sign language, while another head kept peeking out from the other side, increasing his pressure.

Perhaps because she had been crying for too long, the color in Shoko's cheeks slowly returned. Her long eyelashes trembled gently, and her rosy lips seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know how to pronounce it.

Nishimiya Shoko raised her head, her large, watery eyes looking at him like a little puppy after being rained on, so pitiful.

"So you still refuse to accept Shoko?"

Yuta Kijima reached out and gently stroked the top of Shoko's head.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko didn't speak, staring blankly at Yuta in front of her, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Even now, she still feels that she owes Yuta too much. Although she knows that as long as she accepts Yuta's kindness, she can live like a normal person, she still can't get over that hurdle in her heart.

“Shoko, actually I’m not helping you for free.” Kijima Yuta sighed softly. He didn’t want to put pressure on Shoko, but judging from Shoko’s mother, it was better to put some pressure on her than to give her something for free.

That way, at least they'll reluctantly accept it.

"Ok?"

Nishimiya Shoko raised her head, her eyes looking somewhat lost.

"Actually, I planned to have Shoko help me work after she recovers her health," Yuta Kijima gestured.

He nodded solemnly: "I've already discussed it with Aunt Nishimiya. You'll have to pay me back in the future, so after you recover, Shoko, you'll have to work for me."

"If you can't pay it back, then let Yuzuru pay it back."

Kijima Yuta said.

Nishimiya Shoko's little brain couldn't keep up with Kijima Yuta's thinking speed, especially since she had just calmed down and was staring at him blankly.

"You're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

Yuta Kijima looked at the little dazed boy and almost burst out laughing. He quickly controlled himself and responded in sign language.

"No, no, no! That's not true!"

Nishimiya Shoko hurriedly shook her head, even though she herself hadn't quite grasped how quickly things had changed.

But compared to Yuta's unsolicited help, this fact was easier for her to accept, and she quickly replied, "I... I can work for Yuta to pay back the money in the future, so you don't need Yuzuru to work for you, and... and the wages I ask for are very small!"

Yuta Kijima sighed, gave a wry smile, and replied, "What if I make you work for me for the rest of your life?"

Unexpectedly, Nishimiya Shoko's eyes were firm, and she nodded seriously, saying in sign language, "It doesn't matter if it lasts a lifetime."

She had never had any fantasies about the future since she was very young. Now, she wouldn't mind working for Yuta for the rest of her life, as long as she could stay by his side.

……

"Hey, Yuzuru, did you even see what Yuta and the others were saying?"

Kitagawa Kaimu stood by the window and whispered in Nishimiya Yuzuru's ear, while a group of people watched her curiously. Only Nishimiya Yaeko and Yuzuru's grandmother, who were standing at the head of the bed, did not pay attention to their movements.

However, both of them were also worried about what was happening on the other side, as they knew how stubborn Shoko was.

When they were little, Shoko kept pestering Yaeko Nishimiya to let her go to a regular elementary school, but unfortunately, the result was not ideal...

Yuzuru Nishimiya poked his head back from the other side of the curtain, his expression a little strange.

She didn't immediately answer Kitagawa Kaimu's question, but instead looked at Nishimiya Yaeko and said in a complicated tone, "Mom, my sister sold herself to Yuta-nii..."

……

the other side.

Yuta Kijima naturally heard Yuzuru's undisguised words, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Nishimiya Shoko, who had been focusing her attention on him, tilted her head in confusion.

"Now you'll have to take your hospital treatment seriously so you can help me properly after you recover." Kijima Yuta shook his head and continued to entice her.

"I will ask Dr. Nakano about all the hospital expenses, and I will also calculate the interest later."

Nishimiya Shoko looked very serious. Having been influenced by her mother since childhood, she had excellent manners.

You should be responsible for the money you owe, and you can't let Yuta be the one to take the fall!

"Okay, okay... if you're not afraid that this place is a loan shark's den."

Yuta Kijima was speechless. How could someone voluntarily increase their debt? But looking at Shoko's serious expression, he couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 209 Early Romantic Relationships Prohibited

outside the ward.

The group of people who came to visit Shoko today have all come out.

Instantly, all eyes in the corridor turned to this place, surprised that so many girls with different styles had appeared at the same time.

"Yuta, is Shoko really yours from now on?"

Kitagawa Kaimu surrounded Kijima Yuta, chattering away.

Unlike the reserved and calm Kato Megumi and the secretive Eriri, Kitagawa Kaimu would ask questions directly whenever she had something on her mind, completely disregarding the opinions of others.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Yotsuba Nakano and Utaha Kasumigaoka are reserved people; it's just that neither of them is as fast as Kaimu Kitagawa.

"Can't you guys at least step away when someone is crying..." Kijima Yuta rubbed his temples. When he entered the ward, he thought that Shoko had been persuaded enough by Haimeng and Megumi. He didn't expect that so many things would happen after he met her.

Yuta Kijima continued, "I had no choice in this matter. If I hadn't said that, Shoko would never have agreed to receive treatment..."

The girls next to them did not deny it.

"But I think Shoko is really serious. Once she recovers, she should keep her promise."

"So, junior had grand ambitions all along..."

"Yuta..."

Yuta Kijima stood next to Yotsuba Nakano, listening to the sarcastic tone in their words, and a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

Do I really look like such an evil capitalist?

How could I possibly let Glass work for me for the rest of my life!

Those who knew Kijima Yuta's character naturally understood him, but after what had just happened, they still felt a little uneasy. It wasn't directed at Shoko, but they could only vent their frustration on Kijima Yuta.

Only Nakano Yotsuba, who hadn't yet become familiar with Kijima Yuta, watched this scene with complicated emotions, consciously keeping her lips tightly shut and not saying a word.

"Alright, that concludes today's business. I still have some matters to discuss with Yotsuba's father later. And you are...?"

Ignoring their sarcastic remarks, Kijima Yuta changed the subject and turned to look at Nakano Yotsuba.

“I’ve gathered enough material today, so it’s time to go home. Megumi, do you want to come with me?” Kasumigaoka Utaha said lazily to Kato Megumi.

"Okay," Kato Megumi's calm voice rang out. "Let's visit Shoko together again next time."

After saying goodbye, the two left together.

Now, only Eriri and Kitagawa Kaimu remain, their thoughts unknown. Kijima Yuta looked at the two of them.

Eriri raised her snow-white chin: "I've already notified my family's driver. Haimeng will be coming back with me later."

"..."

Yuta Kijima nodded. He didn't know how far their relationship had progressed, but it seemed they still had a lot in common.

"Then let's see each other again tomorrow. I'll treat everyone to a big meal when Shoko is discharged from the hospital next time," Yuta Kijima said with a slight smile.

"OK!" Kitagawa Kaimu exclaimed with delight, then added, "Let's buy the ingredients and eat at Yuta's place! Nothing outside tastes as good as Yuta's cooking!"

Yuta Kijima smiled and nodded.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Kijima Yuta turned to Nakano Yotsuba beside him and said, "Let's go then."

But then he saw Yotsuba Nakano looking at him with a strange expression. "Yuta, your cooking is even better than what you get outside?"

Although he didn't understand why Yotsuba Nakano would ask that question, Yuta Kijima still said enthusiastically, "It's just so-so. Of course, Yotsuba can come if she wants to eat here next time."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba Nakano looked away and murmured softly, "No way, could Yuta's cooking be better than Nino's?"

Soon the two stopped in front of an office.

"Yotsuba, aren't you coming in with me?" Standing at the door, Kijima Yuta looked at Nakano Yotsuba with a puzzled expression.

Yotsuba Nakano shook her head. "I won't go in. Otherwise, Dad will start nagging about my grades again. Yuta, you go in by yourself. I'll go wander around the neighborhood by myself."

After saying that, she waved her hand, turned a corner, and disappeared without a trace.

Yuta Kijima shook his head and then knocked on the door, wondering just how bad the five sisters' grades really were.

"Dong dong."

"Please come in!"

Yuta Kijima opened the door and slowly entered the room. He was greeted by Maruo Nakano sitting at a huge table, looking at him. There were bookshelves filled with books all around him.

Nakano Maruo took off his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Kijima Yuta with a smile: "What? Did you waste too much time at the Nishimiya family?"

Hearing this tone, Yuta Kijima understood that Dr. Nakano didn't have that kind of leader's airs. He shook his head with a wry smile: "Dr. Nakano, you've really left me with a difficult problem."

Nakano Maruo chuckled, gestured for Kijima Yuta to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, then sat back in his own chair and looked at the young man opposite him, saying, "Your willingness to help your friends is commendable, but I think it's best not to do it behind their backs. After all, these kinds of things can't be kept secret for very long..."

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and thought that if he were like him, his future might not be so easy.

Yuta Kijima nodded. He understood what Maruo Nakano was trying to say, but looking at the slightly bitter expression on the other's face, he was a little surprised. It seemed that this was also a person with a story.

"Alright! Then let's skip the formalities."

Seeing that Kijima Yuta understood his meaning, he didn't continue speaking.

“I’m planning to hire you as a tutor for my five daughters. What do you think?” Nakano Maruo tapped his slender fingers on the table.
