Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima was speechless.

Taking care of Shiyu-senpai? It's already quite an achievement that he can protect himself in front of her; how could he possibly be qualified to take care of her?

“Actually, Shi isn’t as assertive as Kijima-kun seems.” Seeing Kijima Yuta’s silence, Kasumigaoka Yumi quickly understood the reason.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha has never troubled her parents over the years, they understand their daughter well. She may not look perfect on the outside, but as long as they can get to her heart, they will succeed.

Then it will definitely occupy a place.

"When Xiaoshi submitted her first volume of light novel, she was really anxious at home. And when it was published, it wasn't that Xiaoshi seemed strong, but that she kept everything buried deep inside," Kasumigaoka Hiromi continued.

Chapter 217 Disaster to Chiyu

"Did you know?" Yumi Kasumigaoka said mysteriously, "Actually, Shi was very afraid of the dark when she was little. She would cry if she was left alone at home when she was in kindergarten."

"Xiao Shi is getting less and less cute these days." She sighed softly, thinking that the little Xiao Shi who used to chase after her and want a hug was much cuter.

Yuta Kijima was surprised that this now-powerful senior was once a little girl who was afraid of the dark; it was quite an unexpected contrast.

"Eh?"

Yumi Kasumigaoka tapped her chin lightly with her finger, her eyes suddenly brightening as she continued, "And there's more..."

"mom!"

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already organized her previous study materials, went downstairs. As soon as she approached the living room, she heard her mother talking about embarrassing things from her childhood. Her cheeks immediately turned red and she stopped her.

Upon hearing this sound, Yumi Kasumigaoka immediately shut her mouth.

Then, feigning surprise, she turned back to Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "Utaha, I thought you hadn't found it yet. I was even thinking of going up to help you."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes slightly: "Mom, what did you say to Junior just now?"

"Haha." Kasumigaoka Yumi laughed awkwardly, playing with her hair behind her ear, "I just talked to Kijima-kun about your future school plans. After all, Mom has been at home for so long that she doesn't really understand what young people are thinking these days."

“Xiao Shi, you are always unwilling to communicate with your mother when you come home.”

She looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a reproachful expression, seemingly harboring deep resentment.

Yuta Kijima watched the scene unfold before him, marveling at the wonder of the world. He couldn't fathom how someone so unreliable could raise such an arrogant senior.

At this moment, it felt to him like the future Shiyu-senpai was arguing with the current Shiyu-senpai.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the two of them suspiciously, but did not pursue the matter further. She first handed the documents in her hand to Kijima Yuta, and then sat down next to him.

This created a perfect standoff between the two, with Yumi Kasumigaoka facing off.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat up straight, then looked at Kasumigaoka Hiromi and slowly said, "Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Seemingly sensing the serious atmosphere, Kasumigaoka Hiromi gradually suppressed her frivolous expression and exuded an inexplicable air of authority as she looked intently at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kijima Yuta keenly sensed that something was amiss. Now that his needs had been met, he coughed lightly and stood up, indicating, "Uh... if there's nothing else for me..."

Little did she know that she had only gone halfway when Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting to the side, pulled her back to her original position.

"Senior?..."

"..."

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's stern warning, Kijima Yuta wisely shut his mouth.

Then try to move your position away as much as possible and minimize your influence.

Seeing this amusing scene, Yumi Kasumigaoka smiled slightly. A man who listens to his "wife" is not bad. This way, Shiho will be able to keep her in line in the future. Then, she shifted her gaze to Shiho Kasumigaoka across from her: "Shiho, is there something you need to discuss that requires Kijima-kun to be present?"

"You're not going to tell me you have kids outside, are you?"

A hint of amusement flickered in her eyes.

If that's the case...

That's fantastic.

Then she'll have plenty to do at home and be living the life of holding her grandchildren ahead of time.

Yuta Kijima's face darkened when he heard such absurd remarks.

How come these people's parents are all so incredibly powerful?

Veins were faintly visible on Kasumigaoka Utaha's smooth forehead. After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she looked at her mother across from her and said seriously, "Mom, I want to move out."

……

"No."

Yumi Kasumigaoka decisively refused.

"why?"

"I'm fully capable of living on my own now, aren't I?" Kasumigaoka Utaha defended herself upon hearing this all-too-familiar answer.

“Xiao Shi…” Kasumigaoka Yumi lowered her eyelids and sighed, “Your father and I have discussed this matter many times, and the final decision is still not to approve of you living alone.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha clenched her hands slightly on her lap, looked up at Kijima Yuta beside her and said, "Look at my junior! He's been living alone since he went on to higher education, so why can't I?"

Kijima Yuta: "..."

You can say whatever you want, but don't drag me into it.

Besides, living alone and you living alone are two different things. Putting aside the fact that I'm a man and you're a woman, my predecessor cried and begged at home for a long time before they finally agreed.

Sure enough, Yumi Kasumigaoka glanced at Yuta Kijima, who had been caught in the crossfire, and said with surprise, "Shizuka, you should know that it is very dangerous for a beautiful girl like you to live alone outside."

"I recently saw some reports online about some despicable men who find women's homes using information found online, and some even sneak into other people's homes..."

She recounted a series of cases, attempting to dissuade Kasumigaoka Utaha from her stubborn idea.

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip lightly: "But I don't want to stay at home anymore. I'll have to live alone eventually. Do I have to stay at home every day from now on?"

"Xiao Shi...do you really hate living with your mother that much?"

"No...no, it's just..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha hurriedly said.

After listening for so long, Yuta Kijima finally understood: Utaha-senpai has now reached the stage where her wings have hardened and she wants to go out and build her own nest.

This is a common thought among many young people. Some feel uncomfortable living at home, while others feel they are capable enough and want to be more independent.

The senior student belongs to that category.

But only those who have entered society can understand that living alone is not so simple.

The daily necessities of life—rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, rent, utilities, and living expenses—have crushed countless young people with lofty ideals.

Kasumigaoka Utaha continued, "I think I'm ready to live independently, and you should give me a chance to try and fail."

Yumi Kasumigaoka was momentarily speechless, then said softly, "Shizuka, you're a girl, you should never use the word 'trial and error' carelessly, because you can't afford to experience even one trial and error..."

She felt utterly helpless with her daughter, who already harbored independent thoughts. Despite countless attempts to persuade her, the idea only intensified...

Chapter 218 Yuta Kijima Has No Human Rights

As an adult, Yumi Kasumigaoka naturally understands the hardships of living alone. She continued, "Besides, you can't even cook ordinary meals. Are you planning to eat bento boxes at home from now on?"

After a brief silence, Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head, smiled, and turned to Kijima Yuta, saying, "Junior, there's an empty room in your house that no one lives in."

"?" Kasumigaoka Yumi looked at Kijima Yuta and asked curiously, "You don't know how, Shi?"

"Correct!"

"..."

Kijima Yuta's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately straightened his posture and said, "No! How can this be!"

"I have no intention of sharing an apartment right now!"

"..."

No wonder he had been wondering why his senior wanted to take him home. It turned out that she hadn't given up on the idea she had mentioned before. So, was his senior just putting on an act all along?

Is this last one your true thought?

"Little Poem?"

Yumi Kasumigaoka's eyes darted suspiciously between the two. She had initially thought their relationship was still in a slow-developing phase, but now it seemed that her daughter was taking the initiative.

Although she was quite looking forward to having a grandson, she was still a little hesitant about the fact that things were progressing so quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Kasumigaoka Hiromi slowly said, "Are you really serious about this, Shi? I don't doubt Kijima-kun's character, but I'm not ready to have grandchildren yet."

She cleared her throat lightly. "I think we can consider this after we go to college..."

"..."

Did you discuss this in front of me without considering my wishes at all?! Yuta Kijima now realizes that coming to his senior's house today was a mistake.

“Mom,” Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted, “Do you really think I can’t take care of myself? Besides, I brought my junior home today to introduce him to you. I think there’s still room for discussion…”

Now that things have come to this, she no longer intends to hide it. That's right, her initial idea was to move out and live alone, but she knew that if she insisted on saying it, there was no possibility of it being implemented.

So she decided to settle for second best and set her sights on her junior's home.

Having observed for so long, she had come to understand Yuta Kijima's character. He was someone who was willing to do his best to help a friend he had only known for a short time, so she felt that nothing unexpected would happen if they shared an apartment.

Most importantly, I can sleep until I naturally wake up, and someone will cook for me. I won't have to listen to my parents' nagging at home anymore.

This is simply amazing!

Yuta Kijima smirked: "Can you guys hear my thoughts?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised a finger and gently twirled it around her hair: "Well, since your room is just sitting empty anyway, why don't I help you split the rent? Of course, I'll also pay for your food."

Yuta Kijima was speechless: "This isn't about the rent. You and I... how could we just casually agree to share an apartment like this?"

Don't you even have the slightest thought about the differences between men and women?

I'm a young man full of vigor, okay? Aren't you afraid I'll just take you right there and then one day?!

"You don't have any strange thoughts about me, do you, junior?" Kasumigaoka Utaha preemptively struck.

"..."

The senior student gently shook her beautiful leg, her phoenix eyes glancing over: "If there's no problem, we're just friends to begin with, so what's wrong with sharing an apartment?"

Good grief, they've already blocked my escape route. If I refuse, it means I have ulterior motives towards my senior, right?
