Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"Let Xiaoshi and the others clean up the rest of the dishes." Looking at his daughter who had no manners, Shinichi Kasumigaoka gave her a chance to shine.

“Xiao Shi really should exercise more, otherwise no one will like her if she gets fat,” Kasumigaoka Yumi immediately chimed in.

"Alright, alright." Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted. "If you keep talking, your daughter will become an unpardonable criminal."

"I'll help too," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

Seeing this, Kijima Yuta did not stop them, and said, "You can just put it in the dishwasher."

Then she turned to Shinichi Kasumigaoka and asked, "Uncle, if it's alright, shall we go to my studio to talk?"

Kasumigaoka nodded slightly.

……

Yuta Kijima led him into his studio, and as soon as he turned around to close the door, he saw that the boy had already started reading at his bookshelf.

Fortunately, Shinichi Kasumigaoka wasn't the type to rummage through other people's things, otherwise he would have been really worried that Shinichi Kasumigaoka would discover the masterpiece by Eri Kashiwagi that was on the top shelf of the bookshelf.

While Yuta Kijima was lost in thought, Shinichi Kasumigaoka came to his workbench again and began to examine it carefully.

Seeing that the table was neat and clean, and there was no strange smell in the room, Shinichi Kasumigaoka nodded slightly, and curiously picked up a drawing on the table and said, "Did Kijima-kun draw this himself?"

Yuta Kijima stepped forward, and after seeing the sketches in his hand, nodded: "Yes, these are just some drafts. I do have the idea of ​​moving into the manga industry later."

Fortunately, he had only put away Eriri's previous drawings; the rest were just some casual sketches he made in his spare time.

Kasumigaoka nodded, put down the drawing, then pulled over a chair in front of the workbench and sat down. He then pointed to another chair and said, "Kishima-kun, please sit down too. I have some things I'd like to discuss with you personally this time."

Yuta Kijima knew that the conversation was probably about his senior, so he pulled up a chair and sat down.

As the two looked at each other, Shinichi Kasumigaoka spoke first: "I wonder what Kijima-kun thinks of our little Shi?"

Yuta Kijima: "Senior?"

Shinichi Kasumigaoka nodded slightly, his body arching slightly, his face full of reminiscence: "Shizuka was different from other children from a young age; she always did things in her own way..."

“Although it’s a great advantage, sometimes…” Shinichi Kasumigaoka suddenly shook his head and sighed softly, “Sometimes it also gives Yumi and me a lot of headaches.”

"So you want to see what Kijima-kun thinks of Shiko?" Shinichi Kasumigaoka asked him curiously.

"Don't worry, I know Xiaoshi's personality. You don't need to worry that I'll secretly tell Xiaoshi later. You can trust my morals," Shinichi Kasumigaoka added.

Yuta Kijima pondered for a moment, reflecting on how he had known his senior since then, and said softly, "Your senior does indeed act a bit assertive at school..."

He paused, then continued, "However, I can sense that my senior's inner self is completely different from her outward appearance..."

“Maybe…” Yuta Kijima hesitated before saying, “Maybe most of the time, it’s just that my senior is hiding her true feelings…”

Shinichi Kasumigaoka was very satisfied with Yuta Kijima's opinion. He agreed, saying, "That's right. Don't let Shi's strong appearance fool you. She's just like any other girl. She's someone with her own emotions."

He shook his head and said with a smile, "But lately I keep hearing your name on her lips, Kijima-kun..."

"..."

Kijima Yuta, who instantly felt a sense of pressure, fell silent. He was also helpless about this situation.

Seeing that Yuta Kijima couldn't explain, Shinji Kasumigaoka composed himself and sighed, "I know it's not your fault, but I do feel a sense of frustration."

After all, it's the cabbage I've raised for so long...

Chapter 232 The Kasumigaoka Family Has No Idlers

He felt an indescribable sense of frustration, as if his carefully nurtured cabbage, which he had raised for so many years, had suddenly been dug up.

He was particularly furious when he heard from his wife that his daughter wanted to move in with Yuta Kijima.

"The current situation is... Xiaoshi has grown up, and I know that I may have to stay by her side for a long time in the future. I feel helpless about the current situation."

Yuta Kijima understood his father's feelings and nodded seriously, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will help persuade my senior. After all, it is very inconvenient for someone her age to move out and share an apartment."

"..."

Shinichi Kasumigaoka looked at Yuta Kijima with a strange expression and replied blankly, "Uh... my idea is that if you're willing, we can let Shinobu share an apartment with you for a while..."

"???"

Yuta Kijima thought he had misheard and looked at Shinichi Kasumigaoka in surprise. After seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he asked in confusion, "Uncle, are you serious?"

Wasn't the conversation just now supposed to be him trying to persuade his senior from this side?

Why is your attitude suddenly so different? What happened to your threat to insist on my stance on the phone yesterday? Why didn't you just insist a little longer?

Seeing his surprised and doubtful look, Shinichi Kasumigaoka felt a greater sense of trust in him and said with a wry smile, "Shizuka can't always be by my side. One day she'll have to move out on her own..."

"I was originally thinking of finding a place to rent a room for her close to home if she insisted, but... now it seems that it's better for her to share a room with you, Kijima-kun, rather than being alone outside."

"Uncle...I...it's not very convenient for me here," Yuta Kijima said through gritted teeth.

"We're still in a heterosexual relationship, Uncle, aren't you worried...?"

Shinichi Kasumigaoka immediately widened his eyes and warned, "Of course not! I'm warning you, I have a classmate who works in the Metropolitan Police Department."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

You're still bringing this up? The senior already said your classmate just does odd jobs at the Metropolitan Police Department…

Shinichi Kasumigaoka continued, "Of course, if you two really feel that the other is right for you, then I need to meet your parents first. Otherwise, you can't do anything out of line before that!"

Yuta Kijima's face grew darker and darker as he listened.

He glanced at Shinichi Kasumigaoka and said, "Uncle, I think you should really reconsider this. It's really not very convenient for me here..."

Shinichi Kasumigaoka looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Are you looking down on my little Shi?"

“No…no…” Yuta Kijima twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, “I think it’s better for us to stay at home right now.”

"Of course I know that! The key is that Xiaoshi wants to move out and live on her own now!"

"Do you really think I'd willingly hand over my little poem to you so carelessly?"

"I'm telling you, you should be secretly happy right now," Shinichi Kasumigaoka said, a little annoyed.

You've already made such a big concession, and now you're acting so unwillingly. From any perspective, Xiaoshi is no less capable than anyone else!

He automatically excluded Yukino Yukinoshita outside the door. There was no way he could compare; she had been raised according to the model of a well-bred young lady since childhood.

This is also a thorn in his side. He doesn't understand what kind of relationship Yukino Yukinoshita has with this kid. If it's really not ordinary, then Shizuka's situation is quite dangerous.

Yukino Yukinoshita has such great advantages.

Yuta Kijima was speechless for a moment as he looked at Shinichi Kasumigaoka, whose face showed a hint of anger. He no longer knew what excuse to use to stop their idea. He had thought that Shinichi Kasumigaoka would stand firmly on his side, but he didn't expect him to switch sides so easily at the last minute...

"Actually, I think there's more than one way to handle this..."

Yuta Kijima hoped to find a suitable reason, but he racked his brains and still couldn't think of what to say.

After all, it seems there's really no other way for the senior student to live alone right now.

"Uncle, let's talk about this later." Yuta Kijima stood up, intending to end the conversation.

Shinichi Kasumigaoka was a little taken aback. At this moment, he felt like he couldn't even give away his own daughter.

This is absolutely ridiculous! When has he ever been humiliated like this before?

"Kishima-kun..."

Shinichi Kasumigaoka stopped Yuta Kijima, who was trying to sneak away, and looked into his eyes. He said seriously, "I want to ask you for a favor as a father. After all, it is better to find someone I can trust than to let Shizue live alone outside."

"Of course, this certainly doesn't mean I'm accepting you as my son-in-law right now..."

Yuta Kijima was initially somewhat tempted by what he heard at the beginning, but his face immediately darkened when he heard the last part. "You two are truly a perfect family."

Seeing that he was still unmoved, Kasumigaoka Shinichi sighed deeply and said, "Kishima-kun, actually, the reason I value you is not entirely because of your good character. Another reason is that the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family lives next door. I will definitely ask her to keep an eye on this area."

He smiled wryly and said, "Brother Kijima, you can't really expect me to give you the poem, can you..."

Yuta Kijima finally heard some truth from inside. He pursed his lips and said softly, "Uncle, this is indeed a problem..."

"How about this? There's still over a month until the holidays. If you still have this idea after the holidays, then I won't stop my senior from sharing an apartment with me..."

"Ok!"

Shinichi Kasumigaoka immediately agreed, his quick response suggesting he had been waiting for Yuta Kijima to give in. He looked earnestly into Yuta Kijima's eyes and said, "No problem, I think a few months of adjustment period is necessary!"

"Then it's settled, Kijima-kun!"

As he spoke, he walked to the door, opened it, rushed out, and then closed it again, his movements fluid and seamless.

Just as Yuta Kijima raised his hand, ready to discuss it again, the other person had already disappeared. The words of complaint he was about to say were left unsaid and turned into a sigh.

"Have I been tricked by the Kasumigaoka family again?"

Chapter 233 Strong Enemy

Return to the living room.

"What did my dad say to you?" Seeing Yuta Kijima walk out of the room, Utaha Kasumigaoka pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Why does Dad seem to be in a good mood?"

Kijima Yuta's face darkened, and he looked at her strangely, saying, "Senior, you should ask your uncle when you get home. I'm a little embarrassed to say it..."

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned. "Did Dad agree to let me share an apartment with you?"

Seeing Kijima Yuta's frustrated expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly had a bold idea: Could it be that her father changed his mind because of the dish her junior made?

Kijima paused for a moment before saying, "Well... Uncle did discuss this with me, but as for the result... Senior, you should ask Uncle again when you get home."

He simply couldn't bring himself to admit that he had been tricked by Shinichi Kasumigaoka.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him suspiciously: "Is it necessary to be so mysterious? Is there some other option besides agreeing or disagreeing?"

Yuta Kijima coughed lightly, didn't respond, and walked past his senior to the living room sofa.

Kasumigaoka Hiromi smiled and said to him, "Oh, no wonder Shimi always wanted to share an apartment with Kijima-kun. No one can resist Kijima-kun's cooking."

Yuta Kijima smiled gently and said, "Auntie, you flatter me. It's just some simple home-cooked dishes."

"Uh... thank you."

Yuta Kijima saw a cup of hot tea suddenly placed in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Yukino Yukinoshita who had brought it over.

He glanced around and noticed that a cup of hot tea had been placed in front of everyone.

Watching Yukino Yukinoshita calmly nod and sit down with her cat in her arms, Yuta Kijima realized for the first time what it meant to be a lady from a respectable family.

Shinichi Kasumigaoka also witnessed this scene, and felt a slight bitterness in his heart.

His worst fears had come true. Although Yukino was one of the reasons he felt comfortable letting Shizuka share the apartment, he was still afraid that such a variable might occur.
