Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"Let's sit over there," Yuta Kijima said, pointing to a seat under a cherry blossom tree.

Kato Megumi nodded slightly.

The two sat down.

"Megumi, will our... um... relationship continue like this?" Yuta Kijima asked.

Since it was originally an online relationship, and we'll both be in the same school from now on, it's impossible to continue the online relationship.

Yuta Kijima wanted to ask Megumi for her opinion, because he was also a little confused and didn't know how to get along with her in the future. He wanted to know what Megumi thought about it, and he could accept whatever she said.

Kato Megumi blinked gently: "What about Yuta? What does Yuta think their relationship is?"

Although Yuta Kijima didn't say it explicitly, Megumi Kato still understood what he meant.

Yuta Kijima could only see Megumi Kato's faint smile, completely unaware of what she was thinking.

Kato Megumi gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, avoiding looking into Kijima Yuta's eyes, and said shyly, "Um~ Yuta, I think we can continue to get to know each other slowly, what do you think?"

Kijima Yuta glanced at Kato Megumi instinctively, and a slight blush appeared on Megumi's face...

"Ahem, I also think this is a good idea, after all, it's only our first day meeting."

He wouldn't object to Hui's idea—sometimes falling in love with someone can't rely solely on sweet words online; you have to get to know them personally to gradually appreciate their good qualities and realize whether there's any discrepancy between online and real life.

Many people who have been scammed in online dating are deceived by sweet words, but in reality, it's just a matter of "typing a few words".

Yuta Kijima wasn't surprised by Megumi's opinion.

“Anyway, we’re in the same school, and we have a long time ahead of us…” Yuta Kijima thought for a moment.

"Oh, right? I'll have to rely on Yuta to take care of me at school from now on." Kato Megumi's voice was calm. "I'll also need Yuta's help with my studies from now on."

After school tomorrow, Yuta Kijima decided to go with Megumi to check out Tomoya's club. Based on his understanding of Tomoya Aki, he figured he could tutor Megumi tomorrow.

Get a free clubroom.

Lunch is also served.

Thinking of this, Kijima Yuta asked Kato Megumi, "Megumi, do you also go to Tomoya's clubroom for lunch?"

"Ah... well, since I don't have any friends while studying, after joining Aki Tomoya's club, I started eating lunch in the clubroom." Kato Megumi said calmly and softly, "Tomorrow at noon, Yuta can come with Aki Tomoya too."

Kato Megumi looked at Kijima Yuta, as if she was expecting his answer.

“Of course I’d love to, Megumi,” Yuta Kijima said with a smile. “I’ll have Tomoya take me tomorrow at noon.”

"I wonder if Aki Tomoya will still be arguing with his senior tomorrow at noon," Kato Megumi said cheerfully after receiving a reply.

"I'd love to see Tomoya and Kasumigaoka-senpai argue," Yuta Kijima said expectantly.

“Hmm… Yuta’s got a bit of a mischievous streak,” Kato Megumi chuckled.

Chapter 33 Hui's Striving for Excellence

5:30 p.m.

Kato Megumi returned home satisfied.

A mischievous voice rang out from the living room.

"Hui-chan, you're back? I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

Hiromi Kato was lying on the sofa in the living room when she heard Megumi Kato open the door. She immediately sat up and ran to Megumi Kato.

"Sister, please don't say things that don't make sense," Kato Megumi said calmly, pushing away Kato Hiromi's face that was close to hers.

"Huh? Really not?" Hiromi Kato asked curiously, following Megumi Kato.

"Of course. Sister, do you really want me to find a boyfriend?" Kato Megumi said calmly.

Of course, Hiromi Kato supports Megumi Kato finding a boyfriend. Megumi Kato has always been the most reassuring person in the family since childhood, but she is also the least reassuring.

The Kato family was troubled by Kato Megumi's elusive and ambiguous temperament. Kato Megumi had also gotten used to this state and did not have a close friend. This made Kato Hiromi, who was about to get engaged, very worried about her younger sister.

Hearing Kato Megumi's question, Kato Hiromi didn't back down, but laughed and said, "Yes, of course I hope Megumi-chan finds a boyfriend!" Kato Hiromi stepped forward and hugged Kato Megumi, "Me? I'm getting engaged soon, who will be there for Megumi then..."

"..."

Kato Megumi sensed the change in her sister's tone and realized the concern her family had for her. Kato Megumi sighed softly, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

"And I also have a friend, I'll bring him to meet you if I have the chance."

"Huh?!" Hiromi Kato released Megumi Kato and exclaimed in shock, "Is...is it him?"

“Hmm…” Kato Megumi didn’t continue.

Oh no, I didn't notice that detail.

In the language of island nations, the ways of expressing "he" and "she" are different, and gender can be distinguished from the pronunciation.

Kato Megumi didn't notice the difference in pronunciation just now and spoke without thinking. I didn't expect Kato Hiromi to be so perceptive.

Kato Megumi didn't offer any explanation and walked back to her room without looking back.

"Megumi-chan, it's okay, I won't tell Mom!" Hiromi Kato shouted happily from behind Megumi Kato.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Kato Megumi returned to her room and lay exhausted on the bed. She had been nervously getting up early that morning and only calmed down after meeting Yuta. Before meeting him, she was worried about what kind of person Yuta was.

Fortunately, Yuta is an outstanding person, so outstanding that even Kato Megumi felt a little inferior.

Kato Megumi thought for a moment, then raised her hand to examine the bracelet on her wrist more closely.

"You need to study hard now."

At her current age, Yuta not only maintains excellent grades but has also created outstanding light novels. If she doesn't study hard, how can she catch up with Yuta?

After thinking it over, Kato Megumi took out her school textbooks and reinforced those obscure and difficult knowledge points.

Back in his apartment, Yuta Kijima lay on his bed, not wanting to move.

Recalling the events of the day, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He touched the glasses he was wearing.

This is a very meaningful gift.

It means that I need to rebuild my relationship with Hui slowly. The good news is that we will have more time to meet in the future, and it will no longer be a virtual relationship online.

Furthermore, the relationship between Yuta Kijima and Megumi Kato didn't start from scratch; their current state is more like that of friends but not quite lovers.

I must say, meeting Megumi for the first time today was a huge shock to Yuta Kijima.

He finally understands what it feels like to care about someone.

Yuta Kijima stretched happily, preparing to get up and prepare dinner.

"buzzing"

Before it even started, my phone in my pocket started vibrating.

Who is it at this time?

Yuta Kijima muttered a complaint, taking out his phone and putting it to his ear without even looking at it.

"Moses Moses?"

"Mr. Kijima, this is Machida Sonoko. What's the deal with you suddenly asking me about the autograph session today? I sent you a message afterward but didn't receive a reply."

On the other end of the phone, Machida Sonoko had been busy with the publication of the light novel "Your Lie in April" when she suddenly received a message from Kijima Yuta in the morning, asking about the book signing event.

Why are authors so impatient these days?

According to the normal publishing process, holding a book signing event is not enough once the book is published; it also depends on subsequent sales, market response, and reader acceptance.

Although Machida Sonoko believes in Kijima-sensei's work, holding a book signing event is not a problem.

But we still need to take it one step at a time.

So after seeing Yuta Kijima's message, Machida Sonoko kept sending him messages asking why he was asking about the autograph session.

However, Yuta Kijima was so engrossed in the sweetness of his "date" that he didn't pay attention to Sonoko Machida's barrage of messages.

Yuta Kijima was stunned for a moment. He had heard Megumi's answer this morning and asked Editor Machida on a whim. Now, the consequences were coming.

"Ah, a book signing event." Yuta Kijima stroked his chin, thinking of an excuse in his mind. "I just saw other authors holding book signing events and I was quite envious. I wondered if I would have the opportunity to hold one in the future."

Upon hearing this answer, Machida Sonoko was stunned. This answer was far too casual! The key point is that your book hasn't even been printed yet. How can a small editor like me schedule your book signing now?

Machida Sonoko muttered to herself for a moment, then explained, "Mr. Kijima, the book signing event can't be held so hastily. We have to wait until your book is published and discuss it with our publisher before we can make a decision."

"So, Mr. Kijima, don't worry. I believe you can hold a book signing event too, and it won't be too long."

In the past, Machida Sonoko had to personally urge the authors she was involved with to attend their book signings; otherwise, none of the authors would be willing to participate.

Kijima-sensei is such a strange person; perhaps only someone as strange as him could write such a work.

Yuta Kijima is completely unconcerned about Machida's explanation. It was just a fleeting thought of his, and now he needs to smooth things over.

It's so uncomfortable.

Yuta Kijima acknowledged that he understood the process, then briefly wished Editor Machida a good rest before ending the call.

"Haha, okay, thank you for your concern, Professor Kijima. But I think you also hope to see your work printed soon. I'll be fine once I'm done with this busy period."

Yuta Kijima is capable and polite, and Sonoko Machida has high hopes for his future, so she is naturally willing to give Yuta Kijima some small preferential treatment.

After hanging up the phone, Yuta Kijima tossed his phone onto the bed.

Although somewhat surprised, he was still very satisfied with Machida's responsible attitude.

He shook his head slightly, trying to clear his mind.

My first day with Hui has passed just like that.

Chapter 34 Class A War Criminal - Aki Tomoya

Silent all night.

The next day, not long after he sat down in the classroom, Aki Tomo rushed in and went to Kijima Yuta's desk: "Yuta! You're amazing!"

"Okay."

Yuta Kijima responded, knowing what Tomoya Aki was referring to. What could excite Tomoya was nothing more than things in ACG, namely his creation, "Your Lie in April".

"Yuta, why are you so calm?" Aki Tomo didn't feel his friend's passion either, and looked at Kijima Yuta with a puzzled expression.
