Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"Hey! Hey! Are you Yuta?"

Aki Tomoya looked surprised. Shouldn't Yuta be an outcast who couldn't see his eyes and wore heavy black-rimmed glasses?

Was Yuta switched at birth?

The person in front of me was also wearing glasses, but they were clearly different from the ones Yuta used to wear. His glasses had a simpler, more stylish frame that blended perfectly with his features. They not only made his eyes appear brighter but also gave him an intelligent look.

Aki Tomoya could hardly believe that this was Kijima Yuta.

He's more like a typical "normie" (someone who's out and about in a good relationship).

Their eyes met, and Yuta Kijima smiled.

"Rinya, there's no need to be so surprised, is there? I just got a haircut and changed my glasses while I was at it."

"Ugh?"

Aki Tomoya was incredulous. Was it just a simple haircut?

Did you have a head transplant?

Perhaps I haven't paid enough attention to Yuta before.

Aki Tomoya began to doubt his previous attention to his friend.

Yuta Kijima didn't pay any attention.

Aki Tomoya was just an ordinary friend of his at school. Very few people at this school could be friends with Tomoya, because anyone associated with Tomoya would be excluded from most small groups.

It's likely that Aki Tomoya didn't pay much attention to Kijima Yuta usually. He just wanted to find a friend with shared interests who could preach together at school, and Kijima Yuta was only barely on the list before.

However, now that Aki Tomoya has witnessed Kijima Yuta's talent in the field of light novels, they should really work on developing their friendship.

"If you're asking me about light novels, let's talk about it at noon," Yuta Kijima whispered to Tomoya Aki.

More and more people entered the classroom, and several girls who had just entered had already witnessed what was happening.

They huddled together whispering, occasionally glancing at Yuta Kijima out of the corner of their eyes.

We can't let Aki Tomoya stand there any longer.

Although Yuta Kijima knew that coming to school looking like this today would cause some unnecessary problems, he didn't want to create a spotlight for himself.

Yuta Kijima reached out and pressed Tomoya Aki down into a seat, quickly saying, "Tomoya, we can talk about your problems privately later. Don't turn around now."

Aki Tomoya was clearly not fully recovered yet. After Kijima Yuta pressed him back into his seat, he tried to stand up and run to Kijima Yuta's side.

After hearing what Yuta Kijima said, she calmed down and suppressed all her questions.

……

Just as Yuta Kijima and Tomoya Aki were arguing next to each other, the girls who happened to walk into the classroom witnessed the scene.

I initially thought it was just two marginalized students in the class discussing something disgusting.

But when they saw the person in front of Aki Tomoya, they were all stunned.

Are there any boys this good-looking in my class?

Could it be a new transfer student?

It wasn't until they heard Aki Tomoya's surprised exclamation, "Eh! Eh! Are you Yuta?", that they realized this handsome boy who looked like a slightly suave villain was actually Kijima Yuta!

In an instant, the girls exchanged glances.

Quickly form a circle around one of the girls' seats.

One of the girls spoke first, in a low voice that could only be heard around them: "Did you hear what An Yi said just now?"

Boys like to talk about pretty girls, and girls like to talk about handsome boys.

It was obvious that the new handsome guy in the classroom had sparked their conversation, and if nothing unexpected happened, the girls' conversations would revolve around Yuta Kijima for the next few days.

"I heard that, but is the boy in front of him really Yuta Kijima?" Another girl glanced at Yuta Kijima secretly, then quickly looked away, speaking uncertainly.

"I know the seat is right... but I remember last week Kijima was a gloomy otaku, wasn't he?"

"Yes, I remember it being like that too."

After they finished speaking, they all turned to look at Yuta Kijima.

Just then, I saw Yuta Kijima push Tomoya Aki back into the seat in front of him.

"It must be Kijima-kun. After all, he's the only one in school who can really hang out with that otaku Aki Tomoya." A girl, already convinced of Kijima Yuta's change, said softly.

The other girls exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of shock in the other's eyes.

One weekend, two days.

Are you kidding me? How can it be completely different?

But the facts were right in front of them, and they had no choice but to believe them.

So the topic gradually shifted.

After a brief silence, a girl spoke up, "Kijima-kun has become so handsome, he's my type."

At this point, the other girls also started to get lively, but they never openly started discussing it loudly.

"What are you saying? Didn't you used to like the younger, cute type?"

"Ah~ Kijima-kun looks so literary and roguishly handsome now, why didn't I notice before?"

"Could it be that Kijima was influenced by Aki Tomoya before?" a girl tried to find a reason for the handsome Kijima Yuta.

"Maybe! After all, Aki Tomoya was able to publicly promote those disgusting comic books during school assemblies."

"Poor Kijima-kun..."

In a society where appearance is everything, schools are no exception.

In the blink of an eye, Aki Tomoya's level of dislike among girls rose several notches.

Yuta Kijima didn't hear the girls' conversation, and even if he had, he wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Girls in this age group become indifferent to everything else once they see a handsome boy.

With more than ten minutes left before class started, Aki Tomoya kept trying to turn around and answer his questions, but Kijima Yuta forced him back with his eyes.

The students who entered the classroom afterward, whether boys or girls, were all filled with confusion when they saw Yuta Kijima sitting in the last row.

The girls were pulled aside by the girls who had come in earlier to explain that the handsome boy was not a new transfer student, but their classmate, Yuta Kijima.

Of course, the reason why Aki Tomoya led Kijima Yuta astray was also spread along with it.

After all, letting a handsome guy go unnoticed in the class is a serious crime among the girls, and Aki Tomoya has already been listed as a Class A war criminal in the class.

At first, many people didn't believe it, but later they were convinced by what they said about hearing the conversation between Yuta Kijima and Tomoya Aki.

Then, until just before class started, apart from a few boys who were unaware of the situation, the students sitting in their seats would occasionally turn their heads to look at Yuta Kijima, and then quickly turn their heads away again.

Seeing this scene, Yuta Kijima felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind.

Chapter 35 Aki Tomoya's Doubts

And so, the first class of the morning proceeded in this atmosphere.

Even the teacher who came to the classroom noticed the problem. After looking around at the podium, he glanced at Yuta Kijima with a questioning look in his eyes.

But he suppressed his doubts and began to teach the lesson methodically.

The problem is that many students are not paying attention to the blackboard in class.

This left the teacher feeling quite helpless. The first class this morning was history, and the teacher was a typical middle-aged man with a receding hairline. Normally, this teacher had a very good relationship with the students in the class.

"Does everyone really not want to listen to my class? Why are you always looking to the back? Is that student your history teacher?"

The history teacher placed the book on the podium, rested his hands on the edge of the table, and looked troubled. "I'm also very curious about who this student is. Is he a new transfer student? I think if you don't answer the students' questions today, this class won't be able to continue."

After saying that, the teacher looked at Yuta Kijima, signaling him to answer.

A murmur of discussion arose below, and all eyes turned to Yuta Kijima.

Kijima Yuta: "..."

?

Is this necessary? It's making me feel like I'm in court.

The history teacher pushed up his glasses and looked at Yuta Kijima encouragingly.

Yuta Kijima hesitated for a moment, but still stood up. His intuition told him that if he didn't give a proper explanation, the class really couldn't continue.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuta Kijima. Um... I just recently changed my appearance a little, so please don't be so formal. I hope you'll continue to support me in the future."

He gave a brief explanation, glanced at the teacher on the podium, and said, "Alright, I don't think you all expect me to teach you history. Just listen carefully to the lesson. If you have any questions later, you can ask me..."

"Kijima-kun, do you have a girlfriend?"

The girls in the class immediately burst into laughter; clearly, the question had been asked by one of the more outgoing girls.

At this moment, the history teacher tapped the blackboard and said with a smile, "Alright, I think Kijima has answered everyone's questions. You should all get back to your studies now. Otherwise, I'll have to ask Kijima to come up to the front and give you a lesson, which I think he would really be reluctant to do."

"But I didn't expect Kijima to change so much. You must regret missing out on such a promising student like Kijima." The history teacher was someone who could get along well with his students, and he didn't forget to tease the female students in the class at this moment.

"........."

The boys in the class were amused by the history teacher's words.

Then the history teacher used his powerful ability to control the class to guide the lesson back on track, and the lesson finally got back on track.

Yuta Kijima finally felt relieved.

After class, the teacher deliberately glanced at Yuta Kijima before leaving.

When Yuta Kijima realized something was wrong and tried to sneak away to pee, it was too late; several female classmates had already come to ask her questions.

Aki Tomoya, who was sitting in front of Kijima Yuta, was forced out of his seat, causing him to glare at Kijima Yuta with resentment.

Yuta Kijima didn't intend to ignore the students' questions, but he only answered serious ones, omitting details like "What kind of girl do you like?" or "Do you have a girlfriend?"

It simply means that he already has a girl he likes.

Upon hearing the answer, the girls visibly sank into low spirits, but Yuta Kijima didn't seem to care at all.

His top priority right now is to resolve this whole mess.

"Okay, thank you, Kijima-kun."
