Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Eriri leaned close to Yuta Kijima's ear and whispered, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there really is such a talented genius in the world."

Yuta Kijima sat at his desk, which was covered with draft papers he had revised based on Eriri's illustrations. If you looked closely, you would notice that the quality of each draft was slightly better than the last. This was what you called "cheating"...

[Drawing Skill Level 2: 60/100]

Upon hearing Eriri's praise, Kijima Yuta subconsciously turned around, not realizing for a moment that she was leaning close to his face. He was just thinking of telling Eriri not to call him "Kijima-kun" anymore, since he was already calling her by her name.

But before she could even speak, she was stunned by the faint, warm touch on her lips.

Because it was right next to his face, when he turned his head, his lips lightly touched Eriri's cheek.

Holy crap! I hope Sayuri Sawamura doesn't kill me!

Realizing what was happening, Yuta Kijima braced himself and backed away. How could Eriri be so close!

Why are you leaning on my shoulder?

After a two-second pause, Eriri finally reacted, her pretty face turning bright red at a visible speed. She immediately left Kijima Yuta's side.

"You bastard! What...what did you just do?!"

Eriri's eyes turned into mosquito coil-like eyes, and it seemed like water vapor was constantly rising from the top of her head.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently wiped her cheek, as if the heat she had just felt was still there.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima's mind raced, and he stammered, "I...I didn't realize Eriri was next to my shoulder..."

"Ah!?" Eriri's eyes flashed with panic. It was indeed a misunderstanding she had caused, but... she couldn't just admit it like that.

Eriri bared her fangs angrily, "Are you implying it's my fault? This...this was my first kiss!"

First kiss?

Yuta Kijima was a little confused. Didn't they actually kiss?

He looked at Eriri's lips, her pink lips pressed tightly together.

"This... Eriri, your first kiss is still intact, I... I didn't touch your lips just now." Upon seeing this, Kijima Yuta suddenly regained his senses and confidently corrected Eriri's grammatical error.

……

"what!"

Eyes facing each other.

Eriri opened her mouth, revealing her small canine teeth. Kijima Yuta's words had made her so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Do you want to kiss me on the lips?!

Yuta Kijima was feeling uneasy. Although it was indeed because Eriri was leaning on his shoulder that this melodramatic incident happened, it was always the girl who suffered the most, and no matter how he explained, it would seem weak and powerless.

"Eiriri?"

In the unusual silence, there was a knock at the door. Sawamura Sayuri asked curiously from outside, "What happened, Eriri? I just heard you scream."

What should I say? Yuta Kijima was taken aback. If Eriri's mother found out, I might have to sleep under Tokyo Bay tonight.

His gaze swept over Eriri, wondering if she would immediately open the door, call the police, and have him arrested.

"It's alright!" Eriri spoke up just when Kijima Yuta was about to lose his temper over the eerie atmosphere.

Eriri hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell her mother what had just happened. She wasn't the kind of girl who would act wildly and recklessly, and the whole thing couldn't be blamed on Yuta Kijima.

Let's get rid of Mom first, otherwise who knows what might happen.

"Mom, is there something you need? If not, please don't bother us," Eriri said.

However, his eyes remained fixed on Yuta Kijima with a fierce look, as if he were a heinous wolf.

A faint blush lingered on her face, which resembled a finely sculpted piece of white jade.

The canine teeth at the corners of his mouth were not loose at all, making him look just like an angry little tiger.

Take a deep breath.

"Don't be angry, it's not his fault, it's not his fault."

As a famous young lady from Toyonosaki, Eriri has an outstanding ability to regulate her expressions and emotions, as she always encounters all kinds of confessions and jealousy from her peers.

"Huh?" Sayuri Sawamura chuckled teasingly from outside the door. "It's already noon, and I'm only now bringing you your food. Eriri, aren't you going to open the door? Mommy can't hold on much longer."

Eriri, whose mind was in turmoil, glanced at the time and realized it was already 12:30. She hadn't expected that watching Yuta Kijima draw would take so long.

But why is it Mom who brought lunch? Where is the cook?

Eriri asked, "Where's Auntie? Why did Mom bring the food?"

There aren't many people living in this mansion normally; it's just the cook and their family.

Other sanitation and garden maintenance are handled by professional teams, and because Eriri's father is often away from home, they hire women.

Because Eriri hadn't moved around at all this morning, she had no idea what had happened.

Outside the door, Sawamura Sayuri said with a smile, "Hey~ Didn't I tell you? Auntie is off today. Why, Eriri, don't you want to eat Mom's cooking?"

"As expected, Eriri has started to dislike her mother..." This was followed by Sawamura Sayuri's sad whisper.

Kijima Yuta: "..."

You didn't tell me that Auntie would be taking the day off today!

Eriri gritted her teeth, preparing to open the door for Sawamura Sayuri.

As I passed by Yuta Kijima, I glared at him.

Yuta Kijima knew he couldn't reveal what had just happened, or else he would be sent a letter.

Eriri reluctantly opened the door. If she could, she really wouldn't want her mother to come in, especially with a man in her room.

"Oh my, Eriri, you've finally opened the door! Mom, I prepared lunch especially for you today."

A familiar voice rang out, and Sayuri Sawamura, wearing a striped yukata, stood smiling at the door.

Her words were full of a mother's concern for her daughter.

However, her gaze kept drifting towards the ground before settling on Yuta Kijima, who had been standing awkwardly in place since the beginning.

"Huh? What's wrong with Kijima-kun?"

I just heard Eriri exclaim in surprise. Why doesn't the scene look chaotic enough now? Everyone's dressed perfectly fine.

"Well... I was bending over drawing for too long, and when I stood up, my chair accidentally bumped into Eriri." Kijima Yuta blushed slightly and gave a somewhat far-fetched explanation.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. I was just wondering what you guys were up to," Sawamura Sayuri said with an awkward yet polite laugh.

Eriri narrowed her eyes. "Mom, what do you think we're doing?!"

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you old slut.

Chapter 62 A successful ending

Sawamura Sayuri entered the room, placed the lunch she was carrying next to the desk, and looked curiously at the manuscript papers on the table. "Did Kijima-kun draw all of these?"

Yuta Kijima nodded, "Yes, Eriri taught me all of that."

He looked at Eriri, who paused, snorted, and turned her head away, leaving him with the back of her head.

However, because Sayuri Sawamura was there, she restrained herself a little. If her mother noticed anything amiss, it would be a big problem. "He's quite talented. He understands things very quickly. He mastered all of these things in just a short time."

She didn't teach Kijima Yuta much; she just stood by and gave him some guidance. She wouldn't be so arrogant as to claim credit for it. It probably won't be long before Kijima Yuta doesn't need her guidance anymore, and then she'd be making a fool of herself by boasting.

Sayuri Sawamura looked at the manuscript with a glint in her eyes, and then said, "I didn't realize Eriri had the potential to be a teacher."

Eriri, upon hearing Sawamura Sayuri's assessment, didn't want her to stay any longer and said irritably, "I told you I didn't teach him much!"

Seeing that Sawamura Sayuri was about to continue, Eriri impatiently went over and pushed her, "Alright, Mom, now that the food has been delivered, let's go out quickly."

"Hey! Okay, okay, really..." Sayuri Sawamura was pushed towards the door by Eriri, looking helpless.

"You two should be careful what you say, you're still so young." As she pushed him out the door, Sayuri Sawamura advised Yuta Kijima.

This made Kijima Yuta very embarrassed...

"Also, don't make too much noise..."

"boom!"

Before Sawamura Sayuri could finish speaking, Eriri quickly closed the door, interrupting Sayuri's shocking statement.

"Alright, let's eat, Kijima-kun." Eriri was a little speechless when she saw Kijima Yuta still standing there anxiously.

Then there was a bit of helplessness; what kind of mess is this?

After thinking for a moment, Eriri warned Kijima Yuta again: "You absolutely cannot tell anyone about what happened today, understand!"

After speaking, Eriri subconsciously raised her hand to touch the side of her cheek where Kijima Yuta had kissed her earlier, a blush rising on her face. Luckily, he hadn't kissed her lips.

That's something Eriri has treasured since she was little. If it were taken away by such an accident, she would be furious.

Yuta Kijima nodded: "Okay."

"Humph!"

Eriri gave a light snort, showing off her little fangs.

Yuta Kijima also tried to change the subject; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to have a proper conversation.

"Eriri... Actually, what I was trying to say was that you don't need to call me Kijima anymore, you can just call me by my name—Yuta."

"After all, I've started calling you Eriri, and you even taught me how to draw..."

Eriri turned to look at Yuta Kijima, her eyes glazed over, and said nothing.

After a long pause, she took a light breath and, with a touch of pride, agreed to Kijima Yuta's suggestion: "Okay... Yu... Yuta."

This isn't as simple as just forgiving Kijima Yuta. Although today's events were her fault, this guy still got such a huge benefit!

She already had a plan in mind to bring Kijima Yuta over to do manual labor once he became proficient in drawing.

Don't think my face is so easy to kiss!

Yuta Kijima nodded, not dwelling on the earlier misunderstanding. Eriri had recovered, so there was no need for him to be coy.

After finishing her meal, Eriri collected the plates and carried them out.

"Just finish the work you didn't finish this morning this afternoon. I haven't prepared anything else for you yet," Eriri pouted.

Who knew he was so talented? She had originally planned to have Yuta Kijima study the manuscript she stayed up all night writing for a day, but judging from this progress, Yuta Kijima will be able to finish it by three or four o'clock this afternoon.
