Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

What kind of thing did I just save?

Perhaps noticing that her "savior's" gaze had become strange, the girl sheepishly shrank back.

"Hehe, thank you for saving me today. If you hadn't appeared then, I would have really been in despair..." Then she lowered her eyes, still feeling lingering fear as she recalled what had just happened.

"fine."

Seeing that the girl had returned to normal, Kijima Yuta didn't pay attention to the shocking question she had just asked, assuming that she was just too nervous and trying to distract herself.

"Thank you so much for your help!"

To show her sincerity, she deliberately stood in front of Yuta Kijima and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

"I'm glad you're alright." Yuta Kijima scratched his head slightly awkwardly.

It's fine to ask him for help, but he always feels uncomfortable when receiving thanks.

"Oh, right!"

The girl raised her head slightly and said eagerly, "My name is Kitagawa Kaimu, what's yours?!"

Looking at the girl whose eyes were gleaming with intelligence, Kijima Yuta had no choice but to look away and also take a look at the girl in front of him.

He was about 1.65 meters tall, with red eyes, long golden hair with unusual colors at the ends that reached his waist, styled with his ears exposed and parted to the side, and wearing a collar around his neck that he didn't recognize. He was very refined from head to toe.

"My name is Yuta Kijima," he introduced himself.

Chapter 74 Kitagawa Kaimu's Thoughts

"If there's nothing else, you should go home quickly."

Yuta Kijima took a step forward, intending to go home. After all the commotion, he was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and all he wanted to do now was go home and lie down in bed.

"Eh? Oh dear!"

Kitagawa Kaimu followed Kijima Yuta with some surprise, her phoenix eyes wide as she looked left and right.

Is this the attitude you have after successfully saving yourself from a group of scumbags?

What's wrong with her? She completely ignores other men who try to chat her up.

A figure suddenly rushed up to Yuta Kijima and stopped. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have crashed into him.

He looked at the girl in front of him with some helplessness, wondering why she was still so lively and energetic after what had just happened. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Um... Kitagawa-san, aren't you afraid of running into what happened again?"

"I'm already very tired today, so please don't block my way..."

Kitagawa Kaimu paused for a moment, then looked up in surprise and said nervously, "No... I didn't mean to bother you, I just wanted to express my gratitude." After saying that, she bowed solemnly to Kijima Yuta.

Her chest heaved with each bow.

Yuta Kijima paused for a moment, realizing part of the reason why she had been harassed by that scumbag.

Seeing that she had finished expressing her gratitude, Yuta Kijima said softly, "I accept your thanks. You should try not to wander around outside so late in the future, and pay special attention to those dark and quiet alleys."

Having accepted her gratitude, he still felt he should remind her, since heroes don't always appear when danger strikes.

Kitagawa Kaimu scratched her head sheepishly and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Today I was going to a club meeting and didn't pay attention to the time. I was just thinking about taking a shortcut to get home sooner. I didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous thing."

"Thank goodness I met Kijima-san!" She stared at Kijima Yuta with bright, phoenix-like eyes.

"Yes, it's good that you're alright. Don't put yourself in dangerous situations in the future." Yuta Kijima nodded slightly.

After saying that, he planned to walk around Kitagawa Kaimu.

Kitagawa Kaimu was faster than him, stopping him anxiously and saying, "Wait! Wait! Kijima-san, could you leave me your contact information? I want to repay your kindness later!"

She bravely blocked Kijima Yuta's path, hoping to repay him later, since owing favors wasn't her style.

However, Yuta Kijima didn't rescue Kaimu Kitagawa for any reward; otherwise, he wouldn't have stepped forward in the first place.

Good deeds are hard to do, but they are worthwhile.

He was simply following his heart. After thinking it over, he said directly, "Kitagawa-kun, you don't need to think about repaying me. I was just doing what I should do."

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu didn't expect Kijima Yuta to be so clueless. Had she lost her appeal? After hesitating for a moment, she asked again, "Kijima-san, won't you even give me this one chance?"

After thinking about it, she was still quite confident in her own charm.

Since entering Zongwu High School, although her academic performance is not top-notch, she is considered a school beauty due to her good looks and excellent figure.

Unfortunately, Kijima Yuta wasn't really concerned about this matter. He wasn't the type to be swayed by beauty, so he immediately refused, saying, "How about this, since you want to repay me..."

He paused slightly, and Kitagawa Kaimu stared at him with wide eyes and curious ears.

"Then you should help other people in need from now on, so that we can pass on this strength."

After saying that, Yuta Kijima walked past the stunned Kaimu Kitagawa and left quickly.

"..."

Kitagawa Kaimu was still stunned. She was thinking that if Kijima Yuta made a terrible request, she could feel at ease not having to repay the favor. But she never expected that Kijima Yuta would make such a request.

Isn't this the same story I've read before?

Do you really think she's all looks and no brains?

"hateful!"

She stood there for a while, but Yuta Kijima had already walked far away.

Watching the receding, blurry figure, she murmured softly, "Private Toyonosaki Academy, huh..."

I, Kitagawa Kaimu, always repay kindness!

Having made up her mind, she turned and went home, but this time the road home was brightly lit.

……

Yuta Kijima hurried home, and as soon as he entered the room, he could smell the stuffy, musty odor.

He made up his mind to find a new place to stay over the weekend, threw his clothes into the washing machine and went into the bathroom, only then did he feel refreshed.

Soaking in the bathtub, he was finally able to properly observe his still slightly red fist.

He didn't hold back at all with that punch; it was a lesson for that scumbag.

A little while later, he came out of the bathroom shirtless, looking as if he had been reborn.

In island nations, houses typically have space for bathtubs, which is a reward for every hard-working laborer.

I picked up my phone; it was almost 9:30.

After briefly replying to Hui and the others' greetings, he lay down on the bed, intending to watch the news for a while before going to sleep.

When he clicked on the latest news, he paused for a moment, then lightly moved his finger to open the browser...

Self-defense skill lv1: 1/100

【Kendo Level 1: 1/100】

[Military Boxing lv1: 1/100]

The next morning, Yuta Kijima woke up on time, sleepily drew back the curtains, and the warm and gentle morning light shone through the clouds onto the earth.

Today, you can open the windows for ventilation when you go out.

Yawning, Yuta Kijima closed the door and headed to school.

Apart from the class's recognized good students, there was no one else in the classroom.

To his surprise, Aki Tomoya had arrived early as well.

He was writing something furiously at his desk.

"Rinya, you're here so early today?" Kijima Yuta asked with interest. You know, Aki Tomoya usually doesn't show up in the classroom this early unless he has a part-time job in the morning.

Aki Tomoya simply nodded without saying anything, his brows furrowing deeply.

Seeing that there was no response, Yuta Kijima was not angry. He calmly sat down, took out his phone, and browsed the self-defense techniques he had watched a lot of last night.

Last night's events served as a wake-up call for him: problems can be solved without force, but the force to solve them must be available.

He held his phone until just before class was about to start before finally putting it down.

Aki Tomoya stopped, rubbing his shoulder: "This is really troublesome..."

Yuta Kijima then patted him on the shoulder curiously and asked, "What's wrong? Tomoya, are you working so hard so early in the morning?"

"What else could it be? It's that planning proposal. Shiyu-senpai has been working on the plot of her new book lately. If I'm not ready soon, she won't have much time to help me write the script." Aki Tomoya shook his arm dejectedly.

Upon hearing Yuta Kijima's voice, a thoughtful yet excited glint appeared in his eyes.

Chapter 75 Kitagawa Kaimu's Assistance

"Yuta! I need you!"

"I'm sorry, Tomoya, I really can't write a script for your game."

"do not……"

Across from Tomoya Aki, Yuta Kijima helplessly raised his hand, indicating that he now needs to study painting every day and also take care of writing, so he has a lot to do.

"In addition, instead of looking for me here, you should use this time to work on your script. You need to understand that you are delaying the entire game's progress right now." Kijima Yuta explained the main reason for the problem to him.

Aki Tomoya hesitated for a moment, then did not continue to defend himself.

He understands, of course, but he just won't change.

This is a common problem for most people: they never really settle down and do things properly until the very last moment, and they keep putting it off until there's no time left to put it off.

All the excuses turned into a sigh, and Aki Tomoya left dejectedly.

Watching the departing figure, Kijima Yuta shook his head helplessly. Right now, Aki Tomoya's game development is a mess, and it's not anyone else's fault but the initiator's fault. He doesn't want to waste his energy on this now.

Since yesterday, Aki Tomo has been pestering him, hoping that he can fill in when Kasumigaoka Utaha is not around.

"An Yi looks quite dejected." A calm voice came from beside me.

Yuta Kijima turned his head to look at Megumi Kato beside him and shook his head, saying, "This is Tomoya's own problem. I can't help him. He should watch less anime and play less games at night."

Kato Megumi tilted her head and said in a flat tone, "Indeed, if things continue like this, even if Yuta is willing to help, it won't make a difference."

Yuta Kijima shrugged helplessly, and the two of them started walking towards the school gate.

"I wonder if this game can be completed by the summer exhibition," Kato Megumi said calmly.

Since all her friends are involved in ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games), she has some knowledge about this topic. There are still about three months until the Summer Comic Con, and she doesn't know if she will be able to finish the game.
