Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Kato Megumi nodded and said calmly, "Okay."

Just a moment ago, Kitagawa Kaimu was intently looking at the photos on her phone, which Kato Megumi had just sent her, and she was admiring them with a delighted expression.

Hearing Yuta Kijima say that he wanted to eat, he suddenly felt the emptiness in his stomach. He put one hand on his hip and said excitedly, "Today is over! I know a barbecue restaurant nearby with lots of good reviews. Let's go there quickly."

When she chose to come to this amusement park, she had already done her research on the area, so she naturally knew about the good places to eat nearby.

Kitagawa was even able to walk ahead and lead the way.

The three walked to a nearby commercial street and eventually arrived at a newly opened restaurant.

"This is the place," Kitagawa Kaimu said, pointing to the sign and tilting her head to introduce it.

Yuta Kijima looked up and noticed that although the yakiniku restaurant was newly opened, it was bustling with customers. He wondered if it was a new hotspot popularized by food bloggers. The prices were reasonable, generally within the normal range, and not at all rip-offs.

"I want this... this... and a special seafood fried rice. Hui-chan, Yuta, would you like one?" Kitagawa Kaimu asked them, quickly ticking off items on the menu.

"I don't want it." Yuta Kijima shook his head.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said lightly, "Can I try some of Haimeng's later? I probably can't finish just one serving of fried rice."

"Of course!"

Kitagawa Kaimu happily said that her favorite food is fried rice. Whenever she sees fried rice outside, she can't help but want to try it. She often pairs fried rice with all sorts of other ingredients.

The three chatted aimlessly. Kitagawa Kaimu sat next to Kato Megumi, sometimes whispering to her and sometimes glancing at Kijima Yuta across from them.

"Alright, we can start baking now."

After the waiter brought out all the dishes, it was time for the three of them to start cooking themselves.

"Let's see who can grill the best meat!" Kitagawa Kaimu then issued another challenge, though he didn't specify what the prize would be.

Yuta Kijima, who was grilling beef, glanced at her.

Don't think that grilling meat is just a matter of randomly grilling it until it's cooked. In the eyes of a master chef, there is a lot of knowledge involved. With his current level 5 skill, he can precisely control the heating time of each side, plus the proportion of specific spices.

The outcome of this competition is already obvious.

"Gulu..."

As Kitagawa Kaimu ate the perfectly cooked grilled meat on her chopsticks, she looked at the tempting piece of grilled meat that Kijima Yuta was holding, and the beef in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

Just as Yuta Kijima put the exquisite grilled meat into his mouth and swallowed it with satisfaction, he suddenly saw a pair of big, watery eyes staring at him.

"What's wrong, Haimeng?" Yuta Kijima asked.

"Since it's a competition, of course you have to grill a piece of beef for me and Megumi," Kitagawa Haimu said righteously, swallowing hard.

Looking at the seemingly glowing roasted meat in his hand, she felt a complete lack of taste in her mouth.

Kato Megumi's eyes were also fixed on that side, and she muttered to herself, "I'd also like to try Yuta's cooking."

Yuta Kijima nodded. Since it was a competition, he had to let them taste his cooking skills.

……

"Yuta, hurry up, my stomach is about to burst!" Kitagawa Kaimu stared intently at the grilled meat in his hands, urging him on.

"..."

Yuta Kijima placed the freshly grilled beef onto her plate.

Kitagawa Kaimu immediately ate a bite of seafood fried rice with the beef.

"Wow! This is such a feast!" She felt that this was the best moment of her life.

Kijima Yuta: "..."

He turned to look at Kato Megumi, who was waiting, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Megumi, this time it's your portion that's being grilled."

Kato Megumi smiled and said, "It's alright. I didn't expect to trouble Yuta again."

Yuta Kijima responded with a smile, but inwardly he felt utterly helpless.

Things took a bit of an unexpected turn of events. So far, apart from the first few slices of beef he grilled, he hasn't touched his chopsticks at all.

However, seeing Kitagawa Kaimu wolfing down his food, he felt quite gratified; no chef would dislike enthusiastic diners.

"Yuta, try this, I baked it..."

Yuta Kijima looked up and saw a pair of chopsticks holding grilled meat extended in front of him.

Kato Megumi gently pushed the chopsticks toward Kijima Yuta's mouth. "I saw you've been grilling meat for us, Yuta. I think you must be hungry too. Although it's not as good as what you grilled, but... would you like to try some?"

"..."

Yuta Kijima thought for a moment, then leaned in and took a bite: "Thanks, Megumi."

After seeing Yuta Kijima swallow, Keisai Kato put his chopsticks back down and set them aside.

Hmm, it's a new pair of chopsticks.

“Hmm…” Kitagawa Kaimu paused for a moment, “Yeah! Yuta, you haven’t tried our grilled meat yet.” With that, she picked up a piece of grilled meat in front of her and placed it in front of Kijima Yuta’s mouth.

"Try it!" she said happily, her starry eyes twinkling.

“Uh…” Kijima Yuta paused, then reached forward slightly to put the chopsticks in his mouth. “Thank you, Haimeng.”

"But it definitely won't taste as good as Yuta's," Kitagawa Kaimu said, scratching her head sheepishly.

"Fried rice! I want another bowl of fried rice!"

She quickly shoveled the remaining fried rice into her bowl, and... chopsticks...

Chapter 88 Yinglili

The three of them walked out of the restaurant.

"Wow, I'm so full," Kitagawa Haimu said, rubbing her stomach contentedly.

Looking at Kitagawa Kaimu's flat stomach, Kijima Yuta was completely baffled. He had only ever heard of girls having a stomach specifically for desserts, but he had never heard of one for grilled meat.

Kitagawa Kaimu noticed his gaze and said shyly, "Yuta, don't stare at my stomach..."

Kijima Yuta awkwardly looked away and said embarrassedly, "I just find it strange that Haimeng ate so much but it feels like she ate it all for nothing."

"What?!" Kitagawa Kaimu puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "I didn't eat for nothing, it's just that my constitution doesn't easily show it. Besides, I'm on a diet."

Finally, he added, "It's because your cooking skills are so good."

It's only today; she wouldn't normally eat this much at once.

Kato Megumi then expressed her gratitude, saying calmly, "Yuta's cooking is really good. Thank you for your hard work today, Yuta."

Later on, Yuta Kijima was constantly grilling meat for Megumi Kato and Kaimu Kitagawa, and it's fair to say that all the beef he grilled ended up in their stomachs.

"It's alright," Yuta Kijima said. "As long as everyone has fun."

"That's enough for today, let's take the tram home."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded in satisfaction and replied, "It would be perfect if I could go home and get a good night's sleep."

"Um"

Kato Megumi nodded slightly.

Yuta Kijima and his two companions walked to a nearby tram stop and boarded the tram together.

Because everyone was exhausted from playing all day, no one chatted after getting on the tram; everyone was focused on recovering their energy.

……

"Yuta, get some rest when you get back."

When they reached the crossroads where they were to part ways, Kato Megumi calmly gave instructions to Kijima Yuta.

As for Kitagawa Kaimu, she said goodbye to them after the train arrived at the station. Seeing her tired appearance, Kijima Yuta specifically reminded her to be careful.

"Okay, Huiye, go home early and remember to be careful."

"Good."

Watching Kato Megumi's disappearing figure, Kijima Yuta also started walking home.

Everything that happened today was quite unexpected for him.

"Hmm... I'm going to go learn to draw from Eriri tomorrow." Yuta Kijima thought about his plans for tomorrow.

He touched his lips, seemingly lost in thought.

Before we knew it, it was 7:30. The sky had darkened, and a black curtain gradually enveloped the earth.

Yuta Kijima had just gotten home and taken a sip of water.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone.

"Machida-san, do you know any good rental agencies?"

He had been thinking about moving to a new house for a while, but various things had kept delaying it. If he went to Eriri's house to learn to draw tomorrow, he should have enough time in the morning.

I'll use this afternoon to look at apartments. If Eriri has a lot of tasks tomorrow, I'll just take it home to draw and give it to Eriri on Monday.

A short while later, the phone's notification light came on.

"Is Professor Kijima planning to move to a new place?"

"I have several good agencies here, Mr. Kijima, please wait for me."

As an editor at a publishing house, she often helps the authors she's in charge with trivial matters. She has a wide range of knowledge, and introducing rental agencies is already a very simple task for her.

"Alright, Mr. Kijima, the accounts I recommended to you are all reputable real estate agents."

"You can say that I recommended them, and they won't rip you off."

“Okay, thank you Machida-san,” Kijima Yuta replied.

"Haha, it's okay. Remember to treat us to a party after you move to your new house, Kijima-sensei!"

"no problem."

……

After being introduced to several real estate agents by Machida Sonoko, Kijima Yuta started talking to them.

Although it was quite late, they, as intermediaries, didn't care. As long as there were clients with needs, it was common for them to even get up in the middle of the night to work.

He eventually finalized a deal with a real estate agent who met his criteria, securing several decent-looking apartments and agreeing on a time and place to meet the following afternoon.
