Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Yuta Kijima.

"Rinya, I went to bed a little late last night. I'll take a nap first. Remember to wake me up when class starts later." As soon as he saw Aki Tomoya open his mouth, he knew he had to stop him, otherwise there would definitely be no peace and quiet this morning. So he immediately found an excuse to quiet Tomoya down.

"Oh...oh, okay, I'll wake you up in class later." Seeing that Kijima Yuta seemed very tired, Aki Tomoya wasn't oblivious and turned to start doing yesterday's homework. After all, he had to work after school and cook dinner when he got home, so he only had time to do his homework at school.

……

Seeing that Aki Tomoya finally turned back to do his own thing, Kijima Yuta breathed a sigh of relief.

He's not very good at dealing with overly enthusiastic people yet.

Yuta Kijima rubbed his nose. "Never mind, let's deal with the current issue first."

As for his daily homework, he hasn't brought it home to do since he reached level 3 in all subjects. He's now considered one of the top students in the school.

Let's aim for first place in the grade by the end of the semester.

Yuta Kijima lowered his head, rested his forehead on the edge of the table, and took out his phone.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the notification that there was a new message.

Has Hui-chan finally forgiven herself?

He opened the chat interface with Hui.

"No, I'm not angry. I don't care that you ignored me for so long yesterday."

"I didn't check my phone this morning either, don't overthink it."

The post was followed by an image of a humanoid rabbit with its arms crossed and its mouth pouting.

Upon seeing this, Yuta Kijima laughed.

Hui is such a lovely girl; it seems she has already forgiven herself.

How come I didn't notice before that Hui also has a tsundere side?

"Hui-chan, crying.JPG".

"I have deeply realized my mistake. Please forgive me, Lord Hui, who is so understanding."

"Kneeling in worship" (JPG)

How would you react to such a smooth little combo?

Yuta Kijima really enjoyed this kind of scene between him and Megumi; he found it very interesting.

A girlfriend who occasionally acts a little temperamental is even cuter!

"Hmm... I know you just quit your job at the convenience store and have to prepare for the future, so you've been very busy lately. But no matter how busy you are, you should at least send me a message occasionally. What if you collapse from exhaustion?"

How could such an understanding girl be my girlfriend!

Once I have sufficient financial resources, I must meet her in person and bring her back to my home.

"Don't worry, my wife, I believe my light novel will be a huge hit!"

"You promised you'd come to my first in-person autograph session!"

Yuta Kijima happily shared his plans with Megumi, looking forward to the day he would meet her. He wanted to know what kind of girl this gentle and easy-going person was.

Well... actually, I wasn't worried about what would happen if the meeting failed, or if the scenario circulating online would occur.

Will I be given the "friend zone" card later? I simply can't bring myself to be able to have a great online conversation and then reject someone in real life.

We can only take one step at a time.

"Okay, Kijima-kun, when your light novel is released, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. I will definitely support you. [Go Kijima!]"

"I have class soon, so I'll have to go now."

"Okay, me too, let's talk after class."

After putting down his phone, Yuta Kijima began to think about the various possibilities when he would meet Megumi in person.

Chapter 9 TAKI

The pace of schooling in the island nation is very fast, but because the original owner's grades were never very good, he was always a marginal figure in the class and had a pretty easy time every day.

Unsurprisingly, another morning passed by easily.

Classes end at 12:10 PM, which is lunchtime. Classes resume at 2 PM, and usually, after two classes, school ends. The rest of the time is for club activities.

There are quite a few students who don't participate in club activities and just go home; they are known as the "Going Home Club." I and Aki Tomoya belong to this club.

Yuta Kijima had no intention of joining any clubs. His previous self was a loner who had always been alone since the start of the school year, and now he was even less likely to join any clubs; he hated all that trouble.

More than a month has passed, and I have a pretty good understanding of the basics.

With the system in place, all that's needed is stable development; there's no need to create unnecessary trouble for yourself.

"Yuta!" The morning classes had just ended, and Kijima Yuta was about to go to the school store to buy a couple of packs of snacks to tide him over. He had been too busy to prepare a lunchbox yesterday.

Unexpectedly, just as he got up, Aki Tomo caught up with him.

"Rinya, what's wrong?" Aki Tomoya is relatively quiet during class, which is why Kijima Yuta can finish his morning classes without much effort.

“Let’s go eat bento together.” Aki Tomoya happily waved the bento in his hand and pulled Kijima Yuta to eat with him. “By the way, let me tell you about episode 8 of the isekai bricklaying show that aired last night. It was so interesting.”

Yuta Kijima didn't refuse, thinking that he seemed too isolated in other people's eyes, and having a friend wasn't a bad thing.

He just told Tomoya to wait for him in the unused clubroom while he went to buy some bread for lunch.

After saying goodbye to Tomoya Aki, Yuta Kijima arrived at the cafeteria convenience store.

Just a few minutes of casual conversation with Aki Tomoya had already caused a huge crowd to gather at the entrance of the convenience store.

Unable to squeeze in anytime soon, Kijima Yuta could only wait a few minutes at the edge of the crowd; he didn't want to try to squeeze through such a large human wall.

While waiting, Yuta Kijima took out his phone and started chatting with his lovely girlfriend.

"Hui-chan, have you eaten yet? Today we can only buy bread again, and it's so crowded that we can't get in at all."

"Kijima-kun... I've always told you to bring your own lunchbox; it's more convenient and healthier, but you just won't listen! Humph~"

Upon seeing Hui's reply, Kijima Yuta smiled; it felt really good to be cared for by others.

"I couldn't help it, I've been busy since I got home yesterday and haven't prepared today's lunchbox."

"Tomorrow, I will definitely bring my own lunch to school. I will take a picture of the lunch I made and show it to you so you can see my cooking skills."

"Hui-chan, there are fewer people now, I'm going to buy some bread first, otherwise it will be troublesome if there isn't any later. Let's talk later."

Seeing that the crowd at the convenience store had dispersed, Yuta Kijima decided to squeeze in and buy some bread, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to buy any, and there wasn't much good food to eat at the cafeteria now.

"Okay, then go ahead. Honestly, don't work so hard at night in the future."

Yuta Kijima touched his nose, feeling like he was being manipulated even before they had met.

Surprisingly, it's not bad.

…………

After buying the bread, Kijima Yuta arrived at the clubroom, the place where Aki Tomoya had previously invited him to eat together. The two of them usually cleaned it, so the environment looked very tidy.

I remember Aki Tomoya saying that he would find a few more people to form a club, apply for this classroom as a base, and come here every day to eat lunch, take a nap, watch anime and play games.

However, his reputation among his classmates was not good, and he was considered an outsider in social circles, so the matter was left unresolved.

When Yuta Kijima arrived, Tomoya Aki had already eaten half of his meal and was posting his daily blog content on his phone while watching the video.

What Yuta Kijima admires is that Tomoya Aki has his own pride and ambition; he doesn't use his blog for advertising and is determined to turn his account into a forum where everyone can benefit.

He had originally planned to have Aki Tomoya take a look at his light novel, and if Aki Tomoya wasn't satisfied, he definitely wouldn't be willing to help promote it.

If Aki Tomoya could promote his work on his blog, it would directly lay the foundation for a fan base ahead of time, as Aki Tomoya's TAKI brand already enjoys considerable popularity in this regard.

Seeing Aki Tomoya writing with great enthusiasm, Kijima Yuta went over and patted him on the shoulder, saying in a consultative tone, "Tomoya, I'm planning to submit a light novel for publication. Could you take a look and give me some suggestions?"

Interrupted from his rhythm, Aki Tomoya heard what Kijima Yuta said, scratched his head, and said righteously, "Sure, but if your light novel is too bad, Yuta, I won't promote it on my website."

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you think it's not good enough, I definitely won't say anything. And rest assured, the light novel I write will definitely surprise you."

"It's settled then. I'll write it in the next few days and then email it to you."

Upon hearing this, Aki Tomoya excitedly said, "Yuta, send it to me when you're done writing. I never thought you'd be the first among us to go from being a consumer otaku to a creative otaku. I really hope I can be one of you someday."

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima was taken aback. "I'm not a consumerist otaku either."

At least they don't have the same spending power as Tomoya Aki.

Yuta Kijima shook his head, not wanting to disturb Tomoya Aki as he continued to fund his website.

After finishing their meal, neither of them disturbed the other. Kijima Yuta planned to catch up on some sleep, as he hadn't been paying much attention in his afternoon classes and needed to be alert during class.

……

When Kijima Yuta woke up ten minutes before class, he saw Aki Tomoya still holding his phone and typing away.

You have to admire people who create things out of love.

Later, urged by Yuta Kijima, Tomoya Aki reluctantly put down his phone and returned to the classroom together.

When Yuta Kijima entered the classroom, he saw only a few students in the room, indicating that most students did not want to stay in the classroom at noon.

The classroom was not full of students until the bell was about to ring. Yuta Kijima also took out his textbook and looked out the window to pass the time.

If it weren't for the fact that typing on his phone during class was too blatant, he would have taken out his phone long ago.

Seeing Aki Tomoya nodding up and down in front of him, Kijima Yuta was speechless.

He clearly works more than others, yet he doesn't take a nap at noon. Is he planning to sleep in class?

This person really doesn't respect the teacher.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the bald, middle-aged teacher on the podium spotted Aki Tomoya.

The teacher suddenly shouted, "An Yi! If you haven't had enough sleep, go home and sleep; otherwise, stand up right now!"

However, Aki Tomoya, who was in front of Kijima Yuta, was fast asleep and didn't hear the teacher's words, still keeping his head down.

Yuta Kijima saw Tomoya Aki mutter something, then slightly turn his head away, droop his head, and actually start sleeping with his arm as a pillow.

The classroom was immediately filled with laughter and cheerful chatter, waking up the other students who were dozing off, creating a lively and cheerful scene.

Except the teacher wasn't very happy.
