Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

After Kasumigaoka Utaha returned, a voluptuous and beautiful woman by the hot spring asked her a question.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, still reeling from the earlier incident, was startled when she heard those words.

"Auntie, soaking in hot springs for too long is actually bad for your health!" Kasumigaoka Utaha said irritably, which could be considered a piece of advice.

As for this knowledge, I just learned it from Yuta Kijima.

"Soaking in hot springs for too long can increase the stress on your heart, and the high alkaline content in hot springs can easily accelerate skin dryness..."

Machida Sonoko ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha, comfortably leaning against the edge of the hot spring pool with a neatly folded towel on her head, and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don't come here to bathe often. It would be too tiring to be so particular when I come here occasionally."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "..."

“Shiyu-nee is right, I’m already feeling a little dizzy.” Nishimiya Yuzuru agreed, then pulled her sister up, “We’ll go out and rest for a while, then come back in for a soak later.”

"Remember to wear proper clothes, the outside is a common lounge, be careful of that perverted junior." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, a hint of barely perceptible regret showing on her pretty face.

Never take chances, no matter when or where.

"...Yuta-nii isn't that kind of person, is he..." Nishimiya Yuzuru said cautiously.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, without looking up, said, "Let's be careful, after all, teenagers at this age are the most dangerous."

They are all male animals that are prone to estrus...

"Eh?"

As the Nishimiya sisters left, Machida Sonoko removed the towel from her head and placed it behind her head. Then, she crossed her long, jade-like legs and swayed them in the spring water. Looking at the ripples in the water, she asked curiously, "Did our Kijima-sensei offend Shizuka again?"

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed not to hear Machida Sonoko's words, and sat by the hot spring pool, splashing the water with her toes.

"Speaking of which, Kijima is really something else. Not only is he amazing himself, but he can also guide Yuzuru-chan to write another light novel, and it looks to be of very high quality."

Thinking of Nishimiya Shoko, Machida Sonoko felt a little down. It seemed that the child's hearing impairment was quite serious. Fortunately, Yuzuru-chan's light novel would be released soon, as long as things went smoothly.

This should greatly improve their family's financial situation.

She didn't notice that the cute, fair foot that was paddling the water paused slightly...

This was an argument she had never considered.

In a flash, Kasumigaoka Utaha's thoughts were drawn to Nishimiya Shoko, the older sister of Nishimiya Yuzuru.

If it's really what she thinks, then everything makes sense.

However, she couldn't draw that conclusion definitively, since there were precedents of people becoming light novel authors, even though they were junior high school students.

You know, there are rumors right now that a very young light novel author is active in the industry.

If she remembered correctly, it was someone named Yamada Elf.

However, this idea is also a blind spot. I'll take the opportunity to trick my juniors properly in the future.

If it's true, then we've got a handle on them.

Chapter 123 School Festival Preparations

At 9:11 PM, Yuta Kijima got off the bus.

"Then we'll trouble Machida-san to take Shoko and the others home."

"Don't worry! I'll get the nitrate sauce home safely," Machida Sonoko said earnestly.

Yuta Kijima nodded, his gaze slightly shifting towards Utaha-senpai by the car window…

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha also raised her head, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Please be careful, senior."

……

Silent all night.

When Kijima Yuta arrived at the classroom the next day, he immediately saw Aki Tomoya looking dejected in front of him.

That's right, he only cast one vote for the activity he proposed. Although the other projects were still far from the final result, he was still somewhat disappointed.

Yuta Kijima noticed Tomoya Aki's gaze and his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he's coming for me.

There was nothing we could do about it; it was obvious that the class activities had already been decided by the class monitor and a group of girls at the very beginning.

"Yuta, even you didn't vote for me..."

Aki Tomoya suddenly jumped up from his seat and stood in front of him, complaining in a resentful tone.

"Rinya, you've seen it too. Apart from the divination event, there's basically no chance for anything else... Whether I vote for you or not, the result will be the same."

Yuta Kijima sat back in his seat and earnestly began to speak.

"It seems that no one has truly appreciated the beauty of ACG! Next time, I'll definitely make sure more people agree with my ideas!"

Aki Tomoya adjusted his glasses and said with a determined look in his eyes.

As far as he knew, there were many ACG enthusiasts in the class, but they were unwilling to show it. This must be because everyone cared too much about how others viewed them. He was determined to correct these misconceptions.

There's nothing wrong with liking ACG, but boldly showcasing it is the right way!

Yuta Kijima was not going to agree with Tomoya Aki's idea, and seeing that he was getting more and more agitated, he quickly stopped him.

"Rinya! The homeroom teacher has come in. She's probably going to arrange the work for the next week. Go back to your seat. Let's talk about ACG later."

…………

"Everyone, please be quiet."

"Please listen patiently as I explain the relevant matters for the next week."

Yuta Kijima watched quietly as the homeroom teacher walked up to the podium, while Tomoya Aki tactfully returned to his seat.

"Here's the thing, the Toyosaki Academy School Culture Festival is next week, and the class representative has already told me about the activities our class will be holding. The fortune-telling room is a very interesting idea, and I think everyone is looking forward to it. So, the class representative will be fully responsible for the preparations for the class activities, and the other class committee members also need to be diligent and responsible..."

After a while, the homeroom teacher finished explaining all the tasks and left the classroom.

The classroom became noisy again.

At this moment, the class monitor immediately returned to the podium.

"Please be patient, everyone. We have limited time, so let's not waste it!"

"This is a class activity, and the activity was chosen by vote, so I hope everyone can participate actively."

Yuta Kijima didn't say anything. Although he had no objection to actively participating in class activities, he would wait and see what everyone else chose. Once all the tasks were assigned, he could slack off.

"Okay, we already have girls here who have provided the fortune teller's outfit. Next, we need to prepare the classroom decorations."

The class monitor marked each item on the table.

Actually, if the divination room were to be officially opened, it wouldn't need many students for maintenance; all that would be needed is to arrange staff to be on duty each day.

Unlike maid cafes, it doesn't require a lot of people to be present at all times.

"Then you guys go and prepare the decorations. If you don't know anything, you can ask me. Remember to keep the receipts, we'll reimburse you later."

"You are responsible for visiting the guests' dessert and beverage purchases."

……

The class monitor is indeed the class monitor; everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yuta Kijima remained silent, quietly awaiting his work assignment.

After a while, I heard the class monitor call my name.

"Kishima-kun, could you please go to the school's equipment room and get some partitions left over from previous activities? The classroom needs to be properly divided into areas."

Baffle? Although it's hard work, it's just a matter of one trip for him.

This can be considered a task that solves the problem once and for all.

Thinking of this, Yuta Kijima responded.

"Alright, the tasks have been assigned, everyone, let's start working on our tasks seriously. Try to get the classroom decorated before school ends today, otherwise, we'll have to postpone our dismissal."

After the class monitor finished assigning tasks, the quiet classroom suddenly became bustling with activity.

Those assigned to the same task gathered together to discuss how to proceed.

"Damn it, I have to go out with Shimada and the others to buy props... I'm not that familiar with them."

Aki Tomoya slumped onto the table, groaning weakly. He had practically no friends at school besides his clubmates, and now having to go out with them was pure torture.

Yuta Kijima opened his mouth, about to say a few words of comfort. Just then, a thin male classmate approached Tomoya Aki and whispered, "Aki-kun? We're about to leave. Are you ready?"

Aki Tomoya immediately looked up from his desk. "Ready? Let's go."

You can only complain to friends you know; if your classmates who are going shopping with you hear it, you're doomed.

As Aki Tomoya walked away with the male classmate, he turned back and gave him a look that seemed ready to die.

"..."

Yuta Kijima shook his head, indicating that he was powerless to help.

Fortunately, he was one of the tallest in the class and had a good physique, otherwise this job wouldn't have been assigned to him.

After most of the people who had gone out on missions had left the classroom, Yuta Kijima got up to go to the equipment room in the teaching building to move equipment.

The equipment storage room is located in a relatively secluded corner on the first floor of the teaching building.

Normally, apart from people piling up useless equipment there, almost no one wants to go there.

Walking down the corridor leading to the equipment room.

He suddenly saw a bob-haired girl walking slowly ahead with her head down. Was she growing her hair out? She looked different than before.

Yuta Kijima took two steps at a time to walk to the girl's side, tilting his head slightly to look at her. "Megumi, have you been assigned some kind of mission?"

"Eh?"

Kato Megumi looked at Kijima Yuta, who had suddenly appeared beside her, raised her hand to gently smooth a strand of hair behind her ear, and said softly, "No, it's just that everyone in the classroom is busy with their own work right now, and there's nothing I can do to help, so I came out for a walk."

The activity their class is going to hold is on-site portrait drawing, which is one of the simplest activities to participate in during the entire school festival.

There wasn't much to prepare, and apart from the student in charge of drawing, everyone else was just doing odd jobs.

And because she already had a weak presence in the class, she was naturally overlooked...
