Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

What if this were actually drawn?

Then... then he must buy a few more copies to keep at home.

After thinking it over, he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a slightly sympathetic gaze, which made the other woman's forehead show question marks.

Eriri was still muttering to herself, so Yuta Kijima had to reach out and gently pat her shoulder to try and calm her down.

"What? The next part of the story is like this... Ah, it's Yuta?"

Eriri finally snapped out of her reverie about the doujinshi, but her voice still carried the lingering plot, and she accidentally blurted it out in front of the others, causing a faint blush to appear on her cheeks.

"Ahem, are you okay?"

Yuta Kijima coughed lightly, avoiding the explosive topic he had just heard, and changed the subject, saying, "If there's nothing else, shall we go to the seats in the auditorium outside and wait for their rehearsal?"

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Eriri nodded somewhat haltingly, after all, it was too embarrassing to be interrupted when she was brainstorming the plot of her doujinshi.

I wonder if Yuta heard what she was thinking just now.

Seeing this, Kijima Yuta nodded to Kato Megumi and said gently, "Megumi, let's go outside."

Kato Megumi nodded gently in response.

However, she was also thinking about Eriri's sudden question, "What's next in the plot?" Was Eriri also planning to write a play to criticize back?

"Then we'll head out first, senpai." Kijima Yuta looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "You guys should be starting soon, right?"

"Ah."

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly, looking at Eriri with curiosity. She had also heard what Eriri had said in response, and was now quite curious herself.

I never expected that the blonde-haired loser would start to fight back seriously.

Eriri walked past Kasumigaoka Utaha with her head down, not daring to look into her eyes.

Since we've already decided to draw her script, we won't hold it against the fat woman in black stockings for writing her into the play script.

Her mind was now racing with ideas, and for the first time she realized that a plump woman in black stockings was actually a perfect match for her humiliation series.

She even thought it could be published as a standalone book.

The three of them left the backstage, each lost in their own thoughts, leaving only Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting there, slowly swinging her beautiful legs.

……

Eriri only breathed a sigh of relief after she had completely left the backstage area and arrived at the side of the auditorium.

Now, let's see what you're going to do, Kasumigaoka Utaha. This is my territory, after all.

Yuta Kijima ignored Eriri, who was once again immersed in her own world, and glanced around the auditorium.

Because the drama club performance in the auditorium was scheduled for the afternoon, there were only a few scattered groups of people in the seats in front of the stage.

Judging from their attire, they were either students from the school who came out of curiosity or strangers who came in from outside.

Seeing that there were only a handful of people, Kijima Yuta thought for a moment and turned to Kato Megumi: "Let's sit in the front row. There aren't many people here anyway, and we can leave with Utaha-senpai after rehearsal."

"sure."

Kato Megumi blinked and said calmly.

Eriri's opinion was no longer important; she had completely lost her mind and was letting Kato Megumi pull her forward.

They might drag her to be sold and she still wouldn't come to her senses.

Yuta Kijima shook his head, and the person in front led the two slowly to the middle of the first row.

Just as he had arranged the chair and was about to sit down, he suddenly saw a familiar face in the back row of the auditorium.

"Hey?"

Chapter 137 Xia Laofei Remains Unperturbed

"Huh? That looks like Nakano Satsuki?"

"Why is she here?"

Yuta Kijima looked closely and realized that it was indeed Satsuki Nakano, whom he had seen that morning.

However, because the lights in the auditorium were off, Yuta Kijima couldn't get a good look at her outfit; it just looked a little different from what he remembered.

"What's wrong, Yuta?"

Kato Megumi, who was next to him, noticed that Kijima Yuta was staring blankly in the direction of the back row. She looked over curiously and saw that it was a cute girl. Her pink cheeks puffed up slightly and her tone carried a hint of reproach.

Yuta Kijima subconsciously turned around and saw Megumi Kato following his gaze. He quickly explained, "I feel like I saw a friend I met this morning, but it doesn't feel quite like them."

"Friends? Another cute girl that Yuta met somewhere?" Kato Megumi said with a hint of regret.

"No, no, it was this morning..."

……

"So she's a cute girl who's planning to transfer to our school?"

"Yes, she said she'd be enrolling at our school the week after the school festival." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kijima Yuta's forehead, but he didn't dwell on the beautiful girl Megumi mentioned.

He didn't even describe the other person's appearance.

"Huh? Yuta always seems to run into cute girls?" Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, her gaze seemingly unintentionally sweeping over Kijima Yuta's cheek, and said in a calm tone, "By the way, the girl in the back might actually be someone Yuta met this morning. Why don't you go and ask her to come and watch the performance together?"

"..."

Yuta Kijima's lips twitched slightly. Megumi really does care about this.

He hurriedly shook his head, "No, I only helped her this morning because she's now our classmate, but let's forget about it now."

"Is that so?" Kato Megumi turned her gaze back to the stage in front of her, her fingers gently twirling a strand of hair beside her ear.

Yuta Kijima froze, realizing that if he had agreed to Megumi's request, something bad might have happened.

This is his sixth sense.

"Speaking of which?" Kato Megumi suddenly moved closer to Kijima Yuta and asked lightly, "Is Eriri really alright? She's been talking about manga, humiliation, and shame since earlier?"

"She should be fine..." Yuta Kijima scratched his cheek. "She'll be back to normal once rehearsals start."

Kato Megumi nodded slightly, secretly labeling Eriri as someone not to be messed with.

Based on what Eriri said, she could roughly understand what Eriri's revenge was.

That's really scary, these production otaku.

Fortunately, Kasumigaoka Utaha came out from backstage shortly after.

After a quick glance around the seats, I walked directly to the other side and sat down on the other side of Yuta Kijima.

"Aren't you going to watch the rehearsal process, senior?" Yuta Kijima asked.

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked, her beautiful black-stockinged legs crossed as usual, and deliberately swayed in front of Kijima Yuta. She leaned back lazily in her chair and said softly, "Anyway, the most important point has been discovered, but there's no way to improve it at the moment, so let's leave it at that."

"Consider this rehearsal a special reward for the junior."

Yuta Kijima said, "Megumi and Eriri also helped out just now."

"Tsk." Senior Shiyu tilted her head back slightly, revealing her long, fair neck, and said in a languid tone, "Of course, it's also a reward for Kei-kun. As for Sawamura-kun... tsk!"

Is it contempt?

It was an absolutely contemptuous feeling.

Yuta Kijima didn't respond, feeling that speaking would only invite unnecessary trouble.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him with her phoenix eyes, then looked at Eriri, who was two seats away, and began to swing her beautiful legs slightly. "Is that loser planning to draw a doujinshi about me?"

"What?" Kijima Yuta was taken aback. "What are you talking about, Senpai?"

"Junior, stop pretending." Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I know what's going on in that little brain of a cricket-haired loser with only 1MB of brainpower."

"Ah~" She yawned softly, her breath sweet as orchids. "To be honest, I'm also quite curious to see what kind of drawing she'll do with my notebook."

Is this the composure of the upperclassman? To be able to say "look at my doujinshi" without batting an eye is absolutely devastating for Eriri.

Yuta Kijima looked at Eriri with pity. He had been feeling sorry for his senior before, but the situation had suddenly reversed.

"Then I think you can look forward to it." Kijima Yuta said with a strange expression. Since you've said so, I have nothing to hide anymore.

"Who knows, Eriri might release a manga volume just for you at this year's COMIC convention..."

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

It seems she underestimated the determination of the blonde woman who wanted revenge.

……

During the conversation, members of the drama club came out one after another to start setting up the stage.

"Alright, I'll let Sawamura off the hook this time." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the stage and said softly, "But? Junior, haven't you finished reading the manuscript I asked you to look at yet?"

"I'll have a whole week of free time after I finish what I'm doing, so I hope my junior can do it as soon as possible."

“Um… I’ll watch it when I get home tonight,” said Yuta Kijima.

After that, everyone fell silent until the opening prelude began to play on the dark stage.

The next moment, the stage lights illuminated a spot.

The story begins with the prince in distress.

Yuta Kijima had never actually seen a play in person; his knowledge of plays was limited to videos he'd stumbled upon on his phone. Now, he was watching a play written by his senior, Utaha.

It's quite nice from a sensory perspective.

Then most of the stage was illuminated, revealing a uniquely styled backdrop and exquisite costumes.

Then, with the background audio providing narration, the whole story began.

I won't go into the details of the plot, but Yuta Kijima also recognized Utaha's literary talent, making her the undisputed number one talented woman in Toyonosaki.

The audience was completely absorbed in the story until... the appearance of the blonde princess.

"Hey~ It seems my character design is pretty good. I was originally thinking of inviting Sawamura to act in it..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the elegant princess on the stage and spoke in a teasing tone.

However, because the commotion on stage was too loud, only Yuta Kijima, who was standing next to her, heard his senior's joke.

At this moment, he pretended not to hear, but couldn't help but complain about his senior's perverse sense of humor.
