Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Yuta Kijima stared blankly at the girl in front of him. It seemed she didn't have twin martial souls. She still had the same aloofness as when they first met.

He nodded. "Then I'll take my leave."

Having said that, he started walking.

Seeing the girl in front of her so decisive, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately bit her lip, unconsciously increasing the pressure on her hand.

"Meow~ Meow meow~"

Feeling the pressure from her body, the little kitten in her arms let out a timid meow, its voice revealing fear. Its soft paws tried to break free from her embrace, but due to the vast difference in size, it could only helplessly meow.

Upon hearing the cry, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately realized her mistake and quickly changed her position, holding the kitten in her arms.

At this moment, she finally made a decision, and immediately opened her mouth slightly, her tone tense: "Wait...wait!"

Although she really loves cats, she can't adopt one. Her sister and mother might visit from time to time, and if they found out she had a kitten, her source of income for living alone would definitely be cut off.

By then, it won't just be little kittens wandering the streets; there will be another "meow meow" too.

"?" Yuta Kijima looked over in surprise.

"Can...can you adopt this kitten?" Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment before finally asking. Seemingly worried that he would refuse, she immediately added, "It can stay at your house for the time being, and I will be responsible for all the kitten's living expenses!"

Chapter 149 Is there such a good thing?

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a rare sense of unease. She knew the request sounded strange, but whenever she looked down and saw the kitten's big, watery eyes, she couldn't bear it.

Yuta Kijima scratched his head and asked, "Is Yukinoshita-san right?"

"May I ask why you would make such a... such a strange request?"

His feelings were very complicated. He was surprised and curious at the same time. What was the deal with this seemingly aloof girl in front of him?

Putting aside the strange feeling I had when I heard this request.

If you have the ability to pay all the costs of adopting a kitten, then why are you letting me raise this kitten?

Could this be a new honey trap tactic?

Thinking of this, Yuta Kijima immediately became more vigilant. Could it be that the island nation has developed a new scam?

"..."

Seeing that Yuta Kijima asked the question without hesitation, Yukino Yukinoshita was speechless.

Indeed, even a normal person would be suspicious of such a strange request. This was a big challenge for her, as she didn't usually like to communicate with people much. But after glancing at the kitten in her arms again...

She exhaled softly and began to explain, this time in a calmer tone.

“My family doesn’t like me having a cat… but if this kitten is left here unattended, I don’t know how long it will survive, so I was thinking, why don’t you adopt this kitten?”

Yuta Kijima didn't really object to having a cat, but this request still felt strange.

If you don't want to keep it, someone else will definitely adopt it if you leave it here. Why are you asking me for help?

He wouldn't dare agree to the request so easily without giving a reasonable explanation.

Even if you're a cute and pretty girl, it won't work.

Yuta Kijima quickly pointed out the blind spots in the whole problem one by one.

The latter was not surprised upon hearing this. A faint hint of approval flashed across his narrow eyes. It seemed he wasn't one of those idiots who would freeze in their tracks and stop thinking the moment they saw her.

That way, she could feel at ease handing the kitten over to him.

She explained her reasoning: "The management of this apartment is very strict. If the manager sees this kitten, it will definitely be thrown into the trash heap, and then it will really have no chance of survival."

Even if they are lucky enough to become stray cats, it is very difficult for them to survive.

Long ago, the island nation enacted laws banning the keeping of stray animals and established corresponding "owner responsibility" laws. If, unfortunately, the authorities catch them, they are usually sent to shelters for euthanasia.

It's safe to say that if you don't take good care of this cat the moment you see it, you might never see it again.

As she spoke, she kept stroking the kitten's back.

"As for why I want you to raise this kitten, firstly, because we live very close by, it's convenient for me to observe the kitten's health condition; secondly, I also really like cats... if we live close by, I can take better care of it."

"That's why I'm willing to pay your fees."

At this point, Yukino Yukinoshita even stretched out her slender fingers and gently scratched the cat's chin. The cat's adorable expression melted her heart.

If she had said all that and the boy still wasn't willing, then she would have to spend more money to find him a pet shop, but she wouldn't be able to visit him as often.

Just as she was pondering this, she suddenly heard Yuta Kijima say, "In that case, let me adopt it."

"real!?"

Snow falls under the sky, a sight to behold with joy.

Yuta Kijima nodded: "Anyway, I'm pretty free most of the time, so adopting a cat would be a good way for me to pass the time, but..."

"However?" Yukino Yukinoshita immediately looked at him warily. If Yuta Kijima made any inappropriate request at this moment, she would not hesitate to call the police on charges of harassment and use her family's influence to make him have an unforgettable experience inside.

Thinking this, she unconsciously reached one hand into her pocket and slowly picked up her phone.

"?" Kijima Yuta looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, whose body suddenly tensed up, with some confusion. Although puzzled, he still said, "But you don't need to pay. I have enough money to take care of the kitten."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief and quietly let go of the phone she was holding in her pocket.

"Uh... Mu... Mu..."

"Yuta Kijima, you can just call me Kijima."

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little embarrassed because she hadn't paid attention to his self-introduction at all, and now that she needed his help, she didn't know what to call him. Fortunately, Yuta Kijima noticed her predicament and kindly introduced himself again.

She nodded and said, "Kishima-san, since I've made a promise, I will keep it. So you don't need to say anything more. I'll order the necessary supplies for the cat and have them delivered to your house later."

Yuta Kijima was immediately taken aback. Is it really that good?

However, since he didn't have to spend any money and could get the cat for free, he had no reason to refuse such a good thing.

Yuta Kijima immediately nodded in agreement and said, "I need to go buy some groceries now. If possible, you can take the cat to your house first, and I'll pick it up when I get home."

“It’s nothing.” Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. “I’m taking the cat to the nearby pet store for a check-up and to buy some supplies it needs.”

"Um……"

Since she already had her own ideas, Yuta Kijima agreed with them.

……

"You don't need me to go to the pet store with you, right?" At the entrance of the apartment building, Yuta Kijima looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was holding a cat with a doting expression.

Upon hearing his question, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately regained her usual cool demeanor and said calmly, "No need, Kijima-kun, you can take care of your own business. I can handle this myself."

"I will have the store staff deliver all the cat supplies I buy to your home, as long as you can receive them in person."

“Okay.” Upon hearing this standard answer, Yuta Kijima nodded.

This girl is really strange. Am I not even as good as a kitten?

The way they look at me is completely different from how they look at the cat...

Shaking his head, he glanced once more at the figure that was gradually disappearing into the crowd, and finally set off for the nearest fresh food supermarket.

I had clearly given plenty of time to prepare in advance, so how did this strange thing drag it out until now?

Could the little witch at school really be something special?

"Let me think... tempura, chicken wings..."

"Hmm...I wonder if the kitten has been weaned yet, and if it can eat dried fish now?"

Chapter 150 The Meticulous Kitagawa

Unexpectedly, it was Kitagawa Kaimu who arrived ahead of schedule.

When Yuta Kijima stepped out of the elevator carrying the groceries he had bought, he saw Kaimu Kitagawa happily playing with the cat in Yukino Yukinoshita's arms.

Upon seeing Yuta Kijima appear, Kitagawa exclaimed with delight, "Yuta!"

"When did you arrive?" Yuta Kijima nodded. "Why didn't you call me? Otherwise, I could have come back sooner."

"Haha, I've only been here a short while!" Kitagawa Kaimu said, his face full of excitement at encountering something new. "Just as I was about to make a call, I saw Yukinoshita coming over."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

You see, when she saw Yukino Yukinoshita walk out of the elevator, she only intended to greet her politely, but she didn't expect that Yukinoshita would come straight to Yuta's door and stand there after seeing her.

Kitagawa Kaimu was dumbfounded and said, "Yukinoshita-san, did you come to the wrong house? Isn't this Yuta's house?"

“I didn’t go to the wrong place…” Yukino Yukinoshita replied calmly.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard that.

Didn't go to the wrong place?

How long has it been since she last visited Yuta's house? Could it be that Yukinoshita is already living with him?

Kitagawa Kaimu immediately stood there, his mind blank, unable to speak.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her briefly, understanding her thoughts, and frowned, saying, "I have something to ask Kijima-kun, it's not what you think..."

She held the kitten and squatted down in front of Yuta Kijima's door.

She could have waited at her own home, but the moment she stepped out of the elevator and saw Kitagawa Kaimu, she suddenly changed her mind.

She had heard in school that Kitagawa Kaimu was a "big-breasted, brainless" enthusiastic girl, so she immediately decided to try to get some information about Kijima Yuta from Kitagawa Kaimu in order to make sure he was a good person.

……

Upon hearing this answer, Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but be startled: "Why would Yukinoshita need Yuta's help?"

Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't connect Yuta Kijima and Yukino Yukinoshita. The two of them were completely unrelated, except that they lived next door to each other.

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, gently stroking the kitten's soft, babyish voice. After a moment, she sighed softly, "Indeed, there is..."

She then told Kitagawa Kaimu the whole story.

Looking at Kitagawa Kaimu, who was standing there dumbfounded after hearing the story, Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her thin lips. Overall, this girl had a pretty good reputation at school, and she also knew Kijima Yuta.

Telling her is also an extra layer of protection for the kitten.

Seeing the tiny kitten, barely the size of a palm, staring at her with its innocent eyes in Yukino's arms, Kitagawa Kaimu was instantly captivated.

"Can I touch it?" she asked cautiously.
