Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Although May and Miku were the first of the five to "defect" to the enemy, she only gets angry about things related to Yuta Kijima; otherwise, their relationship remains very good.

Moreover, in a way, it's impossible for any chef to dislike someone like May who loves to eat.

Seeing that no one responded behind her, Nino Nakano frowned.

Did that guy expend too much energy listening to his tutoring back in May, and now he's planning to come to the kitchen to taste the dishes ahead of time?

"May……"

After selecting the ingredients she needed, Nino Nakano closed the refrigerator door and decided to ask May to be a little more patient.

However, when she turned around to look behind her, the words she was about to say immediately stopped in her throat.

"You, what are you doing here!?"

She frowned, never expecting it to be the person she hated most.

"If you're hungry, you can go outside and get a couple more glasses of water to tide you over. I'll make dinner soon."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

If he hadn't overheard those words, he probably wouldn't feel anything now.

But having heard it, he was speechless.

Is this something a human can do?

Seeing that he was still standing there without reacting, Nakano Nino continued in a disdainful tone, "The snacks at home were all bought by us together, and there's no more for you. If you really want to eat them, you have to get permission from everyone else first."

She didn't think Yuta Kijima was the type to ask everyone one by one.

Yuta Kijima took a deep breath to calm himself down before slowly saying, "Nino, I think you've misunderstood."

“I wasn’t hungry, I just saw you cooking alone in the kitchen and thought there might be something I could do to help.”

"you?"

Nino Nakano's tone betrayed a hint of surprise.

Chapter 255 A futile attempt

"You came here thinking of helping me cook?"

"..."

The brief pause conveyed a sense of surprise and doubt.

Yuta Kijima shrugged. "Of course, if you can manage on your own, I won't bother you here."

If he had that much time, he could probably drink a couple more glasses of water.

After all, the stark difference in treatment almost broke his spirit.

After a moment of silence, Nino Nakano suddenly spoke up to persuade her to stay, "Wait... I'm a little tired today. If you can help, then you can prepare dinner later."

After she finished speaking, her voice trailed off, and a hint of pleading even appeared in her eyes.

Yuta Kijima looked at Nino Nakano, wondering why she had suddenly changed her mind, but still nodded and said, "Okay, then you should rest for a while."

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Nakano Nino was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be tired. "Then I'll leave dinner to Kijima-kun tonight."

"Yeah, don't worry." Yuta Kijima nodded casually.

The two then began to divide the work. Kijima Yuta glanced at the ingredients that Nakano Nino had taken out and quickly selected a suitable dish in his mind, while Nakano Nino walked out of the kitchen with light steps.

Only after confirming that Kijima Yuta didn't approve of her did Nakano Nino reveal a wicked smile of triumph.

You see, she has always been dissatisfied with this guy who suddenly barged into the group of five sisters, so how could she possibly need his help?

This was just a trap she set for Yuta Kijima.

She wouldn't have done this if Kijima Yuta hadn't specifically sought her out.

But now that he has delivered himself to her doorstep, Nakano Nino will not let go of this excellent opportunity.

If the dinner she makes later isn't as good as hers, then this will be a crucial bargaining chip for her to turn the tide against Yotsuba in May.

You know, everyone has been studying for so long and is tired. If they don't eat well during meals, you can imagine the resentment they will feel. Even if May and the others are unwilling to say it out of politeness.

But a seed must have been planted in their hearts as well.

That still presents a great opportunity.

As for the fact that his cooking is better than mine...

Nino Nakano never considered that even if Yuta Kijima's grades were indeed very good, she had never been afraid of anyone in her area of ​​expertise.

She has been honing her skills in the culinary field since she was very young, and she even has the idea of ​​opening her own cake shop in the future.

Yotsuba completely dismissed Yotsuba's earlier claim that Kijima Yuta's cooking was delicious, since it was all just hearsay and had no basis whatsoever.

Nino Nakano listened to the sound of hot oil coming from the kitchen.

Thinking to himself that he would go back to the living room to talk about it later, even if Kijima Yuta wanted to deny it then, it would be too late.

Thinking about this, Nino Nakano gave herself a mental pat on the back. Sure enough, people who can cook are all smart.

It's far too one-sided to judge a person's talent solely by their grades in today's society!

……

Just a few minutes later, when Nakano Nino estimated that it was about time to go to the living room to tell her other sisters about it.

An enticing aroma suddenly wafted out from the kitchen.

"Hey, Nino, what are you doing standing outside?"

Nino Nakano turned her head and saw a head of bright red hair as red as an apple. It was Satsuki Nakano, who had come over after smelling the aroma and being tempted by her appetite.

"May... are you hungry?" Nakano Nino asked awkwardly. "If you're hungry, you can go find the snacks you bought earlier."

She is now in a dilemma.

The reason for all of this is the delicious aroma that just wafted from the kitchen...

If such a delicious aroma hadn't wafted from the kitchen, she would have definitely let May go in to admire Yuta Kijima's culinary skills without hesitation.

However, the current result seems to have deviated from her original plan. At this moment, the aroma emanating from the kitchen is so enticing that it makes her mouth water.

Looking at the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen, Nakano Satsuki asked curiously, "Nino, if you're here, who's cooking in there?"

Nino Nakano hesitated for a moment, then gave up on her futile ideas and resignedly said, "It's Yuta Kijima, he's making everyone's dinner tonight..."

She then led May into the kitchen.

Because he had been so focused on the pot, Kijima Yuta hadn't heard the conversation outside the kitchen earlier. Now he saw Nakano Satsuki and Nakano Nino walking in together.

He didn't stop tossing the wok in his hands, and looked at the two of them with a smile, saying, "It'll be ready soon. You can go to the living room and call the others over."

Nino Nakano didn't reply, but stepped forward and carefully examined the dishes that had already been prepared.

But the results mercilessly shattered the last vestige of hope in her heart.

Nakano Satsuki didn't see Nino's expression because as soon as she entered the kitchen, all her attention was focused on the dishes laid out to the side.

……

It wasn't until the tempura sizzling in the pan in front of Yuta Kijima on the other side that her attention was diverted.

Nakano Satsuki looked at the steaming tempura in the pot and unconsciously swallowed.

"Gulu..."

A strange sound was mixed in with the cooking.

When Kijima Yuta looked over, Nakano Satsuki's eyes were glued to the tempura in the pot, staring intently without blinking.

He picked up the chopsticks placed beside him, took a tempura from the pot, and slowly brought it to Nakano Satsuki's lips.

"Would you like to try the taste for me in May?"

"Really?" Nakano Satsuki's eyes lit up instantly, and she leaned forward and took a bite of the tempura that looked delicious.

In an instant, she was completely captivated by Kijima Yuta's culinary skills. She held her hand to her lips to prevent Kijima Yuta from seeing her embarrassing eating posture. "Kijima-kun, your cooking is so delicious!"

She turned to look at Nino Nakano, who was still in a daze beside her, and exclaimed with delight, "Nino, come and try it! Yotsuba was right!"

First, a stare came from beside her, followed by a somewhat dejected voice, "Is that so? Then it seems Kijima-kun will have to cook for you guys from now on..."

"what……"

"Nino, what are you talking about? Although Kijima-kun's cooking is indeed delicious, yours is just as good. If I had to taste it, I would say they each have their own merits."

Nakano Satsuki didn't understand why Nino seemed to have lost all her energy and hurriedly comforted her.

Chapter 256 Conquest

Upon hearing this, Nakano Nino looked at her sister, who was the biggest eater and the best at eating, with surprise, but felt a little comforted.

Other ideas also popped into my mind.

Perhaps Yuta Kijima's dishes only look and smell good?

If it really doesn't taste as good as what I made myself, then I can't say my plan failed.

With that thought in mind, her gaze fell upon Yuta Kijima, who was already plating the food.

"Nino, you should try some too." Kijima Yuta nodded.

Nino Nakano gave him a dangerous look. He was the one who picked up the chopsticks and fed May the food just now, so why was she the one doing it herself?

However, she didn't dwell on it and picked up a freshly cooked tempura and ate it herself.

The tempura was fried until golden and crispy, and she even wondered if a flash of golden light appeared when it came out of the fryer.

Nino Nakano savored the taste, and before she knew it, she had finished the entire tempura.

"How is it?" Nakano Satsuki swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the urge to take another bite.

After all, Yuta Kijima is still by his side.

No matter what, you can't afford to ruin the image you've cultivated.

"Well……"

Nino Nakano looked at the empty chopsticks and fell silent.

"Not bad..."
