Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"Let's go, Megumi, we'll talk later." With that, Yuta Kijima led Megumi Kato through the streets to the entrance of the yakiniku restaurant.

It's still a little before lunchtime, and there aren't many people in the restaurant yet.

Yuta Kijima led Megumi Kato into a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant. As expected of a famous restaurant in the area, the interior decoration was very simple, but the layout and furnishings were very natural, and the warm yellow lighting made every customer feel comfortable.

Yuta Kijima and Megumi Kato sat down facing each other.

After handing the menu to the waiter, there was no one else around.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima first asked the question he had asked earlier, "Megumi, how did you know about Tomoya Aki?"

"No, I should say everyone in the school knows Aki Tomoya. After all, he's a ruthless preacher at the conference." Kijima Yuta rubbed his nose.

Still puzzled, Kijima Yuta looked at Kato Megumi.

Seeing Yuta Kijima's burning gaze, Megumi Kato couldn't maintain her composure. Her eyes lowered, and she said softly, "Yuta, I told you I joined a very strange club, didn't I?"

"That was actually founded by Aki Tomoya."

"What! You joined the club founded by Tomoya?" Kijima Yuta's eyes widened slightly, his heart not at peace.

Kato Megumi fiddled with a strand of hair by her ear and slowly continued, "Hmm... Aki Tomoya is a very strange person. He keeps trying to get me to join the club, and I can't shake him off no matter what I do."

"He said he wanted to make a game, and I only remembered it because I knew Yuta's name. Aki Tomoya mentioned you again."

After Kato Megumi finished speaking, Kijima Yuta understood. Aki Tomoya had said he wanted to realize his dream but hadn't told him before; it turned out he wanted to create his own game.

This fits Tomoya's character perfectly, but what kind of games does Tomoya play? Does he even know how to make games?

Yuta Kijima quickly snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Rin is just someone who likes to talk to himself and doesn't consider other people's feelings. I have no objection to that."

"Why didn't you tell me about this before, Nae? I thought you just joined the literature club or something," Kijima Yuta asked, puzzled.

"Well..." Kato Megumi raised her right hand and gently combed the hair behind her ear, "Because Aki Tomoya said something about not letting the news leak out, otherwise we'll talk outside about him making games and saying that he plans to announce it at the comic convention."

"It's a bit strange, but I didn't want to reveal other people's secrets like that. I'm sorry, Yuta." Kato Megumi's tone gradually lowered, and although it was calm, you could hear the apology in her words.

The waiter served all the dishes and left. Yuta Kijima got up and poured a drink for Megumi Kato.

"Megumi doesn't need to apologize. It's clearly Tomoya who's a bit paranoid."

"Aki Tomoya is indeed a bit obsessive. He always manages to argue with Sawamura-kun. It's giving me a headache being in the club, not to mention Kasumigaoka-senpai." Kato Megumi's calm voice rang out. "They're both so amazing. Once, Aki Tomoya said that if Yuta wrote a good novel, he would recruit him into the club, which made Kasumigaoka-senpai angry."

Yuta Kijima gave a slight twitch of his lips, then thought for a moment and said, "You mean Kasumigaoka-senpai got angry because of what Tomoya said?"

Of course, Yuta Kijima knew who Kasumigaoka-senpai was. As one of the two most famous beauties at Toyonosaki Private School, Kasumigaoka Utaha's name was legendary.

Chapter 30 Agreement

Kasumigaoka Utaha. One of the two most beautiful girls at Toyonosaki Private School, the other being Sawamura Eriri. She has a quiet and reserved appearance, usually wears her school uniform with a white headband, and has long, straight black hair and long legs in black stockings. She is the dream girl of countless students at the school.

However, those who know Kasumigaoka Utaha have another version of the story, saying that she has a dark and wicked personality. She seems like a quiet girl, but she often has explosive remarks. It is said that many upperclassmen have been humiliated by her, but there are always people who dare to challenge her. I wonder if she has some kind of special fetish.

Yuta Kijima never expected that Tomo Aki would also know the two beautiful girls from the academy.

As for Sawamura-senpai, Tomoya had previously mentioned that they were classmates.

What about Kasumigaoka-senpai?

It's worth noting that since enrolling, Kasumigaoka-senpai has consistently held the top spot in her academic year. She has always been independent and aloof, exuding an unapproachable aura, and has been referred to as a "high-mountain flower" by her juniors.

Yuta Kijima was slightly surprised: "How did Tomoya get to know Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

“Actually, everyone in our club is very talented, except for me,” Kato Megumi said casually. “Sawamura-senpai can draw, Kasumigaoka-senpai is good at writing, and Aki Tomoya… is very skilled at games.”

"..."

"You have no idea what Lun can do too."

Compared to Kato Megumi's exaggerated claims, Kijima Yuta knows Aki Tomoya's true nature best. He may have a broad understanding of ACG culture, but if you had to pinpoint his expertise in it, it would probably be finding fault as a client.

"Hmm...maybe." Kato Megumi's expression remained calm, without the slightest embarrassment.

So you really didn't know Tomoya's role in the club, did you, Megumi-chan?

Yuta Kijima grumbled and transferred the grilled meat from his plate to Megumi Kato's plate: "Megumi, eat first, it'll get dry later."

"Sigh." Kato Megumi's face finally showed a slight change; if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even notice she had just smiled. "Thank you, Yuta."

"this is nothing."

"Do you think I should join Tomoya's club, Megumi?" Kijima Yuta looked at Kato Megumi. "My novel was signed yesterday, and the editor said the first print run will be around 100,000 copies."

As he said this, Yuta Kijima couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Kato Megumi turned her head to look at him, her calm voice tinged with surprise: "Is Yuta that amazing? I think Yuta should really reconsider joining Aki Tomoya's club. He hasn't made any progress in club activities these past few days."

"Both Sawamura-senpai and Kasumigaoka-senpai's proposals were rejected by Aki Tomoya, and he plans to write his own proposal," Kato Megumi added quietly. "We'll see Aki Tomoya's proposal next week when we go to school. Yuta can wait until then to talk to him."

Yuta Kijima remained completely unmoved.

Aki Tomoya is undoubtedly a fanatical consumerist; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to preach during a school assembly. Asking him to produce a passable proposal is unthinkable...

too difficult.

Yuta Kijima shook his head slightly, suppressing the urge to retort, "Let's talk about it then."

Kato Megumi nodded in deep agreement, and said in a flat voice, "Speaking of which, Yuta is really amazing. He's only just started writing a light novel and he's already printed 100,000 copies in the first printing. Sigh~" Kato Megumi's gaze drifted towards Kijima Yuta.

How can the difference be so big?

Yuta is not only good-looking, but also very talented.

ヽ(#`Д?)ノ

"Ahem..." Yuta Kijima coughed lightly, "Actually, I've been working hard on writing so that I can meet Megumi sooner. It's all thanks to support."

"Hmm~"

Kato Megumi's gaze drifted, her fair, jade-like hand gently twirling a strand of hair beside her ear. "Even if Yuta says that, I still feel like I don't know anything. In the club too... I don't even know what to do."

If Aki Tomoya hadn't said he could make her an unmissable leading lady, Kato Megumi wouldn't have joined.

But when Aki Tomoya said it, Kato Megumi thought of Kijima Yuta.

If only I could become more noticeable...

It's just that Kijima Yuta doesn't have the superpower to read minds, otherwise he would definitely have loudly refuted Kato Megumi's idea.

Yuta Kijima chuckled: "Megumi, don't think like that. You know, I was in a really bad state for a while."

“If it weren’t for Megumi, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to make up my mind to write light novels,” Yuta Kijima said firmly.

After a pause, Yuta Kijima suddenly said:

"Hui! Do you still remember the promise you made to me?"

"Ugh?"

Kato Megumi looked up in surprise and blinked.

Yuta Kijima took a deep breath and quickly said, "Ah, it's what you said: if we meet at my autograph session, you'll give me... give me a... kiss."

Yuta Kijima finally mustered up the courage to say everything in one breath.

That's what Hui said back then.

It can't possibly be invalid, right?

Yuta Kijima looked up and gazed at Megumi Kato.

"Ah." Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips and said softly, "Yes, there was such a thing, but didn't we say we'd think about it?" Kato Megumi raised her hand and played with a strand of hair by her ear, her rosy cheeks slightly flushed.

"Huh?" Yuta Kijima sighed, already somewhat disappointed.

Seeing Yuta Kijima's dejected look, Megumi Kato smiled, her pink lips curving upwards, and casually remarked, "Yuta, you seem quite excited, don't you?"

Kijima Yuta quietly shifted his gaze to Kato Megumi, "No, it's just... I just thought we should be honest and trustworthy children."

"Okay," Kato Megumi said softly, "but let's wait for your first autograph session, shall we?"

Yuta Kijima paused, then said hesitantly, "Really?"

"Hmm~"

Kato Megumi didn't say anything at this moment, but just puffed out her pink cheeks and looked at Kijima Yuta with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

You should have heard me clearly after I said it once.

Really.

You still need to ask.

Seeing Kato Megumi's shy expression, Kijima Yuta said happily, "Megumi, don't worry, I'll be able to hold a signing event soon."

"Hmph, who knows when?" Kato Megumi scoffed.

The first volume of Yuta Kijima's light novel has already printed 100,000 copies. As long as the plot remains stable and doesn't fall apart, the book signing event is practically a sure thing.

However, Yuta Kijima still took out his phone from under the table.

Open Machida Sonoko's chat interface.

"Editor Machida, when can I hold a book signing for my light novel?"

This is Yuta Kijima's strategy: to buy more time!

Meanwhile, Machida Sonoko, having just signed a contract with Kijima Yuta for his light novel, was busy handling matters related to its publication.

Suddenly feeling her phone vibrate, Machida Sonoko picked it up and looked at it.

"what?"

Chapter 31 Returning to the old place

Time passed quietly.

"I'm done eating."

A soft voice reached my ears.

"Ah, okay, so where should we go next..."

Yuta Kijima looked up at Megumi Kato.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi blinked and tilted her head slightly. "How about we go to the newly opened 6 Days Inn shopping mall? I'd like to buy Yuta a gift. Is there anything Yuta wants?"

I want a kiss.
