Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

However, she didn't refute Aki Tomoya this time; she just bit her cherry lips tightly with her cute canine teeth.

"Everyone is so amazing..."

A calm voice suddenly came from the side, causing Yuta Kijima to pause.

Looking to the side, I noticed that Kato Megumi had stopped reading for some reason and was staring at me without blinking.

His gaze hesitated slightly, as if he felt that his abilities were not very useful.

Unfortunately, Kato Megumi's facial expression control was inadequate; the only expression visible on her face was her usual calm and collected demeanor.

“Actually, you don’t need to think like that. You see, although Tomoya seems useless, everyone was able to stop it because of him,” Kijima Yuta whispered to Megumi, turning his head to the side.

"..."

"Really? But why do I feel like what you're saying sounds a bit awkward, Yuta?"

Kato paused for a moment, then continued.

"Compared to everyone else, I feel like there's nothing I can do to help you."

Yuta Kijima tilted his head and looked at her: "Actually, anything is very simple if you are willing to learn it, Megumi. The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now."

"..."

Faced with Yuta Kijima's instruction, Megumi Kato casually retorted, "I still need Yuta's help with my grades, so planting trees can only wait until later."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But how can Yuta be so amazing? It seems like he can do everything perfectly, even though you told me before that your grades weren't good."

Kato Megumi's cheeks puffed out slightly, looking a little unhappy, even though she wasn't like this when she was chatting with Yuta online.

As the time for their meeting approached, Yuta revealed more and more of his hidden side.

In particular, everyone in the club has their own area of ​​expertise, and Aki also runs his own website.

Yuta Kijima looked at Megumi Kato and said gently, "Don't worry, I can teach you slowly."

"Eh~ I can only rely on Yuta to help me."

Kato Megumi let out a slight sigh.

Looking at the calm-looking girl in front of him, and comparing it to his own impression of his first meeting with Megumi, Yuta Kijima smiled nonchalantly.

For Yuta Kijima, it doesn't matter whether Megumi Kato has any skills or not. If they can continue their relationship in the future, that's not something to worry about.

However, he wouldn't stop Hui from wanting to improve herself. Everyone has their own pursuits, and he just needs to support them.

"Don't think too much, let's go, class is about to start."

Aki Tomoya had just finished explaining that the lunch break was almost over. Seeing that he and Megumi were chatting with their heads tilted to the side, he didn't disturb them and went back to the classroom first, leaving only him and Megumi in the classroom.

Seeing this, Kato Megumi got up and left the audiovisual classroom with Kijima Yuta.

……

That concludes today's tasks for now.

The girls in the class went from being very enthusiastic at the beginning to gradually losing interest. Only a few girls would occasionally come to him to ask questions or say hello.

During the afternoon class, Yuta Kijima saw Tomoya Aki constantly writing and drawing with his head down, so he must have put in some effort.

If they can't come up with a decent proposal by the end of the weekend, Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-senpai really won't stay in the club to keep Rin company any longer.

On the way back, Kijima Yuta looked at Kato Megumi and asked, "So, what does Megumi think of Tomoya's club?"

"Hmm... I think I can make some good friends." Kato Megumi tilted her head and pondered, then said softly, "Actually, when Yuta isn't around, I feel quite helpless staying in the club. Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-senpai are bickering every day, and I can't get a word in edgewise."

“Sometimes it’s quite amusing to watch Kasumigaoka-senpai being sarcastic to Aki-kun.” Kato Megumi smiled faintly.

Anyone who hears Kasumigaoka Utaha's sharp tongue bombardment will feel a huge sense of contrast.

Of course, the person being verbally attacked shouldn't be yourself.

Hearing Kato Megumi's answer, Kijima Yuta breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, from their conversation in the audiovisual classroom today, he could vaguely sense that Megumi was feeling a bit down.

After all, Tomoya's club lineup is already quite impressive, so it's normal for Megumi to have ideas in this environment.

"Well... I'm not really joining Tomoya's club anyway. I'm just curious about how a club works. Maybe we can make our own games someday," Yuta Kijima murmured casually. "Megumi, just take your time learning. You can help me out later too."

"Eh~ Yuta, do you want to make games in the future too?" Kato Megumi gently twirled a strand of hair behind her ear.

Yuta Kijima said, "It's just a possibility, but it would be great to be able to make my own game."

Kato Megumi said softly, "Okay, if I know Yuta is willing, I will try my best to help you."

After speaking, Kato Megumi glanced at Kijima Yuta's profile, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.

"Haha, that's a long way off. All Megumi needs to do now is give me confidence," Yuta Kijima said with a smile, scratching his head.

The two chatted casually as they walked, until they reached their parting place, at which point they ended their conversation.

Only after watching Kato Megumi's figure gradually disappear from sight did Kijima Yuta turn around and go home.

But before that, he needed to go to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables.

Regarding Yuta Kijima's royalties, the publisher has already advanced 40% of them to his account.

After all, if he doesn't earn any more money, he will have no source of income at all.

At this point, Yuta Kijima couldn't help but facepalm, because the original owner's family situation had caused him a lot of trouble.

The original owner's family lived in an address that was only a four or five-hour drive from Tokyo. Since Yuta Kijima transmigrated here, he only occasionally answered questions from the original owner's parents.

The original owner's family was not poor; they were considered well-off in the area. However, Yuta Kijima had no intention of continuing to spend his parents' money.

Ultimately, there's still a slight sense of unease.

We can only let nature take its course.

With his mind wandering, Yuta Kijima arrived at the shopping mall, which was the best value mall in the surrounding area.

They have all the basic vegetables and fruits, and there are often discounts and promotions. When Yuta Kijima was short on money before, he would come here to compete with the elderly for vegetables.

Thinking back to that experience, Yuta Kijima shuddered. The fighting power of the elderly men and women was too much for his level 3 physique at the time.

However, he no longer has to worry about competing for food. Even with only 40% of the royalties, Kijima Yuta has no worries about making ends meet.

Yuta Kijima was in a good mood as he selected fresh vegetables.

The fruit looks fresh, I'll buy some!

Watermelon? Buy it!

Snacks? Buy, buy, buy!

While Yuta Kijima was on a shopping spree, a commotion broke out at the checkout counter.

It wasn't until Yuta Kijima pushed his cart to the cashier to pay that he noticed the commotion at the cashier.

With a sense of curiosity and a desire to see what was going on, Yuta Kijima looked toward the noisy area.

I didn't know until I looked, and then I realized that this was a friend he had only known for a short time.

Nishinomiya Glass.

At that moment, Nishimiya Shoko was being loudly reprimanded by the cashier. She had her head down and her eyes were red. The reprimand made it difficult for her to hold the notebook.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Yuta Kijima decided to help her, since she was a friend and he couldn't refuse.

Yuta Kijima struggled to squeeze through the crowd and finally emerged from it.

Ignoring the stares of the onlookers, Yuta Kijima calmly walked to the cashier.

Nishimiya Shoko, who had been looking down, finally raised her head when she saw a pair of shoes standing next to her.

"Long time no see, Nishimiya-kun." Kijima Yuta greeted him with a polite smile and gestured in sign language.

Chapter 45 Wrongful Baba

Since it wasn't the weekend, there weren't many people in the mall, but what happened here still drew a lot of attention.

This undoubtedly exacerbated Nishimiya Shoko's inner turmoil.

She came here to buy some groceries for her family, but she had almost never been to such a crowded place alone before.

I came out alone this time because I got out of school early today and was thinking about my younger sister at home, so I thought I'd go out by myself to buy some snacks and also to train myself.

When Nishimiya Shoko first entered the mall, seeing the dazzling array of goods and the bustling crowds, she experienced something she had never done before. Normally, her family wouldn't feel comfortable letting her come to crowded places alone.

Although her hearing is impaired, with the help of hearing aids, she can still hear the noisy sounds in the mall, which she likes very much, giving her a sense of being connected to the world.

Searching her memory, she bought a rough list of her sister's favorite snacks and the dishes they usually ate at home, which made Nishimiya Shoko even happier.

Next, it was time to find the checkout, but that didn't pose a problem for her. As long as she paid properly at the cashier, the trip would be over smoothly.

Walking and stopping intermittently, Nishimiya Shoko looked around curiously, like a bird released from its cage. Her surprised and bewildered expression was quite eye-catching.

While Nishimiya Shoko was strolling around, Kijima Yuta was also frantically shopping at the mall. However, given the size of the mall, the chances of them coming into contact were slim, and they didn't meet.

In the past, when she went shopping with her sister and grandmother, her sister would always follow her closely. Although her sister meant well, she still wanted to go out on her own at least once.

After thinking it over, Nishimiya Shoko realized she had seen enough, so she followed the exit signs.

"Hello, the total is 2895 yen."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded, then reached into her backpack to get her wallet.

But after searching through her backpack for a long time, she realized that she couldn't find her wallet.

No way!

As she pulled the backpack to her front, unzipped it, and carefully searched through it, a feeling of despair welled up inside her.

No way, I remember taking my wallet with me when I went out today, how could it be gone?

Time seemed to stand still.

"Hello?"

The question shattered Nishimiya Shoko's reverie, causing her to panic.

Her eyes slowly swept over the cashier, and looking at the items she had purchased, Nishimiya Shoko's eyes welled up with tears, but her strong nature allowed her to suppress them.

However, she was afraid, afraid of being scolded by the cashier staff.

"Hello, customer, may I ask you...?" Upon seeing this, the cashier couldn't help but feel puzzled, her brows furrowing tightly and her expression changing slightly.
