Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

so annoying!

I must bring him along next time I'm rushing to meet a deadline.

Yuta Kijima looked at Eriri: "Okay."

"Hmph." Eriri snorted lightly, handed him the manuscript, and sat down next to Kijima Yuta.

Eriri's desk is quite large, as it needs to accommodate her computer and sometimes she uses her drawing tablet. It's spacious enough for two people to sit comfortably.

The room quickly quieted down.

All that remained was the rustling sound of the two sketching on the paper.

……

it is finally over.

[Drawing skill level: 90/100]

With a little more effort, I can upgrade to level 3, at which point I'll be considered somewhat proficient.

Yuta Kijima put down his pen and leaned back to stretch his stiff body as much as possible.

If you hunch over like that all day, it's definitely a bit uncomfortable. If you did that every day, not many people could stand it.

He looked to the side, a look of surprise on his face.

Beside Yuta Kijima, Eriri was intently and meticulously drawing the sketch in front of her.

I must say, Eriri does look really cute when she's quiet, unlike her usual grumpy little cat self.

Her long, golden hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders, her eyes, as blue as the ocean, were focused intently, and she possessed a high, straight nose, thin, moist lips, and a face as smooth and delicate as jade.

Although Eriri is wearing black-rimmed glasses now, it still can't hide her natural beauty.

Yuta Kijima felt a little emotional when he thought about how he had accidentally pressed his face against Eriri's cheek that morning.

Life is full of surprises.

Eriri probably noticed Kijima Yuta's gaze, because she twisted her slightly sore neck and glanced at Kijima Yuta.

"You finished drawing so quickly?" Eriri adjusted her glasses and asked in surprise.

Is this guy really that talented?

Eriri began to doubt how many more times she could teach Kijima Yuta, and felt a strange sense of frustration.

"Yes, Eriri, the drawings you gave me were all quite exquisite, so I didn't have to spend too much time to finish them," Yuta Kijima said. Using Eriri's drawings to gain experience was much faster than figuring it out on his own, so he really wanted to thank her.

"Really?" Eriri frowned. Had her drawing skills improved again?

Let's just say that's how it is.

"Alright then, there's nothing for you to do right now. Just pick up a manga and take a look. I'll be done soon." Eriri said after hesitating for a moment, deciding to see Kijima Yuta out after she finished the last few pages.

"No need, thank you very much for your guidance today, Eriri." Yuta Kijima smiled gently and stood up. "If there's nothing else I can help you with, I'll head home now."

I can't bother Eriri any longer. Since there's nothing I can do, I should go home as soon as possible. I feel quite uncomfortable at someone else's house.

"If Eriri needs my help again in the future, she can ask me for help. Besides, I also need your guidance," Yuta Kijima continued.

"Hmph, don't worry. You won't be able to escape if I have a job in the future."

Eriri gave a soft snort. Seeing that he was determined to leave, she didn't try to stop him. However, she still needed to personally see Kijima Yuta off. If she let him go out on his own, his mother would definitely tease him for a while.

Yuta Kijima chuckled and replied, "As long as I can help Eriri, that's fine."

"Alright then... I'll see you out." Eriri stood up.

Yuta Kijima, who had intended to politely decline Eriri's offer to see him out, thought about Sayuri Sawamura sitting downstairs and ultimately decided not to refuse Eriri's kindness.

He really didn't want to face Eriri's mother alone.

Chapter 63 Family

After going downstairs, Yuta Kijima chatted with Sayuri Sawamura for a while, while Eriri listened impatiently from the side, constantly urging Sayuri Sawamura not to waste Yuta Kijima's time.

"Alright, alright..." Sawamura Sayuri sighed, "Kishima-kun finally came to our house, and you, kid, really..."

Eriri snuggled up to Sayuri Sawamura and shook her hand, saying, "Anyway, Yuta will have more opportunities to come to our house in the future. He said he would help me out, so don't keep him hanging on."

Sawamura Sayuri stroked Eriri's long hair, her eyes lighting up. She looked at Kijima Yuta and said, "It seems that my Eriri will need Kijima-kun to take good care of her from now on."

"No, it's Eriri who's been teaching me all along." Yuta Kijima scratched his head. He still needs Eriri to teach him; it's not like he's the one taking care of Eriri.

Now that she knew that Yuta Kijima would be coming to visit Eriri again, Sayuri Sawamura decided not to force him to stay.

As for Aki Tomoya, he doesn't look as pleasing to the eye as Kijima Yuta in front of him.

However, this is just her opinion; we don't know what Eriri thinks. But hearing that the way they address each other has changed, it must be pretty good.

"Alright then, remember to come visit Eriri often." Sayuri Sawamura said with satisfaction. She can write light novels and draw manga; she's a perfect match for her daughter.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima also stood up to say goodbye, saying, "If I have time, I definitely will..."

Seeing that Sayuri Sawamura had finally released them, Eriri eagerly pulled Yuta Kijima towards the gate.

As the scene unfolded before her eyes, Sayuri Sawamura narrowed her eyes, smiled, and took a sip of her tea.

There's still time; she has high hopes for Kijima-kun...

Stepping out of the mansion, Eriri immediately let go of him, crossed her arms, and said apologetically, "Kijima-dō... Yuta, don't take my mother's words to heart. She always talks nonsense."

“It’s alright.” Yuta Kijima knew what Eriri meant. “Aunt Sawamura is quite interesting, but her way of expressing herself isn’t very good.”

"Hmm..." Eriri couldn't help but complain, "You'll know her personality once you come to my house more often. Besides, she likes fair-skinned little boys like you the most."

She hasn't told Yuta Kijima yet that her mother is actually a hardcore fan of BL (Boys' Love) films, and she might have already envisioned a story for him the moment she met him.

Eriri glanced at Yuta Kijima with a subtle look in her eyes.

"what?"

As Yuta Kijima listened to Eriri's words, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Did Aunt Sawamura have any other terrifying places?

He secretly resolved to avoid Sayuri Sawamura from now on; Eriri's gaze at him just now was too strange, and it made him feel uneasy.

Upon reaching the gate, Yuta Kijima discussed future practice plans with Eriri. They decided that he would help Eriri with her writing on weekends when she needed to meet deadlines, and otherwise he would just practice writing on his own.

Eriri had observed the rate of progress Kijima Yuta made, and she estimated that Kijima Yuta would no longer need her help in about a month. At most, she would invite him to her house four more times.

Having settled his affairs, Yuta Kijima prepared to go home.

According to his observation, Eriri should be around level 4 or 5 in his system's level classification. He should be able to catch up in about a month.

There's no rush to draw comics; his light novel will be on sale tomorrow, so he'll be busy for a while.

When I get home later, I need to create a personal account. After the release starts tomorrow, the publisher will use the official account to drive traffic to it. It seems that Kasumigaoka-senpai will also use her own account to help promote it.

Although Aki Tomoya had already helped promote it before, this was his first time going out for a press conference, and to be honest, he was still quite nervous.

Whatever the outcome, we'll see tomorrow.

At the door of the rented house, Yuta Kijima used his key to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Yuta Kijima was hit with a stuffy and pungent musty smell.

"Ah~"

Yuta Kijima covered his nose as he went inside, and the first thing he did was open the window.

Unfortunately, since the place they were renting wasn't in a luxury area, the original owner chose this relatively cheap room based on the principle of saving money wherever possible.

While enjoying the benefits, one must also bear the corresponding risks.

Normally, this small rented room would feel very stuffy if I didn't open the windows for ventilation when I went out, not to mention that it had rained a little today.

After doing some calculations, it seems the rainy season is almost here.

Now that we have the money, we must put moving to a new house on our agenda.

Let's just bear with it for a little longer.

With the doors and windows open for ventilation, Yuta Kijima stood outside the room, wondering where he should move to.

I've come up with no results after thinking about it. I'll ask Hui and the others tomorrow; they should have some better suggestions.

After smelling the odor at the door and finding it had lessened somewhat, Yuta Kijima went into the room.

Because of the musty smell he had just smelled, he had no desire to open the refrigerator and cook. He casually grabbed a bowl of instant noodles from the cupboard, opened it, filled the kettle with water, heated it up, and then lay down on the bed, exhausted.

He's been drawing since this morning, and even his level 4 constitution is starting to feel the strain.

Eriri is really something.

It's amazing that they can draw for so long without stopping. Geniuses are never lazy.

Just as the water in the kettle was about to boil, the phone suddenly rang.

strange?

Who would call him at this point?

Picking up his phone, looking at the name saved as "Father" on the call screen, Yuta Kijima's finger hesitated slightly in the air.

Yuta Kijima still has relatively vivid memories of his parents in this world.

Aside from a phone call when he first arrived in this world, he had no plans to communicate much in the past month.

With a slightly uneasy feeling, Yuta Kijima answered the phone.

A strong yet authoritative voice quickly came through the phone: "Yuta! You think you've grown wings after studying so far away? You haven't even called home once in over a month!"

In Yuta Kijima's memory, his father was a typical male chauvinist, and his daily interactions always revealed the authority of the person in charge, so Yuta Kijima did not intend to beat around the bush.

He had already decided from the beginning that since he had come into this world, he should live it seriously.

Yuta Kijima thought for a moment and said, "Because I just transferred to a new school, there are many things to take care of, so I always forget to call and inform you."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by an annoyed reply: "I told you not to go to school so far away, but you wouldn't listen. If it weren't for your mother..."

He was interrupted by the faint sound of arguing coming from the other end of the phone. After a while, he continued, "Ahem... Anyway, it doesn't matter what you do, but your mother hasn't received a call from you in so long and is worried about you every day. You'd better explain it to your mother yourself!"

Chapter 64 Explanation

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, so Yuta Kijima cautiously asked, "Mom?"

The person on the other end of the phone finally spoke, their voice a mixture of concern and anger, "Yuta! No matter how busy you are, you can't go over a month without calling home."
