Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

He was about to turn around and discuss leaving the house with Kato Megumi when Kato Megumi exclaimed softly:

"Yu...Yuta?"

"Huh?" Kijima Yuta noticed that the woman's gaze in the picture frame seemed to have shifted slightly, and he wanted to lean closer to take a closer look.

Kato Megumi stiffened slightly, looked up at the ceiling, and said with a complicated expression, "Yuta, that...that footstep sound seemed to go towards the stairs."

"what?"

Hearing what Kato Megumi said, he stopped what he was doing and listened carefully to the sounds coming from upstairs.

"Crunch, crunch"

Indeed, the footsteps were gradually moving towards the stairs.

Unease was evident in Kato Megumi's eyes.

At this moment, Yuta Kijima no longer cared about the footsteps on the stairs. If he wasn't mistaken, the key to getting out lay in the woman in the portrait.

He stared at the woman in the portrait.

Sure enough, every ten seconds or so, the woman in the portrait would turn her eyes to stare in a certain direction.

Following his gaze, Yuta Kijima saw a TV cabinet near the television.

Is the exit here?

If that's the case, you'll have to half-squat to get out.

"Megumi." Kijima Yuta looked at Kato Megumi and said, "The exit should be over there, let's go quickly."

Kato Megumi looked up, her eyes brimming with tension.

Yuta Kijima gently stroked her head and softly comforted her, "It's okay, that should be the exit."

The footsteps from the second floor had reached the stairs and paused briefly.

Yuta Kijima glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a sinister, pale foot appear on the stairs.

He quickly blocked Kato Megumi's view with his body and pulled her to the cabinet.

Pulling it open, they were indeed connected inside.

"Hui, you go in first."

He pushed Kato Megumi to stand in front of the cabinet door, letting her go out first.

Several more footsteps sounded on the stairs. He hadn't turned around yet, but he could anticipate that the staff would appear.

"Yuta..."

"I can't believe it," Kato Megumi said worriedly.

"It's alright, it's just a person pretending. You can go ahead," Yuta Kijima said gently, wondering what the "ghost" looked like.

He was also curious.

Seeing that Kijima Yuta said this, Kato Megumi did not continue to refuse. For a girl, this place would put a lot of psychological pressure on her.

The moment Kato Megumi squatted down, she glanced back at her with concern.

From this angle, you can see some of the scene at the staircase. There, you can see a pale white foot standing there, with an extremely eerie kimono hanging down to cover the calf.

Kato Megumi felt a little scared and turned to move towards the exit.

After seeing that Kato Megumi had already left, Kijima Yuta turned around to look at the woman in a kimono coming down the stairs.

It looked exactly like the picture frame. At this moment, she let out a very unpleasant roar from her throat, just like the background music that accompanied Kayako's appearance.

She made her way toward Yuta Kijima, taking hesitant steps.

"By the way, is there a way out from the second floor?" Yuta Kijima suddenly asked.

"..."

Perhaps they hadn't quite recovered yet, and it was the first time the staff had ever seen tourists like this since the store opened, which completely ruined the atmosphere they had worked so hard to create.

"Yes, we can." Adhering to the principle that the customer is king, the staff member explained.

Just looking at him in that outfit makes him seem really strange.

Yuta Kijima nodded. "Did you see a blonde girl walk by?" Although he felt that Kitagawa Kaimu was unlikely to choose this route, he still asked.

"No."

The staff member's smile was somewhat bitter. "You're making me lose face. Every previous tourist was so frightened that they were speechless."

In the dead of night, in a deserted mansion, eerie footsteps echoed from the second floor, drawing ever closer to the stairwell. Those with a weak heart would not be able to withstand it for long.

She really did run into a weirdo today.

"Alright then, you've actually done a pretty good job here." Seeing that there was no news from Haimeng, Kijima Yuta turned and went into the cabinet, not forgetting to praise the staff's professionalism.

"..."

The woman in the kimono was speechless.

"Another tourist is heading your way, get ready quickly." The notification came through her earpiece, and she perked up and headed up to the second floor.

Yuta Kijima's actions have completely eroded her confidence.

-

Here, Yuta Kijima emerged from the passage, straightening his back and stretching his slightly stiff body.

Kato Megumi, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly rushed towards him and hugged his waist tightly with both hands.

Yuta Kijima was surprised to be pounced on by a figure as soon as he came out.

After taking a closer look, he no longer hesitated and reached out to catch Hui, who was rushing towards him.

Chapter 85 A Unique Way of Repaying Kindness

Yuta Kijima looked down into Megumi Kato's eyes, which were usually calm and composed, but were now filled with tension.

Realizing she had made such a bold move, Kato Megumi quickly got out of his arms and hurriedly explained.

"I'm sorry, Yuta, the atmosphere created in that house really startled me."

Seeing that Hui was still in shock from the previous atmosphere, he said gently, "It's okay, I've been with you the whole time."

Hearing what Yuta Kijima said, Megumi Kato felt a little shy and her face flushed, though no one could see it.

However, in this dimly lit setting, neither of them could see each other's expressions, which gave Kato Megumi a little time to calm herself down.

"I told you a long time ago not to come up to the second floor!"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect there to be a female ghost up there..."

A conversation between a man and a woman could be heard behind Yuta Kijima.

"Hey! Hurry up...hurry up..."

Yuta Kijima glanced around and noticed that the tourists had come up later, but instead of coming out from the cabinet door, they came out from a dark staircase corner.

Judging from their conversation, they must have chosen a completely different route and gone up to the second floor of the house.

The two people who came out were clearly a couple. After turning the corner, they immediately saw Yuta Kijima and Megumi Kato, who were stuck there.

He immediately understood and lowered his voice, pretending not to see the two of them, and walked briskly past them.

The man in the group stared at him with admiration as he passed by, and he could only return a polite smile.

At that moment, what Kijima Yuta could feel was that Kato Megumi buried her head deeply in her chest, completely daring not to look at the two people outside.

Hui, who used to be so calm and collected, is now shy.

However, when he suddenly saw a stranger while hugging Kato Megumi, Kijima Yuta's heart beat faster, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi lowered her head, her voice muffled.

Once she could no longer hear their footsteps fading into the distance, Kato Megumi quickly left Kijima Yuta's embrace.

Looking at Kato Megumi's slightly flushed face in the dim light, Kijima Yuta also snapped out of his daze.

He said gently, "Let's go outside first."

"Uh-huh."

Kato Megumi lowered her eyelids slightly; she didn't dare look directly into Kijima Yuta's eyes yet, for a glance from those gentle eyes would make her face involuntarily flush slightly.

Having obtained the biggest reward from this haunted house, Yuta Kijima was already satisfied and didn't linger. He took Megumi's hand and walked out of the passage together.

The two continued exploring the haunted house. Although they were still threatened by the haunted house staff along the way, they were now quite adept at finding their way to the end.

Soon, Yuta Kijima saw a light in the distance.

"The exit from the haunted house should be just ahead."

With each step, we finally emerged from inside.

……

After leaving the haunted house, you need to register with the staff on duty to prevent any tourists from wandering around inside and not coming out.

"Mei-chan!"

After confirming with the staff, a figure was waving from not far away.

Yuta Kijima was the first to notice her. Kaimu Kitagawa seemed to be alright and appeared to be having a good time inside.

Kato Megumi had already returned to her original appearance, walking at a leisurely pace. She blinked and asked in a calm tone, "Hai Meng, why did you run off as soon as you went in? We looked for you for ages." "Huh?"

Kitagawa Kaimu didn't speak, her gaze shifting between Kato Megumi and Kijima Yuta.

"If I follow the two of you, we won't be able to have any fun at all."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, none of the people present were fools, and they quickly grasped Kitagawa Kaimu's implied meaning.

"Um... Hai Meng, how long have you been out?"

Yuta Kijima looked speechless, his face darkening.

Kitagawa Kaimu looked sullen. "I came out a long time ago. It's not fun inside at all. I did see a few couples hugging and kissing inside. It was so embarrassing."

Kijima Yuta glanced at Kato Megumi almost imperceptibly; they had just been seen by tourists.

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm, revealing nothing.
