Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

After seeing that Yuta Kijima had answered her question, Eriri stopped bothering him and went to the side to eat snacks and watch the new anime.

With Yuta Kijima's help, the burden on her shoulders was lightened considerably.

I really don't know if I can get back to being as busy as before if he stops helping me.

Looking at Yuta Kijima, who was bent over his desk and focused on drawing, I noticed that he had delicate features with a touch of handsomeness, as well as a unique gentle temperament. The key point is that he can also draw, so he must be an insider in the ACG circle.

"What an outstanding guy, it's enviable."

She looked away and murmured something to herself.

The morning passed quickly, and noon arrived.

"Phew, it's finally finished."

Looking at the table piled high with drawings, Yuta Kijima breathed a sigh of relief. He would do his best to complete anything that could be done without delay.

Because of the long period of bending over, he stood up and did two stretching exercises after finishing the painting.

"No, Yuta, you're done drawing?" Eriri, who was stuffing snacks into her mouth, stared blankly at Kijima Yuta, who was getting up and moving around. It was only noon!

Suddenly, the snacks in her mouth no longer tasted good.

I'm learning so fast, who will be my assistant in the future?

“Yes, it’s finished.” Yuta Kijima answered Eriri’s question while twisting his waist and tilting his head.

I checked the time on my phone; it was noon, so it must have taken two or three hours.

[Drawing Skill Level 4: 4/100]

"Actually, it's because Eriri, your original drawing was already so exquisite that I didn't need to put in too much effort," Yuta Kijima added.

Such a rapid pace of progress would surprise anyone who knew, so he still had to be careful to cover it up, especially since the original manuscript provided by Eriri was already of very high quality.

Eriri put down her snacks, crossed her arms, and said smugly, "Hmph, of course, but you've improved a lot too."

"I'll prepare more for you next time, otherwise you won't have any room for improvement," she said righteously.

As for the underlying reason, it was actually to take advantage of Kijima Yuta before he graduated.

Hearing this, Yuta Kijima nodded with a wry smile: "No problem, Eriri, you can ask me for help in the future."

Eriri blushed slightly: "Of course! You're my top disciple, Kashiwagi Eri!"

What a load of nonsense! All you ever say is nice things.

From now on, when I need to meet deadlines, I won't be so polite to you.

Yuta Kijima nodded.

After having lunch at Eriri's house, Yuta Kijima said goodbye, citing his upcoming appointment to view a house.

When they parted, Eriri excitedly said that she must invite him to her new house after he moved in.

"Ok."

Yuta Kijima agreed quickly; how could he refuse when Eri Kashiwagi-sensei had spoken?

However, he's still unsure if the house he saw today is suitable; everything depends on the actual property.

Next time we have a get-together, I should cook a big feast at my new home; there are quite a few people I need to invite.

After a careful search of his mind, he realized that he had unknowingly made many good friends.

……

I took out my phone and checked the time; it was 1:30.

He arranged to meet the agent at 2 PM, and it's about time he arrived.

He put his phone in his pocket and began to walk leisurely toward the agreed-upon location.

The real estate agent was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, dressed in a suit and tie, and appeared serious and proper at first glance.

Upon seeing Yuta Kijima, after repeatedly confirming his identity, she said, "Hello, Mr. Kijima, I will now show you the house."

"Okay, let's go."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two began looking at apartments.

Since he lives alone, Yuta Kijima gave up on detached houses and opted for a larger apartment instead.

The supporting facilities are also quite complete, and there's not much to worry about in terms of security.

Although he was satisfied with the layout of the first apartment he saw, the cleanliness of the hallway was worrying, making him very uncomfortable, so he passed on it immediately.

The two apartments he looked at next satisfied him with their layouts and amenities. After some deliberation, he decided to choose the one that offered the best value for money.

It wasn't because it was cheaper than the other one; it was mainly because it looked more pleasing to his eye.

There are only two households on one floor, with three bedrooms, and the rest of the space is much larger, including a large bathtub in the bathroom.

Yuta Kijima plans to keep two bedrooms, one for himself and one as a guest room for when guests come over. The last one will be converted into his workspace, where he can write and draw comics.

“Mr. Kijima, if there are no other questions, I will reserve this apartment for you.”

Yuta Kijima nodded: "Okay, thank you."

The agent shook his head and went to prepare the necessary documents for renting the apartment with a serious expression.

This time, he signed a one-year rental contract in one go.

However, moving here would be a bit inconvenient during school days, and he's wondering if he should wait until next weekend to move in.

Once everything is settled, I can invite some friends over for a meal.

As for the next few days, I'll slowly buy some necessary furniture to enrich this apartment.

"Mr. Kijima, you just need to sign here one last time," the agent said, pointing to the last place on the contract where Kijima Yuta's signature was required.

He nodded, sketching out the name he had written countless times.

"Alright!" Seeing that everything was finished, the agent stood up and extended his hand to Yuta Kijima, saying, "Then I wish Mr. Kijima a speedy move into his new home."

Because of the successful signing of the contract, a smile appeared on the agent's usually stern face.

Yuta Kijima reached out and grasped it. "Thank you."

Chapter 91 Strange Neighbors

Yuta Kijima moved.

He's been incredibly busy this past week.

Every day at school, he not only had to face the strange looks from his classmates, but after school he also had to go to various places to buy furniture and other necessities. Originally, Kato Megumi knew that he was moving and wanted to come and help, but he refused by saying that he would come to the new house to celebrate on the weekend.

There's no need to trouble Hui with this.

Early Saturday morning, Yuta Kijima arrived at his new apartment building with the moving company's truck.

Moving companies in island nations are known for their "you get what you pay for" service. If the price is right, they can even replicate the original furniture arrangement in your new home exactly.

Thank you all…

"No, it's what we should do."

"..."

After seeing off the moving company staff, Yuta Kijima closed the door.

Looking back at the cardboard boxes scattered all over the ground, I realized I still had a whole morning to work on.

The apartment is a large, single-level space with huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the distant scenery. The original decoration was simple and elegant, and after he bought some decorations, it has become a qualified residence.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be living here for the next few years.

Let's take the things out of the box in front of us and arrange them properly, even though we didn't bring much with us.

By the time everything was completely cleaned up, it was already lunchtime.

Since he had just moved here, there wasn't much food in the refrigerator, so he put on his shoes and planned to go to the restaurant downstairs to get something to eat.

As he closed the door, Yuta Kijima happened to run into another resident on the same floor who was about to open the door and go inside.

She had striking, well-proportioned features, milky-white skin, and long, flowing black hair that reached past her shoulders. She wore the uniform of Soubu High School, with red ribbon bows tied on either side of her hair.

The girl, carrying vegetables she had bought from the supermarket, was about to open the door when she noticed Yuta Kijima coming out.

The room next door had never been occupied, and this was the first time she had seen anyone come out of it.

Looking at Yuta Kijima's young face, she thought that a family must have just moved here, and this must be their child.

After a moment of eye contact, Kijima Yuta smiled slightly and said, "Hello, I'm Kijima Yuta, I just moved here. Please take care of me from now on."

After all, we're neighbors living on the same floor, so it's really important to maintain a good relationship.

There's a saying: A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.

"Mm." The girl nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, then opened the door and went inside.

"..."

Is that so heartless?

Yuta Kijima scratched his head; he hadn't done anything rude just now.

He wondered how he would get along with such a neighbor in the future, and he was even thinking about whether he should visit the neighbor after everything settled down.

It seems this idea needs to be put on hold for now.

Shaking his head, Yuta Kijima stepped into the elevator.

After finishing his meal, he carried the groceries he had just bought back to the front door.

The restaurants around here are much more expensive than where I stayed before, so I'll try to cook for myself as much as possible from now on and save money where I can.

After entering, he looked around with a hint of satisfaction and put the vegetables he was carrying into the refrigerator.

He sat down on the sofa and did his own thing, turning on the TV first. Even though he didn't watch it, it added some life to the quiet space.

I took out my phone and started thinking about who I should invite to my house for dinner tomorrow.

Looking at the contact information saved on my phone, I saw Megumi, Shoko, Umi, and Tomoya, as well as club members Eriri and Utaha-senpai. That should be the people. Everyone should be free tomorrow.

Are you still missing one person?

Feeling like something was missing, Yuta Kijima went back and went through his contacts again.
