Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"You're already a light novel author, and now you want to draw manga too. How are we ordinary people supposed to live?"

Kitagawa Kaimu looked at him helplessly. "You're so amazing, who else would have the courage to stand by your side?"

Sometimes it's not just guys who feel inferior when they're around girls who are successful; girls feel the same way when they're around outstanding guys.

Yuta Kijima thought it was fortunate that she hadn't seen what had just happened, but he was still a little embarrassed by her praise. "Not at all. Everyone has the talent to shine in their own field."

“Take cosplay, for example, I know absolutely nothing about it.” He scratched his head and continued, “You envy me only because this profession is more widely recognized. In fact, as long as you continue to follow your hobbies, you can also achieve great success.”

Yuta Kijima enjoys watching cosplay and knows some famous cosplayers. Famous cosplayers have achieved considerable success. There is no inherent hierarchy in professions; it's just that the public automatically categorizes them.

Based on what he's heard, it seems that it takes even more effort to become famous in this industry.

Hearing Yuta Kijima's praise, Kaimu Kitagawa was somewhat surprised. "Huh? I didn't expect Yuta to say that, but people outside look at this hobby with strange eyes."

"Now I only do cosplay with my friends in private, because the way men stare at me is just too much to bear."

“Hmm…” Yuta Kijima nodded, “That’s also why your circle isn’t easily accepted by others.”

"Whatever, I'm just trying to satisfy my own hobby anyway. As for what others think, let them think what they want." Kitagawa Kaimu said indifferently to Kijima Yuta.

She's not an innocent little girl anymore, and she won't be fooled by those guys at conventions with dirty thoughts. Now she makes cosplay costumes purely out of love.

If someone appreciates her cosplay at a comic convention, that's the highest compliment you can give her.

"I wonder if Hai Meng can draw?"

Yuta Kijima wants to offer Kaimu Kitagawa a job, but he doesn't know if she'll accept it.

After practicing with Eriri for a few more weeks, his drawing skills should be good enough to graduate. At that time, he will have to start preparing to draw manga, but this will greatly increase his daily workload.

Drawing comics is not like writing light novels, where you just need to keep up with your thoughts. It's a job that requires a lot of effort to polish. Finding a suitable comic artist assistant can make things much easier for him.

He will have more and more things to do in the future, and he will need the help of many capable people.

Kitagawa Kaimu often takes on part-time jobs and designs clothes, so she should have some basic skills in drawing.

"Oh, me?"

Kitagawa Kaimu exclaimed in surprise. Although she had used a graphics tablet to draw sketches of clothing, she would not readily admit that she could draw.

There are many branches in the field of painting, and she feels that she usually only dabble in it.

Yuta Kijima, oblivious to Kaimu Kitagawa's inner thoughts, continued, "Yeah, if you have some basic drawing skills, you can become my manga artist assistant in the future."

"Meals are included... accommodation not included, but the salary will satisfy you." Training a suitable comic artist assistant will be of great help to his future work.

However, after careful consideration, he crossed out the option of covering up, because there are differences between men and women, and this must be taken seriously.

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Kaimu was also startled and asked uncertainly, "Me...me? But I usually only draw costume design sketches, it's just for my own amusement."

Yuta Kijima doesn't care about these things. Having a foundation is naturally better, but even without a foundation, as long as you work hard, you can accept it. As long as you are willing to learn, you can get the hang of the job in no time.

"It's okay. The work of a comic artist's assistant isn't tiring. It's just some simple outlining and coloring, and when I'm busy with work, you just need to help me with some trivial things."

Seeing Kitagawa Kaimu's hesitant expression, he smiled and said, "It's alright, you can take your time to think about it. I probably won't start drawing manga for another month."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded solemnly, lacking her usual carefree attitude. After all, it was a suggestion that was hard to refuse, and her fear was that she wouldn't be able to handle the job.

If I mess this up, I'm worried I won't even be able to stay friends with them.

She has decided to practice her painting skills properly when she gets back.

Seeing that Kitagawa Kaimu had taken his suggestion to heart, Kijima Yuta nodded in satisfaction. Rather than finding a stranger to help him, he felt more at ease with someone he knew well.

"Could you demonstrate your sewing skills now? I'm quite curious," Yuta Kijima said gently, then got up from the sofa.

Hopefully, Hai Meng will see the underwear inside and put it away carefully.

Surely we shouldn't have to show it to him in front of his eyes.

"Of course!"

When the topic of cosplay came up, Kitagawa Kaimu became excited and nodded enthusiastically.

"Because my primary goal right now is to perfectly recreate Shizuku Kuroe, I've brought the corresponding fabrics today." She tidied up the fabrics, occasionally holding up a piece to explain.

Kitagawa Kaimu smiled; he could talk endlessly about anything related to this topic.

With her careful explanation, Yuta Kijima also learned about Shizuku Kuroe's place in Kaimu Kitagawa's heart.

She's someone who works hard for her dreams.

"Oh! There's this too, I almost forgot." Kitagawa Haimu exclaimed in surprise, holding up a piece of clothing with her delicate hand.

"..."

Wasn't this the thing he had accidentally touched just now? Yuta Kijima's mind went completely blank.

You just openly and brazenly raised it like that?

Do I need to be introduced to this as well?

Seeing Kijima Yuta's frozen expression, Kitagawa Kaimon covered his mouth and chuckled, "Hahaha, Yuta, what kind of lewd things are you thinking about?"

"This is a swimsuit, a swimsuit!" She said it twice to emphasize the category.

Swimsuit? Why did you bring a swimsuit?

Even if Kitagawa Kaimu said that, he still couldn't understand why Kitagawa Kaimu brought this piece of clothing.

"Well, in order to make the most suitable cosplay costume for myself, I need to take precise measurements of my body. But I'm a little embarrassed to ask anyone else for help, so I was thinking of asking you, Yuta, for help."

Kitagawa Kaimu clasped his hands together and pleaded.

Chapter 94 I also like watching cosplay.

"How can I help you?" Kitagawa Kaimu's request left him speechless.

“Of course it is…” She paused for a moment, then quickly continued, “It is that I’m wearing this bikini, and you come and measure me.”

what! ?

Did Yuta Kijima even hallucinate? Was it really Kaimu Kitagawa who said those words?

He was very confused. Had their relationship progressed to the point where he could see her in a bikini?

He took a step back, staring in shock at Kitagawa Kaimu, who was still holding up a bikini.

As Yuta Kijima kept his gaze fixed on Kaimu Kitagawa without saying a word, her face gradually flushed, but she still spoke defiantly.

"It's normal to wear a bikini at the beach, so why can't we wear bikinis in everyday life?" Despite her slightly flushed face, Kitagawa Kaimu tried to remain calm as she put on clothes that suited her better.

Yuta Kijima was at a loss for words to explain. What Kaimu Kitagawa said was indeed correct, but after all, they were men and women.

Is it really possible to get him to help?

Kitagawa Kaimu leaned forward towards Kijima Yuta, staring intently into his eyes, "Yuta, you're surprisingly innocent."

She winked playfully, her breath sweet as orchids, and asked curiously.

"What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with whether I'm innocent or not."

Yuta Kijima sighed helplessly, "Does Umimu have such audacity?"

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed slightly.

Although she didn't really care about being seen in a bikini by others, she was still a little nervous in front of a guy she had always liked.

But unexpectedly, beneath Yuta Kijima's handsome appearance lies such a pure heart.

She's becoming more and more envious of Hui-chan.

Yuta Kijima didn't offer to help, but simply looked up at his phone to check the time and said, "There's no need to rush this. After all, you haven't learned how to sew yet, have you?"

"You should study more before you talk about it."

Kitagawa Kaimu exhaled, her eyes sparkling, and said with amusement, "Alright then, I'll show you my skills first."

"But I don't have much talent for sewing, and I haven't made any real progress yet. If I can't finish it this time, I'll have to give up the anime convention next month."

The light in her phoenix eyes dimmed; nothing was more painful than feeling inadequate.

But she quickly rallied, clenching her fist. "But I won't give up! I'm determined to perfectly recreate Shizuku in real life!"

"I also believe that Hai Meng can successfully realize her dream."

Yuta Kijima smiled gently.

This made Kitagawa Kaimu feel embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Okay...okay, sit next to me and I'll show you my skills, but you can't laugh at me, okay?" Kitagawa Kaimu beckoned to Kijima Yuta.

Kitagawa Kaimu picked up a small piece of fabric and glanced at Kijima Yuta beside her. "Because my skills aren't very good, and there's no sewing machine here, I can only sew some decorations for Shizuku."

Although she didn't know why Yuta Kijima wanted to see her sew clothes, she was still willing to demonstrate.

Is he trying to learn how to make clothes?

Probably not.

"Okay, look carefully, this should be like this... and then... here..."

"..."

Since it was just some decorative lace for clothes, she sewed it up in just a few minutes.

"What? Yuta, do you understand now?"

"Hmm... not bad."

Sewing lv1: 5/100

Kitagawa Kaimu picked up another piece of fabric and began embroidering intently.

"Look carefully, this one is more complicated."

“Hmm…” Yuta Kijima nodded in response.

Watch Kitagawa Kaimu's hand movements intently; observe the movements with your eyes, and gain experience from them.

Gradually, his thoughts began to shift to other things, landing on Hai Meng's hands. Her fingers were long and slender, and her skin was exceptionally fair, like a freshly peeled egg. He could also clearly see the pale blue veins on the back of her hand.

"How about it?"

Kitagawa Kaimu stopped what she was doing and asked.

Yuta Kijima silently looked away and nodded. "I think your skills are pretty good. How could you not make the cosplay outfit you wanted?"
