Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"I'll go open the door for Haimeng," Kato Megumi said calmly, getting up and walking towards the door before he could react.

“Uh, okay…” Kijima Yuta did not refuse. Since it was Kitagawa Kaimu, and Megumi knew her, there was nothing to worry about.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The door opened, revealing the faces of two unfamiliar girls. Kato Megumi and the two girls outside were both stunned.

The two girls outside the door hesitated for a moment as they looked at the cute girl who had appeared before them. One of them asked, "Excuse me, is this the Kijima family's house?"

Chapter 98 Wasn't I here first?

"Yes...yes, may I ask who you are?"

Kato Megumi was taken aback. She didn't recognize the two girls in front of her at all. Were they Yuta's friends?

The two girls in front of me were clearly sisters, but the older one seemed particularly introverted, and the younger one was always in charge.

"We're friends of Kijima-kun. May I ask what your relationship is to Kijima-kun? Where is he?" Nishimiya Yuzuru stared at her suspiciously.

They arrived at Kijima Yuta's house early in the morning. Everything they had seen and heard along the way made them realize that Kijima Yuta's economic strength was extraordinary. They were quite nervous before opening the door, worried that they might not be polite enough.

When the door opened, a cute and beautiful girl I didn't recognize was there. Although she had a vague and ethereal quality, as if she might disappear at any moment, a closer look revealed that she was actually a very charming girl.

But why did he appear at Yuta Kijima's house so early in the morning?

Nishimiya Yuzuru suddenly felt more wary.

Her small hand grasped Nishimiya Shoko's. If Kijima Yuta had been faking it all along, she would now have to protect her older sister.

Seemingly sensing their hesitation, Kato Megumi didn't immediately invite them into the house. Instead, she turned and called out into the room, "Yuta!"

"It seems your two friends have arrived. Could you come over here for a moment?"

"Please wait a moment, Yuta will be here shortly," Kato Megumi said apologetically, glancing at the two girls in front of her.

The older sister seems like a very quiet girl, but she's too introverted. The younger sister, on the other hand, acts like a little adult, and dresses like a boy.

Nishimiya Shoko stared blankly at Kato Megumi. Her pink striped sweatshirt, her smooth and refreshing short hair, and her calm and gentle eyes were undoubtedly a blow to her from all sides.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi noticed the girl who had been staring at her and was a little confused about what was going on.

"Oh, this is my older sister." Seeing that Kato Megumi was concerned about her older sister, Nishimiya Yuzuru explained, "She has a hearing impairment, please forgive her."

Hearing impairment?

Kato Megumi instantly recalled a conversation she had with Kijima Yuta, in which they talked about a friend with a hearing impairment.

"I'm sorry, Hui, this is my friend..."

At that moment, Yuta Kijima, who was inside the room, also came out upon hearing the noise and said to Megumi Kato with a face full of apology.

"Shoko, Yuzuru, welcome to my home."

After explaining to Kato Megumi, he immediately invited the two people outside into the house and introduced them to Kato Megumi and his relationship: "This is my friend Kato Megumi. We went to the same school."

He specifically used sign language to introduce Nishimiya Shoko.

After closing the door, he introduced Kato Megumi, who looked thoughtful, to her: "This is the friend I told you about before. Her name is Nishimiya Shoko, and this is her younger sister, Nishimiya Yuzuru."

"I'm sorry, Hui. I was planning to introduce you to Shoko this week, but I've been busy and forgot."

Kato Megumi shook her head slightly, not feeling that there was anything for Kijima Yuta to apologize for.

"excuse me."

Yuzuru Nishimiya greeted them politely and entered the room, with Shoko following closely behind cautiously.

Because of their family's financial situation, they were quite surprised when they first entered the apartment building; they hadn't expected Yuta Kijima's family to be so wealthy.

Now, upon entering the room and seeing the interior decorations and furnishings, I felt even more nervous, worried that I might do something impolite.

"Yuzuru, just relax. I'm the only one living here now, so don't be too nervous," Yuta Kijima said to Yuzuru Nishimiya, noticing their slight awkwardness.

He led Shoko and Shoko to sit on the sofa, and then said to Shoko in sign language, "Shoko, you don't need to be so reserved. I live alone in this house. My family doesn't live with me."

"Anything will do, I'll go get you a drink."

Even though he said that, Nishimiya Shoko and the other girl were still a little nervous, so he thought he would pour them a drink to calm them down and give them some space to get to know each other.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

After Yuta Kijima left.

Kato Megumi looked at Nishimiya Shoko, who was sitting down, and just then she looked up at him.

"Um... Hello, my name is Kato Megumi. If you don't mind, you can just call me Megumi." Kato Megumi spoke first. She didn't know sign language, and she couldn't just stay in that awkward silence, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and introduce herself.

Although she didn't hear Kato Megumi's voice from the other side, Nishimiya Shoko understood that she was being spoken to when she saw Kato Megumi's lips part slightly towards her.

But she couldn't hear, so Nishimiya Shoko looked to Nishimiya Yuzuru beside her for help.

But actually, there was no need for Glass to ask for help. As soon as Nishimiya Yuzuru heard Kato Megumi's introduction, he spoke up, "Megumi-nee, hello, my name is Nishimiya Yuzuru. My sister can't hear you because of her hearing impairment. I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing." Kato Megumi shook her head gently, a slight glint in her eyes.

She's such a lovely girl, yet this happened to her...

On the other side, Nishimiya Yuzuru had already explained Kato Megumi's self-introduction to Nishimiya Shoko in sign language, and Shoko immediately took out her notebook after reading it.

Hello, my name is Nishimiya Shoko. Nice to meet you.

Kato Megumi looked up at Nishimiya Shoko, who was holding a notebook, with some surprise.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone communicate with her in such a unique way. In the past, she was always worried that others didn't care about her, but now, seeing Nishimiya Shoko, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

So Kato Megumi got up and sat down next to Nishimiya Shoko, took out her phone, and carefully typed a message: "[Hello, my name is Kato Megumi, nice to meet you.]"

After holding it up in front of Nishimiya Shoko so she could see it clearly, Kato Megumi gave a kind smile, afraid of hurting this special girl.

"Kato-san..."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded vigorously, her eyes slightly reddening. She hadn't felt the kindness of strangers for a long time, but as long as she was with Kijima Yuta, she could continuously feel the warmth emanating from him.

Kato Megumi is the same; the moment she learns the inside story, she finds a suitable way to communicate with her.

It's clearly her problem...

After opening up to each other, the two began to talk, but the conversation always revolved around Yuta Kijima.

Although one uses a mobile phone and the other a laptop, their relationship is indeed deepening.

Only Nishimiya Yuzuru remained, sitting to the side with a strange look on her face, watching the two of them. What about me? Why was I suddenly excluded?

So, when Yuta Kijima returned to the living room with four drinks...

What he saw was Megumi Kato and Shoko Nishimiya "chatting" happily, while Yuzuru Nishimiya was staring at him pitifully.

How come you two got so close after only being apart for a short while?

Wasn't I here first?

Chapter 99 Hai Meng's Visit

Wasn't I here first? How come I'm being excluded too?

The result was unexpected.

Only Yuta Kijima and Yuzuru Nishimiya remained on the field, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Why are only you and Shoko here? Didn't your mother and grandmother come with you?"

Seeing that he wouldn't get any results by staring any longer, Yuta Kijima picked out a question that came to mind and asked it.

Nishimiya Yuzuru took a sip of her drink, feeling much less reserved, and said, "They said they wouldn't participate in the gatherings of young people, and just told me to come with my sister."

"Oh." Kijima Yuta nodded. That's normal; people of different generations really don't have much to talk about.

"Hey! Kijima-kun." After relaxing, Nishimiya Yuzuru asked the question that had been lingering in his mind ever since he stepped into the apartment building, "Are you one of those rich kids?"

So as not to disturb Kato Megumi and her sister who were engrossed in their conversation, she deliberately ran over to sit next to Kijima Yuta and whispered in his ear.

……

rich second generation?

If I were a rich kid, why would I need to study?

Kijima Yuta raised an eyebrow, shook his head slightly, and said gently, "You've misunderstood. I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable island boy..."

Yuzuru Nishimiya clearly didn't believe it. Could an ordinary island boy afford such a luxurious apartment and know such a beautiful girl?

She glanced at Kato Megumi; that calm and reassuring demeanor was not something an ordinary person could possess.

"Brother Kijima, you must be joking."

"..." Kijima Yuta was speechless when he heard this address. Although he could sense the goodwill in it, it still sounded strange.

"I'm not kidding. I just wrote a light novel, and I used my own royalties to move this place."

"Light novels?! Are they that profitable? Kijima-kun, what's the name of the light novel you write?"

Have you seen "Your Lie in April"?

"Wh...what!" Nishimiya Yuzuru was surprised. Although she rarely interacted with her classmates, she could hear many boys discussing this novel during breaks, including some female classmates who usually disliked otaku comics.

From the conversations of her classmates, she gained a general understanding of the appeal of this light novel.

Unlike those tacky light novels on the market that are generally eye-catching but lack innovation, this book has an elegant writing style and delicate descriptions of the characters' emotions.

Honestly, how come he gets all the good things?

Is this guy some kind of darling of the world?

"Hehe... Kijima-kun." Nishimiya Yuzuru smiled, his smile full of ingratiation. "Can you teach me how to write light novels?"

"Huh?" Not quite understanding at first, Yuta Kijima hadn't expected her to make this request.

"I also want to make money like you, hehe..." Yuzuru Nishimiya scratched her cheek shyly.

She knew that this request was a bit too much for Kijima Yuta; why would someone be nice to you for no reason? But when she thought of her mother coming home tired every day, she still shamelessly asked for it.

Yuzuru Nishimiya had previously taken many photos with her secondhand camera and posted them online, but the response was lukewarm and they were of no use.

Hearing that Yuta Kijima makes so much money writing light novels has brought back a long-buried thought that's been lurking in my mind.

Upon hearing her reason, Yuta Kijima fell silent.

After all, children from poor families mature early.
