Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Yuzuru immediately turned her back to him, buried her head in Kato Megumi's arms, and her shoulders bobbed up and down.

Kijima Yuta's words filled her with shame, but there was nothing she could do.

She's too young; even if she goes out to work, no one will take her in.

"Ugh……"

Yuta Kijima sighed helplessly, "Megumi, please take care of Yuzuru for me. I'll head out now."

"Uh-huh……"

He didn't stay inside any longer. Now, whenever Nishimiya Yuzuru saw him, a strong sense of guilt would instantly well up in her heart. Besides, they had stayed inside for too long, and it was hard to guarantee that Kitagawa Kaimu, that rascal, wouldn't notice.

……

"Yuta! Where have you been?"

As soon as Yuta Kijima sat down on the sofa, Kaimu Kitagawa asked a question.

“Ah, it’s nothing. It’s just that Yuzuru wants to learn how to write light novels from me. She said she’s thought about it for a long time, but no one has shown her the way,” Yuta Kijima said.

Incidentally, he also expressed it to Nishimiya Shoko in sign language.

Nishimiya Shoko was immediately filled with questions. Had Yuzuru ever thought about writing a light novel? How come she had never seen her put pen to paper before?

Yuta Kijima said this for Yuzuru's sake; otherwise, it would be too shocking for her to release a light novel so quickly.

Let's give Shoko a heads-up first.

He nodded: "Yuzuru has always been interested in this, and even has a story in her heart, but she can't express it herself. This time, seeing that I have made some achievements in this area, she asked me to guide her."

"What? What? Yuzuru actually has the potential to become a light novel author?" Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't sit still and stood up in surprise.

"Are the friends of geniuses also geniuses?" she murmured to herself.

"Could it be?"

"Am I a genius too?"

Then I got led astray again...

The other two ignored Kitagawa Kaimu's mutterings.

Upon seeing Yuta Kijima's statement, Shoko Nishimiya quickly stood up and bowed to him, saying, "I'll be troubling you a lot from now on, Yuta. I never knew Yuzuru had such a hobby."

Nishimiya Shoko smiled. She was happy that her sister had such a "job," but at the same time, she felt a little down.

Already suffering from hearing impairment, she not only couldn't bring any income to her family, but also always caused trouble for her younger sisters.

The sisters' honest personalities are what made Yuta Kijima willing to help; the only trouble is spending a little more time writing each week.

"It's nothing, as long as I can help." He smiled and shook his head.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the doorbell rang again.

Yuta Kijima gestured to Shoko Nishimiya that a guest had arrived, then went to open the door.

The door opened, and standing outside were Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely different from her usual arrogant self. She looked exhausted, and the two big panda eyes around her eyes showed what she had been through.

In stark contrast to Kasumigaoka Utaha was the woman in a black suit beside her, who wore a faint smile—Machida Sonoko.

"Good afternoon, Kijima-sensei." Machida Sonoko said apologetically. "I was planning to come this morning, but Shizuku hadn't finished her manuscript, so it's been delayed until now."

"It's alright, you can drive in."

Yuta Kijima shook his head.

"Good afternoon, junior." Kasumigaoka Utaha greeted him listlessly.

Without even noticing the two unfamiliar beautiful girls in the living room, he asked directly, "Junior, where is your bedroom?"

Even she couldn't stand working on a manuscript all night long; if she didn't catch up on sleep, she really would collapse.

God knows how much willpower she's using to keep going.

Yuta Kijima pointed to the innermost room and said, "If you want to catch up on sleep, you can go there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kasumigaoka Utaha had already started walking, completely ignoring what Kijima Yuta was about to say; all she could think about was the soft, fluffy bed.

"Machida-san... how did you abuse Shiwa-senpai?" Kijima Yuta turned to look at Machida Sonoko, who was smiling beside him.

This is too inhumane.

Where did my sharp-tongued senior go?

Machida Sonoko was completely oblivious, and instead said righteously, "It's not that Shi is unwilling to write because of TAKI-kun's script. I'm being very kind, okay?"

"You know, other editors would lock the author in a dark room and not release them until they finished writing."

"I stayed up all night with Xiaoshi, okay..."

Chapter 103 This is normal, right?

"You're really going all out."

Yuta Kijima glanced at Sonoko Machida and asked in a low voice, "Is Tomoya's script still not finished?"

“TAKI is too demanding. Xiaoshi has been exhausted from working on his scripts lately. I had no choice but to go to Xiaoshi's house and force her to put TAKI aside for a while. What will happen to her own career if this continues…”

Yuta Kijima was stunned. He hadn't expected that Shiwa-senpai would go to such lengths for Aki Tomoya's script. He could only comfort her, "It should be almost finished. Senpai should be able to relax a bit after this."

He hasn't been paying much attention to Aki Tomo and their progress this past week because of the moving.

"Sigh...it's hard to say."

As Kasumigaoka Utaha's editor, Machida Sonoko is clearly a very responsible person, otherwise she wouldn't have become such a good friend to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Machida Sonoko didn't know what to say. She looked around the living room and said with some emotion, "Kishima-sensei is living a very comfortable life."

If she hadn't known that the light novel industry was tough, she would have quit her job to write novels herself.

She glanced again at Kitagawa Kaimu and Nishimiya Shoko on the sofa, her expression becoming subtle, and tentatively asked Kijima Yuta, "Kijima-sensei... are you keeping a mistress? No wonder you want to move to a bigger house."

Yuta Kijima was speechless and said irritably, "Since you've also stayed up all night, why don't you go catch up on some sleep? There's a guest room you can sleep in."

"No need for that. As a working person, staying up late is already commonplace for me, and I can still manage."

"Hmm... whatever you want." Kijima Yuta suggested, "If you can't stay awake later, go to your room to sleep. The bedding there is all new."

"Thank you, Kijima-sensei. I'll go chat with those two kids now."

Seeing Machida Sonoko's nonchalant expression, Kijima Yuta was speechless. Are all working people who have entered the workforce so careless about their health?

The two people who were originally standing to the side immediately sat up straight and carefully made way for Machida Sonoko when they saw her coming.

After all, this person could be considered their elder, and they didn't know her relationship with Yuta Kijima, so both of them tried their best to be polite.

Machida Sonoko slowly walked to the two of them, skillfully switching to social mode, and said with a bright smile, "May I sit here?"

Two young girls, and she's got the reins. It's rare to see an unconventional girl like Kasumigaoka Utaha.

“Of course…” Kitagawa Haimu quickly made way for her, glanced at Machida Sonoko who exuded a strong professional aura, and asked softly, “Excuse me, are you Yuta’s…?”

“Me…” Machida Sonoko glanced at Kitagawa Kaimu, gave her a very high evaluation in her mind, and then deliberately paused.

Seeing Kitagawa Kaimu's intense thirst for knowledge almost overflowing from her eyes, she chuckled and said, "She's Kijima-sensei's editor."

Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback. This should be considered an elder, right? If she didn't treat her well, would it affect Yuta's light novel? She immediately stood up to show respect: "You... hello, I'm Yuta's friend—Kitagawa Kaimu!"

Although Nishimiya Shoko didn't know what the two were talking about, she saw Kitagawa Haimu stand up and thought about standing up as well...

She had only gone halfway when she felt a pressure on her shoulder and sat back down.

“Alright, you don’t need to be so formal. Machida-san is a very easy person to talk to. Just treat her like an equal,” said Yuta Kijima, standing behind Shoko.

"Really?" Machida Sonoko's expression suddenly became excited, and she said with a smile, "Does Kijima-sensei also think I look like a young and beautiful girl?"

"..."

Yuta Kijima ignored the embarrassing editor and said to Kaimu Kitagawa, "As you can see, just be casual with this guy."

Kitagawa Uimeng: "..."

Are all office workers nowadays unserious, or are only the people around Yuta Kijima like this?

Machida Sonoko pulled Kitagawa Haimu back to her seat and said, "Kijima-sensei is right. You should treat me as a normal friend. Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm being left behind by the times."

Then she looked curiously at Nishimiya Shoko, who had seemed a bit slow to react since earlier.

Yuta Kijima stepped forward and explained the situation to both of them.

Upon learning of the unfortunate situation of the gentle girl before her, Machida Sonoko's maternal instincts surged forth. She rushed over, took Nishimiya Shoko's small hand, and said tenderly, "From now on, I will be Shoko's older sister."

A look of confusion flashed across Nishimiya Shoko's eyes. She blinked and looked at Kijima Yuta with a puzzled expression.

"Machida-san, if you want to communicate with Shoko, you'll need a cell phone," Kijima Yuta explained to Machida Sonoko, showing her how to communicate with Shoko.

"Okay, okay, Professor Kijima, you can go ahead and do your work."

Machida Sonoko waved her hand impatiently to shoo them away.

Kijima Yuta: "..."

Perhaps this is due to girls' empathy.

No one can resist Nishimiya Shoko!

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima did not stay to disturb the three any further and returned to the studio.

Inside the room, Nishimiya Yuzuru had returned to normal, but she became nervous again when she saw Kijima Yuta enter.

Upon seeing this, Yuta Kijima couldn't help but smile.

"Is it senior sister?" Kato Megumi looked at him and asked softly.

Yuta Kijima nodded. "Senior and Machida-san, they worked hard all night last night. Senior is catching up on sleep now, and Machida-san is outside chatting with Shoko and the others."

He then turned to look at Nishimiya Yuzuru, "Yuzuru, I will finish writing the first volume in the next few days and send it to you. You should write a copy based on that."

"Actually, this is also a kind of learning. Carefully understand my writing style and don't feel guilty."

"As for the submission, the older sister outside is the editor now. We are very good friends, so you can rest assured about everything else. The only thing is that you should keep it a secret from your family."

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Yuzuru exchanged a glance with him and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Yuta-nii, I'll cover things up at home."

At home, my mother and grandmother usually focus their attention on my older sister and don't pay much attention to her, so this task is relatively simple.
