Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

As mentioned before, Japan has a polarized attitude towards ACG culture, making it even more difficult for Aki Tomoya to promote his plan in his class.

Seeing this, he cast his vote in the divination room without hesitation.

The results are already obvious.

Maid cafes were never going to work out from the start. The girls in Yuta Kijima's class weren't really into this kind of culture, or rather, most of the female students didn't like the activity.

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked and extended her delicate hand: "Junior, may I see what activities your class has going on?"

Yuta Kijima: "Sure."

Then I handed the phone over.

"The fortune-telling room?" Senior Shiyu looked intently at her phone screen, then chuckled softly. "Most people choose this one. Hmm...? Junior, you chose this one too?"

"Yes, the result is already obvious, there's no need to vote for anything else."

Yuta Kijima nodded.

Utaha-senpai continued reading: "As expected, every class has the maid cafe option." Her tone was clearly disdainful.

Yuta Kijima felt a little embarrassed.

As expected, the vast majority of girls hate this option.

"Huh? This ACG seminar?" Senior Shiyu tucked a strand of hair behind her white earlobe and complained, "This... this isn't an activity suggested by Ethics-kun, is it?"

Although she was asking a question, she already had the correct answer in her heart.

Yuta Kijima nodded with a smile in his eyes: "It's Tomoya, otherwise there's no one else."

As she spoke, Shiyu handed over her phone: "As expected of Ethics-kun..."

Completely disregarding other people's opinions, they continue to do as they please.

Yuta Kijima put his phone back in his pocket and looked at his senior: "Okay then, senior, send your novel to my phone later."

"I'll take this time to look at it carefully for you, but I can't really offer any guidance. You're practically my senior in this field."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but bite her pink lips lightly and roll her eyes at Kijima Yuta.

"Junior, you really know how to say nice things, but it seems I'm already far behind you."

She was overshadowed by a younger boy in her area of ​​expertise.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings were quite complex.

"it is finally over!"

At this point, Machida Sonoko finished her work and exclaimed in relief that she had finally completed her tasks.

Yuta Kijima glanced at Yuzuru Nishimiya and Shoko instinctively, but seeing that they were still in a daze, he didn't disturb them.

Indeed, having such an experience at this age is likely to leave a lasting impression.

Although she was a newcomer, thanks to Machida Sonoko's connections and the inherent strength of "Tsuki ga Kirei," the initial print run was set at 10,000 copies.

Although the timeline has been delayed, it has allowed enough time for pre-launch promotion.

"Okay! Let's go soak in the hot springs next!"

Machida Sonoko lightly covered her cherry lips with her right hand, smiling happily. Now she no longer needed to worry about the author resources she had. As long as Kijima Yuta, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Nishimiya Yuzuru continued to perform steadily, she wouldn't have to worry about her future work.

Chapter 120 Hot Spring Trip

Upon learning that Machida Sonoko was planning to go to a hot spring hotel, Nishimiya Yuzuru immediately became excited.

Yuta Kijima naturally wouldn't refuse; he had to seize this opportunity to get free funding from the publisher.

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on Kijima Yuta, not understanding why Yuzuru had suddenly become so agitated.

He explained to her in sign language, "Machida-san is planning to take us to a hot spring inn."

"Huh?" Nishimiya Shoko immediately came to her senses.

Yuta Kijima nodded.

"I can enjoy some of Yuzuru's charms today." Senior Shiyu crossed her arms and smiled. "I haven't fully recovered from that all-nighter I did to finish my manuscript the other day."

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been to a hot spring," Yuta Kijima said, scratching his head.

Machida Sonoko immediately got up, wanting to fly to the hot spring pool right away.

"Let's go, let's go. I happen to know a hot spring hotel nearby with really good service. If we go there now, we can make it in time for lunch."

"Let's go then," Yuta Kijima said with a smile. "Let's all relax today."

……

Machida Sonoko can drive to this hot spring inn not far from Chiba in a short time.

On the way, Yuta Kijima specifically searched for information about this store and found that many people were satisfied with their experience there. It also has private hot spring baths, since sometimes a large number of people crowding into one pool can pose health risks.

Who knows if anyone adds something to the hot spring when they soak in it?

"Should we book a private hot spring villa?" Kijima Yuta asked Machida Sonoko, who was driving beside him, as he swiped his finger across the screen.

"Of course! This hot spring inn is very thoughtful; some courtyards even have separate baths for men and women," Machida Sonoko replied, staring at the navigation.

She glanced at Kijima Yuta again, her expression playful, and said, "Sorry, although I know Kijima wanted to book a private mixed-gender hot spring, there are other people here."

Yuta Kijima remained expressionless: "Please don't do that. I think it's fine as long as we're separated."

"Junior must be regretting it to the point of vomiting blood right now," Kasumigaoka Utaha said mercilessly, resting her chin on her hand as she watched the scenery flashing by outside the window.

"But don't worry, junior. Since you helped me, I'll give you a signal to come and collect your perk when we're at the hot springs later..."

"..."

Nishimiya Yuzuru blinked, looking at this and that, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Is this the world of mature older women?

Not an enemy at all.

As for Nishimiya Shoko, she maintained a smiling expression as she looked at everyone; clearly, she had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yuta Kijima didn't get involved in the double flirting between Sonoko Machida and Utaha Kasumigaoka, who were actually birds of a feather, and surprisingly talented in this area.

time flies.

The hot spring hotel right in front of us is already visible.

After parking the car.

"Everyone must be hungry." Machida Sonoko led the way forward, since she was the only one who had been here before.

"There's a buffet restaurant here. Let's eat first and then go to the private hot spring."

It was indeed lunchtime, and no one objected.

This hot spring hotel truly lives up to its reputation as a top choice online. The decor is distinctive from the moment you enter, and the guests inside seem exceptionally relaxed and at ease. You can see staff members waiting to serve you everywhere.

Machida Sonoko walked ahead, looking at the crowd around her, and began to recount what she had seen and heard on her last visit here.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was already bustling with people.

Machida Sonoko pointed to an empty table next to her, "Let's meet here later. Now, everyone can help themselves to whatever you want to eat."

After saying that, he pulled Nishimiya Shoko down to sit and instructed Kijima Yuta: "Kijima, please take good care of Yuzuru. Although there is no danger here, there are too many people now, so you still need to be careful."

Seeing that Machida Sonoko had already made the arrangements, Kijima Yuta didn't say much and took Yuzuru straight to the food area.

He had just been thinking of staying with Shoko, since there were just too many people here, and Shoko herself had a hearing impairment, so he didn't feel comfortable letting her go out to choose food, nor did he feel comfortable leaving her alone at the table to wait for them.

It must be said that although Machida Sonoko is usually a bit eccentric, she can still make serious choices when faced with a situation.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the two of them, then at Kijima Yuta and Yuzuru, who hadn't gone far yet, and after thinking for a moment, she followed Kijima Yuta.

"Senior?" Noticing that someone was staring at him from behind, Kijima Yuta turned around and saw Senior Shiwa following behind the two of them.

Senior Shiyu pouted: "What? Don't you welcome me, junior?"

"No, not at all." Yuta Kijima smiled. "What would you like to eat, senpai? I'll get it for you."

……

In no time, the plates in both of Kijima Yuta's hands were full of food.

As for Yuzuru and his senior, one of them was holding fruit and the other was holding dessert.

Return to your seat.

"You're finally back." A voice filled with resentment, like that of a starving ghost, rang out. "I'm starving."

Yuta Kijima raised the food in his hand: "Eat something to fill your stomach first, then go get more."

Since it's a buffet, it's best to eat within your limits. Although I don't know if there are any rules against wasting food here, we should still be mindful of saving food.

Machida Sonoko didn't stand on ceremony and quickly picked up the grilled meat from the plate with her chopsticks.

Yuta Kijima turned to Shoko and asked in sign language, "Shoko, is there anything you like to eat? I'll bring it over when I get it later."

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head; she didn't have many requirements when it came to food.

If I had to say something, it would be that I love eating dishes made by Yuta Kijima himself.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima focused on eating.

……

Had lunch.

Machida Sonoko took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and couldn't help but complain, "It's still not as good as Kijima's."

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her pink lips slightly, glanced at Kijima Yuta, and nodded in approval.

After finishing the last dessert, Nishimiya Yuzuru nodded hurriedly while chewing.

Lastly, it was glass's turn. She didn't eat much; she had already finished and was waiting for the others.

"We should find a chance to go to Kijima's house for a proper meal next time." Seeing that everyone agreed with her, Machida Sonoko laughed heartily.

"Welcome everyone to my home!" Yuta Kijima said, nodding.

He didn't care about this matter, or rather, he thought that it was more lively to eat with more people.

“Alright, let’s go to the private hot spring now.” Machida Sonoko shook her phone, her eyes sparkling. “Soaking in the hot spring after dinner is the ultimate treat.”
