Anime Crossover: My Online Romance is Megumi Kato

"Alright, let's go back now. My back is starting to hurt from standing for so long." Kijima Yuta walked around to Kato Megumi's side and took her hand.

Kato Megumi blushed slightly and tried to break free by gently pulling on his hand, but when that failed, she let him hold her.

"I went to the school festival all day and nothing happened, Yuta, are you talking nonsense again?" Her cheeks puffed out slightly, her eyes full of disbelief.

"The back injury might be intermittent."

"Liar..."

……

In a warm and comfortable living room.

"I used very little force, it won't hurt."

"Really? You always like to lie to me..."

Kato Megumi gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, looked helplessly at Kijima Yuta, and said lightly, "When did I lie to Yuta?"

"You didn't complain of pain when I examined you last time, and now it's already scabbed over. What are you talking about?"

She gazed intently at Yuta Kijima, who was lying shirtless on the sofa.

Because he was lying down, Yuta Kijima didn't see Ena's slightly gloomy expression next to him, and continued to shout in a flowery manner.

"It really hurts a little. Hui, you need to massage it gently, now is the best time for recovery..."

His head swayed leisurely as he lay there, waiting for Hui's cool, soft little hands to press on his back.

"Really?" Kato Megumi looked at him and chuckled inwardly, but asked casually.

"Uh-huh!"

"Snapped!"

Kijima Yuta, who had been lying down, immediately sat up, his eyes full of confusion. "Megumi, why did you suddenly take a picture?"

Kato Megumi glanced at Kijima Yuta with a faint look in her eyes, pursing her cherry lips as she watched him perform.

Gradually, cold sweat appeared on Yuta Kijima's forehead.

"I was wrong." Yuta Kijima promptly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Where is wrong?"

"...Actually, it doesn't hurt that much. You can use a little more force if you want."

"Is this all there is?"

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Kijima Yuta scratched his head, a little confused. Had he done something to upset Megumi before?

He glanced at Kato Megumi, whose face remained expressionless, and inwardly groaned.

I should have known better than to tease Hui.

"Megumi? Don't you think you should give me a little hint?" Yuta Kijima opened his mouth, hoping that Megumi could give him some pointers.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly and pursed her pink lips: "Yuta, is it your fault?... It's just that you always think of strange things."

"So that's what Hui meant?" Yuta Kijima was slightly annoyed.

Kato Megumi sat down next to Kijima Yuta and said slowly, "Yeah, I feel like Yuta wasn't like this before."

Yuta Kijima raised an eyebrow and explained, "Isn't it only in front of Megumi that I can truly let my true nature shine through..."

"is it?"

Kato Megumi toyed with the hair by her ear, a sly glint in her eyes: "So this is the true nature that Yuta usually hides."

Yuta Kijima twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but say, "I've noticed that Megumi is different now than before."

The old Hui Ke wasn't as cunning as she is now. She used to be a gentle and virtuous wife and mother type. How come she suddenly seems a little cunning now?

"That was forced out by Yuta..." Kato Megumi said softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It's not because of me, is it..."

"Of course it is! It's because Yuta is always thinking about lewd things."

"..."

It's dangerous for you to say that in my house.

What do you mean I'm always thinking about lewd things?

"Turn around," Kato Megumi said softly, no longer arguing with him.

"Oh, um." Kijima Yuta turned around and sat down. He didn't use flowery language like before, but said quite seriously, "Actually, it's almost healed, but it's a little itchy after the scabs have formed. I can't help but want to touch it."

Given his physical condition, it was really just a minor abrasion. Now, apart from a little bruising around the wound, the swelling has basically disappeared after a good night's sleep.

"Is everything really okay?"

"Uh-huh."

"So I don't need to come back later?"

"Uh...no."

...

It has to be said that Kato Megumi has now completely figured out Kijima Yuta's inner thoughts. Although he is always thinking about some inexplicable things, she can't bring herself to hate him.

"Well, actually, I feel very safe as long as I'm by Hui's side."

Feeling Hui's soft little hands massaging his back, Yuta Kijima started chatting aimlessly.

To be honest, he always needs to be more careful around other girls, but he only feels truly at ease with Hui.

Very reassuring.

Yuta Kijima didn't know what Megumi was thinking, but since he spoke from the heart, it was hard not to feel his heart race a little.

In fact, he wasn't the kind of womanizer you see in cheesy light novels who falls in love with every girl he meets, so he always had a serious and proper demeanor around other girls.

Kato Megumi behind him didn't speak, but the sensation on his back was still there, so Kijima Yuta continued.

"Actually, although I've changed a lot recently, it's also brought with it all sorts of work, and sometimes it's quite tiring..."

"I'm not joking, you know. I feel safe and secure around Hui, which is why I want her to stay by my side forever..."

After saying that, Yuta Kijima waited anxiously for Megumi's reaction, feeling his blood pressure rising.

After a moment of silence...

"Hui?" If it weren't for the massage sensation behind him, he would have almost thought Hui was gone.

"Um…"

A familiar, calm voice sounded from behind.

"Hey, what about Hui? What does Hui think of me?"

This "hmm" was almost unbearable for Kijima Yuta. He turned around and decided to start a conversation, wanting to hear her opinion of him.

Chapter 145 Spiritual Guide

"Hmm, what's my opinion of Yuta?"

Kato Megumi slowly stopped what she was doing. She gently lifted a strand of her hair that had fallen down and tucked it behind her ear, revealing her small, delicate earlobe.

"When I first met Yuta online, I thought he was just an ordinary student like me."

"Was that your original view?"

"Yes, but when I learned that you came to Chiba to study alone, I really admired Yuta's courage..."

Yuta Kijima never imagined that Megumi, who was already young and lovely, would envy him so much back then, when he was just a gloomy male high school student whom no one liked.

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Kato Megumi smiled gently and said, "I'm not as outstanding as Yuta thinks. I'm just an ordinary female student who's nothing special."

"I don't have the courage to live alone like Yuta does."

She felt as if she had returned to her school life before she met Yuta Kijima, where every day was an ordinary routine, except for the occasional shopping trip with her sister, which was just a straight line between two points.

What others don't know is that when she sees other people's exciting campus life, she also feels envious. This is a little fantasy of every ordinary young student.

After meeting Yuta Kijima, her life seemed to undergo a dramatic change. She gradually gained recognition and attention, and her circle of friends increased at a visible rate.

With a thousand thoughts racing through her mind, Kato Megumi continued casually, "Who knew that Yuta would completely change afterward? Not only did he shed his previous gloomy and decadent aura, but he also became a light novel author, becoming increasingly popular, and the number of girls around him kept increasing..."

As she spoke, a hint of helplessness crept into Kato Megumi's calm tone.

"Sigh~" Kato Megumi said lightly, "I feel that if Yuta were willing..."

I'll probably be forgotten.

After all, which of the girls around you isn't beautiful and talented?

Yuta Kijima sighed. So this is how Megumi's thoughts have changed over time. "Does Megumi think I'll forget her in the future?"

Kato Megumi gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "After all, I'm just an ordinary girl..."

"How could that be?" Yuta Kijima gently patted Megumi's head and said softly.

"..."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, letting Kijima Yuta stroke the top of her head, a feeling of sadness welling up in her heart as if she were to lose Kijima Yuta.

Seeing this, Kijima Yuta turned his head to look at Megumi, who had already quieted down and become well-behaved, and felt a pang of pity in his heart.

"Why is it impossible? Actually, I'm just an ordinary person with absolutely no talent." Kato Megumi sat down next to Kijima Yuta, gently biting her lip, and said with a hint of sadness.

"Hmm... but the thought of having Megumi by my side brings me an unprecedented sense of peace..." Kijima Yuta felt that he should tell Megumi to stop making unrealistic guesses and just be direct now.

He tilted his head slightly to look at Kato Megumi and said softly, "Actually, only Megumi thinks this way. You see, when Haimeng, Shoko, Yuzuru, and even Utaha-senpai and Eriri are around you, they become much more composed."

Kato Megumi turned her head helplessly to look at Kijima Yuta to the side, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Looking at the calm-looking Megumi, Yuta Kijima felt a little uneasy. How come this was different from what was shown in the TV drama?

Didn't what I just said sound nice?

Then he stared intently at Kato Megumi, until even Megumi felt a little flustered by his gaze...

At this moment, both of them could feel each other's tension and anxiety.

However, the feelings between the two gradually increased under this subtle atmosphere.
