Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

'If it weren't for this chance eye contact, I would have completely forgotten about this person.'

Seiji Fujiwara recalled the eye contact they had just exchanged.

She was a short, refreshing, quiet, and beautiful girl.

She doesn't possess the breathtaking beauty of Kasumigaoka Utaha, nor the dazzling flamboyance of Eriri.

She was wearing the same uniform as everyone else, had a plain brown bob haircut, delicate features, and a calm expression.

In such an emotionally charged setting, her "ordinariness" and "plainness" actually constituted a unique kind of "extraordinary".

Like a pure white canvas, it forms a stark contrast with the surrounding paintings that are painted in various colors.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Seiji Fujiwara unlocked his phone and sent a message.

"Check out Kato Megumi, a first-year student in Class A at Toyosaki Academy. Her family background, interpersonal relationships, and recent situation..."

Now that I've encountered her, there's no doubt I should make this beautiful girl my own.

……

……

Half an hour later.

Seiji Fujiwara left Toyonosaki and sat in a car.

His phone vibrated slightly, and a report from Blue Wing Security Company appeared on the screen.

[Blue Wing Security Company], this is the system's final reward he received after completely winning over the Ichi sisters and bringing STARRY under his control—an absolutely loyal private armed force composed of the world's top mercenaries.

Today, this force is not only his shield, but also his claws for seizing resources.

He opened the report and scanned the lines of text.

"Target: Megumi Kato."

Family background: Both parents died in an international flight crash a month ago.

"Financial situation: Received a total of 2000 million yen in compensation from the airline and insurance company, and also owns a detached house in Setagaya Ward."

"Recent situation: After learning about the compensation, the target's uncle 'Kato Jiro' and aunt 'Kato Kazuko' have been frequently contacting the target under the guise of 'taking care' of him, and have repeatedly hinted that the target should hand over his property for them to 'keep in safekeeping', but the target has refused each time."

"Risk assessment: Based on surveillance footage and information analysis, it is highly likely that the target's relatives will take further actions, including legal or illegal means, in the near future to seize the target's property."

After reading the report, Seiji Fujiwara was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips.

What a God-given opportunity!

Orphaned and alone, he holds a huge fortune, yet is still being eyed by a group of greedy and wicked relatives.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation!

“Red Blade,” Seiji Fujiwara said calmly, his gaze still fixed on Megumi Kato’s photo, “keep a close eye on her relatives, especially the lawyers who have contact with them.”

"Yes, sir." Red Knife answered without any questions, just like a precise machine.

Seiji Fujiwara leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and murmured softly.

He was already looking forward to seeing what kind of adorable expression that transparent girl would make when he forced her into a corner and made her sign the contract that sold herself out.

……

……

the other side.

The tram moved smoothly, and the scenery outside the window kept receding.

Parking at the station.

Kato Megumi walked off the platform.

Unlike her classmates, she chose to go home.

Pushing open the door, a sense of stillness filled the air.

"I am back."

She spoke softly to the empty entryway, in her usual voice.

Only deathly silence answered her.

It wasn't that my parents were neglecting me, but rather that they had passed away a month ago.

"Ugh……"

Sigh softly.

Kato Megumi changed her shoes, walked through the living room, and stopped in front of the low table in the center of the living room.

On the table, there was a black photo frame and a small incense burner next to it.

The photo frame contains a black and white picture of my parents.

It was edited from photos they took during their trip last year.

In the photo, the father, wearing black-rimmed glasses, smiles gently and elegantly; the mother, holding the father's arm, smiles tenderly at the camera.

"Father, mother..."

Kato Megumi stared at the photo for a while, then took out three incense sticks from the cabinet next to her and lit them with a lighter.

Wisps of smoke rose, carrying a hint of sandalwood's tranquility.

She placed the incense sticks in the incense burner, clasped her hands together, and bowed deeply to the photograph.

A month ago, her parents were traveling abroad when they were involved in a plane crash on their return flight.

Over the past month.

Kato Megumi had cried out most of her tears; now, all that remained for her was an empty sadness.

This sorrow, like a damp rainy season, requires a long time to process.

"Dad, Mom... I'm going to be in second grade this year."

She spoke softly to the photograph.

"Everything is fine at school and at home."

"Don't worry, I will live a good life."

That being said, "living well" is easier said than done.

Sudden.

A sudden, urgent doorbell ring interrupted her thoughts.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

Kato Megumi frowned.

She walked to the entrance and looked out through the peephole—there were two hypocritical faces she didn't want to see.

Uncle Kato Jiro, Aunt Kato Kazuko.

'Ah, today's 'routine greeting' segment has begun,' Kato Megumi thought to herself.

After learning about the huge compensation of 2000 million yen, the "relatives" who had rarely seen each other in the past few years began to visit each other almost every day under the guise of "taking care" of each other.

Their purpose is obvious.

Kato Megumi didn't open the door; she just stood there quietly, her eyes unwavering.

"Xiao Hui, are you home? It's your uncle and aunt!" Kato Jiro called from outside the door in what he thought was a very kind voice. "You'll be in second grade soon, right? We came to see you and brought you your favorite strawberry daifuku!"

Kato Megumi's gaze fell through the peephole onto the cheap plastic bag in his hand.

'Hmm, I remember my favorite is matcha daifuku. Looks like I haven't done my homework properly,' she silently corrected herself.

Seeing no movement from inside, Kato Kazuko grew impatient, but still forced a smile and chimed in, "Yes, Megumi, open the door! We're worried about you being home alone. Why don't you move in with us? It's so nice to have a lively atmosphere at home."

"No, thank you," Kato Megumi replied politely but distantly through the door. "I prefer quiet."

The smiles of the two people outside the door froze.

"You child, how can you be so insensible!"

Kato Jiro's tone hardened. "We're your family, and we're doing this for your own good! It's so dangerous for a minor like you to have so much money and live in such a big house! We'll help you keep your money safe and return it to you when you grow up. That's the safest way!"

Finally, the truth was revealed.

"No need, Uncle." Kato Megumi's voice remained calm. "I will take good care of the things my parents left behind. If there's nothing else, please go back."

· ······Request flowers·· ······

The blunt order to leave ignited Kato Jiro's anger.

"You...you ungrateful brat!" His voice instantly turned frantic. "You think you're safe just because you're hiding in there? Let me tell you, don't push your luck!"

"Kato Megumi! You just wait!" Kato Kazuko also dropped her pretense and cursed viciously.

A series of hurried footsteps and hushed conversations came from outside the door, as if the two were discussing something as they walked.

Kato Megumi vaguely heard phrases like "...that lawyer...spend some money..." but the voice was very soft and quickly disappeared into the hallway.

She didn't care too much.

In her view, as long as she doesn't open the door and ignores them, they will naturally back down after making a fuss for a while.

She turned to go back to the living room when her phone screen suddenly lit up.

A text message from an unknown number caught her eye.

"Do you need help, Kato-kun?"

Kato Megumi frowned slightly as she looked at the text message.

The address "Kato-kun?" indicates that the other person is from the school.

But who is it?

How could you know about her family?

Before she could think it through, the unknown number dialed directly.

The bell rang in the quiet room.

Kato Megumi hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button: "...Hello, who is this?"

“It’s me, Seiji Fujiwara.”

On the other end of the phone came a male voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment.

Seiji Fujiwara?

A brilliant writer who made a startling statement at his graduation ceremony... someone from another world with whom I have no connection?

0...0

Her first reaction was not surprise, but vigilance.

"...Fujiwara-sensei?" she addressed him with a distant yet respectful tone. "May I ask what you need? And how did you get my phone number?"

"hehe,"

Seiji Fujiwara chuckled on the other end of the phone. "Kato-san, a smart girl like you should know that for some people, getting someone's phone number isn't difficult at all."

"As for why I came to you... it's very simple."

He paused, then, in a matter-of-fact tone, uttered words that made Kato Megumi's brain freeze.

"Because I've taken a liking to you. Be my woman, and I can help you get rid of those two annoying flies."

Kato Megumi was stunned.

She felt there might be something wrong with her hearing. Or perhaps the world had suddenly become absurd.

Seiji Fujiwara, who shines brightly in the eyes of countless people and is hailed as a "once-in-a-century" genius with countless halos, actually... would say such things to me in such a vulgar and shameless tone, like a third-rate yakuza?

The stark contrast made her forget her anger; she only felt it was utterly absurd.

"Fujiwara-sensei,"
