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

She took a deep breath and answered, word by word, "I think you might have dialed the wrong number. Or perhaps you're possessed by a character from your latest novel? Anyway, thank you for your 'kindness,' but I don't need it. Goodbye."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Seiji Fujiwara another chance to speak.

However, a second later, the phone lit up again.

It's a text message from that number.

【Kato-kun, my condition remains valid.】

These words, like a small pebble, were thrown into the still waters of Kato Ena's heart, which were already rippled by the harassment from her relatives.

But it didn't cause a huge uproar; it just made her feel annoyed and bothered.

She didn't reply, but simply dragged the number into her blacklist without any expression.

"boring."

She uttered two words softly and put her phone down.

She didn't feel she needed help, much less to engage in such a dirty deal.

The troubles you're facing now are only temporary; they will eventually pass.

They are students after all.

Kato Megumi underestimated the darkness within society.

……

……

The second day is a rest day.

Without having to go to school or face anyone, Kato Megumi slept in late, a rare treat for her.

However, while she was still sound asleep, a knocking sound even more violent than the day before woke her up.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Kato Megumi! Open the door! Stop playing dead!"

It was Uncle Kato Jiro's rough roar.

Kato Megumi frowned and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was only 8:30 in the morning.

'...That's really perseverance.'

She silently complained to herself, then slowly got out of bed, changed into her pajamas, and walked to the entryway.

Through the peephole, she saw that her uncle and aunt's faces had lost yesterday's pretense, revealing only naked arrogance and smugness.

Beside them stood a man in a suit with a fake smile.

"Kato Megumi! I advise you to be sensible!"

Kato Jiro pointed at the cat's eye and shouted, "The court will send a summons soon! We have already applied for guardianship of you through legal means! Once the court makes its official ruling, we will be your guardians!"

------

Thanks to the generous contributors "六道雨轩" and "救死不扶生" for the monthly tickets! I'm at a loss.

Chapter 125 Kato Megumi: Fujiwara-sensei, I need your help (2/2)

Kato Kazuko chimed in shrill voice, "That's right! From now on, this house, and everything your parents left behind, will be under our control! If you behave, we'll give you a little living allowance every month, otherwise... hmph!"

A court summons? Guardianship?

Kato Megumi's mind went blank for a moment.

How could it be so fast?

Didn't they just say yesterday that they were going to find a lawyer?

The man with the fake smile cleared his throat and said in a hypocritical tone, "Ms. Kato Megumi, hello, I am Attorney Tanaka."

"According to current Japanese law, minors must have a legal guardian if both parents are deceased."

“Your uncle and aunt are currently your most suitable, and only, choice. The judge will also support us.”

Hearing this, Kato Megumi was both shocked and furious.

But she forced herself to calm down.

She knew that it was precisely at times like these that she couldn't panic.

"I won't open the door," she replied through the door, her voice even more resolute than yesterday. "We'll talk about guardianship after the court ruling!"

"You! You brat! You really don't know what's good for you!" Kato Jiro cursed angrily.

"Fine! Fine! You've got guts! Let's see how long you can hide in there!" Kato Kazuko also shouted coldly.

A burst of curses and chaotic footsteps came from outside the door.

A few minutes later, the three seemed tired and chose to leave.

Kato Megumi leaned against the door, listening to their voices fade into the distance, but the peace she felt yesterday was gone, replaced by a cold unease.

At the other end of the street, lawyer Tanaka was calming down the furious Kato couple.

"Don't worry, you two." He gave a confident smile. "She's just being stubborn right now. Once the official court verdict is issued, we can go in legitimately. What can a minor like her do?"

Upon hearing this, the anger on the Kato couple's faces vanished, replaced by greedy and excited expressions, as if the 20 million yen, the property, and the savings of Kato "090" Megumi's parents were all already theirs.

Once you gain custody, there are plenty of ways to transfer assets!

Attorney Tanaka also smiled broadly; once this case was completed, he would receive a substantial amount of legal fees.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the top floor of a luxury apartment building in Kyoto.

Seiji Fujiwara was leisurely sipping his morning tea when the tablet in front of him displayed an update on the Kato Megumi family's information from Blue Wing Security Company.

"Oh? You actually hired a lawyer and even got a court summons? You're pretty quick." He said, but a playful smile appeared on his face. "But for me, it's a good thing."

He picked up his phone, intending to send another message to Kato Megumi, but found that the text message could not be sent.

The number has been blacklisted.

Seiji Fujiwara was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"She has quite a personality."

He casually switched to another number, edited a text message, and sent it over.

"Kato-kun, I heard your troubles have escalated. Do you need my help now?"

Kato Megumi, who was sitting anxiously in the living room, heard her phone beep, picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.

She was initially suspicious, but the moment she saw the text message, she immediately knew who it was.

It's Seiji Fujiwara again!

"...Your intelligence gathering skills are quite impressive, Fujiwara-sensei." Kato Megumi pursed her lips.

The text message didn't make her angry, but rather a little tired and irritable, as well as wary of her life being spied on.

I thought about it.

She replied, "No need! Please stop bothering me!"

Then, without hesitation, I also added this new number to my blacklist.

there.

Seiji Fujiwara sent another text message, which resulted in a red exclamation mark popping up. He paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly.

"Blocked again?" he muttered to himself. "Looks like I'm still far from ready."

He opened the security company's internal software on his phone and sent a message: "Red Knife, dig out all the information about that lawyer Tanaka and Kato Megumi's relatives."

"Yes, sir," Red Knife replied quickly.

……

……

at dusk.

A letter was delivered to Kato Megumi's mailbox.

She carefully went outside, opened the letter, and found it bore the emblem of the Tokyo District Court.

Summoning notice!

Kato Megumi's hands instantly turned icy cold.

She took the letter, returned home, closed the door, and with trembling fingers dialed the court's contact number on the letter.

After some questioning, she confirmed the authenticity of the summons.

The moment she hung up the phone, Kato Megumi's heart sank to the bottom.

She wasn't stupid; she knew that once things reached the courtroom, all her hopes of getting away with it were dashed.

"How to do?"

Kato Megumi clenched her fists and muttered to herself anxiously.

at this time.

Her phone screen lit up.

It was another unfamiliar number.

"Kato-kun, have you received the letter from the court? The trial is in five days, and it seems you have no chance of winning. Do you need my help?"

Kato Megumi looked at the text message with a helpless expression.

Is this Seiji Fujiwara monitoring her 24/7?

So perverted!

But this time, she didn't block the number.

Kato Megumi realized that she might really need help.

But the price for Seiji Fujiwara's help was becoming his woman?

This condition made her feel humiliated and resentful.

She bit her lip, her expression hesitant.

After a long time, I chose to bury my head in the sand—I closed the text message interface, tossed the phone aside, and pretended not to see it.

……

……

【Kato-kun?】

Seiji Fujiwara sent another text message and found that he had not been blocked.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his lips.

"No reply, but no blocking either... Are they hesitating?"

"It seems the time is almost right."

……

……

the other side.

Kato Megumi did not sit idly by and wait for her fate.

Beneath her personality lies a resilience that is completely opposite to her plain appearance.

After the initial despair, she quickly took action, turned on her computer, and searched for relevant legal provisions and channels for seeking help.

She found the community's legal aid center, the school's student protection office, and even the phone numbers of several non-profit organizations.

The next day, after repeatedly confirming that her uncle and lawyer were not nearby, she put on a hat and mask and cautiously went out.
