I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

The white exterior walls, dark roof, and meticulously maintained front yard blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment.

This is different from the high-rise apartments chosen by many young people who pursue ultimate convenience and privacy, revealing the stability and tradition of her family atmosphere and the closer family ties.

The van quietly stopped at a secluded street corner a dozen meters from the main entrance of the Kurokawa family home, skillfully avoiding any conspicuous locations that might attract reporters or be noticed by neighbors—something the driver was very familiar with.

"I have arrived."

Akane Kurokawa said softly, her voice carrying a hint of lingering affection and reluctance.

"Ah."

Genkawa Yu nodded, his voice also somewhat low, "Get some rest. You've been shouting for three hours today, your throat must be sore. Remember to drink plenty of warm water."

The two got off the bus one after the other.

The residential streets were quiet at night, a stark contrast to the deafening noise from the martial arts gym just moments before.

The two did not say goodbye in a formal way, but as if drawn by an invisible tacit understanding and unfinished words, they walked one after the other into the Kurokawa family's small courtyard, which was less than ten square meters but was well-maintained.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, with the small pebbles under their feet making a soft rustling sound, the two stood facing each other, speechless for a moment.

"Yu-kun..."

Akane Kurokawa finally spoke, her voice much clearer than during the concert, yet still carrying a hint of barely suppressed nervousness, because she was about to do something even more important.

"Thank you so much for today. Thank you for being willing to help me fulfill that wish."

Yuan Chuanyou looked at her. Under the moonlight, the girl's fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of holy soft light, and her delicate skin shone with a jade-like luster.

“I’m very happy today too, Akane, you don’t need to say that.”

The next moment, Akane Kurokawa took a deep breath.

"I know I've said these words to express my feelings many times, and it might even be a little annoying to Yu-kun, but..."

Her tone became incredibly serious, even carrying an almost pious, all-or-nothing quality.

"I still want to tell you, Yu-kun, I really like you. I like you so much that it makes my heart ache when I see you being close to others. I like you so much that I want to possess you."

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word carried a heavy weight, striking Genkawa Yu's heart.

“We had a kissing scene in the movie before, according to the script and requirements, but that was under the director’s instructions, and it was a kiss between [Kinu Hachiya] and [Mugi Yamano].

She bit her full lower lip slightly, a determined glint in her eyes.

"That's not what I want. I want... a kiss that belongs only to Akane Kurokawa."

"..."

Looking into the girl's watery eyes, Yuan Chuanyou felt a surge of intense emotions welling up inside him as well.

"it is good."

He finally understood his own heart.

Then, Genkawa Yu slowly lowered his head and approached the head that was trembling slightly in the moonlight.

Experience points: 55/100

[Experience score: 60/100]

His approach, carrying the cool night breeze and his own clean, refreshing scent, caused Kurokawa Akane to catch her breath instantly, and the girl instinctively closed her eyes tightly.

Finally, their shadows merged together.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment, and the moonlight flowed silently, like the gentlest witness.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Genkawa Yu was about to end the kiss, Kurokawa Akane, overwhelmed by the immense dizziness and overwhelming happiness, went limp and fell into his arms.

"Akane, what's wrong?"

"Yu-kun... I feel so happy..."

Just as Akane Kurokawa buried her head in Yu Minakawa's arms, a sudden voice rang out from behind.

"Click".

A slight sound of the internal mechanism of the door lock turning was heard, and then the door was opened.

A woman appeared at the door of the Kurokawa family home. She was dressed in ordinary home clothes and had a gentle and quiet temperament. Her eyebrows and eyes were six or seven parts similar to those of Kurokawa Akane, but she had a more mature charm and composed demeanor that came with the passage of time.

Her face was originally beaming with a warm smile as she prepared to welcome her daughter home, as if she wanted to check if Akane Kurokawa had arrived home safely, or perhaps she wanted to kindly invite her inside for some hot miso soup.

However, when her gentle yet sharp eyes clearly saw the two people pressed together in the courtyard, the woman's prepared gentle smile froze instantly, then turned into obvious astonishment.

Her gaze quickly swept over her daughter's blank expression and the man's face, which, though trying his best to remain calm, could not hide his embarrassment.

As an experienced mother and someone who had been through it all, she hardly needed any explanation; in a flash, she understood what had happened in her quiet courtyard.

However, contrary to the expected harsh questioning or awkward silence, Kurokawa Akane's mother's expression quickly and strangely changed after her initial surprise.

The initial shock receded like a tide, replaced by a gleam of curiosity and joy.

Her gaze fell on Genkawa Yu again, and after realizing that she seemed to have seen his face somewhere before, she couldn't help but quickly look him up and down.

Then, her gaze shifted to her daughter, who wished she could immediately transform into a mole and burrow into the ground, completely avoiding eye contact with her, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Akane..."

Kurokawa Aoi finally spoke, her voice carrying the gentle warmth of an elder.

"This must be Genkawa-kun, right? It's the first time we've met. Hello, I'm this child's mother."

"Ahem... Hello, I'm Yuu Minakawa."

Since he had been caught red-handed, Genkawa Yu had no choice but to respond seriously.

"I am very sorry to bother you so late at night and to make you witness such a rude scene."

His voice was inevitably a little dry, but he tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor.

"No bothering you, Genkawa-kun. I made some beef miso soup today. It's so late, would you like to come in and have some?"

Kurokawa Aoi took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"This child's father is working overtime today and isn't home. You should have seen him before, right?"

"..."

Although Kurokawa Aoi's invitation was somewhat sudden, she brought up the fact that she had already met with Genkawa Yu, and that she was the police superintendent Kurokawa Risa, which made the young man a little unsure of what to say.

In this situation, Genkawa Yu's first thought was to politely decline.

At that moment, Akane Kurokawa frantically looked up and whispered, trying to stop her, "Mom! It's so late, Yu-kun..."

She didn't want her sweetheart to be in an even more embarrassing situation, especially since they had been "caught red-handed."

"What's late? It's only a little past 10:30."

Kurokawa Aoi interrupted her daughter with a smile, her gaze lingering on Genkawa Yu, growing more and more satisfied with her.

“Mr. Genkawa, you must be tired after seeing me off so far. Come in and have a bowl of hot miso soup to warm yourself up before you go. I made extra today.”

As she spoke, she stepped aside to make way for him, her posture clearly treating Genkawa Yu as a "prospective son-in-law" who needed to be treated well.

These words immediately put Genkawa Yu in an even more difficult position.

Refusing the kindness of an elder, especially one who is so enthusiastic and has just witnessed her intimate behavior with her daughter, would be extremely impolite, both in terms of manners and reason.

He glanced at Kurokawa Akane beside him, whose cheeks were flushed and whose eyes held a pleading look, and sighed inwardly, knowing that he couldn't avoid this ordeal tonight.

After a while, Genkawa Yu quickly composed himself, put on a polite smile again, and gave a slight bow.

"Well then... I'll bother you for a moment, Qishanlin Private Wine Shop."

"No disturbance, no disturbance, please come in." Kurokawa Aoi waved her hands repeatedly with a smile.

At the entrance, following Akane Kurokawa's whispered instructions, Yu took off his shoes, neatly placed them in the shoe cabinet, and changed into a pair of guest-issued dark blue slippers.

Stepping inside, you are greeted by a blend of the aroma of food and the warmth of a home.

Akane Kurokawa's family of three lived in a very standard upscale detached house with a typical residential layout. The living room and dining room were connected, the space was spacious, and it was spotless and well-organized.

Several delicately painted landscape watercolors hang on the beige walls, green plants are placed in the corner, and a soft knitted blanket is casually draped over the sofa, revealing the hostess's refined taste in life and the warm atmosphere of the family.

This was quite different from the cold and austere atmosphere of many modern apartments, causing Yuu Genkawa's slightly tense nerves to relax a little unconsciously.

"Come, come, Genkawa-kun, sit here."

Kurokawa Aoi warmly led Genkawa Yu to sit on the sofa in the living room, then turned and walked towards the open kitchen. "Akane, quickly go and pour Genkawa-kun a cup of tea. I'll go heat up the soup."

The next moment, Kurokawa Akane responded immediately as if she had received a pardon, and almost ran to prepare tea, temporarily escaping her mother's smiling eyes that seemed to see through everything.

Meanwhile, Genkawa Yu could only sit properly on the sofa, his gaze quickly and subtly sweeping across the living room.

He could sense that the home was full of life, but it seemed to lack a strong sense of presence belonging to the male head of the household.

After thinking for a while, Yuu Minakawa quickly understood. After all, Akane Kurokawa's father was a superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department, and his work was usually extremely busy, so he didn't spend much time at home. His mother, Aoi Kurokawa, seemed to be a cheerful woman with a great zest for life, and she could manage the household very well even when her husband wasn't home.

Soon, Kurokawa Aoi brought over a steaming bowl of miso soup, which exuded a rich aroma of soybeans and beef, and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of Genkawa Yu.

"Here you go, Genkawa-kun, drink it while it's hot. It's a bit chilly today, so warm your stomach."

Her tone was full of elder's concern, and her gaze swept over Genkawa Yu's handsome face.

Almost simultaneously, Akane Kurokawa brought over a cup of freshly brewed sencha and gently placed it next to the soup bowl. She secretly glanced at Yu Minakawa, her eyes filled with a hint of apology and a sweet shyness that she herself was unaware of.

After all, the kiss just now was initiated by Genkawa Yu, and today's visit has further brought the two of them closer.

"Thank you so much, Auntie."

Genkawa Yu accepted the bowl with both hands, politely thanking the bowl. The warmth emanating from the bowl did indeed dispel some of the night's chill and his inner tension.

Then Kurokawa Aoi sat down on the single sofa next to her, placed her hands on her knees, and began her "mother-in-law" style interrogation with undisguised interest on her face.

"Genkawa-kun, to be honest, I'm a big fan of yours!"

Kurokawa Aoi got straight to the point, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

“I’ve watched ‘49’, the movie you and Akane filmed before, over and over again! Your portrayal of the male student in it was truly outstanding! Although your image was somewhat frivolous, your performance was incredibly nuanced. I told Akane back then, ‘This young man is amazing; he’s sure to achieve great things in the future!’”

Genkawa Yu was a little embarrassed by the straightforward praise, and lowered his eyes slightly to respond humbly.
