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

Genkawa Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to walk towards his rented room.

"Nakahara-san, please calm down. I'm going to take a shower first, and then I'll go to the office. Can we talk face to face then?"

"You... never mind, then remember it quickly."

Kazuya Nakahara had no choice but to try to calm himself down.

"it is good."

At 10 a.m., Genkawa Yu arrived at Hoshino's office with his schoolbag on his back.

He skillfully arrived at the agent's office floor, only to find that Kazuya Nakahara was not at his workstation, but standing by the window with his phone, seemingly making a call.

"Zhongyuan Sang, I've arrived."

“Shh——”

His agent turned his head and gestured for silence with his hand, then continued to whisper to the person on the other end of the phone.

"I'm already thinking of a solution. Yuanchuan will be here soon. We'll go to your office together in a bit to discuss how to handle this matter."

"Yes, yes, we will absolutely not let this matter affect the firm's overall plans."

"I see!"

After finishing the call, a weary-looking Kazuya Nakahara looked helplessly at the blond young man in front of him.

"Tell me, what happened yesterday?"

So, Genkawa Yu recounted what had happened the previous night to Nakahara Kazuya. After he finished speaking, the man's expression became very complicated.

After a long silence, the manager suddenly looked up into his eyes and asked, "Yuanchuan, tell me the truth, have you already thought of a backup plan?"

"I guess so, since I thought of this a long time ago." Yuan Chuan You smiled. "If you don't want to be manipulated by others, you can only make yourself stronger."

What's your backup plan?

"Aren't we going to see President Kato together later? I'll talk to her after we meet her."

"...Okay, let's go then."

The manager glanced at his artist and a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him.

Despite facing such a huge career crisis, Genkawa Yu did not show any signs of agitation.

His nonchalant demeanor wasn't feigned; he genuinely didn't seem to care about the "blacklist" from Jenny's agency.

Could it be... that this guy has some other background?

Kazuya Nakahara couldn't figure out the answer to this question, so he could only keep his doubts to himself for the time being.

The president's office at Hoshino's office.

This was the third time Kato Arashi had looked at her ladies' watch. Her fingertips tapped out a restless rhythm on the solid wood table, revealing her unease.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, so she called out in a low voice.

"Please come in."

The next moment, the office door was gently pushed open, and two people walked in with different expressions.

The manager in front looked a little nervous, but the male artist behind him remained calm, as if he wasn't the one being "blacklisted."

"President, I've brought Genkawa with me."

"Well, Nakahara, why don't you go sit over there for a while? I'd like to ask Genkawa what he thinks first."

Kato Arashi is decisive and efficient, and never likes to beat around the bush.

"it is good..."

After her manager sat down on the other sofa, Genkawa Yu finally met the eyes of the person in charge of the talent agency, and took the opportunity to look at her appearance.

Kato Arashi is a woman in her early thirties. She has shoulder-length short hair that reveals her smooth forehead and a pair of delicate earrings. Her eyes are slightly upturned, and her gaze is very sharp. She exudes a captivating aura of someone who has been in the business world for a long time.

"Mr. Genkawa, let's get straight to the point. Do you know what the situation is right now?"

"I know, Jenny's agency has threatened to blacklist me."

"Hmm... to be honest, I don't know what's keeping you so calm, but the problem you're facing is really troublesome."

Kato Ran looked the blond youth up and down. "Jenny's Agency is definitely not a company like ours to compete with. Since they've made that statement, it means you may never get any work again."

"I hope you are mentally prepared for this."

"Heh, Jenny Entertainment certainly has a lot of influence in the entertainment industry, but they can't possibly control everything in Japan, can they?" Genkawa Yu calmly retorted.

"That's natural."

The female president of Hoshino's agency looked at the young man's calm eyes, and after a while, she suddenly spoke seriously.

"Actually, some people in the company have already advised me to give up on you, but I think I can give you a chance."

"Judging from your expression, you probably have some secret weapon up your sleeve. Let's be frank. If your secret weapon can convince me, I will do everything in my power to protect you!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Kazuya Nakahara, who was sitting on the other side, shudder, but even Yu Genkawa was somewhat surprised.

As the young man had originally anticipated, the higher-ups at Hoshino Agency would definitely choose to abandon him after learning about this, since it was just a medium-sized entertainment company and had no right to compete with Jenny Agency.

Seeing the somewhat surprised expression on Genkawa Yu's face, Kato Arashi smiled slightly, her mature and beautiful face revealing a hint of a female entertainer's charm.

"Yuanchuan-kun, you are the first person in our company to be blacklisted by Johnny & Associates. I don't even need to investigate to guess that you rejected their invitation, am I right?"

"Correct."

"Then this matter is very simple. If you can't get an invitation, you want to blacklist me. This actually proves the value you have, so why would I be foolish enough to give up a cash cow that is rightfully mine?"

Kato Arashi spoke without restraint, but her attitude made Genkawa Yu instantly understand something.

This woman is actually a complete gambler!

What she wants to see is whether she is worth betting on; otherwise, she will simply give up.

Hmph, just what I wanted!

Genkawa Yu thought for a moment and then immediately spoke.

"You really are a person of great courage, completely different from what I imagined before."

"Haha, it's still uncertain whether I'll protect you. If we're going to go against Jenny's agency, I need to convince the rest of the company to make the same decision."

Kato Arashi nodded slightly, steer the conversation back to the main event they had just discussed.

"I understand."

The young man nodded slowly, then took out a half-finished copy of "Love Letter" from his bag. He slowly pushed the manuscript in front of Kato Arashi and said, word by word.

"This... is my secret weapon."

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star: Chapter Twenty-Six - A Story Titled "Love Letters"

When Genkawa Yu pushed the half-finished "Love Letter" in front of Kato Arashi, the female president, known for her composure, visibly raised an eyebrow, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This is..."

"This is a novel I wrote, and I've only finished half of it." Genkawa Yu's tone was very calm. "The power of language is ultimately limited. You can take a look at the story first."

"The novel you wrote?"

Kato Arashi couldn't help but think of what the young man had just said: "Jenny's Agency shouldn't be able to control everything in Japan." His curiosity was immediately piqued.

What type of story is it?

"The theme of the romance novel is unrequited love."

Genkawa Yu smiled slightly, "As the president of the agency, I believe Kato-san can judge whether this story is good or bad."

"Okay, let me take a look first."

At this moment, the manager, Kazuya Nakahara, couldn't hold back either. He quickly walked over to Yu Genkawa and watched Kato Arashi turn the pages with the young man. The only sound in the office was the rustling of the paper.

As the notebook is opened, a story set in a snowy country slowly unfolds before the female president.

Hiroko Watanabe lay on the snow, snowflakes landing on her eyelashes.

She received a reply to the letter she sent to heaven; the girl with the same name as her fiancé wrote in the letter.

"My name is also Fujii Itsuki."

Two people named Fujii Itsuki, it turns out that Yi Qili is the protagonist of this story.

Young Fujii Itsuki always liked to slip library cards into books that no one read, and write the three characters "Fujii Itsuki" all over them.

The young girl, Fujii Itsuki, thought it was just a prank with the same name, until twenty years later, when she found Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" in a pile of old books in her alma mater library.

When she opened the yellowed library card, there was a pencil sketch on the back—a profile of her from her middle school days.

To her shock, the librarian produced an entire box of library cards.

“We call it the Fujii Tree Whirlwind. That boy left his name in all the books that no one borrowed.”

Each library card has Fujii Itsuki's name written on it.

The girl finally realized that he wasn't writing his own name, but rather calling her name over and over again.

The first half of "Love Letter" is only about 50,000 to 60,000 words long, and Kato Arashi finished reading it in less than an hour.

But after reading it, she didn't speak immediately; instead, she gently touched the corner of her eye.

These plots don't have any earth-shattering twists and turns, but they are like tea brewed in lukewarm water, gradually seeping into people's hearts.

Those unrequited loves hidden in the details, those moments of unspoken words, those little secrets that only they themselves understand, are written so realistically that it seems to allow one to smell the warmth of bygone days.

After a long while, Kato Arashi finally raised his head and looked at Genkawa Yu's face. The young man stood upright with a calm smile on his handsome face, without any anxiety or unease, as if he had already made up his mind.

"Did you really write this book?"

"Yes."
