"..."

Upon hearing this name, certain unpleasant thoughts resurfaced in Akane Kurokawa's mind, causing her expression to freeze instantly.

"Akane, you..."

Genkawa Yu looked at her expressionless face and felt somewhat embarrassed.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while. Suddenly, a gentle smile appeared on Kurokawa Akane's face again, and the light in her beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

"...It's okay. After all, Sakurajima-san has acted with Yu-kun before, so it's normal for you to invite her."

"You have no objections?"

Yuan Chuan paused for a moment, feeling that something was not quite right.

"I...have no objection."

Kurokawa Akane nodded, then suddenly exerted force, pulling Genkawa Yu tightly with her supple body.

"But I'm a little unhappy today, so tonight... Yu-kun has to comfort me properly~"

"Is that all?"

Genkawa swallowed hard.

"I mean, you're not allowed on top!"

"...good."

Yuan Chuan You hugged her, and suddenly thought of something very strange.

When Mai Sakurajima and Akane Kurokawa were emotional, they liked to pin him down and make him unable to move.

What kind of quirk is this?

I don't understand.

Volume 3: I Am the Knight of the New Era - Chapter 29: Premiere Begins, But Who's the Real Star? (2-in-1, 6.5k words)

On Friday morning, before 7 a.m., the interior cinema inside the main venue of the Tokyo International Building was already bustling with activity.

Staff members wearing uniform work badges moved about, some adjusting the sound equipment, some setting up nameplates and document bags for the media section, neatly arranging folders printed with the "Love Like a Bouquet" poster, and others checking the red carpet setup.

At the entrance, a dark red velvet carpet stretched from the entrance all the way to the cinema door. It was silent yet heavy underfoot, foreshadowing the star-studded event to come.

The production company behind this film is the behemoth that is Burning Entertainment, so naturally they have high hopes for this premiere.

Although Suoh Shun has been overseeing the post-production of the animated film "Your Name" for the past few months, he still arrived at the scene ahead of schedule today.

He was dressed in a dark gray suit, his tie was perfectly tied, and his hair, which was usually a little casual, was carefully styled, after all, today was a very important formal occasion.

From script polishing to filming and production, "Love Like a Bouquet" was made with the ambition of winning awards, aiming directly at the Japan Academy Film Prize, also known as the "Japanese Oscars".

On the other hand, the pursuit of box office revenue cannot be neglected, so we must go all out.

"Suoh-san, the equipment in the media area has been tested and the camera stands have been reserved."

The person in charge at the site quickly walked to Zhou Fangjun's side and reported the progress in a low voice.

Zhou Fangjun nodded slightly, his tone calm and steady.

"To reiterate, the seats for key media outlets should be near the front. Also, the guests from the three major agencies should be seated in the middle of the second row, making sure they are separated from the fans."

After handing over his work, he took out his phone and dialed the number of Yuan Chuan You.

At this time, Genkawa Yu had already gotten up and was making breakfast for himself and his girlfriend.

Akane Kurokawa was taking a shower in the bathroom. The sound of rushing water could be heard through the door. Yu Minakawa was holding a frying pan in his left hand and answering the phone with his right, his tone carrying a hint of the freshness of early morning.

"Good morning, Suoh-san."

"Good morning, Genkawa-kun."

Suoh Shun's voice came through the receiver, carrying a serious tone.

"The site here is basically ready. Today's situation is a bit special. Among the media that have come, in addition to our partners, there are quite a few who are here with an investigative mindset. After all, you are currently very popular, and with the rumors of your film competing for awards, they all want to dig up some exclusive reports."

He paused, then continued.

“The three major agencies, Jenny Studio, HoRipro, and Amuse, will all send representatives today. They’re ostensibly here to observe the ceremony, but in reality, they’re here to probe your potential and that of Star Engine.”

"So every detail today is important. Your words and actions will be magnified infinitely. Increased exposure will definitely be good for the box office, but there is no room for the slightest mistake."

Genkawa Yu placed the fried eggs on a plate, turned off the gas stove, and spoke calmly.

"I understand, Suoh-san. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"Yes, I trust you won't make any mistakes."

"Okay, see you there."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Chuanyou brought breakfast to the table. Just as he set out the tableware, the sound of water from the bathroom stopped.

Not long after, Akane Kurokawa came out wearing a beige bathrobe, her long blue hair hanging wetly over her shoulders, with water still dripping from the ends.

When she saw the breakfast on the table, her eyes lit up slightly, and her tone was sweet.

"You've worked hard, Yu-kun. I'll prepare breakfast next time."

"Today is a big day, so let me do the hard work."

Genkawa Yu picked up a towel from the side and walked over to help her dry her wet hair, his movements gentle. "Hurry up and change your clothes and dry your hair, then have breakfast. After breakfast, we still need to go backstage to do our makeup and try on clothes."

Akane Kurokawa nodded obediently and then went into the bedroom.

Genkawa Yu glanced at her back, then at his phone. Today's premiere was likely to be quite a spectacle.

"Hopefully, nothing goes wrong..."

A high-end apartment building, a four-person dormitory.

Asakura Toru was the first to get up, and she was sitting in front of her dressing table, carefully putting on her makeup.

The girl chose a light and elegant makeup look today. Light brown eyeshadow shaped her eyes, and the lip gloss was a gentle mauve color, which was neither too flashy nor too understated, but rather complemented her cool and aloof temperament.

"Tou-chan, why are you up so early? Wasn't the premiere at ten o'clock?"

Hina Ichikawa yawned as she entered her room, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was surprised to see that Toru Asakura had already finished dressing.

Fukumaru Koito, who followed closely behind, also looked surprised.

"Yeah, Tou-chan..."

She glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's only a little past seven."

Asakura Toru paused, holding the eyebrow pencil, and said calmly.

"I want to get there as soon as possible."

When Higuchi Madoka entered Asakura Toru's room wearing a silk nightgown, she wasn't as surprised as the other two; she just gave her a complicated look.

As Asakura Toru's childhood friend, she could sense Asakura Toru's recent emotional changes and could also vaguely guess her thoughts.

Especially after Asakura Toru returned from a party at Genkawa Yu's apartment last time, although she seemed to be in a normal mood on the surface, Higuchi Madoka could tell that something was wrong with her after spending so much time together.

"Tou, you look really good today."

Higuchi Enka walked over, sat down next to her, picked up a bottle of skincare products, and said casually.

"What time do you plan to leave? We can accommodate you."

After all, all four of them had received invitations, so they were all really eager to attend the premiere.

"Around eight o'clock, if everyone is too late, I can go first."

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll be done soon!"

Although Hina Ichikawa didn't know why Toru Asakura was in such a hurry, as a teammate, she naturally had to try her best to work together.

"Okay, let's hurry up and wash up, then we can pick out clothes together~"

Fukumaru Koito nodded as well. Higuchi Enka glanced at Asakura Toru, who was putting on makeup, and then turned and went back to her room to get ready.

However, she decided to find an opportunity to talk to Genkawa Yu and find out what exactly happened between him and Asakura Toru.

The girl walked to her dressing table and began to carefully put on her makeup.

Today she chose a puff-sleeved dress, paired with black stockings, which accentuated her long, slender legs. Her makeup was radiant, and every move she made exuded a unique charm.

Madoka Higuchi knew that there were many media and industry people at today's event, and as an idol, she had to be in top form.

The room of Kato Megumi in a detached house.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Kato Megumi had already changed into a light blue short-sleeved shirt and a brown pleated skirt, suitable for summer, with white stockings on her calves, showing off her excellent leg lines.

She tidied her hair in front of the mirror, and after confirming that her makeup and clothes were in good condition, she went to the living room to say goodbye to her mother.

"Xiao Hui, why are you leaving so early?"

Kato's mother came out of the kitchen with breakfast in her hands. Seeing that her daughter had prepared everything, she showed a concerned expression.

"Have you been working too hard lately? You look a little thinner."

Kato Megumi smiled and shook her head gently.

"No, I'm doing well lately. Work is a bit busy, but it's all within my capacity. The current situation is just right."

She didn't want her mother to worry, nor did she want to talk too much about work.

For Kato Megumi right now, being able to stay by Genkawa Yu's side is a very happy thing.

"That's good. Take good care of yourself."

Kato's mother handed him a plastic bag containing sandwiches.

"You can eat if you get hungry on the way. Be careful and come back early after the movie."

"Thank you, Mom. I will."

Kato Megumi took the plastic bag, gave her mother a hug, and then turned and walked out of the house.
