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

As she walked downstairs, she looked up at the clear sky, took a deep breath, and felt a surge of anticipation.

Mai Sakurajima's apartment.

The girl is standing in the huge walk-in closet, choosing what to wear today.

Her mother, Sachiko Sakurajima, sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of black tea, looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Mai, are you really going to that premiere?"

Sakurajima Sachiko's tone carried a hint of helplessness, "Given your current status, every move you make is under scrutiny. If you attend Genkawa-kun's premiere, all sorts of rumors might spread."

She wasn't against her daughter getting too close to Yuu Minakawa, after all, he was no longer the fledgling actor he once was, but a genuine, popular actor with a strong following and the president of a company.

If they really do get together, she won't object.

But the key point is that the female lead in this movie is not Mai Sakurajima, which will definitely lead to speculation from the perspective of netizens and fans.

"Yeah, it's not illegal for me to go to Genkawa-kun's premiere, so why can't I go?"

Mai Sakurajima took out a black A-line long skirt from the dressing room. The skirt was knee-length and had a simple and elegant design that was both graceful and dignified.

She turned around, compared herself to the mirror, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Looking at her daughter's resolute expression, Sachiko Sakurajima sighed softly: "I know I can't persuade you, but you must remember that whatever you do, you must be mindful of your actions and not give others any leverage against you."

She paused, then said, "Didn't you also film a romance movie with Genkawa-kun? When you're doing promotions, Mom won't care how you promote it."

"Really? You said it yourself."

Mai Sakurajima turned around, a sly smile suddenly appearing on her face.

The next moment, Sakurajima Sachiko's voice turned cold, "Mai, tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Genkawa-kun now?"

She was unaware that her daughter had fallen into someone's clutches, so she wanted to know the exact answer.

"Just good friends."

"good friend?"

Looking at the undisguised affection in her daughter's eyes, Sachiko Sakurajima said, "Your mother has been through this before, do you think I can't guess?"

"What is the answer in Mom's heart?" Mai Sakurajima asked in return.

"you..."

Sachiko Sakurajima frowned slightly, but looking at the expression on her daughter's face, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, she's not a child anymore, and continuing to discipline her would be disrespectful.

"Mom, I know what I'm doing."

"Hmph, I can't control you anymore."

Sakurajima Sachiko crossed her arms. "If you really get together with Genkawa-kun, I won't have any objections. After all, he's a very outstanding young man."

"But remember to let me know as soon as the time comes!"

"Okay, Mom."

Mai Sakurajima smiled meaningfully, then turned around and continued trying on clothes.

Even if she couldn't outshine the female lead today, she still hoped that Genkawa Yu would look amazed when he saw her.

Both women and men are visual creatures.

Mai Sakurajima has always been well aware of this.

Meanwhile, at Kasumigaoka Utaha's apartment.

The room was a mess. As a seasoned homebody writer, Kasumigaoka Utaha always loved to stay in bed.

However, in order to attend the premiere today, she struggled to get out of bed.

Sitting on the bed, the girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. It took her a while to come to her senses.

She slowly got up, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains. The glaring sunlight made her squint.

After washing up, she walked to her desk and picked up the premiere tickets on it.

"Hmph, I heard that many of the people attending the premiere today are women. I wonder what interesting things will happen."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her wardrobe and selected a comfortable casual outfit.

She doesn't like dressing too formally, feeling that it restricts her.

For her, the most important thing about attending the premiere today was watching the movie, not walking the runway.

Moreover, in terms of the relationship between Δ氵事冥棋二齍二丝丝？, she currently does not have the "qualification to participate".

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her phone; the lock screen wallpaper was her book, "Calling for Love in the Center of the World," though this was a special edition.

The book cover bears the signature of Yu Genkawa.

Let's go...

After packing, the girl picked up her handbag and walked out of the apartment with her head held high.

At this time, a large number of fans had already gathered outside the Tokyo International Forum building.

They held up support signs for Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa, held glow sticks in their hands, and their faces were beaming with excited smiles.

For fans, today's premiere is a rare offline event, and being able to see their idols up close is an incredibly happy thing.

Yuki Natsukawa was among them.

As a major fan of the [Yuchi] CP, she has always been very influential in the fan community.

Today, she was wearing a support T-shirt with a poster of "Love Like a Bouquet" printed on it, and holding a huge support sign with a photo of Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa.

"Yuki-nee, you actually got an invitation! I'm so envious of you!"

A female fan next to her looked on with envy when she saw the invitation in Yuki Natsukawa's hand.

Tickets for this premiere were very limited to fans; aside from those invited by the media and celebrities, only half of the tickets were released for fans to choose from through a lottery.

Fans who want to participate need to register and submit their mobile phone number first. They will be randomly selected and only those selected will be eligible to pay. In addition, the tickets are linked to the mobile phone number and personal information. Mobile phone verification is required upon entry, which completely eliminates scalpers.

Fans who manage to win tickets are basically chosen ones.

After all, there were over 100,000 people participating in the lottery, but in the end, only less than 50 people were selected.

Yuki Natsukawa smiled and waved the invitation in her hand, her tone tinged with pride.

"Yes, I've always been very lucky."

Actually, she was lying.

As an official fan leader, I know that, just like the last promotional event, this ticket was specially sent by the artist management department of [Star Engine].

Once these big fan leaders arrive at the scene, the footage they film will be used for promotion and publicity.

Given these individuals' influence among fans, it's a perfect way to promote the film, a win-win situation. Therefore, the official team wouldn't hesitate to offer them a spot on the invitation.

There were many fans at the scene, including fans of the [Yuichi] pairing, as well as many fans of Yu Minakawa and other pairings.

Despite their different stances, everyone shares a common goal: to cheer on Yuu Genkawa.

"I'm so looking forward to the movie! I heard Yu-kun's acting in it is amazing!"

"Me too! I've already prepared tissues; I heard it's a tearjerker romance movie."

"I hope to see Yu-kun up close today, and it would be best if I could get his autograph!"

Fans were buzzing with excitement, filled with anticipation for the movie and their idol.

Inside a high-end detached house, Kurokawa Risa stood in front of a full-length mirror, carefully adjusting his suit and tie.

This dark blue custom-made suit was specially prepared for him today; it was both formal and not old-fashioned.

"Honey, Akane is calling." His wife, Kurokawa Aoi, walked in with her phone in hand.

Kurokawa Osamu answered the phone: "Akane?"

"Dad, have you set off yet?"

Akane Kurokawa's voice came through the receiver, with some background noise, as if he were in a car.

"We're just about to leave. How about you?"

"Yu-kun and I are already on our way to the venue. Once you arrive, just show your invitation letter and the staff will escort you in."

"understood."

Kurokawa paused for a moment, then asked, "Akane, are you nervous today?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the daughter's cheerful laughter.

“A little, but mostly I’m excited… This is my first movie with Yu-kun, and I really want you and Mom to see it.”

"We are also looking forward to it."

Kurokawa Osamu's voice softened, "Alright, that's enough. Let's head out now. See you at the venue."

See you at the venue.

After hanging up the phone, Kurokawa Osamu handed the phone to his wife and continued adjusting his tie. Kurokawa Aoi looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Honey, what do you plan to say to Genkawa-kun when you see him today?" she asked.

How did you know I wanted to talk to him?

"Hehe, don't I know you well enough?" Kurokawa Aoi chuckled. "If you're just watching Akane's movie, you'll probably be going back to the police station this afternoon."

"But if you take a day off, it means there might be other things going on."

"Seriously, you've learned to deduce things too?" Kurokawa Osamu sighed. "I'm planning to have a chat with Genkawa-kun about things between men."

"What are you planning to do..."

Kurokawa Aoi wanted to say something, but seeing her husband's expression, she swallowed it back.
