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

So he spoke.

"Asakura, how about this?"

"When I get home tonight, I'll check the remaining work schedule with my agent. I promise you, no matter what, I'll definitely make time for you one day this month, okay?"

Only the last part of the first ten episodes of "Kamen Rider Fox" remains. According to the current filming schedule, it will officially premiere in early October.

Before and after the broadcast, Yuu Genkawa will not only have to catch up on the remaining filming tasks, but also participate in various promotional activities, making his schedule even more packed than it is now.

I can probably only squeeze out one or two days of free time at the end of September, and I also have to wait for further notices from the Tokyo Film Academy Awards. The awards ceremony is a must-attend event, and I simply can't refuse.

"Okay."

Asakura Toru's eyes lit up, and she nodded, looking very excited. "Then it's a deal, no backing out."

She had barely finished speaking when she asked another question.

"Are we going to the...love hotel I chose?"

"..."

Seeing her like this, Yuan Chuan You helplessly rubbed his head, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence.

"We'll see when the time comes. If you really want to go, that's fine too. I've never been to a real love hotel before."

Having been there once, you might gain some experience that you can definitely apply next time.

"it is good."

The next moment, Asakura Toru suddenly glanced around warily, and after confirming that no staff or other actors were paying attention to them, he tiptoed and gently pecked Genkawa Yu's cheek.

"I'm going to look at the script first."

As the sun sets, its golden rays bathe every corner of the set, casting a gentle glow on the props and figures.

Genkawa Yu looked in the direction Asakura Toru had disappeared and sighed softly.

While the idea of ​​having multiple partners is certainly appealing, balancing relationships with three girls and finding time to spend with them amidst a busy work schedule is an extremely challenging task.

Time management, time management

As night falls, the streets of Tokyo light up with dazzling lights.

Filming for "Kamen Rider Fox" has finally wrapped up. Yu Genkawa removed his makeup, changed into casual clothes, and said a brief goodbye to Masashi Sato and Kazuto Masashi before heading to the Star Engine office in his van.

Kato Megumi and Nakahara Kazuya were already waiting there, their desks piled high with various documents and schedules, all related to his upcoming work arrangements.

"Mr. Genkawa, this is a list of tasks for the near future. Please take a look."

Kato Megumi pushed a printed schedule in front of him, her tone efficient.

"There are less than ten days left in September, and the schedule is indeed quite tight. We need to plan carefully."

Genkawa Yu nodded. As a popular celebrity, his schedule was filled with various work arrangements, leaving him with almost no free time.

"First and foremost, filming 'Kamen Rider Fox' is the top priority right now."

As his manager, Kazuya Nakahara spoke first, his tone serious.

"At the current pace, we will have to stay on set for the next five days to ensure that the filming is completed and that the broadcast date is not delayed."

He always puts his professional work as an artist first, especially leading roles in large-scale IP dramas that can enhance national recognition, which he cannot afford to fail in.

Genkawa Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I understand that. I will devote myself to filming for the next five days and try to finish the remaining scenes ahead of schedule to squeeze out more time."

He knew that only by finishing this part of the filming as soon as possible could he have more energy to deal with subsequent publicity and other work.

"Then there is the Tokyo Film Academy Awards ceremony, scheduled for mid-October."

Kato Megumi then added in a very gentle tone.

"As is customary, nominees need to prepare their formal wear and suits in advance. Genkawa-san, as a nominee for multiple awards, your image is of utmost importance. Moreover, Kurokawa-san is also nominated for Best Actress. You two need to go out together to have your formal wear and suits customized. This way, you can create a joint promotion when you attend the event, which will also help with the subsequent box office of 'Love Like a Bouquet'."

“Okay, I will coordinate with her schedule and make time to get it customized as soon as possible. Please contact some high-end custom brands and select a few reputable ones for us to choose from.”

Customizing a suit with Akane Kurokawa was both a work requirement and a rare opportunity for the two of them to spend time together, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"In addition, there are three advertising endorsements, two magazine shoots, and an invitation for a radio interview."

Kazuya Nakahara picked up the documents on the table and reported them one by one.

"The advertisers and magazines are very interested in the popularity of 'Love Like a Bouquet' being nominated for film awards and hope to complete filming as soon as possible. I have tentatively scheduled it for the 27th and 28th. The crew has no filming tasks on these two days, so we have plenty of time."

Genkawa Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, let's go with this schedule."

Advertising can bring a lot of revenue to the company and also maintain its exposure, so Yuan Chuanyou would naturally not refuse. [Star Engine] needs sufficient funds to support the expansion of various businesses, and these high-paying advertising endorsements are naturally not to be missed.

"There are also many invitations from variety shows, including some nationally popular ones, all wanting to invite you to record."

Megumi Kato handed over a thick list of offers, "but considering that 'Kamen Rider Fox' is about to premiere, Nakahara-san and I both feel that it is not appropriate to take on variety shows for the time being."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too."

Genkawa Yu agreed wholeheartedly, speaking with a firm tone, as it was indeed a very simple principle.

Actors need to maintain a certain sense of distance and boundaries with the audience. Frequent appearances on variety shows will only solidify the audience's perception of the actor's image. If the audience remembers the interesting characters from the variety shows when "Kamen Rider Fox" airs, it will be difficult for them to connect with the drama.

Moreover, "Love Like a Bouquet" is still showing in theaters, maintaining a low-key and composed image, which is more in line with the film's artistic tone.

With all the work arrangements confirmed one by one, Yuan Chuanyou was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and saw a text message from Mai Sakurajima.

"Yu-kun, I have two days off at the end of the month. I was wondering if you have time?"

Uh... I almost forgot about Yi Lingqi's E-company teacher at noon.

Yuu Genkawa reflected on it and realized that besides Toru Asakura, Mai Sakurajima also needed to spend some time with her. However, Akane Kurokawa already knew about this, so it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.

He sighed softly, then glanced at the already arranged itinerary.

"Kato, please reserve two days of vacation for me this month, the 29th and the 30th. I need to take care of some personal matters."

He did not explain the specific reason, but as an artist and company president, even if such a request was made, Kato Megumi and Nakahara Kazuya would never ask too many questions.

"Okay, I'll adjust my schedule and reserve these two days for no more work."

After confirming the matter, Genkawa Yuuji typed a reply to Sakurajima Mai.

"Mai, I'll have about a day at the end of the month. I'll let you know in advance."

The other party replied very quickly, sending a reply to Yuan Chuan You immediately.

"I'm really looking forward to it, Yu-kun."

Although he didn't know who Yuu was texting with, Kazuya Nakahara couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard him ask for a break.

"Yuanchuan-kun, you've been working too hard lately, filming, handling company affairs, and preparing for film awards. Aren't you exhausted? Shouldn't you take a few more days off?"

In his eyes, Genkawa Yu is not only an artist who needs his assistance, but also the core pillar of [Star Engine]. His biggest worry is that Genkawa Yu will ruin his health due to overwork.

"Of course not."

Looking at Nakahara Kazuya's worried eyes, Genkawa Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and gently shook his head.

"These two days are enough. I just want to take a break and adjust my state so that I can better devote myself to the work ahead."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Kazuya Nakahara didn't try to persuade him any further, and simply nodded.

"Okay, then you must get some rest. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell me immediately. Kato-san and I will keep an eye on things at work, so you don't need to worry too much."

After all the arrangements were made, Genkawa Yu said goodbye to the two of them and got into the nanny van heading home.

The car was dimly lit, and Yuan Chuanyou leaned back in his seat, resting with his eyes slightly closed.

He kept calculating his time allocation at the end of the month—accompanying Asakura Toru to Chiba on the 29th, having dinner with Sakurajima Mai on the 30th, and Kurokawa Akane, as his live-in girlfriend, didn't lack company at the moment, but he could take her on a trip during his next long vacation.

As his fame grew, Yuu Genkawa had less and less free time.

In a sense, this can be considered a happy kind of trouble.

The van drove smoothly through the night, passing through bustling streets, and finally arrived at the apartment building where Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane lived together.

After getting out of the car, Yuan Chuanyu said goodbye to the driver and quickly walked into the apartment building.

The moment he opened the door, a rich aroma of food wafted out, instantly dispelling his fatigue.

Akane Kurokawa, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen. Upon seeing her boyfriend, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face, her eyes filled with concern.

"Yu-kun, you're back? Go wash your hands and eat. I made your favorite dishes."

Her voice was gentle and soft, like the warm sun in winter, making people feel warm inside.

Yuan Chuanyou stepped forward and couldn't help but gently hug her waist from behind, burying his face in her hair.

“Xinwoqiuerer eryin liuba, erku ni le, chiyin.”

Akane Kurokawa nestled in his arms, gently patting his hand in a tender tone.

"It's not tiring. I'm happy just to have dinner with you when you get back. Are you tired on set today? Did you finish filming your scenes smoothly?"

She's always like this; she cares more about Genkawa Yu than about her own work.

"Thankfully, everything went smoothly."

Genkawa Yu let go of her hand, took her hand, and led her to the dining table to sit down.

The two ate while chatting about their daily lives.

Akane Kurokawa recounted the amusing stories of her magazine ad shoot that day, while Yuu Genkawa listened patiently, occasionally interjecting with a few words, his eyes full of tenderness.

Hmm... about Asakura Toru.

Let's not talk about Qi Lingni 3 privately for now.

On the other hand, after the Kamen Rider Fox crew finished their handicrafts.

Toru Asakura returned to her idol dormitory. As an apartment provided by the management company, the security here was very tight, which saved her from a lot of potential trouble.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.
