The song lacks flashy techniques but is full of sincere emotions, perfectly conveying the steadfastness and healing in the lyrics.

After singing it once, Genkawa Yu gently plucked the strings, letting the lingering sound slowly dissipate.

He closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the rhythm and emotions of the entire song. In any case, it was a great song.

"Minamoto-san."

Just then, the door to the recording studio was gently pushed open, and Megumi Kato walked in, holding a document in her hand.

"Zhongyuan asked me to send you the materials from the afternoon's advertising review."

Genkawa Yu opened his eyes and nodded.

"Okay, put it on the table. Thank you for your hard work, Kato."

He put his guitar aside, got up and walked to the recording equipment, ready to listen to the audition recording again.

Kato Megumi placed the document on the table, then looked at Genkawa Yu, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

“Mr. Genkawa, the news this morning was very popular, but it also means that your whereabouts will be more closely watched recently.”

"I'd like to ask about your upcoming rest day arrangements..."

"Ok?"

Genkawa Yu was somewhat puzzled, because Kato Megumi usually didn't concern herself with these kinds of things.

"That's how it is." Meeting Genkawa Yu's gaze, Kato Megumi slowly explained.

"The current situation is that if you are going out with Ms. Kurokawa, it's fine to be photographed. But if it's another arrangement, I need to scout out the location in advance, plan the route, and make sure there are no unexpected events."

"...Kato, your consideration is very thorough; I was being naive."

Upon hearing this, Genkawa Yu felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that Kato Megumi had been thinking of everything for him and had taken precautions to avoid all risks in advance.

"Then write this down. I'm going to Chiba with Asakura Toru on the 29th. We've booked a... cough, a love hotel."

"Then..."

Yu Minakawa continued, "On the 30th, I'll be meeting with Mai, but the specific meeting place hasn't been confirmed yet."

"A love hotel?"

Upon hearing this word, a complex emotion flashed in Kato Megumi's eyes.

But she quickly concealed her unease and regained her usual capable tone.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go to Chiba in advance to scout out the location, check out the environment of the love hotel, and then plan the best route to avoid areas where reporters might be staking out."

Seeing Kato Megumi's serious expression, Genkawa Yu felt that this was asking too much of her, so he said...

"Won't these things be too tiring? It takes one or two hours to go back and forth to Chiba. Are you sure you'll be okay going alone?"

"It's alright, Genkawa-san. This is my job. I'm glad I can help you. I have a driver's license and a car, but I don't use them much. This time, they just come in handy."

Although Kato Megumi has always positioned herself as an artist's assistant, she has actually begun to gradually interfere in Genkawa Yu's private life.

This was a subtle, gradual process, but Yuu Minakawa was unaware of it.

After all, Kato Megumi used to only talk about work, but recently she has become increasingly obvious about it.

At the bottom of the girl's calm heart, after she noticed Asakura Toru's situation, some bubbles began to rise frequently.

"Alright then, thank you for your hard work, Kato. Without you, I feel like there are so many things I wouldn't be able to do."

Genkawa Yu nodded, his voice full of gratitude.

Megumi Kato simply nodded, then picked up her bag and prepared to leave the recording studio.

Before that, the girl did say something.

"It's alright. After all, Genkawa-san and I are the only ones on the same path now, so please keep that in mind."

"Oh...oh, it's 78?V Dance Flutter Reading-Yi, okay."

Kato Megumi stepped out of the Star Engine and went to the parking lot, where she unlocked a white Lexus sedan.

This car was bought for her by Kato Arashi. It has good performance, but she usually travels with Genkawa Yu's nanny car and rarely has the opportunity to drive it herself.

She got into the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, started the car, and drove towards Chiba.

On the passenger seat of the vehicle was an adorable cartoon plush toy, made with love by the "Yuu fans," shaped like a picture of Yuu Minakawa in a suit.

The girl placed her small hand on the doll's head, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Little by little, two hearts that are drawn together will eventually meet.

Meanwhile, in the recording studio, Yu Genkawa was repeatedly refining the melody of "Horizon".

After a while, my phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed Asakura Toru.

He picked up his phone, pressed the answer button, and the girl's voice immediately came through the receiver.

"Yu~"

A gentle smile instantly appeared on Yuan Chuanyu's face, and his tone softened.

"What's wrong, Asakura?"

Since officially getting together with Asakura Toru, this girl, who originally had little emotional fluctuation and seemed somewhat naive, has become exceptionally attached.

She would message him from time to time and share her daily life.

"Is Yu busy today?"

"I'm going to Chiba in two days. I've already packed my luggage and prepared a lot of food."

Asakura Toru's tone was somewhat like that of a student on a school trip, full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."

Toru Asakura was really looking forward to this trip, so he did a lot of research, which left Enka Higuchi somewhat exasperated.

"I've already checked the weather in Chiba. The 29th will be sunny, and I have a lot of things I want to do then."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say then."

Yuan Chuanyou listened patiently as she planned her itinerary, his tone full of doting affection.

"By the way, Asakura, my new song 'Horizon' is almost finished. Would you like me to sing it for you?"

"want!"

Asakura Toru's voice immediately rose a few decibels, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"I want to hear Yu sing."

"Wait a moment, I'll put my phone next to me and sing it for you."

Genkawa Yu placed his phone next to the recording equipment, adjusted the angle, and made sure the girl could hear the singing clearly.

He picked up his guitar, sat back down in his chair, took a deep breath, and gently plucked the strings. The tender melody once again echoed in the recording studio.

"Because you can't see your own back."

"So there's no need to be shy, just ask others."

"Because no one can see through one's own heart, we should cherish things more than tangible things as the days go by."

"Some people may never have the chance to meet again."

On the other end of the phone, Asakura Toru was leaning against the corner of the practice room, listening to Genkawa Yu's soft singing.

Higuchi Enka Kouji was leaning against her, the two of them shoulder to shoulder.

There were only the two of them in the practice room. Listening to the song on the phone, they felt the warm theme of the song together.

A faint, enigmatic light flickered in Higuchi Enka's eyes.

"Genkawa-kun, you're really amazing."

she thinks.

No wonder Tou has always been attracted to him.

Then

How exactly do I view him?

Volume 3: I Am a Knight of the New Era - Chapter 43: An Unexpected Encounter, Higuchi Enka and Kato Megumi (2-in-1 5k)

December 29st, early morning.

Sunlight streamed into Yuanchuan You's apartment, and the bedroom still held the lingering warmth of last night.

Knowing that Genkawa Yu's holiday today belonged to "that woman," Kurokawa Akane got up early and carefully selected her travel clothes from the wardrobe.

She ultimately chose a chic off-white long dress, styled her signature long blue hair into a low ponytail, and maintained her impeccable makeup.

To avoid being affected by jealousy, Akane Kurokawa decided to focus all her attention on work today, so she is ready to head to the Star Engine.

Yuan Chuanyou leaned against the bedroom door, quietly watching her busy figure, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

After a while, he took the initiative to step forward and gently hug the girl from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Akane, I'll definitely spend more time with you during the rest of the holiday."

He could clearly feel the slight stiffness in the person's body in his arms, which then slowly relaxed.

Akane Kurokawa raised her hand and placed it on his hand that was wrapped around his waist, her fingertips gently stroking his fingertips, her voice calm.
