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

"Mr. Genkawa, are you ready?"

Kato Megumi was actually in Chiba at this time. She didn't go back to Tokyo at all, but instead checked into a hotel.

What's most amazing is that Higuchi Enka, who traveled with her yesterday, also stayed. The two people who had just become acquainted became travel companions, which is quite a wonderful coincidence.

"What should we prepare?"

Genkawa Yu didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Didn't you say last time that you were going to accompany Ms. Sakurajima today? I was thinking if you wanted me to help take Ms. Asakura back to Tokyo, so that you could travel in peace without getting distracted."

"I see... Is leek/6 a tumor-like growth?"

After hearing Kato Megumi's thoughts, Genkawa Yu felt a warmth in his heart.

Kato Megumi is really thoughtful; she has planned many things in advance for him. If she were to take Asakura Toru home, he wouldn't have to take a detour back to Tokyo and could go directly to pick up Sakurajima Mai.

So he turned to look at Asakura Toru beside him, his eyes questioning.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Kato. I'll discuss it with Toru, and we'll meet at the Sahara service area."

"Well, I see."

Kato replied, "I'll wait for you in the quiet rest area on the second floor of the Sawara service area, where very few people pass by."

After hanging up the phone, Genkawa Yu looked at Asakura Toru and said gently.

"Toru, how about I have Kato take you back to Tokyo later? I have other things to do... I can't go back with you."

"Is that Sakurajima-san?"

Asakura Toru wasn't particularly disappointed. She knew she couldn't have Minakawa Yu all to herself, but she was still a little reluctant.

"it is good."

The girl didn't complain, which made Yuan Chuan You feel even more sorry for her.

He gently stroked her long hair, his tone full of guilt and doting affection.

"If there are more holidays next month, we can go out and play together again."

Asakura Toru was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, I'll get along well with Yu on set later."

"Uh... okay."

Although he didn't quite know what she meant by getting along on set, Yu knew that he and Toru Asakura would have more time together on the set of "Kamen Rider: Kyo Kusanagi" next month, so he didn't have to worry about feeling lonely because he wouldn't see each other often.

Yuan Chuanyou smiled and nodded, reaching out to help her straighten her clothes. He then took out a mask and hat and carefully helped her put them on, covering most of the girl's delicate face, leaving only a pair of clear blue eyes visible.

"Let's go, let's meet up with Kato."

The two walked out of the love hotel hand in hand. Genkawa Yu opened the car door, let Asakura Toru sit in the passenger seat, then went around to the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards the service area.

Service areas in Japan are very well-equipped, with spacious parking lots and large complexes filled with convenience stores, food stalls, rest areas, restrooms, and other facilities. With a lot of vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, they have become perfect places for celebrities to travel discreetly.

After all, with so many people around, it's harder to stand out from the crowd.

After arriving at the service area, Genkawa Yu parked the car in a corner of the parking lot and then led Asakura Toru into the complex building.

Both of them wore masks and hats, kept their heads down, and tried to avoid crowds as they walked up the stairs to the second floor and headed toward the agreed-upon quiet rest area.

The rest area is located in a corner on the second floor, separated by a row of green plants. Inside, there are only a few sofas and tables. At this time, no one comes over, so it is very quiet.

From afar, Genkawa Yu spotted Kato Megumi's figure.

She was dressed in a simple shirt and black trousers, still looking capable. Beside her stood a girl wearing a black mask and a baseball cap. The girl was slender, and her eyes held a familiar coolness, which made Yuan Chuan You a little puzzled.

"Hey, who's that?"

Genkawa Yu approached with suspicion, but Asakura Toru, who was beside her, immediately recognized her identity.

"Higuchi!"

The girl looked up at them.

Yu Minakawa then recognized that the person in front of him was actually Enka Higuchi.

"Higuchi? What are you doing here?"

He never expected that Higuchi Enka would be with Kato Megumi, and that they would appear together at this service area.

Higuchi Enka glanced at Asakura Toru, then calmly explained.

“Mr. Genkawa, I was relaxing in Chiba yesterday, and when I came to this service area, I ran into Mr. Kato.”

She concealed the fact that she had come with Asakura Toru and Genkawa Yuu, her tone slightly awkward, but not obviously so.

Yuan Chuan You didn't think much of it. He nodded, then glanced at the time on his phone. It was already 9:30. If they delayed any longer, it would be bad.

So he smiled at Kato Megumi, then looked at Asakura Toru and said.

"Toru, then you should go back to Tokyo with Higuchi and Kato. Remember to call me if anything happens. See you again on the set of Kamen Rider: Kyo Kusanagi."

Asakura Toru nodded gently, stepped forward, hugged Genkawa Yu tightly around the waist, pressed his face against his chest, and felt his last warmth.

She raised her head and gently nuzzled his neck, her movements like a spoiled kitten, filled with deep affection and reluctance.

"Goodbye, Yu."

"Ah."

Genkawa Yu reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back.

"go quickly."

A moment later, Asakura Toru finally let go of her hand, and walked to Higuchi Enka's side, looking back every few steps, his eyes full of reluctance.

This scene was witnessed by Megumi Kato and Enka Higuchi.

Kato Megumi didn't react in any particular way, but she noticed that the affection in Asakura Toru's eyes was becoming more and more obvious, indicating that their relationship had taken a big step forward.

Higuchi Enka's breath hitched slightly, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

She could sense the changes in Asakura Toru and see the rapid progress in their relationship. The throbbing and bittersweet feeling hidden deep in her heart spread like a tide, making Higuchi Enka's mood very complicated.

After the hug, Genkawa Yu nodded to Kato Megumi.

"Kato, I'm counting on you for Toru."

Kato Megumi bowed slightly and replied.

"Don't worry, Mr. Genkawa, I will safely get Ms. Asakura and Ms. Higuchi back to Tokyo."

Genkawa Yu glanced at Asakura Toru one last time, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Then he turned around and quickly left the rest area, heading downstairs, his figure soon disappearing from the three women's sight.

Watching his hurried departure, Asakura Toru's eyes were filled with disappointment. He silently lowered his head and fell silent.

Kato Megumi didn't say much, then looked at Asakura Toru and spoke gently.

"Let's go too, let's get back to Tokyo sooner so you can all get some rest."

Asakura Toru didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, and followed Kato Megumi and Higuchi Enka out of the rest area and headed towards the parking lot.

Upon arriving at the vehicle, Asakura Toru and Higuchi Enka sat together in the back seat, while Kato Megumi sat in the driver's seat.

The carriage was unusually quiet; no one spoke.

Higuchi Enka sat beside her, turning her head to look at Asakura Toru's profile.

Since they were already in the car, Higuchi Enka and Asakura Toru both took off their masks. Higuchi Enka hadn't noticed before, but at this moment she realized that Asakura Toru's pretty face had a particularly charming look.

The girl's delicate face became even more beautiful, and she lost her youthful naiveté, gaining a unique mature charm.

Seeing her like this, Higuchi Madoka became even more certain of her guess. She hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Toru, you and Genkawa-kun...are you already...?"

Asakura Toru turned to look at Higuchi Enka, who didn't hide anything and simply nodded.

"Yesterday... I had a very fulfilling day with Yu."

The two of them never went out and stayed in the hotel the whole time, but Asakura Toru was very satisfied.

She didn't describe it in much detail, but with just this one sentence, she revealed all the tenderness and happiness of last night.

Higuchi Enka's body stiffened slightly, and she froze on the spot.

Although I had already guessed the answer, when Asakura confirmed it, I still felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

After a moment of silence, Higuchi Enka remembered something else, her cheeks flushed instantly, and her voice became even softer.

"Tou, did you bring that thing I gave you before you left yesterday? Did you use it?"

What she was referring to was something Asakura Toru prepared before he set off.

To protect her childhood friend, Higuchi Enka mustered up a great deal of courage and secretly went to a convenience store to buy condoms.

Her cheeks were flushed, her heart was pounding, and she practically ran out of the convenience store. She then secretly slipped the item to Asakura Toru without saying a word.

She was worried that Asakura Toru might neglect his protection due to a moment of impulse, so she couldn't help but ask.

When Asakura Toru heard Higuchi Enka ask this question, he didn't feel shy at all and answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I brought it, but it was useless."

"It didn't work?"

Higuchi Enka's eyes were full of surprise, and she subconsciously raised her voice, her tone carrying a hint of anger and worry.

"Is it that Genkawa-kun doesn't want to use it? How could he do this! This is just too much..."

She subconsciously thought it was Minamoto Yu's fault, worried that Asakura Toru would be hurt, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction with Minamoto Yu.

Asakura Toru glanced at her, his tone suddenly becoming somewhat inexplicable.

“It’s not that You doesn’t want to use it, it’s that I don’t want to use it. I want to give You the most perfect experience and don’t want to be disturbed by anything.”

For her, yesterday was the day she and Yuu Minakawa exchanged their true feelings. She wanted to get close to him without reservation and give each other the purest love, so she chose not to use any protective gear.
