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

The two sat quietly in the lounge, and the atmosphere became somewhat subdued.

About half an hour later, the door to the recording studio was finally gently pushed open.

Genkawa Yu walked out of the recording studio with his guitar in his arms, looking tired but with a sense of accomplishment in his eyes.

He glanced at the system; he had already gained a lot of experience points for the entry.

[Production Sequence 1: Guitar Playing (Green)]

Experience points: 88/100

[Production Sequence Two: Singing Mastery (Green)]

Experience points: 95/100

[Guitar Performance (Green)] + [Singing Proficiency (Green)] = [Debuting Singer (Purple)]

At the current pace, with another day or two of training, we can definitely complete the word synthesis before going on the show.

As Yu Minakawa stepped out of the recording studio, the first thing he saw was Akane Kurokawa sitting on the sofa.

"Akane? What brings you here? Why didn't you call out to me?"

Upon hearing Yu's voice, Akane Kurokawa quickly looked up, instantly concealing her disappointment and grievance, replacing them with a gentle smile.

"Yu-kun, you've finally finished practicing. I just got here not long ago, and when I saw you practicing your singing so diligently, I didn't want to disturb you."

She took the water from Kato Megumi and handed it to her man.

"Yu-kun, you've been practicing for so long, you must be thirsty. Drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Okay, thank you, Akane."

Looking at her gentle smile, Yuan Chuanyou took the mineral water, took a sip, and the cool water flowed down his throat, instantly relieving the discomfort of a dry mouth.

"You must have been bored waiting in the lounge all by yourself for so long, right?"

"Not boring at all."

Akane Kurokawa quickly shook her head. "I've been listening to Yu-kun sing. Your singing is getting better and better."

That's not a lie. In fact, she was also very surprised. Her lover wasn't a professional singer, but as the training went on, his pronunciation became more and more impressive. When he sang and played the guitar, he already had the air of a professional singer.

Genkawa Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. I will continue to work hard and strive to give my best performance on Music Station on the 8th."

After all, it's for promoting the movie, so naturally we have to go all out.

"By the way, Akane, what kind of work do you have here?"

"No, my manager said I'd be doing a music show with you, so I've made sure to free up my time these past few days."

Akane Kurokawa looked at her boyfriend with a smile, "Yu-kun, actually I've also become quite interested in singing lately."

"Ok?"

Genkawa Yu was somewhat surprised, then asked, "Does Akane also want to sing?"

"Yeah, I thought about it last time. After all, I'm the female lead in the movie. If we record a mixed male and female version of 'Horizon', it could be a bonus."

"Hmm... that suggestion is not bad."

Genkawa Yu stroked his chin. Although "Horizon" wasn't written for "Love Like a Bouquet," since it was for promoting the movie, if they could make a male-female remix version, they could ride the wave of popularity and make the movie's CP fans even happier.

"Well... Yu-kun, could you teach me to play and sing for the next few days?"

Akane Kurokawa bared her fangs, wanting to take over all of Yu Minakawa's time.

"Uh... that's possible."

Genkawa Yu thought for a moment. He had just promised Higuchi Enka that he would meet her on the 7th, so he couldn't break his promise.

"I have something to take care of on the 7th, so I might not be able to stay with you the whole time."

"It's okay." Akane Kurokawa stared intently at him. "Isn't the music program on the 8th? Let's practice together all the time except for the 7th, shall we?"

"...Okay, that's settled then."

Genkawa Yu didn't have the right to refuse his girlfriend, so he smiled gently.

"Akane, why don't you go to the equipment room and pick out a guitar that suits you? I still need to pack up the recording equipment here."

"I'll go first, Yu-kun will be here soon."

"Ah."

Akane Kurokawa nodded vigorously, then walked towards the music equipment room next to the recording studio, while Yu Minakawa returned to the recording studio to tidy up the equipment and cables he had just used.

But at that moment, Kato Megumi quickly moved closer, almost touching Genkawa Yu's body.

“Mr. Genkawa, Ms. Kurokawa just saw the news about you and Mr. Asakura. She seemed a little concerned and asked for my opinion.”

"What did you say?"

Genkawa Yu glanced at Kato Megumi, who was standing nearby, and spoke in a gentle tone.

“I only said you two are good friends, and I didn’t do anything that crossed the line,” Kato Megumi added. “However, Kurokawa-san probably didn’t believe me.”

"...So that's why Akane suddenly wanted to practice singing."

Genkawa Yu smiled helplessly. Ever since he asked Kato Megumi to help arrange his date with Asakura Toru at a love hotel, he found that this celebrity assistant in front of him had suddenly started to interfere in his love life.

But... he didn't dislike this feeling.

Since Yuu Minakawa discovered that everything Megumi Kato did was for his own benefit, he decided to leave it at that for now.

"It's alright, I'll handle it. Thank you, Kato."

"This is all part of my job."

"Hehe, you don't need to work too hard." Genkawa Yu suddenly reached out and patted Kato Megumi's head. "You still need to remember to rest."

"...Um."

Kato Megumi stared at the man in front of her, then nodded heavily.

For the next few days, Yuu Minakawa stayed with Akane Kurokawa in the music department and recording studio of Star Engine.

The two learned to sing and practiced guitar together.

Yu Genkawa continued practicing his singing and playing, preparing for "Music Station" on the 8th.

He taught Akane Kurokawa step by step how to hold the guitar, how to press the strings, how to produce sound, and how to control his breath.

Originally, it was thought that Akane Kurokawa's idea was just a sudden whim, but Yu Minakawa found that his girlfriend was studying very seriously.

Learning guitar is a very troublesome process, but when Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa were together, there was no sign of impatience. On the contrary, the atmosphere between the two gradually became more and more harmonious.

For the next three days, they were almost inseparable, practicing singing together in the recording studio.

Akane Kurokawa always had a gentle smile on her face, which gave her a unique sense of security.

On the other hand, during these three days of practice, Genkawa Yu finally completed the final step of gaining experience.

[Production Sequence 1: Guitar Playing (Green)]

Experience points: 99/100

Experience points: 100/100

Production complete!

[Obtain the Guitar Playing (green) entry.]

[Production Sequence Two: Singing Mastery (Green)]

Experience points: 99/100

Experience points: 100/100

Production complete!

[Gained the Singing Mastery (Green) entry.]

"Production is finally complete, let's synthesize it now!"

Genkawa Yu placed the two entries into the [Entry Synthesis Platform] and proceeded directly to the next step!

[Guitar Performance (Green)] + [Singing Proficiency (Green)] = [Debuting Singer (Purple)]

Synthesis successful!

[Congratulations on obtaining the debut singer (purple)!]

The next moment, a vast amount of singing knowledge and skills entered Genkawa Yu's mind.

He suddenly felt a strange change in his body.

A warm current of air slowly rose from his dantian and flowed out slowly down his throat.

Genkawa Yu could clearly feel that his control over his breath was becoming more and more precise and natural.

"Your sense of justice may be obliterated by another kind of justice, and you will inevitably encounter such sad things."

After singing another line of lyrics, Yuu Minakawa found that he could easily control his breath, making it steady and long, and making the high notes clear and not harsh. Every transition was handled naturally and delicately, without the slightest stiffness or deliberateness.

"Is this the skill level of a professional singer like Su Yili?"

Genkawa Yu smiled slightly; he could clearly feel that his control over pronunciation was becoming more and more perfect.

He can precisely control every word and every syllable, and his emotional expression is just right, which elevates the appeal of the whole song to a whole new level.

"Hehe, in that case, there won't be any problem getting on the show."

Just as Yuan Chuanyou was feeling happy, he suddenly noticed that several new notifications had popped up on the system panel in front of him. He hadn't paid attention to them since the synthesis was completed.

Start it now!

[Congratulations, host! You have produced a total of 10 entries!]

[Access to the dictionary database is now fully open!]

[Entry Production Platform Lv2→Lv3!]

Production of purple-themed entries is now open!

"My God, it's already upgraded to level 3?"

Genkawa Yu scratched his head and suddenly realized that he had already produced quite a few entries, and at this time the entry library had reached its final stage.
