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

On the other end of the phone, Mai Sakurajima's voice was noticeably higher.

"What, you're going to Osaka too?"

Genkawa Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, I'm not going to Osaka, I'm in Osaka right now."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "This variety show is being filmed in Osaka, and it'll be in about three more days. When are you coming?"

"It will be around the 10th, and then we'll stay for three days."

Genkawa Yu glanced at the schedule that Kato Megumi had planned for him: departing for Osaka on the 10th, returning to Tokyo on the 13th, and attending the Tokyo Film Academy Awards ceremony on the 14th.

"That's great, we have two days to spend together."

"Uh, both Akane and I are going to the advertisement shoot this time."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, but then Mai Sakurajima suddenly spoke again.

"Is this an advertisement for couples?"

"...Um."

Yuu Minakawa knew that Mai Sakurajima never brought up Akane Kurokawa when they were together, but since he was going to Osaka to shoot an advertisement, he was going to be with her, which made things a little awkward.

"It's okay."

"how?"

Mai Sakurajima chuckled on the other end of the phone, then said playfully, "Can I visit the set as a friend?"

"It's possible...but..."

"Yu-kun~ Are you worried that she and I will fight?"

"Hehe, that won't happen."

Yuu Minakawa knew that Mai Sakurajima was joking. Both girls were polite and good-natured, and at most they would only say a few sarcastic things.

"So, it shouldn't be a problem if I go, right?"

Mai Sakurajima persisted, "And I was planning to talk to her too." | Seven Shaanxi: Mio? Si Jiu 7 Umbrella Death

What should we talk about?

"Aren't you staying for three days? I want her to give me one day of your time."

"...Do you think Akane will agree?"

"I have my own way."

Mai Sakurajima seemed confident and prepared.

"I'm not a concubine, of course I'm not afraid of her."

"..."

Genkawa Yu remained silent for a moment, but Sakurajima Mai on the other end of the phone did not give him a chance to speak. Her tone was both domineering and coquettish.

"Yu-kun, it's settled then!"

"Call me as soon as you arrive in Osaka."

"See you there."

Before Yuan Chuanyou could speak, the phone went dead with a busy signal.

Mai Sakurajima has already hung up the phone.

"No... what kind of thinking is this?"

Genkawa Yu put down his phone and couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"What method does she have... to get Akane to agree...?"

"I am indeed quite curious."

Volume 3: I Am a Knight of the New Era, Chapter 58: Kato Megumi's Attack, The Three's Cohabitation Begins (Two-in-One 5k)

October 10th, Osaka.

As I stepped out of the airport exit, a warm breeze greeted me, carrying the unique scent of Osaka.

Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa walked behind, while Megumi Kato walked in front. As the artist's assistant, she spotted the other company's pickup team at a glance.

Next to the airport exit, several staff members dressed in matching dark suits were standing, led by a capable-looking woman.

"Mr. Genkawa, Mr. Kurokawa, the other company's people have arrived. The one in the lead is Mr. Kiyono, who is in charge of the liaison."

Kato Megumi had a video call with the other party beforehand, so she recognized the person at a glance.

On the other side, Kiyono Mai, who was in charge of the liaison, quickly noticed them and took the initiative to step forward and bow slightly.

"Hello, are you Yuu-san Genkawa, Akane Kurokawa, and Megumi Kato? I am Mai Kiyono, the head of the marketing department at the Umeda Yoshitani Hotel Group. It is my honor to be in charge of coordinating this advertising shoot. Welcome to Osaka."

Kato Megumi nodded slightly, a professional smile on her face, her tone respectful and proper.

"Hello, thank you for coming to pick us up in person. I am Kato Megumi, and I am Genkawa-san's artist assistant."

Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane also spoke up, their tone gentle.

"Hello, Kiyono-san."

"You three are too kind. Our group attaches great importance to this collaboration. It is our honor to have such outstanding artists as Genkawa-san and Kurokawa-san to shoot our advertisement."

"The car is ready and right next to me. Please come with me, all three of you."

As she spoke, she turned to the side and made a "please" gesture, her tone very considerate.

"Thank you all for your help."

In the parking lot, a black seven-seater Toyota Century sat quietly, its spacious and imposing body, smooth lines, and understated luxury.

"Gentlemen, this way please. This is a car we have specially arranged for you, hoping to make your journey comfortable."

Kiyono Mai said with a smile, and took the initiative to step forward and open the back door for Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane.

The Toyota Century has a spacious interior with top-quality leather seats that are exceptionally comfortable. The interior space is large, and even the seven-seater model does not feel cramped at all.

"You three must be tired from your journey. This trip will take about forty minutes. You can rest for a bit first, and I will take you to check in when we arrive at the hotel."

Kiyono Mai turned around with a gentle smile on her face.

"During this time, I'd like to briefly introduce the upcoming work arrangements to the three of you, so that you have a general idea of ​​what's going on."

"Okay, Kiyono-san, thank you for your help."

"The advertising shoot will take three days in total, specifically the 10th, 11th, and 12th."

"This afternoon, we mainly arranged for the three of them to familiarize themselves with the filming location, which is the couple's suite in our hotel and related scenes in the resort. Then we had a simple rehearsal to familiarize themselves with the filming process and lines. Filming will officially begin tomorrow."

"The filming content mainly revolves around our hotel's deluxe couple suites and resort center, with the core theme of showcasing the warmth and sweetness between couples, which aligns with our hotel's positioning of being 'romantic, cozy, and upscale.'"

"Mr. Genkawa and Mr. Kurokawa, you two just need to be yourself. There's no need to put on a show. After all, the reason we invited you two is because we value the chemistry between you two."

Although that's what they said, they got the job because of the CP (couple pairing) hype. Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane exchanged a glance and both knew what to do.

Then, Kiyono Mai paused for a moment before continuing.

“The shooting time each day is from about 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m. There will be a two-hour break at noon. We will arrange lunch and afternoon tea for you two to ensure that you can be in the best condition to devote yourself to the shooting work.”

"During the shoot, we will arrange professional stylists, makeup artists, photographers, and staff to accompany you throughout the process. If you have any needs, please let me know at any time, and I will do my best to solve them for you."

"In addition, regarding the post-production of the advertisement, we will complete the initial editing within a week after filming ends."

"Finally, the advertising campaign is tentatively scheduled for the end of December. It will be simultaneously broadcast on major TV stations, online platforms, and all branches of our hotel. I believe that with your popularity, we will definitely achieve a great promotional effect."

Kiyono Mai's introduction was very detailed, and it was clear that she had made thorough preparations and attached great importance to this collaboration.

As an assistant to the artist, Kato Megumi quickly jotted down the key points, occasionally asking one or two questions, and then finalized all the procedures.

Yuu Minakawa trusted Megumi Kato's abilities, so he didn't ask any questions and just listened quietly. Akane Kurokawa did the same.

Forty minutes later, the car slowly drove into the five-star hotel under the Yoshitani Umeda Group – Yoshitani Umeda Osaka Main Store.

The car passed through the spacious gate and drove into the hotel's parking lot.

The parking lot was filled with all sorts of high-end cars, which shows that this hotel is positioned as a very high-end establishment and caters to middle- and high-end consumers.

After the three got out of the car, they looked up at the hotel in front of them. The environment here was indeed very nice.

The hotel lobby is spacious and bright, with sparkling crystal chandeliers and smooth marble floors that reflect the surrounding scenery. Everywhere you look, there is exquisite luxury, making you feel as if you have stepped into a palace.

Kiyono Mai looked at the three people's expressions and a proud smile appeared on her face.

"During the filming, I will arrange for three people to stay at this hotel, after all, they are also very important guests."

"Thank you, Kiyono-san. Your consideration is very thoughtful."

Kiyono Mai smiled and waved her hand, then made a "please" gesture.

"The three of you, let's go check in first."

"Considering that you are both artists and need a quiet environment to rest, we have booked a top-class suite for both Mr. Genkawa and Ms. Akane Kurokawa. The rooms are very large and offer excellent privacy, ensuring that your rest will not be disturbed."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Kato Megumi.

"As for Kato-san, since you are Genkawa-san's assistant, we will arrange a standard suite for you downstairs, so that we can contact you promptly if anything happens."

Kiyono Mai's arrangements were indeed very thoughtful. Since Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane had not officially announced their relationship, it was impossible for them to book only one room.

But at that moment, Kato Megumi suddenly spoke up.

"Thank you for your kindness, Kiyono-san, but there's no need to trouble you. I'd like to ask, the highest-level suite should have several bedrooms, right?"

"If there is one, I won't need to book another room. I can just stay with Genkawa-san. That way, it will be easier to take care of Genkawa-kun's daily life and I can also handle some work."

Her words startled Kiyono Mai slightly, but as a professional woman, she quickly replied.

"Yes, Kato-san, in addition to the master bedroom, our top-class suite has two other bedrooms, as well as two reception rooms, all with their own doors."

"That's good."

Kato Megumi nodded, a slight smile appearing on her face.
