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

“I’m confident I can persuade her to accept your relationship with Asakura-san.” Kato Megumi sounded confident, but Genkawa Yu was increasingly puzzled.

"You're going to explain this to Akane? What are you even talking about..."

“Actually, we’ve already talked about this before, and I believe she will understand.”

"..."

When Genkawa Yu heard Kato Megumi's words, he felt that he was starting to not understand his little assistant. What did she mean by saying that they had already talked about it before?

What are we going to talk about? Are we going to talk about building a harem?

"Don't you believe me, Genkawa-san?"

"That's not it..."

Just then, Genkawa Yu noticed something unusual in the system panel again; it seemed that he had gained experience from another entry.

Now that the production sequence has advanced, gaining experience for purple-level attributes is very difficult, so Yuu Genkawa is very sensitive to this.

[Production Sequence Two: The Path of a Literary Master (Purple)]

Experience points: 9/100

Experience points: 10/100

Experience points: 11/100

"?"

Another path to becoming a literary giant.

Genkawa Yu stroked his chin, feeling that the direction of experience gain for this entry was quite subtle.

What do you call this, a woman helping herself... to persuade another woman, and the content of the persuasion is to get her to agree to her having a harem?

A literary giant?

What a gigolo!

Volume 3: I Am a Knight of the New Era - Chapter 74: Utaha Kasumigaoka's Questioning Game 2.0 (2-in-1 5k)

Kato Megumi's suggestion really surprised Genkawa Yu.

After all, considering his current relationships with the girls, Akane Kurokawa is the hardest to persuade, while Mai Sakurajima and Toru Asakura are easier to talk to, since they came later.

"Kato...do you have a way to persuade Akane?"

The next moment, the receiver picked up Kato Megumi's gentle laughter, which was like a spring breeze, carrying a soothing power.

"Yes, I have a girl's way of doing things, and I'm sure I can convince Kurokawa-san."

"...Your statement makes me feel very insecure."

Genkawa Yu sighed, "Although I am the greedy one, I do not wish to expose these things in the most cruel way."

"Don't worry, Genkawa-san. I won't say it directly. After all, Kurokawa-san is a very smart person, isn't he?"

"...Alright then."

"Don't worry, Genkawa-san, I will handle this matter well."

Kato Megumi's voice was very gentle, as if she were a wish-granting machine that could help Genkawa Yu solve all his troubles.

"Okay, then go ahead and give it a try, but remember not to be too abrupt."

"I see."

Genkawa Yu decided to temporarily entrust this matter to Kato Megumi, while also making a simple contingency plan, which he would then discuss with Kurokawa Akane later.

When do you plan to tell them?

"After the broadcast of 'Your Name' ends, I will find an opportunity to talk to Kurokawa-san alone. I will try my best to persuade her so that things won't get worse and you won't be put in too much of a difficult position."

"I'll trouble you then, Kato."

“It’s what I should do, Genkawa-san.”

Kato Megumi smiled gently, her tone still tender.

"It's my honor to share your burdens. Please get some rest, and we'll see you on Saturday."

"See you on Saturday, Kato."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Chuanyou let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't dwell too much on this complicated emotion. After calming himself down, he picked up his phone and began contacting the other people on the invitation list.

The process is not complicated; it simply involves explaining the time and location of the internal screening of "Your Name".

The people on the other end of the phone answered readily, such as Mai Sakurajima, Toru Asakura, MEM Chu, Kengo Morimoto, and Nobuyuki Kumamoto, etc. Their straightforward attitude reassured Yu Genkawa a little.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the busyness and anxiety.

Before we knew it, it was the day before Saturday.

As the sun sets, golden rays stream through the windows into the apartment's living room.

Today, Yuu Minakawa took the initiative to visit his neighbor, Utaha Kasumigaoka. The girl opposite him was holding the manuscript of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store".

She has long, straight, jet-black hair that cascades naturally over her shoulders and back like a waterfall. Strands of hair fall across her forehead, partially obscuring her smooth brows, which makes her features appear even more delicate and charming.

Although she is just a writer, her outstanding appearance is comparable to that of entertainers. Having seen many beautiful girls in his daily life, Yuu Minakawa can easily tell that if she wanted to try her luck in the entertainment industry, it would be a piece of cake.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs are slender and long, fair and well-proportioned. She often wears black stockings on her feet. The black stockings cling tightly to her skin, outlining the beautiful lines of her legs and showcasing her charm and sexiness to the fullest. She has both the coquettishness of a young girl and the style of a mature woman.

"Genkawa-kun, what are you looking at?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her gaze away from the manuscript, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I am appreciating beautiful things."

"Really."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't mind at all; in fact, she was quite happy, since a vague feeling of affection had been lingering in her heart, and the object of that affection was the man opposite her.

"What do you think of this story?"

"very nice."

Speaking of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store," Kasumigaoka Utaha believes that Genkawa Yu is truly a person of boundless talent, and the story is very touching.

"I believe that the core of this work is not just 'relieving worries,' but also 'redemption.'"

"Moreover, this book is very well controlled in terms of its degree of emotional expression. There is no deliberate attempt to evoke emotions or force a happy ending. It simply uses plain words to convey the warmest power."

"Genkawa-kun, if we wait for your book to be published, it will definitely be a bestseller, right?"

"I hope so too."

After discussing some plot details, Genkawa Yu started talking about Saturday's broadcast, since Kasumigaoka Utaha was his neighbor, and inviting her in person was better than making a phone call.

That's right.

Genkawa Yu's tone was very gentle as he looked at the girl opposite him and slowly explained.

"The main feature of the animated film 'Your Name' has been completed. We will be holding an internal preview screening this Saturday. I would like to invite you, Kasumigaoka, to come and watch it together."

"After all, I wrote the script. So, how about it, are you interested?"

"really?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was really looking forward to the story written by Genkawa Yu, but after hearing the invitation, she subconsciously asked a question.

How many people did Genkawa-kun invite in total?

"Not many, just some close friends."

Genkawa Yu smiled and then slowly said, "The invitation list includes both men and women, all of whom I trust."

"Could you tell me if it's convenient? After all, I'm not very familiar with your friends, Genkawa-kun."

"Aren't you very close with Akane?"

"Will you still invite Sakurajima-san?"

Because of their previous collaboration, Kasumigaoka Utaha got to know Sakurajima Mai, and through Genkawa Yu's connection, she also became an insider, knowing that Genkawa Yu was dating both Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai at the same time.

"Of course we'll invite Mai, since she's also really looking forward to this project."

Yuu Minakawa's answer was very honest, but Kasumigaoka Utaha sensed something strange and immediately pressed for an answer.

"Genkawa-kun, how many girls did you invite this time?"

"Uh... there are six in total."

"Six people..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly transformed into a detective. She analyzed Genkawa Yu's current situation and then slowly said, "Besides Sakurajima-san and Kurokawa-san, the other girls..."

"how?"

Genkawa Yu was also a master at reading people. He knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha was very perceptive, so he didn't bother to hide some things from her, since she wasn't a big mouth anyway.

Are you and Mai very familiar with each other?

"We only became acquainted through a work opportunity, and I haven't told Genkawa-kun about it yet."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Genkawa Yu across from her and slowly explained how she met Sakurajima Mai.

"Because I'm currently preparing a new book, I'd like to collaborate with Sakurajima-san's [Sakura no Umi] agency to advance the copyright. Since the protagonist is a girl, I believe Sakurajima-san will understand my considerations."

Genkawa Yu nodded, a knowing smile on his face, and said gently.

"I see. So, how is the cooperation progressing? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"It went fairly smoothly."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled lightly and said casually.

“Sakurajima-san is very interested in my new book. We have reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, and the details are still being negotiated.”

"By the way, Genkawa-kun, I remember you filmed a movie with Sakurajima-san called 'Strobe Edge,' right? Is that movie going to be released next year?"

When the movie "Sparkling Love" was mentioned, a barely perceptible hint of nostalgia flashed in Yu Genkawa's eyes.

This film is key to the development of his relationship with Mai Sakurajima, and it's also the film where they officially became a couple.
