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

She remembered Genkawa Yu's initial instructions, which told her to be gentle and not to announce the truth too directly, since that would be a great blow to Kurokawa Akane.

But to be honest, Kato Megumi never intended to follow his instructions from the beginning.

She had her own plans. If she wanted to achieve her goal, apart from not being able to harm Genkawa Yu, Kato Megumi wouldn't care about the thoughts of other women.

The next moment, Kato Megumi put down her coffee cup, looked up at Kurokawa Akane, and spoke in a very calm tone.

"Kurokawa-san, I've come to you today because I have something very important to tell you, and this matter... is something that Genkawa-san himself has no idea I'd be telling you today."

Upon hearing this, Akane Kurokawa's brows furrowed sharply, and a clear look of surprise appeared on her face.

In her mind, Kato Megumi was Genkawa Yu's most loyal assistant. No matter how big or small the matter was, she always obeyed Genkawa Yu's orders and never made any decisions on her own.

So...was she keeping her actions today a secret from Yu-kun?

Kato Megumi clearly saw through her shock at a glance, and the smile on her lips deepened slightly.

"Kurokawa-san, there's no need to be so surprised. Actually, this isn't the first time I've done something behind Genkawa-san's back."

She paused, her gaze calmly meeting Kurokawa Akane's suddenly cold stare.

"Last time, I told you myself that I liked Genkawa-san. Of course, Genkawa-san was unaware of this, otherwise... our relationship..."

Upon hearing this, the surprise on Kurokawa Akane's face vanished instantly, replaced by an even colder expression than before.

She and Mai Sakurajima had discussed this more than once in private. Although they were jealous and competitive with each other around Yu Minakawa, they were surprisingly in agreement when it came to Megumi Kato.

They all knew that this seemingly gentle and obedient girl was the one they couldn't let their guard down against.

Kato Megumi is the number one dangerous person!

Your relationship will not change!

Seeing Kurokawa Akane's body suddenly tense up, Kato Megumi remained calm and continued to speak, her tone still composed.

"Kurokawa-san, do I think you're being a little too ungrateful?"

Kurokawa Akane sneered, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Oh? What have I done wrong?"

"A man like Genkawa-san is one in a million in this world."

Kato Megumi's gaze softened, and her tone carried undisguised praise.

"It's perfectly normal for a man like him to attract countless outstanding girls wherever he goes."

Akane Kurokawa's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and she interrupted her without any politeness.

"So, you're saying that you're one of the people who were attracted to Yu-kun, right?"

Kato Megumi nodded without any hesitation.

"Yes."

Her candid admission left Akane Kurokawa momentarily speechless.

"So, Kurokawa-san, the fact that you can become Genkawa-san's live-in girlfriend and occupy the most legitimate position by his side is something that others can only dream of."

Kato paused for a moment, then continued.

“I think even Sakurajima-san feels this way deep down. Although she is a national-level female celebrity, she has never received such a formal title from Genkawa-san.”

"You don't need to mention Mai Sakurajima!"

Akane Kurokawa suddenly raised her voice, interrupting her forcefully.

"You have no right to discuss these issues!"

Kato Megumi gently shook her head, her tone still calm, yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

"No, Kurokawa-san, this is closely related to my own desires."

She looked up at Akane Kurokawa and expressed her deepest desire.

"Because I have made up my mind that I will stay by Genkawa-san's side for the rest of my life and never leave. The identity of simply being an artist's assistant is far from enough and cannot satisfy me."

Akane Kurokawa's chest began to heave violently, clearly angered by Megumi Kato's blunt declaration.

She bit her lip lightly, squeezing out the sound through her teeth.

"So, this is what you wanted to tell me after calling me here today? You just wanted to tell me... about your delusions?"

"of course not."

Kato Megumi smiled lightly, her tone calm, yet she uttered words that struck Kurokawa Akane like a thunderbolt.

"What I'm telling you is that Genkawa-san has other women outside, and their relationship is very good right now."

"..."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Akane Kurokawa stared blankly at Megumi Kato, the color draining from her face at a visible speed, her once fair and delicate cheeks turning pale instantly.

She even doubted whether she was Yin Luyingyi Saner Jiu... or if she had misheard.

Does Yu-kun have other women outside?

The next moment, Kurokawa Akane suddenly came to her senses and almost blurted out the question.

Do you know what you're saying?

Kato Megumi watched her excited and out-of-control appearance, her eyes remaining completely unmoved.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about... Kurokawa-san, I can tell you very clearly that I told you this today without telling Genkawa-san at all. He had no idea that I would tell you this."

Akane Kurokawa's breath hitched. Besides shock, she felt a surge of anger. Kato Megumi's words made her feel as if she had betrayed Minagawa Yu, which made her even more upset.

Why did you hide it from him? Why did you do something against his wishes?

"Because Genkawa-san himself simply doesn't know how to tell you this."

Kato Megumi said slowly, "He is conflicted. He doesn't want to hurt you, but he doesn't know how to bring it up. Rather than letting Genkawa-san continue to be immersed in this conflict and pain, I'd rather tell you in advance so that you can be prepared."

Upon hearing these words, Akane Kurokawa laughed coldly as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"So... I should thank you. Thank you for sharing Yu-kun's burdens, and thank you for taking the initiative to tell me about this so that I wouldn't be kept in the dark?"

"Kurokawa-san, you don't need to thank me. I'm telling you this not out of kindness, but because you already have so much."

Kato Megumi looked at Kurokawa Akane, whose reaction was exactly as she had initially expected, so she continued to speak methodically.

“Yuanchuan-san’s hesitation and dilemma are purely because he cares about you and your feelings.”

“If he doesn’t have you in his heart, even if he has countless women outside, I will help him keep it a secret and I will never let you know anything about it.”

"Do you get me?"

"..."

For some reason, an uncontrollable anger surged up into Akane Kurokawa's head again, and she rebuked him with barely suppressed rage.

"You really are loyal to Yu-kun! You'd do something like this for him, and say something like this!"

"Of course."

Kato Megumi met her angry gaze calmly, her tone firm.

“I have spent much more time with Genkawa-san than with Kurokawa-san. Everything I have done is aimed at making things easier for Genkawa-san.”

"...That's why I chose to tell you this."

Akane Kurokawa stared intently at Megumi Kato, her chest heaving violently. Anger, panic, and resentment intertwined, leaving her in a state of utter turmoil.

She remained silent for a full half minute before she managed to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and then asked, word by word.

"...Who is it? Who is that woman?"

She needs to know the answer.

Kato Megumi looked at her and calmly uttered a name.

"Toru Asakura".

"..."

Unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

When Akane Kurokawa heard the name Asakura Toru, the excitement and anger on her face subsided slightly, replaced by a complex and indescribable sense of relief.

She wasn't surprised.

Asakura Toru knew about Genkawa Yu's feelings for a long time, and now the two of them are working together on "Kamen Rider Goku," spending a lot of time together, acting in scenes together.

Genkawa Yu was not a heartless person to begin with, so it was perfectly normal for him to fall for such a gentle and obedient girl.

Akane Kurokawa had long harbored a vague suspicion, but she had always refused to believe it. So, at this moment, she questioned him again in an icy tone.

"When did they get together? When did they start doing this behind my and Sakurajima's back?"

Kato Megumi gently shook her head, refusing in a flat tone.

"I can't tell you that."

"Kurokawa-san, I'm telling you this today just so you'll be aware of it beforehand, so you won't be too devastated when you suddenly find out the truth later."

"As for when Genkawa-san and Asakura-san started, that's not important."

She paused for a moment, then finally revealed her purpose.

"What I want you to do is to take the initiative to question Genkawa-san and bring this matter up. After he confesses everything to you, use the guilt he feels about this to make him treat you better. That... is enough."

Akane Kurokawa was stunned.

She looked at Kato Megumi with surprise in her eyes, completely baffled as to what the other was thinking.

She's not stupid; on the contrary, she's very smart.

Yuan Chuan You has her in his heart, acknowledges that she is his only official girlfriend, and places her in the most important position. This has always been her source of confidence.

As for Mai Sakurajima and Toru Asakura, they were at most her lovers, not her with a formal title.

If we really do as Kato Megumi says and actively force Genkawa Yu to confess, using his guilt to make him treat us better, it may seem like we are gaining an advantage, but in reality, isn't this also forcing Genkawa Yu?

Isn't this also a way of eroding his feelings for me?

Akane Kurokawa frowned and sneered.
