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

She wasn't angry at Kato Megumi's bluntness and indifference, nor was she disgusted by her "scheming." On the contrary, she found Kato Megumi to be very genuine.

Kato Megumi's idea has always been very simple: she never intended to monopolize Genkawa Yu; she just wanted to have a unique place by his side.

This is very similar to Sakurajima Mai's thinking.

Everyone here is a girl with her own ideas, and in a way, Mai Sakurajima actually agrees with Megumi Kato's ideas.

After all, no matter how "harmonious" things are, it will be difficult for Mai Sakurajima and Akane Kurokawa to have a true friendship.

Do you really think that women in the harem can become friends?

Even if things seem harmonious on the surface, there will always be underlying problems.

Mai Sakurajima doesn't dislike Akane Kurokawa or Megumi Kato, but because of their respective positions and their relationship with Yu Minakawa, they can't find a suitable way to get along.

"I understand." (Seven (u three) Leng Sijiu V?I deleted the food)

"Kato-san, I don't mind you doing this."

"To be honest, I don't want my relationship with Kurokawa to be too good either. After all, we are both Yu-kun's lovers, so it's perfectly normal for us to have competition and barriers between us."

She paused, then continued.

"I will help you, Kato-san."

"As long as you continue to tell me about everything that happens to Yu-kun as soon as possible, as long as you continue to help me get more time to be with Yu-kun."

"I will make Yu-kun need you more and depend on you more."

"No, I think you've got it wrong, Sakurajima-san."

Kato Megumi suddenly laughed again.

"I'm not here to make a deal with you. Everything I've done is for Genkawa-san's good."

"So... I won't use him as a bargaining chip."

"However, I can agree to your request."

"hehe."

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of coffee, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

"That's good."

"Let's get along well, Kato-san~"

Volume 4 To the New World: Chapter 22 Akane Kurokawa: Yu-kun, I'll never be jealous again! (2-in-1 5k)

In the afternoon in Shanghai, the winter sun shines gently and for a long time.

Genkawa Yu held Kurokawa Akane's hand as they strolled through the alleys near Yu Garden, experiencing a landscape completely different from Tokyo.

The three-day trip wasn't long; Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane visited three cities together: Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou.

Akane Kurokawa grew up in Tokyo and was used to the city's towering buildings. The small bridges and flowing water of the Jiangnan region were completely new to her.

Having arrived in Xia Kingdom, the girl took off her mask, revealing her long, smooth blue hair draped casually over her shoulders, her eyes brimming with joy.

Genkawa Yu gently accompanied her, and together they enjoyed the trip, free from the worries of work, as if they had returned to the carefree state of childhood.

Of course, because the two are so good-looking, they attract a lot of attention when walking side by side in a crowd.

Some passersby speculated that they might be celebrities filming a program or well-known bloggers, while some bold tourists took the initiative to go up and say hello.

"Hello, may I take a photo?"

Akane Kurokawa couldn't understand Chinese, so she could only subconsciously look at Yu Minakawa. Yu Minakawa immediately understood and turned around to speak softly in fluent Chinese.

"Sorry, it's not convenient to take a photo together."

His tone was polite and gentle, yet it clearly conveyed his refusal.

Although the tourists were disappointed, they wisely refrained from disturbing them further and simply watched the two figures from a distance.

Genkawa Yu held Kurokawa Akane's hand and continued walking forward, ignoring the comments from passersby.

"Yu-kun, are they talking about us?"

Akane Kurokawa could still sense some curious gazes, so she asked softly.

"Haha, they think we're celebrities, so they're very curious."

A hint of confusion still lingered in his eyes, but his tone was full of curiosity.

"Really."

Akane Kurokawa smiled, her eyes crinkling with delight. This kind of praise worked on her, and the girl was very happy.

After visiting the sights in Shanghai, the two took a car to Hangzhou in the afternoon.

Their hotel was located near West Lake, a prime location. After dropping off their luggage, Genkawa Yu took Kurokawa Akane's hand and headed to the snack street by West Lake to sample Hangzhou's "delicacies".

When it was time to rest in the evening, Akane Kurokawa was a little tired from a day of running around. After washing up, she lay down on the bed to rest.

Meanwhile, Yu Minakawa sat at his desk, seriously conceiving the storyline for "I Am a Cat".

His fingertips tapped on the keyboard, and the humor and satire of the story floated into his mind. Correspondingly, the experience points of the entries were also slowly increasing.

[Production Sequence 1: A stroke of genius (purple)]

Experience points: 33/100

Experience points: 34/100

Experience points: 35/100

Around eleven o'clock, Genkawa Yu turned off his computer and walked to the bedside, looking at Kurokawa Akane's sleeping face.

But the next moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and her beautiful face smiled as she spoke.

"Yu-kun! Did I scare you?!"

"You scared me to death! You bastard! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Genkawa Yu pounced on him, and cheers erupted throughout the room.

After a while, the laughter and chatter turned into slightly heavy breathing and the girl's soft whispers.

Paying grain taxes was mandatory, even when traveling.

The next morning, Yuu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa got up at seven o'clock.

Today's destination is West Lake.

The two strolled along the Su Causeway, the air filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and looking up, they could see the Leifeng Pagoda in winter.

Akane Kurokawa curiously observed everything around her, occasionally taking out her camera to capture the beautiful scenery before her.

This kind of scenery is something you can't find in Tokyo.

As a semi-local, Genkawa Yu told Kurokawa Akane the stories of Su Causeway and Leifeng Pagoda. The winter wind occasionally ruffled Kurokawa Akane's long hair, but she didn't care at all, and just admired the beautiful scenery.

"Yu-jun, are you very interested in Xia culture? How do you know so many stories about it?"

"Yes, I am very interested."

After all, in my past life I was a Chinese from the Xia Kingdom.

Genkawa Yu tidied the girl's hair and took her hand for a slow walk.

After enjoying the scenery of Hangzhou and West Lake, the last stop is the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou.

The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four most famous gardens in China, with an exquisite layout and pavilions and towers complementing each other.

As Kurokawa Akane entered the Humble Administrator's Garden, she was immediately captivated by the beautiful scenery before her. She walked carefully, afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the place.

"It's a bit like a scene from a Taiga drama..."

“Akane, you’re mistaken. Many aspects of Japanese architecture and culture were learned from the Xia Kingdom.”

Genkawa Yu explained earnestly, "Because many people came to the Xia Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty to learn and then brought the knowledge back to use."

"Haven't you noticed that the architecture here is more magnificent and exquisite, and built in one go?"

The girl stroked the railings of the pavilions and towers, seemingly understanding what Genkawa Yu meant.

"Is that right?"

Genkawa Yu explained the history of the Humble Administrator's Garden to her, even going so far as to delve into many past events, which Kurokawa Akane listened to with great interest.

After visiting the Humble Administrator's Garden, the two went to Pingjiang Road.

Pingjiang Road is an ancient street in Suzhou. The winding bluestone path is lined with shops on both sides, where you can feel the most authentic local atmosphere.

Akane Kurokawa curiously strolled through the roadside shops, where a variety of handicrafts and local snacks dazzled the girl.

This trip was different from the last one with Mai Sakurajima in Shanghai; it was a pure enjoyment trip, so Yuu Genkawa was in high spirits.

As she strolled around, a traditional-style Hanfu shop caught Kurokawa Akane's eye.

The shop entrance was adorned with a variety of Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), their vibrant colors and exquisite designs instantly captivating Akane Kurokawa.

She stopped and looked at the Hanfu in the shop, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Yu-kun, look how pretty those clothes are!"

"Oh...it's Hanfu."

Hanfu?

Akane Kurokawa awkwardly repeated Yu Minakawa's words in Japanese, her curiosity growing even stronger.

"This is the traditional clothing of the Xia Kingdom, called Hanfu, which was worn by the people of the ancient Xia Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Akane Kurokawa's eyes lit up.

"Is this what people wore in ancient times? I want to try it on!"

"of course can."

Genkawa Yu nodded, then took Kurokawa Akane's hand and walked into the Hanfu shop.

The owner of the Hanfu shop was a gentle young lady who immediately put on a hospitable smile when she saw them walk in.
