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

"There are rumors in the industry that Sakurajima is gentle and polite to the staff, unlike..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his tone was full of helplessness.

"Hehe, doesn't seem like what?"

"Hehe, I was just saying it offhand, just pretend you didn't hear it. It's fate that we, such insignificant people, meet."

Although Beichuan was a little tired, it was clear that he was very enthusiastic, much like a recent college graduate, with a kind of "clear beauty".

"really."

Seeing Kitagawa like this, Genkawa Yu suddenly thought of Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi is also my artist assistant, busy with everything every day, and I seem to have gotten used to being taken care of by her.

Does she... feel very tired?

I'll ask next time.

Kitagawa seemed to notice him as he fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Genkawa, what's wrong?"

Genkawa Yu snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and said with a smile.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Just as the two were getting back to talking, Kitagawa's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression instantly turned tense.

“Hey, Haruta-san... Okay, okay, I understand; I’ll go buy it right away, please wait a moment.”

After hanging up the phone, Kitagawa's helplessness deepened, and he smiled apologetically at Genkawa Yu.

"Sorry, Genkawa-san, Haruta-san wants hot cocoa, and it has to be freshly made. I have to hurry and buy it, or she'll scold me again."

"It's okay, just go ahead."

Genkawa Yu nodded, his tone gentle.

"be careful on the road."

Watching the other person's hurried departure, Genkawa Yu couldn't help but sigh.

It's not easy for everyone.

I stayed on set until about 6 p.m., and the commercial shoot was finally finished.

Although the final video is less than a minute long, the filming took several hours.

"Sakurajima-san, thank you for your hard work during filming."

As the main character today, after filming the commercial, everyone thanked Mai Sakurajima, and the girl was very well-mannered, politely returning the thanks to each person.

When Mai Sakurajima walked out of the studio, Yu Genkawa immediately went to greet her.

"Sakurajima-san, thank you for your hard work."

"Ah."

Sakurajima Mai gave her man a disapproving look, knowing that Genkawa Yu had just been slacking off.

How can you expect celebrities to be busy on set while staff members are lounging in a corner playing on their phones?

Hmph! I'll deal with him when I get home tonight!

Just as the two were chatting, Haruta Aya walked towards Sakurajima Mai again.

The other person had bright pink long hair, fair skin, delicate features, and an outstanding figure; she did look very cute.

"Sakurajima-san, the photos you just took of Kagami Mio and Mio are absolutely perfect. I was mesmerized by them."

"Thank you," Mai Sakurajima replied politely.

"By the way, today's filming is all over. I just finished writing Sakurajima-san's instructions. I was wondering if you have time to invite you to dinner."

Hearing her say that, Mai Sakurajima still had a gentle smile on her face, but the words she spoke were a firm rejection.

"I'm sorry, Haruta-san, I'm really sorry, I have work to do later, so I can't have dinner with you."

Haruta Aya's smile froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Sakurajima Mai to refuse so decisively, and a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across her eyes.

"Oh, that's a real shame."

After she finished speaking, her gaze inadvertently fell on Genkawa Yu, who was standing next to Sakurajima Mai.

The woman looked him up and down, a hint of curiosity suddenly appearing in her eyes.

Although the staff member in front of me was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, he had a tall and straight posture, and even in ordinary staff uniform, he looked very special.

He seems... kind of handsome?

"Is there anything else, Mr. Springfield?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Sakurajima-san. If you have something to do, please go ahead and do it."

"it is good."

Mai Sakurajima glanced at Yu Genkawa beside her, then spoke calmly.

"Mr. Genkawa, did you order the dinner I asked you to order?"

"Uh...it's settled."

Genkawa Yu immediately replied, understanding that Sakurajima Mai wanted to play role-playing games in front of others again, since he had been slacking off and hadn't ordered takeout at all.

"Huh?"

Haruta Aya seemed somewhat surprised, and after hearing this address, she spoke as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"Sakurajima-san, is your staff member's surname Genkawa?"

"how?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought of Genkawa Yuu-san. I saw him once at an event, he's really handsome..."

She spoke with a hint of deliberate flattery, after all, she had read the gossip about Genkawa Yu and Sakurajima Mai and knew that the two might have a special relationship in private.

But to her surprise, this flattering remark made Sakurajima Mai somewhat "unhappy".

Because the girl didn't like those shady women mentioning Yuu Minakawa's name.

"is it?"

Mai Sakurajima spread her arms wide, her face still bearing a smiling expression, but the warmth in her eyes instantly turned cold.

"Haruta-san, do you know Genkawa-kun?"

This seemingly simple statement carried an invisible pressure, instantly shattering the relaxed atmosphere.

Haruta Aya's smile froze instantly. She didn't know what she had said wrong, so she could only wave her hand quickly and put on an awkward smile.

"N-No, Sakurajima-san, how would I know Genkawa-kun?"

"I just thought the surname was a coincidence, so I mentioned it casually. I didn't mean anything by it."

Mai Sakurajima looked at her quietly, the coldness in her eyes not diminishing in the slightest.

"Is that so? Since it's just a coincidence, it's best not to mention Genkawa-kun's name casually, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."

"...Yes, yes, I understand, Sakurajima-san."

"Ah."

"Then I'll take my leave, Sakurajima-san."

After saying that, she gave Mai Sakurajima a quick bow and turned to walk towards her rest area.

The woman walked hurriedly, as if she didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

"Seriously, why are you scaring people?"

Genkawa Yu lowered his voice, his tone laced with a hint of mockery.

"What scares? I just didn't want her to mention your name. What kind of person is she?"

"Then why did you deliberately call me Genkawa-san?"

Genkawa Yu knew that this was a strange thought of the girl; she wanted to deliberately mention the name "Genkawa-san" to make others make connections, but she didn't want others to comment on her casually.

Women's hearts are just that complicated.

"So what? I call you Genkawa-san... it has nothing to do with her."

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes at him. "I don't want other women gossiping about you."

"Ok."

After a while, Genkawa Yu seemed to remember something and then asked.

"Mai, are you hungry?"

Sakurajima Mai looked at him, her eyes brimming with laughter, a playful smile curving her lips, and immediately uttered a sweet nothing.

"Just seeing Yu-kun makes me feel full."

"Really."

Upon hearing this, Genkawa Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Then I'll order takeout myself. I'll order my favorite tonkotsu ramen and fried chicken nuggets. Don't even think about taking mine later!"

"you dare!"

Sakurajima Mai playfully punched his chest lightly.

"If you dare to eat this by yourself, I'll fire you!"

"I'm so scared."

Genkawa Yu turned around and walked towards the exit of the film set, saying, "Just fire me already!"

"You think beautiful!"
