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

"Genkawa-kun, the island's broadcasting station just started."

"A radio station?" Genkawa Yu immediately pressed, "What's the deal with the radio station?"

"The backup power should have started."

"About twenty minutes ago, I heard a loudspeaker in the distance. Although I couldn't quite make out what it was saying, it sounded like it was telling everyone to gather somewhere," said Higuchi Madoka.

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked back from the edge of the open space and picked up the conversation.

"I listened carefully just now, and the broadcast said... all residents and stranded personnel on the island, please proceed to the [Liben Park] in the center of the island to assemble."

She had an excellent memory and recited the broadcast almost word for word.

Genkawa Yu stood up and stretched his stiff body.

"It should be a backup power source; they've probably already contacted the local area."

"Has the signal been restored?" Yuan Chuan You took out his phone and glanced at it. The screen still displayed the words "No Service".

"The base station probably hasn't been repaired yet," Kasumigaoka Utaha speculated. "I think it's possible that only the backup power supply for the broadcasting station is working."

Genkawa Yu nodded; this explanation made sense.

Broadcasting stations on islands are typically equipped with emergency generators and shortwave transmitters, enabling them to conduct basic broadcasts in the event of a complete power and communications outage.

“Let’s go then,” he said. “To the rendezvous point to wait for rescue.”

Higuchi Enka had already packed all the supplies. She rolled up the quilt again and tied it with rope. The remaining food and water were packed in a shopping bag. She handed the shopping bag to Kasumigaoka Utaha next to her, and then picked up the quilt herself.

"I'll take them all," Genkawa Yu said, reaching out to take the items.

"Need not."

Higuchi Enka dodged to the side, her expression resolute.

"You were exhausted yesterday, let me share some of the burden today."

Looking at her serious expression, and then glancing at Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, Yuu Genkawa finally gave up and didn't insist any further.

The three of them left the woods where they had spent the night and walked along the path toward the center of the island.

They encountered some other people who were also heading towards the meeting point.

There were elderly people pushing wheelchairs with their spouses in them, young mothers holding babies, and middle school students in school uniforms walking together in twos and threes, their faces filled with confusion and fear.

No one laughed, no one spoke. Everyone just walked with their heads down, as if they were attending a long funeral procession.

Yuanchuan You walked at the front, occasionally glancing back at the two girls behind him, who seemed quite calm.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the meeting point.

【Lifen Park】is the largest public green space on the island. It is usually a place for residents to take walks and for children to play. At this moment, about two or three hundred people have gathered here, scattered in various corners of the grass.

Some people sat on the ground to rest, some huddled together and talked in hushed tones, while others stared blankly at the sky, lost in thought.

After the three of them, including Yuu Minakawa, walked over, the older police officer recorded their information one by one, and then handed them three bottles of mineral water and three packs of compressed biscuits.

"These are the supplies we can currently allocate. More supplies will be provided once the rescue team arrives. Please find a place to rest in the park and do not wander around."

Genkawa Yu accepted the supplies, thanked them, and then led the two girls to a corner of the park to sit down.

Actually, the police officers or other residents recognized him as an actor who came to film a movie, but given the situation today, no one had the time or inclination to greet him.

The earthquake devastated everyone's lives; who cares if you're a big star or not?

Everyone is waiting, waiting for this nightmare to end.

Genkawa Yu sat on the grass, gazing at the distant sea, and thought of the other members of the film crew.

How is Haruto Yamazaki doing?

What about the directors? Are the cinematographers, lighting technicians, production assistants, makeup artists... those who were busy on set yesterday, safe now?

The earthquake occurred in the afternoon, when most people were probably still resting in their homes.

"Genkawa-kun, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the crew members; they don't seem to be here."

"Wait a minute."

The girl wanted to comfort him, so she reached out and took his hand.

"Ah."

Kasumigaoka Utaha also came over and stood next to Genkawa Yu, grabbing the person she longed for most at that moment.

"Let's wait a bit."

Tokyo, 7:15 a.m.

Akane Kurokawa turned on the TV news, then got up and washed up.

She went to bed very late last night because she was filming a new TV series, so she didn't get back until midnight.

"Emergency report: According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Kanomori Island in the Seto Inland Sea region at 2:43 p.m. today. The epicenter was about 10 kilometers deep. The number of casualties is currently unknown."

"The island only established communication with the mainland this morning, and the Japan Coast Guard and the Self-Defense Force have dispatched rescue vessels to the island."

"?!"

Akane Kurokawa stood there, completely stunned.

Kanomori Island.

It took her three seconds to realize that Genkawa Yu was on that island, filming a movie there, and now, the island had been struck by an earthquake.

Level 6.8.

The number of casualties is unknown.

Akane Kurokawa felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly; her mind went blank, and all her thinking ability was swallowed up by fear in that instant.

Yu-kun... I don't think so!

She immediately took out her phone, found Yuan Chuan You's number, and pressed the dial button forcefully.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

The long wait made the girl's face grow paler and paler. Although she was a very strong girl, she still found it hard to accept this kind of problem.

The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

A cold, mechanical female voice.

Akane Kurokawa's tears flowed uncontrollably. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and after a while, the girl took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Crying won't help at this time.

She picked up her phone and redialed, this time not to Yu Minakawa, but to his manager, Kazuya Nakahara.

The phone was answered after three rings.

"Kurokawa-san?" Nakahara Kazuya's voice was hoarse and urgent, clearly he already knew the news. "You saw the news too?"

“Yu-kun, he…”

"Here's the thing, Kurokawa-san. We've already started contacting ships. The Japan Coast Guard says ordinary people aren't allowed to enter the disaster area, but that's alright, we've already found people to handle it."

[Star Engine] After all, it's already a big company in the entertainment industry, so this kind of approach is quite easy to find.

"I also need to go."

Akane Kurokawa's voice still trembled with tears, but her tone had become firm.

"But..."

"I have to go, I want to see Yu-kun with my own eyes!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Kazuya Nakahara sighed.

"Alright, then you can come to [Star Engine]."

"Ah."

Akane Kurokawa hung up the phone, her hands still trembling, but the girl didn't have time to care. She grabbed her coat and wallet and rushed out of the house.

At the same time, in another corner of Tokyo.

Mai Sakurajima is getting her makeup done in the dressing room during an advertisement shoot.

Today we're shooting a spring advertisement for a cosmetics brand. It will take from 8 a.m. to the afternoon. As a popular actress, her schedule is always packed.

The makeup artist is applying eyeliner to her.

She closed her eyes, letting the brush gently sweep across her eyelids. The television in the lounge was playing the morning news at a very low volume, which she hadn't been paying attention to.

But a certain keyword suddenly caught her attention.

"Deer Forest Wings, Wife Abandoned and Died w? Island...Earthquake..."

"?"

Mai Sakurajima suddenly opened her eyes. (The last part, "尔易删物揪熘弍-群·聊," appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a chat group or online forum.)

"Sakurajima-san, what's wrong?" The makeup artist was startled.

Mai Sakurajima didn't answer; she stared intently at the television screen, her expression extremely unpleasant.

The television footage showed an aerial view of Kanomori Island, and from the air, the island's outline had changed dramatically.

The scrolling text at the bottom of the screen reads: [6.8 magnitude earthquake, communication disrupted on Kanomori Island, casualties unknown, rescue teams have been dispatched.]

Sakurajima Mai recalled the scene when Genkawa Yu set off a week ago. They were supposed to be together forever, could it be that...?

Mai Sakurajima's small hands trembled slightly as she reached for her phone on the vanity, found Yu Genkawa's number, and immediately pressed the dial button.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

The call could not be connected.

"Sakurajima-san, what's wrong with you?" The makeup artist next to her was terrified as she watched her face grow paler and paler.

"I have something very important to do today! Can today's advertisement be postponed?"
