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

"what?"

Mai Sakurajima grabbed her bag and strode out of the lounge, where she ran into her manager, who was also her mother.

"Mai, what's wrong?"

"I want to go to Kanomori Island!" Mai Sakurajima looked at her mother, her eyes reddening slightly.

"...Okay, go ahead then."

Sachiko Sakurajima naturally learned about the earthquake news, and she knew that her daughter could no longer work with peace of mind at this time.

Be careful.

"Ah."

Meanwhile, in the heart of Tokyo, at the Star Engine office.

Megumi Kato sat at one end of the conference table, with a laptop open in front of her.

Her expression appeared calm, but a closer look revealed that her hand holding the mouse was trembling slightly.

As Yu Minakawa's lover and assistant, Megumi Kato is the person in the agency who knows his schedule best.

Because she knew all this, she knew better than anyone else that the earthquake occurred in the afternoon, and at that time, Yuu Minakawa should not have been on set.

If he is at the guesthouse

Is it capable of withstanding earthquakes?

She dared not think any further.

The conference room door was pushed open. Asakura Toru strode in, his face showing barely concealed anxiety.

"I need to see Yu!"

"I want to go too, Asakura-san, don't rush."

At this moment, Kazuya Nakahara walked in. The plan to go to the island had been approved almost immediately, so he was also very anxious.

“I contacted three companies, one of which had boats going to the waters near Kanomori Island, but they were cargo ships, not passenger ships.”

"Now that we have the authorization documents, we can set off!"

"Alright! Let's get ready to go now!"

Kato Megumi said without hesitation.

“I’ll go too.” Asakura Toru immediately followed.

Kazuya Nakahara looked at them and sighed.

He had seen all sorts of crises as an agent, but never before had he felt so helpless as he was now.

“Wait a few more minutes, two more people are going,” Kazuya Nakahara said.

Kato Megumi raised her eyebrows slightly, while Asakura Toru looked somewhat puzzled.

"Who else wants to go?"

"It's Kurokawa-san and Sakurajima-san."

As Yu Minakawa's manager, Kazuya Nakahara had long since turned a blind eye to Yu's romantic relationships, neither asking nor investigating them.

In this complicated situation, since no one can contact Yuu Minakawa, the anxious girls naturally came forward.

"...Let them come if they want. As long as Genkawa-san is alright, it doesn't matter how many people go."

At this point, Kato Megumi no longer cared about the matter; the most important thing was that Genkawa Yuuto was alright.

"Ah."

Asakura Toru also had no objections.

It was still early morning, and the sunlight outside the window was lovely.

The streets of Tokyo were as busy as ever, with trains arriving on time, pedestrians hurrying by, and shops opening promptly.

Nobody knew... or rather, most people didn't care that an earthquake had occurred on a small island far from the mainland.

Since Yuu Minakawa couldn't contact his girls at this time, he naturally didn't know what they were doing.

Yuu Minakawa didn't know.

The girls are running around for him, anxiously struggling, and even breaking down.

He simply sat calmly in Ribun Park on Kanomori Island, waiting for the approaching rescue fleet.

Genkawa Yu opened a pack of compressed biscuits, broke one half and handed it to Higuchi Enka, and the other half to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Let's eat something first," he said. "The rescue team should be here soon, anyway."

Higuchi Enka took the cookie and took small bites, her gaze passing over the park fence and looking towards the distant sea.

"If she saw the news, she'd probably be very worried," Higuchi Madoka said softly. She knew about the relationship between her teammate and Genkawa Yu, and if she knew about the earthquake here, she would probably feel very desperate.

"It's a pity there's no cell phone signal, otherwise I could have texted them."

Genkawa Yuya knew this, but he really didn't have any good solutions.

“Yes, Genkawa-kun, your girls must be very anxious, right?” Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have returned to her old self, smiling as she looked at Genkawa Yu’s face.

"Perhaps."

Genkawa Yu's hand paused for a moment as their faces appeared in his mind.

Toru Asakura, Akane Kurokawa, Mai Sakurajima, Megumi Kato.

What are they doing? Have they seen the news?

For some reason, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

"I still need to ask when communications will be restored. I need to reassure them as soon as possible."

"I just asked, and the base station is still under repair."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her tone seemingly somewhat helpless.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Higuchi Madoka gazed at Genkawa Yu, realizing that after experiencing the earthquake together, she hadn't taken things any further with him.

What should I do now that it's all over?

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Higuchi Enka beside her. She seemed to sense something, but the girl said nothing.

The three people remained seated on the grass, awaiting rescue.

The black dot on the sea surface is getting closer and closer.

Genkawa Yu squinted as he watched the rescue ship bearing the Japan Coast Guard insignia gradually approach the port of Kanomori Island.

The ship was not large, but it looked sturdy, and the deck was filled with rescue workers in uniform.

Some of them were carrying supplies, some were observing the island with binoculars, and some were gesturing to people on the shore.

Regardless of the circumstances, an earthquake is a very serious natural disaster, so the local county government takes it very seriously.

"The rescue team has arrived," Higuchi Enka said softly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also looked up, gazing at the approaching ship.

She didn't speak, but the emotion in her eyes was the same as that of Higuchi Enka. She let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

Genkawa Yu smiled and offered words of comfort.

"At least I don't have to keep waiting here."

The sea breeze carried the salty smell of the sea and the acrid smell of burning from afar, reminding him that the island was still in the midst of disaster.

But at least the rescue team has arrived, and communications should be restored soon.

After a while, the boat docked.

The port's pier was half broken in the earthquake, but the rescue boats still managed to find a place to dock.

The crew quickly threw down ropes to secure the boat to the shore.

Then, a dozen or so rescuers in orange uniforms jumped off the boat and began setting up a temporary command post on the shore.

Because an announcement had been made in advance, rescue workers and those transporting supplies immediately moved toward the island's [Lifen Park].

Genkawa Yu could see everyone walking over in an orderly line, each with a serious expression.

Just then, someone seemed to recognize Yuan Chuan You Liu 0? Yi V|? Ying 2? Xia Su ?a and took the initiative to greet him.

"Mr. Genkawa? You're here too?"

Genkawa Yu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a suit walking towards him.

The man was in his forties, slightly overweight, and his hair was neatly combed. Although his suit was covered in dust, his usual meticulous style was still evident.

Genkawa Yu was stunned for a moment before he finally recognized the other person.

Nakazawa Masaru, an official of the Tokyo Ministry of Home Affairs.

Previously, when [Star Engine] participated in a government-organized entertainment industry symposium, Genkawa Yu had a few exchanges with him. Although they weren't close friends, they were at least acquaintances.

"Nakazawa-san?"

Genkawa Yu was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat enlightened. "Was this rescue operation organized by you?"

"Yes."

Nakazawa Masaru walked over quickly, a look of surprise on her face.

"Mr. Genkawa, are you alright? Were you on the island when the earthquake happened?"

“Yes, I’m here to film a movie,” said Yuu Genkawa. “But I happened to be outside when the earthquake happened, so I ran out.”

"That's good."
