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

Higuchi Enka's thoughts were somewhat complicated, while Asakura Toru quickly accepted the fact, but there were still some things she needed to clarify.

What are your thoughts on Yu?

"What, what idea?"

Do you want to be with Yu?

"..."

Higuchi Enka fell silent, wondering why Asakura Toru would suddenly ask such a question; she had thought he would get angry.

"I won't get angry, because Yu is the best person, and naturally she will attract a lot of attention."

Asakura Toru said as if it were a matter of course, "I won't mind you."

"?"

Higuchi Madoka was stunned. "What are you talking about?"

“Yu has many girls around him. If you really like him, you can go for it.”

"Go forward?"

After thinking for a moment, Higuchi Enka seemed to understand what Asakura Toru meant.

Is this acceptable?

"Asakura, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know, I don't care how many women are around You, because he deserves it."

"..."

Higuchi Madoka laughed helplessly. Is this what a "love-first" person is like?

This was the definition she initially gave to Asakura Toru, and it still applies today.

"If... I really have to move forward, Asakura, are you really not in a bad mood?"

"Ah."

Elsewhere, Yuu Minakawa, Akane Kurokawa, and Megumi Kato stood at the edge of the temporary search and rescue zone, watching rescuers carry survivors out of the rubble one by one.

The sun was already setting in the west, bathing the entire island in a warm golden hue.

More and more people gathered at Lifen Park, but the order remained good. No one argued or looted, since the island search and rescue team and the marine police had come to the island.

"Yu-kun, look over there!"

Following the direction she pointed, Yuan Chuanyou saw several rescue workers carrying a stretcher out of a collapsed building. On the stretcher lay a middle-aged man with obvious injuries on his face, but he was still conscious.

"That person is..."

Genkawa Yu narrowed his eyes and instantly recognized the other person as the film's director.

"It's director Ryu Omori!"

He took the lead and quickly walked up, with Kurokawa Akane and Kato Megumi following behind him.

The man on the stretcher was indeed Tatsumi Omori, the director of "Seto Inland Sea". He had been hit on the forehead and had several obvious abrasions on his arms, but he was still conscious.

When he saw Yuu Genkawa's figure, he struggled to sit up.

"Genkawa-kun, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

"That's good." The director seemed pleased to see that his male lead was alright, even though he himself was still lying on a stretcher.

"Director Omori, are you alright?"

"It's alright, I won't die for now."

Omori Tatsu gave a wry smile. "I was buried in the bathroom of the guesthouse. Luckily, the rescue team arrived in time."

Yuan Chuanyou breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the director was alright, and the rest of the crew should also have hope.

"Where's Yamazaki-kun?" he asked. "Have you seen him?"

"Yamazaki-kun has been taken to the hospital by the search and rescue team. He's right next to my room, and he's probably unconscious."

"it is good..."

Yuu Genkawa was still a little nervous. Haruto Yamazaki was one of his very important friends. Although the search and rescue team had found him, his unconscious state was quite troublesome, and he still needed further treatment.

"The doctors sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs rescue team are all professional teams, Genkawa-san, don't worry."

Kato Megumi spoke calmly from the side.

Yuan Chuanyu nodded, forcing himself to calm down. He knew that there was no use in being anxious now; he could only wait for news from the rescue team.

"Director Omori, please go to the rest area for treatment first. We can talk again once your condition has stabilized."

Omori nodded, and then was carried away by the rescuers.

As Yuan Chuanyu watched his retreating figure, a complex emotion welled up within him.

This earthquake changed so much—buildings, streets, daily life, and perhaps even the fate of some people.

He didn't know if he could finish filming "Seto Inland Sea," or if the rest of the crew were safe and sound.

But he knew that at least for the moment he was still alive, and that his loved ones were safe and sound.

As the sun sets, everything proceeds smoothly in the temporary rescue area on Kanomori Island.

Rescue workers continued searching the rubble, medical personnel cared for the wounded, long lines formed at the aid distribution points, and residents of Lifen Park quietly awaited tomorrow.

As Yuu Minakawa stood in the sunset, gazing at the distant sea, a strange sense of peace suddenly welled up within him.

"I should be able to go back to Tokyo tomorrow."

"I hope nothing has changed."

Volume 4 To the New World: Chapter 46 Akane Kurokawa and Mai Sakurajima "Shake Hands and Make Peace" (2-in-1 5k)

Four days after the earthquake, the sky over Tokyo was overcast.

In a private hospital room, the smell of disinfectant filled the air. The walls were light blue and the curtains were off-white; everything looked clean and tidy.

Genkawa Yu sat on a chair next to the hospital bed, holding a fruit knife in his hand. He was peeling an apple with steady movements, the blade slowly rotating along the curved surface of the apple. The red peel slid down from the blade like a thin ribbon, hanging down in circles without stopping.

This is quite fun and a good way for Genkawa Yu to pass the time.

The person lying in the hospital bed was none other than Haruto Yamazaki.

His right leg was wrapped tightly in white bandages from knee to ankle, with a metal splint over the bandages.

On the day of the earthquake, although the guesthouse where Haruto Yamazaki was staying did not collapse completely like the [Kaine House], part of the ceiling on the second floor collapsed and landed on his leg.

He was trapped for nearly two hours before the rescue team dug him out. By the time he was taken to the hospital, his legs were swollen like purple radishes.

Fortunately, the surgery was successful. After the splint was put in place, it could be removed after about half a month of rest. After a period of rehabilitation, he could return to normal.

"I really envy you," Yamazaki Haruto said, leaning back on the pillow and watching Genkawa Yu peel the apple. His tone was tinged with a hint of sourness. "No need to be hospitalized, no need for surgery, not even need to wear a bandage."

“That’s because I react quickly enough,” Genkawa Yu said.

"Faster reaction time or faster running speed?"

Haruto Yamazaki pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I've already heard that during the earthquake you carried one girl in each arm and two girls on your back for more than ten minutes on the island?"

"how?"

Genkawa Yu paused for a moment, then continued peeling the apple: "Do you have any objections?"

"Of course not, you deserve to be a hero for saving the damsel in distress!"

Yuu Minakawa didn't respond. He cut the peeled apple into small pieces, put them on a plate, and handed them to Haruto Yamazaki.

"Eat."

Haruto Yamazaki took the plate, picked up a piece of apple, took a bite, and then turned his gaze to Yuu Genkawa.

"By the way, how's things going with our production?" Haruto Yamazaki asked. "Is filming still possible?"

Genkawa Yu paused for a moment, then explained.

“Director Omori was also injured,” he said. “He was hit on the forehead and had a few abrasions on his arm, but they are not serious and he has already been treated at the hospital.”

"Should we continue filming?"

“It’ll take at least a few months,” Genkawa Yu said. “The director needs time to recover, you need time to heal, and besides…”

He paused, his voice becoming somewhat low.

"Moreover, everyone in the crew experienced such a huge earthquake, so they might have a lingering fear of Kanomori Island. Even if they want to continue filming, the filming location might have to be changed."

After listening, Haruto Yamazaki remained silent for a long time.

His gaze fell on the gray sky outside the window, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

"There's really no other way."

After a while, Haruto Yamazaki changed the subject to make the atmosphere in the room more relaxed.

"Now that I've saved the damsel in distress, is the next step to start a fateful romance with you?"

Genkawa Yu didn't smile. He placed the fruit knife next to the plate, wiped his hands with a tissue, and his expression carried a rare sense of helplessness.

"I'll handle these things slowly."

As Yamazaki Haruto observed his expression, his smile gradually faded.

As one of Genkawa Yu's best friends, he certainly knew how complicated this guy's emotional state was.

He currently has at least two lovers, Akane Kurokawa and Mai Sakurajima, and things aren't going well with Enka Higuchi either, and perhaps his little assistant is also involved.

If Kasumigaoka Utaha is included, the number of people will definitely increase.

If you really want to have multiple relationships

Haruto Yamazaki suddenly shivered; he couldn't bear to imagine the scene.

This is not a romantic fantasy story. Every relationship needs to be maintained, and every feeling needs to be reciprocated. It is very difficult to achieve perfection.
