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

After a while, he suddenly laughed.

“Editor Machida, don’t worry. If anyone is interested in changing the copyright, just have them come directly to Star Engine. Our copyright department will talk to them.”

"Okay, I'll pass on the message."

Machida Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Genkawa Yu was not an ordinary author, but the boss of a large company.

"Well, hard work."

Machida Sonoko smiled and said, "It's not hard work at all. Let's talk about this later."

"it is good."

The phone hangs up.

Genkawa Yu put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and stared at the ceiling.

The success of "I Am a Cat" made him feel gratified, but at the same time it made him realize that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

Actor, music producer, writer, and company owner.

Each of these four identities requires a significant investment of time and energy, and as the Star Engine continues to expand, the number of tasks he needs to handle also increases.

He needs to make a choice.

He already had a plan for this.

After returning from Kanomori Island, he has been thinking about his future direction.

Although his acting career has been smooth, for him it has been more of a means than an end.

He gained fame and resources through acting, but what truly gave him a sense of accomplishment was music, writing, and the sense of control that came with running a company.

Therefore, he decided to reduce his investment in the entertainment industry.

He hasn't officially announced this decision yet, but Kato Megumi has already informed him in advance.

Just then, there was a light knock on the office door twice, and then it was pushed open.

Megumi Kato walked in.

Today she wore a milk-white shirt and black cropped trousers, with white low-heeled shoes on her feet.

The girl held a cup of iced coffee in her left hand, with fine water droplets condensing on the cup.

"Mr. Genkawa, here is your coffee."

She walked to the desk and placed the iced coffee in front of Genkawa Yu.

"Ah."

Yuan Chuan You picked up the cup and took a sip. The cool liquid slid down his throat, taking away the slight heat that had accumulated from the phone call.

Kato Megumi did not leave immediately; she held a tablet computer in her hand, which displayed today's schedule.

"Mr. Genkawa, you need to reduce your work in the entertainment industry from now on, right?"

Genkawa Yu nodded.

"Yes, starting this month, you don't need to help me get new film and television offers or variety show appearances. Projects with existing contracts will continue as usual, but they will not be renewed after they expire."

"I understand."

Kato Megumi swiped a few times on the tablet; she was quite clear about Genkawa Yu's situation.

She knew that Yuan Chuanyu no longer needed to make money through entertainment industry affairs; the novel and song copyrights he held already placed him among the top earners in the pyramid.

After discussing work, the girl put down her tablet and then approached Genkawa Yu.

"Ok?"

The next moment, Kato Megumi walked to Genkawa Yu's chair, leaned forward slightly, and then sat on Genkawa Yu's lap like a nimble cat.

Genkawa Yu was taken aback.

What's wrong with me today?

Am my legs a public seat?

After Kato Megumi settled down, she leaned back slightly and rested against Genkawa Yu's chest.

"Minamoto-san."

"what happened?"

"Can I be a little spoiled for now?"

"of course can."

Genkawa Yu looked at her profile as she leaned on his shoulder and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The office was quiet.

The two of them sat quietly like that for a while.

They didn't speak, they didn't move, they simply leaned against each other, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

Starting from May 10th, [Star Engine] entered a state of full preparation.

Two choreographers were brought in from South Korea. Both are top-notch dance choreographers in the industry and have designed concert dances for many well-known idol groups.

They and the four members of [Nokuchiru] spent all their time in the practice room, practicing from nine in the morning to nine at night every day, with only time for meals and short breaks in between.

The costume designers and the lighting and sound teams are also working hard to prepare.

The Tokyo Dome has a very large stage area and a lighting system that is far more complex than that of a typical performance venue.

Yu Genkawa demanded that the lighting design be perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of the music, with corresponding lighting changes for every beat and every note.

Promotional efforts for the concert are also underway, with Star Engine's publicity department continuously releasing pre-concert content on various social media platforms.

Including behind-the-scenes footage and rehearsal videos, every piece of content sparks heated discussions and reposts among fans.

After all, this is a huge event, a concert for 50,000 people, lasting two days. A ticket costs around 5,000 yen, while the price of an inner field ticket exceeds 10,000 yen. No matter how you look at it, this event will bring the company a huge amount of revenue.

Therefore, we must make a strong effort in the initial stages.

Yu Minakawa watched several rehearsals at the rehearsal site and gave detailed feedback and suggestions each time.

Time flies, and there are only five days left until the concert.

All preparations are nearing completion. Stage construction is underway inside the Tokyo Dome, and lighting and sound adjustments are progressing simultaneously. Costumes are all finished, and the four girls are very satisfied after trying them on. Promotional posters and merchandise are also ready and awaiting release on the day of the concert.

November 14th, Wednesday.

Yu Genkawa was making final confirmations in his office, with the complete schedule of the concert displayed on his computer screen.

From the beginning to the end, the time, content, and person in charge of each segment were clearly marked.

Kato Megumi stood next to him, holding a printed checklist, checking each item one by one.

Genkawa Yu leaned back in his chair, gazing at the sky outside the window.

Four days left.

everything's ready.

May 18th, that day finally arrived.

At 5:30 a.m., Genkawa Yu woke up early.

Today he wore a black shirt and dark gray trousers. As the concert's producer, he needed to appear backstage in a formal but not overly flamboyant manner.

The car arrived at Tokyo Dome at 6:15.

Genkawa Yu entered the venue, passed through the security checkpoint, and arrived at the backstage area.

The backstage area is all set up. The dressing room, changing room, lounge, and command center are all ready according to plan.

Genkawa Yu sat down in the command center.

This is a small room with several monitors on the walls, each connected to a surveillance camera in a different area of ​​the venue.

In the center of the room was a long table with a walkie-talkie, a laptop, and various documents on it.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button.

"Attention all groups, this is the commander-in-chief. Confirm that all groups are in position."

The walkie-talkies gradually picked up responses from the various working groups.

The first is the on-site director, followed by the lighting team, sound team, stage team, security team, and so on.

Every voice carried a hint of tension and excitement, like athletes warming up for the final moments before going on stage.

"Received. Each group shall proceed according to the procedure. Report any problems immediately."

He put down the walkie-talkie, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

At 10 a.m., the four girls arrived at the venue.

The four girls turned around at the same time and looked at Genkawa Yu, who was walking out of the command center.

He was wearing a black shirt and dark gray trousers, with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, and he looked capable and composed.

His gaze swept across the faces of the four girls, finally settling on their eyes.

"Today's concert is your stage, and all the glory today belongs to the four of you."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

So relax and enjoy it together!

"Yes!!!"

The girls all gave the same answer.

At 2 p.m., the makeup and styling work officially began. A dozen or so people, including makeup artists, hairstylists, and stylists, worked around them, adjusting every detail to be in the best condition.

At 6 p.m., the doors of Tokyo Dome officially opened.

Manatsu's concert has officially begun!
