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

“…”

Genkawa Yu sighed, but still asked, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me first? How far have you gotten?"

"Does Genkawa-kun want to see my abilities?"

"Just out of curiosity."

"Alright then, I'll try to analyze it."

After so much contact, Akane Kurokawa could actually sense the change in Yu Minakawa's emotions; she knew he wasn't angry.

After a while, the girl used her "profile" ability to review the events in her mind before slowly speaking.

“First of all, Genkawa-kun is the most popular person on this show. I believe that Director Aoyama must have considered this when he invited you. You are different from us, and your popularity is obviously a level higher.”

"Therefore, Genkawa-kun's behavior on the show will definitely attract a lot of attention. From the moment you chose the quiet Asakura-san for your first trip, I guessed that Genkawa-kun wanted to interact with all the girls and create a unique direction for the show."

"for example?"

Yu Minakawa highly approves of Akane Kurokawa's logical abilities, indicating that she has other strengths besides acting.

“We’ve watched a lot of dating reality shows together before. Generally speaking, dating reality shows will eventually lead to love, no matter how many there are, someone will definitely find a partner in the end.”

"However, the show is called 'Love is a compulsory course in life.' Analyzing the meaning of the title, I think Director Aoyama doesn't want everyone to experience the sweetness of love."

"Since it's a class, the purpose of a class is to learn some experience or knowledge."

So... the answer is already obvious.

Akane Kurokawa stared at Yu Minakawa's face and said, word by word.

"Genkawa-kun, your goal isn't to extinguish all sparks of love, is it?"

"..."

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star, Chapter Sixty-Nine: I Want to Be a More Useful Person for You

When Akane Kurokawa gave the answer, Yu Minakawa was stunned for a moment, and then a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

He smiled and looked directly at the girl opposite him.

"Kurokawa, your guess is indeed very accurate."

This answer was almost tantamount to an admission, and Akane Kurokawa was smart enough not to press further, but instead brought up another topic.

That's the key reason she came here tonight.

"Genkawa-kun, as I said before, no matter what you plan to do, I will be by your side and be your strongest support."

"so?"

Genkawa Yu roughly understood her thoughts; it turned out that tonight wasn't a showdown, but rather a further exchange.

Now that I understand Genkawa-kun's goal, I must help you achieve it.

Akane Kurokawa's voice was very serious.

"I want to be someone more useful to you."

"..."

These words, imbued with the girl's surging emotions and unwavering attitude, moved Yuan Chuanyou's expression. He could truly feel this, so he nodded earnestly.

How do you plan to help me?

Seeing that the other party was not opposed, Kurokawa Akane breathed a sigh of relief, then clenched her small hands into fists and slowly said.

"For the second date, the male protagonist makes the plan and the female protagonist chooses. I suggest that Genkawa-kun's plan should not have any professional characteristics and should be as simple as possible to confuse people."

"and then?"

Inspired by her earnest demeanor, Genkawa Yu also became serious.

"Then I went to tell MEM Chusang in advance that you want to choose her for this trip."

“MEM Chusan isn’t really keen on dating, but as a YouTuber, she naturally wouldn’t object to traveling with someone like Genkawa-kun who has a huge following.”

“As long as she submits the application, Genkawa-kun can directly approve it and then carry out your plan…” Kurokawa Akane continued.

"I can also try to gauge Asakura-san's opinion tomorrow and see what she thinks about this. If she cooperates, your goal can be easily achieved."

Akane Kurokawa spoke eloquently, as if she could already see the scene after the plan succeeded.

However, when Genkawa Yu heard the second half, he immediately shook his head, because he remembered Asakura Toru at the banquet.

The teenage idol, who doesn't seem to have many emotional fluctuations, has actually already shown some inclinations. If we were to deliberately test her now, it would backfire.

"Let's forget about Asakura-san's matter. Kurokawa, if you really want to help, just tell MEM-chan."

"Ok?"

Kurokawa Akane was taken aback when she saw that Genkawa Yu wanted to exclude Asakura Toru, and stared at the young man in front of her in a daze.

"why?"

"Asakura-san's personality is actually quite unique. She hardly cares about anyone's opinion, so her final choice is unpredictable."

Genkawa Yu slowly explained, "Whether she chooses my plan or not, I won't choose her, so there's no need to go through the trouble."

"and many more..."

Akane Kurokawa is currently pondering Yu Minakawa's thoughts. Her mind works quickly, and if she were to consider things from the other person's perspective, launching a multi-pronged attack would indeed be a good idea to extinguish all the flames of romance in everyone's hearts.

However, the attitude that Genkawa Yu is showing now is a bit strange.

His relationship with Asakura

Has something changed?

"In that case, I'll listen to Genkawa-kun. I'll find an opportunity to talk to MEM-chan about it."

Akane Kurokawa suppressed her complex thoughts and took the initiative to change the subject again.

That's good.

"So, for your second trip, Genkawa-kun, where do you plan to go?"

"Hmm... let's choose the simplest one, Tokyo Disneyland."

"Okay, I see."

After Kurokawa Akane left, Genkawa Yu sighed helplessly.

To be honest, his "werewolf" project has been progressing very smoothly during this period, perfectly meeting Director Aoyama's requirements.

Although everything went smoothly, it also raised another issue.

The purpose of the "werewolf" is to help girls see their own hearts clearly and not be easily misled by others in making romantic choices.

After Genkawa Yu's actions, at least two girls have now shifted their attention to him, which can indeed prevent him from developing romantic feelings for others.

But the problem is... what if they all develop romantic feelings for the "werewolf"?

Should I reject them all on the night of confession?

Rubbing his hair, Yuu Minakawa decided to think about the answer to this complicated question first.

The night before the second date plan for the dating show was announced, the moonlight was as clear as water, spilling into every corner of the dating show villa.

The rules of this date were simply reversed, but it still put a lot of pressure on the guys. After all, whether they could attract the girl they liked depended entirely on how cleverly the plan was devised.

The second men's meeting was held in Genkawa Yu's room.

Nobuyuki Kumano rubbed his meticulously styled hair in frustration, then turned his gaze to Yuu Genkawa, who was leisurely flipping through a book on the opposite bed. "Genkawa, seriously, have you come up with a plan yet? Give me some inspiration, I'm completely clueless this time."

He really didn't want to be forced to passively wait for the outcome like he had done the first time.

On the other sofa, Kengo Morimoto took off his headphones and put them around his neck, glancing at Yu Genkawa with a questioning look in his eyes. He was clearly also troubled by this problem.

Genkawa Yu calmly closed his book, looked up at the two slightly anxious boys, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

"I don't think you need to be so nervous. Ultimately, it's the girls who choose to apply for the program, and we still have a choice. We can choose to approve or reject."

"Therefore, what we need to consider more is whether or not to reveal professional characteristics in the plan."

Both Kumano and Morimoto understood this, and they hadn't decided whether to reveal the professional characteristics in their plans. In the last plan, only MEM's plan revealed the professional characteristics, but Morimoto, who chose her, was rejected.

So, what's your choice?

Morimoto looked directly at Genkawa Yu.

“I want to hide my professional background in the plan and devise a simple dating plan,” Genkawa Yu smiled slightly.

"Then I'll hide too. Anyway, if it's a random selection, I think there might still be a chance."

Nobuyuki Kumano had figured it out. If he were to reveal his identity and profession, the most girls would probably choose Yuu Minakawa. In that case, it would be better to keep everything hidden and rely on randomness to win.

"Morimoto-nii, what about you?"

"Then I'll choose random too."

Kengo Morimoto smiled, but quickly added, "It would be a bit awkward if no one chose my plan in the end."

"Your idea... suddenly frightens me."

Kumano Nobuyuki, pale-faced, seemed to fully accept this possibility; if they still couldn't find a match on the second date, then he really wouldn't have much of a chance.

"All of them are hidden professions, so at this point it all comes down to luck."

Genkawa Yu said quietly, having no expectations for the outcome of tomorrow's choice.

It was early morning of the second day.

The sun was shining brightly in front of the bulletin board on the first floor of the villa.

The three girls focused their attention on the three plans that had just been posted—just like last time, they only had simple ABC codes and plan content.

Plan A: [Destination: Tokyo Disneyland; Activities: Experience thrilling rides and the magical carousel, enjoy special cartoon-themed snacks, forget your worries, and have a whole day of fun.]

Plan B: [Destination: Himiko sightseeing boat; Activities: Enjoy a sightseeing boat tour of Tokyo's downtown area, experience unique scenery, savor pre-prepared delicious bento boxes, and feel the sea breeze and freedom.]
