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

After Asakura Toru sat down, he picked up a tuna sandwich and took a small bite.

The bread is soft, the tuna filling is generous, and it has a subtle wasabi aroma that perfectly tantalizes the taste buds.

"It's delicious." Her eyes lit up. "It's even better than what you buy at the convenience store."

"As long as Asakura-san likes it."

While the two were having a picnic, the film crew nearby were intently watching the camera. Although there was nothing too intimate between them, the atmosphere was very pleasant, definitely a "sweet" scene that viewers would love.

"Mr. Yuanchuan, do you remember our first meeting at the villa?"

Asakura Toru suddenly spoke, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the texture of the picnic mat.

"Before I came to participate in this program, since it was already announced that Mr. Genkawa would be participating, Madoka thought it was a very magical thing that I could live in the same villa as the writer."

Genkawa Yu paused, looking up at her. Asakura Toru had just mentioned that the girl named Higuchi Madoka was her idol group teammate and childhood friend, which made him a little curious.

"why?"

A faint smile appeared on Asakura Toru's lips. "She always says that a person who can turn everyday little things into touching stories must be a very special person."

A hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes, "Actually, I didn't have much of a concept of writers and teachers before. I always felt that they were far removed from my life. It wasn't until I spent time with Mr. Yuanchuan that I had a more real experience."

Genkawa Yu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "So Asakura-san had a general idea of ​​my personality from the beginning, and when we first met at the villa, you came up and asked me directly if I had any favorite idol groups?"

"Yes, I was thinking that it would be very embarrassing if I was seen as a presumptuous person... Fortunately, Professor Genkawa is not that kind of person."

Asakura Toru took a sip of juice, his eyes crinkling with a smile, his posture completely relaxed.

"Asakura-san's personality is really unique."

"Would Mr. Genkawa find this strange?"

This was the third time she had used the word "strange." She clearly didn't care about other people's opinions, yet she seemed somewhat conflicted about it.

"Of course not. I don't think it's necessary to care too much about other people's opinions. Just follow your heart when doing things."

Looking at the distant blue sky, Yuan Chuanyu said, "If everyone had to learn how others do things, wouldn't this world be very boring?"

"That's what I think too."

Asakura Toru seemed to completely agree with this statement, and she moved closer to Genkawa Yu, "Then we've found another thing in common, Genkawa-sensei."

The previous common point was about "feelings growing over time" and "understanding".

"Yes, we've found another common ground."

A gentle breeze swept across the grass, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became quiet, with a relaxed and comfortable feeling floating in the air.

Genkawa Yu glanced at the system panel; his in-depth conversation with Asakura Toru had indeed led to an increase in experience.

Production Sequence 1: The Masses

Experience points: 22/100

Experience points: 23/100

"So... what kind of story does Genkawa-sensei plan to write for his next work?"

Asakura Toru stretched and looked at the young man's handsome profile.

"It's probably still related to being in a relationship."

He gazed at the distant lake, the sea breeze ruffling his blond hair. "But it might not be a novel; it could be a screenplay."

Genkawa Yu knew that this segment would definitely be broadcast by the program team, which would be a good opportunity to promote himself.

He can't get the entry for "Bestselling Author (Purple)" in the short term, so the young man plans to try writing a first draft of a script first, since he has the entry for "Junior Novelist (Green)" as a backup.

"A script? Is Professor Genkawa planning to write a movie script?"

"Maybe, I'll know once I finish writing it."

Just then, Asakura Toru seemed to suddenly remember something, took a white-covered book out of her bag, and handed it directly to Genkawa Yu.

"Actually, I brought this book with me today."

“Yuanxiang knew I was going out with you, so she asked me to buy her a copy of ‘Love Letter’ so she could ask Mr. Genkawa to sign it for her.”

Genkawa Yu was stunned for a moment, then took the book, his fingertips brushing against the familiar cover, a feeling of unexpected warmth rising in his heart.

"Sure, do you need me to write a blessing?"

"Hmm..." Asakura Toru rested her chin on her small hand, a light smile in her eyes, "Let's write that I wish Higuchi Madoka could become a talkative person."

"it is good."

"Hehehe, I think she'll be happy."

Asakura Toru smiled broadly, recalling the quiet and reserved nature of his childhood playmate.

"That's good."

Volume 1 The Shining Morning Star: Chapter 63 The Romance Variety Show Premieres, CP Fans Officially Emerge (10,000-word update complete, please subscribe)

After the trip with Asakura Toru came to an end, the next day arrived quickly.

Today is the official broadcast date of this variety show, but the participating members don't have time to get together to watch it.

Although everyone doesn't have to clock in and out from nine to five, there are occasional impromptu training sessions. After breakfast, Yuan Chuan You realized that he was the only person in the villa who didn't have to go out.

But this is good, because it allows him to quietly think about the story he already has ideas for.

Genkawa Yu sat alone in the room. Although there were cameras in the room, the director would not film the specific images on his laptop.

After earning a substantial amount of royalties, Yu Genkawa has now started creating stories using a laptop.

The new story is called "Love Like a Bouquet".

His fingertips tapped lightly on the laptop keyboard, the screen light illuminating his focused profile.

Genkawa Yu meticulously sketched out the opening scene.

Scene: Dim lighting, crowded with people.

Yamano Mugi (male protagonist) and Hachiya Kinu (female protagonist) meet by chance because neither of them catches the last train.

They discovered that they both wore the same style of white canvas shoes, liked to use movie ticket stubs as bookmarks, and even the books on their bookshelves were strikingly similar.

A sense of surprise, like "another me in the world," was spreading through me.

The two quickly fell in love.

They huddled together in their tiny apartment reading comics, shedding tears over the same plot, sharing a pair of headphones, listening to the same band's songs, their heartbeats synchronized.

Wandering aimlessly through the streets late at night, chatting about topics that never seem to end.

The initial form of love is much like a carefully selected and perfectly arranged bouquet, each flower vibrant and full of initial excitement and passion.

As he wrote this, a hint of barely perceptible regret flickered in Genkawa Yu's eyes.

He knew that this bouquet of flowers would eventually wither.

Meanwhile, before the program officially aired, Yuki Natsukawa diligently sat in front of her computer.

On the screen, the countdown to the premiere of the dating reality show "The Essential Course of Love in Life" is ticking, and the barrage of comments in the lower right corner has already begun to flood the screen, with comments such as "Finally, it's going to premiere!" and "Looking forward to Genkawa-sensei's first variety show."

As the group leader of the "We Who Love Yu-kun with All Our Might" fan group, Yuki Natsukawa successfully joined the ranks of Yu Minakawa's female fans through the TV series "49".

"Welcome to the NHK reality show 'The Essential Course in Love'! I'm your host, Kenta Sato!"

As the rousing opening music played, a studio scene appeared on the screen, with Kenta Sato, dressed in a silver-gray suit, standing in the center, introducing the four observers in turn.

"This is actress Nana Suzuki, who won Best Actress for her role in 'The Tale of the Late Cherry Blossoms'. Next to her is music producer Ryosuke Takahashi, who has created many classic songs that have been performed on the Kohaku Uta Gassen."

"Also, there's the award-winning screenwriter Saori Honda and actor Akira Kitagawa. These four guests will be offering their exclusive analysis of the show from their own perspectives today!"

Looking at the guests on the screen who are often seen on TV programs, Yuki Natsukawa immediately sat up straight, because she knew all four of the observers.

In the studio, after the observers finished exchanging pleasantries, the screen switched to the main episode of the dating reality show.

In the villa courtyard, Yuan Chuanyou, carrying a suitcase, slowly pushed open the door, and the camera focused on his handsome face.

"Here he comes! Yu-kun is so handsome!"

Yuki Natsukawa couldn't help but scream, and the comments section instantly erupted.

"Mr. Genkawa's blonde hair is absolutely stunning!"

"His profile is killer!"

"If I were a girl on the show, I would definitely fall for her immediately!"

In the studio, Suzuki Nana began to comment on the gathering of everyone. Kurokawa Akane was the last to arrive and naturally sat down next to Genkawa Yu.

"So it's because we've acted together that we're so familiar with each other?"

“Yes, it’s really a special kind of fate to run into someone you know on a dating show.” Ryosuke Takahashi nodded in agreement.

"The other members were quite surprised. They had only just met. They were probably wondering if Genkawa-sensei would directly pair up with Kurokawa-san?"

As the screenwriter, Saori Honda carefully observed the expressions of the other members.

"Let's keep watching."

From their first meeting and conversation at the villa to the start of their first topic, Yuki Natsukawa became increasingly engrossed in watching.

This is actually the effect that Director Aoyama wanted. Although the non-celebrity guests selected for previous dating shows were also handsome men and beautiful women, their appearance level was indeed far inferior to that of real entertainment industry professionals and internet celebrities.

Even though no romantic feelings have been expressed between them yet, just looking at them is pleasing to the eye.

Just as Yuki Natsukawa was engrossed in watching, the plot on the screen brought up a discussion where the members had to choose between "love at first sight or love that grows over time" and "understanding or attraction".

Each member's answer represents their first impression on the audience, and the post-production editing did not make any special adjustments to this part. As the biggest draw of the show, Yuu Genkawa was the last to answer.

"I choose love that grows over time."

"Comprehension, I suppose."

After Genkawa Yu's two answers were announced, all six people's answers were displayed on the screen like stickers, immediately attracting another wave of barrage comments.

"Doesn't Mr. Genkawa believe in love at first sight?"

"Wow, is MEM Chu-chan actually a person who falls in love at first sight?"
