The ship is about 30 meters long and has two decks. The lower deck has passenger cabins and a rest area, while the upper deck has a bridge and an open-air observation deck.

The ship's side is marked with the words "Storm" in dark blue lettering. This is a private ferry that Genkawa Yu bought a long time ago. It is usually moored in Tokyo Bay, and when needed, it is operated by staff from "Star Engine".

At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the ferry set sail and left the dock on time.

Genkawa Yu stood on the upper-level open-air observation deck, holding onto the railing with both hands, watching the Kagoshima coastline gradually recede into the distance.

Kato Megumi stood beside him, holding a map of the island, making final confirmations.

“The main building of the estate has a total of twelve bedrooms,” she said. “Six in the east wing and six in the west wing. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and balcony. In addition, there are two studies, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and an indoor spa.”

"The interior of the auditorium has been completed according to your requirements, and the sound and lighting systems have also been tested and adjusted."

As Yuan Chuanyou listened to her report, his gaze remained fixed on the distant sea.

The hour-long flight passed in the blink of an eye, and the island was right in front of us.

From the sea, the island is even more spectacular than it appears in aerial photographs.

The island's coastline is composed of alternating black volcanic rocks and white coral sand. In the center of the island is a not-too-high hill covered with lush subtropical vegetation, layered upon layered together to form a rich green expanse.

The ferry slowly approached a small dock on the south side of the island.

The pier has been renovated and constructed with anti-corrosion wood, extending all the way to deeper waters, allowing vessels with a draft of less than two meters to dock.

Ahead was a gravel path that wound its way through a coconut grove and led to the manor in the center of the island.

Genkawa Yu and Kato Megumi disembarked and walked along the gravel path toward the manor.

The path was lined with tropical flowers, which were blooming brightly in the sunlight.

After walking for about ten minutes, the entire manor came into view.

Up close, the building is even more exquisite than it appears in photos.

The white exterior walls are made of a special type of stone, each piece of which is hand-selected and perfectly uniform in color and size.

The main gate of the manor is a double solid wood gate with simple geometric patterns carved on the door panels. The door handles are made of brass and gleam in the sunlight.

Genkawa Yu pushed open the door and walked into the manor's hall.

The hall is about 80 square meters in size, with light gray marble floor tiles and a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The original manor on the island was built by the seller, but after being redesigned and renovated by the designer hired by Genkawa Yu, the entire mansion has been completely transformed.

“Mr. Genkawa, the master’s room is on the third floor, over here.”

The room is quite large, about fifty square meters.

The floor was covered with dark hardwood flooring, topped with a cream-colored wool rug.

The room is decorated in the minimalist style that Yuan Chuanyu likes the most. There are no superfluous decorations or fancy colors, only clean lines and just the right amount of white space.

"How about it?"

Genkawa Yu walked around the room, checking every detail.

"It feels good."

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the sea view outside, and was about to say something when the door behind him suddenly closed.

Genkawa Yu turned his head away.

Kato Megumi stood beside the door, one hand still on the lock.

"?"

Kato Megumi didn't answer. She walked directly to Genkawa Yu and put her arms around his waist.

"I want to be the first... to experience what it's like to do it here."

"..."

"You..."

Genkawa Yu looked down at her. Kato Megumi's eyelashes cast dappled shadows in the sunlight, her lips were slightly pursed, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.

Genkawa Yu smiled helplessly, then reached out and put his arm around her waist.

"it is good."

The sunlight outside the window was warm and bright, and the sea breeze blew in through the gaps in the French windows, carrying a mixture of seawater and flower scents.

On this remote island, far removed from the mortal world, the figures of two people overlapped in the sunlight.

May 19th was the day of the wedding rehearsal.

The interior decoration of the auditorium has been completed.

Neatly arranged white tables and chairs lined both sides of a passageway covered with a red carpet. At the end of the passageway was an archway made of white flowers, with roses, lilies, and baby's breath intertwined in layers.

Dozens of crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, but not all of them were turned on at the moment; only a few work lights emitted a faint white light.

Even in such lighting, the atmosphere inside the auditorium was breathtaking.

Genkawa Yu stood behind the archway, wearing a dark gray casual suit... he would wear the formal white suit until tomorrow.

He was holding a wedding schedule and confirming the final details with the staff.

Six girls stood at the entrance of the auditorium, looking at the scene before them, and each of them reacted differently.

Akane Kurokawa's eyes reddened.

She hadn't said a word since she walked into the auditorium.

The red carpet wasn't long, only about twenty meters, but for her, it represented a journey she had waited nearly five years for.

"Kurokawa-san?"

Asakura Toru noticed her unusual behavior and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Akane Kurokawa shook her head and wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.

"It's nothing, I'm just... so happy."

Mai Sakurajima stood beside her and gently took her hand in hers.

The two girls looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes—a complex feeling that was a mixture of gratitude and melancholy.

“Tomorrow,” Mai Sakurajima said softly, “we will become Yu-kun’s bride.”

"Ah."

Akane Kurokawa nodded.

Higuchi Enka and Asakura Toru stood together, both looking forward to tomorrow.

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned against the door frame of the auditorium, her arms crossed over her chest. Her expression seemed calm, but a closer look revealed that her lips were trembling slightly.

At first, she thought that her relationship with Genkawa Yu was too extravagant, but now this feeling had to be confirmed in the most solemn way.

Kato Megumi stood next to Genkawa Yu, holding a tablet computer, checking each item on the flowchart.

Her expression remained as calm as usual, but the slight upturn at the corners of her mouth betrayed her inner emotions.

She is very happy today.

The rehearsal lasted for nearly two hours. From the order of entry to the arrangement of positions, from the reading of the vows to the exchange of rings, every step was practiced two or three times.

Yuu Minakawa is very particular about details, and he doesn't want any flaws to appear at tomorrow's wedding.

It wasn't about saving face, but because these six girls deserved a perfect wedding.

By the time the rehearsal ended, it was already evening.

The setting sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the auditorium, bathing the entire space in a warm orange-red hue.

Six girls stood in front of the archway, the flowers behind them glowing softly in the sunset, like an oil painting with an overturned palette.

Yuan Chuanyu stood opposite them, looking at the scene before him, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

See you tomorrow, my girls.

All six girls laughed at the same time.

"See you tomorrow."

5 month 20 day.

At five o'clock in the morning, before it was fully light, the first ferry docked at the Blue Island pier.

Haruto Yamazaki stepped off the ship.

He wore a dark blue suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he was carrying a gift box containing a bottle of red wine that he had treasured for a long time, which he intended to give to Genkawa Yu as a wedding gift.

"It's been so long since I've been to such a secluded place." He stood on the dock, took a deep breath of the sea breeze, and muttered to himself, "The air here is so fresh."

Following him off the ship was Masashi Sato. He and Yu Genkawa were good friends when they were filming "Kamen Rider," and now that Yu Genkawa was getting married, he naturally couldn't be absent.

Sato Masashi was wearing a gray suit, with a gentle smile on his face, and was also carrying a gift in his hand.

"This is the island Genkawa-kun bought? That's quite an extravagant move!"

Sato Masashi looked around and sighed.

"This guy's boldness is really growing."

Next up is Masahiro Kazuto, the actor who became friends with Yu Genkawa in "Kamen Rider". Several years have passed, and they are no longer unknown figures in the entertainment industry; they are both well-known actors.

He was wearing a black suit, and was very tall, making him stand out in the crowd.

After the second boat docked, three people disembarked.

MEM was wearing a pink dress and started chattering excitedly about the scenery as soon as she stepped onto the dock, with Kengo Morimoto and Nobuyuki Kumano following behind her.

"This is truly an extraordinary place."

“I want to get married too,” MEM suddenly exclaimed.

"Hahaha."

As time went on, more and more guests arrived.

Besides Yuu Genkawa's friends, there were also several of the woman's relatives and friends, totaling about twenty guests.
