"The tuition fees from home have never stopped; they are sent over at a fixed time every year."

"However, they never sent me any living expenses, nor did they ask me if I needed money. Maybe they wanted to force me to give up."

“In my first year of high school, we often argued on the phone. After that, I would not contact my family first, and my family would not contact me first either. We only called two or three times a year.”

Seeing that the screenwriter, Mai-chan, was taking notes, Aoyama Nanami fell silent.

Speaking of which, I'm an important supporting character in "Pure White," so those things should be included in the production, right?

I wonder what my father felt when he saw me in the animation?

"Ms. Nanami, when you received your first lead role, did you consider calling home to report the situation?"

"No." Aoyama Nanami shook her head slightly. "My family isn't interested in anime, so they probably don't watch it at all."

"Moreover, sound is not as intuitive as visuals, and most people don't pay attention to the credits."

"Even if they see the animation, they probably won't recognize my voice."

The screenwriter, Mairou, took notes while asking questions.

Soon, six pages were filled.

"Ms. Nanami, that's about it for today. One last question."

"If someone were to visit your home in Musashino's name, would you be willing to accompany them?"

"Huh...?" Aoyama Nanami exclaimed in surprise, quickly realizing what was happening and forcing herself to calm down. "My family members are going to appear in the anime too?"

"Yes. The beginning of a work must echo the ending."

Maitake stopped writing, hesitated, and said:

"I'm sorry, what I'm about to say might take your opinion into consideration, so please don't take it to heart."

"It's alright." Aoyama Nanami shook her head repeatedly.

"If we remove the other characters and focus solely on Nanami Aoyama, at the beginning of the story, she comes to Tokyo alone to pursue her dreams of becoming a voice actress, despite her family's objections. Therefore, at the end, she must reconcile with her family."

Aoyama Nanami seemed to be deep in thought, as if that were indeed the case.

She could think of many reasons, such as: to avoid setting a bad example for children, to prevent them from running away from home for their dreams like she did, and getting themselves all hurt.

“I understand. I...I have no problem, I'm willing to go home with you.”

I wonder what his father would feel if he knew he had actually become a voice actor?

“Maki, may I ask about my main storyline in the anime? In reality, I don’t have much interaction with Ms. Mashiro and the president. Would it feel a bit disjointed if I appeared in the anime?”

"We have discussed this with the president and decided to do some re-creation."

Maitake paused for a moment, then explained:

"For example, after Shiina came to Musashino, in order to draw better manga, she followed the president's advice and decided to carry out a human observation project together."

"I ran into you by chance and then secretly followed you for a while."

"Shiina only did simple profiling and observation, while the president secretly hired a private investigator to investigate your information in great detail."

"After that, Wujingjun came to ask for help and decided to establish a voice actor agency."

"It just so happened that I suddenly thought of you, so I decided to guide you to submit your resume."

"As a result, quite a few things overlapped."

Aoyama Nanami seemed lost in thought, realizing that so much had happened two years ago.

? ?

The next moment, she suddenly realized.

"Wait a minute, shouldn't I have joined Musashino earlier than Ms. Mashiro? I was the one who asked Mr. Sengoku for the president's contact information back then."

"Art originates from reality, but it is not copied verbatim."

"It turns out to be a fake."

Aoyama Nanami breathed a sigh of relief. The truth and the falsehood were mixed together, making it really hard to tell. She almost thought her memory was wrong.

"What happens next?"

"That's all for the main plot in the early part. In the first half of the story, Aoyama Nanami's bitter experiences contrast with the lighthearted atmosphere on Shiina's side."

As for the unrequited love and "loser" character setting in the latter half, Mai-Giantsun didn't elaborate because it still needs further refinement.

“That’s too much…”

Aoyama Nanami muttered something under his breath.

Only one face was shown inside the white box. In the current pure white environment, even though I am a supporting character, this is just too much, isn't it?

They are simply using their own hardships and suffering to entertain the public.

But ultimately, that's just what voice acting is all about.

In addition to voice acting, they also have to wear cosplay costumes and perform on stage to entertain the public.

"I understand. Maizo, when are we going to Osaka?"

"The specific timing still needs to be discussed with the president to see if he has any other arrangements. Also, the current season's Ryuo is set in Osaka, so if the Ryuo production team needs anything, we might be able to go together."

"clear."

Chapter 318 Now that things have come to this, can I still object?

A few days later, around 3 p.m., in Osaka.

Standing in front of his own door, Aoyama Qihai hesitated, feeling a bit apprehensive about returning home.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Musashino organization, she would never have gone home at this time.

"Watanabe-san, this... is my home."

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Nanami."

Watanabe Jun nodded slightly, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Aoyama Nanami, she was overjoyed, but she remained calm and composed.

"Nanami, welcome home. And everyone here, you've all come a long way, please come in."

"excuse me!"

After entering and sitting down in the reception room, Watanabe Hayato immediately introduced himself and his companions and explained their purpose for being there.

"I'm very sorry to bother you. I'm Watanabe Hayato, the on-site producer at Musashino Animation, and this is Maitake, the screenwriter."

"Because another anime this season is also set in Osaka, the president and the others went to the Shogi Association and will visit later."

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter." The middle-aged woman also introduced herself, bowed, and said with a smile, "My husband heard that Qi Hai was coming back today and kept asking me about the time. He said he was going to wait at the intersection, but he missed her."

"Huh...?" Watanabe Hayato asked instinctively, "In that case, should we call and ask?"

"No need. It's just one intersection. He must have seen it already. He's just too embarrassed to stop the car, and he's not sure if it's Nanami in the car. He'll come back on his own in a little while."

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"How is Nanami doing in Tokyo? Is she working hard?"

"Ms. Nanami is very dedicated to her work and is highly trusted by everyone."

As he spoke, Watanabe Jun opened the briefcase he had been carrying, took out the items he had prepared in advance, and placed them one by one on the table.

"These are several anime Blu-rays featuring Ms. Nanami as the female lead. Ms. Nanami's roles are marked on the discs."

"This is an animation script that we will be producing next season, and Ms. Nanami has a lot of screen time in it."

"Unlike voice acting, this animation is adapted from true stories and requires people to show their faces, even though they are in two-dimensional characters."

"Therefore, after the anime airs, the characters will be associated with the real person."

Based on true events?

Nanami's mother was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

"So, this anime tells the story of Nanami's personal experiences? Exactly the same as reality?"

“No, there are still some differences,” Maizo interjected. “It’s probably about 70% reality, plus 30% fiction?”

Just then, the front door of the Qingshan family's house suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man walked in.

"You've arrived. Sorry, I just went out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Nanami's mother immediately laughed, quickly got up and walked to his side, explaining in a low voice.

"Ahem...did you already say it? In front of the child?"

"Can't you tell me?"

"...never mind."

Nanami's parents sat down opposite each other at the coffee table.

"I'm so sorry, Nanami. I'm so sorry she must have caused me a lot of trouble."

"No, Ms. Nanami is a hard worker and is trusted by everyone."

Watanabe Hayato reintroduced the CDs and scripts on the table, saying once again:

"If possible, please take a look at the script first, so that you can have a basic understanding of Ms. Nanami's life in Tokyo."

"After that, it became easier for us to make negotiations."

"Isn't there 30% fictional content?" Nanami's mother asked subconsciously.

"We didn't fabricate Ms. Nanami's daily life in the script; this part is the same as reality."

"Alright, let's finish watching it first."

Nanami's father was the first to pick up the script and begin to read it in front of everyone.

"excuse me."

Nanami's mother lowered her head slightly and had no choice but to pick up the script as well.

As Aoyama Nanami appeared in the story, the two became completely engrossed in watching.
