Anime rating game

That's not too strange, really.

Her voice is very distinctive, and she has a great image; she has everything to become a popular idol.

Moreover, it's hard to say whether the Sanzenin family was behind it.

Compared to themselves, the Sanzenin family values ​​the anime Toradora! more. Since they can't promote Shiko, promoting their daughter is a good alternative.

After a moment's thought, Masamune dialed the number of Sanzenin Nagi.

"Good morning, Nagi."

"No, impromptu tests are completely unnecessary. Isn't one exam a year enough?"

"If I remember correctly, your exam results weren't bad, were they?"

"It's not bad, but I've been too busy these days and haven't had the energy to read. By the way, the break between classes is almost over. What did you want to talk to me about?"

"The TV station wants to conduct a personal interview with you and asked me to help them ask."

“No, I hate interviews. Of course, if you insist that I go, it’s not impossible, but I have one condition.”

Masamune wanted to say, "This is the request from the TV station, what does it have to do with me?"

But after hesitating for a moment, he still asked:

"what?"

"Three days."

"What three days?"

"Be my housekeeper for three days."

"Are you asking me to run errands for you? It'll take a day at most."

"make a deal."

loss.

Masamune paused, realizing he had spoken too hastily and should have firmly refused.

"When I say 'a day,' I mean a full day, not 24 hours."

"You're stingy! But it's alright. Hehe... I need to think carefully about what I'll ask you to do so I can make up for all the hard work you've done these past few days."

"Don't go too far, or I might change my mind."

"Hmph... Just wait and see. As for the timing, how about this weekend? I have classes these two days, and I have dubbing on Saturday, so I really don't have time."

Chapter 407 Suddenly, his defenses crumbled.

Two days later, a personal interview program hosted by Nagi Sanzenin officially premiered on television, the internet, and other platforms.

[Ms. Sanzenin, what were your feelings when you first did voice acting for an anime?]

"It's alright, it feels like opening the door to a new world. Wait...? Could this be a live stream?"

[No, this is a pre-recorded video; we will edit it later.]

"That's good. Go ahead and ask."

Why did Ms. Sanzenin choose the path of voice acting? Was it out of love, or, like most people, for a reward from heaven?

"Hmm... Can I be honest here? Part of it is for the reward, and part of it is because I like it."

However, I used to just enjoy watching anime, and I wasn't really that interested in voice actors.

When watching anime, I always keep the voice actors and the characters very separate. Voice actors are voice actors, and characters are characters; they are completely different things.

Even now that I'm a voice actor, I still hold the same view. I ask viewers in front of the television not to confuse me with the characters I portray.

As far as I know, Musashino is currently producing an anime called Hayate the Combat Butler this season, in which Ms. Sanzenin is the female protagonist, and her background, appearance, figure, and personality are all exactly the same.

Once Hayate the Combat Butler airs, I think it will be very difficult for anyone to completely separate the voice actor from the character, right?

"There are many differences! Although I and my counterpart in the animation have many similarities, we are undoubtedly two different people."

For example, I'm a bit taller than her, hmph... unlike in the animation, my height has actually grown quite a bit.

Besides, I'm not as love-struck as she was; it's so foolish of me to be captivated by a kidnapper I'd only met once.

To say that I was that kind of person would be truly unacceptable.

...

...

[Both our television station and Musashino Productions have received many letters related to Ms. Sanzenin. Could you please pick out a few letters and read them aloud?]

"Sure. Let me see. I was hoping to hold a handshake event for Sanzenin Nagi. Impossible. I'm not an idol who does that kind of thing. Voice actors are behind-the-scenes workers. Handshake events? Don't even think about it. Absolutely impossible."

"Next, I hope Sanzenin Nagi will have more works. I really like your voice. Thank you. I hate working, but if there are good roles in the future, I can try them out. But expecting me to be a workaholic like other voice actors is just impossible! Don't even think about it."

"Next, I hope I get scolded by Sanzenin Nagi. Is that perverted? There are so many perverts these days, that some people actually like being scolded."

At noon, Shiko Sanzenin lay on her bed at home, watching her daughter reading letters on television, a smile on her face.

When we lived together normally, I didn't really notice anything, but when I saw Nagi on TV, I always felt that she was unexpectedly super cute.

Moreover, judging from the smile on her face, she actually enjoys these kinds of things.

"Nagi is so cute, hehe... I really want to go out and play with her."

……

Meanwhile, Masamune also arrived in Fuyuki City with his entourage.

Emiya's residence is a Japanese-style mansion, exactly the same as the one in the anime.

Actually, the Emiya family didn't originally live here; their house was a detached house.

However, after the anime aired, the patriarch of the Fujimura family voluntarily sold the place to Kiritsugu Emiya at a low price.

After that, the Emiya family moved here.

Because they had collaborated on two seasons, and because he had just returned to Fuyuki City from Tokyo just two days prior while doing voice acting for "On the Eve of Fate," the Emiya family, knowing that Masamune and his entourage were coming to visit, tidied up the living room and courtyard early in the morning and made preparations in advance.

"Mr. Kiritsugu, I apologize for disturbing you today."

"Not at all, we are the ones who have been taken care of all along. Actually, you could have just told us over the phone. If you had notified us two days in advance, we probably wouldn't have come back."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Kiritsugu Emiya got straight to the point:

"Will this anime series continue next season? But in terms of plot, there's not much to see after World War IV and V. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any World War VI or VII."

"That's not the case. This time it's a story set in a parallel world, and the setting is very different from the previous two. I hope you are mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, I'm already mentally prepared."

In the game Holy Grail War IV, he portrayed himself as a dark and cruel villain, and many of his colleagues, friends, and neighbors looked at him strangely and were wary of him.

Even this kind of thing, I silently accepted in my heart.

Today, Kiritsugu Emiya believes his mental fortitude has greatly improved.

As he took the script and lowered his head, a strong sense of doubt arose in his heart, and he subconsciously looked at Ilya beside him.

Magical girl? Illya... how exactly did these two words come together?

They seem completely unrelated.

As he continued flipping through the pages, the familiar yet ambiguous character designs captivated Kiritsugu Emiya.

Is Illya Shirou's sister? This setting is a bit strange, but considering their daily interactions, it seems to make sense.

Miyu, whose origins are shrouded in mystery, is another girl named Chloe, separated from Illya, also known as Kuro, the other side of Illya.

As he flipped to the very end, Kiritsugu Emiya fell into deep thought.

In the first two installments, Ilya's life was incredibly difficult, burdened with far too much pressure.

In this magical girl anime, it's probably because he and his wife did something that everyone survived.

Alice is still alive, and although Ilya is several years younger out of nowhere, she is living a very happy life.

Previously, the reason why I did not refuse the adaptation of the first two anime series into a screen was not only because I had no choice but to accept it, but also because the offer was too much and the evaluation rewards were too tempting, and it was also for the sake of Illya.

Because of his short stature and few friends, this child's personality is not very cheerful. He behaves well in front of relatives and friends, but he changes as soon as he goes out.

Although it sounds a bit harsh, happiness comes from comparison.

"Does Miyu really exist?" Illya suddenly asked, looking at Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya with hopeful eyes.

At this moment, both of them were somewhat at a loss.

Ilya doesn't have many friends, so it's understandable that she has some expectations.

Furthermore, in the anime's setting, Miyu, as the younger sister of Shirou Emiya from a parallel world, can essentially be considered another Illya.

[If it were Miyu, we would definitely become very good friends.]

That's definitely what Ilya was thinking.

However, the two of them did not know Miyu and had never met her before.

“Miyu does exist.” Masamune nodded slightly and handed over the detective’s investigation report.

As an important second female lead in Magical Girl Illya, she is naturally also included in the investigation.

However, compared to Ilya, a legal loli who graduated from high school last year and is now a freshman in college, Miyu is just a middle school student. She is a bit taller than the character is in the show, but she is still not out of the loli category.

Slowly turning the page, Ilya saw the name, age, and school, and couldn't help but sigh.

"How come Miyu is only in the first year of junior high school? Hey... It's March now. In April, I'll be a sophomore in college, and she'll only be a second-year junior high student."

The age difference is too great; even if they wanted to become friends, it would be unlikely.

"Huh...? Chloe actually exists!"

“Yes.” Masamune nodded slightly. “According to our investigation, Chloe is a distant relative of the Einzbern family. Her parents died early, and she lives with her uncle. I have already sent someone to Germany to complete the adoption procedures.”

"No, that's not it. Chloe looks exactly like me, is the same height, just a little darker-skinned, so why is she the same age as Miyu?"

At this moment, Ilya inexplicably broke down.

In this situation, wouldn't I feel like I've fallen behind?
