My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

The texture after frying is quite pleasant, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. Nanzi could even hear the caramelized layer hitting her teeth.

The unique texture of soybean powder combined with rice cake fills the mouth, creating an addictive feeling.

"Nanzi's expression is so happy."

At this moment, Lingxiang looked at Nanzi's happy expression and was extremely curious.

What kind of delicious food could make Nanzi make such an expression?

Even in Naoto's memory, Nanko only showed such an expression after eating the highest grade coffee jelly. Could it be that the taste of this dessert is even comparable to the top-grade coffee jelly?

Besides fried rice cakes made from soybean flour, Naoto also prepared a lot of snacks and dishes, such as sweet fermented rice soup with glutinous rice balls, which Naoto used to love, as well as various cold dishes.

When Naoto brought these things to Nanko's house, Nanko's mother was beaming with joy.

"Wow, Naoto-chan is amazing! All these things are so delicious, she's even better than me! I feel so happy thinking about Nanko-chan in the future."

The dishes that Naoto brought to the table had long since disappeared.

Even at this moment, Qi Mu's father was still openly and secretly fighting with Nanzi for the last bowl of fermented rice soup with glutinous rice balls.

It's clear that Naoto's cooking skills have been recognized by Nanzi's mother this time.

Regarding this matter, Zhi Ren could only say that it was worth it for him to work hard and learn from Master Liu for several weeks.

"Mom, why do you say that?"

"Waaaah, even though Nanzi-chan is so cold and doesn't have many friends, and even teases others from time to time, it's amazing that such a good child likes her. I'm so touched."

"Waaaaah, Daddy, I'm so touched too. It's so great that Nanzi has a straight guy who likes her."

Naoto watched as Nanko's parents fell ill without any surprise, and while looking at Nanko who was already at her breaking point, he even felt a little amused.

"By the way, it's almost seven o'clock now, right? Hmm, the anime is about to start airing."

Chapter 89: The Vampire Clan - Episode 1 Begins

After dinner, Naoto and Kusuko's family sat down in front of the TV to watch the first episode of "The Bloodline".

Although Saiki's father and Naoto had watched this show more than once, Naoto's heart was still pounding.

"Naoto, don't worry, have confidence in yourself."

At this moment, Nanko, sensing Naoto's extreme nervousness, tightly grasped Naoto's palm with her small hand.

Feeling the warmth of Nanko's hand, Naoto slowly exhaled from his chest, allowing his mind to calm down for a moment.

As the seven o'clock mark arrived precisely, the TV channel began broadcasting "The Vampire".

The anime series officially began as Liloie's youthful yet resolute profile appeared on the screen.

Of course, besides Naoto being very interested in this show, many people who care about Naoto are also watching the first episode of The Vampire.

For example, Nagumo Akira, who already considers Naoto his rival, Niizuma Eiji, who has always wanted to defeat Naoto, and everyone who participated in the training camp are all watching the broadcast of Vampire Clan on TV.

In terms of plot, with Naoto himself in charge, there will naturally be no out-of-character or non-conformist elements.

In addition, J.C. Staff performed consistently well this time, and with the participation of all the staff, the quality is among the top in all the new anime in January.

At least, there were no ridiculous things like poorly drawn artwork or PowerPoint presentations.

However, what caught everyone's attention even more was the surprisingly good voice acting for the female lead, Lilloe.

Enka Higuchi, this previously unknown idol, was somehow discovered by Naoto and his friends.

A good voice actor can bring a character to life; this is not just a simple statement.

Under Higuchi Enka's unique voice, the character Liloai seems to come alive.

Whether it's recounting her own story at the beginning or her haughty demeanor when facing the priest later, everything seems so fitting.

If you didn't know about Enka, it would be hard to imagine that this was her first time doing voice acting.

Before this, Higuchi Enka had never worked as a voice actress.

Makoto Kousaka, who voices Yoru, is also exceptionally talented.

The initial immaturity, the cowardice when bullied, and the final resoluteness in protecting her sister—the emotions that erupted were more prominent than those of Liloie.

Their excellent collaboration made the already high-quality work even better.

When they saw the elegant Liloie descend from the sky and eliminate all enemies with a queen-like demeanor, Naoto's friends were stunned for a long time.

At this moment, looking at Liloai and Yoru in the picture, Gao Shi had no idea where Naoto had found such a talented group of voice actors.

Makoto Kousaka is one thing, she used to be considered a top figure in the industry. Although people in the industry often say that she is an all-rounder and cannot be regarded as a normal voice actress, what's going on with the voice of Liloai? Did they just go to the vampire world and invite the real person to come?

It wasn't just straight people's friends who were puzzled; some industry insiders who were watching the first episode of The Strain were also shocked.

"Hey, do you guys know who's voiced the female lead this time?"

"I'm not sure, I heard he's a newcomer?"

"You can't really call her a newcomer. Strictly speaking, she's not even in the industry."

"How to say?"

"This person is actually an idol, not a full-time voice actor."

Seeing Enka's message, many people's thoughts became clear.

I plan to go back and inquire about it properly first.

After all, when it comes to poaching talent, the sooner the better.

However, whether they can actually persuade Higuchi Enka is still a question, after all, that producer is not someone to be trifled with.

When the final list of personnel was released, the professionals couldn't help but shake their heads.

The person in charge of original artwork and the scriptwriter all share the same name.

The thought that this person had just won the gold medal in the Youth Awards made everyone sigh, "This person is really not human!"

How can someone know a little bit about everything and be so good at it all? Master, please stop your amazing abilities!

Even after the first episode of The Strain finished airing, everyone was still eager for more.

Those who know the rest of the story are especially interested in how interesting things will unfold.

After all, although animation and comics both belong to the ACG field, they look completely different.

Especially when paired with that moving voice acting, it's like two completely different works.

When animation is exceptionally good, it can even elevate an already excellent manga storyline to an even higher level. Furthermore, animation is more capable of engaging the audience's emotions.

"Alright, it seems like we've got this in the bag this time."

At this moment, Qi Mu's father saw that the ending theme had started playing and casually picked up his phone to read the comments on the forum.

Unsurprisingly, the first episode did not result in a disastrous anime adaptation; everyone was quite satisfied with the anime adaptation.

Meanwhile, Naoto was also looking at the forum, observing the audience's reactions, and his inner tension began to ease.

[Wow, the voice acting for the female lead is absolutely amazing! I genuinely thought Lilo Ai had come to life! Guys, I'm already in love!]

[The animation is top-notch, especially the ending theme, which has a cheerful yet melancholic feel. It's said that both the ending and opening themes are sung by Makoto Kousaka and Enka Higuchi. That's truly impressive.]

[It's said that Higuchi Madoka is a professional idol; no wonder she's a professional, her singing is simply superb.]

[Ah! I really want to know where the story will get to this point! It's not just going to get to the point where the War Princess appears, is it?! I want to see Nightblade wreak havoc!]

[It's a pity there are only twelve episodes this time. Seriously, couldn't J.C. Staff just make it into 24 episodes?]

[24 episodes isn't enough, it needs at least half a year of running! Just finish it already! I really hope ONE-sensei can make a theatrical version; I really want to see what happens next in Yaren and Liloie's story!]

Meanwhile, Higuchi Madoka was inexplicably happy as she watched her Twitter followers grow steadily.

Originally, I was just an insignificant member of an idol group, but now I have suddenly become the member with the most fans.

All of this was finally achieved thanks to Zhi Ren.

At this moment, Enka recalled Naoto and Kusuko's figures and couldn't help but sigh, "These two are indeed very amazing."

Chapter 90: Invitation to Shueisha's Year-End Celebration

"Ugh, so boring."

Inside the stove at Saiki's house, Naoto and Kusuko were sitting in the room, idly looking at the comics in their hands.

Compared to Naoto's boredom, Nanko thoroughly enjoys everything she has now.

Wearing the ring blocked out all external noise, allowing her to watch all the movies and comics she had accumulated but hadn't seen before. Plus, her thoughtful boyfriend helped her get snacks and fruit. This was Nanzi's most leisurely day of the year.

Naoto watched as Nanko calmly and intently read the comic book in her hand, her lips twitching occasionally as she used her superpowers to put nearby snacks into her mouth, looking completely relaxed and carefree.

These past few days, my younger sister Lingxiang has been going out early in the morning to play with her friends, so I, Zhiren, have been bored and have been going to Nanzi's house to play.

This period has been the most leisurely time for straight people.

With the conclusion of "Bloodline," the manuscript for "Cooking Master Boy" had already been submitted to the editorial department long ago. The "Bloodline" anime received rave reviews, and its viewership ratings have reached the top spot among the January anime season.

For Naoto at the moment, there is nothing that can bother him.

However, once Naoto was truly free, he found it difficult to adapt to this leisure.

Thinking about how hard I've worked this past year, and how I can't relax after finally taking a break, I can only say that habit is a really scary thing.

Naoto, seeing that Nanako was still engrossed in her manga and ignoring him, secretly put his foot on Nanako's small foot, trying to get his girlfriend's attention.

Unfortunately, Nanko didn't react much to Naoto's little actions and remained engrossed in her manga.

Seeing his girlfriend being so disrespectful, Naoto directly placed his hand on Nanko's little feet, using the most terrifying form of torture in the world—tickling—in an attempt to make Nanko give up on comics.

When Naoto placed his hand on Nanko's bare feet, Nanko still didn't react at all, which made Naoto feel somewhat frustrated.

Does that mean Nanzi really won't give any reaction at all?

Seeing Naoto sighing and looking rather uninterested, Nanko had no choice but to put down the comic book in her hand.

My boyfriend is usually pretty good, but sometimes he acts like a child, which is exhausting. Is this what they mean when they say online that men are boys until they die?

"Okay, I know you're bored and feel like you have nothing to do, but you won't be bored for long."

"Huh? Why?"
