Crossover Anime: The Heroine's Savior in the Other World

"..."

You're really not going to say anything at all, and what's with that expectant look in your eyes?

Kitahara Sousuke was also a bit of a headache, but since the play had already gone this far, he was in a bind and could only rely on some scattered information from his past life and his appraisal skills to scare the other party in a haphazard way.

Hope it's useful.

"Aoyama-kun is...from Osaka?"

Kitahara Sosuke closed his eyes and muttered to himself, asking and answering his own questions.

"Uh-huh."

Sitting opposite her, Aoyama Nanami covered her mouth and nodded. It's already begun? Is this a conversation with a god? Or is it a review of her past?

"You used to have a Kansai accent, but you sealed it away in order to become a voice actor?"

Huh? This isn't exactly a secret.

"My best friend is... Eh, Torajiro? What a strange name... Oh, so he's a doll?"

Eh! Even Torajiro knows?! That's amazing, you got it right again. But Kitahara-kun's investigation seems a bit off-track.

Torajiro is a tiger-shaped body pillow that the girl bought a long time ago. She cherishes it and keeps it by her pillow. She uses it as a confidant for any secrets she can't share, or for happy or sad things.

"Hmm...height...158cm, weight...wait, I seem to have gained a little weight recently?"

Kitahara Sosuke deliberately frowned.

"No, I haven't gotten fat!"

Aoyama Nanami puffed out her cheeks and said coquettishly.

Kitahara Sousuke ignored the other person and continued to mutter, "Type O blood... measurements are... 81 58 83... Hmm, great."

Wait a minute, how can you even ask something like that? Aoyama Nanami blushed, covering her chest with her hands, staring at the other person with a mixture of embarrassment and shame.

They still won't surrender?

Kitahara Sousuke sighed inwardly. He could only let out a big bombshell. Don't blame me, I'm doing this for your own good. Keeping things bottled up inside and bearing them alone isn't a good habit, you have to correct it.

“Next, today’s half-moon color is…” Kitahara Sosuke frowned, “a yellow bear… and on it is… eh? A front-opening style?”

"Wait, wait!"

Aoyama Nanami jumped up, her face flushed, and leaped over the table, covering Kitahara Sousuke's mouth with both hands, glaring at him with a look of shame and indignation.

"No, don't say it anymore!"

The girl's movements were a bit too large, making quite a commotion and attracting the attention of other diners in the restaurant. Realizing what had happened, she quickly let go of his hand, smiled apologetically at those around her, and sat down, tugging at her skirt.

That's outrageous! What kind of weird ability is this? It's practically harassment!

On the other side, Kitahara Sosuke did not resist and let the girl cover him, enjoying the soft touch of the girl's palm on his lips, until the other party realized something was wrong and sat back in his seat.

"Still won't you tell me?"

Kitahara Sousuke opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Kitahara-kun, it's illegal to pry into other people's privacy!"

Aoyama Nanami puffed out her pink cheeks and glared angrily at the boy.

"There's nothing I can do. My skills aren't up to par yet, so I can only screen and eliminate possibilities bit by bit. If you don't want any strange secrets to be discovered, you'd better tell me on your own initiative."

Kitahara Sousuke said shamelessly, looking like he had Aoyama Nanami completely under his thumb.

"Humph……"

I don't believe it, what else could it be...?

"Okay, next up is... uh, the number of times I reward myself each week..."

Kitahara Sosuke closed his eyes again and began to mutter to himself softly. Hearing this, Aoyama, sitting beside him, jumped up again like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! Stop looking! I'll tell you..."

In her anxiety, the girl even uttered her adorable Kansai dialect.

Idiot, idiot, idiot! How can you even see something like this? What's the principle behind Kitahara-kun's ability? Does it only give you the answer, or can it also see your own... every single movement?

just in case……

This is extremely bad! Kitahara's abilities are just too abnormal. If he were to commit crimes, he would be the greatest threat to society. He should be eliminated immediately out of humanitarian concern!

"I've already said it, you, you're not allowed to look any further!"

Aoyama Nanami lowered her head, her face flushed as she fiddled with her fingers.

……

a long time.

Through Nanami's reluctant narration, Kitahara Sousuke finally learned the whole story.

So that's how it is. Although it's not the world of the anime I watched in my previous life, the poor Nanami's experiences have hardly changed.

In an already difficult living environment, rent became the last straw that broke the girl's back. In the original work, Nanami was forced to move to Sakura-sou, a gathering place for problem children, because she couldn't afford the rent. This time, it's the same reason.

However, there are no strange problem children in this world, and Shiina Mashiro doesn't seem to be from her own school. Moreover, Sakura Dormitory doesn't even exist. Poor Nanami is now renting the cheapest apartment, and she really has nowhere else to go.

Looking at the girl's somewhat haggard face, Kitahara Sosuke also felt troubled. It was already difficult enough to be a listener and let Aoyama pour out his troubles. If he wanted to go further and help Aoyama Nanami share his burdens...

Lending money to Nanami would most likely result in a refusal; saying something as straightforward as "I'll take care of you" would be even less likely. Such words would not only fail to earn Nanami's gratitude, but would only make the girl with the single ponytail in front of her feel insulted and disgusted.

It's really not an easy thing to help a girl as much as possible without hurting her self-esteem.

This isn't a criticism of Nanami's stubbornness; Kitahara Sosuke actually admires Aoyama Nanami's inherent strength and independence, but he also feels sorry for the girl who struggles against life and gets battered and bruised.

"Let's eat first, otherwise it'll get cold. There'll always be a way."

Kitahara Sousuke said that the set meal for the two of them had already been served while Nanami was telling the story.

"Ah."

Aoyama Nanami nodded obediently. She felt the comfort and concern in Kitahara Sousuke's tone and was very grateful to him. She did feel much better after confiding in him.

But... don't worry, Kitahara-kun, I'm not going to fall down so easily!

Chapter 170 Suitable to be a wife

Helping Aoyama Nanami is simple in theory; all you have to do is take over her burdens. But with a girl's independent personality, she'd only rely on someone like a boyfriend; any other kind of relationship is out of the question!

To be honest, Aoyama Nanami's personality is really suitable for marrying. She is independent, gentle and sensitive, occasionally a little proud, has a good temper, is serious about her work, and considerate and caring. When you encounter difficulties, she will face them with you and never leave you. Moreover, she has maximum wifely qualities.

Getting off topic, Kitahara Sosuke shook off those strange thoughts from his mind.

"Aoyama-kun's dream is to become a voice actor, right?"

Picking up the last piece of fried pork cutlet from his bowl, swallowing it with rice, Kitahara Sousuke suddenly looked up and asked.

"Eh? Um..."

Aoyama Nanami responded, then, thinking of Kitahara Sousuke's abilities, felt relieved and replied generously, "I do want to become a voice actor in the future."

After a pause, Nanami explained, "The initial opportunity was when I was in elementary school. My teacher praised my voice for being very nice when I read aloud in Chinese class, so I gradually became interested in voice acting."

But my parents... especially my dad, aren't very supportive. Actually, most of the money I earn from part-time jobs, including my last bonus, goes towards paying for voice acting training courses, so this time..."

There's nothing I can't say, especially since it's Kitahara-kun. There's nothing shameful or disgraceful about having a dream of becoming a voice actor, and all my money is earned cleanly through hard work. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Kitahara Sousuke nodded and said, "Actually, I'm currently planning to produce a visual novel game, and the team is still missing a voice actor."

"Hey, hey, Kitahara-kun is playing a game?!"

It's a lie! It's actually true!

Aoyama Nanami immediately understood what the other person meant. The girl covered her mouth, staring at the person in front of her in disbelief. Then, as if remembering something, she removed her hand from her lips and opened her right palm. The small intersection of the love line and the benefactor line was so inconspicuous, but the girl found it at a glance.

Is it really him...?

Kitahara Sosuke, oblivious to the girl's unusual behavior, continued talking to himself: "Aoyama-kun's dream is to become a voice actor, and I happen to be short of someone with that expertise, so I'd like to invite Aoyama-kun to help with voice acting. Don't worry, it's a normal hiring process, and there will be a salary."

"..."

"Um... Aoyama-kun, are you listening?"

Kitahara Sosuke looked at the girl with a puzzled expression.

"Ah, yes... um, by the way, is dating allowed in the team?"

Aoyama Nanami asked, still feeling dizzy.

"Ok?"

Kitahara Sosuke gave her a strange look. The girl's eyes were completely shaped like mosquito coils, and she didn't seem very awake, but he still patiently answered, "There don't seem to be any restrictions. Does Aoyama-san have a boy she likes?"

"Um, yes... Ah! No, no."

How strange! What was I just saying?! Why did I ask such a weird question? I just want to die!

Aoyama Nanami waved her hand, then suddenly slapped her cheeks hard twice. The pain quickly calmed her down: "Ah, I mean, although I've been taking voice acting training courses and practicing diligently in my spare time, I don't have any work experience, and I might be slowing down Kitahara-kun's progress..."

Kitahara Sousuke said, "It's okay. If it's Aoyama-kun, there won't be any problem. Besides, if you don't have work experience, you can accumulate it. How can you gain experience if you don't work?"

"Thank you, Kitahara-kun." Aoyama Nanami forced a smile, then pursed her lips, hesitatingly reminding him, "But voice acting for games requires professional recording equipment..."

Voice acting isn't something you can just do by chatting and singing on the street, nor is it something you can just do in a quiet room. You need at least a set of professional recording equipment.

She knew a bit about this. Kitahara was going to be making a game for sale, not just doing voice-over for online videos. A complete set of professional voice-over equipment would cost around 30 yen.

Aoyama Nanami was somewhat worried that Kitahara Sousuke was just full of enthusiasm and hadn't considered the practical issue of equipment costs. Besides, she herself was barely able to afford food, so she couldn't help him even if she wanted to.

Kitahara Sosuke carefully understood what the girl meant, smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, I can handle the money myself."

Although Airi had already squandered most of the small lottery winnings of ten or twenty thousand yen, he had already disguised himself and redeemed the previous grand prize of 500 million yen. It was in his savings account and had hardly been touched. Kitahara Sosuke planned to use this money as his start-up capital for life.

Kitahara Sousuke took out his phone, pulled up the original version of "White Album" that he had previously shown to his senior and Eriri, and sent it to Aoyama Nanami.

Unfortunately, the version that my senior re-edited only included the first volume of the prologue. Although it was much better than my own writing, it was still too short for the entire game.

"This is the game's script outline. You can take a look at it first, and when you have some free time, you can think about the character's appearance!"
