I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

However, she was seriously discussing the knowledge in this area, and even began to popularize science to Uehara Toru. Many little secrets of girls that he had never heard of were also poured out by her.

Toru Uehara didn't understand what Sakura Ayane was planning, he just felt her words lingering in his ears, which seemed a bit noisy.

Inside the car, the only sounds left were the slight roar of the engine, the rustling of the wind outside the window, and Sakura Ayane's endless and unabashed scientific explanations.

Sakura Ayane poured out all the complaints and thoughts in her heart. After she finished complaining, she unexpectedly felt a sense of relief and relaxation.

I didn’t expect that I could discuss these topics with my senior, which I usually only discuss with my same-sex friends, even though he didn’t seem to be really listening.

However, this indirectly confirms her previous argument.

When talking about these embarrassing things, I was able to remain calm in front of him, which is enough to prove that I don’t like him!

After coming to this conclusion, Sakura Ayane's mood completely calmed down, and her thoughts returned to their former clarity and rationality.

After returning the van to the vegetable store owner, Sakura Ayane followed Uehara Toru to his house.

Her mind kept imagining what his home would be like. A small suite seemed more reasonable?

His living space must be in great order. Toru Uehara gives people the impression that he has a mild mysophobia and must pay special attention to his living environment.

Maybe in some secret corner, such as under the bed, the little uncle is hiding?

Speaking of which, Sakura Ayane always felt that Uehara Toru was unusually cold when it came to relationships between men and women. Compared to those aggressive carnivorous men, he was more like the gentle and unhurried herbivorous man.

In her mind, all kinds of strange ideas emerged one after another, and when she came to her senses, she found herself standing in front of the gate of a luxurious villa. This villa not only has a well-maintained courtyard and garden, but also a spacious outdoor space. Its scale and area are definitely one of the best in the surrounding area.

Sakura Ayane looked at the mansion in front of her, wondering why he was standing still at the door.

"senior?"

"Where else are you going? This is my home."

"Eh?!"

After following Toru Uehara into the iron gate, Sakura Ayane was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.

"So, senior, you are actually a rich young man, and you became a voice actor just to experience life?" she asked half-jokingly.

Uehara Toru opened the door and said calmly, "No, I just wanted to make my living environment more comfortable, so I rented here."

"No wonder you spend so much time trying out various professions... I see." Sakura Ayane seemed to understand something.

"Did you hear what I said?" Uehara Toru asked.

"I heard you, Master~" Sakura Ayane replied with a hint of teasing in her tone.

No wonder I can get along so well with him, it seems that matching economic strength is also a very important factor.

As for his explanation, Sakura Ayane didn't quite believe it.

What kind of good person would spend all the money he earns on renting a house?

Shortly after entering the door, Toru Uehara immediately heard the lively sounds coming from the living room.

"Nina, please move!"

"Don't worry, I'm operating it, 486, don't scare me on purpose!"

"Nina's hands are too clumsy, there's nothing I can do."

"How can I be stupid! I can even play the music now!"

The sounds of conversation and laughter of several girls in the room immediately caught Sakura Ayane's ears, but Uehara Toru seemed calm and composed, with even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

What's happening here?

"My niece and her band mates, you guys can meet them later," he explained.

"Oh, my niece." Sakura Ayane nodded, and after changing her shoes, the two of them appeared in front of the five members of the Thornless Band.

As soon as An and Subaru saw them coming in, they subconsciously put down the game controllers in their hands, as if they were a little surprised by their arrival. However, Renai was completely immersed in the game, her fingers dancing quickly on the controller.

On the screen, the character she controlled had just knocked her opponent into the air with a precise rising dragon punch, and then she was about to end the battle with a series of gorgeous combos. Nina was completely focused on the game and seemed to be completely unaware of the movement around her.

"Ninai, Ninai."

"What? You start making trouble just because you can't beat me, right?" Nina thought to herself, I won't be fooled. An Hesuba has been using this trick recently. When she doesn't want to study, An Hesuba will mention Uehara Toru.

For example, "Brother Che will be here soon."

"Brother Che is watching you." or something like that.

At first, Nina was really fooled, but now no matter what An and Subaru say, she will not believe it easily, because it must be fake anyway.

"Nina!" An He Subaru turned her face away. Furious, Nina was about to scold An He Subaru for playing tricks, but when she turned around, she saw Uehara Toru and the pretty short-haired girl standing next to him.

Ok?

Who is this woman?

Sakura Ayane gave a polite smile: "Hello...senpai, who is your niece?"

Uehara Toru smiled softly, gave a wink to Rupa and Momoka, and said, "You can guess it yourself, but there is no prize even if you guess it right."

"Stay for dinner later, and I'll give you your box of vegetables after dinner."

"Oh, huh?" Sakura Ayane was a little surprised.

Rupa and Momoka exchanged a look, then smiled and nodded at Sakura Ayane, then walked over to chat with Uehara Toru.

These two people looked like they were reporting to their superiors, like typical subordinates.

Although Sakura Ayane felt a little awkward at first, she quickly adjusted herself and used her natural social skills to walk up to Nina, Yasuwa Subaru, and Ebizuka Satoshi and observed them carefully.

Then, with a smile on her face, she made her own judgment and said to An and Subaru, "You are the niece of the senior, right? You are so cute, and you do look a bit like the senior from certain angles."

"Eh?" An Hesuba was stunned for a moment, then he covered his mouth and laughed: "Yeah... indeed!"

Renai looked a little unhappy when she saw that Sakura Ayane had recognized the wrong person: "I am his niece, okay."

This is a small agreement between Nina and Uehara Toru. After all, there will always be all kinds of friends visiting Uehara Toru's house in the future.

When introducing someone to outsiders, simply calling her your niece will indeed save a lot of unnecessary explanations and trouble.

"You?" Sakura Ayane looked at Nina's reddish-brown hair and blue eyes with a hint of surprise. Although Nina was indeed very cute, her childish face and facial features made it difficult to find similarities with Uehara Toru.

Nina felt a little displeased when she heard Sakura Ayane's question.

Nina didn't have a good impression of Sakura Ayane. She preferred those who were cute and gentle like Nana. Sakura Ayane's slightly frivolous temperament was not her type.

In Renai's eyes, Sakura Ayane always reminds her of those girls in high school who always gathered together to chat and attracted attention. They always became the focus in the class and always spoke with an uncomfortable tone.

It must be said that Nina's intuition was quite accurate, and her views on people were almost exactly the same as Uehara Toru's.

It was as if they both shared the same radar for reading people's minds.

Sakura Ayane seemed to have sensed Nina's implicit hostility towards her, and she herself loved dealing with such children.

"I'm sorry, this is the first time we meet, and he didn't tell me clearly who is who. By the way, my name is Sakura Ayane, you can call me Sakura Sister or Ayane Sister."

Sakura Ayane thought that if she could establish good relationships with these little sisters, it might help her practice how to deal with Mizuno Inori as an older sister.

"You are so self-acquainted, who wants to call you sister?"

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Sister Ayane, her name is Jing Qin Renna, and I am An He Subaru. Thank you for your guidance~" An He Subaru was obviously much more cheerful and generous. She never cared about these details and tried to be as friendly as possible.

"An He Subaru, this name sounds familiar."

Sakura Ayane thought for a while, but couldn't remember anything, so she smiled and gave up asking: "Subaru-chan, Nina-chan, thank you for your guidance. And..."

Ebizuka Satoshi just glanced at her calmly and then said his name.

"Xiaozhi, your names are all very cute."

Sakura Ayane sat on the sofa, looked at Nina with a chuckle and said, "Nina-chan, how about we play a game? If I win, you can call me Sister Ayane, how about that?"

Renai glared at her seriously and snorted, "What if you lose?"

"I lost... I don't know, it's up to you to do what you want."

At this time, Ebizuka Satoshi behind him said, "If you lose, help us clean the music room."

"Yes, yes, clean the music room."

Toru Uehara required them to clean the entire music room thoroughly after using it every time, check the condition of the room, and take photos to provide feedback.

Although it’s pretty fast if everyone cleans together, it’s good to save a lot of trouble, and it’s just the right amount as a bet.

"Music room?"

Senior, you even set up a music room in your own home?

Sakura Ayane's interest grew stronger and stronger. She always felt that Toru Uehara was hiding many secrets.

So, Sakura Ayane started playing a game with Nina, and An and Subaru acted as fair referees as usual.

Ebizuka Satoshi looked at it for a few seconds, felt bored, and walked towards the open kitchen. After a few steps, she heard the conversation between the three people over there.

"Have you already received an offer from an agency?"

"Well, a lady named Miura found us and said she really liked our music and thought it could be big."

"What do you think, Uehara-san?" Momoka asked.

Rupa also expressed her trust in Toru Uehara, and said that now that the band is able to get back on track smoothly, it can be said that Toru Uehara has made a lot of efforts.

Uehara Toru pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think it's reliable?"

Rupa said, "Momoka and I have checked it out, and it is indeed a well-known company. Ms. Miura said that if you are free someday, you can go to the company headquarters to check it out."

Uehara Tetsu: "Well, then you should investigate first and then make a decision. However, you only have about 7,000 fans now. Will you lose money if you release an album with this volume?"

Tao Xiang was silent for a while, then said, "We have set up a fan group. Those who join should be die-hard fans, but there are only about 500 people. The purchasing power... is really hard to confirm. After all, we are still active in the livehouse and have only participated in one music festival."

Rupa added: "But the tickets usually sell out, probably within twelve hours of going on sale, so there are still some potential fans."

Uehara Toru smiled and nodded: "That's great. If that's the case, then I suggest you continue to participate in the music festival. It just so happens that a very interesting project has been launched recently."

"Could it be BangDream?" Taoxiang blinked and asked.

Uehara Toru showed a surprised expression: "You...high-intensity surfing, Momoka."

Taoxiang was a little embarrassed: "Well, I do check it quite a lot. It has become a habit."

rupa: "What's the plan?"

Uehara Tetsu: "A band composed of all female voice actors has its own fan base, so you can refer to their schedules and go to whichever music festival they attend. It would be best if you could stand on the same stage with them. The best outcome is that you might be recruited. The worst outcome is that you can attract some traffic and then convert it into your fans."

"After deciding on this direction, all that's left is to practice hard and write more nice new songs, and then there will be no problem."

"I see. Thank you, Uehara-san." Momoka nodded seriously.

Rupa also smiled and said, "As expected of Uehara-san, he always gives us the most appropriate advice."

Uehara Toru waved his hand: "It's nothing, after all, it all depends on your own efforts. By the way, Renai told me before that she also participated in some of the lyrics and music of your songs now, is it true?"

Rupa and Momoka smiled at each other, and Momoka explained, "Well, there are one or two songs like that. It's mainly to cater to Satoshi's preferences, and to maximize Nina's strengths."

"Nina's advantage is that she can pronounce words very clearly whether she is speaking or singing, and her speaking speed can be very fast, as accurate as a robot."

“And long, complex lyrics can express more emotions, and in this regard, we felt it would be a shame not to utilize Nina’s talent.”

"On the other hand, Xiaozhi has always wanted to find a lead singer who can sing such long and difficult lyrics, because the songs she and Rupa-san wrote are also of this type."

"Of course, there are only one or two songs that are the characteristics of our band, but for the other songs we will consider what you said before, Uehara-san, that they are catchy, popular, and pleasant to the ear."

When Taoxiang said this, her eyes revealed determination.

“Although our current goal is to develop into a professional band, I still think we should keep some of the things we really like, which is the original intention of playing in the band. Commercialization is okay, but there must be something we want to express in it.”

“I will not compromise on this.”

After hearing what Momoka said, Uehara Toru couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't ask you to change it, don't get excited."

"Very good, you understand and do very well now, just keep working hard in the direction you want."

Taoxiang was stunned. She was prepared to be criticized because she was indeed a little naive sometimes. Although she was more mature than before, she sometimes still made some impulsive judgments due to her emotions.

Fortunately, the band’s situation has improved significantly now, and it is no longer in a confused stage like the previous Diamond Dust.

Only then did she suppress her inner anxiety.

Rupa also smiled and said, "Momoka-san, I told you that you think too much. Uehara-san wouldn't even say this to you."

"Really..." Taoxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
