I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Sakura Ayane had no choice but to stay seated.

Ebizka Satoshi seemed to be very wary of her, so Sakura Ayane couldn't chat with others and could only sit alone waiting for the performance to begin.

After a few sounds of equipment debugging ended, Nana Toyama's voice came from the speakers. She ran out quickly from under the spotlight, exuding youthful vitality and passion.

Although she is already 24 years old, Nana Toyama still has a sweet girlish voice and energetic mental state, making it easy for people to mistake her for a 16-year-old girl.

As the opening song "Happy Crescent" sounded, Nana Toyama's petite figure danced confidently on the stage. The spotlight made her the focus, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Uehara Toru smiled and looked at it, then said to Nina who was sitting next to An and Subaru, "Watch carefully and learn well."

After hearing this, although Nina was a little unconvinced, her dissatisfaction was directed at Toru Uehara's attitude. She had no objection to her sister Nana Toyama, whom she liked very much.

"I get it. Humph, my performances are much better now than before, you just didn't go to see them."

An and Subaru acted as the atmosphere group, leading Toru Uehara and other audiences to wave glow sticks and cheer for Nana Toyama.

Nana Toyama fully released her passion on the stage and enjoyed the enthusiastic response from the audience. But today, because of the arrival of a special person, she felt a hint of an unusual atmosphere.

From time to time, she glanced at Toru Uehara who was waving his glow stick hard in the crowd. Thinking of the usually calm Uehara-san at this moment, Nana Toyama couldn't help but smile.

At a break in the song, she sang directly in the direction of Toru Uehara.

This scene stunned several girls and Sakura Ayane in the audience.

Uehara Toru didn't care about their reactions.

He liked the song, so he sang along with the melody.

Sakura Ayane, who was sitting a little further away, looked at this scene and her mood suddenly became a little complicated. She was no longer as happy as before.

Why do I feel like the concert has changed a bit?

Senior, do you like Nana’s songs so much?

Chapter 97 Chapter Buying a car, going for a ride, and saving a water bird (two in one)

At the recording site of "Sword Art Online 2", Toru Uehara witnessed how Matsuoka, under the guidance of the director, struggled to produce a voice close to neutral, and he couldn't help but sigh that dubbing is indeed not easy.

Especially the voice that is neither purely male nor purely female, this kind of tone that is neither male nor female is the most difficult to master.

However, Matsuoka really tried his best. Before the performance began, he shouted loudly in public, "Go all out", and then honestly tried different voices one after another as required until the supervisor nodded in satisfaction.

In comparison, Uehara Toru's task seemed much easier.

The character he voiced, Death Gun, didn't have too many requirements for the voice and tone, so he was basically left to do the voice-over as he pleased.

Because in the end, his voice will be post-processed and turned into the effect of a voice changer used by terrorists.

Therefore, he came to the scene of "Sword Art Online 2" this time mainly to make himself familiar to the public.

Even so, the number of voice actors on the scene was not large, only about five people.

In addition to Asuna's voice actors Haruka Tomatsu, Matsuoka, and Miyuki Sawashiro, there are also Toru Uehara and Natsuki Hanae, who are all voice actors for characters that will appear in the early stages of Sword Art Online 2.

Hanae Natsuki is also a master at dubbing male characters. After all, he was born with a clear and delicate voice. Just now, when Matsuoka was at a loss, he also gave some guidance.

After about two and a half hours of dubbing, the three brothers Uehara, Hanae and Matsuoka decided to go to see cars together in the afternoon. They heard that Uehara wanted to buy a car and Matsuoka was also interested in cars, so they decided to go together after work.

While riding the train, the three began to discuss which car brand was better. Uehara Toru's requirements were that the car should be a means of transportation, not look too bad, and have low fuel consumption.

Although he has heard that electric cars are very popular recently, they are not yet widely available in Japan, so he is not considering it for the time being.

Huajiang said, "My family bought a Honda XR-V, a small SUV, which is just right for our family of four. The space is quite spacious. Tetsu, when you buy a car, you should also consider the future passenger situation."

Matsuoka agreed, "Indeed, it would be better to buy a bigger car. It would also be more convenient to go out for a drive or camping."

Uehara Tetsu said, "It seems that I can't buy a car that big with my current budget."

Uehara Toru calculated the budget at hand. All his savings added up to about 2 million yen, and he had to set aside some money to ensure his daily life. Although he was looking forward to getting an extra 500,000 or 600,000 yen next time he got his salary, after all, that was still in the future.

Matsuoka and Hanae smiled and said, "It's nothing. We can lend it to you. Just remember to let us use your car when the time comes."

Toru Uehara was a little stunned after hearing this. He felt that borrowing money might affect the relationship between friends, but Hanae and Matsuoka didn't seem to care. They just smiled and didn't continue the topic.

Hanae is not only a popular voice actor, but also a very successful YouTuber. His personal channel is run very well, and sometimes his income even exceeds that of his main business, so he is quite well off.

Matsuoka lives alone. Apart from occasionally going out for a drink with friends, he doesn't have many other hobbies and his expenses are not high. Of course, he also counts his muscle training as a hobby.

Although Matsuoka did exercise, his frequency was not very high and he did not pay much attention to his diet, which caused him to gain a little weight.

The three of them got off the tram and discussed the issue of weight gain while walking.

Hanae Natsuki said with a smile: "Well...my wife has been scolding me a lot lately, asking me to eat less. But to be honest, this is all your fault, Toru. The vegetables you gave us last time were so delicious."

"And I couldn't just eat vegetables, I had to have meat too. As a result, I gained four or five kilograms."

Matsuoka agreed: "It's really delicious, my weight is..."

Seeing that both of them had such troubles, Uehara Toru smiled and said, "How about, after we buy the car, let's go find a place to exercise together?"

"Sports...it's not impossible, but I don't know much." Hanae Natsuki said, raising his glasses.

Matsuoka said, "Me too... I'm fine with muscle building."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll teach you two. If we get stressed, we can sweat it out together. It's much more effective than sitting at home."

To this day, Toru Uehara still maintains his exercise habit. Unless he is really busy working all day, he will find time to exercise and maintain his physical condition.

In addition to self-discipline, it is more of a kind of absolute relaxation of the brain and mind. During the half hour or one hour of exercise, you don’t have to think about anything, just feel the soreness and pain in your body, and the sweat that flows.

Exercise also produces a kind of dopamine. The longer people persist in feeling that pleasure, the more they will experience it.

Matsuoka and Hanae saw that Toru Uehara was rarely eager to share, so they smiled and agreed.

The main thing between these friends is to never spoil the fun.

-

The first place we came to was Honda's flagship store.

As soon as they entered the door, they were attracted by the many displayed vehicles in front of them. When the sales girl saw three customers coming in at the same time, her eyes lit up. She immediately came up to them with a smile and began to provide them with guidance services.

Toru Uehara briefly explained his needs for a car, and the saleswoman took him to a model that met his needs and began to introduce it in detail.

"If you are considering an SUV, we highly recommend the Honda UR-V. You can sit in it and feel the space inside..."

Toru Uehara got into the car, looked around, and thought that if he brought the members of the Thorn Group with him, it seemed that they could actually fit in if they squeezed together.

It was enough for taking Matsuoka, Hanae, Nobunaga and the others out for a ride. And the trunk was very large. Indeed, choosing a bigger car seemed to be more in line with his needs.

But the price... the starting price is 4 million yen...

Although the two seniors offered to lend him money, he couldn't really accept it shamelessly.

"Lets see."

Toru Uehara rarely experienced the embarrassment of not having enough money, and his desire for money increased.

He thought to himself that he should have saved more money instead of working for a period of time and then resting for a period of time.

After looking at four or five models in a row, Uehara Toru still hadn't made a decision. Hanae and Matsuoka noticed his hesitation and said to him, "Tetsu, just tell me which one you like. Don't take this little thing too seriously."

Matsuoka also patted his shoulder and gave him a smile.

Uehara Toru felt a little warm in his heart, and when he was about to respond, his cell phone rang suddenly. ~二8【. ∑．

"Sorry, I have to go out and answer a phone call." He gestured to his two friends and walked out the door.

Hanae and Matsuoka exchanged glances and started chatting: "By the way, Makoto-san, did you pass your driver's license test?"

"……not yet."

"Then I'll pay more and you pay less. After all, you can't use it for the time being. Although the car at home is enough, it is still a little short if you want to go camping. In this way, Che and I can buy a car together, and he should be able to accept it."

Matsuoka nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Toru Uehara, who was answering the phone outside, was stunned for a moment. It was Mrs. Uesaka on the other end of the line.

"Mr. Uehara, the paintings you had earlier have all been sold. The total remittance is 5 million yen. Please check to see if you have received the text message later."

"……How many?"

"My father sold it at an anonymous auction this time. Mr. Uehara, your skills are really high. When no one knew who the other person was, your paintings were considered to be the most valuable in that batch."

"I personally think it's a pity to waste your talent like this. So, if you are interested, we can introduce you to some banquets. At least this way can be opened up, and it will be more convenient for you to sell your paintings later."

"Once you have become famous in the circle, you can consider holding an art exhibition. You are fully capable of doing so."

Listening to Mrs. Uesaka's persuasion, Toru Uehara did not give much affirmative response, but he was clearly aware that he owed a big favor.

These five million yen also solved his current problem of insufficient funds, and if anything happened in the future, it would be better to have more money on hand.

"Thank you, Mrs. Uesaka. I will come to thank you some other day."

Once the network of relationships is established, there will be more interactions with the Uesaka family.

Now, regarding Sumire Uesaka...

You still have to reject the other person, but don't let it hurt too much.

After Toru Uehara put down his phone, his mood suddenly became weird.

……

When Toru Uehara returned to Matsuoka and Hanae, they had already agreed on the amount of money each would contribute.

As soon as Uehara Toru came back, he told them that he had money, which stunned the two of them.

Hanae looked at Uehara Toru seriously, especially at his handsome face, and said seriously: "Tru, that is to say, there is no need. It is better for you to borrow our money than to do...something temporarily."

Toru Uehara: "...?"

"No, Xia Shu, Senior Zhencheng, you misunderstood. It's just that... some of the income from my side job just happened to arrive, so the sum of money is just enough to buy it."

"What side job?"

Toru Uehara thought that this was not something that needed to be hidden from his friends, so he told them frankly.

For a moment, Matsuoka and Hanae were silent again. They had originally thought it was a heartwarming scene of seniors caring for the juniors, but now they felt like they were marrying above their station.

"Che, you are a little too good." They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

-

The car was finally bought. Since the funds were in place, Toru Uehara directly chose the Honda UR-V that he had previously favored. More than 5 million yen was just enough to buy a high-end version.

Seeing Toru Uehara swiping his card to pay so nonchalantly, and his already handsome and cool face, the sales girl's eyes seemed to be filled with love.

She desperately tried to sell her phone number, but Uehara Toru completely ignored her.

Matsuoka and Hanae stood behind him. They were both doing very well now. Hanae Natsuki was even regarded as a super winner in life by many of his peers, having achieved success in both love and career.

Matsuoka was once considered the male protagonist of the harem novels in the industry.

But now... the two of them looked at Toru Uehara's back and couldn't help but think, "I'm living a chicken feather in this situation."

……

Pick up the car, get in, drive, and take a ride.

He felt extremely happy as he had bought himself a big item and solved his future travel problem.

Although the three grown men planned to exercise, before that, they decided to enjoy the fun of driving first.

The music in the car started playing, and the music played was the music that Toru Uehara connected to through Bluetooth.

"Blue Coral Reef" - Seiko Matsuda.

Uehara Toru: "Ah~ my love~"

Huajiang: "It has gone far away with the south wind."

Uehara Toru and Hanae: "Ah, we're already there~"

The light turned red at that moment, and Toru Uehara and Hanae, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Matsuoka.

Matsuoka was stunned for a moment, then he also sang along: "Coral reefs blown by the breeze~"

"Nice! Sincerity-san!"

Hanae smiled and high-fived him.

On a sunny afternoon, three men bathed in the summer breeze, hummed a relaxing little song, and admired the scenery along the way. For them, happiness between men is so simple.

"But, Toru, I didn't expect you would still listen to such an old song."
