I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Thinking about it now, it’s really kind of funny.

What you say and what you actually do are never the same.

So Toru Uehara is just a little resentful, but he will definitely not be vague about major issues, and his relationship with his parents will not really become bad.

On the contrary, it is Nina's side...

Forget it, he'll help her solve it when he's free.

After eating the watermelon, Uehara Toru stood up and began to sketch with a pencil on the drawing paper. He needed to make a draft first, and then fill in the details with oil paint. This painting might take a long time to finish because he wanted every detail to be perfect.

After Renna finished a large piece of watermelon, she felt that she had not eaten enough. She looked at An and Subaru and asked, "Anything else? I want to eat more."

An Hesuba replied: "You can't eat any more. Eat it after dinner at night. Eating too much at one time will easily cause stomachache."

Nina grumbled in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything else. Instead, she turned around with An and Subaru to look at Uehara Toru, who was concentrating on painting. She thought for a moment and stood up.

An and Subaru thought she was going to cause trouble, but to their surprise, Nina just returned to the chair she was sitting in, hugged the back of the chair with both hands, rested her chin on the top of the chair, and watched Uehara Toru painting with great interest.

She smiled, took out her cell phone, and took a photo of Toru Uehara.

An He Subaru wanted to remind her not to disturb Uehara Toru, but once Uehara Toru entered a state of extreme concentration, a little noise from the outside world could not disturb him at all. This was a process of complete self-immersion, and it was difficult for external interference to break this atmosphere of concentration.

An He Subaru walked over to Renai, looked at the two photos she had just secretly taken, and whispered, "Send me a copy later."

“…You can’t take pictures yourself.” said Nina.

"I wouldn't be as rude as you." An Hesuba replied.

"What did you say?!" Renai's voice suddenly became louder.

At this time, Uehara Toru stopped writing and looked at them. The two girls suddenly became nervous, thinking they were going to be scolded, but Uehara Toru just smiled and said, "Subaru, come here, I'll teach you how to help me mix the colors. I'm going to use a lot of colors later, so I need you to help me prepare them in advance."

An Hesuba immediately stood up straight and nodded seriously, almost saluting and shouting "here".

Si Rencai also stood up and asked, "What about me? Do I have any mission?"

"Just sit still, you can't help." said Toru Uehara.

"..."

"I'll ask you to evaluate my painting later, that's it." Toru Uehara had a bad attitude at first, but then he added a nice word, and now Nina had no objection.

In the following time, Uehara Toru carefully taught Subaru how to mix colors and what to pay attention to when painting. He really intended to train Subaru to be his assistant. After all, there were many things to do at home, and if Subaru could help, he would be much more relaxed.

And if Subaru has any problems, he will do his best to help, which can be regarded as a mutually beneficial assistance between brothers and sisters.

An Hemai is indeed very smart. She is very sensitive to interpersonal relationships and has a strong learning ability.

Sometimes, Toru Uehara even wanted to suggest that she consider going to university, but after thinking it over again and again, he finally did not make this suggestion.

After all, even he himself did not choose to go to college, and An Hesuba's life now is already fulfilling and happy, and he does not want to add extra pressure to her.

This kind of advice may be too heavy for others, and he himself is not qualified to impose tasks on others.

For Nina, the situation is different, because she already has goals and plans in this regard, so Toru Uehara encourages her.

Although some random thoughts occasionally flashed through Toru Uehara's mind, his attention was mainly focused on the drawing paper, and he devoted all his energy to the creation.

Uehara Toru's technique is deft, accurate and steady. Each stroke is smooth and even, and the colors gradually spread across the canvas. His painting process is like the heroes in martial arts novels performing light steps and floating on water, so calm and free.

The brush in his hand seemed to be endowed with life, making the originally blank drawing paper gradually become vivid and beautiful.

Renai was sitting in the back, and she began to doze off because she was sleepy. She accidentally hit her chin and cried out in pain. She looked up and saw a magnificent picture.

The painting is full of stars, colorful and romantic. On the ground is a golden rice field. Although the color is relatively simple, there is a tiny figure standing in the middle of the rice field, looking up at the starry sky.

This is a simple scene, but Uehara Toru carefully enriched the details with multiple layers of ink. He did not simply pile up techniques, but created selectively and focused. Every layer of color and every light and shadow has been carefully considered, making the whole painting rich in layers and harmonious and unified.

At around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, An Hesuba, who was standing by, felt that she was a little exhausted. Standing and coloring was not very tiring, but seeing how focused Uehara Toru was, she couldn't help but get nervous, worried that there was something wrong with her coloring.

Uehara Tetsu looked at the painting that was almost finished, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, I'll stop here today. I can finish the rest in the evening."

"What do you want to eat? Let's go out for dinner?" he suggested.

Rencai leaned on the back of the chair and asked listlessly, "Are you done with the painting?"

"Almost." Uehara Toru replied.

"I can eat anything," said Niina.

Uehara Toru suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Why don't we go eat Kobe beef?"

"Beef... is fine too." Renai's eyes lit up slightly.

Speaking of which, she still misses it a little, because recently everyone can make money through the band, although not much, but it is not a problem to maintain life. So Rupa, Xiaozhi and Nina decided not to work at Yoshinoya anymore, so as to focus more on the band and study.

I haven't had Yoshinoya's work lunch, beef rice, for a long time.

An Hemai felt her shoulders were sore. She yawned, stretched and said, "In that case, I know a good store, but it's a bit far from here."

Uehara Toru put away his pen and smiled, "It's okay, I have a car now."

They simply cleaned up the house, packed the watermelons, and gave them to Momoka and Rupa. Now that Momoka's roommate has moved out, Xiaozhi and Rupa decided to move in with Momoka to facilitate work discussions.

Renai went to knock on the door with a big bag of watermelons. After a while, Xiaozhi, who was applying a facial mask, opened the door and looked at her with a puzzled look.

Rencai chuckled and said, "Remember to eat all the watermelons I sent you today!"

"Bye! Toru and I are going to eat Kobe beef~" Nina said happily.

Xiaozhi: "?"

In the evening, after sending Nina, An and Subaru home respectively, Toru Uehara continued to devote himself to his painting creation.

The night sky provided him with a perfect reference, so he moved his easel to the courtyard4 and continued his creation while enjoying the evening breeze.

It was not until the next morning, when the clouds on the horizon were gradually dyed golden by the rising sun, that Toru Uehara, who had worked hard all night and only drank two or three cups of coffee intermittently to refresh himself, finally completed his work. He looked at the painting and smiled.

"That's pretty much it."

At this time, there are still two days before attending the party at Sumire Uesaka's house.

However, Toru Uehara, who worked all night, had no time to rest because he still had work to do. Today's task was not too heavy, he only needed to record two radio programs.

One is a program with Saori Hayami, and the other is a program with Ms. Sakura.

The recording of the show with Saori Hayami was very relaxing. The two simply chatted about some common interests and hobbies, and they didn't care whether the audience could understand their conversation.

For fans who like to ship CPs, the interaction between the two groups of people makes them feel a little subtle. Although Toru Uehara and Saori Hayami can talk about everything, the atmosphere is too peaceful and there are not many emotional fluctuations. It is more like a communication between a sister and a brother.

After finishing his first broadcasting job, Toru Uehara felt a little dizzy, but fortunately he had been sucking on a cool mint candy, so he didn't really fall asleep.

After Hayami Saori came out, she asked him with concern, "Tetsu-kun, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I did some work last night."

"Working?"

"That's it."

"By the way, Hayami-san, do you know where there are some good suit shops in Tokyo?" Toru Uehara felt that a well-educated young lady like Hayami Saori should know.

Hayami Saori thought for a moment and said, "As for suits, my father has had them custom-made. Are you in a hurry?"

"I should buy a set after my work this afternoon. I will need to wear it for an occasion in the next 8 days." n-

"Actually, it's better to have a custom-made suit... Well, I'll ask my other friends and send it to you on Line later."

"Okay, thank you for seeing you early."

"You're welcome. By the way, Tetsu-kun, those vegetables you gave me last time were really delicious. My mother kept praising them."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "It only happens once a year. The next time will be next year. Please look forward to it."

In the afternoon, Uehara Toru was going to record a radio program with Miss Sakura. Before that, he went to the recording studio, sat on a chair, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

Sleepiness came over me like a tide.

He had always maintained a good schedule, and suddenly staying up all night made him feel a little tired.

So he entered a short deep sleep state. Usually, when people sleep, only a quarter of the time is deep sleep, and the rest of the time is light sleep. But when you are extremely sleepy, you may also enter a deep sleep state, even if it is only a few minutes or even tens of seconds.

This is exactly what happened to Toru Uehara now.

"I should be the first to arrive this time, right?" Miss Sakura pushed open the door and saw Toru Uehara sleeping against the wall with his head tilted to one side.

Miss Ying was stunned: "Senior?"

no respond.

She approached him quietly, bent down slightly, and stopped in front of him.

"Senior!~"

Still no response.

Miss Sakura showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she took out a cartoon character sticker from her bag. This was the peripheral that the company recently gave her, and it was the fur ball in "Order a Rabbit" - Kafu Chino's grandfather.

She gently unfolded the sticker and put it on the side of Uehara Toru's face. Then she couldn't help but burst out laughing and covered her mouth with her hand.

When Uehara Toru woke up, he found Miss Sakura sitting on the chair opposite him, smiling at him.

"Good afternoon, senior."

"Yeah." Toru Uehara felt much more energetic after taking a short nap.

At this time, the supervisor and scriptwriter finally arrived.

The broadcasting work officially began.

Today, Toru Uehara was indeed at an energy low. Facing Sakura Ayane's provocation, he was unable to fight back. He just wanted to finish his work as soon as possible, buy a suit, and then go home and have a good sleep.

However, it was quite effective for the show that Sakura Ayane livened up the atmosphere on her own. She seemed unusually excited today and kept laughing.

After an hour of recording, even in energy-saving mode, the supervisor did not point out any problems with Uehara Toru. Their radio program has been firmly ranked in the top two of the charts, and has a group of core listeners, so there is no risk of being cut short.

So, they can conduct the program however they want, and the more relaxed and natural they are, the better the effect.

After the work was finished, Sakura Ayane immediately stepped forward and called out to Uehara Toru.

"Are you going straight home later?"

"No, I'm planning on buying a suit."

Toru Uehara's eyelids drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes and melancholy expression made him look particularly charming.

But in reality, he was just tired and wanted to sleep.

Sakura Ayane looked at him, her cheeks slightly red.

"Suits? Are you going to a wedding?"

"It's a banquet. Don't ask so many questions. I don't have time to talk to you today."

"Hehe, Senior, I drove here today, do you want me to go with you?"

"You can also drive?" Uehara Toru looked skeptical.

"I took my driver's license test right after I turned 18, and I passed it on the first try!"

"...Okay, then take me to this place." Toru Uehara handed the phone directly to Sakura Ayane and yawned.

"Where's your car?" Seeing that he trusted her so much, Sakura Ayane even handed her her cell phone.

Aren't you afraid that I'll take a peek at your photos?

But I'm not that kind of person.

Sakura Ayane took out her car keys and said to him, "I'm parked in the parking lot across the street. I need to cross the street."

"But, Senior, what's the situation with your banquet? Does it need to be so formal?"

"The people I know might be a bit of a big shot."

"Big name?"

Uehara Toru narrowed his eyes: "I don't know either, I'm just guessing, but if you dress up properly, maybe you can leave a good impression on others."

"Senior, are you really okay? How long have you not slept?" Sakura Ayane was a little worried about him and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes.

Uehara Toru: "It's just one night."

"You have so many things to do?"
