I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Now he and Mizuno Inori have a most normal relationship as colleagues, and Uehara Toru is almost forgetting the image of the previous irritable Mizuno.

-

The broadcast officially begins.

Hidaka Rina: "Alara, this radio show finally welcomes our hero - Lucien, Uehara-san!~~"

"And then there is our busy man, Qi-chan!~"

“It’s really difficult to bring you two together, so friends who are listening, you are blessed today~”

Toru Uehara listened to Rina Hidaka's smooth opening in her cute loli voice, exchanged glances with Mizuno Inori, and began to introduce himself.

Next came Mizuno Inori.

"Okay, okay, everyone will know you two even if you don't introduce yourself. But speaking of which, it's really hot today. Did you two put on sunscreen?"

"It's painted." This is Mizuno Inori.

"No paint." This is Toru Uehara.

"Hey, it's such a hot sun, Uehara-san, aren't you going to put on any makeup? Do you want me to lend you some?" asked Hidaka Rina in surprise.

Uehara Tetsu: "No, I don't really like it, and I generally don't get tanned."

When Mizuno Qi heard this, she couldn't help but feel envious.

She has put in a lot of effort and has filled her home with whitening devices and various skin care products to maintain her current skin condition.

“Wow…is this true? Uehara-san, how can you be whiter than me?” Hidaka Rina naturally put her hand next to Uehara Toru's hand.

At this time, she was sitting on the left of Toru Uehara, while Xiao Shui was sitting opposite her.

Toru Uehara didn't feel anything about Hidaka Rina's sudden approach.

Because this is someone else's girlfriend, the future wife.

With absolutely clear boundaries, Toru Uehara would also be casual.

Uehara Toru: “I was born like this.”

Hidaka Rina: "I'm so jealous. Ah, Qi-chan, come and compete too. Put your hand over here."

Mizuno Inori was stunned for a moment, she noticed that Hidaka Rina was desperately winking at her, as if hinting at something. But Mizuno Inori just looked at her not particularly white arm, feeling a little helpless.

She has been working outdoors too much lately, and it is almost impossible to avoid getting sunburned. Although sunscreen can provide some protection, it is not a panacea after all. If you want to avoid getting sunburned, you either have to stay at home all day and avoid the sun; or you have to cover yourself up from head to toe.

There seems to be no better way than this.

After thinking it over again and again, Mizuno Qi refused the comparison.

Hidaka Rina looked at her and shook her head, speechless for a moment.

"..."

"Okay, then we're going to move on to the letter reading part."

"Please, help me! Lord Lucien!" Xiaoshui and Hidaka's cute voices overlapped.

Hidaka Rina: "Originally, this session was about helping me, Ayako-sama, but you all know that Ayako can't distinguish between reality and fiction, so the suggestions she made always felt a little off. Now that we have two more mature people here, I'll leave the rest of the Q&A session to you."

Uehara Toru: "Then I'll go first?"

Hidaka Rina: "Sure."

Uehara Toru glanced at the letter: "Respectfully, Ako, Akane, and Lord Uehara...0"¨

"Why am I the only one with a real name?"

Hidaka Rina chuckled: "Maybe it's because your image is more prominent than the protagonist of our anime?"

Mizuno Qi nodded, she agreed with this.

Hidaka Rina caught a glimpse of her best friend listening there foolishly, and it looked like she had no intention of taking any initiative to do anything, and she felt anxious for her.

No matter what the occasion, please interact more. If you can't even interact, it's difficult for netizens to pair you up!

How stupid!

Hidaka Rina now feels a bit disappointed with herself.

Although Xiaoshui can handle ordinary social matters perfectly, she always handles them poorly when it comes to her own private matters.

Uehara Tetsu continued reading the letter: "I'm facing a big problem right now. I've recently become addicted to an online game, and I met a very good female friend on it who is always willing to play with me. Every time I go online to play a dungeon, she will be waiting for me there in advance. When I die fighting a boss, she will die with me. As long as I'm playing, she will always be online."

Hidaka Rina: "Hmm~ It sounds so romantic, and it also matches our anime story~"

Mizuno Inori: "It feels a bit like it was made up..."

Uehara Toru smiled softly after hearing what Mizuno Inori said, and continued to read the manuscript in his hand: "But recently, I found that she was a little strange. The frequency of her going online suddenly dropped. Then when I saw her last week, I asked her what was going on. She told me that an elderly person in her family was sick. She is now doing farm work in Hokkaido, and her family owes a large sum of money..."

Hidaka Rina said sympathetically: "What a good friend! My ears are broken..."

Mizuno Inori asked with a hint of doubt: "Is the next part going to be asking if you want to buy some potatoes or something?"

Uehara Toru looked up at Mizuno Inori and confirmed, "You are right."

Mizuno Inori and Uehara Toru looked at each other. Although they were a little nervous, they tried to stay calm.

Hidaka Rina was still a little confused: "What's going on? I don't understand it yet, Uehara-san, please finish reading it!"

After reading the rest of the content with a smile, Toru Uehara found that it was exactly as Mizuno Inori said.

Hidaka Rina suddenly felt strange: "So what's going on?"

"It's a scam, a long-term plan to catch a big fish. This listener probably sympathized with the other party and bought a large amount of unknown vegetables. Although he may have received the goods, the price he received was definitely not in line with the price quoted by the other party."

Mizuno Qi supported her face with her hands and said softly, "There are too many fake things in the Internet world. The netizen who was chatting with you very well one second may scold you in another group the next second, or even take screenshots of all the chat records with you and stab you in the back... This kind of thing is quite common."

Hidaka Rina looked at Mizuno Inori, her face full of worry: "Inori-chan..."

Uehara Toru looked at her with interest and smiled slightly.

After Mizuno Qi came back to her senses, she quickly explained: "Of course, I'm not saying that I've encountered such a thing. It's just a friend's experience. Don't take it too seriously."

"In short, although anime is beautiful, reality is reality. When we make judgments, it is better to base them on reality. Then... next one."

Mizuno Qi realized that she seemed to have deviated a little from the image she had previously established. Her previous personality was supposed to be someone who always looked at others with kindness...

It’s bad, it’s bad. Although I want to change, it’s in the way I interact with my friends, not my business skills!

Cold sweat began to break out on Mizuno Inori's forehead.

Toru Uehara observed the various reactions of the girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh again.

She really is tired of living.

She is more like someone walking on a tightrope than herself.

Then, the next letter told a more beautiful story, which roughly meant that the two people met because of the game, and finally got to know each other and walked into the palace of marriage. They didn’t come to consult about any troubles, they just came to post dog food.

This is the most orthodox and successful case of online dating.

Even Hidaka Rina was a little impressed: "Then I wish this friend all the best, and I wish you a smooth wedding and a more harmonious relationship."

"How about this, Qi-chan, regarding this person's story..."

Mizuno Qi stopped talking, she was also a little envious.

Hidaka Rina: "But speaking of which, if it were you two, would you be able to accept online dating with netizens?"

When Mizuno Qi heard this, her ears pricked up instantly.

Although she just mentioned a lot of disadvantages of online communication, for her, it is a main battlefield.

If things don't go well in reality, it might be a good idea to open up a gap in the relationship with Toru Uehara through online chatting, and then slowly turn it into reality.

However, Toru Uehara's response was cold.

"I'm too busy in real life, let alone chatting online. I really don't have time. I still prefer to meet and communicate with friends in real life."

Hidaka Rina: "So, online dating is absolutely impossible for you?"

"Ah."

Hearing Uehara Toru's decisive answer, Mizuno Inori's heart felt a little cold. In this air-conditioned environment, she felt that her temperature was one degree lower than that of ordinary people.

"Okay, so the above is today's 2th session, Help me, Lucian-sama!~"＿′４'

Finally, we have the usual promotional session and this episode ends here.

Everyone, call it a day.

-

Mizuno Inori watched Uehara Toru getting up and leaving, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She pursed her lips and prepared to watch him leave silently.

However, Hidaka Rina couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she slapped Mizuno Inori on the back and called out to Uehara Toru with a smile, "Uehara-san, Inori-chan has something to tell you, please wait a moment."

Toru Uehara turned around with a puzzled expression and looked at Mizuno Inori.

Mizuno Inori slowly came back to her senses, she blinked and felt a burning pain in her back.

Rina was really trying hard just now...

She mustered up her courage, took a step forward, looked up at Uehara Toru, and said, "Uehara-san, can we have dinner together later?"

"……Can."

-

Toru Uehara was originally planning to have lunch, so it wouldn't be impossible for him to take Mizuno Inori along.

However, the main reason for agreeing to her was that Toru Uehara felt that Mizuno Inori was much more likable now than before.

It's not like before when nine out of ten were pretending, and the remaining one was real and hidden very deeply.

If you think about it carefully, it's no wonder that Sakura said before that such disguise is disgusting. It is true that when you really understand the hidden side of a person, when you know the true face behind a person, then seeing her disguise on the surface, you will feel strange and uncomfortable.

"What do you want to eat?" Toru Uehara looked at a list of stores on his phone. Recently, they were all fast food and it seemed like there was nothing delicious.

"Eh? I...I'm okay with anything." Mizuno Kisaki didn't expect Uehara Toru to really agree. This surprised her a little, and she suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Don't you have any particular favorite food? I remember thinking it was delicious."

"In my memory……"

Mizuno Inori fell into deep thought: "Chinese cuisine... ramen with dumplings or something like that?"

“……” Uehara Toru was silent.

What a classic pairing of carbs with carbs. Although I have eaten this way in my previous life, it was mostly porridge with steamed buns and the like, which is fundamentally different from ramen with dumplings.

Both of them are very greasy, and the taste will only get worse when combined together.

However, I will just go along with other people's wishes this time and make some dumplings for myself when I get home in the evening.

Toru Uehara gradually learned to compromise on certain things and no longer put himself at the center of everything.

He and Mizuno Inori were originally two extremes, but now they are slowly changing towards a relatively balanced direction.

Mizuno Inori was a little flattered to hear that Uehara Toru was willing to accommodate her taste, and she quickly said, "Well, Uehara-san, you can pick whatever you like to eat, it doesn't matter to me."

Uehara Toru: "Why not just have your favorite ramen and gyoza set? There's one nearby."

"By the way, has your anorexia improved recently?"

Mizuno Qi answered honestly: "It's fine... but sometimes my stomach feels very uncomfortable and painful, and I have to take painkillers."

Uehara Toru frowned: "Irregular diet, and your stomach may not be in good condition now..."

Mizuno Qi nodded: "It's indeed not very good..."

"Is it caused by stress?"

"You seem to be running around for a lot of work recently. I heard from my agent that you are now responsible for the performance of the entire firm and are already the top star now."

Mizuno Qi pursed her lips. She didn't feel too happy when she heard the title of "top star". She used to pursue absolute success in her career, but now she feels differently.

At a certain stage, she could no longer do whatever she wanted, but someone was pushing her from behind, even forcing her, leaving her no room to stop and breathe.

Even, when you are so busy with work, you may forget why you entered this industry in the first place. Is it because you like it, or because you want money and fame?

Mizuno Qi herself felt a little confused.

She really wanted an outlet, that's why she was so obsessed with Uehara Toru, but now she slowly realized that she couldn't treat people as outlets, but had to treat them as friends to have the possibility of continued development.

However, she really didn't understand or know what her friend should do.
