I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Episode 12.

As Chitoge and Raku Ichijo were finally ready to use the key to try to open the mysterious lock on the screen, Toru Uehara and Nana Toyama both became quiet at the same time, watching this tense moment intently.

When the key was inserted into the lock, Toyama Nana sighed softly with a hint of regret: "Although I have seen this scene when I was dubbing, but seeing it again, I still can't help but sigh at how malicious the teacher is. He deliberately stopped at this juncture, which makes people feel itchy."

She turned to Uehara Toru and asked, "Speaking of which, Uehara-kun, if you were like Ichijo Raku when you were a child and made such a promise with a girl... would you fulfill it?"

Nana Toyama thought she would get a cold negative answer from Toru Uehara, but his voice unexpectedly became soft, even with a hint of smile: "Whether it will be fulfilled is another matter, but if there was such a promise made when I was a child, I would definitely want to meet that person again. After all, childhood promises always sound so innocent and beautiful."

"What about you?" he asked Nana Toyama.

Nana Touyama was stunned for a moment, then replied softly: "My idea is the same as yours. I'll see whether I'll fulfill it or not, but at least I'd like to see you again. We were able to make such a promise together when we were young, and maybe we can become good friends when we meet again when we grow up."

"Yes, that's right." Toru Uehara agreed with a smile.

There was a hint of ambiguity in the atmosphere, and under the watchful eyes of the original author and supervisor, they completed the work.

Through the glass window, the author of Nisekoi, Naoshi Komi, observed the interaction between the two voice actors and secretly felt that this atmosphere was quite interesting.

zIt just so happens that the comics haven't entered the late stage yet, and the story has entered the middle stage where decisions need to be made.

h Just let Chitoge win. Anyway, among the female voice actors now, Toyama-san is the only one who is not married.

Ukomi Naoshi thought casually, and decided on the final winner of the pseudo-love in his heart.

A——

In the afternoon, the heat wave hit again, as if even the air was twisted by the heat, and everything around seemed to be slightly deformed under the scorching sun.

Although Toru Uehara doesn't tan easily, he's not a fool and won't expose himself to the sun unnecessarily, so he wears a hat to block the sun.

ＵRecently, he has been painting on and off, and has had several offline exchanges and guidance with professors.

However, in the end, Toru Uehara did not join any of the professors. If he did, the time they would have required him to devote to painting would have taken up half of his life. This was impossible, so he decided to take it slow at his own pace.

He plans to complete ten works by October and submit them to Musashino University for their on-campus art exhibition.

If everything goes well, he will truly step into that circle and be selected into the Painting Association for assessment and review.

Once he passes the test and attracts a certain amount of attention and discussion at the exhibition and accumulates a certain amount of popularity, he can basically become a recognized true painter.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, with no surprises, and things are steadily getting better.

0 The reason why Toru Uehara did this, besides wanting money, was also because... he had one more bargaining chip to use in his argument with his dad.

4. I’m really looking forward to the Chinese New Year.

Uehara Toru was planning to go home and rest for a while before continuing his painting work in the afternoon. When he turned on his mobile phone, he unexpectedly found that he had received more than a dozen messages from An and Subaru.

Since his phone is on silent mode while he works, he usually switches it back to vibrate mode when he is done.

At this moment, the phone began to buzz and vibrate violently, as if it was having a seizure, reminding him that he had unread messages.

４pleia（安和蘴）：Toru-nii, I feel something is wrong.

pleia: Rencai actually treated me to dinner today, can you believe it?

pleia: I need to investigate. There must be something fishy going on.

pleia: Oh no, Tetsu-kun, Nina actually treated me to the most expensive eel rice! !

pleia: She is definitely in big trouble.

pleia: She said she would stay at my house for a month.

pleia: One serving of eel rice can pay for a month's rent? Brother Che, don't you think this is outrageous?

……

Uehara Toru was browsing the messages sent by An and Subaru, while he was still smiling. An and Subaru's messages were full of thoughts and online complaints, which made him feel a little funny.

But when he saw the last few messages, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

[It seems that Niina's parents have come to Tokyo, Toru-nii. 】

[And I just took a peek at Renai's chat history, and it seems that her parents have also found where she usually goes! ]

[Brother Che, what should we do? Do you want me to help you beat her up? ]

Uehara Toru felt a headache, as if he saw the trouble coming. He replied: Don't do it, I will beat her up.

pleia：OK!

The food I cook is the most delicious: Is the eel rice delicious?

pleia: Not even one tenth as delicious as Che Ge’s.

The food I cook is the best: I’ll cook for you later.

pleia: Great!

After putting down his phone, Toru Uehara leaned against the wall and thought.

What should I do?

I did think about helping her deal with the issue of Renai's parents, but I didn't expect that they would come to me so soon.

Besides, haven’t you been studying hard recently?

What are you running for?

But it's true. She has always had a lot of conflicts with her parents, and I've been a little too nice to her recently. In comparison, she's probably become even more rebellious.

He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

Just as he was about to ask for Ueda Reina's opinion, Toyama Nana looked at him curiously: "Are you okay, Ueda-kun?"

Toru Uehara turned his head to look at the cutely dressed Nana Toyama and thought for a moment.

She is the person the child likes more, so maybe you can ask her opinion.

"Do you have work this afternoon?"

"Oh, no, but I have a date with a friend."

"Well, okay, let's have some fun." When Toru Uehara heard that others had appointments, he gave up immediately.

You can't let your own troubles affect other people's happy vacation.

Toru Uehara is the one who can empathize the most with the workers.

What if Ueda Reina is also not available, then I can only... No, Sakura Ayane is 100% unreliable, and Mizuno Inori... forget it.

Sumire herself is also a child.

and many more.

Mrs. Uesaka!

When Toru Uehara thought of this candidate, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Relying on Mrs. Uesaka's experience and ability to solve problems, Uehara Toru believed that she could definitely help him solve this difficult problem, although doing so might make him owe more favors.

However, considering that they already have a certain relationship, owing a little more favor doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Toru Uehara is about to start contacting Mrs. Uesaka.

Suddenly, a warm and soft little hand held him.

Toru Uehara was a little surprised, then turned to look at Nana Toyama beside him.

Nana Toyama said with a slightly unhappy tone: "Uehara-kun, why didn't you tell me when you encountered a problem? It's no big deal to postpone a date."

"Or, Uehara-kun, you don't consider me a friend?" Her words sounded a little serious.

Uehara Toru gently released Toyama Nana's hand and replied, "If it was a small matter, I would have told you a long time ago. But this matter is really complicated. I estimate that it may take a whole day to deal with it."

"Aren't you going on a date? Won't your boyfriend mind?" he added.

“???” Nana Toyama’s face immediately turned red, perhaps because of the strong sun outside.

"She's not my boyfriend! Uehara-kun, you misunderstood!" she hurriedly clarified.

"Although it's nominally a date, it's not really that kind of date!"

Uehara Toru: "...I know, don't worry."

"Uehara-kun is really stupid sometimes. Wait a minute, I'll call Haruka first." =? ∥

Nana Touyama once again took his hand and led him to the shade of a nearby tree, then began to communicate with her good friend Haruka Yamazaki: "Moshimoshi?"

"Well, it's like this, Haruka, I have some work issues here, so you can go get your hair done by yourself this afternoon."

Yamazaki Haruka: "You have a man and you forget your sisters?"

Nana Toyama: “soudayo.”

Yamazaki Haruka smiled when she heard Nana Touyama's straightforward answer: "Nana, you've become a jokester too. Fine, then I won't go either. Anyway, the discount won't expire for another three days."

"Then let's make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Toyama Nana's cheeks were still slightly flushed. She looked at Uehara Toru seriously and said, "Everything is arranged, Uehara-kun, now can you tell me what problems you have encountered?"

Uehara Toru nodded, motioned for her to walk away, and said, "Then let's get in the car first."

-

As the car's air conditioner sent out bursts of cool air, the two sat in the cool and comfortable car. While driving the car, Uehara Toru explained the current situation to Toyama Nana in detail.

Indeed, because Nana Toyama not only knew Nina, but was also the one who knew their band's affairs best among the female colleagues, it did not require too much trouble and explanation to explain the current predicament to her.

Nana Toyama stretched her legs, trying to find a more comfortable position in the car, while tapping her knees lightly with her hands and listening carefully to Toru Uehara's narration.

"In that case, it is very likely that Nina-chan's parents are in Kawasaki right now?"

Jiu "The truth will come out sooner or later. She will be found sooner or later, but compared to this, it is more important to resolve the estrangement and conflict between them." Toru Uehara put his hand on the steering wheel, tapping it lightly with one of his fingers.

Nana Shitoyama nodded, and she thought about her family situation. At first, her parents were also full of doubts about her becoming a voice actor, but when she was admitted to Waseda University, their attitude changed and they said they could support her. Now, if her career does not reach an absolute peak, she may face various demands from her parents again.

Nana Toyama shook her head, her eyes became determined, and decided to put her own affairs aside and concentrate on solving Nina's problem.

"Uehara-kun, I think that they may not come to find Nina to quarrel with her or take her back by force." Toyama Nana said softly.

Uehara Toru blinked: "How do you know?"

Nana Toyama continued: "I don't know, but I think that even if they have such thoughts at first, we can slowly change them."

"Since Rencai is unwilling to talk to them actively, let us act as the middleman," she suggested.

Lin Uehara Toru initially thought so, but there was still a problem.

"Then...what is the relationship between me and Nina? How do you explain this?" asked Toru Uehara.

This is the difficulty that really bothers him. He needs to find a suitable way to explain the relationship between them and Renai, which will not cause misunderstandings and can also make Renai's parents understand and accept it.

Nana Touyama spread her palms towards the sun. Her palms were slender and small. The sun shone through her fingers and sprinkled on her thighs, creating mottled light and shadows.

The car was silent for about a minute as Nana Toyama was lost in her own thoughts. Then, she seemed to have an idea, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Just say... he's the boss and investor of their band, how about that?"

"Investors... well, that makes sense." And Toru Uehara is indeed doing something similar now.

"Then... my identity is, your secretary."

"secretary?"

Nana Touyama nodded seriously: "In that case, we have to change clothes. Uehara-kun, can you take me to change into an OL uniform?"

“…Okay.” Toru Uehara took out his cell phone and searched Google Maps for the nearby women’s suit shops. For some reason, he felt that Nana Toyama was quite interesting.

But with her suggestion, Toru Uehara was able to slowly figure out how to deal with the situation next time.

And, how to beat Rencai afterwards.

-

Uehara's home.

Nana Touyama didn't waste any time, she knew it was not the time to go out shopping. She quickly picked out a set of well-fitting OL uniforms to wear, matched with black stockings, and tied her smooth hair into a simple single ponytail.

In this way, she looks like a female college student who has just graduated from college and is seriously working, full of youthful vitality and professionalism.

But his eyes are still relatively clear, and it's easy to deceive at first glance.

Uehara Tetsu asked, "Don't I need to change my clothes?"

His custom-made suit has already been bought and is at home.
