I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Uehara Toru was a little surprised at her skilled knife skills and the way she handled the anglerfish, and praised: "Very good, Reina."

"Really?" Ueda Reina said with a smile, "I learned all of this from online videos, Tetsu-kun, look carefully at this technique."

"I have seen it, but I thought the techniques were too fancy at the time, so I didn't learn it..." Uehara Toru replied.

The two chatted while cooking, and the atmosphere was natural and harmonious.

Not far away, An, Subaru, and Nina secretly observed them and sighed.

"This is the first time I've seen Brother Toru act like this. I'm a little frustrated." An He Subaru originally thought that he was the most caring little cotton-padded jacket, but he didn't expect that there would be someone more powerful.

Renai also felt helpless: "This person is too powerful. I don't know if she did it on purpose, but Toru completely changed in front of her."

"Sister Nana is going to lose." An and Subaru said.

Nina nodded: "Yes, I still support Nana-nee."

An He Subaru looked at her in surprise, "You don't look like the pitiful puppy you did before."

Rencai frowned, "What do you mean by pitiful puppy?"

"It's the kind of feeling that you're being abandoned. Wasn't that what you felt like the last time you met Ms. Uesaka Sumire?"

"... Humph, it's different now." After this period of time, Nina has become convinced that the relationship between her and Uehara Toru cannot be destroyed by just anyone.

Therefore, with a sense of security and a better relationship with her family, Rencai will no longer be as sensitive as before, like someone who may explode at any time.

An He Subaru could probably understand Nina's feelings, and she herself was now immersed in this family-like atmosphere.

Her family was happy, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time. She felt that Uehara Toru was like a family member to her, but more than that.

However, An and Subaru were not in the mood to delve into these complicated emotions right now, and could only put these thoughts aside for the time being.

While the two were chatting, Toru Uehara had already started grilling the eel.

Reina Ueda was cutting vegetables and preparing ingredients, then adding water and salt to keep the anglerfish fresh for the time being.

It's not time to eat it yet.

After finishing all this, Ueda Reina looked at Uehara Toru's focused and handsome profile and said, "Tetsu-kun, I've made up my mind. I'll take Li Yi back to my hometown during the New Year and follow your advice."

"Really? That's good." Uehara Toru replied.

"In my hometown, in addition to delicious food, there are many interesting places, such as the Northern Alps and Toyama Bay, which is suitable for diving. Going there in this season is just right for summer heat relief." Rena Ueda naturally expressed her nostalgia for her hometown.

Uehara Tetsuya also missed his hometown. He smiled and said: "There are not many things to do in my hometown, but I like the environment there. Maybe it's because of the time that I have fond memories. Now when I think back to some scenes from my youth, I feel particularly nostalgic."

"When you were young?" Ueda Reina approached him, smelling the aroma of grilled eel and smiling, "You are still young now."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "That was puberty. I was very different back then than I am now."

"I'm a little curious." said Rena Ueda.

Uehara Toru recalled: "If I had to say something, it would be... more boring than now? Or more boring?"

Thinking of Takahashi Rie's evaluation of himself, Toru Uehara felt that it was quite accurate.

Ueda Reina smiled and said, "I'm a boring person too, it's okay."

The two found common ground by talking about their hometowns, but neither touched on a deeper relationship until the eels were almost done.

Er Ueda Reina took the initiative to suggest: "If there is a chance in the future, Tetsu-kun, how about we go to each other's hometowns to play?"

At this time, Toru Uehara was concentrating on grilling the fish. After brushing a layer of sauce on it, he replied, "Okay."

"It's just that, if there is a chance... it's a bit difficult right now," he added.

Ueda Reina looked at the shiny, brightly colored grilled eel and said with a smile, "There will always be a chance."

……

3. The rice was ready, but they did not eat it immediately. Instead, they carefully packed the eel rice and waited for the runner to pick it up. After confirming the address was correct, they began to enjoy their own portion.

The list of friends who will receive eel rice this time includes: Mrs. Uesaka, Sumire Uesaka, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Tomokazu Sugita, Rie Takahashi, as well as Momoka, Rupa, and Satoshi.

As for why Mizuno Inori and Sakura Ayane are not on the list, it is because they are both eating out at the moment.

4. What’s interesting is that when they received the message from Toru Uehara, they both found excuses to leave the table, one went to the bathroom and the other went outside the restaurant.

This made the restaurant waiter very nervous, thinking that they were going to run away from paying the bill. But after replying to the message, they returned to their seats and acted as if nothing had happened.

Sakura Ayane continues to carry out Ueda Rena's previous plan to influence Mizuno Inori with love. Mizuno Inori also tries to use Sakura Ayane as a target to gradually adjust her mentality.

This resulted in the two of them still pretending, but at least they were closer than before.

And Sakura Ayane did it too.

She did the thing she hated to do the most, which was like a boomerang.

It's hard to say whether this is progress for both of them or another form of regression.

If An and Subaru, who just witnessed Ueda Reina's natural performance, were asked to evaluate these two, they would probably only be able to say: it's a mess.

-

The next morning, in order to prepare for the comic convention, Nina, An and Subaru stayed at Toru Uehara's house last night.

At six in the morning, they had to get up and start putting on makeup and changing clothes. An He Subaru was going to cosplay Akiyama Mio from K-ON!, a role that was almost her true self - she was also a beautiful girl with long black hair and wearing a JK uniform, but An He Subaru could not play the bass, only the drums.

The character that Nina wanted to cosplay was a bit challenging - Silica from Sword Art Online. She was not familiar with the two-dimensional culture and had only watched the animation recommended by Toru Uehara a few times. Therefore, the cosplay costumes and other things were prepared by An and Subaru for her.

The wig was easy to deal with, but the clothes were a problem for her. Renai looked at herself in the mirror, at her baggy clothes, and said unhappily, "What is this? Can I stop cosplaying?"

"That won't do. Then what's the point of you going to the comic convention?" An Hesuba retorted. 』/≈5

"To promote our band?" Nina replied.

Now the agency is helping them contact the next performance venue. If the deal is reached, it will no longer be an ordinary vehouse, but a formal venue where tickets can be purchased online.

At present, it is still unknown whether their fans can monetize. They originally wanted to make some peripherals to sell, but this plan was rejected by Uehara Toru. He suggested waiting until the time is right to consider it carefully. After all, the fan base of a small band is very important. Once it is over-commercialized, it may lose the support of fans.

While Nina was daydreaming, An He Subaru had already helped her put on Silica's metal costume. It was a red skirt with pleated sleeves and her armpits were covered with black sports bras. It wasn't too revealing, but Nina always felt something was odd.

An He Subaru carefully observed Nina's costume and nodded: "Not bad, Nina, you have a talent for cosplay."

Nina's figure is similar to Silica in the anime, and she can just put on some colored contact lenses and she'll be all set.

Nina watched as An Hesuba picked up the daily disposable contact lenses and brought them close to her eyes. Although she wanted to struggle, she gave up in the end and only felt a subtle discomfort in her eyes.

"Hold on, it will be fine soon." An Hesuba patiently helped her put on the contact lenses as if she were taking care of a child.

When the final result came out, Renna was a little surprised when she looked at herself in the mirror. She stood in front of the mirror and said proudly: "From this point of view, my figure is pretty good."

An Hesuba: “?”

"What about Toru? What is Toru going to cosplay today?" Nina asked curiously.

An Hemai: "He is downstairs, you will know if you go down and see for yourself."

Renai ran out of the room with a smile and went downstairs to see Uehara Toru's outfit. At this time, Uehara Toru had put on a white wig, a white shirt, black suspenders, and an apron, looking like a cafe clerk.

He also wore a colored contact lens on his right eye, which had a blood-red pupil. It looked a bit scary, but at the same time it also made people realize his handsome appearance again.

Uehara Toru turned and looked at Nina, a faint smile on his face: "Not bad, your outfit is quite authentic."

Rencai asked curiously, "What role are you in?"

"The protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul - Kaneki Ken."

"So handsome!" For the first time, Nina praised from the bottom of her heart.

Toru Uehara smiled, picked up the mask and put it on his face. That mask was Kaneki Ken's standard mask, with exposed teeth and blood, which looked eerie.

When Rencai saw him wearing the mask, she showed a disgusted expression: "What is this? It would be better if you take off the mask..."

“Hey, little brat, this is called cosplay…” As soon as Uehara Toru finished speaking, An He Subaru, who was standing at the top of the stairs, had already taken out his camera and said to Uehara Toru with a smile: “Brother Toru, look at the camera!”

Toru Uehara looked up at her, wearing a mask and facing the camera.

"Click——"

"So handsome!"

Nina thought about it and moved closer to Uehara Toru: "Take a few pictures for me too!"

"I know." An Hesuba chuckled and pressed the shutter button happily.

After the three of them took about 20 photos at home, Uehara Toru smiled and said, "Okay, it's time to have some breakfast and get ready to go."

"Okay!~"

The Uehara family was filled with a happy atmosphere early in the morning.

Volume 104: Chapter Ending Remarks

Unlike the previous book, each volume was divided according to a node of change or breakthrough, but this book is simply divided after chapter 100.

Because it makes it easier to write a title this way.

I will no longer reply to book reviews.

But I will still reply to the latest chapter posts, and I will correct any typos you point out.

Let me briefly talk about the ideas behind this book, as a communication session between me and you.

First of all, the starting point of this book is completely different from the previous one. The previous book is set in an anime world, while this book is 80% reality and 20% anime.

At the same time, the character of the protagonist is also different. In the previous book, it can be said that he was pushed by things, but this is not the case. In this book, he has to take control of everything himself.

This is the difference in the protagonist.

The difference in writing is that the previous book was too crowded with characters to describe any details, but this one will be different. I have enough space to clearly portray these female protagonists.

At the same time, I also made adjustments to the plot structure. First of all, I no longer rely on strong conflict plots to advance the relationship between characters. Ueda Reina is my first attempt. It doesn’t mean that I have to go through something particularly spectacular or save you before I can be with you. I hope to write a love relationship that goes with the flow, has a tacit understanding, and you understand me and I understand you.

For everyone else, I'll write about the spiritual changes, transformations, and so on at different stages.

The story begins with change and ends with complete finalization.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the male or female protagonist, the character is not just one-sided. As the story unfolds, more inner aspects should be dug out little by little, so as to make it more fuller.

Similarly, in addition to the interactions between the male and female protagonists, I also added scenes of interactions with other male supporting characters in this book, because to be honest, I think if a book only revolves around the male and female protagonists and there is no story about other people, first of all, it will be nonsense, and secondly, it will be boring to write.

I had similar feelings many times in the later part of the last book, so much so that if you ask me if I have any love for the characters, I can only say that I have none at all, it’s like The Walking Dead was writing the book.

In view of this, I also want to make changes. I don't seek to be sensational, but to be bland and smooth, to finish the stories of these people steadily, and to avoid some plots that go beyond the logic of reality.

It's okay to read that kind of plot once, but twice, especially with the background of my current book, I believe that not only you but also myself will frown.

Oh, by the way, I also gave up the so-called technique of breaking chapters in this book. This is really a bit disgusting. If there are too many formulas and techniques piled up, the writing will lose its spirituality, which is also a very bad thing.

So now I hope to write an ending that will make people think about it, but I haven’t done it yet. I hope I can do it in the future.

The above is the current creative ideas and general summary of this book.

Regarding the plot and length, this book will be completed at about two million words, and it is probably in the early stages now.

The character of the protagonist will be further completed later.

Thank you for reading.

Volume 105: Chapter Chapter New Agent, New Outlook

When they arrived at the comic convention, Toru Uehara and the other two were completely shocked by the wave of people. Looking around, it was so densely packed, people were crammed together like garbage, and there was no end in sight.

"Is this a comic convention?" Ninai asked in surprise.

"This is a comic convention," Toru Uehara replied.

Toru Uehara and Nina couldn't say they liked or hated crowded scenes, but the thought of having to blend into the crowd seemed to extinguish their already low excitement.

Both of them suddenly became a little depressed.

In sharp contrast to them is An Hesuba, who is full of energy, as if sunshine is her best attire. Standing in the crowd, she is always the most dazzling and lovely person.

"Brother Toru, Niina, what are you waiting for? You can go in now." An Hesuba urged excitedly.

"Hello, can I take a picture of you?" asked a passing photographer.

An and Subaru smiled brightly. "Of course! But before that, could you please follow my social media accounts?"

"Oh? Of course you can buy it on my behalf: "Five Sulfur Six" Three." The photographer replied.

"Please be 'thornless', thank you!" An Hesuba took the opportunity to promote it.
