I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"'Thorns Without Thorns'...is that a band?" the photographer asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, that's it!" An Hesuba said happily.

She has decided that today, if anyone asks her to take photos or collect stamps, she will ask them to follow their social media accounts. In this way, she may be able to add hundreds of followers in a day.

It is not known whether these fans are interested in the band, but at least they are real people. Maybe one day when they see the band’s video on the homepage, they will slowly be attracted.

Although An He Subaru is not good at composing music or writing lyrics, she is an indispensable member of the band in terms of promotion and communication with people.

Toru Uehara listened to An and Subaru's energetic voices and shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If you're in a hurry, just go in and play by yourself first. I'll wait for others here. Jin will be here soon."

When Rencai heard this, she looked up at him and said, "That stupid guy?"

"Be polite." Uehara Toru knocked her on the head without any politeness.

Now the Uesaka family is a real benefactor, and one should be grateful and repay the favor, so naturally, the things that were agreed with Sumire before should be done.

After the last polite refusal, Toru Uehara adjusted Sumire's position back to student.

In this way, you can take care of her to some extent without causing too much ambiguity.

Just like the child in front of me.

To be honest, is there anything wrong with Jin?

She is beautiful, has a gentle personality, comes from a wealthy family, and has helped me many times. Each of these buffs is first-rate when taken individually, let alone all three combined in one.

But Uehara found that he just didn't feel anything.

Although he needs money, he doesn't really need it. He has a gentle personality, and children nowadays have quite gentle personalities. Not to mention being pretty, this is what Toru Uehara cares least about.

Feeling is an elusive thing. It may be a momentary resonance or a temporary impulse?

No matter which one it was, Sumire didn't give him that feeling.

Moreover, he didn't think that there was any woman more important than his career.

-

After waiting for about thirty minutes in the sun and communicating with each other via mobile phone several times, Uehara Toru and his team finally determined the location. Then, Uesaka Sumire, wearing a heavy Russian coat, and Yuuki Aoi, dressed as Cardcaptor Sakura, appeared in their sight.

Uehara Toru was a little surprised when he saw this outfit. Uesaka Sumire's long black hair had turned into silver ponytails, her eyes were red outside and blue inside. She wore a navy blue cavalry cap, a Tsarist-style double coat, metal hand guards, knee-high socks and thick-soled high heels.

In the hot summer, she was wrapped tightly all over, but at the same time it was obvious that the outfit was very expensive and obviously custom-made.

Sumire Uesaka noticed Toru Uehara's gaze and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

Yuuki Aoi stood next to her, picked up Sakura's transformation staff, and gently hit Sumire Uesaka on the back.

Only then did Uesaka Sumire come back to her senses and looked at Uehara Toru with a stern expression.

"You two are amazing. You dress so elaborately."

At this moment, Toru Uehara unexpectedly had the same hair color as Sumire, and both of them were wearing silver-white wigs.

Yuuki Aoi snorted, "I didn't want to come in the first place, but Jin insisted on dragging me. Okay, it was really hard to find you guys, now it's time to go in."

Nina walked up to Yuuki Aoi and compared their heights before she could react. Nina, who won the comparison, showed a smug smile.

Yuuki Aoi was confused by Nina's sudden action, but Nina smiled nonchalantly and said, "My name is Jingqin Nina, and I'm a member of Toru's family. What's your name?"

Yuuki Aoi was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Uehara Tetsu. Seeing that he did not refute, she sneered: "Didn't I meet you last time? Have you forgotten me?"

Nina was wondering, then she suddenly remembered.

"Are you Ao-chan?"

"…no respect for elders and younger brothers"

"What did you mean by comparing heights just now?" asked Yumu Aoi.

Renai blinked and said, "Nothing, it's just that I haven't seen anyone shorter than me in a long time. But Ao-chan, your clothes look great. Which anime is it from?"

"Don't say you're short!" Yuuki was completely furious. She picked up her staff and hit Renai on the forehead.

Nina only deliberately reacted slowly when she was hit by Uehara Tetsu. As for others, she would not be hit so easily. Nina caught the staff with her bare hands at the fastest reaction speed. The two loli-like girls were like two bulls in a bullfight, butting each other with their horns, both trying their best.

Toru Uehara and Sumire Uesaka couldn't help laughing when they saw the two of them starting to play around as soon as they met.

"No, even though I said you're shorter than me, you're still very cute. This is the first time I've seen such a cute 2D character."

"Do you think you can attack someone harshly just by giving them an innocuous compliment?"

"Ok?"

In the end, Toru Uehara picked up Nina, and Sumire Uesaka pulled Aoi Yuuki away, ending the farce that had started before entering the comic convention.

The two stared at each other, tit for tat, and neither was afraid of the other.

-

Along the way, before entering the main area of ​​the comic convention, they saw many photographers already taking pictures of various cosplayers on the periphery.

Looking around, most cosplayers' outfits are quite revealing, and some are even exaggerated. In comparison, the outfits of Toru Uehara and his group seem particularly conservative.

Renai opened her eyes wide, looking at those scantily clad female cosplayers, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really okay for them to do this?"

"Isn't this illegal?" she added.

Although Yuuki Aoi is well-informed, she still thinks this scene is a bit exaggerated. She just tries to stay calm and says, "What's illegal about this? Don't make a fuss. Japanese TV stations are still broadcasting more exciting content."

Toru Uehara touched his chin and thought to himself: This won’t be the style of the whole place later. That may not be suitable for the children.

"Um... can I take a photo with you?" a passing female cosplayer asked Uehara Toru. Uehara Toru was wearing a mask at the time. He was silent for a while, but finally nodded and agreed to take the photo.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Toru Uehara still endured it. When he actually took the photo, he found that the other person was not a person without sense of propriety and kept a proper distance. He just wanted both of them to appear in the camera at the same time.

"Thank you!" After the photoshoot, the girl was very happy and quickly took out a peripheral from her bag and handed it to Uehara Toru: "Thank you, your cosplay is really good, very realistic, but Kaneki-kun may not be as tall as you, but that's not a big problem."

"These are some supplies I brought. Please accept them. Thank you!" After giving the gifts, the girl left in a hurry.

Toru Uehara looked down at the small stand he received. Coincidentally, it was the Pig from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", the character voiced by Matsuoka Makoto.

Toru Uehara smiled, took out his mobile phone, took a photo, and then chose to send it to Matsuoka Makoto.

At this time, Yuuki Aoi and Nina were also asked to take photos by passers-by, who hoped that the two could pose in some cute poses.

Nina felt very uncomfortable, and she seemed to have no idea how to be cute. But Yuuki Aoi was different. She sneered and began to instruct Nina on the spot.

"Look, when you face the camera, you need to check your gestures and posture with the corner of your eye... After confirming that everything is OK, then show your smile."

"I, I can't laugh!" Renna thought it was all too weird, and faced with so many cameras, she felt overwhelmed.

"How stupid!" Yuuki Aoi couldn't help it and pulled Nina over and forced her to pose.

The irritable Sakura Kinomoto seems to be ready to "teach" Silica from Sword Art Online. This scene is like the first generation of cute king showing her authority and momentum! ０

The onlookers around imagined this in their minds.

Seeing that the two people were cooperating with each other, Toru Uehara decided that he didn't need to worry about them for the time being, so he turned his attention to An and Subaru.

An He Subaru had given up pretending. She found a board from somewhere and hung it on her chest. It said, "Please pay attention to whether there are thorns or not. You can take pictures after paying attention!"

Why did you come to the comic convention?

She really made me cry to death.

The last one was Sumire Uesaka, who had been standing next to him. She had been standing there in a daze since a while ago, and no one asked her to collect stamps, so she looked dazed.

Uehara Toru saw that everyone was fine, except for Sumire who was lagging, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Sumire, aren't you going to find someone to take a photo?"

Sumire Uesaka's eyes were shining at this moment. It was actually a very happy thing to see so many like-minded people walking around in front of her, but... she didn't know how to take the initiative to show herself.

Sumire Uesaka looked at him and said softly, "I..."

Uehara Toru once again carefully examined her outfit and asked with a smile, "Who are you cosplaying as?"

"Altaïr is a character from the recently released anime "Re:CREATORS"."

“It just came out recently.”

Toru Uehara nodded, he hadn't seen it yet.

"Didn't you say before that you always wanted to have good friends?"

"Ah."

"This venue is the best place for you. Now that you are dressed so well, it would be a pity if you don't show yourself off."

"How can I show myself?" Sumire Uesaka continued to ask softly.

Uehara Toru chuckled and said, "Just like showing your voice and acting skills in dubbing, since you are cosplaying, you should try to integrate yourself into the role. If you like it, then let everyone feel it. Naturally, people will come to take pictures with you."

"There is always an inexplicable resonance between people."

After hearing what Toru Uehara said, Sumire Uesaka fell into deep thought. Then she drew out her cavalry command knife and pointed it at Toru Uehara's throat. Her eyes and temperament instantly became cold and sharp, completely different from the gentleness just now, as if she had really transformed into the ruthless military uniform girl killer.

"Is it like this?" Sumire Uesaka's voice changed along with her temperament, and the atmosphere suddenly came up.

While this kind of behavior might be called chuunibyou in everyday life, it’s perfect in an environment like a comic convention.

Toru Uehara was somewhat surprised to see Sumire Uesaka's performance, and he couldn't help but reveal his admiration for her in his eyes.

Although he didn't feel anything, Sumire was undoubtedly his most proud student. Her talent in acting was simply exaggerated.

Toru Uehara even wondered, if he hadn't taught her in the first place, would she have been able to enter this industry so quickly and stand out with her own abilities?

"Yes, that's it."

Seeing Toru Uehara's eyes, Sumire Uesaka felt satisfied.

Sure enough, what my mother said was right. The only way to win the teacher's heart is to stand shoulder to shoulder with him or even surpass him in the career that he values ​​most.

At this moment, Sumire Uesaka completely understood her future goals.

"Junji assassinated Kaneki Ken!"

Many photographers passing by couldn't help but get excited when they saw this scene, so Toru Uehara and Sumire Uesaka were soon surrounded in a circle, and under everyone's enthusiasm, they also began to cooperate in taking pictures.

After two hours of comic convention activities, except for An, Subaru and Yuuki Aoi who were still energetic, the other three looked a little tired.

After all, they are just amateurs, and it's great that they can persist for this long.

Although Toru Yagamihara could still hold on physically, he felt mentally exhausted.

Yuuki Aoi observed An and Subaru and asked, "Are you... from an arts school?"

An Hesuba was stunned for a moment and replied, "How did you know, Ao-chan?"

Yuuki Aoi curled her lips and said, "You looked so natural in front of the camera just now, and your movements were very standard. You can tell at a glance that you have received professional training."

Lu "I see. Ao-chan, did you also plan to go to that kind of school before?" An Hesuba asked curiously.

"...I originally had this plan, but... forget it, let's not talk about it." Yuuki Aoi obviously didn't want to continue this topic.

Si "Hey, you aroused my curiosity but you didn't tell me. That's too much." An Hemai complained dissatisfiedly.

"Don't bother me. I don't want to talk about it if I don't want to talk about it." Yumu Aoi simply ended the topic.

Er Uehara Toru looked inside the venue and suggested, "Let's split up later. You can go wherever you want, but gather at this door before you leave. If you have any questions, we can contact each other by phone."

A little "Okay~" An and Subaru agreed.

Renai said that she had no strength left: "I need to rest..."

"Why are you taking a break? I just saw a stage in the central area where we can sing. Why don't you go up and sing a couple of songs to promote our group?" An He Subaru encouraged Renai.

"Do you still want to win diamond stardust?" An Hesuba continued.

Renai was exhausted, but when she heard the name Diamond Stardust, she immediately perked up. She looked at An and Subaru: "You better not be lying to me..."

ＵAfter the two left, Yuuki Aoi said she wanted to go for a walk, leaving Uehara Toru and Uesaka Sumire alone.

n Uehara Toru noticed that Uesaka Sumire looked tired and suggested, "Why don't you sit down and rest nearby?"

:Sumire Uesaka was wearing heavy clothes to take photos under the scorching sun. It was really hard. She was able to hold on for two hours without getting a heat stroke, all thanks to constantly drinking water.

Sumire Uesaka's face was slightly flushed, and Uehara Toru frowned when he saw this. He was not unfamiliar with this situation, after all, Mizuno Inori had just suffered from heatstroke not long ago.

"Are you okay, Sumire?"

"...Teacher, I feel a little..." Sumire Uesaka's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

When Toru Uehara leaned closer to listen, he realized that she wanted to go to the bathroom.

"then you go."
