I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Uehara Toru's expression was a little subtle: "He said that about me?"

Not long ago, he was cursing himself on the phone.

"Well, Manager Oda likes you very much, so he keeps talking about you. We can all see that he actually wants to take you with him instead of us."

Uehara Toru listened to this and chuckled, "Then you are wrong. He will not neglect his work, so he must care about you the most."

"Well... do you have time? If you do, let's go to a nearby cafe and chat?"

"Eh? Is it okay?" Qingtian looked surprised.

"Sure, I have today off anyway."

It’s still a little bit before the time I agreed to meet Reina Ueda, so it’s okay to chat for a while.

During the conversation, Uehara Toru briefly talked about his experience and mentioned a few key points.

The most important thing is to attend more auditions.

Use auditions to verify whether you have made progress.

Instead of attending two or even one audition a month like I did before.

That way you won't even be able to make yourself familiar to others, and the frequency is too low, which will only make people think that you are just an amateur voice actor, not a formal voice actor.

Qingtian heard it all and looked very grateful the whole time. After all, Uehara Toru is now only a second- or third-tier voice actor in terms of popularity. The only distance between him and the first-tier is just the accumulation of bad roles.

He truly felt that he had earned a lot of money to be able to talk to such a senior.

Toru Uehara looked at the other person's expression and seemed to remember the time when he faced Matsuoka Makoto and Shimazaki Nobunaga.

"In short, keep going, there is still a long way to go. As long as you really like it, just keep doing it."

After all, you have chosen to be a voice actor. If it’s not true passion, then what is it?

Before leaving, Toru Uehara packed a dessert and coffee, then slowly walked towards Rena Ueda's home.

Today, Reina Ueda said that she had some things to move and wanted to ask him to come over to help.

It just so happened that he was planning to change his environment and look for some inspiration.

I am only two paintings short of the total ten that I can send to Musashino University for review.

Each painting is a sudden inspiration, and there are many ideas piled up in my mind, many of which I have thought about but never put into action.

Now that he has a clear goal, Toru Uehara can take his time to draw it out during his spare time.

He also began to experience the fun of it for the first time in a long time.

Creating, depicting a world of your own, using colors to express your inner self is a very stress-relieving method.

Carrying a bag with a cup of coffee and a small cake.

Speaking of which, Toru Uehara still doesn't know what kind of food Reina Ueda likes...

Having known each other for such a long time, the first person he knew best was Nina, the second was Yasu and Subaru, then Matsuoka, Nobunaga...

As for other people, it would be fine if you don’t ask them, because if you do, they really can’t explain it.

After realizing this, Toru Uehara thought that maybe he should pay more attention to it in the future.

Walking around the familiar corner and looking at the rusty stairs, Toru Uehara's mood slowly became relaxed again.

However, when he shifted his focus, he happened to see Rena Ueda who was walking back with a large cardboard box in her arms.

Toru Uehara glanced at the distance and quickly stepped forward.

"Reina."

"Tetsu-kun?" After hearing the voice, Ueda Rena turned around and looked at him with a smile.

Uehara Toru walked up to her and took the heavy cardboard box from her. Ueda Rena was a little surprised to feel his warm palm gently touching the back of her hand. Compared with Uehara Toru's warm hand, the back of Ueda Rena's hand seemed a little cold, as if her blood circulation was not smooth.

After taking the carton, Toru Uehara gently shook the bag of coffee, causing it to sway slightly.

"I brought you coffee and cake. Warm your hands with the coffee first."

"Ah...thank you." Reina Ueda nodded with a smile.

Looking at Toru Uehara carrying things and walking beside her with ease, Rena Ueda couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting here.

How many months has it been?

Anyway, he has changed a lot.

Perhaps, at this moment, we can try to ask some questions that we shouldn’t ask before?

Rena Ueda's approach to her interactions with Toru Uehara has always been to avoid mistakes rather than seek credit. For someone who is already a person of integrity, it would be better for her to just rush in rather than try to open a gap under his iron wall.

It is better to let him get used to your existence like spring rain, so that he can know that he is a trustworthy person. 『

In fact, it’s very similar to having a cat.

When Torataro first returned home, he was also very uneasy about the unfamiliar environment. It takes time to adjust.

Reina Ueda is very patient.

"what happened?"

Toru Uehara noticed that she was holding the coffee cup with both hands and staring at his profile.

"Nothing, I just think this scene looks familiar."

"Oh, you mean the time before."

Looking back now, Toru Uehara thinks that his behavior at that time was indeed a bit excessive.

All I can say is that he was used to being arrogant. At that time, Toru Uehara was a man who only cared about himself.

"Speaking of this, I'm a little curious, Reina...why weren't you angry at the time?"

"Hmm?" Ueda Reina blinked: "I don't understand what you mean."

Toru Uehara just felt that if it were Sakura Ayane, she would definitely gossip about him for days, and might even use this matter to lash out at him on the radio every week.

If it were Nana Toyama... I would probably have helped her right away, because her loli appearance is so deceptive.

Toru Uehara briefly expressed his opinion, but Rena Ueda couldn't help laughing after listening to it.

"Tetsu-kun, you're kind of cute. Now you're actually reflecting on your past self?"

"It's not reflection, it's curiosity..." Uehara Toru replied stubbornly.

"There's no need to reflect on it. Well, why wasn't I angry? Maybe it's because I thought it was my business, and there were my personal belongings in it." Ueda Reina said softly, "If you don't have expectations of others, you won't be disappointed. That's probably what I thought at the time."

Uehara search,〗Search group: 4～《'丝"∽≈Che was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he saw Ueda Rena take the initiative to show such a gloomy state.

"Are you scared?" Ueda Reina asked with a smile.

"No."

"Of course, this is just one of the reasons. The main reason is that you were obviously in a bad mood at the time, weren't you? What happened to you at the time? Can you tell me now?"

Uehara Toru was stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent.

Reina Ueda's heart was also pounding, and she finally took a slightly radical step.

She was a little nervous about what the outcome would be.

Uehara Toru sighed softly: "I'll tell you when we go upstairs."

"it is good."

-

After helping Rena Ueda move most of the things, Toru Uehara finally had time to rest. At this time, Kotaro lay obediently between his legs, sleeping close to him.

Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings.

The last time dad didn’t feed me was because he was busy with work.

After Toru Uehara bought some premium canned cat food and fed it to Kotaro, the cat stopped adding to the drama and simply chose to unconditionally become Toru Uehara's little licker.

Uehara Toru stroked Kotaro's fur, leaned against the bookshelf, and chuckled, "Reina, I really like the decoration and layout of your room. If I lived in a suite like this, I would definitely learn from you."

"Now I realize that I use the study room at home less than Rencai does."

"Every time I get home from work, I either want to sit in the courtyard and daydream, or go straight back to my room and lie down to sleep. I can't even read a book."

Toru Uehara turned his head and looked at the books on the bookshelf and found that they were basically not miscellaneous books, but serious literature.

Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Soseki Natsume, Haruki Murakami, etc.

Do Nakahara and Ueda Rena like to read this kind of book?

qToru Uehara began to feel like he was getting to know her all over again.

uAs if she had noticed Toru Uehara's surprised look, Rena Ueda, who was standing at the kitchen counter making tea, began to feel embarrassed.

"I... although I bought a lot of books, I haven't read that many. Although I have always wanted to finish reading them all, I haven't done it yet."

: It’s really embarrassing to say this. I bought the book but didn’t read it.

"Bibliophilia?"

"Hmm... you can understand it that way."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm fine."

"I really miss these books...I read them a lot in high school."

Toru Uehara picked up a copy of Haruki Murakami's "Dance! Dance! Dance!"

"At the time, many people thought that I should read this kind of book, but I stupidly kept reading it, even though I didn't understand it at all and wasn't very interested in it."

Jiu: "Huh?"

Tian Lingnai walked slowly towards him with a cup of hot tea. It was a bit novel to listen to him sharing these stories for the first time.

"Take this book for example. I have no idea what the Aries man represents, nor do I understand what the protagonist is connected to when he goes to the Dolphin Hotel all day. It is filled with a lot of songs I have never heard of and descriptions I don't understand."

"I also don't understand why the protagonist is obsessed with such things, but I still finished watching it."

“I read them all, one after another.”

When Reina Ueda heard him mention **, her pretty face turned slightly red.

"Drink tea, Tetsu-kun."

"Thank you."

"Then why do you still want to watch it?"

"Because I didn't think clearly at the time, I always felt that the me described by others was the real me."

"do not understand."

Uehara Toru took a sip of tea, touched Kotaro again, and smiled, "It's okay, I don't really understand either."

"To put it simply, for a long time, I have been imitating what others said about me. They thought I was handsome, so I should be like this or that, and I really became like that, whether it was study, sports, personality, or what my parents said to me..."

“If I were a painting, then my early years would probably be a painting covered in paint by others, with no trace of my own color.”

"If it's during adolescence...it's actually okay, because I've had similar thoughts." Rena Ueda sat next to him, her legs slightly curled up, leaning against the bookshelf like him.

She still had the aroma of coffee on her lips at this point, so there was no need for tea for the time being.

"Teens are looking for themselves most of the time, but many people don't think about why they do this. Impulse accounts for too many of them, but in the final analysis, the process may be the same."

Uehara Toru nodded: "That makes sense."

"Reina, why don't I go to the same high school as you?"

"Eh?" Ueda Jiu〃neighbor? '';4肿′zhuanun: Reina was stunned, and the blood in her hands, which had originally been cold, suddenly began to circulate.

She turned her head slightly and whispered, "Because Toyama Prefecture is very far from Aichi Prefecture."

"I think my personality problems are mostly caused by my childhood sweetheart."

"Ok?"

"I don't know if I have ever told you the story of my childhood sweetheart before." Toru Uehara has too many things to remember recently, and he really can't remember what he talked about with Rena Ueda before.

It just leaves an impression, an impression of comfort, ease, and pleasure.

"Maybe, Xiaohua?" Rena Ueda recalled carefully.

"Haha, yes, Xiaohua."
