I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Toru Uehara and Nana Toyama were walking on the side of the road, watching the vehicles passing by. It was a very ordinary night scene, but it was also quite interesting.

"Emotional?" Toyama Nana looked up at him.

"It's just that I'm a little more based on my feelings now, I used to be more logical."

"Well, if that's the case, I think so too."

"Maybe it's because life has gotten better and I'm in a happier mood, so I want to follow my heart more?"

"Uehara-kun, I wonder if you've noticed that you've been laughing more and more recently. This must be a sign that your life is getting better."

"Is that so?" Uehara Toru asked subconsciously, but he was also thinking about this.

"Yes, apart from those polite smiles, you smile at people a lot now, which is completely different from before."

"Before, when I brought you an umbrella, you had a stern face. I felt so stressed when I was with you at that time."

Uehara Toru smiled: "Now you dare to complain."

"Hehe, because I know you won't be angry, Uehara-kun."

To this, Uehara Tetsu could only say that no one who has been trained by Nina has a bad temper.

"So, what do you want to tell me?"

Uehara Toru saw that they were about to reach the traffic light, and it was time to get down to business.

"Well... before that, I want to ask you, that is, last time you saved me, Uehara-kun, was that charity?"

Toru Uehara: "..."

"Toyama-san, have you really been brainwashed by Mr. Wataru?"

"Eh?"

"That has nothing to do with charity. Don't listen to his nonsense. You have a sudden onset of hypoglycemia. Normal people who see you will help you. This is fatal. If you are left alone, you may die."

"Maybe he will die, maybe not, but the problem is serious."

"I see... So no matter who it is, you will save Uehara-kun?"

"Of course, is there anything worth asking?" Toru Uehara felt a little puzzled.

It's not like he hasn't done similar things before. He once helped two strangers catch a thief and get their wallet back.

He never minded doing good deeds that were easy to do.

Nor do they care about any reward.

Just do it when you want to, that's all.

Nana Toyama pursed her lips and said, "Look at it this way, I'm really lucky to have met Uehara-kun."

"Is it."

"Um, Uehara-kun, I..." Nana Toyama suddenly stopped, her back to the flashing traffic lights, the breeze from the passing cars on the road gently ruffled her soft hair. Under the light of the familiar bakery sign on the street, the girl's cheeks were stained with a faint blush.

"I……"

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang.

Uehara Tetsu felt like he had seen this scene before, so he subconsciously reminded her, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?"

This is exactly the same scene as the one they recorded not long ago, where Tuanzi is about to confess her love to the Great Sensei.

So, is Nana Toyama planning to confess to me?

Toru Uehara watched her hurriedly answer the phone, thinking about this sense of déjà vu and how to reject her later.

No, if she really wants to confess her love, Nana Touyama wouldn't be so careless with her personality. At least she would do it after the date, right?

As mentioned before, Tetsuku Uehara has recently been trying to understand the friends around him, and Nanago Toyama is obviously one of them.

The only one who currently cannot understand the logic of her behavior is Sakura Ayane.

The rest can be more or less understood, or guessed.

Nana Touyama answered the phone somewhat embarrassedly: "Hello, Mom?"

"Ah, um... I know, don't worry... I know..."

"I'm not free next Saturday... Sunday... okay."

"I just had dinner with my colleagues outside. Well, I'm fine. I'm fine..."

Nana Toyama's response to her mother was quite gentle and calm, without any impatience on her face, which was consistent with her weak and cute personality.

"Hey, Uehara-kun, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... I... I'll just forget about that. I'll go back first. Please be careful on your way."

After some discussion and thinking, Toru Uehara naturally wanted to verify it with the person himself.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. There's no need to hide it. Aren't we friends?" Toru Uehara did the same thing last time. He didn't say anything proactively. He only spoke after Nana Toyama came up to help.

When friends encounter trouble, we must help each other.

"Well... well, okay then."

Nana Touyama said with a bitter face: "My mother has started to arrange a blind date for me and told me to meet her no matter what, but I really don't want to deal with it..."

"It sounds like a Chinese drama." Toru Uehara complained.

"Domestic drama?"

"It's okay, just keep talking."

"Because the other party's family background is also very outstanding, if I don't meet him, my parents will also lose face. But if I meet him, I don't have time to build a relationship with him... I don't want to either. My current career is..."

"So, you want to ask me how to solve it?" Toru Uehara looked up at the sky.

"No, I already have a solution, but..." Nana Toyama's answer surprised him.

"Just tell me, there's no need to keep me in suspense." #＋四８↑２４３３≈≈５＿ｑＵN:

"Well... I want you, Uehara-kun, to be my ex-boyfriend..."

“?” Toru Uehara blinked and looked at Nana Toyama in confusion.

Nana Toyama explained slowly, "Because pretending to be a boyfriend is definitely unrealistic and very troublesome. We have to take time out of our schedule and have to act afterwards. It's a method that will cause endless troubles."

"You're right." Uehara Toru became interested.

As expected of a top student at Waseda University, his thoughts and ideas are quite clear.

Although he looks stupid sometimes, he is not really stupid.

"But if it's my ex-boyfriend, I can solve this problem very well. All I need is... Uehara-kun, you agree... Then we take a few more photos, and I'll show them to them and the blind date, and tell him that I'm still in touch with my ex-boyfriend... and everything will be fine."

Uehara Toru nodded: "Very good, it saves trouble and is convenient."

"But... it will have a certain impact on your reputation, Uehara-kun. After all..."

"Your parents and your blind date are all outside the entertainment industry, right? It doesn't matter."

"Is it really okay?" Nana Toyama asked cautiously.

"Even if it's taken seriously, it's not a big problem. He's just an ex-boyfriend anyway, right?"

"Besides, you should be the one who is worried about your reputation. You are an idol-type voice actor. Wouldn't it be terrible if your fans knew that you are in a relationship?"

Nana Touyama blushed and shook her head, "I don't have that many die-hard fans here. Everyone is fine."

"Just go and learn from Mizuno Inori." said Toru Uehara.

"Hey, is this Mizunochu-kun Un:Kyuu-ji-go-san?"

Uehara Toru nodded: "If you want to communicate with her, I can introduce you to each other some other day. Come to my house then."

He now really does as Ishikawa Kaito said, treating his home as a large social gathering place for voice actors in the industry.

This idea can be regarded as borrowed from Mrs. Uesaka. Since artists can organize groups, why can't voice actors?

Getting to know people in the industry in this way is much easier than going online to greet them one by one and inviting them to dinner.

"Yeah...Okay, I do want to communicate with her."

"Then... Uehara-kun, do you agree?"

"Well, go ahead. He's your ex-boyfriend, not your current boyfriend."

"Hehe, I think this is an idea too. Uehara-kun, you will agree to it."

"Then why did you hide it and refuse to tell me just now?" Toru Uehara asked with a chuckle as he looked at Nana Toyama's happy look.

Nana Touyama was a little shy: "I think so, but when I really do it, I will definitely feel a little scared."

"Girls are usually like this, they can't say everything directly, and in this regard...Nina-chan is particularly good."

"She is very brave. I really want to learn from her."

"Don't."

Uehara Toru: "Just be yourself. You can't learn from her."

"But Uehara-kun, you are similar to Nina-chan..."

"I'm much smarter than she is."

Nana Touyama covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay."

Before parting with her, Uehara Toru reminded her, "If you don't have enough materials now, I'm going to attend an art exhibition in a few days. You can go with me and take some more photos then."

"Yeah, okay, I'll definitely go after I finish work!"

After hearing Nana Toyama's reply, Toru Uehara felt particularly relieved.

He finally understood why he wasn't wary of Nana Toyama.

Because both of them are workaholics and really want to improve themselves.

——

Walking back, Toru Uehara continued to send messages to Nana Toyama and confirmed the matter of her ex-boyfriend.

Although we have never been in a relationship, he is someone else's ex-boyfriend.

It's somewhat humorous.

Because Toru Uehara had just taken a detour, he was now passing through a completely different street. There were still various izakayas around, where office workers and people who were tired from work were drinking to relieve their stress.

However, not far ahead, he noticed a girl squatting on the side of the road, holding a bottle of beer in her hand and drinking it very depressedly.

Although she didn't say anything, you could tell how depressed she was just by looking at her posture.

At this time, another mature woman in OL clothes came to the girl and said, "Xiao Shui, Xiao Shui, don't drink it!!"

"...?"

Toru Uehara blinked, never expecting that it would be an acquaintance.

The squatting posture of Mizuno Inori at this moment was indeed a bit unruly, like those bad girls commonly seen in movies, especially since she was wearing a skirt. This wild posture made it difficult for him to associate her with her usual image.

"Miyu-sister!"

"Xiao, Xiaoshui, this is not juice, this is fruit wine!"

"Miyu-sister!"

"…You, go ahead."

“Let me ask you, did I make a lot of money for the company?”

"This is natural. You are the top star."

"But why can't I even take a day off now? Yesterday... I went to ask them for a day off, and they started to pua me again and said a lot of nonsense to me..."

"Well...Xiao Shui, if you are really tired, we can take a break for a while."

"Besides, why do you want to hype up Sakura Ayane's CP? I was obviously the one who knew him first, so if you want to hype it up, you should hype me and him. Why let her get all the attention?!"

"This……"

Sister Miu was sweating profusely.

Xiaoshui, even if you are angry, you can't just let it go.

This is the street. If you don't calm down, I will really have to put you into a physical coma.

"And...Uehara Toru is also...also a...a...bastard!"
