I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"Um, Uehara-san... I, I..."

"Let's come out and talk first, there are a lot of people here." Toru Uehara said with a smile.

"Oh……"

Xiaoshui is very honest. It seems that he was not as honest as he is now when he was in school.

Toru Uehara walked out of the recording studio with her. The fresh air outside immediately hit their noses. They walked all the way to a nearby coffee shop. Toru Uehara nodded to the front desk, said something, and then turned to look at Mizuno Inori.

"Let's find a seat in the corner."

"Well... OK.".

After the two sat down, coffee, cake, and heated lunch boxes were brought to Mizuno Inori.

Mizuno Qi was surprised: "This, this is...?"

"Although it can't be called a thank you gift, it's just a token of my appreciation."

"Mizuno-san, thank you very much... thank you very much." Toru Uehara bowed his head and thanked Mizuno Inori very sincerely.

Mizuno Qi suddenly panicked, waving her hands around with a confused look on her face.

"Why, what's wrong? Are you...thanking me?"

"Shouldn't it be..." Mizuno Qihao always felt that such a scene seemed to appear only in dreams.

Is this a dream?

I am still drinking on the roadside, and then Sister Meiyu is carrying me on her back on the way home?

But the sounds around me are so clear, the aroma of coffee is fragrant and mellow, and so is the temperature of the lunch box in front of me.

If dreams are so real, then what have I experienced before?

Mizuno Inori stared at Uehara Toru blankly.

"You don't have to worry about what happened last night. This is not the first time I've seen it." Toru Uehara said in a calm tone.

This is the true feeling. Mizuno Qi likes to complain and curse people behind their backs. He thinks this is human nature. The reason why people are human is that everyone has flaws.

Imperfections make people more real.

Although I was also scolded, that remark was actually a bit harmless and more like impotent rage.

Compared to these, Uehara Toru noticed her words.

“I’ve been giving you opportunities.”

This sentence is crucial.

Until now, Toru Uehara still remembers that he failed the audition for Demon Slayer and was in a desperate period when he suddenly got a job that came in handy.

It was precisely because of that advertising job that the later film "Firefly Forest" was created.

Otherwise, he would probably still be struggling in the audition meeting.

After tasting the fruits of success, Toru Uehara felt more fortunate and cherished it.

What if he failed again in the miserable state after Demon Slayer?

No one can predict this kind of thing for sure, but at least there will definitely be big problems with the mentality.

So no matter from which angle you look at it, Mizuno Inori's opportunity came at the right time, and it can be said that it is worth a fortune.

After contacting Mizuno Inori's agent, Sister Miyu, through Ms. Aoki and Oda and verifying the information, Toru Uehara's favorability towards Mizuno Inori skyrocketed.

It's already on par with Sakura Ayane.

Toru Uehara felt that this was impeccable for someone who had helped him in private but never mentioned it.

He was just cursing at me, and it was obviously said in anger. What's the big deal?

After listening to Uehara Toru's explanation and sincere thanks, Mizuno Inori suddenly turned pale. She said softly, "This... this is nothing. After all, I had a cold at that time. It was Uehara-san who helped me contact Ayane. Otherwise, after I had a fever, my work tomorrow might have been delayed."

“This is considered to be a break even.”

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "In your mind, it's equal, but it's different in my mind."

"But, Mizuno-san, why didn't you tell your agent about your cold?"

Mizuno Inori was startled when she heard this. She said awkwardly, "Because... I can't say it."

"Can you tell me that?"

"Because I had a deal with you at that time, and as for the deal, I thought you were someone who could keep a secret, so I chose to tell you."

Toru Uehara looked at Mizuno Inori's expression at this moment and sighed inwardly that they were indeed good sisters.

You two really are...

"So you still don't like Sakura?"

"... That's not the case. It's just... it's too easy for her to get it. She'll be jealous. That's probably it." Six, -

"I see."

"Um...Uehara-san, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it last night."

"I know, don't worry about it."

Mizuno Inori didn't expect that her impatience and mistakes would actually bring about positive results. She looked at Uehara Toru's face cautiously: "Um, what is this bento...?"

"I made lunch this morning. I asked Sister Meiyu about your recent diet and made you a meal that is good for your stomach."

"Of course, these cannot be the full thanks. If you need anything in the future, I can bring you a lunch box during the dubbing period."

“Eh? No no no no, Uehara-san, you’re… too polite. You really don’t have to be like this.”

"This is very important." Uehara Toru said seriously: "This favor must be repaid, otherwise I will not feel balanced."

Mizuno Qi was really embarrassed.

"... Well, thank you. Wait, Uehara-san, I... I'm not sure if I can participate in the recording yet, right?"

Uehara Toru: "Well, I think there's a high probability that you will be fine."

"Sakura is too casual, which is both her strength and weakness."

"...Indeed." Mizuno Qi felt the same way.

"She was like this before, talented but likes to spend lavishly."

Uehara Toru: "To some extent, I can understand her mentality."

"Okay, Mizuno-san, if you have any troubles in the future, you can tell me. Of course, if you want to talk to me like before, that's fine too."

"Just have to wait until I have time."

"Really?" Mizuno Inori opened her eyes wide and looked at Uehara Toru who had finished his coffee and was about to get up.

"Well, if our levels are compatible, you can come and sit here every time you finish dubbing. Or if you have time, you can come to my house. I also want to introduce some friends to you."

"Pressure needs an outlet, but it's obviously not realistic to rely on just one person. Mizuno-san, you have such strong social skills. It would be a pity if you don't use them correctly."

"I have been learning from you for a long time."

"You are really amazing, so you don't need to worry too much, just say what you want to say."

Mizuno Inori noticed the change in Uehara Toru at this moment, and felt like she had tasted a rich-flavored candy, with all kinds of flavors intertwined and complex and difficult to distinguish.

Is this still the Toru Uehara that she knows?

Although it has changed, she doesn't hate such changes. After all, if it weren't like this...she would have fewer opportunities to get close to him.

But what happened?

I always feel that he is more influenced by other women now.

Is that Sakura Ayane?

It should not be.

Then who is it?

After Uehara Toru politely said goodbye to Mizuno Inori, she officially opened the lunch box. There was a groove cleverly designed inside the lunch box for placing the dumplings. Once opened, there were exquisite and attractive dishes with a fragrant aroma.

The lunch box contained purple glutinous rice, broccoli, and beef, which she rarely touched, which was stewed with tomatoes. To be honest, these were not regular guests in Mizunoki's daily diet, and she didn't even like the taste of tomatoes and broccoli.

But, because this was made specially for her by Uehara Toru, everything became different. He was even considerate enough to keep it in the cafe and let others help heat it up...

Before eating, Mizuno took a photo of the bento, hesitated for a moment, cut out his own large size, and chose to upload it.

Caption: [A lunch full of heart, with a grateful heart, I am going to eat it. ] % 0`

Normally, her social media accounts are managed by her staff, and she rarely posts personal content herself, but at this moment, she could not suppress her emotions and could not help but share this special bento.

Soon, she saw many messages from fans, who curiously asked where she bought the bento, praised its beautiful appearance and said it looked very tempting, and some even speculated whether she made it herself.

Mizuno Inori replied to one of the comments: [A friend made this for me. ]

While tasting the delicious bento, she happily browsed through the praises of Uehara Toru's cooking. Before she knew it, she had finished her lunch in about ten minutes, much faster than usual. Not only was the bento delicious, it also made her feel a special kind of happiness and satisfaction.

At this moment, Xiao Shui finally faced her own heart and acknowledged what Iba Anshu pointed out last time.

apricot.

you're right.

I do... like him.

After finishing her lunch box, Mizuno Qi laid down on the table and looked sideways at the other booths inside the cafe. She felt warm in her heart, and all her stress and dissatisfaction were dissipated at this moment.

original……

Cursing loudly isn't the only way to release stress...

Thank you, Uehara-san.

You also taught me a lot of new things.

"Where did you go just now?"

Sakura Ayane asked curiously when she saw Uehara Toru coming back.

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "I sent something to Mizuno-san."

"why?"

"Because I owe you a favor."

"…What favor?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"?" Sakura Ayane's heart was filled with strangeness. She felt itchy all of a sudden and a little uncomfortable.

"No, there's nothing to hide from me."

Uehara Tetsu felt puzzled: "But there is nothing to say, because it is my personal matter, right?"

“…That being said…”

"Teacher." Sumire Uesaka walked out from the side and looked at Toru Uesakahara: "Mom wants to ask you, is the art exhibition tomorrow..."

"Yep."

"Okay, I'll definitely go and see it then."

Uehara Toru smiled and patted Uesaka Sumire's head.

Sakura Ayane stood quietly in the back, observing how Toru Uehara behaved gently towards other people, but always seemed cold towards her, which made her feel a little unhappy.

Art exhibition, is he going to hold an art exhibition?

Humph, you didn’t invite me?

Sakura Ayane took out her cell phone and planned to browse it casually to divert her attention.

However, her attention was soon attracted by the bento shared on Mizuno Inori's social media account... She immediately looked up at Uehara Toru, only to see that he still had his back to her, seemingly completely unaware of her presence, which made her cheeks puff up as if they were inflated.

Miss Sakura is very angry and the consequences are serious!

As soon as Miss Sakura returned home, she hurriedly kicked her shoes aside, ran straight to the sofa in the living room, and threw herself on it with a muffled sound.
