I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Nina originally wanted to continue provoking, but at this moment, she paused, first turned her head to look at Mizuno Inori and Uehara Toru who were chatting over there, then took a deep breath, and looked at Hina seriously.

"Hina."

"Huh?" Hina was surprised that she was willing to call her name.

"I don't want to talk about the past grudges now, but this is also a problem that must be resolved. But I don't want to say who is right or wrong with my mouth."

Hina smiled slightly at what Nina said, "So?"

"Let the stage speak for itself. How about we find a time next year to have a joint collaboration?"

Hina: "I don't have such great authority, but... if you know Mizuno-senpai, it's not impossible." 8

"But how can we distinguish between winning and losing in the linkage VE?"

Nina: "I don't know, let's decide based on the number of light sticks."

"How casual." Hina smiled.

"But, sure, let's start when you're all ready."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Hina, Nina walked back to Uehara Toru and said excitedly, "We've already made an appointment. We'll find a time to compete again next year, preferably before June. After all, after June I'll start preparing seriously for the Waseda University entrance exam."

After hearing this, Mizuno Inori looked at her in surprise: "Waseda University...?"

Renai puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Yes, Sister Mizuno, isn't that great?"

An He Subaru said bluntly: "Waseda University is great, but you are not great, after all, you haven't been admitted yet."

Xiaozhi, who was standing by, stared at them blankly and couldn't help asking, "Are you all planning to go to college?"

Seeing them working hard for their future, Xiaozhi felt a little guilty. She had already decided to focus on the band, but her reasons were different from many people's. She was more influenced by her family to take this path.

Seeing her friends working hard towards their respective goals, she couldn't help but begin to reflect, with mixed emotions rising in her heart.

"Yes, but don't worry, Xiaozhi, we won't delay the band's affairs. Look, aren't we handling it well now?" An Hesuba was afraid that Xiaozhi would be angry, so he quickly explained.

Although Xiaozhi doesn't talk much, she is actually the one who cares the most about the band's progress. Sometimes she gets even more anxious than the two older sisters Momoka and Rupa.

Xiaozhi: "I know, I didn't question you. If there were any problems in your rehearsal, I would have told you a long time ago, but..."

Uehara Toru: "Do you want to go to college too?"

Xiaozhi nodded slightly, but then shook his head: "I just don't want to be left out."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "With your qualifications, it will be no problem for you to go to college. But in addition to the band, you can continue to participate in piano competitions. Didn't you win the gold medal in the youth level before? In the days to come, you can pay more attention to similar competitions."

"Then you participate, win awards, and if you have enough awards, you can apply directly to universities. Then all you have to do is pass the interview."

Xiaozhi blinked: "Is it really that simple?"

“When you don’t know many channels in this world, it might be difficult, but now it’s different from before.”

"Besides, I guess there's no one else except you who can make it seem like winning a prize in a piano competition is a very simple thing," Toru Uehara teased.

Xiaozhi pursed his lips and said, "Compared to many other things, it is indeed much simpler than I thought."

Mizuno Inori blinked and suddenly realized that the people around Uehara Toru, both men and women, seemed to be the best in their respective fields. Fortunately, she was quite popular at the moment, otherwise it would seem that she had nothing to show for it.

She smiled and reminded: "If you really succeed in getting an award or an admission letter from Waseda University, these achievements can also become the added value of your band."

She paused and continued, "You can share it on your social media accounts. It will definitely cause a big response. This world always pays special attention to geniuses."

"Indeed," Uehara Toru nodded in agreement, "Making good use of your own advantages will help you gain recognition faster."

With the encouraging words of the two, Renai, An, Subaru, and Xiaozhi all felt a burning desire to go home and work hard to improve themselves. It seemed that their future goals had become clearer.

The trip to the amusement park has not yet ended, and a five-minute fireworks show is about to take place in the night sky before the park closes.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed one after another, decorating the night sky with colorful brilliance. The tail flames of the fireworks crossed the sky. Although they were short-lived and disappeared quickly like a meteor, they left an indelible moment of beauty in everyone's heart.

The four of them quietly looked up at the blooming lights and shadows, their hearts filled with an indescribable happiness.

For Inori Mizuno, the experience almost rivaled the pure joy of her first time at Disney.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Uehara Toru beside her. A soft desire rose in her heart, and she wanted to suggest: "Do you want to do it again next year?"

But the next second, she took back what she said.

It doesn't have to be Disney. Any place, any time, as long as he is by my side, seems to be extremely precious and satisfying.

The fireworks slowly dissipated in the night sky. The breeze blew gently, taking away the ashes of the fireworks, but it could not take away the gentle throbbing in her heart.

……

In the evening, after a long absence, Mizuno Nori returned to her parents' home. As soon as she stepped into the house, she was greeted by a bunch of fireworks. Before she could calm down, she saw her father pushing a cake cart with candles lit slowly towards her. In the flickering candlelight, her father's face was full of gentle smiles.

"Happy birthday, my dear daughter!~"

The mother also smiled and opened her arms: "Yousha, welcome home!~"

Mizuno Qi couldn't help but wrinkled her nose, and said helplessly: "I told you, don't call me by this name... Call me Qi."

Despite this, her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were full of soft light. She lowered her head to look at the lit candlelight and said softly: "But... I'm back."

This familiar warmth and the love between relatives made her feel extremely happy.

In mid-December, Toru Uehara looked at the list of new anime for next April and looked at his agent, Ms. Aoki, with some surprise.

"Why is it so fast this time? Don't auditions usually start around February?"

"Well~ Of course it's because you, Uehara-kun, are no longer the same as you were before. On the other hand, there are still some new episodes in January that haven't been selected yet. The main reason is that their progress is very erratic and not that stable."

"Are there any new anime in January... Let me take a look."

"I strongly recommend you to participate in this one."

"Tsuburbaya Co., Ltd.?"

"SSSS Gulit." Toru Uehara read out the name on the list and blinked.

Ms. Aoki grinned and said, "To be honest, although you now have quite a few representative works, you still lack the kind of works that can really penetrate the lower-level market."

"Is it a lack of awareness among children?"

"Right, so this kind of special effects work is your best entry point. You can really give it a try. However, Tsuburaya's requirements are a little different from normal animations. It's not enough to just be fully prepared. You also need a good eye for it, as well as various unexpected things."

"I see." Uehara Toru nodded.

"Okay, I'll try."

"There is one more thing I recommend you try."

"'Invasion'?"

"Right." Ms. Aoki chuckled and said, "Mr. Uehara, didn't you always tell me that you wanted a role that suits your nature, or that can liberate yourself?"

"Not many people are willing to take on this kind of role, after all, the character is too hard to figure out, so there is a vacancy now."

Jiu "But, I think it meets your requirements."

"The protagonist?"

"It can be considered the protagonist, but it can also be considered a supporting role." Ms. Aoki smiled and took out her iPad to show the character's picture and a detailed introduction.

The man in the second picture has a scary hole on his head, a blue Mohawk haircut, and a sinister aura. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he is a bit careless, but his eyes are icy cold, revealing an extremely dangerous feeling. He is like a natural killer, full of chilling oppression.

He looks like a murderer, and in fact he is pretty much it.

3. This character is the one who will make a hole in the heroine's head in the early plot.

Uehara Toru was attracted to him at first sight, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "It's really great, Ms. Aoki, this role..."

"Right!"

"Thank you for helping me find this information."

"No need, it's all my job. Are you sure it's these two roles? And the list of new anime in April..."

"Well, let's wait until I pass the audition. There's no rush." ​​Uehara Toru knew that one can't become fat by eating one bite, and being too greedy is not good.

However, in this case, when the new series is broadcast in January next year, if I can pass the current two auditions, a total of five main characters will appear in front of the audience.

Finally, I have caught up with Senior Zhencheng a little bit.

Although Toru Uehara has no enemies in the voice actor industry, he also has his own benchmark or goal in his mind.

Matsuoka Makoto is undoubtedly one of them.

Moreover, although he and Matsuoka Makoto are good friends, there will definitely be one or even more opportunities for them to compete for roles.

"You're right. The script will be sent to the company tomorrow. Please use the remaining time to prepare well." Miss Aoki was very respectful to him.

Although there is a sense of alienation, it better reflects her business ability.

It's not that Toru Uehara is going to say bad things about his brothers.

After spending some time together, he suddenly realized that it was not unreasonable for Xiaotian to be promoted. Looking back, Xiaotian's previous performance was not up to the professional level of Miss Aoki. Not to mention the ability to compete for resources, Miss Aoki seemed to be at ease in terms of data scheduling and handling interpersonal relationships.

Oda often encountered obstacles and made slow progress, but Ms. Aoki seemed to be very familiar with the situation and easily solved every problem. This comparison made him realize that Ms. Aoki's efficiency and professionalism had indeed brought about a completely different change in his work and life.

Um, he really is not saying bad things about his brothers.

"Well, Uehara-kun, I have one more thing I want to ask of you."

"What?" Toru Uehara perked up and looked at Miss Aoki.

"That is, can you please tell Mr. Oda not to send me so many non-work related messages every day? I am still very busy and tired. I really don't have time to deal with this kind of social etiquette."

"……OK."

Toru Uehara silently typed the word "sad" for Oda.

You are rejected by your goddess.

-

Time is passing slowly, especially in the last half month of auditions. Uehara Toru first participated in ssss Gulit.

The audition this time was really a bit weird, the audition itself was no longer the usual kind seen in the industry where everyone gets together and can watch each other’s performances for the audition, but instead they were isolated individually.

And after the audition, there will be an interview session.

There is an interview session for voice actors, which can only be said to be quite abstract. However, it also indirectly shows that when special effects companies cross over to make animations, the requirements are indeed different.

The questions asked in the interview were also quite strange, such as asking.

Do you love special effects?

How much do you know about special effects?

Have you ever imagined that you could sit in a robot and fight against aliens?

These sound like questions you would ask a child.

Toru Uehara felt that there was no point in giving a false answer, so he just answered honestly.

Question one.

no love.

Question 2.

I know a lot because I looked up the information.

Question three.

Never fantasized.

What stands out is a sincere heart, rather than the all-sure superman.

After all, Miss Aoki also told me that just because you have made sufficient preparations doesn’t mean you will be selected, so just be yourself.

After receiving Toru Uehara's answer, the staff at Tsuburaya Productions fell into silence.

The producer who was watching him record the video in real time nodded.

"Good, let's choose this person."

"Eh? But didn't he say..."

"It doesn't really matter what you say. No matter how many nice words you say, what's the point if your business skills are not up to par? Besides... originally, children's dreams were created by dirty adults like us with messy minds. It seems like we are protecting dreams, but aren't we actually protecting money?"
