I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

no……

Are there any socialites as fierce as you?

Am I at the audition?

-

In the end, the total number of people present exceeded 35, far exceeding the original list of 20. In order to allow everyone to enjoy the food in the same space, Uehara Toru specially cleared the living room and placed an extended large table.

The table was filled with delicious food: roast chicken, cake, pizza, sushi, sashimi, hot soup, cold dishes, etc., decorated like a high-end buffet.

This form of free choice allows everyone to feel more comfortable in a pleasant atmosphere. Voice actors can take their favorite food at will and then find familiar friends to chat with.

People who are not familiar with each other can also take this opportunity to chat and get to know each other.

The entire living room seemed to have turned into a large social venue, with laughter and joy rising one after another, and the festive atmosphere reached its peak in this liveliness.

Because Toru Uehara was the host, the invited voice actors would take the initiative to chat with him. He spent an hour just talking, didn't eat much, and drank very little water.

Sumire Uesaka, who was watching from the side, felt very distressed and was about to give him the drink she had drunk.

"Hey, hey, hey." Mizuno Inori grabbed Uesaka Sumire's wrist with one hand, and her eyes became sharp.

Uesaka Sumire: "What are you doing? I want to bring water to the teacher."

"If you deliver the water, you should at least refill the cup. What's the point of taking the one you've drunk?" The veins on Mizuno Qi's forehead were slightly exposed.

Mizuno Inori and Uesaka Sumire can now be said to know each other well - but this is not what Mizuno Inori originally intended, but because Uesaka Sumire really has no "martial ethics".

Not only did she hide from Mizuno Inori's eyes, she also made perfect use of the trumpet disguise method, almost reaching the level of perfection.

Sumire Uesaka's actions were precise and decisive. As a disc enthusiast, she bought an astonishing number of discs. Others had to buy 50 discs to join the group, but she bought 500 discs in one go, becoming a "top fan" in a dignified manner.

Mizuno Inori thought she had picked up a free-spirited wealthy fan, but she didn't expect that when she finished dubbing on the set of Twin Ponytails and was about to take a break, this girl actually took out her phone and confessed her identity to her directly, exposing herself!

When faced with a guy like this who has no manners, doesn't do any preparation and just charges towards her using the Stone Man and R, Mizuno Qi really has no way to deal with him.

Uesaka Sumire: “I haven’t drunk it.”

"I just saw you take a sip through a straw."

"……cut."

cut?!

Mizuno Inori was speechless at Uesaka Sumire's shamelessness.

Saori Hayami watched the interaction between the two and nodded with interest.

On the other side, Sakura Ayane was grilling the skewers she wanted to eat with Touyama Nana, and the two were also chatting about Toru Uehara.

"Ayane-chan, didn't you say you wanted to sign up for the audition for the second season? I heard it will start in February, so you can take a look at the original work in advance."

佐仓彩音：“9啊，我0已经在看4了，8但是看了一圈4没感觉哪个2角色适合9我啊0。”↑

"It's Isshiki Caiyu." Nana Toyama looked at her without thinking.

I wonder what are you talking about?

Sakura Ayane waved her hands: "No, no, no, Nana, this is a loser character, and a little devil loser, not like me at all."

"..." Toyama Nana's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Loser..."

"Come to think of it, Mr. Wataru hasn't written the ending of the novel yet. Who says Isshiki Iroha will definitely lose?"

Sakura Ayane said with a look of disgust: "This is totally the original author's bad taste. No matter how I look at it, I feel like it's a pure love novel about Yukino."

"If two people don't understand each other, they can't be together."

"Really?" When Nana Toyama heard this, her heart started pounding.

Mutual understanding of minds, so does that mean that Che and I are now in mutual understanding of minds?

Sakura Ayane pondered for a moment, a sly light flashed in her eyes: "Got it, I'll go match up with Senior's ex-girlfriend."

"Is there such a role?" asked Nana Toyama puzzledly.

"That's it, Kaori Orimoto! The girl who rejected Hikigaya Hachiman in junior high school. Isn't that a classic?"

Nana Toyama blinked and thought for a moment: "There is indeed such a role..."

"Well, it's true that this kind of role is the most immersive." Sakura Ayane said this very seriously, and it was obvious that she had already immersed herself in the role.

"…Ayane-chan, I'm glad you're happy." Toyama Nana sighed helplessly. She had long been accustomed to Sakura Ayane's unique personality. Only Ayane could think of such a naughty role choice. No wonder she and Uehara Toru always quarreled fiercely on the radio.

If I were to partner with Che, I would probably be too gentle and polite in the conversation, and the effect would be dull, and it would end in a boring way.

"Ahem, everyone, please make way!"

"Thank you!~~" Renai took the microphone and started to direct, while Takahashi Rie led the way. She had been wearing a Santa Claus costume for a whole day and hadn't changed out yet. I can only say that she is really awesome.

In the back, Ishikawa Kaito, Uchida Yuma, Uehara Toru and Matsuoka Makoto were busy moving musical instruments. The most difficult one to move was undoubtedly the drum set, but the other instruments were relatively easy. Everyone made way and watched them place the instruments in the courtyard in preparation for the upcoming performance.

After the instruments were ready, Renai stood in front of everyone, smiled slightly, and thanked everyone present again: "Well... Although I have met a lot of people just now, you may not know much about my other identity."

She raised her head confidently and continued, "I am the lead singer of 'Thorns Without Thorns', Jingqin Rencai. Today, to celebrate Christmas, our band will play some Christmas songs to bring you some holiday joy." At this point, Rencai's tone was relaxed and natural, her voice was clear and full of confidence.

This is very different from the way she used to mutter on stage. Time and experience have made her gradually mature, and she can control the stage with ease, with a light in her eyes, as if she is ready to bring the best performance to everyone at any time.

Toru Uehara looked at Isen Renna standing on the simple stage, with a smile on his face, walked to her side, gently picked up the violin bag that had been prepared beside her, slowly opened it, and took out the violin.

The other four members of the Thorn Group also arrived. Uehara Toru stood among them, facing the guests in the audience with a gentle smile.

Xiaozhi behind him quietly adjusted the tone of the electric piano, turning it into a clear melody like a music box.

Accompanied by a few clear notes that gently jumped up, Toru Uehara pulled the violin bow, and the familiar melody of "A Christmas Carol" sounded leisurely.

This classic song by ck number was once the theme song of the hit TV series "Nine to Five Three, The Monk Falls in Love with Me" 2. Although it has been a long time, it is still a favorite melody during Christmas.

The sound of the violin is as eye-catching as crystal snowflakes, bringing everyone into the festive atmosphere.

The music progressed slowly, and other accompaniments were added one after another, while Toru Uehara stood aside, looking at Nina quietly.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then her clear voice sounded softly. It was no longer the reckless style of the past, but an emotional, delicate and controlled performance.

"From where came the bells and the untimely words,

Cold but pleasant,

Ah, I have fallen in love like this..."

Renai's singing voice is pure and warm, as if lingering in the winter air, bringing the audience into a state of quiet emotion.

Uehara Toru turned his head slightly to look at her, his eyes full of satisfaction and recognition. Nina has passed the immature stage, and now she is showing her music with a new confidence and gentleness.

The song was coming to an end, and as the last line of lyrics slowly fell, Toru Uehara picked up the violin again and used a melodious melody to bring the performance to a perfect end.

The music gradually faded away, but its lingering sound remained. This song not only added warmth to today's gathering, but also brought a gentle ending to this year.

Next year is coming, bringing new hope and a brand new beginning.

Toru Uehara felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Thinking back to the time when he was still struggling at the bottom of society at the beginning of the year, he couldn't help but feel that the beauty of the moment was like a dream, real and unreal.

Soon after the performance, the room erupted in warm applause.

Renai looked at Uehara Toru with a smile: "Okay, leave the rest of the time to us, we will accompany you and have fun at the party!~"

After putting away the violin, Uehara Toru reached out and rubbed her head vigorously, then said with a smile, "You tell me."

-

This heartwarming Christmas party lasted until midnight. After the voice actors said goodbye one after another, only five familiar figures remained: Rena Ueda, Nana Touyama, Inori Mizuno, Ayane Sakura and Sumire Uesaka.

They voluntarily stayed to help clean up. After all, the garbage and debris left at the scene would take a lot of time for Uehara Toru to deal with it alone.

Uehara Toru looked at their busy figures, rubbed their shoulders, and said with a smile: "You should take a rest soon. You can clean these tomorrow."

Ueda Reina gently exposed him: "By then, Toru-kun, you will probably have dealt with everything, right? We have enjoyed the performance and food tonight enough, it's time for us to contribute."

Nana Touyama also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Toru, don't be polite with us."

Sakura Ayane just glanced at him, snorted lightly, and went to sort the garbage silently with a hint of awkwardness.

Mizuno Inori looked at him with a smile and said softly, "You played the violin really well just now. You are worthy of being Toru-kun."

Sumire Uesaka remained true to her original intention, handed over the drink, and said considerately: "Teacher, drink some water first."

"Thank you." Toru Uehara took the cup with a smile.

Mizuno Qi standing by had her eyes wide open.

But she succeeded!

Christmas has come to a perfect end. Next, it is time to prepare to return home and welcome a new beginning.

It’s time for the settlement phase that Toru Uehara is most looking forward to.

-

A monthly pass is required.

Please.

Volume 129: Chapter Chapter A Popsicle of Friendship

Uehara Toru planned to return to his hometown before his birthday. This year, he took a week off in advance, starting from December 12, and would return to Tokyo to continue working on January 27. Although this six-day vacation was short, it was enough for him, after all, he had not been able to go home for a full New Year for many years.

Before going home, the image of that "dead dad" still appeared in his mind, and he had silently prepared to escape in the middle of the night - who knew if his dad would do something unexpected.

On December 12, Uehara Toru simply packed up his house and set off. He didn't need to bring any luggage, as his clothes had already piled up like a mountain at home. His figure had not changed much since high school, except that his shoulders were slightly wider.

Nina and An He Subaru each brought a small suitcase with a few sets of clothes in it. They also held gifts prepared for Uehara Toru's parents in their hands. They looked a little nervous but also excited.

"What's in here?"

An He Subaru smiled and said, "I gave you the black truffles that you didn't want last time, as well as some dried seafood. I also asked my grandmother to airlift a batch of Kobe beef to me. We can take it directly when the time comes."

Uehara Toru blinked and said, "Subaru, how much assets does your family have?"

"Eh? Um... I'm not really sure, but my parents usually take a taxi when they're not driving."

"Okay, that's pretty good." Toru Uehara stretched out his hand to stop her from continuing.

I don’t know if my father’s hidden little assets are as much as An and Mao. It would be funny if not.

Renai glanced at An and Subaru and said, "What a waste! I didn't bring anything special, just a few albums, a camera, and some photos."

Uehara Toru: "What photo?"

"I won't tell you!" Renai stuck out her tongue.

Uehara Toru saw that both of them were ready, so he smiled and said, "That's all right, let's go pick up the last person."

-

At the station entrance, in the cold winter weather, Sumire Uesaka is still wearing her iconic black skirt. Even though it is freezing cold, she is still calm. It must be said that Sumire Uesaka has excellent innate conditions, with a tight and well-proportioned figure, clear curves, and moist skin. Even in winter, there is no sign of peeling, which makes her particularly eye-catching.

Seeing Uehara Toru, she walked over with a suitcase and a big smile on her face: "Teacher!~"

Finally, he accepted the commission to take care of Sumire.

Of course, Toru Uehara also has his own selfish motives.

His two children are now in bands, which has nothing to do with his career as a voice actor.

However, as her student, Sumire Uesaka is also a rising star in the voice actor industry.

In addition, she likes to speak well of himself whenever she has nothing to do, which has led to some misunderstandings about his image among many juniors.

Every time he heard those rumors about himself, Toru Uehara felt a strange feeling.

Are you talking about me, or some other me in a parallel world?

All in all, Uehara Toru felt that he would gain a lot of face if he brought Kuakua Jin Sumire home.

And Sumire is also a young lady.

Ok……

No matter how rich you are, can you live better than Sumire Saka?

Toru Uehara was in a good mood when he thought about the expression his father might have.

"Put your luggage in the car, and you can sit in the passenger seat later."

"Okay, teacher."
