I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"Besides, who asked you to buy it?" Toru Uehara snatched the album from his hand, put it in his arms, then took Sumire Uesaka's hand and quickly got into the car.

"You kid! If you dare to take such a messy job and embarrass yourself again, I will--!" Uehara Goki waved his hands angrily behind him.

With the car windows closed, Uehara Toru couldn't hear his father's roar at all. He took a deep breath, started the car, and quickly drove away from this troubled place.

Before leaving, he waved to his mother, signaling her to take care of herself. As for Uehara Goki... it's fine if he's alive or dead!

Inside the car, Sumire Uesaka secretly glanced at Toru Uehara who was sitting in the driver's seat. His face was slightly flushed, and he was obviously extremely ashamed, but he tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened.

Looking at him like this, Sumire Uesaka suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, and felt very uncomfortable.

The car slowly drove out of the village. Uehara Toru looked through the window and saw a familiar figure standing not far away - it was Xiaohua.

Xiaohua rode her bicycle and waved at him: "Che!"

Uehara Toru rolled down the window and asked with some confusion: "Why are you riding a bike here?"

"I'll ride with you for a while!" Xiaohua smiled innocently, the sunlight shining on her face seemed to illuminate everything around her.

Seeing her like this, the awkwardness and emptiness that still remained in Uehara Teshin's head slowly dissipated. He slowed down the car and drove forward with Xiaohua.

However, Xiaohua suddenly said, "You don't have to slow down to accompany me! Just drive normally, and I'll chase you from behind!"

Uehara Toru raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Okay."

He slowly stepped on the accelerator, and the car gradually increased in speed. Xiaohua's figure gradually became smaller in the rearview mirror, and was left behind.

When he was about to roll up the car window, he heard Xiaohua's cry in the wind.

"Che, you must continue your career smoothly in the future! You must also find your own happiness!"

"Next time I come back, I'll save a bunch of interesting stories to tell you!"

"goodbye--!!"

The sound of the wind whistled and faded away, and Xiaohua's voice became unclear, but her purest blessing had already been deeply conveyed to Toru Uehara's heart.

He slowly rolled up the car window, retracted his gaze, and cast his eyes toward the road ahead. Uesaka Sumire, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him quietly and noticed a rare glimmer of light in the corner of his eyes.

The teacher...is crying.

Sumire Uesaka didn't say anything, but just looked at him silently, feeling a little more tenderness towards this person in her heart.

At this point, this New Year's journey to the countryside came to an end.

-

After arriving in Tokyo, Toru Uehara first sent Sumire Uesaka to her home. After a brief chat with Mrs. Uesaka, he returned to his own home, ready to seriously devote himself to the next work. The most urgent thing at the moment is the dubbing work of "Invasion". Since the planning is still in an imperfect state, the subsequent plot and script are not completely determined, and even need to be adjusted at any time according to the progress. Toru Uehara decided to give priority to studying this work.

He first went to the office to get the script.

After arriving at the office, he got the script of "Invasion" from Ms. Aoki. When Ms. Aoki saw him, she smiled and said, "Mr. Uehara, it seems that you had a good vacation. You look radiant."

"It's OK." Uehara Toru responded casually, "Ms. Aoki, are you on vacation?"

Ms. So Aoki smiled and said, "Well... I took two days off." She recalled her vacation - she spent the first day at home catching up on sleep, and the second day she was dragged by Oda to see a plastic model exhibition. As a result, she was extremely disappointed with this "unfortunate date" and had already begun to consider temporarily shutting down her body and mind to focus on work.

: Uehara Tetsu saw her subtle expression and asked tentatively: "Oda sent me a message saying that he had a lot of fun with you?"

"Ah...haha, it's okay." Miss Aoki forced a smile.

"Do you need me to help you warn him?" Toru Uehara teased.

Miss Aoki hesitated for a moment, and finally waved her hand: "Forget it, no need, I'll talk to him myself next time."

2. "Okay." Toru Uehara nodded slightly. Looking at Miss Aoki's attitude, he thought to himself: Oda is quite capable. Although this date was obviously not to Miss Aoki's liking, she did not completely close the door.

I wish you good luck and a successful start.

3After taking the script, Toru Uehara walked out of the office and accidentally saw the door of the practice room. He walked forward and looked inside, only to find that no one was inside. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he ran into two familiar figures - Aoki Haruna and Kohinata Mika.

"Senior!" The two seemed flattered to see Toru Uehara and greeted him quickly.

Uehara Toru smiled at them and said, "Hello, why are you still here?"

"We were just about to start practicing." Hinata Mika answered with her head slightly lowered.

"Are you two the only ones here?" Uehara Toru asked with a hint of confusion.

Aoki Haruna sighed and said with a bit of disappointment: "Yes, the others have been eliminated, and now we are the only ones left."

Hearing this, Uehara Toru was a little surprised, but then nodded and encouraged: "Then work harder. Since the opportunity is in front of you, try your best to seize it."

When the two heard his advice, they immediately showed gratitude on their faces and nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will work hard!"

Watching them walk into the practice room full of fighting spirit, Uehara Toru smiled. He believed that as long as they had enough resilience and enthusiasm, these two newcomers would eventually have their own stage.

The future belongs to those who are willing to persevere.

-

Toru Uehara brought the script of "Alien Invasion" to a coffee shop near the office, found a quiet corner to sit down, and began to read seriously.

His eyes wandered back and forth on the script, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, thinking about how to better interpret the complex role of "Dong Ge".

However, he was not the only one visiting the cafe today.

Mizuno Inori and Sakura Ayane happened to be sitting not far away. After the two ordered drinks, they chatted in low voices, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Recently, Xiaoshui's personality has changed a bit. Her dark attributes have been reduced a lot, and she has gradually found her purer and more real self.

This change also allowed her to rebuild trust with Sakura Ayane, and the two finally returned to true "good sisters mode."

It's not that they are just plastic sisters on the surface, but a relationship in which they can be honest with each other and share their thoughts.

But the better the relationship, the more information will be exposed.

Xiaoshui now acts like a girl deeply in love. From time to time, she mentions the name of her senior and the violin she has been learning recently, with admiration and excitement in her tone.

"Ayane, what do you think of my current playing level?"

"Hmm?" Sakura Ayane, who was a little distracted, quickly replied: "I think it's great. Now that I have this level, I can show it directly in a performance."

"Really? But my teacher said I'm still a long way from that, and my hasty approach won't work."

"Your teacher is talking nonsense, don't listen to him."

Sakura Ayane is even more brainless than Uesaka Sumire when it comes to affirming Mizuno Inori, because she is currently playing the role of a super caring older sister, so she basically doesn't even look at the question and gives the answer directly.

Although it is a bit formulaic, Xiaoshui surprisingly finds it very useful.

This child likes others to praise her, but also cares about negative comments, which is why she has been blackened many times on the Internet.

"That makes sense. I'll just keep practicing like this. It should be enough for the concert in March or April."

After Mizuno Qi finished her drink, she stood up from her seat.

"I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Yeah, go ahead." Sakura Ayane said to Mizuno Inori with a smile.

But not long after she left, he began to stir the ice in the glass with a straw out of boredom.

Hey.

I don’t know what my senior has been doing during his vacation. When he returned to his hometown, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Wouldn't it be nice to upload an Instagram or X and do some business?

Miss Sakura is a person who cares about her reputation, so unless there is something special, she would not disturb others when they are on vacation.

Looking at the light and shadow reflected by the ice in the cup, she stretched and prepared to ask the waiter to order another drink. As a result, when she stood up, she saw Uehara Toru sitting in the corner and concentrating on reading the script.

?!change

She was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened. It must be him, right?! :

This discovery instantly brought her out of her lazy state and made her feel refreshed. She walked lightly and approached Uehara Toru who was reading the script carefully. When she walked to his side, she heard him muttering in a low voice:

"Opening a hole in your head will make you feel cool, and you will gradually understand many things that you could not understand before..."

"Very comfortable……"

Sakura Ayane had originally intended to greet him in a playful way, but after hearing these muttered words, she couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust.

"Senior, what are you looking at? Are you going to kill someone later?"

The familiar voice, the familiar faint fragrance, and the familiar pretty face made Uehara Toru raise his head and immediately meet her gaze.

"You cut your hair short." he blurted out.

"..." Sakura Ayane was stunned, and her face quickly turned red. Apart from Xiao Shui, even her mother didn't care much about the short hair. Unexpectedly, Senior noticed it at a glance.

"Yes, yes, senior...does it look good?" Her voice softened a little, with some shyness.

"Yeah, not bad, short hair suits you very well."

"Eh..." Sakura Ayane's ears turned red, and she couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

However, the next second, Uehara Toru's words petrified her instantly.

"Can you lift your hair up so I can see it?"

"..." Sakura Ayane's smile froze, and she asked defensively: "Senior, do you want to see my hairline? Although I am not losing my hair, I think you are being rude."

"No," Uehara Toru waved his hand seriously, saying in a serious tone, "I just want to study where is the best place to make a hole in your head."

“……?!” Sakura Ayane suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and her hair stood on end in an instant.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?" She took a step back and looked at him warily.

Uehara Toru looked at her genuine reaction and chuckled, "So that's how it is. I understand."

"Sakura, how about acting with me?" he suddenly suggested, his tone serious.

"Now, now?" Sakura Ayane's heart moved. Of course she wanted to agree, but when she thought about how she had just come here with Xiaoshui and the latter was still in the bathroom, she was in a dilemma for a moment.

Volume 135: Chapter Chapter The road is getting wider and wider

Sakura Ayane thought about it for a while and finally decided not to worry about it anymore.

Anyway, her relationship with her senior was not something to be ashamed of, so she might as well bring Xiao Shui over to participate. However... this somewhat violated the principle she had set for herself: never appearing in front of Uehara Toru at the same time as Xiao Shui.

She sighed softly, feeling in her heart: I am really a great sister.

"Sorry, my dear, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do later. But Xiaoshui is here too, you can ask her to act with you." She said with a smile, "Anyway, didn't you learn your acting skills from her? Her acting is better than mine, so practicing more will help you."

Uehara Toru nodded and replied seriously: "That's true."

"..." Sakura Ayane almost choked, her expression slightly stiff. No, I was just being modest, but why did you admit it? Shouldn't you deny it and praise me at this time?

If Sakura Ayane still has the potential to become a talented actress, she must be able to cry in three seconds. As a result, her eyes were already red in this second.

Uehara Toru looked at her and added with a smile: "But her short hair is definitely not as good-looking as yours."

"..." Sakura Ayane was stunned for a moment, and her anger disappeared faster than turning a page. She snorted coldly, but her eyes were somewhat smug, and she glanced at him coldly.

At this time, Xiao Shui just came out of the bathroom and saw Sakura Ayane standing aside with a bad expression on her face. She was wondering who she was chatting with, but when she got closer, it was that familiar face.

"Tetsu-kun!" Mizuno Qi's smile instantly bloomed.

"Xiao Shui, long time no see." Uehara Toru waved at her.

"It's been a while... half a month?" Mizuno Inori recalled, with some regret in her tone. She used to pursue both efficiency and quality when working, but recently she felt that Uehara Toru seemed to be too efficient, resulting in very little time for them to do dubbing together, which was a pity.

Mizuno Inori thought that when she dubbed "Re:0", it took her at least three months. Although this is also related to the overall length of the work, it is still a comparison.

Noticing that Sakura Ayane still had that sour face towards Uehara Toru, Mizuno Inori couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Are you guys always like this?"

Sakura Ayane was stunned and subconsciously looked at Uehara Toru.

"Yes, that's how it is with Sakura," Uehara Toru answered without hesitation.

Mizuno Qi blinked and said curiously: "Is that so? Ayane has a good temper when she is with me, why are you so…"

"It's just that our horoscopes are not compatible." Sakura Ayane curled her lips, looking as if she was too lazy to explain.

She then turned to Mizuno Inori and said, "Xiao Shui, I have other things to do later, so I'll leave first. It just so happens that Senior needs someone to act with, so come and help him."

"Eh? So fast?"

"Yeah, work always comes up suddenly." Sakura Ayane waved her hand casually, with a hint of nonchalance in her tone.

"Really? That can't be helped." Mizuno Qi nodded and said gently, "Ayane, be careful on the road."

3. "Yeah." Sakura Ayane responded nonchalantly. Before leaving, she turned her head and glanced at the two people who were chatting animatedly. The corners of her mouth twitched, but she said nothing.
