I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Seeing this, Touyama Nana smiled cheerfully: "Tetsu, if you need a car, just tell me, I can lend you my car. Anyway, I won't be able to use it for a while, after all, I'm about to prepare for my personal tour."

Mizuno Inori's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she couldn't help but ask, "Senior Nana, which cities are you going to perform in this tour?"

"Just call me Nana!" Toushan Nana smiled, her tone somewhat intimate, "We have known each other for a while, and you can call me 'Che-kun', so you can be more casual with me."

Mizuno Qi was slightly startled, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

She is okay with others, but when facing Rena Ueda and Nana Toyama, she always seems reserved and distant.

Moreover, with her woman's intuition, she could sense that these two people had feelings for Uehara Toru - just not as obvious as Sumire.

"Well... the tour schedule is Osaka, Sendai, Fukuoka, and finally back to Tokyo." Toyama Nana counted on her fingers.

"Four games..." Mizuno Inori nodded, "It sounds like it will be very hard."

"Yeah." Nana smiled and sighed softly, "But this is my first tour, so I'm a little nervous. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Xiaoshui, do you have any suggestions?"

４These words brought the two closer together. Mizuno Inori thought carefully and gave suggestions one by one, while Toyama Nana listened attentively and nodded occasionally.

On the other side, Toru Uehara and Reina Ueda also chatted. After this period of adjustment, and after getting along with Nana Toyama, Rie Takahashi and others, Reina Ueda's mentality has stabilized a lot. She is no longer as worried about gains and losses as before, but has become more calm.

Wu "Just keep a normal mind." Nana once said to her, "Treat Toru as an ordinary friend, don't expect too much, the result may be better."

Reina Ueda couldn't help but smile when she thought of these words.

4. She had already heard the news that Toru Uehara and Ayane Sakura had broken up, but she was not surprised at all.

That relationship was a little subtle from the beginning. Whether it was the way Toru Uehara told her or the sense of haste, it didn't seem real.

"Tetsu-kun, what does it feel like to be in love?"

In the past, Rena Ueda would never ask such a question easily, but at this moment her tone was relaxed and casual, as if she was chatting about an ordinary topic.

Uehara Toru was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "It hurts and it's fun, but when I recall it, I feel good."

"Like work?"

"Yes, just like work." Toru Uehara gave a gentle smile.

"I see." Rena Ueda nodded slightly, as if she understood something.

"Reina, how is Kotaro doing recently?" Toru Uehara suddenly changed the subject and mentioned her cat.

"I've lost some weight, not as fat as before, and I've been a little listless lately."

"Then I'll go and see it some other day."

"Why can't it be today?" Rena Ueda asked puzzledly.

Toru Uehara was stunned and couldn't help feeling a little surprised: Why does it seem that Reina is more proactive than before, and her personality has changed a bit?

However, before he could speak, Ueda Reina smiled slightly, looked at him softly and said, "It missed you very much."

The breeze blew, ruffling her hair, and the sunlight shone on her face, casting a warm halo.

Uehara Toru looked a little dazed, but soon recovered and said with a smile: "Sure, but we have to wait until the tow truck tows the car away."

"Then we'll wait with you." Toyama Nana said with a smile, then turned to look at Mizuno Inori, "Xiao Shui, you should be okay later, right? How about we accompany Toru-kun to the car dealership, and then go to Reina's house together and take a rest."

"Eh? I..." Mizuno Qi hesitated.

Before she could refuse, Toushan Nana smiled and took her hand, saying in a friendly and playful tone: "Don't be polite, just think of it as relaxing for a while!"

"Okay... okay." Mizuno Qi lowered her head and agreed, feeling that she was completely controlled by these two seniors.

So, with the tacit cooperation of Nana Toyama and Rena Ueda, today's itinerary was finalized.

-

The tow truck finally arrived, and Uehara Toru checked with the insurance company staff and signed the necessary documents. After everything was arranged, he walked to the car parked on the side of the road, where several female voice actors were chatting happily.

"They said the repair would take three weeks, or even nearly a month. The efficiency is really slow." Toru Uehara complained helplessly as he opened the car door.

Nana Touyama, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, smiled and looked back: "It's okay, Toru-kun, you can use my car when the time comes. Just remember to pick me up when I return to Tokyo after the tour."

When she mentioned the second time to borrow the car, Uehara Toru thought for a moment, then stopped refusing and nodded in agreement: "Okay, thank you then."

"You're welcome~" Toushan Nana showed her usual playful smile, "Hurry up and get in the car, we're leaving!"

"it is good."

Toru Uehara got in the car and sat in the back seat with Inori Mizuno.

The car started slowly and drove into the street.

Reina Ueda glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror. One of the people was leaning back in the chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if digesting the trivial things that had just happened; the other one was staring out the window nervously, obviously not yet recovered from the little accident.

During the brief stop at the traffic light, Nana Toyama and Rena Ueda's eyes met by chance.

The two of them said nothing, just smiled gently, and understood each other.

Ever since Nana Toujiu took the initiative to approach them, their relationship has broken the ice from competition and become true good friends. ~

Although they may not be able to talk about anything like Rie Takahashi, they now trust each other and have a tacit understanding.

More importantly, as this friendship was established, the two reached an unspoken agreement: not to drag each other down, not to fight or compete, and whoever achieves happiness will be blessed by the other.

Reina Ueda once regretted giving the notebook to Nana Toyama that day, but now she thinks that it might not be a bad thing.

If it weren't for that incident, she might not have had a true friend like she does now, and she would not have been able to hear so many comforting truths from Nana Toyama.

Through the car window, she looked at the street scene that was constantly receding, and a sense of peace emerged in her heart. The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the buildings in the distance, reflecting the whole city softly and warmly.

-

"Is this type of car crash-resistant?" Xiaoshui asked the staff at the Honda flagship store seriously.

The staff member was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this question: "This... depends on the specific situation."

Uehara Toru at the side couldn't help but laugh: "If you want a car that is crash-resistant, you should choose an imported foreign brand, which may be more reliable."

"For example, what brand?" Xiao Shui turned and looked at him, her eyes serious.

"Wait a moment, I'll search it for you." Toru Uehara took out his cell phone and said as he did so.

The staff member quickly interrupted, trying to save his own situation: "Guest, if you are worried about safety, our car models are equipped with the latest intelligent driving risk avoidance function, and the safety can definitely let you rest assured!"

However, Xiao Shui completely ignored him and moved closer to Uehara Tetsu to look at the pictures and vehicle information on his phone. Coincidentally, Uehara Tetsu also found a video about car crash tests, and several people watched and discussed it. After watching it, they had to admit that those imported cars, especially German and Swedish brands, were indeed better in terms of crash resistance and safety.

Uehara Toru couldn't help but tease Jiu: "Xiao Shui... you are not planning to be a killer on Ma Silu, are you?"

"No!" Mizuno Inori shook her head vigorously, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice, "Tetsu-kun, I just want to ensure my own safety."

Nana Touyama also came over and added with a smile: "But Xiaoshui, if you buy this kind of imported car, it may be a bit troublesome to park it. The car body is relatively large and it is not easy to find a parking space."

Mizuno Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a problem."

At this time, Ueda Reina, who had been observing from the side, also spoke up: "If that's the case, I do know a car that's suitable for Xiaoshui."

"What car?" Xiaoshui asked curiously.

"Subaru." Rena Ueda said with a smile on her face.

"Subaru?" Mizuno Inori didn't react for a moment.

Ueda Reina laughed softly: "Although the name is the same as Subaru-chan, this is a car brand. Subaru cars have very high safety performance. My father drives this brand."

"Then I'll go check it out later?"

At this time, the Honda flagship store staff standing nearby was completely speechless. He looked at this group of customers who ignored his sales efforts and complained in his heart:

These people have no respect for my work at all.

-

The group finally arrived at the next car dealership, and after looking at a round of models, they finally decided on the Subaru BRZ. The classic blue color of this car not only suits Xiaoshui's aesthetic taste, but also has a bit of low-key publicity, and he fell in love with it almost at first sight.

What is even more surprising is that Xiaoshui's car-buying process can be described as "swift and decisive" - ​​her payment action is exactly the same as Uehara Toru's, which fully reflects the willfulness of money. She didn't even think about bargaining, and even almost forgot the preferential gift given by the car dealership in the store. It was only after the salesperson took the initiative to remind her that she was allowed to take it away.

The price of this car is almost the same as that of Uehara Toru's.

"Hey, Xiaoshui, you are really rich." Uehara Toru exclaimed.

"Eh? No, no...it's just so-so?" Mizuno Qi waved her hands, looking a little embarrassed.

Nana Touyama came over at the right time and asked with a smile: "Xiao Shui, can you tell us your approximate income? It will be a reference for us."

After all, as a member of society, it is normal to be sensitive about income. They usually don't take the initiative to ask, but since the topic has come to this, it is naturally not rude.

Mizuno Qi hesitated for a moment, looked at Uehara Toru, and after getting his tacit consent, she confidently said a number.

The car suddenly became quiet.

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence, Nana Touyama took a deep breath and said, "This number... I feel like I have worked in vain for so many years."

Ueda Reina couldn't help but sigh: "I feel the same way."

"Hey, don't be so exaggerated, seniors." Mizuno Qi smiled bitterly and waved his hands, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Don't be so modest." Uehara Toru teased, "You know, the combined income of your three predecessors may not be as much as yours alone."

Normally, voice actors’ salaries can’t be this high, not even the top ones.

The reason why Xiaoshui is so rich is that she became famous through animation very smoothly and quickly, and then immediately announced her debut as a singer, making money through singing performances and various peripheral products.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the recent Thorny or Thornless.

His current voice actor salary is barely enough to pay for half a year's rent, and the landlord just renewed his contract, and the Ci Tuan also paid half of his rent.

Now, Renai's savings have exceeded one million, a figure that not only makes her feel at ease, but also far exceeds the band's original goal of "five people pooling one million". Moreover, according to Renai, they only use half of the money for personal use, and the other half is deposited into the band's account, which is managed by Rupa and used for future operating expenses.

Recently, the group even plans to purchase professional video equipment to officially start video content production and social platform operations. It can be predicted that in the near future, Rencai and her friends' income will continue to rise.

Toru Uehara couldn't help but sigh that he, a man who lived on the salary of a voice actor, would probably soon be left far behind by these girls in the band.

-

The group arrived at Reina Ueda's home. As soon as they entered the house, the fresh air that hit them was refreshing. The green plants in the house were scattered in an orderly manner, and almost every corner was dotted with different kinds of plants, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.

On a table not far away, a cat was lying quietly, staring at the guests who suddenly broke in with a slightly sad expression.

"Kotaro!" Uehara Toru's eyes lit up, and he immediately took off his shoes and walked forward quickly. He squatted down, stretched out his hand in front of Kotaro, and let it smell his scent.

Kotaro sniffed slowly and confirmed the familiar scent, but the cat's eyes still showed a sense of melancholy. It just meowed softly, then lay back down, without any enthusiasm.

"What's wrong with it?" Toru Uehara looked back at Rena Ueda in confusion.

Ueda Reina covered her mouth and chuckled: "You've been heartbroken."

"Broken heart?" Uehara Toru was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Tetsu-kun, have you forgotten? The last time I brought it to your house, it kept chasing your Xiaoxue. As a result, it was thrown off by Xiaoxue several times and scratched twice. It became like this after returning home." Ueda Rena said, unable to help laughing.

After hearing her explanation, Uehara Tetsuya couldn't help laughing, and reached out to gently touch Kotaro's head: "I see, then this time it really is in the same boat - I just broke up with my boyfriend."

"Meow~" Kotaro called softly, as if responding to Toru Uehara.

"I'll go and persuade Xiaoxue some other day?" Toru Uehara continued to tease Kotaro.

"Meow~" This time, Kotaro's voice was a little higher, as if to express agreement.

Uehara Tetsu simply picked up Kotaro and stroked his fur gently. After a while, Kotaro relaxed and began to purr comfortably.

Mizuno Inori, who was standing by, looked at this heartwarming scene with her eyes lit up: "So cute!~"

However, her tone and eyes were ambiguous, as if she was praising Kotaro, but also seemed to be talking about Toru Uehara who was holding the cat.

Nana Toyama has always been straightforward. She sat down next to Toru Uehara without any hesitation. After making sure that her sitting posture would not expose her underwear, she patted her soft thighs and said to Kotaro in a coquettish voice: "Come on, Kotaro, let me hug you too~"

Her sweet and natural chord sounds are clearly a way of acting coquettish, but they make people feel cute and not pretentious, just like the natural voices of Hanazawa Kana and Kugimiya Rie.

Kotaro seemed to feel the sincerity and warmth from Nana, and slowly recovered his spirit.

It approached her on its own initiative, and finally dived into her arms, purring with satisfaction.

"So good, so good~" Nana Toyama caressed Kotaro and praised him softly. It seemed that there was a maternal power in Nana Toyama's petite body.

At this time, Ueda Reina poked her head out of the kitchen and asked with a smile: "We have a lot of ingredients at home, do you want to eat hot pot together tonight?"

"Sure, anything is fine." Uehara Toru nodded, "Do you need my help?"

Ueda Reina waved her hand and said, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come to my house, so let me entertain you."
