I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"Then let me help!" Mizuno Qi raised his hand and volunteered.

Upon hearing this, Uehara Toru's eyes became subtle. He had heard Sakura Ayane complain that Xiao Shui's cooking skills were almost like "a witch making medicine", and every time he ate her food, it was like signing a risk agreement to donate.

He coughed and asked tentatively: "Xiao Shui... do you want to reconsider it?"

≥Another similarity』〕"Temple!' Swollen turn: Mizuno Qi tilted his head, looking puzzled: "Why?"

Ueda Reina quickly tried to smooth things over, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, Xiaoshui, I will watch by the side and won't let you be busy alone."

She then looked at Toyama Nana and said, "Nana, go to the refrigerator and get some drinks for Toru-kun."

"Okay!" Nana Toyama gently put down Torataro from her arms, patted her skirt, stood up gracefully and walked towards the refrigerator.

She opened the refrigerator and picked out a few bottles of soda and juice, but unexpectedly found a few bottles of sake.

She blinked and asked with some excitement: "Huh? There's still wine!"

"Drink some if you want." Rena Ueda responded casually.

When Mizuno Qi heard the word "wine", he immediately remembered the time when he was drunk and acted crazy on the street.

The only witness to that dark history was Toru Uehara. Although she felt extremely ashamed, she also had a strange feeling of "happiness mixed with misery" because of it.

Nana Touyama looked back at Toru Uehara and asked with a smile: "Tru, do you want to drink? We have wine~"

Uehara Toru shook his head and said casually, "If I drink, no one will be able to drive later. You guys drink, and I'll be the driver."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite!" Nana Toyama smiled happily, took out two bottles of sake from the refrigerator, and walked back to the living room with them.

"Chiju Kubota?" Toru Uehara glanced at the bottle and recognized that it was a fruity sake with a low alcohol content. It even tasted a bit like a beverage.

"Yeah~" Nana Toyama said with a smile, opened a bottle and poured it into the glass, then took a sip. Sure enough, the sweet and refreshing taste made her eyes light up.

Because tonight's dinner is hot pot, it does not require too many complicated cooking skills. Everyone worked together to wash and cut the vegetables, and then put them neatly on the round table.

The soup base was also quickly prepared. It was a pot of rich mushroom soup that exuded an alluring aroma that made one's mouth water just by smelling it.

Uehara Toru watched all this and felt that it was somewhat familiar. Sure enough, he heard Ueda Rena's explanation not long after.

"Because of you, Toru-kun, I've recently become particularly interested in Chinese cuisine," Ueda Reina said with a smile, "and then I learned that some places over there like to use mushroom soup for hot pot, so I'm going to try it today."

Uehara Toru nodded, a smile on his face: "I see."

"Okay, the dishes are ready, just put whatever you like in there." said Rena Ueda.

Nana Touyama raised her glass and suggested excitedly: "Well~ let's not talk too much, let's have a toast first!"

"Cheers!" everyone said in unison.

The heat rises with the soup base, and a light mist shrouds the round table. Eating hot pot in the slightly cool late spring of April is a bit subtle, but it has a unique taste.

Toru Uehara looked at the three female voice actors in front of him and felt a faint sense of warmth in his heart.

Everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

They chatted about their recent work, interesting things in the workplace, and bits and pieces of life, and each had a lot to share. Just when everything was casual, Sakura Ayane was inevitably mentioned.

"Tetsu-kun, I saw some photos Ayane sent me before," Ueda Reina said, "before you broke up...did you go to a lot of places together?"

"more or less."

He discovered that even though Sakura Ayane wasn't around right now, her presence was still strong.

Every time he talked about something related to her, or passed by some familiar places, he would always unconsciously recall her reaction.

"Can you tell us about it?" Toyama Nana squinted her tipsy eyes and held her face with both hands. Her cheeks were red from drinking some wine, like ripe apples. She looked cute and lovable. "We are all very interested in the love story between colleagues."

Mizuno Qi silently took a sip of wine and did not respond. It was obvious that she was not interested in this topic, but she did not want to show it too obviously. She lowered her head, looking like she wanted to listen but did not want to listen, and she looked particularly quiet.

"We didn't go to many places actually," Uehara Toru put down his chopsticks, his tone calm but with a hint of reminiscence, "basically we just wandered around Tokyo. Because we were busy with work during the day, we usually went out at night."

He paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then continued, "But... every time we meet, it feels very special. She is a whimsical person and always comes up with some strange ideas. To be honest, I thought it was silly and ridiculous when I first heard it, but when I did it, I found that it was really interesting."

As he spoke, the memories gradually came to life. There seemed to be a slight light in his eyes, which was the warmth brought by the memories, or an lingering emotion. "I am indeed not as good as her when it comes to dating."

Uehara Toru smiled, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone, "She always taught me a lot, not just some tricks, but more about the way women think. For example, when they get angry, and what they care about the most - I gradually understood all of this."

He spoke calmly, even with a hint of emotion, but it was this calmness that revealed an indescribable depth.

The three girls at the table listened quietly, and even Nana Toyama's wine glass, which was originally shaking slightly, stopped in mid-air.

They didn't interrupt, their eyes showing different levels of complex emotions. Sake was poured one after another, but the silence at this moment seemed meaningful.

They all knew in their hearts that even though Toru Uehara and Ayane Sakura had broken up, that girl obviously still left a deep mark in his heart.

Her existence was not just a part of the past, but something that changed a part of him, making him who he is today.

If someone wants to interact with him in the future and wants him to completely get rid of this memory, it may not be an easy task.

Mizuno Inori lowered her head and took a sip of sake, the wine in the glass swaying gently. She couldn't help but think of a recent conversation with Sakura Ayane. At that time, when Sakura mentioned Uehara Toru, she was always angry, furious, and dissatisfied.

She sighed slightly in her heart: You two... are completely opposite now.

……

The hot pot was eaten until 9:30 in the evening, and the heat in the house gradually dissipated, leaving behind a drunken silence. Mizuno Inori's alcohol tolerance was not very good, comparable to Miss Sakura, and she was already drowsy at this moment, leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed, breathing evenly. Although Toyama Nana was still awake, she was too full and drunk, so she started to feel lazy and simply suggested staying at Ueda Rena's house tonight.

"I'm not leaving. Let's stay here tonight~" Nana Toyama said lazily, hugging the pillow beside her and finding a comfortable position to lie down.

"Okay, then you can sleep in the guest room." Rena Ueda agreed immediately and smiled softly.

Thus, the familiar scene was repeated - Toru Uehara and Rena Ueda began to clean up the mess in tacit understanding. One of them washed the dishes, while the other cleaned the table, their movements were skillful and tacit.

When her eyes glanced at the two people sleeping together on the sofa, Ueda Reina's mouth corners involuntarily curved up, revealing a gentle smile.

Inori Mizuno and Nana Toyama were like two lazy cats, curled up in a corner of the sofa, looking somewhat cute.

In this quiet atmosphere, Uehara Toru suddenly spoke while washing dishes: "Reina."

"Huh?" Ueda Reina turned her head and looked at him puzzledly.

"I'm sorry." Toru Uehara's voice was calm, but with a hint of apology.

"Huh?" Reina Ueda was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly apologized.

Uehara Toru did not explain immediately, but continued to wash the dishes in his hands, as if he was considering his words. After a moment, he said softly: "I didn't handle the previous things well, which may make you feel very uncomfortable. I have always wanted to say sorry to you."

Ueda Reina finally understood what he meant, but she didn't respond immediately. She stood aside and smiled slightly: "I don't think there is anything that can't be handled well."

Y Uehara Toru thought about that time and realized that the person who really made him decide to have a girlfriend was actually Rena Ueda.

uRena Ueda's proactive attack was beyond his expectations and caught him off guard for a while.

H He knew that although Sumire and Mizuno Inori had feelings for him, they would not take the initiative to express their feelings in a short period of time.

ABut Rena Ueda is different. She is his first real female friend. Needless to say, the friendship between the two is natural. However, because he cares about this friendship but cannot respond to her feelings, he chooses to escape and even makes a hasty decision.

N Uehara Toru turned to look at her with a frank look, "But in the end, I still escaped."

Ueda Reina: "It's human nature to escape... It's normal. You don't have to worry about it, Toru-kun."

Uehara Toru laughed when he heard this: "Reina, you are really... too gentle."

N "Is there?"

:"Yes, I have."

"But, Reina, there's one more thing I want to tell you."

"I will face any feelings head-on in the future and won't do such half-hearted things anymore. At the same time...you can forget about that ridiculous agreement we made in the beginning."

Hearing this, Ueda Reina's body trembled slightly: "Promise..."

Rokuuehara Toru said seriously: "I cherish our friendship very much, and because of this, I will take the matter of feelings more seriously."

Ueda Reina fell silent.

3 The sound of washing dishes rang out again, and a subtle atmosphere filled the room.

The two people on the sofa were still sleeping soundly, and the two people in the kitchen continued their work at hand tacitly, as if at this moment, time was stretched and became particularly peaceful and soft.

After the sound of the water stopped, Ueda Reina breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Uehara Toru with a smile and said, "I understand."

"Then let's cancel the agreement."

"Ah."

Not allowed to like each other.

I didn't expect that this layer of shackles would be broken at such a time.

Rena Ueda's originally calm heart was slightly rippled again.

Volume 153: Chapter Chapter Miss Ying will never regret

Today is the audition for the second season of Oregairu.

Ms. Sakura did not have any objection to this co-starring because of what happened with Toru Uehara.

Work is work, private life is private life, and she has always kept the two very clear.

Moreover, this was a work she had prepared long ago.

There were actually only three or four new characters that needed to appear, so there were very few people on the scene.

Several of them are unfamiliar seniors, such as Haruka Tomatsu. It is rare for Miss Sakura to imitate Toru Uehara's previous behavior and stay in a secluded corner.

Socializing is exhausting.

Although Sakura Ayane currently has a lot of real friends, she still has not announced her breakup with Uehara Toru.

Because it feels silly.

If every time I see someone, I have to say, "I broke up", wouldn't that be like asking for comfort?

And I don't need any comfort, I was the one who dumped him.

And everyone has to say, "Huh?! You broke up?"

It sounds even more stupid.

Am I the giant panda in the zoo?

Complaining about these things in her heart, she was waiting for her own audition.

Soon, skipping the performances of other voice actors, Sakura Ayane came to the microphone and announced her own name and the name of her company as usual, and finally the role she was auditioning for.

"I'm going to play Kaori Oreki."

In her opinion, this role is very suitable for her.

Because this character is actually the first love of the male protagonist Hikigaya Hachiman, and the person he first confessed to, and then the protagonist was rejected as expected.

It's exactly the same as what I'm doing now, dumping my senior.

That's right, I want to be matched with this kind of character who can dominate the senior and play with him at will!

Sakura Ayane has always liked to put her real emotions into her dubbing. If she were asked to choose Kaori Oreki this time, she would undoubtedly want to take revenge.

Humph.

Facts have proved that although she was relieved after the breakup, the aftereffect is very strong. Sakura Ayane can't be like that cold man Toru Uehara, who doesn't think about anything after the breakup. When she returns home and lies on the bed, many scenes of their previous time together and some habits will involuntarily emerge in her mind.

For example, when I open my phone, I want to ask him where he is going to eat tonight...

No wonder those boyfriends and girlfriends say blocking each other is the best solution after breaking up. Otherwise, sometimes you see that avatar and click on it to say something, but if you really send the message and the other party ignores you or says something that you don’t like, your mood will instantly explode like gunpowder.

So it was time to settle old accounts again.

Miss Sakura, who was full of resentment, completed the dubbing of Kaori Orimoto while thinking about these messy things in her heart.

The supervisor sitting by the glass window nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Miss Sakura's performance.

However, Duhang suddenly said, "By the way, I heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not."

The supervisor raised his head and asked, "What rumors?"

Wataru lowered his voice mysteriously and asked, "Are Sakura-san and Uehara a couple?"

The supervisor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "...I don't know."

Although the director has a good relationship with some voice actors, they are not in the same circle after all. Moreover, although Sakura Ayane and Uehara Toru are publicly in love, this matter did not cause much waves in the voice actor circle.

On the one hand, it is because the two are not particularly well-known, and on the other hand, their relationship has not been hyped up like other celebrities.

What’s even more interesting is that Bunshun did photograph them a few times.
