I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"...I believe you."

Jinna followed Uehara Toru's instructions and performed each step carefully.

When she finally poured the fried beef and onions over the rice, the rich aroma immediately spread, making people salivate.

"Okay, let's take a bite and compare them."

Renai looked at the spoon he handed over, took it, and scooped another big mouthful into her mouth.

"So hot!"

"Haha." Toru Uehara was amused by her silly look.

Rencai was stubborn and refused to spit it out, but swallowed it down and immediately drank some water.

"what……"

Rencai stuck out her tongue and felt like crying: "It's too hot. I can't even taste it."

"Then have another bite?"

"No, I won't eat it anymore."

Uehara Toru smiled and patted her head: "Give me the spoon."

"Oh, oh..." Renai handed it back obediently, and then saw him start eating the beef rice with the spoon she had used.

Renai's eyes widened in surprise, and a faint blush gradually appeared on her face.

"We can buy more of this rice..." Uehara Toru nodded, approving of the texture of the rice, but he also remembered that he had not yet exchanged contact information with Ueda Rena.

Let’s talk about it next time we go to the set.

After eating a few bites, I saw the child handed me a bottle of water.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Renai turned her head slightly, trying to hide the blush on her face so that the other person would not notice her shyness.

Uehara Toru chuckled.

"I'm not you."

After eating, Toru Uehara sat on the sofa and looked at the child in front of him who was sighing with his face in his hands.

"I've discovered that people nowadays seem to be very prejudiced against girl bands."

"Momoka-san and I went to several livehouses, and it felt like they all didn't like us."

"Finally, we had to mention the name of Diamond Dust's former guitarist before a livehouse was willing to let us perform."

"What a bunch of snobs!" When Rencai said this, her teeth were itching with hatred, like a grinning pig.

The reason I said that about her was because later on she saw Uehara Toru eating with relish, so she snatched the beef rice back and showed off.

If someone is trying to steal food, what else could he be but a pig?

"Livehouses also need to make money, and there are only three people in your band now. You don't look like a formal band at all. It's good enough that they are willing to perform for you."

"You just know how to make sarcastic remarks."

Renai gave him a finger, but soon began to sigh: "If I want to recruit people, where can I find them?"

"Do you want to play in a band seriously?" Toru Uehara raised his eyebrows.

"You haven't been to my house for a few days. How's your study going?"

Renai snorted, "I sent my report card home and they were all speechless."

"I've been studying at home, too. You've been busy lately, and I also have a part-time job, so I don't have that much time."

Nina thought that maybe it would be nice to meet each other every few days. She could clearly feel that Toru Uehara's attitude towards her had changed a little.

What is this called?

Smells good from a distance but stinks up close?

"When recruiting, the formal ones may not necessarily look at you. Those who do look at you are probably problem children like you, or they have other motives."

"For example, to Momoka, and to An and Subaru."

"You have to discern the specific situation yourself."

Rencai glanced at him with disdain: "Who do you think I am? I'm not that easy to fool. Even you, I was cautious and discerning before I dared to approach you."

"The initial idea is to find two more female members, and it would be best if their schedules are flexible and they are not too busy..."

Uehara Toru: "Did you drop out of high school like you?"

Rencai paused when she heard that, and she felt her fists harden again.

What’s going on? I’ve only been friendly with him for less than two hours and it’s starting over again?

Uehara Toru put one hand on his chin and said thoughtfully: "With your temper, if it was someone who played in a band half-heartedly, you would definitely be angry."

"Momoka is your idol again. Now if you want to play seriously, you have to go professional. Professional level, free time, problem child..."

Rencai listened to him sifting through the ideas and thought it made sense. She was expecting him to say something constructive.

The next sentence is.

"I feel like, why not give up?"

"what?"

"Someone who meets these three conditions, is still with you, and is still willing to join your band."

"This kind of probability is either in a novel or in an animation."

Nina was angered by him again. She was too naive to expect that Toru Uehara would spit out ivory from his mouth.

He raised his little finger and looked down on Uehara Toru.

"You said you couldn't find it, but I'm going to find it for you!"

"By the way, our performance is scheduled for next Wednesday, are you free?"

Uehara Toru thought for a moment and said, "I can't be sure during the day, but I'm free at night."

The recording work is usually done during the day. Demon Slayer is on Tuesday, so if nothing unexpected happens on Wednesday, there will be no problem.

"Well, I'll tell you the location then. You go to the back door and I'll get you a ticket."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "I can pay for it myself, provided you give a performance worthy of the money paid for the ticket."

Renai was really irritated and annoyed by this man. His words seemed to be testing the edge of her patience, and every word could accurately trigger her anger.

"I will never let you find any fault with it!"

After giving him a final grimace, Nina quickly walked out of the Uehara household.

Toru Uehara listened to the sound of the door closing gently and smiled.

Only when Rencai is like a bomb that may explode at any time can she release the energy that is ready to go on stage and show her true self.

Toru Uehara felt that he had already mastered the instruction manual for this kid.

Come on, I look forward to your performance.

-

Nina acted as a messenger and went directly to Momoka's house, repeating exactly what Uehara Toru had said.

After hearing this, Taoxiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"As expected of Uehara-san, but it does make sense."

"Our requirements are quite strict. First of all, the professional level is very difficult."

"But it's not completely impossible. Look at this." Momoka took out her cell phone, whose screen was almost broken into pieces, and handed it to Rencai to see.

"beni-shouga?"

"It was a band that was popular on x. It disbanded some time ago, but two members are still active now."

"Look at this video. Although their faces are not shown, you can tell that these are two girls, right?"

Renai's eyes widened: "This, this is..."

Why do I feel like I've seen these two people somewhere before?

This chest, this leg... and this skin color...

No way, is it such a coincidence?

"Momoka-san, where did you find them?"

Tao Xiang was somewhat proud: "I searched for each band one by one, and then other similar users who were automatically associated with them would appear. It took me a long time to find them."

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"Have……"

"Well, let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow afternoon and discuss our intentions."

"Eh?"

"This, so soon?" Ninai's social anxiety disorder was about to strike again. Although she had trained a lot of courage while working at Yoshinoya during this period, but...

"Hmm...then let's call Subaru along. With the three of us together, there should be no problem."

"Okay, okay."

Renai is still wondering if it is really those two people?

If that's true, isn't it too coincidental?

There just happen to be two people suitable for joining the band hiding where I work?

Humph, but it doesn’t matter, if it succeeds I can slap Che in the face.

-

The next morning, when Toru Uehara was making breakfast again, his agent called him.

"Another good news?"

"Don't say it, it's true."

"But it's not a voice actor's job. It's recording a commercial for a variety show. The requirement is that one person plays multiple roles, and the entire process is 200 seconds without a tape, and it must be done in one go."

"The requirements are strict, but the corresponding salary is very high. It's like the price of 10 extras multiplied by three."

"How to say?"

"I'll definitely take it. No need to ask. Now no matter what kind of supporting role it is, just help me get it. Just tell me the job description directly on Line."

"Oh, you finally came to your senses?"

"I'm just getting out of here."

"Tsk tsk, okay, okay, then I will do my best to find a role for you. If you can't get it, it's your problem, not mine."

Uehara Toru heard his agent start to tease him and smiled slightly: "It must be my own fault, then hang up."

"Wait, what are you talking about? The job for that ad copy is today, and you can leave later."

"..."

After hearing those words, Toru Uehara's good mood of leisurely making breakfast instantly disappeared.

He turned off the induction cooker, picked up the perfectly runny egg with the tip of his chopsticks, and quickly put it into his mouth.

Then he took a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, put on his shoes without hesitation, and prepared to go out.

The train was shaking, and Toru Uehara was reading the job requirements sent by his agent the whole time. He was a little surprised why such a good job fell into his head.

Generally speaking, this kind of work is a lucrative job for popular voice actors, and it is also aimed at increasing exposure. Moreover, relatively speaking, the work is easy and does not require much time.

Is the fortune really starting to turn?

Uehara Toru thought to himself.
