I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Upon hearing this, Renai looked at Momoka with admiration.

"Momoka-san! Such a professional!"

Volume 1: Chapter 48: Dating a girlfriend behind my back?

"Teacher, can you accompany me somewhere later?" Sumire Uesaka looked at Toru Uehara cautiously and asked.

The two were sitting in a fast food restaurant in Akihabara at this time. Uehara Toru just took a few bites of cold noodles and fell into a contemplative stillness.

For him, dining out was always accompanied by an unspeakable pain.

It's really unpalatable.

"Sure. I'm here to keep you company today. You can go anywhere you want, but you have to keep up with practice."

"Also, report to me on your recent studies at the voice actor school."

Upon hearing this, Sumire Uesaka sat up straight. She had never been so serious and solemn when facing the teachers in the voice actor school.

"Okay, teacher."

"Recently, I've been practicing basic skills every day when I get home. The school has already started teaching acting, and it's pretty much the same as what you said, teacher."

"Well, you need to talk more at the beginning. By the way, have you found a friend to practice with?"

When Toru Uehara thinks back on it now, he can't help but feel a little regretful.

If I had consciously made some male friends when I was in voice actor school, then these five years might have been more enjoyable and easier.

"Well... not yet, not yet. I'm not very good at taking the initiative to say hello to others..." As soon as Sumire Uesaka finished her words, she lowered her eyes shyly, a faint blush appeared on her face, revealing the shyness and reserve unique to young girls.

Uehara Tetsu: "There's no rush. When you have training in a while, or when you take turns to perform acting skills, you can start choosing."

“Find those who you think have the most mature and powerful acting skills to make friends with, so that there is value in learning from each other.”

"Oh, oh, okay, teacher."

"Okay, let's go. Where are you going?" Toru Uehara stood up and prepared to pay the bill for Sumire Uesaka.

He is now very concerned about his student Sumire Uesaka.

On the one hand, the remuneration paid by Mrs. Uesaka was indeed quite generous, enough for him to devote more energy. On the other hand, Toru Uehara could clearly feel the extraordinary talent of this girl.

She has a strong interest in two-dimensional culture, which gives her a natural advantage and keen comprehension in related fields. Her innate conditions and learning abilities are excellent.

Perhaps, like Mizuno Inori and Sakura Ayane, she can quickly complete her studies at the voice actor school with her outstanding talent and hard work, stand out in the agency after graduation, or even quickly get the leading role?

Toru Uehara sincerely hopes that his students can succeed in the path he himself failed to follow.

"Go, go to a place where there are a lot of cosplay costumes..." Sumire Uesaka felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation in her heart.

Normally, she always chooses clothes through online shopping, but this time, she can go to the physical store to experience it in person.

That must be a very special feeling!

After handing the last coin to the cashier, Toru Uehara raised his head slightly.

Cosplay costume.

Come to think of it, Matsuoka-senpai also said that I am suitable for cosplay...

-

Arriving at Animate Akihabara Building 2, Toru Uehara and Sumire Uesaka followed the instructions on the doorplate and took the elevator directly to the sixth floor.

The elevator door slowly opened, and the view in front of me suddenly opened up. A wide variety of cosplay costumes came into view, colorful and dazzling.

All kinds of clothing, some gorgeous and some unique, are displayed layer by layer. They look dazzling in this shop full of two-dimensional style, as if each piece of clothing contains a unique story and charm.

Not only that, a small number of tourists coming here are wearing cosplay costumes.

It was the first time in Sumire Uesaka's life that she was surrounded by so many people who shared the same interests with her. Her eyes instantly sparkled with excitement and her cheeks were flushed with two lovely blushes due to excitement.

"Teacher...I, I..."

"Go and see if you want."

After hearing his words, Sumire Uesaka pursed her lips slightly, but did not turn around and leave immediately.

She looked at Toru Uehara with expectant eyes, which revealed a hint of pleading and desire.

Obviously, she hoped that Toru Uehara could accompany her.

Uehara Toru was helpless: "Okay, let's go. Let me make it clear that I won't wear these clothes with you."

"Yeah~" After hearing the proposal, Sumire Uesaka immediately nodded in agreement like a child who got candy.

At the same time, she gently pulled up the corner of Uehara Toru's clothes. This small action made her feel safe and secure.

Soon, she found a store she liked, which was filled with her favorite Lolita clothing.

When it comes to anime characters wearing lolita skirts, we have to mention Kasugano Sora, Kuroneko Gokou Ruri, and Tokisaki Kurumi from Date A Live.

And it just so happens that the clothes of these three people are all sold in this store.

"Welcome, both of you. Would you like to rent cosplay costumes?"

The store clerk looked at Toru Uehara and Sumire Uesaka and initially judged that they should be siblings?

They both have good looks, but they are not as close as a couple.

Sumire Uesaka asked hesitantly, "Can I try it on?"

"Of course, which one would you like to try on?"

Sumire Uesaka pointed to the pure white Lolita dress, which was the same one that Sora wore.

"Okay, do you need a wig?"

"Yeah, yeah, I need it."

Sumire Uesaka was pecking at rice like a chick.

"Then this gentleman."

Toru Uehara waved his hand without saying anything, just looking at the various clothes displayed in the store.

The cost of renting it for half a day is 3,000 yen, but if you buy it at the original price, it will cost more than 100,000 yen.

These shops are quite good at doing business.

Toru Uehara looked for a while, then found an empty sofa, sat down, and started browsing his phone.

About ten minutes later.

Toru Uehara's attention was gently drawn by a subtle sound. He turned his head and his eyes involuntarily fell on Sumire Uesaka at this time.

With her own superior conditions, Sumire Uesaka can easily restore the pure nature of the anime character without excessive modification.

Her natural beauty without heavy makeup, coupled with her slightly shy and innocent eyes, and the exquisite Lolita dress she wears, makes her look like a girl from an anime, ready to shine in front of the camera at any time.

Taking advantage of the current outfit and atmosphere, Sumire Uesaka asked naturally, "Yu, do I look good?"

Yu is Kasugano Sora, the brother of the character she is cosplaying now.

Toru Uehara noticed the shyness in Sumire Uesaka's eyes, and combined with her unique cold voice, he quickly realized that she was dubbing a certain character.

Dubbing in cosplay...will it make you feel more immersed and have better effects?

Uehara Toru thought of this possibility and looked straight at Uesaka Sumire: "Say a few more words?"

Sumire Uesaka was very shy, but at the teacher's request, she continued to recite the lines unique to Sora Aoi.

"Because You is here, nothing else is needed."

"Tell me more."

"I want to break out of this cage that's holding me back, get out of this place, see the same things with Yuu, do the same things with Yuu, I want it all. Somewhere in my heart, I'm waiting for Yuu."

"Well... come again."

"I love you the most, Yuu."

After listening to this, Toru Uehara fell into deep thought, while the clerk next to him was shocked.

This, what's the situation?

The second dimension enters reality?

But you are... this is against...

Uehara Toru nodded: "Overall, it's quite emotional, but it feels a little off. Is it because of shyness?"

At this time, Sumire Uesaka lowered her head in embarrassment, with a faint blush on her face.

"Um……"

"Change your clothes and let's do it again."

"Are there any men's cosplay costumes here? Give me one too."

The shop assistant looked at Toru Uehara's excited face and for a moment she didn't know whether to say yes or no.

This brother and sister feels terrible!

……

In the second set, Sumire Uesaka changed into Gokou Ruri's costume and wore the classic pair of cat ears on her head.

It’s relatively simple for Toru Uehara. After all, Kyosuke Kousaka’s clothes are very popular. He just needs to change his hairstyle and wear a shawl jacket.

The two stood in front of the floor-length mirror and looked at each other.

Uehara Toru looked down at her and asked, "You should still remember the lines when these two broke up, right?"

Sumire Uesaka was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, come on then, completely put yourself in the role of Black Cat and dub for me."

At this point, Sumire Uesaka will not show too much resistance.

If she follows Toru Uehara, she will slowly get used to this process.

Sumire Uesaka closed her eyes lightly, and slowly opened them after a moment. At this moment, she was completely immersed in the world of the character.

"You are no longer qualified to be a follower of darkness."

"Just take your holy sword and save the world."

"You are the one who shattered my first love."

“You can definitely do this…”

Sumire Uesaka's performance was full of power. She made a movement of tearing the void, and then her voice trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes were slightly red, expressing the character's emotions vividly.

"The curse is broken."

"You are free now. We will never be bound together again in this life or the next!"

Then, there was a crying scene. Toru Uehara did not stop Sumire Uesaka, but watched her continue the performance with interest.

Sumire Uesaka was also completely immersed in it, and the sound of her crying startled all the passers-by and shop assistants around her.

After she finished her performance, Toru Uehara started applauding, his expression full of approval for her.

"It's great. It gives me the same feeling as the original. The emotions are very rich. Sumire, you really are talented."

After hearing the praise, Sumire Uesaka calmed down a little.

Her face was lightly flushed, and she looked at Uehara Tetsu shyly and expectantly, and asked softly, "Teacher, can you promise me something?"

"Well, go ahead." Toru Uehara got a lot of inspiration from her.

Isn’t cosplay also a kind of experience?

Perhaps, I can deepen my understanding of the role by practicing at home and putting myself in the role.

Toru Uehara has combined the experience of many voice actors with his own constantly updated methods, and now has more cards in his hand.

"That's right, I want to take some pictures with you, and then wear a few more cosplay costumes... can I?"

Uehara Toru was stunned: "Is that it?"

"No problem, come on, but it's better to wear clothes of characters I know."

"Okay, okay!"
