I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

An and Subaru looked carefully and were surprised to find that this was the meeting place they had agreed to meet with others.

"The timing is just right, so we won't delay either side. Rencai, let's find a suitable location."

"Ah, um." Rencai was now in an absent-minded state, as if there were thin and dense black and red lines crawling behind her.

She was still wondering why Toru Uehara suddenly had a girlfriend. After thinking it over again and again, she could only speculate that this might have happened during the days when she was away working.

Indeed, he had always seemed somewhat repulsive to women, and whenever someone tried to approach him, he would respond with indifference.

However, his attitude towards me has gradually become gentler recently. There must be something fishy behind this change...

"Huh? I was just asking if we should extend the time with them, but you guys arrived first?" Taoxiang's surprised voice came from behind.

"So, this is the great and sacred mission?"

"No, Sister Momoka, um... I'll explain it later. Can we choose this seat? I think it's easier to talk about things here, and the view is also wider." An Hesuba pointed to the seat in the middle.

Taoxiang nodded: "It doesn't matter. We were here first anyway."

"Ninai, what would you like to drink? Do you want to come with me to order?"

"Nina?"

Taoxiang called out once, but got no response, which made her start to feel a little strange.

An He Subaru pushed Momoka's back in time: "Okay, okay, Momoka sister, I'll go with you, let Rencai sit here and rest."

"Eh? Oh..."

When they came to the front desk to place their order, Momoka couldn't help but ask, "So what's going on?"

"Momoka-san, what kind of feelings do you think Ninai has for Uehara-san?"

"Why did you suddenly mention...did you meet Uehara-san just now?"

An He Subaru looked at the waiter, ordered a drink, and then slowly replied: "Yes, seeing Uehara-san walking with other girls, talking and laughing, Nina became like that~"

"I see..." Momoka also ordered a cup for herself and Renai.

Then she hugged her chest, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's too early for Rencai to say that she likes him. It's probably because she's dependent on him and is afraid that someone important to her will be taken away from her."

"So Sister Taoxiang thinks so too?" An Hesuba was a little proud. She felt that she was a master of emotional analysis.

"Well, with Niina's personality, you can probably guess what she is like."

"But, it's still very troublesome. This child is sensitive and fragile, stubborn to the point of being obstinate, and he explodes at any time..."

Momoka couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Subaru, aren't you the same age as Nina?"

An He Subaru straightened his chest and said confidently: "My physical age is like this, but my mental age is much more mature than Renna~"

"A mature adult like Uehara-san wouldn't like a childish child."

Tao Xiang smiled slightly: "It's hard to say."

"I think the reason why Uehara-san is so gentle to us now is probably because we are not mature enough."

"Eh?"

"What does it mean?"

Momoka teased, "This can only be analyzed by Subaru, who is also very mature psychologically."

"Sister Taoxiang~"

An and Subaru acted pitiful, but that didn't sway Momoka at all.

In fact, Momoka couldn't see through Toru Uehara at all. She always felt that he was a person who seemed to do everything reasonably, but was also very bold.

For her, such a dazzling, bold and courageous person can only be an existence of admiration.

……

After waiting for about ten minutes, the two newlyweds who had agreed to meet also arrived smoothly.

A girl in gorgeous black Lolita-style clothing came into view. A playful red bow was pinned on her dark grey curly hair, and she looked like a carefully crafted doll. Her skin was flawless and her eyes sparkled with a deep red color that only appeared in anime, adding a bit of mysterious charm.

Next to the delicate doll-like girl walked a woman with healthy brown skin, dark green hair, and an exotic look.

Her eyes always have a smiling arc, giving people a sense of intimacy.

The pleasant fragrance she exudes makes people feel comfortable and happy as soon as they approach her. Her temperament and demeanor reveal a sense of being easy to approach.

These two are the people that Renai and the others want to meet.

After seeing An, Subaru and Momoka, the doll girl hesitated for a while, but finally walked towards them slowly. The dark green-haired woman following behind her seemed to be her guardian, encouraging her to move forward.

Only after the two of them sat down together did they begin to introduce themselves.

"Hello, my name is Rupa, this is Ebizuka Satoshi, my bandmate Chi-chan, and you three are the Shinkawasaki who were on stage before?"

The little sister heard the voice and looked up at them. If it was before, she might have shown a surprised expression, but at this moment, her heart was filled with other things, and she could no longer stir up any waves in her heart about the situation in front of her.

"Yes, I'm Kawahara Momoka, this is Anhe Subaru, and here's Isen Renna."

Nina sat between Momoka, An and Subaru, but she kept her head down like an autistic child.

She didn't even peek at Toru Uehara who was not far away.

Momoka, An and Subaru felt a little helpless about this, but didn't say anything.

"Let's get straight to the point." The puppet girl Ebizuka Satoshi obviously didn't care why Nina was autistic. She only cared about one thing.

Why did this group of people play in a band, and what was their goal in playing in a band?

If you are just playing around, you can just leave now without wasting time talking later.

Upon hearing this, Momoka also straightened her posture and looked at Ebizuka Satoshi seriously.

After some conversation, Ebzuka Satoshi's expression relaxed a little.

"Do you really want to develop in the direction of professionalism?"

"Of course, if we're just having fun, it would be fine for the three of us to continue like this, but this is obviously unrealistic."

Although bassists are sometimes jokingly called "slackers" on stage, people who truly understand music know how important the mellow and deep tone of the bass is to a song.

Without the support of the bass, the music would seem dull and lack its soul.

The role of the keyboardist is self-evident. An excellent keyboardist not only adds icing on the cake to the music, but can also elevate the style and audio-visual experience of the entire band to a new level.

The rich timbre and melodic lines of the keyboard can inject more color and depth into the band's music, making it more three-dimensional and moving.

After hearing Momoka's sincere words, Ebizka Satoshi and Rupa looked at each other and expressed their approval.

"We think it was a bit hasty to confirm it after just one communication," Rupa said with a smile.

"We all saw your performance at Kawasaki Square last time. It was very interesting and the level was pretty good. But can you guarantee that the level can remain stable with every performance?" When this sentence was said, Rupa, who always squinted her eyes and looked approachable, slowly opened her eyes.

As her eyes opened, an unspoken aura was quietly released, bringing with it a slight sense of oppression.

After Momoka had faced Toru Uehara's eyes before, she basically didn't feel anything about the current one.

She smiled confidently, "We have prepared this as well. These are two tickets to the livehouse. We will be performing there at around 7pm next Wednesday."

"Then you two can go and watch it. If you feel that our performance satisfies you, we can discuss cooperation later."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding." After Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi received the tickets, they slowly stood up.

"Then... we'll take our leave today."

"You two walk slowly."

As Ebizuka stood up, he glanced at Nina, who was clearly in a bad mood. Nina had remained silent throughout the conversation and had not expressed any opinions, which made Ebizuka a little disappointed.

After she and Rupa walked out of the store, Rupa looked at her with a smile and asked softly, "What's wrong, Xiaozhi?"

As time went by, the sunlight gradually became stronger.

Ebizuka Satoshi stood in the shadow of the eaves and gently blocked the dazzling sunlight with her hands. She spoke in a calm voice.

"Although the backbone of their band is the person named Taoxiang, the real soul is that stupid kid."

"If the stupid kids lose their momentum, their band will be no good either."

Rupa smiled and said, "So, aren't we going to observe it for a while longer?"

"……Um."

Satoshi Ebizuka was just very worried. After all, they didn't have that much time left. How could there be so many suitable bands in the world waiting for them to choose one by one?

I can only hope that stupid kid can cheer up.

-

After they left, Momoka patted Nina's shoulder and said, "Are we done talking about this, Nina?"

"...Are you done talking?" Rencai came back to her senses and looked at her with some confusion.

Taoxiang immediately showed a helpless smile, while An Hesuba beside her was also sipping the drinks she ordered. At this moment, she did not have the dignified demeanor of a young lady, but instead showed casualness everywhere.

"Nina, next Wednesday's performance is the key to whether we can find new members, so don't make any mistakes then, okay?"

"Oh."

"I, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go."

An He Subaru looked at Renai walking away with her head down, and felt inexplicably annoyed.

"Really? Is it only Uehara-san who can coax her?"

"After all, why do I always need someone to comfort me? Is there no one to comfort me?" An Hesuba was also a little upset.

Momoka observed her unconcealed true reaction, and couldn't help but recall Subaru's claim that his mental age was very mature, which made her want to laugh out loud.

-

At this time, Rencai came to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at herself quietly.

She felt herself being tightly entangled by countless tiny and dense black and red threads, as if they were about to swallow her whole. The emptiness and fear in her heart suddenly surged into her heart like a tide.

At her core, she is just an extremely insecure child, nothing more than that.

"Um...are you okay?"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from beside her, and through the mirror, Jinna could see the other person's face.

It was the girl who had just walked side by side with Toru Uehara. Her skin was moist and shiny, and she looked pure and charming even without makeup.

The clothes she wore were not only exquisite and beautiful, but also obviously valuable, revealing a unique temperament that only the eldest daughter of a wealthy family possessed.

"I...it's okay."

"You seem to be unwell, are you really okay?"

"..."

"When did you and Uehara Toru meet?"

"Eh?" Sumire Uesaka was stunned. She didn't expect to hear the teacher's name from this little girl. She hesitated for a moment and replied, "Maybe half a month ago?"

"You are……"

"Is your family rich?"

"This... should be okay, right?" Sumire Uesaka actually had no concept of money, but at least so far, she had never encountered something she wanted to buy but couldn't.

"really……"

"Then did you know he was a voice actor?"

"Hmm? Of course."

"Then..." Many images flashed through Renai's mind, but they all stopped abruptly.

"He has a bad personality, but if you get to know him patiently and get to know him carefully, you will find that he is actually a good person."

"..."

"Besides being a germaphobe, troublesome, swearing, and hitting people, he actually has a lot of good points."

Uesaka Sumire: "???"

Renai: "So, even if he has so many faults, you have to endure it, hold on, and be with him in the end."

"I wish you happiness!"
