I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Clearly, this guitar has weight.

Toru Uehara respects other people's dreams, and everyone's dream is a unique gem.

But the reality is so cruel, there are always only a few pieces that can truly shine.

After simply adjusting the pitch, Toru Uehara came to the location where Momoka had performed just now.

Then he began to play and sing.

And, it was the same...empty box!

Momoka and Nina couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this familiar song.

His singing also rises and falls with the performance.

As a voice actor, in this day and age, being able to sing is basically taken for granted.

If you are able to voice a popular protagonist, then the character song will definitely be included in the accompanying character peripherals.

If the sales are good, we can even hold an offline live for the voice actors, and it can also be extended to the development path of singers.

At this moment, the singing ability displayed by Toru Uehara is not something that ordinary voice actors can possess.

Abundant emotional expression and impeccable high-pitched skills, coupled with his extremely exquisite guitar playing.

After a while, people started to stop one after another at the bustling station. Even though many of them had just got off work and were tired and wanted to go home quickly, they were still amazed by Toru Uehara's performance.

It was visible to the naked eye that more and more people had gathered and had formed a circle around Uehara Toru. If Nina and Momoka had not been standing in the circle, they would have been squeezed out by now.

Empty Box, a song I just heard once, and even Toru Uehara only listened to half of it.

Not only can it be perfectly reproduced now, but the second half of the long solo can even be improvised.

The inspiring tones and his intoxicated playing formed an extremely special landscape here. The onlookers were even a little stunned, and many of them only remembered to take videos afterward.

But it's too late.

The last note fell and the song ended.

Everyone present felt that they had not yet reached their limit, and Momoka, the composer, was extremely shocked.

She never expected that her music could be played to such an effect.

This handsome guy...isn't he too awesome?

Renai was also stunned, her mouth slightly open, completely at a loss as to what to say.

After finishing the performance, Toru Uehara returned to his cold and indifferent expression. He casually rejected several girls who came up to him to ask for their contact information. Then, amid the warm applause of the crowd, he slowly walked towards Nina and Momoka.

After handing the guitar back to Momoka, he said calmly, "It's a very good guitar. The song you just played was also a great song."

"However, the world is not black and white. Similarly, it does not mean that good things will be respected and loved by the public."

"But no matter what, I think it's a bit too early for you to give up your musical dream now."

"Eh?" After hearing these words, Renai and Momoka looked at him blankly.

Uehara continued, "Although I can play the guitar and sing OK, this is not what I really want."

"I haven't gotten the main role or popularity I wanted yet."

“I don’t even have ten followers on x.”

“And I’ve been doing this for five years.”

“So, as long as you still have passion and enthusiasm for your dream, you might as well keep trying.”

"After all, even I'm still holding on, right?"

To be honest, Toru Uehara felt a little unhappy that he had to use his dark history to motivate Momoka. After all, he had an extremely arrogant personality, although he had restrained himself a lot now.

However, since we are all travelers on the road to our dreams, it is not a bad idea to encourage each other.

Taoxiang didn't know why, but she suddenly felt like crying after hearing these words. She lowered her head quickly and tried to smile: "Hmm..."

"Thank you."

Toru Uehara shook his head, glanced at Nina, and seeing that she was in a daze, he turned around and left.

Volume 1: Chapter 7: The Little Brat

"Why are you following me?"

Nina said nothing, but continued to drag the suitcase and followed Uehara Toru closely.

Ten minutes later, Toru Uehara couldn't help it anymore.

"I'll call the police if you tell me again."

“Call the police, call the police!”

"Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong." The little girl started to act willful again, but now she was smiling, which was completely different from her previous state of loss and anger.

Because of Toru Uehara's advice just now, Momoka actually gave up the idea of ​​going home.

She said she was willing to try harder and if she was interested, she could see her performance at the station in the future.

Nina believed that she only contributed 10% at most, and 90% of the credit went to Toru Uehara.

He is really awesome!

Moreover, he is indeed a tsundere who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

Regarding such a person, Rencai completely let down her guard and felt that it would be absolutely safe to follow him.

Seeing that she was being so shameless, Toru Uehara stood under the street light and stared at her with a cold look.

Jing Qinrencai swallowed her saliva, still looking fearless.

but……

After staring at Uehara Tetsu for a while, she couldn't hold it anymore.

The momentum gradually weakened.

She could feel that Toru Uehara was really a little angry at this moment, and he probably wanted to say something herself?

"…Uehara-san, thank you for what you did just now."

Uehara Toru: "Thank me for what?"

"It's just... if you hadn't said those words to Momoka-san, I wouldn't have been able to keep her..."

"anything else?"

The little girl pursed her lips and bowed to him 90 degrees.

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble!"

Apologize directly and don't make trouble.

It seems that the purpose of educating the children has been achieved.

Toru Uehara looked at the little sister who kept this posture, and she seemed determined to keep doing so unless she was called.

Uehara Toru sighed: "Let me make it clear first, you can come to my house, but you can only sleep on the sofa and leave my house on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Do you understand?"

Renai was trying to hold back her laughter at this point, her head still bowed.

"Ming, I understand!"

Toru Uehara ignored her and turned around and strode forward.

At this time, Renai finally reacted. She dragged her luggage and shouted, "Wait for me! Uehara-san!"

-

After lifting the suitcase up with great effort, Jing Qinren lay on the suitcase, panting, and looked at Uehara Toru with some resentment.

Toru Uehara took out the key, opened the door, went in, took off his shoes, and turned on the light.

The entire picture of the room is now in front of Rencai.

Baseball bats, bicycles, frying pans that can only be found in restaurants, guitars, bass guitars, electronic keyboards, easels, wrenches, tool boxes, helmets...

Things with very different painting styles are piled up in the same space.

Rencai was stunned for a moment.

Uehara-san, didn’t you say you were a voice actor?

What exactly do you do for a living?

"Please put the suitcase by the door. There is no room inside."

Although there are a lot of things, Toru Uehara has managed to arrange them neatly so that they do not interfere with each other.

His room is actually not very big, and it is a miracle that it can fit so many things.

After taking off her shoes, Rencai stepped on the carpet in her black stockings.

Look left, look right, and your little brain is spinning around.

"Uehara-san, are you really just a voice actor?"

"What's the problem?" Toru Uehara was already sitting at his desk, picking up the several worn-out scripts, ready to re-study the future dubbing methods.

The experience genre may really need to be eliminated.

"So what are these things for?"

“A part-time tool.”

"This one too?" Rencai picked up the safety helmet and took a look, only to find that it was actually used exclusively for construction sites.

"Yes." Uehara Toru turned his head and looked at her.

"You just saw it. I can't get any good roles. It's hard for me to support myself just by acting as a voice actor."

Toru Uehara has now decided to make a complete change, and he has spoken openly about some of his past mistakes.

At the same time, the loneliness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

After all, who wants to admit they lost?

Giving up the path that he had always been proud of and thought was the right one was indeed a heavy blow to his spiritual faith.

Renai is a very sensitive child, so she can quickly perceive the emotional changes of others, even the guy in front of her who is basically in a state of facial paralysis.

"Uehara-san, what kind of job is voice actor? Why do you like it so much?"

"I think... you are good at singing and playing guitar. You should also be able to play all the instruments in your home, right?"

"If that's the case, why don't you consider forming a band or something with Momoka-san?"

"I reject."

Sure enough.

Nina also expected him to say that.

"You can think of the work of a voice actor as being similar to that of an actor, but the specialization is different and the scope of application is wider. As a voice actor, you can play any role, even non-humans, pets, or even aliens."

"Also, although voice actors now inevitably have to step into the spotlight, the main way the industry knows you is still through your voice. I prefer this feeling."

Renai was a little confused, and it was obvious that she didn't understand.

Seeing her reaction, Toru Uehara decided not to say anything more.

I tidied up my desk, took a few pens, and prepared to go out.

"You can sleep on the bed later. When you go out in the morning, remember to close the door for me."

"Eh, eh?"

"Where are you going, Uehara-san?"

"Didn't I tell you before that we're going to my friend's house?" Toru Uehara held a few scripts, put on his shoes, and walked out the door.

With a bang, the entrance door closed again.

The little girl, who hadn't quite come to her senses yet, blinked.

"Is it to avoid suspicion, or to reassure me?"
