I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"None of that...it's just that, I don't know...Mom, after I graduate from the voice actor school, will I no longer be able to meet with my teacher and have classes regularly?"

"Once the deal is over, will we become strangers? Will all the feelings we have accumulated before become meaningless..."

"If that's the case, then I wonder if it would be better if I acted a little more clumsy...?"

Mrs. Uesaka chuckled at her daughter's concerns.

"Mother……?"

"Oh my... You are so innocent and cute, Sumire-chan."

"Why do you have to cling to the teacher-student relationship?"

"Because the teacher is very nice to me, he is willing to accompany me to do things that I am interested in, which is something that other people can't do... Even if I pay them, they still act very reluctant."

"No wonder you couldn't find friends in high school." Mrs. Uesaka rubbed her brows and sighed, "Look at what your father taught you. I really want to punch him again."

"Listen carefully, Xiao Jin, the teacher-student relationship will become a shackle that restricts you when you want to take it a step further."

"It's enough to lay the foundation in the early stages, and the teacher-student relationship hasn't ended yet, right? It's normal and reasonable for your teacher to keep a distance from you. He had to say those words in front of your dad to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Even if he really doesn't have much affection for you, he definitely treats you as a student. You can take advantage of the fact that you are still a student and work hard to improve his favorability towards you. Use your charm as a beautiful girl. When the teacher-student relationship is dissolved, that will be your best chance."

"Of course, Mom is just providing you with a strategy. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. After all, I just want you to keep in touch with him so that it will be easier for us to matchmake in the future. Whether you succeed or not depends on you." Mrs. Uesaka talked freely, obviously very confident in her love strategy.

Sumire Uesaka was stunned by what she heard. She continued to ask, "Will our relationship become better if we are no longer teacher and student?"

"Of course, teachers and students are just good at the beginning, but if they don't improve or change in the later stage, they will be knocked out by other SSRs in one punch."

"Mom...you play too..."

"Ahem, that's not important. Also, Sumire-chan, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to study hard to become a voice actor? Why are you focusing on your teacher now?"

Uesaka Sumire blushed slightly: "Mom, I am studying hard, but I just feel it is too simple, so..."

"Anyway, don't be unhappy. If it doesn't work out, I can help you renew the subscription. Your teacher shouldn't mind being your private tutor for another year or so."

"Oh, I see."

After being encouraged by her mother, Sumire Uesaka's mood did improve. She silently wrote down several key points her mother said.

The girl's charm, improving favorability, and... ending the teacher-student relationship?

So her strategy is to use her charm to increase the teacher's favorability towards her, with the goal of developing the relationship further after it ends?

Thinking of this, Sumire Uesaka's face turned slightly red again, just like the flowers blooming in spring, filled with the breath of spring.

By that time, I should be a formal voice actor, right?

I'm kind of looking forward to it.

At this time, Toru Uehara was shopping in a nearby electronics store, and he couldn't help but call out Aqiu.

"Guest, are you okay? Do you need a tissue?"

"No, I brought my own." Uehara Toru looked at the dazzling array of game consoles and a large number of game discs, wiped his nose, and asked: "Can these things, including the TV, be delivered to my house later?"

"Hmm? If you live nearby...sure, I can deliver it to you."

"Okay... Then I want this PS5 console, plus this game, and you can help me pick out a few games that can be played online, and I also want to buy two controllers."

"Okay, no problem, then the payment..."

Toru Uehara took out his bank card from his wallet and walked over.

The reason he came to buy the game console was to prepare for the upcoming male voice actor gathering. Now everyone in the group knows that he has won the role of the protagonist. Although he is not sure who leaked the news, he did not say it himself, but they all knew it and were congratulating him. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

At that time, you can prepare a lot of ingredients in advance, have an outdoor barbecue, drink and chat, and play games together. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?

For Toru Uehara, who had never participated in such an event, he was unexpectedly excited at the moment. Although he did prefer a quiet environment, it was also a good choice to have friends come to his house occasionally to liven things up.

Since the store offered a delivery service, Toru Uehara decided to go home with their car.

It didn't take him long to quickly assemble the game console and put the TV in place. The wall in the middle of the living room was built-in, just right for the new TV.

The TV left by the landlord was not only small in size but also did not meet Toru Uehara's aesthetic standards, so he decided to buy a new one himself.

The worker pressed the remote control to make sure it could be turned on and connected to the network and the game console before leaving.

Before leaving, Toru Uehara politely handed the other party a bottle of water.

After everyone left, he sat down to study the game discs he had just bought.

Forza Motorsport 5, a racing game.

It Takes Two, The Breakup Kitchen, Sekiro, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Detroit Become Human, etc.

Monster Hunter: Rise.

After a while of choosing, Toru Uehara finally decided to try this game first. This game can be played directly with other players in the lobby.

If he feels good after trying it out, he can accept Hanae Natsuki's invitation and play together.

Natsuki Hanae voices the hunter character in this game, even though he did not choose it.

After entering the game interface, Toru Uehara customized the character according to the prompts of the UI system, which is called "face pinching", to create his own game character.

However, he did not delve too deeply into this aspect, randomly chose a character that looked relatively normal, and then entered the game.

As he entered the game, Toru Uehara searched the internet for a basic guide to the game and began to read quickly to understand the game.

After roughly understanding the process of the game, he began to control his game character to complete the tasks one by one. Then, he started to kill monsters himself to improve his game skills.

Playing the game seriously might feel a bit tiring at first, but once you get familiar with the game mechanics, it will soon be made up for by the positive feedback from the game itself, which will bring a new sense of excitement and thrill.

Time flies, from afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening, Uehara Toru has played the game for four or five hours, and the number of monsters he defeated is increasing. His operation is becoming more and more proficient, and he can even imitate and successfully perform some operations that can usually only be seen in game videos.

It is indeed convenient to have a strategy. You don’t need to think too much, just follow the steps in the strategy.

Toru Uehara has equipped his game character with good weapons and equipment. Holding a katana, he has chopped down almost all the visible monsters on the map.

"Let's test the online function one last time, then go take a shower."

"I don't know when the collection work will start. Is there no advance notice this time?"

Come to the Novice Village, find the cat demon, and choose to search the game hall.

Uehara Toru muttered to himself as he searched for a suitable room to join.

Soon, he noticed a very familiar ID.

Pleia?

What is An Hesuba's online name?

After clicking into the room, I quickly and successfully entered the online game.

Pleia's game character is a big sister with a chic ponytail, and the equipment on her body looks colorful and very conspicuous. Although Uehara Toru couldn't recognize the specific names of the equipment, he knew that these equipment must be rare items based on the level of the equipment.

The other person's character froze for a moment, then quickly responded.

"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"

A girl's voice was heard from the TV, and Uehara Toru knew clearly that it was An He Subaru without even having to identify it.

What a coincidence! I can meet her just by playing any online game. Is she a heavy game enthusiast?

This is indeed somewhat different from the image she has shown before.

"Hey, why are you so low level?"

"Newbie?"

"Hey... I was planning to wait for someone similar to me to fight the boss."

Toru Uehara typed some text and sent it to the chat box.

Perhaps because he was too familiar with the name, Toru Uehara didn't even bother to try whether there was any other duplicate names, and just honestly added a numeric suffix.

gin120: I am very strong.

Gin is the name of the protagonist of Hotaru no Mori, Yin.

An He Subaru: "Don't you have a microphone? You are also a PS5 player, right? The controller has a built-in microphone."

gin120: Stop talking nonsense, let’s fight or not.

Typing on the console is really hard.

Toru Uehara definitely doesn't want to expose his identity like this, that would be so boring.

An He Subaru: "... With your temper, okay, helping new players level up is also one of the compulsory courses for old people. Come on, I'll take you to fight a simpler boss."

-

"Look at my operation! Isn't it amazing!" An He Subaru quickly attacked the monster, causing heavy damage, and then Uehara Toru completed the final blow. She said with some pride, revealing an excitement that was difficult to conceal in her tone.

It's obvious that this little girl really loves playing games.

Uehara Toru smiled and turned on the microphone: "Great, great."

"Hehe, you can add me as your friend in the future. I'll take you out when I'm free. But I'm usually only free to play games at night, and I can only stay up with you until three or four o'clock at most. No more than that... hm?"

"Wait, why are you on the mic?"

And this voice, I always feel...

"Do you often play games until three or four o'clock?"

The cold male voice sounded again, and An Hesuba immediately realized who the other person was.

"Uehara-san!"

"No, no, I just occasionally..." She answered stutteringly, feeling as if she was caught playing games by her parents in the middle of the night. An Hesuba's cheeks gradually turned red as he curled up on the sofa.

An inexplicable feeling of shame arose spontaneously.

"Okay, I'll get off first."

"Hey, wait, Uehara-san... you, you're not going to say something to me?"

"What did you say?"

"You're criticizing me like you criticized Niina?"

Uehara Tetsu was puzzled: "You are not Niina, aren't you An He Subaru?"

"m?"

Seeing that Uehara Toru didn't understand what she meant, An He Subaru quickly changed the subject: "Then when will you be online next time, Uehara-san?"

"Let's talk about it later. It will be online when it goes online."

"I'm off. Bye."

As the sound disappeared, Uehara Toru's game character also disappeared from the screen. An Hesuba, who was originally nervous, suddenly felt a sense of loss. She put down the game controller and sighed softly.

"I'm Anhe Subaru, not Nina..."

"Uehara-san sometimes speaks in a very philosophical way, but I have no idea what he's saying," she muttered to herself, feeling a little confused.

"I'm Anhe Subaru, not Niina..."

"Yeah, I'm not Niina, why should I be scolded like her?"

An Hesuba's eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up, picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, and quickly sent a message to Uehara Toru.

Pleia: Uehara-san!

Pleia: I usually start playing at 8pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I am online all day on weekends!

Pleia: Remember to call me when you want to play! I'll take you flying!

After sending the message, An Hesuba sat back on the sofa and waited silently for a reply.

Two minutes later, Toru Uehara responded with an "OK" gesture.

Seeing this reply, An Hesuba smiled as sweetly as if he had tasted candied dates.

Volume 1: Chapter 58 First Dubbing

On Sunday morning, after waking up and completing his daily wash and bath, Toru Uehara was about to check on the situation in the courtyard when he received a message on his phone from his agent.

"Go to the cafe to meet the original author?"
