I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"Well, let's go!"

Uehara Toru was leaning against the seat in the carriage. When someone approached, he quickly raised his head, and his eyes changed from joy to indifference. He looked at the high school girl in front of him who seemed a little nervous, and just stared at her indifferently without saying anything.

Xiangzi covered her chest tightly and stepped forward to ask, "That..."

Toru Uehara's patience was almost exhausted, and when he was about to turn around and leave the carriage, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Uehara-san!"

On the other side, a beautiful girl with long black hair wearing a standard high school girl uniform and a child carrying a big guitar ran over quickly. Fortunately, there were not many people in this carriage, otherwise they would probably trip and fall if they were running around like this.

Toru Uehara looked at the two children, and the expression on his face was like an iceberg melting. The cold and resistance to others just now disappeared in an instant.

The kid sister walked up to him happily and said, "I just said that person was you, but Subaru said it was impossible because you couldn't laugh so loudly."

An He Subaru was a little unconvinced: "It's true that it doesn't fit with the image that Uehara-san has always had..."

The little kid raised her head and said, "But I saw it right away. Isn't it because of you?"

Uehara Toru patted her head and said softly, "Be quiet."

"Everyone around is looking at you two."

An He Subaru was the first to behave herself. She stood next to Uehara Toru and grinned at the female high school students opposite her.

The high school girls' faces turned dark, but they were speechless. When they arrived at the next stop, they decisively pulled Xiangzi away.

Renai stood in front of Uehara Tetsu and sniffed him carefully: "Why do you smell like barbecue? Did you go for a barbecue?"

"Don't get so close to us at a dinner after work."

"Tsk, by the way, Subaru and I went out for our first roadshow today, and we received tips, isn't that awesome!"

"Maybe people find you more pitiful."

"certainly not!"

"They thought I played the guitar so well, so they asked me to play it in another place, and then they gave me a reward!"

At this time, as a new group of passengers entered the carriage, the door just closed.

Renai's words plunged the carriage into a dead silence again.

But Toru Uehara couldn't help himself and burst out laughing.

"Isn't it just that they thought you were too noisy and asked you to leave? Did you run to the door of someone's shop to perform?"

Renai's face gradually turned red, and she stared at Uehara Toru stubbornly: "What can we do? Those places in the park have been occupied in advance, and no one will give us a seat if we go there..."

An Hesuba also felt a little embarrassed about this. After all, she was one of the parties involved in this matter.

"Stupid, remember to tell me next time you encounter something like this, have you forgotten that I'm your boss?"

"What's the point of looking for you..." Renna was actually embarrassed to disturb him because she knew he was very busy with work recently.

Uehara Toru thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Tomorrow night, I will take you to the park to find a good spot. The unspoken rules of this street performance are quite interesting."

"The strong ones stay. Most people will still abide by this unspoken rule."

Nina listened to these reassuring words and nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

An and Subaru watched from the side, with a faint smile on their faces.

As expected, Nina still needs a reliable adult around to settle down.

I don’t know how Sister Taoxiang is doing recently. Is she still living as chaotically as before?

……

At Rupa and Xiaozhi's house, Momoka stared at the music charts with her eyes. They had created several songs together, and all of them had passed the review and were officially uploaded to the music platform.

"If we can make it into the top 50, it means that our strength has been recognized." Ebizuka Satoshi muttered to himself, clicking the mouse repeatedly to refresh the page.

Rupa and Momoka stood close to each other, both looking very nervous, because their song had already ranked at the crucial 53rd place, only four places away from entering the top fifty.

"Why hasn't it been updated yet? Logically, there should be a ranking change..."

"Wait, Ash!"

Taoxiang suddenly shouted, "48th place! We're in the top !"

Rupa immediately happily took Momoka's arm and said with a smile, "We really made it into the top 50."

Xiaozhi, who was sitting in front of the computer, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She lay on the computer desk a little tiredly and sighed softly: "It's okay... It's not that difficult."

Since joining the band half a month ago, they have been intensively composing music, writing lyrics, arranging music, and making various post-production modifications. This level of work intensity is something she has never experienced before.

Although the current results can indeed prove their strength, but... it is really tiring.

Who on earth came up with this perverted suggestion? If she knew about this, she would definitely hold him responsible!

-

Uehara Toru, who had no idea that he was about to face a reckoning, was busy tidying up his own yard. Suddenly, he heard a loud call from Nina behind him.

"You, when did you go to Kumamoto?" Nina asked, holding the packaging bags of the Yonojin Taiko and the Mushafan pancakes in her hands.

While watering the flowers in the garden, Toru Uehara was thinking about how to keep these plants growing in the future. Should he continue planting flowers in the garden or switch to growing vegetables? This is indeed a question worth pondering.

"Just yesterday, due to work requirements, I went to Kumamoto for a photo shoot."

"You didn't even tell me!"

"Why should I tell you?" Uehara Toru thought that Renai's question was a bit ridiculous. Adults go out to work and earn money, so do they need to report their work locations to children? That doesn't make sense.

"I...I will be worried about you!" Rencai looked at the familiar snacks from her hometown, and her heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.

"Nina, your family is also from Kumamoto, right?" An Hesuba at the side took a bag of snacks and asked, "Uehara-san, can I open it?"

"Go ahead and tear it down, but don't take everything. I'm going to have guests over in a few days."

"Guests?" An, Subaru and Nina were startled.

"Yeah, what, do you have any objections?"

"By the way, Toru, is this a male or female guest?"

At that moment, the showerhead in Uehara Toru's hand had already moistened the soil with water. He turned around, looked at the two curious children with a bright smile, and asked word by word: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"I'm going to rest."

"You should go home."

Nina and An He Subaru were forcibly sent out of the door, each holding a bag of snacks from Kumamoto in their arms, and the two stood facing each other.

"Subaru, do you think it's a male or female guest?"

"I think it's a man. You've seen Uehara-san's resistance to women."

"But... we can't rule out the possibility that it's a female guest. After all, aren't there a lot of female voice actors in the dubbing industry?"

"When the time comes, shall we come over and take a look?"

An He Subaru looked at her with wide eyes: "Aren't you afraid of making Yuan-san angry?"

Rencai said seriously, "I'm here to support him, how could I make him angry?"

"If you don't come, I'll go by myself."

"...Of course I'll come!" An Hesuba thought that if Renai had a tendency to get into trouble, she could help look after her.

"It's settled then. When you go to the park with him to grab a spot tomorrow, come and ask him about it."

"why me?"

"Because you are good at lying, I can only speak frankly."

"…Nina, I think you are becoming more and more like Uehara-san in some ways."

Rencai's eyes lit up slightly, and she said complacently, "That's normal."

An Hemai just shook his head slightly and thought to himself: Can't you hear that I'm mocking you?

What a fool Rencai is.

-

The next night, Toru Uehara fulfilled his promise and took Nina, An and Subaru to a park where street performances were frequent.

In this area, basically everyone you look around is a band member.

Most of these people have dreams and are full of expectations for opportunities in big cities, but they often just stay where they are, hoping that someone will notice their talents.

To be honest, their ideas are actually very simple, but even so, there is an unwritten rule between them.

The strong can dominate the weak, that is, in street performances, performers will use their playing and singing skills as weapons. The winner is the king. The winner can occupy the spot, while others need to give way.

After Uehara Toru explained this unspoken rule, Nina, An and Subaru all found it a little hard to believe, with suspicion written all over their faces.

"Is this true..." Nina said doubtfully.

"Those people with tattoos on their faces don't look easy to deal with. Uehara-san, are you sure this method really works?" An Hesuba also expressed his concerns.

Uehara Toru smiled and motioned for Nina to hand him the guitar.

He took the guitar, put it on his back expertly, and walked directly towards the three band members in the middle of the park.

The three band members were indeed dressed more eye-catchingly than each other, with their hair dyed in various bright colors, and their manners and temperaments revealed an uninhibited and flamboyant attitude. Their eyes revealed absolute confidence, as if they were announcing that they were the protagonists here.

Nina and Anhe Subaru followed closely behind, and as they watched Uehara Toru approach him step by step, they couldn't help but become nervous.

"What can I do for you?" one of them asked.

Toru Uehara didn't say anything, but just plucked the guitar strings lightly, making a crisp sound.

The three opponents exchanged glances, then smiled and said, "Interesting, it's been a long time since anyone dared to challenge our position."

"You guys go first, or us?"

Uehara Toru: “All is fine.”

"Then you come first, let me see what you are capable of to dare to challenge our position." The red-haired man with a Mohawk licked his lips. There was obvious provocation and a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at Uehara Toru.

Uehara Toru turned around and looked at Nina and Yasuhiro who were still in a daze, and waved to them.

Rencai was still a little confused: "Why, what happened?"

"Whatever song you want to sing, I'll accompany you later and you can just use their microphone to perform."

"Hey, is it really okay?" Renai looked at the three band members who were dressed extravagantly and whom people usually had to avoid when they saw them. She pursed her lips, obviously very nervous.

Uehara Toru: "I've said that musicians always speak with music, which is the best way to communicate. It's useless to try to say something flattering."

An He Subaru looked at Uehara Toru's confident expression and slowly began to feel a little excited. She pulled the cajon she brought with her, found a suitable place to sit on it, and said with a smile, "I'm ready."

"Nina, what song do you want to sing? Have you chosen it yet?"

Renai was stunned. In her sight, more and more people were looking at her, and most of them were band members or solo street singers performing in the park.

This is not an ordinary audience...

but……

I'm not afraid!

After encouraging herself mentally, Nina looked at Toru Uehara beside her and said with a smile, "I want to sing "Pretender"!" - the JP theme song of "The Confidence Man".

"Okay." Toru Uehara connected someone else's speakers, adjusted his posture, and started playing.

First there is a pleasant prelude, with notes jumping lightly and playfully, and then the sound of the instruments becomes passionate.

Uehara Toru's playing skills quickly attracted the attention of most people in the park.

After all the preludes were laid, Renai's clear voice rang out, as refreshing as the spring breeze and summer soda, and everyone present was dazzled as soon as she opened her mouth.

My love story with you

As expected

Once it starts, it's my one-man show...

Nina was completely immersed in her singing, and even though her voice was still a little immature, her naturally gifted voice and straightforward and firm expression fit the song perfectly.

"Although I can't entrust you with a lifelong commitment, I still want to say it."

“You are so beautiful.”
