I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Shimazaki Nobunaga looked at each other, stood up, and prepared to help Uehara Toru and the others.

When Hanae Natsuki and Ishikawa Kaito saw this, they followed as well, leaving Nakamura Yuichi sitting next to Sugita Tomokazu.

Sugita Tomokazu: "Yuichi, I knew you were the only one who could understand me."

Nakamura Yuichi took the last bite of the barbecue and rolled his eyes: "You're crazy."

Then, Nakamura Yuichi also stood up and joined them, and the grill became lively all of a sudden. Originally, only Nina and Yasushi were helping with the grilling, but now everyone gathered around, grilling their own ingredients, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.

Barbecue is a kind of food that is much more fun to DIY when friends gather together than to simply wait to eat it. Even if the final product is not so perfect, the sense of participation and satisfaction is indescribable.

While grilling the skewers, everyone started chatting.

An and Subaru listened to Hanae Natsuki's voice, looked at his signature squinting eyes, and suddenly realized something.

"Are you the live streamer of the game?"

“The one that’s really popular lately!”

Just now at the door, An and Subaru only took a quick glance, but now after observing carefully for a while from a close distance, they can finally confirm it.

Huajiang seemed a little happy: "Yeah, do you like playing games too?"

"Yeah, I watched your videos when I was looking for games to play. The games you played were quite interesting."

"Ahahaha, actually it's not the game itself that's interesting, it's my friends. Games are fun only when you play with friends."

An Hesuba's eyes lit up slightly, indicating his approval: "Indeed."

"I have a game console at home. You can play together later." Toru Uehara, who was busy teaching people, also took the time to say something to them.

Hanae exclaimed: "Uehara-san, you are so thoughtful in your preparations. Next time you come to my house, I don't know how to entertain you."

Uehara Toru was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Just be casual."

"Fire! Fire!" When Rencai saw a raging fire suddenly break out on the grill, he quickly took a few steps back.

The others were also a little frightened. They had obviously never seen a fire of this magnitude. Uehara Toru said calmly, "Take the skewers away first. I'll take care of the rest."

He gently pried open the iron net on the side, then poured in more charcoal that had not been used, and stirred it with a stick. Soon, the original fire began to spread evenly.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed: "Amazing, Uehara."

Uehara Toru chuckled: "It's okay, let's continue."

"Hiina, your skewer is already grilled, help yourself."

"Eh?"

Jinna looked at the skewers handed over by Uehara Tetsu and blinked: "I'm not here..."

"Eat it if you're told to."

"Also, thank you for coming here to support us." Toru Uehara turned his back and said softly.

Although the voice was very low, Renai did hear it. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she moved closer to him.

The courtyard was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and everyone was clinking glasses of wine or juice, tasting skewers, and chatting about daily trivia. In the night, the smell of fireworks slowly rose.

……

After dinner, everyone gathered together to play games. Several young people, led by Hanae Natsuki, were passionate about the game, but they all lost to An and Subaru without exception.

Although An and Subaru agreed with Hanae's point of view that games are fun only when played with friends, she is naturally focused on winning or losing in games, so she cannot deliberately let the game go.

Every time Matsuoka participated in the game, it seemed like he was just giving away points. Helplessly, he could only sit down with Shimazaki Nobunaga and start playing their mobile game, preparing to draw a few cards to calm down.

"Ahhh! We lost again, Subaru-chan, can't you just let us win?"

An He Subaru stuck out his tongue and moved it slightly towards his lips. She smiled and said, "No, it would be meaningless if we let him go."

On the other side, Tomokazu Sugita was trying to communicate with the little girl. He, Yuichi Nakamura, the little girl, and Kaito Ishikawa were playing playing cards - Napoleon.

It is a four-player game using 52 playing cards. The goal of the game is to use strategy and cooperation to get more points for your side. The game includes calling, playing, and holding the bottom cards. The winner is determined by comparing the scores of both sides.

The little girl is in a group with Tomokazu Sugita. She is playing the game seriously, but Tomokazu Sugita is not.

"Nina-chan, do you know much about Uehara?"

"Ok?"

"Well, it's a lot."

"Then tell me secretly, is he being kept by a rich woman?"

"Rich, rich woman?"

Yuichi Nakamura and Kaito Ishikawa on the opposite side seemed to be hesitant to speak.

This bastard is going to teach the kid bad things again.

"Yeah, and there might be more than one rich woman, steel wool or something like that, have you heard of it?"

"That's enough Sugita-san!"

"You'd better shut up!" Yuichi Nakamura and Kaito Ishikawa stepped forward and pushed him down to stop him from talking nonsense in front of the children.

The little girl held her cards in her hand in a daze, looked at the messy card table, and wanted to ask a question.

Is this game still played?

"Nina-chan, forget it, you should stop playing with him."

"Apart from dirty jokes, his mind is filled with all kinds of incomprehensible nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

"oh oh……"

"It's okay, Niina-chan. Sooner or later, I will pass on my legacy to Uehara. He will definitely be able to &*&*&*——"

"Please give me some sleep!"

Jinna watched their lively and interesting interactions and did not feel repulsed. Instead, she felt that humans are indeed diverse.

She thought, as Toru Uehara became more and more popular and more successful as a voice actor, there would be more and more guests coming into this house in the future, right?

Then, as his younger brother, I should also learn how to entertain others. How about using Yoshinoya's standards?

Wait, speaking of which, where did he go?

Nina walked towards the moonlit courtyard, and as soon as she stepped out, she saw Toru Uehara sitting in a hammock and talking on the phone.

There was a faint smile on his face.

"well……"

"I see."

"Sure, I'm absolutely fine."

After Toru Uehara hung up the phone, he turned his gaze to Nina not far away. She was standing there staring at him blankly. The scene was really like he had adopted a daughter.

Although he has never even been in a relationship, he seems to have gone through this stage in advance. Toru Uehara feels that his mentality is a bit ridiculous.

"come over."

"What's wrong?" Rencai's eyes looked moist and sparkling under the moonlight at night, and she looked really cute when she was well-behaved.

"Good news. I got another job. It's an animation that will be aired in April. The voice actor of the main character suddenly had a problem. I have to run for the replacement."

"Oh, then go for it."

"Yeah, work hard and cherish every opportunity." Toru Uehara put his hand on Nina's head and rubbed it with a chuckle.

"When I get this role, I'll treat you guys to a feast."

Nina felt Uehara Toru's genuine concern, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she said, "No, I should treat you this time."

"What are you treating me to, beef bowl?"

"I'd like to invite you to eat Kobe beef!"

"Haha, okay, I'll wait."

"I took you there yesterday to try it out once. From now on, you can go there with Subaru openly for the roadshow. No one will make things difficult for you."

"If you encounter any problems, you can also try to ask them for help. When you go out, those people should also help you."

"Oh, I see."

"By the way, Momoka-san said their song has made it into the top 50 on the charts. Should we start composing our own songs?"

Uehara Toru looked a little puzzled: "You can create anytime, but which list do you mean by the top fifty?"

"It's the O chart daily chart, and it seems to have been bought by an idol group."

"Let me check..." Toru Uehara took out his cell phone and quickly found the song under Nina's guidance, and the two of them listened to it together.

Listening to the gorgeous and beautiful arrangement and the perfect piano solo, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on Toru Uehara's face.

“It’s good enough indeed.”

"With your current strength, you can definitely surpass your level from half a month ago."

"It's time to start preparing for the show."

When Renna heard his words, she felt so proud and excited that she nodded involuntarily.

The future that was once vague is now becoming clearer and clearer.

Volume 1: Chapter 63: Audition Opportunity Blown by the Strong Wind

The temporary job that Toru Uehara received was to run for the replacement role for the protagonist of the new April anime "Run with the Wind", Zou Kawahara (Zou).

Early the next morning, Toru Uehara got the script at the agency and met his agent for a rare occasion.

"The other party requires us to participate in the audition tomorrow. If we pass the selection, we will immediately participate in the recording. Because it will be aired this weekend night, everyone is very anxious." The agent explained.

"Why is it so sudden?"

The agent shook his head: "I don't know, maybe something happened at home. Don't worry about it for now. What you need to do now is to go back and practice hard and try to get this role in one fell swoop!"

"In this way, you will have two leading roles. Although it is not a lot, it is enough to show off in front of those directors. Next time there is a big series like Weekly Shonen Jump, if you run for it, your chances of being selected will be much higher!"

Uehara Toru nodded: "I understand, don't be so excited."

"Everything is an opportunity. It's an opportunity now. I've endured for five years. Finally, my luck has turned. I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to train new people. I want to boost sales!" The agent also left as if he had been injected with chicken blood, shaking his head crazily.

Toru Uehara looked at his agent's departing back, smiled gently, then as usual, sat down on a chair in the lobby and began to read his script.

However, unlike the previous period of obscurity, now that he was sitting here, every time someone came in and out, especially the newcomers, would nod to him frequently, which made Uehara Toru feel a little subtle.

He was no longer the man who was completely indifferent to the ways of the world, so every time someone nodded to him, he had to nod back. This nodding back and forth made it impossible for him to concentrate on the script.

"We have to find another place."

-

Toru Uehara walked while carefully reading the script.

Run with the Wind tells the story of a group of college students who run hard to participate in the Hakone Ekiden. The whole story does not have a big ups and downs, but is more realistic, recording the runners' daily training and efforts, as well as the results they finally get.

Obviously, compared with common two-dimensional animations, this work lacks the strong atmosphere of otaku culture.

Toru Uehara went to the bookstore, bought the original version of "Run with the Wind", and became more convinced after reading it in the park.

For a role like this, his experiential approach to interpretation seems to be most useful.

The protagonist was once a top runner in high school. He needed to capture what it felt like to run, the actual breathing rhythm while running, and the inner experience.

Moreover, Toru Uehara feels that he and the character of Kurashige Kagura are highly similar in personality. They are both a little awkward, but have the same persistence and perseverance in the things they love.

After closing the book, Toru Uehara showed a confident and determined look.

He was determined to get this role.

He observed the ordinary running enthusiasts in the park, thought for a while, decided to find a place to store his books and scripts, and then started running.

The Hakone Ekiden is a long-distance relay race, with each runner usually covering a distance of about 20 kilometers. For him, running a half marathon all at once might be a challenge, but running 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers today is not a big problem for his body.

Once your body has adapted, you can consider training for a half marathon.

Uehara Toru was an absolute man of action. Like a gust of fresh air, he started running without hesitation despite wearing clothes and shoes that were not designed for sports.

Facing the strong wind, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
