I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Uehara Toru nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was thinking that even if she looked at him with such expectant eyes, his evaluation would still remain fair.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tempura and put it into his mouth. The moment the oil burst on the tip of his tongue, he felt a little greasy, so he turned to the kelp dip, which just neutralized the greasiness.

After chewing carefully, Uehara Toru swallowed the food and gave his own evaluation.

"7 points."

"It tastes delicious, but the tempura isn't fried enough. I'll show you later."

"7 points...is it out of 10?" Rena Ueda asked with a smile. Her smile was gentle and sweet, and her voice was soft and pleasant.

"Correct."

"Then I am already very satisfied to have your approval, Uehara-kun."

“…There is still room for improvement.”

Afterwards, Toru Uehara came to the kitchen with Reina Ueda. After listening to her instructions, he made an even more delicious tempura on the spot.

However, when the tempura was out of the pot, Toru Uehara wanted her to get a bowl of rice, but Rena Ueda unexpectedly lifted her hair, slightly opened her pink lips, and took a bite of the tempura directly.

The scene instantly turned into Toru Uehara feeding her.

Ueda Reina immediately tasted it and commented: "Hmm... it is indeed much more delicious..."

"Sorry, Uehara-kun, I didn't mean it." Realizing that this action was not right, Rena Ueda's cheeks flushed. She took a small step back and apologized to him with a hint of shyness.

Uehara Toru was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, anyway, the temperature is like this, you just need to pay more attention next time."

At this time, Kotaro, who was observing the interaction between the two, meowed.

Come on! Mom!

Human, what are you doing?

This is not enough?!

How can you accomplish anything if you keep procrastinating?

Volume 1: Chapter 69: Solving the Band's Conflict

Toru Uehara's career is booming, but Xiaohaijie is facing a series of difficulties.

They finally gathered all the members to start practicing, but the rehearsal room suddenly announced that it would close, forcing them to find a more expensive rehearsal room. After practicing for a few days, the new rehearsal room was also contracted, which further compressed their running-in time.

In addition, there is the problem of livehouses. Due to their current lack of popularity and difficult start, their original plan to conquer various livehouses encountered setbacks before it even began. Large livehouses have high requirements for ticket sales, some require at least 100 people to attend, and some even require 200 people.

These requests were simply unrealistic for them. After a lot of twists and turns, they finally had to return to the place where their dream began, which was the livehouse that had previously accommodated the three of them.

Now, although the livehouse problem has been solved, they are facing a new problem.

The name of the band determines the image and style of the band, but for the New Kawasaki band, it seems that it is not so easy to decide. Different members have different opinions, and no one is willing to compromise.

Momoka's idea is to sell the songs first, but this has already made Ebizuka Satoshi dissatisfied. Now the band name cannot be decided, various trivial matters are piling up, and the atmosphere in the band has become tense.

Despite the help of the super invincible beautiful girl An He Subaru and the team, the problem still has not been solved.

Uehara Toru was playing games in the living room, listening to An and Subaru talking, mixed with a lot of self-praise. He couldn't help but ask, "You can't even think of a name for the band. Are you guys really serious about this band?"

An and Subaru were speechless for a moment: "I am serious about it. Nina and I both went to perform on the street very seriously."

“But you still can’t get 200 fans?”

"Well, because of rehearsals, plus we've only been there five or six times in total. Although x's account has indeed gained followers, it's really hard to say."

Uehara Toru controlled the game character and used his sword to attack the monster. After a minute of silence, he said, "How is Niina doing recently?"

The child hasn't come to see him much recently, but he has become more tactful.

But we still have to care about it.

"Nina... she and Momoka-nee also had a fight."

At this time, as the monster fell, Toru Uehara also stopped the game controller in his hand.

He was thinking, I just haven't paid attention to that place for half a month, has the situation become so bad?

Toru Uehara had a headache.

My advice to Momoka is that it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Ninai herself has a direction to work towards and has found her own destiny. An and Subaru have good personalities and have learned how to play drums. The two new members should also be members who are working hard to become professional.

No matter how you look at it, it should have been a perfect start, how did it turn out like this?

Toru Uehara suddenly had a feeling, as if he had set up the game to go idle, and came back half a month later to find that all his equipment was gone and his level had returned to level 1. This was probably the kind of absurd beauty.

"Pleiades."

"What's the matter, Uehara-san?"

"If it doesn't work, you guys should just disband."

"Uehara-san!!!"

Uehara Toru leaned back and said helplessly, "Just kidding, then why did Nina quarrel with Momoka?"

"It was because of Dia Dust. Last time, Rencai and I passed by a livehouse and saw their performance. She got really angry, and she was particularly critical of the lead singer."

"Anyway, he said a lot of nasty things."

"Since then, Rencai has regarded Dia Dust as her arch-enemy and said she wants to defeat them in the band industry."

Uehara Tetsu: “Isn’t this good?”

"But Sister Taoxiang doesn't think so. She thinks there's no need to do this. They can just go their own way. There's no need to make enemies. And... she seems to feel a little guilty about the band Dia Dust."

"Then, Xiaozhi's side is..."

"Alright, alright." Uehara Toru interrupted An and Subaru. He thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow night, all of you come to my house."

"Then resolve this matter completely, including the name and the dispute, and I will provide you with the stage."

"Eh? Can I come to visit Uehara-san's house?"

"Tomorrow is my last day off."

"By the way, I'm not free during the day, so remember to come after six in the evening."

Tomorrow morning, Toru Uehara has arranged a meeting with Natsuki Hanae, planning to go to his house to play games together and record a video.

Hanae Natsuki's YouTube channel has now accumulated 200 million subscribers, making him undoubtedly one of the top gaming vloggers in Japan. This achievement is truly amazing.

Being invited by him to participate in the game and appear on camera is an extremely valuable opportunity from any perspective, and its value is even comparable to the professional operation of the firm.

Of course, Toru Uehara was not considering this matter out of self-interest, he also wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Hanae Natsuki.

He knew that Hanae Natsuki's daughter was four years old this year, so he prepared gifts in advance.

Although it's just an ordinary puppet, it shouldn't be considered a disrespectful choice.

When An He Subaru heard what Uehara Toru said, she indicated that she had received it. Then after interrupting the voice, she slightly raised her head and looked at the ceiling.

"Take it, this is my last ripple!~"

"Really? It's so troublesome to form a band."

"Go take a shower."

-

The next morning, after finishing his morning run, Uehara Toru went to a convenience store to buy breakfast. After breakfast, he recalled the conversation last night.

He was considering whether to go directly to Renai or Momoka to learn more about the situation. But then he thought that it would be meaningless to do so. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If an outsider intervened in such a matter, he might get himself into unnecessary trouble.

After returning home, he took a shower and began to organize the gifts. He carefully wrapped the doll and prepared some side dishes that could be eaten directly, as well as specialties brought back from his last trip to Kumamoto, intending to bring one for Hanae Natsuki.

After he was almost ready, he sat in front of the TV to review the script.

There is only one last recording left for "Run with the Wind", and once it's done, all the recordings will be complete.

Next, Toru Uehara plans to participate in other auditions.

There is no new news yet, but to be honest, he doesn't mind even a minor role. Rather, he has played two main roles in a row, and he feels quite satisfied with it.

Although this idea may seem a little unambitious and inconsistent with his previous arrogant character, people will change.

Too many desires may affect his mentality, and maintaining a calm mindset will help him get the job done.

Toru Uehara sat at home until about nine o'clock, then went out to Hanae Natsuki's house.

-

Natsuki Hanae does not live in a single-family house, but in a suite in a high-end apartment building, which is usually more expensive the higher the floor.

He lives on the thirteenth floor, which shows that the value of his property is quite considerable.

Before entering the apartment, you need to go through a series of verification procedures, including entering the floor and specific room number of the person you are visiting, and then contacting them by phone.

"Hey, Hanae-senpai?"

"Oh, Uehara, okay, okay, you can come up now. My daughter and I are at home."

"Okay." After entering the elevator, Toru Uehara pressed the button for the 13th floor. Soon, as the elevator went up and the door opened, he had arrived at his destination.

He walked along the corridor and found Hanae Natsuki's home in the second to last room.

Unlike other families, the door of Hanae's house is covered with various two-dimensional stickers, as well as some simple graffiti, which are probably the work of Hanae's daughter.

Toru Uehara straightened his clothes and gently pressed the doorbell.

"Coming!"

Soon a voice was heard from inside the door, and then a big man wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, with slightly messy hair, came to open the door for Uehara Toru, holding a petite daughter in each hand.

"Good morning, Hanae-senpai."

"Good morning, good morning, wait, why did you bring so many things here?"

Uehara Tetsu was a little embarrassed: "It's just my first time as a guest. I was embarrassed to come empty-handed, so I brought a few gifts."

Hanae Natsuki looked at Uehara Toru's arms full of gifts, which were almost as big as his daughter's. He couldn't help but complain: "Uehara, your small gift is a bit too exaggerated."

"Dad, who is he?" one of the daughters asked in a childish voice.

The other daughter opened her eyes wide and stared at Toru Uehara with curiosity.

"Ah, he's dad's friend, his name is Uehara Toru, you can just call him Uncle Uehara."

"Uehara, this is Xiaohua, and this is Xiaoxia. They look alike, don't they?"

Uehara Toru looked at the twin daughters, and his facial expression softened all of a sudden. He smiled and nodded: "They are both very cute. As expected of Hanae-senpai's daughters."

"Well, come in first, I'll get you something to drink."

"Ok."

As soon as they entered the door, the twins got off their father directly. Xiaoxia and Xiaohua curiously rubbed against Uehara Toru's feet and looked at him curiously.

"Big brother, why are you so handsome?"

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

If someone else asked this question, Uehara Toru might get angry, but he is always very patient with children. This may be his truest side.

Toru Uehara squatted down and handed them two packaged dolls with a smile.

"This is a little gift my brother brought for you. You can open it and see if you like it."

The two little girls blinked and immediately turned around to look at their father.

Hanae Natsuki turned around from the refrigerator and said with a smile, "You can take the gifts, but remember to thank them. You must be a polite child."

"Know it!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Upon hearing this, Uehara Toru smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome."

-

"Oh, Uehara, you don't have to worry so much." Hanae Natsuki noticed the specialties and side dishes brought by Uehara Toru, and felt a little embarrassed that as a senior, she had not prepared anything beforehand.

Uehara Toru shook his head and chuckled, "That's what I should do."

"Hanae-senpai, where is the restroom?"

"Oh, it's just around the corner over there. By the way, Toru, just call me Natsuki from now on. Hanae is my stage name, and Natsuki is my real name."
