I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"You're welcome, Toru-kun."

Watching the interaction between the two, beads of sweat appeared on Rencai's forehead. "What is this thing used for?"

Uehara Toru's voice was calm and steady: "I'll count to five."

"one……"

"two."

"five!"

"You're cheating!!!" Renai jumped up in fright and started running around the house.

Toru Uehara followed her leisurely, watching her jumping up and down, his face still keeping a calm expression.

And An Hemai finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahaha!~”

The girl's clear laughter was mixed with the wails of another girl.

“Don’t hit me!!”

When Uehara Toru actually caught Nina, she thought she was really going to be beaten, but she didn't expect him to just pick her up and throw her out of the house.

In the end, he didn't do it.

Toru Uehara stared at Nina who was standing outside the door and pointed outside.

"roll."

Renai was relieved to see that he didn't actually hit her.

"Boss, help me, just this once."

Toru Uehara casually waved the dog-beating bat in his hand.

"Give me 10 million and I'll help you cover up this lie."

"Ten million?!" Rencai exclaimed, then looked helpless.

"Boss, can I owe you first?"

Uehara Toru shook his head: "Some people always take my kindness for granted. To be honest, you really do deserve a beating."

The child pouted, pulled at the fence, and stared at Toru Uehara.

Toru Uehara wanted to say something else when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took out his cell phone and took a look, and found that it was a message from Sumire Uesaka.

Sumire Uesaka's online name was originally a Russian name for a Soviet tank model, but it has now been changed to Pansy.

Pansy: Uehara-san, are you free today?

I cook the best food: What’s up?

Pansy: It's like this. Today is the day that Ao-chan is holding a drama performance at school, and now we need to invite some friends to come over to support us. We are still short of a few spots. If you are free, I would like to invite you to go with us.

Uehara Toru pondered for a moment.

Acting?

I heard that drama is a completely different form of performance from acting and voice acting. Although Toru Uehara has heard of it and knows a little about it, he has never seen it in person.

Moreover, this drama performance should be held in a university. He has never visited a university, so it would be a good choice to go there.

"What are you looking at?" Rencai came over curiously.

Without saying a word, Toru Uehara grabbed her head and rubbed it hard twice.

He grinned slightly, "Ninai, didn't you say you didn't want to study anymore?"

"Hmm...?" Nina looked confused.

"Then how about I take you to the university and we experience it for ourselves?" Toru Uehara suggested.

To be honest, he didn't want to take the blame for this little brat. Wouldn't it be funny if her parents came to him and said that he was the one who led her astray?

It was impossible for Toru Uehara to create such trouble for herself, but if this little brat didn't convince her, she would keep coming to bother her.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, it would be a convenient move to take her directly to the university to have a look and experience it firsthand.

If she still stubbornly refuses to do it, we'll talk about it later.

Toru Uehara shook his head. His temper was visibly getting better.

Renai tilted her head and looked at him, "Toru?"

"Call me boss!" Uehara Toru attacked with his backhand.

"It hurts!——" The little girl's cry of pain cut through the sky.

……

Following the friction sound of the tram tracks and the air puffing sound of the carriage doors, Toru Uehara, Nina, and Subaru Yasu walked out of the station together.

Nina asked curiously, "Waseda University... you actually know anyone here?"

"Didn't you go to college too?"

An He Subaru was stunned when she heard this. It was the first time she heard of this and she looked at Uehara Toru in surprise.

"Just a friend of a friend, let's go." Toru Uehara walked calmly in front, exited Waseda Station, turned right and went forward.

On the left are Waseda Junior High School and Senior High School. Turn right at the first traffic light and you will see some atmospheric Western food shops, trees and cafes.

The green coverage near universities is always exaggerated, and for a world-famous school like Waseda University, the overall environment is needless to say.

It was the first time for Nina to visit someone else's university, so she felt very fresh. An He Subaru was not surprised, as she had visited the University of Tokyo when she first came to Tokyo. However, she walked briskly, because no matter what she did, it was generally interesting to follow Tetsu's words.

After a leisurely stroll and appreciation, the three finally stepped into the campus of Waseda University. Their eyes were attracted by a statue, and next to the statue, an elegant girl in a white dress was standing gracefully.

It was Sumire Uesaka who I hadn't seen for a while. She seemed to have changed again. She had a mature face, but her temperament in the past always had a hint of immaturity, which made her look like a child in Uehara Toru's eyes. However, now, that childishness seemed to have completely faded, replaced by a kind of dignity and elegance that only a real lady possesses, as well as a peaceful temperament.

She stood there, like a beautiful scenery on campus, making people stop and admire her.

"Mr. Uehara." Sumire Uesaka walked slowly in front of Toru Uehara and smiled at him. It can be seen that she was actually a little nervous, as evidenced by her pinching of her hands, but her overall performance was still quite decent.

Uehara Toru: "Sumi, good morning."

The little girl stared at Sumire Uesaka in a daze. Although they had met before, her temperament changed so much that she almost couldn't react.

"Hello, Jingqin-san, Anhe-san."

"Hello, hello, Miss Uesaka."

"My friend's show is about to start in half an hour. Are you thirsty? Do you need some water?"

Uehara Tetsu and Yasuhiro shook their heads. Nina nodded.

Uesaka Sumire smiled gently: "Then let's go over there first."

Walking forward, you can see a club distributing water for free. Sumire Uesaka gave everyone a bottle, which directly solved the problem of drinking water.

Rencai looked at the people in these societies and found it a little strange: "Are they doing charity?"

"You can understand it this way. Look carefully at the banner above - protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility."

“All used water bottles should be returned here for reuse.”

"Huh?" Rencai just opened it and took a sip.

Uehara Toru: "Stupid, it's not like they're refilling it for you to drink, they're probably going to make it into some kind of handicraft and then put it up for exhibition."

"Eh——" An He Subaru looked at Uehara Tetsu with some curiosity, thinking that he really knew everything. This was obviously his first time here.

Sumire Uesaka was already used to Toru Uehara's erudition, but she was trying hard not to look at him. She was also constantly whispering to herself to brainwash herself.

"You can't worship, you can't worship, you can't worship..."

An and Subaru couldn't hear what Sumire Uesaka was saying, but they were still quite curious.

Along the way, the four of them walked and looked at the various buildings, teaching buildings, and environment of Waseda. In fact, they did not meet many students. After all, it was not the school anniversary, and everyone was doing their own things, either studying or going out to carry out their own activities.

But the overall feeling of the school is that it is relaxed, suitable and comfortable. If you can study in such a university for four years, it is indeed a rare enjoyment.

Toru Uehara noticed a hint of expectation in Nina's eyes, but he said nothing and just continued walking forward.

Soon, they arrived at the Dr. Tsubouchi Memorial Theater Museum, where Yuuki Aoi was about to perform. This is a combination of a museum and a theater, and the Waseda University Theater Department often borrows props from here for performances. In addition to traditional Kabuki and regular stage plays, there are also Rakugo (comic dialogue) and Noh plays.

What they are going to watch today should be the latter.

Kabuki usually requires an all-male cast, but with Yuuki Aoi being able to take the stage, it was clear that was not the case for today’s performance.

After finding their seats and sitting down, they were approximately in the middle of the auditorium. There were not many spectators, with only about half of the seats occupied, and the remaining seats seemed a little empty.

However, Toru Uehara liked this atmosphere very much. He sat next to Renai, using her as a natural barrier, and leaned against the corner, quietly waiting for the stage play to begin.

Nina looked around the venue, turned to Uehara Toru beside her and said, "It feels like in addition to the large scale, the club activities here are also many times more professional than in high school..."

Uehara Toru nodded without comment: "Of course."

"Well...if we get into university, can we also perform in places like this?" Nina's tone was filled with a hint of eagerness. After seeing and experiencing it with her own eyes, she began to fantasize.

After all, her student days were not perfect and left her with many regrets.

Uehara Toru replied: "Of course it is possible, you will need to apply when the time comes."

"But there's more to university than just these activities."

"What is that?" Renai asked curiously.

Uehara Toru replied coldly: "I don't know, figure it out yourself."

As someone who already understands Nina's personality, Uehara Toru knows that whenever he tries to persuade her, this little brat will go against him, so it's better to say nothing or introduce too much, and let her experience it for herself.

But to be honest, Toru Uehara is now thinking about whether his original choice was correct.

At that time, the reason I didn't go to college was not only because I felt it was meaningless and I wanted to do what I liked, but it was also probably because I was rebelling against my parents.

Having been an obedient child for more than ten years, he made a truly rebellious choice under the influence of multiple memories of his past life.

It seems that I am really similar to this little brat... except that I'm not as dumb as her.

After pondering for a moment, Toru Uehara quickly gave up this idea.

I'm wrong, so what?

Every step I take is decided by myself, so I will not regret it.

At this moment, the curtain on the stage slowly opened.

With the bright lights on the stage and the exquisite scenery visible, the performance officially began.

Volume 1: Chapter 76 I was kidding!

The program of this play is based on the famous legend "The Bell of Dojoji Temple" from Japanese traditional stories.

This story tells of a woman named Kiyohime who developed a deep love for a monk. However, in order to get rid of Kiyohime's entanglement, the monk not only lied but also broke his promise, which eventually led to Kiyohime turning into hatred out of love, and she turned into a giant snake and broke into the temple, dying together with the monk.

For Uehara Toru, who was familiar with this story, he only felt that it was chilling. He could not understand Kiyohime's extreme behavior at all - to die together with her just because she did not respond to his feelings.

The actress who played Kiyohime on the stage was none other than Yuuki Aoi. Her petite figure was particularly eye-catching on the stage. Especially when she danced gracefully in the center of the stage and poured all her emotions into her beloved, the scene was truly beautiful and touching.

But Uehara Toru only thought it was normal. However, he noticed that Yuuki Aoi enjoyed being on stage, as if this was what she really loved.

The stage play ended quickly, and the final part where the giant snake and the monk died together was performed by other actors wearing props. Yuuki Aoi only had to dub behind the scenes, and her voice was full of heart-wrenching emotions, making people feel the despair of Kiyohime who could not get the person she loved.

Toru Uehara felt a chill, but the three girls beside him were moved.

“How romantic…”

"Qingji is really bold in love and hate."

"But Qing Ji is also very pitiful..."

Uehara Toru could only remain silent, but when the stage play was completely over, he still applauded with everyone else. Yuuki Aoi's performance was indeed worthy of praise, and her level was impressive. It was no wonder that she was able to enter the school and graduate quickly like Sumire Uesaka.

Soon after, Yuuki Aoi, who had taken off her Japanese-style clothes and heavy makeup, slowly walked over to them. When she noticed so many people, she was stunned at first, and then saw the familiar face of Uehara Toru, and her expression became a little helpless. She looked at Uesaka Sumire and sighed softly.

"We're going to clear the place for others to use in a while. The Rakugo that follows is a half-finished program. It's not funny and not interesting. Do you still want to watch it?" Yuuki Aoi's voice was calm but with a hint of arrogance.

Nina looked at the little girl in front of her who was even shorter than herself. She found it hard to connect her with the radiant Kiyohime on the stage just now, and she couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Uehara Toru stood up and said, "Let's go, it would be nice to walk around the campus."
