It's Here, It's Here! That Anime Finally Arrived!

Hanazawa Sakura asked with concern, "By the way, Shu-chan, you're a senior in high school now, right? Are you going to university or go straight to work?"

Shuya: "..."

He pushed Hanazawa Sakura away and said politely, "President Hanazawa, please have some self-respect and don't hug me like that."

"Ugh! What's with this distant attitude?! Is this the rebellious phase?! Is this what they call the rebellious phase?! Waaah!"

Hanazawa Sakura was struck dumb.

Haruno laughed and said, "President, Shu-chan is only a sophomore in high school!"

"President..."

Maeda Saori also gave a wry smile.

"No, it's just that I got it wrong for a year, sob sob."

Hanazawa Sakura wiped away fake tears.

"It's no use whining."

Shuya replied irritably.

"Oh well."

Hanazawa Sakura sat back in her chair, picked up her teacup, and took a delicious sip.

"..."

Shuya was speechless.

Good morning, everyone!

A familiar voice sounded at the door.

"Good morning, Hyakka Sauce."

Shuya turned around and greeted him.

Sonoo Hyakka walked in with a spirited air.

Six years have passed, and Hyakka Sauce hasn't changed much.

She hasn't grown much taller; it seems like she stopped growing in middle school. But she's only a sophomore in high school, so she should still have room to grow... right? Probably.

Her petite and adorable figure has garnered her many supporters in both Japan and Great Hua.

"Shu-chan, I'm so glad to finally see you!"

Hyakka Jiang, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "You're having so much fun—filming videos with the Ming Dynasty, making desserts with your classmates, and shopping with beautiful girls!"

"Jealous? How cute."

"Jealous my foot! Why am I so busy while you can leisurely enjoy life?"

Hyakka -chan rushed into Hanazawa Sakura's arms. "President, President, the voice acting industry is getting weirder and weirder!"

"Hyakka Jiang, you can do it, I believe in you."

Hanazawa Sakura patted her head and casually said some platitudes.

Haruno laughed and said, "Hyakka- chan, don't you find it strange that you're complaining and acting cute towards the person who made voice actors into idols?"

"That's true!"

Hyakka broke Hanazawa Sakura's embrace and puffed out her cheeks with a soft "mmmmmmm".

Maeda Saori laughed, "Haha, it seems Hyakka- chan has been attending too many training classes lately, but oh well, she has an event coming up soon."

"It's so strange that voice actor meet-and-greets involve live performances."

Hyakka sighed.

Shuya retorted, "Go tell that to your mom. If we're really going to talk about it, it was your mom who started this whole thing."

"How could I complain to my mom? Shu-chan, you're so clueless!"

"Grass (Chinese)."

Hyakka Jiang doesn't understand Chinese, but she can understand the tone of her voice.

She complained, "President! It sounds like Shu-chan is scolding me!"

"Shu-chan!"

Hanazawa Sakura smacked Shuya on the head and glared at him, saying, "You're a senior in high school and you're still so childish!"

"That's why I'm only a sophomore in high school!"

Shuya sprayed it.

"Hahaha, club president, give him a few more whacks!"

Haruno was quite gloating.

"Wow, it's really lively this early in the morning."

An ordinary-looking boy suddenly appeared.

Kyousuke scratched his head.

Kyousuke, you've arrived?

Shuya was overjoyed and quickly used this as an excuse to change the subject.

Am I not late?

"Without."

Shuya said something.

After chatting for a while, Uesugi Futaro arrived at the door.

Just as agreed, he came with his father.

After exchanging a few polite words, they started chatting.

Contrary to what Shuya had imagined, Uesugi's father was a very generous man, but his concern for his son was evident in his words.

Maeda Saori explained the contract and answered their questions in detail, and they successfully signed the contract, officially joining the company as Uesugi Futaro.

Then his father came and went like the wind, as if he was going to work.

Shuya knew about their family circumstances and expressed his understanding.

Hanazawa Sakura smiled and said, "The timing is perfect, let's go eat to welcome Fuutarou-kun."

"Thank you, President."

Uesugi bowed his head and thanked him.

"Oh, no need to be so polite."

Hanazawa Sakura waves.

"You'll get used to it once you're familiar with it. Let's go."

Shuya and said, "I reckon it'll be hard to find a table at a restaurant at this hour. I'll take you directly to one of my restaurants and ask if they have any recommendations."

After he finished speaking, he went to the Monster group on Line to ask his subordinates.

"... Subordinates?"

Uesugi Futaro murmured, not understanding what Shuya talking about.

"Uesugi, don't take this kind of thing too seriously, or your worldview will crumble."

Kyousuke smiled and gave him a thumbs up, but his smile was utterly unsettling.

"Yeah."

Uesugi asked, puzzled.

"Okay, I got a reply. How about we have some barbecue?"

Shuya asked.

Okay, no problem.

"OK."

"That's fine too."

The others replied.

After contacting his subordinates, Shuya sent the location to Maeda Saori.

The group went downstairs and got into the car, Maeda Saori drove off.

Shuya sat in the car with Uesugi and Kyousuke. Uesugi clearly didn't have much experience interacting with women, so introducing Kyousuke, who was a guy, to him would help him integrate into the agency more smoothly.

Uesugi and Kyousuke chatted for a while and became acquainted.

Hyakka - Haruno also chatted with Uesugi Futaro for a few minutes, thus becoming acquainted with him.

Haruno didn't do anything or say anything suggestive under Shuya's gaze.

The car arrived at the restaurant quickly.

This barbecue restaurant isn't large, and the decor is quite down-to-earth; it's a well-known chain restaurant.

These are properties owned by the Shuten Family.

A burly man who looked somewhat familiar to Shuya respectfully came forward and invited them into a private room.

Section 357, page 339: It's here! The spicy animation is finally here!

Everyone ate, drank, and chatted, enjoying their lunch to the fullest.

The person in charge of this shop serves all sorts of expensive ingredients for free, treating Shuya like royalty.

Uesugi could tell that these were high-quality ingredients.

He knew Shuya was rich, and thinking that this was probably the happiness of the wealthy, he ate everything that was offered to him without hesitation.

He didn't know if he would ever have another meal; he had to eat until he vomited.

After the meal, everyone felt closer and chatted for a while before parting ways.

They also talked about training. Hanazawa Sakura originally wanted him to start next week, but Uesugi said he wanted to start as soon as possible.

Hanazawa Sakura promised to expedite the arrangements.

Then Uesugi went back.

The next stop on the itinerary is an animation company.

Hanazawa Sakura said that Inoue Hikoo wanted to see her about something, specifically a new anime project.

Shuya didn't have high expectations for this; in recent years, every film that Inoue Hikoo made had flopped.

It's not fair to say his animations are entirely without merit. While they may not be well-received by the general public, their artistic merit has been recognized by many professionals, and they have won numerous awards.

It's just too artsy and pretentious, that's why it doesn't sell.

Whether or not it can be sold is not important to Inoue Hikoo.

He had money, so he let himself go.

It features all sorts of themes, including NTR, hentai, and black people, and also includes the daily deaths of mothers, fathers, girlfriends, friends, and the whole family.

This greatly pleased the judges of various awards.

The average viewer is very...

To put it nicely, it's highbrow and unpopular; to put it bluntly, it's utterly worthless garbage.

He doesn't only make films for artsy, intellectual types.

Occasionally, when he gets tired, he'll produce some more normal animations, but everyone is already afraid of him.
