Gojo to be deep in thought, but then realized he had been thinking too soon.

"Ah, I remember now."

Hyakka suddenly spoke up.

"What?"

"That girl, she voiced the same character as me in the same animation, right? Lulu's."

LULU is short for Solution×Revolution, and the original work is a light novel.

That was an anime from last October, and it had just finished airing not long ago, so Hyakka- chan has a somewhat hazy memory of it. If it gets any later, she'll probably forget it completely.

Gojo smiled wryly, "Miss Sonou... so you're only just remembering now...?"

"Haha, sorry, sorry! She was sitting in the corner and was too inconspicuous!"

Hyakka let out a crisp laugh and complained.

Gojo said helplessly, "LULU has a fan meeting tomorrow, right? My sister will also be there. Please take good care of her then."

Hyakka replied politely, seemingly uninterested, "Oh--I see, I understand."

Shuya chuckled, "You really don't care about other people."

Hyakka -chan didn't seem to care. "Haha, I'm not Shu-chan, why would I pay attention to other girls every day? Besides, in the recording studio, everyone's basically on their phones, not really chatting."

"That's so true. It's really impressive that you said we had a good relationship on the radio."

Shuya complained.

Haruno interjected, "Because the audience loves hearing this. If they knew the female voice actresses had a good relationship, the merchandise would sell even better!"

"Tsk, is Yuri (lesbian romance) in business...?"

Shuya recalled the moves he had used in his previous life.

Ah, the Hana Kana.

Hyakka noticed something else and said, "So Shu-chan listened to that radio broadcast?"

"I guess so, I listen to it occasionally."

"No, don't listen to that, it's just a script, there's nothing good about it."

She seemed a little shy.

Hyakka and another female host are engaging in some lesbian-themed promotion, but not heavily.

At most, they'll chat casually, saying they'll have friendly conversations in the recording studio, go out to eat, go shopping, and so on.

There are also promises to go to certain places for fun, but these are usually forgotten as soon as they're made.

This will make the lily pig very happy, and the publicity effect will be excellent.

Section 361, Chapter 343: Your sister is pretty good.

Shuya replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, your broadcast is over. By the way, where's your meet-and-greet tomorrow? I'll go check it out and hear you sing."

Hyakka Jiang said, "... That's no problem, but it's not very interesting."

Haruno laughed and said, "How could it be boring? Hyakka- chan is our company's debut singer and a famous idol voice actress."

"Waaah, Haruno, stop being so sarcastic."

Hyakka Sauce shook.

After all these years together, she still doesn't know Haruno's personality.

"You two have such a good relationship."

Gojo sighed.

This kind of relationship is rather rare.

Perhaps this is the unique atmosphere of a small firm.

The agency that Gojo belongs to is different.

As his manager, he naturally knows who the company members are. Voice actors may not know each other, at most they might have good relationships with their contemporaries.

Whether you can get to know your seniors or juniors depends on fate.

Gojo is very familiar with Hanazawa Agency and can name all the voice actors under their agency.

This firm is very famous; it has few people, but the quality is incredibly high.

Even his mediocre firm has more people than this.

Gojo asked curiously, "Shuya, why are you here today?"

Without a doubt, he was taking the opportunity to extract information.

Shuya replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing really. My dad's starting a new project, and he just wanted to discuss it with us."

"Director Inoue's new work?"

Gojo opened his eyes wide.

This time we've gotten some really important information.

Even if Inoue Hikoo's works are criticized, there are still quite a few viewers. Besides, a bad work has nothing to do with the voice actor.

The industry has mixed feelings about Inoue Hikoo; who knows if his work might suddenly become a huge hit?

If we could ride the wave of popularity from works like Hikari-chan and Sakura, that would be amazing.

Gojo thinks that their own voice actor could try to get a role.

Could you please specify what kind of anime it is? Is it a light novel adaptation?

If he can find out, he plans to give the voice actors in his agency special training, and if there is an original work, he will have them read it thoroughly.

"In what area... original works, harem, I guess."

Shuya's expression was complicated. It wasn't that he couldn't speak; he still believed in Gojo's character.

But he truly couldn't bring himself to speak about the contents of this Wall of Masterpieces.

That's so cliché.

"Sorry, I asked too much."

Gojo misunderstood him, which put Shuya in a difficult position.

"That's not it, it's just that things are a bit... complicated."

Shuya gave up on explaining and laughed, "Well, the new work will probably need a lot of female voice actors, you guys can give it a try."

"I think your sister is pretty good. Let her audition. If she's good, we'll give her a named role; if not, she can at least have a minor role."

"Thank you so much... But you said she's pretty good? What's so good about her?"

Gojo was dumbfounded.

"Gojo, you're surprisingly ruthless towards your sister."

Shuya laughed and said, "As for what's good about her... it's definitely her face. One very important requirement for voice actors in this anime is that they have to be good-looking, and your sister is perfect for it."

He sighed, "The standards for voice actors will only get higher and higher in the future. It's really tough."

Haruno glanced sideways. "What you're saying sounds fake. You and the club president are the culprits, aren't you?"

"Haruno so good at complaining!"

The Hyakka are in high esteem.

"Hyakka Jiang, you and your mother aren't getting away either."

Haruno hugged Hyakka in her arms and chuckled.

The Hyakka fought back fiercely.

Shuya felt that this was not really his business. The industry in his previous life had already proven that the voice acting industry would eventually veer towards idolization.

Having chatted with Gojo for so long, Shuya had had his fill and there was no need to actually meet his sister.

He left with Hyakka -chan and Haruno.

Gojo waited for a while, and during a break from recording, he called Chitose out and told her the news.

Chitose stared at him in disbelief. "You actually know such an important person?!"

In an instant, she swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye:

"With connections like that, I'm guaranteed to win! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

"I'm talking to you..."

Gojo let out a groan of unbearable pain.

On the other side.

Hyakka chatted with Shuya for a while before leaving, seemingly to discuss some preparations for tomorrow's event.

Haruno asked, "What's next, Shu-chan?"

"I'm quitting. I have to go work out with Ayase- chan this afternoon."

"Ayase- chan... you really like that child."

"Well enough."

Shuya shrugged.

He stayed with Haruno for a while longer, then went home after agreeing to meet again that evening.

Ayase is already here.

After training with her for two or three hours, Shuya disbanded. She went straight home, while Shuya ran back to Haruno's house to go on a date with her. They ate and then went back to their room for a run.

One night passed.

Haruno had work on Sunday, so he got up early.

After the two finished breakfast, she went out first.

Shuya watched Haruno leave, then listlessly stroked the timid Little Fox, wondering what to do today.

He originally planned to visit Mai- chan during his vacation, but now he's unhappy and throwing a tantrum, not wanting to go.

Haruno has to work today, Ayase needs to rest after training yesterday.

It seems Kirino and the others are filming today and don't have time.

Hyakka Jiang went to the venue for rehearsals early and won't be coming over.

Shuya thought for a moment, then sent LINE messages to Uesugi and Kyousuke, asking if they were free.

If you have time, bring Uesugi to the company to familiarize him with animation production and get him some recognition.

He didn't approach Uesugi Futaro alone because he didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

I quickly received a message saying I was free; it's true that not having a girlfriend means having a lot of free time.

Shuya guessed that Uesugi was probably studying, but he probably wouldn't have any problem getting his grades even if he skipped a day of review.

At 10:00 AM, the three of them successfully met at the company entrance.

Shuya led them into the company.

"Shu-chan came over again today?"

The receptionist greeted us with a friendly smile.

Shuya and she are very familiar with each other; they've known each other since she was a young lady.

"Yes, let's bring the firm's newcomers to show them around the company."

He pointed to Uesugi and said, "This is Uesugi Futaro, he's still a second-year high school student."
