"That's true."

Shuya asked in surprise, "Why are she and Yukino here?"

Who knows?

"It's none of my business anyway."

Hyakka and Haruno answered one after the other.

In fact, their arrival had nothing to do with anyone else.

Mai and Yukino walked straight over after seeing Shuya.

Hanazawa Sakura cast a meaningful glance at him.

Mai and Yukino naturally noticed the commotion around them. They ignored the strangers, simply nodded to Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo, and then sat down at Shuya's table.

Shuya asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yukino said calmly, "I was just accompanying Mai in her training today. But she suddenly said she wanted to come and see."

Mai smiled:

"I heard that you've been doing voice acting for a long time Shuya. I think it wouldn't be right for me, as a member of Hanazawa Agency, not to have been to a voice acting studio before?"

"However, I don't think so, and I've never seen a dubbing session."

Yukino seemed reluctant to come here.

... or rather, she didn't really want to see Haruno.

Mai said, "But I'm very curious."

Yukino looked back and forth between Mai and Shuya, and sighed softly, "You two really are childhood friends."

Hyakka protested, "Wait, doesn't this involve me too?"

"Yukino- chan, you've fallen into the same trap yourself."

Haruno he made a sarcastic remark.

Shuya raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what do you mean by that?"

Yukino pressed her hand on the table, glanced around at everyone, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting anyone in particular. I'm just saying that everyone here is a bit of a hassle."

"..."

Shuya and the others were speechless after being rebuked by her.

Yukino added, "Especially my older sister."

Shuya: "I agree with that."

Hyakka: "+1"

Mai: "Well, shall I second that?"

Haruno pouted cutely, "Ugh, I'm so kind and gentle."

"Is my sister kind and gentle?"

Yukino burst out laughing, a laugh she had never had before.

"Wow! Yukino- chan is so cute!"

Haruno's expression changed instantly; she rushed over and hugged her younger sister tightly.

Yukino's smile gradually faded.

Mai glanced sideways. "Yukino, you never learn your lesson."

Yukino always repeats the same process when facing Haruno.

Shuya and the others had seen too much, so they decided to ignore them.

Shuya said, "There's nothing interesting about voice acting anyway. You'd be better off spending that time on work."

"It's in progress," Mai said casually. "We've already filmed two commercials; you'll see them on TV in a couple of days."

Hyakka said, "Miss Mai is indeed different from that lazybones."

"What are you saying?"

Shuya waved his hand. "Besides, was I being lazy? I was just giving the opportunity to others! What a noble spirit that is!"

"Hehe."

"Call."

Hyakka and Mai laughed.

Section 499, Chapter 464: All you do all day is create trouble!

"Okay, I wasn't kidding anymore."

Mai said.

Shuya was a little puzzled. "I wasn't joking, was I?"

Mai ignored him and said, "Recently, quite a few production teams have contacted our agency wanting us to participate. What do you think?"

"... Huh? You mean 'we'? Including me?"

Shuya was astonished. "How could this concern me? I haven't made a comeback."

"You mentioning this really perks me up."

Maeda Saori appeared, standing to the side and laughing, "In their view, Mai- chan has already made a comeback, so Shu-chan should be about the same. That's why they sent an invitation first."

These two issues are completely different.

Shuya helpless.

Hyakka lazily scoffed, "Aren't they all pretty much the same? You guys took breaks one after the other back then, and it might be the same this time too."

"That's just something I've always wanted to do, and I just took advantage of the situation."

So everyone thinks you'll do it this time too.

"I didn't mean to."

Shuya felt that it was better to be a couch potato.

"You may not think that way, but that's what they think."

Maeda Saori- michi.

Shuya scoffed, "Pah, just trying to get more popularity from me again."

"Isn't this normal?"

Mai replied.

It's simply a win-win situation; we just need to be wary of scripts that are purely designed to capitalize on popularity.

She pressed on, "You still haven't answered my question."

"Emmmmm."

Seeing Mai's expectant gaze, Shuya finally said, "I need to read the script first; I'll only participate if it's interesting."

So you're making a comeback?

Hyakka asked, somewhat looking forward to seeing Shuya extremely busy again.

"I don't think so... a semi-comeback?"

Don't ask me.

Hyakka waved her hand.

Mai was satisfied with Shuya's answer, and she generously gave him a beautiful smile.

"Then you can take these scripts Shu-chan."

Maeda Saori pulled out a bunch of notebooks from somewhere.

"?"

Shuya was utterly bewildered, looking at Maeda Saori and Mai in front of him... "You two aren't working together to implicate me, are you?"

"Huh, Shu-chan agreed to take the role? Mai- chan's word really carries weight!"

Hanazawa Sakura walked over and stood behind Shuya, placing her hands on his shoulders.

She smiled happily.

But as soon as she said this, Haruno, who was teasing her younger sister, curled her lips into a smile.

The Hyakka seemed to be smiling, yet not smiling.

Yukino glanced at Shuya sideways.

Mai's smile held a deeper meaning as she observed the three people's reactions.

Shuya glanced back at his spendthrift mother, wondering if she was doing it on purpose.

But seeing Hanazawa Sakura's silly smile, he figured she was probably just being naturally ditzy.

A moment later, Inoue Hikoo came over to claim Hanazawa Sakura and stopped her from bothering Shuya.

Inoue Hikoo gave Shuya a look, letting him figure it out himself.

Shuya ignored him as always.

He looked at Mai and Yukino, breaking the silence. "Have you eaten? If not, there are some bento boxes here."

We've already eaten at the restaurant.

Mai answered.

At this moment, Haruno poked her younger sister's soft cheek and said, "You two are really close. Do you go out to play often?"

"This has nothing to do with my sister."

"I care about you, Yukino- chan."

Haruno pretended to be sad, but only received a glare from Yukino in return.

Our break is almost over.

Everyone began their work.

Inoue Hikoo and the others went to prepare first, and after that, everyone returned to the recording studio, while Mai and Yukino were arranged to watch the dubbing process from the control room.

The dubbing for episode 2 of IS went smoothly. After dubbing the first episode, everyone successfully grasped the characteristics of the characters.

This episode mainly focuses on the battle between the male protagonist and the United Kingdom female protagonist.

Shuya and the others completed their dubbing smoothly and finished today's recording.

"Thank you for your hard work, that's all for today."

Inoue Hikoo said one thing and then called it a day early.

The voice actresses said goodbye to each other and left the recording studio. They might use this free time to go shopping or take a break; in any case, they needed to kill time before the next filming location.

Voice actors don't really have weekdays or holidays, especially the core voice actors, who are incredibly busy.

... except for three minor characters.

Gojo and the others left, not to go to the next film set, but because their work for the day was finished and they were all going home.

Although Haruno and Hyakka had work afterwards, they still had time to chat.

Hanazawa Sakura has already left; she's too busy.

The scholar-officials also gradually returned to work.

But before leaving Inoue Hikoo came over and said, "Hey, son."

"What's wrong?"

"I have a question for you. Do you want to host the IS broadcast with Haruno- chan or Hyakka -chan?"
