Finally Remembered the Twitter Account
I suspect you're messing with me.
Shuya looked at Inoue Hikoo, but he just said impatiently, "Who has time to mess with you? I didn't choose anyone else because I picked people from your mother's agency."
We should keep the good stuff within the family and keep the salaries for our own people.
Inoue Hikoo didn't mean to trick him when he said that, but Shuya felt that Haruno and Hyakka's gazes were a bit irritating.
Mai and Yukino watched the show from the sidelines.
After a moment of silence, Haruno spoke up, "Let Hyakka -chan go instead; it'll be easier to invite Sonou- san as a guest then."
"That's right, then I'll leave the Hyakka Sauce to you."
Inoue Hikoo nodded in agreement, while Hyakka frowned and nodded in return. "Okay, but I can't guarantee Mom will be able to come."
"Alright, you silly child, who are you trying to impress with your arrogance?"
Inoue Hikoo waved his hand dismissively and retorted without holding back, leaving Hyakka speechless for a long time.
Once he had chosen his candidate, he left quickly without lingering.
"Ugh! What's going on?! I'm so annoyed!"
Hyakka, in a fit of impotence and rage, repeatedly pounded on the wall.
The others exchanged glances and immediately burst into cheerful laughter.
Haruno gave Shuya a knowing look amidst her laughter, signaling that Shuya should seize the opportunity.
She really went to great lengths to relieve stress.
After the laughter subsided, the group didn't disperse.
They studied with great interest the script that Maeda Saori had given to Shuya for reference.
These scripts are not detailed scripts for each episode, but rather plot outlines and character introductions.
"Hey, I think this is great! It's very unique."
Haruno's eyes lit up.
Shuya glanced at it and his face instantly darkened. "A transvestite role? I won't do it!"
"What about this one?"
Hyakka pointed to one of the books and said, "Modern campus romance, love story, male protagonist and female protagonist..."
"Turn down."
I haven't finished speaking.
"Needless to say, cross-dressing is out of the question."
Shuya's attitude was very firm.
"Don't be so resolute, Shushu-chan ~"
Hyakka persuaded her in a sweet, cloying voice.
Shuya waved his hand forcefully. "Get out of the way! No way! Impossible!"
"What about this one?"
Yukino also picked up a script.
She said, "A detective drama."
Let me see...
Shuya suddenly exclaimed, "Didn't he die right after his first appearance?!"
"Phew, don't you think this suits your laid-back, laid-back lifestyle perfectly?"
Yukino laughed triumphantly.
"How about this one?"
Mai pushed a script towards her, a suspicious blush on her face.
Shuya glanced at it and read aloud, "The protagonist owes a huge debt and, by chance, becomes the slave of the female lead (a rich heiress) to pay it off. It's a hilarious romantic comedy..."
He looked at Mai speechlessly.
Mai turned her face away, her cheeks slightly flushed, and peeked at him expectantly.
"Although you're very cute, I have no interest in playing this kind of role."
Shuya angrily retorted, "Can't you guys just pick a normal script? All you ever do is create drama!"
Is it really that rare for a book to sell for over a million yuan?
Chapter 500, page 465: Finally remembered my Twitter account.
The girls ignored Shuya's complaints and continued discussing the script.
Shuya realized they were just talking nonsense. Shuya acted or not was irrelevant; they just wanted to use this opportunity to mess with him.
He didn't take it to heart.
He casually asked, "Mai- chan, which script did you choose?"
"Me? I haven't decided yet."
Mai's answer surprised Shuya a bit, "I thought you'd immediately pick a script to act in."
"Still looking at it, such an important matter needs careful selection."
Mai said seriously, as if she had completely forgotten what she had just done.
"Then you choose. After you've picked, I'll see what you've chosen. If the script is good and there's a suitable role for me, I'll participate."
Shuya proposed a method that required no effort.
"Fine, I'm really fed up with your laziness."
Mai nodded in agreement.
They chatted for a while.
"Speaking of which, it seems our agency has been hiring since Ms. Mai came in?"
Suddenly, Hyakka spoke.
Haruno didn't seem to care much. "Of course, how could Miss Saori manage all that on her own?"
"Indeed, and it's impossible for Mai- chan to go to the filming alone."
Shuya felt that hiring was normal. "Speaking of which, I think Yui- chan would be quite suitable to be a manager."
His words above refer to the Yuigahama Hachika.
But she would also be very suitable to be a voice actress.
Perhaps if she becomes a voice actress and sings "Love Call" again, she'll become famous...
Shuya made a joke in his mind.
"Yuigahama- san? She might be a good fit."
Yukino nodded slightly, and Mai added, "That child might indeed be suitable, although she's a bit slow... I mean, naive, but with training, she can change."
"What? Who are you talking about?"
"A child I've never heard of."
Hyakka and Haruno didn't quite know who Yuigahama was.
Shuya was also a little confused about whether they had seen her before. "You haven't seen her?... Right, it seems like Ayase- chan and Kirino- chan just saw her."
Yes, Motoko has met him before...
Haruno tilted his head and asked, "Could it be your classmate?"
Hyakka said "Oh," and then added, "It must be a beautiful girl, no doubt about it."
Shuya: "Although she is a beautiful girl, your guess is illogical."
"No, that's very logical. Shu-chan, you probably don't want to bother with unattractive girls, so anyone you specifically mention must be a beauty."
Hyakka has always been very direct in her speech.
Haruno couldn't help but nod. "That makes perfect sense."
Mai said, "Miss Hyakka has always had a good understanding of Shuya."
By this time, it was almost time for everyone to finish their conversation.
Haruno and Hyakka stood up:
"I'm off to the next location; there's a live broadcast of the game tonight."
"I'm going to participate in the live broadcast of anime too."
After they finished speaking, the two were about to leave the company.
"Wait, wait, let's all take a group photo. I'll post it on Twitter to promote it later."
Shuya finally remembered that he had Twitter account and decided to make use of it.
He has a lot of fans, it would be a waste not to use them now.
"Alright."
"Then I'll take a picture too."
The two replied.
"Come here."
Shuya raised his phone towards himself, with Haruno and Hyakka flanking him on either side, the three of them almost touching.
Seeing this, Mai pulled Yukino to stand behind the three of them.
"How did you guys end up in the picture too?"
Mai said confidently, "I don't want to be ostracized."
Yukino, expressionless, found this incredibly boring.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Shuya took some photos.
After he finished taking the photos, Hyakka, Haruno, and Mai all took out their phones and kept taking pictures. In the end, they took a lot of photos.
Yukino was the only one who didn't take any photos, but she also received photos shared by everyone.
"Then I'm really leaving this time."
"Bye~"
Hyakka and Haruno left.
Shuya casually uploaded the first photo he had just taken to Twitter:
"Today I dubbed the first two episodes of my dad @ Inoue Hikoo's new anime, and also took some commemorative photos with friends... Um, there are a couple of bystanders in the photos, don't mind them."
He didn't pay attention after posting the Twitter and put his phone away.
Shuya looked at Mai and Yukino who had stayed behind, and thought for a moment before saying, "Mai- chan, didn't you say you were curious about the voice acting workplace? How about I show you around the company?"
"Won't this interfere with other people's work?"
"No, once they get into work mode, they're all the type who say, 'Get out of my way, you bitch, don't bother me!'"
"... Then please show me around."
Mai was in high spirits, Yukino was indifferent, and she didn't care if Haruno wasn't there.
"Let's go then."
