489 A First Experience

His attitude towards the Black Cat and Saori was quite good, or rather, indifferent.

"... Let's go somewhere else."

Shuya said to Kirino and the others.

"Um."

"OK."

"OK."

The three of them followed Shuya he walked away.

Shuya noticed that the Black Cat's expression was a little strange, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"

"No..." the Black Cat said, "I was just thinking... is this what Director Inoue feels like...? That's all."

Her tone was somewhat complicated.

"What, you want his autograph?"

Shuya asked.

"Oh, that's not necessary."

The Black Cat answered decisively, even with a hint of resentment.

She recalled the fear she felt as a child, dominated by the ending of Hikari-chan.

From that moment on, Inoue Hikoo became synonymous with the Great Demon King in her mind.

Shuya could roughly guess the reason from her expression, and Saori looked much the same way.

It seems that both of them are victims of Inoue Hikoo.

Anyway, let me show you around some more.

Shuya led them on a brief tour, and they soon returned to the lounge.

There's nothing particularly interesting about it; it's just an ordinary workplace.

The main things worth seeing in the company are the original drawings, design materials, and manuscripts from Inoue Hikoo's past works, Shuya didn't take Black Cat and the others to see those.

These are all important documents, so they can only see a few exhibits.

"Haruno, Hyakka- chan, we're back."

Shuya glanced around the room and suddenly felt a little strange... Why was Hyakka -chan sitting so far away, and looking at Haruno so warily?

Haruno then acted as if nothing had happened.

Shuya said to Haruno, "Don't bully her too much."

I didn't.

"You don't need to explain, I understand."

Shuya stopped her from making excuses.

"Oh! Shu-chan is so direct, it's embarrassing!"

Haruno cupped her cheeks, feigning shyness.

"Tsk."

Hyakka almost spat out the word, but stopped herself to maintain her composure.

"What did Senior Haruno do this time?"

Kirino spoke up.

Haruno smiled and said with a squinty expression, "No?"

Kirino: "..."

She looked away.

Kirino had been teased by Haruno before, and she knew Haruno's personality, so she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

Haruno then looked at Saori and Black Cat, and smiled, "These two are Kirino- chan's friends? They're quite cute."

"Cute? Well, let's put aside the black one for now, but that big guy is hardly cute."

Kirino was stunned.

Haruno replied ambiguously, "That's hard to say~"

With her sharp eyesight, it would be very easy for her to see what Saori looked like behind her thick glasses.

"Hahaha..."

Saori felt immense pressure from Haruno's gaze.

Shuya waved his hand to block her view. "Don't look at people like that, it's impolite."

"Okay, okay."

Haruno changed her target, grabbing Kirino and rubbing against her. "Then let Kirino- chan take her place and let me play with her, okay? Ah, although she's not as cute as Yukino- chan, Kirino- chan is cute too~ Look at that round face~"

She roughly and roughly hugged Kirino.

"Gua ah wuu wuu wuu!"

Kirino couldn't break free at all and couldn't even speak clearly.

Black Cat and Saori could only tremble in fear under Haruno's aura.

Shuya rolled his eyes and said to the two of them, "Please make yourselves at home. I'll let you into the control room to watch when the recording starts at ten o'clock."

"... Thanks."

"Thank you for your help."

Saori and the Black Cat obediently sat down to one side.

Kirino cried out for help, but they ignored her and dared not try to take her away from Haruno.

Haruno carried Kirino back to her seat and played with her.

Shuya sat down next to Hyakka, leaving enough space for Haruno.

For him, it was advantageous for Haruno to shift the target of his pranks.

He was happy to have some peace and quiet.

---Whether Kirino is willing or not is none of his business.

Speaking of which, he remembered very clearly the time Kirino caused him to get a lecture from his Little Senior Sister.

Whether or not he seeks revenge is not important; the main thing is that he enjoys reading about yuri (lesbian) relationships.

Shuya sneered. Hyakka glanced at him and moved to the side.

She knew perfectly well that this guy was pretty much the same kind of person as Haruno; maybe he was a little better, but he could still be deadly when it came to scheming.

Hyakka wisely saw through it but didn't say anything, only casting a "good luck to you" look at Kirino.

She struck up a conversation with Saori and Black Cat: "What are your names?"

"Black, Black Cat."

"This humble one is Saori!"

"What? Your nerdy tone is disgusting."

"Hyakka blurted out."

Shuya coughed awkwardly.

However, Saori didn't care about Hyakka's attitude. To be honest, her words were not as sharp as Black Cat's and Kirino's when they first met her.

"And Black Cat stuff... is that a screen name?"

"Yes."

"Oh..."

Hyakka scratched her head. "No wonder she's Shu-chan's friend, she's quite strange."

"..."

The Black Cat remained silent.

But Shuya felt that if Hyakka said a few more words, she would explode.

At this moment, Hyakka added, "You people are strange, but your voices are quite nice. The club president should like them very much."

After hearing what she said, Shuya also thought it might be true.

The thought of Hanazawa Sakura possibly coming to pester him relentlessly gave him a headache.

P. S.: I'm stuck on this, and I don't even know if I'll be able to finish it by tomorrow.

PS2: After changing the book title, clicks and favorites skyrocketed. (This is hilarious!)

Section 528, 489: First Experience

Shuya was indeed a little worried about his mother's reaction.

However... he couldn't stop Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo, these spendthrift parents, from their daily rampages.

Even if he were strong enough to easily defeat them, he wouldn't be so reckless as to use his abilities against his parents.

He could argue with Inoue Hikoo, but he was completely powerless against Hanazawa Sakura.

It's so annoying, sob sob sob.

Shuya sighed, knowing he could only be more careful later.

Black Cat and Saori were puzzled by his and Hyakka's reactions, but Shuya didn't explain to them.

Shuya didn't mention it again, and they forgot about it after a while.

"By the way Shu-chan, I recently recorded a new song, do you want to listen to it?"

Hyakka leaned closer as she spoke, looking up and saying in a half-showy tone.

"Good."

Shuya naturally agreed.

Hyakka then plugged the earphones into her phone and handed one end to Shuya.

They each put on one earphone and listened to her new song.

After listening to the song, Shuya shared his thoughts amidst Hyakka's anticipation. He knew what Hyakka wanted to hear, so he skillfully patted her, fed her, and lifted her high, making her very happy.

Shuya made good use of the flattery skills he had honed from appearing on TV shows before.

While they were chatting, nothing unusual happened to the others. Haruno was still teasing Kirino, while Black Cat and Saori were playing on their phones.

As time passed, more and more people arrived.

The lounge started to get lively.

The first to arrive was Gojo, accompanied by three voice actors who had played minor roles.

"Good morning!"

Karasuma Chitose and the other two greeted them in a very spirited manner.

"Morning."

The Shuya seemed rather casual.

When Haruno saw that someone had arrived, he finally let go of Kirino.

Kirino slumped onto the sofa, her gaze vacant, unable to utter a word.

Seeing Kirino and the other two, Gojo asked curiously, "Hmm? Is there a new voice actor here today?"

"Friend, you've come for a visit."
