490 Hanazawa Sakura's Invitation

Shuya replied with a comment, and then continued chatting with Hyakka about her new song.

Chitose looked back and forth at the almost touching distance between Shuya and Hyakka, her gaze lingering on their shared earphones.

She chuckled and asked Gojo, "Gojo -jun, Gojo -jun! Are they dating?"

"I don't know, and you shouldn't ask."

Gojo warned in a low voice.

He didn't want his younger sister to cause any trouble.

Even though they were speaking very softly, Shuya could still hear the siblings' whispers.

He took off the headphones and returned them to Hyakka.

Hyakka asked in confusion, "Why aren't you listening?"

Send it to my phone, I'll listen to it when I get back.

Shuya didn't explain either.

"Alright."

Hyakka didn't think too much about it and sent the song directly to them.

Although the new song hasn't been released yet, she shouldn't be sending it to anyone else.

But Shuya an outsider, so she felt it didn't matter if she sent it to him.

After sending the song, Hyakka said nonchalantly, "You're overthinking it. This level of activity won't cause any misunderstandings."

"It's just a matter of being careful; if word gets out, it'll cause trouble."

Shuya knew she had figured it out, so he replied.

"Whatever you want."

Hyakka pouted.

Shuya didn't say anything more.

When Gojo saw him take off his headphones, he knew that he must have heard his and his sister's conversation.

He bowed his head to Shuya waved his hand to indicate that he was alright.

"... Stop talking."

Gojo turned around and delivered a chop to Chitose's forehead.

"Ouch! This is domestic violence! Domestic violence! No way, absolutely not!"

Chitose uttered a phrase similar to the title of a famous song by a certain metal band.

As they talked, they shrank to a corner of the lounge, revealing their humble status.

Then, as time went on, other female voice actresses arrived, including Shibasaki Kazuha.

The voice actors are mostly present, except for Hanazawa Sakura.

However, Shuya could tell from a moment's thought that she was probably with Inoue Hikoo right now.

Around 9:30, Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo arrived together as expected.

The scholar-officials followed behind.

Good morning, Shu-chan!

Hanazawa Sakura gently raised her hand, a friendly smile spreading across her beautiful face.

"Morning."

Shuya nodded slightly, and was about to say a few more words to his mother when he saw that she had already turned to chat with Inoue Hikoo, laughing non-stop.

Shuya: "..."

He gave up.

Hanazawa Sakura didn't even notice Kirino.

Shuya didn't really care about her attitude, and he was happy to have an easy time.

The scholars prepared for their recording sessions, Inoue Hikoo and Hanazawa Sakura chatted until the very last moment before parting ways when the time was up.

"Alright, it's about time to start. Sakura-chan, you can go into the recording studio now."

Inoue Hikoo gently addressed Hanazawa Sakura, then casually beckoned to Shuya, "You have friends visiting, right? Let them in."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Hanazawa Sakura looked towards Shuya and then noticed Kirino: "Hey, isn't this Kirino- chan? What are you doing here? Is that your friend next to you? She's quite cute."

She smiled.

"Hello, President. We're here for a visit."

Kirino, of course, puts on a good act in front of Hanazawa Sakura.

"Hello, Ms. Hanazawa!"

"Hello, Ms. Hanazawa."

The Black Cat was extremely nervous, while Saori's tone returned to normal, no longer seeming surprised.

"Mmm?!"

Hanazawa Sakura's eyes lit up. "You guys!"

"Mom, let's record this first, we'll talk about it later."

Shuya thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

As characters from the anime "Frozen Eel," Black Cat and Saori undoubtedly possess unique voices, making it only natural that Hanazawa Sakura would choose them.

However, it would be a waste of time to talk about these things now, so Shuya stopped him.

"All right."

Hanazawa Sakura could only watch with slight regret as Kirino and the others entered the control room.

But soon, she smiled kindly at Shuya: "Shu-chan, that little black-haired girl is very cute. She and you..."

Shuya answered her recurring question expressionlessly, "We don't have a special relationship, just friends."

"Friend... I understand."

Hanazawa Sakura gave an understanding smile, though it was unclear what she understood.

She and Shuya entered the recording studio last and sat leisurely in the middle.

First, let's start with a sound check.

The screen in the recording studio lit up, and the visuals used for dubbing were still beautifully colored paintings.

The audition followed the same procedure as last time, and everyone successfully completed the dubbing for the third episode.

After the sound check, it was Inoue Hikoo and Tanaka's turn to give instructions.

Having learned from his previous experience, Inoue Hikoo spent less time offering his suggestions than before.

Everyone here is a top or mid-level voice actor in the industry, and this anime is already on its third episode, so of course they've all grasped the characteristics of the characters.

As for minor roles like the character Chitose, the acting requirements are not high, and they don't need much guidance.

The recording has officially begun.

Kirino and the others noticed that the atmosphere on set immediately became serious, and everyone got into work mode.

The voice actors showcased their well-honed acting skills and skillfully and quietly switched microphones according to their roles in the scene, everything proceeded smoothly and systematically.

Their acting captivated them, as if transporting them into the world of animation.

For Kirino and the others, all of this was new and interesting.

I feel like not many people understand this joke, so I'll explain it anyway...

Chapter 529, Page 490 Hanazawa Sakura's Invitation

Shuya is currently voicing the third episode of IS.

In this episode, IS's action-packed nature is perfectly showcased.

The United Kingdom girl who was so arrogant in the last episode is now throwing herself at you at lightning speed in this one, practically giving herself away for free. It's almost as if she's been drugged and turned into an omega.

What is a "Dragon Overlord" action movie? (Tactical lean back)

That's it.

Aside from the United Kingdom girl's romantic involvement, this episode mainly features China girls.

This girl's favorability rating was maxed out the moment she appeared, saving everyone the trouble of figuring out how to win her over.

What is a mindless, action-packed movie? (Leans back again)

After a series of jealous interactions between the female characters, the ending briefly mentioned the upcoming class competition.

The third episode is finished.

Shuya know what the other voice actors thought, but he found the role exceptionally easy to play.

The character of Ichika is far too easy to portray.

However, the fact that other actors had very few takes suggests that this film doesn't require particularly strong acting skills.

In short, we finished the dubbing ahead of schedule this morning, which allowed us to have lunch earlier.

Everyone went to the dining hall, where luxurious bento boxes were already prepared for them to choose from.

Kirino and the others also managed to get a free lunch.

The crowd surged into the dining hall, and Shuya, Haruno, Hyakka, Kirino sat together, forming a small circle.

They took their lunchboxes and started eating.

Shuya a little surprised. He thought Hanazawa Sakura would come over immediately, but she was just enjoying the bento she had made with Inoue Hikoo and didn't seem to be coming over.

It seems they plan to discuss this after dinner.

... etc.

Shuya discovered a key point.

He wasn't included in Hanazawa Sakura's handmade bento this time either!

He thought that since he had expressed his dissatisfaction last Saturday, Hanazawa Sakura would prepare his portion today... but it turned out he was overthinking it.

As expected of my mother.

Shuya opened his bento box with a sigh, but even though the dishes were fancy, it didn't taste good.

"Senior, senior, you did a wonderful job just now!"

Kirino excitedly approached.

The Black Cat nodded, "As expected of a senior."

Saori exclaimed, "Oh my, oh my, the wonderful performances of all the seniors just now truly moved me!"

She couldn't help but unleash her strange verbal tic.

Haruno and Hyakka were used to people with strange personalities, so they didn't take it to heart.

Or perhaps it's none of their business, and they simply can't be bothered to care.

"A brilliant performance..."

Shuya repeated himself, feeling that the statement was a bit of an exaggeration, and that the others had only performed normally, nothing particularly outstanding.

But denying it seemed like he would offend people, so he remained silent.
