Seventy Million
The company temporarily set aside an afternoon to help him record.
Shuya arrived at the company quickly and went straight to the recording studio.
"Oh my, our Ming Dynasty has finally arrived? It's such an honor for a small company like ours to have you do voice-over work."
Inoue Hikoo continued his sarcastic remarks.
Seeing Shuya replied, "If you have any questions, please contact my agency. Would you like me to call the president for you?"
"Bullshit, wouldn't I be asking for trouble if I called?"
Inoue Hikoo rolled his eyes.
Shuya afraid of Hanazawa Sakura's whimpering; he was afraid of her too.
"Get inside."
Inoue Hikoo pointed to the recording studio.
What about the final script?
Shuya has only seen the script for the next two episodes; he hasn't seen the rest yet.
"Why don't you record two episodes first? It's not finished yet."
Inoue Hikoo replied.
"Alright."
So Shuya spent an hour recording two episodes, and there were only a few episodes left to record.
Inoue Hikoo and the others went back to work. Shuya also wanted to run away, but suddenly remembered that today was a weekday and his Little Senior Sister should be in the studio.
He decided to take action and went to his Little Senior Sister's private studio.
He knocked on the door. "Little Senior Sister! Is Little Senior Sister home?"
There was no response from behind the door.
However, Shuya clearly sensed that there was someone inside, and that it was his Little Senior Sister's aura.
He wasn't surprised. When his Little Senior Sister was engrossed in her work, she was generally slow to react to external stimuli.
He pushed the door open and went in, and sure enough, he saw his Little Senior Sister's back.
She sat leisurely at the workbench, writing and drawing on the sheet music, completely unaware that Shuya come in.
Shuya didn't make a sound to disturb her; he simply sat on the sofa and admired her working.
He felt very comfortable just enjoying the relaxed atmosphere emanating from his Little Senior Sister.
Although Ayase and the others are still practicing, there's no rush, Shuya is not under any pressure staying here.
After sitting there for about ten minutes, the Little Senior Sister remained motionless, diligently pondering the song.
Shuya got bored sitting there, so he lay down.
Perhaps his movements were a bit too forceful, because the Little Senior Sister subconsciously glanced in their direction.
"!"
She flinched in fright when she saw Shuya.
"Huh? When did Shuya- kun come in?"
"Just."
"... Are you out of school?"
The Little Senior Sister glanced at the time and suddenly realized.
"Yes."
It is indeed school dismissal time now, but Shuya has gone to school is another matter.
He probably would get scolded if he said he didn't go to school, so he didn't mention it.
He said, "I'll just lie here for a while, Little Senior Sister, don't worry about me."
"All right."
The Little Senior Sister nodded and turned back to continue her hard work.
Shuya lay on the sofa playing on his phone, wanting to enjoy the atmosphere.
After composing for a while, the Little Senior Sister couldn't help but ask, "Shuya- kun, would you like some tea?"
"No need."
A minute later, she asked again, "Would you like some snacks?"
"Really, you don't need to."
A few minutes later:
Is the sofa comfortable?
Is the air conditioning temperature high enough?
Do you need a pillow?
"It's fine, enough, no need."
Shuya scratched his head. His Little Senior Sister's excessive concern for him was actually bad; it prevented him from calming down, and it also prevented Little Senior Sister from focusing on her creative work.
"Little Senior Sister, why don't you play some music?"
"OK."
The Little Senior Sister played the piano with satisfaction.
After she played several pieces, Shuya left the studio to go see Ayase and the others.
"Shuya- kun, come visit again next time!"
"OK."
Shuya agreed verbally, but he didn't intend to come here often.
He felt he had disturbed her and was quite embarrassed.
After leaving his Little Senior Sister's place, it was already six o'clock, and he returned to the Unfinished Building.
Motoko was instructing Ayase swordsmanship, while Kirino was running around nearby.
Are you all alright?
Shuya waved to him from afar.
"Well enough."
"It's alright..."
Their answers were somewhat listless; after cultivating for so long, it was impossible for them to still be energetic.
Seeing this Shuya said, "Let's rest for a while and eat first."
"Oh."
"Hahaha..."
They replied simply.
We'll have dinner here.
His men were prepared, Shuya say that, they immediately served dinner.
Shuya and Motoko ate ordinary food, while Kirino and Ayase ate a special feast that replenished their bodies' energy and provided the energy needed for their training.
Cultivation is so tiring.
Kirino ate quickly while talking; she had never been this tired in her entire memory.
Ayase ate quickly as well. "Normal training isn't this tiring."
Motoko muttered to herself, "This training intensity isn't really that bad..."
"Don't say anything more, your situation is different."
Shuya smiled.
Then he said to the two of them, "You don't need to start cultivating right away after you finish eating. Rest for a while, otherwise you won't be able to concentrate when your teacher teaches you tonight."
The two nodded.
"Kirino, I think you're almost able to master ki, aren't you?"
Shuya looked at Kirino's hand holding the chopsticks. She used them skillfully, and there was no sign that she was trying very hard to control them.
"I think I'll be able to fully control it after practicing for a while longer!"
Kirino was tired, but answered happily.
This was the result of her hard work, Shuya nodded slightly, quite satisfied with her.
Based on her performance on the first day, Kirino did not disappoint him.
As for Ayase... her progress isn't as obvious as Kirino's, but Shuya knows her character and thinks she won't slack off, so her progress should be pretty good.
I hope they can persevere.

After dinner, Shuya told Kirino and the others to go to his hometown to rest for a while before returning here to continue training.
They took a bath and rested before practicing, Guoguo much better than if they didn't rest.
It's still very important to balance work and rest.
Then, in the time before Li Shuhong arrived, Shuya trained Kirino for a while, enabling her to successfully control her qi.
He felt that he had done everything he needed to do by reaching this level.
From now on, it really depends on their efforts.
That's all I can do for you. From now on, you're on your own.
Shuya said, "I'll be quite busy for the next few days, so I probably won't be able to come much. But Motoko will keep an eye on you all for me. You can contact me if you need anything. That's all."
After he finished speaking, he waved goodbye to them.
He felt it was unnecessary to spend all his time here.
He had said everything he needed to say, and he stopped bothering them.
... Just like the old saying goes: children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
He went back to play video games. Motoko could have gone back and come back tomorrow, but she decided to stay and keep an eye on things.
She couldn't let go like Shuya did.
The night passed uneventfully.
Shuya got up very early the next day because he had work to do.
Today is Wednesday, and he's heading off to work with the idol production team.
That day was for reading the script and reciting lines from the first episode.
However, he didn't have many lines in the first episode.
But since I have a role to play, I have to be there, and having an excuse not to go to school is quite fun.
School didn't start until the afternoon, but reciting lines only took a morning, leaving most of the time for slacking off—it was quite a happy time.
Shuya didn't make plans to go with Mai today, so he went to Aoki Shin's company by himself.
Upon arriving at the company, Shidaifu Yinxiu Shuya came to the practice room. The main actors Amami Seiji and Matsumoto Tomoka, were already there and were sitting on either side of the long table.
They were the first to arrive.
