Yukino took a sip of tea but didn't reply; she had no interest in answering her question.

She simply turned around and said, "Yuigahama, if you'd like to go for a visit tomorrow, I can take you there."

"Hehehe, should I go or not...?"

You can take your time to think about it.

"Thank you! Xiaoxue is so kind!"

Yuigahama hugged her without ceremony, Yukino squirmed uncomfortably.

Then she inadvertently noticed Mai's gaze directed at her.

"No, that's not how it is."

She instinctively opened her mouth, trying to explain something.

"Huh? What do you mean by 'this' and 'that'?"

Mai was taken aback. She had only glanced at them; had she done anything wrong?

"Hehe, I'm used to this reaction. Even though I know there's nothing wrong, I still feel guilty and want to explain myself."

Shuya smiled and glanced at Yukino, thinking, "I didn't realize you were such a scumbag."

Yukino frowned. "... Putting aside whether I feel guilty or not, just being compared to you makes me very unhappy."

Yuigahama hurriedly said, "Wait, don't fight over me!"

Yukino completely confused; nobody was arguing for you.

Mai smiled and said, "Yui- chan, don't worry, we didn't quarrel."

She then realized what she had just realized and couldn't help but look at Yukino with amusement.

Saori gave a mysterious smile, "You all seem to get along very well."

The Black Cat silently observed Shuya and the others, and nodded in agreement.

She was actually quite envious, but it was just a thought; she wouldn't take any action.

"By the way, Black Cat -chan, can we exchange LINE accounts?"

Yuigahama released Yukino, turned around and leaned close to the Black Cat, asking him affectionately.

"Ha... that's certainly possible."

The Black Cat nodded.

"Great! As trainees at Hanazawa Agency, let's get along well!"

As she spoke, she affectionately took the Black Cat's hand.

"Oh... I might not join either..."

The Black Cat awkwardly shook its hands, but couldn't shake off Yuigahama's enthusiastic hands at all.

"It's okay. Even if Black Cat- chan doesn't join, we're already friends, right? We can keep in touch."

Yuigahama's smile was genuine.

"Friend?"

The Black Cat was stunned.

This... what incredible power of "normie" is this?!

Yuigahama's popularity might even surpass Kirino's... This has shocked Black Cat for a whole year.

While they were chatting, Hyakka asked from the other side, "Haruno, are you free tomorrow night?"

Haruno said casually, "Whether I'm free or not depends on what you need. You can tell me first."

"Are you going to be a guest on IS Radio's live broadcast tomorrow?"

"A guest? That's really unexpected."

Haruno found her suggestion strange.

Shuya understood Hyakka's meaning. "Hmm... indeed. It's a bit awkward if it's just the two of us."

"Oh, is that so?"

Haruno realized what was happening.

Hyakka sighed, "If it's just me and Shu-chan, I wonder how they'll tease us."

Haruno chuckled and glanced at the two of them, then readily said, "What a pity! I'm busy tomorrow and can't help you!"

She happily decided to watch the show.

Hyakka was furious. "You have a really terrible personality!"

But she couldn't do anything about Haruno; she couldn't force her to come.

"Forget it, it's not worth getting angry with Haruno, this pleasure-seeking person."

Shuya comforted him, "We can find someone else. Aren't there other female voice actresses, like Shibasaki Kazuha?"

"She's so popular, it's hard for her to have time... Everyone else is the same."

The Hyakka returned.

That's true; the voice actors for IS are all chosen based on their fame.

Wait... that doesn't seem to be entirely true.

"Gojo's three people must be free, right?"

"Ah, it's that one, his sister Karasuma Chi... Chi something? Never mind, I can't remember. They're definitely free."

Hyakka nodded; those three people didn't even get many chances to play minor roles.

P. S. 1: I just finished watching Demon Slayer in IMAX, it was so awesome! It's a shame I already knew the plot after watching it once.

PS2: Damn GBF, how many lives have you ruined? (crying)

... Friends, do you know GBF? Interested in becoming a Skyfarer? This game isn't grindy or pay-to-win, and the ancient battlefields are super fun! (Fragmented statement)

Section 630, 588 – We've got this in the bag!

After Shuya finished speaking, Hyakka asked in confusion:

"But it's really strange to suddenly call them up as guests, since none of the three are main voice actors."

"It's alright, it's just a matter of changing the name. We can just say they're assistants."

"Assistants? In that case, we can't just let them come once, otherwise the scheme will be exposed?"

Hyakka had new concerns.

It's fine if the guests only come once, but if they come as assistants, it will change the entire structure of the program, which is something that needs to be discussed with the scholars.

"It's nothing, I just needed to let you know."

Shuya didn't care about this.

He knew that Inoue Hikoo wouldn't care about such trivial matters; as long as the live broadcast achieved its publicity goal, that was enough.

The scholar-officials obviously wouldn't refuse Shuya's request, so this wasn't a huge change.

This means writers have to rethink the script, which adds to their workload.

... Only the world where the writer was wounded was complete.

"Yeah, it's so convenient to work from your own company."

Hyakka nodded and said nothing more.

"I'll ask Gojo right now."

Shuya contacted Gojo, who was his manager, via Line.

Gojo quickly replied that it was no problem. He said that Chitose and the other two had no work on Saturday nights recently, so they could come and help out.

He put it tactfully; in reality, they are available from Monday to Sunday...

"Okay, then come over tomorrow night."

"Thanks."

Gojo, on the other end of the phone, hung up and let out a long sigh.

He just hoped that nothing unexpected would happen during this time, causing the agreement to fall through.

"Hey, Chitose."

He went out of his room and found his sister lying on the sofa in the living room, playing on her phone.

"..."

She certainly heard Gojo's words, but she was too engrossed in watching Nico Nico videos to reply.

I have a new job tomorrow.

"What? Did I pass the audition for the female lead in some anime?"

The Chitose, on his deathbed, was startled awake.

Gojo helplessly, "What are you thinking? That's impossible! It's an IS broadcast; Shuya wants you to be his assistant."

Chitose immediately became elated. "Looking for... looking for me to be his assistant...? Ha, could it be that Shu-chan has a crush on me, which is why he's asking for my help? Hahaha, now my future is secure! I'm guaranteed to win! Yeah!"

"What nonsense are you thinking... It's not just you, it's all three of you going to be assistants."

"What a boring thing to do."

Chitose lay back down and casually said, "Okay, okay, well, I'll try my best anyway."

"... Just remember not to say anything carelessly."

Gojo rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, "I guess I should go with them tomorrow after all..."

After receiving Gojo's reply, Shuya put down his phone and stopped paying attention to them.

He said to Hyakka, "When you go to do the dubbing tomorrow, tell the scholars about this."

"Good."

Hyakka nodded in agreement.

That was the end of the matter, Haruno expressed his regret about it.

"It's late, I should go home."

As the atmosphere cooled slightly, Uesugi Futaro spoke first.

"That's true."

Kyousuke nodded.

He immediately stood up and said to Saori and the Black Cat, "Shall I take you there?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Kyousuke, to escort me and Mr. Black Cat to the station."

Saori smiled, and the Black Cat didn't object.

Yukino said, "Yuigahama -san, let me take you there."

"Thanks!"

Yuigahama a smile.

Mai thought for a moment and decided to take Hyakka home.

Hyakka readily expressed her gratitude.

After everyone agreed, they quickly packed up their things, put away the trash, and took out the trash to dispose of anything that could be thrown away that day.

Washing the dishes was left to Yukino to handle using her Strange Arts.

After everything was settled, everyone left together. Uesugi Futaro and Black Cat were still carrying the leftover desserts, intending to take them back to their younger sister.
