Gone in a Flash

Hyakka said impatiently, "Ugh, this is so annoying! What does this have to do with them?"

"They're bored."

Shuya knew that most people didn't really care; they were just bandwagoners.

Taking it seriously means you lose... but to be honest, these kinds of meme-playing kids are really annoying.

If this continues, he'll want his men to trace them down the internet and beat them to a pulp.

As he pondered these dangerous matters, the scholar-official shouted, "Ready, 3...2...1, begin!"

The live broadcast started on time, Hyakka instantly switched to "business mode": "Good evening everyone, can you see it? It's starting!"

"Good evening."

After Shuya finished speaking, he looked at the three stiff people next to Hyakka. They were quite nervous and didn't find the right time to greet her.

Hyakka poked Katakura Kyo's thigh with her hand under the table.

"Ahem! Good evening!"

Only then did they greet each other.

Gojo was fine at first, but this reaction made him start to get nervous.

Fortunately, the audience wasn't paying attention to them; the Danmaku was full of mischief.

However, any truly offensive remarks would have been blocked long ago; they wouldn't be able to post them.

"This is IS's Infinite Broadcasting Bureau. Please bear with us for the next hour."

After Hyakka finished speaking, Shuya continued, "Everyone should have noticed that there are three extra people here. They are the assistants for this program— Chitose- chan. Please introduce yourselves."

He immediately used these three people as shields.

"Okay, okay! I am..."

When Karasuma Chitose started speaking, she stuttered for a moment, but quickly adapted.

Shuya barely listened to their self-introductions; he and Hyakka were too busy watching the Danmaku.

When the three of them were talking, the conversation about the two of them decreased significantly.

This tactic is still effective.

As expected of a voice actor's shield loved by adults. (laughs)

After the three finished speaking, Shuya asked, "The first episode of IS aired smoothly yesterday, did everyone watch it?"

A barrage of comments Danmaku:

"I saw it."

"It looks great."

"Very nice!"

"Shu-chan ---!"

"Promise me you won't play games anymore, okay?"

The last one was decisively ignored.

Hyakka smiled and said, "We watched it with our friends from the agency yesterday too, and the gathering was very enjoyable."

"Ah, I saw the tweet! The hot pot looks delicious."

Chitose wiped her mouth, as if she was about to drool.

Shuya: "Actually, it's just so-so, not as good as their homemade dishes."

Hyakka nodded. "Yes, Haruno, Yukino, and Mai are all good at cooking..."

They chatted for a while at the beginning, and then began reading letters from the audience.

Shuya read the emails that Takahashi had picked out regarding the issues with Hanazawa Sakura and Yusho Sakura from the very beginning.

As expected, his reading caused an uproar among the onlookers, with the Danmaku filled with comments. Then he and Hyakka skillfully pretended to be stupid, and the three Chitose them followed the script and made fun of them for a while.

After this back and forth, the audience vented and stopped rehashing the story so frantically.

Finally, it can be disseminated and promoted normally.

They chatted about anime, mainly about which characters or scenes they liked.

These topics are all boring. Even Shuya and Hyakka can hardly make them interesting. They're completely fan-oriented content. Many casual viewers who came for Shuya ended up turning them off after a while.

The number of viewers has been dropping again and again, but there are still over a million people watching... which is actually quite exaggerated.

Chitose and the others had never experienced anything like this before, so they didn't know how to deal with it and didn't dare to speak freely, resulting in a rather somber atmosphere.

But this is also in line with their role as assistants.

"... Okay, we've almost finished discussing the anime content. Now let's move on to the program segment—relationship advice!"

"Oh!"

The three workers clapped their hands, while Shuya remained noncommittal.

Hyakka continued, "As everyone knows, the school where the protagonist, Ichika, attends is all girls, and he himself is very popular. And coincidentally, Ichika's voice actor Shu-chan, is also very popular with girls..."

"Therefore, we extracted this segment and accepted submissions of our viewers' relationship troubles. We're sure that Shu-chan, who's so popular, is very good at solving these kinds of problems! Right?"

Here it is! A classic segment that appears in all sorts of radio broadcasts!

Section 634, page 592: Coming and Going Like the Wind

Hyakka continued, "As everyone knows, the school where the protagonist of IS, Ichika, attends is all girls, and he himself is very popular. And coincidentally, Ichika's voice actor Shu-chan, is also very popular with girls..."

"Therefore, we extracted this segment to accept submissions of our viewers' relationship troubles. We believe that Shu-chan, who is so popular, must be very good at solving these kinds of problems, right?"

Hyakka looked at Shuya, only to find his face expressionless.

"Hmm? Shu-chan? Can you cheer up a bit?"

"No, I just wonder if this step is really necessary?"

Shuya looked at the camera and said, "You otaku have relationship problems? Aren't you the best at dealing with other people's relationship issues? Do you need me to answer them?"

"Here comes the problematic comment! Don't let it drag me down with you if you get attacked!"

Hyakka quickly issued a rebuttal to distance herself from the situation.

"I think I've said this before, this thing mainly depends on looks... Oh, I don't think that thing is included."

He was referring to his answer when he was asked about the secret to his popularity at a fan meeting for the Hyakka Film Festival.

Shuya said, "While it's true that an interesting soul is more attractive, without a good face, no one wants to know if your soul is interesting or not. In conclusion, looks are still more important."

Chitose nodded subconsciously. "That makes sense!"

"Hey, hey, have some decency!"

Katakura Kyo couldn't help but complain.

Yae exclaimed in panic, "Oh no! I'm going to get yelled at!"

"I don't think I'll get criticized. I've always said this, and my fans should be used to it by now."

Shuya the Way.

Seeing that time was running out, Hyakka ignored his words and said, "Shu-chan, Hyakka- chan, good evening. Okay, good evening. I'm xxxx. I have a friend who has a crush on a girl who's been flirting with him, but yesterday he suddenly discovered that the girl is actually a boy. What should he do?"

Hyakka said gently, "... Thank you for your letter, xxxx. Really? You're a boy? That's great too! Go for it!"

Katakura Kyo exclaimed in surprise, "How perfunctory!"

Shuya and said, "Brother, is the friend you're talking about really yourself? Well... I think since your friend didn't reject you right away, it means he's somewhat interested, right? Why don't you give it a try?"

He answered very casually.

Hyakka nodded. "Okay, problem solved! Next."

"Yay!"

Chitose also clapped along perfunctorily.

"Is this... is this really okay?"

Kugayama Yae trembled with fear at the casual remarks of Shuya and the other two, Katakura Kyoya remained silent for a moment.

Then Shuya and Hyakka worked together, easily and quickly resolving all the problems.

Their answers were all unconventional, the weirder the better.

It would be strange if someone took this kind of show seriously, and even the authenticity of the first email is questionable.

Shuya suspected that it was made up by the author.

After this segment ended, there was another round of promotion, and then the live broadcast was over.

"---See you all next week, bye-bye!"

"Bye."

"Goodbye!"

The crowd waved haphazardly, completing the live broadcast.

"Ha... it's finally over."

"I'm so nervous..."

Yae and Katakura Kyo were the first to slump onto the table.

The Chitose laughed loudly, "It's alright, hahaha!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Shuya said something pointless and meaningless.

Hyakka said, "Well, isn't it pretty good for the first time?"

She stretched and asked, "Shu-chan, are we going home afterwards? Or are we going somewhere to have fun?"

"Let's go for a walk for a while before going back. I have nothing to do anyway, and I don't have to go to the film set tomorrow... Ah, goodbye everyone."

Goodbye~

Shuya and Hyakka got up while talking.

They walked towards the door, bidding farewell to Gojo and the scholars along the way, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Katakura Kyo scratched his head. "Ha... you walk really fast."

Is this the composure of the strong?

Yae exclaimed in surprise, Chitose replied, "Well, isn't this good? Unlike some voice actors who are annoying."

"Your Chitose, stop saying such things."

Upon hearing this, Gojo offered a reminder.

Unlike Chitose Shuya doesn't have a special status and isn't afraid of offending people.

"Yes, yes---Hmph, is Gojo my mother?!"

Chitose also lay down on the table.

"I'm talking to you..."

Gojo covered his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.

Meanwhile, Shuya and Hyakka had already left the company.

"Shu-chan, I suddenly have an idea."

"What?"

Shuya puzzled.

"How about coming to my place to play games?"

She gave a mischievous smile.
