Just as he was thinking this, Doma suddenly noticed that the storyboard on the screen had switched to a school scene.

The plot and dialogue also felt familiar, giving the feeling that "although I haven't said them, they are words I would say."

This inexplicable sense of familiarity gradually calmed Umaru down, and her tense emotions were relieved.

The next moment, accompanied by the announcement from off-stage that the event had begun, they began to read aloud earnestly.

"Stop...! Your delivery of lines is too deliberate, Doma-kun. Don't think of yourself as doing voice acting; just treat this as normal conversation."

Sigh...! Even if I say that, in this kind of atmosphere and environment, I can't really speak as if I'm the one doing the talking.

At that moment, Masamune's voice came from outside the recording studio:

"You can think about how you talk to your friends at school and at home, and then read your lines in that relaxed way."

"Well... in general, you can think of it as you repeating what you've already said."

I see. But with such a frivolous attitude, can one really do a good job of dubbing?

Wait, could this be the feeling I'm looking for?

Doma Umaru seemed to be deep in thought, then turned around and made an OK gesture.

She tried again, and this time she recited her lines very well. However, Ebina, who followed her, stuttered due to excessive nervousness, causing all her previous efforts to be wasted.

"Again!"

"Um, how many chances do we have in total?"

"If we still can't succeed by lunch break today, we might have to replace someone else."

"clear."

Doma Umaru turned to Ebina and the others and made a gesture of encouragement.

After more than ten attempts, the minimum requirement was finally met before lunch break.

"Ebina and Kirie need to practice their lines more, while Umaru and Sylphyn did a good job," Masamune reminded them as they left the recording studio.

"I'm so sorry!" Ebina quickly bowed and apologized.

Masamune waved his hand slightly and then said:

"Himouto has some song recordings this afternoon. If the three of you are interested, you can stay here until the afternoon, and then I will send a car to take you back."

"I'm very interested!"

Suddenly, Sylphyn skipped and hopped up behind Umaru, grinning as she said:

"Today I suddenly realized many unexpected aspects of Umaru. I never thought UMR was Umaru. Hehe... No wonder she is my eternal rival."

“Umaru…is so cute,” Ebina whispered.

Ah!

Doma looked embarrassed. When he was doing the voice acting, he noticed that the three of them didn't react much. It turned out they were waiting for him here.

Fortunately, in reality, I didn't pretend to be my younger sister Kokoro in front of Kirie, thus temporarily preserving a little bit of my reputation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"It's alright, I also have many things I can't tell others," Ebina quickly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that several people were staring at him with great interest. His face turned slightly red, and he unconsciously looked down at the floor.

"Is what Ebina is hiding? Is it that he has a huge appetite? Or is it that you like this about your brother?" Doma Umaru asked tentatively.

"Huh...!? I...I..."

Ebina's heart skipped a beat, her face turned bright red, and she instantly transformed into a steampunk princess.

At this moment, Doma suddenly became somewhat excited.

Ebina is so cute. Compared to her, my privacy doesn't seem so embarrassing anymore.

Sure enough, happiness comes from comparison.

Chapter 192 Umaru's Heartfelt Words

"Let's go eat first."

Upon hearing Masamune's words, Doma Umaru instantly snapped back to reality. Now was not the time to hurt each other with Ebina.

"Okay, where to?"

"The Musashino restaurant next door is close by, just a few steps away."

"no problem."

Realizing that none of them seemed to have been to the restaurant next door, Masamune turned to look at Shizuka Sakaki:

"Shizuka, take them to the next room to wait for us. I've already booked a private room, room 303."

"Should I go too?"

Do you have any other bookings?

"No, not at all." Shizuka Sakaki hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

"In that case, let's share a bento box."

"it is good."

Seeing Masamune leave in a hurry, Doma Umaru asked curiously:

"Shizuka-sensei, is the restaurant next door Musashino Shokudo?"

"More or less. It's a semi-contracted department, operating independently, but the company will also cover part of the salary. By the way, the training is over, just call me sister."

"Sorry, I kept calling you 'teacher' so easily that I forgot. Shizuka-neechan, Shizuka-neechan..."

Sakaki Shizuka, who had been called five or six times in a row, couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go, it's closer to go through the main entrance."

"Okay, Shizuka-neechan."

It was rush hour, the peak time for elevator use, so the group left the Musashino building via the stairs and went to the restaurant next door.

Led by Shizuka Sakaki, they arrived at room 303.

Upon opening the door, he was taken aback to find five young girls sitting inside.

"Sorry, we've come to the wrong room," Shizuka Sakaki quickly apologized.

"No, you haven't gone to the wrong place."

Akiyama Mio immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"You were also called over by Mr. Masamune, right? Umaru, we just finished recording our single this morning, and then Mr. Masamune called us over, saying he wanted to help you record a song."

"Huh...? Live music?" Doma asked, looking surprised.

"That's right, it works better this way."

Soon, the group introduced themselves to each other.

When Masamune led Mashiro and the others into the private room, they saw the group chatting and laughing.

"Good afternoon, Mr. President."

"Good afternoon, thank you for coming all this way. There's only one song to record today. After lunch, rest for a bit, and we'll start at 1:30."

"no problem."

As they were talking, they noticed that Masamune and the other three had all taken out lunchboxes at the same time. Doma Umaru asked curiously:

"Are you... living together?"

"I know what you're trying to say, but we're just ordinary friends."

Preparing bento boxes for four people must be very tiring, right?

"My mom was so kind and I couldn't refuse. Luckily, Tomoyo was there, and she helped a lot with housework."

It turned out to be the case.

Doma Umaru nodded slightly in understanding, then looked at the four bento boxes on the table with renewed interest.

"Wouldn't it seem strange to eat a bento box in a private room at the restaurant? Or, how about I get you some?"

"Please help yourself." Masamune naturally understood what she meant, pushed the bento box forward, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be polite. Try any dishes you want to eat."

"Then I won't be polite." Doma Umaru was the first to pick up the chopsticks.

“Me too! I’ve been looking forward to Hayase’s food ever since I watched the anime last year, and now I finally have the chance to try it.” Ritsu Tainaka followed closely behind.

The five members of K-On!, Umaru and three friends, plus Shizuka Sakaki, made a total of 10 people. Each person had two chopsticks, and soon only rice remained in Masamune's bento box.

"Aren't you going a bit too far? I haven't even touched it yet."

"Hehe... This is a restaurant, so there's no shortage of food here." Doma Umaru said with a wicked smile, "It's delicious, as expected of Hayase's food."

Sniff sniff...

Hirasawa Yui sniffed the air a few times and asked curiously:

"Since just now, I've been smelling a faint, pleasant fragrance. I initially thought it was coming from the food in the bento box, but it doesn't seem to be."

"That's right, what's with this smell? It makes me even hungrier." Doma Umaru nodded repeatedly.

? ?

Masamune glanced to the side, sniffed twice, and instantly understood, saying with a smile:

"This is the superpower that Mashiro got in the last season. She can emit different scents depending on her mood."

"Oh... there's such a superpower?" Doma's face lit up with excitement, then she turned to the others, "Mio-senpai, what are your superpowers?"

“I can talk to dogs, and Azusa is a cat,” Yui Hirasawa chimed in.

"Really?"

"real."

"I'm so envious. Will I be able to gain such superpowers in six months?"
