Meanwhile, after ending the call, Masamune began his new work for the day, voicing himself in the anime "Shirobako".

Although he was just a supporting character, he appeared in every two or three episodes, so his screen time wasn't too little.

As a workplace anime based on the Musashino Animation Studio, most of the characters in the story are Musashino employees, which saved a lot of trouble and allowed for a very fast production schedule.

Despite being a 24-episode, half-year anime, it's actually ahead of the other two anime in the same season.

In the recording studio, director Seiichi Kinoshita crossed his arms, watching the voice actors in the distance with excitement and seriousness throughout.

Although I had thought that Hiyama's voice was similar to my own before, I never expected it to be this similar.

Even though he was sitting right next to them, silently watching them, it was as if he were the one speaking.

Of course, to avoid disturbing those who were acting, he remained patient and did not speak up to interrupt them.

Because the dubbing went very smoothly today without any major problems, the work was completed ahead of schedule in just over two hours.

"Thank you all for your hard work! President, your acting this time was outstanding."

"After all, these are things that were said before. The only difficulty is recalling the state of mind when you said them."

Masamune smiled and then looked at the others:

"Chitose's performance today was quite good."

"Like you just said, these are all lines that have been said before. Even if they're not exactly the same, there's still a lot of repetition. In that case, it would be strange if I didn't act well, right?"

Karasuma Chitose subconsciously made a sarcastic remark, but then, unable to contain his excitement, he laughed:

"So animation production is such an interesting thing! Every step is very interesting. But aren't there just too many difficulties?"

“Some difficulties are man-made,” Masamune mused. “How so? Perhaps the fruits of overcoming difficulties are more delicious than those of a smooth journey.”

"Huh...? So, some parts of the anime are fake?"

"There are real and fictional aspects. Some difficulties exist in reality, but they are not as difficult as in the animation and are resolved quickly. There are also some difficulties that do not exist in reality, such as funding issues."

"I know our company isn't short of money in real life, but why is it portrayed in the anime as constantly facing a shortage of funds and having to beg for investment from everyone we know?"

"Of course, it's to gain sympathy and hope that everyone will flock to buy the anime Blu-ray."

Karasuma Chitose paused slightly, then couldn't help but laugh:

"That's true. Sometimes I also play the victim to gain sympathy from my fans. As long as I squeeze out a couple of tears, the criticism against me will instantly reverse, and everyone will turn around and comfort me."

"Don't talk about these kinds of topics in public that will make the fans furious," Watanabe Hayato said helplessly as he walked over. "President, are we going out for dinner together today?"

"No, we're going home as usual today. Let's participate again when the last episode ends."

"In that case, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After seeing Masamune off, Watanabe Hayato turned and asked:

Are you going to a dinner party today, Chitose?

"Let's go, and invite Yae along too, she's on a diet."

"?? Shouldn't we not call her at a time like this?"

"No, no... It's precisely because she's on a diet that we should bring her along, right? Let's use the seniority as an excuse so she can't refuse. Hmph... How can we let her secretly lose weight by herself?"

Watanabe Jun was speechless. Ever since she became acquainted with the president, Ms. Chitose had become increasingly unrestrained and no longer concealed her wicked nature.

This realistic aspect is also depicted in the anime "Shirobako". Hopefully, she won't be criticized after the anime airs.

Chapter 220 Please have mercy on me, I'm already reflecting on my actions.

As time goes by, amidst the enthusiastic promotion of the October anime season, many of the July anime seasons have come to an end.

Among them, K-On! Season 2 is undoubtedly the champion, while Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun firmly occupies the second place and continues to narrow the gap in popularity and sales.

Compared to the previous two, "Eromanga Sensei" has always remained lukewarm in popularity.

"Nozaki is driving me crazy. It's already episode 11, and there's only one episode left. If he doesn't confess soon, it will be too late."

"Why is Monthly Girls' Nocturne only 12 episodes? Damn it! I wonder when the second season will come out."

"Nozaki's manga 'Let's Fall in Love' is also incredibly slow, only one chapter a month. Who's going to read that?"

"Musashino is truly amazing. Every season, a masterpiece is born. Whether it's K-On! or Monthly Girls' No. 1 masterpieces that can dominate the charts, it's a pity that Eromanga was born in the wrong era."

"Eromanga is actually not bad, but it really can't compare to K-On! or Monthly Magazine."

"Don't do that, Izumi-sensei is going to cry (laughs)."

"Izumi-sensei cried. Wasn't he talking about this the whole time during the interview last week? The response to Eromanga, which he wrote with all his might, was so-so, but Oreimo, which he wrote casually, became a huge hit."

"Haha... If someone asked me if I wanted a younger sister like Sagiri, the answer would definitely be yes, I would love to have one! But if they asked me which work I like, I would definitely not vote for Sagiri."

"That old scoundrel Izumi thought his fictional sister would become a huge hit. Young people are just overthinking things. Compared to Sagiri, Kirino is much more normal. My sister's attitude towards me is exactly the same as Kirino's at the beginning of the light novel."

"Izumi, that old scoundrel, has lost all conscience; his fabricated sister is ignored by everyone."

"Izumi is a fraudulent old scoundrel. The content has nothing to do with Eromanga. He deserves no votes."

Looking at the numerous comments online, Izumi Masamune sighed repeatedly.

Although I've seen more of it, I'm not as concerned about online comments as I was at the beginning.

But to be honest, I'm still a little annoyed.

Turning his head, he noticed that many people in the subway car were looking at him. Izumi Masamune immediately realized that he might have made a sound without realizing it.

He quickly put down his phone, grabbed the file bag, and sat up straight.

After the subway arrived at the station, I hurriedly got off and rushed to the hospital.

Kyosuke Kosaka is still in the hospital, and Izumi Masamune's purpose today is to discuss the subsequent plot of the novel with him.

Although only three days had passed since his last visit to the sick, Izumi Masamune had already written a complete outline, which included the contents of the next two volumes.

dong dong...

"Please come in."

Upon hearing the female voice coming from the ward, Izumi Masamune paused for a moment before quickly realizing what was happening.

Upon entering the ward, the first thing you see is Kyosuke Kousaka, whose entire body is in a cast, and a girl with long, straight black hair sitting next to him in a school uniform.

With her bangs and a beauty mark under her eye, Izumi Masamune instantly recognized her as the new heroine of his story, Gokou Ruri.

"How are you feeling today, Kousaka?"

"It's much better."

As they spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke kept gesturing to him with his eyes.

Izumi Masamune stared at him blankly, not understanding what this meant, and tentatively asked:

"Kousaka, are you free now? I've brought over the outlines for the last two volumes of the novel and wanted to discuss them with you. Of course, these are the revised versions."

“No problem, the male and female leads are both here, so we can discuss the plot together,” Kousaka Kyosuke said quickly. “I can’t get up, so please read it to me.”

There's something strange about this person.

"No problem. To avoid affecting your lives, I've had Gokou-san appear in the second volume, and I've set her up as..."

"As the female lead, Ruri's screen time should not be less than Kirino's."

"That's right, that's what I was thinking. So, I set it up so that she and Kirino would argue online using their screen names. In short, that's how I introduced the female protagonist."

Listening to their conversation, Ruri Gokou couldn't help but ask:

"The book is titled 'Little Sister,' and the main theme of the story is also about a little sister, so why am I the female protagonist instead of Kirino?"

"Kirino and I are just ordinary siblings," Kousaka Kyosuke said without hesitation. "Besides, siblings can't possibly have romantic feelings for each other, right?"

"Hmm... but wouldn't that just be a regular romance novel with a sister complex label?" Ruri Gokou asked, looking puzzled.

That's just how reality is.

What's the point of a novel that's a complete copy of reality?

"If we don't follow reality and let Kirino and me fall in love in a novel, my dad will definitely disown me if he takes it seriously."

"Hmm...that makes sense." Ruri Gokou nodded slightly, then asked curiously, "But why am I the female lead?"

"Because among the people I know, you're the only girl my age I'm close to."

"Is that so? I remember you had a childhood sweetheart, didn't you?"

"Precisely because they are childhood sweethearts, it's even less likely that they will end up together."

Izumi Masamune was increasingly confused, not understanding what the two were talking about.

At this moment, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly changed the subject:

"Liuli, I'm a little thirsty. Could you please go downstairs and buy me a cup of oolong tea? I'd like it hot."

"no problem."

After Gokou Ruri hurriedly left, Kousaka Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief and gestured with the corner of his mouth for Izumi Masamune to come closer.

"You almost killed me just now (whispering)."

Izumi Masamune paused slightly, then lowered his voice and asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

"The person who asked Gokou Ruri to come and take care of me told her that I had been in a car accident, was seriously injured, and had no one to take care of me. As the person responsible, I paid her to come and take care of me."

"I see, I understand."

Izumi Masamune nodded knowingly.

When his relationship with his sister was exposed, his father broke all four of his limbs and more than ten bones in his body, leaving him in the hospital.

This absurd and disgraceful reason is indeed impossible to explain to anyone.

"Besides, Ruri doesn't know about my relationship with Kirino. She just thinks she's the female protagonist in the novel. Don't let it slip."

"Mmm... I'm keeping it a secret, don't worry."
