"Xiao Xun, you should have already seen this script, right?"

"Yes, although this is the first time I've seen the script, I've heard Mr. Hayase talk about the story's direction before."

"So, the reason you and Arima invited me to participate in the competition was to prevent Kitahara from stealing me away?"

Kaori Miyazono was somewhat embarrassed, but she forced herself to nod slightly, suppressing her shyness.

"The three of you will not be happy together. I like Ogiso-senpai and don't want to see you ruined by Kitahara Haruki."

"That's a bit unfair. It's supposed to be a game for three people, but I ran away first."

"Then...should Kogiso-senpai take the initiative to get to know Kitahara Haruki?"

"Not really. I'm not very familiar with Kitahara-san. It's just that I'm a little curious about Touma-san because of the script. I wonder how different she is in real life from the character in the script?"

“I know that. I’ve secretly checked it. It’s exactly the same, without any difference.”

"So, she likes Kitahara-kun?"

"probably."

"Should we get involved?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the worried look on Kaori Miyazono's face, and Setsuna Ogiso couldn't help but laugh:

"Just kidding. Kitahara and I have barely spoken, so there's no way I could say I like him or anything like that."

"To be honest, I'm not familiar with Kitahara-kun in real life. Will it seem a bit unrealistic when the anime airs?"

"If you need it, we can change the name of Ogiso Setsuna in the anime."

Masamune then changed the subject and continued:

"However, the evaluation mechanism in the sky is very rigid. It seems to be based on names. According to our judgment, if the name is changed, the heroine may not be able to receive the reward."

"Since it's going to be made into an animation anyway, wouldn't it be a huge loss if it didn't get the reward just because of its name?"

"Many male and female protagonists in previous animations thought the same way."

“That makes sense.” Ogiso Setsuna said thoughtfully, “I’m fine on my end. Although I’m a little embarrassed, there’s nothing shameful about it.”

After all, this is an animation that will be broadcast during prime time, and there are no overly intimate actions between the male and female protagonists.

“Thank you very much.” Masamune nodded slightly, then said, “In addition to the story licensing, we would also like to invite you to be your own voice actor.”

"Huh...? Wait a minute." Kaori Miyazono couldn't help but interject, "I finally managed to separate the three of them. If I make all three of them do the voice acting together, what's the difference between that and making them experience the story from the script all over again?"

"How worried are you about me?" Ogiso Setsuna laughed unconsciously. "Don't worry, Kaoru. In the anime storyline, I chose to run away because I was close to those two."

"But in reality, knowing beforehand that they like each other, how could I possibly go and interfere?"

That's theoretically correct, but Kaori Miyazono is still a little uneasy.

After learning about the story that would happen to the three of them, she strongly agreed with Hayase Masamune's opinion that the three of them would not be happy together.

Even if they don't have any relationship now, getting together will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Noticing the hesitant expression on Kaori Miyazono's face, Masamune also fell into deep thought.

"Three men make a duo," was a consensus he shared with Kaori Miyazono.

But it's impossible to tie Ogiso Setsuna up and forbid her from ever contacting the other two again.

Rather, since they're in the same school, they're bound to have some interaction.

"Ms. Ogiso..."

"Just call me Setsuna. It always feels a little strange to be called by my surname."

"In that case, Ms. Yukina, our Musashino-affiliated voice actor agency is also responsible for the management of voice actors. Perhaps you don't intend to become a voice actress, but becoming an idol singer is also a good future for you."

"Huh...? An idol singer? Me?"

"That's right. Voice actors these days have been idolized and are active in the industry, including stage, record, and photo industries. But after you sign a contract, you don't need to be a voice actor. You just need to sing, which means you'll be the most traditional idol singer."

Masamune paused for a moment, then added:

"Furthermore, since we are a voice actor agency, you are the only singer we have signed for the time being."

"In this way, the competitive pressure is almost non-existent, and all the resources in this area are yours alone."

Ogiso Setsuna stared blankly at the group, then couldn't help but laugh:

"Are you targeting my weakness? I really don't know where you got the idea that I like to sing."

"Indeed, I am very passionate about singing. Just like in the script, I can sit in a karaoke room and sing for hours on end."

"Becoming a professional idol singer is also an offer that I find hard to refuse."

"But why? Just to stop me from being with Kitahara-kun?"

"That's about 50% of the reason, and the other 50% is that we have a very high opinion of your potential," Masamune said with a smile.

"Huh...? That's more than 50%? Even if I'm heartbroken, it won't affect you guys much, right?"

"No!"

Kaori Miyazono interrupted:

"I really like Setsuna-senpai, and I don't want to see you fall into such a miserable situation."

"Nothing has happened yet, so we can't be sure I'll definitely lose, right?" Ogiso Setsuna couldn't help but say.

“No, you will definitely lose.” Masamune said in a deep voice, “Kitahara Haruki is indecisive, Touma Kazusa has a long-standing bond with him, and you were a latecomer from the very beginning. If you hadn’t been certain that you couldn’t win under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t have run away.”

Why do people say I sound like a mistress?

"You said it yourself."

"...Hehe...Thank you for worrying about me so much."

Ogiso Setsuna couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she had ever been worried about by someone outside her family, but the feeling wasn't so bad.

"Alright, I agree to everything you say, whether it's part-time voice acting or idol singer, I'll agree to it."

"Very well, then it's settled."

Masamune smiled and then said:

"To become an idol singer, you can't get too involved in romance."

"I'll revise the script again and set it up so that they break up on the second day of their relationship, so it only goes as far as holding hands."

"To avoid misunderstandings among viewers, the final episode of the anime will reveal Ogiso Setsuna's inner thoughts."

"In this way, it won't have much of an impact on you; instead, it will put you in the position of a victim."

"Won't this change affect the story?" Setsuna Ogiso asked in surprise.

"No, the interesting part of this story isn't there. Since there are no plans for a second season, this correction is appropriate."

Although Kitahara Haruki may face a lot of criticism, given his personality, he probably won't care.

Besides, men are meant to bear more pressure during times like these.

"You will sing all the songs in the anime yourself. You can release a record while promoting the anime, so that you can quickly become a popular singer after the anime airs."

"Thank you, I might need to discuss it with my family."

"No problem, I'll personally lead a team to your home to discuss this."

"Huh...? Is it this formal?"

"Of course, this is a major event that concerns your future life."

"That's fine then, thank you for your help."

"When you sign the papers tonight, we'll give you a signing fee. Just quit your job. You might as well use that time to practice singing more."

"Huh...? The song is already written?"

"I've written half of it. I'll discuss it with Mio later and ask her to finish it."

Just like the song "Unreachable Love" that is almost always associated with Setsuna Ogiso, Masamune can hum 70% of it, but he can't write it out and has to ask someone to perfect it.

The same applies to other songs that suit her.

Therefore, it can only be said that it is only half written.

Chapter 223 The Meeting with the Kogiso Family

Although she was already a senior in high school, because she was in the affiliated high school of Minegashima University, Ogiso Setsuna had not yet thought about her future plans after graduation, and just temporarily followed the crowd and filled in a college entrance exam.

Or rather, as long as their grades aren't bad, the vast majority of students at this high school will be able to get into Peak City University.

And after moving on to a higher education, interpersonal relationships usually do not change.

Therefore, after returning home from school in the afternoon, she hesitated for a moment, but at dinner time, she immediately told her parents about signing the contract.

"So, that animation company wants to create a fictional romance story based on you? And at the same time, they want to sign you and train you to be an idol singer?"

Hearing her father's words, Ogiso Setsuna hesitated for a moment before speaking hesitantly;

"It's not entirely fictional. I heard from Kaoru that President Hayase can foresee the future."

"Therefore, that should be a true story, that is, a future that has not yet happened."

"The character I play in the script and the real me have almost the same personality."

"Although I don't know the other two people, based on my own judgment, if they hadn't come looking for me, the story might have become a reality."

“Since it hasn’t happened yet, it’s fabricated,” Kogiso’s father emphasized deliberately, then asked, “What do you think?”

“I like to sing, so it’s no problem.”

“Being an idol singer is not that simple. Although I don’t know much about that industry, I know it’s not an easy thing.”

“I know, but for me, this is also an opportunity, isn’t it?”

Kogiso's father hesitated for a moment, but did not object.

Although I was very worried about my daughter's safety, she has always loved singing, and this was indeed a good opportunity.

only...

"Who is that President Hayase who personally went to see you? Is he reliable?"
