This can be seen from the fact that Tomoyo and he were not very familiar with each other.

While pondering, Masamune noticed that Shizuka Sakaki looked like she wanted to say something, and asked with a smile:

"Do you have any good suggestions, Shizuka?"

"I think Okazaki is overthinking it."

Shizuka Sakaki hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Okazaki, as long as you can properly express the feelings between you and Nagisa that have grown from nothing, that will be enough."

"As for the other female characters, they are just friends with you in the animation. There's no need to overthink it. Just find your own feeling based on your personality."

Okazaki Tomoya suddenly understood and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see, thank you."

Turning his head, he noticed that everyone in the room was looking at him, and he was taken aback.

Tomoyo Sakagami, the Fujibayashi sisters, Kotomi Ichinose, Youhei Sunohara whom he hadn't seen for many years, and his parents-in-law who had recently moved to Tokyo and were now living with him.

The room was full of familiar faces, which stirred up a lot of nostalgia in him, as if he had returned to his high school days.

He subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, and suddenly remembered that his wife, who should have liked this kind of occasion, had passed away many years ago.

“Anne, Ryou, Ichinose, and Sunohara, it’s been a long time.”

"Too slow! I've been in here for several minutes, and you're only just noticing me now."

Sunohara Yohei's face lit up with joy, and he really wanted to go over and punch him, but he remembered that this was a very serious occasion, and that Sakagami Tomoyo was not far away, so he suppressed his excitement.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice you," Okazaki Tomoya apologized softly.

After dropping his daughter off at school in the morning, he went with his parents-in-law to the recording location designated by Musashino.

For the past few days, professional voice actors have been visiting us daily to guide the four of us on how to do voice acting.

As the female lead in the second half of the animation, Xiaoxi also received voice acting guidance, but it's unclear whether she understood it.

"It's okay, I understand how you feel."

Sunohara Youhei sighed softly, his expression extremely complicated.

After many years, we met again, but I never expected it to be in such a setting.

Even more unexpectedly, so many tragedies befell Okazaki.

"What's Xiaoxi's situation now? If I said something wrong, you can scold me all you want. Is she... still alive?"

"Yes, thanks to President Hayase, the surgery was a success."

"What kind of illness? It shouldn't be the same as the one in the anime, right?"

"Congenital heart disease."

"I see. It's good that you're alive. May I address you as father-in-law?"

"roll!"

"Compared to the past, Tomoya is still the same Tomoya, he hasn't changed at all."

Sunohara Youhei couldn't help but laugh, even though he still had a lot to say about Tomoya's life and his own.

But there's really no need to ask about the rest; everything is in the animation script.

"There's still some time before the dubbing starts. If you have any questions, feel free to speak up, and we'll work together to find a solution," Masamune said again.

Fujibayashi Kyou secretly glanced at Okazaki Tomoya and whispered:

"Several years have passed since high school, and I've almost forgotten what I was like back then."

"If we start dubbing right away, it will definitely just become reading from the script, right?"

"Ms. Sakaki, as a professional voice actress, do you have any good advice? For example, tips on how to help me recall past feelings."

"Why not just throw a dictionary around a few times?" Sunohara Youhei said without hesitation. "It's been so many years, I almost forgot what you look like, but the moment I saw you after you came in, I thought of the dictionary that came flying at me."

"I'm really sorry then."

Fujibayashi Kyou glared at him, and for some reason felt like she was back in high school.

"It's a pity that Nagisa Furukawa isn't here, otherwise this would be a high school reunion." Yohei Sunohara sighed with emotion. "Tomoya, don't you have any plans to find a stepmother for Ushio?"

Fujibayashi Kyou was secretly delighted. Despite being a fool, she had done a great job at a time like this.

No, it's precisely because they're idiots that they can say such things without a care in the world.

"No," Okazaki Tomoya shook his head slightly and said softly, "There's no room for anyone else in my heart."

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Let me see... Ichinose-san, actually I'm still single."

boom!

Tomoyo couldn't help but punch him, saying irritably:

"Let's reminisce, but let's not talk about these unimportant topics."

"What? I didn't look for you."

“As an employee of Musashino, I will not allow you to act recklessly here.”

"Huh...? How did you end up at an animation production company? It's totally unrelated to you. Or rather, you're not even involved in organized crime..."

boom!

Tomoyo punched him again, then turned her gaze to Masamune:

"Can we replace him? Masamune, I don't think he can do a good job of voice acting."

"Huh...!? No way!" Haruhara Youhei panicked instantly. "After I signed the contract, I sent the money I received back to my hometown. Moreover, when I asked the company for leave, I assured them that they would be able to see me on TV soon."

"Then focus on your work and don't take the opportunity to flirt with our temporary female employees."

"Yes…"

Chapter 265 This is the gap between reality and animation

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the recording officially began.

Although they made a series of mistakes during their first attempt due to unfamiliarity with the equipment and rhythm, their minds still unconsciously drifted back to a few years ago as they recited their lines.

Back then, Sunohara was still blonde, and Sakagami Tomoyo's eyes were full of light...

'If I hadn't met Nagisa, I wonder what I would have become? Maybe I would have continued to wallow in self-pity.'

'Misae-nee didn't come. She's never been interested in these things. While having a voice actress dub is fine, it does feel a little off to people who know her well.'

During a break from dubbing, Okazaki Tomo unconsciously found himself thinking about his own thoughts.

Before I knew it, more than three hours of the morning had passed.

“Thank you all very much for your cooperation. How are your throats feeling?” Kinoshita Seiichi asked.

Tomoyo Sakagami cleared her throat and nodded slightly:

"I have very few scenes and lines, and I don't talk much. I'm in good condition."

“I’m fine with it,” Okazaki’s friend added. “It’s not like I’m talking non-stop, so it won’t have much of an impact.”

After Kinoshita Seiichi questioned everyone one by one and confirmed that there were no problems, he turned his gaze to Masamune:

"President, we originally planned to spend the whole day today dubbing the first episode."

"At the time, we thought it was their first time and there might be a lot of problems, but we didn't expect things to go more smoothly than we thought, which saved a lot of time."

"In that case, let's continue recording the second episode this afternoon. To avoid any problems with anyone's voice, let's rest tomorrow and continue the day after tomorrow."

“Okay.” Masamune nodded slightly. “I’ve already booked a hotel this morning. Let’s have a simple lunch together, rest for a while, and then start at 2 p.m.

"No problem, where is it?"

"The one I usually go to on the street."

"it is good."

……

In the hotel lobby, all of Sakagami Tomoyo's old friends from Hikari-zaka Middle School sat at the same table.

However, only Sunohara Youhei seemed slightly excited, constantly asking Okazaki Tomoya all sorts of questions. The atmosphere was rather quiet for the others, who were not very familiar with each other.

Sitting not far away, Guhe's parents exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing.

Tomoya is a kid with few friends, and he doesn't deliberately talk about company matters during dinner every day.

If I could become even more cheerful, that would be a good thing.

Turning her head, Sanae Furukawa unconsciously struck up a conversation with Kotomi Ichinose.

"Ichinose, how's it going at your school? The voice acting took a long time, what did they say about it?"

“I asked my advisor for a long leave, and Musashino also sent someone to the school.”

"Where are you staying? Where are you living now?"

"The school is in Tokyo, about an hour away."

This child, like Shiina Mashiro, is not good with words, but she is always alone, unlike Shiina who has someone to take care of her wherever she goes.

Thinking of this, Sanae Furukawa said again:

"Living alone must be tough, right? How different is your personal situation from the one in the animation script?"

“Not long ago, after reading the animation script, I took the initiative to call that person and asked him to send my parents’ suitcases over. The rest is basically the same.”

Is this the difference between animation and reality?

In reality, the former Kotomi Ichinose thought that man was a bad person and didn't want to have any interaction with him, deliberately avoiding him, which is why she was unable to get the box for a long time.

Although it was just a cheap rag doll, it was a very precious treasure to her.

Meanwhile, later in the anime, she becomes good friends with Tomoya, Nagisa, and others, but they don't have much contact in real life.

Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't have many friends.

However, even though it was something that even the parties involved didn't know about, and because several years had passed, it was impossible to investigate, Musashino knew so much about it. No wonder it's a place that many people call a superpower workshop.
