[Are you still half asleep? Or...wait...? You have a fever? Just a moment...I'll get some medicine.]

I have a cold.

[It's obvious that taking the medicine and then sleeping helps him recover faster.]

[I can't sleep now.]

[If it's a manga, there are still several chapters in reserve, so don't worry.]

[This isn't a comic; I need to go to the office.]

[Since you're both sick, take two days off and rest at home. Anyway, I don't have anything planned for today, so I'll stay home with you.]

How do I request leave?

[So, try saying, "I need to take two days off."]

I need to take two days off.

[Very good, I approve.]

Why was it Masamune who approved my leave?

[Because I'm your boss.]

[Who was Masamune's superior?]

[Let me think... Miss Okitsu.]

Although she auditioned for the role of Shiina Mashiro, because there was no one to act with her, Shizuka Sakaki had to dub Masamune's voice as well.

Immediately afterwards, the panicked voice of Masamune's mother rose again in the recording studio, along with many other sound effects.

After the first test, Shizuka Sakaki frowned deeply.

She had performed very well and given her all, but she still felt something was off; it didn't feel like Mashiro at all.

It might be because she has been focusing on the role of the club president during this period, or it might be because her own voice is quite different from Mashiro's.

"Feel sorry…"

"Shall we try again?" Masamune asked in a deep voice.

"Forget it, this is my limit right now." Shizuka Sakaki shook her head slightly. "Even if I tried again, it wouldn't be any better than this time."

"In that case, it is hereby announced that Shizuka Sakaki has not been selected. You can take some time to think carefully about which character from the four anime series this season would be more suitable for you."

"Yes."

Seeing Shizuka Sakaki silently retreat to the side, the many voice actors behind her all looked flustered.

If even this level of acting isn't good enough, it seems we'll have to get Mashiro herself to take the role.

However, I should still give it a try; maybe I'll perform beyond my usual level?

For the next twenty minutes or so, people kept coming into the recording studio to audition for the role of Shiina Mashiro, but their performances were all very mediocre, with a very obvious difference in quality, and they were far less natural than Shizuka Sakaki.

As the last voice actor who wanted to try out the role of Mashiro walked out of the recording studio, Masamune shook his head slightly and sighed:

"It seems we can only hope that the formal selection process will find a suitable role."

"Aren't you going to invite Mashiro herself to play the role?" Shizuka Sakaki couldn't help but ask. "The role of Shiina Mashiro is too special. I can simulate her voice, but I can never quite understand her feelings. I think only Mashiro herself is the most suitable choice."

"Unfortunately, there are too many anime to produce this season. I can barely find the time, but Mashiro really can't."

"Eh……"

That makes sense. Mashiro herself has to direct the animation, draw the manga, and has assignments to do every week. It doesn't matter if she's a supporting character who only appears in one or two episodes, but with 24 episodes of anime, she definitely doesn't have that much time.

After all, it takes several hours to prepare an episode of animation, which is half a day.

Since voice acting can't be done all day, it would take 24 days, plus the OVA, and a month would be gone.

Thinking of this, Shizuka Sakaki couldn't help but look around.

I can adjust my voice to be similar to hers, but I can't understand Mashiro's feelings, so my dubbing isn't very good.

However, if someone can both adjust their voice and understand Mashiro's feelings, they can naturally do a very good job of dubbing.

? ?

The next moment, Shizuka Sakaki walked quickly toward Setsuna Ogiso, the popular singer and part-time voice actress who had been sitting on a bench not far away reading a script.

"Setsuna, why don't you try voicing Mashiro?"

"me?"

"Hmm. You also know how to adjust your voice. Adjusting your voice to be closer to Mashiro's shouldn't be too difficult with a little practice. Besides, I think you should be able to understand her feelings."

"What about my own role? I also appeared in Pure White, although it was just a minor supporting role."

"Either you voice two characters at the same time, or you can ask Mashiro to voice you."

"Why…!?"

Ogiso Setsuna looked surprised. They're doing voice acting for each other? That's quite interesting.

only--

"Why are you so sure that I understand Mashiro's feelings, Shizuka-nee?"

Sakaki Shizuka leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Many women like the president, but liking someone is not the same as liking them. I think you are very suitable."

"Why…?"

The moment she cried out in surprise, she realized that Shizuka Sakaki was already far away, smiling at her.

Ogiso Setsuna pursed her lips and said softly:

"Sure, I'll give it a try, but I can't switch between different voices as easily as Shizuka-nee. Could you please act alongside me?"

"No problem," Shizuka Sakaki agreed with a smile.

Upon entering the recording studio again, this time, Shizuka Sakaki voiced the role of Masamune Hayase, while Setsuna Ogiso voiced Mashiro Shiina.

The moment the conversation began, everyone present clearly had a different feeling.

Her voice sounded very calm, and she even imitated Mashiro's usual way of speaking, but it was clearly different from others, as if it contained something else.

Chapter 340 She's been cheated on!

"Phew...finally finished the last delivery."

On Saturday afternoon, after delivering his last order, Aki Tomoya parked his bicycle on the side of the street and sat down on a bench next to him.

While fanning herself with her hand to cool down as quickly as possible, she unconsciously took out her phone.

Although I was physically exhausted, seeing the anime girl on my phone's home screen instantly made my mental fatigue disappear.

After opening many commonly used apps, I suddenly discovered that many groups were discussing the new Musashino anime series for the next season.

"Have the new anime series for the next season already been released? Wow, that's fast! Even earlier than expected."

"Hmm... Musashino is doing better and better now, and I should have contributed to that, though it's a small part. That's how it should be, we must fully support such a great company."

Since he hadn't seen the PV yet, to avoid spoilers, Aki Tomoya left the group chat and went to the Musashino official website.

The first thing you see are four banner recommendations on the homepage.

"The first one is... Bakuman! It's getting an anime adaptation already? Won't the manga's progress fall far behind when the anime airs?"

"In this case, unless there are changes to the plot of both stories, it will definitely affect the sales of the comics."

Upon opening the Bakuman King PV, the consistently excellent art style instantly captured Aki Tomoya's full attention.

"So beautiful...! Is Azuki Miho really this beautiful in real life? I never felt this heart-pounding when I looked at her photos."

"Is it the anime/manga element or just that the art is exceptionally good? On another note, the details of the clothing drawn by Shiina-sensei are absolutely stunning..."

With background music playing, the animated PV ends with Mashiro Moritaka turning around in front of Azuki's house.

"It's much prettier than the manga. Although it's not nice to say it like that, I wish Bakuman was drawn by Shiina-sensei."

Muttering to himself, Aki Tomoya shook his head repeatedly:

"No, we can't think like that, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to Mr. Mashiro."

Return to the original screen and open the second PV.

"Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-? Has Musashino adapted another light novel?"

Coincidentally, he had read this light novel.

Although the author's writing style is not very good, the concept is very interesting and original.

At the time, he was thinking that when this animation was adapted into a live-action film, he hoped to find a good animation company, otherwise it would be a waste of such a good subject matter.

Unexpectedly, Musashino took over the project; it was like winning the lottery.

"Wow...this is so much prettier than the illustrations in the novel, isn't it?"

"Amelia is portrayed as the most beautiful woman in the world, but the novel illustrations don't reflect that at all, and even the cover illustrations don't convey the same feeling."

"But the character designs in the anime are just too good. Sure enough, all the otaku in the world are fans of white-haired characters."

The next moment, Aki Tomoya thought of voice actors again.

When promoting anime, voice actors cosplaying has become commonplace, but Musashino's cosplay is particularly realistic, from the texture of the clothes to the color of her hair, it all looks just like the real thing.

"Huh...? Emilia's voice actress is Umaru? Hmm... She's a perfect match in terms of looks."

"But is this really okay? It gives the impression that Rimuru has dyed his hair and dressed up as a woman to flirt with Subaru Natsuki."

Aki Tomoya couldn't help but make a comment and clicked on the third PV.

"Back to Seventeen" has fairly standard character designs and seems to be a plot-driven work, so it should be quite interesting.

When he clicked on the fourth PV, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Huh...? The female lead is actually Shiina-sensei?"

She was a supporting character in Shirobako, and although she didn't appear much at the time, her real-life fame gave her an ethereal, mysterious girl vibe.

And now, unexpectedly, Musashino will produce an anime with her as the female lead.
