"Huh...?" Sanzenin Nagi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Upon hearing what Masamune said, Doma Umaru also eagerly joined in.

"So many blessings: harmony in the family brings prosperity, unspoken understanding, vibrant colors..."

"Many things that seem useless at first glance are actually quite useful."

After Masamune stood up, he stood on the empty space next to the tea table and made a suggestion:

"Umaru, splash me with the tea on the table."

"??Why?"

"It's just proof."

"Ok."

Doma hesitated for a moment, then picked up the black tea he had only taken a few sips of and made as if to spill it.

Suddenly, the window made a strange noise.

"It's okay, go ahead and splash it."

"...good."

The moment the tea was spilled, a sudden gust of wind swept in from outside, breaking through the window and changing the direction of the spilled tea.

"ah!!"

Because of the sudden strong wind, Doma Umaru and Sanzenin Nagi's hair were blown out of shape.

When I came to my senses, the fierce wind from before seemed like a dream.

Turning around, I saw that Masamune was completely unharmed, without a drop of tea on him.

"What is this? A passive skill? What superpower's effect is this?" Sanzenin Nagi asked excitedly.

"Secondly, harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things."

"Hmm... let me see."

Sanzenin Nagi glanced down at the skill list on her phone screen. The second skill, "Harmony Brings Prosperity," was described as: "The luck of all close relatives will always remain above a certain limit."

"This skill description is too vague. How wide is its scope in real life?"

"Horizontally, it should include parents, myself, and my partner. Vertically, for example, if you draw lots from the numbers 1 to 100, you might draw 70 or 99, but no matter how you draw, it will never be lower than 60."

"If luck is out of 100, and you only have 60, you probably couldn't have done what you did just now, right? A sudden gust of wind, just to avoid getting splashed with tea, and this is indoors."

"You underestimate the word 'constancy'."

Is it constant?

Sanzenin Nagi seemed to be deep in thought, noting that ordinary people's luck often fluctuates.

When you're unlucky, you might accidentally step in dog poop or have bird poop fall on your face.

But if you're lucky, a vase might fall from the sky behind you, only two centimeters away; or an out-of-control car might speed past you unharmed.

If luck is constant, you'll be able to avoid unexpected events when they happen.

"Sorry, I still don't understand. Given what just happened, where did that gust of wind come from? Did Umaru deliberately splash it? It wasn't an accident."

"It can't be that God deliberately blew a gust of wind outside the window to prevent you from getting splashed with tea."

"The world is so big, and there are so many lucky people, does God have that much free time?"

"Do you know that death is coming?" Masamune pondered. "Perhaps, that's the situation."

"A butterfly effect-like coincidence? I can't understand it, but I must say, your performance just now was brilliant."

Sanzenin Nagi walked to the window, glanced out, and exclaimed in admiration:

"That's really impressive. These specially designed bulletproof windows can even withstand the impact of a grenade, but they were damaged by that gust of wind just now."

"In terms of energy level, the wind just now wasn't very strong."

"Is this what superpowers are?"

“That’s right, that’s a superpower.” Masamune nodded slightly.

"Let's try this color-changing ability too, I want to see!"

"can."

With a slight thought, Masamune's hair and eyebrows turned from black to snow-white in an instant.

The excitement in Sanzenin Nagi's eyes grew stronger, and she reached out to touch Masamune's hair.

"This texture is completely different from wigs. Unlike the gray hair of the elderly, it has a bright color. No wonder your Musashino voice actors' cosplays are all so similar."

"Amazing! If only the animation industry could be evaluated, the world would have been in an uproar long ago."

“Looking around the world, there are many people who have received awards, but they all seem to be relatively low-key and do not make a big fuss about it.”

"No, you can't say that. You should say their abilities are so useless that they have almost no impact on their lives."

"That's why I misjudged the impact of superpowers on the world."

"You have more than a dozen superpowers in total, right? They may not seem very useful, but when there are many of them, they can be quite powerful when combined."

"When I wear glasses, my mind becomes sharper, the city's crime rate decreases, my body is enhanced, I can see through weaknesses, and I can ignore the weather and snow... Amazing, it even has the skill of gaining destiny in the next life."

"So reincarnation really exists? If I can guarantee that I'll have those memories in the next life, that would be interesting."

"The people Grandpa sent to investigate said that the reward was nothing special; anything that superpowers can do, technology can also do."

"Hmph...those people are really useless."

At this point, Sanzenin Nagi gently pinched Masamune's arm, then poked the hard muscles under his clothes with her fingers, and asked with a smile:

"Masamune-kun, it won't be long before you become a non-human monster, will it? No, you already are a monster in all your right."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Masamune looked at her speechlessly.

"Wow, you're doing something really fun! Count me in!"

"I've come to invite you, haven't I?"

"That's not enough. I want to be a shareholder, not just a voice actor. I want my name added to every anime I make."

Do you think this is possible?

“I can add money. But you don’t seem to be short of money, let me think… what else do you need?”

“It’s not a matter of what we lack.” Masamune shook his head slightly. “We have conducted relevant experiments in this regard. We created a position, but it was just a nominal one. People did nothing in reality and could not possibly receive any rewards.”

"To receive a reward, you must contribute to the animation production process."

"The more effort you put in, the better the reward."

"Music, animation, special effects, or even just running around coordinating the various aspects."

"If you only do something trivial, even if you hold a high position in the company, the reward will be very ordinary."

"If you put your name on the list but actually only offer some suggestions during the animation production, even if the animation is rated 4 stars, the reward will most likely just be some everyday items."

Sanzenin Nagi hesitated, then asked in surprise:

"In other words, if I want to gain powerful abilities, I have to get involved, do more work, and ensure the animation rating is above 3 stars?"

"If you want superpowers, you need to get at least a 3-star rating."

"Voice actors only do voice acting, so why are they singled out as rewards?"

"No, voice actors are included in the production staff. The people listed separately are not the voice actors, but the people who provided the stories. If their personal experiences and names are the same as those of the people in the stories, they will be listed separately and receive a reward."

"I see. So, if I want to gain superpowers, I have to start a company, or join your company, actually go to work, and work hard from dawn till dusk."

"That's it."

"...never mind then."

Although she was extremely excited and desperately wanted superpowers, she lost out on her work.

Upon seeing this, Masamune couldn't help but laugh.

"So, I'm just here to invite you to be a voice actor."

"After signing the contract, you will become a part-time voice actor for Musashino. You can try out any role that suits you."

"The female lead with the most screen time gets a better reward, but as long as the animation rating is high enough, the supporting characters with less screen time can also get a pretty good reward."

"You should understand what I mean by saying this, right?"

“I understand.” Sanzenin Nagi nodded slightly.

The female supporting character in a 4-star animation will definitely receive better rewards than the female lead in a 3-star animation.

"Starting your own company is exhausting, and all you get in return is a reward. Becoming a voice actor is also a reward."

Masamune paused, then said again:

"Compared to animation production, which can take several months, voice acting is much simpler."

"Training takes about half a month and can be done at home, three to five hours a day is enough."

"For dubbing, it only takes three to five hours per episode."

"Compared to other positions in the animation company, this is already much easier."

This is true.

Seeing that she nodded almost imperceptibly, Masamune pressed his advantage:

"Moreover, part-time voice actors and full-time voice actors are different."

"Besides the roles we've prepared for you, you can try out any work you'd like to take. If you don't want to take any, you can stay home and arrange your time freely."

Feeling the elbow at his waist, Doma knew it was time for him to speak again.

"I'm also a part-time voice actor, so my schedule is indeed very flexible."

"To be honest, it feels like playing a game."

"You are free to try any mission you want."

"No need to clock in or out, no fixed attendance required, you can go to the company whenever you want."
