"Mr. Sanzenin, now that your daughter has awakened, she can be discharged after two more days of observation. However, her condition is not optimistic..."

"Thank you, I understand."

Emperor Sanzenin sighed deeply.

This moment is exactly the same as that moment ten years ago.

However, ten years ago, Zi Zi did not wake up so quickly, and her energy and spirit were not very good afterward. She relied entirely on medication to prolong her life.

Chapter 395 The Last Straw

Inside the ward, several people sat around Sanzenin Murasaki.

"Miss Murasaki, did something happen last night? How did it suddenly get so serious?"

"Last night, I wanted to get up to pour myself a glass of water, but I suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness."

Sanzenin Murasaki paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"It didn't suddenly get worse; I've actually had these symptoms for a while now."

"I'm sorry, Masamune-kun, I can no longer do the voice acting I promised you."

"However, there are no problems with Nagi."

"Please don't worry about it." Masamune shook his head slightly. "Any character other than the female lead is highly replaceable."

"How heartless! Such a statement is practically like saying, 'It doesn't matter if you die.'"

"Please don't joke about death. Neither I nor anyone else is in the mood for laughter in a hospital room."

"...Sorry, I just wanted to lighten the mood."

With a faint smile on her face, Sanzenin Murasaki gently ruffled her tear-filled daughter's hair and asked in a good mood:

"What does Masamune-kun believe is the meaning of life?"

"A discussion about life?"

Masamune looked surprised, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"I believe the meaning of life lies in both the process and the result."

"So, in Masamune's opinion, which is more important, the process or the result?"

"Equally important. Focusing only on the process can lead you astray, while focusing only on the result can easily lead to failure."

"Masamune-kun is truly greedy. Compared to you, I don't want as much. I can accept both failure and success."

Masamune remained silent, subtly telling himself that there was no need to bother saving her.

Did she not care much about her impending death?

"Compared to ten years ago, current medical technology has not undergone any qualitative change."

Given your physical condition, you'll be at your limit if you can last another six months. Even with countless expensive medications and the best efforts to prolong your life, you can only last another month or two at most.

There's no way they can catch up to the evaluation of Cyclone Butler.

Therefore, the assessment of the dragon and tiger represents the greatest opportunity.

For animations not created by the creators themselves, personal participation is required to receive rewards.

Voice acting is the most suitable for you.

We can separate all of Takasu Yasuko's scenes and do the voice acting in advance, so your voice acting work should be concentrated within the next month.

And for the remaining four months, even if I can only lie in a hospital bed and wait, it doesn't matter.

Based on the evaluation results after the animation airs, I'm confident you'll receive a reward that promotes good health.

After all, heaven certainly wouldn't let the voice actress for an important female character in an anime suddenly die after the evaluation is over.

Sanzenin Murasaki stared blankly at Masamune, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Does Masamune-kun like me? I'm very sorry, I don't like people younger than me, and besides, I already have someone I love."

"You're overthinking it. I don't like widows with daughters either."

"That's going too far, Masamune-kun. At least call her 'elder sister,' right?"

"If you need to. However, that's not what we're talking about, so please don't change the subject."

“Even if you say that…” Sanzenin Murasaki smiled and winked, “at least let me know your motives, okay? Even if you have feelings for Nagi, I can accept it.”

"Why do you have to bring up romance?" Masamune looked at her speechlessly. "Can't it just be that I enjoy helping others?"

“Oh…? It doesn’t seem like it. I’ve seen the family’s information about you. You’ve been unusually aloof since childhood, as if you’re separated from everyone around you by a glass door.”

While observing Masamune's expression, Shiko Sanzenin said:

"After graduating from high school, I started working. The glass door became a screen window. I seemed to get along well with many people, but in reality, there was still a thin layer of mist between us."

"According to the detective, you subconsciously categorize people into different classes based on their relationship with you, and you treat them differently without realizing it."

"To you, we should just be strangers who only have some financial dealings and don't need to be too close, right?"

"Even if I die, it probably won't matter to you, right? It doesn't seem like you care about Nagi and love everything about her."

The detective is amazing!

Masamune remained silent. If he could investigate others, others could certainly investigate him as well.

It must be said that the analysis is quite accurate, but it's also a little off.

"The purpose is completely irrelevant, isn't it?"

“No, the reason is very important.” Sanzenin Murasaki had stopped smiling and looked at Masamune seriously. “If I can’t figure out your purpose, I can’t put my mind at ease.”

"I've been wondering if you're hiding some malice, what your purpose is, and what kind of outcome you want."

Masamune sighed helplessly. He hesitated, then felt Umaru grasp his right hand and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, I'll just get straight to the point."

"Well... there's really nothing to hide, it's just that nobody would believe it if I told them."

"If I said that I can see fragments of the past and future in my dreams, you might believe me, or you might think it's just an excuse."

"However, dialogue can only proceed if we consider this as a fact."

"And then?" Sanzenin Murasaki smiled, her face full of curiosity. "What I'm about to say is the important part, isn't it?"

“That’s right.” Masamune nodded slightly. “After watching the anime, what are your thoughts on the male and female protagonists?”

"Hmm...it's hard to describe," Sanzenin Murasaki said as she thought, "but overall, I'd say I have mostly positive feelings towards her."

"What if the male and female protagonists in the story appeared in real life?"

"It doesn't matter if it's the male lead, but the female lead will probably want to be friends. After all, having read the story, she'll likely have a lot of positive feelings from one side."

"That's it."

"You mean, because you dreamed about our past and future, you have a certain fondness for us?"

"That's pretty much it."

"Isn't there a big gap between fantasy and reality? Animations only show the good side. Wouldn't your illusions be shattered if you actually met the person in the video?"

"a little bit."

Upon noticing Masamune suddenly looking at him, Doma swallowed hard, subconsciously recalling his past and the anime content.

"Take Umaru-chan as an example. Before I actually got to know her, I thought of her as a doll on a shelf. But after I got to know her, she felt like a real school idol."

"You like Umaru?"

Why was this conclusion reached?

"So, do you like it?"

"..."

"Is it that hard to answer? Or are you just shy because the person in question is right next to you?"

"Okay, I do like Umaru quite a bit."

At that moment, Doma's lips unconsciously curled up.

Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Sanzenin Murasaki's face.

(I may have done something unnecessary.)

(No, thank you, Ms. Murasaki.)

Seeing the two suddenly exchange strange glances, Masamune couldn't help but ask:

"Please don't change the subject, Miss Murasaki. If you persevere for just one month, you will be fully recovered."

"Mmm... I'll leave the rest to you."

"it is good."

……

Shortly after leaving the hospital, just as Masamune was about to drive back to Musashino, his phone rang suddenly. The caller ID showed Sanzenin Nagi.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to stop and answer the call.

"What's wrong, Miss Nagi?"

"Don't call me Miss Nagi, call me Little Nagi. Mom has fainted again. The doctor said he can't figure out her condition yet. Could you come again?"

"..."

"Mom was in the same situation just now, but she felt better as soon as you came."

"alright."

Masamune sighed helplessly, exchanged a glance with Umaru, and headed back towards the hospital.

As soon as she entered the ward, Sanzenin Murasaki woke up.

"Miss Murasaki, are you acting like me?"

"I don't know why, but as soon as you left, I suddenly felt a little dizzy."
