"But this raises a new question. It's understandable that King Arthur was a woman, since there are legends of female Arthur."

"Joan of Arc goes without saying; she is a rare female hero in history."

"But Nero, no matter what historical records you find, there is no evidence that he was a woman."

"So, I want to go to Italy to see if the locals know more."

"Moreover, if you go to Italy, you might dream of Nero even more, which would make the story even more interesting."

Masamune stared at her blankly, thinking to himself:

So that's what Umaru thought about all this. Even though her starting point was wrong, her intentions are very precious.

Moreover, Nero in his previous life was indeed male.

But in this world, Nero is probably just that noisy idiot who likes to sing but has no self-awareness.

"Alright, let's go to Italy together then. While we're at it, let's investigate whether Nero in history was actually a woman."

"I think there might be an error in the historical records, or perhaps later generations have revised the history."

"You trust me way too much, don't you?" Masamune chuckled. "But we can't rule out the possibility that I'm just overthinking things."

"I'm willing to believe whatever you say."

Seeing the light in Doma Umaru's eyes, Masamune felt his heart race for no apparent reason.

Oh no, I've been flirted with, and I'm a homebody who's not really interested in dating at all.

This kind of heart-fluttering feeling isn't bad, but it's accompanied by a vague sense of guilt about cheating.

No, don't overthink it; it's just casual conversation between friends.

"There are all sorts of opinions online, but basically, most people think that Artoria and Jeanne were drawn based on Grey."

"After all, Grey looks a lot like them. There's a big difference between 2D and 3D faces."

Doma Umaru took out his phone, and while clicking to enter his favorite forums, he said:

“These days, people often say that comics also need promotion, and they hope that Grey will do a Jeanne d'Arc cosplay, preferably one where she stands next to Bluebeard.”

"It will be even more interesting when Nero appears in the manga in a few days."

"However, it's a bit of a shame that the scene of these three characters standing together is impossible."

COS?

Masamune unconsciously thought that Gray's figure and appearance were exactly the same as Artoria's, and that cosplaying her would be the most accurate.

With a different hairstyle and clothes, Joan of Arc could be passable.

But Nero, I always felt, was lacking quite a bit.

"Besides Rome, since you rarely travel abroad, are there any other places you'd like to visit?"

"Then... how about Joan of Arc and King Arthur's hometown? But we might not have enough time."

"European countries are very close to each other. If we go there and stay for a week, it should be about right."

"Okay, a week, um... it might be difficult to take leave."

"Do you need my help?" Masamune asked with a smile.

"No. The school is easy to deal with; I can use a business trip as an excuse. The main problem is my parents. I'll talk to them tonight."

"Contact me anytime if you need help."

"Ah."

Doma Umaru nodded slightly, then another question came to mind:

"By the way, how's Miss Yukiko doing? Can you leave now?"

“Of course,” Masamune said with a smile. “Subsequent experiments have shown that a phone call can completely replace a personal visit, and the two have the same effect. A call every few hours can help stabilize the patient’s condition.”

"Is this what superpowers are all about?"

"That's right, that's the power of metaphysics."

Chapter 397 A Few Pleasures

Early in the morning, Sanzenin Nagi walked unsteadily through the gates of Hakuou Academy.

In the past, I had a lot of freedom every day and could do whatever I wanted.

You can stay in bed in the morning and sleep until noon.

You can play games or watch cartoons until very late at night, and it's okay if you don't sleep all night.

But now, I have to go to bed early and get up early every day, and I also have to go to school.

After school, they also have to undergo dubbing training.

If you say no, your mother will put on a stern face and start lecturing you. After a few sentences, she will cough violently and even vomit blood.

Sanzenin Nagi strongly suspected that she was acting, but she couldn't gamble on whether it was real or not.

Moreover, every time I see her vomiting blood, my heart aches.

However, the thought of going to Musashino for my first anime voice acting session after school that afternoon, with my mother, filled me with anticipation, but also a bit of anxiety and unease about work.

While I was deep in thought, I suddenly heard the chatter of a few girls in my class.

"I've read the Re:Zero novel, but it's too messy to read. I didn't expect the anime to be so interesting. Last night's episodes seven and eight completely changed my opinion of the male protagonist."

"Yes, Rem also became very cute. It's a pity that she disappeared later in the novel."

"There's nothing we can do about it. She's just too attention-grabbing. Emilia, the female lead, is clearly prettier, but she's not as popular as Rem."

"After all, they're not the same artist. The female lead was drawn by Shiina herself."

Hehe... I heard that to avoid all anime characters looking the same and being unable to distinguish between them, and also to make the female lead conform to the public's image of the world's most beautiful woman...

In this anime, Emilia was drawn by Shiina herself; every single line was drawn by her own hand.

For the other characters, she simply drew a template and had others copy it.

In other words, it's entirely a difference in drawing skills.

Sanzenin Nagi curled her lip in disdain. "Spoiler dog, do you think no one has read the original novel? If you're so capable, why don't you spoil the content of the other three anime?"

Moreover, they're talking about things that have been circulating online for a long time, as if everyone has never been online.

"In Pure White, Shiina is a super genius from the moment she appears. Other manga artists are clearly not on the same level as her. Even Eiji Niizuma can only look up to her."

In Bakuman, Shiina is still studying art in England, while Eiji Niizuma has taken over Shiina's script and firmly suppresses the other manga artists.

Now, I'm really looking forward to Shiina's appearance in Pure White. I wonder what expressions Eiji and the others will have then?

"I'm really looking forward to it too, but I guess Shiina won't be able to appear in the first season of the anime?"

"It's such a shame. I wish Shiina could have appeared, even if it was just in the last episode. That would have been so much fun."

Sanzenin Nagi subconsciously thought:

Isn't the main appeal of Bakuman the lives and romances of manga artists? Why is everyone so eager for another manga artist, who is essentially a supporting character, to appear?

However, this plot, which seems to be a cycle of reincarnation, is indeed very dramatic.

On another note, when did these girls become interested in these anime? I thought they only liked reading fashion magazines.

"Sanzenin, have the people from Musashino contacted you?"

Suddenly struck up a conversation by a girl she barely knew, Nagi Sanzenin hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, they contacted me a few days ago."

"I knew it! Since they've all come to me, it's bound to be Sanzenin, right? The anime is called Hayate the Combat Butler, and I heard it's set at Hakuou Academy. I wonder who the female lead is?"

Another girl smiled and struck up a conversation:

"Since it's Hayate the Combat Butler, it must be a story about a young lady and her butler. If we count the girls in the school who are young butlers, the result will be pretty much clear."

"So, does that mean I'm the female lead? I'm going to be on TV?"

Did Musashino ask you to voice the female lead?

"No, they just said they wanted to borrow my name and image, and then they gave me some pocket money."

"Then it seems you're not the female lead. As far as I know, unless the actress herself is too busy, Musashino's live-action adaptations always have the actress herself voice the character."

Seeing the group chatting so enthusiastically, Sanzenin Nagi was filled with surprise.

It seems they haven't read the script.

In fact, these guys are minor characters with little screen time in the story, so there's really no need to show them the script.

Otherwise, there is a risk of the script being leaked in advance.

However, there should be people on campus who have seen the script.

For example, the student council president, Hinagiku Katsura, has quite a few scenes, so she must have read the script.

......

Before I knew it, the morning had flown by.

Shortly after school ended in the afternoon, I was picked up by Musashino and taken to the audio equipment company.

Upon entering the recording studio and seeing many unfamiliar adult women, Sanzenin Nagi felt inexplicably flustered and couldn't help but look around.

Suddenly, everything went black.

At the same time, a deliberately gruff voice came from behind:

"Guess who I am?"

There has never been more than one person who would do such a pointless thing, and who would dare to do it to themselves.

"Mom, stop playing."

"Nagi guessed it right away, tsk... just play along a little."

Looking back at her mother and Maria not far behind her, Nagi Sanzenin unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't consider herself a shy person, but standing among a group of strangers still made her feel somewhat awkward.
