Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly asked:

"Wait a minute! Could all these characters in the story actually be real people?"

"Yes, didn't we just say that?"

"The setting is exactly the same as reality, and the names are the same too?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you worried that Yukinoshita's family will cause you trouble? Her family isn't an ordinary family like mine; if they do cause you trouble..."

"It's okay, I'm prepared to face any difficulties."

If the experiment is successful, the real people who inspired the characters will also receive rewards, and then there will definitely be many TV series adapted from real-life stories.

Meanwhile, biographies of contemporary celebrities may also appear one after another.

Conversely, the quality of these kinds of works is likely not very good, and there are fewer competitors in the industry...

On the other hand, posting the information obtained through probing on Twitter can increase Musashino's fame, thereby indirectly increasing the anime's popularity.

No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.

In contrast, the hostility of the parties involved is nothing at all.

"Alright, alright..." Hachiman Hikigaya smiled helplessly, "It seems I have no choice but to accompany you, even though I didn't really have any other options to begin with."

In early August 2014, shortly after the start of summer vacation, Hachiman Hikigaya was suddenly forced into the world of light novels and received a "huge sum" of five million yen.

Chapter 49 You May Have Some Misunderstanding About Me

In late August, the dubbing work for both animations was proceeding as scheduled.

In the recording studio of an audio company that collaborates with Musashino, Karasuma Chitose stares blankly at the faces of everyone in the room.

The room was full of voice actors, whom I had greeted beforehand. Among them was my older brother, who voiced Hachiman Hikigaya, so they weren't exactly strangers.

The remaining ones include popular voice actors from other agencies, as well as rookies from their own agencies.

Even among peers in the same agency, the most they might do is greet each other and exchange some social pleasantries; calling them friends is a stretch.

This is the only film in which I played a supporting role. Although I have a name and a fair number of lines, I am ultimately just a supporting character.

Can this be considered a debut? It feels like it's not quite there yet; at best, it's just something that sounds good to say.

Compared to himself, his brother, who had already played the lead role in several "trash" works, was gradually gaining fame and even got the lead role of Hachiman Hikigaya, which was a perfect start.

Lost in all sorts of thoughts, the recording session ended before I knew it.

"Thank you all for your hard work. That's all for today. Please continue to work hard tomorrow and the day after."

That's right, this is already episode 11.

Originally planned as a 12-episode series, but due to ample time, a 13th episode was added as a bonus. With one day dedicated to dubbing each episode, it will be completely finished in two more days.

After that, having only voiced one named character, "Miura Yumiko," I will become a newcomer who only gets voice acting jobs for minor roles.

This terrible situation is hardly a good one.

"President, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing her brother's voice, Karasuma Chitose immediately looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Isn't the opportunity here?

"I accompanied Mashiro to visit the dubbing studio, and I also brought Hachiman Hikigaya here to find some creative inspiration."

? ? Hikigaya Hachiman?

Karasuma Chitose's eyes widened instantly, staring in astonishment at a male high school student holding paper and pen beside Masamune.

Dead fish eyes, sportswear, and that unique aura—it's exactly the same as what I saw in the storyboard earlier.

Is this work also adapted from a live-action story?

"Wujing, let me introduce you. This is Hachiman Hikigaya, the male protagonist of 'Oregairu'," Masamune said with a smile.

"Hello, I am the character you just voiced, Hachiman Hikigaya." Hachiman Hikigaya nodded slightly, and at the same time, looked up at Gojo Karasuma with curiosity. "You did a very good job just now. Although our voices are not quite the same, it really gave a feeling of being there."

"Thank you so much!"

Karasuma Gosho bowed slightly, then stood up and asked curiously:

"President, since there is a real person who plays Hachiman Hikigaya, why didn't you just ask him to do the voice acting? The effect would have been much better that way."

"There are many reasons, but as things stand, Hachiman accepted my commission and is busy adapting Oregairu into a light novel, so he doesn't have time for voice acting."

"Huh...? So the inspiration the president was talking about earlier was referring to light novels?"

The world is truly strange. It's bizarre that the protagonist himself agreed to write a light novel with himself as the main character.

Karasuma Gosho suppressed the urge to retort and instead asked:

"I noticed Shiina-sensei was drawing the whole time. Was she drawing a scene from the recording studio?"

"Want to take a look?"

Mashiro flipped the drawing board in his arms, and the painting on the paper surprised Hachiman Hikigaya.

"What a beautiful drawing! Is this going to be adapted into a manga?"

“I might have such plans in the future, but for now…” Masamune paused deliberately, a smile on his face, “Mashiro is just helping you with illustrations.”

"Huh...!? I haven't even finished writing yet."

"Having the illustrations first doesn't affect anything."

"But... with such beautiful illustrations, what kind of light novel should I write to match them?"

"Show the same confidence you have when you write government reports, and I'm sure that won't be a problem for you."

"Don't suddenly and casually expose someone's dark history."

“Everyone present here is involved and knows a lot about the plot of Oregairu. Your dark history has already been exposed.”

"Uh... I feel like I've become both an accomplice and a victim of the villainous big boss. How did my life suddenly turn out like this?"

At this moment, Hachiman Hikigaya inexplicably felt a sense of resignation and giving up.

"Ha ha……"

Masamune chuckled softly for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Karasuma Chitose, who seemed to have something to say, and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? Chitose."

"President, do you think there's anything I'm lacking as a voice actor right now?"

That's right, this was a battle strategy that Karasuma Chitose suddenly came up with.

If the other party gives a positive response, then take the opportunity to ask for more work.

Conversely, if the response is negative, you can use the excuse of needing more exercise to request more work.

"Wujing, what do you think?" Zhengzong did not reply.

"I think Chitose is too free-spirited and lacks discipline. If she were paired with a serious manager, it would be much better."

Karasuma Gosho changed the subject and said again:

"However, she is currently a senior in high school and has two semesters left before graduation. It is not appropriate for her to take on too much work before graduating from high school."

"At the same time, she has not yet graduated from the voice acting training school, and her acting skills and abilities are very limited. At most, she can only be a character actor."

Karasuma Chitose's eyes widened instantly, and he glared at him angrily.

You, Wujingjun, actually spoke ill of me to my face! So that's the real reason why I haven't been able to get a good job.

You just wait! When I get home today, I'm going to tell my mom that you bullied me at work because you think you're a senior colleague.

Thinking of this, Karasuma Chitose secretly made a face.

click!

The sound of a camera shutter from the side startled Karasuma Chitose, who hurriedly turned her head and saw Masamune holding a mobile phone. She couldn't help but suppress the urge to curse and instead put on a sweet smile.

"President, what are you doing?"

click!

Masamune took another picture, while making a completely indifferent expression:

"When I was chatting with Mashiro before, she said she didn't know what a girl with a devilish personality looked like, or how to draw an expression with a hint of mischief or a flirtatious manner. Thank you for providing the material."

Seeing this, Karasuma Chitose stopped pretending, put away his smile, and said expressionlessly:

"President, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all. All I know is that if you don't delete the photos, something very serious will happen."

"what's up?"

"I will call you day and night to harass you, and I will talk badly about you to the people around me. If you get a girlfriend in the future, I will Photoshop some pictures of you cheating and send them to her. In addition, the current video face-swapping technology is also amazing."

Masamune took out his phone again and deleted the photos in front of her.

"Sorry, I was just kidding."

"Hehehe... I was just kidding."

Masamune smiled and shook his head, then turned to Mashiro and said with a smile:

"The Bluebeard you drew last night wasn't evil at all. Have you gotten into the groove now?"

That's right, it's Bluebeard.

Although Mashiro is currently serializing the Fifth Holy Grail War manga, Masamune would also tell her information and stories about other Heroic Spirits in his spare time to help her expand her resource library.

"We found a little bit," Mashiro said softly.

"President... what kind of image do you have of me?" Karasuma Chitose stared intently at Masamune. "How could you compare such a cute and beautiful girl like me to the infamous Bluebeard? You don't actually want me to make you those harassing phone calls, do you?"

"I'm a little surprised that you know about Bluebeard."

"Don't treat people like idiots; my grades are excellent."

"As an apology, would you like to have dinner together? It's on me, and we can talk about some work-related matters."

"President, I'm not buying it. The psychological trauma you just caused me can't be repaired in a meal or two."
