My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

"By the way, when are you going to give me the manuscript for your fifth volume? According to your description in the previous volume, Saber's true identity should be revealed by now, right?"

"That's right, I'll give it to you in a couple of days."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. Volume 5 was definitely the climax of the plot. It was the appearance of Saber's identity, the identity that countless readers had been waiting for, and there was also a super important point.

It was the great battle between Hercules and Gilgamesh, and the death of Illya...

If this plot were written out, the internet would undoubtedly explode, but Dongfang Bai has no intention of changing it.

Because Illya's death is indeed a very important point, and the character herself has a tragic element, it also changes the protagonist Shirou Emiya's thinking.

Therefore, Dongfang Bai does not allow himself to drastically alter the plot here.

[PS: I'm just as sleepy as the main character today.]

Actually, Dongfang Bai had a bit of personal motives. He also really liked the character Illya. When he watched Fate, Illya's death completely stunned him. He felt that he shouldn't be the only one to suffer such pain.

So one of the reasons for writing Fate here is to let readers in this parallel universe feel how much they wanted to strangle the author back then.

"That's enough, Group Seven is coming in."

Dongfang Bai realized it was time for the seventh group to come in for interviews, so he sat up straight and waited with a smile for the last group of interviewees to enter.

Six women entered the room. This group consisted entirely of girls, with not a single man among them. This meant that the candidate for Gilgamesh was probably out of the question. Kagurazaka Ayame sighed slightly.

"Welcome, I am Yakumo Shiro, the interviewer for this interview. Nice to meet you."

Dongfang Bai put his hands together, elbows on the table, and smiled at the six women in front of him. His handsome appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention, but only one person was dumbfounded.

"...Huh?! No way..."

Aoyama Nanami couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Why is this person who looks so much like the scumbag here? And he just called me 'Yakumo Shiro'?"

No way, he's Yakumo Shiro, the author of "Fate"? That young genius light novelist who sold millions of copies?!

And he's even the interviewer for this interview! What a coincidence! I've run into him several times already, this is the fourth time, isn't it?!

It just goes to show how small Japan is; I managed to run into it four times in six months...

"Cough cough."

Kana Yuta, who was in front, coughed lightly twice, signaling Aoyama Nanami to calm down. She had been so surprised that she had blurted out without thinking.

"Pfft, look at her like that..."

"So, it's from Osaka."

"She must be swooning over how handsome Mr. Yakumo is."

The people in front of her secretly mocked the astonished Aoyama Nanami, making her lower her head in self-consciousness. Dongfang Bai made no outward movement, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

If you look closely at Dongfang Bai, who is smiling, you will find a hint of cold light in his narrowed eyes.

"Then, please introduce yourselves first."

Dongfang Bai gestured for the six people in front of him to introduce themselves. The first one to step forward was the freckled woman with wavy hair who had led the bullying of Qingshan Qihai. She looked at Dongfang Bai with a big smile.

"Hello, Mr. Yakumo! I'm Mami Ito from Kokai Office. Nice to meet you!"

The freckled woman with wavy hair even winked at Dongfang Bai. Could it be that there really is such a thing as 'pillow talk' in the voice acting industry? Dongfang Bai frowned slightly, but the movement was so subtle that no one noticed.

Of course, except for Kana and Nayuta beside him.

Then one by one they began to introduce themselves. The last one was Aoyama Nanami. She seemed a little nervous, and Dongfang Bai noticed that her hands were clenched tightly.

Perhaps it was because of the ridicule from those around her that she became so nervous.

"Hello, Yakumo-sensei! My name is Aoyama Nanami. Although I haven't done any formal voice acting before, I will do my best!"

After taking a deep breath, Aoyama Nanami looked at Dongfang Bai seriously. Although she was surprised that Dongfang Bai's true identity was actually 'Yakumo Shiro', she still did not forget her true purpose.

It means participating in this audition to obtain the official qualification for voice acting.

Although she thought it was a bit of a pipe dream, everyone in the industry knew just how popular Fate was, and the announcement of the anime adaptation immediately generated a huge response.

This shows just how captivating this anime is, and the fact that the author is openly recruiting voice actors suggests that becoming a voice actor in this anime could greatly boost one's fame.

So Aoyama Nanami came here this time just to ask for the voice of another character who isn't very popular. Although it's a supporting role, supporting roles are very important in the Fate series.

Why did you choose to participate in this audition?

Dongfang Bai suddenly spoke up and asked a question that stunned everyone. While the others were introducing themselves, Dongfang Bai had only nodded slowly without saying a word.

When it was Aoyama Nanami's turn, Dongfang Bai suddenly asked a question.

"I... I want to become a professional voice actor. Becoming a voice actor is my dream!"

When the word "dream" was uttered, Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow slightly. He had originally thought that she was just like everyone else, only wanting to get a voice acting opportunity, but he didn't expect her to be so determined.

This statement naturally drew ridicule from those around her, because the others in her group were all experienced professional voice actors, while it was too difficult for Aoyama Nanami, an absolute newcomer who had never even tried voice acting, to compete for this qualification with them.

“~I understand. Let’s begin. Ito Mami, right? You’ll start.”

Dongfang Bai looked at the voice actress who had just spoken. She had chosen to voice 'Saber' and after a brief silence, she began her recording. After listening, Dongfang Bai nodded slightly.

Although she has a terrible personality and bullies the weak, she is, after all, a graduate of a voice acting academy and has some talent.

Seeing Dongfang Bai nod (Wang Wang Zhao), Ito Mami was overjoyed. If she really got the Saber qualification, then needless to say, her fame would skyrocket.

Next, the voice actors began to be dubbed one by one. Finally, it was Aoyama Nanami's turn. She chose to voice the supporting character 'Fujimura Taiga,' who is the protagonist's guardian.

Huff...stop...

Aoyama Nanami was clearly still very nervous, and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

"Hahaha~ How about that?! This is the morning seasoning-changing battle! Yeah~"

As expected, it was still a bit of a stretch. Her voice was a little hoarse, probably because she had been practicing for too long, and coupled with extreme nervousness, she couldn't perform well at all.

Moreover, because of this voiceover, the people around her all wore mocking expressions, making her unable to lift her head at all.

"Green mountains and seven seas".

"yes!!!".

Upon hearing Dongfang Bai suddenly call her name, Aoyama Nanami's face turned deathly pale. She could already imagine Dongfang Bai coldly telling her, "Voice acting isn't suitable for you."

However, she really worked hard. She practiced for half the night yesterday for the audition, which caused her voice to become slightly hoarse. Coupled with today's nervousness and being ridiculed...

Aoyama Nanami tightly closed her pale golden eyes, preparing to face the impending storm.

"Relax, don't rush, you just need to do the voice-over."

However, Aoyama Nanami never expected that the other party would choose to comfort him, using an incredibly gentle tone and smile to tell him not to be nervous, to ignore the surrounding environment, and just to do his voice acting well.

"I...I understand!"

For some reason, Aoyama Nanami's tense muscles suddenly began to relax, as if Dongfang Bai's gentle words had a magical power, magically calming her down.

Despite the ridicule from those around her and the nervousness of her first time doing voice acting, Aoyama Nanami ignored it all and focused solely on what Dongfang Bai had said: "Just do a good job with the voice acting."

call……

At this moment, Aoyama Nanami felt as if she were all alone. She took a deep breath, her gaze becoming incredibly serious.

"Hahaha, 667~ How about that?! This is the morning seasoning-changing battle! Yeah~"

This time, it was clearly completely different from before. He perfectly portrayed the somewhat childlike and carefree nature of Fujimura Taiga, and it was very close to the feelings in Dongfang Bai's heart.

"good."

Dongfang Bai nodded. This time, Qingshan Qihai looked delighted, finally performing at her usual level. Only then did she feel relieved and let out a deep breath.

"Tsk."

The freckled woman with wavy hair seemed a little annoyed and clicked her tongue slightly, but Dongfang Bai's next words surprised everyone present.

"Can you voice Saber?"

"Me...me?"

Aoyama Nanami seemed surprised that Dongfang Bai would ask her to voice Saber, who is practically the female lead of the series and currently the most popular character. And the other party actually asked her to voice her!?

"Yes."

Dongfang Bai nodded. He could tell that Aoyama Nanami was a very hardworking person. Just by looking at how many jobs she was working, he could tell that her financial situation was probably not good. But even so, she still thought about her dream of becoming a voice actress.

Dongfang Bai is still very willing to help people who are working hard for their dreams.

"Huh? Can...can I?"

Aoyama Nanami seemed a little insecure. She wasn't sure if her voice would suit Dongfang Bai's taste, and if it didn't, she would embarrass herself...

"Teacher Yakumo, she's not even a newbie yet, so let's not make things difficult for her."

Although the woman with wavy freckles was trying to defend Aoyama Nanami, everyone could hear the mockery in her voice. At that moment, Kana Yuta suddenly tapped the table lightly.

"Now it's Mr. Yakumo's turn to interview Ms. Aoyama. Everyone else, please remain quiet!"

Although Kanayuta is very young and cute, even a year younger than Dongfang Bai, her eyes are extremely cold and frightening. An ordinary person would definitely be scared if glared at by her.

The freckled woman with wavy hair was no exception; she was so frightened by Kana Yuta that she couldn't speak, which made Dongfang Bai feel much better.

"Give it a try."

Dongfang Bai handed Aoyama Nanami a voice-over script, which listed Saber's lines, and asked her to try it out. His gentle tone made Aoyama Nanami blush slightly; this was just too gentle...

He's just like those male protagonists in anime. Is he that gentle to every girl?

If Sagiri were here right now, she would definitely be furious and accuse Dongfang Bai of being the protagonist of a light novel, because this guy has relationships with too many girls.

cough cough...

Aoyama Nanami cleared her throat slightly. From the moment she first arrived in this big city, she had been working hard to learn the skills of a voice actress, practicing every night. She put in even more effort than many voice actors.

This is the moment for her to prove herself.
