I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"It's just that even though I have this obstacle, I still want to meet other people. I can only get some energy by meeting and chatting with others, otherwise I will be exhausted."

"Like flowers?" asked Uehara.

Ueda Reina laughed at herself and said, "Maybe it's just a weak blade of grass?"

"So...Uehara-kun..."

"Then let's meet every week. I'm free in a couple of days. Do you want to go to a concert together in the evening?" Toru Uehara suggested.

“……” Ueda Reina was silent for a while.

Uehara Toru looked at Ueda Rena and asked, "How is it?"

Reina Ueda was still looking at him with her face turned sideways, but now there were many more things in her eyes that were not there before.

"Sure, I'm curious too," she replied.

"That's fine. I'll contact you then and help you buy the ticket in advance."

"Thank you, Toru-kun." Ueda Rena suddenly changed her address.

“……?” When Uehara Toru heard this name, he surprisingly didn’t find it difficult to accept.

It felt artificial when Sakura yelled.

But Ueda...

But I think it's okay.

"Tetsu-kun."

"From now on, just call me Reina," said Reina Ueda.

“……” Toru Uehara was silent for a while, then nodded.

At this moment, the violin's melody was passionate, pushing the music to the top, as if the notes were given life, they jumped out of the instrument and floated into the night sky. They condensed into bright stars in the night sky, embellishing the deep blue sky.

Among the stars, there are two notes that seem to be attracted by some mysterious force. They merge with each other, emitting a light that is brighter than the surrounding stars. They are like the brightest twin stars in the night sky, guiding the viewer's gaze and telling of silent harmony and beauty.

"Okay, Rena."

In the corner where the light could not reach, a faint blush appeared on Ueda Rena's cheeks. The slightly warm blush was more gentle and touching than the clouds under the setting sun in the sky.

But he couldn't see it.

Volume 1: Chapter 79 You came at the right time

"Speaking of which, the last time we saw your live broadcast, you ran 21.3 kilometers, right?"

Toru Uehara nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Toyonaga Toshiyuki who was recording the broadcast with him.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"After that, you still keep exercising, right? How many times a week do you run?"

Uehara replied: "Four times, each time I ran a half marathon distance."

"Wow--"

"That's amazing. Let's make a bet. Our animation "Run with the Wind" has now aired its eighth episode, and the topic of discussion has ranked tenth among the animations of the season. If it can make it into the top five..."

"How about you just run a real half marathon?"

"Senior, shouldn't the bet fall on you?" Toru Uehara said with a hint of joking.

Toyonaga Toshiyuki seemed a little nervous: "Well... my situation is the same as Haiji, I have some old injuries on my legs..."

Uehara Toru then added: "According to our agreement just now, if "Run with the Wind" can really enter the top five in terms of topic discussion, I will lead Toyonaga-senpai and another senior to participate in the upcoming half marathon."

"Then it's settled."

"Wait, Uehara, calm down first!!"

The broadcast was then cut off.

This seemingly unexpected episode was actually a pre-arranged script. The conversation between Uehara Toru and Toyonaga Toshiyuki just now was all decided in advance.

Although animations like Run with the Wind are relatively niche, thanks to Toru Uehara's previous live broadcast, they are now very popular, and the official naturally wants to seize this opportunity. So, they planned an event to let male voice actors cosplay as characters and actually run a half marathon, and planned to film it into a program.

Toru Uehara didn't expect that these seniors would actually agree to participate. The half marathon is definitely a big challenge for people who don't run often.

"Is it really okay, Senior?"

Toyonaga Toshiyuki smiled and said, "Even if there are problems, I have to say that there are no problems. The main reason is that you are so inspiring. Whether it is dubbing or private training, you are so outstanding."

"The juniors are working so hard, we can't just stand by and watch, right?"

Uehara Toru: "Then I will lead everyone to run together and make sure everyone is okay."

"No, it will be a formal competition then, just give it your all and don't worry about us."

"You are Zang Yuanzou, aren't you?"

Toyonaga Toshiyuki patted Uehara Toru on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Uehara Toru sighed silently in his heart, if that's the case, then I am both Hikigaya Hachiman and Kuranara.

After finishing work on Run with the Wind, he immediately headed to the next recording location. Today's task was to record the radio drama and commentary tracks for Oregairu.

The commentary track is actually where everyone makes comments freely while watching the animation, without any restrictions, and it is considered the easiest job.

When he walked into the recording studio, the first person he saw was Saori Hayami who was reading a book and Nana Toyama who was replenishing her energy.

As soon as Uehara Tetsu entered the room, the two looked up and smiled at him, "Good afternoon, Uehara-kun."

Uehara Toru nodded and smiled back.

The difference between radio dramas and animation recordings is that radio dramas pay more attention to details, contain more details of the dialogues between the protagonists, and also supplement the main storyline.

The current "Oregairu" novel has not yet been completed. Although the production of the first season has just been completed, the official has confirmed that it will continue until the novel is completed.

So this unexpected thing is like a long-term meal ticket.

The recording process of the radio drama went very smoothly, and there were almost no mistakes in the cooperation with Sister Saori and Nana Toyama. Even if there were occasional small mistakes, the three of them maintained a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

After recording the radio drama, they immediately started recording the commentary track. This time they were going to discuss episodes 3 to 6 of the anime, with the core content being the conflict between Hachiman Hikigaya and Yuigahama Yui.

It's said to be a contradiction, but in fact it's more like the two of them are angry with each other. In the process of watching, it is inevitable to discuss your views on the characters and this plot.

Nana Toyama looked at Toru Uehara with curiosity and asked, "What does Uehara-kun think of the relationship between these two people? If it were you, how would you solve this problem?"

Uehara Toru stared at the screen and said calmly, "Obviously, it's Yui's fault. But I can't agree with Hachiman's character either. If it were me, I wouldn't have become friends with Yui from the beginning."

"Eh hey hey?? Am I that unlikable?" Nana Toyama immediately reacted exaggeratedly.

Hayami Saori coughed lightly and reminded: "The role is the role, the voice actor is the voice actor, don't confuse the two."

"But, Uehara-kun, why do you dislike Yui so much? What about Yukinoshita Yukino? Do you like her?"

"I don't like it." Uehara Toru commented mercilessly. "Neither of these two roles is within my consideration. If Yukinoshita's sharp tongue is used on me, then it's basically over."

"Who gave her the courage to talk to me like that?" Uehara Toru said the truth while exaggerating his emotions in a cold and arrogant tone.

This has become his iconic character in the voice actor industry, and he uses this character to make comments whether it is to Sakura or here.

Although his personality is similar in person, it is more exaggerated in the radio program.

Nana Touyama chuckled and said, "Then let's get back to the topic just now. Suppose you encounter the same dilemma as Hachiman, how would you solve it?"

Uehara Tetsu looked at Hachiman who was sulking alone in the picture, chuckled and said, "It's very simple, I can just quit the club. Anyway, I have already left this kind of club a long time ago..."

"Stop!!!" Hayami Saori interrupted him quickly and quickly changed the subject. She looked at Uehara Toru with a reproachful look and complained helplessly: "Uehara-kun, you are always so sharp. I am really worried about your future programs."

Nana Toyama looked at Toru Uehara's mischievous smile and her mood became cheerful.

"No matter what, the characters are characters and the voice actors are voice actors, please remember this." The time for the commentary track passed quickly. After all, they were just sitting together watching anime. If the content of the chat was not too controversial, and just praised the heroine for being cute or the hero for being handsome, it would sound like a lullaby.

After the recording session, Uehara Toru walked out of the studio with the other two. Hayami Saori said with emotion, "Uehara-kun, you are always so sharp in your broadcasts and commentary tracks. I am worried about your future programs."

"Promise me you'll be a little more restrained, okay?"

Uehara Toru smiled and replied, "It's just character settings."

"But those are your true words, right?" Hayami Saori pretended to be angry and said, "I didn't expect that you, as the voice actor of the male protagonist, actually don't like the female protagonist..."

Nana Toyama stood next to them and asked curiously, "Does Uehara-kun have a female character he really likes?"

Uehara Toru pondered for a moment and finally gave an answer: "The only person I like should be Hiratsuka Shizuka."

"Hey! So you like older women?" Nana Toyama was surprised.

When Hayami Saori heard this, her expression looked a little subtle.

"It's not about age, but in this anime, she's the only one who truly helps the protagonist, right?"

"Although I am curious about her motivation, whether she does these things purely as a teacher or an elder, but no matter which one it is, I think I can understand her."

Uehara Toru thought of this and smiled slightly: "My current achievements are inseparable from the help of many seniors, so naturally I like her."

Hearing this, Hayami Saori nodded with satisfaction: "Uehara-kun, don't forget, if you have time, remember to come to my house as a guest, and the same goes for Toyama-san."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay." Nana Toyama was a little flattered.

"Well, I still have work to do in the afternoon, so I'll leave first. Thank you all for your hard work." After saying this, Hayami Saori slowly left.

Watching Hayami Saori's back gradually disappearing into the distance, Toyama Nana looked up at Uehara Toru and said with a smile, "It's just the two of us left again, Uehara-kun."

Toru Uehara nodded. Today's work was over. He had free time in the afternoon. He would go to the concert hall in advance to check it out and buy tickets.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just want to continue our previous topic. Who do you think will win the hero's heart in the end, Yui or Yukino?"

Uehara Toru looked at her with a hint of amusement: "Have you finished reading the nine volumes of the novel that have been published so far?"

Nana Toyama blinked: "Well, well... I will definitely make it up to you later. I've been a little busy lately."

Uehara Toru didn't mean to blame her, he was just stating the facts: "I've finished watching it, so there's a 99% chance that Yukino wins. But from the current plot, you should be able to see that the male protagonist and Yui don't have much in common."

"Ah..." Nana Toyama covered her chest and pretended to be hurt.

Uehara Toru smiled and asked, "Why do you care so much about this? Didn't Hayami-senpai just say that the role and the voice actor should be viewed separately?"

"But everyone says that my personality is very similar to Yui's, and I feel like there's something wrong with me too..."

"That similarity is only superficial. In fact, you are much more mature than Yuigahama Yui when dealing with this matter. You have thanked me many times, even if it was just a trivial thing."

"So, that means you like me more than Yui, Uehara-kun?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became stiff.

Nana Touyama was stunned for a moment, then her face quickly flushed. She quickly waved her hands and explained: "Uehara-kun, that's not what I meant."

Uehara Toru just smiled and said, "I said, I only like Hiratsuka Shizuka."

"Uh-huh……"

After accidentally saying something wrong just now, Nana Toyama sensitively noticed that Toru Uehara seemed to be intentionally keeping a distance from her. This subtle interaction made her think of galgame.

Although she herself is not involved in this type of game, she once voiced a female protagonist in the work "God Knows" when she debuted as a voice actor. This character is exactly the object of pursuit of the male protagonist. And the male protagonist who calls himself God has already explained the essence and concept of galgame very clearly.

She followed in Uehara Toru's footsteps and walked down the stairs step by step. With every step, she seemed to experience the tug-of-war and psychological game between the characters in the game.

She always had a subtle feeling that the other party's attitude had changed significantly since he learned that she was 24 years old and in the same industry.

Unlike when they first met, Uehara Toru was much more relaxed.

Is it wariness or disgust towards adult women?

But this is not the case with Hayami-senpai. Is it really my own problem?

Nana was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't pay attention to the road under her feet, and accidentally stepped on empty air. She instinctively reached out to grab the handrail next to her, but everything happened too fast and she still couldn't prevent the accident.

With a scream, she first sat down heavily on the steps, and then her ankle twisted uncomfortably.

Toru Uehara, who was walking in front, heard the sudden noise and couldn't help but turn around to check.

What he saw was the embarrassing scene of Nana Toyama's skirt being slightly messy. Her cheeks instantly turned red and she quickly reached out to straighten her skirt.

Toru Uehara was slightly stunned, but quickly regained his composure and sighed softly.

Then he walked towards Nana Toyama, gently extended his hand, and helped her up from the ground.

"Sometimes, I really feel like you're still like a high school student. It was like this last time, and it's like this time too." Toru Uehara said while shaking his head.
