Seeing the outstretched hand, Shimizu Toru was slightly taken aback, then understood the meaning of those words—he had won!
He immediately extended his hand and shook hands with Irino Miyu, his attitude respectful and sincere: "Irino-senpai, you flatter me. It is my honor to audition on the same stage as you, and I have learned a lot from you."
His words came from the heart; Irino Miyu's strength and demeanor are both worthy of respect.
Miyu Irino smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm very confident in entrusting this role to you, and I look forward to hearing your voice in the final cut."
After saying that, he nodded to Daisuke Sakazaki, turned and left. His back was still upright, but he carried a faint sense of the end of an era.
Daisuke Sakazaki nearly jumped up with excitement, barely managing to keep his voice low as he said, "It's done! Shimizu, Roddy is yours! Bones Studio, Director Watanabe! This is a truly important role!"
Shimizu Toru's heartbeat belatedly quickened, and a huge surge of joy and a sense of accomplishment instantly dispelled the previous tension.
He clenched his fist tightly, a bright, undisguised smile spreading across his face: "Yes! It's done!"
On the tram ride home, the setting sun shone through the window onto Qing Shuitou. He took out his phone and saw several unread messages on Line.
[Takamiya Rion: Toru! How did the audition go? Was it super successful? I believe in you! (*^▽^*)]
[Sunset Lily: My dear Dada Yu~ How did it go? No matter the result, I'll make you a big meal to celebrate tonight~]
Looking at the messages from his live-in girlfriends, Shimizu Toru's smile deepened. He quickly replied with a swift typing: "As expected, I've won them over."
The two replied almost instantly. Rion Takamiya exclaimed, "Ahhh!!! I knew it! Toru, you're amazing! What do you want to eat tonight? Barbecue? Seafood feast? My treat!"
Sunset Lily: "Bones! Carol & Tuesday! Oh my god! Tohru, you're amazing! We have to celebrate properly, but we can discuss how to celebrate tonight~"
Looking at the diverse yet equally enthusiastic replies on the screen, Shimizu Toru seemed to already foresee the chaotic scene that would unfold tonight. He sighed helplessly and indulgently, turning his gaze to the fleeting street scenes outside the car window.
Defeating Irino Miyu to win Roddy is undoubtedly an extremely important milestone in his voice acting career.
With the reputation of Bones Studio and the name of Shinichiro Watanabe, the significance of this role was enough to make his name truly stand out in the industry.
"Voice actress Shimizu Toru..." he murmured, his heart filled with anticipation for the future as he murmured the name that would soon be remembered by more people.
This path has finally taken its first solid and dazzling step.
As for the two at home? He rubbed his temples, a smile on his face that he himself didn't even realize was on his face.
"Looks like I need to think of a way to appease them."
No, I have to make a deal with them first. They can only do it once each at most, otherwise they'll really be drained dry. Even the most energetic person can't withstand being squeezed like that.
Touching her kidneys, which were aching slightly from the exertion of the past two days, Shimizu Toru decided to retract her previous assessment of goji berries.
Since our ancestors said it was effective, it must have some therapeutic effect, right? From now on, I'll replace Malva nut with goji berries. Nineteen is the perfect time for health preservation.
Since Rion Takamiya has said that she's treating everyone today, Toru Shimizu won't insist on eating at home.
But seafood is one thing, although the area around Japan is rich in fishery resources, there are bad guys secretly dumping nuclear wastewater into the sea!
Although the first time was officially scheduled for 21, who knows if they had been secretly arranging it for a long time?
Given the dedication and professionalism of counterfeiters in Japan, spanning decades, I really can't trust Shimizu Tomo.
Not only did she not plan to eat it herself, she also forbade Rion Takamiya and Riri Yuhi from eating it either. After all, seafood is not a necessity like rice, so it wouldn't matter if she never ate it for the rest of her life.
In the end, we went to Xuxuyuan, the BBQ restaurant that V-circle recommends. Jin Hanhan had booked a table yesterday, showing more confidence than Shimizu Tomo herself.
—If you didn't get the role, you can always have some barbecue to cheer yourself up.
As for Shimizu Toru wanting to eat something else when the time comes, she can simply cancel the reservation. She's a member of the Xuxuyuan restaurant, so it's not a big deal if she cancels a few times occasionally.
The decor and beef quality at Xuxuyuan are indeed much better than those at Liugexian, and of course, the average price per person is also higher.
Just as he popped a piece of Wagyu beef grilled by Yukihi Lily into his mouth, Takamiya Rion, not to be outdone, put a piece of grilled beef tongue on his plate.
Qingshui Tou, who had been eating non-stop since sitting down, finally couldn't take it anymore: "Stop grilling for me! Are you trying to stuff me to death?!"
Although he has a big appetite, he doesn't have the stomach to eat several pounds of beef by himself. This is the fifth plate already!
Luckily, the portions of meat on each plate weren't too big, otherwise he would have been stuffed to the point of bursting. They were treating him like a spoiled brat.
"www Because you kept refusing to stop, I couldn't help but want to see just how good-tempered you really are."
Lily, in the sunset, revealed a mischievous smile, looking quite quirky: "I thought you'd get angry in the second round, you're so kind~"
"Never mention the word 'gentleman' in front of me! I'm allergic to it!"
What Shimizu Toru hates most are those idiotic male protagonists in Japanese anime who are clearly useless and good for nothing, yet can still run a crystal palace.
When asked why he liked the female leads, he would use all sorts of "Yasahi, ssahi" to describe it, just like praising someone for being honest on a blind date. He had absolutely no redeeming qualities.
He asked Yuhi Lily and Takamiya Rion why they liked him, and their first answer was that he was good-looking.
As it turns out, just like the actor who played Da Chao said, all you have to do to strike up a conversation with a girl is ask her out, the only prerequisite being that your character model has to be at the same level as his.
Those who are obsessed with numbers all think they have amazing skills, just like Shimizu Toru initially thought that the two women were attracted by their talents.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that they were all lustful at first sight.
-----------------------------
I can only manage to finish at least 3 AM tonight; the air conditioner unit next door is so noisy, even with headphones on, it's not working.
I can only change the earbuds once they arrive; I currently owe eight chapters.
Volume 1: Chapter 71 Six days on, one day off? Or one day on, one day off?
In the villa's karaoke room, Shimizu Tou, who had just finished an online Eutpe meeting to discuss lyric allocation, noticed her phone vibrating on the table. She picked it up and saw it was a Line message from Ha Ge.
[Shibuya Hajime: VSPO replied! They agreed to change it to Apex Legends! The time is set for 9 PM tomorrow night, how does that sound?]
Qingshui Tou smiled slightly; finally, there was some good news.
In the past few days, apart from the novelty of his first attempt at recording "Carole & Tuesday" in the studio, he has been exploited by Lily Yuhi and Rion Takamiya in various ways, ostensibly to celebrate his landing of an important role.
Even though he was young and strong, he felt a bit sore in his back and needed some healthy recreational activities to relax.
[Toru Hanyu: OK, it's tomorrow night at 8 PM. Could you please send me the Discord room number, Shibuya-senpai? By the way, who are they on their end?]
[Shibuya Hajime: It seems that Tachibana Hinano and Usagi Mimi even held a solo competition among themselves to compete for the opportunity to collaborate with you, otherwise they would have replied to you already.]
[Toru Hanyu: ......]
What is all this nonsense? Why is it like saying that beautiful women are only meant for the strong?
Shimizu Toru rubbed his temples and replied, "Okay, I understand. Thanks, Shibuya-senpai."
He put down his phone, turned on his computer, and logged into APEX for the first time in a long time.
Although I didn't play much before transmigrating, I still have the basics. Plus, this body is young and has quick reflexes, so getting familiar with the map and hero skills shouldn't be a big problem.
He didn't want to lose face in front of the VSPO group, who were clearly skilled gamers. They were a group of real FPS specialists, although he later started playing Street Fighter, LOL, and GTA.
But their biggest label is still the FPS game rank of diamonds per player, which is known in the community as the "Shooting Club".
"Tou~ What are you doing?" Lily in the sunset pushed open the door and poked her head in, holding a plate of cut fruit in her hand, her face with a lazy blush of satisfaction.
"Let's prepare for tomorrow's collaboration and play Apex Legends with VSPO." Shimizu Toru took the fruit plate, forked a piece of apple, and stuffed it into his mouth to replenish the water he had just lost.
“VSPO?” Rion Takamiya’s voice came from the doorway. She seemed to have just taken a shower, her hair was still wet.
"Is that the all-girls gaming club? Tou, are you going to find a little green leaf among all those girls again?"
"What do you mean?"
Shimizu Toru's lips twitched as he tried to explain, "The previous tea gatherings with Yuhan were work-related, but this time it was Hajime-san who arranged it, and it's a legitimate game, so don't talk nonsense."
"What about the collaboration with the other members of Group 19 these past few days? They've been changing people every day to play mahjong with me, it's like choosing concubines in ancient times."
"Don't make false accusations! When did I choose a concubine? Isn't it because, besides me, Group 19 currently only has one boy, Akira Saegusa?"
As for Mina Saegusa, nicknamed Chili Pepper and Red-Highlighted Hair, he's only been in the industry for a few days. It's not too late to do a collaboration with him once everyone is more familiar with him.
"I didn't say you couldn't go, it's just that..."
As she spoke, Lily leaned close to his ear and breathed softly, "Don't let them find us two more sisters after the collaboration ends, even though we still have plenty of empty rooms at home."
"..." Shimizu Toru decided to ignore these words and focus on getting used to the evil spirit in her hands. After all, there was no reasoning with a woman in this situation.
He could only forcefully change the subject, saying, "By the way, the collaboration event starts quite late tomorrow, so you don't need to wait for me."
Rion Takamiya immediately became alert: "No way! What if you guys keep practicing in private after the collaboration ends? I need to supervise!"
Lily in the evening smiled and said, "Don't worry, Rion. Toru is a married woman now, she'll be careful, right~ Toru?"
As she spoke, her fingers traced circles on Shimizu Toru's shoulder, seemingly unintentionally, her tone as cheerful as ever.
But Shimizu Toru only felt a chill on the back of his neck and quickly nodded: "Of course! It's purely for work!"
It seems that tomorrow's collaboration, besides the game itself, also requires careful not to let my husband and I overhear some unintentional remarks, which could cause unnecessary family conflicts.
"Actually, if you really want to find someone else, Rion and I won't object. As long as you treat everyone equally and make sure everyone is well-fed, that's fine."
"...Let's forget about it then. Even top-tier players like those in the NBA or the Premier League can't possibly go to nightclubs every day and still maintain good competitive form, right?"
Of course, it is undeniable that professional athletes have much more energy than ordinary people, as evidenced by the fact that condoms are the most consumed item in the Olympic Village every time the Olympics are held.
As for the claim of Chamberlain being worth 20,000, Shimizu Toru still doesn't believe it. Even if you include Chamberlain's high school career, his professional career only lasted twenty years.
That means you need a thousand a year, which is roughly three a day, and not just three times a day. Even the strongest kidneys couldn't handle that!
"Keep it up~ I believe you can do it. I did the math for you. If you take away about a week of your period each month, you'll have three weeks left."
As the sun set, Lily counted on her fingers, explaining to him, "Giving you one day off every week, eighteen times a month isn't too many, is it?"
"...If it were averaged out to every other day, I could get a break once, but you guys are on consecutive days?"
Moreover, this plan has a flaw: their periods don't overlap, so in the end it's still six days on and one day off.
"Okay~ We'll do it your way, one day off followed by one night's rest, no backing out allowed~"
Seeing the smug smile on Lily's face, Shimizu Toru knew perfectly well that he had fallen into a trap. It was that damned demolition theory again!
However, working one day on and one day off is better than working six days on and one day off. He was really afraid of being drained dry.
"Shall we start today? You've already finished teaching, so let's focus on recovering tonight."
Rion Takamiya said, giving him a charming eye roll: "Don't do what you did before, where you agreed to just sleep together but ended up getting handsy again."
"You guys were the ones who started it, weren't you? You even put your hands inside my pants, and now you're trying to turn the tables on me?"
It's only because Shimizu Tou had exercised a lot before, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to withstand the combined bone-crushing and marrow-draining by two demons.
Looks like I'll have to start working out my legs and waist when I have free time during the day. After all, if you don't train your legs when you're working out, you'll end up with a sheep tail sooner or later.
"Then I won't disturb your practice any longer. We'll be watching the collaboration live tomorrow night, so don't say anything you shouldn't~"
Before leaving, Lily in the sunset gave one last warning, lest Shimizu Toru be fooled by some bad woman again using the "best friend" tactic.
Since she's already succeeded, she naturally has to block other people's paths. This is what they call "the predecessors cut down the trees, and the successors suffer the consequences."
Volume 1: Chapter 72 Hinano with Pink and Black Hair and Mimi Taya
At 8:50 p.m. the next evening, Shimizu Tou entered the Discord voice channel provided by Ha Ge on time, and the room was already quite lively.
"Yay~ This is Usagi Mimi desu from VSPO! Good evening, Toru-kun~ We can finally collaborate! I'm so excited!"
A sweet, energetic voice with a hint of Kansai dialect rang out first, brimming with undisguised enthusiasm—it was Usagi Mimi.
Image: "A Cunning, Sharp-Tongued, and Sour Rabbit", Location: "Images/1753113032-100444248-113624041.jpg"
"Good evening, Yuzuru-san. I'm Tachibana Hinano. Nice to meet you." A distinctly nervous female voice followed, trembling slightly.
The future second VSPO boss, who just debuted, is very soft now. He is supposed to be a yandere, but he is actually a tsundere.
Image: "Pink-Black-Headed Orange Lady", Location: "Images/1753113054-100444248-113624041.jpg"
Actually, Usagi Mimi is also a tsundere and has a sharp tongue. Both of them happen to be voice lovers, which explains why they both seem very enthusiastic.
"Good evening, my two seniors from VSPO. I am Toru Hanyu from 2434. Please take care of me tonight."
That's right. Although both of them were originally supposed to debut next year, they debuted a month earlier than him in this timeline.
The specific reason seems to be that the Flower Bud Sisters received favor from capital in advance, so the recruitment process naturally started much earlier.
"No, there's no need to call me senior. We're not from the same company. Just call me Mimi Taya like everyone else."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I hope the three of us can win a few more rounds tonight."
Mimi Usagi isn't quite sure, but it's said that Hinano Tachibana joined VSPO after she became a top hunter.
A few years later, even becoming a master became difficult, just like that joke goes.
