Bottom-tier voice actress wants to become a big star on VTuber.

In addition, the connection between voice actors and their characters is actually much closer than that between actors, and popular characters can have a stronger positive impact on the voice actors themselves.

Most actors, in fact, never encounter a representative work in their entire lives, like the kind that makes people think of Uncle Jiao when they think of Erlang Shen, or Hu Ge when they think of Li Xiaoyao.

If a voice actor is lucky, they can be like the one and only god, where just mentioning their name evokes several characters.

After returning home, Shimizu Toru had just put down the duck products he had bought on the way when Sakazaki Daisuke called again.

His first reaction was, "What happened? Did the audition results come out?"

"No, but I did receive a new audition, but it's not for a TV series, it's for a theatrical anime film."

"Huh? Like 'Shinsengumi Ibunroku,' is it a sequel to an old series?"

I was so focused on the new anime series starting in July that I forgot about the theatrical releases and OVAs. This is mainly because these two types of works are mostly spin-offs and usually use the original voice actor cast.

"No, you'll never guess which theatrical anime it is. Here's a hint: the general director is extremely famous!"

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Toru raised an eyebrow: "Extraordinarily famous? It can't be Makoto Shinkai, can it?"

"Huh!? You guessed it right away, you're pretty good."

No way? It really is Makoto Shinkai?!

When it comes to Japanese directors who are particularly good at making animated films, Toru Shimizu can only think of two people.

One is Hayao Miyazaki, and the other is Makoto Shinkai.

—If we include Akiyuki Shinbo, that makes three, but Shinbo's skill level is indeed far below the other two.

"Could Makoto Shinkai's work be Weathering With You?"

Oh right, Weathering With You was released on July 19th this year, I almost forgot about it.

"It is said that director Makoto Shinkai originally planned to find an actor to voice the male lead, but changed his mind after seeing your video with MAMO."

Upon hearing Daisuke Sakazaki's words, Toru Shimizu thought to himself that if it weren't for him, the male protagonist of Weathering With You, Hodaka Morishima, would indeed be voiced by actor Kotaro Daigo.

—This person had never voiced anime before, yet won the Best New Voice Actor award with just one work, Weathering With You.

In fact, the voice actress for the female lead, Hina Amano, is also an actor, and even the supporting role of Keisuke Suga was played by Shun Oguri.

It seems that, apart from The Garden of Words, Makoto Shinkai has used actors for voice acting in his later works, only casting voice actors for supporting roles, which is his personal style.

-------------------------

My sleep schedule is completely messed up. I need to take a few days off to adjust my schedule and get some rest; my hands are really giving out.

I still owe eight chapters, I'll pay them back slowly. Don't worry about me getting flamed and having to shut down the book.

I already said I'm aiming for perfect attendance, so I'll keep writing until next July.

Volume 1: Chapter 108 Only the survivors are qualified to finish off the enemy.

She's already attended the auditions for the July anime season, and there are still a few days left for Weathering With You, so Shimizu Tohru has shifted her focus back to live streaming.

Recently, most of his livestream content has been teaching Hinano and the others how to play League of Legends.

From playing against AI and in matchmaking to ranked games, their progress is clearly visible.

At least it won't be like the original timeline, where even at Platinum rank, players still can't use smart casting, calculate skill cooldowns, or understand hero counter relationships.

In the past few days, the team's style has changed from mid-jungle duo boosting to top-lane domination, and Hu Tao Noah, who was originally a drag on the team, has become the team's main carry.

It's all because of the rework of one hero—Mordekaiser, the Iron Revenant!

Even though most heroes are quite outrageous when they are first released, it is very rare to see one as outrageous as Mordekaiser.

Even with OP items, a three-item set can easily give you 3,000 HP, and your W provides a shield of several hundred, plus nearly 300 AP. You're truly tanky and deal damage, so you could say that the only weakness is your short legs.

But if you have short legs, you can build Hextech Protobelt and Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and then build Liandry's Torment to burn health together with the passive. The R skill can force a solo and steal the opponent's attributes, and one Q can kill a squishy.

Kurumi Noa, who initially thought the hero Tetsuo was unattractive, became a loyal fan after playing the game once and has started developing her character into a Jinchūriki.

Incidentally, she also awakened her "little devil" attributes, and from the very beginning of the laning phase, she was constantly saying things like, "So weak~ So pathetic~"

Because of Shimizu Toru, VSPO and his friends have gradually gained fame in China, and their videos have a high number of views on Bilibili.

Another consequence is that, because the Chinese server version is always one or two versions behind, many people use VPNs to play on the Japanese server in order to play Mordekaiser.

Even Hinano and her friends have been targeted several times recently, and they immediately realized the difference between Chinese server players and Japanese server players.

What kind of development? What kind of operation?

No, only the survivors have the right to finish them off!

"Ahhh! Mimi, Mimi, come save me! The enemy jungler is here again!"

As Huayaqi ran towards the first tower, she expressed her incomprehension: "This has happened three times in five minutes. Doesn't this Lee Sin need to farm jungle camps?"

The Lee Sin player with the ID "[Sakurajima Mai]" attempted to gank bot lane again after ganking bot lane at level 2 and level 4, and then tried to get gold from bot lane once more after reaching level 6 and acquiring his ultimate.

There's no way around it, the top lane Mordekaiser is just too skilled. Even if he misses all his abilities, he can still manage to take on two opponents and get a kill. And in the mid lane, hinano's Sylas has Aftershock. If we don't gank bot lane, who else can we gank?

"Hey, his QQ is empty! That's great!"

Just as Hanabi breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Lee Sin decisively activate his second Q, then use W to ward hop, R to flash and kick, drawing a 7 in the air and kicking himself into a string of candied hawthorns. In the end, even Hanabi couldn't escape.

"So! Are you a professional gamer, Mai-san!? Answer me!!"

The smile disappeared from Hana-ya's face and moved to Shimizu Tomo's face: "www He might just be someone who plays Lee Sin a lot, his skill level might not be as high as yours."

Among Chinese players, there are quite a few players with "terminal illness" like those who have played Lee Sin for thousands of games or Yasuo for tens of thousands of games. They have skill, but that's about it.

With a 3-0 lead in the top lane, Nutcracker confidently patted her chest and said, "It's okay, we'll take it all back in the dragon fight later!"

She truly lived up to her word. In team fights, she used her E skill to pull in two enemies, activated her W skill to chase and hammer them, and when they were low on health, she used her ultimate to kill the enemy Nami. After she came out, her other skills were off cooldown again.

Then, I activated W to boost my health, used Q to flash and kill two wounded enemies, and with the help of Flower Bud, I managed to get a three-for-five trade.

"Nice~ Well done, noah!" After cheering, Usagi Mimi couldn't help but worry again: "What if Tetsuo gets banned or stolen during the main match?"

"It's alright, I've prepared some counter-champions for her. She's already mastered Darius and Pyke even if she gets countered, so her champion pool isn't a big problem."

When Pyke was first released, his ultimate had an extremely high kill threshold, so there was no need to build damage items.

Go straight for Relic Shield, Ice Heart, and Green Armor. After triggering Aftershock with QE, your dual resistances will be extremely high. If you're low on health, use W to disengage and heal, then re-enter the fray.

The designers realized this wouldn't work; the gameplay was too overpowered. So they changed W to armor penetration bonuses, forcing players to abandon the tank build.

Then at this year's Mid-Season Invitational, G2 used Pyke in the top lane to teach T1 a lesson.

At this time, Pyke's Q and E can deal AOE damage to minions. If you rush Tiamat, two skills will clear a wave of minions. After getting Boots of Speed, you can clear the wave and then roam. Who can stop you?

M was only recently released, and top lane Pyke won't be nerfed until the next patch. Then, because of the Project skins, Pyke's ultimate was given an extra money bag for assists, making mid lane Pyke completely rise to prominence.

Anyway, mid-lane heroes are slow at taking down towers, so you can just eat the tower plates as you please, and I'll just be a laborer. Once I get a few assists, I'll completely overtake you in gold.

"Is top lane really this fun? Playing AD is so boring, anyone can use me as an ATM."

Hana-ya pouted and said to Shimizu Toru in a coquettish tone, "Coach~ are there any AD champions like Mordekaiser, the kind that can dominate others?"

"Yes, there is, Mordekaiser from Season 5."

Those who only started playing League of Legends after its inception may not know how overpowered Mordekaiser was in Season 5.

To put it simply, he can get full experience in the duo lane, the damage of each part of his Q skill increases progressively, and the third part of Q has a three-fold bonus. After using his ultimate to kill the dragon, he can also control the dragon soul to help push the lane. He even has healing!

"Waaah~ Isn't there a hero that lets me take on five opponents and win easily?"

Shimizu Toru couldn't very well tell her that when Aphelios is released at the end of the year, if she gets a good ultimate, she can get a pentakill with just one ultimate, right?

He could only grumble irritably, "Here's what we'll do: Open Steam now, buy a game called *Monster Hunter: World*, complete the M2 quest 'The Sleeping Wyvern and the Four Eyes,' there's a Sleeping Wyvern. Go inhale its sleep gas, then fall asleep instantly, and you'll dream about anything."

"Hahaha~ The coach's sarcastic little lesson has started again. Remember to cut this part out, I need to study it repeatedly (to avoid censorship) hahaha."

Like hinano, Hana bud has a bold and unrestrained style of laughter, which is also known as a barbell-like laugh.

"...You still have the nerve to laugh? My reputation has plummeted ever since I became your coach."

After all, everyone is human, and after seeing their high blood pressure procedures, it's hard to resist the urge to criticize them.

Shimizu Toru couldn't hold back either, and the outrageous things she blurted out could fill a two-hour compilation.

The Japanese, who only know how to use vulgar and trashy language, have never seen such a refreshing and unique way of mocking others. As a result, he became popular again, and someone even created a hashtag for him called #QingshuiTou'sGoldenQuotesCollection#.

If your grandma saw this, she'd be so angry she'd rise from her grave; if she called you a pig, even a pig wouldn't be happy; if a five-star hotel chef saw this, he'd have to praise your cooking...

At first, Nutto and the others would be very defensive when they heard these words, but now they have developed a thick skin and don't take them to heart at all.

Furthermore, he also learned, without any instruction, how to use the trash talk taught by Shimizu Toru to mock the opponent when they make a disastrous play.

Incidentally, this also taught the viewers in the live stream a lesson, and as a result, the average quality of the entire Japanese server dropped by at least five percentage points.

Volume 1: Chapter 109 Shimizu Tomo: I Have a Plan

After a three-game winning streak, the team ran into another team of Chinese server players just before ending their stream.

The team they encountered this time was clearly not a local player in the Gold rank, and they almost beat Tachibana Hinano and her friends to a pulp.

What should have been a happy ending to the broadcast has turned into a night where I can't sleep in bed, and the voice chat channel is filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Seeing this, Shimizu Toru didn't want to put any more pressure on them, so she changed the subject: "By the way, I just heard an ambulance siren coming from Naoh's side. The live streaming environment isn't very good, is it?"

"Yes, the soundproofing in the rented room at home is not very good, and I'm doing a live stream from the living room, so all sorts of everyday noises get picked up."

As soon as Nutto Noah finished speaking, Flower Sprout couldn't help but complain, "The soundproofing is actually not too bad, but the main problem is that the circuit is too old, and it often trips during live broadcasts."

“That’s right, that’s right. Last time we were playing Apex Legends together, she suddenly went offline. When I asked her on Line, it turned out that her mom was boiling water with the water heater.”

Usagi Mimi, who also had a lot of complaints to vent, continued, "There was another time when two ambulances passed by in a short period of time, and some viewers said they also lived nearby."

"You were almost targeted at your home address? That was dangerous! What if you ran into a fanatic? That could have been serious!"

In Japan and South Korea, incidents like sasaeng fans suddenly breaking into people's homes are quite common.

Unfortunately, they had only known each other for a short time, and Shimizu Toru's relationship with the other party was not yet good enough for her to invite him to stay at her home. Besides, Yuhi Lily and the others might not agree.

But Nutto Noah has only been in the industry for a short time, and not everyone can achieve financial freedom like him in just over two months.

If the other party wants to improve their live streaming environment through live streaming, it will take at least six months, and that's for renting a place; if they want to buy a house, it will take even longer.

Having been caught in the rain before, Shimizu Tomo wanted to offer someone an umbrella, but after a few seconds of hesitation, she suddenly changed the subject: "You guys have been practicing for so long, why don't you arrange a practice match with someone?"

"Huh!? A training match, against other participating teams?" The topic changed so quickly that Tachibana Hinano was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"That's right. After all, relying solely on ranked matches isn't enough. Scrimmage matches can expose more problems and also provide an opportunity to probe other teams' weaknesses."

The more Shimizu Toru talked about it, the more reliable she felt her idea was. She picked up her phone next to the keyboard and said, "But we can only book teams 24, 34, and 4. Is that okay?"

After the practice matches are over, we should all add each other as friends, right?

Although Yuhi Lily and Takamiya Rion often act like jealous girlfriends in front of him, they are both very kind at heart.

After learning about Nutto Noah's situation, he will definitely take the initiative to invite her to move in with him. Shimizu Toru will then be able to perfectly extricate himself from the situation, and he can even make a series of refusals.

The captain wasn't the more skilled Nakano and Jungle, but rather Hanae Nazuna, one of the original two members of vspo, who immediately agreed.

—She and Sumire are only sisters in name; it is said that she became the younger sister because she lost a game of rock-paper-scissors.

In reality, compared to Hanayo Sumire, who is nominally the older sister, she is the one with more initiative and decisiveness, and she is the soul of VSPO.

"Wait a moment, let me ask Ge Ye and the others for their opinions. There shouldn't be any major problems."

In the Rainbow League of Legends group chat, Shimizu Toru tagged Kuzuha: "Want to arrange a scrim match sometime? Let me see your coaching skills."

Having finally advanced to the Master level, Kuzue immediately took the bait: "Come on! I may not be as good as you in individual skills, but I'm definitely the better coach!"

"How about setting the date for the day after tomorrow? Best-of-three or best-of-five?"

"BO3! The main tournament is also only BO3, and it's not certain that everyone can handle playing five games."

After replying to Kuzue with an OK on his left hand, Shimizu Toru said in the voice channel, "They agreed, so you guys are not allowed to embarrass me, or you'll have to do half an hour of one-on-one special training!"

"Special training? No way—"

The slight joy that had just risen among the group when they heard that the Rainbow Team had agreed to play a practice match vanished without a trace upon hearing about the punishment for losing.

What special training! It was just Shimizu Toru unilaterally tormenting them, beating them up while spewing venomous trash talk like a viper!

"Objection overruled! In short, whoever has the biggest problem will have to solo me for half an hour, and I can give you a handicap."

Ignoring the cries of the others, Shimizu Toru decided on the punishment and then left the voice channel.
