Ch 141 – 11 June, Training with Aoyama Nanami
Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796
Eriri was making breakfast, and at the same time, Kouta was working on his task. After he obtained Utaha's virginity, he did not give Utaha any strange orders. He gave Utaha time to rest for a while. It seemed to have quite an impact on the speed of work for Utaha, who sent him many scripts making Kouta wonder if this was Utaha's way of getting back at him.
Maybe she thought he wouldn't think about weird stuff if she gave him a lot of work. Unfortunately, this didn’t have much effect on Kouta. With his abilities and memories from the past, he easily made Utaha's script into a good visual novel. Thanks to this, parts of the story and drawings would be completed ahead of schedule. Therefore, the things that are now on his mind are music and voice acting.
"Here we go~" Eriri put down the breakfast she made. Even though she had only learned recently and usually learned from helping Kouta when he made food. Eriri could slowly cook, even if it was just an ordinary breakfast like toast with sausage, eggs and bacon. It was good progress. Kouta himself thought of making Katsu Sando for his lunch. He would use his lunch time to start training Nanami.
"Thank you for the food." Kouta ate breakfast, and the two of them went to school together. They did not hide from each other, when on the street, Kouta could see Eriri busy with her smartphone, and she looked like she was having a lot of fun.
"What are you doing? You look like you're having fun." Kouta questioned Eriri.
"Well, I just talked to Chika. She seemed quite surprised by the video I gave her." In a happy voice, Eriri replied.
Kouta remembered the sexual activities they did last night and also how he edited the video into three, namely during the blowjob, when he played with her pussy and the last one when they had sex.
Eriri sent the video to Chika and seemed to be enjoying her conversation with her. When Kouta asked Eriri, she raised her index finger and said to him, "It's a secret. Special talks between girls, but for sure, I'll make sure you get a chance to date Chika. So stay tuned."
Well, Kouta could only agree to whatever Eriri did to Chika. Because in the end, Kouta didn't have many ways to get close to Chika. Therefore, he gave Eriri freedom about Chika. Eriri herself wanted to help him approach Chika, even though she told Kouta that she would help him if he could conquer Utaha. It seemed that Eriri was very satisfied with the development between Kouta and Utaha, so she was quite eager to help him with Chika.
Or did Eriri just want to fulfill her own lust? Kouta didn't know which was the truth. All that mattered to him was that he had a partner in crime. Their conversation about it ended when they arrived at the station near the school.
When he arrived in class, Kouta felt more comfortable because he did not feel anyone staring at him. The former Riajuu followed Kouta's words and tried his hardest not to speak or be seen from Kouta's perspective. He looked like a bullied child, hoping not to be seen by the bully.
When the lunch bell rang, Kouta immediately went to the audiovisual room. Since it was upstairs, Utaha and Nanami were already there and waiting for Kouta to arrive. They didn't seem to get along too well. Perhaps it was because Utaha had always been cold by nature, and Nanami was nervous in front of someone like Utaha, who was not only famous as a smart student but also the author of the famous light novel Koisuru Metronome.
"Oh, looks like you've come. Hm… I told you not to bring lunch. I had already prepared lunch for us, Katsu Sando!" Kouta spoke to the two of them while taking out a large lunch box filled with katsu sandwiches.
"Oh, thank you. Although you shouldn't have to bother." Nanami responded.
Meanwhile, Utaha grabbed a sandwich before asking Kouta, "What's the occasion with this?"
"Well, This is our first time teaching Nanami and also, our little circle became bigger by doing voice acting. It's good to welcome this success with katsu because I've heard that katsu does good things."
"Isn't that only in manga and anime only?"
"But… well… It's just for fun. Nothing wrong with it."
Utaha and Nanami had different attitudes, but they enjoyed the sandwiches made by Kouta. During lunch like this, Nanami and Utaha started talking and became more open than before. It was a good thing for Kouta and also the reason why he organized this little thing. At least he wanted to make a small thing that could get them acquainted with each other.
After they finished lunch, they took a short break. Before Kouta gave Nanami the script to start practicing, Kouta hoped to make at least Nanami's voice acting as similar as possible to the character that Kouta finally decided for her to voice.
In the end, Kouta decided to have Nanami do Rin's voice.
Kouta first asked Nanami to demonstrate the various warm-ups that voice actors usually do; throat exercises, and the like. Although Kouta had never voice acted and the like with his ability to mimic what he sees. Kouta could act out some of the acting he has seen both in this life and in the past. Therefore, could act out some of the voice samples he expected in the visual novels he creates.
Kouta's acting seemed good enough to surprise both Utaha and Nanami. It also seemed that Nanami was looking at Kouta with a sparkling gaze.
"I didn't expect it to be cast this well," Nanami said while clapping her hands after she saw how Kouta acted a little.
"Haha, I'm just trying to display what I imagined. What do you think, Utaha?"
"Hm, that's good. It was really similar to what I imagined."
Utaha replied with a smile on his lips. He also seemed to be impressed with Kouta's acting.
"Well, good. Then we will continue."
"Yes!"
It seemed that seeing Kouta act made Nanami believe what Kouta said more. Even though Kouta never practiced acting with his skills, at least he could provide pointers for Nanami to have a better voice and acting.
The thing that Kouta could provide pointers for was how the body worked to make a better voice. Because Kouta's ability was that his body could copy and imitate what he can see, he could feel directly how his body worked to imitate the sound he wanted to copy and imitate.
Therefore, what he gave was advice to Nanami. What surprised Nanami was how true Kouta's advice was. When she managed to follow Kouta's advice, her acting and voice became better than ever. Of course, it was not easy, and Kouta was not a kind person when teaching her. He was quite strict and kept giving examples of how to do it right.
"Hah… hah… hah…" Nanami let out a tired and sweaty breath following Kouta's demanding instructions.
"Good work." Utaha praised her while giving her a drink.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, that's good. I'm really happy. Ah, by the way, You still earn money even if you just practice like this."
"Eh, really? Thanks. It felt like you really helped me a lot there."
"Ahaha, of course. I hope to get a discount when you become a household voice actress." Kouta said in a teasing tone.
"Hahaha, of course. Suppose I become a big name. I will give you a discount." Nanami laughed at Kouta's joke.
For Kouta, hearing Nanami's words was great because he was sure that his cheating skills and the visual novel made by Utaha and Eriri would make Nanami's name famous. The next thing he thought about was finding other voice actors.
"Ah, by the way, Azuki Miho was interested when I told her about your offer. She's just waiting for your invitation to meet." Nanami told Kouta about Miho, her friend in voice actor school.
"Really, then what about the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, I will tell her that."
Kouta couldn't believe it was so easy. He hoped he could get some musician to help him to make music for the visual novel. Everything always came easy for Kouta these days. Everything worked in his way. He may have the person he needed… Today.
