Although Nazukahiko's main purpose was to make something sweet and entertain the gang's visitors, he did not ignore the girls' love for sweets.
So, after tinkering with about four bags of biscuits, he immediately gave one bag to each of Yu Himuro and Yuzuki Izumi.
However, he divided the remaining two bags of biscuits into four parts and packed them separately.
Except for one portion that he ate himself, he took the remaining three portions out the door directly.
Walking along the street towards the convenience store, the street lights are brightly lit, vehicles are constantly coming and going on the road, and pedestrians are also coming and going, giving people the feeling that "everyone should be so busy" out of thin air.
But Nazukahiko didn't speed up his pace at all. Instead, he leisurely slowed down.
After all, it was only 7:40, so even if he arrived at the convenience store early, he would just be ruthlessly squeezed for labor by the store manager.
It is better to fish than to benefit your physical and mental health.
Therefore, when Nazukahiko walked to Noragaka, not only did he not go straight through, but he went around the side and went straight in the direction of Ishihara Takahiro.
Of course, this is not just for fishing, but because he wants to deepen communication with Ishihara Takahiro - now he wants to understand the situation about the underworld, and then he will make a love short film, and later he will also be the voice actor for Izumi Yuzuki
Entrust him with your dreams.
No matter what the matter was, he should have a few more words with the voice actor's manager.
But when he arrived at the scene, he realized something was wrong.
"You two, please be careful. You can simply move these things. Don't move them too much!" Ishihara Takakan stood there and directed the staff on the side.
This voice actor manager is normal, but the person standing next to him is a bit beyond Nazukahiko's expectations.
"Ms. Shimizu, what do you think of this script? Can you accept it?" After instructing the staff, Ishihara Takakan immediately turned to Chinatsu Shimizu.
The girl stood next to him, holding the script in one hand, looking fascinated.
"I can't say whether I accept it or not...it's just that I haven't seen it before, so I just don't...can't adapt to it." The girl's face was red, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
"In other words, there is no problem?" Ishihara Takakan grasped the key point.
"Yeah, yeah." The girl agreed intermittently. If Nazukahiko hadn't had excellent hearing, he might have been drowned out by the voices next to him.
"That's great!" Ishihara Takakan waved his arms vigorously, "That Nazuka guy basically agreed... In this case, I have more than a little more confidence in this short film."
Qingmizu Chinatsu looked at this uncle's manager and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
"Mr. Ishihara, do you need to be so excited?" Nazukahiko finally stood up after hearing his name, "Even if I were passing by, I would still be attracted by your actions."
"Brother Nazuka? What a coincidence..." Faced with Nazukahiko's sudden appearance and questions, Ishihara Takahiro just smiled and ignored his slightly exaggerated movements, "Why are you here suddenly free?"
"Oh, I want to ask for news and send something by the way." Nazukahiko took out a simply wrapped biscuit from the plastic bag at hand and handed it to Ishihara Takahiro, "Mr. Ishihara, don't dislike the biscuits you made yourself."
"No, I just haven't eaten anything and I'm hungry." Ishihara Takakan took the biscuit smoothly, took out a piece from it in front of Chinatsu Shimizu and Nazukahiko, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
As soon as the biscuit was in his mouth, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Nazuka, your baking skills are quite good. You can sell them in pastry shops." Ishihara Takakan continued to take out biscuits and stuffed them into his mouth while commenting, "But... you only give
I brought one, but I didn’t prepare it for Miss Qingshui, the heroine, is that really okay?”
As he spoke, he was about to hand the cookie to Qingmizu Qianxia and let the girl try it.
"No, I also prepared it for Miss Shimizu." Nazukahiko smiled and stopped Ishihara Takahiro's movements with words, "She was going to work the night shift at the convenience store today, and I was planning to use this as a newcomer.
A gift.”
"Are you all still working as convenience store clerks?" Ishihara Takakan was stunned for a moment, then became obviously excited, "That's even better. Before the short film is shot, Mr. Natsuka, you'd better have more contact with Miss Shimizu... Only familiarity
The more you have, the more likely you are to make a good short film, isn’t it?”
Nazukahiko glanced at the excited voice actor manager and did not answer.
Although he was somewhat worried about Yu Himuro's attitude, since he had made it clear that he wanted to make money by shooting a short film and look for opportunities for Izumi Yuzuki, he believed that the girl would not say anything about such a trivial matter.
But whether Qingmizu Chinatsu is willing...that's another matter.
"Well, what Mr. Ishihara means is... it would be better if Natsuka-san and I were friends?"
Nazukahiko took a deep breath and said nothing.
He had forgotten that the girl in front of him had said in the convenience store that she wanted to be friends with him.
Shouldn’t we have more contact with friends?
However, he just remained silent. Ishihara Takahiro was stunned at first, and then shook his head like a rattle, "No, if it's a friend, the feeling of taking the photo will change."
He swallowed the biscuits in his mouth, put away the bag, and became serious, "I mean, Mr. Nazuka and Ms. Shimizu need to get to know each other a little better. Maybe they can try to talk about their hobbies. What they usually like to do."
What, but definitely not to the level of friends!”
The voice actor's agent emphasized the last sentence.
"If you are professional artists, then you can treat what I just said as unsaid." Ishihara Takakan's expression looked distressed, "But you are college students, and after becoming friends, it will be difficult to play the role required in the short film.
Such a feeling!”
"Ah...I'm sorry, Mr. Ishihara, I thought..."
"I should be the one to apologize." Looking at the girl who apologized repeatedly, Ishihara Takakan reacted, "I'm afraid that if I don't explain clearly, it may cause irreparable damage, so I got a little excited."
"It can be seen that Mr. Ishihara is very concerned about the short film." Nazukahiko took over the topic, "But...it's almost eight o'clock now, and Miss Shimizu and I have to work the night shift, so we may have to say goodbye first."
"I have a small suggestion. It will take about a minute. It may be helpful for future shooting." Takakan Ishihara glanced at his watch and ran to get another script, "Brother Natsuka, there is a scene in the short film.
, the male protagonist needs to speak in the heroine’s ear, which is a very important part.”
He pointed to the lines in the script, "Brother Natsuka, you and Miss Shimizu can give it a try first and see if you can accept it.
"In this case, if you think it doesn't work, the script can still be modified. If it can, then the two of you will take the script back and get familiar with it gradually, so that you won't be too unfamiliar by the time of the shooting day."
"Miss Shimizu?" Nazukahiko turned his attention to Shimizu Chinatsu.
He didn't care at all, it wasn't something he had to do anyway, he just wanted to give it a try.
"If this can make a good short film, I would like to give it a try with Nazuka-san." The girl lowered her head slightly and spoke in a thin voice.
"In that case, Brother Nazuka and Miss Shimizu... should you memorize your lines first?" Ishihara Takakan looked at his watch again, "There is still plenty of time, don't worry."
As soon as he said this, a crew member pulled the voice actor's manager aside for work reasons.
For a moment, where Nazukahiko and Shimizu Chinatsu were standing, there was a rare moment of silence amid the noise around them.
The flowers in Noragaka are still blooming in the dark night, bringing a bit of fragrance to the people working around them.
Nazukahiko read the script and recited it twice in his mind to make sure he remembered it correctly.
He looked at the girl in front of him, "Miss Qingshui, are you ready?"
"It's just two sentences. I'm ready, Nazuka-san." The girl closed the script and held her hands in front of her chest, like a girl walking on campus after classes in college with books in her arms.
It's like I want to cover myself with a script, even if it can reduce my nervousness and shyness.
But no matter what, the script can't cover up her graceful and graceful figure.
The evening breeze blew through the girl's long brown hair, bringing out a quiet yet slightly fragrant fragrance.
Unknowingly, Qingmizu Chinatsu's somewhat nervous expression was filled with a little expectation.
"Sorry, I've finished processing here." Ishihara Takakan ran back from a distance, "Brother Nazuka, Miss Shimizu, are you ready?"
"Yeah." Nazukahiko didn't even look back.
"Just in time, I brought a playing board." Ishihara Takakan said nothing nonsense and held the playing board in front of him.
The air was quiet for a moment.
"Uehara-kun, what do you want...to tell me?" Qingmizu Chinatsu raised her head slightly and looked at the handsome young man with a smile in front of her.
"I want to say..."
Nazukahiko took a step forward and leaned close to the girl's ear.
"I may have the answer."
"Answer?" For some unknown reason, Nazukahiko clearly saw that the girl's face was gradually turning red.
"I like you." The gentle voice rang in Qingshui Qianxia's ears.
It's like talking to oneself, like whispering.
After finishing his lines, Nazukahiko took a step back and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it was not like he had not been pushed by his classmates from Nan Middle School and Nan High School to perform unexpected stage plays before.
But he has never come across any similar love short films.
Although he didn't feel nauseated when he said the lines, he felt panicked after finishing speaking.
Just kidding, he has never said this kind of line to anyone. Do you really think that just by using the name of a trial line, he won't care?
Only a ghost would believe this!
After taking several deep breaths in succession, Nazukahiko adjusted his breath, and realized that something seemed not right just now - Ishihara Takahiro did not close the playing board, nor did he make a sound. As a result, under the guidance of the girl, the two of them began to talk unconsciously.
Pick up the lines from the skit.
He frowned and turned to look at Ishihara Takakan.
The voice actor's manager looked at Chinatsu Shimizu with surprise.
"Miss Shimizu?" Nazukahiko asked a little strangely.
"I'm...nothing." The girl turned her back and refused to look at him.
"Daily task status: Completed"
"Get 4 experience points"
"Get: Enhanced Gauntlets* 1"
"Current experience value: lv3 (96/100)"
Just before Nazukahiko understood the situation, the system solved his doubts.
Completing daily tasks... doesn't it mean raising someone else's heart rate to 130 beats per minute within five seconds?
There are only two "others" in front of me.
Ishihara Takakan didn't look red or out of breath, and there was no possibility of his heart rate rising rapidly.
The rest...
It could only be the girl in front of me.
However, even though the facts were right in front of him, Nazukahiko still found it difficult to understand.
If it was his lines that were attributed to him, Nazukahiko wouldn't believe it even if he jumped into Tokyo Bay - yes, he did get random skill points and randomly got entry-level voice control. But he couldn't let the girl do it anyway.
How high is your heart rate?
He didn't add weird computer gadgets to his voice.
However, it was obviously not the time to consider this now. When Ishihara Takahiro was about to praise him, Nazukahiko seized the opportunity and took the girl away directly on the grounds that the night shift was about to start.
Of course, I didn’t forget to ask about the underworld situation in the end.
However, he only got the answer that "about four or five people came in the direction of his home."
…
When I entered the convenience store, the time on the clock happened to be 8:01.
"You're late again, Nazuka." The store manager's annoyed voice came from behind the counter, "Hey, you're bringing Miss Shimizu with you?"
"We met on the way." Nazukahiko waved his hand with a headache, "Senior, have you prepared Ms. Shimizu's work uniform?"
"Here." The store manager picked up a bag from behind the counter and handed it to Nazukahiko, "Let Miss Shimizu change her uniform. Come out and pack your things quickly.
Glancing at the approaching customers outside the door, the store manager continued, "There are a lot of people today. We need to finish most of the things first before you, Nazuka, can teach Miss Shimizu."
"Don't worry, senior." Nazukahiko nodded repeatedly and pulled the silent Shimizu Chinatsu into the employee lounge.
"It's strange. When I saw Miss Shimizu before, she would take the initiative to say hello. What happened today that Nazuka dragged me along without saying a word?" Looking at the two people's disappearing figures, the store manager couldn't help but muttered.
One sentence.
However, fortunately, Nazukahiko had already explained the misunderstanding with the help of Yu Himuro. This flexible man did not think Nazukahiko had any other thoughts at the moment.
"Miss Shimizu, change into your uniform first, and then come and wait for me outside." Pulling the girl who seemed a little dazed to sit on a chair, Nazukahiko bent down and spoke patiently, "Tonight, I will teach Miss Shimizu how to perform.
What to do on the night shift and some tips you can use.”
After saying that, seeing that the girl didn't seem to react, Nazukahiko could only go into the bathroom, dip his fingers in water, return to the girl, and gently tap her forearm.
"Ah, okay, Natsuka-san, I understand!" Qingmizu Chinatsu seemed to finally react, "I...I will come out soon, Natsuka-san, don't worry about me."
"Well, don't worry." Nazukahiko smiled, opened the door and left.
