<span style="font-weight:400">"So, what are you guys doing now?" Michiru asked after the conversation about her joining the circle was over. She asked Kouta after looking around the room, wondering what they were doing.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, we''re seeing how the chosen voice actors will perform," Kouta replied while pointing at Nanami, who looked a little nervous and had an expression that looked confused and unsure. Kouta could see the brown-haired girl steal a few nces at Eriri.
<span style="font-weight:400">When he saw Nanami''s behavior, Kouta realized that this was the first time Nanami had met the main artist of this circle. She probably never would have guessed that Eriri, who was known as a model student and also the pride of the art club by winning thepetition immediately after two months of school, was the artist who drew the visual novel that was being created.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I kind of want to see it." Michiru said after hearing Kouta''s words.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, You heard her, Nanami. Would you be so kind as to give Michiru a demonstration?" Kouta asked Nanami who woke up from her confusion and turned to Kouta.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, okay. I can do that." Then Nanami answered the request with a positive answer.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I see an important scene or something? Maybe it would help me to be inspired for the music." Michiru requested something that sounded quite reasonable.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, are you okay with that, Nanami?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh, I''m fine, but I wonder if I can perform well…"
<span style="font-weight:400">Nanami was still a beginner as a voice actor, and she herself knew that she was far from being a professional voice actor. Sometimes, she looked nervous and not very confident. Or she sees Kouta''s performance, arguably better than hers, creating an inferiorplex in Nanami.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. I will help you, and we can also use this as practice." Kouta told her to rx for a bit.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, yes." She replied shortly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, you can do something like voice acting, too?" Michiru threw those questions toward Kouta.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, I don''t think I''m that good. But since I''m the one who made this project, I could imagine this better." Kouta responded. "Okay, then. How about we do this…"
<span style="font-weight:400">After that, Kouta made Nanami act out the scene that Utaha had written. Being written by someone else, of course, there was a difference between the Fate/Stay Night he knew from his past life and the one created by Utaha. However, the core and essence of Fate/Stay Night did not change because Kouta was still monitoring the story, and Utaha was a talented writer, so the story she created was still an outstanding story.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for Nanami, at first, she seemed a little nervous because the number of people who saw her perform increased by two, namely Michiru and Eriri, who also seemed to remain in the audiovisual room even though her business was already done. But after Kouta gave her some examples and showed her where she went wrong and corrected her. Her voice acting became much better and better.
<span style="font-weight:400">It didn''t take long for Michiru and Eriri to judge that Nanami''s voice acting was quite good. Michiru herself was quite impressed with Nanami and the scenes in the story that were shown to her before she went home quite excited and said to Kouta.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s quite something. I feel like I''m getting inspired. Even though we haven''t worked together, I''ll try to make a song that you''ll like." She uttered those words before saying goodbye and leaving the audiovisual room with Eriri.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, Michiru came to see Eriri and talked to Eriri. Eriri had no choice but to take Michiru out of school. As for Nanami, she was still getting trained by Kouta directly and firmly. Kouta was very happy with Nanami''s progress, and he was quite confident in one week of training like this. Nanami was ready to start recording voices for the visual novel.
<span style="font-weight:400">Kouta couldn''t wait for it.
<span style="font-weight:400">After they finished practicing, Kouta gave Nanami a break, who looked tired from all the activities they did. She was sitting and enjoying a cold drink that Utaha had bought her. It seemed that Utaha was not only observing the two of them, but she was also working on the other routes of this visual novel. Because basically, the visual novel they were making was divided into three with each heroine. So even though Utaha was done with the Saber Route, she still had to work on Unlimited de Works and Heaven''s Feel too.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although Utaha could have worked elsewhere, she ended up working in the audiovisual room. It was because Utaha felt ufortable leaving Kouta alone with the girl in the room. She had mixed feelings when she saw Kouta with another girl, especially after having sex a few days ago. Even though Utaha herself knew that Kouta was a bastard, she still couldn''t help it. You could say that her possessiveness had increased since then.
<span style="font-weight:400">Utaha knew how high Kouta''s charms were, even after just a few days, and she could see that Nanami had already been charmed by this devilish yet cute guy. Well, he was quite smart and dependable, after all.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay, I think that’s enough for today. You two can go home, and I''ll go to the game creation club first. Ah, I wish you rest, especially your throat." Kouta told Nanami and left the audiovisual room, leaving Nanami and Utaha alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">Utaha looked at Nanami, who smiled and waved at Kouta until he was gone from the room.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hey, Nanami?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”
<span style="font-weight:400">As Utaha called her name, Nanami looked at her with a questioning expression on her face. Utaha could see there was something in her expression, and it wasn''t just a positive one. This was maybe the same kind of face Utaha had experienced, and she had those expressions of affection.
<span style="font-weight:400">That''s why Utaha couldn''t help but say something to this girl she just barely knew.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You know… I will warn you, that''s hell you''re walking into." Utaha warned Nanami. She looked at Utaha in surprise, and she did not understand what Utaha was saying to her before she thought she realized the meaning of Utaha''s words.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I understand. I never knew that Eriri was the main artist in this visual novel. In other words, as Kouta said, this project has a very high possibility of sess. I have to work hard to put out a good performance." Nanami replied, thinking something different from what Utaha tried to say.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah! Yes. That''s maybe good, but just like Kouta said. Please take care of yourself." Utaha didn’t have anything to say. She just found out how poor this nice girl was and hoped she wouldn''t get caught up like her.
<span style="font-weight:400">Either way, Kouta wouldn''t know about these small conversations. It didn''t take long for him to arrive at the GCC room, and he found all the members gathered and ying games, including Inada, whom he had never seen ying like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I''m surprised you joined Inada."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah! Kouta-kun! Please, swap with me."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh, but I don''t know what game you''re all ying, and I came here just to check on the progress of the game we''re making. Then I met Takao."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hehehe, Kouta… If you are a capable man. Do me a favor and y with me as this character!!" Takao spoke while showing a character that Kouta felt quite familiar with. It was a tentacle character with such a ridiculous name, Pervy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, What are you ying?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, thank you for asking that. We''re ying space porn books, a struggle game Vol 3!!" Roka answered Kouta''s question with innocent and sparkling eyes as if she hoped Kouta would join the game.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, wait. Isn''t that game you all feel embarrassed to y and record it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fufufu~ In the end, we have to show the board game we made," Chitose responded with a confident face.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahahaha, we made a mistake and promised that if we reach a certain number of likes. We will y this game. Therefore, we inevitably have to record ying this game." Sakura gave the truth to Kouta.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is that so?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh… Why do I need to do this?" Takao sighed and still looked at Kouta with pleading eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But isn''t our Outube channel known as a game creation club with female-only club members?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, that''s why. You will need to use these uniforms again." Chitose immediately took out the school uniform.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really!? Can I refuse?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, can you please do it!? Let''s count this one as a new favor!" She said.
<span style="font-weight:400">Takao herself approached Kouta and whispered in his ear.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will do anything you ask…" She said it with such a yful tone and voice.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really? Even if I ask something outrageous?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What!? What will you try to do to me!? Well… I think about it."
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, since Kouta got something from Takao and a promise from another group, too. He tagged to their will and yed the games with them. Of course, since it was recorded, Kouta tried his best to ensure the audience would like his character.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was another peaceful day in The GCC club.
