Ch 153 – 12 June, Lots of things to do 04


    <span style="font-weight:400">With Miho agreeing to be the voice actor, Kouta only needs to find one more person to fulfill the quota he needs. At least he wanted to provide voice actors for the three heroines in Fate/Stay Night. Then, he sipped his iced coffee and chewed a spoonful of chocte cake he ordered. It felt like there was an idea he coulde up with that had been struck in his mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah-"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Until he realized something when he saw Michiru passing by the window and about to enter the cafe because there was one thing that Kouta had forgotten since in the anime Michiru came from, he began to remember one important thing. The visual novel they made with Tomoya used one of the heroines as their character model.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta doesn''t remember if the visual novel in the anime ended up the way it did. Because in anime, they never show the final results of their visual novels. He only asionally shows the visual novels they make, so his knowledge is limited. However, seeing their seriousness and the presence of Michiru in making music for visual novels. Kouta is pretty sure they also made the visual novel with voice acting.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There is one thing that Kouta can remember: the fact that it is sometimes shown that the heroine they modeled, Kato Megumi, was always acting and practicing acting in the scenes they made.


    <span style="font-weight:400">In other words, when looking at the fact of their seriousness as well as the reaction to the results of the visual novel they made. Kouta believes Megumi at least did a good job as a model and voice actor in the visual novel. Plus, she also seemed to be very helpful in creating the game. In other words, if trained properly, Megumi could be an important asset to him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta himself did not know why it took so long for him to realize this certain thing. Somehow, Megumi''s presence in his mind felt very blurry. Like her presence told by anime on several asions. It was always told her presence was somewhat nd orck of presence that people forget about her in the same room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ha— How could I forget the precious asset before me?" Koutamented while putting down the spoon after finishing the chocte cake he ate while he thought about Megumi.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is something happening?" Nanami asked as she watched Kouta''s antics.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hm— Well, I am just thinking of thest person who will voice thest heroine."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, that''s great then," Nanami responded with a smile on her face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yahoo— Did Iete?" Michiru came towards the three of them while waving her hand and speaking in a cheerful voice. As Kouta requested, Michiru also came with a guitar on her back.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Not really," Kouta answered honestly because he basically needed time to talk to Miho. Until he got a positive response from her, it seems that he didn''t take long to convince Miho to join his project.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Even so, Kouta still felt that there were things he could do for Miho. One thing he felt he needed to do, especially if he wanted to make a great impression on Miho, was to get permission from his stubborn and strict father. Well, Kouta felt like she had difficulty getting his permission to be a voice actor.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta already has a n to deal with the problem.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Now, the important thing for Kouta was to make Michiru happy and get closer to her. Michiru was basically not a person who was interested in anime and the like. In fact, she hated it a little bit because, in her mind, this was what made her cousin, who she liked, be a hikikomori, so he didn''te out of his room for a long time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At least Kouta managed to get Michiru to learn about her cousin''s preferred culture so that she could understand her cousin''s feelings. Then, she would make her cousin stop being a hikikomori. Maybe that was the n she came up with.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m sorry, Azuki-san. But can you wait for a moment, please? I need to talk with her for a moment." Kouta apologized to Miho because he still wanted to talk to her about things, especially regarding his request to act out the character she was expected to do. He wanted to see what she could do, especially since the role he gave her was moreplex than that of other heroine.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You can order something else— It will be my treat," Kouta added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Un, you don''t have to worry about that." She replied.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At the same time, Michiru sat down beside her and introduced herself to her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hello, my name is Hyodo Michiru. Nice to meet you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Un, My name is Azuki Miho. d to meet you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Once again, Miho introduced herself gracefully, which seemed to amaze Michiru.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, are you also the person who worked on the project he created?" Michiru asked the girl, who was very beautiful in her eyes. It was not strange since Miho was said to be one of the prettiest girls when she was in middle school.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, yeah. Thanks for my friend, I got rmended, and I really like this project—"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is that so— Wait, what kind of job you''re in?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, I''m an aspiring voice actress."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh, someone''s cute and graceful like you!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">It looked like someone like her who was uninterested in anime and stuff. It was weird for someone like Miho to want to be a voice actress for that kind of stuff.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ano— Michiru-san, I think you may ask her about something you wish you knew about the culture you wanted to know. I think Azuki-san may have some knowledge. Ah, of course, don''t forget about the sample I ask?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta gave an idea to Michiru, who immediately nodded her head as a sign that Kouta''s idea was quite good. Before that, she took out a hard drive containing songs that she had made on a whim and songs made for her band.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, I also tried to make music ording to the data I had. However, it was just trial and error in one day. So I don''t think it will be very good." Michiru spoke as if what she was doing was easy. In the anime, it is said that Michiru is a smart child and quickly masters things that catch her attention. However, at the same time, this girl gets bored quickly and is easily attracted to other activities. This makes her parents a little angry as many of the things she buys be useless after she moves on to another focus.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At this point, she focused on Miho.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hey— Hey— Can I ask you something? Why are you interested in bing a voice actor? Is it because you like anime or something!? What''s so interesting about it!?" Her question was something like this. Miho was quite overwhelmed with Michiru, but at the same time, she looked very earnest.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ultimately, Miho answered her question very well as Michiru tried to understand it. She even enthusiastically involved Nanami, who was sitting next to Kouta.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At the same time, after Kouta received the hard drive. He immediately listened to the various music files using hisptop. Kouta carefully listened to the music made by Michiru and her band. As he knew, most of the music that Michiru created were songs that were very simr to anime songs because she studied music with her bandmates, who were basically closet otaku.


    <span style="font-weight:400">In his past life, Kouta yed the visual novel Fate/Stay Night, but he was someone who rarely focused on listening to background music. Although at least he could remember and give this as imagination to Michiru.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta then heard the music Michiru said she made when she saw the scene Kouta showed Michiru. Kouta listened to it carefully and tried to match it with what Kouta could see from his past life. Like Utaha, of course, the music made by her was different from that made by the original.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, Kouta tried to match and take the atmosphere of the music with the story created by Utaha with the original as a reference. He also wrote and incorporated ideas from the extent of his musical abilities. Kouta put these things into notes while sometimes ying with his fingers to think of music that he imagined would be goodbined with what he heard from Michiru and what he got from the original.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Although his skills may not yet resemble the level of professionals, his skills may already be above those of high school students who love music. That way, Kouta can summarize the music he expects in the notes he makes. With that, Kouta finished listening to Michiru''s music. He also reviewed the music and also gave points that he liked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was quite an interesting time for Kouta as this was the first time he delved into music like this. He thought Michiru''s music was like a rough diamond. It was something he didn''t want to let go of, right?
