Chapter 23: The Young Lady

  Big sister

  You two have raised the average height of women in the voice acting industry!

  Kanji and Sugita didn't know anything about the role that Yuka needed to audition for, nor did they know the plot of the story, so they couldn't give her any advice. Yuka also didn't know what she should prepare for, so she just slept and ate as usual without feeling particularly nervous.

  The time for sound checks is around mid-to-late September, when some July anime have already ended and October anime are about to arrive.

  Apart from Aya Hirano's PP, if Yuka Iguchi passes the audition successfully, her name will appear twice in October anime. This opportunity is very precious for a newcomer who has not yet graduated from training school.

  During this time, Yuuka reviewed all the previous animations of Otsu. As if she had been baptized by a dark soul chicken soup, Yuuka felt that she had undergone some kind of transformation. Of course, this was also inseparable from Kanzaki's long-term influence on her.

  The day Yuuka tried out her voice, Koshi and Sugita both had to go for a recording session, so Sugita took Yuuka to SUNDOWN's recording studio.

  Although Tomoki also had a role, he didn't have any scenes that day and was left at the office by Koji.

  This time there was no special car from the recording company to pick them up, so Yuka and Sugita walked to the train station one after another.

  Because Yūka is very tall and has also trained in track and field, she can completely keep up with Sugita's pace. On the other hand, Sugita feels a bit uneasy and walks faster than usual.

  "Sugita-senpai." As they walked into the train station, Yuka quickened her pace and caught up to Sugita.

  "Huh?" Sugita turned around and found Yuka handing him a wet wipe.

  "Sugita-san, you're sweating a lot." Yuka pulled out a individually wrapped wet wipe from her bag. She felt a bit hot too, but it was already late September, so she didn't think it was necessary to be drenched in sweat like that.

  "Ah, oh." Sugita took over and turned his head to look at the electronic display screen on one side, "It's still very hot by the end of September."

  "Yes, and the weather forecast also said that there will be a tropical storm in a few days." Every morning before Yuka leaves the house, her mother Tsuruko always tells her about the recent weather, worried that her daughter's frail body will be blown away by the typhoon.

  "The car has arrived." Sugita frowned, he didn't like the scorching weather, but a typhoon day was also unpleasant.

  Yu Guo stood behind Sugita in an orderly manner, queuing up to get on the bus.

  The streetcar came to a stop and when the doors opened, Sugita was taken aback.

  "Sugita-senpai?" Yuka saw that Sugita hadn't moved, so she tilted her head to look at the car in front of her.

  The two of them came out relatively early and coincidentally bumped into the time when students were going to school. There are two girls' high schools along the tram line, so the carriage is full of female high school students.

  "I'll go in first, senpai." Yuka completely understood Sugita's concern, she took a step to the side and squeezed in front of Sugita, entering the train car.

  Sugita's hands were grasping a wet towel, and he suddenly felt like even his spine was drenched in sweat. Except for when he was in the recording studio, it had been a long time since he'd seen so many high school girls at once. And Yuka had actually moved away from him; the feeling of being disliked by young girls as an old man somehow made him feel sad.

  "Sugita-senpai, come over here." Yuka went in and turned around, beckoning to Sugita.

  Sugita looked up and saw Yuuka standing by the door, leaving the empty seat next to her for herself.

  These years, the problem of perverts has been troubling women. Even though there are female-only cars, during rush hour it's still hard to get on. So when adult men like Sugita ride the train and encounter this situation, they all raise their hands until they get off.

  But today, he got on the bus with Yūka and somehow managed to avoid this punishment.

  The carriage was very crowded, and the two of them were pressed close together. Sugita found himself face to face with Yuka, and since they weren't much different in height, his line of sight was awkward whether he looked up or down. He simply turned around and faced the door instead.

  Yu Guo also felt a bit embarrassed, she could see the beads of sweat seeping out on Sugita's face. Fortunately, Sugita turned around himself, otherwise it was unknown how long the awkwardness would last.

  It's close from Shinjuku Ward to Sugamo, and it didn't take long to arrive. The two got off the crowded train car, but before they could catch their breath, they were blown away by the heat wave generated by the streetcar.

  "It's really hot, let's go quickly." Sugita turned around and looked at Yuka, who still looked refreshed. "Yuka, you're so heavy!"

  "99..." Yu Guo raised her hand and tucked the scattered hair behind her ear.

  "Isn't that too thin?" Sugita suddenly became a bit worried, although voice actors don't need to be in top physical condition, but what if they were to meet up for something, that would be exhausting.

  "I can eat all I want and not gain weight..." Yu Guo said with her head down, she wasn't bragging, it was true that no matter how much she ate, her weight wouldn't increase. She also wanted a petite and plump figure. Her current body shape, if someone were to hug her, would probably feel like hugging a washboard.

  "Haha!" Sugita's mouth twitched, he had been troubled by hair loss and thinning lately.

  Out of the train station, it takes a 10-minute walk to get to SUNDOWN.

  Sugita brought Uka to greet Takamatsu and Fujita first, then headed to the recording studio. By that time, there were already many people outside the recording studio, mostly newcomers, with a few seniors like Sugita who brought their own juniors.

  "Hey, Ono, you're here too? And where's Kamitani?" Sugita walked straight up to Ono Daisuke and teased.

  Ono smiled and looked at Yuka behind Sugita before speaking, "Just like you, bringing a newcomer."

  "Sen water is good, has been matched with PP." Although three centimeters taller than Ono, Sugita still looked up when saying this.

  The smugness hidden beneath that paralyzed face can only be sensed by Kojima.

  "Aoiro no Yū, has performed in stage plays, dubbed radio dramas, and even filmed PVs when she was younger!" Ono also got excited, he waved at the girl behind him, straightened his back, and struck a elegant pose.

  In Sugita's eyes, he still looks silly and cute.

  "Eh, Aoba?" Yuuka of course still remembered Aoba Yuzu. Although the two had only met twice, her personality and appearance were too outstanding, making it impossible to forget.

  "Hello, Yuka." Aoi knew the full name of Izumi, she walked up to Yuka's side with a friendly demeanor and grasped her hand. "Are you here for the audition too?"

  "Oh... you know each other." Ono didn't notice the difference in Yuuka's name at all, he just looked her up and down and exclaimed, "You're so tall!"

  Aoi looked up at Ono with a sweet smile and clear voice, "Ono-senpai, didn't I tell you before that I went to the Saru-sha for an interview?"

  "Oh, that voice actor idol project. I heard it was put on hold, Sugita?" Ono looked up at Sugita.

  "There's no stranding, just haven't found a suitable younger sister yet." Sugita didn't even glance at Aoba, he turned his head and said to Yuka, "It's good that my jam hasn't been mixed in though."

  Yuiko suddenly lifted her head and blinked at Sugita, she didn't know why her usually stern and serious senior had suddenly become just like Kan Chihiro.

  "Senmizu Yū is a stage name, isn't it? It's quite good." Ono smiled and nodded, "The voice is also great, a very beautiful mid-tone."

  "You've come up with a stage name so quickly, Yuka." Aoi spoke to Yuka, but her gaze was fixed on Ono.

  "Ah, Saki-san got it for me." Yuka replied honestly. She felt that Sugita's attitude towards Aoba was a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

  "Sugita, Ono, you two go ahead and let me chat with the girls for a bit." Just then, Takamatsu and Fujita walked over, and Takamatsu patted Sugita on the shoulder, telling him to take Ono to the rest room.

  Yu Guo glanced at Qing Ye, but found that she had already gone to the side of Gao Song's supervisor.

  "Come on, let's go straight to home plate!" Takamatsu didn't pay attention to Aoba and directly pushed open the door of the recording studio.

  "Take it easy." Before leaving, Sugita lightly tapped Yuka's shoulder with his finger, and a rare reassuring smile appeared on his increasingly rounded face.

  "Uh-huh." Yūka quickly nodded and then turned around and headed towards the recording studio.

  "Wait." Sugita suddenly grabbed Yuka and handed her a bottle of water from his hand, "Moisten your throat first."

  "Thank you, senior!" Yūka's eyes were about to well up with tears as she took the water from Sugita's hand and smiled faintly.

  Aoi walked ahead of Yuka, but she still heard the conversation between the two. She didn't stop and continued walking into the recording studio.

  After Maki and Aoba entered the recording studio, the two seniors outside the door started chatting again.

  "Aoi's experience still needs to be enriched a lot, but I've heard from Takeru that your jam is also very good." Kono said this without any bias, although Aoi was his junior in the same law firm, but his relationship with Sugita far surpassed that.

  While Zeze City and Ono are from the same agency (Mouse House), he was also able to hear Yūka's expressions from before when they collaborated on PP.

  "That kind of ojou-sama wouldn't be able to understand the charm of O-soul, huh." Sugita didn't say a word, he just stared at Yuka and Aoba in the recording room with an expressionless face.

  "Let's go, to the rest room." Ono pulled on Sugita's hand, only to find that he hadn't moved at all.

  "No, let me stay and take a look." Sugita shook his head and stood in front of the glass panel outside the recording studio.

  Author's note: Ohno Daisuke's office, Nezumi-sha.

  And SUNDOWN is just sunrise, everyone understands, the production company of Gintama animation

  The director of Gintama's early period was Takamatsu, who is Elizabeth. The later period was Fujita, and he also appeared at the theater version's meeting.

  Then let's talk about the female supporting character, the big sister, and her family background will be discussed later.

  Here is the translation:

  Let's take a photo of my imagined wedding dress. Tsuchiya Taeko, a newcomer actress. And Yuka's original model Nakajo Ayami collaborated with "Dark Female Teacher", a very noble and elegant girl. At first, I was going to make her the heroine, but thinking about how cute and silly Yuka-chan is, I gave up, haha!
