Chapter 12

  Anyway, men all like only OL (office lady) and are perverts.

  After the training class started, Yuuko devoted herself wholeheartedly to it. And when she returned home, she still had to study various ACG knowledge with Masayoshi. Voice actors not only do voice-overs for anime but also work on games, movies, and TV shows. There were many things that Yuuko needed to learn that the training class wouldn't cover. Especially some shameless things, which she had to rely entirely on Masayoshi's help for.

  Yuiko is still a minor, and Masayoshi doesn't want to corrupt his own sister. He won't teach her anything she shouldn't be exposed to.

  But now there's nothing on the internet that can't be found, so I'm holding back from searching for some key terms out of respect for my seniors.

  "Wait till I'm 20, wait till I'm 20, then I can browse all the web pages freely!" Yūka took a big pile of DVDs from Masaki and returned to her room. She looked up at the clock and saw that it was almost time for her part-time job, so she changed clothes, put on her earphones, and went out the door.

  The night curtain has fallen, neon lights have lit up, and the Tokyo city is adorned with early spring. Cherry blossoms have begun to wither, and the spring breeze blows, leaving petals all over the ground.

  Yu Guo's feet stepped on the fallen pink petals, her footsteps were very light. Although her body was tired, she had never felt so relaxed before.

  The voice in the headphones was a familiar one, and the words spoken were also very sweet. Although they met every day, Yuka still couldn't associate such deep emotions with Sugita.

  Sugita, as a senior voice actor of the Gorilla Society, will also come to give lessons to students. He always has a tight face, even when telling jokes, he won't move his mouth corners.

  It's Guan Shangbei, who is always smiling from morning to night. He often tells off-color jokes and can be annoying at times. However, no matter how over-the-top he gets, nobody reports him for harassment, and it's not just because he's the second-in-command.

  A female student of the same period said that no matter if it was Kawahara-senpai or Sugita-senpai, even Ono Tomoki-senpai, she would still be willing to take a fall for them no matter how overboard they went.

  Yu Guo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - could it really be that just by not using one's eyes, and only hearing the intoxicating sound, one would truly lose their rationality?

  The road ahead was very spacious and there were no pedestrians. Yu Guo looked left and right, then closed his eyes.

  "Are you very tired? Come over here, my arm is temporarily not rented out yet."

  Yuuka hadn't noticed what she was listening to, but it was unmistakably the voice of Sugita-senpai, who had a paralyzed face. Although it was slightly lower than his usual tone, his vocal cords were really too distinctive.

  She only felt her cheeks slightly burning, Yu Guo raised his hand and covered his own face.

  "What's wrong with you, Spring Water?"

  It's still that voice, but why does it sound so real?

  "Senaka, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are you walking with them closed?" Sugita had just bought some milk at a nearby convenience store and was heading home when he ran into Yuka passing by. He hadn't planned on greeting her because he knew she was on her way to work. At this time every day, he would come out to buy some snacks at the nearby convenience store to eat while gaming. And almost every day, he would see Yuka pass by here.

  Today, I will take the initiative to talk to Yūka, or is it because she closed her eyes. I don't know if it's because of the neon lights, or if she really doesn't feel well, even that pale face has a flush on it.

  He was worried that Yu Guo was really unwell, so he quickly caught up with her and asked. But no matter how many times he called out to her, she didn't respond.

  "Senmizu Yuka, are you listening to my radio broadcast?" As he approached, Sugita noticed that Yuka was wearing headphones and thought she probably couldn't hear him, so he spoke up.

  "Eh?" Yuka's volume wasn't turned up very high, and after hearing Sugita's voice, she noticed another figure appearing on the road covered in cherry blossom petals. Taking off her headphones, Yuka just caught the words "H Broadcasting".

  "Uh..." Sugita's mouth twitched and he instantly froze up.

  "No, no, Sugita-senpai!" Yuka was afraid that Sugita had misunderstood, and she quickly opened her mouth to explain. "I absolutely did not listen to Sugita-senpai's BL broadcast, nor did I listen to Seki-senpai or Ono-senpai's. Although my brother could have downloaded it for me, he said I'm still under 20 years old and can't be exposed to such things. I really, really didn't listen, and I haven't even searched for it online. Even when fellow trainees said they wanted to lend me games, I refused!"

  "Hmm... I didn't expect Yuka's reaction to be so amusing. Sugita still had a straight face and said seriously, "Yes, you're not even 20 years old yet, there's no way you'll be handling these tasks. You don't need to prepare yourself so early on, after all, you've just joined the training class, don't rush it. And besides, the company thinks highly of you, they won't let you get your hands on these works easily. Don't play games, once you're addicted, it's terrifying."

  Sugita isn't a talkative person, especially in front of young women. But Yuka now almost meets him every day, although it's always in class, the two are quite familiar with each other. For a moment, he said so much.

  "Uh-huh, I see, Sugita-senpai." Yuka also nodded solemnly, she was listening to Sugita's opinion very seriously. She had only recently studied some of Sugita and Seki Tomokazu's earlier works, so for the later episodes of Hidamari Sketch, Yuka hadn't fully opened that door yet.

  "Are you going to work?" Sugita was surprised that he had spoken up and initiated a conversation. Shouldn't it be time to say goodnight, goodbye, and go their separate ways?

  "Yes, it was that izakaya before, Sakuramoon. Yuka nodded, now recalling the scene where she first met Sugita, and feeling a little fortunate. Among so many business cards, she had chosen the one in his hand."

  Moreover, Seki Tomokazu who handed out his business card to himself in the train at first was also from the same law firm as Sugita, and Yuka was quite surprised.

  Is this really the legendary fate?

  "I'll send you off then." Sugita took a step forward and walked towards Mutsuki Sakura.

  "It's okay, I can go alone, I'm very familiar with this road." Yūka didn't have the nerve to let Sugita send her off, he was wearing slippers and looked like he just came down to buy something before going back home.

  "I heard that there's a pervert around here recently. Don't think it's not late now, but you can't understand the mind of a pervert. You're a girl, so be careful." Sugita wasn't just talking nonsense. With spring arriving, girls' clothing has become lighter and perverts have also started to become more active.

  "Does Sugita-san really understand the mind of a pervert?" Yuka asked casually, and as soon as she spoke, she quickly bit her lip. What was she saying? She's such an idiot.

  "Hahaha." Sugita burst out laughing, his paralyzed face finally cracking, "Actually, I've also played a lot of perverted roles too."

  "That's all work, Sugita-senpai you're a great person, absolutely not a pervert." Yuka quickly spoke up to make amends for her mistake, such a good senpai can't be allowed to have a bad impression of herself.

  "Good person card?" Sugita turned his head to look at Yuka, his face returning to its usual expressionless state. "A cute girl like you must have a bunch of them in your pocket."

  "No way... " Yu Guo subconsciously reached for her own shirt pocket, but soon she came to her senses. "I actually don't have anyone chasing me, even if I wanted to send it out."

  "Nowadays high school girls are really beyond my understanding!" Sugita sighed, wondering if the aesthetic sense of people from the Showa era and Heisei era differed that much. Or did this girl simply not know where her charm lay? The only thing he could be certain of was that she absolutely had no modesty.

  From the first time they met at the izakaya, he thought Yuka was a bit cute and silly. This period of contact has confirmed his thoughts. Seki Tomokazu had talked to him about Aoba before, and he had planned to let her transfer to the professional class. However, due to Yuka's sudden appearance, Seki Tomokazu denied his own decision.

  Perhaps at the beginning, Qingye can rely on her excellent appearance and pleasant voice to quickly rise to fame, but soon she will be restricted by the limitations of her voice.

  Although Yu Guo cannot become famous overnight, she can gradually accumulate audience recognition and may become another flagship of the company in the future.

  Of course, the time and effort that Yuka puts in will definitely be more than Aoba's. After considering this decision for a long time, it was finally settled. Fortunately, the president himself also favors Yuka's voice, which is why it was decided. However, the president's idea is completely different from Kaito's, he wants to make Aoba take the idol route, and after she turns 18 next year, match her with some explosive works and make her debut.

  "When people are young, aren't they all the same? The high school boys of today and those from over a decade ago, the things they think about in their minds haven't changed at all." Yūka let out a sigh, she suddenly remembered her male classmates from high school discussing various issues in class. They would even share their own experiences without any regard for the girls present.

  In comparison, adult men are more sensible. Although Yoshitaka also says some unnecessary things, he is not always talking about H and knows when to stop. As for Sugita-senpai, he is an even more serious person. Sometimes Yuka feels that his face needs a massage.

  "You're quite perceptive about men, aren't you?" Sugita's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt a bit flustered, as if his disguise was on the verge of being exposed.

  "I don't know where I got that from, those were my brother's words." Yuka smiled wryly, she had never even dated a guy before, how could she possibly say something like that? "It's just up ahead, the place I work at. Sugita-san should probably head back home first, it's still cold in slippers."

  "Uh-huh, you go ahead, I'll stay here and enjoy the cherry blossoms." Sugita stood still, waving his hand at Yuka.

  "See you tomorrow, Sugita-senpai." Yuka smiled and bid farewell to Sugita.

  Standing under the cherry blossom tree, Sugita saw Yuuka enter the izakaya before slowly turning around. The cherry blossom petals that had fallen on his shoulder fluttered down to the ground with the wind.

  Sugita touched the milk inside his shopping bag and sighed, "It's cold, I have to go back and ask that girl to heat it up for me again."
