If you get lost on the love map

Chapter 108 Talking about the wrong life

In the parking lot next to Sumida Park, Takahiro Ishihara sat on the car seat, frowning as he watched the news from the office on his mobile phone.

There is nothing surprising about the content. It is generally because the firm’s recent performance is not good, and the salary may be reduced. I hope that all employees will be tolerant.

To be honest, for Takakan Ishihara, such content has been a cliché no less than four or five times, and there is really nothing to be indignant about.

At most it was just a sigh.

After all, the firm really has no money, so he can either accept the current meager salary and continue to try to find good seiyuu seedlings, or simply resign and find another job for himself.

And Izumi Youyue and Qingshui Qianxia can be said to be Ishihara Takakan's last attempt.

But he absolutely didn't want to send the girls into an embarrassing or even painful situation because of him.

Quan Youyue likes the voice actor industry, and if he wants to become a voice actor, of course he will help her with Nazukahiko and try his best to make her realize her dream.

And Shimizu Chinatsu...

When he saw that the girl's initial interest in voice actors was only out of curiosity and wanting to follow Nazukahiko, he decided to persuade her to leave this path.

There are too many ordinary people who fell on this road, not less than Chimizu Chika.

Even if you go back to Hokkaido and live with your parents, it may be better than working hard alone in Tokyo.

The phone rang.

Picking up the phone and glanced at it, seeing that the caller was Tsukahiko, Takahiro Ishihara quickly picked up the call.

"Mr. Ishihara, where are you now?"

"There's a parking lot next to Sumida Park, and I'm there."

"Shall we come to find you, Mr. Ishihara?"

"Forget it, I'll pick you up at the place where I just let you down." Ishihara Takahiro thought for a while, and rejected Nazukahiko's proposal.

After a pause, before Nazukahiko hung up the phone, the voice actor manager added, "Brother Mingzuka, have you discussed with Ms. Shimizu?"

Nazukahiko was silent for longer than he expected.

"...Let's talk about it in the car."

"Okay." Takakan Ishihara didn't ask any more questions, started the car decisively, and drove out of the parking lot.

Not long after, he came to the position just now, and saw the figures of Nazukahiko and Shimizu Chinatsu.

"Both of you, do you want a ride?" Opening the car window, Takakan Ishihara waved to them.

"Of course, I just don't know where the car is going?" Nazukahiko immediately replied with a smile.

"Oh, I went to the seiyuu school, do you two have any special advice?" Takahiro Ishihara asked a question.

"Probably not good enough? One of us will go to the house in Bunkyo District, and the other will go to the dormitory in Shinjuku District, so we won't go to the seiyuu school." Nazukahiko hesitated for a moment before giving an answer.

Ishihara Takahiro nodded, watching Nazukahiko open the door, and Shimizu Chinatsu sat in the back seat of the car one after the other.

The car door was closed, the seat belt was fastened, and after seeing the two getting ready for work, Takakan Ishihara released the brake and kicked the accelerator.

Only this time, he was very calm.

Because in the conversation with Nazukahiko just now, the two have roughly completed the communication.

Driving to the seiyuu school means asking Shimizu Chinatsu if she wants to continue her studies at the seiyuu school.

Nazukahiko replied "not very good", which means that the girl no longer chooses to continue her studies and give up becoming a voice actress.

However, although the decision of the two was decisive enough, Takakan Ishihara was somewhat curious.

Seeing that the traffic and road conditions ahead are quite good, he slightly raised his eyes and stared at the two people in the rearview mirror, "So, Miss Shimizu, why did you make such a decisive decision?"

"Mr. Ishihara, shouldn't you only care about the result? Why are you still concerned about the process?" Nazukahiko seemed dissatisfied and stopped him.

"As the person who introduced Ms. Shimizu to the voice actor school, I can always have a brief understanding of the reason why I chose to leave, right?" Ishihara Takahiro said with a smile on his face, and didn't care about Nazukahiko's gag.

He could see that Nazuka Hiko seemed to be consciously blocking this topic, but as a voice actor manager, even if it was just a gesture, he had to understand the reason for it.

This would also allow him to give an explanation to the staff who had entrusted him.

"I……"

Nazukahiko opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at Shimizu Chinatsu, he gave up.

"Mr. Ishihara, because what I want is not to stay in the voice actor industry, but to follow Nazuka-kun and see more interesting scenery." Shimizu Chinatsu replied in a calm tone.

Compared with when she expressed her thoughts to Nazukahiko before, the girl's emotions and the fluctuation of the girl's tone have become much weaker, and it even feels like she is stating objective facts.

But as someone who heard this answer for the first time, Takahiro Ishihara couldn't help but hesitate, stepped on the accelerator, and almost made Hiko Nazuka, who was looking out of the window depressed, hit his head on the seat.

"Mr. Ishihara, do you think I provoked Ms. Shimizu for something, so you want to take revenge on me?" He was half joking, and half knocked on the seat helplessly.

"No, how could it be." Ishihara Takakan took a deep breath, and then let out a long breath, "I just think, Brother Mingzuka, your life from now on...should not be so easy."

"What does this mean, Mr. Ishihara?" The topic changed, and Shimizu Chinatsu was attracted.

"It's nothing, I'm just saying that I'm suspected of causing harm to others." Afraid of what Ishihara Takahiro would say, Nazukahiko could only take the initiative to answer the question.

"Mr. Ishihara, is that so?" Shimizu Chika was a little puzzled.

"I..." Takahiro Ishihara looked back subconsciously.

I saw the girl's curious eyes and Nazukahiko's threatening eyes.

Forget it, I won't talk about it.

Even if she knows that there is a respectable young lady who claims that Nazukahiko is her boyfriend, even if she knows that Nazukahiko's childhood sweetheart has an unusual relationship with him now, even if she knows about Izumi Youyue's performance in the voice actor school...

Takakan Ishihara also couldn't say a word.

He just kept his mouth shut, pretending that he didn't know anything.

He could only agree with a slightly stiff nod, "Yes, that's it."

The girl glanced at Takahiro Ishihara in the rearview mirror, and then turned her head to look at Nazukahiko for a while, but couldn't find anything unusual.

The car drove smoothly and went straight to the starting point of Shimizu Chika and Nazukahiko.

……

Dormitory for exchange students.

Quan Youyue was sitting at the table in her room on the second floor, looking at the book in front of her.

The girl was wearing simple long sleeves and trousers, her short black hair was tied into a small ball behind her head, and a few strands were hanging down her forehead.

If it weren't for the fact that the girl's eyesight has always been good and she doesn't need to wear black-rimmed glasses, she would just look like a real house girl now.

Besides, unlike Nazukahiko or Himuro Yuu, Ms. Izumi is not a genius in learning.

Even on the bright side, the girl's talent can be regarded as upper-middle-level at best in the eyes of private management.

If you are a resident of Kanto, you can certainly feel at ease with such a talent level. After all, schools in Kanto have a clear tendency to recruit students from Kanto.

But Miss Quan... Even if she already has her own legal identity certificate, her identity certificate will not say that she is a resident of the Kanto region.

After all, she is linked with her identity and name Tsukahiko. If the people in Kanto and Kansai are brothers and sisters, it is really ridiculous.

On the contrary, Kansai and the central region have a lot of contact within the scope of Aichi Prefecture, which is barely acceptable.

Therefore, if she wants to continue to gain a foothold in Kanto, continue her studies as a voice actor, and then become a voice actor, Ms. Izumi must do her best—whether it is her studies at a private school or her practice at a voice actor school.

Writing down the answers to the math problems in the notebook, the girl couldn't bear her sleepiness, so she raised her head and yawned.

But she has no intention of stopping.

Because it is the end of April now, the monthly test in May will arrive soon.

As a competition on the bright side, private Lixin and private Mingwu have always maintained the tradition of unified questioning and unified marking, and every monthly test in the third grade will affect the university's resource preference for the two schools.

To make a simple analogy, if Private Lixin beats Private Mingwu in the three monthly tests in the third grade, all universities will tend to recruit private Xinxin students in the new class.

Among them, students with higher rankings will be more concerned by the teachers in charge of enrollment.

If a girl wants to make progress in the monthly test, or even stand out, then she must not relax at all.

"Miss Quan." There was a knock on the door and Nazukahiko's voice.

"What's wrong?" Quan Youyue didn't even turn her gaze.

"The big thing is not good." Nazukahiko sounded a little lacking in confidence, as if he had gone out to exercise for ten hours, and he no longer had any remaining energy.

The girl who was still thinking about the topic was quietly attracted and diverted.

After thinking about it, she stood up reluctantly, walked to the door, and opened it.

Outside the door, Nazukahiko did not look haggard at all as she imagined, at most there was some worry in his brows.

"Nazukahiko, are you talking big?" The girl was a little unhappy.

"No, something is really wrong." Nazukahiko sighed, "Is Miss Quan very busy now?"

Quan Youyue subconsciously looked back at the textbooks and exercises on the table, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head lightly, "It's... not too bad, it's not too busy."

Just that being said, the girl is indeed lying.

The voice actor school said that they usually only need to attend classes on weekends, but if there is no practice from Monday to Friday, mastering the skills taught by the school teachers can basically be regarded as idiotic dreams.

Under the condition of ensuring enough practice, girls also have to review various subjects according to their own plans.

To say it's not busy... is to be bullshitting.

"Have time for a heart-to-heart talk?" Nazukahiko's eyes seemed to light up.

"...Probably." Although it seemed that this was an opportunity for the two to deepen their relationship, Quan Youyue felt awkward no matter what she thought.

It was not long ago that I realized that I liked him, but what happened to this kind of "secret chat in the boudoir" scene?

You won't develop in the direction of confidantes, or girlfriends of the opposite sex, right?

As for the other side, Nazukahiko was still overwhelmed by Shimizu Chinatsu's previous statement, and really couldn't take into account the subtle changes in Miss Izumi's facial expression.

"So, what's the matter?" Seeing that Nazukahiko didn't seem to be ready to take the initiative to speak, Quan Youyue tried hard to adjust her expression, trying to soften her tone as much as possible.

"I..." Nazukahiko still hesitated for a while.

To be honest, he was in Kanto, and he really couldn't find anyone to discuss this matter.

Outside of school, he didn't know anyone else.

And in school... Watanabe Haruhiro and Saizonji Yukie were the first to be excluded.

Himuro Yuu is also impossible.

Tatsuya Nojima is also a person who likes to make noise, and the female doctor in the health room, Yuka Yasumoto, also likes to join in the fun.

So he pieced it all together, and finally the only person he could find, who had a little in-depth chat with him, was Quan Youyue.

Therefore, even though he felt that he might be beaten for speaking out on such a topic, Nazukahiko walked up to the second floor with a slightly apprehensive mood.

"Wait, ask a question first." Thinking of this, Nazukahiko suddenly realized something, and looked at Himuro's room quite vigilantly.

Quan Youyue followed his gaze, and easily understood what he meant, "Himuro-san went out alone, and is not at home now."

"Going out alone?" Nazukahiko was a little puzzled.

"Nazukahiko, if you still want to continue your so-called heart-to-heart talk or negotiation, don't keep breaking the subject, just be more direct." Quan Youyue gritted her teeth, her tone threatening, "I'm standing here, I didn't listen to you going around the topic!"

"Don't, don't, I'm only Miss Yuquan, you can still have a life conversation!" Nazukahiko immediately begged for mercy.

The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she couldn't help smiling because of his performance, but she quickly returned to normal, "So, what's the matter, tell me!"

Nazukahiko hesitated, "Just say it here, is the treatment so bad?"

"After listening to you, I have to review." Miss Quan threw the hard words on Nazukahiko's face.

"Why is this..." Nazukahiko sighed, and could only choose to speak, "This is how it is today, Mr. Ishihara invited me and Shimizu-san to go out..."

"Didn't you just say that Mr. Ishihara invited you out?" Quan Youyue looked at Nazukahiko suspiciously, "What do you mean by hiding classmate Shimizu?"

Nazukahiko choked for a moment, "It's nothing interesting, I just think you and Himuro-san will be unhappy."

"I can understand that Himuro is not happy. What is there to be unhappy about, Nazukahiko?" The girl's tone suddenly became softer, even a little persuasive.

"Uh... because I didn't take you with me when I went out to play?" Nazukahiko looked at the girl's expression carefully, and it took him a long time to give an answer.

"In your eyes, I'm the one who loses his temper because he can't go out to play?" Ms. Quan gritted her teeth again, as if she wanted to slap Nazukahiko hard in the face and make him lose his appearance.

"No, no, how could it be." Nazukahiko waved his hands again and again, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Ultimately, this is a trap question.

For example, in the answer just now, saying that Ms. Quan was angry because she didn't take her out to play, then of course there will be a question of "I will be angry because of this kind of thing".

But if Nazukahiko changed the angle and joked that Ms. Izumi likes herself and that's why...

Let's not talk about other things, Miss Quan will definitely slap the door panel in his face, and then go back to review.

Don't forget, now he is the one who wants to ask Ms. Quan to have a life talk with Ms. Quan!

He was in a dilemma.

"Nazukahiko, if you don't say anything else, I'll just enter the room." Seeing Nazukahiko's coy look, Quan Youyue felt a little funny in her heart, but she didn't mean to let him go at all, she was still Every step of the way.

"I said, I said, let me say the head office." Nazukahiko had no choice but to admit defeat in front of Ms. Quan.

Seeing his helpless reaction, Miss Quan felt relieved for a moment, and even opened the door to make the gap even wider.

"Say it!"

"To put it simply, it's Shimizu-san..." Nazukahiko stopped in the middle of speaking.

He didn't know how to express it.

Shimizu Chinatsu wants to give up becoming a seiyuu?

But that's not the point at all.

Shimizu Chinatsu wants to follow behind her?
It is inexplicable and incomprehensible.

Shimizu Chinatsu confessed?
No matter how thick-skinned Nazukahiko was, he wouldn't sum it up like this.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to use a more miscellaneous statement, even if it would cause misunderstanding, "It's like this, Shimizu-san decided to give up becoming a voice actor... The reason is that she wants to follow me to see more scenery."

After a pause, he added, "Personally, I think it's very likely to be a confession."

Facing Nazukahiko's narration, Quan Youyue was curious about Ouxie at first, but as soon as the words came out, the girl remained silent until the end.

Until Nazukahiko finally finished speaking, she kept her posture again and didn't move for three seconds-this made Nazukahiko almost reach out and wave his hand in front of her as a test.

After that, the girl closed the door decisively, turned around and walked back to the desk.

Nazukahiko stood in front of the gate, a little dumbfounded, but not too surprised.

Because he had just expected it.

So, in order to make amends, he immediately patted the door and explained, "Miss Quan, I really didn't lie, and I didn't make any omissions... These words are the original words of classmate Qing Shui!"

"What does that have to do with me? Shimizu-san confessed to you, Nazukahiko, you can choose to accept it or not?" The girl's tone was cold and merciless, "Do you still want me to help you confess to Xiyuan Temple?" To report this matter?"

"Don't, don't, don't!" Nazukahiko slammed on the door, "Miss Quan, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have chosen to tell you about this, either?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Nazukahiko stood in front of the door, feeling uneasy, but felt something was wrong.

After all, from his point of view, there is absolutely no need for Quan Youyue to be angry because of this matter, right?
He wasn't entertaining Miss Quan, and he wanted to discuss this matter very seriously...

If the relationship between the two of them cannot discuss this matter, what relationship can they discuss?

Or can it never be discussed?
Just as he was thinking wildly, the door opened with a "click".

Quan Youyue poked her head out and looked at him, "Come in."

"……what?"

"I said, come in." Miss Quan threw him down, "If you don't come in again, you won't wait until it's time!"

Nazukahiko hurried in.

Then I saw the girl untie her hair tie and let down her black hair.
