"Does it pay?"
Miss Yamada Ryō asked the question she cared about most.
"Of course!"
He had not fallen so low that he could not afford to pay salaries.
"How much?"
"The highest standard in the industry!"
Kamijou Mutsuki gave a thumbs-up and said this to the girl with a smile.
"I'm in!"
Ryō directly grabbed Kamijou Mutsuki's hand, looking as though she were gazing at her provider of food and clothing.
"Don't just join some strange company for money!"
Her friend's money-eyed expression left Ijichi Nijika feeling quite speechless.
"Ah, sorry,"
But gentle Mama Nijika quickly realized her words were inappropriate and looked at Kamijou Mutsuki with slight apology.
"I'm not doubting you, Kamijou-kun, it's just…"
"I understand."
Kamijou Mutsuki would naturally not get angry over something like this.
"If it were me, being invited so suddenly, I probably wouldn't trust it right away either."
"Kid, you've said all that…"
Compared to Mama Nijika, Ijichi Seika was much more straightforward.
"Is this Houbunsha Animation of yours reliable? What representative works does it have?"
"Does MyGO!!!!! count?"
If they had been the first ones he approached, Kamijou Mutsuki truly would not have been able to answer that question.
But with MyGO!!!!!'s success, from now on it would only become easier and easier for him to… recruit people up the mountain—
Ahem, that is to say, find people to voice characters for him.
"MyGO!!!!!?!"
The girls were all startled. For people who played in bands, there were probably few who had not watched this recently rising music anime.
"So MyGO!!!!! was actually produced by Kamijou-kun's company?"
Even Nijika could not help but show an excited expression.
"It feels a bit unreal, but it's really completely different from previous band anime. Ryō and I both really like it…"
"That Soyo in it looks like she'd be really easy to make drop gold coins— ahem, I mean she looks very suitable to be a friend!"
Miss Ryō stated her opinion with a completely serious face, still full of that scummy aura.
"Ryō, even if it's just an anime character, that's too rude, isn't it?"
Nijika once again lectured her friend as usual.
"We more or less understand what Kamijou-kun is saying."
After putting an end to the unserious atmosphere, Nijika voiced her thoughts.
"But why us?"
After all, playing in a band and being a voice actor could be said to have nothing to do with each other.
Not to mention that she played drums and Ryō played bass—the gap was even wider.
"Since Kamijou-kun's company can produce a work as outstanding as MyGO!!!!!, it should be very easy to find better voice actors, right?"
There was no need to look for amateurs like them.
"There are no better ones."
No matter how outstanding a professional voice actor was, how could they compare to playing themselves?
When the person in question was right here, going to find someone else would just be putting the cart before the horse.
Whether from the perspective of profit or personal feelings, that would be a rather terrible idea.
"It has to be you."
"Eh?"
The same kind of words, when spoken in different situations, gave a completely different feeling. Last time, Nijika had only felt helpless. Now, however, she was blushing slightly.
"Nijika's getting all dizzy from a scumbag's sweet talk…"
Beside her, Yamada Ryō commented on her friend's reaction.
She could not let Kamijou Mutsuki just win Nijika over directly. Otherwise, as the middleman, wouldn't she lose her cut?
Nijika: ?
What a blessing it is to have a friend like you.
"W-Who's getting dizzy? Ryō, don't talk nonsense!"
Nijika had only been a little shy at first, but after Ryō said that, her heartbeat became harder to control.
"Ahem, stop messing around. Let's talk business!"
Ijichi Seika, who had watched the whole thing, looked a bit dark-faced.
Good grief—flirting with her little sister right in front of her. Did he think she did not exist?
"Then, Kamijou Mutsuki, the anime you want us to voice is specifically…?"
Hearing her sister speak, Nijika also restrained the blush on her face and let her friend off the hook.
"As for that…"
After hearing Nijika's question, Kamijou Mutsuki thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "The project is unclear, the schedule undecided, and the script not yet written!"
After all, the script had to be purchased from the system. If he wrote it himself, the system would not recognize it.
However, if he truly failed to obtain the Bocchi the Rock! script in the end, it would not be too big of a problem for Kamijou Mutsuki to write one himself.
After all, even without the system's rewards, Bocchi the Rock! was still an excellent anime worth creating.
"Isn't that basically nothing at all?"
Even with Nijika's personality, she could not quite hold it together at this point.
So why exactly are you able to smile so confidently?
"What an interesting project!"
Yet Ryō seemed as if she had been moved, grabbing Kamijou Mutsuki's hand.
"I'm joining!"
"Don't just join everything!"
Nijika was genuinely feeling exhausted now.
"You brat, are you playing us for fools?"
Seika's attitude was far more direct.
"Although those things aren't ready yet, the anime's production has already been decided."
Granted, it was decided by him personally today, but that was not much different.
"I believe you'll definitely like it once it's out."
"At least wait until those things are confirmed before coming to us…"
Nijika let out a soft sigh, sounding somewhat helpless.
"So as long as I finalize the project, Nijika will agree to me?"
"Eh, well…"
This time, Nijika was the one left speechless.
However, Kamijou Mutsuki had no intention of making her answer right now.
After all, unlike last time, even MyGO!!!!! had not finished airing yet—let alone Bocchi the Rock!, which did not even have a newly created folder yet.
This was just to let them be mentally prepared in advance. Anyway, once the affection level was raised a bit later on, wouldn't this kind of thing be easily within reach?
"Well then, let's leave it at that for today."
As he said this, Kamijou Mutsuki stood up, preparing to leave.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head out first. See you~"
The matter at STARRY had only been an accident. Kamijou Mutsuki still had other things to do today.
Nijika, who had not quite reacted in time, subconsciously reached out as if to stop him, but all she saw was the boy's departing back.
"Kamijou-kun… what a strange person…"
A weirdo like her friend Ryō, but not a bad person.
Mama Nijika came to this conclusion about the boy after spending a day with him.
After leaving STARRY, Kamijou Mutsuki did not continue exercising. Instead, he called a car and headed to RiNG.
His target for today was Yahata Umiri.
After all, once episode three finished airing, it would be Umiri-sensei's debut in the story. Naturally, Kamijou Mutsuki had to gather the voice actors in advance.
Originally, Uika should have been included as well, but unexpectedly she had delivered herself to his door.
As for why she was waiting for Kamijou Mutsuki at RiNG, it was naturally because he had asked Taki-san for help.
PS: The author thought the STARRY arc would only take a little space, but didn't expect to write this much. A miscalculation.
PS2: Regarding PA-san, the author has removed the settings of the lip piercing and tongue piercing here. Just treat it as a shift in the world line. After all, it's the author's novel, so the author makes the decisions. The author really likes PA-san—she hits the XP perfectly.
