Oh no! What am I going to do now?!

Having finished the radio program work for Tales of the Ten Thousand Blades, Kazakami Ritsu found that she was unexpectedly welcoming a long-lost moment of leisure.

With the help of the moving company, Kazakami Ritsu quickly moved into the private apartment Sano Nana currently lived in Chiyoda Ward.

On the first day of living alone with another girl, Kazakami Ritsu noticed the potential dangers in life.

Because… Sano Nana, this fellow, actually didn’t know how to cook!

Inside the apartment kitchen, Kazakami Ritsu, with a solemn face, dumped the black object in the pot—which emitted a strong burnt smell and whose original ingredients were completely unrecognizable—into the trash can.

After resolving various situations, Kazakami Ritsu, who had suffered double blows to her mind and body, stared at the blonde girl who had buried her head like an ostrich and spoke faintly.

“Sano-san, from now on, I will be responsible for cooking. How about we count it as offsetting the rent?”

Sano Nana, who was hanging her head and facing the wall, nodded, considering it an agreement to Kazakami Ritsu’s proposal.

To celebrate the arrival of her new roommate, Sano Nana specifically found a recipe online, intending to show off her skills to Kazakami Ritsu.

Now she had succeeded; someone indeed showed off their skills.

It was just that Kazakami Ritsu had displayed her hidden strength in housekeeping, making Nana realize that her casual life of living alone was gone forever.

Kazakami Ritsu skillfully handled the ingredients in her hands, but in her heart, she was crazily roasting that blonde girl.

After serving the fragrant dishes on the dining table, Kazakami Ritsu exchanged glances with Sano Nana, who was waiting for the meal at the table.

“I have work later, so you’ll have to figure out dinner yourself.”

“Eh? I’m free later. Can you take me with you…”

Sano Nana, who had picked up a mouthful of vegetables with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, was stunned, revealing a pitiful expression on her face.

Kazakami Ritsu narrowed her eyes, staring at Sano Nana without saying a word.

Sano Nana’s brain spun rapidly, thinking of a reason she had mentioned before.

“I want to learn from you. As I said before, I want to become an equally amazing voice actor together with you…”

Listening to Sano Nana’s feigned aggrieved voice, Kazakami Ritsu sighed with a headache.

“This isn’t something I can decide either. But… I can ask the producer.”

Producer Kurau Koaki, for some reason, had an exceptionally good attitude towards her and Teraoin.

However, this wasn’t a reason for her to cause trouble for others.

Thinking this, Kazakami Ritsu picked up her phone and opened LINE.

Kazakami Ritsu had a love-hate relationship with this app that allowed one to see if messages had been read.

Glancing at the unread content, the “Female Lead Alliance” with only three people actually had a full 99+ unread messages. Ignored for now.

Opening Producer Kurau Koaki’s chat window, Kazakami Ritsu carefully chose her words and sent a message.

Just as she wanted to switch out to see what that senior, with whom she had only collaborated once, was chatting about with another unidentified industry senior in the group…

The reply from that producer lady had already popped up in the chat window.

[Kurau Koaki: It’s fine. It just so happens that I plan to release some news to warm up after today’s recording ends.] (Read)

Looking at the chat bubble that instantly turned to “Read,” Kazakami Ritsu expressed her gratitude for this producer’s tolerance with sincere feelings.

[Kurau Koaki: Miss Kazakami, you and Miss Teraoin’s performance exceeded my expectations, so I also look forward to our next collaboration.] (Read)

‘Ugh, she’s really… I’m crying to death.’

‘If all producers were as gentle as Producer Kurau, how wonderful would that be?’

Warmed by Kurau Koaki, the corners of Kazakami Ritsu’s mouth curled up slightly. After replying with a sentence, she switched to the small group chat.

After reading the unread content above, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

The first thing that senior sent was a screenshot. The content of the screenshot was the data of the radio program uploaded to Niconico.

Playback count 1.36 million, comments as high as 200,000 plus? What the hell?

The colorful changes in expression on Kazakami Ritsu’s face attracted the attention of Sano Nana beside her.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Was it rejected? Hmm? Wh-what is this!”

The blonde girl who came over talking to herself let out an exclamation after seeing the content displayed on the phone screen clearly.

Kazakami Ritsu continued to look down, only to find that her senior had posted screenshots of some highly popular comments.

‘Why are the vast majority of those high-popularity comments related to me?’

Unable to believe reality, Kazakami Ritsu clicked the link to jump to the video page. The cover was a photo taken at some unknown time.

The two people on the cover were wearing clothes of the same style but different colors, looking quite pleasing to the eye.

Ignoring the content, she scrolled directly to the comment section and looked at the few comments ranked at the top.

[Damn it, fantasizing about Destiny and Meihime together or something… But I just want to give them a home.]

[Hiss, is that child voicing Meihime really a rookie? Judging from the performance, her strength is really good.]

[Is this program actually a mother-daughter group this time… The program team knows how to create program effects.]

[That performance by Meihime… damn it! Now my mind is full of that scene.]

Setting aside the vast majority of content related to the “mother-daughter” relationship between Destiny and Meihime, most of the comments were positive.

But Kazakami Ritsu couldn’t be happy at all right now, because she discovered that in the eyes of the audience…

Relying on just one episode of a radio program, she actually showed a trend of becoming a voice actor comedian in the audience’s impression, just like Takahashi Rie!

‘I don’t want that kind of thing! Actually, I’ve always been taking the cool and aloof route!’

Sano Nana, who got the scoop immediately, cast envious gazes at a certain person in the center of the incident.

‘So nice… When will I be able to win the audience’s love like this?’

Kazakami Ritsu put down her phone and sighed with a heavy heart.

“My life seems to have been declared over after this radio program aired.”

“What nonsense are you talking about! Aren’t you popular now!”

Listening to Kazakami Ritsu’s grief-stricken lament, Sano Nana was thoroughly jealous.

‘Why! Why is it like this!’

‘Clearly, I was the one who received the character dubbing role first! Why can’t I get radio programs or lead roles?!’

Thus, the two fell into the same state of autism due to different things.

After grieving for a while, Kazakami Ritsu picked up her chopsticks again, glancing at Sano Nana, who was even sadder than herself, with a face full of confusion.

‘No, what’s wrong with this guy again? I’m about to embark on the road of social death, what does it have to do with her?’

‘Could it be… she also wants to become the main force when netizens battle with meme images in the future like me?’

Thinking that she might be made into various meme stickers by fans in the future, Kazakami Ritsu felt that the life before her seemed to have fallen into boundless darkness.
