Noticing the gaze from beside her, Kazakami Ritsu narrowed her eyes and met it.
At this moment, Kirishima Shirono’s eyes were filled with three parts “want to see,” four parts “super want to see,” two parts “desperately want to see,” and one part “anticipation.”
“Not going to happen, idiot. Don’t even think about it.”
Kazakami Ritsu narrowed her eyes and rejected Kirishima Shirono’s thoughts without hesitation.
Kirishima Shirono, whose thoughts were exposed, coughed twice and shook her head with a solemn face.
“How could I have such a crude thought? I, Kirishima Shirono, read Osamu Dazai!”
“Oh, then what’s the last sentence of No Longer Human?”
“Awu… I, I haven’t reached that part yet.”
“Heh.”
After defeating Kirishima Shirono in just a few words, Kazakami Ritsu picked up her phone and started tapping away to question her senior.
[ArashiRinEnGaku: Why a maid cafe? Senior, do you work here?] (Read)
[World’s Number One Female Lead: No, I’m just very interested but have never been, so I wanted to drag you along to experience it.] (Read)
[ArashiRinEnGaku: ???] (Read)
‘This senior of mine really exudes the aura of the world’s cancer all over!’
Looking at the maid lady in a black and white maid outfit holding a sign at the entrance of Kasumi no Hana…
Kirishima Shirono swallowed and reached out to tug at Kazakami Ritsu’s sleeve.
“Hey, Kazakami, your senior couldn’t be thinking of…”
“No, she isn’t. Let’s go. Senior said she’s already waiting for us inside.”
Kazakami Ritsu, giving an immediate answer, looked up from her phone and took a step toward the shop before her with a solemn expression.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of wind chimes, a uniform shout erupted in the room.
“Welcome home, Master!”
Hearing the loud welcome ringing in her ears, Kazakami Ritsu stiffly turned her neck and looked around.
After spotting a familiar figure in a corner, Kazakami Ritsu led Kirishima Shirono, who seemed to have had her soul leave her body, to the table and sat down.
The girl, propping her chin on one hand, had a smile of seeing something interesting on her face.
“Uwah, such an interesting expression… Junior, good morning.”
After muttering in a low voice, Umemiya Hiro smiled and waved to Kazakami Ritsu and the others.
‘Hiss… I never noticed before that this senior of mine is actually a bad woman!’
Thinking this, Kazakami Ritsu mustered her courage, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Umemiya Hiro.
“Senior, if you keep teasing me like this, I’ll get angry too.”
Hearing the term “senior,” Kirishima Shirono’s soul returned to her body as if a switch had been triggered.
But after seeing the figure sitting opposite clearly, she froze in place again.
‘The senior Kazakami mentioned… is actually a girl!’
Just as Kirishima Shirono was staring blankly at Umemiya Hiro, Umemiya Hiro had already smiled and introduced herself.
“Hello, I am Umemiya Hiro from Aoni Production. I became a voice actor a year before Kazakami.”
“Ah, ah, hello Senior. I am Kazakami’s middle school classmate, Kirishima Shirono…”
Kirishima Shirono, having snapped back to reality again, blushed slightly and sat down on a chair somewhat awkwardly.
Umemiya Hiro pushed the menu on the table to Kazakami Ritsu, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
“As an apology for teasing you, this meal is on me. You can order anything you want, but you can’t waste it.”
Kazakami Ritsu picked up the menu without ceremony, frowning slightly at the dazzling array of dishes.
‘What the hell is this “Sweetheart Chu-Chu Magic Omelet Rice”… and what on earth is “Thump-Thump Heartbeat Milkshake”?’
‘Hey! Does this shop not have any food with slightly normal names?!’
With a sorrowful heart, Kazakami Ritsu looked up.
She saw a maid lady who had appeared by the table at some point, holding a notepad and pen, waiting for her to order.
“Um… I’d like to order an omelet rice. For the drink, grape juice…”
Under the expectant gaze of the maid lady, Kazakami Ritsu lowered her voice and began to order.
But in the next second, the maid lady repeated her order loudly.
“You would like the Sweetheart Chu-Chu Omelet Rice and the Puni-Puni Pon-Pon Grape, correct?”
“Um… yes…”
“Please wait a moment, Master. I will prepare it for you right away. What about the other two Masters?”
After cheerfully reporting the dish names, the maid lady looked at the other two at the table.
Seeing Kazakami Ritsu’s ordering experience, Kirishima Shirono had almost shrunk under the table.
‘This is too terrifying. Isn’t this just forced social death?’
“I-I’ll have the same as her.”
“Okay! Adding one more order of Sweetheart Chu-Chu Omelet Rice and Puni-Puni Pon-Pon Grape!”
Hearing the maid lady’s repetition, Kirishima Shirono silently buried her head in her arms.
Umemiya Hiro looked at the shy reactions of the two, her mood at this moment quite joyful.
‘Their reactions are so cute… But this Kazakami fellow seems quite open.’
Thinking this, Umemiya Hiro began to order.
“Please give me a Love Puka Pasta. For the drink, I’ll have the Bigu-Bigu Pipa Watermelon.”
Hearing Umemiya Hiro say these two embarrassing names in a flat tone…
Kazakami Ritsu instantly felt a great respect for this senior.
‘Truly worthy of being an old senior who has voiced magical girl characters for children’s shows.’
‘This kind of embarrassing feeling must have been experienced countless times in her work, right?’
Umemiya Hiro, as if dyed with a holy halo, descended a divine oracle upon the devout believer.
“Kazakami, you are still far from it. Some embarrassing lines have to be read with specific emotions without any pressure.”
“Yes, Senior. I am taught.”
Kazakami Ritsu had no room for rebuttal on this; she had not yet cultivated to the point where she could read such embarrassing lines without any fluctuation.
Kirishima Shirono, playing dead on the table, listened to their conversation in confusion.
‘Is voice acting such a sacred profession?’
‘But why… can’t I feel a trace of respect for these two voice actors?’
Just as Kirishima Shirono began to doubt life, the godlike senior-san suddenly spoke.
“Kazakami, I advise you to repent. A Sound Director I’ve worked with before contacted me, wanting me to voice a character next month.”
Kazakami Ritsu, who was mentioned for no reason, raised an eyebrow, seeming to ask what this had to do with her.
But before she could ask, Umemiya Hiro had already given an explanation.
“That Sound Director Yoshida found me and said he wanted me to ask if you are interested.”
Hearing that there seemed to be new work, Kazakami Ritsu’s spirits also lifted at this moment.
Regarding that Sound Director Yoshida, Kazakami Ritsu only had a vague impression in her mind.
It seemed to be the veteran Sound Director who recorded the promotional dubbing for her and Sano Nana when they took their official profile photos.
“Please enlighten me, Senior. What role does Sound Director Yoshida want me to play?”
