"...I can't help it. I originally wanted to devote myself to dubbing training with classmate Li Nian during this period of time and forget about it temporarily, but I didn't expect that it has been completed now...When I think about having nothing to do in the future, I can't help but think about the results of the audition again. I think that whether I pass the audition or not, it is an opportunity, and I should sort out my feelings."

“Even if the outcome is uncertain?”

“Be prepared first.”

"Preparation to pass the selection?"

“So is the preparation for losing the election.”

"… Come to think of it, there are a lot of people in the training class, right? Looking back at the past, what did those who were selected to join the agency and those who were not selected do afterwards?"

"If you are selected, you will enter the agency and become a voice actor. You will start to take jobs. You will have to audition for various projects as a voice actor and compete with other voice actor seniors. Only if you are selected will you get jobs."

Just as Li Nian knew, the amount of money was so high that it was frightening. Li Nian sighed, "...As expected, even if you become a professional voice actor, you still have to rely on your ability to make a living."

"Is such that."

"What about the others? I mean, those who were not chosen."

"Because the training class only gives you one chance, there is no chance to challenge the training class offered by the same firm again."

"This... is also a kind of mercy in a sense."

"Kindness? ... You're right. I didn't understand it before. I thought, isn't it okay to let a good voice actor try until he's satisfied? But now that I think about it, saying no to someone who's not good enough might be a kind of kindness."

"...But there are more than one voice actor agency in the world. It's okay to try another one, right?"

"Of course you can. Continuing to attend training classes held by other agencies is one option. Some people also changed their goals and finally found a theater troupe to join... Of course, some people gave up. This is the choice of most people."

Qingshan seemed to have a detailed understanding of the end of his predecessors.

"...If, I mean if, I lose the election, will this also be your choice, Qingshan?"

"...I don't know, but there's a high probability that my parents will ask me to give up, and then...I'm afraid I will really have to give up."

Li Nian's brows furrowed even deeper.

Failed, so give up - this was exactly what Li Nian had expected.

But because her parents asked her to give up, Qingshan had to give up? ... Such a passive choice was what Li Nian hated and denied.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you have to give up just because your parents tell you to?"

"Originally, my family was against it..."

"I know that, but haven't you been through this long despite all the opposition? Yes, even though you've been working part-time and starving while also balancing schoolwork and voice actor training, it's a miserable life."

"...Yeah, now that I think about it, my life is too miserable. I really don't want to live like this anymore."

"…If you really don't want to work so hard anymore, you can give up, but if you don't continue because your parents object, you are leaving the choice of your life to others, even if they are your parents."

"I have no choice. I can hold on now because my family is paying for Sobu High School's tuition. But they said they would only let me try this once. If I have to earn the tuition myself, I won't be able to earn that much money just by working part-time."

money.

This word has stumped many heroes.

Li Nian once struggled with this word - but not now.

"It doesn't matter. I will support you." So Li Nian thought about saying this.

"..."

Seeing Qingshan's stunned reaction, Li Nian realized his gaffe. He really didn't care about the money, but he also knew that he was not Qingshan's parent and did not have the position to do so. He could not treat his friend in such a way as a charity. Qingshan himself was not the type of person who would accept such charity, so he quickly changed his words.

"I mean, I can lend you money. What's that called? A student loan? Yeah, that's it."

Qingshan came back to his senses and laughed out loud: "You really intend to support me to the end... I know that if it's classmate Li Nian, it would be easy for you to come up with the money. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept it."

"...I knew you would say that, Qingshan. Is it not possible to borrow it?"

"…It's not just about money. I was just thinking that no matter what, I should go back and talk to my parents again."

"You are a girl who ran away from home because of being scolded."

"Yes, I was scolded badly at that time. I still remember the day I left home. My father yelled, 'You unfilial daughter! Why are you being a crappy voice actor? How can you ever have enough food in the future? Stop right there! Don't even think about coming back after you leave this door!' I also yelled back, 'I can't stay in this crappy place and have to look at your stinky face every day. I don't want to come back anyway! I'm leaving!' Then I picked up my suitcase, bought a ticket and ran to Chiba."

Aoyama used his voice actor skills to vividly portray his father and himself at that time.

"It was a wonderful family drama. It's a pity that I didn't get to watch it in person."

Li Nian suddenly felt the vivid picture and laughed out loud, knowing that Qingshan, who could describe the situation in such a joking way, was just angry with his parents, but they were not to the extent of hating each other and really considering each other as enemies.

We are still a family after all.

"Thinking carefully, if my family had agreed straightforwardly, I might not be here, because my father said I could never do it, so I swore to do it to show him. On the other hand, if I hadn't been scolded away, I might not be here."

"He got so hot-headed that he rode on the momentum of a rebellious man to where he is now. Young people can understand that."

"But I can't let my brain get so excited... I often wonder if all this is worth it. I didn't dare to think about it before, for fear of coming to the conclusion that it's not worth it, which would make me unable to persevere."

"Are you starting to think deeply now?"

"Yes, I feel compelled to think about it."

"Then think it through before making a decision. But you must make your own choices and take responsibility for your choices. Don't let your parents decide for you."

"...That's absolutely right. But, can I also seek advice from others?"

"To whom?"

"For example, what about you, Li Nian?"

Li Nian was stunned: "To me?"

"Yes, if it's you, do you think I should continue to work hard as a voice actor? Whether it's continuing to work hard after becoming a voice actor, or trying again."

Being stared at by Qingshan.

It seems that Li Nian’s words may be of great reference value.

Li Nian was silent for a while.

He didn't want to interfere with Qingshan's choice with his own ideas.

But at this point, he knew he had interfered enough.

His every move and every word influenced Qingshan's thinking.

It is impossible for people not to influence each other.

Since Qingshan asked for his opinion, he might as well just express it.

So Li Nian spoke anyway.

"…I am a person who has walked through the gates of hell. Because I was so close to death, I feel that being alive is particularly precious."

It seemed to have nothing to do with the current topic of chat, but Qingshan did not interrupt, but just listened carefully. She didn't know Li Nian's past, but she knew that as an exorcist, Li Nian would face such a dangerous situation.

Li Nian continued.

"But, what thrives must decline, what lives must perish, this is an immutable theorem, life will eventually come to an end, it is a rare life in this world, we should live with a clear conscience and enjoy life to the fullest, don't die regretting what you haven't done, just can't close your eyes."

"...That sounds pretty sad."

"It's just something I say. I know it's a bit pretentious. If you want to listen, listen. If you don't want to listen, just forget it."

"No, I will keep it in mind."

"What you need to remember is not some truth, but you have to remember that in reality, there are people like me in Sakurasou who support you, so no matter what you choose, Aoyama, you will have a place to go and help."

Qingshan smiled.

"This is truly a sentence that reassures me more than anything else."

Chapter 479 Selection Results

After that, Qingshan's whole mental state seemed to become much more relaxed.

She listened to Li Nian's advice and allowed herself to take a good rest now that she had finished the exam - both physically and mentally.

She no longer looked worried and no longer bothered about the test results - because she had already prepared herself mentally for failure.

Pick a few out of sixty.

The probability of being eliminated is greater.

These days, she has been sorting out her feelings and thinking about her future, and Li Nian's words have become a good reference.

——Life is short, so enjoy it while you can.

To sum up, that's what that person meant.

In fact, the Li Nian that Qingshan met exuded this casual feeling.

He is doing various things peacefully and comfortably, practicing, living, working. He is a person who obviously has a mountain of things to do, but he always appears to be calm. Now that I think about it, is it because everything he does brings him joy?

Qingshan knew that he could not reach this person's level, and that there was an essential difference between him and Li Nian, that is, the difference between the strong and the weak. The strength of that person was that he could support him to live recklessly... But if he thought about it carefully, perhaps this attitude itself was actually part of Li Nian's strength.

After listening to Li Nian's words, you can understand that person is living on the premise of facing death.

For a young man in his prime years with a bright future ahead of him and a long time to come, this kind of thought should be incredible, but when it appeared in Li Nian, Qingshan felt it was very natural, not only because he knew that the exorcist was such a dangerous profession, but also because that person had the feeling of an adult.

Compared with death, all kinds of hardships and difficulties seem insignificant. It is for this reason that the person appears fearless.

After listening to this person talk about the concept of "death", Aoyama couldn't help but start thinking about his own death, imagining himself closing his eyes at the end of his life without becoming a voice actor.

There is a feeling of regret and emptiness.

Isn't this what it feels like to have a life without any dreams come true?

Therefore, I want to achieve my goal no matter what, even if I have to do it again and again - this obsession becomes stronger and stronger.

……

……

Two days later.

These two days are rare peaceful days for Li Nian.

Mainly because Nayuta has become very well-behaved recently since she started writing the new book.

Although she would still find various opportunities to stick to him, at least she didn't do all the creepy new things he did before - Li Nian didn't know whether she called his name and did something to relieve her desire in the lonely night, because the soundproof barrier had been built, and any movement in the room would not reach Li Nian's ears. At least his shorts were no longer targeted and disappeared inexplicably.

However, he could still feel the child's scorching gaze directed at every part of his body from behind.

Li Nian pretended not to notice.

Another thing worth mentioning is that after the scene of the executive committee was over, the rumor spread to the class, letting everyone know that Li Nian stood up for Sagami. There was a lot of discussion about it, and some people didn't understand why Li Nian, who once seemed to want to kill Sagami, would help her.

It also feels strange that Hikigaya, who has always seemed to be a nobody and has no sense of existence, would jump out to criticize Sagami's behavior.

But people who really know these two people will not have any doubts, they will just think that this is something they would do.

Yuigahama was very satisfied with Li Nian's handling of the matter. She learned the details of what happened from Yukinoshita and knew that Sagami's problem had been solved. Hikigaya, who played the villain, did not end up being hated. Instead, because he blamed Sagami and spoke out everyone's thoughts, he was mistakenly regarded as "a reserved but warm-hearted guy who likes the school festival and the executive committee as a group." It seems that his evaluation has even risen.

Hikigaya himself was very unhappy about this, he hated the character who was put on him without permission and made him sick, but he hated even more the extra work that was assigned to him because he was trusted.

Yuigahama was very happy about this, and came over to thank Li Nian happily, saying something like "You are amazing, Li Nian, for being able to handle Xiaoqi's self-explosion!"

Li Nian did feel that if Hikigaya was not careful, he would become a heretic in the group and an object of disgust pointed at by thousands of people, but he did not think that it was all his credit that turned Hikigaya's reputation around. He heard from Hikigaya himself that it was Sagami, as the victim who was criticized, who excused him and helped to create that strange personality.

In fact, Sagami had already realized that the two were acting for him, and he privately found Li Nian and Hikigaya and bowed his head to thank them sincerely.

Hikigaya seemed to be unaccustomed to being thanked so sincerely, and he hesitated to cover up, adding, "I didn't do it for you, don't get me wrong, huh." Such pretentious and tsundere words were certainly not as pleasing to the eye as the blonde with twin ponytails in Li Nian's club, and only made Li Nian feel sick.

Li Nian himself accepted Sagami's thanks very calmly, and then asked Sagami about the situation of the executive committee.

Sagami smiled and said that the current executive committee has become truly united and more motivated than before. The same is true for her. She has truly integrated into the group and has become a person that the executive committee members truly rely on.

Li Nian knew that she had become a recognized executive chairman - this was the evaluation she deserved because she was doing a good job.

Judging from Sagami's own condition, although he still seemed cautious and restrained in front of Li Nian, he was obviously much more relaxed.

Li Nian thought this was great.

Afterwards, Sagami walked up to Gogen who was watching on the side and bowed silently, which confused Gogen who was watching the show on the side. But Sagami didn't say anything. After bowing, he smiled at her and left.

There was no communication, but Gogen also felt more clearly than ever the change in this woman whom she had disliked before, and said, "Sagami Minami...she finally behaves like a human being now."

"It seems like I gave you a slap in the face to wake you up. That's a great accomplishment, Coach Gogen."

"…It has nothing to do with me. I am more concerned about when the results of the review will come out."

The review result that Wu Geng mentioned was the review result of the essay contest she participated in. She had already completely revised the manuscript and synchronized it to the chapters published online. After that, she just needed to wait for the popularity to ferment and the review result to come out.
