Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

Of course, if it weren't for those few memories, she wouldn't have been certain of her feelings for Mo Jun, would she?

Chapter 172 Nanami's First Formal Voice Acting Practice (2 Updates)

"How are you feeling? Are you nervous?" Gao Yumo said to Qi Hai. "Don't be nervous, I'm here too. This is our scene together. If you're nervous, then I'll be in trouble."

"Phew~" Qi Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I couldn't help it, I didn't expect Mo Jun to call Aunt Yang Kui as well, I was indeed a little nervous."

She was still too embarrassed to call her mother in front of Mo Jun and Aunt Yang Kui, and besides, she and Gao Yu Mo hadn't done "that" yet, so calling her mother now felt too early. However, even though she was ready, she still couldn't be so hasty.

"Snap out of it." Gao Yumo walked over to Qi Hai, who was lost in thought, and ruffled her hair.

Nanami then realized what was happening. "Sorry, I was daydreaming."

"It's okay. It's normal to be nervous for your first official voice acting performance. But we're voice actors, and there will be many more times like this in the future. So what you need to do is overcome this nervousness! What voice actors need to do is to bring their voices into the character and deliver their best performance to the audience who will hear it!"

Gao Yumo comforted Qi Hai and shared his understanding of voice actors, believing that they are the ones who give characters their souls.

Nanami nodded seriously and rubbed her face: "I'm ready!"

She's aiming to become a professional voice actress! She wouldn't be nervous at a time like this!

"Great, that's exactly the feeling I wanted!" Gao Yumo said happily as she saw Qi Hai perk up, and walked to her seat.

The staff outside pretended not to see what was happening inside. After all, the person inside was the young master, and her boss was watching right next to her. She was covered in sweat and didn't care about anything else. She just needed to do her job. She patted the microphone and said, "You two can begin."

Nanami and Gao Yumo gave her an OK sign and began their first attempt.

In front of them was the latest finished product of the game brought by Gao Yumo, projected on the wall. After all, it felt like the dubbing couldn't be done well without looking at the screen. He wasn't worried about the staff outside leaking the secret, since she wouldn't dare. Of course, she had signed a confidentiality agreement. If none of the girls knew how to use the equipment here, they wouldn't even need her.

The girls had actually thought of this too. Kato Megumi was already considering whether she should learn it herself next time. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if the game they had worked so hard to make was leaked.

As for voice acting, Gao Yumo has no problem at all; he can perfectly cooperate with Qi Hai no matter what.

The voice acting for Nanami surprised the girls, Yang Kui, and the staff outside; they didn't expect it to be so good!

It felt like she was Miyamizu Mitsuha herself. Even though the staff member didn't know the plot, it was as if she was there. This was something she had never experienced in all her years of voice acting work.

The reason for this is simple: Gao Yumo is subtly infusing his voice with emotion, which is his understanding of the two characters in the game. However, he is very careful with the amount of emotion he is infusing, so that the listener will not fall into a hallucination, but he can better improve the effect of the voice acting. This is something he has figured out on his own.

There is another effect, which is resonance. He will resonate with the people he voices with. This is something Gao Yumo just discovered because Qi Hai's level has just surpassed her own. This is the result of the resonance between her and Gao Yumo.

It can improve the level of those who dub with Gao Yumo. The principle is probably that they hear the emotions that Gao Yumo puts in, deepen their understanding of the character, and then perform beyond their own level.

“Great job, Nanami,” Shiro said to Nanami as she walked out of the dubbing studio.

"Thank you, Mashiro." Nanami nodded with a smile. She had just been completely immersed in playing the role of Mitsuha, and after hearing Mo Jun's voice, she felt that her understanding of Mitsuha was even stronger. She believed that she had performed exceptionally well this time.

This is all thanks to Mo Jun. She didn't know Gao Yumo's abilities; she just assumed it was because she was by Mo Jun's side.

"Although you're strong too, Nanami is definitely better." Eriri praised Nanami, glancing at Takahashi Mo who had also come out.

Gao Yumo smiled, not paying attention to Ying Lili's words; he knew what she meant.

However, Nanami clearly disagreed: "Mo Jun is far more capable than me; I can't compare to him."

Eriri crossed her arms and said, "Of course I know. He is Gao Yumo, a prodigy, a monster. That's why he was eliminated. That's why Nanami is so great."

Nanami understood Eriri's meaning: Mo Jun was too strong, so strong that there was no need to compare with him, therefore she was stronger. Although it was a strange logic, she understood it and nodded.

"If that's the case, I accept your compliment, thank you."

For Qi Hai, this was both recognition and praise for Gao Yumo. After all, Gao Yumo was eliminated because he was too amazing, wasn't he? Since this wasn't a forced compliment, she accepted it.

"That's great, Nanami." Yang Kui also came over, holding Sagiri's hand with one of hers.

After all, this was Sagiri's first time going out in a long time. If Gao Yumo hadn't called Yang Kui over, she would have been staying in the dubbing studio with Gao Yumo while he was doing his dubbing.

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment, Aunt Yangkui." Qi Hai suddenly blushed, clearly thinking of her own thoughts. If there weren't so many people around, she would have called her "Mother."

The others gave her strange looks. What was wrong with her all of a sudden? Why was she blushing when Yang Kui spoke to her?

Gao Yumo didn't quite understand, but it shouldn't be a big deal, since Nanami is indeed easily embarrassed.

The staff left after Gao Yumo and her team finished their voice acting, leaving only Gao Yumo and her team there.

“Xiao Mo is great too, she works very well with Qi Hai, so Xiao Mo called me here for this, right?” Yang Kui said, looking at Gao Yu Mo.

"Yes, as expected of Yang Kui, she guessed it right away." Gao Yumo snapped her fingers.

"That's right." Gao Yuyangkui said proudly. This was her understanding of her Xiao Mo. She dared to say that no one else dared to say that she was the best!

"What? We don't know anything yet! Tell us!" Eriri asked curiously. "Don't just let the two of you know, we want to know too!"

"It's just voice acting. We've got the male and female leads, so we need to find people for the supporting roles, right? But we don't have any connections, do we? So who else can we ask?" Gao Yumo made it very clear.

The girls looked at Gao Yuyangkui, who was making a peace sign. "That's right, it's me. I'll help you find it, but of course, according to our previous agreement, it won't be free."

She said that Xiao Mo had said that when they worked together, it wouldn't be a normal relationship; it would be a business matter.

“Of course, I’ll have Kaguya talk to you about this later. I hope you’re free,” Gao Yumo said. Kaguya had already agreed to take charge of this aspect, which was also a way for Gao Yumo to mentor her. Kaguya also wanted to help Gao Yumo with some things. She might not be good at other club matters, but she believed she could handle this.

"Kaguya? I understand. I'll have her contact me later. As for the voice actress, I'll talk to her about it too. Is everything alright for Xiao Mo?" Yang Kui looked at Gao Yu Mo with a smile. His Xiao Mo was starting to stand on his own. Although the club had just started, Yang Kui was very confident in him. He believed that Xiao Mo would succeed.

Watching Yang Kui and Gao Yumo's conversation, the girls understood that it was Gao Yumo's confidence and his attempt to improve.

Gao Yumo wants to achieve his dream through his own efforts.

Although Gao Yumo and Yang Kui both understood that this was fundamentally flawed from the start, why would they need to find Yang Kui through their own channels, or even the Gao family, one of the four strongest families?

They both understood that this was actually just them playing house, a unique way of playing, and that was the only way they could think of it.

They say they'll handle things officially, but how could Yang Kui not give Gao Yumo preferential treatment? How could Gao Yu's family's companies not give Gao Yumo preferential treatment? So these things are untenable from the start, relying on oneself or anything like that.

Gao Yu 0.8 Mo also understood that his initial desire to achieve his dream on his own was unrealistic. However, he had been trying his best to achieve it on his own, which was why he rarely contacted Yang Kui about this matter. But he also knew that he couldn't escape it.

Take this voice actor situation, for example. Couldn't he find a voice actor? Of course not. But why did he choose Yang Kui? Because he missed her and wanted to see her. It's that simple. He's too lazy to think about it anymore. Anyway, his name is Gao Yumo, and he's a member of the Gao Yu family. Why can't he use the resources of the Gao Yu family?

Although he still won't rely on his family's resources, his club will still do what they can on their own.

Actually, Gao Yumo herself was perfectly capable of handling the voice acting role this time. If Eriri hadn't said that it's better not to make the first work so good, many things wouldn't have been so troublesome.

He is, after all, the young master, and there is no escaping it. Many things are not as simple as he thinks, so use them when necessary. Gao Yumo has already come to terms with it.

(My computer suddenly crashed with a blue screen while I was writing this, which gave me a fright. Luckily, it automatically saved.)

(I'll probably only post two updates today, sorry).

Chapter 173 "The Previous Life" (1st Update)

"Oh, so that's what you were talking about." Eriri nodded after listening, understanding. This was something they had discussed, so she wasn't surprised. As for Gao Yumo and Aunt Yang Kui's matter, they would let him handle it himself; they couldn't interfere and wouldn't say anything more.

“That’s right.” Gao Yumo looked at Qi Hai. “Soon, once Yang Kui has settled things, we’ll be doing our first official recording. I hope Qi Hai can maintain her current form by then.”

"I will!" Nanami said firmly. Even if she had been unsure before, she had just tried and was confident she could handle the job. So what did she have to worry about? She just needed to show her best self! She could do it!

"Great spirit!" Gao Yumo clapped her hands encouragingly. "That's the spirit we need."

"That's right, Nanami, that's how it should be. We all believe in you." Eriri also gave a thumbs up in praise.

"That's right, keep going, we'll all be with you," Shi Yu said with a smile.

"Go Nanami! We'll always support you," Kato Megumi cheered for Nanami.

"Go for it!" Sagiri cheered for Nanami, even though she was suppressing her fear of being outside.

Mashiro even walked right up to Nanami and grabbed her arm, saying, "Good luck, Nanami."

Nanami looked at everyone with deep emotion, tears streaming down her face involuntarily: "You! Everyone!"

She wiped away her tears and clenched her fists even more firmly: "I will definitely try my best!"

"Great job, Nanami!" Yang Kui smiled at Nanami, encouraging her. Yang Kui had a very good impression of Nanami; she was a well-behaved child.

"That's more like it, we're really looking forward to it." Gao Yumo walked to her side, patted her head, and said with a smile.

"Mmm!" Nanami smiled brightly. She was no longer nervous about voice acting! Because she had everyone by her side! And Mo-kun!

"Why don't we record the music while we're at it? The equipment here is definitely better than your own, right?" Eriri suddenly thought of something as everyone was getting ready to go home.

“Indeed, Eriri always comes up with good ideas today, you’ve improved.” Utaha nodded in agreement, looked at Eriri, and pretended to cover her mouth in surprise, which made Eriri clench her fists and her veins throb.

"You bastard! Don't you feel comfortable unless you're roasting me?"

"I don't know, but I feel pretty comfortable right now."

Gao Yumo ignored their daily routine and thought for a moment. Actually, the equipment at home wasn't necessarily worse than this place. His second basement had a complete set of professional-grade equipment. However, he wasn't ready to reveal the secret of the basement yet. This was a surprise, and he couldn't tell anyone so soon. Besides, some parts weren't finished yet.

Besides, what if they go down to the third basement level and see what they see? The Minecraft part hasn't been shown yet. Let's wait until his skills demonstrate their special abilities and the girls are more used to them.

So, as expected, I had no choice but to agree.

“Sure, let’s record here then, but we’ll have to go to a different recording studio, since the voice-over and the music aren’t exactly the same.” Gao Yumo agreed to Eriri’s suggestion.

The others didn't have any objections, or rather, they really wanted to hear Gao Yumo produce music live, as they had never seen it before!

"Xiao Mo's music? I'm really looking forward to it!" Yang Kui was also very excited, hugging Gao Yumo's arm as she spoke. She hadn't heard Xiao Mo sing in a long time. The girls looked at Aunt Yang Kui's actions and sighed, "Their friendship is so good."

"Just look forward to it. I've actually already written the theme song. I'll let you hear it." Gao Yumo said with a smile, surprising the girls.

"You even have a theme song?" Eriri said in surprise. "I thought it would just be instrumental music, since it's text-based."

Gao Yumo scratched his head: "Are you that surprised? How could there be no theme song? Besides, you guys play Plants vs. Zombies, right? Doesn't it have a song in it?"

"Or is it that you haven't finished the game yet, so you didn't hear it? Although that song is indeed a bit simple, it's not like I can't write songs," Gao Yumo explained.

"Well, I was just surprised when I heard it, but thinking about it carefully, a new song doesn't seem that surprising to you anymore, Mo." Eriri recovered. She was just startled when she heard it suddenly. She had already thought about how amazing Gao Yu Mo was. What was a song compared to that?

“Indeed, Mo-kun always surprises people,” Kato Megumi agreed. The girls all nodded, even Mashiro agreed with this statement.

"Alright, I'll sing it for you guys then." Gao Yumo shrugged as she listened to their comments.

The group arrived at the recording studio. Gao Yumo picked up the guitar provided in the studio, tried it out, and thought it was alright, so she decided to make do.

After thinking for a moment, I opened the system and upgraded both my guitar and music skills from LV7 to LV9. Since I'm going to do this, I might as well go all the way! I'll let the girls hear my most perfect singing voice right away!

"I'm starting!" Gao Yumo said, and the girls listened intently, all looking forward to it.

If we're talking about the theme song for "Your Name," this is definitely it! "Zenzenzense"!

When the song ended, the girls were incredibly excited!

"This is amazing! Mo! This song is amazing!" Eriri's excited voice couldn't be contained. This was before Gao Yu Mo had even put his emotions into it. Although she really wanted to try, she decided against recording the song in one take. But if she did put his emotions into it, maybe the girls would be able to see the male and female leads.

"Yes." Even Kato Megumi's eyes were filled with affection, though she still didn't show any expression.

"Haha, isn't it great!" Gao Yumo walked out with her guitar and placed it aside. This song really is the perfect match for "Your Name"!

"That's amazing! Mo Jun, both your guitar playing and your singing are perfect!" Qi Hai exclaimed excitedly.

"Xiao Mo, this song is really good. I'm even more looking forward to your game now. This song alone will make your game a hit, right?" Yang Kui said.

"I think so too. A good game really needs a good song. Of course, I'm even more looking forward to the movie. Let's use this song as the theme song then!" Gao Yumo was not modest at all, after all, it was a good song.

"Of course!"

"Indeed."

The girls had no objections and didn't think they couldn't make a movie; it was just a matter of time!

After finishing recording the music and returning home, Yang Kui came back with her. It had been several days since she'd been home; she must have a new girl with her now, right? She needed to get to know her, otherwise, having too many people at once wouldn't be good.

The girls disbanded and went to do their own things. Now that the game was over, they could do their own things too. For example, Eriri could finally start drawing fan art again after so long!

"This is Yukino Yukinoshita." In the living room, Takaha Mo called Yukino down and introduced her to Haruki, "Yukino, this is my mother, Takaha Haruki."

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Yukino Yukinoshita." Yukino introduced herself very formally, and even she was a little nervous when she suddenly saw Gao Yumo's mother.

"Hello, Yukino, you're really beautiful. Just call me Aunt Yang Kui." Yang Kui looked at the girl in front of her and smiled. What a pretty girl! Xiao Mo is really capable! No wonder she's her Xiao Mo.

"You flatter me," Yukino said modestly.

Watching their interaction, Gao Yumo smiled. Yang Kui could get along well with the girls at home. She was only herself at home. When she was working, she was no different from Yukino's mother. She wondered if Yukino would find it strange if she knew, but it seemed that no one knew this. None of the girls knew.

“The other one is her older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno. You’ll probably recognize her at a glance; they look quite alike,” Gao Yumo continued. “She’s not home today; she went out to play and probably won’t be back until tonight.”

Yang Nai is already 490 years old, and most of her hobbies are outdoors, so it's normal that she's not at home. Besides, she usually goes to school, but her school isn't far from home, so she usually comes back, which is different from what she said before.

"I see." Yang Kui nodded, surprised that they had caught everyone in one fell swoop.

"Alright, let me show you the finished product of our game. Although it doesn't have voice acting or music yet, the rest is complete. Yukino, come along too."

"No, I'd rather wait until everything is finished before I play. That would be much more exciting, wouldn't it?" Yang Kui shook her head and refused.

"Me too." Yukino thought so too. Although she had only just learned about Takayu Mo's club and game, she already understood the plot. It was a great story. Such a story would definitely fall short in the final product, right?
