Bottom-tier voice actress wants to become a big star on VTuber.

Standing next to others who are generally 155cm tall, he is a full head taller. Being tall means having a large frame, and having a large frame means being able to support more muscle.

In the NBA, the height difference between a guard and a center is usually only 15 centimeters, but the weight difference can be 40 to 50 kilograms, which is the difference between featherweight and super heavyweight in boxing.

"Good afternoon, seniors~ Excuse me!" Aiba Hatsuha was the first to bow and greet everyone with great energy, her tall figure making the gesture seem particularly powerful.

"Good afternoon, Toru, Lily-chan, Mikoto-chan, Rion-chan, Chima-chan..." Sister Claire, as always, was calm and gentle, greeting the Eute members who were already present in turn.

Like Ah Miaomiao, Arus, who has a speech impediment and likes to glib tongue, curiously looked at the recording equipment while greeting, "Seniors, please, please take care of me this afternoon."

Suzuhara Lulu, who seemed a little socially awkward, greeted everyone in a low voice: "Hello, seniors, hello, Yuzuru-senpai... I look forward to your guidance today."

Yuhi Lily, Rindan Zun, Takamiya Rion, and Machida Chima also responded with smiles: "Nice to meet you~ Relax, recording is actually not difficult."

As senior members with more experience, they naturally play a role in stabilizing morale.

Shimizu Toru clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention: "Alright, everyone's here. We're short on time, so let's get started! Everyone's familiar with the sheet music and the lyrics, right?"

"I'm used to it now~"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Since receiving the sheet music and sections the day before yesterday, they had practiced a lot in private, knowing that this opportunity was rare and understanding how high the quality of Shimizu Toru's song was.

"The song 'Lilac' feels really special," Longdanzun said softly. "It has the refreshing feeling of summer, and also a kind of... well, a sense of power heading towards the future?"

“Tou’s songs are always like this: catchy melodies and lyrics that always touch people’s hearts,” Xi Yang Lili added with a smile, a sense of pride rising in her heart.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Today's goal is to record the basic audio track for the chorus first, and then add the details one by one."

Shimizu Toru smiled and looked at Jin Hanhan: "Especially you, Rion, the harmony in the chorus is key, don't mess it up."

"Don't worry! I've practiced for a long time!" Rion Takamiya puffed out her chest, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.

This was her first time participating in the recording of Qing Shui Tou's song. If she didn't perform well, she would definitely be laughed at by Green Fairy, whose resentment could raise ten evil sword immortals.

"Don't rush to record the harmonies. Let's go through the lyrics first. Good luck!"

"come on!"

The group entered the soundproof recording studio, put on the headphones on the microphones, and looked up through the huge glass window to see the encouraging gaze of Shimizu Toru outside.

As the indicator light on the console turned from red to green, the intro melody was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the headphones.

The opening is a lively guitar piece, and the other instruments don't join in until 21 seconds later.

The first to speak was Lily of the Sunset, mainly because her voice was the best: "Today, which is increasing day by day, along with my own lifespan."

Then there's the idol with the most girlish voice, Aiba Hatsuha: "It's like the limited number of words decreasing, or the wonderful number increasing."

"A treasure trove of memories, hidden deep within old shelves—covered in dust, yet it seems to gleam with a proud light."

At first, everyone was a little nervous and their voices were slightly tense.

But under the influence of the youthful spirit emanating from the song itself, everyone gradually became immersed in the music.

The clear voice of Yuhi Lily, the gentle voice of Rindan Takamiya, the stable harmonies of Takamiya Rion, and the transparent quality of Machida Chima.

Sister Claire's composure, Suzuhara Lulu's hard work, Aiba Hatsuha's girlish performance, and Arus's lively and agile nature.

The voices of the eight people began to blend wonderfully under the professional mixing console, weaving together the unique flavor of "Nara Girls' High School".

Shimizu Toru listened from the outside room, a satisfied smile on his face. Although the details still needed polishing, the overwhelming sense of teamwork and youthfulness was exactly the effect he wanted.

After the group harmony recording was completed, the more tedious individual segment recording and harmony adjustment began.

This process takes much longer than imagined, and everyone's understanding of the song, breath control, and pitch accuracy need to be repeatedly revised.

"Lulu, you could make this line a little more emotional. Imagine the excitement of getting a hit in the final inning of Koshien!"

"Hatsuba, you have a lot of power, but tone it down a little, or you'll drown out the others."

"Alus, keep up with the rhythm! You're a bit too fast."

"Rion, the harmony is a bit off in pitch, let's do it again!"

Shimizu Tomo is sometimes serious, sometimes encouraging, and accurately points out the problems of each person.

His professional attitude left the four newcomers speechless with admiration, completely putting aside any slight disdain they might have felt due to his age, leaving only deep respect.

As for Xi Yangli and the others, they were regulars at the recording studio, so he didn't need to worry about them much. He only needed to give them a little pointer, and they could correct their mistakes on their own.

During a break, Rion Takamiya collapsed onto the sofa and wailed, "Ugh! Singing is so hard, harmonies are so hard! I feel like my ears aren't even mine anymore!"

"But Rion-senpai has improved a lot!" Suzuhara Lulu encouraged softly, her own palms sweating with nervousness.

However, as one of the Rainbow Four, who can easily endure playing games like Demon Castle for more than ten hours at a time, her physical strength may not be as good as Aiba Hatsuha, Higuchi Kaede, and Mononosuke Arisu, but her endurance is the highest among the four.

"That's right, everyone worked really hard!" Gentian handed over a bottle of water: "Have some water and rest before continuing the battle!"

Hatsuha Aiba was doing stretching exercises to activate her voice: "Whew~ I need to get myself into top form!"

Sister Claire looked at her energetic juniors and smiled gently: "What a great song that gives people energy! I'll give it my all too!"

Finally, after more than two hours of effort, all the vocal parts of the chorus version were recorded.

When the final harmony came to a perfect close, and the recording engineer gave an OK sign through the glass window, a small cheer erupted in the recording studio.

"Success!"

"Wow! It's finally over!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Although exhausted, everyone's face was filled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement; together they had accomplished something worthy of being added to their bucket list.

Shimizu Toru walked into the recording studio and said with a heartfelt smile, "Well done, everyone! The results are even better than I expected! Nara Girls' High School Baseball Team, a resounding victory in their first match!"

"Yeah, yeah ヾ(??▽?)ノ"

"Let's go get some barbecue to replenish your energy, it's on me!"

"Barbecue? Supervisor is the best—"

Volume 1: Chapter 145 Let's go eat barbecue together~

"Barbecue! Barbecue!"

The fatigue seemed to vanish instantly, especially for Suzuhara Lulu and Aiba Hatsuha, whose eyes lit up immediately.

The group left the recording studio in a grand procession, braving the still scorching heat of the evening, and headed towards a barbecue restaurant nearby that was famous for its high-quality Wagyu beef.

The private room had been reserved in advance, and the huge grill table was big enough to accommodate everyone.

Cheers erupted once again as beautifully patterned and enticing platters of premium Wagyu beef, beef tongue, diaphragm, pork belly, and vegetable platters were served.

"Wow—this snowflake pattern is so beautiful!" Arus exclaimed, looking at the beef that resembled a work of art.

"I'm starting!" Aiba Hatsuha clasped her hands together, her voice clear and bright, full of respect for the food and eagerness.

"Wait, don't rush. Let Tou-kun or the waiter help us grill it. We might waste such good meat if we grill it ourselves..." Sister Claire suggested with some concern.

Shimizu Toru smiled upon hearing this and took the initiative to pick up the tongs: "Then today I'll be your full-time barbecue chef and let you taste my skills. The first batch of meat will be ready soon!"

With the charcoal fire blazing, the moment the slices of meat touched the grill, they sizzled, and the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire private room, making everyone's mouths water.

"Liyin, that piece is ready, you can eat it now, but be careful it's hot."

"Lulu, this one is thinner, here you go."

"Chuye, here's a big piece of pork belly for you, to replenish your strength."

Shimizu Toru skillfully flipped and separated the meat, taking into account everyone's speed and preferences, as if he were a truly experienced supervisor looking after his team.

"Mmm~ So delicious! It melts in your mouth!" Rion Takamiya squinted her eyes happily, her cheeks bulging.

"Yuzuru-senpai grilled it to perfection~" Suzuhara Lulu said softly as she ate a small bite.

"Energy replenished!" Aiba Hatsuha pumped her fist energetically, making everyone laugh.

"It's really great to be able to have dinner with my seniors!" Alus's face was flushed, whether from the heat or excitement, it was hard to tell.

The barbecue feast proceeded in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. After several rounds of meat, everyone gradually slowed down and began to chat and laugh more.

"Speaking of which, the Rainbow Armor tournament is almost here, isn't it?" Sister Claire asked, wiping her mouth. "How's Toru-kun's preparation for 'Nara Girls' High School' going?"

"We're working hard to train them every day!" Rion Takamiya blurted out, "Although sometimes we lose badly and almost don't make it to Koshien."

"After all, Toru is a beginner. It's already amazing that he won the Koshien championship in his third year, which is his first time playing," Yuhi Lily explained.

Gentian occasionally sees other people's clips, and upon hearing this, he reminded, "Yo and Kuzunoha's team seems very strong, Toru should be careful."

"But we won't give up!" Aiba Hatsuha declared with high spirits. "Our goal is to defeat everyone! Right, Coach!"

Shimizu Toru was handing her a piece of beef tongue when he heard this and laughed, "That's right, very impressive! Everyone, remember to come and cheer me on!"

"Of course!" Suzuhara Lulu nodded vigorously, prepared to postpone her live stream if there was a time conflict.

"I'll definitely watch it!" Arus responded enthusiastically, clenching her little fists tightly.

As the conversation went on, it turned back to the song that had just been recorded.

"Lilac is really good. I will definitely listen to it on repeat when it is released!" As the first song she participated in, Arus decided to become a fan.

Just like Ishigami Nozomi, who would ask everyone he met a few years later, "Do you know Black Myth?", he would greet them with, "Have you heard of Lilac?"

"I wonder what the PV will look like?" Longdanzun was also looking forward to it, after all, original songs and covers are different.

"I've already contacted the artist and discussed the concept. It'll probably be something like everyone wearing baseball uniforms on a baseball field at sunset."

Shimizu Toru revealed a bit of information: "Hopefully, it can be released the day before the Rainbow League main event."

As the saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the second will be weak and the third will be exhausted." In war, morale is what matters most.

His decision to release a high-quality original song before the main competition is sure to spark a huge discussion.

He used this to severely demoralize the other contestants. Although the method was indeed a bit despicable, who could blame him for having the ability to do so?

"It's going to be a huge hit!" Lily said with absolute certainty. "Everyone sang wonderfully today!"

When will Tou-kun's solo version be recorded? Can we come and watch it?

"It's tomorrow. You're welcome to come anytime if you want. There's really nothing much to see."

After a satisfying meal, as the streetlights came on, everyone strolled along the road, enjoying the leisurely time after their meal.

"Ah~ I'm so full." Aiba Hatsuha rubbed her stomach with a happy expression, clearly enjoying a rare meat feast.

"Thank you so much, Tou-kun, for today!" Sister Claire said again on behalf of everyone.

"It's nothing, everyone else has really worked hard."

Shimizu Toru waved his hand and looked at Aiba Hatsuha, saying, "Hatsuha, you're a student like Lulu and Chima, right?"

"Hmm, I'm a freshman this year, how can I balance my studies and live streaming?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Suzuhara Lulu chimed in, "Luckily, I'm already a senior in college, so I can focus on live streaming after graduation."

"Waaaa QAQ Why am I the only one who has to pause my live stream and focus on school?" Machida Chima felt like she was being targeted. Wasn't this bullying the little hamster?

"That's what happens when you're a senior in high school. You'll be fine once you get into university next year."

Shimizu Toru believes she doesn't deserve sympathy. As a Japanese high school student, she's already had three years of fun, so what's there to complain about in the last six months when she's studying hard?

After walking around for more than half an hour and exchanging Line numbers, we waved goodbye at Shibuya Station.

"Thank you for the barbecue, senior. I had a very happy day!"

"Good luck with the recording! Good luck with Rainbow Armor too!"

Goodbye~ Take care on your journey!

After the newlyweds bowed to Machida Chima and Claire in turn to say goodbye, only Shimizu Toru, Yuhi Lily, Takamiya Rion, and Rindou Mikoto remained.

“Let’s go back too.” Shimizu Toru naturally took the hands of Yuhi Lily and Takamiya Rion, while Rindou Mikoto linked arms with Takamiya Rion.

It's just that there weren't many people in the station at that moment, otherwise other boys would definitely give me a thumbs up and say that I'm a role model for them.

"Yay~ Time to go home!" Rion Takamiya happily waved her right hand, which was intertwined with his, her face beaming with joy.

"What a fulfilling day! The newcomers are so cute." It's a pity that time was too short, and Lily's flirting skills didn't get a chance to shine.

"Tou~ When can we see the finished product? I can't wait any longer~"

"It will be at least three days later, right? I'll try to urge the artist, even if it costs more money."

After resting for more than half a month, I will resume updating three times a week for the next week, and I will still owe some chapters at the beginning.
