I'm surrounded by women.

Jingle Bell--

At this moment, Bunkan Meihui's phone rang again. She picked up the phone but didn't answer it. Instead, she looked directly at the store entrance. When she saw a girl with long red hair, she quickly waved.

"Miss Kita, over here!"

At this time, Katori Genzakura also turned her head and looked towards the store entrance. When she saw the red-haired girl not far away - Kita Ikuyo, she knew that her guess was correct.

It’s you, Ms. Guiqulaixi!

Kita Ikuyo hurried over and said to Katori Genzakura and Bundate Mie embarrassedly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

"No, there are still three minutes before the agreed time. It's just that Miss Katori and I arrived earlier. Miss Kita, let me introduce you. This is Miss Katori, Katori Genzakura.

Ms. Katori, this is Ms. Kita, Ikuyo Kita, who I told you about earlier. She was the one who was admitted to the company without taking the entrance exam together with you, and who will be dubbing "It Will Be You" with you next.

Katori Genzakura nodded, stood up, extended her hand to Kita Ikuyo, and said with a chuckle, "Hello."

In previous lives, new voice actors who met Katori Gensakura for the first time would call the smile that Katori Gensakura showed when they first met: the devil's smile!

Because after starting the cooperation, I will have to go through a dubbing journey that is like hell!

But there are also some new voice actors who can withstand the strictness of Katori Gensakura. After the dubbing is completed, they will be surprised to find that their dubbing skills have been improved in all aspects!

These new voice actors are also very clear in their minds that without the guidance of Katori Genzakura, they may not be able to make such great progress even if they have been dubbing for several years.

In her previous life, Katori Gensakura held a position in the hearts of some new voice actors that was both feared and appreciated.

After seeing Katori Genzakura reaching out her hand, Kita Ikuyo excitedly held Katori Genzakura's hand, her eyes sparkling with joy, and she said in a tone full of happiness:

"Hello, Miss Katori, I finally meet you! I hope you will give me your guidance in the future!!"

"Eh? Have we met before?" Looking at the excited Kita Ikuyo, Katori Gensakura asked in confusion.

Although I had already met Kita Ikuyo in "Lonely Rock", that was something that happened in my previous life. This was the first time I met Kita Ikuyo in this life.

"The reason I wanted to become a voice actor was because I happened to click on a link to the official website of Aoni Agency while browsing Twitter that day.

That day, the official website of Qing Er Agency happened to be randomly refreshing some audition submissions. As if it was destined, I happened to click on an audition submission, and the audition submission I clicked on was yours, Miss Katori!

After hearing your voiceover, Ms. Katori, my mind was like a volcano erupting, and an idea emerged that I couldn't calm down!

That is, to be a voice actor and become your partner, Ms. Katori!"

Kita Ikuyo became more and more excited as she spoke. Before hearing Katori Genzakura's audition submission, she had never thought about becoming a voice actor.

But fate is sometimes so magical. When Katori Genzakura's voice appeared in her ears, Kita Ikuyo suddenly had the idea of ​​becoming a voice actor and becoming Katori Genzakura's partner!

I want to be a voice actor!

I want to be Katori Genzakura's only partner!

So, Kita Ikuyo, who had never known about voice actors, opened an audition script from Aoji Agency with the desire to do so, read it, recorded it, and sent the audition script over.

When sending it, Kita Ikuyo also added a note: If I’m lucky enough to pass, please let me become partners with Katori Genzakura!

Chapter 18 Our Lily is Work

"After giving the exemption quota to Ms. Katori, I originally only had one exemption quota for admission this year.

But then I heard Ms. Kita’s audition submission and saw the note she wrote in it, and I thought the two of them were a perfect match!

In addition, Kita-san's dubbing skills were also very high, so I applied for a place in the company without taking an audition."

At this time, Bundate Mie also added with a smile, and looking at Kita Ikuyo who finally got to see Katori Genzakura as she wished, the expression on Bundate Mie's face seemed to be full of "I'm so happy" and "It's a fateful meeting"!

Bunkan Mihui did not tell the price of applying for a second exemption from the entrance examination. As a new agent who had just joined the company, it was not easy for Bunkan Mihui to apply for an additional exemption from the entrance examination, even if her parents were senior executives of Aoji Agency.

In the end, Bunkan Mihui got the second spot to join the company without taking the exam at the cost of giving up this year's year-end bonus.

"For me, as long as I can find a sweet yuri couple, what's the big deal about a mere year-end bonus?! If I run out of money, I can just go to my parents and cry poor!" Bunkan Mihui thought firmly in her heart.

"I didn't expect that this butterfly effect was caused by me!"

After knowing the reason why Kita Ikuyo wanted to become a voice actor, Katori Gensakura was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue.

If one day Katori Genzakura did not submit a voice actor audition, even if Kita Ikuyo accidentally clicked on the link that led to Aoji Agency, she would not have the idea of ​​becoming a voice actor in her mind because she did not happen to hear Katori Genzakura's audition submission.

All of this is the choice of Steins;Gate!

……

"Now that Miss Kita is here, our welcome party can officially begin. Let's put work aside for now. We'll eat and talk later. Let's order first." After saying this, Bunkan Mihui opened her menu and raised her hand to call the waiter not far away.

After ordering the food, the three of them took the opportunity to chat about their upcoming voice acting work before the food was served.

Katori Genzakura and Kita Ikuyo sat together, while Bundate Mie sat on the other side by herself.

"Ms. Kita, I have just discussed the upcoming work plan with Ms. Katori. I want to tell you again that after you two become voice actors, you will be bound together to conduct yuri business.

Your first work is also a yuri anime, called "Becoming You", and you two are responsible for dubbing Koito Yu and Nanami Touko respectively.

I brought the comics. You two can take them home and read them to familiarize yourself with the plot. The script for the first episode is still in production, but it will be ready in the next few days.

The production team plans to complete the first and third episodes first, and then broadcast them simultaneously after the first episode is released."

"Um...what does yuri business mean?" Kita Ikuyo asked curiously.

Kita Ikuyo chose to become a voice actor because of the dubbing of Katori Genzakura. Although she relied on her extremely high talent and Bunkan Mihui's habit of shipping CPs, with the triple blessing of talent, strength and luck, she successfully joined the company without an exam and became a formal voice actor.

But Kita Ikuyo has almost no knowledge of the various terms in the voice actor industry!

When Bundate Mie was thinking about how to explain, Katori Gensakura, a senior voice actor, began to explain to Kita Ikuyo in a calm tone:

"To put it simply, from now on, our dubbing work and attendance at various events will basically be tied together. You will dub the female lead, and I will dub the other female lead. This kind of voice actor pairing is very common in the industry.

However, in recent years, the voice actor industry has become increasingly inward-looking, and there are more and more new waves that can beat the old ones to death on the beach.

In order to stand out among many voice actors and better idolize themselves, many voice actor partners will arrange an eye-catching setting for the relationship between each other.

As partners, the yuri lovers are set between you and me.

To put it more bluntly, our yuri is our job!"

"Lily lover?!"

When she first heard about yuri business, Kita Ikuyo didn’t understand it, but when she heard about yuri lovers, Kita Ikuyo understood!

As she understood, Kita Ikuyo felt her cheeks gradually getting hot and her pretty face became more and more red.

So this is what the word "Lily" in Lily Business means! I just foolishly thought that Lily Business means I have to bring a bouquet of lilies every time I go out?

If Katori Genzakura knew about Kita Ikuyo's idea, she would definitely laugh out loud, because Kita Ikuyo's idea was so funny and so naive.

Although the voice actor industry now increasingly likes to train voice actors into idols, let voice actors appear in the audience's field of vision frequently, and let voice actors hold concerts, interviews, etc. from time to time.

However, the prerequisite for becoming a voice actor idol is that one must have certain abilities and attract the first wave of popularity through dubbing works.

Seeing Kita Ikuyo's shy reaction, Katori Genzakura, as a senior, asked with concern: "Is this acceptable? If you don't want to accept it, we can also try a different business model. For example, sister business."

Katori Genzakura originally thought that Kita Ikuyo was embarrassed and shy, but she didn't expect Kita Ikuyo to blush for a long time, then excitedly looked at Katori Genzakura, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she said:

"Ms. Katori! I can do it! I'm willing to engage in yuri business with you! Please give me your guidance in the future!"

"Are you not thinking about it anymore?"

Katori Genzakura quickly reminded, was it her illusion?

Why do I feel like from now on, my relationship problems will spiral out of control?!

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. I've seen so many yuri works and have a wealth of theoretical knowledge. There's no way I'd fail when it comes to relationships! Rivers of blood? Impossible!" Katori Gensakura consoled herself with a faint sense of unease.

"Don't think about it! Miss Katori, I will work hard to practice dubbing and will never drag you down, because I want to be your only partner, Miss Katori, and want to be your partner for life!" Kita Ikuyo accidentally said some heavy words in excitement.

Although Katori Genzakura felt a sense of gravity, she didn't think much about it and just took this sentence as Kita Ikuyo's determination to work hard and make progress.

Afterwards, Bundate Mihui also told about her arrangements and ideas for the dubbing work of "It Will Be You".

"The storyline of 'Becoming You' revolves around three girls: Koito Yuu, Nanami Touko, and Saeki Sayaka. The voice actress for Saeki Sayaka hasn't been decided yet, but I'm thinking Kita Ikuyo will play Koito Yuu's voice, and Katori Minamoto Sakura will play Nanami Touko's voice."

At this point, Bunkan Meihui added meaningfully:

"That's right, although our agency has often had voice actors become idols in recent years, we at the agency will never forbid our voice actors from dating!

For example, if two voice actors who are currently working as a couple really fall in love with each other and get together, we would also support them.

I think this is what fans want to see, after all, who doesn’t want the couple they’re supporting to be real? "

Mihui Bunkan prays every morning when she wakes up and before she goes to bed at night, hoping that the yuri couples she supports are real!

Chapter 19: Yuan Ying found another woman or something...I don’t want that kind of thing!

"So voice actors can fall in love?!"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up, and then she secretly glanced at Katori Genzakura.

"Of course you can date. Actually, it's the Reiwa era now. Apart from purely idol agencies, there aren't many agencies that still strictly forbid dating, such as those that train actors, voice actors, and singers.

They either turn a blind eye or completely ignore it and even encourage it.”

Bunkan Mie explained.

After hearing this explanation, Kita Ikuyo secretly glanced at Katori Genzakura's profile and became even more excited.

"Miss Kita..."

Looking at the excited Kita Ikuyo, Katori Gensakura felt that it was time for her to give Kita Ikuyo, who knew nothing about the voice actor industry, a little reminder.

"Ms. Katori, can you call me Ikuyo? I also want to call you Gen Sakura." Kita Ikuyo expressed her thoughts with great anticipation.

"can."

"Great!" Kita Ikuyo cheered, then said obediently, "Gen Ying, what can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to remind you that although I know you just became an official voice actor, it's normal to be excited.

But if I don't take the upcoming dubbing work seriously and can't show my potential and level in "It Will Be You", even if the two of us are tied together now and doing yuri business.

But if your dubbing performance is not good, the partnership between you and me will be cancelled.

Aoji Agency doesn't keep idle people. If your performance is not good enough, Aoji Agency will cancel the cooperation, and then I will have to become a partner with another female voice actor."

Katori Genzakura smiled meaningfully and gave a hint to Kita Ikuyo who was still very excited at the time.

The fact that Kita Ikuyo was able to join the company without taking an exam means that Kita Ikuyo is very talented in dubbing, but I wonder how many talented newcomers Katori Gensakura has seen?

Talent is just a ticket to a higher level. If you don't adjust your mindset before the dubbing work officially begins, even the most talented new voice actors will start to back down after encountering a little setback.

Katori Genzakura said this to Kita Ikuyo at this time just to let Kita Ikuyo adjust her mentality first, and not think that she is a rare genius voice actor in a century just because she was admitted to the company without an exam.

Let Kita Ikuyo be mentally prepared in advance, and don't think that talent can decide everything, so that she won't be scared to tears by her own harshness during dubbing.

However, Katori Gensakura never expected that Kita Ikuyo understood her words in a completely different meaning.

Kita Ikuyo originally thought that after becoming Katori Genzakura's partner, she would be Katori Genzakura's only partner in her voice acting career.

But what Katori Gensakura said at this time made Kita Ikuyo feel a sense of crisis in her heart!

This also made Kita Ikuyo realize a fact: even if she became Katori Genzakura's partner now, if she didn't perform well, she wouldn't be Katori Genzakura's partner for life! And then, Katori Genzakura would get together with other female voice actors, become new partners, and engage in yuri business with other female voice actors.

"Don't do that! Gen Ying found another woman or something...!! I hope she will be my lifelong partner, I hope she will always think of me! Even if I don't become a voice actor in the future, it will last for a while... at least for ten years!! "

Kita Ikuyo suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis. She didn't want Katori Gensakura to become a partner with other female voice actors, but Katori Gensakura's dubbing skills were obviously better than hers.

If her dubbing skills cannot reach a level worthy of Katori Genzakura as soon as possible, then Katori Genzakura will definitely find a female voice actor with better skills than herself to cooperate with and engage in yuri business with other female voice actors!

Kita Ikuyo suddenly felt a lot of psychological pressure, but she was unwilling to give up.

If it were in the past, Kita Ikuyo might have given up.

But at this moment, as long as she thought about quitting and no longer being a voice actor, Katori Gensakura would engage in lesbian business with other female voice actors and have intimate relationships with other women...

The belief that she didn't want Katori Gensakura to become a partner with another female voice actor instantly burned away the tension and fear in Kita Ikuyo's heart like a raging fire!

Kita Ikuyo suddenly held Katori Genying's hands and said seriously, "Genying, I will definitely work hard and I will never let you down! Because my goal is to be your lifelong partner!"

Although Kita Ikuyo misunderstood Katori Genzakura's meaning, she still achieved the provocative effect that Katori Genzakura wanted.

"Well, then you should do your best..."

Feeling Kita Ikuyo's fiery belief, Katori Gensakura was shocked. So Kita Ikuyo really wanted to become an excellent voice actor?!

Katori Gensakura thought to herself with satisfaction, "Kita Ikuyo, I've sensed your ambition and understand your desire to become an excellent voice actor. I believe that with such determination, you will definitely go far in your career as a voice actor. I'm really looking forward to your future."

Kita Ikuyo was thinking to herself, "The reason I want to be a voice actor is because I heard Minamoto Sakura's voice! So, I will never let Minamoto Sakura become another female voice actor's partner. I want to be Minamoto Sakura's only partner. I want to be Minamoto Sakura's partner for life! What Minamoto Sakura said to me just now, does that mean she wants to be my partner for life? Okay! In that case, I must not let Minamoto Sakura down!"
