Ch 197 – 27 June, Invitation from Marin 01

Kouta of course doesn't know what's going on with Chika right now. Because basically he only sends messages to each other with Chika from time to time. He also does not only message each other with Chika either, but with various heroines he has known. Although most of those who sent him the most messages were Chika, Michiru and also Marin. It was probably because these three were basically extroverts.

Then after Kouta thought of filling in some side voice characters, he started messaging Marin to see if she was interested. As Kouta remembers, Marin is an amateur model and seems to have a strong charm especially when coupled with a good costume so she can make the cosplay community explode. Kouta knew that there was a big difference between modeling and acting, but in the end he thought it was worth trying.

Kouta spoke to Marin about his plans which seemed to get a positive response from Marin. Although she never had any experience doing voice acting and the like. As someone who loves anime, manga and playing eroge, Marin naturally has a desire to be involved in the creation of media that she loves. Kouta himself said that he would help her to at least put out a performance that could be considered good enough for amateurs.

Marin is also very interested in seeing live voice acting. Kouta allowed her to see the voice acting recording. With these things, there is no longer anything that makes Marin not interested in the offer from Kouta. After all, after the photo session as Shizuku at Kouta's house, Marin always looked forward to the opportunity to spend time with Kouta.

Of course, Marin often exchanged messages with Kouta. However, meeting in person is more fun, isn't it?

After all, there was one thing Marin wanted to talk to Kouta about and she also had something she wanted to bring up with Kouta.

Nowadays most of their circle group's time is almost always spent at Kouta's house. Since the voice recording at the studio a few days ago, Kouta had allowed Megumi, Nanami and Miho to rest. Then today they are back for more rehearsals and before they go back to recording their next sound tomorrow.

Then this time there is one additional person who is none other than Marin who has introduced herself to the group members who have never met each other. Especially the voice actors, Megumi, Nanami and Miho. Before then she observed the three girls practicing. All of them looked very interesting to Marin. She was also very impressed to see girl her age doing voice acting which in Marin's eyes was very good.

"Oh, aren't they really good? I wonder if I'll be okay?" Marin could not resist asking Kouta who was observing the voice actors.

“Hm, well. It’s fine. You don’t have to worry too much about it? I will train you for a bit after all.”

“Really?”

“Yeah— Wait— Okay, that’s good. Ah, Megumi, can you do it more like this.” Kouta stopped talking to Marin and he moved towards Megumi before he pointed out how the lines Megumi had said performed.

Marin looked at Kouta in shock because even though she heard from Kouta that Marin would be getting training and the like. But she never thought that all of that would be done by Kouta.

“Kouta-kun, do you have any experience?” Marin asked the question after she saw that Kouta had finished providing his assessment as well as providing his points of correction of their voice acting.

“Hm, are you talking about voice acting? I don’t think so— Rather than voice acting you could say that what I do is visualize the story that I imagine, and then tell them.” Kouta answered because it was almost the same as everything he had done before. Thanks to his cheat abilities, he was able to follow the voice actions from his previous life and replicate them exactly the same.

“Is that so? That’s amazing.” Marin could be said to be quite amazed by Kouta who could do various things. Plus when she saw Kouta giving acting examples to the girls made Marin remember the photo session they had almost two weeks ago.

Yeah, because back then Kouta easily replicated various scenes from eroge that she liked and she did it so well that it made Marin really feel like Shizuku.

‘If you think about it— It’s not weird that Kouta had such good voice acting skill—’ Marin thought like that as she recalled what happened and had her body slightly aroused by the memory.

“Well, I can guide and make you be able to at least have a reasonable voice acting for a newbie.” Kouta said those words to Marin who was still thinking about what happened the last time she was in this house.

“Yeah— Please, guide me well—” Without thinking that much, Marin made a rather sweet and seductive voice as if she was in Shizuku’s role.

“Un, that’s a good answer. First, I want you to do a small voice exercise like this—” Kouta told Marin and showed her the training video Kouta had made to help Megumi as well.

“Ah, that— Ugh— Yeah, I will do my best.” Marin realized what she was thinking and felt very embarrassed and she didn't know why she was in a trance towards Shizuku's role just by talking to Kouta in his house.

‘Geez, what are you thinking— Marin— That’s shameless— But I kind of missed that photo session and it seems that talking to Kouta and being in this house brought back those memories.’ Marin already thought so before she started following the voice exercises shown in the video. As she tried her best to focus on the video. After all, Marin was basically a girl who had a good talent in the industry so she could do the exercises from the video very well.

Kouta himself observed Marin and could judge that she had slightly better basic skills than Megumi. Although still not comparable to Miho or even Nanami who was not as good as Miho. At least Kouta felt that Marin had a pretty good foundation. The most striking thing to Kouta was that Marin had a good voice that was pleasing to the ear.

Well, it's a natural thing because basically the heroine has the voice of a professional voice actor.
