Ch 208 – 30 June, A night call from Chika 01

Once again Kouta could not help wondering if there was any connection to the sex he had with the heroine, even something as simple as the blowjob he had gotten from Marin earlier that morning. He felt like Marin was not only improving, but she was just suddenly good. Because today their circle was back again for another voice recording session. Not unlike what they had done before, the voice recording went smoothly.

Thanks to the training, criticism and feedback that Kouta gave to the voice actors. They are getting better at filling in the voices in the making of this visual novel. So they managed to fill the voice quite quickly and precisely even exceeding the voice actor schedule that Kouta made. So the making of the Fate/Stay Night visual novel is likely to be faster than he scheduled.

Even Kouta saw that there was a little time, so he gave Marin the opportunity, who had only come to see what voice recording was like. Because basically, she has just been practicing for a while and is just a voice actor as one of the side characters who is still fairly important. Kouta hoped to give Marin a little experience, even if it was only for a short time. After all, they had already finished recording the sound for today's recording session.

So there is no problem, right? And Kouta himself knows the extent of Marin's amateurish voice acting skills. However, it does feel like she has a pretty good talent, considering that Marin basically has experience in modeling and cosplay. At least it still has some connection to the world of entertainment, right? Even in the last few chapters that Kouta knew of in the manga Marin was so outstanding in modeling and cosplay that it made a stir on the internet.

For that reason, Kouta suggested that Marin try to do some lines as an exercise for herself.

Marin himself seemed a little excited to get the experience of voicing a character in a visual novel. As someone who enjoys playing eroge and the like, Marin is very happy to be associated with a project in a medium that she loves. Therefore, she thought of doing as best as she could from what she learned and observed during rehearsals and today when the other voice actors were casting their voices.

Marin was a little nervous and recalled the things she had learned before she began to recite the prepared sentences. Honestly, she felt that some of the words and sentences she said at the beginning were not good. However, as time went on it felt like the tonality and expressions she had to say were getting clearer and clearer.

But it was a bit different from the usual— Somehow, Marin felt like his mind was clearer and sharper today than usual. Even today when she tried to recite the lines of the character she was playing. She could recall the various criticisms and suggestions said to Kouta with ease. It felt like she could follow them at this moment very well— as if those things were integrated into her mind and she could perform them like those knowledge is just a simple addition and subtraction.

That's why afterwards what Marin said according to the script in the scene she was trying out went very smoothly and well. Marin herself couldn't believe how smoothly she could do that. That's why after she finished with her lines, she could feel the stares of the people in the recording studio.

“That’s amazing— Marin.” Kouta praised while half surprised because he basically knew the extent of Marin's ability who should still be considered an amateur could be this good. He always had suspicion something happened to all of the heroine he had sexual relationship with—

“Really? I’m happy if I'm doing well.”

"I think it's not just good. But it's amazing for someone who is doing the voice for the first time." Megumi also commented as she sat next to Kouta because she was also helping Kouta with the sound equipment along with Michiru.

“Ehehe— If you praise me like that. I feel embarrassed and happy—” Marin replied as she raised her hand to give Megumi a high five.

“I think that’s quite nice. We can use it.” Utaha also commented on Marin's performance to Kouta, who nodded his head and replied.

"Well, we practically hit the jackpot."

“Yeah.This is a good thing. Recently, Eriri art has also become more refined and polished— Not only that, but the consistency of her art is also getting increasingly horrifyingly good." Utaha commented on Eriri's progress, because just like in the anime. It can be clearly seen that the Utaha of this world have respect for and are in love with Eriri's artwork. Something that also happens the other way around.

Eriri also respects and likes Utaha as an author.

"Aren't you like that too— I heard you finished the second volume of Koisuru Metronome. So congratulations—-”

"Yes, the release date of the second volume of the novel will not differ much from the date Fate/Stay Night came out. So according to Machida-san, this could be a good advertisement for me as the author and script writer."

“Hm, that’s such a good idea. I don't think you'll have any hassle after this because your novel has finally gotten the attention of novel readers. But it’s still a good idea to have another advertisement.”

“Yeah, that’s true— So did you have fun with Marin last night?” Utaha nodded in agreement with Kouta’s words, before she dropped such a jealousy bomb.

“Well, just for a bit— Most of the time I spent my time to massage her after all.”

“Massage?”

"Yes, I just experimented on her with all the massage and acupuncture techniques that I learned on her.”

“Is that so?”

“Un, do you want to try it for a bit?”

“Hm— Well, if just a bit—”

Of course, Utaha had already experienced Kouta's massages several times. So she had no problem getting a massage from him. However, what she felt this time was a little different than usual because she never got a massage in her ear like Marin had before.

What followed was a loud sigh that made everyone turn towards Utaha whose face was flushed and covering her currently sensitive ears while looking at Kouta who was smiling at her teasingly.

“Uuu— I understand for a bit— You may really be having fun. Huh—”

“Yeah, I’m learning something too.”

In the end, today's recording session went very smoothly and exceeded the schedule made by Kouta. As usual, they took the time to gather at the family restaurant and have a small party after work. Kouta was also thinking of spending this Sunday night with Eriri and Utaha. However, he suddenly got a vibration from his cell phone.

Then on his phone screen came the name ‘Chika’.
