🕑 Added 2023-11-26 20:50:28 +0000 UTC"Don't worry."
Maki, speaking with her left eye closed and flashing a smile at Homura, answered instead of Eli.
"It's not a problem."
Seeing Maki make that expression, Homura understood that there was really no problem at all. If anything, it might even surpass his expectations!
Afterward, everyone began the recording.
"Tomorrow's the big day! I'm so looking forward to it!" Honoka remarked, wearing a wide smile.
"What I'm really looking forward to is..." Nico's grin mysteriously. "How players feel when they hear our voices or see our names!"
"Yeah, I have the same thought." Homura chuckled. "Which is why I kept it a secret from the public."
Hearing their words, Hanayo also began to feel excited.
After all, this was the first step for Muse on the path to becoming a professional idol group!
Even though becoming a professional idol might not be their final choice of career in life, one couldn't deny the possibility.
"Rin has to be the first to play the game, nyaa~!"
"Ahh! Rin-chan, you're so sly! I want to be the first too!" Honoka exclaimed with a pout.
"Honoka-chan is the senior! Seniors should let their juniors go first, right?" Rin pointed out.
"Ehh?! That's not true!" Honoka retorted, shaking her head. "Didn't we agree before that there's no seniority between us?"
"Hmm... I really want to be the first too..." Nozomi suddenly interjected. "When 'Your Name.' was released, I was the first one among us to play it, after all."
"By the way, did you guys forget something?" Eli chimed in with a confused tone.
""Mm?""
"Tomorrow, after we finish recording, Homura-kun has to import the audio into the game first, right? So, who said you could play it tomorrow?"
"..."
Honoka and Rin were at a loss for words.
"If you can't play it tomorrow, how can the first one be you guys?" Eli continued calmly.
"Nanami-chan!"
Honoka suddenly grabbed Nanami's hand.
"Tomorrow, you must use double speed when recording! That way, we'll definitely—kyaa!"
Umi quickly gripped Honoka's head tightly.
"Double speed? It's surprising you even suggested that! What if it turns into some weird sound?!" Umi said irritatedly.
"Why does it have to be the first one? Trying it out later is the same, right? Anyway, we'll all try it out before the game releases publicly." Kotori said with a puzzled tone.
"Why? Don't you know this is the first time we, Muse, are becoming professional voice actors for a great game? It's such a memorable event! It'd be a shame not to be the first!"
Saying this, Honoka was clearly not going to give up.
"Hmph, the first one to play should be Umi, right?" Nico scoffed. "She's one of the main characters!"
"Not me! It's Saber!" Umi retorted strongly while blushing.
"Okay, okay, it's Saber..." Nico waved her hand helplessly. "Is it really necessary to be so shy about it?"
"Heh..." Yukiho suddenly chuckled. "Doesn't that mean Minamiya-senpai is Umi-nee's love interest?"
Psttt!
Steam instantly rose from Umi's head!
"Oho~?"
Nico had a sly smile, likely learned from Nozomi, but hers did seem a bit more mischievous than Nozomi's.
"Well, never mind..."
Nico suddenly restrained herself.
Umi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking maybe Nico had a change of heart.
However, Nico immediately added.
"If I keep going, what if you faint? How are we going to explain that to your family? Fainted because of Homura-kun?"
"..."
Umi stayed silent and clenched her hand tightly into a fist.

Thursday.
After a day of heated online discussions, the commotion only intensified!
However, Homura had no time to pay attention to this.
Today, Umi, Kotori, and Nanami were surprisingly in good spirits.
As a result, by six in the evening, all the voice-acting tasks were completed!
Since it was still early, and everyone didn't feel like going home, they decided to head to Homura's home instead, urging him to quickly get the game's installation package ready.
Initially planning to guide Megumi through the procedure slowly, Homura's plan was no longer achievable.
"Hurry up, Homura-kun! This way, we can play for a while!" Honoka urged.
"Don't worry, it's almost done." Homura replied without looking back, hands still busy with the keyboard. "Oh, by the way... Are you all going to play together?"
"Of course." Umi nodded.
At this point, claiming not to look forward to it would be a lie.
After all, not only was it their first work as voice actors, but it was also a great work of Another Dimension.
"In that case, which route do you plan to take?" Homura asked casually.
"I'm going for Umi-chan!" Kotori announced.
"???" Homura was confused.
"!!!" Umi was surprised for a moment, before countering. "In that case, I'll pursue Kotori!"
"???!" Homura's confusion intensified.
"..." Kotori was speechless.
"Huh?"
"What the heck?! When did you two develop this kind of relationship?!"
Honoka looked confused, while Nico exclaimed in shock.
"Nico, what nonsense are you spouting?" Eli scolded with a wry expression.
"Okay, it's done!"
Finally done with the game's installation package, Homura wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Upon hearing this, the girls stopped their banter and quickly gathered around him.
"Use this computer to test."
Homura handed a USB drive to Elf.
"And whoever else wants to try by yourself, go install it on your own computer."
Elf took the USB drive and then looked at Muramasa with an eager expression.
"Hana, wanna play together?" Elf asked with a teasing tone.
"Do you want to die, demi-human?" Muramasa asked back with a gloomy expression, clearly displeased.
"..."
Elf stayed silent and didn't dare to respond.
'Alright, don't mess with her!'
She thought nervously and instantly became obedient.
Seeing their usual antic, Homura chuckled.
"Oh! It's starting, it's starting!" Honoka exclaimed excitedly, her eyes gleaming. "Umu, the theme song sounds so good every time! Eli-chan's singing is really something!"
"Honestly, for this kind of song style, Eli-senpai and Maki are the most suitable." Homura nodded with a smile.
Maki raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
"Um, most of us are better suited for energetic or romantic songs." Kotori nodded. "Only Eli-chan and Maki-chan are suitable for this intense and serious song... Well, maybe Umi-chan too? But I feel like she might be a bit inferior to Eli-chan and Maki-chan."
Her analysis was truly spot on.
Rin, Nico, and Honoka were especially fitting for lively and cheerful songs.
Hanayo, Kotori, and Nozomi were more suitable for gentle and soft songs.
Umi, Eli, and Maki were perfect for powerful songs.
"With this, next up is the anime. By then, it won't just be the theme song that we need..."
Homura glanced at Eli and Maki.
"When it comes to opening songs and ending songs, we'll be relying much on Eli-senpai and Maki."
"So lucky..." Honoka looked envious. "But I know I'm not suitable for this kind of song..."
"Don't worry, there's always something suitable." Homura smiled. "With Maki and me around, are we really lacking in songs? Especially when Love Live gets its anime... we'll definitely need a lot of songs."
Although that was a bit in the future.
