The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"Oh? They seem to be back! What happened?"

"Ideally, that guy Ikegoshi would fall into the sea and become fish food, or Miss Yukari would want to break up with him!"

Like a ghost, full of resentment, Kohei Imamura grumbled as he went to meet them. After all, unloading supplies on the ship was their job, and it wasn't against the rules.

"Yu, what's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

"Kouhei? Actually, there was a small problem..."

Unable to bear the low atmosphere on the ship, Miyazawa Yu stood on the deck with his hands on his hips, turned to look at Kohei and Iori, and explained to them with a helpless expression, "It's no use, no matter how I take the pictures, I can't capture the feeling!"

"Can't capture the essence?"

"Ok!"

Pointing to Ikegoshi Yuichi, who had his head buried in his legs and was not saying a word, Miyazawa Yu could only say that the more confident this guy was when he went out to sea, the more disappointed he was now.

There's no way around it. You have to understand that although Kohei isn't the most perverted character in the Pab Club, how can a god be easily imitated by a human?

Yesterday, I was with this guy while I thought he was Kohei. Ikegoshi only managed to show a third of Kohei's charm by going along with his lead.

But now that he has met Kohei, Ikegoshi not only couldn't keep his composure, but he also failed to replicate his state from yesterday.

"I see, that makes sense. It would be strange if anyone could easily adapt to Pab's style, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Peeking out with her little head, Yoshihara Aina's eyes sparkled as she wholeheartedly agreed with Iori's statement. Kohei was the scoundrel she had her eye on, and not just anyone could easily imitate him!

"I've already said I should show the surprise of seeing my idol, and you were too hesitant when taking off your clothes. Is it so hard to sit there without turning your legs inward?"

"I'm sorry, Director..."

"This is clearly an excellent project. Letting go of this opportunity for underwater sponsorship and promotion might mean they have to rebuild their image!"

"I understand……"

On the boat, Chi Yueyong bowed his head and obediently accepted the director's criticism, his heart bleeding as he groaned incessantly...

The reason he was able to show off his muscles so naturally yesterday, and repair the hole on the roof, was ultimately because there was no audience. The only living person, Miyazawa Yu, was even more open about his O!

But now his fiancée is still on the whole boat, and it's really asking too much of him to strip naked without being the slightest bit coy!

Isn't there an easier way to establish a persona?

"If you ask me, the otaku persona is enough; there will definitely be a lot of support!"

"How could it be that simple? The otaku persona has been overused, okay? Do you think Japanese entertainers are disrespectful to the market if they don't have some otaku traits?"

"Do you really love vegetables?"

"Yeah! After all, young people in Japan are called 'juniors' these days~"

He spread his hands and nodded to Kohei. Yoshihara Aina was the only one among them who was a fan of celebrities, so her words carried more weight than Yu's.

As a die-hard fan of both games and voice actors, Kohei Imamura had never really paid attention to the Japanese entertainment industry. It's a great honor to find that his fellow fans are spread all over the country!

"It's all just a persona; opinions on the truth vary... So what?"

The world isn't as wonderful as Kohei imagines. Miyazawa Yu could tell from the former's expression that he had found a sense of belonging again, so he poured cold water on him to prevent Kohei from becoming a fangirl as well.

Just then, he felt two taps on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Chi Yueyong looking down with a troubled expression and immediately understood.

"Want me to strip naked and be with you? No problem at all, it's that simple!"

With a swish, healthy muscles gleamed in the sunlight, and Yukari Murakami, following behind her boyfriend, felt a heat before her eyes and screamed, "Ah!"

"You bastard! You actually managed to escape right in front of Yukari-san! I'll kill you!"

"Kouhei, you're somewhat prone to forgetting your friends for the sake of a pretty girl!"

Taking a breath, the muscles in his neck bulged rapidly, and Miyazawa Yu easily escaped Kohei's terrifying gaze and choking restraint as he teleported over.

As the latter's hand was knocked away, a contemptuous smile slowly crept onto his lips—this little Kohei actually dared to try and play the hero? How laughable! How laughable!

"How about it, Yuichi? Shall we try again?"

"...That Yu, actually, this was only part of the request!!"

The message "Task progress bar (1/2)" appears before my eyes, but it's not enough!

With a determined look in his eyes behind his sunglasses, Yi Yijiu Ling Liu Si Lu Qi, without further hesitation, bowed and shouted his final request: "Mr. Geng Ping, if you are going to play, you will definitely have no problem. Please take my place as the starting lineup for now!"

"Ugh?"

"Wait! But Yukari and Mr. Ikegoshi still have scenes together, right?"

Before Kohei could react, her petite figure stood between him and Ikegoshi Yuichi, and Yoshihara Aina, whose mind had never worked so fast, immediately asked the most crucial question.

"Is everything alright with Ms. Yukari? After all, he's not her boyfriend, so we're supposed to play a couple!"

Chapter 305: Aina's Status as the Empress is Initially Established?

The field of stand-in literature has always been a headache, but this problem obviously doesn't exist for Kohei.

With this guy's almost religious love for voice actors, just being able to have close contact with beautiful voice actresses, even as a stand-in, would be enough to satisfy his small heart.

But for Yoshihara Mana, this is an unbearable pain!

Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship, she's already tacitly accepted that Kohei is her boyfriend. Lending her boyfriend out to act as her co-star makes her feel a little like she's being cheated on!

However, for the same reason as before, the two have not yet established a relationship, so it seems that he has no right to stop the latter from making a choice.

Helpless, she could only try to shift the blame, believing that Miss Yukari from the village probably didn't want to act opposite a strange man either...

"I'm fine with anything. I'm willing to do anything to help Yuichi. Besides, people in the industry don't have that many rules when acting opposite each other~"

"Ugh?"

Yoshihara Aina was stunned when she thought Yukari would strongly object, but to her surprise, Yukari agreed with an air of self-righteousness.

Damn it! They completely forgot that people in the entertainment industry don't have any particular feelings about their co-stars. When Yuka was doing voice acting, her husband and boyfriend probably shouted into the microphone quite a bit.

"Ah...no, Miss Yukari, aren't you and Mr. Yuichi going to be together forever...like that?"

Her lips trembled with panic, and two tears welled up in Yoshihara Aina's eyes as she stretched out her fingers to review the situation, trying to change Yukari's overly open-minded thinking.

However, upon hearing her say that, Yukari Murakami tilted her head and nodded her cheek, explaining with an innocent expression, "Of course, so Yuichi absolutely cannot be suspected of cheating!"

"then you……"

"I'm fine, after all, she's my fiancée who would never cheat on me, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Faced with his fiancée clinging to his arm and rubbing against him, Chi Yueyong nodded helplessly, lest she become suspicious again and want to commit suicide with him.

"Huh? Is that so? Then I'm fine... Kohei! Heave-ho!"

Cold sweat poured down her back. Betrayed by the engaged couple, Yoshihara Aina's pupils dilated in shock, and for a moment she couldn't find an excuse to continue interfering.

She turned stiffly, her face filled with sorrow, and tugged at Kohei Imamura's sleeve twice before bursting into tears and shrinking into a corner, wallowing in self-pity.

"Ah~ Mana has been completely defeated."

"Lacking the courage to take a gamble, only hoping to push the right to make decisions onto others and get a relatively perfect outcome, that's really childish thinking..."

By refraining from offering any effective advice regarding the current situation, Miyazawa Yu can best respect Kohei and Mana's relationship.

Leaning against the wall with Iori, the two of them felt a little sorry for the lonely Aina, but they couldn't rely on her to "uphold justice" for everything.

She makes herself appear weak, hoping others will offer help; she clearly occupies Kohei's heart but dares not confess; and she feels fear and rejection towards the intrusion of outsiders.

Aina... what a "cunning" woman!

"..."

Aina's mood was very strange, and Kohei Imamura knew this very well. He frowned as he looked at the lonely, small figure of the woman walking alone, his gaze unusually long.

Normally, if a famous voice actor were willing to act opposite him, and even offered to let him undress and drink alcohol without any restrictions, he would definitely have agreed without hesitation. But now...

"I love vegetables."

"Yes! I'm not unhappy!"

With a shudder, realizing that her sulking seemed a bit too obvious, Yoshihara Aina quickly stood up and forced a smile by pressing two fingers against her dimples.

"Haha, I'll wait here..."

"Does Aina want me to go?"

Before she could finish speaking, Yoshihara Mana felt a sharp pang in her heart as she looked at the dejected Kohei standing to the side, facing her.

According to her usual persona, she should pretend to be indifferent and wave her hand, then let Kohei have fun on his own. But she has a strange feeling that if she dares to let go, both Kohei and she will probably get hurt!

Newly established intimate relationships are very unstable. In the other person's words, they are now undoubtedly at a crossroads in a visual novel where they cannot save their progress!

"I...no, I don't want to go to Kohei!"

"Yoshi, I'm sorry, I can't help you here!"

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry for making such a difficult suggestion."

Kohei Imamura generously waved his hand in refusal. Although Yuichi Ikegoshi was disappointed, he could only accept it, shaking his head with a wry smile to indicate that it was okay, and with Yuu by his side, he should be able to establish his persona.

"???"

Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Yoshihara Mana's face turned into a blank sketch, with two round circles and an inverted triangle forming her eyes and mouth, while her nose simply disappeared—

Wow, it went so smoothly?

The plot should have unfolded as Kohei looked at his favorite voice actor, clutching his heart, and cruelly rejected him, while Ikegoshi Yu cried and begged him repeatedly!

"that……"

Approaching Yuichi Ikegoshi, Aina Yoshihara, like a child who had done something wrong, asked guiltily with her hands behind her back, "Mr. Yuichi, are you... not angry?"

"Why are you angry? Kohei is Aina's boyfriend. Isn't it perfectly normal for Aina not to want to lend him the money?"

"Male! Male, two hundred million umbrella dance abandons three boyfriends!"

"Isn't it?"

My ears were almost deafened! Ikegoshi Yuichi truly lived up to his reputation as a high-EQ talent who could navigate the entertainment industry, instantly hitting Yoshihara Mana's only good spot!

"No... actually, not yet, hehehe... hehe!"

"That laugh is absolutely disgusting, Mana-chan."

"He seems to have gotten carried away. I suggest we make him a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork to clear his head!"

To be honest, Aina looks exactly like a middle-aged man who took advantage of someone on the train. Using the word "disgusting" to describe Iori is not an exaggeration at all!

He walked over and gave her a hard knock on the head. Miyazawa Yu gently pushed Mana towards Kohei's position, so that she wouldn't expose the unfathomable depths of her Pab-shaped body in front of everyone.

"...Thank you, Aina."

"No, it's nothing. I should be thanking Kohei for being so accommodating!"

When their eyes met, Kohei and Mana's height difference wasn't too great, and they could get the perfect view by simply accommodating each other a little.

Without saying anything more, silence was the best form of communication for this duo.

Unlike Yu and Azusa, who are a high-EQ couple and naturally know how to communicate and express their feelings, every step they take for each other is especially precious.

"Okay, I understand. It would be great if it could succeed!"

After discussing with the director for a while, Miyazawa Yu finally came up with a plan that would allow filming to continue.

He walked up to the two guys who were about to pour their hearts out to each other, roughly grabbed Kohei by the ear, and put the microphone-equipped headset with simultaneous audio transmission on his head.

"Whoa! Yu, what are you doing?"

"Nonsense, of course it's to make up for it. I told the director that we could split the profits 50/50 and provide two boats so that you and Aina could also go to sea for the live show."

Pointing to the small boat that was coming again, Miyazawa Yu felt like she was both a father and a mother to these old men in the Pab department, worrying herself sick and yet not getting any appreciation.

But who told him to be preparing to inherit Grand Blue and Pab? He deserves it!

"I'll handle the issues with Ikegoshi's performance. You and Aina just need to help with the dialogue. If you do a good job, the manager will give you a break in a couple of days!"

"Have a holiday?!"

Imamura Kohei's mind immediately started working. Although Aina's attitude was still ambiguous, going out for a trip would definitely be a powerful way to solidify their unstable relationship!

"That's right!"

In reality, there was no lie at all. Miyazawa Yu wanted to use herself and Nanaka to take over all the workload of these guys in exchange for a celebration vacation.
