Seiyuu Short Stories I

My Senpai is Okamoto Nobuhiko Part 1

"Ah, I see. You are right. But I need a male partner" I had a deep thought

Eh? Wait?! I looked behind and I just noticed that there was another rooftop, and there Okamoto-senpai smiling. From where I could see him, he was lying on his stomach

"S-senpai? Since when are you lying there?" I nervously asked him

He hurriedly jumped down and went in front of me. He got the script on my hand and scanned it "I am here even before you came and started screaming" he answered while smiling

I felt my blood flowed to my face and I really was embarrassed remembering what I just did.

"You should say something, I feel so embarrassed now"

He looked at me and he laughed "Well, I also did that once. By the way, as your senpai, I am willing to be your partner for practicing"

"Eh?"

"Now! Let's start!" he said and I was startled and just follow his lead

The next day, I was so nervous. But yesterday, Okamoto-senpai gave me lot of advices and he helped me practice my lines

I entered the recording and sat down at the seat far from them. I had a vacant seat both my side

"Good morning" Satou-san sat beside me. Same as me, she was on the session too, and we were from the same agency

"Good morning" I greeted back

"I'm really so tired. Oh yeah, are you going to audition for an anime after this?" I shook my head and smiled "Eh, but why?"

"I have something to do after this." I answered "I already told the agency" I would visit my mom today, but I only told the agency

"Good morning" Okamoto-senpai entered the recording studio to our surprise. What the heck he was doing here?!

"Nobu, what are you doing here? You have recording today?" Shimazaki-san asked him

"Yeah, I am joining the recording today" he answered and sat down beside me "Good morning" he greeted us

I bowed down and felt the glared from the others.

"You are also part of this anime, senpai?" I asked and he grinned "I didn't hear about it"

"Yeah, the director actually kept it secret" he whispered as he scanned his own script. Then he suddenly got mine "I did something great yesterday, but I forgot what is that"

"Ah, the adlib you did" I said then flipped the pages "Here"

He read then looked for a pen, it seemed he didn't have so I lend him mine

The recording started and I was so happy that I did my part in first try. With the help of Okamoto-senpai. And to my surprise, my character was the same in real life towards Okamoto-senpai's character, a senpai and kouhai.

After the recording, I was about to leave when the director called me

"Here" he handed me a manuscript

"What is this, sir?"

"This is a script for the next anime project. I will give you this part."

"Eh?" I scanned the script, and to my surprise, the sister of the main guy character "But?"

"Actually Noriaki-kun was the one who asked us. He wanted you to play as his daughter"

"Sugiyama-san did?"

"Yeah, well, we will be holding an audition today for some characters. Please accept this, okay" he patted my head and I was left dumbfounded to what just happened

I exited and went to the bus stop. I was on deep thought that I didn't know what was going on. Mother, was this the start?

"(F/N), what are you doing there?" I looked at the car that stopped in front of me, and it was Okamoto-senpai and Shimazaki-san in front of the wheel

"I'm waiting for the bus to come"

"Why don't you go in? We'll send you" Shimazaki-san said

"Eh, no I am fine"

"Hop in (F/N)" Okamoto-senpai got off the car and lead me inside the car "You should accept your senpai's kindness" he smiled and closed the door. He sat down on the passenger seat and then Shimazaki-san drove off "Where are you heading?"

"General Tokyo Hospital" I answered

"Do you have any problem in your health?" Shimazaki-san asked

"No, I am fine. Just going to visit someone." I answered. Well, Okamoto-senpai found out why I became a seiyuu and he said that I would make my mother proud. The two of them talked about events and drama cd recording that seemed normal for the two of them. As for me, I just looked at the window and watched the buildings we were passing by

It was then I remembered the script the director gave. I got the script on my bag and sighed

"What's the problem?" Okamoto-senpai asked looking at me

"I received a script from the director. But I didn't audition for this"

"What anime?" they both asked

"Ichi no Inochi" I answered

"What role did you received?" Shimazaki-san asked in curiosity

"The sister of Ichi" I answered and the both laughed that made me curious "What?"

"I played Ichi" Shimazaki-san answered. "Then you'll be my little sister" I could see from the front mirror that he was looking at me and he was smiling

"Nobunaga-san?" I again asked and he nodded

"Then that settles, the three of us can record together"

"Senpai?" I asked Okamoto-senpai who was laughing on his seat

He showed a manuscript and grinned widely "I'll play the childhood friend, and also Ina's love interest. Well, our characters are friends that like each other, but afraid that the friendship might destroy if we passed the line" he explained that left me dumbfounded

But that time, I didn't know. Because of that anime, lots of unexpected turn of events would happen to me.
