Chapter 80: Girls Tend to Put Up a Brave Front
"Why?!" Eriri looked puzzled.
Homura did not answer. Instead, he turned to Megumi and said, "Megumi, can you explain it to Eriri?"
Megumi nodded. "Eriri, I think it's best to do it this way because girls tend to put up a brave front."
With that, Eriri immediately understood, but she still had a question. "But isn't Mitsuha still not sure if she has fallen in love with Taki or not? Isn't forcing a smile only when she's sure of her feelings?"
Homura looked at Utaha again, and Utaha, who wanted to give him some face, explained before he could speak, "At this moment, Mitsuha should have this feeling..."
"Taki-kun and Okudera-san already went on a date, right? I'm really happy for him! But what is this hidden pain in my heart about?" Utaha recited Mitsuha's dialogue.
"A smile represents happiness on the surface while closing one's eyes represents the pain hidden inside. So, there's nothing wrong with this expression," Utaha summarized.
Homura finally spoke his mind. "Yes, Mitsuha is a strong girl, so I prefer her to be strong and not use too many tears to show her vulnerability."
"That's why I'm struggling with this! If it's a smile, it's more subtle, but if it's tears, it's more obvious! Which one should we use?" Homura asked.
Eriri accepted his idea, but she still had a suggestion. "Okay, I propose that for the game, we can use something subtle because players have enough time to think, but for the movie, we should be more obvious! Not everyone can understand this expression, so it's necessary to make the audience understand Mitsuha's feelings."
Homura agreed. He was also prepared to do so. If the audience didn't understand Mitsuha's feelings at this point, the effect would be greatly reduced.
"That's right," Utaha nodded. "If she cries, the audience will understand that Mitsuha has fallen for Taki!"
"If it's a smile with a psychological description, the players will probably feel even more sorry for this strong girl," Megumi added.
Homura smiled. "OK, it's settled. Let's work hard, and in a week, our work will be completed!"
"There's only BGM and voice-over left, and a few more days will suffice! It's not far from being released!"
Hearing his words, everyone felt more energized!

In the evening, Homura returned to his room and secretly studied voice acting skills. After triggering the skill, he went straight to upgrade it to Level 9 and gained another skill that was almost at a max level.
[Character Name]: Minamiya Homura
[Level]: 48 (125630/530000)
[Life Skills]: Piano LV9, Guitar LV9, Voice Acting LV9
[Skill Points]: 42
"Leveled up again, but the experience cap has increased by 50.000. I wonder how much more experience is needed for the next level."
Homura didn't think much deeper than that. After finishing his manga, he and Haru entered a state of sleep.

On Tuesday, after school.
The Minamiya Residence was lively again because today was the scene where Homura and Nanami voice-acted together. Eriri had been teasing them for the past few days, waiting for Nanami to get familiar with the lines so that they could cooperate together.
Not only them but also Ayano and Shizuka were present!
Homura didn't feel anything with everyone's attention, but Nanami was very nervous. If it were a stranger, Nanami might not be this way, but because they were too familiar with each other, and had to perform a dialogue between two people where the other person was the one she liked. It was strange if Nanami wasn't nervous!
"Relax, Nanami." Homura consoled her when he saw her appearance. "You can't be nervous. Treat this all as if it were a selection and audition!"
"Don't forget, you are a voice actor. What you need to do is to bring the most genuine voice of your role to everyone and make the character feels alive!"
"Now, you are not Aoyama Nanami, but Miyamizu Mitsuha, OK?"
Under his guidance, Nanami stopped her wild delusions.
Yes, now it is not Nanami and Homura's dialogue, but between Mitsuha and Taki!
'My dream is to become a professional voice actor! If I can't overcome this kind of circumstance, how can I succeed?' Nanami slapped herself on the face and laughed resolutely, "OK! Let's get started!"
Homura gave a thumbs up.
Over there, the people chatting with each other also looked over.
"Are you all ready? Choose a line!"
Homura did not choose for himself but handed this task to others. After a brief discussion, Eriri, the one who wants to tease Homura the most arranged the dialogue script.
"How about a line from when they met each other at twilight? Is it okay?" Eriri spoke the most classic part.
Homura looked at Nanami, and Nanami nodded back.
"No problem!" he said, then turned on the projection equipment and adjusted the game screen to that position.
Homura (Taki): "Mitsuha..."
Nanami (Miyo): "Taki... Taki! It's really you!"
Nanami's voice was filled with a sob, and Mitsuha on the screen also had tears in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall.
Homura (Taki): "I came all this way to see you... It wasn't easy. Since you were pretty far away!"
===
Taki: "... Mitsuha? Mitsuha?! "
Taki: "What I wanted to tell you was... no matter where you are in this world, I will definitely go see you again."
Taki: "It's okay... Mitsuha... your name is Mitsuha! Mitsuha! Mitsuha!! Mitsuha!!!! Your name is... Who are you?"
Taki: "Why did I come here? I came to see her! I came to save her! I want her to live! Who is it? Who am I here to see?!"
Taki: "Important people, people you don't want to forget, people you absolutely cannot forget! Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Who is it!!!! What's your name!!!"
===
"Mitsuha: "Taki... Taki, Taki! It's okay, I remember, and I will never forget! Taki! Taki! Your name is! Taki!!!"
===
The entire room fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
'Is this perverted guy, who seems to be good at everything, really Homura?'
Although Nanami's performance left them all shocked. But, what they were all most shocked about now was Homura's performance.
Nanami was not discouraged, nor did she feel that it was unfair. She was very happy, for the first time ever! After all the studying, she was finally going to make her debut, and she had never expected to have so much fun working with Homura!
'It was really... great! Being able to meet Homura-kun was really great! My dream of becoming a voice actor is really coming true!'
This was a cry from the bottom of Nanami's heart...
