Ch 176 - 15 June, Michiru 01

"Hm, I wonder if it's okay for me to do something like this," Megumi asked as she held the controller in her hand with the television screen showing her playing a game. 

"It's fine. First, I want you to try various games that are similar to our project. I want you to become familiar with the voice acting of these kinds of games." Kouta answered the question from Megumi, who bowed her head softly before pressing the buttons on her controller again, and the game on the screen continued. 

Kouta nodded his head and was happy to see Megumi so far following what he told her to do. It is not much different from what happened to Tomoya, the main character. Sometimes, it feels like the heroines in anime are so good to the MC that they are fine with anything. For example, Tomoya wouldn't have remembered that they had been in the same class for more than a year if Megumi hadn't told him. 

Kouta was still confused as to why Megumi would want to come to Tomoya's house just after being in the same class for more than a year without talking much to each other. Honestly, he, in his past life, would never dare to ask a girl his age who rarely talked to him to come to his house alone. It could be that the heroine is too nice or that Tomoya is built differently.

At the same time, Utaha and Eriri were also working on their assignments in Kouta's room. Although they were supposed to be working, sometimes their movements stopped, and they looked at the screen where Megumi was playing one of the visual novels ported to the console. 

"Hm, it feels very nostalgic—" Utaha muttered in agreement with Eriri who commented on the visual novel.

"Un— I like ending up with childhood friends—" 

"You two, please don't give Megumi any spoilers, alright and let her enjoy the game." 

After that, Kouta went out of his room and headed to his father's small former photo studio. In the end, they were divided into two places because it was impossible for them to work in one place. This room contained Nanami, Miho and Michiru, who was the last to arrive. 

Meanwhile, Miho and Nanami were busy taking turns practising their scripts and commenting on each other. Michiru was playing her guitar while listening to her playing using a headset. Kouta then approached the three of them and placed drinks and some snacks near them. 

"Okay, please enjoy. Ah, I already ordered pizza for dinner." 

"Oh, thank you—" Michiru responded in a cheerful voice. MIchiru's response was followed by Nanami and Miho, who also said thank you. They also took the opportunity to take a short break. 

"Alright, Michiru. I'll see how Nanami and Miho are doing before I listen to your music. Ah, you may continue whatever you are doing." Kouta told Michiru, who replied with a rather cheerful 'Yes'. 

After that, Kouta shifted its focus to Nanami and Miho before doing voice acting exercises, which Nanami has been doing since she joined the project. As for Miho, she was new to this kind of training. It's a bit different because Kouta usually asks them to do voice acting according to the script, and Kouta directly assesses their acting. Then he gives points of correction and the like. This is a method that she is new to.

Miho could only believe in this method after she herself saw Nanami's rapid development. She had only attended these sessions once or twice, so she didn't know how effective Kouta's methods were for her. However, so far, Miho was aware of how strict Kouta's standards were and when he gave them points. Kouta also showed an example of himself doing good voice acting. Honestly, Miho probably believed Kouta himself might take up voice acting for the side characters that Utaha had joked about earlier. 

After finishing with Nanami and Miho, let them rest and also give them time to practice on their own. Kouta moved his attention to Michiru, who was playing her electric guitar using a headset so as not to disturb Nanami and Miho's practice session. Michiru herself is arguably only a side character who rarely gets the opportunity to appear in anime. 

What Kouta can remember is that Michiru became the focal point of the story when Tomoya wanted Michiru to make music for the game. In the end, Tomoya gave Michiru and her band the opportunity to perform at a live house. Once, she was just a side character who sometimes provided fan service for the audience without any progress in the story. 

Well, she was basically Tomoya's cousin and was introduced so late that the chances of her winning were slim. 

Honestly, until now, the only reason that Kouta understood why Michiru was interested in Tomoya was because she had very little contact with the opposite sex of her age. Because if you look at the anime, Michiru seems to come from the countryside, where there are rarely people of her age and only plays with her cousins during vacations. Then, she went to an all-girls school from middle school to high school. 

Hence, the only way Kouta could think of approaching Michiru was to do something to impress her before Michiru started to compare him with Tomoya and found the two of them were very different. The most basic thing was to change Kouta's concept in Michiru's mind from an acquaintance to ah— he was an interesting guy and the like. 

Then the first thing to do is, of course, relate to music, which is currently Michiru's favourite thing. Kouta listened to the music made by Michiru for the background music in the visual novel. Of course, the music made by Michiru would not be as good as the music made by the professionals he heard from his previous life. But at least with his cheating ability, he can direct Michiru to make music that is at least very similar to the soundtrack used by Type-Moon, who made Fate/Stay Night. 

It may be difficult since Kouta himself lacks experience in the music department, but at least he can try. As usual, he listened to the music made by Michiru before comparing it with various music he could remember from his past life. Actually, Kouta could have copied what he remembered and given it to Michiru to make music from his previous life. However, he did not do so because, in the end, he wanted to develop Michiru's abilities so that she could become a good musician with his help. Maybe, in the future, she would become a top musician. 

And if when that happened, Michiru also became one of his girls. Well, that would be a lot better, wouldn't it? 

No, that would be quite extraordinary. So, for now, Kouta had to be a bit patient and let Michiru slowly learn with his help. He compared Michiru's music and began to take notes on parts that he felt were not quite right or that differed greatly from the music made by the original creator in his past life. 

Then Kouta calls Michiru and tells her things like this part is missing and the like. Or Kouta said that he wished for this kind of tone to Michiru without telling her the real answer, so he let her practice. Also, Kouta didn't want to make her imitate what he told her, so Michiru's music still stood out naturally as her own.

Although Michiru looks like a jolly and easygoing person, she is still a serious person when it comes to making music. She listened to Kouta's words before slowly improving her music. She rarely got this kind of treatment. Without realizing it, she enjoyed the conversations and debates between her and Kouta about the music they were making. So, without realizing it, time began to pass towards dinner time. 

Once again, Michiru began to think that this man named Kouta was not so bad after all.

It seems that in the last few chapters I made a blunder by not translating into English. I don't want to make excuses, but at that time I was probably not in a fit state before falling ill. Plus it seems that grammarly didn't read my native language as a problem. Well, I hope I don't make a mistake again, but whose knows. At least I don't see any problem in this chapter. 

Sorry about that and please understand my excuse. Tehe---
