314 The Female Cast Has Been Completed (1/2)
”Knight of Ice and Fire and Silver Knight have both applied to be voice actresses... won't this be too much work for you two?” Seiji asked after he finally managed to get Hoshi and Hisashi to stop fooling around. ”Since you're also acting as our artist and music composer respectively, I think it's too much to ask you to be voice actresses as well.”
”Perhaps,” Yukari said, ”but I want to do this. Since I've already joined in, then I should do what I think would best add to this game instead of caring about my losses, don't you think? Of course, making my request is one thing, and whether or not you approve it is another. If Milord feels that it's inappropriate, I shall accept it as well.”
”I agree with Knight of Ice and Fire,” Rion and Kotomi said. ”Everything should be decided by Milord.”
Seiji fell silent for a moment and contemplated the matter. ”Sweet Pig Knight, what do you think?”
”It could be a problem if any of you are overburdened,” Hisashi responded, ”but I agree with Ice and Fire Sensei. They should do as they feel best, rather than being concerned about their losses.”
”So you approve of their request?”
”I have no objections.”
Seiji fell silent again for a while. ”You're all absolutely certain that you can work as voice actresses on top of your other job?” he asked solemnly.
”I'm not certain, but I'll try my best!” Yukari promised.
”Same for me,” Rion and Kotomi said.
”Alright... so we now have three voice actresses for three female characters: Phantom Knight, Knight of Ice and Fire, and Silver Knight.” Seiji came to this decision.
”You should make it four,” Chiaki said. ”If the other two can be accepted as voice actresses in addition to their original positions, then I believe that Blue Sky Apprentice Knight should be accepted as well.”
”Hmm... that's reasonable. Then, shall we formally initiate Blue Sky as an official knight?”
There were no objections. And so, Mika became an official member of their group.
”Now that we have voice actresses for four female characters, this humble one is of the opinion that with just one more, we'll complete our female cast!” Hisashi said. ”And this humble one just happens to have someone to recommend.”
”The person that you're recommending… could she be...”
”It seems that our king instantly saw through me. That's right! I'm about to recommend my younger sister who fills me with pride!!” Hisashi sent a brilliantly shining emoticon.
Yukari's curiosity was piqued. ”Sweet Pig Knight has a younger sister? What kind of person is she?”
”She's a great beauty! Milord knows her in real life. As for her beauty and talent… not only am I proud of her as her older brother, even Milord recognizes her beauty and talent!”
”I've already asked her. I wouldn't have recommended her if she wasn't willing. Milord, what's your opinion on having her as the fifth female character?”
”I... think that it's fine.”
”Then let's invite her immediately!” Hisashi instantly sent Seiji Kaede's internet ID for the chatting application.
Seiji added the ID ”Merry-Go-Round” to their chatting group.
”Good evening, everyone. I'd delighted to be able to join you all. I shall do my best to do my part as well.” Kaede greeted them politely with a smiling emoticon.
Everyone else greeted her as well, and explained their group's purpose and setting to her before they resumed their conversation.
”Back to the main topic, as for our game scenario... are we going to use my idea of writing the female characters' route based on our voice actresses?” Seiji asked. ”Does anyone have any other ideas?”
”I think that using Milord's idea is fine; I have no other ideas.” Yukari sent an emoticon of approval.
Chiaki, Mika, and Rion and Kotomi sent the exact same emoticon.
Kaede asked about the specifics of the story, and Hisashi gave her a basic outline. After she understood, she agreed as well.
”Okay then, let's go for this as the basic plot, and then write the overarching scenario,” Seiji said. ”In that case, I'm going to need to have a personal discussion with each of our voice actresses... and before that, what's everyone's opinion the main theme—a boy disguising himself as a girl in order to secretly enter a renowned girls' high school?”
Everyone unanimously agreed on this theme.
