Chapter 184: 55. Everyone’s darkest hour

"Shijou Ai Sensei! Can you say a sentence to me in Afi-chan’s voice? It’s okay to scold me."

"Hello, of course, there’s no problem~"

In the signing hall next to the main venue, there was a huge poster with many anime characters on it.

At a glance, they were all loli or loli-like characters.

And among the anime characters, there was a high-definition photo of the guest and their introduction:

Shijou Ai, a well-known voice actor in Ying Country.

Notable works include: "Baimon," "Red Dragon Resistance Chronicles"...

At the center of the poster was a cute female with tea-colored bobbed hair and a red hair clip.

It was the famous voice actor herself, Shijou Ai.

Yahashiki in the queue nervously looked at the approaching line, silently taking out the items he had prepared for Shijou Ai’s autograph from his bag.

He could no longer remember when he started being a fan of Shijou Ai.

He only remembered that at first, he fell in love with the protagonist Ming Yin-chan of the Inner World’s "Meeting a Loli after Leaving Work at Half Past Eight," shocked by the nearly perfect vocal performance in the game.

Later, he found out that this work was the only Inner World piece that Shijou Ai had done early in her career when she could barely afford food, using another stage name for the voice acting.

And it was since that work, Yahashiki began to pay attention to Shijou Ai, watching her various interviews and offline vlogs.

Until now, he had completely turned into a die-hard fan.

Shijou Ai was from Ying Country and rarely had overseas signing opportunities.

This was her first visit to Lin Gate, and it might be Yahashiki’s only chance to see Shijou Ai with his own eyes.

He took a deep breath, and even though his heart rate accelerated uncontrollably due to his severe otaku social phobia attribute, he still tried to adjust his expression.

"Wait a minute, where’s the new work by author Charcoal that I bought?!"

"Huh? Didn’t you just put it in your backpack earlier?"

"Right? I put it there in front of you, how could it have disappeared mysteriously?!"

Suddenly, there was a surprised outburst from the queue next to him, Yahashiki glanced over and saw two guys incredulously checking their backpacks.

Had something been lost?

Yahashiki thought to himself.

"Sir, it’s your turn next!"

Not until the next second, when the staff in front called Yahashiki, did he snap back to reality.

Looking forward, the space in front had already been left empty, everyone ahead had finished their signings.

Not far away, Shijou Ai Sensei at the signing table was holding a marker, smiling and looking at Yahashiki, gesturing to him with a beckoning hand.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Yahashiki swallowed, his heart pounding like a drum.

His legs seemed to start moving beyond his own control, a familiar problem caused by his social anxiety.

He remembered when he first agreed to be Yan Huan’s campaign partner, he was persuaded by Yan Huan and resolved to go up on stage to speak.

But as soon as he started to speak in front of a class of less than thirty people, he began to panic, his brain losing function like it was deprived of oxygen.

Just like at this moment.

He walked with difficulty towards the signing table and sat down, while the people behind him were kept outside a few meters away by a yellow line.

This setup ensured a one-on-one intimate signing experience, which was a very fan-friendly design for people with social anxiety.

"Hello there~"

"Y-you... hello... Shijou Sensei."

Right in front of him, Shijou Ai’s smile was bright and cordial, her voice especially lovely, carrying the shadows of past characters, yet he was unable to specify which one.

Her voice was crisp like that of a little girl but also so clear without excessive nasal quality.

Just hearing the first sentence, Yahashiki grew even more nervous.

But Shijou Ai took the initiative to steer the conversation,

"Are you a student from Lin Gate?"

"Yes... Yes, Shijou Sensei!"

Shijou Ai shook the marker in her hand and covered her mouth with laughter,

"Don’t be so nervous, you paid to see me, relax~"

"...Okay."

"So, which of my characters do you like best? Would you like me to say something to you in her voice? And where would you like me to sign? Taking a photo together is fine too~"

Speaking of this, Yahashiki’s overly nervous heartbeat seemed to ease slightly.

Suddenly, a character resembling an angelic loli appeared before his eyes, calling out to him affectionately,

"Landlord-kun, be brave~"

It was none other than Ming Yin-chan, the female lead of "Meeting a Loli after Leaving Work at Half Past Eight," voiced by Shijou Ai.

Feeling the encouragement of his beloved character, Yahashiki took a deep breath and quickly handed the items he held to Shijou Ai.

Then, with his head bowed, he summoned his Qi of Dantian, exerted all his skills, and expressed the words that had been accumulating in his heart,

"I really love Ming Yin-chan voiced by you, Sensei! Since middle school, she has been my favorite character! And it was since then that I started to follow Shijou Sensei!"

Shijou Ai looked at the poster handed over by Yahashiki, and since the game was part of the Inner World, even the cover content was rather embarrassing.

Her lips parted slightly, her smile became momentarily frozen, but then she quickly brightened up again.

"Back then, I was someone who was good for nothing. If it weren’t for Ming Yin-chan’s encouragement, I definitely wouldn’t have achieved what I have today."

Yahashiki kept his head down, knowing that if he looked up at her, he might not be able to say a single word of what he was thinking,

"Whether it was studying, or running for the student council with another excellent person... So, I am very grateful to Shijou Sensei, I’m really thankful for Ming Yin-chan who stayed with me every night!!"
