"How is the work progress lately?" Yusei sent the message.
Sawamura Eriri's reply was swift, coming within seconds.
"It's almost done. Let me send you the images to check."
Following that, a large batch of R-18 images were sent over. It had to be said, Eromanga Author was an industry elite; every single one was excellent.
"As expected of Eromanga Author!" Yusei expressed his admiration.
"Hehe, of course! So, what's next on the work list?" Eriri quickly replied, seeming even more eager than Yusei.
Yusei was slightly taken aback, then a strange smile appeared on his face as he typed his reply, "Are you sure you want to take on the remaining work?"
"Of course! This game production has my heart and soul in it. I can't wait to see the scene after its release. There will definitely be tons of people buying it! Mhmm!"
"Alright then," Yusei replied.
He had originally planned to test the combat system and character models first, but doing the voice acting now wasn't a problem either.
As for the issue of non-professional voice acting, it didn't matter much. Any slight discrepancies in the audio could be adjusted by Yui later.
"Wait a moment. Probably tomorrow. I'll call you when everything is ready."
"Okay."
After bidding farewell to Eriri, Yusei picked up the phone again to contact Hayasaka.
Voice acting naturally required a professional recording studio. Renting one felt like a waste to Yusei, as the Shinomiya Family definitely had idle recording studios.
Hayasaka's efficiency was also very high. She quickly found a suitable place for Yusei, available for use anytime.
With the location secured, personnel were naturally needed next.
Eriri, Asuna, Kaguya... Yusei planned to find a few girls to do the voice acting first, while he would handle the male voices.
However, the most appealing aspects of this game were the storyline routes, the intriguing R-18 scenes, and the combat system.
Voice acting wasn't that crucial, but it was still indispensable.
When Asuna returned from school that evening and heard Yusei's idea, she found it interesting.
"Me, doing voice acting? But I feel like I might make mistakes," Asuna said apologetically.
"It's fine. Minor mistakes can be corrected by Yui," Yusei said with a laugh.
Yui, nearby, also nodded her little head, very happy, "That's right, Mama, don't worry! Yui will help adjust your and Papa's voices to be the best!"
"Then... alright." Actually, Asuna was also very curious about voice acting work. And hearing her daughter's support, she naturally agreed.
"So that just leaves Kaguya. I'll go talk to Kaguya. The voice of the young lady is definitely her forte."
"My family might not be as wealthy as Kaguya's, but I'm still a young lady, aren't I? Why not have me voice the young lady character?" Asuna teased, looking at Yusei.
"It doesn't suit your temperament. Asuna is so gentle, without any haughtiness at all," Yusei said with a smile, pulling Asuna into his embrace for some intimate cuddling.
"Stop it... Yui is still here." Although they were an old married couple by now, Asuna was still somewhat shy.
In private was one thing, but their daughter was right there.
"It's okay! Papa and Mama are being lovey-dovey, so mushy! Yui will give you space!" Yui laughed.
Yui was an AI, so of course she knew everything. She immediately carried away the little fox Hong Hong, who was still trying to peek.
The next day, Asuna, whose body was somewhat unwell, asked for leave and stayed home to rest. Her legs were injured, so she naturally couldn't attend classes.
Last night felt somewhat strange for Asuna.
Because they had already done it long ago in SAO, and she had felt the pain back then too. The time for shyness should have been back then.
But now, although she was still shy, it felt like something was missing.
However, what Asuna felt more was sweet happiness.
'I've completely given myself to Yusei-kun now, haven't I?'
Kaguya had received the message from Yusei early on about doing voice acting today, so she hurried over to the Kazami House.
What awaited her, however, was Asuna on the bed, looking somewhat embarrassed to meet her gaze.
Although Kaguya was pure, after Hayasaka's crash course on her knowledge gaps, she understood the situation.
Her sharp gaze immediately turned to Yusei, the threat in her eyes unconcealed.
Yusei raised his hands in surrender. Kaguya shot him a glare, telling him to leave. The rest was time for girl talk.
Although Hayasaka could be considered a 'master', her knowledge came from books. They truly needed to ask Asuna, the person involved, about the actual situation.
To get the details, so they could be mentally prepared for their own practical experience someday.
Yusei left the room, feeling somewhat helpless. What the two of them were discussing, he had no idea, but it seemed the voice acting work couldn't be completed today.
He felt he was too impatient yesterday.
He had already made an appointment with Eriri for today. Standing her up wouldn't be good either.
Yusei thought for a moment and decided that the two of them should go ahead with the voice acting first.
He called Eriri, arranging to meet at the recording studio Hayasaka had prepared, and then left home.
When Yusei arrived, Eriri had already been waiting there for a while.
Today, Eriri's attire was similar to usual, still in a Japanese-style's schoolgirl fashion: a grey skirt reaching her thighs, a beige-grey jacket on top, with a white blouse underneath.
The twin tails she liked to wear during high school were now gradually worn looser. Compared to before, since entering university, she had become better at styling herself.
"Kazami-kun." Eriri greeted him very politely.
Yusei returned the greeting and said, "I didn't expect you to arrive first."
"My home is closer to here... Let's not talk about that. Let's go record quickly! After recording, can we release the game?" Eriri looked at Yusei excitedly.
"Mhmm, that's right. But it's best to do testing first to prevent any bugs," Yusei said.
Although he said that, with the system Yui created, bugs were impossible. For a project of this scale, Yui couldn't possibly make errors.
"...So, as an employee, I have the right to experience it first, right?"
"Of course. But are you sure you want to help me with the voice acting today?"
