When My Doorbell Rang at 5am, I Got a Wife - Chapter 40: Nakano-san

Chapter 40: Nakano-san

“Hmm… But Nakano-san’s voice, I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before. Where was it? But I’ve never had a conversation with Nakano-san. Why is that?”

“Founder, don’t you know the voice actress Nakano Akina?”

“Of course I know her, she’s a popular active college student idol voice actress who’s been doing lead roles in this season’s anime…” Oh! That’s Nakano Akina’s voice! Wait, are you… Nakano Akina, the popular idol voice actress?”

“Yes, I’m Nakano Akina.”

Upon hearing this, I couldn’t sit still.

I quickly took off Nakano-san’s black hood.

And then, what was this?!

There was the face of Nakano Akina, whom I had seen in interview articles and commercials!

“Wow, seriously?! Nakano Akina was living in the room next to mine?! I’m a huge fan of hers! Oh, I watch ‘Isekai Sextet”’ season 4 every week! I love Erimia!”

“Thank you, founder. Akina is also a devoted follower of the founder. Hehe, we’re the same ♡”

“What, really?”

“Yes ♪ You see, Akina became a voice actress because of her longing for the other world. She wanted to go to the other world, at least in stories, so she became a voice actress.”

“I see… But I’ve never heard that information before. Sorry, I guess I’m not a good fan.”

“No, that’s not true! After all, this is a top secret that I haven’t even told my manager. But since you’re the founder, I told you specially. Hehe ♡”

Nakano-san said this, her voice full of excitement.

Her voice, as if she had stepped out of an anime, was so cute that it was seriously dangerous!

“Um, could you say one of Erimia’s usual lines?”

“Sure… Cough. ‘You’re such a naughty boy, Bals…'”

“The real Erimia-tan! (゜∀゜ 三 ゜∀゜) Hinagiku-san, please release Erimia-tan, I mean, Nakano-san, right away! Please!”

I couldn’t sit still, so I asked Hinagiku-san to release Nakano-san’s restraints.

After all, an active college student and popular idol voice actress is like a living goddess.

As an anime otaku, I can’t allow such an impolite act as binding and throwing her on the floor!

If she were to hurt her throat, which is so important for voicing cute heroines, it would be a great loss to the Japanese anime world!

“I don’t mind. I don’t think they’ll resort to force again.”

Anyway, Nakano-san was released from her restraints and sat on the floor, and we resumed our conversation, facing each other again.

“Once again, I’m Nakano Akina. I’m happy to be able to see the founder like this ♡”

The now-free Nakano-san said this first, and gently held my right hand with her soft hands.

“Fah! Um… what?”

“You have big hands. They’re so manly and full of warmth… I love these hands so much ♡”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Hehehehe.

I got my hands held by an active college student and popular idol voice actress, and she said she liked them! (/ω＼)

“I’m a little nervous, can I hold on to you a little longer?”

“Of course! You can do it anytime!”

“Hehe, thank you, founder ♡ I’ll hold your hand for a while ♡”

Nehera.

An active college student and popular idol voice actress wants to hold my hand for a while! (≧▽≦)

“But still, you became a voice actress for that reason huh.”

“Yes ♡”

Nakano-san then began to intertwine her fingers in a lover’s knot.

“And such a popular active college student and popular idol voice actress was a devoted follower of mine.”

Wow, I’m so happy!

After all, for anime otaku, a popular idol voice actress is a top-level status, like a god.

And that god-like active college student and popular idol voice actress, Nakano Akina, is a follower of mine.

Isn’t that incredibly cool?!

As I, a light anime otaku, happily rejoiced at this unexpected encounter,

“Hmm? Tooru’s reaction is a little strange! It’s the happiest I’ve ever seen! It’s rude to have someone like me and act like a playboy!”

Erika came over, looking unhappy and frowning.

“Well, of course I’m happy to be able to talk to an active college student and popular idol voice actress. Plus, she knows me and says she’s a follower of mine. She even holds my hand.”

Of course, right?

Hehehehe.

“Or are you thinking, deep down, that you’ll order your follower, the popular idol voice actress, to do naughty things, as per the founder’s command?”

“Hey, what do you take me for? Don’t say things that will unnecessarily ruin my social status in a place like this.”

What?

A 30-year-old NEET doesn’t have a social status you say?

It’s true that I’m unemployed now, but I was working hard just until recently!

I didn’t become a NEET on purpose! (Crying)
