POV: Kyo

As soon as I finished acting, I looked forward and slowly wiped away the tears I had shed. All four of them were staring at in silence, unable to believe what they had just seen.

'That was a new feeling for . An incredible feeling.'

I had never experienced anything like it before.

It was as if I had traveled to a completely different world and truly beco Sota Mizuno. Everything felt so real in my mind. 'Does this have sothing to do with my "Acting" skill being Rank S?'

I smiled in satisfaction and waited for them to say sothing.

Then the old man I had spoken to earlier—the investor—started clapping.

Clap~~ Clap~~ Clap~~

I didn't understand what was happening, but soon the others did the sa.

This ti, I wiped my face with my shirt, and then the man finally spoke.

"That was incredible. It's the first ti I've had the chance to see sothing like that in person. Your acting was so perfect that I thought I was watching soone else. I thought I was seeing Sota Mizuno."

Wait, he read the script? Well, if he's an important investor, that makes sense.

"The look of disgust on your face as you stared at Minami—it was as if you were truly looking at her. What were you imagining and thinking at that mont?"

They all looked at expectantly, wanting to explain what I had felt. After thinking for a mont, I sighed and said, "I wasn't feeling anything—I just did it. I imagined Minami in front of , and I imagined myself as Sota. It's like he took over my body for a mont. I can't explain it in detail."

"I see," said Takumi, the director. "I was truly impressed."

"Thank you, Director." I bowed my head in gratitude.

"Kyo Evans, I truly thank you for letting witness sothing so beautiful," said Hiroshi Kanto, the writer. He was older and smiled gently at . "Your performance was perfect. When I wrote that scene, this is exactly what I had in mind… your expression, your voice, the emotion you conveyed. Have you really never acted before? Never done theater? Nothing at all?"

Hearing so much praise made a little embarrassed, I admit.

But I smiled and confidently replied,

"I've never taken acting classes, but I've practiced a few tis in the shower and in my room. I'm glad I was able to show you sothing that satisfied you."

"Satisfied? We're more than satisfied! Not only are you good-looking, but you have incredible talent! You've never taken acting classes and can do that? We can't leave you out of this project!" the investor said.

"Director, Writer—Kyo Evans will take the role of Sota Mizuno. I want him in this series. Honestly, I'd even give him a bigger role, but all the actors have already been cast."

"Hahaha, that's fine." He got a little too excited.

Then I asked,

"So I passed, right? The audition."

All four of them laughed, as if I had asked a silly question.

I looked back and saw my mother covering her mouth, her eyes filled with tears. Then she lowered her hands and gave a big smile. I could read her lips—she said, "Congratulations! You did it!"

As soon as I left the room with my mother, I started hearing them discussing my performance inside, so I moved closer to the door and listened.

"That kid gave chills. I've never seen soone embody a character so easily like that. That can't just be a thod acting technique, can it?" It was the investor's voice.

Then I heard Director Takumi Hayashida. "I don't know if that was thod acting, but it was impressive. When I recomnded him, I thought he would be good—but not at this level."

"Your intuition is very sharp, Director. Maybe you sensed sothing different about him the mont you saw his photo—sothing you can't even explain."

Listening to their conversation, I smiled.

Then my mother approached from behind and asked, "What are you doing here? Are they talking about you?"

"Sothing like that. I think I left quite an impression."

"You left an impression on too. What was that back there? Watching you made want to hug you! You really looked like you were angry and suffering!"

"Even I don't fully understand what I did back there. Maybe it's just an innate talent?" I chuckled and walked toward the elevator. Then I took out my phone and sent a ssage to Rina.

[The audition just ended. They should've told I'd be the only one—I thought there would be other actors.]

[In the end, everything went well. They were very impressed with my performance.]

A few seconds later, Rina replied:

[I'll be at the building entrance in five minutes.]

I took the elevator down, and exactly five minutes later, Rina showed up.

I got into the car with her and my mother, and she said, "Congratulations. I knew you would pass, but I didn't expect you to impress the director and the writer."

"You should've seen him in there—I was completely shocked," my mother said excitedly.

I smiled wryly and said, "Well, now I just have to wait for filming to start. In the anti, I'll focus on finishing the last volus of Oregairu."

"Oregairu? What's that?" Rina asked, confused.

Right… they don't know I'm a writer.

In fact, not even Rikuya or anyone else at the company knows that I'm a writer. I should talk to Rikuya about that.

"Kyo, is it really okay to tell them?"

"Tell us what? Are you hiding sothing important?" Rina asked.

The driver, Daiki, was also curious.

Huff…

I let out a sigh and said,

"Do you know Overlord? I'm the author, Aoi Haruki."

"You!?" Rina shouted in shock.
