So guys, I'm back from Taiwan!!! \(^o^)/ and I just want to say that it was the best experience in my life. I encourage you guys to join tours like these because you get to meet a lot of new people and friends. And since I got inspired in Taiwan, I'll be making seiyuu fanfics! But my fanfics will be made into separate books. As of now I'm working on Miyu's fic and chapter 1 and it's almost done. But I will publish the story once it's complete because I might change some details later on. Then probably the next seiyuu fanfic will be Kimura Ryouhei's then SuzuKen. If you ask why not SuzuKen first . it's because the atitude of the character doesn't match

Thank you to xRuthlessGalx for helping me with this chapter
