Chapter 265 Kitagawa Umi's Phone Call
What a joke, she hasn't even become Iura Hide's girlfriend yet, how can this girl Kawaharaki Momoka who suddenly appeared look like Iura Hide's girlfriend?
I have to say, even if it's 'Hongxia Mama', maybe because she grew up watching silly anime, sometimes her train of thought is quite like Pochi-chan's.

However, apart from Yamada Ryo who knew her best and could vaguely see that something was 'wrong' with her, no one else knew what she was thinking.

"In that case, why do those two still want to form a rap group?" Chie Takasago asked puzzledly.

This time, before Iura Hide could speak, Rika Kawahara on the side rushed to complain: "Of course, that's because those two guys don't have the talent and ability to become mainstream singers~"

Momoka Kawahara also added: "Although most rappers like American street culture and are influenced by street culture, just like many people like vintage style clothing, the reason why those two guys formed a rap group is that their vocal range is not enough, they can't and don't want to learn musical instruments, and they don't look that good, so they can't be idols, so they can only do rap."

Very good and realistic!

After listening to Kawahara Ki Momoka's complaints, everyone couldn't help laughing, and for a moment even the atmosphere became much more relaxed and joyful.

"So, isn't specializing in rap a dead end?"

“It’s pretty much like that in Neon.”

"Actually, not necessarily." Jingpu Xiu said at this time, because he suddenly thought of the song "Bling-Bang-Born" in his previous life that had defeated a number of new songs from YOASOBI and Green Apple and won 19 consecutive weeks of championship.

Although this song was able to achieve such success, it was also driven by the popularity of the anime "Mathie the Physic Wizard".

But as a rap song, it can still be described as incredible to achieve such a success in Japan.

"Eh? Is Jingpu-kun also interested in rap?"

Momoka Kawahara suppressed her nervousness, shyness, and guilt, and secretly changed the address of "Iura-san" to "Iura-kun".

after all
"Iura-kun calls me Kawahara-senpai, doesn't he?" Kawahara Momoka thought secretly in her heart.

"It's okay, I just suddenly had a little 'inspiration'." Jingpu Xiu also explained at this time.

However, before he finished speaking, everyone exclaimed in unison:
"Eh?"

"Red bean paste?"

“Is it rap inspiration?”

"Well, I guess so." Jing Pu Xiu was stunned for a moment when he saw everyone's reaction, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Then we should write it down quickly?" Kawaharaki Momoka said at this time. From her tone, it seemed that she was even more excited than if she had had the inspiration herself.

"Yes, yes, when inspiration comes, we should write it down quickly, right?" The others also reacted and spoke at once.

"But how can I take notes? There are no notebooks or pens here."

"Use your cell phone! Notes can be replaced by numbers. If that doesn't work, you can just record it!" Yamada Ryoya, who had been busy eating, rarely spoke. It was obvious that he was very experienced in this area.

"Yes, yes, yes! Ryo-senpai is right! We can record it with our phone!"

"Forehead"

Jingpu Xiu held the spoon in his hand to his lips, looking at those pairs of eager eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It was just an "inspiration", was there any need to be so excited? Besides, even if his memory wasn't as good as Pochi-chan's, it wasn't bad.

While secretly complaining, Jingpu Xiu put down the spoon, picked up the phone next to him and unlocked the screen.

"Forget it, just record it casually."

Just as Jingpu Xiu was thinking this, a phone call came in at this moment.

"Huh? Is it Hai Meng?"

He looked at Kitagawa Umi's name on the caller ID and was slightly stunned. Normally speaking, if Kitagawa Umi had something to ask him, he would just send him a message directly.

If you call
"Is it something urgent?"

As he was thinking, he immediately picked up the phone. When he put the phone to his ear, he heard Kitagawa Umi's apology voice with a hint of anxious annoyance from the other end of the phone.

"I'm sorry, Senior, I just accidentally revealed your identity!"

"identity?"

When Iura Hide heard this, his first reaction was that his identity as "Luffy" was exposed, which made his face change and he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​"running away". After all, the number of people on the Internet who wanted to send knives to him, the "murderer of Xiaoxun", could probably fill up the entire audience seats of the martial arts hall.

However, after Kitagawa Umi quickly explained it, he breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it was just a false alarm.

Kitagawa Umi was just accidentally arguing a little loudly with Inui Sasuke while having lunch with Ozora, Inui Sasuke and the others, and the makeup artist who was passing by the break room heard it and figured out that he was Kitagawa Umi's 'mysterious boyfriend'.

"Idiot, didn't I tell you that there's no need to hide our relationship? If I wasn't worried about paparazzi or extreme fans harassing you, I would have just tweeted our photo~" Iura Hide said with a relaxed smile.

This made Kitagawa Umi on the other end of the phone feel much calmer. She felt the pampering and concern implied in his words, and her heart was filled with sweetness again.

"But I'm still worried that exposure will affect my seniors' careers."

"Dai Jiao Pai~Dai Jiao Pai~I am an original singer who makes a living by my ability, not an idol who makes a living by my looks, so it won't have any impact~ And have you forgotten, I originally planned to be an internet singer who doesn't show my face~"

Kitagawa Umi was finally completely relieved and then talked about another thing.

"The makeup artist's sister is the president of a newly opened voice actor agency. It just so happens that their voice actor agency is preparing to audition for an anime, and that anime just so happens to be soliciting theme songs, so the makeup artist wanted to ask me to ask the senior to come out and meet her sister."

"Senior, you said last time that you didn't want to deal with these people, so I wanted to refuse directly."

"But I just checked online, the anime that is being planned is based on a very popular and passionate manga."

"Then, Dakong looked at the information from the producer and felt that after the animation, it should have the potential to become a seasonal hegemony show."

"So, senior, do you want to meet with the president of that voice actor agency?"

After hearing this, Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

The theme song of the seasonal hegemony series? In the Japanese music industry, this is a high-quality resource that even top-tier singers will try their best to obtain.

The copyright of this customized song still belongs to the singer, but the singer can get extra money from the animation production company, and can use the popularity of the animation to increase the sales of the song itself. Obviously, no singer would refuse this "win-win" opportunity.

As for what the president of the voice actor agency was thinking, it wasn't difficult to guess.

The other party will help him to make connections and introduce him to animation production companies. If the song he wrote is selected as the theme song of the animation, he will also help the voice actors of the other party's agency to compete for the voice-over roles in the animation. Although the final selection of voice actors is mainly decided by the director, supervisor and original author.

Especially when the original work is a best-seller, the original author has the greatest say.

However, once his song is chosen as the theme song, it will definitely be recognized by the original author, so there will still be a chance for him to say a word or two to the other party.

Before they knew it, Hoshino Ai and the others had all stopped eating and pricked up their ears.

Especially the two sisters, Rika Kawahara and Momoka Kawahara, looked at Iura Hide with envy and admiration, and even subconsciously forgot to breathe.

"What's the name of the comic?" Iura Hide thought for a moment and asked.

This kind of customized song felt a bit troublesome to him, but he couldn't directly reject the kindness of Kitagawa Umi and Oosora, so he planned to first take a look at what the comic was to see if he could find a suitable song, and then decide whether to meet with the president of the voice actor agency.

"The name of the comic is 'The Brave Man Summoned to Another World Can Only Perform Physical Attacks.'" Kitagawa Umi said immediately.

"Then let me take a look at the original work before deciding!" said Iura Hide.

The name sounded familiar to him even though he hadn't actually read many comics or anime about this world. It must be a very popular work.

"Okay, senior. I'll go talk to her then."

"Well, remember to eat lunch well."

"Hey, I know. Senior, too!"

"."

After talking to each other for a few more times without paying any attention to the people around him, Jingpu Xiu finally hung up the phone.

Before he could open his mobile browser to search for the comic, Chie Takasago beside him couldn't wait to say, "How about going to my bookstore? My bookstore has the complete set of this comic!"

"It's just a boring comic that only people whose mental age is that of a junior high school student or even an elementary school student can read." Gogen Ruri, who had been quiet all this time, couldn't help but complain silently in her heart. It was obvious that she had heard of or even read this comic.

"Sorry to bother you." Jingpu Xiu didn't think much about it and agreed naturally.

However, after hearing his agreement, Chie Takasago's smile became even brighter.

"No way, has this guy fallen so deep? It doesn't make sense."

Noha Sugaya on the side tilted her head slightly, looked at Chie Takasago with complicated eyes, and couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Just now, Iura Hideto and Kitagawa Umi were showing their affection so much, but Takasago Chie seemed to have seen or heard nothing at all. This was really hard for her to understand.

Obviously, she still underestimated the acceptance of certain things by a hardcore light novel fan and heavy comics fan.

It's like, in the original work, even though Chie Takasago could see that Izumi Masamune liked Sagiri, and was also having unclear relationships with girls like Yamada Youjing and Senju Muramasagi, didn't she still like and wait for Izumi Masamune?
In this respect, her setting is actually somewhat similar to that of Gokou Ruri.

However, neither Izumi Masamune nor Kousaka Kyosuke had any plans to start a harem, so both Gokou Ruri and Takasago Chie ended up leaving the stage in disgrace.

But now that the door to Jingpu Xiu's harem is wide open, she will naturally become more proactive.

However, Sugaya Noha, who couldn't figure it out, didn't continue to worry about it, because compared to worrying about this matter, there was another thing that was more important now.

"Senior, I haven't written down the inspiration I just had yet!"

"."

Iura Hide, who had just picked up the spoon, couldn't help blinking. He looked at the curry that was gradually cooling down, then looked at Sugaya Noha who looked concerned. Finally, he reluctantly picked up his phone again and recorded his "inspiration".

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Kitagawa Umi was thinking about whether she should tell the makeup artist the news immediately, or listen to Iura Hide and go to lunch obediently, and wait for Iura Hide to read the comics and think it over before replying to the other party. But the makeup artist had already run over impatiently.

"How's it going, Hai Meng? I just called my sister, and she said that the production company of this comic that's going to be animated is aiming to be the top comic of the year! There are many large talent agencies competing for such resources!"

"Hey. I just called my boyfriend and told him about this. He said he wanted to read the comics before making a decision." Kitagawa Umi explained a little embarrassedly.

Such an answer startled the makeup artist and she frowned unconsciously.

It is expected to become the theme song resource of the hegemonic anime of the year. Do you have to read the comics first? Even a first-line singer should agree to it first.

But then she remembered Iura Hide's 'personality' - a super popular genius high school student with unrivaled talent.

Since debuting, they have released four songs, which not only made it into the top 20 of the weekly charts, but also won two weekly championships in a row, crushing many first-tier and even super-first-tier singers, bands, and popular top idol groups.

Isn't it normal for such a genius to be a little arrogant and look down on such resources?

After all, he was able to win the weekly championship without relying on the influence of film, television, and animation!

Now she finally realized why her sister had repeatedly reminded her to be polite when she was on the phone just now.

With Iura Hide's popularity and talent, even such high-quality resources are dispensable to him.

However, her sister's voice actor agency only has some "raw voice actors" under its management, that is, new voice actors who have just entered the industry and are still learning, and they need Iura Hide to be able to bring them help after being selected.

Thinking of this, the makeup artist's frown immediately relaxed and was replaced by a friendly smile.

His posture, which was already low to begin with, suddenly became even lower.

"Is that so? Once you have any news, Hai Meng-chan must tell me immediately so that I can tell my sister."

After a slight hesitation, the makeup artist continued, "Because the audition day for the role is scheduled for next Wednesday, my sister will be a little busy."

"Okay, I'll remind my boyfriend. Once I have any news, I will definitely call Masumi-san as soon as possible."

"Then I won't disturb your rest."

"Please don't say that. I'll have to ask Masumi-san to do my makeup later."

The makeup artist then said hello to Dakong who was standing beside her, and then left the lounge.

After she left, Ozora couldn't help himself and approached Kitagawa Umi and joked, "As expected of a big star's girlfriend, Masumi-sister has obviously become much more respectful to you~"
