Anime rating game

Let's take it one step at a time. If some parents really report it, then we'll see.

Moreover, that situation may not necessarily occur.

After all, even in prime time, there are quite a few animated films that skirt the line of what's acceptable.

Compared to those, the Azure Sea is nothing.

Chapter 260: A First Encounter on a Return to an Old Place

It was 9 o'clock when the animation ended.

As is customary on weekends, everyone should go for a bath in a fixed order.

While others are taking a bath, everyone will do their own thing.

However, today they were all stopped by Masamune and remained seated around the kotatsu.

"Zong-kun, what's wrong?" Hayase Kyūe asked in surprise.

"I need to discuss tomorrow's itinerary with you."

"I just got back from my father's house today. I shouldn't need to go far tomorrow. Does Zong-jun have any new travel plans?"

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong."

Masamune shook his head slightly, glanced at Tomoyo, and then spoke:

"I plan to go to Hikari-zaka Town, which is Tomoyo's hometown."

"Although there are still two days left in the holiday, I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go and take a look."

"Of course, you can also travel around outside of work. So, it's half work, half travel. Would you like to come along?"

"What kind of job is it? If we go together, will it cause you any trouble?" Hayase Kyūe asked curiously.

"No, the work is very simple and can be finished in a few hours."

Masamune glanced at Tomoyo again without realizing it, and continued:

“Last year, before we started making the game, our company’s employees went to the various parties involved in the story, but their purpose at the time was just to obtain authorization, so they certainly didn’t explain things clearly.”

"The voice acting for the animation will begin after the Lunar New Year holiday."

"As expected, it will take one to two days to select the voice actors for each character, and then we will begin immediately."

"Logically speaking, this should be work from last month or the month before last."

"However, perhaps because the game came first, everyone probably assumes that anime voice actors are the same as game voice actors."

"In reality, as a visual novel, CL's games are inherently difficult to hire popular voice actors, and there's no need for them to do so."

"The original voice actresses for the two main female characters were Shizuka and Tomoyo, and they will definitely continue to voice the characters in the anime without any changes."

"As for the others, we brought over a group of promising newcomers from Musashino's agency to play a few female roles."

"After all, it's just a game, it doesn't make much money, and there's no chance to reward superpowers, so there's no need to find the person or a popular voice actor."

"If the current voice actors for the animation are the same as those for the game, it will definitely affect the quality."

"It has been proven that having the actor play the role naturally is more effective than having a voice actor."

"Therefore, I plan to go to Hikari-zaka Town and find all the people involved in the anime."

“Since the work isn’t complicated, let’s go together!” Hayase Kyūe said with a smile to the others.

Tomoyo Sakagami remained silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

"it is good."

……

The next morning, shortly after breakfast, the Hayase family drove to Hikari-zaka Town.

The first stop is the home of the female protagonist, Nagisa Furukawa, at Furukawa Bakery.

"Welcome! What would you like to buy?"

Upon noticing Tomoyo Sakagami and Masamune Hayase, Akiyama Furukawa quickly realized what was happening.

"What? So you're not a guest after all."

"No, I'm also a guest. While we're discussing business, I thought I'd buy some of your local specialty breads."

As they were talking, Masamune noticed that Mashiro and Rita were looking at the various breads in the shop, and asked curiously:

"Why are all these regular breads? Where are Aunt Sanae's specialty breads?"

"Are you serious?" Akio Furukawa looked surprised.

"of course."

"Okay, just so you know beforehand, we don't accept returns here."

"No, I just want to take a look and broaden my horizons. I may not buy it, and I may not even eat it."

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

"Ha ha……"

Masamune smiled unconsciously, looked at the various special breads that Akio Furukawa had brought out, and took pictures of each one.

Turning her head, she noticed Mashiro reaching out to a strange-looking bread and couldn't help but ask:

"do you want to eat?"

"It looks interesting."

"What is this again?"

“Jelly bread,” Akio Furukawa interjected. “It’s exactly what it sounds like, combining jelly and bread. You have a good eye; this is one of your successful creations.”

It turned out to be the case.

Masamune seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Sanae bread was just one of the most oddly shaped breads, but not all of them were culinary disasters.

Watching Mashiro put the bread into her mouth, Masamune couldn't help but ask:

"what about the taste?"

"It's not quite what I imagined."

"I'll give it a try too."

Masamune also picked up a jelly bread and took a small bite.

Well, the jelly was delicious, and the bread was delicious too; each was a gem on its own. But when you put them in your mouth at the same time, the taste was just so-so.

However, it wasn't exactly unpalatable.

Is this considered a successful product?

"Of course it counts. Otherwise, you can compare it to octopus bread."

As they were talking, Akio Furukawa picked up a bread roll filled with octopus with his chopsticks and showed it to the group.

"Octopus shouldn't be too bad, right?" Masamune asked hesitantly.

"It tastes really good when it's freshly made, but it doesn't taste as good after it cools down."

"Too."

Masamune nodded slightly, showing no intention of knowingly taking a risk.

"Alright, let's get down to business. The animation is half finished, and the voice acting is about to begin. Our purpose this time is to invite you to do the voice acting."

"No. Let the professionals handle this. When I first read the script, Sanae cried her eyes out, and ever since then, she's been visiting graves every day. Doing it a few more times would be really bad for her heart."

"Don't you have any plans to move the bakery to Tokyo? We can cover all the expenses. Besides, the number of customers will definitely increase significantly after the anime airs."

"No, I'm already so old, why would I need to move?"

Masamune hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:

"Has Tomoya told you about Okazaki Shio's situation?"

"Although her surgery was successful, she needs to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, so she has to stay in Tokyo."

“Tomoya is too busy with work, and he comes from a single-parent family, so it’s difficult for him to take good care of her.”

“If you’re willing, I can find someone to help you choose a good place: a shop on the first floor, you can live on the second floor, and they can live on the third floor.”

"Living together means we can look out for each other."

This time, Akio Furukawa fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

The reason why he stubbornly stayed in Guangban Town, besides having lived there for decades, was also to make it easier to help Nagisa sweep her grave.

But Xi's condition is also a cause for concern.

Tomoya is too busy with work, and although he is young, given his personality, it is clearly impossible for him to remarry.

If Shio were healthy, there would be no need to worry, but she inherited Nagisa's congenital heart disease, so even if the surgery is successful, she is still not considered healthy.

"Sanae went to sweep the graves. I'll discuss it with her when she gets back."

"Okay, here is my business card. If you'd like to move to Tokyo, you can give me a call."

"Thank you."

Leaving Furukawa Bakery, Tomoyo hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"You're not planning to move everyone who's appeared in the anime to Tokyo, are you?"

"No. I'm just a little worried about Okazaki Shio. A while ago, when I was driving past Tomoya's current place, I saw her sitting alone on a swing in the park."

At this point, Masamune sighed softly:

"I've thought of many solutions, but after careful consideration, I've realized this is the only way to resolve it."

silence.

After a long silence, Tomoyo said softly:

Where to next?

"The Fujibayashi family, although I feel they are unlikely to agree, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try."
