I interpret life in Tokyo

"Ah... Higuchi discussed it with me before."

Asakura Toru said softly, she meant that Miss Nanakusa didn't remind them tactfully, but Madoka Higuchi raised the topic.

"What does Asakura-san think?"

"...Call me Tou."

Toru Asakura repeated again.

"——What does Tousang think?"

"Idol life is over, and we have more time." The girl blinked at Kaede Sakakibara.

The young man nodded when he heard the words, "Indeed, university life is busy, Asakura... Tousang can also take a long vacation for himself, and see what he is interested in and what he likes."

"you."

Asakura Toru turned his gaze away, as if he was a little distressed that Sakakibara Kaede couldn't read the meaning of her words.

When Sakakura Kaede stared curiously at Toru Asakura's face, causing a faint blush to appear on the latter's face, a very energetic voice broke in.

"Sakakura-senpai, Asakura-san, good morning!"

"Hello."

"Good morning, Ichinose-san, you look very energetic today."

"Really...really?"

Chizuru Ichinose wore thick study glasses—it seemed that after she and Kaede Sakakibara sighed that night, Chizuru Ichinose habitually exposed her original side to everyone.

Ichinose Chizuru, who was a little shy after being praised, had curly brown hair. Although she was wearing a fashionable coat, her glasses gave her a quiet and serious temperament.

"Senior, it's true, I accept this sentence as a compliment!"

Ichinose Chizuru put her hands on her hips, and now she can show her original personality and speak in front of Kaede Sakakibara.

"I was really praising you."

"Yes...really." The girl felt a little embarrassed again.

Asakura revealed a slightly dazed look, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a half-smile, "...Fengsang, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Ah, okay."

coax!

Mars crashed into the earth in an instant, Ichinose Chizuru was shocked, she watched Toru Asakura showing a free and easy smile at her, and then drifted away.

"You, you, you, did Asakura-san actually call Sakakibara-senpai by his first name?"

Sakakura Kaede suddenly felt a toothache, recalling the look in Toru Asakura's eyes just now, it couldn't be intentional, right?No, given that she usually forgot to bring her wallet when she went out to eat, could it be that she simply forgot?

"Ah... the two of us have known each other for a long time, so we decided to call each other by first names." The young man explained.

Chizuru Ichinose took a step forward, almost in front of Kaede Sakakibara, a blush appeared on the former's face, the proximity made her think of the sweet time when she first met Sakakibara-senpai and pretended to be a couple.

"Senior Sakakibara and I have known each other for a long time, you can also call me Chizuru-san..."

"Forehead..."

The young man felt a sense of déjà vu for no reason, as if he had seen this kind of perspective before.

Oh, he remembered, the recent galgame did have such a plot of calling names, but it was only in the heroine's personal line, and in the common line it was still polite to call her surname.

Sakakihara Kaede thinks that he will never stop running on the road of the common line, but this. . .Three consecutive friends asked him to call him by name, which made him a little suspicious.

Two-dimensional is really different from reality, and reality is even more outrageous.

Just when Kaede Sakakibara's soul came out of his body to watch how the galgame hero reacted in his memory palace, it seemed that the person in charge of the studio came out, and he clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hey, everyone, we are the staff of Dongbao Co., Ltd., welcome everyone to come to the audition. Next, please invite the actor and me to come, and the actress to follow my colleagues. We are about to audition in batches."

"That's it, Senior Feng, definitely, definitely must call me Qianhe."

Ichinose Chizuru firmly held Sakakibara Kaede's hand and squeezed it, and fled after a while.

"...What's the situation?"

Sakakibara Kaede gave a long forehead, he felt the temperature of his palm, this kind of speed doesn't seem to be slow in galgame.

In galgame, two or three months after the male and female protagonists get to know each other—that is, the length of the common line, according to the progress of the Grapefruit Club, that is, after 5 chapters, they will enter the heroine’s personal line.

He has known Asakura Toru for two years, and Ichinose Chizuru for more than a year, according to galgame's time plan. . .Seems to be okay?

In today's society, can classmates and friends call each other by their first names after knowing each other for more than a year?But in his impression, those old classmates of Zongwu High had never done this.

What is the situation.

Kaede Sakakibara stood in the line without knowing it. Now that men and women are separated, there are about 40 to [-] male actors selected in the first batch, no more and no less.

Although he was at the end of the line, he was the second one whose name was called. Kaede Sakakihara was still in the lounge drinking tea and comprehending life, but he was called directly by the staff.

Approaching the audition room, the general configuration here is similar to that of the actor audition, except this time there are seats and a microphone in front of the seats.

Kaede Sakakihara has recorded songs in the studio, so he naturally recognizes that this microphone can make the sound sound clearer and more textured.

There are two "examiners" in this room. Kaede Sakakihara looked up, and the configuration of the glass similar to the interrogation room let Kaede Sakakibara know that there must be many people watching his every move behind the glass, presumably Makoto Shinkai Teachers are no exception.

"Sakakibara-kun, please read the note on the table in the most natural tone."

"sure no problem."

Sakakihara Kaede heard from Aoyama Nanami how voice actors audition. Before the audition, they more or less learned from the agent what kind of anime dubbing they are going to participate in. During the audition and the audition scene, they will try it on the microphone with their own different voices.

Ultimately the voice actor is decided by his or her voice.

Of course, there are some voices that are good, but they are not suitable for this type of theme anime, or there is no possibility of suitable characters, so it is still a bit of a face.

Kaede Sakakibara leaned closer to the microphone, and if it was the most natural, it would be the tone of voice in everyday life.

Thinking of the freehand and loose tone in daily life, Sakakibara Kaede pursed his lips and smiled, for some reason, he thought of Toru Asakura at this moment.

It was so translucent, as gentle as transparent running water, such an audition should be within reach for her.

He smiled, pulled the microphone to his mouth, and read in harmony.

Chapter 18 Today's young people play with flowers

The young man finished reading the manuscript in what he thought was the most everyday, or the most normal voice.

The content of the manuscript is not characters with unclear meaning, but some cold jokes and hell jokes interspersed in the news. For example, looking at the face of President Kennedy, Kaede Sakakibara naturally appeared in Kaede’s mind as a spoof made by netizens. Kennedy’s head left and right Shake the picture of dodging bullets.

This wave of truth did not hold back, although he did not directly laugh, but he still carried out the act of holding back the laughter. . .According to this reaction, it may not pass the test.

"Thank you Sakakihara-kun for your cooperation." One of them nodded and said, he took the manuscript in his hand, flipped a page and asked, "Did Sakakihara-kun try to speak with a female voice?"

"what?"

"Hmm... To put it another way, can you speak from a female perspective, including tone and attitude?"

Kaede Sakakibara scratched the side of his face, what kind of strange request is this, the profession of voice actor is really scary, and the requests are endless.

It's like when he went to audition for a male lead role, but the director's plan made his movements and demeanor appear feminine. . .This kind of situation does exist, but he usually does not get such a role, which is usually given to Takarazuka actors like Yu Kashima.

The men who become voices in Tokyo are all awe-inspiring.

Sakakibara Kaede paused, imagining how he would speak if there was a girl in his body.

After thinking for a moment, he gave up. He had never had such a weird idea. Before that, he always considered himself a man, and it was a bit weird for him to suddenly transform into a woman.

Then imitate whoever speaks.

Sakakibara Kaede nodded secretly. He has many female friends, and everyone has a decent tone of voice, each with their own characteristics.

After much hesitation, he decided to choose Qingshan Qihai's way of speaking.

I have lived with Qingshan Nanami for two or three months, and I am very familiar with each other's tone of voice. Besides, Qingshan Nanami is also a voice actor. Because he also wants to complete the task of the master, he and Qingshan Nanami have filmed a lot of mutual practice lines. Scenes.

Thinking of this, Kaede Sakakibara pondered for a while, and after pulling the microphone closer, he immediately began to imitate Aoyama Nanami's tone.

Smiling at the same place, Kaede Sakakibara was asked to leave the audition room after reading the manuscript. He passed by the actor whose name was read next, and entered another lounge for a short rest.

Here are all actors who have completed their sound auditions. There was no one when the youth stepped in. It seems that the previous actors did not want to wait for the results here, or have new jobs.

Waiting in person is a personal choice, but Sakakihara Kaede feels that waiting here can show that he takes this job seriously. . .Besides, Asakura Toru and Ichinose Chizuru are still auditioning, he has nothing to do in the afternoon, so it's better to wait here.

He has been sleep deprived these days.

The reason is very simple. He and Asuna double-duplicated the book every night, and became the CP combination in the eyes of the guild members. Not only the members of the guild, Yuuki Asuna's level has risen rapidly, faintly catching up with the current strategy group Average Grade Trends.

Asuna often touches equipment with the Tauren Harukaze jungle boss, so everyone in the strategy team thinks that the two are in a strong CP relationship, and maybe they will get married and send out invitations in two days.

As for Asuna's level promotion so fast, in addition to her own consciously finishing her homework and starting to play games every day, there is naturally a reliable teammate next to her.Although the two-person free exploration is not as well-equipped as a four-person team, the progress is not slow at all.

Therefore, Kaede Sakakihara is also staying up late these days, especially after Koichiro Yuki left.

Before, he would knock on the door to remind them that it was almost time and it was time to go to bed. . .Since he left, the two seem to have managed to see the students whose parents left the house, and arranged their time happily and freely.

Squeezing out a yawn, Sakakibara Kaede leaned on the sofa, put his arms on his knees, supported his body, and slowly closed his eyes.

When Ichinose Chizuru finished the audition, she followed the instructions on the side and stepped forward. It was also the first time she participated in this type of audition, but she and Aoyama Nanami were good friends who talked about everything. Before the audition She chatted with Qingshan Qihai for a long time, and she got some help.

But this, asking her to imitate a boy with a girl's voice is difficult for her, she has never had a similar experience before.

Entering the lounge, there was a mixed bag of fish and dragons here. Chizuru Ichinose first leaned aside and took out her mobile phone, and sent text messages to Kaede Sakakibara and Toru Asakura.

After a while, she received a reply, following the direction Asakura Toru described in the words, she raised her head and found Asakura Toru waving slightly at her through the crowd.

"what..."

The girl found Toru Asakura leaning on Kaede Sakakibara who was dozing off on her knees, and immediately stepped forward in three steps.

Since Kaede Sakakibara did it by leaning against the sofa, only one person could sit beside him, and this seat had already been taken by Asakura Toru.

Chizuru Ichinose sat next to Toru Asakura, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a water bottle and took a few sips.

"Senior Feng, you look very tired." Chizuru Ichinose cleared her throat, lowered her head and whispered.

Toru Asakura was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, she gently pulled the young man's body, leaning his center of gravity on her body.

"...I do not know."

"How did Asakura-san's audition go?"

"Well... half and half, it feels a bit challenging."

Asakura Toru turned his face to Ichinose Chizuru and showed his usual smile, "However, I think this kind of audition is quite interesting."

"It's a new challenge for me."

Ichinose Chizuru clenched her fists, full of vigor that a girl of her age should have.

"Do you like Fengsang too?"

Asakura Toru's gentle words beside him were like a piece of cool ice, waking Ichinose Chizuru up from the previous spring breeze, a little blush appeared on his face at some point, "Ah... ah, This, I... I don't know."

"I like Feng, how about you?"

Asakura Toru's tone was still as light as the breeze, but the meaning revealed in it made Ichinose Chizuru blush again, and at the same time her heart moved.

The girl raised her head and looked at Toru Asakura's blue eyes. She didn't see the playfulness and negative emotions she imagined in the other's eyes, and Chizuru Ichinose stared blankly for a moment.

Those were a pair of pure, clear eyes, like a mirror, Ichinose Chizuru could see her own reflection, and she could also see the blush on her face.

"...I like it too." Ichinose Chizuru whispered as if giving up on herself, "There are many people around Feng-senpai, I...I just want to hide this liking in my heart, and I don't want to tell other people. "

"He, he has a popular star like Sakurajima-san, a popular idol like Higuchi-san, and... and a beautiful girl like Asakura-san, I, I can't compare..."

"Shh-"

Asakura revealed a slight smile, and put her finger on Ichinose Chizuru's lips, her feminine movements carried a Takarazuka style of free and easy, "Fede-san is very gentle."

"Ah...he's the one who won't refuse a request."

Toru Asakura felt the warmth of the young man beside her. She had never experienced love at first sight as mentioned in TV dramas, and she didn't understand or understand.

However, when Sakakihara Kaede smiled at her, the words of encouragement when the homework was completed, told her the joy of full marks after the correction was completed. . .She wanted to feel this throbbing feeling in her chest all the time.

She just wants to live like this with the youth.

If among women, Toru Asakura gets along the most harmoniously with Madoka Higuchi and her childhood sweethearts, but among men, there is only Kaede Sakakura.

She will never forget that on the climbing frame a year ago, the young man curiously asked her what she was looking at.
