Tokyo Sound

"Yes." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded.

"Wei-chan, are you guys eating together? What are you eating?" Yin Ze continued to look at the little girl who was following behind his friend. Although they were not as familiar with each other as close friends, it did not affect their friendly feelings. To be honest, Ogura Wei was the youngest voice actor the man had ever seen on the set, so it was inevitable that he felt like a brother taking care of a child.

"Ramen." Ogura Wei answered politely.

"This is too easy. Songgang, why don't you take others to eat something good?" Yin Ze sighed artificially, "You two even worked on a radio show together."

The man had also heard the broadcast of "The Memorandum of God" by these two people. Generally speaking, it was very stable. It was just that Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, as an adult who established a school, asked middle school students about various life philosophies, which was a bit too serious. Obviously, he had the emotional godfather Shimazaki Nobunaga and the contemporary outstanding youth Yin beside him.

After listening to the whole thing, Master Yin could only come to one conclusion.

...I wish my partner could be as well-educated, gentle and sensible as this child.

"Of course I can't compare to some people who eat and drink the fine food." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu glanced at the bento boxes on their dining table. There was gravy flowing and the rice smelled rich. There was mockery and weirdness in his eyes.

Yo.

A rare sour performance.

"This is my reward for tasting the food, and it's the due treatment." Yin Ze explained seriously, "Chef Uchida is pursuing other possibilities, and I have more than 20 years of experience in Sichuan cuisine, which is very important."

"If that's the case, then I can do it too." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu didn't argue, he just said.

"Well, that's why the focus is Sichuan cuisine. This is my unique competitive advantage." Yin Ze was sure.

"Why are you so childish?" Uchida Maaya said helplessly.

"Mr. Matsuoka, I don't think you can do it." Ogura Yui spoke softly from behind. She has always been a very quiet person and very well-behaved on the set, but now there was a hint of teasing in her tone.

"Why?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu frowned slightly, realizing that things might not be simple.

"As for the specific reason..." Ogura Wei opened her mouth, then looked at the handsome men and beautiful women at the dinner table, but stopped halfway through her words. She looked so cute with her hand covering her mouth.

"Next time I have a new idea. If you don't mind, Matsuoka-kun, why don't you join in?" Uchida Maaya suddenly became a little nervous. She glanced at the boy who was eating ginger duck and said quickly.

"Uh, okay, if you don't mind?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was stunned.

"Weren't you quite confident just now? Why do you look so hasty again?" Yin Ze felt strange.

"No, no, you misunderstood. What I meant was that I can cook for you, and that's fine by me." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu waved his hand and said, "I also have some new and novel cooking ideas occasionally, although my cooking skills may not be as good as Uchida-san's."

Uchida Maaya's chopsticks stopped.

Ogura Yui was inexplicably silent.

"We are brothers, and helping each other is my duty. Just bring your lunch box with you next time!" Master Yin was quite happy, as this meant that the free lunch DLC appeared.

A short hiatus.

"Congratulations on getting a new job. From today on, I will transfer this gourmet job to Matsuoka-kun." Uchida Maaya laughed and bit the fried chicken in her lunch box very hard. Maybe it was fried too burnt.

"Speaking of which, last time you talked to Nobunaga about the light novel illustrations, what was going on?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu came over and sat next to him.

"The publication date of the physical book has not been set yet. Let's wait until he has finished figuring out those things." Yin Ze shrugged.

The two of them chatted wordlessly.

"Hyouka is gaining momentum. The animation is really well made and has received high ratings online."

"You haven't shaved for a few days? Are you finally going to go for the mature, handsome look?"

"A new batch of new people has come into the firm. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you and I both have several juniors."

"A few days ago, Iwazawa and Haruka were talking about when they could get together again and make dumplings or something."

"Why do you still carry bean paste with you?!"

"Oh, I've finished eating at home. I bought this on the way here today. Isn't this just right? Can it be used as an addition to lunch?"

Ogura Yui also sat beside them, looking at the two guys arm in arm, looking very familiar with each other, then looking at Uchida Maaya who had already closed the box next to them, propping up her head and staring at them silently.

For a moment, I was unsure about my guess.

Chapter 37: Harbor of the Soul

"From not visiting the office for three months after joining to showing up whenever you have time, this is a very significant improvement. But are you satisfied with that? You poor boy! Do you hear me? Stand up, use your social skills, and charm the big shot!" Kashiwai Ippei looked down at the young man slumped on the sofa in the reception hall and spoke passionately.

Yin Ze simply looked up and took a sip of the drink on the table, then continued to browse his phone, collect expedition rewards, and carry out strengthening and transformation matters. After many days of training, his "Hidaka Rina Fleet" has matured.

"Others are standing there treading on thin ice, bowing to the seniors passing by, just for a familiar face and an opportunity, but you are treating this as a teahouse, taking advantage of the free air conditioning and drinks. You are really arrogant. Young people should not be so arrogant. Do you really think that I, Kashiwa Ippei, have been in power for half my life and I have no soldiers to use except you?"

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. The imported fermented bean curd has been delivered and there's no more. How about you ask Mr. Nakajima for some?"

"I'm not here to take advantage of you." Kashiwa Ippei said righteously.

"The sun is rising from the west." Yin Ze reached out his hand calmly, just like a president asking his secretary for a 17 billion contract. "That means there is another job for me, right?"

"It seems that we have passed the stage where we need to observe words and expressions, flatter, and make transitions, and have reached a new level of expressing feelings through eyes." Kashiwa Ippei smiled slightly and took out a simple copy paper. "Here is a broadcasting job, take a look first..."

The man's hand retracted instantly, and his whole body twisted on the sofa like a grass carp jumping onto the river bank.

"What are you doing?" the agent asked. "Is this a throwback?"

"I have broadcast PTSD."

Master Yin said painfully, at this second, there are endless malicious images flashing before his eyes, and the chaotic and evil laughter of netizens is like a night owl, like a devil, one after another, surrounding his ears. He fired rockets under the audience, ah wu wu wu. Some people pointed at him and laughed, saying he was a eunuch in the palace, some people were happy to repeat the anecdote of cockroaches chasing the host and the chief returning the cherry blossoms and running away, and some people were crying for the heroic oil thief by the river. The reason why the matter failed was that he wanted to rob him alive, and he must get a contract to repay his assistant.

"Ah, my head is splitting with pain. Hurry, call Hua Tuo!" Yin Ze thought of those ghost videos and clips, and felt that his dignity was slipping away.

"Really? I don't believe it." Kashiwa Ippei said, "You have no idea how much energy is contained in your body. In this world, even a piece of toilet paper or a pair of boxer shorts has its use. What's more, you are a natural clown who has hosted several episodes like this and once won the top three on the Yinquan platform? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

"I've only done a few shows, and I'm already the head of the East Factory, a treacherous eunuch, not a man anymore. If I continue doing this, I'll even be a non-human." Yin Ze said, "You'd better find someone else. Anyway, we're just torturing a man, so it's okay for Mr. Matsuoka."

"This is an animation broadcast. Matsuoka didn't even appear in the show, so how can he do it?" Kashiwa Ippei frowned, "Are you going to do it or not?"

"I can't do it." Yin Ze nodded heavily.

"Can't do it?"

"can not do this."

"…When I first listened to the Dark Fantasy Talk, I thought I had met Tokugawa Kuo and felt that he could lead animation broadcasting into a new abyss, but that doesn't seem to be the case." Kashiwai Ippei sighed softly and said sadly.

"The host is responsible for both making comments and being made fun of, and he is definitely not a heartless person. So I don't have the strength to face an evil god-level broadcast that is impossible to do. You should understand, right?" Yin Ze also said sincerely.

"I can't do it at all? I don't understand." Kashiwa Ippei's eyes welled up with tears, and he shook his head slowly, "Yeah, since when, maybe the day I met you, I also began to believe that as long as I work hard, I can get a salary increase..."

"Even if you become Saya today, I still refuse." Yin Ze said. Be wary of your agent playing the social animal card.

"The other party is a newcomer to the Osawa Office." Kashiwai Ippei said in a businesslike manner.

"Quick, quick, call Bian Que!" Yin Ze was panicked.

"It's Ms. Risa Taneda." the agent added.

"What?" The man was slightly surprised, but he couldn't believe it. "It's Miss Taneda?"

"Who else could it be?" Kashiwa Ippei was speechless. "You've been so dazed since you asked for leave a while ago to go out for an outing. Your main show this season is only Hyouka, and you're not even the host this time, just a guest."

"Oh, then I'm OK." Master Yin became gentle and comfortable.

"Why can you accept this?" Kashiwa Ippei frowned, tilted his head, and looked at him carefully, "Are you familiar with Miss Taneda next door?"

"It's okay. I personally think she's a very gentle person. You don't have to worry about your reputation being damaged when working with her."

"Okay, it's settled." The agent saw that the dust had settled, and without any hesitation, the previous tears and encouragement seemed like a dream. He just took a few steps and turned around again, saying nonchalantly, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that our agency prohibits inter-company dating and office romance."

"What does this have to do with me? My love for the company is all because of the air conditioning in this hall." The man began to attack the map with his troops. "Could it be that you have a crush on an employee in the company?"

"…Just a reminder. Also, an agent can date an agent from the same agency," Kashiwai Ippei explained.

"What kind of social rules are these? Why are you the only ones allowed to talk?" Yin Ze was curious, "Can the agent talk to the voice actors?"

"Alas, you guys take the workplace too lightly. If you aspire to be a manager just to get close to voice actors, you'd better give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible." Kashiwai Ippei sighed.

"Why?" Yin Ze raised his eyebrows, realizing that there seemed to be something hidden here.

"I'm very busy and don't have time to argue with you. Remember to go do the broadcast. Okay, I have to go." Kashiwai Ippei snorted and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses. His arrogant, gentlemanly social elite temperament burst out and he left without looking back.

Master Yin sometimes feels that the relationship between him and his agent is like that between a borrower and a creditor. When he borrows money, he calls him "my good brother", but when he calls after the loan, he hears busy tones or the phone is turned off. Sad!

……

I am already familiar with broadcasting work, at least I am familiar with the work location.

The pretty blonde is full of energy, and only when riding such a powerful horse can Yin Ze feel like a good man of the new era, instead of riding an electric bike to buy groceries and being overtaken and despised and ridiculed by middle school students on bicycles.

An eye for an eye, double the amount! [Note: This is a line from the Japanese drama "Hanzawa Naoki" starring Masato Sakai]

"You can't pedal anymore? Haven't you eaten, fellow students? Come on, I've already let off the accelerator~" The man called out to the group of breathless teenage cyclists who were always overtaking him. In their gnashing teeth and indignant eyes over the lack of purchasing power of underage people, he walked away laughing like a villain.

I arrived at the recording location feeling refreshed and at home.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Yin Ze greeted them warmly.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's just about making it bigger and stronger, and continuing its glory." Moriki Hiroshi appeared before his eyes like a ghost, with a formal smile on his face. Following closely behind him was the bald hunk Staff.

All the joy that the man had in bullying middle school students with the power of technology not long ago is gone.

...Excuse me, are you the only general in the animation broadcasting producer world? How is this different from the fact that the Skeleton King only has Ji Ling as a general?

"Why you again?" Yin Ze asked unhappily.

"That's a really bad question." Moriki Hiro clenched his fist, "Of course it's because I've been thinking about you and working hard for you that we can be together again. You're my comrade-in-arms who helped me achieve new success in animation broadcasting. I hope we can reach the top this time, too."

"...It doesn't matter what. I'm just a guest this time, not a permanent resident. If you have any grand plans, you can discuss them with the host." Yin Ze was embarrassed.

"This scene reminds me of the Black Dream Talk, when you were also a guest." Moriki Hiroshi shook his head and talked about the past. "Looking back now, I realize that life is just a repetition. Sigh. So, you should communicate with the host first. Although you must have known each other in the animation studio, dubbing only requires following the script, while broadcasting requires being like friends, and the state and cooperation are completely different."

"Don't worry, I'm really just here to chat." Yin Ze was careful with his words and actions. Now that the secondary creations on N Station are getting more and more out of control, he has decided to be more restrained and hide his interesting soul.

Moriki Hiroshi is very easy to talk to. He shrugged, meaning that it's all right.

Yin Ze adhered to his creed and greeted the host who arrived early. His words were simple and without any flowery words, and he was casual and natural like a neighbor. "Ms. Zhongtian, have you eaten today?"

If we were to rank the worst ways to start a conversation, this sentence would definitely be at the top.

"I ate it." The quiet girl raised her hand and answered, quite seriously, but combined with the temperament of the person who asked the question, there was a sudden humorous atmosphere.

Moriki Hiroshi frowned slightly. This was different from what he had imagined. In the original Dark Fantasy Talk, the host and the partner even knew each other on the set. Before doing the broadcast, they also went through an interview-like conversation.

Is it that they have a very good relationship again???

Hey, why should I say it again?

Chapter 38: Talking and Laughing

The bald, familiar-looking Staff, whose muscles were getting better and better, stretched out his broad palm, retracted his fingers one by one, and began the countdown.

3, 2, 1.

"Hello everyone, this is the Ensei Broadcast of the anime "Hyouka", the 'After-school Classical Music Club'. I am the head of the classical music club and the voice actor of Chitanda Eru, Risa Taneda." The girl leaned close to the microphone and spoke in a quiet and elegant voice.

"I'm a diver in the Classical Club, and the CV for Oreki Houtarou, Takizawa Satoru."

"——Yeah, yeah~ Please take care of me!" The girl made a cute celebratory sound and clapped her hands.

"Please take good care of me..." The man was not able to adjust to the sudden surge of emotions. "Huh? Why are you suddenly cheering for 'getting an SSR'?"

"We need to get the atmosphere lively first, you should join in too." Risa Taneda hooked her finger.

"That won't work. I'm in energy-saving mode now and can't make any enthusiastic whirring sounds." The man said reservedly.

"You seem to have no motivation at all. You look listless. Are you also living a gray life?" asked Risa Taneda.

"Of course. Besides, it is the department head's duty to mobilize the emotions of the members, so I have high expectations of you." The man used the technique of flattery.

"Indeed, the broadcast has already started," Risa Taneda repeated.

"Yeah." Yin Ze nodded.

A few seconds of silence.

"It's already started. What should I do, Oreki-kun? What should I do after the opening greetings?" Taneda Risa's momentum stagnated and she turned around to ask for help.

"Don't ask me, you are the host." Yin Ze shrugged.

“But I have absolutely no experience.”

"Then let's take a look at what's written in the script first, and then choose to trust the power of the scriptwriter and producer of the program team."

"But it says 'Free Talk or ask the guest if you are in doubt' here." The girl showed the manuscript in her hand.
