Tokyo Sound

"What? So perfunctory? Not doing anything practical? Is Moriki Hiroshi a Chinese football player who just passes the ball to others and is responsible for it?!" the man was indignant.

"What you said is very biased. Although I don't pay much attention to sports, I know that the level of Chinese football is the best in Asia. The analogy is inappropriate," said Risa Taneda.

"…It's hard to explain. I still can't believe that we made it to the World Cup three times and beat Argentina 5-0." Yin Ze pondered. In contrast, Japanese football was completely stuck in a quagmire, losing to Myanmar and India, and was about to lose to Vietnam.

"Anyway, Oreki-kun, let's talk about something interesting first, please!" Risa Taneda spread her hands.

"No matter how much you beg with Chitanda's voice, I can't do what I can't do. After all, I'm not that little boy who doesn't know how to say no. Humph, don't confuse voice actors with roles." Master Yin snorted, but he was still chivalrous and said uprightly, "Calm down first. You're as excited as a primary school student on a spring outing. This program is a radio program of the TV animation "Hyouka" produced by Kyoto Animation, which will be broadcasted in April by Chiba TV and other TV stations. In our efforts, we will present you with precious animation information, as well as the long gate array and chat between the two members of the Classic Club."

"Yeah~" The girl set the mood at the right time.

"…I don't know why I feel a little scared." The man paused.

"No, no, please take care of me. I can't handle it at all. I really have to rely on you." Risa Taneda lowered her head humbly like a student.

"Well, uh, actually." Yin Ze suddenly became shy and said without confidence, "Actually, it's the same for me. I'm not used to doing broadcasting with a girl."

"Are you lying?" Risa Taneda immediately pointed it out.

"?"

"Before you came, Mr. Moriki Hiroshi had already reminded me that you would definitely want to slack off at that time, and I would need to keep putting pressure on you in order to unleash your talent," explained Risa Taneda.

"What's wrong with that person?! He just does his job perfunctorily and makes money by doing nothing, but he also instigates the host to whip the guests mentally?" Yin Ze was very dissatisfied. He looked at the staff standing outside with their arms folded and watching silently, and began to spread the idea of ​​rebellion. "Staff, don't you want to overthrow the superiors and replace them? Don't you have the ambition to change the world?"

Unexpectedly, a group of uncles shook their heads slowly with solemn expressions.

You are willing to be depressed and inferior to others for a long time. You are a boy and not worthy of being my advisor!

"This is my first time to be a regular at an event, and also my first time to do a broadcast. I was very nervous at first, but when I thought that Oreki-kun would be the first guest, I immediately felt relieved." Taneda Risa blinked and spoke sincerely, "After all, the senior is so cheerful, and he was very gentle and measured when talking to me. The conversation was full of philosophy, so I thought, ah~ I can leave it all to you this time. Mr. Moriki also said that no matter what kind of awkward situation or topic, you can handle it-"

"Well, gentlemen, if you can tolerate this person, he can do whatever he wants in this industry." Master Yin pointed to the center of the audience, the radio producer, and said, "Then I will retire and return home."

Moriki Hiroshi just pushed his glasses, silently revealing a hint of disdain.

"Could it be that you are the type of person who is obviously a good person who returns lost property, but when others take the initiative to ask for help, you turn your head away and are tired of taking advantage of them? If that's the case, I should change my approach." Risa Taneda had an expression that said, "I see."

"What do you want to do?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"I am too utilitarian. In fact, there is no need for you to ask for anything. Because next time, as long as I make a mistake and become helpless, you will definitely not turn a blind eye and will take the initiative to help me." Risa Taneda was sure.

"You trust your intuition so much?" Yin Ze said in a deep voice, "I am the god of daze who sometimes doesn't even know what I am doing."

"This is not intuition, but a judgment that is proven by cases." Taneda Risa pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Maybe I understand you better than you think."

“?” Yin Ze scratched his head in confusion.

"Although the animation is currently on air and is extremely popular, let us still introduce this work to everyone again." Risa Taneda coughed lightly and brought the topic back.

"Okay." Yin Ze nodded.

"Well, please~" the girl then generously extended her hand.

"…The original work is from the Classical Club series created by Honobu Yonezawa." The man had no choice but to answer, "The content, uh, is about Houtarou, a man with no motivation, who accidentally joins a club that is about to be disbanded. By the way, he meets the curious heroine there, and gradually begins to use his daily fun time to conduct reasoning with his friends. This is a youth story."

"It's concise and to the point, without any procrastination. As expected of Oreki-kun." Risa Taneda exclaimed.

"She's not as good as Lady Chitanda, who is beautiful, clear-headed, and a textbook Yamato Nadeshiko." Yin Ze responded with a smile.

"Hey, is this talking about the character or about me?" the girl was curious.

"Both. When I think about it carefully, when Oreki-kun first saw Chitanda in the club activities classroom, he was attracted by her beautiful appearance and was dragged into all kinds of enviable troubles. He also discovered that she was actually a person who cared about things and was sometimes very strong." The man said in a steady tone, "And when I first saw Ms. Taneda in the art museum, I was also impressed by your work and temperament. However, judging from your liveliness today, you also have a side that people don't know about..."

"For example?" the girl asked.

"For example, her real identity is actually the princess of the Wind Kingdom who rules over the Wind Clan, Her Highness Emilia!" The man's eyes flashed, and his next move was a killer move.

“Ahhhh! Shut up!” The quiet girl’s expression suddenly changed. Her face turned red visibly and she slapped her hands on the table. “Why did you say that in public?!”

"Hahaha, what's wrong with that? This is proof of being young!" the man laughed heartily.

"The mistakes made in youth should be buried under the snow and ice. There's no need to dig them out," the girl corrected. "Besides, it should be Alia."

"Ah, what?! I actually said the wrong name of Your Highness. I really deserve to die!" The man bowed his head in fear and admitted his guilt.

"It's too late." The girl's voice became ethereal and unattainable, like a god looking down on ants. "You have disrespected the face of heaven and violated the 273rd commandment of the royal family's divine rules. Although I am very reluctant, I have no choice but to exile you to the Black Flame Mine. You will have to drill into the mountain and the wall for 30 years before you can return to the ordinary world."

"Exiling for thirty years for calling the wrong name? Isn't this rule too harsh? Your Highness, don't you know that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it?" The man sneered and slowly raised his head, his face full of ambition and arrogance. He spoke righteously like a hero, "You nobles are corrupt and arrogant to this extent, it's time to raise the banner of resistance! Kings, princes, generals, are you of the same kind? Brothers, a bright tomorrow is ahead, follow me to ignite the flame of freedom and dignity!"

"I never thought you would have such a wolfish ambition. For the sake of peace in my clan, I have no choice but to bring down divine punishment here—!" The girl's voice became colder and colder, like a chilly wind in winter. She sang slowly, "Holy Lord who controls the scorching sun, please listen to my prayer. Holy King who rotates in the frosty sky, please strip him of all his possessions. You will sleep forever in the mercy of the gods, and the star will sink!"

"Why are you still carrying this thing?!" Yin Ze's facial features were distorted, his AT stance was shattered in an instant, and his whole body was shaking.

"Dark history must be countered with dark history." Risa Taneda said proudly.

"Let's stop hurting each other. Let me see what the fixed part of this column is." Yin Ze let out a long breath to stop the endless war. He grabbed the script, "Curiosity is human nature. This is also the beginning of the bond between Hyouka, so the core of the next part is "very curious". The program will widely collect letters with interesting content. But before that, Ms. Taneda, is there anything you are interested in recently?"

"It's my hobby. I want to eat a lot of delicious food, but I don't want to get fat."

“Isn’t this just a nuisance?”

"Then, Amargasaurus?" Risa Taneda said hesitantly.

"Ah?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"Amargasaurus, the bones on its back have many protrusion-like structures, which are very interesting." Risa Taneda tried to explain in more detail.

"No, this idea is too jumpy..." Yin Ze tilted his head.

"I quite like dinosaurs," said Risa Taneda.

"Indeed, the T-shirt I'm wearing today also has a dinosaur printed on it."

Yin Ze looked at the girl sitting opposite him. Her outfit was very homely and not very conspicuous, but full of a sense of stability. Her hair was tied into a ponytail with a ribbon, which made her look mature and girlish. On the chest of her plaid T-shirt was a Q-version little dinosaur, with its mouth wide open and calling silently.

"But why would you like this? Generally speaking, girls wouldn't be too interested in this kind of powerful creature, right?"

"It was probably when I was in college. You know I studied fine arts," said Risa Taneda with a smile. "So I loved going to various art galleries and museums with my friends at that time. Of course, I still go there occasionally. One time I was invited to see a skeleton specimen, and I thought that the dinosaur skeleton specimen was really amazing, and I suddenly fell in love with it."

"You can feel the weight of history and the romance of ancient times from the specimens." Yin Ze nodded.

"How about it, are you interested?" Risa Taneda asked, leaning closer.

"It's more of a work than a love affair. I've done some research, and when it comes to monster design, dragons are inevitable." Yin Ze leaned back slightly, "After all, they are epic creatures. I personally like the shape of Western dragons. Even though the outline seems to have been determined, there are still many designs that can be made inside."

"Oh, I like it too, the Western Dragon."

"Besides, I also have a fantasy about Tyrannosaurus Rex, the idol of the dinosaur world." The man said calmly.

"What is it?"

"I want to see the T. rex use nunchakus once."

Risa Taneda was stunned, and then she couldn't help but imagine that scene in her mind. She couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha, you are too mean."

"Playing with nunchakus and carrying Princess Alia on his back as he charges into battle, this is a dreamlike scene that I really want to see!" The man clenched his fists.

"Is there going to be another war? This time it's with the identity of the Dragon Knight?" The girl did not back down, and thought, "Oh, right, the new version will tell the story of the Dragon Knight, right?"

"What do you mean?" Yin Ze asked.

"Of course it's about Final Fantasy," said Risa Taneda.

"I didn't expect you were playing too?" Yin Ze was a little surprised.

"I've always liked AQUARE ENIX's Kingdom Hearts series, but I'm more of a single-player person. I only focus on the main quests and have no intention of challenging difficult dungeons." Risa Taneda nodded.

"Oh, is that so? If you want to conquer difficult dungeons in the future, you can always come to me." Master Yin patted his chest, which showed the kindness and leeway of a high-level player.

"But my skills are just average." Risa Taneda hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have already brought a black magician who can't even dodge AOE." The man laughed.

"I was able to react and follow the prompts to avoid the BOSS's damage." Risa Taneda felt a little underestimated and couldn't help but say.

"Then you have become the general supervisor of this game." Yin Ze said with relief.

At a company workstation in Shinjuku district, the head of a project who was secretly conducting product testing with a document and a game client open at the same time sneezed.

Yoshida Tomoki took out a tissue to wipe his nose and couldn't help but sigh.

Which player is praising my strong work ability?

Chapter 39 A glimmer of blessing

"Then let's see what netizens are interested in. Uh, the letter from the broadcaster named 'Dong Ge' - this is something I suddenly thought of while having lunch. Where is the farthest place from which you can see the Tokyo Skytree? The Skytree is 634 meters high. If you look at it from a distance, where is the dividing line between what can be seen and what cannot be seen?" Yin Ze's mouth drooped unconsciously, "This?"

"Yeah, that makes me curious." Taneda Risa nodded repeatedly, "Senior, what do you think about this?"

"Although I'm known as the smartest and most romantic person in the workplace, I haven't spent precious time thinking about this kind of unclear question." Yin Ze said sternly, "In my opinion, we might as well use the ground-pushing clue collection method, and let the program team widely collect information from fans in various regions about whether they can see it locally. In this way, we will definitely gain something, and at least we can roughly draw a dividing line."

"Indeed, this is a bit difficult for the two of us, so please help us." Taneda Risa nodded, "But if we want to know the answer, the earliest time is the next issue, right? But you were absent that time too."

"It's okay. If we meet on the set sometime, just tell me the result when you have time." Yin Ze has always been indifferent.

"I'll tell you on Line?" the girl said.

"Are you my friend?" the man asked.

“It seems that it hasn’t been added yet.”

"Then add it now."

Master Yin then took out his cell phone, and the two of them faced each other, and in less than ten seconds, they completed the process of expanding the list calmly and naturally.

"Oreki-kun, your nickname is really weird." Taneda Risa said, looking at the words "Minotaur Chieftain" strangely.

"With the development of the times and the progress of cultural exchanges, you will sooner or later know the value of this crown." Yin Ze said calmly, "Then I'll trouble Miss Zhongtian to tell me the answer later."

"Okay, then let's leave this matter to the trustworthy staff!" Risa Taneda responded decisively.

"The next letter. A letter from the broadcaster named 'Supreme Pigeon Sect' - I believe that in daily life, when you are shopping, you often see 7-11 convenience stores, right? If you pay a little attention, you will find that the 7-ELEVEn on the sign has only a lowercase n at the end. Before I sent the letter, I asked the clerk, but the clerk didn't know the reason. This little puzzle fits the atmosphere of Hyouka's reasoning, right? So I sent the letter as soon as possible!" Yin Ze finished reading.

"Yeah, I never noticed it before, it seems to be true." Taneda Risa recalled, and the staff kindly showed her pictures as proof, and she suddenly realized, "I always thought it was all capital letters."

"Yeah, why is it like this?" Yin Ze hummed and said.

"Oreki-kun, I'm very curious. Now it's your turn to come on stage. Please answer everyone's questions in a cool and generous manner as usual." Risa Taneda used the original voice of the animation in a very despicable manner.

"Although I am known for being equally matched with Yi and Lu, and for commanding with confidence, I am not sure about Xiao and Cao. But I don't know!" But I didn't expect Yin Ze to be so frank and honest. "No one would pay attention to this thing if they have nothing to do!"

"…It's so boring. This kind of puzzle is very much like Hyouka, but the protagonist is so useless." Risa Taneda said dejectedly.

"But from a design perspective, I think it may be for aesthetics. Using all uppercase letters would feel harsh, while lowercase letters are relatively round and more graceful." Master Yin reluctantly gave an explanation.

"I don't really approve of this answer. It's not convincing enough and there's no evidence." Risa Taneda shook her head slowly.

"Then there's nothing we can do." At this moment, the man used the most classic tactic in StarCraft - no matter what. "I have a plan. How about this? Let the staff ask fans for references. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. As for the answer, just forward it through Line to the friends you have added."

"It seems this is the only way." The quiet Risa Taneda is easy to talk to.

"Okay, next one. It's still from 'Dong Ge'. It's rare that it's been used consecutively. Alas, even if I hide the color books in the place I'm most confident of every time, they will definitely be found by my family when they are cleaning. I have run out of ideas. As a leading photo collection expert, does the guest brother have any unique and brilliant methods?"

Yin Ze held the manuscript paper and made a bitter face, just like a traditional old man who sees the puzzled behavior of young people in the short videos on his mobile phone.

"Why do you want me to answer this kind of question? Do I look like an expert in this field?"

"What do you mean by coloring books?" Taneda Risa asked with great interest, "Is it the kind that is always kept under the bed or deep in the drawer?"

"Your understanding is correct." Yin Ze nodded, "Although it is a bit stereotyped."

"Oh, you really have a great idea to call the usual treasure hiding methods of many adolescent boys stereotyped. Can you share it with everyone?" Taneda Risa snorted. "Also, when it comes to photo collection, are you more of a three-dimensional type in this regard?"

"I do this kind of data collection work for dynamic reference and muscle understanding." Master Yin folded his arms proudly, "I have the ability to visit monuments at a glance, so the conversion rate of reference is extremely high. The more human body dynamic pictures I see, the more steadily I can improve my skills. It is similar to the memory bread given by Nobita Poseidon's partner, and you don't have to eat bread. The cost is extremely low. There is no reason not to do it. And the human body is amazing, right? Don't you want to see more toned torsos?"

“Then why are you so obsessed with young bodies? Aren’t the skeleton and posture of the elderly also necessary?” Risa Taneda, who is also an artist, asked incisively.

"That has to do with the overall market environment." Yin Ze sighed, "Do I not want to depict the common people? Right now, beautiful girl games are rampant, and there will be no change in the future, so of course we can only go with the flow. Pure realism has no future."

"So how did you deal with it?" Risa Taneda persisted.

"I never watch those, and I don't have any at home." Yin Ze waved his hand, "I'm past that age. The more I experience, the more I study flesh and blood and body shape, and gradually I won't be obsessed with the surface. I value like-minded souls who can walk side by side with me."

"This doesn't give any answer at all." Risa Taneda was dissatisfied.

"Alas, in this technological age, you have no future. You still sit in the corner, tucked into the bedside table, and let people complain about you forever." Yin Ze said angrily, "Flesh and blood are weak, and machines can ascend. Why don't you take pictures of them in magazines, convert them into digital pictures, and put them in a USB drive with your study materials? Will you still be discovered? It's very difficult."

"I see." Risa Taneda nodded, "This way, I won't get caught when I'm cleaning the house."

"Let's continue our dedicated pace. The next letter is called 'Tonight's Mouse Hunting'. When I was watching the main visual of Hyouka, I noticed a little thing. The tea leaves in Chitanda's tea were standing upright. When I was very young, I learned from the elders in my family that this was a sign of good things to happen. But why is the standing tea leaf a sign of good things?"

Yin Ze paused

"…So this segment is a section for complaining about life? Although it is rare to see tea stems standing upright."

"The older generation does have some interesting little experiences to share, and slowly, they have become common sense in our eyes. However, they are willing to trace the origins of common sense, and this rigorous curiosity deserves recognition," said Risa Taneda.
