Tokyo Sound

"Right now, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is suffering from social difficulties. After I go in, he will definitely ask me for help. Once I appear, he can just sit on the sidelines and watch. This is absolutely unacceptable." Yin Ze said in a cold voice, "For my own selfish desires, I need him to help me absorb the firepower today. After all the Waterloo in live broadcasting and radio, I am determined to make a comeback today. At worst, I can treat him to a high-quality barbecue to apologize when I go back."

“……” The girl said nothing, just stared.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you the culprit that caused all this? What's with the dark dream talk, what's with the dream tapir girl not eating the radio? I listened to it over and over again, but I could only hear two words - persecution." The man covered his chest in pain.

"Huh? Aren't you enjoying it?" Hidaka Rina said in surprise, "You're obviously cooperating."

"I'm only teaming up with you for the sake of the audience." Yin Ze sighed, "I thought that a senior who played the Giant of Light as a teenager and is known as a little genius would be careful with his words and actions and be considerate of the young people. I didn't expect that my kindness would be rewarded with even worse behavior."

"Well, it's true. When I'm working with my juniors on a show, I'm more lively than usual." Hidaka Rina admitted cheerfully, "I wouldn't be that interested with anyone else."

"Are you going to quibble? Very well, just let me hear it." Yin Ze put his hands on his hips and listened quietly.

"If I must say it..." Hidaka Rina hesitated, "Because the other person is a junior."

"This kind of crude and confusing rhetoric, like the one produced when a student makes a mistake and is caught by the director of the moral education department due to nervousness, will not work in front of me. Today, I see that you are dressed so formally, so please use more formal language. Otherwise, hehe, it may cause a diplomatic incident between the two major offices of Ozawa and IM." Yin Ze exaggerated his position in the company and threatened.

"What do you mean by like a student? I am a student. I haven't even taken the college entrance examination yet." The girl retorted stubbornly, "Isn't it reasonable to be willful occasionally?"

"Why me?" the man said sadly.

"Yes, why you?" The girl showed a rare playful smile. She was a little tired of standing in the aisle, so she simply squatted near the wall. "I hope you, the junior, will think about it carefully."

"Is there nothing else?" The man still hoped for the best.

"No, I entered the circle very early and I'm a very professional. I'm very polite to directors, supervisors, and other actors, and I do things very steadily. I'm only like this with my juniors." Hidaka Rina said with her little face held high.

"This is very early. How early is it?" Yin Ze tilted his head slightly.

"Sixth grade?" Hidaka Rina thought for a moment, "Probably around that time."

"That's not easy. But it's good this way, at least you have some unconventional memories." Yin Ze also squatted down against the wall and relaxed, "As a senior in my life, I forgive you."

Hidaka Rina looked at the person next to her and changed the subject, "This dress of yours looks so familiar. I see you wearing it often."

"This is the most expensive piece in my closet. It's very suitable for me to attend public events like this in the fall and winter," Yin Ze said modestly.

"Wasn't this one also in the last Silver Advent Fantasy event?" Hidaka Rina recalled, "But it's best not to wear the same outfit twice."

"What kind of rule is this?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"An unwritten agreement in the industry?" Hidaka Rina shrugged. "It seems to be the same in the entertainment industry next door."

"What an anti-thrifty tradition! Doesn't that mean I have to buy clothes more often?" Yin Ze frowned. "With such consumption... it's more economical to refuse to participate in the event."

"The salary from taking on more work must be more than the money for buying clothes." Hidaka Rina said helplessly, "But if you are so frugal, why would you buy this dress? If you look closely, the material and workmanship are very fine. It must be a very high-end fashion brand."

"I bought this with Sakura. She originally wanted to give it to me as a gift. However, as the most responsible male voice actor in IM, second only to my close brother Nakajima Masaru, I certainly wouldn't accept it for nothing, so I naturally gave her a gift in return." Yin Ze said simply.

"Doesn't that mean you two have the same clothes?" Hidaka Rina was stunned.

"Of course, I bought it from the same store, what's wrong with that?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"You and Ayane have known each other for a long time and have a very good relationship." Hidaka Rina nodded. "By the way, I noticed that you always hang out with your friends in the industry. What about your friends outside the industry?"

"Not many, and I only met them after I started working, for example, Nagasaki Yukinu, Yoshida Tomoki..." Yin Ze said simply.

"This is also a work-related encounter, right? Besides, Nagasaki Music Supervisor, he's almost 60 years old... How dare you say you're friends with him?"

"What can I do? My social circle radiates from the workplace, and the other ones are my school teachers and the little sister who lives upstairs - huh? My work circle of friends is almost equivalent to my personal circle of friends. Am I unexpectedly a workaholic?" Yin Ze felt that he had discovered a blind spot, and said in surprise that he couldn't believe it himself.

"Well, since they are all friends in the same industry, where do my relationships with you rank?" The girl asked as if she was discussing gossip with her deskmate after class. "Of course, excluding your two relatives and friends, I know you have a good relationship."

"...Of course it's number one." The man said with certainty.

"Tell the truth." The girl narrowed her eyes.

"In the 'Tough Opponents List', you are truly number one." The man said in detail.

"Why is there such a weird ranking? What are you building up in your mind all day long?" Hidaka Rina snorted. "By the way, did you analyze the ship I voiced in front of me during the live broadcast?"

"That was the work of the 'Thunder Cliff nail house'. What does it have to do with me?" Yin Ze opened his eyes innocently.

"You're still denying it. When I played that game, after the prologue animation, the first thing I did was to bring a reliable girl to the sea to rescue you."

"Don't confuse voice actors with characters. Besides, I have a highly trained Hidaka team. This kind of thing is enough to prove my respect for you."

"Tsk, I don't know what's so fun about this kind of game. If there are no activities, I can only idle around."

"I didn't play much either. The main reason was that I could hear my seniors trying to please me with all kinds of voices, which made me feel the warmth that didn't exist in reality..."

"?"

It’s gradually time to officially begin.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu came out of the rest room and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve.

Then he found that someone was squatting in the corner with Silica's female voice actor, being forced to watch his own ghost video on N Station with a look of despair on their faces.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu suddenly felt relieved about being abandoned.

Chapter 53: Wei Shu Face Foundation

Kenryo Takada, a native of Osaka, is a hereditary fishery baron, a lonely shopkeeper, a ghost of a wholesaler in the Kuromon Market, a low-key child of the high-income class, honored as Brother Dong, a tough guy on the Internet, and a rare ninth-level strongman in Kansai. He has fought with the notorious "Dream of Middle-aged and Elderly Women in the Eastern Hemisphere" in the comment section of the big brother's account several times, and basically ended in a loss for both sides.

Today, he specially asked for leave from home, applied to be released from the demon chain that was responsible for guarding the store and keeping accounts, and carried valuable seafood with him, and went alone to the glamorous Tokyo.

Along the way, Kenryo Takada couldn't calm down his excitement. He kept checking his phone and chatting with his friends, and his words were full of anticipation.

Of course, the promises made earlier, the souvenirs, were not forgotten. A heavy low-temperature box was proof of this.

If sea bream is the fish that best represents Japan, then tuna is the king of all fish, the pinnacle of deliciousness, unstoppable, irresistible, the conqueror of taste buds.

Since the whole yellowfin and bluefin tuna in their warehouse were too heavy to carry, they had to give up with tears and took a few small albacore tuna.

If the event ever comes to Osaka, I will definitely use a cart to bring the real delicacies over.

Kenryo Takada has been a otaku for some time and has been here to visit comic conventions and festivals before. This time, he went cleanly and efficiently without wasting much time and arrived at his destination quickly.

People were coming and going near the venue, most of them were there to attend the offline meetup. They were all young and relaxed, dressed lightly. Takada Kenryo, who was carrying a heavy freezer and wearing a baseball cap, looked like a delivery man.

He looked up, found the iconic landmark, walked to the agreed location, looked down at his phone again, and typed to send.

Soon, several male compatriots came walking quickly.

They confirmed many things with just a few glances.

"Brother Dong?" The leader, a fat bear-like man, spoke in a mellow voice.

"Group leader?" Takada Kenryo called out softly, showing a look of joy.

"Well, we finally meet. Don't be shy. Just call me Liang."

Tsuchiya Hiroaki smiled warmly.

"You're the last to arrive. Come, let me introduce you briefly. This professional elite in a cotton jacket is Five from the Golden Pickup Truck, this young man from Chiba Prefecture with a girlfriend is Sweet Potato Fried Potato, and this one, a top student at Keio University, is Hayate DD Alexander, and the last one, the one with the peripheral handbag is Urban Strange Phlegm."

Everyone is an active member of the group chat and a veteran who has come all the way.

"I am finally able to catch a glimpse of all of you. After meeting you today, I find that you are all outstanding people." Kenryo Takada, who has an ordinary appearance and no outstanding talents and can only choose to inherit the family business, feels a little ashamed of himself.

"Today we, the 'Takizawa Hidaka Manzai Broadcasting Fans Group', have met. This is truly something worth celebrating. Why don't we take a group photo?" Tsuchiya Hiroaki suggested.

"That's how it should be."

"of course."

Several people asked kind people passing by to help take photos. The group owner took the center position in the photo, followed by the administrator. Everyone stood tall, with the poster of the Sword Saint event behind them. Everyone was so high-spirited, and their smiles were from the heart, overflowing with happiness and beauty.

"I saw those people wearing character clothes, such as Kirito sweatshirt and Asuna hoodie. Our fan group is also a leader in the fan base. How can we lag behind others?" Takada Kenryo couldn't help but say.

"I don't want to lose the game, but the question is, do you still remember who Takizawa-san voiced in this drama?" Tsuchiya Hiroaki was silent for a few seconds, "...Do you think Nobuyuki Sugo would have peripheral products like this? Who would buy them?"

"Today is the Sword Art Online venue, we are here only as anime fans, and we also want to see Takizawa-san's style with our own eyes. In time there will be another home venue, and it won't be too late to cheer for him then." Urban Monster laughed.

"I'm being too picky." Takada Kenryo nodded. "Let's go in now without further ado. By the way, after the event is over, we can't just disband on the spot. We have to have a meal together."

"Of course. It's a rare opportunity that everyone has come here from all over the place, so how can we not have a few drinks?"

Although it was the first time for everyone to meet, they all felt like old friends who had known each other for a long time. Occasionally they would talk about interesting things that happened in the group, and they would chat and have a great time.

The venue has already started ticket checking and admission, and everyone is following the crowd to line up.

"There are more people than expected." said Sweet Potato Stir-Fry Potato.

“It’s a huge hit after all.” said Five of the Golden Pickup Truck.

"Well, you guys go first. I suddenly feel a little urgent. I'm going to the bathroom. We'll meet inside the venue later." Tsuchiya Hongliang suddenly covered his stomach, with a distressed expression as if he had a diarrhea, and trotted away halfway.

"What unclean food did the military advisor eat?"

"I don't know. But the image of the group leader that I first imagined in my mind was a thin scholar. After all, the writing style of his letters was always quite good."

"Hey, do you think the neighboring group is here? After all, Takizawa-san doesn't have any live events except for the Firefly Forest promotion meeting and the Silver Advent Fantasy."

"Humph, so what if you're here? Do you still want to have a social gathering? People with different ideals cannot work together!"

"That's the truth."

The team is moving forward steadily.

"I almost forgot to buy water. I'll go to the convenience store to buy some drinks for everyone." Takada Kenryo, who had remained silent all the time and was completely different from his status in the group, suddenly said.

"No need to be so troublesome, we'll be almost in." said Five in the golden pickup truck.

"Isn't it earlier than the scheduled time? It's okay, let me treat you." Takada Kenryo smiled elegantly and withdrew from the team.

"Brother Dong is outspoken and unconventional in the group, but he is a very honest person in real life." said Sweet Potato Stir-Fried Potato.

……

Same venue, same opponent.

The two people in the organization, one in front and one behind, returned to the place where they had just gathered.

"Group leader!" Kenryo Takada, who arrived late, called out again, but the meaning of the call was completely different this time.

"Well, you disguised yourself very well and didn't reveal your true colors." Tsuchiya Hiroaki restrained his expression and stood with his hands behind his back. "Today, we, the 'Takizawa Sakura Friendly Simultaneous Witness Group', have met... But you really didn't try to hide your true colors. You didn't even use a trumpet to act."

"Doesn't this show that you are good at disguising yourself?" Takada Kenryo said admiringly, "Besides, what are you afraid of? Could there be an undercover agent?"

"Wait a moment, the other team members will be here soon. The fastest one is chewing the thick phlegm." Tsuchiya Hongliang lowered his head and opened his phone and said, "Then there will be chopped green onion fried rice without egg and snow black..."

"Huh? Group leader, didn't you go to the toilet? And Brother Dong, are you still here?" a voice said strangely.

The two were stopped and their bodies inevitably trembled, then turned around.

"It's the urban monster Tansang, why did you come out?" Takada Kenryo was puzzled.

"I just want to pick up a friend." The urban weird phlegm seemed a little embarrassed and forced a smile, "What about you guys?"

"Oh, we just happened to see someone talking in the group, so we came to pick them up." Takada Kenryo said quickly.

"… Really? But I didn't see any news in the group."

"It's a conversation between friends, a conversation between friends."

"I see."

There was an eerie silence.

The three of them were humming their own little tunes, and inadvertently all turned their backs to each other.

"Takizawa Sakura friendly witness group"

"Chewing the thick phlegm: Where are you? I'm already here."

"Zhongda of Xiuwen: I'm here too. Where are you? Is there anything conspicuous around? We'll go find you. Don't come over here. There's someone in the way."

"Chewing the thick phlegm: I'm next to a fat guy."

"Brother Dong: ..."

"Zhongda of Xiuwen:?"

"Xu Wen's Zhong Da: What does that fat guy look like?"

"Chewing phlegm: tall and fat, wearing a T-shirt of Haruma Tenjouin and a jacket."

Three seconds later.

"The chewing phlegm has been kicked out of the group"

There was an extremely strange silence.

The three men, with their backs to each other, slowly raised their heads, like western gunfighters in a duel, and remained motionless before drawing their guns.
