Tokyo Sound

When sparrows fly across the sky.

"Haha, group leader, we finally meet. I have admired you for a long time." Urban Monster Tan raised his hand and greeted him, looking as if nothing had happened.

However, the bear man was not so calm, but went up and choked him.

"No! I don't know either! Zhonghu! Emperor Xuan of Jin, Emperor Gaozu of Jin, King Sima Xuan!"

"hehe!"

And in the distance where this Infernal Affairs was taking place, DD Alexander, a foreign student whose real name was Zhang Wei, was leaning in the shadow of a corner with his arms folded across his chest, silently watching this scene.

Five from the golden pickup truck had already entered and sat down. He waited patiently for the countdown, but still glanced at the five empty seats next to him with confusion.

How come I'm the only one left in the blink of an eye...

Chapter 54: Right and Wrong Success and Failure

The group members came back in the last few minutes. They all had smiles on their faces. It seemed that the Ice Dew mineral water tasted good, the toilets were well decorated, and their stomachs were very comfortable. However, there were a few people whose clothes were not very neat, and they looked like they had participated in MMA or UFC. I don't know what happened.

The venue was inevitably a bit noisy as everyone was communicating and talking.

After Asuna finished reading the warnings about prohibiting unauthorized photography and fire safety, the bright lights in the room dimmed uniformly, and the swaying light sticks of various colors were very conspicuous. An exciting background music sounded, which was the opening accompaniment of Sword Sanctuary.

A thin man with hair that goes past his ears walked quickly onto the stage holding a procedure book.

"Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to the Sword Saint Fall/Winter Voice Actor Meet-up. I am today's host Yoshino Yoshino. Let's spend the rest of the time happily. Thank you for your guidance."

The audience burst into applause.

"Without further delay, let's invite today's guests to come up. First up is Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, who voices Kirito Koto—"

The large screen in front immediately showed an image of a swordsman in black wielding two swords. The male voice actor who was called on to perform came on stage from the backstage at the sidelines, bowing slightly to the audience as he ran, and finally stopped at a place, standing in a standard position with his legs together, holding the microphone with both hands, and remained on standby without any unnecessary movements.

"Next is Tomatsu Haruka-san, who voices Asuna."

The female lead is much more generous than the male lead. She appears in a red half-shirt and a textile skirt, with a gentle smile and waving her hand.

"Then there is your daughter, a lovely little angel, Yui's voice actor, Ito Kase Megumi-san."

Although the character in the play is very young, his actual length of service is longer than the main actor. The petite senior came over with a cheering gesture.

"And the voice actor of Silica, Hidaka Rina-san, who I met briefly at Sunset Hill."

The younger senior’s facial expression management is textbook-level, and his smile with just the right amount of sweetness is impeccable even when captured in close-up by the camera.

"Okay, these are the guests participating in this event..." Yoshino Yoshiki stood at the side, holding up an open process book, and spoke heavily into the microphone.

"——Oh, I'm so happy. All the troublemakers are here, so let's have a fun party! Ah... finally this long-awaited moment has come. The best guests are here, so my patience is worth it! Now all the information in this space will be recorded! Just try to make some lively expressions!"

A greasy and salty sound suddenly rumbled, and the image of the despicable villain instantly appeared on the big screen. However, after careful consideration by the staff, the picture was not a standing picture, but an animated screenshot of a man with a chopped hand and wide-eyed facial expression.

The audience erupted in brilliant cheers at the unpleasant lines that gave people goosebumps. They even changed their glow sticks to the same color as the yellow hair and waved them around. It was very lively.

"Hehe, that's how it has to be. I'm curious how long you can be happy, an hour? Or a whole day? Please try to prolong my pleasure - after I enjoy it here. I'll go to Asuna's ward, lock the door, turn off the camera, and we'll be alone. I'll set up a high-definition projection screen there, play the BD disc of today's fan meeting, and enjoy the fried chicken and French fries that you bought with your ticket money, hahahaha!"

"Ahhh~... So sweet, so sweet! Come on, buy some more peripherals for me so I can get another pack of ketchup!"

The tampered versions of the famous lines were hilarious, and the audience responded with even more enthusiastic cheers.

"Then, the last guest for today is Takizawa Satoru, the voice actor of Diabel, Nobuyuki Sugo, and the Elf King Oberon—!"

The quiet man appeared silently under the spotlight, and the enthusiastic shouts did not make him look up. He walked slowly and his expression was calm, as if he was just passing by to eat two taels of pea noodles across the street. His hairstyle today was a refreshing back comb. As time passed, his excellent bone structure began to show, and he had transitioned from the innocent boy to a deadly dark complexion. A few strands of hair hung between his neat and flying eyebrows, and he was both perverse and casual, a rare cold style so far.

The main reason I comb my hair like this today is to make it easier to wear a helmet.

The group members raised their hands and clapped. Seeing the real face of the big brother, they felt that the trip was worth it. The applause was thunderous. Although he was playing a villain, he was very popular. He was not a low-quality tauren in Thunder Bluff, but a high-quality human hero who was inspiring.

The handsome man with a British style and a snowy style only whispered a self-introduction and hello to everyone before closing the microphone, as if the perfect dirty voice just now had nothing to do with him. Even though he was actually very happy with it.

"Satoru——!"

A roar came from the audience, spreading with difficulty in the spacious venue and barely reaching the stage.

The man glanced sideways and nodded slightly in response with dignity, being very cool and aloof.

Ah! My single push nodded to me, he has me in his heart.

Kenryo Takada, who mustered up the courage to call his elder brother by his name in a friendly manner, felt the approving gazes of his companions around him and couldn't help but straighten his chest.

"Then please take a seat, voice actors," said Yoshino Yoshiki. "It was a very impressive appearance. The atmosphere in the venue was immediately high. I didn't expect it to be like this. It was surprising."

"Because that's how the process is arranged." The man said simply, "Aren't you throwing away your baggage too?"

"But you performed very well," praised Yoshino Yoshino.

"It's just a work requirement, it's hard to refuse," said the man.

"Huh? But it is rumored that you like this character very much." Yoshino Yoshiki said when talking about a little story he heard in the lounge not long ago.

"It's pure rumor." The man shook his head.

"Compared to our previous cooperation, you seem a little depressed today." Yoshino Yoshiki couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"This is my true personality." The man said in a pretentious tone, "And compared to a loser like me in the drama, everyone wants to see Kirito being active, right? He is the protagonist, the epitome of luck in love. Please put all your expectations and love on that destined person."

"Very humble," commented Yoshino Yoshino.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, who was sitting at the other end, vaguely sensed the evil of human nature.

"But having said that, Sword Sanctuary is really a good work. Just by looking at the number of audiences here today, you can feel the influence of this animation. So, as the voice actors of the characters, what do you think of this work? Could you please let Mr. Matsuoka talk about it first?" Yoshino Yoshiki started to get to the point.

"Well, yes. The production is really excellent, the idea of ​​the virtual space is also very interesting, and the description of the bond with the team members is also very good." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu answered immediately, "Of course, everyone's acting is superb, and everyone in the creative team is full of passion to produce it."

"Has anything fun happened while working with you guys on the set?" asked Yoshino Yoshiki.

"Well, everyone is very friendly and very dedicated to their work..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu scratched his head and spoke slowly.

"Most of them are female voice actors." Yin Ze suddenly spoke at this time.

"Huh?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was stunned.

“There are many seniors among them.”

"Ah."

"You've won the Newcomer Award before. I believe you haven't let down your strict requirements on yourself yet? Have you gained anything new from working with you seniors?" Yin Ze asked.

"As for acting, of course..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu decided to use the topic he was best at.

"Which character do you like best?" Yin Ze changed his tone.

"Liz." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu answered immediately.

"Isn't it Asuna? She's Kirito's projection." Yoshino Yoshiki replied. The host reacted and found that there seemed to be something that could be manipulated here.

"No, no, no, this is just my personal preference. Kirito definitely likes Asuna the most, even though there are many lovely friends around him..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu explained.

"So what do you think of Mr. Maeda?" Yoshino Yoshinori hit the nail on the head.

"Of course, from the outside, she is a beauty, and very lively and kind." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said hurriedly, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the main person.

"Ah, tgtg and I made eye contact just now, that's so rare." Haruka Tomatsu exclaimed softly, with a hint of boasting in her words. Several other female voice actors also covered their mouths and laughed.

"..."

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy about this level of interaction?" Yoshino Yoshino asked curiously, "Is Mr. Matsuoka usually a lonely and introverted person?"

"During the breaks on the set, he didn't talk to us at all. Ito-san occasionally brought snacks, but he didn't answer at all when we asked him. Could it be that he hates us? Did we do something that made him unhappy?" Tomatsu Haruka said deliberately.

"No, no, no, that's not the case at all. I'm just a little shy." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu shook his head like a rattle.

"What? After the first season's work was completed, you were obviously very enthusiastic and excited. You even hugged us and the supervisor with red eyes to celebrate." Haruka Tomatsu frowned.

"That was suddenly brought up by Maeda-san..."

"You mean it's the girls' fault?"

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu covered the microphone with his hand, leaned back meaninglessly, looked at the ceiling, and the expression on his face became more and more like a kind of food called pickled plums.

"Haha, I'm not good at dealing with the opposite sex. When I saw them chatting, I didn't know how to join in. After all, it's a girls' gathering over there. If I don't behave well, I might be considered rude." Yoshino Yoshinori said when he saw this.

"Yes, that's about it." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded immediately.

"Usually, voice actors have to work on their lines on the set and can't be too lax, but today it's okay. After all, the main thing is for everyone to have a pleasant conversation, so let's take this opportunity to build good relationships - after all, news about the second season has already been released on the official website, and the secret PV will be announced here later." The host said solemnly and mysteriously.

Naturally, the audience applauded and celebrated the announcement of the sequel, and they all seemed to be interested in the male protagonist who seemed to have the physique of a light novel male protagonist.

When someone saw this, he felt very relieved.

however.

"But it's not just Matsuoka who keeps his distance on the set, right?" Hidaka Rina, who hadn't spoken yet, suddenly said, pointing to the side, "This person is the same. During breaks, he hides in the corner of the sofa with the script in his arms and stares blankly."

Someone's smile froze.

"What? Is Takizawa-san also so unkind?" Yoshino Yoshiki, who has been through many battles, immediately followed up, "This is very different from the impression I have of him who used to be so majestic on the stage, showing the prologue levels of the game to all the players in public."

It hurts so much to uncover old wounds.

"That's all in the past. I'm not good at speaking," Yin Ze said simply, "and I don't quite fit the role of Nobuyuki Sugo, so I need to spend more time studying it, so I ignored other people's good intentions. I should apologize for that."

"Indeed, this role has high requirements for both voice and emotions. It must be very difficult. After all, everyone wants to play a handsome hero, a knight who fights to death for the people he is loyal to, and so on." Yoshino Yoshiki expressed his understanding.

It is so humiliating to rub salt into old wounds.

"No, he's lying." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu actually spoke up, and his tone was firm. It contained the courage to turn against the devil naked and swallow the world like a tiger.

"?" Yin Ze frowned.

"We are very good friends. He has always said that he hopes to see more scenes of someone stealing someone's love. He even patted my shoulder and vowed that he would act out the role to a disgusting level that would anger both humans and gods," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"This tendency to accept roles...really has unique taste." Yoshino Yoshiki and the audience both expressed a subtle attitude.

"It's pure rumor. Mr. Matsuoka and I are just ordinary clubmates. We are not familiar with each other at all." Yin Ze waved his hand, tactically distancing himself from the matter.

"He doesn't like carrots. Although he likes to go to Chinese restaurants to eat celery and shredded pork, he just wants the taste of celery and never eats celery. His cell phone ringtone changes every now and then, and it's basically all golden songs from the 80s and 90s. He often treats people to hot coffee as a way to build good relationships with others. He gets off work quickly, but often gets home quickly and has nothing to do, so he can only complain to me about being bored." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu gave clear examples to prove that their relationship is at least as strong as gold.

"?"

"I understand now. Boys play with boys, and girls play with girls. This was the same atmosphere when I was in junior high school." Yoshino Shonori laughed and said, "However, as the only two male guests present today, you still have to be responsible. You will compete in the game session later. It's a good opportunity to continue the grudges and love-hate relationship."

"I don't think it's appropriate. The game naturally requires everyone to join in. How can it be enjoyed by only the two of us?" Yin Ze counterattacked in a deep voice, dragging others into the water with one move, and driving them along very skillfully.

"Then why not divide them into the protagonist group and the villain group, wouldn't that be more reasonable?" Hidaka Rina suggested.

"Okay, then please let me join the battle as Diaberu." Yin Ze said sternly, "Nobuyuki Sugo? I have never liked him."

"You really still miss the time when you were a knight. Humph."

"I am the Elf King Oberon, who is dedicated to taking away the loved ones of others. People of pure love, come and see me, and then come and defeat me." The man said in a deep voice.

Chapter 55: Look at Silica too

"Next, we will show the top 1 animation clips in each voice actor's mind. Let's start with Matsuoka-san's favorite." Yoshino Yoshinori stretched out his arm toward the big screen to signal.

The light dimmed, and a familiar classic plot played on the screen.

"Asuna, Klein, please, hold on for 10 seconds!"

The blue-eyed, goat-horned demon stood like a benevolent king, his breath mixed with menacing lightning, and he roared, slashing down fiercely with his saber. The thin swordsman used the Elucidator to deflect the attack at the critical moment, but the violent impact still spread throughout his body, and a feeling of fear that made his body stiffened came over the swordsman.

But the weight of the second sword behind him made him take a heavy step forward instead of retreating. From this second on, his reflexes seemed to be on fire, and he never stopped swinging his sword from the moment he pulled out the Dark Repulser. The sharp sound of the sword tore through the air, and the stream of light like stardust exploded between the floor master and the swordsman.

He began dancing on the edge of a knife in front of his seriously injured friend.

"StarBurstStream——!"

Ignoring the counterattacks and injuries he suffered, the black-clad swordsman simply let out a war cry more fanatical than that of a demon. Only a tall demon shadow remained in front of his burning eyes. Every time he slashed with his double swords, his frozen body was freed, until he was sweating profusely.

Not enough, not enough yet, faster!

The storm woven by the sword speed that exceeded the system's auxiliary limit swept around, adrenaline was secreted, and a golden light flashed in front of the retina. The female war song became more and more intense.

'Drink!'

The beautiful and poignant sixteenth strike seemed to bloom from sparks and starlight, piercing through the demon's scimitar without hesitation and piercing through the enemy's chest. The big demon looked up at the sky and kept exhaling from his mouth and nose, and finally exploded like a piece of glass.

The scene ends and the lights come back on.

The audience applauded the fight.

"Oh, it's the scene where he defeats the boss single-handedly. It's indeed a highlight of the drama. But can you tell us more about the reason why you chose this scene?" asked Yoshino Yoshiki.

"When I read the original work, I was thinking about how to perform this part. I also practiced the dying roar in advance, but the biggest credit should go to the production team. The smooth pictures and the appropriate exciting music are really amazing." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said seriously, "Also, this is the first time that Kirito's representative skill, the two-sword style, is shown to the world. It is very precious, so I chose this part."
