Tokyo Sound

"It should be evening after the recording is over. What shall we eat later?" Ishihara Riki also chatted.

"Oh, I have a lunch box." Yin Ze shrugged, "You can go with Nagasaki-san."

"You did it yourself?" This time Ishihara Riki also became suspicious.

"No, it was done by a colleague. She plays the female lead. She knew we would meet today, so she brought it." Yin Ze said.

Ishihara Rikiya and Nagasaki Yukinu immediately raised their eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" Yin Ze was puzzled. "Oh, you don't have much contact with Nagasaki-san, so you're afraid of being embarrassed. It's not a big deal. At most, you can go downstairs to the convenience store to buy two boxed lunches and bring up a few cans of beer. We can keep things simple and continue our relationship in Kansai..."

"What to eat? I'm not eating anymore. I'm going back." Ishihara Riki also waved his hands, added the contact, and walked away in a cool manner.

Yin Ze looked at the other person's decisive back and couldn't help muttering.

Can’t bear to part with a few bottles of beer?

He is worthy of being the only person who can take meat away from my lunch box during the short time I was in the studio.

Chapter 81: The Shock of the Younger Generation

The collection is finished.

After get off work time.

It was a rare occasion that Master Yin did not rush out, and he finished his work in a dashing manner.

Because before leaving, he stood in the distance and saw Matsuoka Yoshitsugu who was chatting happily with Uesaka Sumire.

What? A young man from Hokkaido who only cares about making progress is chatting with a pretty and plump girl!

The man was shocked when he saw this scene, but he couldn't believe it.

"What is he doing?" Yin Ze asked in surprise to Saori Onishi, who might be an insider.

"Apologizing." Saori Ōnishi said simply.

"Apologize? Why should I apologize?" Yin Ze was extremely confused.

"I don't know either. After Mr. Matsuoka finished talking to me, he went to say hello to Ms. Uesaka." Saori Ōnishi was also a little confused.

"So what did he say?" Yin Ze was curious.

"…Just saying the weather was nice or something." Ōnishi Saori commented objectively, "From a pick-up point of view, it was pretty standard, but complimenting her on her beautiful hair was a bit advanced."

"It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's great that it can be used in actual combat. It's already an above-average performance that he can take the initiative to talk to girls. So what next?" Yin Ze shook his head.

"For some reason, Uesaka-san was very uncomfortable with Matsuoka-san's compliments and asked him to stop. Matsuoka-san thought that his words were too blunt and bland, so he changed his way of complimenting her... and the atmosphere became increasingly tense."

"I only learned the moves but didn't practice the mental skills. That's it." Yin Ze sighed.

"Well, let me, the 'seat leader', go and help them solve their problems." The man straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Daxi, you should read carefully and learn well. When you are in my position in the future and encounter similar situations, it will come in handy."

The purpose of this trip, in addition to mediating the relationship... Humph, I didn't expect that Mr. Matsuoka would actually take the initiative to talk to a girl. If there really is a case of love at first sight, then as a brother, he has to help out a little.

Master Yin approached calmly and observed from the sidelines for a few seconds.

"Mr. Matsuoka, please stop talking..."

"Oh, yes, sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I just think your hair is very beautiful and clear, and besides that, the clothes are also very fashionable and cute."

"So stop saying 'cute', it would be better to say it's better to belittle me!"

"This... You must still be mad at me. You, your script notes are very detailed, you must be a serious person, and your behavior is also very elegant."

"Mr. Matsuoka, I'm really getting angry!"

"what……"

Mr. Matsuoka fell into the trap and was helpless.

Master Yin felt that it was time for a hero to appear.

"Oh, what's going on?"

The man stepped into the battlefield, and in a trance, it was like a ray of spring sunshine rippling the lake.

A refreshing smile like the sun appeared on his cheeks. At the same time, the corridor of life was silently overclocked in milliseconds, and soft and hard assistance were activated simultaneously.

The hard ones adjust the facial muscles meticulously to sculpt and optimize the smile to be more perfect. The soft ones filter the vast ocean of memories to select the most pleasant emotions, for example, buying three drinks in a row and having "one more bottle" engraved on the bottom of the bottle cap.

Combining hardness and softness, and integrating them into one.

Smiles and happiness are released from the heart inside and out, without a trace of artificiality.

If ordinary salesmen and real estate agents have this kind of appeal, they can persuade undecided customers to buy life insurance or a house after a few conversations. Over time, they will get commissions until their hands are tired, get promoted every three months, and eventually be revered as the Napoleon of the sales world.

"Is there any misunderstanding between the two of you? Why don't you let me say a few words..."

Sure enough, with the full power of the fifth level of social animal skills and the assistance of the Corridor of Life, the man's joining immediately made the awkward atmosphere lively again.

"This guy must have said something wrong. I'm so sorry. He's just not good at talking. He's actually a very nice person." Yin Ze said gently, "I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble today."

"No, just please don't call me cute anymore." Sumire Uesaka breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, how can you always praise others for being good-looking?" Yin Ze turned around and said seriously.

"I..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu hesitated to speak.

"——Apart from their beautiful appearance, can't you see the beauty inside others? Can't you see their elegant temperament and magnificent soul?" Yin Ze corrected.

"?"

……

From afar, Saori Ōnishi saw someone entering the venue with a gentle and silent touch of spring.

Then not long after, Miss Uesaka was seen saying something in a rage, and she picked up the script and threw it at the two idiots, then walked away with her things in her arms, her face blushing.

From her perspective, this was just like a situation in a middle school class where two stupid boys pissed off a female classmate, got criticized and educated according to the textbook, and then ran out of the classroom to the office to complain to the teacher.

Now, Senior Wang Dao and Senior Ba Dao were both standing there like telephone poles, motionless.

Then the two of them went together to apologize to Miss Uesaka and her agent.

Only then did I realize that the other person really just "didn't want to be praised for being cute."

But, to a certain extent, isn’t this also a kind of “cuteness”... ?

……

meal time.

Uchida Yuuma is in pain and happy at the same time.

Pain is physical, coming from the Sichuan-style spicy chicken in the lunch box; happiness is spiritual, coming from seeing someone being humiliated.

"What are you laughing at?" Yin Ze couldn't help but ask.

"I remembered something happy." Uchida Yuma gasped, but still said happily, "It's nothing important, let's eat, eat, hehe."

"Is this dish delicious?" Yin Ze asked indifferently.

"Of course it's delicious." Uchida Yuma's eyes drifted and he said reluctantly. The chef who made this meal was right next to him, how could he dare to say it was not good?

"Then eat a few more pieces. Come on, don't be polite." Yin Ze's expression changed quickly, and he enthusiastically put the chicken wings in his bowl into the other person's bowl, along with a few slices of dried chili peppers. "This dish is extremely authentic and delicious. You should eat a few more mouthfuls of rice."

"Thank you..." Uchida Yuuma faced his sister's gaze and couldn't find a reason to refuse. He could only watch the pepper pierce between the rice grains like swords. He forced himself to say thank you and pretended not to care and took a bite.

"Why are you so moved that your eyes are filled with tears? Not really, not really." Yin Ze comforted.

"——I'm tired of it." Uchida Yuma said coldly.

"Oh, yes. It's too early for a young person like you to eat such street food. There is a vending machine in the corridor. Why don't you go buy some water?" Yin Ze nodded.

Needless to say, I want to buy it too.

Uchida Yuuma just stood up.

"Remember to buy more." Uchida Maaya stopped him and added, "Buy a bottle for everyone."

"Everyone, including him?" Uchida Yuma turned around and pointed at someone.

"Of course." Uchida Maaya opened her eyes wide, "What else? Do we have to exclude one specifically?"

"..."

A young person who just entered the workplace suddenly felt tired of love, but unexpectedly, there were several reversals, and in the end, he actually had to pay for the meal himself? !

Was this also part of his calculations?

The sight penetrates the air, but someone does not hear, see or speak, just acting as an outsider.

Uchida Yuuma walked towards the vending machine with his shoulders drooped, but he didn't intend to end there. However, just when a wonderful idea came to his mind.

"Remember I mentioned before that there are many non-mainstream drinks in the vending machines here? Like durian soda, peanut butter coffee, dragon fruit beer, etc...."

Someone's voice came faintly from behind.

"I don't want any of that. Just bring me a bottle of ordinary mineral water. I'm thinking of you. Drinks are always more expensive."

Uchida Yuma's brilliant plan was strangled in the cradle, and the little brother clenched his hands again and again.

"Okay." The younger brother finally agreed like an ordinary office worker.

He turned his back to fate and his old enemy, his eyes flashing.

The enemy is strong and we are weak. The situation is critical and cannot be saved in a short period of time.

All I can do now is to endure it——!

"What's the evaluation this time?" Uchida Maaya asked with interest, supporting her head.

"Our repeated trials and errors and hard work are valuable. It's becoming more and more authentic. You've already become an expert in Sichuan cuisine, so you can open a restaurant. These are professional reviews from old diners, so they can't be wrong." Yin Ze praised highly.

"I don't want to open a store. There are too many things to worry about. And the business will definitely not be good." Uchida Maaya shook her head.

"How could this happen?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"Of course, this taste is not local at all. You can see that Yuuma can't get used to it. I can only make it for you." Uchida Maaya said helplessly, "But now that the menu has been adjusted, there is no need to ask him to do the pre-tasting sample in the future."

"Food culture is extensive and profound, and food has been passed down along with civilization. If you don't even dare to step out of your comfort zone when eating, how can you challenge your shortcomings in future work? How can you achieve great things?" Yin Ze suggested actively, "So I think we should not only continue to eat, but also increase our efforts."

"Let's talk about it later." The girl poked the rice with chopsticks. "By the way, I heard that you were assigned to star in this role by the production company?"

"Yes." The man nodded.

"...That's amazing, is it because of our last cooperation?" the girl asked slowly.

"I think so." The man said, recalling the conversation a few days ago.

"You are really amazing. The last thing you did was even on the trending list for a while." The girl pursed her lips.

"What I do is just the icing on the cake. There are many passionate people in the animation company. Even without me, they can still do an excellent job." The man smiled, "Just like this time. Look at the storyboards on the screen. Although they are all drafts, they are obviously more complete. This also shows their pursuit of quality and their very reasonable schedule."

"Come to think of it, why did you suddenly get involved in the production?" the girl suddenly asked.

"I admit that I was a bit of a swindler at first, but maybe I was infected by it later." The man paused for a few seconds, "People with dreams are always so dazzling."

"...Then, will you help this time too?" the girl asked in a low voice.

“They have a very strong team and there is nothing they need from me.”

"Oh." The girl was a little disappointed.

"Why do you ask these questions?"

"Nothing, I just thought the episode you drew was particularly good." The girl shook her head.

Things that are made with sincerity. Whether it is cooking or animation, it is definitely different.

She could feel the emotion and affection that filled the picture.

And without a doubt, the most touching part is at the end, where they meet under the cherry blossoms painted one by one in Wolong, and both of them know the appointment.

……

Saori Ōnishi and senior Matsuoka sat at the same table, along with the amiable sound director.

The three of them ate bento bought from a convenience store, which was simple and quick.

"Are Takizawa-senpai and Uchida-senpai close?" Ōnishi Saori asked curiously, turning her head to look over there from time to time.

"Well, we were in the same class at the training school and had a good relationship," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"They are all good. Then why don't you have a handmade bento, senior?" Saori Ōnishi asked curiously.
