Tokyo Sound

"Werewolf, please close your eyes."

"Prophet, please open your eyes——"

Yin Ze first removed the mask of Maitreya Buddha, returned to his gloomy and heroic state, and then gradually opened his eyes.

"Who is the prophet going to check?"

The man smiled coldly and pointed without hesitation at Uchida Yuuma who was standing far away with his hands folded and trying to be cool.

"The pinky is the good guy, the thumb is the bad guy, this one is this one——" God is always showing his pinky finger.

The man frowned, as if the result that the other party was a good person was not what he wanted, but he could only accept such fate.

"Prophet, please close your eyes."

"Witch, please open your eyes——"

Uchida Yuma opened his eyes again.

"You have a bottle of poison and a bottle of antidote. He/she is dead, do you want to save him/her?" Shimazaki Nobunaga pointed directly at the witch herself.

Uchida Yuuma did not seem to have expected that he would be the one to be tricked that night. His first reaction was to look at a senior who pretended to be innocent and ignorant, with a look of deep suspicion in his eyes.

In this diet version of the village rules, witches can save themselves.

——But it’s not necessary.

Uchida Yuuma shook his head firmly.

"Are you going to poison someone?"

Uchida Yuuma pointed at the man again.

"Witch, please close your eyes." Shimazaki Nobunaga covered his face deeply, "It's dawn, please open your eyes."

Everyone is welcoming a bright and hopeful day again. The prophet's face is full of confidence, and he looks like he is about to start taking action.

Then hear it.

"The priesthood is destroyed, the werewolves win—"

Yin Ze's expression froze.

Uchida Maaya and Taneda Risa exclaimed in unison.

"?"

At this point, Uchida Yuuma already knew what he had done, and his expression distorted subconsciously, but he quickly regained control and tried to look innocent.

Unfortunately, this brief change of expression was caught by someone.

"Uchida! You've gone too far!" The man slammed the table and stood up, filled with anger. "You always bully honest people. Are you the reincarnation of Pan Jinlian?"

"My poisoning was very objective and completely reasonable in terms of probability," said Uchida Yuma in a deep voice.

"You're going to let me drink and sit in jail alone without a chance to speak?"

"Why do you keep talking about winning and losing? Isn't the main purpose of this game about joy? Have you forgotten our friendship two games ago?"

"I won't do this! How can I be a teammate with a fool like you?"

Why are they arguing?

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu hadn't figured out the situation yet and was completely confused.

"Hey, brothers, be quiet and stop arguing."

Shimazaki Nobunaga stepped forward to persuade.

"At worst, I can order a few extra servings of fried chicken nuggets, eat and drink well, and cheer myself up. Let's play another game. This game is still too backward for carbon-based creatures like you."

"Do you keep your word?" Yin Ze asked back immediately.

"Of course, your level is too high. It's not rare in the world, but it's also embarrassing..." Shimazaki Nobunaga sighed.

"He asked for four servings of deep-fried chicken," Uchida Yuma added.

"Oh, really." Shimazaki Nobunaga stopped talking in time.

"Okay, let's play something else. If you think about it carefully, our team is not suitable for this kind of competitive game full of intrigues. We should try something casual." Yin Ze said kindly.

coming.

After provoking.

The transfer point of dominance.

"What you said is right, why don't we play the King's Game?" Uchida Yuma said directly.

"you?"

Why do you want to play that? It seems like someone has some bad intentions. Yin Ze refused it cleanly and neatly.

"No, not playing that."

"That's right...then why don't we play Sociology Monopoly?" Uchida Yuuma seemed to be prepared. After being rejected, he immediately changed his words and played the strategy of taking a step back very well.

"I've never heard of it. It's such a niche thing that it may not be available even here." Yin Ze shook his head.

"It's okay, I brought it." Uchida Yuma smiled lightly and took out a thick box from his schoolbag.

"You brought your own?" Yin Ze was surprised.

"Sorry, I'm late—" a familiar voice gradually approached. Rina Hidaka, dressed in casual clothes, found their seats and walked over, untying her thick scarf as she walked.

"Another senior has arrived, just in time." Uchida Yuuma said with satisfaction, "Then let's start the life simulation."

Chapter 87 Uchida-ryu, start the formation

Uchida Yuma.

A year ago, he was an ordinary high school student, with stable average grades, and only dabbled in club activities. He also met someone by chance. He spent most of his time working part-time. Apart from the influence of his family's less than ideal financial situation in his early years, he actually liked this kind of social observation.

Through work, many stories can be observed.

He lied about his age and worked a lot of jobs, including working the night shift at a convenience store, cleaning a theater, taking orders, working as a warehouse keeper, and running errands behind the scenes. They were all small jobs that required him to do menial work. He also worked as an assistant in a late-night restaurant. They were all tiring and boring jobs.

But it’s an interesting perspective.

Those who come to eat late at night are not young and energetic students, nor are they business elites in suits and ties. Most of them are people who are under pressure from life.

Uchida Yuma once saw a bankrupt and frustrated president coming to drink alone. He was found by debt collectors. He hurriedly ran outside, but was tripped and fell to the ground. Finally, he was surrounded on the street. He simply gave up on himself and said with a silly smile that "just kill me".

I also met customers coming out of gigolo bars and hostess bars. The chic gigolos and heavily made-up women should have smiling faces and eloquent words, but they all had blank expressions and just ate without saying a word. Once, the hostess who often came had bruises on her face, but the gigolo still didn't say a word, just ordered one more thing for her, paid for it and left.

There was also a father and son who didn't seem to get along well. They only ordered a meat and vegetable soup. The father gave all the meat to his son, but the son got angry and took the meat back. Both sides were glaring at each other and no one touched the food, even though they were both hungry.

There was another senior in the store at the time, who was very young and probably had just graduated from college. He seemed to care a lot about the bar woman who often came to buy supper at three in the morning, and would often add extra portions without his permission. The woman should have known about it, and would tease him while waiting for the meal, and tell dirty jokes to the senior. The senior would just blush and say thank you for your patronage and please come again next time.

Later, the woman in the bar seemed to have changed jobs. She no longer leaned against the front desk and made fun of the young clerks while putting on makeup while reeking of alcohol. The senior also resigned.

Uchida Yuma read these silently like a reader outside the story.

Life is like a ruthless carving knife that changes people's appearance.

He began to think about himself in twenty years' time. In the future that he would eventually encounter, would he also become silent and taciturn, and would simply sigh when seeing good or bad things?

As the only son in the family, will he be able to support his elderly parents and his own small family by then?

Would he also walk into a store alone in the dark night and eat mechanically as if he was simply trying to survive?

When his high school employment teacher asked him about his future choices, Uchida Yuuma felt that he was not cut out for academic study, so he replied that he wanted to work, no matter what industry, and wanted to be involved in work.

As long as you boil the water in the hot pot for a few times, you will immediately know your own weight, what you are missing and what you want.

You don't need to look for things like "answers" and "real things"; they will come to you on their own.

As for why I chose to be a voice actor in the end, my sister really played a big role in that.

In my impression, my sister has always lacked initiative, and had a negative attitude in the early days and did not have a clear plan for the future.

The siblings have a very good relationship, and he has long been prepared to help and support his sister.

But since when did the originally confused sister become clear about her purpose?

I have been practicing my spoken English diligently both when I travel and when I get home. At first, I could still mumble and drag my words like many other people, but gradually, my lines of expression are almost as good as those of a weather forecaster.

I have also studied the courses in the training school, and I know that it is not that magical. My sister's skills are acquired slowly. She does not have any talent to speak of. She is just average. She just seizes the time and moves forward steadily in one direction.

Do you think the industry has a bright future? It seems that it is just that, and the exposure and status of senior veterans are difficult to compare with those of serious big-name artists.

Have you finally found a field that you can devote half your life to? But you have been hesitating for so long, why did you choose this period of time, and why did you become so determined?

There should be an opportunity, right?

In the end, Uchida Yuuma met the man and learned that he played a part in his sister's decision.

But the first impression was not very good. Not only was the other person hungover, but he was also talkative, gentle, familiar, and looked dangerous. These elements are not a problem when listed separately, but when combined in one person, it is a big problem.

I have seen a lot of such slick types in my several years of social practice. They usually rely on their natural advantages or nonsense skills to gain small profits for themselves. It is difficult for them to repay the money they borrow on time. They are not people you should make close friends with.

But the elder sister cares a lot about this person, so Uchida Yuma can only wait and see.

He looked through this guy's broadcasts, read the few written interviews, and even found footage of an early TV station interviewing passers-by at the Tokyo University entrance ceremony.

Thus, the image of a young man with a degree from a prestigious university, a handsome appearance, kindness and integrity... and a good young man in society who would hand over any money he found was pieced together and stood before our eyes.

Something is wrong...

After joining the IM agency, Uchida Yuma often asked his colleagues about things.

Many agents praised him as a rare self-managing talent who could find food for himself, especially steak. His evaluation was very high, which showed his strong business ability. The seniors said he was a good seedling. Some juniors said they were treated as guests and expressed their admiration.

All of a sudden, the image of a famous handsome man in Kanto became more solid.

Not to mention that later on, news about the animation supervisor and voice actor became part of the Japanese trend, and the latter instantly became famous and became one of the popular voice actors.

Uchida Yuuma became more and more confused.

This may just be a personal opinion, or it may be a lingering sense of déjà vu.

but.

——The figure of Takizawa Satoru sitting there almost completely overlapped with the figure of the guest he saw at the late-night dining table.

Despite being a tough guy who made a comeback and surpassed Akamon, he never showed off his talents, did any corresponding marketing, and never mentioned much about the campus life of the University of Tokyo.

Although her image is so good that even if she can do nothing and is just a vase, people will buy her, but she has not posted photos of her daily life for many years, and her account is like a robot that only collects stupid people and beautiful girls' photos. She will also promote interviews, take photos for magazines, etc.

Even though his drawing skills were so proficient that his debut in the animation original painting world became a legend, he just reposted two more Hyouka ads to celebrate the sales of the BD.

Kyoto Animation Company actually talked more about interesting behind-the-scenes stories and was very positive about the animation capabilities.

Director Takemoto always calls me "my good brother", but this is too subjective and will not be taken into consideration.

Director Kigami was a little more objective and bluntly described him as a "rare genius".

But Uchida Yuuma couldn't feel any of this in reality, as if these achievements were not made by himself, but by a stand-in with a 5A-level panel who was working hard for him.

Instead, they would fight with each other over things like buying drinks, and there wasn't a single trace of the spirit of a rare genius or a good young man in society.

I always feel that if they didn't know each other, and I was still working in a small shop late at night, and the other person happened to walk in at midnight, ordered two taels of soju and some side dishes, and drank alone at a small table without saying much, this would be the most real encounter that neither of them was prepared for.

At this time, the waiter can ask any questions after serving the dishes, and the guests can respond at will.

What I want to ask most is.

"What is your ambition?"

or.

"Do you have desires?"

This is why Uchida Yuma was confused.

Other guests are under pressure from life and restricted by reality, so they have no choice but to compromise, seize the free time to catch their breath and wait for tomorrow to come.

So why do you, who are favored by everyone, become the same as them?

In his sister's words, Takizawa Satoru is a person who has encountered many setbacks, but still has ideals and works hard for them. Now that his efforts have borne fruit, whether he continues to be a voice actor or participates in creation as an animator in the future, it will be a happy ending for everyone.

Just like the singer that the senior in the store liked, she quietly accumulated strength, and finally one day left the noisy bar to pursue the life and life she wanted. She was so anxious and couldn't wait, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of saying goodbye to the past and the present.

But Takizawa Satoru, who also completed his savings, is different. He came last night and will come tomorrow night as well. Like other life travelers, he drank silently and tiredly, and could not walk into the bright day he desired.

why?
