Tokyo Sound

"But you're not very old, are you?"

"Of course, I'm 20 years old and currently a college student. I just had my matriculation ceremony."

"Then isn't it a bit old-fashioned to call you 'sir'?" Hidaka Rina hesitated.

"Just call me 'Jun'." Yin Ze readily agreed, "Besides, Hidaka-san is still in middle school, which means we are still part of the campus. There is no need to be so particular about social etiquette."

“It feels weird for college students to use honorifics with me.”

"Well, he's a senior after all, so he should behave like this in the workplace."

"Okay, let's get started. First, we'll collect audience letters. However, we haven't recruited yet for this first round, so the staff prepared some questions in advance. Let me take a look."

Hidaka Rina didn't hesitate and opened the prepared envelope ceremoniously and took out the copy paper inside.

"Well, the first question is, are there any troubles in your life recently?"

"It's not about the work, how strange." The man was a little surprised.

"Does Takizawa-kun have any special knowledge about the Dark Reincarnation Fantasy?" Seeing this, Hidaka Rina simply asked.

"Not at all!" A resounding and decisive answer.

"..." The girl paused for two seconds to recover, "What about the troubles?"

"Not really. Although there are some small unpleasant things happening every day, such as the trams that are full of men and crowded to death, but if I have to mention the real worry, it is that my savings are not enough, so I always have a sense of crisis about life." Yin Ze thought for a while.

"Are you already worried about your personal property? Isn't it too early?" Hidaka Rina was a little surprised. She looked at him a few more times and suddenly realized that the boy's clothes seemed to be faded.

"It's okay. How about you? Are you having any troubles?" It was Yin Ze's turn to ask.

"Hmm, I feel like there isn't enough time. I always feel like there are so many things waiting to be done."

"Oh, after all, you still have to balance schoolwork. This stage of middle school is quite important. Because it's audio, you may not know it now, but today Hidaka-san even came in a school uniform. He must be really busy."

"There's no need to talk about this kind of thing."

"Didn't we say we would take a photo at the end? People will see it anyway." Yin Ze shrugged.

"Huh? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

The producer smiled outside the glass wall at this moment.

"By the way, how are Mr. Hidaka's academic performance?" Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Yin Ze asked a question that was just enough to make the topic interesting.

"It's okay, just fine." The girl said concisely.

"If it's excellent, of course I would answer excellent. As for the answers of average and okay, in most cases..." Yin Ze speculated with some ill intentions.

"What about Takizawa-kun?" The girl avoided the question and immediately used what she had learned to fight back, "What is the deviation value? You took the college entrance examination in January, right?"

"Me? Although I did take the test, I haven't calculated the deviation value." The man scratched his head.

"See~" Hidaka Rina snorted proudly, "If they were excellent, they would definitely brag about it. People with poor grades naturally won't pay attention to rankings and academic ability."

“I really haven’t calculated it…”

"Oh my, we are already adults, how can we be stubborn? How about this, tell me your college entrance examination scores and we will calculate them on the spot?" The girl smiled sweetly. Although she was still beautiful and lovely, she always felt that there was a trace of dark air floating on her body.

"The unified examination was 825 points, the second test was 351 points, and the total score was 451 points." Yin Ze recalled briefly.

"?"

The broadcast was going on happily but inevitably had some hiccups and delays.

The girl didn't move, just blinked.

"Eh? How much?"

"825." Yin Ze repeated.

"What's the score of the second test?" Hidaka Rina asked subconsciously.

"The Tokyo University entrance exam," Yin Ze explained. "I'm one of the qualified candidates in the liberal arts category this year."

The younger senior holding the manuscript fell silent immediately, and the calm producer outside the glass wall also opened his eyes wide.

“Ehhhhhhhh——?! No way!”

The high school girl who was suffering from headaches every day from studying cried out in shock.

"You got into the University of Tokyo?! Is this true?"

"It's just the third category in liberal arts, not the third category in science." Yin Ze shook his head and said it very naturally. He really felt that there was nothing to be proud of. After all, it was all thanks to his brute force memorization in the corridor of life.

The other 400-odd talents in the third class of liberal arts are worthy of admiration, not to mention the third class of science.

I can't even win in the open book exam.

However, these calm words sounded like the lonely sigh of a master to others.

"Is this true, Takizawa-kun?" The girl leaned forward slightly to confirm again and again.

"real!"

"Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations! My family and friends must be very happy too!" Hidaka Rina started clapping again, and this time she did it with all her heart, her hands turned red from clapping. Even the staff outside started clapping.

"Thank you." Yin Ze quickly returned the greeting, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Hidaka-san, you are the second colleague to congratulate me."

"Hmm? The first one?"

"He is a colleague of ours in IM agency, his name is Matsuoka Yoshitsugu. He is a great actor, warm-hearted and hardworking." Yin Ze said quickly and concisely.

"He's your good friend, right? We might run into each other on the set someday." The girl answered, and quickly calmed down. "...Oh, by the way, let's move on to the second question. The second question is, if you were to travel to another world, what would you hope for?"

"Of course I want to go home..."

"That's probably true for me. After all, it's a different world, so it might be dangerous and the language is foreign. I definitely can't survive there, right? But maybe there are powerful weapons or super powers that God will give me."

"I can't refute that."

Chapter 14 Come on, date me.

"Then here is the last question," said Hidaka Rina. "As performers, what do you think of the relationship between the knight and the princess in the play?"

"As for Alredo and Panisse, the first obvious thing is that they are in a master-servant relationship," Yin Ze said with his hands folded.

"Yes, Alredo was really dedicated. When he found it difficult to defeat his opponent, he used such a cruel and mutually destructive move without saying a word." Hidaka Rina said regretfully.

Although the enemies were not seriously injured, Yin Ze added silently in his heart.

"But it's not just a simple master-servant relationship, right? I think in addition to loyalty and duty, Elredo also has a deep admiration and love for the princess." Hidaka Rina thought for a moment, "Because of the insurmountable class existence, he can only wait for her from a faraway place... It's really a romantic story with a hint of sadness."

"Impossible love will only bring harm." The man sighed.

"What's going on? Takizawa-kun just showed an expression of someone who has been in love for a long time and finally seen through everything. Could it be that he feels the same way?" The middle school girls couldn't help but gossip.

"I just feel a little sad. Elredo's last words before his death were just about entrusting and comforting. It would be better if he could express his feelings in person. After all, he could even sacrifice his life without hesitation. If in the princess' eyes, these are just undivided loyalty without that kind of emotion, wouldn't it be a bit regrettable?"

After all, it was his first character, so he said a few good words on behalf of the Knight.

"That's true. Parting and meeting are sometimes always in a split second, so it's easy to leave regrets and sorrows."

Hidaka Rina nodded in agreement.

"Then, that's the question section. If you have any questions or are interested, please write back to me."

A cheerful background music for the interlude came from the headphones, and the two took the time to drink a few sips of water to clear their throats.

"Dong Dong Dong~ Next is the pitch-black voice actor temporary theater. Here, as the host, I and the guests will play the designated roles to complete the short play." Hidaka Rina turned the page to introduce.

"A designated role?" Yin Ze asked curiously, "Does that mean it doesn't have to be the original voice actor?"

"That's right. The host and the guests will randomly draw slips of paper with the names of the characters written on them from a box." Hidaka Rina repeated the rules after reading the script. "Each character will also have a prefix that introduces basic information. We have to perform on the spot based on this information."

"Do you want to think of your own lines?" Feeling that there was bound to be an accident, Yin Ze scratched his head in uncertainty.

"Yes, please provide a script." The girl pouted and deliberately complained to the staff outside.

"Because this is the first time worth remembering, if there is a mistake, it will seriously affect the follow-up. Speaking of which, from now on, seniors with rich experience and excellent business skills should be the guests, right?"

Seeing this, Yin Ze sat up straight and made a rational suggestion.

"In that case, I might as well keep this opportunity to play the role and leave hope and the good job of bringing smiles to everyone to the guest of the second round."

"So what does that mean?" Hidaka Rina asked curiously.

"Skip this part!" Yin Ze puffed out his chest and couldn't help but imitate the knight brother, "Hidaka-san, forget about me, please be like Panisse and move forward with the real protagonist!"

The producer outside held up a board with "Deduction of Money" written on it in oil-based marker with an expressionless face.

"I'm sorry, I just said something against my will, Mr. Hidaka, please don't abandon me. Please let me work with you to break through ourselves, face challenges and achieve success." Yin Ze lowered his head.

"A knight must not retreat in the face of battle." The girl watched the change of expression from a close distance. Although she was also nervous, she still cheered him on.

The two of them then rummaged through the small black box one after another, each pulled out a slip of paper and unfolded it.

"A handsome senior from the soccer club who is good at all kinds of sports but has a simple personality?" Hidaka Rina was stunned.

"A silly and cute literary girl in the second grade of junior high school whose special skill is making delicious cookies?!" Yin Ze was shocked.

"Ah, isn't this box filled with characters from the work?" Hidaka Rina gave the staff a questioning look.

After receiving a smile of affirmation and pleasure, the two looked at each other.

"Uh... so we have to perform with these two characters, but I drew a girl, Hidaka-san, how about we switch?" Yin Ze asked his teammates to exchange heroes.

"No, that's not in the rules." The girl with a ponytail looked away and rejected the exchange request.

"?"

"Compared to that, it's more important to quickly think about what to act in."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, in every sense, this literary girl is suitable for you, right?"

"But I don't like reading."

"You can make cookies just like her, and you even treated me to some when we first met." Yin Ze said with a smile, "As for me, although I can't play football, I have an absolutely simple personality and my appearance can barely be called pretty. There's no doubt that we got it wrong."

"It's true. When we first met in the lounge, Takizawa-kun tasted my handmade cookies, and you gave me hot coffee as a return gift, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"But this has no necessary connection with the work we are doing now, right?" The girl tilted her head.

"?"

"We are voice actors. We must not back down from any role we receive. I'm sure you think the same way." Hidaka Rina clenched her fists.

"But this silly and cute literary girl in the second grade of junior high school..." Yin Ze, who had always been the Party B, rarely looked hesitant when faced with the demands of Party A.

The producer wrote with a flourish, "Not enough time, start quickly" and raised the board.

A few seconds later, before he could react, a ding-ding sound came from his headphones, which sounded very much like the prompt sound for the transition of an old drama.

"That was a great training session."

Some inexplicable everyday music also started playing softly.

Hidaka Rina quickly got into the role, and although she tried her best to lower her clear voice, it still sounded soft and sticky.

"The competition is only a few days away, so I have to keep practicing. Oh, you, the schoolgirl over there. Are you here to watch us practice again today?"

"..." The man across the table lowered his head in silence.

"What's wrong? You seem unusually silent today?"

"..." The person across the table remained silent.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Before..." After holding it in for a long time, the boy uttered a syllable with difficulty.

"Hmm?" Hidaka Rina leaned forward and listened.

Yin Ze opened his eyes with determination in his eyes. He took a deep breath, imagining the emotions he had when he was forced to play the role of his mother during the house game. He then summoned all his skills and techniques, and spoke in an absolutely gentle and gentle voice, with absolute shyness.

"Senior, you are still so handsome today."

The sound is very thin.

The mood is spot on.

But the gender barrier is not so easy to break, even though he began to unconsciously twist his fingers like a little girl.

Hearing such gentle words at this moment, such a scene will naturally emerge in my mind.
