Tokyo Sound

"Sure, I have a lot of classic videotapes in my grocery store, let's watch them together."

Chiba Zhensui nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. The buses in this village run a long time apart. Go and wait for the bus, or you'll have to wait for the next one."

"Don't forget your things." Chiba Noo added.

"Don't worry, the local specialties my father gave me are all packed." Sakura Eiji carried a very old-fashioned plastic bag on his back. He was wearing a suit and tie, but he was carrying a large colorful sack, which gave him a unique sense of fashion.

Yin Ze suddenly looked at Sakura Ayane and wanted to say something, but the girl took a step ahead and went up to give the two old people a big hug, and stayed with them for a long time before saying goodbye.

The man was stunned for a moment, then gave a complicated smile.

"The chances to hug the elders who love you are getting fewer and fewer" - this is a self-evident truth that the girl is of course well aware of and does not need anyone to remind her.

This guy will definitely become a great adult in the future, surpassing her proud parents. Of course, he will also surpass people like her.

Yin Ze thought deeply.

There was nothing else interesting to do on the way back. I just waited for the bus, sat on the bus, and passed the time watching the scenery passing by outside the train window.

However, it was not Sakura Eiji who was sitting next to Yin Ze. His uncle was different from the last time he came. He always felt that when he left, the boss was not interested in him. In short, that strange and thought-provoking enthusiasm was gone.

The girl sat next to the boy, slightly leaning her body and tilting her head, as if she was sleeping peacefully.

Since she successfully passed the entrance exam and returned to her hometown, she has always been a little excited. The days of preparing for the exam were really hard, and her sleep time was not guaranteed, so Yin Ze was happy to see her rest, so he did not wake her up, even though she used his shoulder as a pillow.

……

'At my fingertips is his gentle body temperature, his quiet breath, his slow breathing. And the ordinary conversations and interactions we have from time to time.'

'Those days were so simple that without them there would be nothing. But I firmly believe that in what we call life, the essential elements are nothing more than these. And because I share them with this guy, a family I trust and cherish, I can experience great satisfaction and happiness just from these trivial things.'

There is a slight curve at the corner of the girl's mouth.

'I respect my unique admiration, and I will not let my youth become a superficial name.'

The train sped past with only a slight shaking, which was the most real feeling after walking a distance.

Chapter 131 This is a step further

I'm Enterprise.

As usual, nothing serious happened. The staff who were writing materials were writing materials upstairs, and the newcomers who were familiar with the faces were helping out. The receptionist who was counting the snacks was absent-mindedly counting.

Saori Ohnishi had nothing to do today, nor did she have a part-time job, so she went to the company by chance. Every time she came here, she would be forced to get involved in a brutal office war and never had freedom.

But today is different. The company is really quiet, and there is no dark-minded hero or the sidelined Emperor Xian of Han in the rest area.

I have to work harder too.

The girl's steps became lighter. She took the initiative to help organize files, print and store documents. She had a strong sense of being hard at work and making a difference. This was a simple happiness that was completely different from getting involved in intrigues and seeking profit.

The ideal workplace life for young people should be like this: convenient commuting, like-minded colleagues, broad-minded leaders, and valuable production...

It seems like this, being a simple clerk is not a bad thing.

Nowadays, the voice actor idol trend is hot, and they adhere to the general principle of adapting to the times by showing their faces and releasing singles. Ohnishi Saori was forced to record a few role songs and even sang once at a small fan meeting. In addition, there are interviews and photo shoots for some magazines.

It stands to reason that a newcomer with only one or two years of experience should not be treated with such attention, but the Kashiwa family is a rebel. Senior Brother Matsuoka fears cameras like a tiger and regards the ceiling as his true love, so he naturally avoids similar activities. Senior Brother Takizawa is very effective in live broadcasting, but he is proud of his superiors but not humiliating his subordinates, bullies the strong but not the weak, and never touches cabbage when eating barbecue. He only goes through the motions of the orders of the head agent. Sometimes the conflicts are so intense that they even go off accidentally and even result in physical collisions, so he is not involved.

As a result, all kinds of things fell on the head of Saori Ōnishi, the trembling newbie.

But it just so happened that the boss Kashiwai had the foresight to predict the great wave of idolization and prepared resources to focus on such projects, such as Imas and forming some other groups, but they were just a drop in the bucket.

However, man proposes, God disposes. All this has gone wrong. Even the current beneficiary, Saori Ohnishi, is unwilling to become an idol...

Sin ah.

It is said that after the last bathroom sniper battle, the agent completely accepted the reality, and the number of social engagements each month decreased by 20 percentage points. He would set targets every quarter and then stay at his workstation in the office to earn a monthly salary.

"Hey, that's not a big deal. Stop busying yourself. How about some potato chips?"

The familiar Tornado Master appeared on the sofa in the lounge area. The once high-spirited gold medal agent seemed to have been gradually transformed and brought closer to someone, and even their lying postures were similar.

"Kashiwai-san...it's working hours now. It wouldn't be good if the president saw us," said Ōnishi Saori, walking by diligently with a folder in her arms.

"What are you talking about? I've been going to nightclubs with the bosses for so many years, can't I just enjoy myself?!" Kashiwa Ippei was unhappy, like a landlord who was corrupted by leisure, "Go, bring me more flavors of potato chips!"

"I still have things to do." Ōnishi Saori declined.

Kashiwa Ippei suddenly sighed, "With my careful training, you don't need to start from the basics like other newcomers and come here to help. But you still came, which means..."

"Does this mean that I'm down-to-earth and motivated?" the girl said a little shyly.

"It means you don't feel a sense of belonging to us!" the agent said.

"Why?" Ōnishi Saori was surprised.

"Humph, isn't it obvious? You don't make good use of my heavyweight resources, but come here to prepare materials, and you do it for others instead of me. It's obvious that you don't want to accept my favor, and you even want to go somewhere else!" Kashiwa Ippei pointed out the key point.

"So that's how it is. That's easy. Mr. Kashiwai, is there any work you need my help with?" Ōnishi Saori asked kindly.

"No." Kashiwa Ippei shook his head.

"Are you done? You're worthy of me." Saori Ōnishi complimented.

"No, I haven't."

"?"

"I resigned in anger because I couldn't stand the workplace exclusion at Dentsu. I was determined to make a big career. After careful observation, I predicted the blue ocean of voice actor idolization. I worked hard for a long time and got a chance. I should have taken off at this moment... Why, why did it turn out like this? Even you, Onishi, were unwilling to pick up a bag of potato chips for me."

Kashiwai Ippei sighed deeply, his face full of the loneliness of a hero.

"The long career is nothing compared to me."

"..."

After all, Ōnishi Saori was a young girl who had just started working. She was soft-hearted. When she saw the agent who used to exude strong confidence and a missionary-like aura end up in a depressed state, she felt that life was impermanent and felt very sympathetic and sad. So she quickly delivered the documents, took the potato chips that had just been restocked, and chatted with the boss.

"Come, drink with me." Kashiwa Ippei threw broad beans into his mouth, his tie was loose, and he looked like those humble middle-aged men in the izakaya who were frustrated, bullied by their bosses, looked down upon by their wives, and disliked by their daughters.

"I don't know how to drink." Saori Ōnishi said awkwardly.

"I don't know how to drink it either. Mainly, it's free." Kashiwai Ippei picked up the drink aimed at children with a Q-version doll on the cover, raised his head and drank it in big gulps.

"How come you don't know how to drink...?" Ōnishi Saori was puzzled.

"I used to be able to do that, but now, oh, my career pursuit is on the verge of collapse, my spirit is gone, my courage to drink is broken, and I no longer have the spirit of a strong man who treats cirrhosis of the liver as nothing. In a drinking game, the cowards are always defeated before the battle even begins." Kashiwa Ippei said sadly, "I can no longer rule Kabukicho, I have been in and out of Kabukicho seven times..."

Ah this.

Although Saori Ōnishi didn't understand, she could probably sense the deep sorrow. She was speechless for a moment and could only accompany the sad person with juice.

"Forget it, I won't say any more." Kashiwa Ippei turned his head and seemed to be wiping away tears. It was another small detail. "What I said before was just resentment. Don't take it to heart. How are you doing now?"

"I'm living very well now. Senior Matsuoka takes good care of me... although sometimes I'm often the one who has to smooth things over," Saori Ōnishi said quickly.

There are a lot of people vying for resources, and the agent is overwhelmed, but my situation is the opposite. I feel that except for a few colleagues who are valued and promoted, my situation should be the most comfortable.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu also takes his responsibilities as a direct senior into account and always pays attention to the status of his juniors. In addition to teaching them in dubbing, he also musters up the courage to take the lead in demonstrating how to communicate with his peers and how to use them.

From smiling and greeting to enthusiastic conversation, and then to such low-level social means as serving hot coffee, it is obvious that the person he imitated should be a pool boy with a thick face.

Since the reference model was wrong, implementation would naturally go wrong everywhere. Every time this happened, it was Saori Ohnishi who would step in to negotiate.

If this is Mr. Matsuoka's unique way of hiding his shortcomings and keeping safe in the face of intrigue and struggle, then it is too real and terrifying.

Is there a possibility that... this is what Mr. Matsuoka really looks like?

Saori Ōnishi, messy.

If this is true, then wouldn't the whole understanding of the Game of Thrones, in which the two dragons surrounded and killed the agent and fought for the right to speak on the Iron Throne, have to be overturned and started all over again?

"Hey, Onishi, why doesn't your senior who always comes here to slack off come over to eat and drink for free?" Kashiwai Ippei lamented a few more times, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, flashing a strange light, and turned the topic to a sensitive person.

Although no names were mentioned, this description is almost the same as reporting the ID number.

"I don't know about that either." Ōnishi Saori answered truthfully, "I haven't seen him for a while."

"He hasn't posted any tweets in the past few days, nor has he broadcast live broadcasts of himself playing games, nor has he used the internet for free. If it weren't for the fact that every episode of the anime was being broadcast and Hikigaya-kun was still talking, I would have thought he had evaporated." Kashiwai Ippei said solemnly, "This anime has been widely praised and received enthusiastic responses. The broadcasts are also talked about with great relish. Seeing that the popularity of the anime and the voice actors is soaring, but the main actor just doesn't do anything and doesn't participate in promotions and activities. Humph, I'm in a difficult situation..."

"You know that you are a noble man who does not cling to fame and fortune." Ōnishi Saori lied somewhat.

"Alas, he and I hit it off right away, and our friendship was golden when we drank and chatted, but I didn't expect that we would become distant so quickly. Our gentleness was too cold, and our coldness was too gentle." Kashiwa Ippei said affectionately, "Putting work aside, I just wanted to have a drink with him again, but now he's playing hide-and-seek with me--"

"She can't be missing, right? She still has a phone call," Saori Ohnishi thought her agent was too pessimistic.

"He used to answer the phone within seconds, but now he answers after three rings. We are all adults, and those who understand will understand." Kashiwa Ippei waved his hand, "How about this, you make a phone call for me and ask him to come to the office, and say we can eat the new snacks together?"

The first time I took the initiative to call the domineering senior, the content was an invitation to have a free meal on behalf of another man.

Although it was strange, based on her moral self-requirements, Saori Ōnishi still made the call out of sympathy for her agent's current situation.

It was answered immediately.

"What's wrong?" A magnetic male voice sounded, as cold as a retired special forces soldier in a Hollywood blockbuster who suddenly received a mysterious mission.

"... Kashiwai-san asked you when you would come to the company to eat the new, uh, new potato chips." Ōnishi Saori said awkwardly.

"Hah, new, open the door!" The man laughed loudly, as if he would break into the door and make a grand appearance in the next second.

Before I could react, I vaguely heard a familiar motorcycle sound, and then a figure strode in with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. The way he searched the snack area was like the gaze of an eagle or a wolf. It was obvious at first glance that he was a rare rebellious parasite!

"Where are the new goods?" Yin Ze walked into the rest area very skillfully. His phone automatically connected to the wifi. He first opened the game to collect expedition materials, and then slowly dealt with the table full of delicious food.

"Long time no see. I've missed you so much these days." Kashiwa Ippei raised his eyebrows, brewing his emotions.

"Another announcement?" Yin Ze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"You...why are you speaking so mercilessly!" Kashiwa Ippei was shocked.

"Senior, Kashiwai-san really wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. Look at what he has become now. Please put aside your prejudices against each other and your ambition to dominate." Ōnishi Saori was too kind and couldn't bear it.

Turning his head away, Kashiwa Ippei, who was feeling sad, chuckled in his heart.

Only then did Master Yin take a closer look.

I saw that the agent's gold-rimmed glasses had been replaced with black-rimmed ones, and his authentic beggar's edition watch had been taken off. His snow-white shirt was stained with oil stains from the curry rice, his trousers were not ironed neatly, his hair was sticky, and his face looked tired.

"Did someone else take over your stock trading?" Yin Ze asked with concern. "And your house was taken away by the bank? And you were diagnosed with kidney problems?"

I thought he was fired at best, but it turned out to be much more severe than I imagined. Kashiwa Ippei was speechless.

"My spiritual pursuit is shaky, and that sadness is also reflected in my appearance." Kashiwa Ippei said slowly, "I know you and I have different ambitions, but please believe me, I have also fulfilled my responsibilities. I am definitely not a person who goes back on my word. This time, I have gone through untold hardships to find you an unimagined path..."

"Is it an art film?" Yin Ze asked naturally.

"No!" Kashiwa Ippei said firmly.

“Is there an element of transcendence?”

“It’s a hero movie!”

"Does the protagonist have a second identity?"

"The protagonist has a hidden identity, which his teammates don't know at first, and his true identity scares the enemy!"

"What?! Could it be——!" Master Yin was shocked and quickly grabbed the A4 paper to read it.

It was clearly written on it.

'During the turbulent last years of the shogunate, the enemy and us continued to attack each other, and countless heroes and masters emerged. Among them, the legendary swordsman Battousai of the Meiji Restoration School was famous, but with the advent of a new era, his figure seemed to disappear in the long river of history. In the 11th year of the Meiji era, Tokyo, Japan. A man called the executioner Battousai appeared on the street...'

"?"

The man looked left and right, unable to speak. He finally spoke after a long pause.

“Is this work re-animated?”

The King of Cards also has an Asahi version and a DM, and the Egyptian Vampire Fight also has an OVA and a TV.

For famous cartoons, it is normal to shoot multiple animations.

Although the animation and OVA of The Red-Haired Swordsman are already very good and beautiful.

"It's not an animation, it's a live-action movie!" Kashiwa Ippei sneered three or two times and said something shocking.

"What?!" The man was shocked again. "After your dream of making me an idol was shattered, you even went a step further and wanted to make me a movie star! And you even came up with something like this. I don't know how much effort you have made behind the scenes!"

"Humph, actually I have some reputation in the film industry." Kashiwa Ippei's decadent aura was swept away, and he emphasized intriguingly, "It's a pity that I have not been in the Kingdom of Light for a long time, so I haven't received an invitation letter. But with this as a starting point, I can achieve a lot in the future..."

Yin Ze couldn't help but prick up his ears and asked involuntarily, "What do you mean?"
