Tokyo Sound

Chapter 146 Another small detail

"Why are you here? It can't be that you are here for dubbing. Are you here to buy the original novel to increase your understanding of the plot?" Risa Taneda and the other two came to the second floor of the novel store, enjoying a good position by the floor-to-ceiling windows, chatting while enjoying the air conditioning.

"Actually, it's because of the island..." Yin Ze was about to explain.

"There's a new work that we all like very much. It just so happens that we have a break together, so we came to check it out together." Shimazaki Nobunaga, who had already hatched the heart of a powerful shadow master, interrupted, "But Miss Taneda, I didn't expect you to have such a refined taste... From your appearance, you can't tell that you have this interest at all, but don't worry, we are not the kind of people who gossip, and we won't tell others about it."

"Yeah yeah."

Yin Ze agreed with what he said and said after coming to his senses.

To be honest, today, Zhongtian Sang specially covered his face and came to purchase BL publications. He definitely didn't want others to know about his hobby. As a result, he was bumped into by two demons by chance. He didn't think it was a big deal, but he was worried that the other party would be a little embarrassed, so he added.

"——Just like I don't hate women fighting, it's normal to like men wrestling."

"What are you talking about?" Taneda Risa also understood, spread out the small sack, and said with a smile, "I came down from the surrounding area on the fifth floor and bought Type-Moon's new art book."

"?"

The two men who both possessed the power of "Wisdom of the Moon" came forward and saw several thick picture books. The covers were quite familiar. After all, there were only a few poster girls, either the Knight King with blond hair and blue eyes, or the beautiful woman in a white kimono with a visible line of death. In comparison, the short-haired True Ancestor and the strange magician sister appeared less frequently.

"There are new models. Why didn't I know about it?" Shimazaki Nobunaga widened his eyes and immediately became interested. His nickname on social media is "Pure Moon Man", which shows how much he loves it. "Can I take a look?"

"Sure, sure." Taneda Risa was very easy to talk to. "I've already paid for the house on the fifth floor. You can demolish it."

Shimazaki Nobunaga took the album as if it were a treasure, carefully tore open the plastic cover, and began to read it. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This light, this water, this beautiful girl. President Takeuchi's level has remained the same for ten years. He is worthy of being a top-notch Saber fan. Let's not talk about other things. He is still full of fatherly love for his own daughter. Alas, time flies. The boy who was attracted by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception back then is now personally involved in the world view of the series. This may be the feeling of a dream come true."

"Oh, so, Shimazaki Nobunaga-san, you've acted in Fate/Zero." Taneda Risa said enviously, "It's great to be able to participate in such a good work. I also want to act in it, but I don't know if I'll have the chance in the future. I also want to be a heroic spirit."

"Hahaha, wait and hope." Shimazaki Nobunaga encouraged with pride as a successful person, "But I didn't expect Miss Taneda to share the same interests."

"Before I started working, I once queued for 7 hours alone at Comiket to buy Fate merchandise. All this is nothing." Risa Taneda waved her hands complacently.

"That chef's skills are quite profound." Shimazaki Nobunaga was surprised, then he raised his big sunglasses and began to introduce himself, like a top fresh graduate coming for an interview, or like a master introducing his own school before a competition, "I was first attracted to Tsukihime's fighting style, and then I got deeper and deeper into it. I have completed the original Tsukihime three times, the FSN four times, and collected all the subsequent games. I have more than 3 magazines in my collection at home, and I am also the voice actor of Hassan's Noble Phantasm clone."

"I was attracted to the game because of Kara no Kyoukai. I have a complete set of books at home, I have completed all the original games, I have all the versions of the animation on disc, and I even bought a disc of Shingetsutan Tsukihime, which I have watched more than three times—" Risa Taneda was no less enthusiastic.

There seemed to be the sound of internal energy colliding in the air.

"What? He even bought a disc for a remake of that explosive anime "Shingetsutan Tsukihime"! And he watched it more than three times?!" Shimazaki Nobunaga couldn't help but change his expression, and for a moment he truly felt the aura of oppression.

This person’s cooking skills are no less than mine.

"Since you have seen everything, does Miss Nada know the first to fifth methods? How much do you know about the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles? They both have the Mystic Death Eyes, so what's the difference between Shiki and Shiki?" Shimazaki Nobunaga raised his hand and tapped his fingers to ask.

"Are you taking this kind of entry-level question?" Risa Taneda snorted.

What follows is "The possibility that the knight will not die by grabbing Uncle B from the Twelve Trials with his bare hands and using him as a weapon", "The Magical Heiress Fist of Shinji, who enters the Dao through Martial Arts", "The correct way to use the Blood Armor of the Dragon is to lie on your back on the ground and fight with people", and "Will the old smoker's treasure after entering Valhalla be an endless supply of cigarettes and a lighter with endless oil?"

The Moon People are the best at talking about settings and fighting strength. It is possible that a forum was discussing the strength of heroes ten years ago, and ten years later, the posts are still repeatedly deducing. In short, there is definitely no shortage of topics.

During the sparring, Risa Taneda even let out a nerdy laugh that was completely inconsistent with her beautiful image.

During this academic exchange of a high level, the man miraculously did not join in. He just flipped through the art collection on the side, showing an expression of appreciation or contemplation from time to time.

"Why are you silent?"

Shimazaki Nobunaga noticed something strange and thought of a bloody game of Monopoly. He immediately raised his eyebrows hidden behind the lenses and asked in a deliberately provocative manner.

"You can't possibly think that Miss Taneda and I are too high-level fans, so you're afraid of us, right? I guess you, a casual person, can't compete with real fans in terms of collection and love."

"These publications are very valuable." Yin Ze just said calmly, "Look, there are interesting stories behind the scenes of Fate/Zero. In addition to the settings and original plans, there are also interviews with the main voice actors. As a contestant in the Fourth Holy Grail War, I am also in it."

He was the first to arrive after starting late, and he fought and attacked at the same time, which showed his true qualities as a master.

"?"

"Really?" Risa Taneda's eyes lit up. "I just bought it and haven't read it yet. Is it true? Which page is it? Let me see it?"

Master Yin found the right page and handed it over. On the wide page, the left page had a portrait of the glorious Dual-Gun Hero, and below it were the panel parameters and the detailed description of the Noble Phantasm. On the right page, there was also a photo of the brilliant and beautiful voice actor, and below it were some answers to questions and the performance experience.

Those who are familiar with him know that he is not very enthusiastic about interviews and has turned down many invitations from magazines. His fans, who are of complex composition, are not satisfied with just the updates on his account and ask if there are other channels and articles to learn more about him, but he keeps repeating the same few events and broadcasts.

Although there is a recording of his life broadcast, we know nothing about him except that he is struggling in Platinum III. Even on the agency website, in the voice actor's profile, apart from the general information, the column about special skills and hobbies says "I haven't decided yet"!

I really don't know how this passed the internal review. Even for the agency that Hikasa Yoko works for, this is a bit too free.

So the audience even knew the specific mistakes that the beast made in the game yesterday, but there was no more evidence that the beast was still alive, plus the surprise of being a crossover animation supervisor. There was a kind of illusion of technology, a phantom of artificial intelligence, very Schrödinger, very cyberpunk.

It's just that "Fate/Zero" is his first work after his debut as a voice actor. Master Yin is still a senior Wang fan who can play "The Solitary Pilgrimage" in his mind. Of course, he gave his all and burned with passion. He cooperated with all related work attentively and even took the only set of posed photos for the magazine so far.

Risa Taneda lowered her head and read the conversation carefully with great interest, and even recited in a low voice like a broadcaster -

“Q: Could you please share your feelings after seeing the finished product?”

"A: The group portraits are very good, and the battles are very exciting. The first serious fight is between Lancer and Saber, and I am honored by that. Also, the first episode where the King's army showed its strength and defeated the Hassans was very exciting. But I am still surprised that the assassin decided to face the enemy head-on. This is very unwise and tantamount to suicide."

"Q: Speaking of suicide, what do you think of Diarmuid being backstabbed?"

"A: This description is very cruel, so if possible, I would like to meet Mr. Gen Urobuchi himself."

“Q: The animation has achieved great results. After it was broadcast, what reactions did your friends around you have?”

"A: Hehehe, I have a friend who is very, very envious. And I also remember his expression, the expression of jealousy towards me."

"Q: I heard that you are a long-time fan of the series?"

"A: Yes, so I really want to continue to participate in subsequent works, if there is a plan. I was also fortunate to talk to President Takeuchi who came to the set to watch, and discussed with him as a fan. For example, mobile games will definitely be a good market in the future. It is a trend. If possible, I would like to participate at that time. Please give me a chance to audition, and I will do my best."

“Q: You and Diarmuid are both handsome, so are there any similarities between your characters?”

“A: Does being backstabbed often count? (laughs) Seriously, in the mythological prototype, Diarmuid has a divine weapon and superb martial arts to make a living, but his life is rather eventful and sad. I can relate to him in this regard…”

"Q: The tragic love story of Diarmuid and Graniel is still a very popular story in Irish folklore. What do you think?"

"A: At first, it was Granny who used magic to force him to elope, but after 16 years on the run, true feelings should have sprouted during this long period of betrayal and getting along. I personally am not used to fast and sudden relationships, maybe it's because of my nostalgic nature. I like old songs and old movies, and I also think that feelings need to be fully brewed to last long and it is easier to see through people. A relationship established between lightning and thunder sounds dramatic and romantic, but time is far more terrifying than thunder."

"Q: If you were to participate in the Holy Grail War, which Heroic Spirit would you want to be, and what kind of tactics would you formulate?"

"A: Even if I didn't have a God's Perspective and didn't know that there were only Xiao An and Kuro Ni in the cup, I think I would have run away with the Heroic Spirit overnight. Considering this, Caster is better. After all, most of them are cultured people, so we should be able to communicate. In addition, I would be very happy if I could summon famous artists and writers. With the existence of such a top-level familiar, all worldly wishes can be fulfilled, and it doesn't matter whether there is the Holy Grail or not."

“Q: Since we’re talking about love, which character in the Fate series do you like?”

"A: If you want to be friends, I think I'd be happy if I chose Shirou. I can eat with him and go high jump together. As for my wife, I just mentioned choosing Caster... I might as well steal the Killing Stone to make a relic and work hard to summon Tamamonomae. Compared to Toosaka Rin, who can help me and push me forward when I'm depressed, I really want someone who can live off her without working hard. She's also willing to support my Tamamonomae."

……

"You actually secretly implemented the lunar research program and even talked about it with President Takeuchi?" Shimazaki Nobunaga gritted his teeth.

How dare he work hard in secret and then surprise everyone? What's the difference between him and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and his light novels? I was almost fooled by the hypocritical camouflage of the salted fish.

"This interview is quite thoughtful, and some of the answers to the questions are quite good." Taneda Risa smiled and observed, "But this is really an old-fashioned concept of love. No wonder I haven't heard you mention it much."

"Do you have any high-level suggestions?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just want to cultivate a relationship, which will definitely take a lot of time. And now is a fast-paced era, maybe if we are too conservative, fate will pass us by." Risa Taneda shrugged.

"Humph, it's just talk, it's not necessary." Yin Ze sighed maturely, "If a person bases all his life interests on the stormy emotional impulse of love, it will be disappointing."

"Well, I do hold the same opinion." Risa Taneda supported her delicate chin with her fingers.

At this time, a voice came.

"I'm back. It's really hot outside. Eh? Isn't this Miss Taneda?" The nice guy Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, who had taken the initiative to buy water earlier, came back with a small plastic bag. It seems that in addition to cold water, she also bought snacks. She is indeed a close friend with a strong feminine charm among all the people I know.

"Hello, Matsuoka-san, it's a coincidence that we meet today." Risa Taneda waved energetically.

"Nice to meet you again, thank you for your advice. Uh, sorry, I didn't know you were here, so I only bought three bottles of water." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said apologetically while holding a plastic bag.

"It's okay, I'll buy it myself later." Taneda Risa didn't care. "But Matsuoka-san is different from those other people who are good at socializing. He really shows his emotions on his face. He is very kind and easy to understand."

"?"

"We are just getting better with time, but in fact we have the same goal." Shimazaki Nobunaga felt it necessary to explain.

"You are now a shameless Middle Eastern gangster, so don't talk about your appearance reflecting your heart." Yin Ze said bluntly. He took the bottle of water that belonged to him, but he didn't intend to drink it. Instead, he handed it to the girl, "Here's this bottle. I'm not thirsty either."

"Oh, thank you then." Taneda Risa didn't refuse, she took it with a bright smile, then tried to twist it, but found it a little difficult, so she said with an embarrassed expression, "I'm a little weak, could you please help me?"

Shimazaki Nobunaga's eyes moved slightly, and as a sober outsider, he seemed to have noticed something.

"This is a piece of cake." Master Yin has always been chivalrous. He has already given away cold drinks in the hot summer, so what's the big deal about screwing the cap after sales service? He held the bottle with his left hand with ease and twisted it with his right hand.

The lid was not opened.

"There's a lot of ice dew, it's very slippery." Yin Ze explained briefly, then secretly performed a two-character sheep-clamping horse move, with the force rising from the ground and spreading throughout his body.

The lid is still not opened.

Shimazaki Nobunaga no longer moved his eyes, but just held his forehead in silence.

"...This is really slippery." Yin Ze felt a little embarrassed facing those inexplicable gazes.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Risa Taneda said hurriedly when she saw that someone's palms were almost twisted red.

"Forget it, why forget it? We have to open it today anyway!" The man frowned and turned his head without hesitation, "Matsuoka, come and give me a hand!"

“?” Risa Taneda.

“?” Shimazaki Nobunaga.

It was Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's turn. He simply turned his wrist and then heard the crisp sound of the plastic strip breaking.

"Here." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu handed it back naturally.

"Here." Yin Ze handed it to the girl again and said with a refreshing smile, "Mineral water is sometimes like this, very mysterious, one person can't turn it, but when someone else changes, the problem is solved immediately. Isn't it magical?"

"Thank you... uh, thank you too, Matsuoka-san." Risa Taneda successfully got the ice-cold drink as she wished, but it was not what she expected... it felt weird.

"Now that you have finished shopping, are you going home soon?" Yin Ze asked casually.

"Well, not really. I just bought the most important things. There might be other things I'm interested in. It's a rare opportunity to come to a bookstore, so I might as well shop around. Do you mind if I apply to join the team?" Risa Taneda asked with her head slightly tilted.

"Well, it's just a small question. Let's take a look at it together. By the way, I also want to buy a portion of the peripheral products you bought. Where is it on the fifth floor?" Yin Ze asked.

"It's just a few steps away. I'll take you there." Risa Taneda lifted her hair.

"That's fine too. Thank you very much."

The man and the girl turned the corner and went to the fifth floor.

"Huh? Well, uh, shall we continue looking for books?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu scratched his head and asked normally.

"Anyone who likes Tsukihime is not a bad person, Ms. Taneda, we can get along."

Shimazaki Nobunaga, who served as the captain of today's team, showed a complicated expression as he saw his children going on a long journey, and sighed.

"Let them have fun, and let's continue with today's main mission. Afterwards, let Xiao Bailong give me a set of peripherals, so that he won't be charged for his crime of leaving the battle."

Chapter 147: The Heroes of Jianghu, the Courageous and the Merciless

The number of customers on the fifth floor of the bookstore has finally decreased, at least I can choose and select in peace. The design of the peripheral products is much more normal than that of light novels. After all, they have peripheral products, are not lacking in popularity, and have a user group, so there is no need to make the appearance fancy. Of course, the price is also much higher.

Yin Ze held a motorcycle helmet and followed Risa Taneda straight towards the Type-Moon products.

In the early years before he experienced the miracle of the toilet dimension, it was impossible for him to get such things. Later, when the Internet developed, he also relied on purchasing agents.

In the days when newsstands were still standing and paper media was still strong, there was indeed a group of enthusiasts who made magazines. Although limited in their abilities, they only carried some behind-the-scenes information, news, and editorial reviews, but with the paper man illustrations, it was very attractive to middle school students, and there were even CDs with ACG songs attached.

Earlier, one could only go to remote small bookstores to look for treasures.

But there, you never know what you're going to find.

For example, the shell is Agul, but the content is Kuuga, but the title is Ultraman Kuga. After watching for a long time, I still wonder if this Ultraman is really fake, and he doesn't even grow up to fight. Another example is the Hong Kong comic King of Fighters. The plot seems to fit the game, but the inside is secretly changed. Wow! Dark power 1000%, the anger is infinite! And it turns out that Fujido Kasumi is the heroine, and she was kissed by Iori Yagami and washed her lips with blood. She is worthy of being Yagami, and she easily did what others can't do. Who is Xiaoxue? An unknown passerby JK.

Or maybe you can do purchasing on behalf of others in the future. To put it in perspective, this is a high-level economic activity in the field of foreign trade.

"It's still a bit expensive." Yin Ze picked up the same art book and looked at the price tag on the back first.

"That's right, but what's important is not the price, but love." Risa Taneda said solemnly.

"...You sound like a salesperson behind the counter at a jewelry store," Yin Ze complained, "and also like a self-centered fiancée who is trying to encourage her to buy a ring."

"What are you talking about? If we don't actually support them, how can President Takeuchi and others continue to create?" said Risa Taneda.

"Reheating old food is a traditional art that we have to try." Yin Ze sighed.

"What do you mean? Fate/Zero has only been around for less than two or three years, right?" Risa Taneda wondered.

"Yes, so cherish it." Yin Ze, who is suspected to have touched the root, truly experienced the second method, and possesses C+ level clairvoyance (fake) ability, and can be called Gem Brother, said in an unfathomable way.

"Is it enough to just buy this one?" Risa Taneda saw that someone only had one copy, so she recommended, "There are others over there, do you want to take a look? I didn't buy it, but you might like it."

"I'm not particularly interested in the peripheral products of other works," said Yin Ze.

"Maybe you'll be in the cast too."
