Tokyo Sound

'Let go first'

"Why didn't you loosen up first?"

After a few rounds of bargaining like adjusters, the two men finally stopped their meaningless fight.

"Let's talk on Line tonight." Shimazaki Nobunaga greeted.

"Okay, let’s have a video call directly." Yin Ze nodded.

"…What are you talking about?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was very confused about this agreement that had no beginning or end.

"Nothing. Brother Shimazaki Nobunaga, didn't you just finish the audition for FGO? Come and share your experience with your brothers and tell them about it." Yin Ze asked impatiently.

"You are so brave, do you still need to share?" Shimazaki Nobunaga looked like he wanted to keep the experience to himself.

"How could you be so heartless? Could it be that you have forgotten the oath of Taoyuan?" Yin Ze couldn't believe it.

"Ha, let's not talk about the past anymore." Shimazaki Nobunaga shook his head with relief.

Master Yin rolled up his sleeves, ready to put to use the brutal couch fighting techniques that he had tested on his agent.

"Hey, hey, I won't come. Your leather sofa is too slippery. It's not comfortable to play at all."

Shimazaki Nobunaga became serious.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say about the audition, it's all the same. But I agree with you, we definitely don't have voices in the game, so, from a certain perspective, it feels more like choosing a spokesperson for the Master, right? This project is not small, and the agencies are all trying to get it for their companies. Newcomers may not be able to handle this scale, so we really have to pick and choose. Anyway, just perform as usual, I think you have a good chance."

"Nobunaga may be harsh in words, but he's actually very soft-hearted." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu commented on the tsundere with a smile.

"There are many Heroic Spirits coming to FGO, and I will definitely be able to join. It doesn't matter if I'm the Master or not. The story voiceovers probably won't be implemented in the game anyway. As for animation, that's a long time in the future. The main thing is that this guy committed suicide in the Fourth World War, and now he's allowed to be the Master. Wouldn't that mean he'd have to repeat himself every day?" said Shimazaki Nobunaga.

"When did I repeat the same grade all day?" Yin Ze's eyes widened. "You're the one who always emphasizes 'suicide'!"

Is this really the case? Shimazaki Nobunaga was stunned, and then he couldn't help but recall it, it seemed to be true.

"But I have to be polite. I have also prepared a gift of my own." Yin Ze said as he took out an envelope from his pocket.

"Isn't this a bit too direct?" Shimazaki Nobunaga looked gloomy, made a gesture of counting money, and asked quietly, "How much is in it?"

"What are you talking about? This is my portrait." Yin Ze was puzzled, then he opened the envelope and pulled out a few printed manuscripts. "Look at this Berserker named Asterios. Look at the composition of this broken card. Is there a golden spiral? Alas, such a charming character, how can it be only a 1-star card?"

"..."

Shimazaki Nobunaga was speechless when he looked at the illustration of the minotaur that was redrawn based on the original design.

Chapter 207: The Young Master Offers a Cow

If the weather had not yet reached its coldest period, Yin Ze would have wanted to take out the old coat in his closet that was the same style as the one he wore on his Justice Partners, but unfortunately he couldn't wear it.

Before coming, I had already made a unilateral calculation and felt that this battle would not only require a sound audition, but also depend on the spokesperson's moral, intellectual and aesthetic qualities. So after "Ronin Kenshin", Master Yin fiddled in the bathroom for the second time.

In order to get feedback, I even asked the girl upstairs to give me some suggestions.

"Is the slicked-back hairstyle a bit more business-like? Should I have bangs? Do you think this hairstyle will add points?" Yin Ze pointed at Emiya Kiritsugu, who looked melancholy on the phone screen.

If you want to achieve great things, you must be ruthless, not only to your enemies, but also to yourself!

Brush Brother died tragically at the hands of a despicable scheme by an unscrupulous magician killer. However, in order to meet the upcoming Master's application, Brush Brother's CV actually wanted to find some clever tricks from his enemies.

"...It would take a few bottles of hairspray to make this happen. Only this person's hair can be restored." Asamiya Kazuki slid her slender fingers across the screen of her mobile phone and turned to Director Kenneth, who had a confident smile on his face.

"This person is unlucky, so don't pay any attention to him." Yin Ze said with a heartless look, as if he had broken off all ties with his old master.

"Just simply grab the texture and it will be fine." Asamiya Kazuki picked up the hair dryer and curling comb and helped someone with her hair. Should we say that she is worthy of being a girl? She should be good at tinkering with hairstyles.

"Okay, okay, give me the most handsome one." Yin Ze raised his thumb.

"The sun really rises from the west. This is the first time I see you care so much about your image. You said it was an interview, but if you didn't know, you would think you were going on a blind date." Asamiya Kazuki asked in a dull tone.

Although he missed the mark, he was not far off.

Look at the beautiful female heroes on the list!

Even Shimazaki Nobunaga, who had been a Gokawa official and had seen a lot, could not control his emotions. He said bluntly, "I have a hundred fiancées in FGO!"

It's a pity that I didn't record it at the time, and I don't even know the name of the girl who had dinner with Shimazaki Nobunaga that night. Otherwise, I would have to leave physical evidence to blackmail Shimazaki Nobunaga and continue to drain the pond to fish.

"It's strange. You don't take care of your skin regularly, but your skin is better than that of other girls." Asamiya Kazuki sprayed some hairspray into her palm and began to carefully handle her hair. After washing her hands, she couldn't help but touch her soft cheeks. The touch was quite good. "Your appearance is also very deceptive. You look young, like a college student."

"I'm a college student." Yin Ze frowned and said, "...I'm a master's student in college."

"Do you want to trim your eyebrows?" asked Asamiya Kazuki.

"No need. Help me check if the clothes hanging out to dry are dry." Yin Ze took the razor and applied bubbles around his mouth.

"It's time to pay the water and electricity this month." Asamiya Kazuki's voice came from the living room.

"As usual, you pay it for me and I will give it to you in a few days." Yin Ze said.

"By the way, brother, aren't you going to change houses?"

"No, I don't have any plans for now. Transportation here is not a problem, there are plenty of food and drinks nearby, and the rent is quite affordable. What's the matter?"

"I'm just asking. Your current work is going well, right? You can definitely find a house in a better location that's spacious and beautiful," said Asamiya Kazuki.

"Well, living alone and feeling comfortable is enough, there is no need. It's so comfortable now, and it's convenient to go up and down and visit friends." Yin Ze said deeply, "After all, if I leave, I won't be able to finish the food you cook by myself."

"Is it possible that if you leave, I won't have to make extra portions?" Asamiya Kazuki smiled indifferently.

Oh, I really miss the little girl upstairs who wore a middle school uniform, was a little shy, a little introverted, a little reserved, but cute.

As we get older, we become more picky from time to time, and in a way, this also means that the relationship is close.

"But does this mean that Xiangyue-chan has plans to move? After all, you came here to go to school in the first place, and as your studies progress, you may indeed have to move to a new place." Yin Ze asked.

"No, just like you just said, everything here is really good," said Asamiya Kazuki.

"So... you're actually worried that I'll move away when my financial situation improves?" Yin Ze pondered, "Are you worried and sad about the possibility of separation?"

"What a familiar self-description." Asamiya Kazuki passed by with clothes in her arms and responded calmly, "And judging from your ability to make a living, it's obvious that you should be sad about losing your neighbor. It took you several months to master the skill of killing fish properly... In my hometown, your understanding would definitely be criticized from morning till night."

"I have to thank you for teaching me the skill of killing fish, which I used in the movie. Well, indeed, I have to admit that Xiangyue helped me a lot." Yin Ze wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with a face towel.

"Hehe, it's good to have this awareness." Asamiya Kazuki folded the clothes one by one.

"Let's have a good meal tonight. When I'm successful in my job application, I'll bring back some chickens and ducks!" Yin Ze took one last look at his image in the mirror, then went downstairs in a dignified manner and rode away on his bike.

She didn't even pack up before leaving. Asamiya Kazuki stood with her hands on her hips, watching the motorcycle turn out of the street. She put all her clothes in the closet, then took out the spare key her brother gave her and locked the door. Then she rode the pink electric bike she inherited to go to work.

……

Type-Moon is recognized as a miracle in the fan circle, and the creator of this story universe, Nasu Kinoko, is also recognized as talented.

But Type-Moon's success is also inseparable from another person, that is Takeuchi Takashi, the current president of the company. On the one hand, as an original artist, he has designed many distinctive characters; on the other hand, as a work partner, he silently performs tasks such as planning, original design, and distribution; on the other hand, as a good friend, he firmly supports his friends' creations.

When the club was working on "Tsukihime", Mushi quit his job and devoted himself to writing, but at that time his parents were in poor health and the economy was stretched, so odd jobs were not enough to help. In addition to using his connections in the game company to find composers and programmers for the team, helping to share the character design and art work, and even making suggestions for the plot, Takeuchi also took on the living expenses of his friends.

In order to obtain more development funds, the two sold everything they could sell.

In the end, Tsuki-hime was an epic success, taking the first step towards bringing the Moon Universe to the audience.

After the club was transformed into a commercial company, Takeuchi still said, "TYPE-MOON is a group that adds sound and images to the stories created by Nasu and turns them into reality."

Two young men met, shared the same ideals, trusted each other, and finally succeeded. It is a classic, standard story.

...I'm afraid some couples can't go through ups and downs hand in hand like this.

As for President Takeuchi, Master Yin had met him on the set of Fate/Zero. However, Nasu-san was quite mysterious. He was only heard of but never seen, and he could not feel Kinoko's warmth.

Today, President Takeuchi is already an uncle.

"Takeuchi-san, nice to see you again. Looking back, it seems like it was just yesterday when I participated in the production of Fate/Zero." Yin Ze expressed his admiration for the world's number one chef.

"Yeah, remember we talked about mobile games back then? And now we're really working on it," said Takeuchi. Although he is the president, he doesn't look like a fat financial guy, but more like an employee of a game company, with simple clothes and stubble.

"I am very honored to receive the invitation to audition, and I am very grateful for your recognition." Yin Ze said sincerely.

"Although I thought at the beginning, 'This handsome guy will definitely do well,' I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Takeuchi Takashi praised, "Let's not talk about voice acting and acting. I am more surprised by your achievements in original painting at AQUARE ENIX. I heard that you are now the most frequently cooperated external artist of CyGames. Really, if I had known earlier, I would have asked you to work for me a long time ago."

"That's not the case. Although Takeuchi-san is busy with company operations, his painting skills have never fallen behind." Yin Ze also praised.

"I know my level very well. I am old and lack energy. I have been staying in my comfort zone for a long time." Takeuchi Takashi said, "Except for line drawings, coloring and other processes are also handed over to other colleagues."

"Coloring? I actually have quite a bit of experience in creating texture and describing atmosphere. If you don't mind, Takeuchi-san, you can give me a few drafts." Yin Ze said calmly.

"It's on the list of FF14 official art collections, and it's CyGames' designated outsourcing. So, it would be polite for us to send out a formal invitation," Takeuchi Takashi said with a smile. At the same time, he felt quite strange.

...The art world does not believe in seniority, it only looks at hard work. In terms of the painter level, the young man in front of him might be a high-end talent that the company needs to communicate with through formal business channels. After all, his strength and works are there.

But what we are going to talk about next is the CV of the mobile game protagonist.

The two walked inside while chatting.

"By the way, Takeuchi-san, there's something I want you to see..." Yin Ze said, looking around vigilantly, then taking out an envelope from his pocket with a serious look on his face.

"Oh no, that won't work. You can't do that." Takeuchi Takashi quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

Then the world's number one chef saw several Minotaur illustrations appearing from the envelope.

"After reading the business plan, I was deeply impressed by Asterios. I was itching to draw a few pictures. I hope you can give me some advice," said Yin Ze.

Takeuchi Takashi was a little confused at first, but he was also the original artist, so he took a closer look.

The painting is really good.

The bull's head is full of wildness, while the human body is as sculptural and robust, with a full and powerful composition. The purpose of the standing painting, the precision and delicacy of the beauty, is valuable because it has content when you look closely and is recognizable when you look from a distance, which is absolutely the style of a master painter.

How strange. Take another look.

"Judging from the momentum, this should clearly be a five-star card," Takeuchi Takashi complained.

"Can't one-star cards be cool? Why should the card face be so inconvenient?" Yin Ze persuaded, "What's important is not the strength, but the love. And low-star cards also have their strengths. For example, although the Dragon Vein Gift Set is only three stars, it can provide half the NP amount when fully broken, and the cost is low, it is really cost-effective."

"You know a lot about the game system?" Takeuchi Takashi was surprised.

"I am serious about the game project!" Yin Ze said in a deep voice.

"Well...if the voice actor for the main character can become a skilled player, it will be a great help in promoting the project," said Takeuchi Takashi.

"I have experience in this. In the past, uh, I promoted the "Silver Advent Fantasy" very successfully, and everyone can see it. In addition, the fleet collection also sold well." Yin Ze smiled with gritted teeth. This time he has already risked everything, and even the painful black history is going to be spoken out personally as an honor.

"Yeah." President Takeuchi seemed to have heard some rumors and nodded approvingly, "Then let's do a sound check first."

Chapter 208 Let’s Go

"It's already lunchtime, why hasn't there been any news about his successful recruitment? It's rare to see him so ambitious. He'll be so disappointed if he fails." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu muttered like an old mother.

Kashiwa Ippei was speechless after hearing this. He felt that he had already recognized someone enough, but there were people who were even more superstitious.

The little white dragon is not a real god, how can he be so fast?

"Have you thought about the team-building plan? Where are we going to play?" Saori Onishi was in high spirits, much like an elementary school class monitor excited about a spring outing.

"As a leader, I will not make the mistake of having the final say. You can speak your mind, express your demands, and discuss decisions freely." Kashiwai Ippei said gently.

"You mean you haven't thought about it at all?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is not good at beating around the bush and always speaks directly to the point.

"If the leader has done everything, how can you prove your own value?" Kashiwa Ippei snorted.

"Did the senior brother make any arrangements?" asked Ohnishi Saori. First of all, that person loves to eat and drink, so he must have a treasure shop. Secondly, he promised to treat me to a meal, so it is reasonable to consider it.

"I let you play freely, but you immediately have to rely on another person. What does that mean?" Kashiwai Ippei said with some displeasure.

"Isn't this normal? Including the agent, there are only four of us in total," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Haha, you guys have all been deceived by that guy. He is so heartless, but how could he take the initiative to make a team-building plan? Can't you see until now that he is the kind of burden to fellow travelers who don't know the route or how to allocate time, and can only follow the team to eat, drink and sleep all the way?" Kashiwai Ippei said sternly.

"That's impossible." Ohnishi Saori shook her head. Others are treating guests, but the one treating them doesn't know what to treat them to. Isn't that a bit too much?

"That can't be possible." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's tone became more resolute. He had great faith in his good brother's perfection as a human being. "There must be a plan. Could it be that Kashiwai-san forgot something? For example, he lost the USB drive containing the PPT, or the three-color brocade bag with the note inside..."

"What?!" Kashiwa Ippei was furious. Even after talking so much, they were still superstitious about the bull-headed monster, and even the epoch-making treasure bag came out. Do these two really take me seriously?

"You are so obsessed with the devil that you have forgotten how to think. Whatever, let me take the lead." Kashiwa Ichi said calmly, "Let's raise funds for the team building first. Without money, nothing can be done. I will serve as a role model and invest 5000 yen."

The two believers who were suspected to be worshippers of the evil god with a bull head and a dragon body did not respond.

a long time.

“Isn’t team building funded by the company so that employees can organize themselves to play and relieve stress?” Saori Onishi said puzzledly.

"...There is no funding." Kashiwai Ippei stated the facts.

"Oh my God! Could it be that Kashiwai-san took all the benefits the company gave us as kickbacks?!" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was stunned for two seconds, then covered his mouth in horror.
