Tokyo Sound

"I can't say it's a talent. I have accumulated a lot of experience in my daily life. It's important to find opportunities, but it's more important to seize them." Shimazaki Nobunaga shared his success stories.

"Currently, the four volumes have sold more than 50 copies in total, and the PV of the UFO animation has also been viewed over one million times. It's really attracted a lot of attention. What do you think about this?" Yin Ze asked.

"I feel like this guy really did it." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded vigorously. "I never thought Nobunaga would actually do what he said. He is an amazing person."

"It's not just my own achievement. I also have to thank the illustrator for his help, including the cover design," Shimazaki Nobunaga recalled. "He accompanied me when I first went to Lightning Bunko. Later, when I was stuck and wanted to go out to collect materials, he also caught me... He encouraged me to join the editorial department."

"The protagonist's name is 'Shimada Nobumoto', which is similar to your name. Did you use substitutions when writing it?" Yin Ze asked maliciously.

"Haha, after all, it's a projection of my emotions and a manifestation of my expression. Of course, I'll add some of my own things. But there aren't many of them. The protagonist has his own logic." Shimazaki Nobunaga covered it up with a smile.

"This time, Matsuoka was also chosen to voice the protagonist," said Yin Ze.

"Well, since we are so familiar with each other, I know his abilities very well, and I feel completely relieved to leave it to him." Shimazaki Nobunaga raised his face and said with emotion, "This book contains the efforts of the three of us. It is really meaningful and can be regarded as a small legend in the industry."

"Matsuoka must have read the novel a lot, so what's your understanding of the protagonist?" Yin Ze found that this guy was not interested, so he chose to ask someone else.

"My biggest impression is that although the protagonist is gentle at heart, he also has a cold side. He is very active, always makes decisions quickly, and has good luck with women." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu thought for a while, "But when his companions are in crisis, his rescue seems to be just in time, which can easily lead to accidents."

"I hope Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga can arrive as soon as possible when we encounter difficulties." Yin Zepo said.

"I want to emphasize again that I did not imagine myself as the protagonist." Shimazaki Nobunaga squinted, "And your address to me is not alienating, what are you trying to cut off?"

"Absolutely not." Yin Ze said righteously.

"Come to think of it, it seems that everyone expected Matsuoka to play the protagonist." Shimazaki Nobunaga changed the subject and said seriously, "Of course, our good relationship is partly responsible. But there is also the impression that 'Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is the representative of Japanese harem male protagonists'."

"...I can't bear it, I feel guilty about it." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu waved his hand. He was the one who wanted to cut ties. He didn't want to be framed, especially in such a dangerous set.

"Why should I feel guilty? This is the mainstream opinion, and it is a good reputation established by many works. Host, do you think so?" Shimazaki Nobunaga chuckled.

"Oh." Yin Ze responded coldly.

The barrage floated by.

"Japanese representative, grass ww"

"Then isn't MC the representative of pure love?"

"It seems like every sentence they say has a metaphor. Is it my illusion?"

"I am a single representative—"

"Stop talking about that. Actually, all three of them have representative harem works."

"Finally, there is a trustworthy group"

"What a loving conversation, stable friends and family."

"I just briefly talked about the male protagonist, so next is the information about the female protagonist." Yin Ze explained with a manuscript in his hand, "Since the original author is here, let me ask by the way, does the female protagonist that Mr. Shao painstakingly created match your imagination of your other half? Do you have any expectations?"

"Hey, this question is too unprofessional. Novels are fictional, how can they be confused with reality?" Shimazaki Nobunaga chose to answer with a non-stick pan. Just kidding, maybe Yuyumi is reading this, who can be held responsible if I say something wrong?

"I see. You are a truly rational creator."

Yoon-taek praised dryly.

"So far, we have only revealed the voice actor of the protagonist. So next, please allow me to introduce the information of another important character. The first partner that Shimada Nobumoto met on his long adventure was the eccentric thief girl Eugenie Therese who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. And her voice actor is - please watch the VTR."

The live broadcast switched to another video, while the guests at the scene also watched it on a small TV.

"Hello, everyone watching the live broadcast.

A lively and sweet voice actor waved her hand to say hello, and she had dimples when she smiled.

The barrage increased rapidly.

"Okay, okay."

"I'll give a big thumbs up to both voice actors!"

"The lineup is really solid."

"My name is Minase Inori, and I'm very happy to be a part of this work. When I first learned the truth about the original author, I was really shocked. I never thought that this would happen. Shimazaki Nobunaga-san really did something incredible. This time, I play Eugenie, who is experienced but still innocent and romantic. I am also as energetic as her."

The girl faced the camera and spoke with a proper manner and tone.

"It was so funny when she and Xin Yuan first met. This is really a well-made animation. Don't miss it. Oh, that, the protagonist is played by Matsuoka-san. Hehe, I feel relieved that we can work together again this time. I hope everyone will give me more advice. Bye~"

The scene cuts back to the scene.

Clap, clap, clap. The three people were clapping.

"Thank you for the video Ms. Minase." Yin Ze turned his head, "Matsuoka looks like he has something to say?"

"No, I didn't know this news at all before." said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"The insiders must have known this first." Shimazaki Nobunaga finally put on the airs of the original author and said, "You have acted together before, so you should have a tacit understanding. I'm counting on you this time as well."

To be honest, when Mr. Shao received the news that Minase Inori was selected through the audition, he scratched his head and sighed with emotion.

Sometimes, some things just happen.

"Teacher, rest assured, I will do my best." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu solemnly made a promise.

"You and Ms. Minase both won voice actor awards a while ago, what do you think of her?" Yin Ze asked.

"... Well, to be honest, I feel like I'm getting old." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said slowly, "In terms of age and experience, I definitely have the advantage, but she's really not far behind. I think she must have gone through a lot of hard training. I really admire her."

"There was an event before, and I was there. Every word you said could cause the audience to fall silent, and it felt like we weren't getting along well. Are your relations better now?" Yin Ze continued to ask.

"Of course, this is natural, and it wasn't a dull moment. It was far from a dull moment accident." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu defended.

"It's a pity that Miss Minase is not here today, so we only recorded the VTR. Otherwise, we could meet and chat with everyone." Shimazaki Nobunaga sighed artificially.

"Yes, yes." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu agreed, "If everyone is here, I can show how much I have improved in interpersonal relationships."

"It seems that not only you, but even the barrage feels regretful, but it doesn't matter!" Yin Ze suddenly laughed, "We exist to make up for the regret. To be honest, that is not a VTR at all, but a live broadcast backstage. Please welcome our second guest, Miss Minase--!"

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was stunned, sat up, and his face became obviously solemn.

Amid the applause of the staff, a girl dressed exactly like in the previous video appeared trotting out, this time waving her two hands, "Hey, hello everyone, sorry for lying just now, I actually got here at 7:30 and have been hiding in the backstage the whole time."

"Thank you for keeping waiting for so long. Staff, please prepare new chairs and take a seat." Yin Ze waved his hand and a big-headed man appeared with a stool and drinking water.

"Uh, can we edit it?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu asked in a low voice.

"At this moment? Are you kidding?" Shimazaki Nobunaga was surprised.

Outside the venue, Moriki Hiroya, who was known for his uncut style, nodded cruelly.

Chapter 46: Possession

"We all know each other, no need to be so polite, sit down quickly." Yin Ze urged the big staff to put the chairs next to the main actors. The host is on the left, the special guest original author is on the right, and the middle screen should be left to the voice actor, which is reasonable.

"Hello everyone, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Minase Inori showed a youthful and lovely smile, "I thought they would wait a while before letting me go on stage."

"A powerful trick loses its meaning if it is not used when it is needed." Yin Ze waved his hand and said, "Let me start the conversation first. What do you think of joining "Makai Senshi" this time?"

"When I auditioned, I knew who the illustrator was, but I didn't know the original author was Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga. I was only informed by the producers after I was selected. I was really surprised at the time," Minase Inori emphasized.

"My friends often say this to me recently." Shimazaki Nobunaga responded calmly, and reached out to smooth his bangs with a look of satisfaction.

"Later, I heard the news that Matsuoka-san would be the main character, and the pressure suddenly became huge." Minase Inori emphasized.

"Why?" Yin Ze asked.

"After all, the force field formed by the three of you is too thick. It's hard to penetrate it." Minase Inori complained, "It's a completely super stable triangle relationship. Besides, Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga and you are very good at talking. You can keep talking, which makes others even more intimidated."

"Indeed, Teacher Shao never has a dull moment. He speaks in a very coherent way, as if he doesn't even need to take a breath." Yin Ze nodded in agreement.

"In my work, Eugenie is a girl who runs around carrying the fate of her family. She lives alone and is a very active girl. She is cheerful, optimistic, lively and clever. The fact that she stood out in the audition shows that Miss Minase has the same qualities." Shimazaki Nobunaga was self-respecting and ignored someone's hint. "In other words, even if it means cutting off the triangle relationship, we must get in."

"No, it sounds very difficult and might feel a bit painful." Minase Qi said with a smile.

"But Ms. Minase and Matsuoka are also quite destined to win the voice actor award together. Congratulations to you again," said Yin Ze.

"No, no, no, I still have a lot of shortcomings." Minase Qi said modestly.

"As the original author, I am very happy that the hero and heroine of my novel are played by two main actors." Shimazaki Nobunaga nodded, and then called out, "Hey, why doesn't Matsuoka say a word?"

"Uh, well, the new guest has just appeared, so it's not convenient for me to interrupt." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sat properly, his hands formally placed on his thighs.

"He's a serious person." Minase Inori praised, "Matsuoka-san always plays a strong protagonist. I feel like he will help me solve problems when I encounter difficulties."

"The character and the voice actor cannot be confused, I'm just an ordinary person..." pointed out Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Well, if I make a request, will Mr. Matsuoka selfishly ignore it?" Minase Qi asked back.

"That's not necessary." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu muttered.

"Hehe, just kidding. We won't bother you. We are professional voice actors. Even if we don't understand something, we should help each other." Minase Qi followed.

It's just right.

"Matsuoka just mentioned his progress in interpersonal relationships. Does Miss Minase have anything to say?" Yin Ze did not give him any breathing space mercilessly.

It seemed that Matsuoka Yoshitsugu had been freed from the bondage of the Demon Dragon God. He was already pursing his lips and looking at the ceiling, entering the classic shield posture.

"Because I can't close the distance with someone I meet for the first time, but my first impression of Matsuoka-san is very good, he is a very gentle person." Minase Inori explained, "He won't come over unless it's necessary to talk, but when I talk, he will listen carefully. Then the topic of acting was about acting, and he is really good at it and very professional. We often communicate naturally while praising each other, and then we end the topic smoothly without knowing the topic."

Although he was talking with great interest, it didn't sound like he was a social expert. Yin Ze and Shimazaki Nobunaga pondered together.

"Ms. Minase is also a very considerate person." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu added, "... She often helps me smooth things over. I am really grateful for that."

"But you still used honorifics when speaking to her." Shimazaki Nobunaga seized on her weakness, "You are obviously older and more experienced than her."

"My manager has also pointed this out to me." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu touched his nose. "I used to use honorifics with both seniors and juniors. It wasn't a big deal during my debut years, but now, it often causes misunderstandings. If I use honorifics with newcomers, they will think it's another form of workplace bullying..."

"Not necessarily. I am here today as the original author, but you don't have any honorific title for me." Shimazaki Nobunaga sneered.

"Didn't I tell you to burn the teacher? Is it not okay to just call him teacher?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu felt strange.

Shimazaki Nobunaga gritted his teeth as he was attacked in the midst of his busy schedule.

"But you are quite affectionate with Saori, calling her by her name." Minase Inori said quickly.

"He's a direct descendant, and he also calls him by his name." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu pointed directly at the host.

"He is a different type. In his early years, he called everyone by their names." Shimazaki Nobunaga said lightly, "And you use honorifics to address everyone, which makes them the two poles of the north and south."

"Indeed." Yin Ze admitted. When he first arrived, the names here were generally long, and daily conversations were not smooth, so everyone he met was called "big brother, big sister" and "master". Even now, he still doesn't understand why calling people by their names makes the relationship closer than using nicknames.

The key point is that this understanding is not an isolated case.

Yin Ze and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu discussed the same thing. At that time, he helped Matsuoka to decide how to address Haruka Kamura. The two agreed that calling her "Haruka" was both serious and friendly, but "RuRu", which was similar to "Haruka", was a bit too intimate and exceeded the normal friendship.

So he decisively chose the former, and was severely criticized and educated by Saori Ōnishi who was passing by.

Hey, why did Daxi allow senior brother to call her name?

Humph, it turns out that Junior Sister is jealous.

The barrage of comments rolled due to the revelations.

"Sad news, Mr. Shao, who writes light novels on the side, is actually the most normal one!"

"I envy being called by my name"

"The triangle relationship refers to the poles and the equator, right?"

"Only a kid Buu can sever the relationship."

"Then I will try to make Mr. Matsuoka stop using honorifics to address me as soon as possible." Minase Inori said with a smile.

"I'll try my best." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded.

"Hehehe, you always reply to others seriously." Minase Qi laughed again, "Is there anything you need to do recently?"

"Gaming routine?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu tilted his head.

"No, it's a matter of life."

"When I get home, I eat candy that has a strong taste, especially the sour kind."

“Why?” Yin Ze wondered, “For despicable people like me and Brother Shimazaki Nobunaga, this kind of candy is used to persecute others.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Shimazaki Nobunaga cut off. He now had a lot of baggage as a writer.

"Eating one will make your mind clear," said Yoshitsugu Matsuoka.

"Oh, I understand. You eat something stimulating in order to dispel what happened today." Minase Qi suddenly clapped his hands. "This relaxation method is a bit strong, but I think it will work wonders."

Can this also be a synchronized thinking circuit? Yin Ze and Shimazaki Nobunaga continued to ponder.

"Ms. Minase... Mr. Shimizu, what about you?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu asked after a pause.
