Tokyo Sound

"What is this?" Kashiwai Ippei sat on the floor and picked up the wooden photo frame on the table. There was a message from the government on the back, saying that they hoped the children would not forget their hometown.

"It's a gift from the government to encourage childbirth," said the father. "It contains photos of newborn babies."

“There wasn’t such a thing before, right?”

"All the schools have been closed down and merged. There are not enough students. Everyone wants to go to Keihanmei, just like you."

"How's the field?" Kashiwa Ippei also went to get some rice and ate it facing the scenery of the courtyard.

"I'm old and can't take care of it, so I don't grow vegetables much anymore. But I still have to pay the fixed asset tax. I'll see how to use it in the future." said the father as he took a bite of pickles.

"Isn't it time to repair Grandpa's old house?"

"In my opinion, it should be taken down. It's just sitting there idle anyway, and you need to clean it from time to time."

"Okay, I'll pay for it." Kashiwai Ippei said happily.

"Tell me about your time in Tokyo," my father finally asked.

"That's a long story. I have done some things. Some of them have even risen to the social level. Don't think I'm bragging when you hear me." Kashiwa Ippei laughed.

"It's okay. I'm retired and you're unemployed. The last thing you lack right now is time."

The father scooped a bowl of miso soup and placed it next to his son's rice.

"Say it, I'm listening."

Chapter 59: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

The Sun Also Rises.

The firm continues to operate.

Shelves in the snack area begin to be restocked.

The taste of calcium milk is still sweet.

The password for the public network has not changed.

Yin Ze brushed the dog food book for a while. When he was slacking off, he was a little uncomfortable without the weird voice beside his ear. He lacked the excitement of being a parasite in front of others. He decided to lie down for a while, and then take the Accord for inspection and maintenance. He also needed to learn more about the relevant insurance. It was just that parking spaces were a little difficult to get. There were many people in Tokyo who were forced to move for parking spaces.

I got a brand new mount, and it's time to give it a name. This is probably the oldest one I have, so after much thought, I decided to call it "Mature Pretty Young Woman".

Yin Ze was secretly pleased with his own aesthetics and taste, and prepared to leave with a bag of QQ candy in his pocket.

"Slow down." Kenqi Kyoka appeared.

"What's the matter, agent?" Yin Ze asked.

"I have just taken over, and there are many things I need the help of you, the powerful official," said Kenqi Kyoka.

"What powerful minister? I am a loyal minister!" Yin Ze was surprised and refused to accept the slander.

The two came to their familiar workstations. The position that originally belonged to Kashiwa Ippei was now empty, and the extra monitor was taken by Kenshin Kyouka to be used as a secondary screen. They could work while watching TV series. There were no introverted coworkers around them, and they felt free and happy alone.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Ōnishi Saori are both well-known voice actors, and the former is even more important. It takes time to quickly sort out the business lines, clearly position, and arrange business. Yin Ze had previously taken over Kashiwai's class. He was a regent of the previous dynasty and had some experience. He could give the current agent some advice and guidance.

"This is my classmate Matsuoka, who is a harem male protagonist. This is my junior sister Onishi, who is a childhood sweetheart." Yin Ze smiled and introduced the team fairly and impartially. "I am the most influential voice actor, the four-time champion new actor, the million-fan promoter, and the professional ghost-seeing Wudi Gao..."

"You two are really evenly matched, each with your own unique skills." Jian Qi Jing Xiang interrupted with a smile, "By the way, your career spans three major fields: animation, games, and film and television. The components are too complicated. Even if I want to intervene, I can't be as precise as you. So I have thought about it. You can do your things. I have a lot of things to do. I want to focus my energy on other people."

"I can do it myself?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"Yeah, do you think I should give you strict rules for a person like you?" Kenqi Kyoka asked back.

"Then the agent's job is easy." Yin Ze said.

"That's right." Jian Qi Jing Xiang laughed, and then said seriously, "I get sick a lot during the flu season, so you should be diligent."

"..."

There is something in this.

Yin Ze tasted a little bit of the flavor when he chewed it.

It turns out that Brother Bai Jing is a fifth-level strong man, with a Shura heart still in his heart, unwilling to be sidelined, and still determined to grasp power after several setbacks. Sister Jianqi specializes in the fourth level, and she started directly, and even hinted that she could abdicate.

You two complement each other perfectly!

The hungry ghost realm is not scary. The scariest thing is the hungry ghost realm that stops eating after being full. If you have no desires, you will be invincible.

The main goal is to make the pie bigger without any worries.

As they are both at the fourth level for many years, Master Yin has met a master this time.

"Your Kamen Rider filming has entered the final stage. What are you going to do next?" Kenki Kyoka asked a little seriously.

"I think I should voice a few more animation protagonists and try to win the Best Voice Actor Award next time." Yin Ze answered truthfully.

"That's right, what about film and television dramas?" Kenqi Kyoka continued to ask.

"There is no plan for this at the moment." Yin Ze spread his hands.

"Hey, Kashiwa Jing, although I'm a retired artist from the mainstream entertainment industry, I'm not as good as him in terms of connections. I'm almost two levels behind him, so I may not be able to find a good opportunity for you." Kenki Kyoka thought, "To be frank, the business I'm familiar with is actually the music and idol fields... Otherwise, you can open up a new track and become a singer. Set a small goal first, to be on the Red and White Show."

"No, no, I became an actor by coincidence. I have no interest in singing and dancing." Yin Ze also said, "Just pay attention to the better anime starring roles, don't worry about other things. Especially don't feel pressured, feeling that if I don't develop, I'm letting down Brother Kashiwai or something."

"Let him down? Who would think so?" Kenki Kyoka frowned.

"I don't know, I just said it casually." Yin Ze laughed and let it go.

"Your automation is genuine." Jian Qi Jing Xiang sighed, "But there is one thing I want to emphasize. You must tell me about all the commercial projects you accept. I want to go over the contract and check the terms to avoid you getting hurt."

"Ok."

"The season of Kamen Rider you're filming was signed when Kashiwai was in office, so there should be no problem."

"The second season may be renewed, you can take a look at it then." Yin Ze said.

"Continuation?" Jian Qi Jing Xiang tilted her head, "Wasn't it already signed for the first season?"

This kind of traditional series often has dozens of episodes, and the main series is a stable annual series. As long as it is popular enough and can make money, it is not surprising to rehash old stories, release more spin-offs, dramas, and crossovers. It is hard to say if it is too far away, but for something like the second season, it is normal for them to mention it. How can you only sign the head but not the tail? If you don't want to act in the second season, won't they be at a loss?

"The second season will be signed soon, I'll give it to you then." Yin Ze said.

"Okay." Jianqi Jingxiang said, "You go and do your thing. By the way, leave the QQ candies in your bag to me so I don't have to go to the snack section to get them."

"..."

There is no way to break the spell of those who practice the same set of skills.

Yin Ze went home and took the Accord for a full-body checkup. Considering that it could not be done in one day, he decided to rest it first and come back to pick it up two days later. After taking the bus home, he went to the landlord to ask for a parking space. All these added up to a lot of money. It's really strange. Obviously, the consumption is so high, and the economy should be flowing, but why is it that when it comes to earning money, it feels like a blocked toilet, with dry stool and difficulty in flowing? It's really an unsolved urban mystery.

I lost money today, so of course I chose to go upstairs and have a free dinner to stop the loss.

A few days later, Amazon's filming came to an end.

After a season of fighting and trials, the originally innocent protagonist finally shed his childishness. Although he cannot be said to enjoy fighting, he has become somewhat ruthless when he does fight.

Rough waves washed over the beach.

Wearing a dirty old coat, with half of his face nearly burned, Yingshan Ren limped over, holding a belt in one hand and holding an indescribable black ball-like object in the other. He turned towards the direction of the sand slope and showed a sunny and healthy smile full of incongruity, "Hey, everyone from the Extermination Squad, you're still as scarred as ever."

"I don't want to be told that by you." The member of the expulsion squad wearing tactical gear responded.

"Haha." Yingshan Ren's smile gradually disappeared, and he asked himself in a low voice, "So, how many should we kill today?"

"You're so difficult, Brother Ren." Mizusawa You slowly stood in the other person's way. There was no more innocence and romance on his face as at the beginning, as if he had matured a lot.

"I won't be able to rest in peace unless I kill all of you." Yingshan Ren said with a bright and cheerful smile.

"Me too." Shui Zeyou took a deep breath, "As long as you haven't given up hunting, I can't live in peace."

"You kid... have become much more eloquent." Yingshan Ren's eyes revealed murderous intent. He picked up the ball of thread in his hand and began to chew it directly. His mouth was full of roots and stems, juice was flowing, and his appetite was whetted.

"Could that be the heart of the Amazon he killed earlier?" The members of the Expulsion Squad's faces changed.

"What's wrong with eating something you killed yourself?" Ying Shanren grinned and ate with a slurping sound. No one else knew what the food tasted like.

Mizusawa You watched this scene, his eyes moved slightly, his face turned dark, anger was rising, and his palm slowly stroked the handle of the driver.

Yingshan Ren ate half of it and threw away the heart as if it was a waste of food, and put on the belt in the same way.

"A, ma, zon!" Mizusawa Yu roared, each syllable higher and higher.

"A, ma, zon!" Yingshan Renye shouted loudly, and the blood vessels and tendons that he had not swallowed yet splashed out of his mouth.

The two men rushed forward at the same time.

"Cut!" Shi Zhangxiu and Fan Zhensheng said.

The two men rushed a few steps and then stopped. They were fighting to the death just now, but suddenly they started to smile and patted each other on the shoulders.

"What material is the heart made of?" Yin Ze's attention was attracted by the edible prop.

"To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference. I asked the prop crew, but they didn't tell me. They just asked if I wanted soy sauce or sweet flavor, and then they just stood there and laughed. It was obvious that they were teasing me on purpose." Taniguchi Kenji was still munching on the food, savoring it. "It was icy and sticky, and I felt like the base was some kind of noodle-like ingredient. The heart-shaped filling on the outside was probably the bread crust, and I seemed to taste a little bit of jam."

"Is it so rich?" Yin Ze became more curious, his eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help licking his lips.

"For my taste, there is still room for improvement," commented Kenji Taniguchi.

"Hmm..." Yin Ze felt a little regretful. As the protagonist, his camp was to protect Amazon, so it seemed that he would not have the chance to enjoy this heart-warming snack.

"Action team, get ready. This is the last action scene of this season. Please be alert and try your best!" Shi Zhangxiufan said with a megaphone. The action actors were warming up in their suits, ready to go.

Master Yin had nothing to do at this moment. As usual, he was strolling outside the venue, watching the show and admiring the river of blood.

When fighting on the beach, the leather suits get wet and become heavier, and the water will flow in through the seams. The gloves and shoe covers will also accumulate water, which will become heavier and heavier, and the fight will naturally become more and more tiring. Anyway, several scenes were rejected by the action director, and we had to re-rehearse and re-shoot repeatedly.

"If you are bored, you can come to my RV and watch TV," said Shinkuro Shirakura.

"Everyone is working hard, but the producer took a break from his busy schedule and even drove an RV here to play..." Yin Ze frowned.

"This is not something you can say. Don't get me wrong. This is a rental car. I mainly want to use it as a nanny car. Location shooting is hard and some of us have to go to very remote places. It would be very convenient to have a comfortable place like this with air conditioning and a nap." Shinkuro Shirakura explained.

"There are such big-name actors in our crew? How come I didn't know about this after filming 12 episodes?" Yin Ze was surprised. Could it be that a big shot will make a guest appearance in the last episode?

"..." Shirakura Shinkyuro.

"I want to ask, how is that heart-shaped edible prop made?" Yin Ze was very curious.

"Haha, although the appearance is a bit creepy, it looks like a lot of unhealthy additives have been added. But please rest assured, since this is going to be eaten by the actors, the food safety must be passed. We at Toei will never joke about the actors' bodies. When we are filming, safety is always the first priority. Props such as wires have strict inspection standards, and the crew has emergency plans. Action actors who are injured during filming will be checked. If the injury is serious, they will be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, and appropriate medical expenses will be compensated according to the prior contract." Shirakura Shinkuro patted his chest to make the assurance.

Yin Ze still respected the producer. He treated him well and answered all his questions. But he really didn't understand why the producer always spoke to him in an official tone and was not sincere at all. Alas, he was the boss after all, the boss of the Kamen Rider series, and he was just a small actor. How could he really have a heart-to-heart with him?

It's good enough that the other party has been giving me face. What else do I want?

"I want to taste the heart..." Yin Ze asked with courage, "I wonder if I can?"

"Of course, no problem. I'll go with you and we'll check together." Shirakura Shinkuro readily agreed. "In the drama, they also eat raw eggs. In fact, those eggs are all high-quality sterile eggs. You can see how much we've polished the details."

Since we were led by the producer, we didn't even need to say hello and were given the green light to enter the prop team's tent. We opened the small refrigerator and took out the hearts wrapped in plastic bags, one for each person.

"It's not obvious through the screen, but if you hold it in your hand, you can see that the outer layer is bread crust, and the inside is mung bean powder. Add some sauce, and it tastes good." Shirakura Shinkuro showed the masterpiece of the props team, "The mung bean powder is cut into shreds and put in, the appearance and taste will be better."

"I'm good with a knife, let me do it." Yin Ze cut the solidified mung bean powder into shreds, put it into a round shell, and added some seasonings. With skillful techniques, a bowl of minimalist jelly soon appeared. Taking a bite, it was really appetizing and refreshing, sour and sweet, oily but not greasy, and full of juice.

"I'll go get some tissues." Shirakura Shinkuro squatted down next to the cardboard box and rummaged through it.

Yin Ze was only concerned with feasting his food, enjoying it with gusto, clicking his tongue, and even feeling a sense of psychological excitement.

Yes, this is the common origin of our enemies, this is the sadness of monsters, and my understanding of masks has deepened.

While stealing food.

The prop master suddenly opened the tent, walked in, and was stunned.

The male lead heard the noise and turned around as cleverly as a mouse. He hunched over timidly, and it was hard to tell whether the marks on his face were stage makeup or real wounds and scratches. He held a heart in his two hands, and his mouth was full of dark red sticky liquid. A root that had not been torn off was sliding down from the corner of his mouth.

Those two eyes were glowing green, like a carnivore that had been lurking for a long time, finally cutting open its prey and digging out its heart and lungs to enjoy the delicious food. The eyes were radiating a certain kind of satisfied and fascinating light, evil and joyful.

The producer's entire upper body was buried in the cardboard box, and he was still struggling and trembling.

"Master, you are here too?" The male lead was caught and even smiled a devilish smile as he spoke.

“Ahhhhh——!” The prop master couldn’t help but think of the darkness awakening in the Ultimate Black Eyes, and he couldn’t help but shout out in shock and fear.

"Oh oh?!" Shirakura Shinkuro was looking for something and didn't notice anyone coming in. Suddenly, someone yelled loudly, which scared him.

“?” Yin Ze.

A few minutes later.

They sat down outside the tent.
