Tokyo Sound

It turned out that Kashiwa-kun's prediction was very accurate. The three voice actors of the group were more powerful than each other in the later performances.

Now it was the game party's turn to be dumbfounded. The chief planner was kicked out on the spot. He regretted it for several years and was so depressed that he was covered with lichen.

After finishing their work, the trio went to a pub to eat together.

"Draw a card." Yin Ze took out a stack of cards.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Shimazaki Nobunaga were no longer surprised that this man carried cards with him, and they each drew one skillfully.

"They are all 9, but black, red, and plum are square." Yin Ze put the playing cards away.

"I'm so unlucky." Shimazaki Nobunaga curled his lips, picked up the menu, called the waiter, and ordered.

"Kashiwai-san is really amazing. I miss him again." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu picked up the beer and sighed, "I wonder what he is doing now that he has returned to his hometown."

"I guess he's farming." Yin Ze said casually.

"I want to find some time to meet him," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Why doesn't he come to Tokyo to see me?" Yin Ze snorted. When fighting with a hound, he never gives up easily.

"What do you think of The Idol King 2?" Shimazaki Nobunaga asked while peeling peanuts.

"...Actually, I kind of wanted to take it." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was silent for two seconds. "After all, it was the first character with a name that I got. And, it was also there that I met Nobunaga. I always wanted a happy ending."

"Ah, I remember you. When you heard about the live concert, you were so nervous." Shimazaki Nobunaga laughed, "You kept talking about rehearsals every day, and even learned how to do a backflip."

"In your current state, can you still turn over?" Yin Ze hesitated and tore open the wound.

"I'm strong, not fat." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu stomped the bottom of the cup on the table to emphasize.

“Life is so short. If you want a good ending, just do it.” Yin Ze looked at the ice cubes floating in the beer glass.

"Establishing a group and performing is something that sounds very youthful, but we should do it as early as possible." Shimazaki Nobunaga said, "It seems that when we brothers grow old, we will have more memories."

"Then let's get started." Yin Ze waved his hand proudly.

"One game is enough." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said happily, then frowned with a serious expression.

"Why do you suddenly look constipated?" Shimazaki Nobunaga wondered.

"I, I'm starting to get nervous now." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said seriously.

"...I can't even imagine what you'll be like at your wedding." Yin Ze said.

Chapter 70: Playing Tricks

The so-called "learning by doing nothing" is the art of getting paid while doing nothing in the workplace.

Japan's seniority system is a wonderful environment for the hungry ghosts who understand that they will not eat until they are full. Subordinates are not allowed to talk back to their superiors. If the seniors say they cannot hear, they cannot hear. Abandoning laning and development, you can improve by listening to experience. A simple life is the truth.

"You think I said these words." Yin Ze's expression was dull, "Actually, these words are what she thought in her heart."

"She? Who is she?" asked Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"The second-generation agent." Yin Ze raised his hand and pointed at the OL lady in black stockings.

There are two monitors at Jianqi Jingxiang's workstation, one for viewing document data, and the other one is always playing TV series. There is also an independent page for Amazon. Don't get me wrong, it's not that she likes it, it's just that her leader found out. It can be said that he is reviewing the artist's performance.

As a former entertainment industry figure who followed Kashiwa Ippei to IM, President Masao Eda also has high hopes for her. But compared to Kashiwa Ippei's whimsy, Jianqi is too steady. In fact, the two of them get about the same salary.

"With great power comes great responsibility. You are so powerful, why don't you let me hide in the giant's shadow to block the sun?" Jianqi Jingxiang said sadly, "It is said that Matsuoka-kun is a gentle person, why don't you share some of your gentleness with me?"

"Oh, this, I have no doubt about your meaning." When facing the opposite sex, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's thinking consumption is automatically increased by 20%.

"Matsuoka-kun is really responsible. When you get married, I will definitely be a good father in your daughter's eyes."

Kenqi Kyoka tells the story slowly and weaves the picture with words.

"When she lies on your shoulder, her chubby hands grab your face, and she cries for you to read picture books to her, while your virtuous wife cooks in the kitchen, casting loving glances at you - home is about understanding, devotion, longing, care, holiness, tolerance, acceptance, harmony, adjustment, appreciation, loyalty, communication, mutual understanding, romance, twists and turns, life and death, and dependence on each other at the ends of the earth."

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu couldn't help but be moved by these words. Just a little imagination made him feel happy.

"In order to protect their smiles, Matsuoka-kun, work harder and earn a bigger house." Kenqi Kyoka encouraged strongly.

"I'll try my best." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu clenched his fist.

"I have already planned the new dubbing schedule, so don't be late." said Kenki Kyoka.

"Of course." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded, full of motivation, and turned to leave.

"...Where are you going?" Yin Ze stopped this pure love god of war in time.

"Yes, the matter hasn't been mentioned yet." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu suddenly realized and woke up.

"We have some issues to discuss with our agent," Yin Ze said calmly.

"As expected of you, the leader of the Kashiwai clique. You're really responsible. I hope you'll start a family in the future..." Kenqi Kyoka just started.

"Don't use such mediocre pancake skills in front of me." Yin Ze waved his hands and didn't even want to open the spell shield.

"A man with a heart of stone can be very charming." Kenki Kyoka remained appreciative, turned her chair, faced them, and accepted their advice. "So what do you want?"

"The animation of Idol King Side M is about to be released. I guess there are some emails in your mailbox." Yin Ze asked.

"Indeed, but I haven't taken care of it yet." Jian Qi Jing Xiang said, "This project is naturally a long-term meal ticket, but the cost-effectiveness is a bit low for you at this stage. There were some rhythms before, so I passed it."

"It's been so long, it's time for it to come to an end. This was the first great gift that Brother Kashiwa gave us back then." Yin Ze also sighed, "I also want my voice actor resume to have a beginning and an end."

"I see." Kenki Kyoka could understand, "But to be honest... I personally don't think this project will go smoothly. Side M will run into problems sooner or later. I don't support long-term activities. OK, why not take this opportunity to clear the contract that Kashiwai has blocked for you? Come on, come on, go on."

"That's good enough," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Isn't there another person in your group?" asked Kenqi Kyoka.

"We have already discussed this with Nobunaga," replied Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"OK, I'll reply then." Jian Qi Jing Xiang nodded, "They will definitely agree, and they will definitely request to return to mobile games and performing activities. I will negotiate about this, and we will talk about how many songs to release and how many stages to perform. After fulfilling these, your old popsicle band will graduate."

"Another knot in my heart needs to be let go." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sighed.

"Do you have a lot of things that you can't let go of?" Yin Ze was curious.

"Life is a long journey, and worries are endless." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sighed like a poet like Shimazaki Nobunaga's brother.

"Come to think of it, that contract was blocked by Brother Kashiwa Jing himself. Is there anything you don't understand?" Yin Ze asked.

"Do you doubt my ability? Do you question whether I am inferior to him?" Kenqi Kyoka narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, it's not that I don't believe you." Yin Ze said quickly, "It's just that for this matter, wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask the person himself?"

"...Hehe, the leader is really good. It turns out he has a hidden trick up his sleeve."

Kenqi Kyoka reacted quickly and blinked in understanding.

"Well, since that's what you've said, for your sake and to be cautious, I'm going to bother the retired people and discuss business matters."

"Great, great." Yin Ze clasped his hands together and said, "I'll leave it to you then."

"Go ahead, leave this matter to me." Kenqi Kyoka waved her hand to send him away.

"What hand are you hiding?" Only Matsuoka Yoshitsugu didn't understand.

"You don't need to make things so clear about the first and second generations." Yin Ze put his arm around Matsuoka's shoulders and walked towards the snack area.

Kenqi Kyoka watched them slip away, supporting her cheek with her hands and sighing softly.

Young people still have more tricks.

……

The setting sun, the old trees, the vague shadows of dreams, everything is still the same as before. The old mountains are faintly visible, the lights of the town are just like the barking of dogs at dusk, and the green courtyard. The fields are covered with large and small patches of new green, some thick, some light, and the water in the fish pond is bubbling. All of this makes people think of one thing - life.

Kashiwa Ippei stood up with the help of a hoe, raised his sun hat to catch his breath, and wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging on his shoulders.

My father is getting older, and there is no one to take care of the land in my hometown. It’s a pity to let it sit there. I might as well grow some vegetables. I have been sitting in the office for many years, and I can’t adapt to the pace of farming all of a sudden. My back and waist are sore. But it doesn’t matter, I can just treat it as exercise.

After spreading the water, Kashiwa Ippei walked back carrying his hoe.

There were a few old people chatting on the side of the road.

"Aping, are you here to work again today?" The old woman's eyes turned into a pair of crescents when she smiled.

"Yes." Kashiwa Ippei responded.

"Take these vegetables back with you on the way. They've just been harvested." The old woman said as she carried the basket.

"I haven't finished the food I received last time, so how can I take it again?" Kashiwai Ippei said quickly.

"Oh, you little guy is being polite. You don't have much money, why are you pushing it away?" The old woman said, "Just think of it as a reward for your help at the town committee."

"I'll go to the town committee, and when I come back I'll collect chickens and ducks, plus the food for you for the next two days. I'll arrange food for my family for a week." Kashiwa Ippei laughed.

"You are a young man with a quick mind. We spent a long time negotiating with them, but you went up and picked up the microphone and communicated in half an hour." The old lady praised, "You spoke very clearly and cited various clauses and regulations. You are just like the cadres on TV."

"The guy from the neighboring town was in the wrong to begin with. I just happened to have some knowledge of contract law, so I just tried to scare him." Kashiwa Ippei said casually.

"There will be a sacrifice in a few months, you must come and take a look. Those old guys have rusty brains and can't even figure out what materials to use." The old woman thought, "Haha, you used to be naughty, but now you are organized and have more temperament than the old president."

"A Ping is back from Tokyo, so how can he not have some skills?" said another old woman. "Oh, right, your mother asked me to help you find a blind date."

"What? When did it happen?" Kashiwa Ippei was stunned.

"The month you came back. Seriously, what do you want? I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Ah, this. I'm not in a hurry... But it's okay. I don't have any standards. I'm just an ordinary person. It's fine as long as the age is similar." Kashiwa Ippei said, "As for hobbies and family conditions, let me meet the other party in person and we can talk about it ourselves. If we are compatible, then we can try to be together."

"Okay, we'll take care of it." The old ladies said responsibly.

"A Ping is also a handsome man. He will definitely find a good family."

"Thank you in advance then."

Kashiwai Ippei picked up the food, said goodbye to his elders, and walked home.

Halfway through the walk, I stopped by a stream to wash my face and cool off.

"A Ping, come and fish with me." The older angler who was fully equipped said loudly, "I will definitely not leave the bucket empty today."

"Not today, but definitely next time."

Fishing along the stream, the mountain scenery, the bridge shadows, the spring breeze and the spring day are all in the stream. People, the stream and the fish are all as lively.

The days are a cycle of calm, but the ripples spread slowly like tree rings.

My hometown is still anemic, but it is still rich. Like a field, it looks like a piece of green at first glance, but in fact, every rice seedling grows differently.

"I'm back." Kashiwai Ippei opened the door.

"You may have forgotten to bring your cell phone today." My father was sitting in the living room with a cigarette in his hand and a baseball game was playing on TV.

"Well, I'm already out, and I'm too lazy to come back to get it." Kashiwa Ippei took off his shoes and gloves. He was no longer in Tokyo, and not having a cell phone with him would not affect his life at all. "Where's my cell phone? Where did you put it?"

"Your mother has it. A friend in Tokyo called you, and you were outside, so she answered the phone for you." My father shook off the ashes from his cigarette.

"Calling me? I have to call back." Kashiwa Ippei said. Nowadays in Tokyo, there are not many people who will take the initiative to contact retired people like him, basically only those few people.

"Not yet." The father tilted his head and said meaningfully, "Your mother is still chatting with the other party."

"Chat? What can she talk about?" Kashiwai Ippei was very surprised.

"Anyway, she's very excited. It's been almost half an hour." The father shook off the ash from his cigarette. "From the sound of her voice, it should be a girl."

"How do you know? Did you chat about it too?"

"I was just quietly beside you - what does it have to do with you? Now that you're back, go and reply to others!"

Kashiwa Ippei was pushed out of the living room without even pouring a glass of water. He was speechless. He went to the kitchen and found his mother, who had just stopped washing rice and was sitting at the dining table, happily chatting on her phone.

"There is such a thing. I am really grateful for your care. Thanks to having a friend like you... Hey, he's back. Let you guys talk about it." The mother was delighted to see her son return. She quickly handed him the phone. "It's your friend in Tokyo. Have a good chat with him."

"Hello?" Kashiwa Ippei glanced at the screen. Wow, the current call time is 32 minutes!

"Tsk tsk, such a nostalgic voice." said Kenqi Kyoka.

"Oh, it's you." Kashiwa Ippei walked to the refrigerator, took out oolong tea and drank it to quench his thirst. "What happened? Did Matsuoka cause another accident on the show? Or did Onishi lose motivation? Oh, it can't be that the beast resigned and ran away, right?"

"None of these things happened. On the contrary, the factions were very harmonious and thriving," said Kenki Kyoka.

"Didn't you have a fight with that guy?" Kashiwa Ippei frowned.

"Who? You mean the parasite who hangs out in the snack area every day? No, my communication with him is very efficient and smooth." Kenki Kyoka said without exaggeration.

There is none! Why? Kashiwa Ippei put the oolong tea on the kitchen counter, and suddenly felt a little unbalanced.

"He is also very polite and reports the progress of each project to me in person." Kenqi Kyoka added.
