Tokyo Sound

"Just ask."

"Will this upset the sound director?" Uchida Maaya shook her head. "Others are busy anyway, and you're still pestering them, asking some perhaps stupid questions, which will deduct points from their impression."

"In fact, it's quite the opposite. Many newcomers who have just entered the industry will just work hard, but after spending a lot of time, the results they submit are not good at all. When asked why, they will say that their level is really not good enough. If they are asked why they don't ask experienced veterans for help if it is difficult to complete, they will say that they are afraid of disturbing other busy employees."

Yin Ze sighed deeply.

"But the result of this thoughtful consideration is that the veteran has to clean up the mess, the product has to be redone, and the ability test shows that it does not meet the standards. You have to bear all the blame. If this process happens several times, you will be persuaded to quit. If you don't understand, ask the supervisor and team leader. Even if the product is not made in the end, they have to take some responsibility."

"It seems so cumbersome like this." Uchida Maaya said weakly.

"You just killed them all at once, and Party A was so amazed that he clapped his hands and burst into tears. Can you still call him a newcomer?" Yin Ze snorted. "Besides, this can also increase your presence. Being included in the eyes of the seniors is better than being unknown, right?"

"What if I'm disliked? What if I'm told to handle this kind of thing myself?"

"The mountains are high and the road is long, see you next time. Change jobs, but this time you can write a sentence about having 'work experience' on your resume." Yin Ze concluded proudly.

“This is totally impossible!”

"No, this is all based on experience."

"Takizawa-kun, you must have never joined a club." Uchida Maaya became serious.

"Why do you mention this?"

"The juniors who have just joined the group can only do simple work. If it is a sports club that can participate in national competitions, the competition is even more intense. If you don't just pick up balls and clean up, but instead think you can join their circle and ask questions, the seniors will definitely impatiently ask you to leave." Uchida Maaya said.

"Campus and workplace are different," said Yin Ze.

"The workplace is even more indifferent. When my father first started working, he also liked to ask others for experience, but he unknowingly was labeled as a 'shirker' and started to have difficulty getting along with his colleagues. Job hopping is not that easy either, as other companies will wonder if you left in a hurry because of your poor abilities." Uchida Maaya said slowly.

"What should we do then?" Yin Ze was silent.

"So I would like to ask for the opinions of people who have experienced this," said Maaya Uchida modestly.

"If you don't understand, ask."

“This has been denied.”

"what is it now?"

“So I just want to know what people who have experienced this think.”

"..."

The closed loop of eternal motion was achieved unknowingly.

"Takizawa-kun, you must understand, there is a monster called 'atmosphere' in this society." Uchida Maaya said in a low voice with self-mockery, "Once you stand on the opposite side of the crowd, even if you may be right, you will be helplessly trapped. Here, the unspoken rule of 'don't cause me trouble' is emphasized. It seems that the etiquette of respect and inferiority is very reasonable, but it is extremely cold and indifferent."

The Far East island country has its own national conditions.

"So, seeing that Takizawa-kun has now escaped from the quagmire of 'atmosphere'," Uchida Maaya smiled lightly, her eyes clear, "I feel very happy from the bottom of my heart."

It seems that there is a warm thread between 'me' and her... the boy thought.

"Would you like something to drink?" Yin Ze asked in a gentlemanly manner, "I'll buy it for you."

"Let's go together." Seeing this, Uchida Maaya also stood up with a smile.

There are countless small shops in the amusement park, and the closest one is naturally the one selling cotton candy.

But what was surprising was that the greedy little girl still stayed where she was just now.

Good man, is he trying to deliberately use his innocence and cuteness to lure kind passersby?

Women in Tokyo are so scary!

Yin Ze walked over tentatively, "Little sister, why don't you go play with the adults?"

The lonely little girl still held the licked clean wooden stick in her hand, looked up, her eyes quickly reddened, and tears fell straight down. Yin Ze raised his hands and stepped back, indicating that he did nothing.

"Oh, are you hurt anywhere?" Uchida Maaya squatted down to check with concern.

The little girl pouted and tugged at Uchida Maaya's sleeve, crying, "Wow, Mommy!"

"What! It's your child?!" Yin Ze was shocked.

"No, it's not." Uchida Maaya said unhappily.

"The pronunciation of the terms 'mom and dad' is very similar in every country, so you can't go wrong." Yin Ze sighed, "I didn't expect that you, Uchida, are already a mother at such a young age. It's really not easy."

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't even have a boyfriend."

"What...you are a single mother? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your sadness." Yin Ze lowered his head in shame.

Before Uchida Maaya could refute, the little girl turned her head and said again, "Wow, daddy!"

It was Uchida Maaya's turn to hold the little girl and look at her with a frown and a suspicious look.

"How can you insult my innocence and destroy my chastity without any evidence?" Yin Ze's eyes widened.

"...Did she get separated from her parents?" Uchida Maaya didn't lose her focus like anyone else. She thought for a moment, wiped the little girl's tears with her sleeve, and asked gently.

"Yeah." The little girl nodded sullenly.

"Sister will take you to find it, okay?" Uchida Maaya pinched the little girl's cheek and smiled, "What's your name?"

"Saki." The little one said softly.

"Take him to the staff and use a large broadcast to remind his parents to come pick him up," Yin Ze suggested.

"Come on, let's go find it."

A few minutes later, the carefree Saki-chan pulled Uchida Maaya's sleeve with her left hand, held Yin Ze's hand with her right hand, and followed her closely, occasionally swinging on her feet off the ground.

As a man who likes to try new things, he is particularly interested in dishes and drinks that he has never eaten before. For example, this cup of beer puree roasted barley hot tea is quite creative. The liquid in the cup is turbid and flowing, like a magic wine that leads mortals to hell. After taking a sip, all kinds of flavors come to mind.

As for the lemon tea, which is a common drink on the street, Uchida Maaya couldn't help but glance sideways at the non-mainstream hot drink in the boy's hand, "I always feel that you have become much bolder in some aspects..."

"Are you talking about my taste?" Yin Ze asked.

"In the past, Takizawa-kun was a nostalgic and simple 'mineral water' person."

"I see, you are a minimalist. But after all, you have come to this world, and it would be a shame if you don't experience some luxury. Little do you know that there is a saying among great monks and sages that they should experience the worldly life. If you want to be uninterested in money, the poor can only talk about it, but the truly rich will treat it as dirt."

"Boys' extravagance? For example, red-light districts? Nightclubs? Bars and dance halls?" Uchida Maaya said this, and looked the man up and down carefully as if she wanted to get to know him again. "Is Takizawa-kun already training?"

"No, I'm not interested in interacting with women." Yin Ze said politely.

"When did you change your orientation...?"

"I spoke out of turn. I think you are not interested in love."

"But have the desires been vented in those places of entertainment?" Uchida Maaya said cautiously.

But I didn't expect the answer to be so sonorous and powerful, as solid and intense as hot iron.

"Of course! I'm already a legal adult, how can I not enjoy adult fun! When night falls, I will walk through the long streets full of lights and wine, and step into the noisy place where hormones collide. I will no longer be able to bear to take off my etiquette and hypocrisy, and just want to release all the boredom accumulated in daily life!" Yin Ze clenched his fists and shook his voice, his eyes shining.

"Every, every night?" Uchida Maaya was a little unbelievable.

"Not every night, maybe several times a week." The man scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Your body won't be able to handle this... shouldn't you exercise more self-control?" Uchida Maaya couldn't help but whisper.

"You should do this while you are young! Once you are old, you will regret that your life was too dull and you don't have any exciting memories. By then it will be too late." Yin Ze thought about it and happily invited, "Uchida, do you want to try it? I will take you next time. It's very exciting!"

"No, no, no, this is too inappropriate! You, you really should stop it!" The girl's face turned red and her words stuttered.

"The main reason is that I have memberships in four stores, and it would be a shame if I don't make good use of them," said Yin Ze.

"Four families?!" Uchida Maaya was shocked.

"It's very cost-effective. There are all kinds of activities. If you get tired of playing alone, you can just invite a stranger to play with you." Yin Ze promoted the game like a sales manager.

"Male or female?" Uchida Maaya asked subconsciously.

"Look at what you said, of course it's all right. We are all talkative, extroverted and open-minded." Yin Ze answered happily.

How shameless!

The girl's neck turned red with embarrassment and she gasped.

It turns out that human hearts are so easily corrupted and degraded. Once they sink into depravity, they can never go back. A closer look reveals that they are uninhibited in their gestures and their eyes are no longer timid. This means that they have become tougher at best, and at worst, their innocence has been worn away by weathering.

Uchida Maaya suddenly felt a little sad.

"What are you talking about?" Saki-chan blinked and tried to look up.

"This is a topic for adults." Yin Ze pretended to be mysterious, then smiled brightly, "But it's not that I can't tell you..."

"Ah? What on earth is that?"

"Takizawa-kun! How can you say these things to a child!" Uchida Maaya looked unhappy and a little angry.

"It's a game." Yin Ze said the result.

"?" Saki.

“?” Uchida Maaya.

"In the colorful arcade, with like-minded passers-by players, you can happily wander in the magnificent world of the ninth art! The confrontation of reflex nerves, the game of milliseconds, the test of willpower, and the sweat of menopause! It's simply incomparable!"

Yin Ze’s passion was about to overflow, like a king dancing with a sword, slashing away at the clouds.

"In the electronic virtual world, which boy has not fought all night to overcome the most difficult levels, defeat the devil, save the princess and the world? This is an indispensable part of youth and also the sustenance of our romance!"

"Are you really not going to play? There are also fun games that don't require any skills, right?" Yin Ze hasn't given up on the invitation.

"Do you go to the video game arcade every week night?" Maaya Uchida stopped and asked.

"correct."

"A member of four stores?"

"It's about to expire, but it can be extended if you bring three new customers every month. I've already brought two people. Uchida, if you're willing to go, I can earn next month's membership for free... There are discounts for new customers, don't you really want to try it?" Yin Ze rubbed his hands snobbishly.

Uchida Maaya was silent for a moment, held her forehead with her hand, and then took a few quick steps.

Because her left hand lost its sleeve, Saki-chan had to leave the man behind and chase after him clumsily.

"Don't run so fast. It wouldn't be surprising if you, a heartless and greedy kid like you, fell to the ground." Yin Ze hurried forward.

Pretty girl with a blushing face.

The silly and cute little girl following behind.

And the cheerful boy chasing after the two people.

This scene is just like a daily scene where a wife is sulking after a mistake, the daughter follows her mother, and the old father apologizes. Then the old father finally catches up, and the three of them play harmoniously, which is also very normal.

This is not uncommon in children's amusement parks.

"Eh? Takizawa?"

Someone had been watching his best friend riding a horse with a little girl for a few minutes, and he couldn't help but scream out.

The "family of three" turned around and looked.

It was the extremely confused Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"hehe."

And Sakura-san, who is holding her hands and smiling indifferently.

Chapter 41: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

"I'm sorry to bother you all. Thank you very much."

At the ticket office at the entrance of the amusement park, an ordinary middle-aged couple was holding hands with their child who had been lost in the crowd and was finally found. The couple kept thanking the couple and kept bowing.

"I can't accept such a big gift. It's just a small matter, just a small favor. Please pay more attention next time." Yin Ze and Uchida Maaya stood shoulder to shoulder and waved their hands humbly in response.

"Saki, you should also tell your kind-hearted brothers and sisters." The mother stroked the little one's hair.

"Brother and sister, you are good people, thank you, goodbye." The little girl opened her big watery eyes.

She is only a few years old, but she can already use this standard "goddess" style of speech. I wonder how many innocent boys' hearts she will break and play with in the future. After all, she is a woman who grew up in a big city. Alas.

Soon, Saki-chan was riding on her real father's shoulders.

After watching the real family of three waving goodbye and walking away, the four new members of the same society who had successfully reunited stood there looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you in person. I was still wondering whether I should send you a message using the chat tool?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu spoke first with a smile.

"Did you meet Sakura-san halfway?" Yin Ze asked curiously.
