Tokyo Sound

Wash the clothes, mop the floor, take off the keycaps of the keyboard and clean them thoroughly.

In the leisurely afternoon, Yin Ze leaned against the window, unfolded his chair, and read with his feet crossed. It was really nice to have a nap at leisure, and to eat some light food to forget one's worries.

"Don't tell me forever~forever~forever~彂? Forever is too expensive a promise~?"

The phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Yin Ze glanced at the caller ID and casually picked up the phone with one hand.

"Senior! Something bad has happened!" Saori Ohnishi's anxious voice came out.

"Hey, don't be anxious. Listen to me. Don't panic when something happens." Yin Zexin turned the pages of the book and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Being able to judge the priorities and being busy without being chaotic is a state of mind."

"Okay." Saori Ōnishi paused and replied.

"What's the matter? Tell me slowly." Yin Ze picked up the water.

"The agent ran away." Ōnishi Saori remained calm and condensed it into a few words.

"Cough, cough, cough——!" Yin Ze was choked by the water, his hands trembled, and half of his chest and the pages of the book were wet.

"Are you okay?" Saori Ōnishi asked hurriedly.

"When did it happen?" Yin Ze tried to stop coughing.

"I was just surprised to hear about it when I went to the office just now," said Saori Ōnishi.

"I'm coming." Yin Ze jumped up from the chair, put on his clothes and shoes, and went out in one go.

I have been riding this route to and from get off work for so long that I am very familiar with it and soon arrived at the office.

Eh? Am I dazzled?

Why is the president sitting on the sofa in the snack area where I like to sit the most?

Yin Ze glanced sideways frequently.

Masao Eda was seen hunched over on the cushion, holding a half-bottle of AD calcium milk in his hand, and exuding an aura of emptiness, confusion, frustration, and desolation. He looked like a frustrated person who had lost his job due to being framed at the company, suffered a tragic defeat in his all-in-one bargain hunting, and his rented house was taken back by the landlord, and his luggage was left on the street. At 2 a.m., he had nowhere to go and could only carry a half-bottle of white wine, which made him drunk and sat drunk in the cold wind on the street, feeling more miserable than dying.

Yin Ze took a few steps closer and vaguely heard some dying whispers.

"Forty-nine years are just a dream, a period of glory and a glass of wine. I don't know whether I live or die, the years are just like a dream..."

Yin Ze stopped immediately and moved his feet back a little.

The president doesn't look very normal, so it's better not to get close to him.

Walk quickly towards the clerical area.

"Senior." Saori Ōnishi greeted.

"So clean?" Yin Ze was stunned when he saw the computer desk. The surface was clean, as if no one had ever worked here before, not even a pack of tissues was left. But the handover document displayed on the screen was very clear and well organized, and it was obvious that the plan to run away had been made long ago.

"What should I do?" Ohnishi Saori was also a little confused for a moment, "The agent just disappeared?"

"When she left, she arranged everything very clearly, so it won't affect her." Yin Ze glanced at the document, "At most, she will have trouble adapting psychologically for a while. I'll notify Matsuoka and Ayane later, hold a farewell party, and go through the process."

"Farewell party?" Ōnishi Saori was puzzled. "Resigning... and still need a farewell party?"

"I might know where she's going. If my guess is right, I can still send her off." Yin Ze snorted, "Ah, it looks like I'll have to take over for a while again."

"Oh." Ohnishi Saori had no objection to this. It was not like her predecessor had never acted as an agent before, and the acting was pretty good. She took out her phone and started to contact Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Sakura Ayane.

"I haven't used this computer for a long time." Yin Ze sat down and reached for the mouse to see if the racing game was still there.

Wait? How come that laning document was recently updated?

Could it be that the second generation has been modified?

Yin Ze opened the untitled text document and scrolled directly to the bottom.

"Eight-handed Sword-wielding Spider Great Lord: Mavericks loses here"

Ok?

Master Yin felt as if he had stepped into a trap. He suddenly felt uneasy. He frowned, thinking that things were not simple. He pondered for a few seconds, then quickly returned to the work handover document and began to read it at high speed.

Ten minutes later.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Sakura Ayane rushed over one after another.

"The agent resigned again?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was extremely surprised. "Did he say where he was going to work?"

"No." Saori Ōnishi shook her head.

"Sister Jianqi is gone too?" Sakura Ayane thought about it for a moment, then remembered something and felt relieved all of a sudden.

"Call her quickly! Tell her not to leave yet!" Yin Ze, who was immersed in the document, suddenly spoke.

"She sent me a message on Line, saying that she had checked out." Sakura Ayane's phone dinged at an appropriate time.

"Then go to the station and stop her!" Yin Ze said quickly.

"Well, I know you can't bear to leave Jianqi-san, but just work. Everyone has their own aspirations. A forced melon is not sweet." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu comforted.

"That's right, Sister Jianqi left in a hurry, there must be something important." Sakura Ayane sighed.

"Indeed." said Saori Ōnishi.

"What are you talking about? That lazy person! She has 8 plans with only the outlines written! I have to fill in all the details!" Yin Ze's heart was a little unstable, and he was even falling. In this battle of the hungry ghost realm, he was defeated by a fellow Taoist in a blitzkrieg. It's a pity that someone claimed to be high-end, but he didn't even know that his health bar had reached the killing stage.

"She's already left." Sakura Ayane took another look at the new message.

"..."Yin Ze.

"You're moving so quickly! What are you going to do? You're in such a hurry that you don't even have time to have a meal." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was very surprised.

"It should be a good thing, hehe." Sakura Ayane suddenly smiled. The last message in her phone's chat box was a photo sent by the other party.

That was the perspective of looking out through the carriage. The mountains in the distance stretched out layer by layer to the horizon, and the Tamsui River and the towering electric poles all flashed past the eyes of the passengers leaning against the windows like lightning.

Some people got on the bus, some got off, and it seemed that Kenki Kyoka was the only passenger heading to the terminal.

……

The small town at the foot of the mountain seems to be hidden in the mountain, covered by the sky and draped with clouds, quiet and gentle.

Kashiwa Ippei went to a big supermarket to buy some things, and brought a freshly baked cake to his second aunt on the way. His second aunt insisted on staying for dinner before leaving, but after she declined, when they drove back, the sky was already burning red, lighting up the clouds near the horizon.

Life after retirement is dull and unsustainable; often half a day goes by in a nap.

Life is a cycle, this is true. The parents who were looking forward to their son's return home, seeing that their son now spends all day farming and fishing, and lives a life even more unhealthy than themselves, began to persuade him to move more and interact with young people, and not just think about fishing with his uncle, because he would get nothing after fishing for half a day.

hum.

Kashiwai Ippei also has unique insights.

There must be something wrong with the Air Force’s equipment!

The old fishing rod at home has been used for a long time, and the line is stuck when it is reeled in. This time, I bought new equipment specifically, and I will definitely return with a full load. My uncle seems to really like fishing, so I won’t hide my shortcomings, and will give it my all to take him to experience a high-end game.

Park the car, lift the box, and knock on the door.

"I'm back." Dad opened the door.

"Yeah." Kashiwa Ippei nodded.

"Come in quickly, your mother has prepared delicious food today. She has slaughtered chickens and ducks. It's a very rich meal." said Dad.

"What's going on? Is it your wedding anniversary?" Kashiwa Ippei was surprised to see his old father had a pursed smile on his face, looking very happy.

"You'll know when you come in. I'll take the box." Dad laughed and spoke softly.

Kashiwa Ippei looked confused. But when he walked into the living room and looked outside, he knew why.

At dusk, a woman sat on the floor by the courtyard, looking up at the sky, which was baked into peach-colored thin clouds by the setting sun. The mountains were dark blue, the road was inky black, the lights in the town were lit up one by one, the smoke from cooking turned the sunset red, and the sunset would fade away, and the early moon was like a faint kiss mark.

People make an appointment at dusk, but they are no longer on the path of youth.

When the woman heard the noise, she turned around with amusement and pride.

"Ippei, nice to see you again." Kenqi Kyoka waved.

This scenario is actually not new.

When Kashiwa Ippei changed his job to become a voice actor's agent, suddenly one day, a voice came from across the workstation, saying the same words, in the same tone, and from the same person.

He was surprised at first.

Now he wasn't surprised.

If there is a woman who is so generous and appears so naturally as if by chance, after much thought, it can only be her.

"We met each other several times before, but then we went our separate ways. It seems like our fate was very short." Jian Qi Jing Xiang said with her back to the setting sun, in casual clothes and with her hair loose, "But it doesn't matter. I'll continue it."

This bond is one that I am willing to have.

Chapter 100: Automatic aiming is simply a fantasy

Yin Ze once again took the top position in the Kashiwayi family and became the agent of Koei. He was mentally prepared for the departure of the second generation, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. Just like a table of people are having a meal together, Jian Qi Jingxiang is talking and laughing while chewing halfway, and suddenly throws away the pig's trotter, rushes out, and never comes back. It was this sudden. The severance was so fast that I have never seen it in my life.

Yin Ze underestimated it after all. He thought that the bad relationship between Jianqi Jingxiang and Kashiwa Ippei was washed away by time, showing its old color and coming to an end quietly. Jianqi Jingxiang's ordinary behavior at the station that day was also a manifestation of relief. Between people, the past always becomes regretful, so he quietly hinted and helped. But in fact, the reason why Jianqi Jingxiang did not show sadness at the station was because she had decided to chase after him immediately after solving the problem of her voice actors!

Kashiwa Ippei's regret comes from the fact that he thinks he did something wrong; Kensaki Kyouka's regret comes from the fact that she feels she did nothing.

After Yin Ze figured out the key points, he grimaced in pain and had nothing else to say. Except blessing and congratulations!

Ugh.

The sound of keyboards rises and falls as agents work hard. The throne is lost, the group is leaderless, and only the regent minister steps up to keep the business running.

The Kashiway Group has been very special since its inception, with a T1-level pillar and a T0-level pillar, and the team is very family-like, with a harmonious atmosphere and never fights. Such an important team must be led by a trusted agent, so that the president can feel at ease. If it is taken over by an ambitious thief, who has his own troops and starts a new business, establishes himself as a king, and changes the name of the agency, it will be a big disaster.

Kashiwa is trustworthy, and so is Jianqi, but there are only these two, and they both ran away. It's not easy to find another person with both skills and character.

Masao Eda is now worried about this matter.

But although the president was worried, the Kashiwai faction had already tacitly appointed someone as the regent, and the work was going very smoothly without any stagnation.

Masao Eda was impressed by someone's strong ability, but then he remembered the two resignation letters and felt a chill on his back. Oh no! He must not take over the position of agent!

Originally, things were good, the salary was high, the projects were getting bigger and bigger, there was money and a sense of accomplishment, but they were running away faster and faster... This job was almost as good as the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. How could this be?

At this point, Masao Eda had to make a difficult decision: he had to do it himself.

It's impossible that I, as the president, would be so depressed that I would sign the resignation form myself, right?

Once you think about it, you start taking action.

The enthusiasm called Taizhuzi over and the two met in the office.

There are fashionable snacks and refreshments on the small reception table, and the atmosphere is very leisurely.

"In our industry, there hasn't been much change in the past few years. Some people are overwhelmed by the floods, and some are overwhelmed by the drought." Masao Eda chatted casually, "There are very few people who can make a name for themselves with dubbing alone. Most of them have part-time jobs, such as being lecturers. Some people are quite talented in management and simply set up their own agencies. After all, they have a lot of experience and connections. For an ordinary small agency, one or two signature figures are enough."

"It shouldn't be easy." Yin Ze said.

"Of course." Masao Eda answered neatly, "To be honest, if a popular voice actor becomes a president, his income will actually decrease. Not only that, there will be a lot of trivial matters to bother you, and you have to take care of everything. Especially when it comes to salary, if the revenue is not good, it will really make your hair fall out. Moreover, small companies have too low risk resistance, and the slightest news and rhythm will be enough to make them suffer. Others start a business with friends. Hey, you know, when you start a business with acquaintances, often in the end, you don’t even have brothers to do business with! Not only will the relationship become strained, but the money and time will also be wasted. It’s all in vain, all in vain."

"Indeed." Yin Ze agreed.

"The majority of jobs have been taken by established firms. It's hard to do business in a small company," Masao Eda added.

"Yes, that's the truth." Yin Ze also nodded.

"Haha, I've strayed off topic. Let's get back to the point." Masao Eda pondered for a few seconds, "I have an immature idea about your and Matsuoka's new agent."

"Please speak." Yin Ze said.

"It's like this. I founded a voice actor agency before, but it wasn't IM. At that time, the predecessor and first president of IM resigned from all his positions due to committing crimes, and I took over from then on until now." Masao Eda said, "As for why I left the company I founded and switched to running IM, the process was tortuous and I won't go into details."

"Anyway, I also started from the basics, and I know everything about the industry. When Kashiwa and Jianqi were here, they basically contacted me directly. Now that I can't find a suitable agent, why don't I do it myself?" Masao Eda asked in a measured manner.

"Oh? The president actually has such an idea?" Yin Ze was stunned, obviously not expecting such a development.

"In fact, it is not uncommon for presidents to be agents in the industry. On the contrary, some presidents worked as agents before starting their own companies. As a result, they have access to many voice actors and are able to quickly put together a team when their companies are established," said Masao Eda.

"I see." Yin Ze nodded.

"Haha, I know that you, like Kashiwai, have many wonderful ideas and need a certain degree of freedom to fully display your brilliant talents. So after I take on the role of your agent, everything will remain the same as it was before. What do you think?" Masao Eda asked expectantly.

"I have no objection." Yin Ze spread his hands. He always didn't care.

"Good, good, this is great, we will definitely become bigger and stronger!" Masao Eda was delighted. He had experienced sunset twice, but now his fighting spirit has been revived, and his desire to do great things is burning again.

"Without further delay, I will forward all the emails to your computer right now." Yin Ze suddenly sped up his speech.
