Tokyo Sound

Alas, if the leader can see through it, there is nothing to be sad about.

……

Yin Ze left the office and was blown by the wind. He couldn't help but wrap himself up. The city was cooling down. As the year was coming to an end, the sun was as fragile as a leaf. It would fall asleep and take a nap as soon as it was turned over.

Winter is like this, it comes unexpectedly, and sometimes you catch a cold. But people are contradictory, they love flowers in winter and snow in summer.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sent a message, inviting us to a dinner party.

He must have just finished dubbing and came out for dinner.

This temperature is just right for stewing.

Yin Ze walked into the store and sat down without any hesitation. The delicious aroma of the boiling soup floated up from the middle of the table for four.

"Why don't big stars wear masks? Are they so carefree?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu always has witty remarks when talking to his acquaintances.

"Here, give me a gift." Yin Ze held out a piece of paper between two fingers, looking as if he was handing out a bank card instead of a piece of paper.

"Your handwritten signature?" Hidaka Rina took it suspiciously. Her hair was not tied up, but fixed with a hairpin. She still had the red scarf around her neck, and paired it with a blue A-line coat, it was a very authentic, timeless Japanese winter style. Youthful, campus, retro cuteness. However, the younger senior was very young, but her thoughts were mature. Putting aside her long career since she was a child star, she was just a girl of the right age.

"It's the handwritten signature of a famous star." Yin Ze corrected.

"This character only needs some more practice." Hidaka Rina commented sharply.

"Why don't I have it?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu frowned.

"Just forget it." Yin Ze said.

"I don't have it, so how can Inosuke not have it either?" said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

Now it's so easy to call her that. Yin Ze pretended to be shy, "I think she wants your autograph more~"

"Yes, come to think of it, I haven't seen Matsuoka-kun's handwriting yet. I wonder if it's very beautiful." Minase Qi smiled.

"My calligraphy is very average." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said embarrassedly.

"No, the notes you made on the script are very concise, and occasionally there are symbols and prompts that only I can understand. They must have been condensed from years of working on the set. When can you teach me?" Minase Qi's praise and demands were both imperative and really hard to resist.

"No problem, I will tell you everything I know." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is always so confident when talking about his profession.

"Let's order first!" Yin Ze said loudly.

"It's been ordered and it's cooking in the pot." Hidaka Rina said, pointing at the pot.

"You ordered before I even arrived?" Yin Ze was displeased.

"Don't worry, they are all your favorite foods." Hidaka Rina comforted.

"You know my taste so well?" Yin Ze agreed.

"Is there anything you don't like to eat?" Hidaka Rina was surprised.

It turns out it was a saturated order.

"...You just got off work, right?" Yin Ze asked.

"Yes, the three of us were on the same set and came out right after the recording," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Only you?" Yin Ze asked again.

"There are juniors and other people too, but we are here to call you. If there are new faces, it will become a social occasion. We old friends can sit together to eat, so there is no need to care so much." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu answered naturally.

"After all, there are many younger generations who admire big stars now." Hidaka Rina added, supporting her head with her hands.

"But it's strange. When Matsuoka-kun and I went to the cinema to watch it, I thought you were very charming. But privately, I thought you were just okay." Minase Inori said.

"Is it possible that he has always been like this, and his acting skills helped him in the film?" said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Oh~ No wonder Matsuoka-kun looks more handsome on the set than usual~" Minase Inori smiled secretly again.

"Yeah, there's none left." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu coughed.

"...Are they like this on the set too?" Yin Ze couldn't hold it in any longer and asked quietly to the person beside him.

"Of course not. We didn't talk on the set and we just looked like ordinary colleagues." Hidaka Rina leaned over and replied in a low voice.

Wow, this is the acting ability of the best male and female voice actor winners of the same year. They are really good at acting/covering up.

By the way, since winning the Best Voice Actor award, Minase Inori is reducing her idol-related work and working more as a traditional voice actor. Although the girl is young, she has experienced hardships and is much more sober than her peers. She knows what she really wants.

So-called idols cannot fall in love. This is a respect for the consumer group and also a sign of professionalism.

If you develop a mutual affection with an idol voice actor, you will be attacked even if Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has a good reputation.

Minase Inori doesn't want to deceive her fans, nor does she want Matsuoka-kun to get hurt, so she chooses not to take on the current benefits of an idol voice actor, and instead stands next to Matsuoka-kun as a traditional actor.

"You kid, keep working on it." Yin Ze was overwhelmed with emotions and patted his good friend on the shoulder, feeling the comfort of an old father.

"Have I ever stopped working hard? How could you not know this after all these years?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu smiled and just said.

After eating a pot of soup, the body feels much warmer.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Minase Inori wanted to go for a drink.

Yin Ze and Hidaka Rina took another route home.

The streets are dry and cold in the evenings of early winter. The shops along the street are full of dazzling goods, with glass windows polished to a shine. Some display rotating handmade products, and some are small shops where you can smell the aroma of coffee when you pass by. Soon, tiny snowflakes begin to float in the sky, and those little snowflakes will melt as soon as they fall on people's shoulders.

But there was indeed snow.

"I remember once I asked you if you were planning to be an actor, and you said no, but now you're the lead actor. Junior, you don't really speak the truth." Hidaka Rina said after exhaling a breath of white air.

"Really? There's no actor as unmotivated as me. I was hoping to win the Best Voice Actor award." Yin Ze said leisurely, putting his hands in his pockets.

"You have a great memory, right?" Hidaka Rina suddenly asked.

"It's OK."

"Remember, we had three requirements before?" Hidaka Rina raised her eyebrows.

"The one in the dark fantasy radio drama?" Yin Ze quickly pondered, "I said at the time that as long as it does not violate the chivalrous code..."

"Are there more? I can't remember. I just remember that I seem to have one more request that I haven't mentioned." Hidaka Rina went straight to the point.

"I am not a person who does not keep his word." Yin Ze snorted, "It's just that I can't go against chivalry..."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Hidaka Rina said lightly, "It's not that complicated."

"Then tell me."

"You have to live happily."

The snow is peaceful and ethereal.

"That's it." Yin Ze said.

"What else? Does life have to be complicated?" Hidaka Rina glanced helplessly, "Life can be something to ponder, or it can be something to enjoy."

The streets are full of bright lights, the night covers the sky, and neon lights cover this gorgeous city. Every prism on the windowsill, every line of glass, every drop of snow in the air reflected by the street lights, are whispering that another winter has come.

Chapter 122: Quiet Prosperity

It started snowing in Tokyo.

The weather news on TV was all about cold air moving in overhead and the winter-type pressure configuration becoming stronger.

Yin Ze stood by the window and took a look. It was drizzling outside. Well, the next snow was not far away. He walked to the closet, took out the red floral cotton jacket and cotton pants that he had been planning for a long time and put them on. With the addition of the magic clothes, the festive and fashionable values ​​increased rapidly. It was bright and dazzling, and it caught people's attention. He was a walking trend bus.

The New Year is almost here, this is how you should dress.

Yin Ze rolled up his sleeves and began to clean his small apartment, doing the year-end cleaning, which could also be called letting go. At this time, the advantages of a small house came into play. It was so funny that there was not much space at all, and he could finish the cleaning without even taking a breath.

I took out the couplet I asked an old man to write in Chinatown and posted it at the door. "Blessings overflow the universe, pigs knock on the door, days add years, people eat too much", and the horizontal banner read "Another bowl". Good, good, very touching.

At this time, artists would draw New Year's greeting cards and upload them to the Internet. Master Yin is now the original artist of international online games, mobile games, and stand-alone masterpieces, and the animation supervisor of a billion-dollar box office movie. It can be said that as an artist, he still has a certain reputation, so he should naturally upload a congratulatory picture for everyone to enjoy.

After pondering the plan for a while, Yin Ze began to draw. The congratulatory picture was not complicated. There was no need to make it a high-precision masterpiece. He only needed to draw the lines, apply the fixed colors, add a level of shadow and add some text.

Upload to the push account and the secondary account, done.

Some netizens who stayed at home, peeling oranges and checking their phones while sitting in the kotatsu, saw new updates.

I saw a cute Q-version minotaur holding his hooves tightly with a silly smile on his face. The text bubble on the left said "Great", and below it was written "Happy New Year" in red font.

"That's it? You're sending us off with just a little doodle?"

"He has so many classic characters, why did he choose Minotaur?"

"Can we have a Joker for the New Year? Please, Captain, take us to steal hearts again."

"Like and wish me success in the college entrance examination——!"

"I wish you all a happy new year."

"Have fun together"

……

Yin Ze poured a cup of hot water, went to the corridor outside the door, leaned against the railing to look at the scenery. He said he was looking at the scenery, but he lived in 2-4, and he couldn't see too far from the height of the second floor. They were all small streets and paths that he was familiar with. However, with the hard accumulation of snow, the familiar scene in front of him also had a bit of freshness. The snow in front of the door downstairs was like a floor of lactose.

Seeing that the busy year is finally coming to an end, even this city, at this end, shows an atmosphere of rest and yawning, and becomes a little quieter.

Starting from December, Japanese companies will hold year-end parties. So a strange scene happened. Yin Ze received invitations to the annual meetings of different companies, including AQUARE ENIX, Kyoto Animation, CyGames, and CoMix Wave Films where Makoto works...

Lu Bu is actually me?!

Of course, Yin Ze went to the annual meeting of I'm Enterprise last, sitting at the table of the president, next to the president, and the vice president could only sit next to him, with management on both sides. He ate two-thirds of the meal and then went to Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's table. Not long after he sat down, Onishi Saori asked for a red envelope, and Yin Ze gave it to her, then turned around and asked for red envelopes from Nakajima Masa and Hikasa Yoko.

Doesn't that mean I'm not a junior anymore?

The procedures of company annual meetings are all similar, with leaders giving speeches, watching performances, playing group games, drawing lots, and eating and drinking to one’s heart’s content.

My luck wasn’t very good and I didn’t win anything big, so I just packed up the dishes from the banquet and went home.

The little sister upstairs took the bus back to her hometown yesterday, and before leaving, she helped the big brother downstairs cook a pot of soup. Yin Ze sent Asamiya Xiangyue to the station just like in previous years, and he also gave her a red envelope.

I had a phone call with Yamayanagi Nobunobu earlier and we chatted about family matters. I learned that Principal Koizumi was still the same, with no changes. Homeroom teacher Tomoko Yasukawa got married, her husband was a former classmate, they had children, their marriage was happy, and their family was happy. Doctor Niimura from the health center had just finished an academic visit and was applying to go out again, but the principal thought he just wanted to watch the cheerleading competition, so he refused to approve it.

Shan Liusheng Qinghua will take the exam after the first month of the year. Judging from the mock scores, it must be my junior schoolmate. I must go to her campus and use her meal card.

Sakura Eiji brought his grandparents to Tokyo for the New Year, and played chess with his father-in-law when he had nothing to do. He lost more than he won, so he brought up Go in desperation. He thought that neither he nor his father-in-law were very good at this game, and he, as a top student, must have learned it faster and had an advantage. But his performance was worse than Gobang, and he lost miserably. After asking, he found out that Chiba Masatoshi knew Go, which was bad.

Sakura Eiji had invited Yin Ze to spend the New Year with him early on, firstly because they were family, and secondly to keep Chiba Jinsui company and entertain him - after the torturous ten-game match, Chiba Jinsui was already disliked his son-in-law's intellectual athletic level.

Onishi Kawase also invited Yin Ze to celebrate the New Year. To be more precise, the old dean wanted to take him to some social gatherings and activities. And Natsume Kenzo, who had gained some tips, was also preparing to take some action in this year's social gathering.

Yin Ze, wearing a floral suit, stood outside the corridor, watching the snowflakes falling, and couldn't help but think of Takizawa Satoru's family. Takizawa's father had passed away, but his mother was still alive. After remarriage, she had a daughter - this was the information he knew when he first came here. Takizawa, who was still in high school at the time, received regular living expenses from his guardian, but Takizawa was quite resistant to using the money and would only use it when he had no other choice. Later, when he reached the age, he went to work on his own.

Takizawa's contact with his mother became less and less, and finally one day, as if there was some kind of strange tacit understanding, the two sides never contacted each other again, and their relationship was tacitly severed.

Then came Yin Ze's arrival. He was so confused that he naturally didn't think about contacting her. Later, when he calmed down and thought about it, he could only think about it. Even if they got through on the phone, what could they say? And Yin Ze was now using the name of Takizawa Satoru to act in movies, newspapers, and advertisements. There were also photos in the reports. He was considered to be a big shot, but no one asked him about it.

Yin Ze wanted to check it out. After all, in this situation, if the other party had not had an accident, then they would really have no contact with each other for life. He understood this situation. After all, there are so many families in the world, and not every family is harmonious and perfect. There are also negative emotions between family members, such as disgust, distance, and even hatred.

The cup of hot water in Yin Ze's hand gradually cooled down, so he walked in, took out the vegetables from the refrigerator, chopped and started preparing the ingredients.

Time passes slowly.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, whose coat shoulders were soaked with snow, and Shimazaki Nobunaga climbed the stairs together and came out.

Shimazaki Nobunaga was a popular writer at the time. He looked at the Chinese characters for "a pig knocking on the door" in the first line of the couplet, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Come, I'll help you carry the things, and you knock."

"What a waste of time! Why don't you just knock it?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, who was holding plastic bags in both hands, was very puzzled.

Shimazaki Nobunaga refused, so he used his voice as a top voice actor to convey the message: "Listen inside! Open the door! Send warmth!"

The door opened, revealing a red-clad, rose-skinned demon carrying a kitchen knife.

"I didn't expect you to be so cultured and recognize this formation." Yin Ze said approvingly.

"Haha." Shimazaki Nobunaga sneered.

With two more people, the small apartment became lively.

There was a small table in the middle of the room, with a hot pot, a stew, and lettuce in small bowls surrounding it.

"What a delicious soup! Did you make this?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was a self-taught chef, but he still had a good taste. He knew the soup was made by a master as soon as he saw it. "Have you improved your cooking skills again?"

"Haha, that's right." Yin Ze admitted, not blushing at all. What belongs to the master is his own. It may not be his now, but it will be his sooner or later. So there is no problem.

"Drink, drink, and when you get drunk just lie down and sleep, it's okay." Shimazaki Nobunaga took out a can of beer from a plastic bag.

"Put it in the pot." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu poured the chopped vegetables into the hot pot.

"I'm telling you, aren't you going home? Or going to spend time with your girlfriend?" Yin Ze also sat down.
