Tokyo Soft Rice King

In short, with Kuroba Akira's tolerance, Takanashi Akiko can also talk about her work in the inner world.

"That's right... At that time, President Fuyumi arranged a dubbing job for me in Hgame, and she even paid for it and built a recording studio for me at home."

"Oh, it's your workshop at home."

"Well, at the time, H-game dubbing was a blank slate. Of the 2,500 voice actors, less than 10% were female and willing to do H-game dubbing."

For actors, filming AV is considered as entering the adult entertainment industry, then for voice actors, dubbing for works with a limited audience is equivalent to entering the adult entertainment industry.

But in fact, it is not the same thing at all.

"Also, since voice actors mostly live near Tokyo, and there are a few in Osaka, many H-game development teams are actually located in more rural areas, where they can save money. However, hiring voice actors to do dubbing is very expensive, as you also have to pay for transportation and other expenses, which is another considerable expense."

"That's true. And it's not just about hiring a voice actor, right? We have to audition to see if it's suitable."

"That's right. If everything goes well, we can finish it that day. But if not, we have to come back another day to record, which costs us more money. So many small studios can't afford voice actors, so remote voice actors with their own recording studios are a huge advantage."

Hei Yuming's eyes lit up. This is the prototype of working from home!

It is true that work like voice acting can actually be done remotely. It should be said that when hiring foreign voice actors, it is definitely impossible to ask them to fly over to do the dubbing. It is basically done through remote video conference.

However, most voice actors do not have their own recording studios and sound engineers, and they also have to dub according to the instructions of the dubbing director, so they still have to dub on site.

However, Hgames do not have these restrictions, because many of them are produced by small companies, and they are basically just a series of lines, so they are relatively casual.

Moreover, President Fuyumi even paid for a professional recording studio for her out of his own pocket, which was indeed a huge investment.

Of course, this is also because Aunt Qiuzi adopted Weilai.

"Then, how should I put it... there aren't many mother characters in general works, and they are often supporting roles with only a few lines. However, in R18X Hgames and late-night dramas, there is an extremely large demand for mothers..."

"I understand."

After all, in the field of literature, there are still quite a lot of works that are against the will of the times and go against the norm, and it can even be said that they occupy half of the market.

The sister-themed light novels written by Kuroba Akira are actually also following that trend. After all, even melodramatic dramas like to use this kind of plot, which is enough to show that it is a subject that the masses like to watch.

"It was truly staggeringly massive. When I was busiest, I could only sleep four hours a day... Just now, Kuroba-kun, you asked me, 'What dubbing needs to be done at night?' Actually, it's all this work..."

When Akiko Takanashi recalled the intensity of the work at that time, she also showed an expression of admiration.

"It's like the people who make games live in a different world where there's no concept of day and night. Even if I record something late at night and send it to them, I get a reply immediately. It was really scary at first."

"Haha... this is how games are made..."

Otherwise I wouldn’t have died suddenly = =, gamers have a hard time no matter which world they are in.

"But because the feedback was so quick, I could make changes immediately if there were any issues. It was during this time that I accumulated a lot of experience in dubbing wife and mother roles..."

So that's how it is. This is the time to improve your proficiency. This is really efficient.

Then, after accumulating enough proficiency, it's time to make a splash.

As expected by Kuroba Akira, Takanashi Akiko's career entered a period of growth.

"And so a few years passed. When she first started nursery school in the future, President Fuyumi found some localized dubbing work for me, and I started taking on some serious dubbing work."

From the inside out, Akiko Takanashi, who had been silent for a long time, began to reappear in front of everyone.

"After that, she found a job doing voiceover work in a period drama. My partner was another veteran voice actor, Tamami Takagi, who voiced Katsuo, the heroine of the anime 'Kaminari-san'."

This is certainly not a coincidence.

Judging from Saotome Fuyumi's previous arrangements for Aunt Akiko, it was obvious that this was also a trap set by her.

It was just so that Aunt Akiko could get in touch with Ms. Takagi that she found some strange dubbing jobs for her.

"At the time, Ms. Takagi's health was deteriorating, and she was already thinking about finding a successor. Then, about three years ago, she took the initiative to contact me and asked if I would be interested in taking over the voice of Ms. Kaisen. She said that my voice was very similar to hers and was very suitable for the role. So I took on this important task."

“Then you’ll be completely famous.”

"Yeah, it's a national-level anime after all, so changing the voice actors is a big deal. The media started making a big fuss about me, this 'unknown voice actor,' and even dug up the story of me being abandoned by the voice actor agency. They said I was ruthlessly abandoned after seven years of hard work, and now I'm back for revenge. It was really exaggerated..."

“That’s how the media is.”

However, the media did not belittle it, but praised it lavishly, most likely because they received money, and this was definitely the work of Saotome Fuyumi.

"Anyway, after the topic was hyped up, more people supported me. Plus, my voice was really suitable, and in the end, the audience also recognized my voice, and I became completely famous."

"Nowadays, when it comes to married women, including mothers, many dubbing directors will think of me first and ask me to do the dubbing, and the remuneration is also very generous..."

"Being able to become a 'representative' in this niche field, I'm already very satisfied... I never thought I'd reach this position. Even now, I sometimes wonder if I'm dreaming, haha..."

It seems that Saotome Fuyumi's thinking is very similar to Kuroba Akira's.

However, as the director of a voice actor agency, Saotome Fuyumi has "channels" and "resources" that Kuroba Akira cannot match.

It is the promax upgraded version of Kuroba Akira.

So Kuroba Akira started to take an interest in President Fuyumi.

It just so happened that he was recently helping Ziyin find a suitable voice actor agency.

Isn't it a good place for Shion to work in a voice actor agency with such an iron-fisted director?

Now I have to help resolve the conflict between Kotori and her mother. I can make Aunt Akiko owe me a favor, and then use this favor to ask her to help introduce me.

"Although there is an element of luck, the results we have today are undoubtedly the result of your hard work, Aunt Qiuzi."

After first confirming Akiko Takanashi, Kuroba Akira asked with some doubts.

"But you're completely famous now, right? Do you still need to continue taking voiceover work for Hgame?"

Takanashi Akiko looked embarrassed and spoke hesitantly.

"Well...after all, we've been collaborating with some game studios for many years, so it's not easy to turn them all down..."

This is a lie.

In fact, Akiko Takanashi has been completely "whitewashed".

In order to prevent people from discovering her experience as a voice actor in Satokai, Saotome Fuyumi did not allow her to go to the scene at the beginning. This was also a preparation for her later transformation. During this period, Akiko Takanashi did not show up and used a pseudonym.

So some of the bad dubbing nowadays is actually just personal interest, not work at all, and it has not been leaked.

She couldn't say this even if she was beaten to death.

At the beginning, Akiko Takanashi mainly wanted to supplement her experience in this area because she had raised a daughter and had never raised a son.

The result was incredible maternal instincts and splits, and I was completely addicted to that kind of "hum and ha", a bit like going to a KTV room to sing and shout.

It has become a way to vent my emotions.

Even though Akiko Takanashi has never been married, she is already fantasizing about the "hen crowing at dawn" plot.

And this morning too.

The reason why she sneaked into her studio while the children were asleep...

In fact, it was because Akiko Takanashi had some "not so good" thoughts about Akira Kuroba.

If Kuroba-kun becomes my son-in-law...

Doesn't that mean he's my son?

Although it is not realistic, this "setting" is enough to serve as a "side dish" for Akiko Takanashi.

Hei Yuming probably couldn't have imagined it in his dreams, since he clearly had no intention of becoming Boss Cao...

But Mom started fantasizing about ponies.

Chapter 216: The Dark Little Devil Who Tricked My Mother

However, Akiko Takanashi was just fantasizing for a moment and immediately came to her senses.

She thought about when she was in the studio just now, she heard the sound of the door handle turning, and she was so scared that she let out a little bit, and now her panties are still a little wet and sticky.

Fortunately, he did not forget to lock the door, otherwise if Kuroba Akira found out that he was not working but secretly "relaxing", and used him as a spell material, then Takanashi Akiko's life, which had just turned 38 years old, would have come to an end.

How would he treat me then? Would he use this as a handle to do something to me? Would I become a giant milk teapot for little boys?

The delusion popped up again, and Akiko Takanashi quickly shook her head, and suppressed these bad thoughts before dirtying her panties again.

Because of her previous work experience and the fact that she has maintained her purity even at this age, her sexual desire is much stronger than that of an adolescent girl.

In terms of the degree of hunger and thirst, she is even higher than the royal sister Hongxiang.

Moreover, she told Hei Yuming everything that she had concealed until now. This deep intimacy of sharing secrets made her, the abnormal pseudo-mother, begin to think about "keeping him at home."

After all, Akiko Takanashi 'accidentally' told all the secrets to Akira Kuroba, so he had to become an 'accomplice' and keep it secret with her.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to lock him up directly. We have to let him stay voluntarily, so we have to adopt a conciliatory policy and use various things to bribe him.

Whether it is for the future or for myself, in order to keep the Kotori Yu family alive, I have to find a way to make him become a "part of the Kotori Yu family" no matter what.

Then after spending a long time together, if you intentionally make some explicit contact, some things will happen naturally.

Kuroba Akira had no idea that the price he had to pay to obtain Akiko Takanashi's secret was actually himself.

After he was targeted by Shion as a counter-attack target, Xiaotori Yu Akiko also became interested in him.

But what Akiko Takanashi didn't expect was that Akira Kuroba was actually the "traitor" sent by her daughter, and all their conversations were heard by Mirai Takanashi.

Moreover, Kuroba Akira did not intend to drag it on any longer. He planned to resolve the mother-daughter conflict in the Kotori family in one go.

So, he continued the previous topic and once again revealed Akiko Takanashi's "scar".

"So, Auntie Akiko, you're preventing her from becoming a voice actor in the future because you're afraid she'll follow the same path as you?"

"That's right... After all, the times are completely different from when I was there. Voice actors nowadays don't just do voice acting. Female voice actors are starting to go the route of 'voice actor idolization'. In addition to voice acting, they also have to participate in various live events like idols. Therefore, the overall quality requirements are higher. In occasions where they need to hold concerts, they are even required to be able to dance in a group."

Hei Yuming nodded in agreement.

“That’s really the big trend right now.”

"Yes, so I know she has talent in the future. For example, she has a good sense of pitch and melody, and good control of rhythm. However, these 'incomplete talents' will gradually reveal their shortcomings after becoming a professional, and then the child will face the same dilemma I faced before."

In fact, Mirai Kotori's innate conditions as a voice actor are even worse than her mother's, and she doesn't even have the slightest talent.

Her talent as an anchor should make her better at working on radio programs, but if she can't even do her job as a voice actor well, how can she possibly participate in a radio program?

It might be more reliable for her to be a broadcaster or host than a voice actor.

It was only after careful analysis that Akiko Takanashi concluded that her daughter was not suitable to be a voice actor, otherwise she would actually like to work with her daughter.

"Because I have worked so hard to get to where I am now, I know very well that if she wants to succeed in the future and surpass me, the price she will have to pay is something heavier than her body and life, and that is 'life'."

"Do I need to gamble my life..."

I think Mirai Kotori doesn't have this awareness.

After all, she herself said that she only longed for the job of voice actor because her mother was a voice actor and she watched her mother grow up. She actually didn't like dubbing work very much.

"So, as her mother, I really don't want her to hastily decide her life goals, nor do I want her to repeat the path I've taken, because in the future she will probably have a harder time than I did, without even the little bit of luck I once had."

Akiko Takanashi is undoubtedly lucky. Even though she has a stronger desire than anyone else, if she had not met the right person, that is, Saotome Fuyumi, she would probably have become a buried person.

"Although I'm not the biological mother of that child, I truly treat her as my own daughter. I know that because she has no father, she was bullied and discriminated against at school, which is why she hates going to school... But I still hope that she can live a 'normal life'."

Only after becoming a real mother did Akiko Takanashi realize how much trouble her young and immature self had caused to her family.

It really drives parents crazy to see their children making reckless decisions about their lives.

And even now, Akiko Takanashi's relationship with her family has not been repaired.

It wasn't because of the incident of running away from home, but because her parents found out that she already had a child and didn't know who her husband was. They thought she was probably someone else's mistress and they really couldn't accept it.

Combined with the fact that she suddenly became famous, it seems more like a "real hammer".

In order to hide the truth, Takanashi Akiko couldn't tell her parents that she was still a virgin, so she could only accept it as it was.

So in fact, Akiko Takanashi, as a mother, has not yet reconciled with her parents.

Then her daughter suddenly had a conflict with her, and she became so stressed that she went to her daughter's classmates to talk.

"Then, Aunt Qiuzi, why don't you explain all this to Mirai? If you're willing to tell her these thoughts, she won't be upset with you in the future, right?"

"If only... I could say it..."

Akiko Takanashi can tell secrets to Akira Kuroba, but she cannot tell them to her own daughter.

Because guilt was like a silent visitor, creeping into her heart without her noticing.

If Akiko Takanashi had no feelings for this adopted daughter, she probably wouldn't have any psychological burden.

But it was precisely because she truly experienced the feelings of being a mother, fell in love with the future, and poured her motherly love into her as if she were her own flesh and blood, that she regretted it.
