Tsukasa Higashino looked at Riko Hasegawa with a serious look in his eyes.

Under his gaze, Riko Hasegawa's gaze softened.

As the original author of the animated movie "Midnight Bell", the other party is willing to take the initiative to invite her, a little-known freelance voice actor, and her attitude is so sincere, it can be regarded as a national soldier's treatment.

But when she thought of the current situation, she hesitated for a while, wanting to let Higashino Tsukasa and them go back.

But before he could say this, Higashino Tsukasa suddenly coughed violently, and his face turned red.

"What's wrong? Higashino-sensei? Seeing that Higashino Tsukasa was coughing like this, Kuronomiya Akira couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... I guess I slept late yesterday, and I drew the manuscript for a long time. ”

Tsukasa Higashino waved his hand to signal that there was no problem, and then looked at Riko Hasegawa sincerely.

This sincere appearance of coming over to invite her with a sick body made Riko Hasegawa open her mouth, and let the other party go back stuck in her throat, and let go of her body: "Let's go in first, Mr. Higashino, Mr. Kuronomiya, it's a little cold outside." ”

"Okay, okay." Tsukasa Higashino smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that even if you Riko Hasegawa were an iron nail that had already taken a detour, I would straighten you up today.

Thinking about it, he coughed lightly a few more times, pretending to be sick. But these coughs are not as anxious as just now, otherwise they don't look like a cold, but like tuberculosis.

Just like that, I followed Riko Hasegawa into the house.

Her house is divided into two floors, the lower floor is mainly used as a sukiyaki storefront, and the upper floor and the backyard area is where the family lives.

The living room is quite large, with a heater in it, a TV and other objects, the carved cloth cushion looks very shabby, and a pot of green plants is placed on the cabinet next to it, and the whole living room is very life-like.

"Two teachers, please be seated." Riko Hasegawa beckoned Tsukasa Higashino and Akisa Kuromiya to sit down, and then carried the kettle and made a pot of hot tea.

After Tsukasa Higashino drank tea with Akira Kuronomiya, he began to enter the state of official work.

"As I said earlier, can Miss Hasegawa tell me the specific reason? Why give up the profession of voice actor? ”

As soon as Higashino finished his tea, he asked Riko Hasegawa, showing a sense of urgency.

This feeling of being valued warmed Riko Hasegawa's heart.

In fact, she hasn't been taken so seriously since she became a voice actor, and the office has assigned some inconspicuous roles.

So Higashino Tsukasa attached so much importance to it, which naturally moved her, opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, and then sighed, and finally said the reason with a bitter expression: "Actually, there is no great reason..."

Probably Sachiko Hasegawa is going to start going to elementary school next, and she, the older sister, must always pay attention to Sachiko.

In addition, there is a sukiyaki shop to take care of here, so she broke her wrist and decided to give up her career as a voice actor.

This is indeed a very common reason.

It is ordinary and realistic.

Higashino Tsukasa pondered and wanted to say something, but Kuronomiya Akira next to him sighed softly.

I think it's so difficult for Riko Hasegawa, a very talented seedling who encounters something like AK89 and then encounters the death of his father, which really deserves sympathy.

Her repeated sighs made Higashino Tsukasa a little speechless.

I haven't had time to persuade her here, so you sighed and sighed? Is this a cheer for me?

Higashino Tsukasa shook his head, ignoring Kuronomiya Akisa, thought for a while and said, "It's true that there are some difficulties, but it's not that it can't be solved... I understand the reason why Ms. Hasegawa gave up dubbing. But..."

Naturally, he couldn't just let go of Riko Hasegawa, the voice seedling, so he pondered the words and asked her, "Miss Hasegawa, don't you want to try it again?" I'm very optimistic about you. ”

Don't you want to try it again...?

Riko Hasegawa only felt that her heart seemed to be seen through by Tsukasa Higashino - she really didn't want to just give up her dream of becoming a famous voice actress.

Because she has been working for this goal for at least seven or eight years.

It took seven or eight years, no... Or even longer.

She went to a special voice actor school to learn her specialty... And now...

Riko Hasegawa was thinking, but saw Tsukasa Higashino over there standing up with a sick posture just now, and her tone was impassioned: "Now the opportunity has come!" Miss Hasegawa! As the original author of "Midnight Bell", I sincerely invite you to audition for our production team. ”

This enthusiastic attitude can be called Liu Bei's invitation to Mr. Wolong back then, and it also made Hasegawa Riko stunned, and for a while she actually stayed where she was and fell into a state of chaos.

This... Sounds like there's a real drama, right? Do you want to go to the audition?

Her expression was a little dazed, and she saw that Tsukasa Higashino next to her was also in good spirits-

It can be seen that Riko Hasegawa is still a relatively simple little girl, but she is a little shaken by being taken seriously... If this is placed in the Celestial Empire in the future, I am afraid that this kind of simple girl will be extinct.

But that's fine! The certainty of tying up the other party's thief ship is one point greater!

Higashino's conscience doesn't hurt at all, he thinks that Riko Hasegawa is the kind of person who can be born famous, and he pulls the other party into "Midnight Bell", which is also only good for her.

As long as she plays the role of Reiko Asakawa well, public opinion on the Internet may also change her position, and she may also become really hot with this "Midnight Bell" animated movie.

Well, by the way, I helped Tsukasa Higashino's career to the next level.

Thinking about it, Higashino Tsukasa didn't hesitate, took out a script from the shoulder bag next to him, and persuaded in a very infectious voice: "This is the script of "Midnight Bell", I hope Miss Hasegawa can be a little familiar with Reiko Asakawa's lines. It's better to take this role down. ”

His appearance, in a period drama, as long as he changes his clothes, he is a hot-blooded teacher, and he is also very inflammatory.

"Huh? Reiko Asakawa? Riko Hasegawa, who was dizzy, heard another bombshell, and her innocent and delicate face showed an incredible expression.

Kuronomiya Akira did come over and invited her to audition for "Midnight Bell", but she didn't tell her that the audition role was actually the most important heroine in "Midnight Bell", Reiko Asakawa.

After all, Kuronomiya Mingsha has always had very few words, and when she came over, she just asked her if she would go to the audition for "Midnight Bell", and there was an audition opportunity.

Boy.

As soon as Higashino saw Riko Hasegawa's expression, he knew that Kuronomiya Akira had not been notified at all.

But at this time, I can't take care of that.

Riko Hasegawa's side has been completely shaken, and she will continue to pour oil on the fire!

He thought for a moment and took out the tape that Sachiko Hasegawa gave him: "This tape was given to me by Sachiko's sister. It's thanks to Sachiko's sister, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Miss Hasegawa actually has such superb dubbing skills. I'm so grateful to her. ”

Higashino's words were very sensational, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Sachiko...?

Riko Hasegawa was stunned, then silent, completely unclear about the current situation.

Is it possible for Sachiko to support herself in chasing her dreams?

Otherwise, why would Sachiko give the tape to Tsukasa Higashino?

Riko Hasegawa was a little touched that her sister was so supportive of her in the dark.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and her expression was finally completely excited: "Mr. Higashino, can you give me another day to think about it?" ”

Looking at her surging appearance, Higashino Tsukasa was also moved.

This should be done.

As for giving her another day to think about it...

To be honest, Tsukasa Higashino is eager to bring the contract over to her to sign it now, but he can't do it, so he has to respect the other party.

So Higashino Tsukasa still smiled and nodded: "I understand, if you have an idea, please call me immediately." ”

He also left the voice actor's script, after all, he still had to give the other party time to adapt to the script.

As for the rest... The impassioned Tsukasa Higashino is impassioned, and the sensational Tsukasa Higashino is also sensational, and he has already tried his best.

Now that everything has been done, it's time to wait for the results.

He didn't hesitate, he simply left with Kuronomiya Mingsa.

"Will it work?" Walking on the road, Kuronomiya Akira couldn't help but ask him.

"I don't know, I can only say that there is hope." Higashino shook his head with a smile.

"Really?" Kuronomiya Mingsha lowered her head, and only looked up after a while: "That's also very powerful." ”

It's really amazing...

This time, she was a bystander throughout the whole process, watching Higashino Tsukasa persuade Hasegawa Riko, Hasegawa Riko's attitude was quite firm, but she didn't know why she invited them into the house, and she talked to Higashino Tsukasa for a long time, so she inexplicably wanted to think about it.

Then she thought about what she had persuaded Riko Hasegawa twice before...

He walked out without even saying a word.

Kuronomiya Akisa stopped and took a deep breath, feeling that there was still a lot to learn from Tsukasa Higashino.

Tsukasa Higashino didn't notice Kuronomiya Akisa's thoughts, and he was still thinking about how he would attack again if Riko Hasegawa refused.

In this way, the two of them returned to Tokyo Animation Production Company and started working.

Tsukasa Higashino was still thinking about Riko Hasegawa, so the progress of the original manuscript was slow, and even Honbashi Guidehiro couldn't help but come up to him when he saw this scene and asked him what difficulties he encountered from time to time.

You must know that in the past, Higashino's speed was very fast.

In this regard, Tsukasa Higashino is naturally perfunctory.

In the afternoon, Tsukasa Higashino wanted to buy something to fill his stomach, but before he could take two steps, his phone rang.

It was the call from Riko Hasegawa!

Higashino Tsukasa immediately came to his senses, and he picked up the phone: "Hey? Is it Miss Hasegawa? How's it being considered? ”

"Yes, I've thought about it, Higashino-sensei."

Riko Hasegawa over there had a feeling of nervousness about a surprise exam from her teacher when she was in high school, and she took a deep breath and replied, "I want to audition for "Midnight Bell". ”

Hearing the other party's words, Higashino Tsukasa looked excited.

Very good!

After so much effort and so many detours, I finally got started with Riko Hasegawa, an excellent voice actor.

As for whether she can win the role of Reiko Asakawa in the end...?

Tsukasa Higashino is not worried about this, after all, Riko Hasegawa just practiced so well, if she can show the level she was practicing, there will be no problem at all to win the role of Reiko Asakawa.

Thinking of this place, he opened his mouth again to encourage: "Come on, Miss Hasegawa, I believe that you can win the role of Reiko Asakawa, as long as you win this role, it will not be difficult for Miss Hasegawa to make her debut as a voice actor again." ”

At that time, it is estimated that many voice actor agencies will find Riko Hasegawa and re-sign with her.

But when she said this, Riko Hasegawa's side was silent again, and it took several seconds before she spoke again: "That... Higashino-sensei, I don't really plan to make my debut as a voice actor again. ”

Well?

This made Higashino Tsukasa confused.

What is this?

Isn't Riko Hasegawa targeting voice actors? Why did you finally get a good role, but you gave up when you could raise your eyebrows?

Riko Hasegawa over there seemed to understand what Higashino Tsukasa was thinking now, so she immediately replied: "Actually, it's not that I've given up on the dream of being a voice actor, but the reason is similar to what I said before, I still have Sachiko to take care of, and there is a sukiyaki industry here at home, so it's basically impossible to join another studio." I am also very grateful to Mr. Higashino, it was Mr. Higashino who gave me the opportunity. ”

She had obviously thought about it a lot, not on the spur of the moment.

"Really? That's a bit of a pity..."Tsukasa Higashino couldn't help but shake his head.

He respected the other party's opinion and did not continue to persuade him.

Riko Hasegawa is indeed very talented, so she gave up, and Higashino Tsukasa couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her talent.

It's a pity indeed.

It seems that "Midnight Bell" will only be Riko Hasegawa's last work.

Just as Higashino Tsukasa was thinking like this, Riko Hasegawa over there spoke again: "Does Higashino-sensei think it's a pity?" ”

"Hmm." Higashino Tsukasa was still sighing at Riko Hasegawa's swan song, and then she spoke again, so he replied: "It's a pity that Miss Hasegawa stopped here, and I still think I can cooperate with you again in the future." ”

That's true.

He has heard the voice of Riko Hasegawa, and her voice is changeable, and she can control many roles.

Originally, he was thinking that he would have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, but now it seems...

He sighed here, but Riko Hasegawa over there suddenly spoke: "Actually, if you don't dislike Higashino-sensei, even as a freelance voice actor, I'm very willing to dub Higashino-sensei's works." ”

Belch...?

Higashino was stunned when he listened.

None of the voice actors of the agency are willing to work for him...?

Listening to the meaning of Riko Hasegawa's words, it seems that she only plans to dub her own work, and she doesn't plan to dub any other animation works?

Isn't this his personal voice actor?

Belch...?

Does it mean that you have picked up a voice actor?

And a particularly talented voice actor?
