Riko Hasegawa?

The name is indeed familiar.

Honbashi and Toda immediately thought of the 'snowman' who stood by the door of the Tokyo Animation Production Company every day.

"Oh... It turned out to be her. Honbashi Daohiro suddenly realized, and then he looked back at Toda Shimitsu: "Remember that there are only two works of her dubbing, right?" ”

"Well, it's "Ultramarine Philosophy" and "The Golden Field Murder Case." Toda Shimitsu is worthy of being a golden partner with Motohashi Daohiro for many years, and with a glance at Motohashi Daohiro, he knows what information the other party wants to know.

"I remember that her dubbing strength is really good, and her appearance is also very good, and she is a very talented seedling." He added a few more pieces of information.

It seems that Riko Hasegawa comes over every day to brush her face and has an effect, even if Toda Shimitsu didn't have an impression of her at first, but in this long-term face brushing situation, she has also become concerned, otherwise it would be impossible to shake out so much information.

But...

"But I've heard that Miss Hasegawa seems to be a free man now, right? I heard that it seems that the contract with AK89 was terminated? Honhashi frowned and pinched his chin in thought.

He actually knows the deep-seated reason why Riko Hasegawa was kicked out of the AK89 firm, after all, the AK89 firm's reputation in the industry is not very good.

I'm not afraid of AK89, after all, Tokyo Animation Production is one of the best animation production companies in the industry, just one office... He wasn't really worried.

But if you really want to use Riko Hasegawa as Higashino Tsukasa said, then there is no doubt that you will have to face these problems.

This matter is very troublesome, and it will take a lot of effort to solve it, and Honbashi Daohiro doesn't like these troubles very much - the most important thing is whether Riko Hasegawa has the ability to let them solve these troubles for her.

If Riko Hasegawa really has the strength to win the role of Reiko Asakawa... Then he's willing to help solve these things.

After all, Honhashi Daohiro has been going downhill since "The Wind Blows Through Dandelions", and now he is full of thoughts about making a good work, if Riko Hasegawa really has the strength... Then he must have saved the other party.

A good concept artist is one in a million, and so is a good voice actor.

If the original artist can make the comic characters three-dimensional, then the voice actor can give the soul of the animated characters.

Both are indispensable.

"I'm very optimistic about Miss Hasegawa, and I think she can win this audition." Tsukasa Higashino saw Tohiro Motohashi's hesitation.

The other party probably thinks it's not good to make such a rough decision, and wants to see Riko Hasegawa's ability.

This is reasonable, after all, it is just the words of Tsukasa Higashino who wants to win such an important role, which is simply embarrassing the other party.

So Tsukasa Higashino added: "As long as Brother Motohashi is willing to give Miss Hasegawa a chance to audition, the rest depends on her performance." If it doesn't feel appropriate, I won't say a word more. ”

This can be regarded as a big step back, which makes Honhashi Daohiro also breathe a sigh of relief.

If Tsukasa Higashino insists on using Riko Hasegawa as the heroine, then there will definitely be a dispute between them.

It's not a good thing that the main creative team has a disagreement, and Higashino Tsukasa also has a lot of power, so he doesn't want to have a dispute.

Luckily, Higashino has shown maturity and is willing to take a big step back.

This made Honbashi Daohong a little comfortable, and at the same time, he had a new understanding of the person Higashino Division.

"Well, let's arrange it for Miss Hasegawa... Audition time..."

"I'll go tell her." Kuronomiya Mingsha, who had been listening secretly next to her, suddenly raised her hand: "I am an acquaintance with her." ”

It's actually very rude for her to do this, after all, it's the main creative team who is speaking, and she, as the original artist group, shouldn't eavesdrop.

Even if she was eavesdropping, she shouldn't have interjected and suddenly spoken.

It's like if you look at piracy outside, not only do you read the pirated copy, but you also have to say 'next time' on a genuine website.

However, because Higashino Tsukasa has been sitting next to Kuronomiya Akira to guide her about the skills of original painting, it can be regarded as a hands-on teaching, so the production team of "Midnight Bell" basically feels that Kuronomiya Akira and Higashino Tsukasa belong to that kind of too close relationship, so they don't care much about her sudden speech.

After all, Tsukasa Higashino is also a member of the main creative team, and this face must be given.

So Kuronomiya Akisa's sudden speech didn't make Motohashi Daohiro angry, he just smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll trouble you, Kuromiya-sensei." ”

As for Tsukasa Higashino next to him, he has no opinion on this decision.

He didn't want to blackmail Entubao, and the reason why he brought it up at this casting meeting was simply because Riko Hasegawa's dubbing strength was really good.

A few people talked and decided on the candidate and the audition time.

The audition was three days later.

And apart from the role of Reiko Asakawa, Tsukasa Higashino has no other opinions, and it is basically confirmed by the two of them, Daohiro Motohashi and Shimitsu Toda.

And so the day passed—

The next day, Tsukasa Higashino went to Tokyo Animation Production Company at his usual pace, but before he could take two steps, he saw Kuronomiya Akira standing by the door.

This surprised Tsukasa Higashino... Why is Riko Hasegawa not a snowman, but you are a snowman instead?

He stepped forward, and it happened that the other party also saw him, so he greeted him: "Mr. Higashino." ”

"Hmm... What about Miss Hasegawa? ”

Tsukasa Higashino looked left and right and didn't see Riko Hasegawa's figure, so he asked curiously.

"She gave up." Kuronomiya Akira shook her head and sighed regretfully.

Yes?

Tsukasa Higashino's mouth opened wide, his face full of incredulity.

I asked you to pull Riko Hasegawa over as a voice actor, and you persuaded her to quit with your backhand?

Feeling the incredible gaze of Tsukasa Higashino, Kuronomiya Akisa couldn't help but shrink her head, and it was rare that she didn't dare to say more to refute the other party.

It's just that this sudden result made Higashino Tsukasa a little unacceptable, so he couldn't help but continue to ask, "Why did Miss Hasegawa give up?" Why? ”

Yes, although I gave up, I have to give a reason.

"She said she gave up on her dream, and I didn't ask why." Kuronomiya Mingsa was a little depressed.

Okay...

Higashino didn't know what to say.

You didn't even ask why? If the other party gives up, you will give up?

Although Tsukasa Higashino knew that Kuronomiya Akira was usually a little untalkative, he didn't expect to be concise to such a point.

Although the character is demure, it seems that there are some types that have not been beaten by society.

"I can do it, Higashino-sensei." As if sensing Higashinoji's inexplicable gaze, Kuronomiya Akisa couldn't help but say emphatically.

"Until then... Senior Sister Black Palace, why do you keep calling me 'teacher'? ”

Tsukasa Higashino stopped Kuronomiya Misa and asked him a question he was more concerned about.

In the past, Kuronomiya Masa saw him and was basically a junior brother of Higashino, why did he suddenly change his words recently? Still respectful to yourself?

It's not at all like the attitude of college students towards their high school students.

"I learned the skills of painting from you, and it is only natural that I should call you a teacher." Kuronomiya Misa was quick to explain why.

In her opinion, Higashino Tsukasa is indeed the object she should study, although she is the same age, but she can't change the fact that her painting level is indeed one grade lower than the other party.

And she had said before, 'Please take me, Higashino-sensei'.

This is equivalent to apprenticeship.

Since she is the apprentice of Tsukasa Higashino, it is natural that she should be respectful.

After learning this reason, there was nothing Higashino could do. Even if Kuronomiya Mingsha didn't call him that, the other party shook his head and said, 'A teacher for one day and a father for life', showing a very resolute look.

This leaves Tsukasa Higashino somewhat speechless... I have an extra daughter of this age?

In the end, Higashino Tsukasa also called her casually, anyway, it was a title - the people of the Celestial Empire didn't care much about it.

But this incident can be regarded as refreshing Higashinoji's perception of Kuronomiya Mingsa.

He originally thought that Kuronomiya Mingsha was the kind of person who was quiet and calm, but now it seems that the other party is also the kind of girl with a little silly meaning.

However, refreshing the impression is refreshing the impression, Tsukasa Higashino still gave Kuronomiya Akira a dead task... That is, Riko Hasegawa must be pulled in.

Even if you can't pull in, you'll have to figure out why she gave up her career as a voice actor.

It's not that hard, is it?

And just like that, another staggering day passed.

The next day, Tsukasa Higashino saw Akira Kuronomiya again in front of the Tokyo Animation Production Company.

Compared with yesterday's full of confidence, today's Kuronomiya Akira looks dejected.

Higashino knew what the result was when he saw her expression, but he still had to ask: "What about Riko Hasegawa?" Mingsha? ”

"It didn't work out." Kuronomiya Akira shook her head very stiffly: "She said she gave up." ”

"Why?"

"I asked, but she didn't say."

Hiss...

Didn't she say you can't keep asking?

Higashino Tsukasa was choked by Kuronomiya Akisa's words, and it took a while before he came to his senses: "I'll go with you now." ”

If you don't go, you won't have a chance.

The audition time is the day after tomorrow, and this is already a waste of two days.

You have to let Riko Hasegawa get used to the script, right?

As for Riko Hasegawa's willingness? Tsukasa Higashino is still confident in this.

He was confident in his eloquence, and felt that it would be absolutely fine to convince Riko Hasegawa to board his thief ship.

But Kuronomiya Mingsa next to him couldn't help but glance at him more, and added incomprehensibly: "I think even if you go over, Mr. Higashino, it's useless, I can see that the other party really gave up, and her eyes told me so." ”

Higashino was speechless for a long time when he heard this.

If you can really read the eyes, you won't even be able to ask, okay, don't talk about it, and go hunting snowmen with your teacher.

He also understood that this teacher's shelf really had to be put up.

Otherwise, I really can't suppress Kuronomiya Mingsha.

And Kuronomiya Akisa, who was next to her, was speechless when she heard that Higashino Tsukasa had pressed her with the teacher's shelf, but she still felt that it was still difficult to convince Riko Hasegawa.

Tsukasa Higashino asked for a leave of absence from Honbashi Guidehiro, and then took the table book and walked in the direction of Kabukicho.

About ten minutes later, Tsukasa Higashino and Akira Kuromiya walked to the front of the sukiyaki shop.

It seems that it came too early, and the door of the sukiyaki store has not yet opened.

"Mr. Higashino, they have a backyard." Kuronomiya Akisa explained beside her: "At this point in time, Miss Riko should still be choosing vegetables in the backyard." ”

"Really?" Higashino Tsukasa nodded, thinking that you had asked a lot of information about this.

He and Kuronomiya Akira quickly walked to the backyard.

It's a standard Japanese-style backyard with a white fence about one and a half high, with a small wooden door next to which a small cart is parked and piled with vegetables for sukiyaki.

Before Tsukasa Higashino and Akira Kuronomiya got closer, they heard a low cough.

It was Riko Hasegawa's voice.

What are you waiting for?

Higashino Tsukasa reached out and knocked on the door and said hello, "Sorry to disturb, is Miss Hasegawa here?" ”

"Yes! I am here... That one... What's the matter, please... Ay? Higashino-sensei? ”

Riko Hasegawa was squatting next to the pool to choose vegetables, and her little hands were red from the cold, but when she saw Tsukasa Higashino standing by the door, she showed a surprised expression.

You must know that Tsukasa Higashino is her idol...

Even if she has given up her dream, she still likes to read Tsukasa Higashino's manga, especially "Winner is Justice", she has read it several times, and she dreams of dubbing Tomoko Daisa in it.

So she hurriedly stood up, wiped the water stains on her palms by the way, and walked over after a rough grooming: "Is there anything wrong?" Higashino-sensei and... Kuronomiya-sensei. ”

"That..."Kuronomiya Misa just wanted to speak, but Tsukasa Higashino had already spoken before her: "On behalf of the production team of "Midnight Bell", I sincerely invite Miss Hasegawa to come over and audition. ”

"Huh? Oooh... I know that. Riko Hasegawa showed a bitter expression, but quickly cheered up: "But I've already rejected Miss Kuromiya." I gave up. ”

Tsukasa Higashino had already heard Akira Kuronomiya say this, and the flickering loss on Riko Hasegawa's face was captured by Tsukasa Higashino.

He suddenly came to his senses - this Hasegawa Riko probably didn't really want to give up, but temporarily because of the frustration of reality, so she showed a disheartened expression.

Higashino still has the ability to read words and colors, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this point.

Good! Very good!

There is hope!

So Higashino took a step forward, his eyes concerned and sincere: "What is the reason?" ”

His voice was sincere, and his eyes were sincere all the way to Riko Hasegawa.

This expression is not an invitation to join, even if it is a marriage proposal, it is estimated that there are people outside who believe it.

But in reality, Tsukasa Higashino's idea is simple.

Don't say anything else! Today's snowman, he caught it!
