After chatting for a long time, Yu Murakami's [photography] skills have improved a lot again, and the wedding officially begins, and the bride and groom are ready to enter the shrine.

There are a lot of guests who came today, and Yu Murakami is not eligible to enter the queue.

Order: clergy, shrine maidens, bride and groom, with one behind them holding a red umbrella.

Behind the umbrella bearer, the man's relatives form a line, following the groom; A column of the woman's relatives followed the bride.

Risa Taneda is obviously her own sister, but she went to the end. I don't know if it's because I'm not married, or if I have an uncle and uncle in front of me.

In terms of atmosphere, as Higashiyama said, since the official start of the wedding, the entire shrine has been silent.

Coupled with the slow pace of entering the shrine - it is still a little faster than the normal walk of a turtle, so the process is very formal and boring at the same time.

When the procession enters the main hall, they receive the ceremony in silence, drink the sacred wine, clap their hands and pray, and wear rings.

During the dinner, in order to match the lively atmosphere, the bride wore a gorgeous "color hexagram" outside the white and innocent.

Starting with the cake "into the knife", I ate and drank and watched the taiko drum performance for a while.

After one o'clock, the bride and groom took the lead in going to the hotel for the indoor wedding, and the other guests ate until two o'clock before setting off intermittently.

"I'll just say it, it's troublesome." Higashiyama put his hand on his tightly pinched waist, feeling that he was almost tired of the kimono.

"What boring!" Suzune Sakura immediately retorted, "Exchanging rings under the witness of the gods will definitely make the marriage blessed!" ”

"Eun." Higashiyama {you say everything is right} nodded.

Miss Sakura looked at Yu Murakami and said in a questioning tone, "Murakami, how do you feel?" ”

"The pre-god style is not bad, it is very traditional."

"Senior, when you get married, what kind of wedding are you going to hold?"

Several people looked at Yu Murakami's face, waiting for him to answer.

Yu Murakami glanced at Saori Onishi, "It's okay." ”

"Eh——, it's too perfunctory, there's always a favorite one, right?"

Murakami was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Saori Onishi is ignored by Yu Murakami, just as she is used to ignoring Yuu Murakami's instructions.

She said disapprovingly, "Inori, what kind of wedding do you want to hold in the future?" ”

"I haven't thought about this yet." Shui Laiqi pressed his index finger against his smooth cheeks.

"What about you?" Chinata Akasaki asked.

"Well...... "Ai Nakano thought very seriously, "what should I do?" I prefer church weddings, but I always feel that there must be one in front of God, otherwise it will not be perfect. ”

"Humph!" Miss Sakura grabbed Ai Nakano's hand and interlocked her fingers, "I've decided, I'm going to marry Ai!" Hold a god-front ceremony! The location is at Meiji Jingu, so everyone is welcome to visit! ”

"Meiji Jingu is too exaggerated, just a small shrine." Ai Nakano said with a smile.

"No! I'm going to have a wedding at the biggest shrine! ”

Ai Nakano turned to Chiqi Chixia and said, "Chixia, have you discussed the wedding with your boyfriend?" ”

"It's been said, but it's not decided yet. In my own words, I want to keep it as simple as possible and not want to be too tired. ”

Higashiyama immediately said, "Akasaki-chan, I support you!" Reject the pre-god style! ”

"What about yourself?" Mizulai asked.

Under his small chin, Dongshan said proudly: "Of course, it's the pre-god style, the Western style, all over again!" ”

"Whew-" Everyone made a very disgusted voice.

On the way to the hotel, there were also such incidents.

[Monterey], not far from the Akasaka Glacier Shrine, a four-star hotel three blocks away from the Ozawa office,

When Murakami and the others arrived, the antechamber and arcade were already crowded. It seems that there are other people who are holding their weddings here.

Taneda Risa changed into a dark blue dress, with a thin neck and lace edges on the wrists, revealing her collarbones, elegant and sexy.

The indoor wedding is much the same, and the girls get together after the end, as if there is no end to the conversation.

It was nearly four o'clock, and the sun had reached the branches of the sycamore trees where the dead leaves had fallen.

Yu Murakami took a resting place on the first floor for guests and continued to flip through the remaining half of "The Wine of Eternal Life".

All the wedding thank-you gifts they received were piled on the chairs on the side.

In the next seat, there are also women in kimonos, chatting happily.

After reading the book, they haven't come yet, and Yu Murakami is stuck in idleness. Raise your left hand and look at the dial on your wrist, the hands pointing to 5:16.

How can a woman have so many words? Yu Murakami couldn't help but feel troubled.

Still, there is nothing to be done.

is like a powerful man who watches a TV series with his wife, and he doesn't even dare to change the channel.

It doesn't have to be a painful thing.

Thinking like this, they finally came over laughing.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? Sorry to forget the time. Ai Nakano said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter." Yu Murakami said, "It's just that what to do with your kimono, there are still ten minutes." ”

"Ahh

"It's over! It's over! I forgot that the time to return the kimono was half past five! ”

"Is it too late to go now?"

"I don't know, it's possible!"

They stepped on the clogs again and rushed to the hotel bus stop.

"Aren't you going?" Yu Murakami looked at Risa Taneda who was standing still.

"I bought that kimono, so I don't have to return it."

Yu Murakami nodded, when she was at Haotokuji Temple, she did see her wear a kimono today.

"Let's go. I'll carry it for you. The peerless beauty picked up half of the thank-you gift on the table and winked at Murakami.

Because he spent the whole day outside on Saturday, Sakuraso didn't go out on Sunday, and Yu Murakami continued to diligently paint "Swaying Travel".

Monday, December 14th, light rain.

Yu Murakami's work began by listening to the report given to him by the northwest. Today, it is still not surprising that meetings, meeting with guests, and approving documents are about the same.

When we have a meeting, we discuss the documents that were approved last Friday.

"President," Akira Ishida began, "the office doesn't have any extra money, let alone a training center and low-cost rental housing for newcomers at the same time. ”

"yes." The head of the department in charge of finance nodded approvingly, ""Swinging Travel" has invested most of the company's funds, although there are still some of them, but they are not enough at all. ”

Murakami listened to them.

"These things are brought forward every year, and although they are not done, they show that they are good for the development of the firm.

In that case, let's just set them thoroughly and make them the goals of the next stage.

Considering the current financial situation of the firm, we can put it next year, the year after, and in short, work in this direction. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Northwest immediately catered and said:

"What the president said makes a lot of sense! There is a goal and no goal, and the strength of struggle is different.

What's more, publicizing these things can also increase the voice actor's loyalty to the firm, and at the same time attract more excellent personnel to join. ”

The people below disagreed, but as long as Murakami didn't spend money indiscriminately, he didn't object anymore.

Yu Murakami returns to the president's office and prepares to do something on his own initiative, even though the documents were approved by Miss Sakura.

Today's island society is like a big dye vat of jealousy and slander, and when the employees go out to socialize and drink tonight, he Murakami's reputation that he likes to say beautiful things and is not pragmatic will spread.

And then all kinds of annual meetings, New Year's dinners, and soon the whole industry will know about it.

Yu Murakami doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him, but if Miss Sakura knows what happened, I'm afraid that she will lose her innocence and cuteness of "I can become the king of the imperial capital anytime and anywhere if I want".

This is much more important than his reputation and needs to be cherished.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number he hadn't made in a long time.

"Nakazawa-san, how are you doing?"

“...... Murakami-kun, help me. ”

......

After hanging up the phone, Yu Murakami took his coat and walked out of the office.

"Northwest, are you free now? Go out with me. ”

"Oh, okay!"

Driving northwest, the two came to the ABC training center. Masayuki Nakazawa was waiting for him in the president's office.

Nakazawa was dressed fairly formally in a suit, but his eyes were bloodshot and his ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

The two sat facing each other on the couch, with Northwest standing behind Yu Murakami.

"Nakazawa-san, how did you become like this?" Yu Murakami spoke.

Nakazawa Masayuki sighed, and subconsciously took out the cigarette case, "Bet on horses, you really can't touch it." ”

"Tell me."

"Murakami-kun, you also know, after the expansion of ABC, the finances have been very tight, and I, as the president, can't get much money at all.

And if you don't pay attention, you run the risk of not being able to repay the bank's monthly loan.

Later, I wanted to try betting on horses, in case I won, so that the training house would not have to be tense all the time.

Outcome...... Not to mention bank loans, at the end of the year, teachers' salaries and electricity bills were all lost by me. ”

Nakazawa Masayuki put down the cigarette case again, bent down slightly, looked at Yu Murakami tightly, and pleaded:

"Murakami-kun, I know that you are now the president of YM Office, and you must have money, can you lend me 10 million yen."

Without waiting for Yu Murakami to speak, he hurriedly promised: "If you survive this month, I will definitely find a way to raise money to pay you back!" ”

"Then why don't you just raise money to repay the loan and pay your salary?" Yu Murakami asked.

"This ...... Murakami-kun, please! For the sake of the past, please lend me money! I have no other way to go! ”

Nakazawa propped his hands on his knees and bowed deeply.

"I'm not going to lend money to gamblers."

"I swear! I will never gamble again! ”

"I won't believe the words of a gambler." Yu Murakami shook his head, "However, whether it is a bank loan or a teacher's salary, I can help you." ”

"Positive?" Nakazawa was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "How can I help?" ”

"I'll take care of these debts for you. The ABC Cultivation Institute naturally belongs to me. ”

Nakazawa Zhengxing's chapped lips opened slightly, and he said half-loudly: "Murakami-kun, you're not the one who took advantage of the fire to rob, right?" ”

"Don't get me wrong. I hate it when people force me to do things I don't like, so I will never force people to do things they don't like. Yu Murakami patiently explained, "You can refuse, I won't force it." ”

The office fell silent, and the sound of light rain falling on the road outside the window was clearly audible.

Yu Murakami continued, "After the ABC is returned to me, I will give you an annual salary of 10 million yen and let you continue to be the president. As for privately, Nakazawa-san, you will continue to gamble, or change your mind and be happy as you like. ”

"10 million yen? Are you sure? Nakazawa Masayuki's voice was a little hoarse because he suddenly spoke.

10 million yen a year, even if he doesn't gamble, runs the training center well, and is lucky enough, a large number of students have been joining, it will take about a few years.

After all, ABC fees are too cheap, and the salaries of teachers in Tokyo are high, and it is up to Yu Murakami to secretly borrow his fame from pursuing it.

Now the other party is saying that it sounds good, as long as he refuses, I am afraid that he will receive a notice of response from the court tomorrow.

"Of course." Yu Murakami nodded, "In the future, as the seniority increases, the salary will continue to increase." ”

"Good!" Nakazawa Masayuki gave up the delusion of operating slowly and making a lot of money in the future, "abc will be returned to YM in the future." ”

"It's not YM & Associates, it's mine."

Murakami was too lazy to discuss with the people at the firm about the cost of investment risk, whether to continue to hire Nakazawa Masayuki, and how to divide the shares of the institute.

Although he didn't need Saori's 200 million yen from Hayami, with his current savings, he couldn't pay off all the loans.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it survives this year.

By next year, with his fame and the YM firm, which is one of the best in the industry, it is natural that those who dream of becoming a voice actor will naturally give priority to the ABC training center.

"By the way," Yu Murakami began, "the name ABC will also be changed to ...... Acting Research Institute, forget it, add the word broadcasting, Broadcasting Acting Research Institute. ”

"The president just decides." Nakazawa said.

On the way back to YM, Northwest couldn't help but say:

"President, since you've already made a plan, why didn't you say it at the meeting? That won't make you look down on you! Especially Ishida-san, who doesn't trust you and is afraid that you will spend money indiscriminately! It's too much! ”

"It's okay."

Murakami leisurely looks at the increasingly busy streets in the wax moon, and this year has come to an end.

In the blink of an eye, almost two years have passed.

"By the way," he said, turning back to the northwest of the car, "when you get back, please sort out the voice actors who are still in the office but can't get any jobs, and ask them if they would like to teach." ”

"Okay."

"In addition, find the first-class voice actors in the club, let them take photos, and help promote it."

"Yes."

Murakami sighed: "The teaching model of the Broadcasting and Acting Research Institute also needs to be changed, forget it, let's talk about it when we go back to the office, anyway, this year is like this." ”

In the days that followed, Yu Murakami was busy with the work of the training center.

Replacement of the director of the company's representatives, signing of various documents.

Yu Murakami took Northwest's suggestion and sent a finance officer from the YM firm to the training center.

The next step is the change of the training center itself, the tuition fee has increased, and the opportunity to interview with YM has increased.

There are also teaching modes, such as regular visits to the set, public lectures by popular voice actors, and so on.

Of course, these are for next year, so this year we just need to come up with a proposal for what to do.

The leaflet was also made, and popular voice actors such as himself, Naimiya Mitsui, Saori Hayami, and Suzune Sakura took a photo casually, wrote a paragraph, and then made it look like a calendar and spent money on it in a best-selling magazine.

For example, the weekly magazine "Wenchun", which has the highest sales volume, does not need money and helps advertise for free, on the condition that it interview Yu Murakami.

"You went to Kamakura alone on December 5th to meet up with Risa Taneda, who was on sick leave, were you dating? Is it not sick leave, but pregnancy, as the outside world says? ”

"I'm going to invite her to join YM, and that's it."

"Who was the woman in the same taxi as you in the early hours of the night of December 11? Is it your lover? ”

"I don't know, drop by. Tomoyuki Morikawa, president of AXL-ONE, is more familiar than me. ”

"You founded [Tokyo Bay Records], and Saori Hayami is the only singer you have signed a contract, what is the relationship between the two of you? Lover? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Or are you married? ”

"Like-minded friends, I admire her professionalism."

"The last question is, why are you still renting a house in Sakuraso, now that you are the president of two companies and the president of one training center? Is it related to the three female voice actors who live in Sakuraso? ”

"I owe a loan to the bank now, borrowing 200 million from a friend. Would also like to live in a better place if I could. ”

“...... Are you not afraid of losing your identity as president by directly telling you about the bad economic situation? Aren't you afraid of going to a drinking party and being ridiculed? ”

"Ah, that's a problem."

"If you're willing to answer three more of our questions, we don't have to publish the answers we just had."

"I choose to be ridiculed. Come to an end. ”
