The last day of autumn 2014, November 30th.

At 11:45 p.m., the recording of the commentary track for the fourth episode of "The Seven Magicians" ended.

"Murakami-kun, are you going to have lunch together, I know there's a very good rotating sushi nearby."

"No, I have another activity in the afternoon."

"Don't you have time for lunch?"

"It's a long way off, sorry."

"Okay, please be more safe on the road"

"Hmm."

Maybe Yumi Hara had something else in mind.

Or, she just saw that the time happened to be noon, and the broadcast production team did not provide lunch, and the two happened to be together, so she politely offered to have lunch together.

Whatever the reason, Yu Murakami refused.

There are three people involved in this matter.

One is Yumi, the second is himself, and the third is Yumi's unknown boyfriend.

Yumi Hara himself voted for eating together, Yu Murakami was against it, and the unknown boyfriend, Yu Murakami helped him vote against it from a man's point of view.

In other words, in this matter, two votes against and one vote in favor, the final result is naturally not to eat together.

It's good to cook.

Yu Murakami, a dish-cook, walked out of the building while writing "What Yu Murakami Thinks on the Road".

It's raining outside.

This is the second time it has rained in November, and the last time was on the 7th.

Yu Murakami opened his umbrella and walked into this strictly defined situation, which can barely be regarded as autumn rain, but in fact, it feels like it is in the rain curtain of winter rain.

Gangan Library's well-deserved strongest "Is there something wrong in seeking an encounter in the dungeon?", after a whole November of selection, the male and female protagonists came to an end.

What followed was the Winter Works Launch Conference hosted by Gangan Library, and Yu Murakami attended as the voice actor of the male lead.

The event will be held in Shinjuku at 2:15 p.m.

When the tram arrived, Murakami looked at the time, half past one.

He decided to go to lunch first and then arrive at the venue ten minutes early.

This way, you don't have to spend a lot of time in the lounge with other voice actors, and you don't have the impression of being late or sluggish.

Yu Murakami's current location is a noisy commercial street, and he doesn't like it very much.

After the traffic light, bypassing a coffee shop at the corner of the intersection, it is a much quieter alley.

It is said to be an alley, but in fact, it is just a commercial street dressed up as an alley.

Yu Murakami chose a random restaurant and walked in.

"Welcome, please take a seat inside"

The tone of the waitress is warm, and the bow is also standard, but it is too close to Murakami.

It seems that this store is not focusing on the culture of loneliness.

Yu Murakami looked at the corner of the store, ready to go there for lunch.

It's a pity that there are already people, still people I know.

Uchida Yuma, Cabbage, and Mizurai, in addition to these three people, there is a man and a woman who don't know each other.

I guess it's also the voice actor who participated in the event today.

Yu Murakami judged that he should only know them, and he hadn't reached the point where he took the initiative to say hello, so he naturally looked at the other corner.

There was a small table for two in this corner, and there was no one yet.

Murakami walked over, and the waitress immediately took a few quick steps to wipe the table again after confirming which position he was going to sit.

"Guest, what do you need, I recommend our ......"

The waiter opened the menu on the table, put it in front of Yu Murakami, and then bent over, introducing page by page, dish by dish.

Some are overly enthusiastic.

When the waiter was about to get closer, Yu Murakami directly ordered an omelet rice with a glass of orange juice.

The waiter left with some reluctance.

Yu Murakami opened the Goblin Slayer in his hand and read it slowly—this was the last volume, and at least he had to make it back to Sakuraso.

The omelet rice came up quickly, just as Yu Murakami picked up the spoon and was ready to eat.

The overly enthusiastic waitress said:

"Guest, I've been a maid café waiter for a while, do you need me to give you an omelet rice to cast the magic of love?"

"No, thank you."

"It's free, and by doing magic, you can triple the flavor of omelet rice."

Yu Murakami glanced at the waitress with light makeup and a uniform with towering mountains under her uniform.

How dare this man say.

Ordinary meals want to be tripled in deliciousness only through picnics and camping.

There is no logic or science in the magic of love.

Just as Yu Murakami was about to repeat the phrase "No, thank you", the waitress was already squatting at the table and began to chant "magic spells" without permission.

"Let's make it delicious"

"Let's make it delicious"

"Moe"

The right hand is drawn into half of the heart.

"Moe"

The left hand is drawn into half of the heart.

The left and right hands are close together, which is exactly a love heart.

Finally, with a "biu", the index fingers of both hands drew a bigger heart and pushed it towards the omelet rice on the table.

The waitress stood up.

"Guest, this omelet rice is already shining, and it is three times as delicious."

Yu Murakami looked at the mediocre omelet rice in front of him, and he didn't have any other emotions in his heart.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, here's what we should do"

Then you waiters have a lot of obligations.

After some twists and turns, Yu Murakami was finally able to calm down and eat his lunch.

On the other side, Yuma Uchida, who was attracted by the waiter's "magic of love", noticed Yu Murakami.

"Isn't that Murakami-san?"

"Eh" cabbage subconsciously looked at the door of the store: "Where, where"

"Over there."

So, there were five of them in their group and witnessed this grand ceremony together.

"Is that Yu-san Murakami?" asked the female voice actor she didn't know curiously.

"Yes, it's Murakami-san."

"Shall we go and say hello?"

Uchida Yuma hesitated for a moment and said:

"Forget it, Murakami-san doesn't like to eat with others very much, and he rarely participates in club dinners, so let's not bother him."

"Okay."

Korryo looked at the waitress who performed the magic of love, and silently wrote down {Murakami-san likes cute girls}.

According to Yu Murakami's original plan, he was going to stay in the store until two o'clock.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, so in order not to add more obligations to the waiters in this store, he quickly finished his meal and arrived at the event venue early.

Uchida Yuma and his party were still eating at the restaurant.

He found a corner in the backstage lounge and sat and read a book for a while.

"Murakami-san."

Yu Murakami raised his head, and what stood in front of him was not the cabbage who was most likely to come up and talk, but Mizurachi.

"Is there anything wrong with Mizurai-san?"

"I'm about Hestia's service, do you know about Murakami-san?"

"Just got it."

"Oh, it's okay, I came to Murakami-san because I wanted to discuss something with you."

"Is there a dubbing thing?"

"Well, that's fine."

"Okay."

Yu Murakami closes the book.

"This is the first time I've played the heroine of this kind of anime with a male lead, so I'm asking Murakami-san to maintain self-discipline until the dubbing ends."

Mizurai put his right palm at Yu Murakami and made a forbidden movement.

"Self-discipline"

"Yes."

"What do you mean?"

"In "Wrong Place", Hestia is a very jealous goddess, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I ask Murakami-san to keep a distance from other girls."

It's another Saori Hayami

Yu Murakami reviewed the full text of "Ground Wrong" that he watched some time ago from his brain for the first time.

OK.

Hestia's relationship with Bel Krone, whom he voices, is not sinister.

But that's not good news.

Because the relationship between the two is a little too close, in the eyes of the goddess Hestia, Belkroni is her private property.

It's also quite a hassle.

Seeing that Yu Murakami didn't speak, Mizurai continued:

"Like in the store just now, let an unknown woman perform the magic of love, please don't happen again, or I'll have a headache."

Yu Murakami looked at the girl in front of her, she had a pair of very bright eyes, and her slightly round face was full of seriousness at this time.

With a headache, he took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Yu Murakami has known a truth for a long time.

Things can't be understood from one side to the other.

Of course, this is common knowledge in modern times.

If you are in the modern era and cannot look at problems dialectically, even junior high school students will not be able to do it.

So, does the phrase "voice actors are monsters" still mean this?

Just when he didn't know what to say, Shui Laiqi on the other side continued her [monster] behavior.

"Of course, I, as Hestia, will not have any even a little bit of intimate contact with any man during the dubbing period!"

Used two {any}.

"So, please keep an eye on each other and don't let each other down."

Yu Murakami put the frame back on.

"There's no need to do that."

"No, no, no." Shui Laiqi shook his head firmly: "Since Murakami-san doesn't have contact with any women, I can't allow myself to foul." ”

I'm talking about {you restraining my behavior}, why your answer is based on the premise that I have already agreed

"Okay."

Yu Murakami agreed.

Anyway, except for the set of the animation "Ground Wrong", the two will not have any intersection the rest of the time.

And in the dubbing room, Yu Murakami has no intention of talking to anyone.

Murakami Yumu sent Shui Laiqi back to the female voice actor pile, and wrote the three words Shui Laiqi into the cooperation blacklist in his heart.

Gangan's 2014 Winter Presentation began quickly, and a total of three animations were released this time.

The general process is,The first link, each group takes turns to introduce the work,The second link is the three groups of voice actors on the same stage,And then do a few small games with content all publicity to each other。

The voice actor group of "The Work of the Dragon King", in which Yuma Uchida played the main role, was the first to take the stage.

The "Ground Fault" team and the "Goblin Slayer" team lined up in the background.

About twenty minutes later, the promotion of "The Work of the Dragon King" ended, and it was the turn of the "Ground Wrong" group.

Cabbage, who had just left the stage, did not return the microphone to the staff on the edge of the stage.

She walked up to Yu Murakami.

"Murakami-san, please use"

"Please don't do that, cabbage-san!"

Shui Laiqi stood between the two.

The cabbage is a little too petite on the face, a little overwhelmed.

"Mizurai-san, you and Murakami-san are ....."

"A little bit better than a stranger, but nowhere near the level of an average friend."

The water is a serious prayer.

The cabbage was even more overwhelmed.

"Shui Lai Sang! Murakami-san! Please hurry! ”

The staff began to urge.

Shui Laiqi hurriedly took a microphone that no one had used and walked to the stage.

Yu Murakami was about to follow, and Koryo took the opportunity to shove the microphone she had used in his hand into his hand.

"It's too late, please use mine"

"......" Yu Murakami: "Thank you." ”

This cabbage is a little too aggressive.

Yu Murakami and Shui Laiqi stood on the stage, and after introducing themselves, the host roughly introduced the two of them in the dubbing roles in "Ground Wrong".

"Murakami-san, please be self-disciplined."

The small voice of Mizulai prayer reached Murakami's ears.

Yuko Murakami glanced at her: her face was facing the audience, with a smile.

The girl must have been made of spices, jealousy, and something unknown.

In addition, he is also a natural drama spirit.

Host: "Please sit down with two voice actors." ”

There are three groups of seats on the stage, which are prepared for the second part.

Shui Laiqi did not choose a seat at the first time, but waited for Murakami to sit down and sat down next to him.

Moderator: "What is your impression or expectation of "Wrong Ground"?"

Yu Murakami: "The animation of "Wrong Ground" mainly tells the story of a boy and a girl who meets God and fights at the same time. ”

Moderator: "The summary is precise and concise, worthy of Murakami-san." ”

Shui Laiqi said proudly: "Yes, it is worthy of Murakami-san."

It is worthy of Murakami-san....

What exactly does that mean

As Murakami-san himself, Yu Murakami still doesn't know the origin and meaning of this sentence.

Maybe it's because he's not interested in this and never asks.

Host: "What about the water?"

Shui Laiqi: "Ask me that, it's the first time I've played the heroine of this kind of animation with a male protagonist, so I hope that when dubbing, all the factors that cause tension can be minimized." ”

Moderator: "Okay, thank you. Here's a recorded VTR, please enjoy it."

On the wide display screen in the back, the promotional video of "Ground Wrong" began to play.

The two also talked about the worldview, characters and the like of "Ground Wrong".

Host: "There will be some latest information next, on December 12th, on Nico and YouTube, there will be a live broadcast hosted by Murakami-san and Mizurai-san, when the original author and producer will be on the spot, and more behind-the-scenes details will be announced." ”

Moderator: "......" (500 words omitted)

Moderator: "I'm sorry for the too much information this time. ”

Moderator: "......"

Host: "Please dance to the audience when I promote, thank you"

Moderator: "......"

At this time, the BGM suitable for dancing sounds.

Shui Laiqi: "What type of jump"

Moderator: "...... hiphop......”

Yu Murakami: "......" (This is a wordless ellipsis.) ）

Moderator: "...... It's too long! There is still a side (swallowing a mouthful of saliva and continuing) ......"

Shui Laiqi waved his hands, twisted his waist, and stepped on strange steps, looking at Yu Murakami.

Really going to jump

Murakami's body didn't move, and his hands followed the water prayer.

"Murakami-san! Murakami-san! Please move your waist too! ”

"It's impossible!"

The two didn't use the microphone and communicated privately.

"Don't be embarrassed, it's all work! Please give up the shame of being bored! ”

“...... Shui Lai Sang is really mature, obviously so much younger than me. ”

"Please don't do this, Murakami-san! I'm only 17 years old! Still a high school student! ”

The voice was not loud, but Shui Laiqi's voice was fast, and his tone was full of disgust and rejection.

Moderator: "...... If you want to get more information in the future, please pay attention to the official website and official Twitter. ”

It's finally over.

The two got off the stage, and the last group of the first link was "Goblin Slayer".

Yu Murakami plays the role of a passerby in it.

Therefore, it is still necessary to follow the two protagonists on stage to make up the numbers.

The problem is that the organizers only calculated an appearance fee for him.

Host: "Now I invite the voice actors of "Goblin Slayer" to play, everyone applauds"

Murakami followed the male lead voice actor Yuichiro Umehara and the female lead voice actress Yui Ogura, who just knew their names, and went on stage.

Moderator: "Tell us about yourself. ”

Yuichiro Umehara: "I'm Yuichiro Umehara, who played the Goblin Killer in "Goblin Slayer", please advise." ”

Yui Ogura: "I'm Yui Ogura, who plays the goddess official, please give me a lot of advice"

Host: "I met you just now. ”

Yui Ogura: "Haha, yes"

Yui Ogura also starred in "The Work of the Dragon King", and like Yu Murakami, he made up the numbers in the first group.

Again, there is only one appearance fee.

Yu Murakami: "I'm Yu Murakami who played the gunman, please advise." ”

Host: "Ah, I just saw it a second ago." After introducing yourself, can anyone introduce the work to the audience?"

None of the three spoke.

Host: "Eh—there's no one you want to show?"

Yui Ogura: "Haha, have you noticed that when we were backstage, we already felt this atmosphere slightly. ”

Host: "That's it, that's it, senior!" The seniors came out as representatives to say a few words. ”

......

The other three chatted, and Murakami played with the microphone and took a sip of water by the way.

It perfectly inherits the tradition of {younger generations listen more and talk less}.

Host: "What is the role of your voice?"

Yuichiro Umehara: "It's not a character who talks a lot and can talk a lot. ”

Host: "Have you ever played a role that you can speak?"

Yuichiro Umehara: "Hey, no! ”

Host: "{Mountains!} Wow! What about such a character?"

Yuichiro Umehara: "I really want to! I've always wanted to say {Mountains}! But I don't have a chance to say. ”

The host pointed to Yu Murakami: "The one over there has been shouting all the way from {Mountains} since his debut."

The camera shows Yu Murakami, who is wondering if it will snow in Tokyo in December.

He picked up the microphone, nodded, and didn't speak.

Yui Ogura looked at his side face: "It's worthy of Murakami-san."

......

This was followed by a promotional video for Goblin Slayer, visuals, and a voice cast.

Host: "Hey, it's time for me to read the advertisement again, please jump up happily"

As soon as the BGM sounded, Yuichiro Umehara was already jumping up quite dedicatedly.

This was followed by Yui Ogura.

Yu...... Murakami

Pretending to watch the two of them dance.

At this time, the screams of female fans came from under the stage:

"Murakami-kun - Murakami-kun! Murakami-kun! ”

"Jump! Jump! ”

……

Yui Ogura heard the sound and turned his head to see Murakami paddling, twisting his body and taking two steps in front of him.

"Murakami-san~, come and go"

Yu Murakami was forced to open again.

After a while, before the long advertising time had passed, the host walked up to Yuichiro Umehara, and the two danced back-to-back.

When Yui Ogura found out about this scene, she looked at Yu Murakami beside her with surprise and expectation.

There were four people on the field, and the other two were back-to-back, wouldn't that be ......

Yu Murakami noticed her gaze and looked at the two of them dancing back to back.

Is that what it means for me to join in?

It's really annoying.

Yu Murakami bypassed Yui Kogura and walked between the two, facing the monitor, and the three men danced together.

Let's call it dance.

Yui Ogura, who was standing in place, collapsed in an instant, and he stopped dancing.

From this time on, until the three of them stepped down, she never showed a smile again, and it was not until the second ring began that she readjusted her mood.

Moderator: "Now all the voice actors of this event are invited, please"

"The Work of the Dragon King": Uchida Yuma, cabbage

"Ground Error": Yu Murakami, water praying

"Goblin Slayer": Yuichiro Umehara, Yui Ogura

The second part is a group challenge game, and the first part is to decorate a gangan library avatar with props provided by the staff, and at the same time, it must have elements of the animation in which they appear.

The result is determined by the volume of applause from the audience.

The Goblin Slayer, which pressed two bloody handprints, won.

In fact, the applause of the "Ground Fault" group is not small.

It's just that the virtual image that the two of them spelled out is abstract and weird at best, and garbage at worst.

Yu Murakami's [Painting Technique] has been stuck at level 1 9 experience points for a long time.

And the water prayer, if you have to set the standard, it is probably [painting skills] lv1:1.

It can't be more, and this experience point is also given for the sake of her ability to use a pen.

In the end, the host calls the shots and lets Goblin Slayer win.

The second game is {Guess the keyword}.

Each group takes turns to challenge, and the group that challenges guesses the key words on the big screen behind them.

When guessing, you can ask questions about the other two groups.

For example, if the keyword is "apple", the challenge group can ask questions such as "is it food" or "is it fruit", and the other two groups can answer yes and no.

It's a good game.

Whether it's another group of challenges, or your own set of challenges, there is room for laziness and stealth.

Yu Murakami nodded.

If the game of every activity was like this, he would be able to live 30 seconds more in his life because of less effort.

The first group is "The Work of the Dragon King".

Keyword 1: shogi

Cabbage: Is it a character?

Shui Lai: No

Yuma Uchida: Does it have anything to do with shogi?

Shui Lai: Yes

Cabbage: Can you touch it?

Shui Lai: Yes

......

Not only Yu Murakami, but even Yuichiro Umehara and Yui Ogura are invisible.

Keyword 2: primary school students

Cabbage: Isn't it cute?

Shui Lai: Yes

Cabbage: Young girl

Shui Lai: Yes

Cabbage: Elementary school students

......

Keyword three: Suzune Sakura

Cabbage: Is it human?

Shui Lai: Yes

Host: "Wait, wait, wait, Murakami-san also invites you to participate, why don't you let Mizura-san speak alone?"

Shui Laiqi looked at Yu Murakami and nodded: "Yes!" ”

Yu Murakami looked at Yuichiro Umehara and Yui Ogura, and began to envy in his heart.

No way.

He turned his head to look at the screen behind him, and was about to say yes and no to mix up the time.

Then, he saw the words {Suzune Sakura}.

Cabbage: Are you alive?

Yu Murakami: Yes

Cabbage: Are you an adult?

Yu Murakami: Yes

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! ”

Time has run out for the first group.

It was the turn of the two people in the "Ground Wrong" group to guess the keyword.

Yu Murakami took the microphone and walked to the center of the stage with Mizurai.

Moderator: "The challenge begins!" ”

Yu Murakami: "God." ”

Cabbage applauded: "Yes! ”

Second question.

Yu Murakami: "Dungeon. ”

The cabbage clapped desperately: "Correct! ”

The third question.

Yu Murakami: "Ribbon." ”

Cabbage stood up: "It's worthy of Murakami-san"

Host: "Hey, hey, hey! Let's open the plug-in! What's going on"

The voice actor and the audience laughed.

Fourth question.

Shui Laiqi: "Is it human?"

Ai Nakano is in "The Work of the Dragon King", and he knows that he will play a supporting role.

Shui Laiqi: "Is it really alive?"

Did Suzune Sakura also appear in "The Work of the Dragon King"?

Shui Laiqi tilted his head and pointed his left hand on his temple: "Nailing Gong San"

......

The event was over, and the Goblin Slayer group won the game.

Yu Murakami took a book and an umbrella and walked out of the venue.

It was dark outside, and the rain was getting heavier.

Today, December, and the real winter in Tokyo is just around the corner.
