[The moon is dark and the fog is light, so I can go to Lang's side tonight. Socks step incense steps, hand gold shoes. 】

April 25, 2016, 4 a.m.

In the silent and unmanned corridor, Murakami Yu remembered the poem "Bodhisattva Man" written by Empress Li.

If Suzune Sakura came to see him, in order not to let others find out, she would probably have carried her shoes in her hands under the moonlight when she went upstairs.

That playful gesture, looking forward to seeing the girlish feelings of a lover, just imagining it in his mind, Yu Murakami can't help but speed up his pace.

Miss Sakura's bedroom door opened as soon as she pushed it, and the moonlight peeked in through the window.

Murakami enters the house, closes the door, and walks to the bedside.

The light quilt was flat and tightly covered at the chin, revealing only Miss Sakura's handsome and delicate face.

"I'm coming."

“......”

"Asleep?"

“......”

Yu Murakami turned and walked out the door.

"Wow"

He looked back.

Miss Sakura was still lying flat and asleep motionless, but a corner of the originally flat quilt was lifted.

Yu Murakami grinned and slipped in, and at the same time, Miss Sakura pushed her waist hard and moved herself inside, still with her eyes closed the whole time.

Only the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, because she couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and smiled.

When Murakami put his arms around her slender waist, Miss Sakura finally stopped pretending to be asleep and obediently leaned into his arms.

He put his arms around Murakami's neck and rubbed his cheeks against his cheeks.

Murakami felt these carefully.

Her bones are small, so despite the surprisingly thin arms, they are still very fleshy. The face is smooth and elastic, delicate like a daffodil under the morning dew.

Both felt intimate and warm, with comfort and peace of mind inside.

When Yu Murakami opened his eyes again, it was exactly half past six.

"Why did you wake up like that?" He looked motionless and smirked at his Suzune Sakura.

"I've been thinking that you'll be leaving later, and I'll wake up." Sakura Suzune turned her head shyly and changed the subject: "Have you thought of a specific way to do that?" ”

"I thought of it."

"What?" Suzune Sakura asked impatiently.

"Didn't I say it," Yu Murakami said, "It's something I caused myself, and you don't have to worry about Suzune." Pretending not to know anything, just help me. ”

"Okay. It's all up to you. ”

Yu Murakami left the quilt and leaned over to help her tidy up the quilt, covering her neck tightly.

"Thank you." Suzune Sakura blinked her pretty eyes with satisfaction.

Yu Murakami stared at these clear eyes and combed her bangs neatly.

"Suzune, I like you."

"Hmm~"

"Will always like you."

She didn't answer, she was going to sleep in this bliss.

——————

During the day, Yu Murakami stayed in the office in the morning to deal with things, and at noon he attended the opening banquet of "Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess".

He thought that Risa Taneda would stay alone in Sakuraso, so he called her over and attended a drinking party together, just in time for lunch.

In the izakaya, the general Akiko is busy making preparations.

"Fujiya, what about the ice cubes you prepared? President Murakami likes to drink whiskey with ice the most, how many times do you want me to tell me? ”

"Let's go!"

"Shochu is also good for chilling! Akiko, take a look at the kitchen...... Forget it, I'll go by myself, you go to the door to see when the guests come! Notify me immediately when you see a figure! ”

"Yes!"

......

"Is this it?"

"[Akiko House], it should be here."

The two girls were a little younger, like they had just graduated from college. They were standing at the door of [Akikoya], comparing them with the address on their phones.

"Go in?"

"Let's go!"

“...... I said, Aoi-chan, this is not going to the battlefield, so you don't have to be so serious with your expression. ”

"People are nervous!"

Shinomiya Kaguya, Koga Aoi, Fujiwara Chika, Ohara Yoshimi, after joining the line group of the crew of "Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess", the two became netizens.

This is the first time the two have met.

Although they are both voice actors, because their careers are not going well, even passers-by rarely get them, and the two have never met on the set once.

If it weren't for this kick-off banquet, the first meeting between the two would have to wait until the dubbing set of the first episode of the animation.

They came early, and at this time, even Akiko didn't receive guests in front of the door.

The two followed Akiko, a college student who worked part-time here, and sat in the seat where the voice actor sits.

The windows are surrounded by greenery, so the interior is slightly dim. The lights were lit up, a yellow and warm glow, and the long wooden table was as clean as glass, reflecting the light.

The Japanese-style chairs were soft and comfortable, and the two of them were slightly uneasy drinking refreshing lemonade.

"Mi-chan, do you think the superintendent will temporarily change their hexagram and change the two of us again?"

"No......" Ohara retracted her gaze.

"But ah, we're two completely unfamous, aren't we? Nor has he starred in any main service. ”

"Rest assured. The news has been announced, and in this case, there will generally be no substitution. Ohara both comforted her and increased her self-confidence.

After entering the voice actor world for so long, they suddenly got the main service, and they were still a well-funded crew, and the two were nervous, and they always had a sense of unreality.

In the store, Seiko Matsuda's single "Blue Coral Reef" released on July 1, 1980 is shown on the record.

"It's so old..... "Ohara's muttered softly.

"Huh? What did you say about Mi-chan? ”

"Nothing."

After a while, the two began to greet the staff and voice actors who came one after another, as if they were temporarily working in the store and doing the work of a hostess.

"Akira Akasaka-sensei, good afternoon."

"Oh, hello."

"Wakabayashi-san, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon."

More and more people came, from the original teacher, to the prop designer, and the art supervisor.

Fortunately, both of them have worked in convenience stores for several years, so if you bow for a long time, you won't lose to anyone's popular voice actors.

"Mi-chan!" Koga Aoi Lala Ohara's beautiful sleeves.

"What's wrong?"

"At the door. Inspector Mamoru Hatakeyama and Inspector Hitoshi Akitagawa! ”

"Hiss-" Ohara looked embarrassed and timid, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Go on!" ”

"Let's go!" Koga Aoi clenched his small fist and looked at death as if he were home.

"Inspector Hatakeyama, Inspector Akita, good afternoon!"

"Hello." Mamoru Hatakeyama nodded.

"Good afternoon, just call me Ren-chan." Akita said with a smile.

“...... Ren, Ren sauce. ”

"Hey, you old fellow, don't scare the newcomers." Mamoru Hatakeyama said with a smile as he looked at the female voice actress as if she was ready to face the dark side of the industry.

"I never get tired of seeing this little rabbit-like expression!" Akita Kawahito laughed.

After confirming that the other party was joking, the two female voice actors breathed a sigh of relief.

Akita Kawahito's kind behavior, I thought that I chose the two of them because I wanted them to get a job.

Ohara has been an actress for two years, and although she only has two passerby roles, her knowledge and personality are better than Aoi Koga, who only works at convenience stores and counters, and said:

"Thank you, Inspector Hatakeyama and Nisang, for giving us the opportunity! We will definitely work hard, and we have been reading the original book all this time! ”

"Me too!" Koga Aoi hurriedly agreed.

"It doesn't matter if you read the original book or not." Akida Kawahito said with a smile, "Everyone has their own way, and reading the original book can indeed understand the story well, but it will also be shackled." There is still a difference between anime and manga. ”

"We'll find our own way! Thank you Rensang! ”

"Me too!"

"Come on!" Akita Kawahito smiled and walked away with Mamoru Hatakeyama.

"Having a drinking party here again? Last time, "Swaying Travel" was too. You say Murakami-kun won't really have an affair with Akiko, right? ”

"Listen."

"What?"

"'Cyan Reef', Murakami's favorite song."

"...... so"

"Eh, I didn't say anything......

Koga Aoi and Ohara Yoshimi respectfully watched the two walk to the long table, and immediately relaxed.

"Mi-chan, that's great! Looks like we're stable! ”

"As I said earlier, there will be no more substitutions in this situation. This kind of thing is not allowed! ”

Koga Aoi was stunned for a moment and said, "I checked Wikipedia, and the investor Yu Murakami seems to be a member of the board of directors of [Haiyu United]. ”

"Liar?! So, the two of us aren't really safe yet? And the risk of expulsion and unspoken rules? ”

"I think someone in the group said that it was Murakami who ordered our eh, will it be ......?"

"Hahaha!"

The sudden laughter startled the two who were secretly talking, and it was a completely beautiful woman smiling happily.

The collarbone is very obvious, the face is thin, the waist is thin, the wrists are thin, and only the chest is slightly fuller.

Next to the beautiful woman who was so thin that people were jealous, there was a person standing side by side.

The man was tall, his hair was a little messy, and his handsome and white face had a shallow smile.

A pair of swarthy eyes were looking at them.

"Koga Aoi, Ohara is so beautiful?"

"Yes!" The two held their breath.

"Miss Kaguya, please."

"Yes!"

Yu Murakami turned his head, "Let's laugh as we walk." ”

"Hahaha." So, Taneda Risa laughed and followed.

"President Murakami! You're here! ”

"Akiko-san."

"It's been a long time, and I haven't seen you drink at night."

"I've been busy lately."

"I went to the second-hand store and found something. Listen, it's a record of "Blue Coral Reef". ”

"Good stuff."

"If you want, you'll ...... later"

"Whew-" Aoi Koga and Yoshimi Ohara let out a sigh.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"It's fun!" Koga Aoi wiped away the tears that came out of her laughter.

"yes!" Ohara Haomi also feels relaxed, leaving the showbiz for so long, her voice actor career has finally taken this first step.

"Murakami-san is so handsome! If only it were my brother! Koga Aoi said excitedly.

"Mmmm, more handsome than any male star I've ever seen!"

......

Yu Murakami walked up to the top, greeted the overseers, and took out a long box.

"Rensan."

"What is this?" Akita Kawahito reached out and took it.

"I went to Kyoto on my day off, and I brought you a summer gift."

Mingda Kawahito opened it and took out a folding fan, with a Kinkakuji temple on one side and a majestic [excellence] on the other.

"Yes, yes, I like it!" Akita immediately fanned his chest.

"It's a good match." Risa Taneda applauded lightly, smiling and praising it.

Akita Kawahito laughed, looking even more proud.

The banquet lasted two hours, and Yu Murakami took the "Blue Coral Reef" record given by Akiko — to be given to him next time he saw Ferry Voyage — and walked with Risa Taneda to a nearby station.

Risa Taneda looked at the window of the roadside store, her steps were light and she was in a good mood.

"Haven't the two of us gone shopping together like this?" She asked.

"Didn't we ride the bus together? Over there at Tokyo Tower. I also watched an amazing film. ”

"No, it's terrible! I'm still inviting you to instant noodles. Risa Taneda retorted dissatisfiedly, and then said with a smile, "It always feels like it was a long, long time ago." ”

She stared at the traffic lights and seemed to be reminiscing about the moments of that day at the Ebisu apartment.

"It's been a long time, it happened in September last year."

Risa Taneda turned her face, smiled, and looked at Yu Murakami carefully: "Do you remember so clearly?" ”

"yes. You also wore tracksuits that day. ”

"Oh-" Risa Taneda remembered this, "Aren't you amazed?" I tried my best to restrain myself that day, so I didn't do anything to me and left the apartment with regret? ”

"Yours is yours!"

"Not really!"

Both laughed at the same time, and the red light on the traffic light flashed, turning green after a few seconds.

Yu Murakami went to record the game voice of "Ground Error" in the afternoon, and at four o'clock, he returned directly to Sakuraso.

I checked the results of one day of farming Risa.

"It's getting better and better. Why don't you try to start your own work? ”

"Can I? Will it be too early? Risa Taneda looked hesitant and played with the pen in her hand.

"Why not?"

"Since you said so...... Then I'll try. ”

"It's okay, if it doesn't work, take your time, there's time. Hayami was also for a long time, and the manuscript was always returned. ”

"Hayami-san also wants to be a manga artist?" Risa Taneda said in surprise.

"I mean [Sahoto Ashisu] that she voiced in "Manga Artists and Assistants."

Taneda Risa nodded, "I'll ask the teacher for more advice in the future!" ”

"If you have difficulties, just come to me. What type are you going to draw? ”

"Teacher, you're the best at drawing landscapes and cute girls, so I'll start with daily love animations, how about it?"

The best at scenery and cute girls?

Considering that Murakami has only painted this kind of painting, there is nothing wrong with saying this.

"What kind of story are you going to tell?"

"Hmm...... Miss Qianjin was forced to go on a blind date, and met a teenager who cheated a woman of money with her face in Haode Temple, and then the two experienced a series of things, the heroine got rid of the shackles of her parents, and the teenager changed her mind, and finally came together! ”

"How?" Risa Taneda's eyes were slightly open, like a mad scientist with an explosion of inspiration.

"It's good, try it first."

"When the time comes, I will refuse other people who offer high prices, and hand over the animation copyright to you in the eyes of others who don't understand! In addition, the voice of the male protagonist can also be given to you! ”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is typical pipe dreaming.

"Thank you."

Risa Taneda's inspiration exploded, and she began to immerse herself in work, write plots, and draw character drafts......

In order not to disturb her, Yu Murakami took the book and went to the eaves of the atrium.

I didn't take the cushion, I sat directly on the floor with my back against the pillar.

The old cherry tree in the courtyard grows bright green leaves, swaying in the wind and sparkling in the setting sun.

At half-past four, Ai Nakano returned, and she was thinking about her plum wine.

Take the plums, which have been ventilated and dried since the morning, to the eaves.

"Murakami-kun, come and help."

"Okay." Yu Murakami folded the book and set it aside.

Ai Nakano handed him a toothpick soaked in white wine, and the two of them gave the plum a pedicle, and then pierced some small holes to ensure that the juice could flow out.

They are slow, enjoying the sunset for a while, feeling the evening breeze for a while, and chatting about endless topics.

From {Why do cherry trees bloom first and then grow leaves} to {She received a notification of an animation audition with a long name today, and she didn't remember her full name after thinking about it for a long time}, the two didn't talk about anything.

But most of the time it's Ai Nakano who is talking, and Yu Murakami always looks at the ancient cherry tree and thinks about something.

Ai Nakano doesn't care about him, and occasionally stops the topic to stop the troublesome [Xingxing] and the cat.

"Nakano."

"Huh?" Ai Nakano picks up a plum.

"Something for you."

"Hmm."

Yu Murakami retracted his gaze at the cherry tree and looked at her soft and beautiful eyebrows.

"I like you." Yu Murakami said.

At this moment, it seemed that the wind had stopped, and the sun was no longer sinking in the west.

She kept her head down, and Yu Murakami couldn't see her expression.

Time began to flow, the afterglow of the setting sun spread over the courtyard and the eaves, and [Xingxing] and the cat chased each other, both wanting to bite each other's tails.

Ai Nakano finally raised her head, looked at Yu Murakami, and asked seriously, "During this time, have you ever kissed other people, or even done that kind of thing?" ”

"Nope. I promise you. ”

Ai Nakano smiled with satisfaction, then shy as if she had just reacted, and stroked the tulip hairpin with her right hand.

Then, her eyes sparkled as she stared into Yu Murakami's eyes.

"Spring is a good time to start, when are we going to move out?"

"When did you say?"

"The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. But it's too late today, what about tomorrow? Ai Nakano asked expectantly.

"Okay."

She tentatively asked for advice: "Then the two of us will take a leave of absence together tomorrow?" Looking for a house? ”

"No problem."

"That's right!" Ai Nakano happily clasped her hands together, "Let's rent a house first, and then decide where to buy it when we get married." ”

"It's all up to you."
