At the YM office, the front desk lady was wearing delicate makeup and staring at the door.

Today is Monday, and after three weeks, will Murakami-san come?

It rained yesterday, and the weather was neither cold nor hot, but it wasn't until today, October 12th, that autumn seems to have really arrived in Tokyo.

Murakami-san should like this kind of weather.

It's hard for such an elegant and handsome person not to like autumn

However, is there any causal relationship between this and Murakami-sang's failure to come to the office?

No.

Not to mention three weeks, there are many voice actors who don't come to the office for three months.

But the boring front desk work day after day has to be a little expected, isn't it?

The front desk lady smiled, and outside the office, Murakami-san appeared in a white T-shirt with a Q version of the Coke can.

"Good morning, Murakami-san"

"Well, good morning."

After a brief conversation, Murakami-san disappears around the corner of the stairs.

The front desk lady has a new expectation - waiting for Murakami-san to come downstairs and watch him leave.

......

Saori Onishi stands in the rookie team with a work tag with her name on her chest.

She looked left and right with her eyes, and all the female voice actors were wearing makeup, but she was the only one with a plain face.

That's not good.

I never thought about makeup before, and she doesn't know how to wear makeup, but now that she is in the workplace, she can't do it without makeup.

In short, after going back today, let's start with a list of newcomers from the young ladies who sell cosmetics live on NICO.

Ah, I have to increase my expenses again, but fortunately I still have a part-time job in a coffee shop, otherwise I have to ask my mother to borrow money.

Just as she was thinking, a senior walked in front of her, and she hurriedly bowed with the rookie team.

"Good morning."

The man ignored them and went straight into the office area.

It's also everyday.

Standing with everyone and being ignored like this by her seniors won't make her mind too much.

Standing at half past nine, she had to leave first, and although the manager allowed her to work at 50 o'clock on Mondays and weeks, she couldn't delay it too long.

There was another figure outside the door.

Saori Onishi subconsciously bent down and bowed.

"Good morning."

This time, the rookie team was a little louder and a little squeamish.

Everyone, no, it's the female voice actors who seem to be trying their best to make their best voices.

"Good morning."

This voice is......

You can't go wrong.

Such a clear and beautiful male voice is only senior Murakami.

Oops!

Her bow now is 90 degrees!

You have to bow again!

"Murakami-senpai!"

Saori Onishi opened her mouth and called out to the figure who was about to leave.

"Hmm"

He looked back at her, and the rest of the rookie team looked at her.

"Good morning, senpai!"

Bow 180 degrees.

The horse's tail hangs down and hits the ground.

"It's Onishi."

"Hi, Senpai!"

"Do you still go to the coffee shop today?"

"Yes, Senpai!"

"Come with me later."

"Hey!"

Yu Murakami looked at Saori Onishi, who had been maintaining the posture of overlapping her upper body and lower body, and decided to end this chat.

He was afraid that Saori Onishi would break his waist when he was young.

Walking to Zone B, Akira Ishida was waiting for him.

"Murakami-kun, here's a copy of the audition script, you can take a look."

Yu Murakami took the file bag and pulled out the notebook.

"Is there really a problem with my youth love story"? Audition script

Hikiya Hachiman

He shoved the script back.

"The anime where Hayami-san served as the female lead"

"Yes." Akira Ishida himself has heard rumors about the two of them in the company, but he doesn't know much about it: "What is the unpleasantness between you and Hayami?"

"No, it's just that Hayami-san's acting style doesn't match me." Yu Murakami put the file bag back on Akira Ishida's desk: "Forget about this animation." ”

"The lightness of "Spring Things" is very popular, and I have seen some of it, although it is a very routine love story for high school students, but it is completely different from the ordinary one, and it is a very good work."

"Anyway, thank you Ishida-san for helping me get the opportunity to audition, but this time it's really over."

"Is there any reason other than Saori Hayami."

Yu Murakami shook his head.

"Alas~" Akira Ishida was silent for a while: "Since you insist, then forget it." It just so happened that I heard that the production team of "Spring Things" is short of funds, and there is a high probability that the picture will collapse. ”

It's true that there are not enough funds, but the main selling point of this episode is the plot, and the good or bad figures of the heroines are secondary.

This one can be fired.

This is Yuu Murakami's judgment, but he will definitely not say it.

He didn't want to have a dubbing studio with Saori Hayami, so he had to give up this path on his own initiative.

As for replacing Saori Hayami, one, he doesn't have the ability; Second, even if he has the ability, he won't replace the heroine he doesn't like because he wants to take over this episode.

Others rely on their own strength to get the female servant, what qualifications does he have to deprive him

He doesn't like people to cause him trouble, and at the same time, he doesn't want to cause trouble to others.

In this case, he was the only one who took the initiative to give up.

Although Akira Ishida felt sorry for Yu Murakami for giving up the audition, he didn't care too much.

Yu Murakami has good acting skills, the price is cheap, and there is no shortage of auditions.

"There's another audition going on here, do you want to try it?"

"Is the male lead servant?"

"No, it's a heroine. It's about the friendship between a few cute girls in a coffee shop......"

Yu Murakami interrupted him.

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I don't want to voice female characters anymore."

"Okay, okay." Akira Ishida could understand his thoughts, and he made this suggestion with the mentality of trying: "Then I'll leave the audition opportunity to Suzune Sakura." Recently, there have only been these two auditions, and you have rejected them, so you have to wait. ”

It's not a way to refuse the job arranged by the agent all the time, and Murakami thought about it.

"Ishida-san, is it wrong to seek an encounter in the dungeon, the audition of "Seeking an Encounter in the Dungeon" will trouble you to pay attention to it for me, I've been watching this recently, and I'm still a little confident in the audition of the male protagonist Bell."

"That's right." Akira Ishida's mood has changed a lot: "It's also a work in which Gangan Bunko has invested a lot of resources, and it's indeed an animation worth trying."

You relied on the popularity of "Sword Art Online" to become popular, and it happened to precipitate through "Ground Wrong".

When you go back, don't worry, I'll get you an audition. ”

"Well, thank you. By the way, Ishida-san, I heard that you recently accepted a new person. ”

"That's right, it's a kid named Saori Onishi." Akira Ishida was a little surprised that Yu Murakami talked to him about these things that had nothing to do with work: "She also graduated from the ABC training institute, and when she introduced herself, she said that the idol she worshipped was Murakami-kun, hahaha."

This kid is really lucky, the three examiners interviewed at that time, one is Murakami-kun, your agent me, and the other is your direct predecessor Nailgong San.

Because of this sentence, she scored at least three more points, which made her reluctantly enter the fifth place and sign a contract with the firm.

Later, when I inquired about all the newcomers, I learned an interesting story that happened to her, Murakami-kun, guess what?"

Of course, Yu Murakami wouldn't guess such a boring thing.

Akira Ishida didn't have any hope that he would take the initiative to cater to the topic, so he took the initiative to continue.

"In the audition for the graduation assessment of the cultivation institute, in order to match the sound of biting the senbei, she ate the senbei until she became constipated, and even ended up in the hospital, hahaha."

After laughing, he added.

"There is a shining point in this child that others don't have."

The rest of the information Yuu Murakami knows, only the matter of entering the hospital is not clear.

Going to the hospital because of constipation, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, is something you don't want to be mentioned.

Regarding Akira Ishida's view, Yu Murakami agrees.

Based on his observations during this time, Saori Onishi was indeed a hardworking person.

Working hard towards her dreams, Ai Nakano should like her very much.

By the way, Yu Murakami remembered that he promised to introduce her to Ai Nakano.

However, this is not something that must be done right now.

Now that Saori Onishi has entered the circle of voice actors, the meeting between the two has become a matter of time.

We'll talk about that then.

After separating from Akira Ishida, Yu Murakami walked out of the office area, and when he passed by the rookie team, he called Saori Onishi.

"Onishi, let's go."

"Hey! Predecessor! ”

Saori Onishi bowed to the rookie team and the office area before quickly following suit.

The two got on the tram.

Saori Onishi really wanted to ask Yu Murakami how long it would take to receive the first audition opportunity, as well as various rules in the industry.

However, when Murakami got into the car, he was holding a book and reading it, with no intention of communicating at all.

Just as she was thinking of the seventh way to speak, Yu Murakami suddenly spoke.

"Why are you looking at me all the time?"

"Ah" Saori Onishi didn't react yet, and subconsciously replied: "Senior, you are so handsome." ”

After saying that, she wanted to jump off the monorail.

Not because of shyness.

It's that when she says this, she doesn't use the right tone and mentality, just like reading a script without emotion (stick reading).

There is no doubt that Murakami is handsome, but Saori Onishi's focus has never been on this.

She just wants to learn technology.

"Senior! I'm sorry! I'm distracted! I didn't mean to say that! "That's right, Saori, you can take this opportunity to say what you think: "I'm thinking about how to open my mouth so that my seniors can teach me the skills of voice actors!" ”

"The office will arrange for you to be directly subordinate, wait patiently." After saying this, Yu Murakami continued to read.

Saori Onishi was a little disappointed, but quickly picked herself up again.

Murakami's senior's refusal to teach her skills shows that her loyalty is not enough, and maybe Murakami's seniors are afraid that she will become the second Yuu Murakami

As soon as he debuted, he played for the veteran voice actor and served as a variety of main officers......

Hehe, such Murakami seniors are jealous of my potential.

After all, I'm also the fifth firm.

Saori Onishi feels crowded train and becomes spacious.

Yu Murakami stayed at the café until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then left early, ready to buy a grinder for Ai Nakano.

After half an hour of train ride, I came to the address recommended by Miko Sanada.

The store is so small that if you hadn't come to look for it, you wouldn't have found this half-wooden glass door.

I pushed the door and entered, and there was no wind chime to notify a visitor in the usual store.

The inside of the store is spacious and crowded, because it is large in space, and it is crowded because it is filled with all kinds of coffee-related things.

From coffee machines to paper filters.

There is also a strong smell of coffee in the store.

Murakami walked a few steps inside and found the source of the scent - inside the bar, a tall, skinny uncle with long hair was brewing coffee.

He noticed Murakami's arrival, but didn't look up.

"See for yourself, if you want to buy it, come and pay the bill."

It needs to be concise and clear, and there is {don't disturb me} air around him.

Yu Murakami likes this shop a little.

He didn't say hello in particular, turned around, and began to pick up in the store in the mellow fragrance.

In the end, I chose a grinder that should be in line with the aesthetics of Aii Nakano.

The overall red color is a wooden box with a black grinding disc on the hand crank.

From a distance, it looks like a waterwheel, and a windmill can do too.

The portion is very large, and even if you don't have to hold the grinder with your other hand when grinding coffee beans, it won't make the machine drift to the degree.

Yu Murakami brought the grinder to the bar, and someone who didn't know if it was the boss took a look.

"13,500 yen."

Yu Murakami took out one sheet for 10,000 yen and four sheets for 1,000 yen.

On the other side, he was found a 500 yen coin, which was a little blackened.

"Isn't there any packaging?"

"Nope."

Yuu Murakami was like the king of Tota, holding the grinder, and took the tram for half an hour to rush to the recording studio.

Tonight there is a radio recording mission for Game Life.

Yu Murakami walked into the radio studio with a grinder, and Ai Nakano was looking down at the script with her head down.

She heard the voice and raised her head: "Good evening, Murakami-kun." ”

Yu Murakami nodded and put the grinder on the table.

"This is"

Ai Nakano had already guessed that this was a grinder for her, but she still subconsciously asked.

"I promised to buy it for you."

"I thought you were just joking, thank you~"

Ai Nakano was not too polite, and after saying thank you, she focused on the grinder.

Pick up the grinder, feel its heavy weight, and the love on your face is even stronger.

She placed the grinder in front of her, grabbed the handle with her hand, and turned it twice.

"What should I do, I want to go back and use it now." She looked up at Yu Murakami, who was quickly flipping through the script: "Murakami-kun, I'll make you coffee when I go back."

Murakami paused.

"I can't sleep when I drink coffee at night."

Ai Nakano tilted her soft little face and looked at Yu Murakami: "It's really strange, why do I feel like I sleep better with a little coffee~"

"It varies from person to person."

"Yes~" Ai Nakano shook the handle of the grinder twice, and said casually: "Murakami-kun, Murakami-kun, why don't you try it." ”

"What"

"Let's see if I can't sleep or sleep better after drinking coffee."

"Hah"

"Just give it a try~ It's okay."

"No, I'm the one who can't sleep."

"Oh, okay."

……

Broadcasting recording.

"Sprinkle ——, game begins."

Ai Nakano: "As is customary, let's play the game before the broadcast starts. Rock-paper-scissors ......"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Yu Murakami pointed to the script: "This is written on {Playing card ratio}." ”

Ai Nakano didn't look at the lines pointed by Yu Murakami, but looked at Yu Murakami with a smile: "But, the staff told me that the two of us can discuss anything on the radio." ”

"How I don't remember you discussed it with me"

"Well~~ This kind of trivial matter, I still think that Murakami-kun, as a man, should agree directly~"

Yu Murakami: "......"

He didn't know such a Nakano Ai.

"Okay, then guess the punch."

Ai Nakano smiled happily, and then went out of the cloth mercilessly and won the victory.

"Uh-huh~" Ai Nakano picked up the manuscript and read it seriously: "The winner of this time is Ai-san Nakano, and the loser is Yu-san Murakami." According to the covenant, Murakami-kun will play a game of punishment. ”

She glanced at Yu Murakami and continued reading.

"The punishment this time is, {please publish a secret on the radio, which has never been told to anyone}, well, everyone must be curious about Murakami-kun's secret."

"Secret"

"Uh-huh, and it must have never been published."

Yu Murakami thought about it, and he didn't seem to have any secrets other than crossing and system.

What was unexpected was a pure person.

It's not right, if you really want to say it, people always have secrets, but there are some things that are nothing to me and secret to outsiders.

"Then I'll tell you a secret that isn't a secret."

"Uh-huh."

"I'm at home, and I never look at the script."

"It's not a secret, is it?"

"Hmm"

"I know."

He forgot that the two were in a shared relationship. And after he took his script back, he kept it in the living room, and only took it out to look at it when he went to the recording studio.

And in addition to the paragraphs, the annotation of the words you don't know on other people's scripts, there are also hints about what kind of feelings each paragraph uses to dub.

For example, Dongshan 柰柟, her script uses the way of drawing hearts, indicating that this line must be dubbed in a tone of support.

And his script is still brand new after dubbing.

"I'm good at all kinds of instruments."

This is a skill brought about by the skill of [music], and Yu Murakami has never performed in front of anyone, although he himself has almost forgotten about it, but it is undoubtedly a secret.

"Well~~, if you play a musical instrument, you have to learn it from the teacher, then the teacher must know, so it can't be a secret, you say, Murakami-kun"

Yu Murakami looked at Ai Nakano.

Ai Nakano returned to him with innocent eyes.

“…… Nakano-san has a point. Then I'll change it. ”

"Uh-huh~"

"When I was dubbing, I was actually just pretending to look at the script."

"Oh~, I know this too."

"You know that, too"

"yes, I know." Ai Nakano subconsciously sorted out the script in his hand: "In the really beautiful crew of the moon, I haven't noticed it, but in "Game Life", don't the two of us play [Blank] often talk together."

In order to speak at the same time as Murakami-kun, I have been carefully observing your mouth shape and breath, and then once I found that the page number of your script and the dubbing lines do not match.

But Murakami-kun, you are really amazing, you memorized all fifty or sixty lines in a short period of time before the dubbing began. ”

Ai Nakano looked at Yu Murakami with admiration.

Yu Murakami looked at her, and then said, "Nakano-san." ”

"Well, what's the matter, the tone is suddenly so formal"

"Coffee ......"

"Hmm"

"I'll drink when I go back, so, whether this punishment game can be counted as me, I really can't think of anything you don't know."

"Puff~~"

Ai Nakano buried her head in her wrists and leaned on the table, letting out a victorious laugh.
