Mizurai's birthday was a rainy day.

The temperature is on the low side, with a maximum temperature of only 11 degrees Celsius, and a bitter north wind is blowing.

The other party didn't ask for a birthday present, so Yu Murakami ordered a large cake with several layers.

Because it was sent to the backstage of the concert, there were enough staff to worry about not being able to finish eating - it was not easy to divide if it was small.

Occasionally, she would get off the stage to change her clothes, and would quickly eat two bites of the bread without the cream, or the fruit garnished on top.

Yu Murakami sat in the seat of the relational and didn't have much interest in the song, so he looked at it as a fashion show:

Shui Lai prays for a while wearing gorgeous idol clothes, and a young girl's short-sleeved shorts for a while, and all kinds of clothes.

I thought that the birthday concert would end quickly like a stage event, but it turned out to be longer than a regular concert.

After an hour and a half, Yu Murakami finally couldn't help but fall asleep.

What woke him up was a sudden silence. When he opened his eyes, Saori Onishi was facing him on the big screen.

“...... You should feel grateful for the blessings of 5,000 people on site, inori ......."

is a recorded birthday greeting video.

After the release, Shui Laiqi let go of the hand covering his mouth, cleaned up his moving emotions, and said to the audience with a smile:

"Thank you very much for the video, and everyone helped me thank her. She's been very busy lately, especially by the president of YM, and as you know, the current president is Murakami-san.

He is also Saori's direct senior, and he taught Saori a lesson a few days ago, so Saori has been busy preparing for various auditions recently, and she has to take care of activities and broadcasts, which is really busy.

Even so, she still took the time to record a video for me, and I really want to thank Murakami-san, thank him for arranging Saori's itinerary and making time......"

Murakami wondered if Shui Laiqi was so excited that he was incoherent.

He didn't "teach" Saori Onishi, and he didn't know anything about recording the video, what can he be grateful for?

After this episode, another thirty minutes later, the concert finally ended.

After Shui Laiqi changed his clothes, the two and the others met up to prepare for a private birthday party.

It's not a coincidence today, everyone has something, only Yu Murakami promised, so he pushed things off and came to the scene.

At the dinner table, You Mubi asked curiously: "Brother You, how is the concert?" Interesting? I haven't seen it yet. ”

"Not a good place to sleep." Yu Murakami said.

It's good to get used to being noisy, but I'm afraid that the sudden silence will make it easy for him to wake up.

"A good place to sleep?" You Mubi repeated this sentence suspiciously.

"Murakami-san! Murakami-san! Shui Laiqi stood up directly from her seat.

After Yuu Murakami pays the price for honesty and Saori Onishi shows off her act of recording a video, Suzune Sakura talks about the previous incident.

"Today is Xiao Qi's birthday, I said I'm going to learn a driver's license, is anyone along?"

"I already have a driver's license." Chinatsu Akasaki responded.

"I can't get up, it's too cold in winter." Saori Onishi said.

"Things are so much better at the end of the year." This is the Higashiyama Persimmon.

"I'm used to taking the tram. If you have a driver's license, you shouldn't buy a car, so forget it. Ai Nakano said.

......

None of them went, and Miss Sakura looked at Yu Murakami, who had nothing to do with herself.

"I have a motorcycle." Yu Murakami tried to interrupt her thoughts.

"Look," Miss Sakura said in a soft, sympathetic tone, "you're the president now." Isn't it inappropriate to ride a motorcycle again? ”

"I only have money to ride a motorcycle, why should I be bound by the status of the president and pretend that I can afford to rent a parking space and pay for parking?"

Yuu Murakami and Uchida, who recently bought a car, often hear complaints about parking fees being too expensive.

Learning and applying it is one of his rare strengths.

"I'll help you out!"

"People always have to rely on themselves, if they can't pay, they can't pay, what is the reason why you help me." Yu Murakami shook his head.

It's not Sakura-sama's style to give up easily.

But now that there are many people, she can't be arrogant and coquettish, so she has to start reasoning:

"Now I buy a car for the convenience of going out on the weekend, and I don't usually use it. When the time came, I bought a car, took everyone out to play, and wanted to rest halfway, but no one helped me change it. ”

Yu Murakami pointed to Chiki Chixia, meaning that there is a ready-made one here.

"You ......" Miss Sakura endured and endured, raised a kind smile that was fake at first glance, and said to Yu Murakami, "Akasaki-san has a boyfriend, so he can't always be with us on weekends, right?" You have a driver's license, just in case. ”

"It's okay." Chinata Akasaki said, "My boyfriend recently went to Hakodate and won't be able to come back for a short time. ”

"That's right." Miss Sakura nodded, "Okay then, I'll have to learn to drive alone." ”

She said this with a smile, and then gave Yu Murakami the next one, only {Anyway, I don't have anyone to love, no one cares, let me go alone.} Maybe I'll be murdered halfway through, but that's okay, I don't care anyway, and it doesn't matter if I'm dead.

When it was time to go to bed and brush her teeth at night, she stood next to Yu Murakami and brushed her left lower tooth for a full five minutes.

Murakami sighed.

Miss Sakura bumped him with her thin shoulder, cleaned the toothpaste from her mouth three or two times, and said with a smile before leaving the bathroom:

"I'll wake you up tomorrow morning. The wake-up service of a popular female voice actor Oh, good night~"

Early the next morning, December 3, Yu Murakami was woken up by the national anthem of the island country.

Miss Sakura stood at the head of his bed, singing "Kimi-no-yo" in a tone that could not be said to be solemn or mournful.

He woke up with the phrase "moss-grown".

Because there are only 4 sentences in "Jun's Generation", and "moss all over" is already the last sentence, he didn't hear it and continued to sleep.

The result was good, and Miss Sakura started singing again from the first sentence "My Emperor is prosperous".

After listening to it for the second time, he slowly sat up and sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, staring blankly at Suzune Sakura.

"Good morning~" She stopped singing "Jun's Generation" and switched to gymnastics.

"It's half past four~" She jumped, her arms outstretched; Jump again, fold your arms, and repeat this three times, and then change the movement.

Touch the tip of your left shoe with your right hand and raise your left hand alof.

"The wake-up service of a popular female voice actor, is that so?" Yu Murakami buried his face in his hands, trying to bring his face back to the warmth of the winter bed.

"I said," Sakura replied to him in a gasp between gasps as she touched the tip of her right toe with her left hand and raised her right hand, "you wouldn't really expect anything, would you?" ”

Murakami sighed.

Yes, yes, you can't escape anyway, so just get your driver's license seriously.

After he made up his mind like this, the next day it was suddenly his turn to call Suzune Sakura.

She couldn't get up.

"Cold, cold!"

After a while, he shouted again: "My hand is sore, take a day off~, just one day!" ”

Hand soreness is due to the teaching and practice of cardiac massage, AED machines.

But if Murakami is not mistaken, after the two of them left the driving school, her hands should have returned to their original state.

And this is not to the labor intensity of the sequelae the next day.

"You said it yourself: Shui Laiqi said that you can't do it, so you have to show her. If she doesn't go today, in case she doesn't get a driver's license in a month, she will definitely talk about it in all the radio activities. ”

"Hmm-" Miss Sakura made a reluctant voice, but sat up anyway.

There are two modes of learning in the island country, one is the co-boarding system of concentrated learning, and the other is the general learning system of going and hopping.

The learning phase is also divided into two steps.

First of all, learn the laws and regulations, and by the way, practice driving in the venue, and after passing this step, you will get a "temporary driver's license".

With this, you can practice on the street and on the highway accompanied by an instructor, and at the same time learn other driving knowledge. Complete this step to get your full driver's license.

Rescue respiration also needs to be practiced.

Of course, just as each person is given a mouthpiece for side lung capacity, an artificial breathing device is also given to each person.

In short, it's not about giving you a book, letting you read it for yourself, and then going to the exam. Every student is required to attend the class.

After Yu Murakami decided to get his driver's license, it didn't matter if it was cumbersome or not, but now it was Miss Sakura who asked him to supervise him every day.

"You're like that," he said, "where do you get the confidence to get your driver's license in a month?" ”

Miss Sakura sat on the bed with a blank look, and after a long while, when Murakami thought she was asleep with her eyes open, she suddenly spoke:

"Put the socks ...... And clothes, hand them to me. ”

Yu Murakami glanced back, easily finding what she needed.

There are a lot of things in Sakura Suzune's room, but they are not cluttered at all, and they are completely two extremes from Higashiyama Persimmon.

The dolls on the bed were all sitting one by one, and none of them were leaning over - it was so neat.

He threw his clothes and winter stockings onto her quilt.

Suzune Sakura put all her clothes into the quilt and closed her eyes again: "I'm not sleeping, I'm just covering my clothes to keep warm." ”

"I hope so." After speaking, Yu Murakami took [Xingxing] out to buy breakfast.

When she returned, Miss Sakura naturally shrank back into the covers.

The clothes and stockings were really warm.

In the early morning of December, this scene is repeated.

On Friday, December 4th, the production committee of "Swinging Travel" was officially established. Major investors: YM Office, TV Tokyo, and TV Hokkaido.

The office where Mizurai and Ai Nakano worked, invested a small part.

In the afternoon, we had a meeting to discuss the investment, sharing, publicity funds, and which animation production company to choose.

Since the development of animation, there has long been a set of conventions in the industry, and they are all industry insiders, and things are negotiated very smoothly.

Next, just wait for the promotional visual map and PV to be done, and then you can start promoting.

Towards the end of the meeting, Yu Murakami receives a message from Yuto Otsuda.

Yuto Sukeda: Murakami, did you see the news?

Yuto Fukuda: The production team of "Halberd" has decided and is ready to change people

Yu Murakami: I didn't pay attention to the news of the film group

Yu Murakami: Does she know about it?

Yuto Fukuda: I only notified the office

Yu Murakami put down his mobile phone, and in the eloquent conversation of the representative of TV Tokyo, he remembered Risa Taneda in Kamakura.

When will she receive this message? Today? Tomorrow? What kind of mood will it be?

I hope that the news of the animation of "Swaying Travel" will make her not too lost.

"Murakami-san, do you think that's okay? If there is something that needs to be added, please feel free to say it. ”

"There's nothing you can't do."

This concludes the meeting.

In the evening, a radio episode was recorded.,Back at Sakuraso.,Nakano、Sakura and they were talking about the change of the heroine's voice actor in "The Spirit of the Halberd.。

Seeing Yu Murakami coming back, Suzune Sakura couldn't wait to say, "Murakami, have you read Twitter?" "The Spirit of the Halberd" announced the news of changing the voice actor. ”

"I knew the news, but I didn't read Twitter."

"Now the original important role of planting sauce is almost gone. Her illness has not been completely cured, and she cannot speak for a long time. Higashiyama sighed.

""Swaying Travel" can give her voice, a process of slowly getting used to dubbing. The rest of the industry can also regain confidence in her voice through this animation. ”

"Has the animation of "Swaying Travel" been completely decided?" Ai Nakano asked.

Yu Murakami nodded, sat down leisurely on the tatami mat, and took out the third volume of "After the Decline of Humanity".

"Great!" Suzune Sakura clenched her fists excitedly, "You have to tell the news about it quickly!" ”

Murakami was stunned for a moment, "You haven't told her about it yet?" ”

Although it has not yet been decided, this matter should be mentioned even as a topic of conversation.

"I only talked to Chong Sauce about learning to drive on Xiaoqi's birthday, and I didn't know about "Swaying Travel" at that time." Suzune Sakura took out her phone.

Higashiyama gently leaned on Suzune Sakura's shoulder and watched her chat.

Ai Nakano is in the standbook, and Yu Mubi is memorizing English words.

After a while, Sakura Suzune raised her head: "Didn't reply to me." ”

"Call and try?" Higashiyama immediately suggested.

The mobile phone "beeped" a few times, prompting a message.

"Is there no power?" Suzune Sakura guessed.

"Possibly." Dongshan nodded, and then felt strange, "However, Chong Sauce loves to play games the most, and it is impossible to let the phone run out of battery." ”

"I don't seem to have seen her chatting in the group lately." Ai Nakano said, "I prayed for a happy birthday to Mizurai, and it was immediately offline." ”

Sakura Suzune nodded and said, "I also chatted with her that night, but I've been busy with work lately, so I don't have time to chat." ”

"I have to hurry up and let Sister Risa know the news, so as not to be too sad." You Mubi said.

Yu Murakami stared at the second page of the book, looked at it for a long time, and then suggested:

"Tomorrow Saturday, I'm done with the matter, let's just tell her in Kamakura face to face, isn't it?"

"That's right!" As soon as he finished speaking, Sakura Suzune said discouraged and regretful: "I have an event tomorrow!" ”

"I'm going to take an English test."

"I have an audition ......" After a moment of silence, Ai Nakano added, "After the sick leave, many female voice actors, including me, have more opportunities for auditions." ”

"If you love clothes, no matter whether the sauce is there or not, the office will give you more and more resources!" Suzune Sakura comforted.

Although she was not wrong, Ai Nakano still felt a little guilty: "I really hope that the sauce can get better soon." ”

"Murakami," Suzune Sakura looked at Yu Murakami, "aren't you free tomorrow?" You can take a run. Be sure to tell her about "Swaying Travel"! ”

After saying that, wishful thinking that {Yu Murakami is a lazy guy}, she added: "No refusal!" You promised us! Said I would definitely go see her this week! ”

"You want to sleep in tomorrow, right?" Yu Murakami said.

"Not really! I really enjoyed the practice...... If you only practice driving, you don't have classes. ”

Miss Sakura does have some talent for driving, and she likes to drive, but she is so uninterested in laws and regulations, traffic rules, and other things that need to be memorized, that she seems clumsy on this.

Thinking of "It's November, I can't see you, it's lonely", Yu Murakami did not refuse the proposal to go to Kamakura, he looked at Higashiyama.

"What about you? Do you want to go together tomorrow? ”

Dongshan's eyes rolled, and his right index finger was under his chin: "Eh! I'm going to the studio tomorrow to record a song! I can only trouble Murakami-kun for you to run alone! ”

"That's it."

Yu Murakami continued to look at the second page of the single book in his hand.

The last time the two saw each other was in October.

The leaves in Tokyo are now all golden, and the autumn foliage season is coming to an end. As the weather gets colder, it's time for the two to meet again.

He flipped to the third page of the book.

"The Spirit of the Halberd" Twitter: [Erina Nagikiri] Corner Voice Actor Change Notice - Risa Taneda is on sick leave, and the substitute is Kanemoto Shouko

Yu Murakami Twitter: It's not yet a beautiful era that can end here.

——————

The next day, Yu Murakami came to Shinjuku Station.

"Please give me a ticket to Kamakura."

"Hello, if you're going to Kamakura, I recommend buying a one-day pass: you can travel between Shinjuku and Kamakura on the Odakyu Electric Railway, as well as unlimited rides on the Kamakura Enoden Railway. It only costs 1470 yen. ”

The ticket sales were a series of big pushes, and Yu Murakami asked her if she could get this ticket to Kamakura, and she said yes, so she bought it.

On Saturdays, there were either men and women or families on a short trip from Tokyo to Kamakura.

Murakami sat down in the aisle and watched "After the Decline of Humanity" all the way.

Transfer to Enoden at Enoshima Station, and you will arrive at Kamakura Palace in a short time.

According to Miss Sakura, Yu Murakami quickly found the house where Risa Taneda was temporarily staying.

In the exquisite wooden room on the first floor of the He's family, a peerless beauty who is so thin that she has completely changed into a person, is painting oil paintings on the sunlit corridor terrace.

Yu Murakami stopped, didn't bother her, and waited silently beside her.

During this time, he admired the maple leaves as red as the blood of Kamakura Palace, and looked at the back of Taneda Risa; Look at the back of Risa Taneda, and admire the maple leaves as red as the blood of Kamakura Palace.

Ignore the strange or unsophisticated gaze of tourists.

By the time Taneda Risa put down the oil brush, it was already afternoon.

The wind is blowing, and the mountains are a little cooler.

Risa Taneda got up to go back to her room and turned to see him.

It seemed like it had been a long, long time, perhaps longer than she had just painted, before she could speak.

"What are you doing here?"

Murakami smiled and said, "Look you're here." ”

"That's not true, is it? Tokyoites love to lie. It must be because there's an event here, right? ”

The more he went down, the more he couldn't control the feelings that Taneda Risa tried her best to suppress just now, and even cried in the end.

Yu Murakami doesn't know what to say, he has never been comforting.

I could only walk up to her and pick up the oil paintbrush and palette she had just used.

One stroke after another, like Risa Taneda just now, he also painted the scenery he saw.

It's as if everything has been exchanged, and now he's painting, and Risa Taneda is the one standing there in a trance.

It wasn't until he asked, that she came back to her senses.

"It's ugly."

"Not really, right? I've been reading it for a long time, and I'm sure I can write it with confidence. ”

"It's ugly."

"Yes, yes." Yu Murakami is helpless.

When he put his brush and palette back down and looked back, he realized that he really had nothing to say.

Risa Taneda closed her mouth tightly and stared at Yu Murakami, her crystal clear eyes full of tears.
