Some people hope for something, while others forget it.

This is the honey of A, the arsenic of B.

In this way, the voice actor award that has long been lost in the memory of Yu Murakami, along with Marxism in class, has finally come.

Yu Murakami was shortlisted for three awards, one was the leading actor award, the second was the newcomer award, and the third was the award with the most votes just established this year.

Although in the end, he only won the newcomer award.

But weird, isn't it?

Obviously it's just a newcomer who has debuted for a year, and the newcomer award is counted, how did the other two awards get shortlisted?

Is it true that audience voting doesn't check Wikipedia? Yu Murakami's artistic age, it should be written very clearly.

After Akira Ishida relayed the news, he smiled a little uncontrollably, and said:

"It often happens that the six-year art veteran is shortlisted for the newcomer award; It is the first time that a newcomer with less than five years of artistic experience has been shortlisted for the starring actor award. I heard that the jury really voted for you. Murakami-kun, you've made history. ”

To this, Yu Murakami's answer was:

"Can you not go? You go and claim the award for me. ”

"Why not? Because of work? Peace of mind, I have already arranged it for you, today, tomorrow, two days, you will rest. ”

"Tomorrow is the award ceremony, I can understand the break, but what is the reason for today?"

"Shop for clothes." Akira Ishida knocked on the table and said as a matter of course: "Perm, thrush, buy contact lenses, as long as you can improve your image, you can do it." ”

Whether Murakami wants it or not, in short, on March 2 and March 3, he was "rested".

I didn't go to the dubbing studio or the radio studio for two days in a row, and this was the first time since winter.

Coming out of the office and standing on the street, he suddenly didn't know where to go.

Let's go to the coffee shop.

It's been a long time since I've been in a full class normally.

According to the information broadcast on TV, the full bloom of cherry blossoms in Tokyo this year is around March 27, so the current cityscape looks no different from winter, and at most there is a little more inconspicuous green.

Murakami was wandering slowly, and before he could get to the train at the coffee shop, Ai Nakano called.

"Murakami-kun, where are you?"

"I didn't know what to do next, so I had to go to work."

Ai Nakano chuckled twice.

"I got it too, Newcomer Award. Let's go shopping for clothes, right? ”

"No need."

"Do you have any clothes to wear for this kind of occasion?"

"Yes."

Yu Murakami remembered that he had stuffed himself in a cupboard, presumably a cheap suit that was full of wrinkles and could not be seen.

"You mean, the suit you stuffed in the cupboard, no matter how much you use the iron, you can't save it?"

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"Hmph. You've got that suit in total, and there's no place to hang clothes in the room, so it's easy to guess. ”

Ai Nakano was a little proud.

"I'm on the wargo side of Asakusa Station. Hurry up and wait for you. ”

Hang up the phone.

Buying clothes, Yu Murakami feels quite troublesome, but if you dress casually to attend the award ceremony, I'm afraid it will usher in more trouble.

The lesser of two evils, go shopping for clothes.

Take a bus to Asakusa 1-chome and walk for 5 minutes to Wargo.

It is a chain of kimono rental stores based in Kyoto, but it also has branches in Ginza, Skytree, Shinjuku, and Asakusa in Tokyo.

Yu Murakami walked in, and immediately a waiter in a kimono walked over.

"Sir, do you want to rent a kimono? For men, it's in ......"

"No, I'm here to find a friend, thank you."

"What is the name of the gentleman's friend? I can help you find it. ”

"Murakami-san! This way, this way! "It was Chixia Akasaki who shouted him from afar.

Yu Murakami said thank you to the waiter again and walked straight over.

This is an exhibition area for women's kimonos, and even though it's a Monday, a weekday, or the cherry blossom season, there are many people picking it out.

There are blonde and blue-eyed people, and there are also people who are also Asian but speak various Chinese languages.

As soon as Yu Murakami came over, it became a display that was more attractive than a beautiful kimono.

He had become accustomed to this kind of gaze.

"Where's Nakano?"

"Changing clothes." Chinatsu Akasaki pointed to the special changing room upstairs.

"Congratulations, Murakami-san, I won the rookie voice actor award in the first year of my debut. I heard that he was also shortlisted for the starring award and the most voted award. ”

"It's okay, it's not something to be happy about."

Yu Murakami set his eyes on the kimono under the lights, this area was different from what he had seen when he first entered the store, and it was obviously more expensive.

The waiter on one side saw that he was interested, and immediately introduced:

"Sir, this is the best women's kimono set at our store, and the price is 14,980 yen, plus tax is 15,580 yen. In addition to kimonos, we also deliver bags, geta, hairpins, and accessories, and you can also get a hairstyle free of charge at our store. ”

"It's pretty good." Yu Murakami nodded.

The waitress sensed that he was not interested in his introduction, bowed slightly, and slowly stepped aside, no longer bothering.

Chinatsu Akasaki smiled and said, "Murakami-san, there is a couple's set menu, and the price is very cheap." ”

The waiter immediately stepped forward again: "Miss, our store has five kinds of love courses, the price is from 5760 yen to 8760 yen, you can ......"

"Not me." Chinata Akasaki waved his hand: "It's him, and the one who tried the kimono just now." ”

Without waiting for the waiter to say anything, Yu Murakami waved his hand: "I'll wear a suit." ”

Not long waiting, Aii Nakano wore a cherry blossom-colored kimono and walked slowly down the stairs.

First of all, I was attracted by her appearance, with short and medium brown hair curled at the back of her head, a square bag behind a cloth belt wrapped around her waist, and her eyes seemed to be shining.

She frowned slightly, lowered her head and adjusted the cherry blossom hairpin behind her head, walked up to a few people, looked up, and saw Murakami Yu, so she raised her eyebrows and smiled.

As a result, the deeper beauty overflows.

The kind of beauty that can't be explained directly, like classical but not quite like it.

Before the two had time to say hello, Chinatsu Akasaki said:

"How about it, Murakami-san, our family's princess of Aiyi? Is there an urge to take it home, hide it, and secretly pamper it by yourself? ”

"Chinatsu-chan!" Ai Nakano is embarrassed.

Murakami smiled and clapped his hands: "It's like a spring flower." ”

"Hahaha."

The store was filled with Chinatsu Akasaki's unbridled laughter.

"Murakami-kun, you can rent one too, there are men's kimonos here, too." Ai Nakano said.

"No, I have to come over to change it after renting it, and it's troublesome to wear, so I'll buy a suit, and it will be useful to attend events in the future."

"Hmm......" Ai Nakano tilted her head and thought for a while, "Then I'll go buy a small dress too." ”

With that, she turned and went upstairs to change her clothes.

The three of them walked out of the store and walked towards the shop that sold suits and dresses.

In the end, Nakano Ai chose left and right and bought a small dress with black spots and a small shawl.

By the time she made her choice, Yu Murakami had no interest in continuing shopping, so she found a store and took a suit at random.

While he was looking in the mirror to see if it fit or not, the two women kept muttering behind him.

He turned and looked at them.

"Something is wrong in the back?"

"No, it fits perfectly." Ai Nakano's face was a little red.

"Yes." Nodding, Yu Murakami said to the waitress who was looking at him stupidly, "Come back to your senses, that's it." ”

"Huh? Yes! Oh, okay, okay, I'll wrap it up for you. ”

After buying clothes, Murakami Yuu dragged Ai Nakano to help bring them back and went to work in a coffee shop by himself.

In front of the café, the 300-meter cherry blossom road is rejuvenated, and Murakami remembers the scene of his first visit.

At that time, at that time, well, it seemed that there was nothing to say and reminisce about, except for being a little lonely and confused.

It's not lonely now, it's not confused, but it's a little too lively.

The blue model bicycle still stands there in the wind and rain, and Murakami pushes the door into the store.

"Ouch, who's this, isn't this Lord Murakami, why do you come to the store on a blank day?" Miko Sanada teased with a smile.

The customers in the store laughed, and Kitagawa Tamako and Saori Onishi were also snickering.

"The store manager is in a good mood today?"

While speaking, Yu Murakami walked into the bar, and Kitagawa Tamako smiled and gave him a place, and then ran to get him an apron.

"It's not as happy as Murakami-sama, surrounded by female voice actors every day."

Yu Murakami is used to Miko Sanada, and he doesn't take it to heart.

Onishi Saori stepped forward, and the ponytail flicked around the back of his head: "Senior, congratulations on winning the newcomer award." ”

"It's fine."

"I also voted for my seniors."

"Thanks, but not next time."

"Uh-huh~ Next time I'll cast for the starring actor award."

It is clear that Saori Onishi did not understand what Yu Murakami meant.

Murakami was too lazy to explain: "Go to work, otherwise the store manager will look at me even more unpleasantly." ”

"Senior, with all due respect, no matter how much you try to save it, it's useless."

"Huh?"

"Manager Miko Sanada's favorability towards you is already 0, and it is impossible to reduce it any longer."

"Onishi, you're still too young."

Yu Murakami remembered that he had a thousand favorability points with someone.

Saori Onishi wanted to ask why, but at this time, a customer had already come over and was about to order coffee again, so she had to walk away.

Kitagawa Tamako came over with an apron and saw Yu Murakami brewing coffee, so she directly helped him put on an apron.

Yu Murakami alternated his hands with the kettle, and put on his apron.

"Tamako."

"Hmm!"

"How's the last practice?"

"It's going well, it's improving every day, master~"

Yu Murakami nodded and asked no more. Yuzi didn't say much, and stood quietly next to him, constantly observing and learning.

After he finished brewing a cup of coffee, Kitagawa Tamako suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, please come to my house as a guest!" ”

Murakami wiped his hands and didn't ask what the situation was: "Don't go." ”

"Huh?"

The dumb hair on Kitagawa Tamako's head trembled, and she looked at him blankly.

"Your father doesn't welcome me, does he? I don't get along with him. ”

"That, master, my grandfather asked me to invite you there."

"Why?"

"The barista competition has entered the finals, and you said that you have taught me a craft, master, and the descendants of the Beichuan family will benefit in the future."

When she said this, Kitagawa Tamako was a little cute and bowed to Murakami.

Yu Murakami finally understands why Grandma Kobayashi in the Showa era liked her.

"It's normal for a master to teach a disciple a craft. Forget about eating. ”

"The ......"

Kitagawa Tamako scratched her head, not knowing what to say.

Busy until the evening, Yu Murakami prepares to leave.

"Murakami," Miko Sanada suddenly called out to him, "I'll broadcast the award ceremony live in the store tomorrow." ”

"Thank you."

"Senior! I'll keep the show down and go back to keep it safe! Saori Onishi said.

"Not really."

"Master, it's been hard today, be careful all the way."

"yes, okay."

Yu Murakami pushed the door out of the store, and on the night of March 2nd, it was still winter's territory.

On shopping streets, pedestrians either wear scarves or masks, and if they don't have both, they will shrink their heads.

There are none of the three, only Yu Murakami.

After 300 meters of cherry blossom road, at the corner, a man wearing a Kirito's cosy costume and carrying [Interpreter] and [Dark Chaser] (Kirito's weapon) stood there.

Is it coming again?

"Don't you feel like the world is too unfair?"

"So many of us voted, and we mobilized relatives and friends around us, and I also spent money to ask for help, but I still didn't get the starring actor award!"

"It must be shady with the judges!"

"And the most votes!"

"Blame some traitors among us, otherwise the first one must be ours!"

"But don't worry! Next year! All the prizes must belong to us! ”

"Please look forward to it!"

After "Kirito" said these words, he didn't perform the second knife flow, nor did he perform the starburst air flow slash, and turned around and left directly.

"Huh?"

What the situation.

Back at Sakuraso, the girls can't help but shout to celebrate.

"You can get the trophy tomorrow, what are you celebrating today?" Yu Murakami didn't want to move.

"Let's celebrate for two days." Suzune Sakura said it for granted.

"That's right!" Higashiyama pursed his lips and nodded: "Today is for Murakami-kun to celebrate, and tomorrow is Aiyi-chan." ”

"That's right." Yu Murakami said perfunctorily.

The living room fell silent for three seconds.

Subsequently, I don't know whose foot in the kotatsu washer and kicked Murakami Yuu. After a while, another kick of a different size came at me.

Yu Murakami, unmoved.

"Brother Yuu!"

You Mubi shouted, and then from the other end of the table, she wanted to take Yu Murakami's top out of the kotatsu. It's a pity that his body is too short, and his whole body is about to shrink into the kotatsu, and he didn't let Murakami out of the top.

"Huh?"

You Mubi kicked her feet hard and shouted, "Make a cake!" ”

"Every time I go to ido coffee shop, I can't buy the cake you make! A must-eat this time! Sakura Suzune hugged her chest and said menacingly.

"That's right!"

Higashiyama jumped up directly, hugged Yu Murakami from behind, and was ready to cooperate with Yu Mubi, wanting to drag him out of the futon.

"Isn't it a celebration for me today? Why should I do it? Yu Murakami pushed Higashiyama away, and this guy stuck his whole body up without saying a word.

It's too soft.

"Because you're the only one here who can do it."

"Refuse."

"Or else." Ai Nakano said: "You teach us, and then the four of us work in pairs to make two cakes with different tastes, and we can compare them." ”

"Oh!" Sakura Suzune slammed her right fist on her left palm and stood up: "Aiyi-chan, I want to be in a group with you!" ”

"I'm going to be in a group with Sister Aiyi!" You Mubi, whose whole body was no longer visible under the quilt, simply crawled out directly from Murakami's side.

Higashiyama also gave up on Yu Murakami and ran over: "I'm also going to be in a group with Aiyi-chan." ”

"Hmm~~" The winner of life, the true harem king Nakano Aiyi, held his cheeks and thought for a while: "Why don't we go in a group of four, Murakami-kun and you in a group, let's divide it into a men's group and a women's group to compare." ”

"Good!" Sakura Suzune rolled up his sleeves: "I've long wanted to compete with him!" ”

"That's right! Assassination Ninja, Hachitake Bi, Join! ”

"Well, I said, can I go to Murakami-kun's side~?" Dongshan is worthy of being the daughter of a councilor.

"No way!"

In the end, the winner was naturally not Yu Murakami, who made the delicious cake, but Ai Nakano, the strategist who changed the way and asked Yu Murakami to make the cake.

On March 2, Murakami stayed in Sakura Village and read a book called "The Young Pig-headed Boy Won't Dream of the Bunny Girl", wrote two pages of "The Love That Won't Come", drank three cups of coffee brewed by Ai Nakano, and went to the toilet four times.

At half past three in the afternoon, I went upstairs to change into a suit, and took a taxi with Ai Nakano to the award ceremony.

The venue was small, there were a lot of people, and the process was very cumbersome, and although the newcomer award was the first award, Yu Murakami had to stay until the end because of the need to take a group photo after the whole ceremony.

Sitting in the crowd, legs crossed, fingers tapping on trophies.

"Ah~~"

A yawn.

He's never missed a dubbing room full of female voice actors like he does now.
