"The same period, the younger generation, the age, these don't matter."

"So what's important? I just like to be older than me. Miss Sakura looked up at Yu Murakami's eyes with her delicate fair face.

Yu Murakami's eyes are like lights in the distance in the middle of the night, and when you take off your glasses, it seems that the Milky Way is reflected in your pupils like a ribbon of light.

The more Suzune Sakura stared, the more she was attracted. After waiting for a long time, I feel like I am immersed in that Milky Way.

It's like an open-air hot spring in the snow, warm and pleasant.

In the blink of an eye, Murakami was like taking a sip of sake warmed by a hot spring, refreshing her heart.

The difference is that she seems to stand on the cliff of the ocean, the scenery is magnificent and majestic, which makes people forget to return, feel carefully, and it is all cold and lonely.

It's like this is the end of the world.

So Taneda Risa said:

"I think you still look good with glasses."

"Huh?" Suzune Sakura opened her eyes in the hot spring, "This guy in Murakami obviously looks good without glasses." ”

"Hmm...... Is it because I'm a glasses controller? ”

"Oh, I remembered! Risa: You also wore red glasses when you played some future anime, right? ”

"I'm so happy that you actually know about this, Suzune. However, everyone didn't think highly of me for wearing glasses, so I didn't wear them anymore. Murakami-kun is different, I think he couldn't be more suitable for wearing glasses. ”

"No, no, no!" Miss Sakura waved her hand, "Definitely not to look good!" ”

The director outside the studio said:

"I have an idea, Murakami-san took two photos, one with glasses and one without glasses, and posted them on the official Twitter of "April" to see which one the audience likes."

"It's a good idea, it definitely looks good with glasses!" Taneda Risa clapped her hands.

Miss Sakura pursed her lips and smiled and glanced at Yu Murakami, but didn't say anything. She didn't care if she looked good or not, she asked:

"Murakami, you haven't said anything important, have you? Just rule out an age for now. ”

"The heart of loving each other is the most important thing, and nothing else matters." Yu Murakami put his glasses back on, and completely lost hope for his eyes this time.

In order to prevent his charm from being too high, he deliberately did not improve his [acting skills], but now that he thinks about it, it is really worrying.

"Then how do you make sure that the other person loves you?" Risa Taneda feels much more comfortable with Yu Murakami wearing glasses.

"Entertain yourself?" Miss Sakura said in a tentative tone.

"Well, it's true that girls like humorous guys. How do you feel, Murakami-kun? ”

"What kind of boy do girls like, I have to answer this kind of question?"

"Of course!" Miss Sakura glared, "Stay in a studio, we're a team!" Say it! ”

Risa Taneda laughed a few times, "Suzune is really strict with Murakami-kun." ”

"She can only bully me." Yu Murakami was quite helpless.

"How can there be~~ Different people have different ways of getting along, how can I bully him." Miss Sakura finished spoiling Risa Taneda, turned her head and glared at Yu Murakami again: "Say it quickly, you!" Don't waste time! ”

Risa Taneda was amused again.

Yu Murakami leaned back in his chair, sighed, and his slender fingers subconsciously tapped the table with the rhythm of "Come And Get Your Love" (Star-Lord BGM), thought about it, and said:

"I haven't paid close attention to this issue, but from my personal experience, girls do like to make her laugh, but what she really loves and cares about should be to make her cry."

"Crying? Well...... When you think about it, it makes sense. Have you ever made a girl cry, Murakami-kun? Risa Taneda asked curiously.

"Yikes! It's too late! We've been talking for so long, so let's get into the letter reading session! ”

"Well, read the letter." Yu Murakami said, looking at Miss Sakura, who was sitting directly across from him in a panic.

Her cheeks were as red as fire, and her eyes were like spring water, and she was very beautiful.

So Yu Murakami's fingers, who had nothing to do, tapped boringly to the rhythm of "Jasmine".

The other two were rummaging through the envelopes in the script, and in the studio, all that was left was the "doo" sound of leisurely and quiet fingers tapping on the table.

Outside the studio, the director, assistant, and script writer nodded intoxicated to the rhythm of Murakami's percussions.

"Alright, now let's start reading the letters from the audience!" Miss Sakura, whose ears were red and completely unaware of interrupting a concert, took the letter and read, "[Yoyo, Taneda-san, Sakura-san, hello! Hello! ”

"Hello." Risa Taneda also nodded in greeting.

Murakami huddled in his chair, his right elbow propped up on the armrest, his fingers tapping his thighs rhythmically, his mouth off the microphone, his eyes staring at the studio's low ceiling.

The whole person has entered stealth mode.

Miss Sakura continued to read:

"[I'm a third-year junior high school student, just like Kaoru Miyazono and Tsubaki. I've always liked my classmate A-san since I was in junior high school, but when I entered the third grade, I was sad at the thought of graduating soon. What should I do? Do you have the courage to confess? Ah, to mention something else, I, A-san...... It's all ...... Girl?!!!! 】”

Yu Murakami moved his eyes down slightly to look at the ceiling, and saw that Miss Sakura was already in a state of great excitement.

Risa Taneda clapped her hands and laughed, "Haha——! Suzune is now completely furious, and the corners of her mouth are almost unable to hold back a smile! Ha ha! ”

Suzune Sakura carefully put down the letter, put her hands on her knees, bowed slightly, and said:

"I wish you happiness and I will send you a congratulatory gift."

"Haha~" Risa Taneda laughed breathlessly, "Suzune really likes lilies~"

Suzune Sakura picked up the letter again and reread it while making a sound of "oh~~ho~~".

"Two girls? Or a junior high school student? Murakami couldn't help but interject.

"It has nothing to do with gender!!

"That's it!" Miss Sakura slapped the table, "Although the reality may be very resistant, and parents and classmates will also have different eyes, as long as you are happy, it is enough!" ”

"Is it okay to be a junior high school student?"

Whether it is the anime "April" or the female voice actor who plays it, I will have a wonderful feeling that I am living on such a planet.

"That's right, that's right! When I was in girls' school, there were all kinds of girls! "Risa Tanada started as an example.

"Hmmm?!!"

Miss Sakura's eyes widened even wider than Higashiyama's at this moment.

Risa Taneda elaborated: "In girls' schools, there are interactions between girls and girls. Everyone didn't say anything. ”

"Where's Risa-chan?" Miss Sakura is like a puppy looking at the bones.,I hope that Risa Taneda can tell more information.。。

"Me? Well...... I've been confessed by girls.。 ”

With a "bang", Miss Sakura threw the script on the table.

The table slid down the smooth table top into Yuu Murakami's arms lying on a chair.

Suzune Sakura stared straight at Risa Taneda and asked:

"And then?"

"Ahaha~~ Suzune, are you too excited?"

"Say it, say it!"

"I refused."

"Ah~~~"

"At that time, I was still a junior high school student, and I didn't know any of these things, but I just regarded each other as friends, so I was very confused after being told the confession, so I said {I'm sorry} to the other party."

"En, En, En, that's good, the friendship between girls is also very good!"

"When I think about it now, I especially want to say sorry to the girl who confessed to me."

"It's okay! This will definitely be a wonderful memory for her life! ”

"I hope so. However, Suzune's mood is so high on the radio, and it is the first time since the broadcast of "April" began. Suzune really likes lilies. ”

"Ah~~, I hope there will be more letters like this in the future." Miss Sakura has a lot of aftertaste on her face, and she can't get enough of it.

"Ahaha! Suzune, your expression is so interesting right now! Sure enough, are the cherry blossoms (the same as Sakura) blooming? ”

"yes, hey, hey~~"

"Aha!"

The studio was full of strange laughter from girls.

After a while.

"Alright, let's read the next letter...... Huh? Where's my script? Strange, where did I go? ”

Miss Sakura crouched down and looked for her on the ground.

After the colorful broadcast recording ended, Yu Murakami cooperated with the staff to take the cover photo of the broadcast and the glasses photo to be sent on Twitter.

Before leaving, the director asked him to help retweet it.

Suzune Sakura and Risa Taneda have a promotional party for the second season of "Rabbit" in the evening, and Yu Murakami walks to the station alone, ready to go to the coffee shop.

As he walked, he took out his phone and prepared to retweet the tweet posted by the "April" broadcast.

His Twitter account has followed a lot of people and retweeted a lot of anime information, all of which are operated by Akira Ishida.

The most recent tweet was the news that he had signed a contract with the showroom live broadcast platform and was going to broadcast live on May 31.

Yu Murakami found the "April" radio Twitter, but the other party has not posted today's tweet.

So I simply opened the Twitter of the live message and passed the time by reading the comments.

Most of the comments are shouting [Yoyo], and there are also questions about [Who does Murakami-san like], [Are you in a private relationship with Sakura or Higashiyama], [How is progress with Nakano-san], etc., and even ask [Are Murakami and Yui Ogura reconciled].

Did he offend Yui Ogura? Or when did Yui Ogura offend him?

Yu Murakami can't recall the memory of which flavor of ice cream the little girl ate diagonally opposite the bus for more than ten years, and he can't remember anything about it.

I don't know how the outside world spread it.

He and Yui Ogura didn't know each other at all.

After flipping through the comments for a while, he cut to the Twitter of the April broadcast, which was released today.

There are four photos in total.

He wears one glasses and one without glasses.

The other two, one is that he is playing the electronic piano, and Sakura and Taneda are listening carefully with their hands on their cheeks - posing for photos;

In the last one, when a junior high school girl wrote a letter, Taneda and Sakura looked at each other affectionately, and he sat down in a chair and looked down at his watch.

The accompanying text is:

[Sakura-san thinks Murakami-san looks good without glasses, Taneda-san thinks he looks good with glasses (voting link);

pianist Yu Murakami performs live;

The two who are excited about the topic of lilies, and Murakami-san who has wanted to go home since the broadcast!

See you this Saturday, at half past eight in the evening, Sound Spring! 】

Yu Murakami retweeted the tweet to his own Twitter.

The broadcast was broadcast at half past eight, and it can be inferred that the broadcast of "April" was not very good - the prime time for radio broadcasting was between half past eleven and twelve o'clock.

With the success of the "Okinawa Chapter" CD, the number of viewers increased dramatically, and it was moved from 7:30 to 11:30 at night.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, he noticed someone following him as he walked into the station.

Looking back, four girls walking side by side were looking at him excitedly.

As Murakami's eyes stared at the past, they became more and more excited, and one of the little girls jumped inside her legs.

The other three also covered their mouths and looked at him with watery eyes.

These eyes are useless when they should be useful, useful when they should be useless, and they are not as good as chicken ribs.

Yu Murakami beckoned to the four.

The four girls pointed at themselves in disbelief, and only after Yu Murakami beckoned again did they cautiously approach.

"Yoyo!"

"Yoyo!"

"Murakami-kun!"

"Yoyo!"

"Hello."

Approaching, Qing Yue's voice almost made the four of them scream, but fortunately they finally covered their mouths.

Yu Murakami signed his "April" radio script with the art signature allowed by the firm.

"Well, although there is only one copy, I will give it to you."

The bob-headed girl standing on the right side of the center accepted it on behalf of the four.

"Thank you Murakami-san! I'm so sorry! The four of them bowed neatly: "We don't want to disturb you!" Everyone in the group said that when you meet Murakami-san on the road, you must pretend not to see it. ”

"Oh?"

"In this case," the girl who jumped to the ground just now said a little impatiently, "I didn't disturb Murakami-san's life, and we can let us meet you often!" ”

"That's it." Yu Murakami nodded, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Uh-huh~, thank you Murakami-san for the gift."

Yu Murakami waved his hand, and among the four {Yoyo is so handsome!} }, {I'm going to die in Yoyo's eyes!} }, {I want to push Yoyo alone for the rest of my life!} } and so on, not so small, in a whisper, into the tram.

Dispose of the useless script, Yu Murakami is also in a good mood.

The notebook followed him, and he could only eat ashes under the TV cabinet in Sakuraso for a while, and finally on a weekend when he was free, along with Miss Sakura and their delivery box, it was disposed of as garbage.

And give it to them now, the future is not easy to say, and it will always be free from the company of dust for a period of time.

On the wall of this tramway, there is a promotional poster of "Passerby Heroine".

On a downhill road, the senior sister played by Aii Nakano, and the Ying pear played by Saori Onishi, both of them are black stockings, long hair fluttering, and cherry blossom petals are dancing between the swaying skirts.

Later, it was Yasaku Sayuri who dubbed the so-called Bingtang Michiru.

Further back, there is the passerby heroine Megumi Kato, who can't see her face.

In the end, it's the actor who wears glasses, pushes the bicycle hard, and falls far behind.

Under this poster, the words {An Yilun also CV Yu Murakami, Kasumigaoka Shiyu CV Ai Nakano} are written much larger than the names of several other female voice actors.

Kasumigaoka Shiha is the heroine? Yu Murakami came up with the idea.

Not right either.

Although I don't know the plot after that, he also chatted with the original author Marudo Shiaki a few times, and the heroine is obviously Megumi Kato.

Then, the words "fraudulent propaganda" popped up in his head.

When the train swayed to the station, Yu Murakami yawned and got off the train with the flow of people.

The cherry blossom trees on the 300-meter cherry blossom road have lush branches and leaves, and the thick leaves are like boats.

Ido's blue bicycle for decoration still stands there, but the decoration and staff in the store have been changed several times.

Saori Onishi left his job at the end of April, and it was almost time for him to leave.

"Jingle Bell~"

The door was pushed open.

The new waitress who was holding coffee at the front of the bar whispered a few times to Tamako Kitagawa who was concentrating on brewing coffee.

"Tamako, Tamako."

"Huh?" Kitagawa Tamako looked up.

"Murakami-san is here."

Kitagawa Tamako looked at the door, her little face was still a little confused, but the moment she saw Yu Murakami, she immediately smiled.

"Master~~"

"You don't have to come out." Yu Murakami stopped her from running out of the bar and sat down outside the bar herself, "Have a cup of coffee you worked on recently." ”

"Is the master going to test me?" Kitagawa Tamako smiled sweetly.

"yes." Yuya Murakami said with a smile.

"Okay. Recently, I have researched a new kind of coffee, and I will definitely let the master praise me, huh?~"

"I'm looking forward to it."

Kitagawa Tamako hummed the song her dad sang to her mom and began to make coffee.

Yu Murakami watched her steps, unlike a year ago, Kitagawa Tamako no longer messed up the table when brewing coffee.

"Tamako has really grown up."

"I'm nineteen years old, master, and I'm still a year away from becoming an adult."

"Really? But I'm saying you'll never spill milk froth all over the floor again. ”

"Master~~~! I wouldn't have spilled a long time ago! You hate it! ”

Yu Murakami smiled, stopped bothering her, and turned to look at the seating area of the coffee shop.

The pothos is lush with greenery, there are customers in front of the bookshelves shopping for books, and the store is filled with classical music that Miko Sanada loves.

In the corner of the store, Miko Sanada hugged the orange cat and chatted with several ladies from Setagaya Ward.

"Master, okay, please taste it~"

Murakami turned around and picked up his coffee, which was depicted with azaleas in full bloom.

"The flowering period has passed, right, azalea?"

"No~, May isn't over yet, and there are still some more."

"Yes."

Yu Murakami took a sip of his coffee.

Kitagawa Yuzi looked at the master with a smile, "How about it, master, where do you still need to modify?" ”

"Hmm...... It's sweet, it's good, it's very nice. Yu Murakami put down his coffee, "Tamako is better than when I first came to IDO." ”

"Hehe, it's all taught by the master." Kitagawa Tamako bowed playfully.

"With your level, it's easy to get a place in the Island Barista Competition. In the case of the Worlds, it's not a big problem. ”

"Really, master, don't lie to me, right?"

"I've been scared a lot, but if I can, I still want to be an honest person." Yu Murakami took another sip of coffee.

"The master praised me, it's the first time, hehe~, is it to build confidence in the game?"

"yes." Yu Murakami took another sip of coffee.

"Don't worry, master~! I'm sure you'll win the championship trophy! ”

"What do I want that kind of thing for?" Murakami smiled.

"Yes, if the master wants, he can take it himself."

"What is the Barista Contest?"

"The first Sunday of June."

"Oh, then I won't see it."

"Huh? Why? Kitagawa Tamako was stunned.

"Tamako," Murakami took a sip of his coffee, "I'm going to quit my job here at the end of May." ”

"Why? Because the master doesn't come often, do you feel like you've taken more of Sister Miko's share? Won't be a master! Many customers come to the store for the sake of the master! ”

"Tamako, I came to IDO to work as a barista, just like a poor student who suddenly wanted to go on a trip, and was short of money halfway, and worked as an hourly worker in a shop for a few days.

One year, two years, when the poor student is studying, he can come here to work every year, but he always has the day of graduation. He had to find a serious job, live an insured life, or chase bigger dreams. ”

"The master should have made a lot of money, right?" Kitagawa Tamako didn't understand.

"Money isn't what I want, Tamako. It may be hypocritical to say this, but it is true. ”

"I know. The master has such good coffee skills, how can he be short of money. ”

After Kitagawa Tamako said this, she lowered her eyes, wiped the reflective desktop repeatedly, and remained silent.

"Don't be sad, Tamako, I'm just not working in a coffee shop. Like Onishi, I often come to the store to buy things. In the summer, I will also bring lotus flowers to your house to eat rice cakes. ”

Kitagawa Yuzi was still silent, and after a while, a sentence came out:

"I don't want you to go, master."

"I'm in Tokyo. I probably won't be able to go anywhere in this life. Yu Murakami said.

"It's different."

"What's the difference?"

"It's just different."

"Didn't I say it, I'll come again, Tokyo has such cheap and delicious coffee and desserts, and that's the only place to go." Murakami Yu jokingly said: "When the time comes, maybe you will be a fool, and you may not be able to pay if you don't pay." ”

"Master, you won't go to one place because something is delicious."

Kitagawa Tamako's tone was very determined, and she was so determined that Murakami had nothing to say.

Yu Murakami drank the cup of azalea, told Miko Sanada about his resignation, and turned to leave.

Miko Sanada watched Murakami go far away, walked to the bar, and looked at Kitagawa Tamako, who finally began to cry.

She sighed and stroked the head of the yawning orange cat in her arms.

"Sister Miko, I'm so sad."

"Some people are like that, Tamako." The orange cat's tail wagged leisurely, "They are so likable that they make you linger and reluctant, but they are stingy with feelings." When you can't extricate yourself, you suddenly disappear without a trace. ”

"Master is not such a person!"

Of course Murakami is not, but it is precisely because he is not that he is more ruthless. He doesn't need people to like him at all, he only does what he wants. If others like him, they won't be a burden to him, and he won't even have sympathy and guilt, Tamako. ”

Kitagawa Tamako raised her little face full of tears and looked at Miko Sanada.

"What should I do in the future, Miko-san."

Miko Sanada looked at the window and suddenly saw a handsome young man in a cheap suit, with messy hair, sitting in a precarious position.

He said: "My name is Yu Murakami, I graduated from university for a year, and I used to be a beautician. ”

Last year's cherry blossoms were particularly brilliant, if she remembers correctly.

"Yuzi, you are only nineteen years old, you are about to participate in the finals of the barista competition, you have the time and ability, to pursue the life you want."

Kitagawa Tamako froze and turned her head to look at the empty coffee cup at the bar.

"I've decided, Miko-san, that I'm going to be a world champion and let all the coffee drinkers in Tokyo come to our store."

"That's good." Miko Sanada said with a smile.

The orange cat in her arms, woken up by her master's movements, jumped onto the bar, curled up and yawned.

——————

Yu Murakami went to Kinokuniya in Shinjuku to read a book, and did not return to Sakuraso until the street lights came on.

"Yo," said Miss Sakura, "it's hard work, but Murakami-sama, a popular voice actor who also works at a coffee shop." ”

The people of Sakuraso don't know how much Yu Murakami earns, and they have always been puzzled about him as a super popular voice actor who is too busy to work in a coffee shop.

Miss Sakura decided that he was reluctant to give up that innocent little apprentice, and often mocked him.

"Resigned."

Yu Murakami sat down on the tatami mat and took out the fifth volume of "Grimgar of Ash and Fantasy" that he had not had time to read at Kinokuniya.

"Resigned? Are you finally willing to give up your little apprentice? "Miss Sakura came over with a fragrance that she had just taken a shower.

"Her coffee skills are enough to achieve good results in this island barista competition."

"So powerful?" Ai Nakano, who was grinding coffee by hand, stopped in surprise, "Kitagawa-chan is amazing." ”

"Isn't Brother You, who is the master, even more powerful?" You Mubi, who was playing a computer game, turned around and said.

"That's right~" Higashiyama said proudly, "I have been to that coffee shop with Suzun-chan and Ai-chan, and I have drunk the coffee brewed by Murakami-kun, and it is very-very delicious!" ”

"Is that so? But when it comes to coffee, I don't drink it anymore. You Mubi stuck out her tongue.

Ai Nakano grinds the coffee beans, brews them with boiling water, and brings a cup to Yu Murakami.

"It's okay to quit," she said, "and you're already working hard, and you have to write, and you can use the extra time to rest or exercise." ”

"Hmm." Yu Murakami adds two spoonfuls of sugar to his coffee.

"Murakami-kun, you, the master of the future barista contest champion, how do you feel about my coffee?"

Yu Murakami took a sip, "1350 yen." ”

"That's 50 yen more than last time?"

"The further you go, the harder it will be to improve, Nakano-san, I've said this many times."

"Well, you have the final say." Ai Nakano nodded convincingly.

Tamako is such a lovely person, and he shouldn't have anything to do with a rotten person like him, Yu Murakami thought as he drank coffee worth up to 110 yen.

Miss Sakura put her long legs, which were only wearing shorts, on his lap: "Murakami, I'm hungry, you can cook quickly after drinking~"

"Cooking?" Higashiyama licks his tongue.

"Cook!" You Mubi doesn't play games anymore.

"You two don't knock over the pot in order to grab food!" Ai Nakano said.
