In October 2015, time slowed down suddenly, second by second, and gradually suffered.

At two o'clock in the morning on the fifth day, Murakami was inexplicably hot.

He lifted the covers, put his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling, his mind blank—he didn't know how much he was thinking at this time, as far as he could remember.

The light came on in the bedroom, and all of a sudden.

Yu Murakami waited for the phone to go dark before reaching out to pick it up.

Farming came to see me

The phone dimmed again in his hand, and Yuu Murakami got up. After changing his clothes, he quietly pushed out the motorcycle and went to the hospital.

The light sign of Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital is very inconspicuous in the colorful city of Tokyo.

Murakami parked his car, entered through the night entrance, went up to the second floor, and crossed the corridor between the buildings to arrive at Risa Taneda's ward.

There was no light in the ward, and the night outside the window shone in, painting the room with a silver glow.

Yumitsu Murakami saw a figure sitting on a hospital bed.

He reached for the light.

"Don't open it" Taneda Risa stopped him, and her voice was more hoarse than during the day.

She tried to clear her throat, but in the end she didn't get out of it.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not getting worse that fast." She laughed and said, "I'm crying." ”

Yu Murakami sat down on the chair next to her pillow without saying a word.

"It's really strange, Murakami-kun, you said that people are fine, why do you become fragile as soon as you enter the hospital? I couldn't sleep just now, and as soon as I touched my head on the pillow, tears flowed out by myself. ”

"So you're just sitting?"

"yes." After a while, she seemed to be asking Yu Murakami, and as if asking herself, "Why am I the one who gets sick?" ”

"Who made you beautiful."

"Since I'm beautiful, why didn't you look at me from the beginning? Aren't you afraid that you won't see it in the future? ”

Yu Murakami stopped looking at the view outside the window and looked at Risa Taneda.

She wore a hospital gown, with a deep autumn mood, and a light blue kimono jacket on the outside, as weak as a miscanthus grass.

But like this, she is more and more beautiful and touching, which makes people pity.

"It's beautiful." Yu Murakami praised from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm sorry to let you come here so late." Risa Taneda whispered to him.

"I can't sleep anyway."

"Just now, I don't know why, I want to see you anyway."

"Didn't the doctor say that the chance of undifferentiated carcinoma is very small."

Risa Taneda's answer was unexpected by Yu Murakami, she said, "It doesn't matter if you die or not, I don't care, what I'm afraid of is that if you live, you won't be able to continue your work as a voice actor." ”

"Is the job of a voice actor so important?" Yu Murakami asked, "You can become an art teacher, and maybe you can regain your dream of being a manga artist." ”

"I'm not a voice actor, I don't have any income, so I have to go home and live. Will you come back to see me then? ”

"Absolutely."

"Liar." Risa Taneda's gaze was lonelier than the moonlight outside the window, "You didn't even ask me where my home was." ”

The heat that had been blown away by the bike just now swept in again, and Murakami was silent.

There was silence in the room for a few minutes, and the two continued to talk as if nothing had happened.

Risa Taneda talked to him about the meals in the hospital, which were delicious and delicious, but they were not full.

"I asked the nurse for advice, but she said that she had to strictly control food intake, and she dismissed me. Really, who do you look down on? My body shape has always remained perfect no matter how I eat! ”

"That's it, you're amazingly talented." Yu Murakami smiled and responded.

"And this ward, a lot of money a day. After I was discharged from the hospital, I don't know if the ward office will be reimbursed, but if I only reimburse the money for medical treatment, what should I do? Taneda Risa sighed.

"Are you short of money?"

"No, of course! Now it's all the money from the family, if I don't pay it back, my mother will have a reason to let me go on a blind date, not allowed to see you, etc., things I don't like. ”

"Then you have to get well quickly, as far as I know, the cost of the ward is not covered by national insurance." Murakami hesitated for a while, and didn't say anything about her mother crying and letting herself come to visit her more.

"Ahh Must be changed! When dawn comes, I'm going to go to the most ordinary ward! ”

"There's no need for that, is it?"

"It is necessary! Why is it necessary! ”

……

The two chatted intermittently until four o'clock, and Yu Murakami said goodbye and left.

"Murakami, do you want to die with me?"

"What did you say?"

Yu Murakami turned around, and Risa Taneda had her back to him, already lying down.

——————

The morning fog was misty, and the roadside lights were still on.

At the Women's Medical University opposite the hospital, there are already students running in the morning.

"Female Medical University!" "Come on!"

"Female Medical University!" "Come on!"

Seven or eight schoolgirls in kendo uniforms, lined up neatly, ran over shouting slogans.

Yu Murakami parked his motorcycle on the side of the road and bought breakfast in front of a newsstand-like building.

"Give me a pan-fried ham cheese bread."

"170 yen, 200 yen, here are one, two, three 10 yen coins, please keep them. Thank you for your patronage. ”

Putting the coin in his trouser pocket, Yu Murakami was on the side of the road, eating bread while staring at the words Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital.

When the black Yamaha drove into the fog, the first train on the Toei Oedo Line on one side also departed.

The time was about half past four.

Back at Sakuraso, no one had gotten up yet, so Yuu Murakami went into his room and continued to lie on the bed in a daze.

It wasn't until You Mubi came and knocked on the door that he came back to his senses.

Going downstairs and into the bathroom, everyone looked worried.

"I don't know when the test results will come out." Suzune Sakura said.

"Probably in the afternoon." Dongshan said with a worried face, "I hope everything is fine with the sauce, not the last one." ”

Ai Nakano comforted her, "It's okay, didn't we talk to the doctor for a long time last night?" One-third of people in South Korea have thyroid cancer, which is known as "cancer of the immortals". And timely detection will not affect life expectancy. Rest assured. ”

"Hmm." Dongshan nodded, "Let's go and see the sauce together this afternoon, right?" ”

"Okay. When the time comes, whoever finishes his work first will go first. ”

"I'm going too, I'm going to visit Sister Lisha too!" You Mubi raised her hand.

By October, Yuu Murakami's anime dubbing tasks began to decrease - the October part ended, and the January part has not yet begun.

During this time, it was mainly dominated by various promotional activities, animated broadcasts, and sub-audio tracks.

On the morning of October 5, he was invited to participate in a school cultural festival, as a guest of honor, and presented awards to outstanding clubs.

The name of the school is Ushigome Junior High School, and it is located close to Waseda, and the admission rate is quite acceptable among all high schools in Tokyo.

Compared with high schools with a high admission rate, club activities are more abundant; Compared with the abundance of club activities, the admission rate is better, and the two achieve a clever balance.

These words all came from the mouth of the principal who sat on the edge of Murakami.

After the award ceremony, Yu Murakami signed the fans, and it was already twelve o'clock.

He asked a male student where he could buy comics recently.

After walking down the street for ten minutes, I found the unremarkable bookstore that seemed to be visible on any street in the shopping street across from a gas station.

On the small blackboard in front of the store, it reads

The weekly "Wenchun" is released every Thursday - a preview of "The Constellation Analysis of the New King of the Voice Actor World: Yu Murakami!! What zodiac sign of women is the best match for him!! 》。

Today's new article Fangbunsha comic monthly, weekly magazine "New Trend".

Yu Murakami walked in and bought a monthly manga magazine.

In a small corner of the other comic book characters on the cover, the words ""Swinging Travel" are written in red letters.

The treatment is very different from the small blackboard, after all, one is the new king Yu Murakami, and the other is the comic newcomer Haruki Murakami.

When it was time to settle the bill, the clerk gave him change, took a coin, and looked up at him. For a long time, it seemed that he finally accepted that it was Yu Murakami himself who appeared in front of him.

"Murakami-san, this monthly, a new manga called "Swinging Travel" is very good, and the names of the characters are interesting."

"Thank you."

"No, no, no, it's right for the clerk to recommend good-looking comics to customers."

There was no one in line behind Yu Murakami, so he said two more words, "The new manga you said, is it interesting only with the name?" ”

"No, the story is also very interesting, it is about the girls who have gone through various efforts and difficulties, and finally see all kinds of beautiful scenery, which gives people a very comfortable feeling. The picture of the scenery is also excellent. ”

After thanking him again, Yu Murakami left the store and boarded the train to the hospital at Waseda Station.

In the car, he opened the comics and read them page by page.

Some storyboards, only a few days later, he felt that there were a lot of deficiencies when he looked at it again. It should be more simple and easy to understand, so that the reader has no obstacles.

After all, it's a "swaying" theme, so it's not easy.

As for the style of painting, it is not an exaggeration for him to redraw the original manuscript after another 30 pages.

As soon as he closed the manga, Yu Murakami's mind involuntarily returned to Risa's illness in Taneda. He sighed and had to reopen it to look at the other comics.

But I couldn't read a single page, and I couldn't figure out what I was drawing.

Before entering the hospital, he bought another bread for 170 yen.

I listened to the chorus from an unknown building in the Women's Medical College, and after eating the bread, I walked into the hospital.

There were even more people in the ward than yesterday, and in addition to Risa's parents, brothers, and relatives from Taneda, her other friends in the industry also came.

Rina Taneda was guarded in the center by everyone, talking and laughing, with a bright expression.

Murakami sat down on the sofa in the corner of the ward, and there was a pile of books on the table, and I don't know if it was brought by my farming mother.

He took a copy.

"Gentle Sigh" tells the story of a girl who turns from freelance to full-time employee and bravely takes a new step in life.

The author, Nanae Aoyama, is a well-known female writer in the island country now.

The first time Yu Murakami read this book, it was in his previous life, when he felt guilty about playing with his mobile phone in the library, and he couldn't read the book when he read it.

I didn't expect to be in an overcrowded hospital room when I came into contact with this book again.

Fortunately, the environment is still quiet, and Yu Murakami can read the list one by one comfortably, and get up halfway to take bananas and other fruits that I don't know who bought them.

One after another, people left the wards and people visited.

The four of Sakura Village simply asked for leave in the afternoon, and they had to wait until the results came out, and You Mubi was forced to go to class.

Before leaving, I must tell her when the results come out.

At three o'clock, when the book on the table was half-read by Yu Murakami, the doctor led people in.

Today, there is another doctor, who is said to be an expert in oncology and a façade posted on the hospital's official website.

When everyone was looking at the doctor, Yu Murakami was looking at Risa Taneda, and Risa Taneda was also looking at him.

Her hand on the sheet, clenched tightly.

Experts say, "Thyroid cancer is a blessing in misfortune." As long as there are no problems with the surgery, in the future, except for taking medicine on time and having regular check-ups, life is no different from ordinary people. ”

"What about lifespan?" Taneda's mother asked urgently.

"It's the same, the same as the average person."

Tanada's father asked, "What about the risks of surgery?" ”

"It's only a minor operation, and the risk is almost zero."

"Ahh Great! Seed sauce! Suzune Sakura jumped onto the bed at once, hugged Taneda Risa tightly, and removed the kimono she was wearing.

Risa Taneda put her arms around her with her backhand and said with a smile, "I'll just say I'm fine." ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and laughter rang out.

"Please be quiet in the hospital!" A middle-aged doctor-looking man behind the expert scolded.

The expert waved his hand, and the man immediately bowed and stopped speaking, and the room fell silent again.

"Anything else you'd like to ask?" Experts and vocal tracts.

"Doctor," asked Risa Taneda's agent, "after the surgery, when will the patient's vocalizations return to normal?" ”

"In about a week, the prognosis is two months. During the period, there is no problem with speaking, but it is hoarse and laborious. How to rehabilitate, after the operation, we will arrange it for the patient according to the situation. ”

"Two months." The agent repeated, and then asked, "After returning to normal, can my voice be the same as before?" ”

The doctor who had just said shut up interjected again

"Vocal cord damage during surgery is uncontrollable. However, Dr. Mitsuhashi is a director of the Japanese Society of Head and Neck Oncology, and the probability of thyroid cancer surgery is more than 90%.

For the rest, most of them just can't speak for a long time and can't sing high notes, and their voices will not be affected in any way. ”

"What about time? How long does it take to recover? ”

This time, the expert surnamed Mihashi himself said, "It is possible to miss a month, or a year if it is good." ”

Wearing a crisp suit and glasses, Brother Taneda asked, "I don't care if I can sing high notes, are you sure you won't be hoarse or anything in the future?" ”

"Don't worry."

"That's good."

After the farming family relaxed, explained a few words, and discussed the specific arrangements for the operation with the doctor.

Some voice actors quit and left one after another, and in the end, only the agent remained, and the four people of Sakuraso.

The agent explained some things, so that she could recuperate with peace of mind, and after not worrying about the things she had done at work, she also left.

"Great, planting sauce, it's really good to be okay." Ai Nakano said excitedly.

Miss Sakura stretched, "I didn't sleep well all night last night, it really scared me to death." ”

"It's worrying everyone." Risa Taneda smiled and said, "But thank you Suzune, I didn't follow you to check, and when my throat is uncomfortable, maybe the situation will be bad." ”

"Hmph~" Miss Sakura said in a smug nasal voice, "It's troublesome to have regular checkups, but it's also beneficial, right?" In the future, both of us will have regular health check-ups for the rest of our lives. ”

"Ahh Risa Taneda grabbed her hair.

"It's okay, it's okay." Higashiyama said, "Suzune grew up eating vitamins and all kinds of pills since she was a child. ”

"That's right, just get used to it!" Suzune Sakura said, "If we check on us regularly, it's a tour." ”

"That's right." Taneda Risa nodded, and suddenly remembered and said, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Hurry up and eat, shall we? I wonder if there is a hospital canteen? ”

"I'm hungry indeed." Dongshan was silently stomached.

The three decided to go to dinner.

Ai Nakano looked at Yu Murakami, who was sitting on the sofa and didn't move, "Murakami-kun, aren't you going?" ”

Yu Murakami pointed to the peel and pit in the trash can.

"You guy!" Miss Sakura laughed and scolded, "We're all nervous, but you're secretly eating the patient's stuff here!" Punishing you for this time to be optimistic about the sauce, you know? ”

Risa Taneda said, "Then I'm going to ask him to do some dirty work for me." ”

"Huh? It won't be wiping the ass and putting the pee, right? Higashiyama said in surprise.

"Knock on the door!" Risa Taneda said with a smile.

After the three of them left, the smile on Risa Taneda's face slowly disappeared.

"Sit there, come closer to me." She said.

Only Yu Murakami and her were left in the room.

Yu Murakami walked up to her bed and handed her the manga he bought, ""Swinging Travel" has started to be serialized, so when you don't want to read those books, let's pass the time. ”

Risa Taneda didn't pick up any comics, she suddenly put her arms around Murakami's neck and lay on his shoulder.

Before Yu Murakami could say anything, he felt his clothes wet.

"I'm so scared"

"Isn't it okay?" Yu Murakami whispered.

"If my voice really takes a year to recover, who will you already be married? Forgot me? ”

"I can't forget it."

"Don't lie to me?" She asked childishly.

"I kid you not."

"What about marriage?"

Will you get married in a year? The odds are slim, but it's a possibility.

In the past, Yu Murakami would have dealt with the past casually, but now, he doesn't want to lie.

Risa Taneda, who had not been answered for a long time, hugged him as if she was going to put her weight on him.

She whispered in his ear, in a hoarse voice after crying

"Sure enough, let's die together. Tie a stone to your body and jump into the sea together. ”
