241. The visit of Yomu Bi
The freshman year is always relatively full, and she only has two days a week, Monday and Friday, and can stay in school until 10 o'clock in the morning.
Usually, she either goes to the library;
Either follow your new friends and go to the shopping street behind Waseda;
Or take the train and go shopping in Shinjuku - for this reason, she pestered Yu Murakami, who always didn't want to pick up a pen when he didn't care about anything, and wrote a lot of tips about Shinjuku.
It's all bars, and she doesn't need it at all, she can only look at the strange people inside.
For example, {the owner of a fast-food restaurant whose wife was abducted by a record store across the door}, {four men who gnawed each other's toes after getting drunk in the corner late at night}, {and a man in a suit who picked up beautiful women and threw away cigarette butts with lipstick prints}...... Wait a minute.
She treats this as a story - much better than the barely serialized "Impossible Love".
Today, she didn't go to the library, nor did she go to the shopping street or Shinjuku.
She's going to visit a recording studio called {Autumn Ming}.
Get on the train at Waseda Station and take the Tozai Line.
On Monday mornings, there were no crowded office workers, and there were no families of three who traveled together on Sundays.
There is only one of them, a petite and cute girl, and then there is the warm sunshine.
The tram hula-hu-la, from time to time alarming the pigeons in the nearby park.
Since the death of her parents, You Mubi feels that she is obviously in reality, but she has not been able to live here.
From Monday to Friday, I eat in the school cafeteria at noon, and buy a lunch box for dinner.
On Friday night, buy all the food you eat for Saturday and Sunday, close the curtains, and never go out again.
That's when I was sixteen to seventeen.
Now, she has just turned 18 years old and has not yet completed her goal of growing to 1.5 meters tall, but she has become so eager for work and society.
Working with Brother Yuu, I don't know how many interesting things will happen.
You Mubi lay by the window, looking at a few faint white clouds in the sky, the weather was very good.
"Next stop, Takebashi Station, Takebashi Station."
She grabbed the same women's cloth bag as Sister Suzune, jumped out of her seat, and ran out of the carriage.
The knee-length denim skirt can't limit her cheerful pace.
When she arrived downstairs in the {Qiu Ming} recording studio, Sister Aiyi waved at her from afar.
"Concave sauce ~~"
She looked left and right, made sure the road was safe, and immediately ran over.
"Sister Aiyi!"
"Let's go." Ai Nakano took her little hand affectionately, "It's time to take you to visit." β
She was half-dragged into the building by Aii Nakano, and she secretly adjusted her breathing, cleared her thoughts, and straightened her posture.
The corners of his mouth are ready to smile cutely when he sees someone.
Along the way, whether it was the staff of the recording studio or unrelated people, whether it was necessary or not, she greeted her with a well-behaved smile first.
When I went upstairs, I was even more nervous and curious.
"Sister Aiyi, the superintendent, the voice actor, what kind of people are they? Is it the same as Brother Yuu? β
"It's the same as your brother."
Sister Aiyi's smile is very wonderful, like helplessness, funny, and angry...... She was a little confused, and she didn't know what kind of existence Brother Yu, as a voice actor, was.
According to her own imagination, shouldn't voice actors be like Brother You, who reads the script without saying a word during working hours, strives for excellence in acting, and always goes all out?
Is there anything wrong with being like him?
There are many voice actors on the set of "The Spirit of the Halberd", both old and young, male and female.
There are several female voice actors she has seen, such as Sister Aiyi's good friend Sister Chixia Akasaki, Sister Risa Taneda, who played with her very very beautiful yesterday, and so on.
She also greeted them very politely.
"Concave sauce," Chixia Akasaki handed over the food on the table, "Do you want to taste it?" β
"Nope! No more! Thank you, Sister Akasaki! β
"Concave sauce is here to visit, why are you so nervous?" Risa Taneda smiled and comforted.
You Mubi smiled shyly, still nervous in her heart.
The pressure of self-sacrificing work and the strict system of seniors and seniors in the island society - which is even more serious in the voice actor world - all of which make her just an adult not know how to deal with it.
"Let's go see your brother." Sister Aiyi proposed.
She looked up, there were many male voice actors in the lounge, but she didn't see Brother You, who could become the focus of the audience for the first time, no matter how many people there were.
"Murakami-san's words," Chiki Chixia pointed to a door, "in the mixing room." I'm probably discussing things with Rensang. β
She followed Ai Nakano and walked to the mixing room.
"Rensang is the sound supervisor, and he has a good relationship with your brother You."
"Oh."
Brother You is really amazing! And he's very diligent - the other voice actors are resting, and I'm still discussing things with the sound supervisor!
Sister Aiyi, who was walking in front, carefully pushed open the door and said, "I'm sorry." β
β...... At that time, I didn't eat it, so I hit one, and I touched myself! "It's a rough voice, what is he talking about, acting things?
"You don't eat? If you don't eat me, I won't be able to touch yourself! It was a crepe voice, but the tone was very excited, as if it wasn't about acting.
"That one let Murakami win directly to the top, and he lost too badly!" It was the rough voice, "Murakami, how do you practice mahjong?" Are there any tricks? β
"Mahjong is such a thing, if you play one by one, you can naturally win. What's the trick? The voice was clear, flat, and pleasant, like the warm sunlight on her face on the train.
Hemp...... Mahjong?
"Migu Sang, Futian Sang, Rensang, this is Youmubi, I came to visit today." Sister Aiyi introduced her and said.
"Hello! I'm Yomubi! Sorry for the trouble today! She quickly bowed.
"Oh, it's Murakami's sister, right?"
"She looks so cute, she deserves to be Murakami's sister."
"You can watch whatever you want, and when you record Part B later, as long as you don't make a sound, it's okay to go into the dubbing studio."
They were welcoming, and she smiled cutely in response.
After saying hello, Sister Aiyi led her out, and there was a sound of discussing the card game behind her.
"See," Sister Aiyi said with a smile, "Your brother looks like on the set." β
"But... Didn't you keep saying that Brother You only looked at the script on the set? β
"Look also. It's just that whether it is the stand book or talking to the overseer about playing cards, it is just a means for him to achieve his goal. β
"The purpose? What purpose? β
It's obviously just a place for voice actors to dub, so is there anything complicated? She thought.
"I guess I don't want to be treated with female voice actors."
"Huh? Why? β
"Who knows." Sister Aiyi said with a smile, "He is used to thinking alone, and whatever he does, as long as he can let himself pass, he will not consider whether others understand it or not." β
But You Mubi felt that Sister Aiyi's smile seemed to say that she knew the reason.
Besides, being able to say such a thing already means that she herself knows Brother You very well?
Part B dubbing began, and the voice actors entered the dubbing room one after another.
Yu Mubi obediently sat on the additional chair, staring at the voice actors who seemed to her to be ordinary and very mysterious.
There are only four microphones in the dubbing room, but the voice actors are in an orderly manner and take turns using them without any mistakes.
Except for the wheat on the far left, Brother You, who was holding the script in one hand and turning the page, was only pressed lightly with his thumb, which was always occupied.
Even if there was "a long time" he didn't have lines, and no one used them.
Is this the treatment of the protagonist's service?
She immediately denied it.
Because the heroine on the side, Sister Taneda, who is completely beautiful, also takes turns using the microphone with others.
Below is the cheers of the audience, Murakami, Farming...... I'm sorry for the four of you. "It's the rough-voiced sound supervisor.
"Okay."
"Rensang," Brother Yu said suddenly, "can you let the concave sauce try it?" β
"Huh?" She cried out in surprise.
When everyone looked at it, she immediately sat in an even more standard positionβher back straight, her hands down on her knees, and her feet together.
The whole person looks like a child in kindergarten.
"Yes, just a few shouts, come on." The thick voice is surprisingly easy to speak.
Brother Yu let go of the microphone, held the script in his right hand, and made a gesture to her with his left hand: "Come on." β
You Mubi subconsciously walked over.
Brother You said: "Later, just a sad [oh] sound, the size is arbitrary." β
This section is recorded about the failure of students to cook, the wails of men and women, and the volume of their voices does not need to be very exquisite.
She nodded nervously.
"Ready, go."
"Oh."
"Good. Let's move on to the next paragraph......"
That's it? Wouldn't it be too casual? Didn't a lot of voice actors try it several times?
She walked back to her seat as if she didn't feel herself.
By the time she recovers from the afterglow of her first dubbing, Part B is almost over.
At noon, I still take the Tozai Line back to Waseda.
When she was at home, although she knew that Brother Yu should be very powerful, because of Sister Suzune, she kept saying "Murakami and I are YM double kings", "Acting skills are similar", "There is a lot of competition for female voice actors, and there is little pressure on male voice actors", plus Brother Yu has never refuted it, so she didn't take it seriously in her heart.
At the scene, it seems that it is not like that at all!
Brother Yu is an amazing big shot!
And what about yourself? It's a "ninja" who has been "mixing" with such a big shot since his debut!
The name of the god of ninjas...... Still not ready to get your hands on it?
Waseda is getting closer, but her heart stays in the dubbing room.
She looked out the window and thought: It wasn't very good just now, try a few more times and clear your throat, it should be better.
Also, Brother You's microphone is too high! This also affected their own play!
Damn it! I really want to reconfigure it once!
The scenery outside the train recedes like an afterimage.
You Mubi felt as if she was also flying, no, flying, like a bird.
She is now like a bird that has just learned to fly.
Although she didn't know what kind of scenery was on the other side of the mountain, or what kind of creatures were floating on the sea, she didn't know any of this, and she didn't even know if there were mushrooms growing on the back of the tree she was perched on.
But she can fly, can't she? I don't know anything, but one day I will be able to see it with my own eyes.
ββββββ
After Ai Nakano sent Yu Mubi to the car, on the way to the "Game Life" seminar with Yu Murakami, he asked him:
"Why did you have the voice of Concave Sauce?"
"The way she laughs, it almost makes me nervous."
Ai Nakano laughed.
Yu Murakami continued:
"Concave sauce looks lively and cheerful, but her heart is very fragile, so I have to increase her self-confidence."
"How can there be no training at all, just let people dub in front of more than a dozen people, and say what to increase the confidence of others?"
"What are you talking about?" Yu Murakami looked at Ai Naino strangely.
Her body seems to have always had a warmth that can move people's hearts.
He said:
"I'm telling her that no matter how uncultivated a person is, I can still let her stand in the dubbing studio and participate in the dubbing, so I don't need to smile at people who don't matter."
Ai Nakano pressed the corners of her mouth, revealing a look of loss:
"I'm envious of Onishi-chan and concave sauce now."
"Envy them?" Yu Murakami said with a smile, "Nakano-san is not someone who thinks this way in my mind. β
"What kind of person am I in your mind?" Ai Nakano asked curiously.
"Be fair and kind to people, calm and self-disciplined. For those who are good at it, they must be proficient, and those who are not good at it must be no worse than ordinary people.
Well, there are a lot of advantages, the kind that can't be listed. All in all, he is a person who does not envy others and wants to become the envy of others by his own efforts. β
"Oh, am I such a powerful person? And what about the downside? β
"Disadvantages," Murakami thought for a moment, "I don't like to talk about things directly, and I think too much about details." β
"If you have something to say directly, don't think about the details, I'm afraid it's also a disadvantage, right?"
"I can only think of these two shortcomings, about you."
"Nothing else?"
"Nope."
"Really?"
"Hmm...... Does it count as a liking to drink bitter coffee? β
Ai Nakano nodded noncommittally.
Even so, from the way she looked at her side face, Murakami still saw a faint warmth, like a wisp of white smoke rising from a thatched hut in a green field on a sunny and windless day.
"What else?"
This time Yu Murakami shook his head firmly, "Nothing else." β
"Am I so good in your mind?"
"yes, it couldn't be better."
After Yu Murakami said this, Ai Nakano stared at his face for a long time without a sound.
Liang Jiu said:
"Then do you want me to tell me about Murakami-kun's shortcomings?"
"Won't you talk about the pros first?"
"There are so many advantages that it's a hassle to list. There are few disadvantages and it is easy to say. She followed Murakami's tone, "Do you want to listen?" β
"Can I not listen?"
Ai Nakano finally stopped being warm, but girlishly cast her {I can't help you} to Yu Murakami.
When the two of them looked at each other, they couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I must say you have a good point."
"Oh?"
"Quite self-aware and smart."
"Aren't they two?"
"Is there a problem with being smart because you are self-aware, and being smart because you are self-aware?"
Ai Nakano is so imposing that it is so cute that it is difficult for Yu Murakami to say anything different.
"Nope."
Ai Nakano smiled and raised her hand to hit him.
Her nails were painted with an almost transparent pale pink nail polish, which was smooth and like a glass lid, and people couldn't help but test their smoothness with their thumbs.
Ai Nakano noticed his gaze and turned her hand back to him:
"Looks good, right? I painted it myself. β
"What's the point of painting this? Does it protect your nails? β
Yu Murakami asked the doubts that he had always had in his heart, but he didn't bother to ask.
"Some of them are to hide that they have short fingers and unsightly nails. Also, girls like these and think they are beautiful. If you apply it to your hands and you can see it all the time, you will be in a good mood. β
Ai Nakano patiently explained, and pointed out to him the differences of each nail that seemed to Yu Murakami.
"It's even more boring than listening to female voice actors talk about the differences in menstruation in each season in the winter."
"You're a man... Alas! Ai Nakano sighed, ".... You talk to girls like that? β
"Yes and no. That's all I say to you. β
"And Suzune, ζ°ζ°, and a kind of sauce, don't you say that?" Ai Nakano asked with a smile.
"Don't say it."
"Don't you dare?"
Yu Murakami looked at Nakano Ai's soft and warm little face, confirmed that she was just chatting, and said:
"No, I won't say it."
"You."
Ai Nakano used her nails coated with nail polish to gently press on the back of his hand to create shallow marks.
