After the livestream, Uchida suggested finding a place to eat.

didn't go to any store, and the four of them walked from beginning to end from a snack street that was not too long.

After eating a mess such as grilled Wagyu beef skewers and milk tea, Yu Murakami and Miss Sakura took the train back to Sakuraso, which was not crowded with many people.

The next day, the day Risa Taneda was discharged from the hospital, Yu Murakami didn't continue to look for a bookstore he hadn't been to when he took a break at noon, and was going to go to the office.

The weather was clear and the wind was coming from the east.

The train stopped in front of Yoyogi Station, and he closed the light called "After the Decline of Humanity".

After leaving the station, it took three minutes to walk to the office building.

The office area was empty, and the few clerks who stayed behind were either taking a nap with their clothes covered or talking on the phone softly—with relaxed expressions, as if they were not calls at work.

Yu Murakami nodded to the clerk who greeted him and walked to Akira Ishida's workstation.

The other party was reading the materials while eating lunch.

"Murakami-kun, why did you come at noon? Rare! He beckoned, "Would you like to eat together?" There is also a bento box. The freshest eel. It's just right! ”

"No need."

He came out of the set and had lunch at a soba restaurant.

Akira Ishida nodded, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Murakami told me about yesterday's live broadcast.

"This! I'm sorry! Akira Ishida didn't eat anymore, and slapped his left hand on his forehead, "I've been too busy lately, I forgot to elaborate!" Sorry, sorry. ”

"I'm here to remind you, yesterday's events are nothing, I'm afraid you'll even get the wrong address and date next time."

"It's possible." Akira Ishida said matter-of-factly.

"What's wrong, lately?"

Akira Ishida sighed and said in a complaining tone, "It's not Nail-Miya-san yet." ”

Yu Murakami realized that he was busy with the next president.

"How's it going?" He asked.

"It's going well." Akira Ishida continued to eat.

"Although the guy in the northwest is shrewd and capable, and he is good at currying favor with others, this is no longer attractive to the soon-to-be-retired president.

The next president, there is a high probability that it will be between me and Nailiya-san. Of course, until the dust settles, everything is still difficult to say. ”

"Oh."

"But it's estimated that it's not far from ten. Don't you see, many people have been surrounding Nailiya-san recently, thinking that she will become the next president. Akira Ishida sighed, "But that's right." Whether it is capital or popularity, she is stronger than me and Northwest. ”

"Then why do you still have to help nail Gong Sang, busy like this?"

"Let that guy in the northwest come to power, nailing Gong Sang is a cash cow, he definitely won't do anything with her. Not necessarily. Besides, if you can't be the president, the position of managing director is also very attractive. ”

Akira Ishida showed a helpless expression, so he could only accept his fate and speak the truth.

Akira Ishida, who had always wanted to set up his own business, was now content with the position of managing director, and was so busy that he forgot to inform himself of his specific work.

Yu Murakami wondered about this.

Perhaps because he was worried about the failure of the competition, he still stayed in YM, and he would stay with him, and then he could only end up being targeted by the northwest.

"Now everyone in the company already knows that the president is retiring?"

"I also know about the managing director and the managing director, as well as some brokers and secretaries. However, the news can't be hidden for long, and in fact, no one wants to hide it deliberately, just try not to talk about it. By November, I'm afraid everyone will know. ”

"How much money have you raised now?"

Akira Ishida smiled bitterly: "Anyway, it's not as good as nailing Miya-san, what do you do with that effort." ”

"That's it."

At the end of the conversation, Yu Murakami left the office and continued his work in the afternoon.

Return to Sakuraso in the evening.

"Murakami-kun, a guest is visiting you." Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ai Nakano, who walked to the entrance, said to him.

"Guest?"

He didn't know a few people in total, like Shimazaki Nobunaga, and he didn't dare to come to Sakuraso.

After all, it's a shared house.,Except for the few female voice actors who have a relationship with everyone.,They won't bring anyone to Sakuraso.。

Waiting for Yu Murakami to change his shoes, the two walked into the living room.

"Mr. Murakami." "Unexpected Love" editor Kagura Saka Iris sips coffee and smiles kindly.

"By the end of the month, the manuscript will be sent over."

"Definitely?"

"Definitely, definitely."

After seeing off the completely unwelcome guests, Yuu Murakami went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner, while Ai Nakano did some auxiliary work such as washing vegetables.

After dinner, Yu Murakami took out a pen and paper, drank black coffee, and began to fulfill his promise.

[I opened my eyes and looked at the sunlight outside the window that was shining into the room, and my mood naturally relaxed.

Finally get rid of the dark and cramped rental house of the past!

I let out a sigh of praise after reconfirming this fact.

I didn't have time to squint for a while, because the Adachi ward, where I was now, was not a short distance from the next Shinjuku, so I immediately got up and cleaned up.

When I was shopping for breakfast at a convenience store, I saw the latest issue of a car magazine.

I endured it and endured it, but in the end I didn't buy it.

{Wait until today's audition will pass, buy it in the evening and reward yourself!} }

I thought of the time when I was distracted by reading a script on the train.

When I arrived at the audition meeting, whether I knew anyone or not, I politely greeted them, and then quickly sat down in the corner.

Open the script to avoid the possibility of others chatting with you.

A few voice actors were chatting on one side.

"Mizuse-san, you're a lot whiter today, did you use foundation or something?"

I looked at Minase through the messy bangs that I didn't have time to take care of.

The other party is here to audition for the heroine, and compared with the last round of auditions, it is indeed a lot whiter.

"Nope. That's my no-makeup. ”

I am sincerely impressed.

If one day you dress up and wear decent clothes.

Someone said, "Hey, you're dressed up today, are you going to meet your friends?" ”

It is absolutely impossible for him to be so quiet, and even say confidently: "No." That's how I usually dress. ”

Mizuse-san is amazing, cool, and cute.

It's naïve. 】

"Nope."

Yu Murakami put down his pen.

"No, I can't. Headache. Need a change of mind. ”

This sentence seems to be talking to himself, and it is like explaining to the three female voice actors who are reading the script in the living room, and a female college student who is reading a book - the final exam is due in December - explained.

In short, Yu Murakami gave up continuing to write "Late Love", and sat in front of the computer with black coffee that had not had time to change in temperature.

He took out the pen display, called up the drawing, and comfortably added two sugar cubes to the coffee.

The laughter behind him didn't affect him.

The comics will be submitted on Thursday, and the light is delivered at the end of the month, not to mention that October is still a big month, and there is the 31st.

You have to know the priorities of things. No matter what others say, it can't be affected.

Yu Murakami holds coffee in his left hand and turns his pen in his right hand, feeling the air fresh.

The fly in the ointment is that Suzune Sakura's laughter is too loud and too noisy, although it is also very good.

Next, it seemed that he had touched a switch, and as he relaxed, the other people no longer looked at the table books and books without saying a word, but chatted while reading.

"Shall we go see the sauce this week?" Miss Sakura proposed.

"Okay!"

"Suzune, do you know where the home of the sauce is?" Ai Nakano asked.

"Yes, I asked her today."

"Murakami-kun, you should be free on Sunday, right? Let's go together? Higashiyama blinked, "I asked last time, why didn't you go to see Murakami-kun." ”

"Yes. Anyway, there's nothing to do in the morning. In the afternoon, I had to go to the audition party. ”

"Then it's decided!"

On Sunday, however, editor Kawabata asked him to meet again, at the editorial office of Hobunsha.

When the time came to October 18th, the weather was already a little cool in the morning and evening, but it did not feel cold, and the day was still comfortable.

Editor Kawabata holds a letter in a storage box.

"Remarkable! Mr. Murakami! Sales skyrocketed! He exclaimed, "Your comics are getting more and more interesting and incredible." Many readers have written in to me that they can read just 30 pages of your drawings for a week. ”

Yu Murakami opened a few letters at random, and there was indeed relevant feedback.

【...... I have to take it when I go to the toilet, and sometimes I forget the time when I look at it, and my legs are numb ......]

【...... When I came back from work, I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to watch "Swinging Travel"! Not for a few girls inside, but for the quiet ......]

I don't know if the letters were selected by Kawabata, but they were almost all praise.

When Yu Murakami read the letter, Kawabata editor continued:

"I plan to let "Swinging Travel" participate in the newcomer comic awards, and if it can win the gold award, I can enjoy more promotion resources and lay the foundation for animation."

"It doesn't matter if you promote resources." Yu Murakami put down the letter, "It's just that when I first submitted the entry, I didn't indicate that it was an entry, and I didn't go through the registration procedures. Now there are some results, but they compete with those works that participate in the competition according to the regulations, is it really okay to do this? ”

Kawabata disagreed.

"Mr. Murakami, please rest assured. In fact, this kind of thing has always existed, whether you are engaged in illustration or a cartoonist who has already debuted, you have long known this unspoken rule.

The only criterion for winning the award is {whether it is popular with readers}, and it doesn't matter if you sign up or not. ”

"It's really strength first."

Kawabata said, "It's fair, it's not fair, it's like that, whether it's manga or life. ”

"Makes sense." Yu Murakami nodded, "Then trouble Kawabata-san." ”

"I'm your editor, and the better your comics sell, the more benefits I have to count, so there's no need to thank me. It's all my job! ”

After that, Kawabata gave Yu Murakami a form to fill out the entry information for "Swinging Travel".

"Mr. Murakami, please stabilize your mentality and continue to maintain this level!"

"Do your best."

Leaving the editorial office of Fangwen Society, Murakami looked at the time, and it was already noon.

Even though I know the address of the farmer's house, it's too late to go now, and the afternoon audition is a must.

"Grimmgar of Ash and Fantasy", Yu Murakami and the original author of this light book, Shiji Qing, just sang together this Friday.

Shiwenqing used to be a street singer, and he also released a CD made by himself, and once wanted to pull Yu Murakami and Du Hang to form a [Light Family Band].

Wataru agrees with this, and now the two are trying to persuade Murakami Yuchu.

At the meeting on Friday, at the time of the daily Bamai sailing, the other party said: He is already there in the production company and highly recommends him. dubbing work, please also ask him to put more effort into it.

Yu Murakami has no reason to refuse and promises to do his best.

I rushed to the audition venue, because I hadn't eaten lunch yet, and I had plenty of time, so I found a set meal house nearby and ordered a pork cutlet set for a long time.

——————

The production company of "Gray and Fantasy Grimgard" is A Company, that is, the animation production company that produced "Sword Art Online" and "Passerby Heroine", which is very powerful.

In addition, it has many fans, ranking 19th in 2015 [This Light is Really Powerful], so the scale of the audition will not be small.

Shimazaki Nobunaga, Domoto Kaito, and Uchida Yuma, three rookies in the industry, are naturally there.

The three of them got together, didn't look at the script, and chatted.

"Ah, really, even if I participate in the audition many times, I will still be nervous." Kaito Domoto rubbed his hands against the sides of his pants.

"It means that we haven't participated enough." Shimazaki Nobunaga said, "By the time I'm thirty years old, I'll already be able to see it." ”

Uchida shook his head and denied:

"The voice actor is not a stable job, the competitive pressure has always existed, and the audition at the age of thirty will only be more difficult - the seniors are stronger, and the juniors are cheaper than us."

"I can't relax for a moment."

"The problem is," Umito Domoto was indignant, "we also have a Murakami at the same time!" When the hell is this guy going to give us a seat? ”

"By the way," Shimazaki Nobunaga said as if he had just gotten up, "which role did you audition?" ”

Yuma Uchida: "I'm [Land] and [Hayasi]. ”

"I am Rand, Manado, and Harshilo. What about you, Nobunaga? ”

"I've been very busy lately, and I don't have time to think about multiple roles, so I just took [Manado]." Shimazaki Nobunaga replied.

"The stallion [Rand], Nobunaga [Manado], I [Harshilo]!" Domoto Kaito clenched his fists, "How about this goal?" ”

"Not bad! Come on! ”

"Hmm-" Yuma Uchida hesitated, "That, Kaito, Murakami also participated in the audition party for this anime." [Harshilo], is it the protagonist, right? ”

Domoto Kaito: "......"

"How do you know about the stallion?" Shimazaki Nobunaga asked curiously, "I recently asked him out for dinner, and he said that he had something to refuse." ”

"We did a live broadcast together a few days ago, and we had dinner together and chatted for a while." Uchida replied.

"Well, I don't know he's been ...... lately."

Before Shimazaki Nobunaga finished speaking, Kaito Domoto interrupted in a resolute tone.

"I'm sorry, stallion, Nobunaga! [Land], [Manado], I must take one! ”

"You're giving up too quickly!"

"You look down on the two of us?!"

"You can't expect me to look down on Murakami, can you?" Domoto Kaito patted the two of them on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll treat you." Will there be anything later? Going to have fun together?

Recently, I found out that an acquaintance told me that there is an agent in Akihabara who can contact JK! Good looking people and very ...... price"

"Murakami is here."

There is no need to remind Domoto Kaito, the sudden change in the air in the preparation room has already made Domoto Kaito stop talking.

The ease of giving up and the solemnity of greater pressure are wonderfully intertwined at this moment.

"Just in time! Murakami, come here! Domoto Kaito shouted.

Yu Murakami walked over, and Nobunaga Shimazaki stepped aside and asked him to sit down.

Domoto Kaito said: "Murakami, the old rule, a treat with a successful audition, this time I will go to Akihabara." Have some time later? ”

Yu Murakami looked at the number of people in the preparation room, and when everyone finished the audition, the results were announced, and I was afraid it would be five or six o'clock.

It's close to dinner time, so it's not appropriate to visit the farmer's house.

He nodded.

"Okay, that's it, you two are okay, right?"

Uchida leaned against the wall: "Today's dinner is solved, comfortable and comfortable." ”

"Murakami, are you sure you want to do this?" Shimazaki Nobunaga whispered, "Won't you be sorry for Nakano-san?" ”

"I'm sorry Nakano?" Murakami was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do in Akihabara?" ”

"Find JK."

"Omelet rice?"

The three of them cast disdainful glances at him and had never seen the world.

The audition was over, and Yu Murakami and Nobunaga Shimazaki successfully auditioned.

The other two also have no failed frustrations - the voice actor often fails, and there is only expectation of JK on his face.

The four of them walked out of the building side by side, and Kaito Domoto went to hail a taxi on the side of the road.

Shimazaki Nobunaga and Uchida Yuma were discussing whether JK would come out with a uniform, and they listened purely to Yu Murakami, who had paid in the past.

It's autumn, a little past six o'clock, and the sky is already full of twilight.
