206. End to end
On April 3rd, in order to avoid yesterday's troubles, Murakami got up early and left the hotel at dawn - his body and spirit now, sleeping more and sleeping less, there is no difference in a short period of time.
Today he plans to go to Yashima.
"The name of this place may be due to the fact that it looks like a roof from a distance." At yesterday's reception, the organizers introduced it like this.
It is located on the highlands of the northeastern part of Takamatsu City, and from the mountain you can see the Seto Inland Sea. In addition to this, there are temples and aquariums on the hill.
It was a little drizzle in the morning, and Murakami came out early, so I couldn't see anyone up and down.
By the time he reached the best spot overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, the rain had stopped, and the sun was slowly rising behind Okayama in Honshu on the other side.
"Buzz~Buzz~"
Pulling out the mobile phone in his pocket, it was a video call from Miss Sakura.
Click on.
Miss Sakura's face appeared on the screen, and I don't know if this video has a beautiful face, I always feel that Suzune Sakura is more refined.
She turned her face sideways at Yu Murakami, brushed her hair, and was talking to the person next to her. It sounds like Saori Hayami.
He didn't rush to ask anything, but continued from the video, and he also looked at the mountains and seas to pass the time.
After waiting for about three minutes, Miss Sakura finally seemed to remember that there was such a thing as a video call.
"Murakami, where are you? Why is it all mountains in the back? ”
"Yashima."
Yu Murakami changed the camera to the rear and used the scenery of the mountains and seas and Suzu Sakura to video.
"It's beautiful. Hayami-san, come and see! ”
"What? Well, what a great view. Where is this? Saori Hayami's face also appears in the camera.
"According to Murakami, it's Yashima."
"Oh! Come to think of it, he and Tanukan went to Shikoku to publicize, right? ”
"Well, I'm envious. Why do we both have to stay in Tokyo to promote? I'm tired of Tokyo! Murakami, go down a little bit, I'm going to look at the city below! ”
Yu Murakami slowly lowered the phone.
[Photography lv. 2: 33/100]
The faces of Suzune Sakura and Saori Hayami are almost stretched out from the opposite side of the camera, pointing their fingers at the city.
"It doesn't look too bad."
"But it's true that there are no tall buildings. The sea is beautiful, what kind of sea is it?
"What sea, Murakami?"
"Seto Inland Sea." Yu Murakami said.
"It's the Seto Inland Sea." Miss Sakura repeated to Saori Hayami.
Yu Murakami had been standing at the Lion Spirit Rock for seven or eight minutes, intending to leave.
"Tell me something, I have to go somewhere else."
"It's okay, I'll check to see if the other voice actors in "April" are promoting it well, and as a result, I caught you playing outside."
"Hung up."
"What's the hurry?! You have the video on, let me and Hayami-san also watch it. We still have three events ahead of us before it's our turn, and we're bored backstage. And you're lonely by yourself, right? We're in for a threesome. ”
"Threesome?" Yu Murakami asked.
"That's right. Wait, can your mind not be so dirty? Morning Sang is listening! Apologize quickly! ”
Murakami was too lazy to explain that he said that {threesome} was hidden meaning, and he was disgusted with the trouble of driving the video all the time.
In the midst of Miss Sakura's accusations and the command of where to shoot the camera, Yu Murakami wandered around the mountains.
After looking at the memorial monument, I passed by the treasure hall and came to Yashimaji Temple.
"Murakami, go in and have a look."
The main attraction of Yashimaji Temple is that the twelve torii gates look like freshly painted ones, which are very clean and bright red.
"Murakami, pat the first torii gate and see what is written?"
"Demoiselle, Mountain, Great Myojin? Morning San, have you heard of it? ”
"Haven't heard of it. Maybe it's a god from Takamatsu's side. ”
"Possibly. Murakami, pat the bottom again, were there two stone statues just now? Yes! What is this? What is this stone carving? ”
"It looks like a dog."
"What's the circle under its head? It can't be a lion, right? It's also a bit like a wild boar. ”
"Wild boar? Mmmm......" Saori fell silent in the morning, and then said, "I don't think it's possible for the shrine to enshrine wild boars." ”
"No, yes."
"Huh? Are you sure? ”
"Hmm~~. It's in Kyoto, and it's called Goo Shrine. A very small shrine. ”
"No wonder I haven't heard of it. What is this Goo Shrine blessing? Eat healthy? ”
"It's so rude, morning San, how can you think of eating it when you hear a pig? Hahaha! ”
Saori Hayami couldn't help but laugh twice and said, "I like to eat pork." So what exactly does this shrine do? ”
Suzune Sakura Says:
"It's a prayer for a healthy waist and feet. The gifts sold at the shrine are also very cute boar dolls. The last time I went, I was short on time, plus I didn't like wild boars, so I didn't buy them. ”
"Oh, that's right."
"The main deity of the Gooh Shrine is Waki Kiyomaro and Kihiro Insect Hime......"
Yu Murakami listened to the video on the other side of the video {Miss Sakura's popular science for Saori Hayami} while swimming in Yashimaji Temple.
I don't know if it's rude to talk about other shrines in a shrine?
Considering that when the gods appeared and made the rules, there was no such thing as video calls, so there should be no relevant regulations, and according to the principle of "anything is forbidden by the law", it is not rude.
Yu Murakami's mind is full of strange ideas.
After the tour of Yashima Temple, except for the three {travelers}, I saw neither tourists nor shrine maidens wearing white shirts and red hakama.
There are 88 temples in Shikoku, and those who visit these temples are called "Wanderers", and Yashimaji Temple is the 84th of them.
Out of the main entrance of the temple, there is a tree-lined path, at this time the sun is already a little hot, so the shadows of the trees are mottled.
There are few tourists, and when you look forward and the back, there is only Yu Murakami, and there is still the sound of Suzune Sakura and Saori Hayami eating on the mobile phone.
"Murakami, look to the right!" Suzune Sakura said suddenly.
Murakami looked over, but it was a tree with a sticker on it. Wild boar infestation! }.
"I'll just say it!" Miss Sakura's smug voice came, "The stone statue just now must be a wild boar!" ”
"Suzune is so smart." Saori Hayami praises.
"How can there be~~, hehe, I'm guessing too." Miss Sakura is modest.
"Actually, it's a tanuki." Yu Murakami dismantled the stage.
Three people, two in Tokyo and one in Shikoku, fell silent together.
This was followed by Saori's gentle laughter from Saori Hayami, and Suzune Sakura's {Murakami!} You're back dead! Eh, I've seen San, I said it was a blind guess! It's all to blame for the carver's poor craftsmanship! That's right! Blame them! }
Further down is the ruins of the gate of Yashima Castle. A wall made of large stones, about three meters high, has a Z-shaped ladder for visitors to climb and descend.
You can also see Takamatsu City from here.
Unlike the Lion Spirit Cliff, most of the scenery overlooked here is the city, while the Lion Spirit Cliff is half sea and half city.
At the request of Miss Sakura, Yu Murakami found a relatively high place and took a bird's-eye view of the entire city of Takamatsu from left to right.
[Photography lv 2: 34/100]
It seems that the middle walk-up – shooting while walking, that is, shooting randomly – is not recognized by the system.
Finally, there's the aquarium. It has long been deserted, and the sign that says {Shin-Shimaya Aquarium} is stained with rusty water, a desolate scene.
At this point, Yu Murakami's phone is almost out of battery.
Suzune Sakura and Saori Hayami also went to the stage to promote "April" a long time ago, and on the mobile phone screen, there was only an empty lounge, and there were leftover snacks for the two of them.
A small spoon for eating pudding, half on the table and half hanging in the air.
It should fall, thinking like this, Yu Murakami hung up the phone.
Udon noodles that are still eaten at noon.
And just like that, Takamatsu's wandering ended with this bowl of udon.
In the afternoon he had to rush back to rehearsals and training to prepare for the evening's performance.
When I arrived at the hotel and came to the training room, Risa Taneda was already singing.
The accompanying pianist was also there.
"Murakami-kun," the pianist looks forty years old with a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, "you want to play the piano at night, right?" ”
"Yes."
At the opening banquet of "April", the production team learned that Yu Murakami's piano level was not bad, so in order to restore the role, he simply asked him and Taneda Risa to play and sing alone.
In addition, the two have to perform dramas.
Originally, it was just live dubbing, but the reason why it became a drama was because at the first screening yesterday, the two of them had good looks, and someone proposed it so and it was approved.
"The drama is also the original plot, and the two leading actors are also voice actors with excellent acting skills, even if the real person is a little exaggerated, it doesn't matter. Just look good. That's what the overseer said.
Yu Murakami doesn't know if what he says is good-looking, whether it's the people or the plot. Probably both.
"Need some pointers, but it probably doesn't have a lot of time." The pianist said.
He came to perform with the band and did not guide Yu Murakami's work arrangement.
"Thanks, no need. It's not a complicated tune either. ”
"Then you can play it and show me. Just in case. ”
Everyone is from the "April" team, and the other party is afraid of their own mistakes, whether it is pure kindness, when it comes to work, there is no reason for Murakami to refuse.
So he sat down at the piano and played Mozart, well, it's actually the Little Star Variations, including the more technical variations that followed.
Yu Murakami is neither good nor bad.
The pianist, as he thought, did not point out or praise, but just said, "This level is enough for tonight." ”
After the pianist left, Risa Taneda came up to talk.
"It's amazing, Murakami-kun, it's pretty good."
"It's just average."
"It sounds like it's amazing. The fingers crackled and pressed, and the eyes couldn't see it. ”
She imitated the movement of playing the piano with both hands in the air, and it did look like she was pressing indiscriminately.
"The piano is something like that, just practice to the music. No big deal. ”
Risa Taneda propped her hands on the piano, looked down at Yu Murakami, and said, "I don't believe a word of what the people of Tokyo say." ”
"That's right." Yu Murakami said perfunctorily, "Tokyoites love to lie." ”
"Hahaha."
The two spoke a few words and continued to practice their dance moves and memorize the lines of the play.
When the sun dyed the mountains golden, the "April" performance team rushed to Tamamo Park ahead of schedule.
Yuu Murakami and Risa Taneda change into the junior high school Western-style school uniforms of the male and female protagonists in the animation, and make the final adjustments in the lounge.
When the lights hanging on the cherry blossom trees are lit and the cherry blossom petals are dyed red, the show begins.
First up is Risa Taneda.
The lights around the stage went out suddenly, and after a while, in a beam of light, Taneda Risa stood in the center of the stage with her hands folded.
The night breeze was breezy and slightly cool, and the hem of her skirt was flying.
"Everyone, it's going to start, this April."
[Premonition Wind Prank]
【Follow your footsteps all the way】
......
[Face like a phantom]
[You live just like you]
[Flowers that are praised for blooming but withering in the past]
......
Murakami was behind the curtain, watching her dance.
At this time, the night wind turned stronger, and her unbuttoned suit and school uniform, white shirt with no tucked hem, and long flowing hair all flew with her.
The cherry blossoms, which were dyed thoroughly red by the light, also began to fall.
In addition to the audience in front of the stage, there are families and couples who come out to enjoy the night cherry blossoms on the hillside in the distance.
Yu Murakami looked at the moonless sky, and the stars seemed to be asking for money.
He thought, what are the people of Sakura Village doing now? Have you ever gone to the Meguro River to see the cherry blossoms at night?
"Friend A, are you ready?"
Risa Taneda shouted at him.
"Ahh
Murakami's gentle voice is like a warm light, and the tone is as cold as the night breeze, resounding in front and back of Tamamo Park, up and down.
"Yo-Yo-"
The voice of the female fan wearing a {I love Yujun} T-shirt is not weak.
After the performance, the organizer invited the crew to the restaurant that had been reserved. The store is very small, and the crew alone is almost full of people.
"Hmm~~~, it's delicious." Risa Taneda's eyes lit up.
"Not bad, indeed. It's similar to what I eat at a high-end restaurant in Tokyo. Overseer Kyohei Ishiguro also praised.
"Thank you."
The organizers smiled and thanked him, and turned to Yu Murakami, who was sitting in the corner and eating silently.
"Murakami-kun, how is it, Takamatsu's kaiseki cuisine."
"It's delicious."
Yu Murakami was taken by Suzune Sakura to eat kaiseki cuisine in Ginza, and for 15,000 yen per person, the taste was not much different from what was in front of him.
"Murakami-kun's performance today was quite exciting. What I didn't expect the most was that even we in the countryside have fans. ”
"It's fine."
After eating, someone suggested that he continue drinking.
"I've been walking around for the past two days, and I'm too tired to go, so I won't go."
"Murakami, why can't you do it in your twenties? You have to take care of yourself. ”
"Hahaha, Murakami, you have to be temperate when you are popular with girls!"
A few musicians started to make colors after drinking a few glasses of sake in the store.
Yu Murakami and a few female staff members and Risa Taneda returned to the hotel.
As soon as I entered the house and took a sip of water, my phone rang again.
Suzune Sakura sent him a photo of the night view of Tokyo.
Brightly lit streets, traffic coming and going, and signboards of different colors.
Sakura: Repay You (10:36)
Sakura: Thank me (10:36)
Sakura: (10:37)
Murakami: Why are you still on the street? (10:38)
Sakura: Sitting on the train with Saori Onishi, Onishi is asleep and .avi nodding his head (10:38)
Sakura: Just finished recording the broadcast (10:38)
Sakura: (╥╯^╰╥) (10:39)
Murakami: Hard work (10:39)
Sakura: What are you doing? (10:40)
Murakami: Just returned from dinner and ready to take a shower (10:40)
Sakura: Oh (10:40)
Sakura: Come back and cook for me (10:41)
Sakura: See you tomorrow (10:41)
Sakura: Get off the bus (10:42)
Yu Murakami: Okay (10:43)
Putting his phone on the table, he turned on the radio, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and listened to the radio of two voice actors he didn't know for a while.
When the body wants to move, when the water is finished, get up and take a shower.
The next day, the crew of "April" flew back to Tokyo.
Yu Murakami didn't even have time to return to Sakuraso, so he had to rush to the Autumn Ming Recording Studio to record the work that had fallen in the past three days.
Because of the separate recording, he can solve the three-day dubbing task in two hours.
Halfway through, he walked to the vending machine to buy a drink and pick out a new one.
Ai Nakano walked out of the dubbing room next door. - A recording studio will have several dubbing studios.
"Murakami-kun?" Ai Nakano shouted in surprise, "Coming back?" ”
"Aren't I all here?"
Ai Nakano smiled and said, "Have you returned to Sakuraso?" ”
"It's not time yet."
"What about saluting?"
"Put it in the dubbing room."
"Did you bring us a gift?" Ai Nakano asked.
"Of course. How can this be forgotten? ”
"Really? I thought Murakami-kun was the kind of person who wouldn't take the initiative to bring gifts to his friends when he went out to play. What about gifts? ”
"Put it in the dubbing room."
"I want to see it now."
"Whatever you want."
Yu Murakami buys a bottle of undrunk drink at the vending machine and returns to his voice studio with Ai Nakano.
"Where?" Ai Nakano asked impatiently.
"In the bag, on top. Take it yourself. ”
Yu Murakami opens the cap and starts a new round of tasting.
"Huh? Is it this beret? I love it! Is this one for me? ”
Yu Murakami put down his drink, and Ai Nakano had already put her white beret on her head.
"Of course." Yu Murakami screwed the cap on, it was not delicious: "This is the best beret I could buy after traveling all over Shikoku and spending all the money I earned from this event." Wearing her, the women of the entire Shikoku will be overshadowed and admit that you are the most beautiful woman this spring. ”
Ai Nakano adjusted the position of the hat with both hands, and said to him with a smile, "Why did you suddenly say such a shy thing." ”
"I miss you."
"Really?"
"Of course. I never lie. Yuyoshi Murakami is speaking.
Ai Nakano gave him a blank look.
