294. A quagmire that can extricate itself
Knowing that JK no longer looks down on love hotels, Yu Murakami, who has become keen on high-end hotels, returns to Sakuraso.
Others have returned.
He entered the living room, and before he could sit down, he said:
"Murakami-kun, I've asked you about the sauce again. Ask why you don't go, if you dislike her for having cancer. ”
Murakami didn't say anything to prove that he wouldn't dislike anyone because of cancer — he was more hands-on than action.
"Whatever happens, you have to go next weekend!" Sakura Suzune looked at him and changed to a slightly aggrieved tone: "You'll feel inferior if you continue like this." ”
"Yes, Murakami-kun. You can't be such a person. "This time it's Ai Nakano.
Yu Murakami nodded.
On Monday, October 19, he specially confirmed the itinerary with Akira Ishida to ensure that he was free on Sunday.
Other invitations to sing, drink, and eat were also declined.
Even so, Yu Murakami still didn't make it.
On Friday, October 23, Risa Taneda suddenly moved to Kamakura to recuperate.
It was noon when I learned the news, and Yu Murakami was on the Chuo Line train, looking at the weekly magazine "Bunharu" published yesterday, and was about to go to Kanda to read a book.
Farming: I went to Kamakura to recuperate, and I lived in Kamakura Palace
Farming: It's not a famous spot, but it's easier to find than my house
After reading the news, Yu Murakami didn't know what to say, so he had to put away his phone and continue to read "Wenchun" magazine.
On the page, [A man wearing a mask, suspected of being a domoto kaito, and a woman who was also wearing a mask and dressed as a female high school student, walked out of the hotel together. 】
But not a single word of the text accompanying this picture can be seen.
He's thinking about what to do next.
If you want to stop associating with Taneda Risa like Tamako, now is the best time.
In the case of Risa Taneda's voice, it is a question of whether he can continue to engage in the voice actor profession, let alone get the heroine service again and cooperate with him again.
Although "The Spirit of the Halberd" has not announced the news of the role change, I am afraid it will be sooner or later.
It's a sure fact that Risa Taneda likes herself, but does she like her?
Like.
A peerless beauty who can sing, can dance, and narcissist, who doesn't like it.
There is no doubt about it.
The problem is that she is not the only one I like, and she is not the one I like the most.
When I went to Kamakura to see her, of course, I could join other people, in the name of friends.
But if it continues like this, is it really good for Risa Tanada?
In addition, cutting off contact like this, although it doesn't matter how people look at it, but it is not a result that he can accept if he is considered to be "disgusted that the other party has cancer and has a scar on his neck", and makes the other party fall into an inferiority complex.
The liking for each other is not a rope that will be broken, but it must be a long wait before it is possible to usher in the white night at dusk.
This is not some hypocrisy, but reality, a problem that must be faced and solved sooner or later.
The train was not Kanda yet, so he got off the train, and it was Yotsuya Station.
He threw the weekly magazine "Wenchun", which he hadn't read a single word, into the trash can in the station.
After leaving the station, we walked across the Iida Bridge and came to Ochanomizu.
I've come a long way, and I still can't make up my mind.
Yuu Murakami felt that he was sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire of a dilemma.
The lunch break was almost gone, so he took the nearest Toei Oedo Line to the afternoon activity location.
I bought a newspaper to pass the time on the road.
After the train left Bunkyo Ward and arrived in Taito Ward, Yu Murakami gave up thinking - even if he decided to go to Kamakura, it would not be a ticket for tonight.
He spread out the newspaper.
[Setagaya entire apartment - three floors
Price: 348 million yen
Address: 3-8-14 Kitatusan, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
Access: 9-minute walk from Chitose Karasan Station on the Keio Line
Loanable ......】
Yu Murakami stopped and looked at the newspaper from top to bottom, from front to back, and it turned out to be full of real estate information.
He actually paid for an advertisement?
This newspaper is really good, Murakami sighed inwardly.
In the afternoon, it was the "Sword Art Online" event, the second season of "TV shopping programs" for discs, peripherals, and figures.
As the host, the cabbage wearing a beret has a petite and weak body as always.
There is a chance to be like a hamster, wanting to drill into Murakami's arms.
After the show, Mitsumi Nail Miya talked to Yu Murakami about the position of president.
The old president, Yasuyasu Fujita, is also entangled.
Either take the money and completely give up the YM firm to others; Either support the Northwest and still be the owner of YM Firm.
The former is to sell a lifetime's hard work to others; Choosing the latter has a popular voice actor and a well-connected agent to leave, and the firm is at risk of not being replaced.
"That is, how will it end now, everything is unknown?" After listening to the information, Yu Murakami asked.
"If the president was young, I'm sure he would choose money. But now that he is old and has made enough money, if he loses interest in making money, he will choose to continue to own the firm. ”
"Is it possible that he will give you the position of president and continue to hold all the shares of the firm?"
"He had already mentioned it to me, but I refused." "I'm not interested in the president, and I deal with men and drink every day. ”
"What about you?"
Nail Gong Weixi smiled, "Murakami-kun, do you know what games I usually like to play?" ”
"Monster Hunter?"
"Hmm...... Count one. In short, it is a game that needs to collect resources and grow by yourself step by step. I don't know if other people who play this kind of game have the mentality that they have worked hard to create a great career, and finally hand it over to the heir. ”
"What's the idea?" Yu Murakami didn't understand.
"I don't know." Nailiya shrugged playfully, "But once I do that, I feel a sense of self-satisfaction and a sense of relief." That's enough. ”
"So you made up your mind that you would become the president of YM or not, and pass it on to me? Thus gaining self-satisfaction? ”
"Preferably YM. It's annoying for me to create a firm from start to finish. ”
Yu Murakami was even more puzzled and asked her, "Didn't you say that you like to grow step by step?" ”
"If reality can be like a game, and you only need to press the [ABXY] button for everything, I won't be bothered by it."
"Oh."
"Huh?" The memory is okay, and he raised his eyebrows, "Murakami-kun, which young female voice actor are you thinking about?" ”
“...... No. The meaning of "oh" just now is: understand your thoughts. ”
"Feeling like you're not interested in my values?"
"It's just that I'm in a bad mood today."
"What's wrong? Like President Yasuyasu Fujita, caught in a dilemma? Nail Gong Weixi quipped.
"I just bought a newspaper full of real estate. Intimidated by house prices. ”
"Hahaha!" Nail Gong Weixi smiled and bent down, "Don't worry, when I finish enjoying the position of president, I will give you the position." When the time comes, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's house will not be up to you. ”
"The firm's annual profit is only 150 million yen, so how can you choose whatever you want, excluding the various expenses for the coming year?"
"I said," Nail Palace looked at Yu Murakami angrily, "You live alone, how many good houses do you want to buy?" ”
"Hmm." Yu Murakami hadn't thought about it and wasn't interested in it.
He changed the subject: "How much money is raised now?" Don't wait for the president to choose to sell the office, but lose to Ishida-san. ”
"Seven or eight billion. Last year's valuation of YM was worth 2 billion yen, including me. It should be enough. ”
Yu Murakami nodded.
It is almost impossible to earn 100 million yuan from the main business of voice actor alone, in a lifetime. The fact that he was able to come up with so much money was also saved by relying on his fame and various side jobs.
Maybe I asked the bank to borrow some of it.
Dinggong Weixi asked him, "How much have you prepared?" ”
"Me? Ten million. ”
Murakami didn't know how much money he had, but he only remembered the 10 million he won from betting on horses.
"If you didn't donate 800 million yuan, maybe you could become the president directly, do you regret it?"
"Regret." Yu Murakami nodded in agreement.
After separating from Nail Palace, because the conversation just now mentioned 800 million, Yu Murakami remembered that he was blocked in the corner by Higashiyama's father and Miss Shishin at Suntory Concert Hall, and made a promise to donate 1 billion.
And if you want to win a billion, you can only buy a set of year-end lottery tickets that will be drawn on December 31, and it is possible to complete it all at once.
Usually ordinary lottery tickets, it is impossible to get a billion by buying a group.
Yu Murakami passed by a lottery kiosk with a large string of "0" written on the door number and gave up his intention to go in.
In the evening, Suzune Sakura talked excitedly about going to Kamakura.
"I've always been very uncomfortable going to see her at the house where I grow sauce. Now, you can travel while visiting the sick! ”
"Will you go tomorrow?" Higashiyama wore a mask, and when he spoke, his tender little mouth barely moved.
"Not this month." Suzune Sakura said regretfully, ""The Seven Magicians have just been released, and I have to participate in various stage greetings all the time. Only wait for November. ”
Murakami breathed a sigh of relief, but his thoughts, which had been relaxed, fell into the quagmire again.
President Yasuyasu Fujita is the same as himself now, right?
Yu Murakami didn't come, and suddenly sympathized with this old man who was obviously going to retire and enjoy happiness, but he was facing such an entanglement.
But the reality is so cruel.
No one will let him go the way he wants, and no one will help him.
"Murakami-kun, what are you thinking?" Ai Nakano looked at him suspiciously.
Murakami came back to his senses, "I saw a real estate newspaper today, and I was frightened by the current housing prices. I knew I wouldn't donate in the first place. ”
Ai Nakano glanced at him charmingly and funny:
"Since you've already donated, don't say that. If someone else knows about you, they will say bad things about you. ”
"Only in Sakuraso."
"Is Brother Yu going to buy a house?" You Mubi, who was lying on the panda doll reading a book, cast her eyes over.
Yu Murakami slowly lay down on the tatami mat and replied tiredly:
"No money, no money."
"I'll borrow you." Miss Sakura said with a grin.
Yu Murakami waved his hand, which means "not to give in to capitalism".
"What a god! Just ask, you think I'm going to really lend you money?! Miss Sakura put the smooth soles of her feet on Yuu Murakami's ass and pushed it down hard.
"Murakami-kun," said Ai Nakano, "if you are short of money, the 10 million can be repaid to you first." ”
"I'm missing a billion, not the million."
Yu Murakami readjusted his body to a comfortable position and flipped through the second volume of "After the Decline of Humanity".
"Oh! Billion? Higashiyama put his index finger on his chin and seemed happy, "Is Murakami-kun planning to buy a big house somewhere?" ”
"A billion." You Mubi repeated in a {this is completely impossible} tone and continued to read.
"A billion house, um......" Ai Nakano didn't quite understand why she wanted to buy such a luxurious residence.
"Billion?" Miss Sakura's eyes lit up, and she seemed to understand why she wanted to buy such a luxurious residence.
Her sparkling eyes glared at Yu Murakami with disgust, and she pursed her lips and smiled beautifully.
"Huh?"
Miss Sakura ignored Yu Murakami's confused eyes, turned her face away, and discussed with Higashiyama the end of tomorrow's stage greetings, and went to do a manicure together.
The last Monday of October flies by, and in the blink of an eye it is the last month of autumn.
Some of the autumn leaves have already entered the color change period ahead of schedule, and Takaoyama Park is probably starting to prepare for the annual autumn leaf festival.
Yu Murakami took the September manuscript and rushed to the Shock Editorial Office.
"Murakami-kun," Kagura Saka knocked on the table with her hand, "You don't think that October 31 to November 1 is just two ordinary days, right?" ”
"I'm sorry."
"I used to think that the most annoying thing was the author who dragged his manuscript. Now I found out that what was more excessive than procrastination was the author who said that the manuscript would be delivered at the end of the month, but it was the author who delivered the manuscript on the first day of next month! ”
"Hmm."
"Since you have delivered the manuscript on the first day, then please make it possible for you to deliver the manuscript on the first day in December, no problem, right?" Kagurazaka said unquestionably.
"If you can."
"Ugh." Kagurazaka let out a tired and heavy sigh.
Unlike the light side, Yu Murakami never delays his manga drafts, and his readership grows very rapidly.
When I met with Kawabata, he said that a publisher had come to my door to discuss the matter of a single book.
But he refused, citing the fact that the newcomer award was almost certain to be "Swinging Travel".
When you get the reward, there will be bigger publishers coming to your door, and you can get more benefits.
Yu Murakami is not interested in this or that, and is still full of women's affairs.
Fortunately, Suzune Sakura and the others thought that Risa Taneda was not a patient, so they were not in a hurry to visit, and decided to find a sunny weekend to go over so that they could go out together.
And today, November 1st, Sunday, is a rainy day, so there is no need to go to Kamakura.
Yu Murakami walked out of the shock building with an umbrella and prepared to go to the party of the manga artist Karu's family.
At the cocktail party, the light family was very dissatisfied with him joining the ranks of cartoonists, and asked him to help draw illustrations for free, otherwise they would not let him go.
The cartoonist welcomed him very much, but he just persuaded him to give up the reluctantly serialized light book and focus on the comics.
After a long while, the topic finally shifted:
The nineteenth [Gray and Fantasy Grimmgar] can be animated, and the fifteenth [I, a male high school student and a popular light writer, am being choked by a female classmate who is younger than me and is working as a voice actor] Why can't it be animated.
"Why?!" Shi Yu Zehui yelled at the top of his voice, "Fourteen's "Passerby Heroine", sixteen's "Stupid, Quiz, Summoning Beasts", have all been animated, why can't fifteen!" ”
......
Yumasa Murakami watched Keiichi Yuzawa when everyone was taunting, and Yuto Suktaku suddenly came over to talk to him.
"Murakami-kun, Shueisha and JC are already asking me if there are any new female voice actors to recommend for [Erina Nagikiri]."
"Yes." Yu Murakami picked up his wine glass, raised it halfway and gave up: "Did the production team inform you about farming?" ”
"Nope." Yuto Tsukuda shook his head, "My opinion is to wait and see." What if the illness of Taneda-san is cured before the start of the next season? ”
"Your opinion alone is useless, is it?"
"I like the combination of the two of you, it's a good feeling to stand together, so of course you have to fight for it."
Yu Murakami nodded.
"What, you hate farming?" Yuto Sukuda asked curiously.
"No, I love working with her too."
Yuto Sukuda laughed, then sighed.
"If Taneda-san's illness really can't support dubbing, there's no way. I can't force her to dub just because I like you two, right? What's more, I don't even say it alone. ”
"The body is more important."
"yes, but it's a pity. I like you two. ”
At the bar in the distance, Wataru and Shi Yuzawa Megumi competed for the microphone at first.
In life, everyone is fighting for what they like, but is it okay emotionally?
Yu Murakami and Yuto Okita clinked glasses and took a sip of wine.
