379. It's midsummer
Early in the morning, Murakami heard the alarm ringing on his mobile phone clearly.
Turning over to the bedside table where the phone was placed, he reached for it and approached it, ready to turn off the alarm clock.
Today is Wednesday, June 1st. It's half past six, but it's already dawn outside the window.
Getting up to wash, make breakfast, and quickly prepare everything, he went to wake up Ai Nakano.
Expertly knocking on the door, Yu Murakami opened the door. Then he saw Ai Nakano rubbing her eyes on her bed, looking like she hadn't woken up.
"Nakano, why didn't you get up by yourself today without me calling?"
"Ah, Murakami-kun. I used to be a self-reliant person, so I can't let you wake me up every time. In a daze, Ai Nakano replied.
"Then I don't care, remember to hurry up and have breakfast."
"Hmm."
At half past seven in the morning, the two of them took their belongings and prepared to go out to the recording site of "Swinging Camping".
Walking on the way to the head of the tram, Murakami felt the breeze that had not yet fully warmed up, and was somewhat comfortable: "It was right to leave for the scene early today." ”
"Murakami-kun, why did you suddenly say this?"
"Isn't it very comfortable to be blown by the wind right now?"
"That's because Tokyo has started to cool down in the past two days, and it's about to start the rainy season." Ai Nakano waved her mobile phone to Murakami and signaled the weather forecast above.
"Nakano, you don't even say that I haven't noticed yet, it's already midsummer on June 1."
"Well, it's June so soon. I always feel that the past two months have been really fast. ”
"yes, why do I think it's a little slow?"
"Murakami-kun, isn't there such a thing as time fast and slow? It all depends on our subjective feelings. ”
"Nakano, I don't see it, you're still a philosopher." Yu Murakami faces forward and speaks casually.
Ai Nakano walked to his right.
"Murakami-kun, you're making fun of me again! The last time I took the train to Hakone, you laughed at me for telling me to read more books! ”
"I'm serious, Nakano, you do have a lot of thought."
"Don't talk about that. Murakami-kun, after the recording of "Swaying Camping" is finished today, can you come with me to the filming holy place of "Passerby Heroine"? Ai Nakano was carrying her bag and looked at Yu Murakami slightly.
"Framing the Holy Land, do you mean the high slope of Hui Station?" Yu Murakami was a little stunned when he heard this.
"That's right."
"Why did you suddenly remember this?"
"Oh, two days ago, the producer of "Passerby Heroine" found the producer of "Sweater Wine Tasting", saying that it was to warm up the theatrical version and to carry out another linkage." Ai Nakano briefly recounted the origin of the matter.
"I shouldn't have to go."
"Murakami-kun, don't you like to drink a lot?" Ai Nakano faintly heard the reluctance in Murakami's tone.
"It's still not necessary to drink on the show." Yu Murakami made her reluctance clear.
"Don't worry, it's just me, Anno-san, and Onishi." Seeing Yu Murakami's performance like this, Ai Nakano replied with a smile.
"Huh? So what does this have to do with framing? Yu Murakami, who found that the topic seemed to be pulled away, pulled the topic back.
"The producer wants you, as the male lead, to draw a portrait of the heroines."
"Are there any specific restrictions?"
"Just say that you can draw at will, there is no limit."
"I see."
……
The two are still the first voice actors to come to the recording site, and they are also the first to meet Hitoshi Akitagawa. Hitoshi Akita Kawa also repeated his old trick and pulled Yu Murakami into the smoking room again.
However, this time he didn't smoke, but just asked the question: "Murakami, I heard that you are going to audition for the "Fifth Equal Flower Wedding" soon?" ”
"yes, it's Friday." Without thinking, Murakami replied directly.
"Well, in that case, the timing of 'Swing Camping' is quite a coincidence for you." Akita Kawahito patted the back of the other with one hand, looking a little proud.
"I said Rensang, isn't that what you called me over for?"
"That's it, now that I'm done, it's time for me to prepare for the next episode."
Leaving Yu Murakami, Akita Kawahito left the smoking room and went straight to the guidance room.
This time, he didn't meet Saori Onishi and Mizurai.
As the penultimate inclusion of "Swaying Camping", the plot of the entire animation has been carried out for more than half of the time. Therefore, according to the progress of the plot, the conflict between the characters of Mizurai and Miss Sakura basically disappears.
In other words, at least at the time of the inclusion, they couldn't find a chance to oppose each other. When it's time to rest, Yu Murakami can't be sure.
However, with Yu Murakami's more and more proficient dodging skills now, he can probably make himself disappear before the two quarrel. Or when the two of them quarrel, eat or read with the lowest sense of existence.
In short, after four rounds of training, he has become quite proficient in coping methods.
After leaving the smoking room and entering the dubbing room, I waited for a while, and the female voice actors arrived one after another.
Yu Murakami maintained a posture of only saying hello and not talking, and sat quietly in the corner for more than ten minutes, waiting for everyone to arrive.
After Akita Kawahito announced the start of the recording, Yu Murakami just said a few words and left the dubbing scene through the door from the dubbing room to the guidance room.
Akita Kawahito looked at Yu Murakami's obviously hurried appearance, and asked with a smile: "Murakami, it's just a matter of asking a few good words, as for being so nervous that you leave so quickly?" ”
"I just want the recording to start quickly, and there are other things to do in the afternoon."
"Really?"
"Yes, I have something to deal with with Nakano."
"I see." Akita Kawahito let out an intentional "oh" and officially began the recording.
And what exactly he will realize, Yu Murakami doesn't know, and he is not very interested.
It took about three hours for everyone to complete the collection of the ninth episode. Considering that the inclusion requires completeness, it is best to write a whole sentence in one go, and Akita Kawahito gave priority to all the voices to rest and eat to prepare for the afternoon recording.
So, in a rare occurrence, at half past eleven, an hour-long break began.
In this process, Nana Higashiyama sowed discord and guided Yu Murakami from time to time in the war. Miss Sakura was deflated several times, and poured her anger on Yu Murakami, and finally pulled Yu Murakami out of the lounge under the pretext of excuses.
Mizurai has largely maintained her victory in the war with Miss Sakura, and from time to time she will post in the "Tokyo Voice Actors Poor Tour" to record her victory. Ai Nakano and Chixia Akasaki continued to chat in private, while Saori Onishi and Yumu Bi concentrated on eating, and opened a stored tricky variety show while eating.
Risa Taneda took the "five-part flower dowry" and watched quietly alone, without making any sound.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the tenth episode of "Swaying Camping" was recorded.
Akita Kawahito, like the previous times, said hello to everyone early and left on his own. As for Yu Murakami, since the first failed attempt to use Akita Kawahito as a shield, there has been no similar thought.
At least in the presence of Akita Kawahito, it would be difficult to do that. And casually mentioning it during live broadcasts or events, it's still not a big problem.
"Murakami, it's going to be audition on Friday, why don't you come to Sakuraso today to check the script with us?" The peerless beauty looked at the back of Akita Kawahito departing and made a very serious suggestion.
"Seconded! Practice is required before the audition! Nana Higashiyama raised her right hand in the air, expressing her approval.
"I have something to deal with today's 'passerby heroine', farming and Higashiyama, if you want to practice, I can come to Sakuraso with Nakano tomorrow." Yu Murakami answered the request of Risa Taneda and Nana Higashiyama, but his eyes looked at Miss Sakura, who was about to speak.
To the effect that it really won't work today, don't open your mouth.
After all, the so-called spirit of speech can only be done by saying it. If you keep the words in your mouth first, then naturally there will be no words.
After throwing down the phrase "see you tomorrow", Yu Murakami left the studio with Ai Nakano.
"Nakano, do you remember where the ramp where Megumi and Ryoya met?"
"Well, it seems to be within the boundaries of Shinjuku Ward? I don't remember very clearly, wait for me to look it up. ”
Ai Nakano took out her phone, glanced at the memo, and entered the recorded content into the search engine.
"Ah, it's near Takadanobaba, it's not too far from here, and there is also a tram stop nearby, so it was very convenient in the past." Ai Nakano looked at the information she found and replied as she browsed it.
"Murakami-kun, let's go now?" She looked up at Yu Murakami.
"Yes."
"What about the paintings that you were asked to draw?"
"Nakano, you forgot, memory is also one of my strengths." Yu Murakami's tone was very firm, calming Nakano Ai's questions.
"Alright, then we'll go over now."
"Wait a minute, let's go home first and get some things before we go."
"Murakami-kun! Didn't you just say that there is no problem in the past now? Why did you change your hexagram temporarily? ”
"We'll talk about it when we get home." Pulling the somewhat unknown Ai Nakano, Yu Murakami took her home.
"So Murakami-kun, don't you need to explain it to me?" Ai Nakano's expression looked a little dissatisfied.
"Nakano, I want to ask you a question." Yu Murakami's expression looked serious.
"I'm only going to draw one character, because it's just you and me who go to the scene, and you're the only one as a model."
"Wait a minute, why did you take me as a model without permission!" Ai Nakano's face flushed slightly.
She's still a little shy about people she likes to take her as a painting object so seriously.
"This involves an important issue about the characters, Nakano, you listen to me first."
"Hmm."
"Do you want me to draw Kasumigaoka Shiha, or Megumi Kato?" While talking, Yu Murakami picked up the pen and paper he had already taken and wrote the names of the two heroines on it.
"Huh? Shouldn't this matter be decided by Murakami-kun yourself? And what about the English pear? Ai Nakano's expression was a little strange.
Yu Murakami looked at her expression and said knowingly: "Nakano, I mean, whether it is Kasumigaoka Shiyu or Megumi Kato, they will paint based on you, and Yingli Li is naturally not in the scope of consideration." ”
"Then Murakami-kun, which of these two heroines do you like?"
"Hmm......"
"Don't lie! Tell me the truth! Looking at Yu Murakami's somewhat hesitant expression, Ai Nakano emphasized.
"Well, it's the same as I said on the previous show, it's still Megumi Kato." After thinking about it for a while, Yu Murakami chose to give an honest answer.
"Okay, I see. Murakami-kun, you wait for me for a while, I'll go change my clothes. ”
Leaving Yu Murakami behind, Ai Nakano returned to her room.
After a while, she finished changing her clothes and walked out.
Holding the beret that Yu Murakami gave her when she returned from Shikoku.
"It's Nakano, and he understood what I meant so quickly." Yu Murakami clapped his hands and praised.
"Murakami-kun, you don't want me to role-play, do you?" Ai Nakano stared into his eyes, trying to discover something.
"Why, since Nakano you're ready, let's go." Yu Murakami took Ai Nakano's hand and took her out of the house before she could react.
It took about half an hour to get from home to the fate ramp of Megumi Kato. It's about five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time for the sun to set.
"Nakano, does this sakado have a name?"
"I remember it was called Kazusaka."
The two stood at the bottom of the slope and looked up at the scene on the slope.
"Let's go, I have to bring you up before I can come down to film." Yu Murakami said in an unquestioning tone, taking Ai Nakano's hand.
"Murakami-kun, I feel like you've changed a little bit today."
"Really? Maybe that's what I'm like when it comes to making art. ”
"Liar! When you drew "Swing Camping", it was a lot more perfunctory than it is now! ”
"After all, it's a week." Speaking of this, Yu Murakami changed the subject, "Nakano, why did you say that Megumi Kato took Ryonya's hand and invited him on a date after he was also "betrayed" by Shiyu and Eiri Ritsu? ”
"Maybe she's slowly liking Lun, right? Can't bear to see him sad about this, and want to get him back up and continue to exert his delusional spirit in "Blessing Software"? ”
Ai Nakano's tone wasn't quite sure.
"So, you said that at that time, did Megumi decide to make herself the heroine of Lunya?"
"I guess so. Otherwise, why would she be so happy because of the hat that Len also gave her? ”
"That's why she followed the image of Lun Ye's heart and became his passer-by heroine wholeheartedly."
There was his own conviction in Murakami's words.
He turned his head to look at Ai Nakano: "So, Nakano, I just asked you, do you want me to draw Megumi or Shiyu." ”
"I understand." Ai Nakano gently raised the beret in her hand and put it on top of her head.
"So, you've decided to be that humble heroine?" Yu Murakami asked with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Murakami-kun! Didn't this decision come down two months ago? ”
She let go of Yu Murakami's hand and walked to the top of the ramp, turning to face him.
"Didn't you already make up your mind, Murakami-kun?"
A smile bloomed on her face, and for a moment, everything around her became her foil.
Under the midsummer sunset, he was depicting her wholeheartedly.
