Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 880: Nitro-chan’s belly is full!

It's Tuesday, and Nishimiya Naoko took a rare day off today.

This was really rare for a good girl like her. If Hojo Kyosuke hadn't been sleeping on the table, Hiratsuka Shizuka would have suspected that this guy had abducted Nozomi.

Because in Neon high schools, both sick leave and personal leave will be counted as absence, and Nishimiya Glass is the kind of kid who would insist on going to school even when someone hit her head with a stone and it bled in elementary school.

"Eh? Xiaojing, you don't know yet? It's about work."

In the office, Yukino Momoka explained to Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.

"Work……?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned, and subconsciously thought that she dropped out of school and worked part-time because she was unable to pay the tuition, but she reacted the next second.

"Ahhh! It's the voice actor!"

She shouted with some excitement, but luckily they were in a separate smoking room, so there was no risk of being heard.

While drinking flower tea and being forced to inhale second-hand smoke, Yukino smiled gently and nodded slightly. She was responsible for arranging the leave for Nozomi.

"In fact, if Hojo-kun hadn't been too tired from socializing yesterday and wanted to sleep, he should have asked for leave today."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka extinguished her cigarette in displeasure and said with a curled lip:

"I won't tell you how outrageous it is that you didn't ask for leave just to sleep in school, Yukino!"

She raised another lit cigarette and pointed it at her friend on the sofa opposite her, complaining unhappily:

"I don't know why you insist on calling that kid "Hojo-kun", but at least show me your authority as a teacher in school!"

The short-haired beauty smiled and gently fanned her hands to dispel the disgust lingering in front of her nose.

It is called a smoking room, but in fact it is just a small room in the office separated by boards. It has no doors and no ceiling, so everyone in the office is smelling secondhand smoke.

Fortunately, there are many teachers who smoke in the school, so even non-smokers are used to enduring it. In fact, there are also many who start smoking right when they sit down, and even some old-school teachers are used to holding a cigarette between their fingers when educating students.

Well, Mr. Hiratsuka, I'm talking about you. Why do you look like a Showa uncle?

Today, Nishimiya Glass attended the rehearsal of the animation production launch conference of "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors".

For games or animation sequels that have already gained some fame, or animations adapted from novels or comics, a launch conference will be held if conditions permit. The main purpose is to promote the work and let everyone know that the work has started and that they can look forward to it.

Some will sell tickets online, draw lots from old fans, or simply give them away for free. It all depends on whether there is sufficient funding and how strong the appeal is.

The main force of the launch conference is generally popular voice actors, as well as game and animation directors. The former are responsible for popularity support and also have to interact with the audience through performances; the latter are responsible for answering professional questions about the production, that is, blowing big words and praising the production crazily, waiting to be scolded after producing shitty work.

Some will also invite the original author of the comic or novel, mainly based on popularity, whoever is more popular will be invited, in short, everything is for publicity. However, unlike voice actors, the original author still has a very high status in the production team, and no one can force him to come even if he does not come.

But voice actors are different. If they dare not come and cooperate, even if they are popular voice actors, they will not be able to get roles easily in the future. Whether they cooperate with publicity is also an important part of selecting voice actors. After all, this is the era of idol voice actors, and everything is based on popularity.

"I feel a little lonely when I can't see the back of Nitro-chan's head."

Yamauchi Sakura lay on the table, mumbling listlessly, his head being pushed up little by little by his chin.

Next to her was Hojo Kyosuke, who was lying on the table in the same position. This guy was tall and had long arms, so his hands naturally hung down and almost fell to the ground.

"Yeah, I don't even feel safe when I sleep. I always feel like Jing is glaring at me. I almost had a nightmare."

Obviously, it's not just Nozomi who is looking forward to high school life with Kyosuke and Sakura, but these two people can't live without her.

Yingliang moved her head, turned her head with her face pressed against the table and looked at the boy next to her, and said softly: "This is the first time that Naoko will appear in public, right? Will she be nervous? Will she? No way? After all, she has been working hard for so long."

Hojo Kyosuke also turned his head and looked into Sakura's amber eyes, and said uneasily:

"Should I go with her after all?"

As the most popular man in Japan in the past two months, or this year, he was naturally on the list of invitations to the launch conference. The fact that such a popular and well-known cartoonist was the original artist was a huge selling point. Otherwise, why would the animation production committee be so generous to directly send several characters including the main role?

"Don't even think about it, Kyousuke, you absolutely can't go!"

Yingliang raised her foot and kicked someone with her toes, warning:

"This is Nitro-chan's battle! Didn't you see that even Eriri didn't go?"

Eriri, who is also an original artist, is not well-known in the industry. The only two items she can write on her resume are "participated in the original painting production of "One Punch Man" and drew the poster for "The Dream and Death of Writer K"." But she can't hide the fact that she is a super beautiful girl.

As long as she stands on the stage with a flourish and announces gorgeously that she will be the original artist, wouldn't the otakus in the audience be excited and go crazy?

There is no way, this is a world where looks matter. Haven't you seen that even in the novels and animations, the male and female protagonists who look ordinary still have exquisite portraits? People often complain that the super cute actresses in the movies play the heroines who "look very ordinary and are bullied". If they really put a passerby in, who would watch it!

But it is obvious that Miss Spencer cannot be invited just because she wants to.

"Did you know that there will be a regular exam next week? Huh? Did you know that? Who has the time to play house with you guys?" - A blonde woman who does not want to reveal her name

"that's true……"

Hojo Kyosuke murmured softly, then turned over and looked out the window.

The sky was as blue as a painting, and the clouds were rich and plump like cauliflowers.

A group of incredibly fat pigeons flew by with bulging bellies, and no one knew where they were going to start their next meal.

"The weather is so nice."

He sighed, then opened the window a little more and slowly closed his eyes.

It would be a shame not to sleep in such nice weather.

On the other side, Shinjuku overflow venue.

Because it was not far from home, Nozomi rushed over early in the morning. The specific time was probably when Kyosuke and Sakura just started their morning reading.

There's nothing she can do. After all, she's a newcomer. To be honest, any handyman in the recording studio has a much higher status than her. She has to call everyone she meets "senior" and there's nothing she does all day except bowing and saying "thank you for your hard work".

The hotel is of a high standard, and the venue has a total of 1,400 seats. It is said that all the tickets have been sold, which means...

"Are you going to stand on the stage and speak to 1,300 people?"

When she thought of this, Nishimiya Naoko's chubby little face couldn't help but tremble, and even her legs went a little weak.

Wash more...

She was prepared to dub in front of the director and colleagues, and was almost used to it, but why didn't she ever tell her that she would have to stand on the stage in front of more than a thousand people?

The girl dressed up nicely today. Specifically, she wore a moonstone-colored skirt with a slightly puffy white hem. The layered design added to her cuteness. She had a big bow tied around her left waist and a bow on her head as decoration.

The gentle color of moonstone makes Glass's hair completely pink. The two strands of hair are separated and fall down in front of the ears, which not only shows the purity and cuteness of a girl, but also adds a bit of reliability.

As expected, the design was completed by the collaboration of Naoka Ueno and Mitsuha Miyamizu.

Originally, Glass didn't want to trouble everyone so much. After all, it was just a rehearsal...

"No! You have to show your momentum from the beginning! Even if it's just a rehearsal! If you go there just like an ordinary person today, then others will think:

'Ah, what kind of shit luck did this little girl have to get the main role? I have to use my status as a senior to bully her! It would be best if I bully her so hard that she gives up the role. Then my chance will come. After all, who else but me would keep practicing hard even though I didn't get the role? Opportunities are reserved for people like me who are prepared! '

That's it! Nitro-chan, don't you know that the competition among voice actors is also very cruel! "

This is what Naoka told her, and Mitsuha nodded vigorously with an expression that said, "I've experienced this kind of tragic past."

Nishimiya Glass looked at Xue Ye who told her that she could only drink the water and lunch box she brought with her, and then looked at Shi Yu who wanted to install a hidden camera on her clothes. She felt that everyone was too nervous, even more nervous than she was...

The girl didn't know how to refuse her friends' kindness, and in the end, she couldn't tell whether she was going to the promotional launch conference or the battlefield in another world while carrying a huge tactical backpack. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't tell Yukino, otherwise she couldn't imagine what the girl who liked to speculate about the world with the strongest malice would do.

At the end of the story, it was still Kyosuke who saved her from danger.

"Anyway, no one will poison Nitro's water, and no one will throw sulfuric acid on her face. The seniors in her office will take good care of her!"

Kyosuke-kun said this, and although the others were relieved immediately, Nitro-chan felt unwell, and her chubby face was trembling slightly.

Yes, those who need to bow and say "thank you for your hard work" all day long are the real new voice actors. But my Nitro has a follower... ahem, a person with connections.

"It's to let everyone know that our Nitro-chan has a background, and he can directly skip the newcomers and become a senior!"

After doing her own hair, Mitsuha said with a smile:

"When the makeup artist asks you what hairstyle you want, just say no, you have a personal stylist! Clothes are also custom made!"

Ah~~ Really, how could I say that Sanye is a personal hairdresser? That's ridiculous~

Before she knew it, Nishimiya Glass had been standing at the hotel entrance in a daze for quite a while.

"What's wrong? Can't you find the venue?"

A pleasant voice came from behind. Glass was startled and quickly turned around and bowed with her eyes closed:

"Good morning, Saki-san."

Saki Kihara will play the role of Chika in "Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors". She is a senior from the same agency who often practiced with Nozomi on weekends.

Glass's first guardian makes his grand appearance!

This is a voice actor who often plays the role of a mature woman in animations. She is 1.7 meters tall and tends to dress in a masculine style. Today, she wore a white shirt, a black jacket and tight jeans, looking quite handsome and cool.

"Good morning, Nitro-chan."

Kihara Saki greeted them with a smile. Voice actors are, after all, also actors. There is no need to explain the status of Japanese actors. If they act like big shots and it gets out, they will be dead soon. So even if she didn't come to look after Nozomi, she would have arrived early.

"I remember the president called you last night to tell you what to pay attention to today. How come you made a mistake in the first step?"

She sat down and took Glass's arm, then led the girl inside while talking.

"Ah, well, maybe I didn't eat enough this morning, so my mind is a little dull..."

Nozomi was too embarrassed to say that she was missing Kyosuke-kun, whom she had just separated from for less than an hour, so she could only lie with a blushing face.

Kihara Saki believed it and quickly asked with concern: "Is that so... Today's job is not easy, how about going to eat something first and then come over?"

"No, no! I, I just want to lose weight!"

The girl waved her hands repeatedly. In fact, Kyosuke had specially prepared a "support meal" for her today to cheer her up, and she now felt her stomach was full.

"lose weight?"

Kihara Saki was stunned, took a big step forward, turned around and looked Nishimiya Naoko up and down.

Although her face is a little chubby, it doesn't affect her cuteness at all. It's more like an enviable fullness of collagen. If she loses this little bit of fat, God will not allow it!

The arms revealed by the puff sleeves are white, tender and slender, the shoulders are flat as if measured with a ruler, and the bow-knotted belt outlines the girl's light waist very well...

"Tsk..."

Saki shook his head and sighed:

"Girls nowadays are really amazing. They are really good at creating anxiety in others."

Glass was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud:

"No way! I'm telling the truth. Look, my belly has gotten fatter!"

She touched her stomach which was filled with Kyousuke-kun's delicious food.

Unexpectedly, Kihara Saki's sound of clicking her tongue became even louder. It has to be said that she is worthy of being a voice actor who has debuted for many years. Even such a simple sound of clicking her tongue contains very rich emotions. One can easily hear the sighs, jealousy, and dissatisfaction in it... In short, she is the kind of person who can express her meaning without speaking, just by clicking her tongue.

"Nitro-chan, you are getting worse and worse. Do you think I don't know that your stomach is full of the cheering meal that Hojo-sensei prepared for you?"

The girl exclaimed: “Ah…!”

"Last night the president asked us to take good care of you, and this morning Mr. Hojo called us again and asked us to..." (End of this chapter)
