120. Some people want to hide, some people choose to convey.
Akihabara.
An event is being held at a small to medium-sized event venue that is only a three-minute walk away from Akihabara Station.
In the past, it was mostly used as a venue rented to bands or underground idols to hold live performances. It often emitted deafening singing and intense cheering and cheering from otakus.
Today, for the first time, it can end quietly.
To explain why, seiyuu events are not the kind of activities that require singing and dancing. The most exciting part is nothing more than the interaction between seiyuu actors and the various unexpected accidents that happen at once.
In the rest room backstage, the voice actors who voiced the main characters had gathered together. They had finished dressing up and were chatting.
There are a total of five voice actors in the lineup, three of whom are from the same voice actor agency, and there is only one male.
Four female voice actors were sitting together chatting with each other. In the corner of the rest room, the only male voice actor was sitting on a chair, silently looking at the script in his hand, his head always lowered.
Even if a female voice actor asked him to sit over, he would always shake his head, unwilling to join the group.
Saori Konishi, who plays the second (third?) female lead, is chatting with a female senior from the same agency.
"Xiao Xi, have you lost weight recently?"
"Eh? Is there any?"
"Yeah! You've obviously lost weight. If you continue like this, you will have small breasts like me, and your husband will dislike you." The female voice actor wearing glasses said such words without hesitation.
A male voice actor who was sitting quietly in a corner, watching the script alone, quietly raised his hands to cover his ears, almost facing the wall.
"Don't be like this, senior. Even I can't have a smaller bust than Mr. Shimono."
"Hey! Xiaoxi, you really dare to say that, I am a senior."
"Obviously it was senior who mentioned it first."
"Well, because I am a senior."
"And bring something like this."
Because they were the only married female voice actors present, the two people next door found themselves embarrassed and found an excuse to sneak out of the rest room.
As for the guy in the corner, this is not the place to tell his story, so just ignore him for now.
"Xiaoxi, when I meet you in the club recently, you always look very haggard."
"I'm very grateful for your concern, senior, but I'm fine. As you can see, I'm alive and kicking."
"Well...since you said so, let's just take it as such."
To be honest, she couldn't see where Saori Konishi was alive at all.
"Speak of it, Xiaoxi."
"yes."
"That girl Sakura, isn't it a little strange lately?"
"Sakira? Well... we met on the set two days ago. I feel the same as usual, and my speech is still very awkward."
"That guy has been saying a lot of inexplicable things to me online recently. I don't know who offended her, but he didn't say anything when I asked her. It's really troublesome."
"Is there such a thing?"
"I can't go into too much detail, but I have a hunch that it is definitely related to men."
"Man? That Sakura? How is that possible? She is not the kind of person who would get involved with men."
"I was thinking whether she was fascinated by the content on the website I sent her and started to have needs."
"What on earth did you show to the juniors?"
"Want to know?"
"No need, senior."
"Excuse me. Matsuoka-san, Yahagi-san, and Konishi-san, it's almost time to go on stage."
The staff pushed open the door of the lounge and informed them of the stage announcement.
After leaving the lounge, wait for the host on the stage to make the opening remarks, and the voice actors of the starring roles enter one after another.
Saori Konishi was the fourth one to take the stage. She gathered her emotions, took steps, and subconsciously looked for a certain figure in the audience.
"Good evening everyone, I am Saori Konishi, who voices Sawamura Spencer and Eri..."
He recited the self-introduction engraved in his mind with a natural expression, smiled as always to cater to others, and let out exaggerated laughter from time to time, perfectly interpreting the persona of a "comic artist".
This is her specialty.
Today, Saori Konishi still shows superb acting skills that even disgust her, allowing her mask to blend into her cheeks.
It seems that he is greeting the audience in every direction, but in fact he only wants to see a specific person.
Unfortunately, she didn't find it.
Well, that's a given.
Fortunately she couldn't find it.
Otherwise, her acting skills may be affected.
But even Saori Konishi, who is good at acting, can't show her acting skills that can deceive her heart. She can't help but think:
Who will he be with now?
…
…
Akihabara.
live house across.
Inside the concert hall.
"Across! We are blessing star!"
On the stage, a familiar girl, wearing a black and red singing uniform, stood in the center, with a dazzling smile on her face, sparkling and heart-beating.
Mogami Kazuto was still standing at the very back. Fortunately, he had a certain height advantage and could see the stage clearly.
The one who sang on the stage was already surrounded by people, breaking away from the embrace of loneliness.
The one listening in the audience, there is nothing wrong with choosing to reconcile with loneliness and enjoy it.
【However, I want to thank Mogami-san for his help, and I also want to do something for Mogami-san.】
【Then...please listen to one of my wishes?】
【Wish? Mogami-san’s wish, is...what?】
[Sing with all your strength, release the light with all your strength, let me see the star you are chasing. In that case, maybe I can become like you and have dreams.]
The sound of musical instruments sounded colorfully. It was no longer the guitar solo of the past. Surrounded by the surrounding music, the girl in the center of the stage sang loudly.
…
…
So awesome…
I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't see anything, but the audience was clearly so close that I could reach it at my fingertips.
But I couldn't see them at all.
What I have always pursued is to let more people hear my singing, to shine in front of more people, and to feel the heartbeat that I hope for.
I must have been singing, because my hand on the piano didn't stop.
Well, no problem. As the first performance of the new blessing star, I will not do anything to embarrass the band. I must make today's performance the best live.
However, the incredible thing is that I couldn't take my eyes away from that man, and my ears were filled with the words he once said to me.
Rather than an audience of hundreds of people, I wish I could sing to him alone.
This must be a disease.
Well, it is definitely a disease.
However, I don't want to be cured.
Enjoying the slightly sour pain, I will capture you today so that you will no longer regard me as a child, so that you have to look at me squarely.
Please, my music, please, my singing, convey this feeling.
Communicate it to that person and make him look only at me.
Convey it...
Chapter completed!
