337. The voice that belongs to her.
Mogami Kazuto watched from a distance.
The woman surrounded by children gently pulled her hanging hair back behind her ears and read the story in a serious tone.
When encountering the lines spoken by the characters on the scene, they will change their tone of voice, princess, knight, king, and imitate them vividly.
The afternoon sun shines through the window, and the girl shows a peerless smile, feeling the baptism of the sun. Every word she speaks is extremely sacred.
Children suffering from various diseases have smiles on their faces, and girls are everywhere they look.
Even Mogami Kazuto couldn't help but be affected by this warm and peaceful scene. He leaned against the wall and listened to her voice quietly.
Spending time like this doesn't seem like a bad thing.
"Risa-nee is so amazing! She sounds like a real princess!"
"Humph! It doesn't matter if you praise me a few more times!"
"Douye, don't interrupt! I still want to listen to my sister's story."
"Ah! It's the big brother I met yesterday!"
I don't know which child shouted something, and Mogami Kazuto, who was leaning aside and not speaking, suddenly felt countless eyes.
When the woman sitting among the children heard this, she also looked at him.
"Ah! Villager A, you are here!"
She smiled and waved to Mogami Kazuto.
Seeing this, Mogami Kazuto had no choice but to walk over.
"Good afternoon, uh..."
Mogami Kazuto still doesn't know her last name.
"Risa yo."
"Is this a last name?"
She smiled noncommittally.
"If you want to listen, you can sit closer."
A child brought a small bench and smiled sweetly at Mogami Kazuto. After Mogami Kazuto hesitated for a while, he said thank you and sat down here.
Risa glanced at him with a confused look, then quickly looked away and read the storybook in her hand seriously.
Her voice is very contagious, and every time she reads a narration, Mogami and Kazuto can imagine the scene in and out of the book.
Her movement of turning the pages of the book made no sound, which was extremely comforting.
How on earth should be done to make the pages of the book so obedient? Mogami Kazuto couldn't figure it out.
In the middle, Risa coughed a few times, facing the children's eagerly expectant eyes, she didn't even take a sip of the water she put aside, and continued to tell them stories.
One by one, everyone was fascinated by it.
After finally finishing reading the fairy tale book in her hand, Risa just took a sip of water when the little girl sitting next to her handed out another book.
"Can you read it to me this time? My mother just bought it for me yesterday. I want to hear Sister Risa read it to me."
"Tomomi-chan, Risa-san is very tired. You can't say such willful words."
"But... I really want to hear it."
Risa smiled gently, patted the little girl with a regretful face on the head, and said softly: "Okay, sister hasn't said enough yet."
"Really? That's great!"
She took the fairy tale book from the hands of the little girl, made a fist with her left hand and brought it to her mouth, and coughed twice.
Mogami Kazuto noticed her pale face and couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"It's better not to force it."
Risa glanced at him in surprise: "How can this be done? Do you have to let down such a beautiful girl? Besides, I also like telling stories. It doesn't matter."
Mogami and Kazuto stopped talking.
Risa opened the book, and the soft and beautiful voice spread, causing the children around her to enter a state of concentration.
"A long time ago..."
She still persisted in speaking, and her condition was pretty good at first, but as the story progressed, Mogami Kazuto noticed that her voice condition changed.
The most obvious thing is that the breath becomes short and the originally soft voice gradually becomes a bit harsh.
Others may not be able to hear it, but Mogami Kazuto has level 4 dubbing skills and is extremely sensitive to changes in the human voice.
Obviously, her voice is not in good condition.
After every three lines, she would cough lightly. The older children would care about her voice, but only the younger ones would be eager to know the subsequent development of the story.
Mogami Kazuto sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that he probably didn't have the habit of meddling in other people's affairs before.
Now I don’t know why. Wherever there is trouble, I just go there.
He couldn't help but take the book from Risa's hand, and her voice stopped suddenly. Just as she was about to ask him what he was doing, she couldn't help but cough.
Mogami Kazuto ignored her, adjusted his voice, and blurted out a quiet and beautiful female voice.
I can't say whether they are similar, I can only say they are exactly the same.
A little boy who listened to the story with his eyes closed did not even notice that the narrator had changed.
Risa stared at Mogami Kazuto dumbfounded. She forgot to cough at this moment and listened to his acting skills blankly.
A tender girl, a cold-blooded killer, an evil witch, and a charitable old man.
Every character who appears has been given a different voice, without any sense of dissonance.
The voice switching between the character and the narration is without any stagnation or hesitation, it is like a magical skill.
Rather than telling a story, his narration is more like a movie without pictures.
It was the first time for Risa to hear such a variety of voices from someone.
Even the top voice actors in the industry cannot do this.
This can no longer be called imitation.
His voice was more like her than her own.
That's why she would say that at that time.
That's the sound.
What she has longed for, which she can no longer find, belongs to...
Risa Taneda's voice.
…
…
After reading the story, the children around them all showed unfinished expressions of joy. It was clear from their faces that they liked Mogami Kazuto's performance very much.
Mogami Kazuto is not a guy who likes to be high-profile, and he has never thought about using this skill to achieve great achievements.
For him, telling stories to children like this and seeing their smiling faces at the end is a reward.
His idea is so simple.
When it was time to go back to the room to rest, the children were urged to go back to the room by the nurse. Each of them smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them.
Mogami Kazuto smiled and waved goodbye to them as well.
He looked at Risa who was sitting motionless and asked, "Don't you need to go back to your room to rest?"
"I have a child, so I don't need to take a nap."
Mogami Kazuto smiled when he heard this.
"Hey, can I ask you something?"
"you say."
"Are you studying dubbing?"
"I haven't learned anything."
"You lie, but I don't believe it. Do you think I'm deaf and can't tell that you have received professional training? Your voice can be natural, but your acting skills can't lie."
"I really haven't learned anything."
"If you don't want to tell me, just tell me. It's just a mystery."
