Chapter 883: Hojo Kyosuke is a feminist, so beating a woman is okay

"Wusuo! Teacher Bala actually looks like this?"

Nishimiya Naoko covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise. She could never have imagined that the person who could draw a comic like "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors" that was full of cute female characters was actually a man in his thirties.

Compared to other comics that use young girls to make fun of things, "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors" is a comic that seriously depicts the natural innocence and cuteness of elementary school girls. That is why it is loved by all the members of Ruyilao.

Yamauchi Sakura once called a suicide hotline, or lifeline, and strongly suggested that they include the manga "Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors" in the important suicide prevention project because many of her friends got rid of Tamasama syndrome because of this manga. While calling, her former friends with Tamasama syndrome, such as Eriri, Hojo, Yukino, and Nozomi, all spoke out to testify.

But unfortunately, Sakura's suggestion was not adopted, probably because they were worried that this comic was so loving and would really reduce the suicide rate.

In a meeting room, when Glass walked in, she saw a thin man in his thirties wearing black-framed glasses, who was chatting with the director of the animation production team and others.

A man like this is no different from other Japanese people when walking on the street. He looks like a normal person, but no one knows if he is a psychopath. It is hard to believe that he can draw such warm and healing comics.

Nishimiya Glass stood there in a daze, her mind resurfacing with memories of everyone in Ruyi Lodge arguing about what kind of person the author of "Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors" would be.

"She must be a mother! She has two children, a boy and a girl!"

Eriri swore that she started from herself, her notebooks were all about super beautiful girls, and even the models she used to draw the male characters were global lovers, so the cartoonist who could draw such a cute Miu and Kochi must be a mother who is very gentle to her children!

"I think it might be an elementary school teacher. After all, it's impossible to draw such a detailed story without daily observation."

This is what Nozomi thinks. Although she has never met a good elementary school teacher, she still wants to believe that there are still people in the world who become teachers because they like children. Of course, Onitsuka-san and Danma-san don't count.

"Could it be that a child drew it? You see, the child wrote it down like a diary, as the original author, and then the artist created it?"

That’s what Xue Ye said.

Everyone had a variety of guesses, and then the decision-making power fell to Hojo Kyosuke.

"It's not the mother, it's not the teacher, and it's certainly not the child. You really underestimate how hateful this naughty child is."

Kyousuke's view is different from everyone else's:

"Just like only Chu Nan can imagine a desirable love, because people who have really experienced the pain of love only have disgust in their hearts, and even if you think in the completely opposite direction, you can still see traces. And creatures like naughty children, if you live with them day and night, will only make people want to destroy the world. It is impossible to draw such a gentle comic.

I guess, that's probably a man who just got married and whose wife forced him to look at other people's cute children all day long, which gave him beautiful fantasies. Or maybe he has no children and is not married, but just fantasizes about raising children when he is lying in bed and daydreaming. In short, it must be a man. "

Hojo Kyosuke has a basis for what he said, because in his previous life, he was a long-term contributor to a female family magazine without getting married, and he wrote a bunch of imaginary parenting experiences every day. In short, the child is a little naughty, but very sensible, and his wife is virtuous and intellectual. The two of them will accompany the child to deal with the troubles of growing up.

In short, it is the kind of article that will make unmarried people want to get married and have children after reading it, and will make those who are married and have children envy other people's children after reading it.

This kind of article can only be written beautifully and naturally by someone who has not experienced it. Those who have really experienced it will reveal many flaws in the process of making up stories.

After saying that, Hojo Kyosuke was attacked. No one could accept that such a warm and healing comic like "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors" was actually the work of a otaku.

but now……

Even after sitting down in her seat, Glass still couldn't control her eyes and kept stealing glances at Teacher Bala opposite her.

It's incredible that Kyousuke-kun actually got it right...

Glass is a girl with a delicate heart, so she can easily tell from some details about Teacher Bara that she is really not married. The simplest point is that the clothes are not ironed neatly, which is rare in families in Japanese society. Because if the husband wears dirty and wrinkled clothes when working, even if the husband does not care, the wife will feel embarrassed. It's just like married office workers competing for the wife's lunch box in the company and mocking unmarried young people.

Listening silently to the conversation between the comic author and the supervisor, Glass was thinking in her mind how to tell her family this unfortunate news in a tactful way.

After a while, the big shots finally finished their business and turned to look at the voice actors.

It was a similar situation to before. All the other voice actors had met the author at the audition, but only Glass stood up to introduce herself and exchange business cards.

Nishimiya Glass clearly caught the mocking and disdainful expressions on the faces of the voice actors from other agencies out of the corner of her eye, although they were not very noticeable.

But as expected, after Teacher Bara handed over the business card, she immediately smiled and said:

"Thanks to Miss Nishimiya, now I have to lock Mr. Hojo in the dark room to draw~"

Others who were not very sensitive to the surname Hojo were confused and didn't know what was going on, but Nishimiya Glass and others reacted immediately and realized that Teacher Bara was talking about the rumor on the Internet that because of Hojo Kyosuke's fusion style of painting, he locked all those authors in a small dark room and made them work illegally.

For a moment, the director, animation and others all laughed, and Glass also smiled quietly.

The topic did not expand on this, but turned to discussing the opening words for the voice actors when they appeared.

"I think I'll use the first sentence of the revised version of Nobue-sister's words: "Nice to meet you. My name is Nobue Ito. As you can see, I'm an ordinary 20-year-old girl. I'm kidding, I look like that, but I'm actually a -year-old junior college student."

By the way, it can also allow comic readers to be more prepared for this change. When Miss Nishimiya appears, she directly says, "Next, let me introduce my family's safe... ahem, no, no... it's my lovely sister."

The supervisor said this, and then explained a little:

"Here's what I think. After Miss Nishimiya, who looks much younger than her, said this, she is much older than her... ahem, if the older Miss Kihara comes out again, the effect on the scene should be very good. It can also be considered as a promotional point later."

Nishimiya Glass didn't say anything, but took out a small notebook and took careful notes.

It is obvious that the supervisor and the original author have already discussed it and are just waiting to notify everyone.

The voice actor lineup for the anime "Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors" is very small because the anime characters are very simple.

A female college student who likes to smoke and drink beer, covets her younger sister's wallet, beats up her neighbor's deceased sister, sucks the foreigner's blonde sister, comforts her poor little sister, and her four elementary school sisters. The only character that can be called a role is "Sasazuka who stands outside". The agency where Shoko works has taken up three roles, and the role that the weird Oizumi Kaori got before was the poor little sister.

Of course there are many supporting roles in the animation, but any voice actor or staff member can be assigned to play the role. It is not uncommon for one voice actor to play two roles in the same scene.

"…That's about it, is there any problem?"

The director put down the notebook and looked at the voice actors. They all shook their heads silently and answered clearly "no".

The supervisor left in a hurry. Things like the launch conference were not his responsibility. He was called in to work overtime just like the voice actors. Now that he had finished his work, he had to rush back to the animation production company to work overtime.

The selection of voice actors usually takes place about one to three months before the storyboards are drawn, which means we are just in the process of drawing the storyboards now. The materials released at the launch conference were probably rushed out.

The rehearsal is held on weekdays and the formal conference is held on weekends.

"Oune-san, please give me your guidance~~"

Kihara Saki said to Nazori with a smile that being able to put oneself in the role of the character and conduct dialogue is an important part of a voice actor's performance. Saying classic lines can make the audience scream. Even if there is no teaching from seniors, these things can be learned by just watching one or two voice actor meet-and-greets.

Glass smiled softly and was about to speak when she heard:

"Cuckoo-"

A series of sounds came from her stomach.

Uh...

hungry.

The girl quickly covered her stomach and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Although the sound was not loud, it attracted a lot of attention in the conference room.

Saki finished for her, "Hahaha, you really have a sixteen-year-old body. Your metabolism is fast. You won't get fat no matter how much you eat. You'll even want to eat more after you finish eating."

"W-where is there..."

Glass argued in a low voice, it was just that the food made by Kyosuke was so delicious that not only she, but also her stomach loved it.

"When you reach my age, you'll probably have to start eating less to maintain your figure, really..."

Before Kihara Saki could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden voice:

“Hopefully your stomach won’t start to growl in the studio.”

The smiles on Naoko and Saki's faces froze and they turned their heads away at the same time. As expected, the person who spoke was Oizumi Kaori.

This time, Glass didn't want to curse, because for voice actors, not to mention things like stomach rumbling, even clothes that easily rub and make noises should be avoided during recording, and...

The gentle girl could bear it, but Kihara Saki next to her couldn't bear it anymore. Why did he bully the newcomer in our family so many times? Did he deserve a beating? She slammed the table and stood up, and then someone grabbed her arm.

"Come on, Naoko, Saki, let's go eat together. It seems the hotel has prepared some very good seafood today."

It's Ayano Kitani, one of the biggest voice actors at Glass Studio, and one of the few characters that the sound director can treat with caution.

And when Oizumi Kaori, who was very arrogant just now, saw that it was this person who was speaking, she immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Kitani Ayano smiled and said thank you for your hard work, then she took Naoko and Saki to the door. But as soon as she stepped out of the meeting room door, she turned around and said in a gentle voice:

"Oizumi-san, you have to choose the right person to educate a newcomer, because she may have her own teacher."

"what……"

Oizumi Kaori was stunned. After watching the three people leave the conference room, she whispered to her companion next to her:

"What does Kigumi-senpai mean? That lucky girl is her student?"

The companion thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "You haven't heard of such a thing, have you?"

Oizumi Kaori quickly asked around with her acquaintances, but no one had heard that Kitani Ayano had any students, and at most she had only taken a few classes at the voice actor training school. Only then did she feel relieved.

On the other side, in the corridor leading to the restaurant.

Kihara Saki laughed out loud: "I am so angry that I am confused. How could it be my turn to help Xiaochan? There is no need for Hojo-sensei to come. Whether it is Supervisor Tanabe or Teacher Bara, they are enough to make Oizumi suffer."

Nishimiya Naoko didn't laugh, but covered her stomach with a serious expression. She had just taught her stomach a lesson, telling it not to be so embarrassing, otherwise she would not let it eat the food made by Kyosuke next time!

Hearing Sister Saki's words, she argued in a low voice: "I will use my strength to make everyone believe in me!"

The girl is fully aware that she wants to become a voice actor that can match Kyosuke's work before he officially starts the project! If you can't even accept such a small setback, how can you move forward?

The two senior voice actors looked at each other, and touched Nozomi's head at the same time, with doting smiles on their faces.

Silly child, do you think too highly of your Kyousuke-kun? If that person hears what happened this morning, it will be Oizumi Kaori crying and begging you to believe her.

While eating, the two seniors taught Gaozi some eating skills, such as which foods can easily make the stomach make noises, and which drinks can affect the sounds...

The day passed quickly and the afternoon school bell rang.

The second and third graders rushed out of the school and headed for cram schools. Generally speaking, they would go to cram schools after finishing their club activities. Since the regular exams were approaching and the school had cancelled club activities, the cram school time was naturally moved forward.

The only exception was the idiots on the baseball field. As expected, Ryota Tsuchiya and his team of revengers completely turned a deaf ear to the school's orders.

"Run faster, run faster! Nekota! How can you catch the ball if you run so slowly?!"

Tsuchiya Ryota yelled:

"You can't even catch the ball, and you want to chase your dream? Run for your life, idiot!"

On the playground, Kuramochi Ippei, who had just fallen and had his face scratched by the sand, crawled and rolled to his feet, rushing forward with gnashing teeth. (End of this chapter)
