Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

"No more talk, I will go home later and talk to you about some important things - let me tell you, this matter is very critical. As long as it succeeds, the level of the sloth fish will directly rise several dimensions... ....Okay, stop asking, go back and elaborate!"

108. The light novel route opens and "re0" sets sail

is the day.

While the crew of "Ultraman Tega" was on vacation and his work was finished, Mochizuki, as entrusted by the seniors, embarked on the long journey home, preparing to meet and have a good chat with Kurihara Saki. Some important cooperation matters.

Seeing Mochizuki's retreating figure, the big dads from the Ultraman Tiga crew couldn't help but nod slightly.

"What a talented young man... I never expected that the lead actor in our crew can actually arrange music and become famous on the Internet - he is truly a genius among geniuses."

Gently holding his chin, he recalled that when Mochizuki shivered just now but gave off an inexplicably passionate look, Akitagawa, the sound supervisor of "Tiga" who was responsible for arranging the soundtrack, couldn't help but nod:

"Although I have never seen the lead actor serve as an arranger...but if it comes true, I think our subsequent plot will definitely go much smoother."

"...Indeed."

Director Shingo Matsubara, who had stayed up countless late nights, worked at overload all day long, depended on coffee to hang on to his life, and felt quite ecstatic, could not help but be inexplicably moved by the young man's coming forward.

"Originally, I thought he was just good at acting, but I didn't expect that he has such talent... It's really good. If he can be qualified for the job of arranging, our biggest problem now will be solved. Follow-up Naturally, a lot of my work has become much smoother.”

"...I really hope the arrangement goes well."

After sighing with emotion, Takano Hongichi couldn't help but nodded slightly, and the smile on his lips also rose.

As expected of the young man he has fallen in love with, he has successfully solved an urgent need just by opening his mouth. Not only is he an excellent actor, he is also extremely talented. He is so good that it is enviable~

.......Such a boy might be very popular with girls, right?

Some thoughts emerged in his mind, and Takano Koichi couldn't help but think about it.

Through the conversation just now and the news on the Internet, the old man learned that the popular Slothfish on the Internet is a two-person musician duo. Although Mochizuki has shown off his identity head-on, there is another person behind it that ordinary people cannot see. A girl who has never appeared before is silently responsible for the operation of the Slothfish account and even singing——

What is the relationship between the girl behind the Slothfish account and Mochizuki Ri...

Is it a purely cooperative relationship?Or a so-called love relationship?

Is it a pure cooperative relationship...probably not. After all, if it is just a cooperation, for the sake of efficiency, Mochizuki should not be able to compose music for Ultraman Tiga. I hurried to Toyama Prefecture to meet with my partner to discuss it, and even decided to arrange the music offline. After all, this was somewhat too time-consuming;

However, it doesn't seem right to say that they are in a relationship... After all, Mochizuki never mentioned that he has a female friend. From the set, the girl surnamed Xu from China seems to be She is also very close to Mochizuki——

.........So, what's going on?

Unable to help but be curious about Mochizuki's interpersonal relationships, Takano Koichi couldn't help but hold his chin, his thoughts racing.

.......It’s really confusing for today’s young people.

Of course, thoughts are complicated.

After all, there are more important things now... After a brief thought, Mr. Koichi Takano didn't think much, he just patted his head gently, and his mood returned to calm again.

Forget it, as an old man, thinking too much about the young man’s private life seems to be a bit over the line——

"...Now, let's hope that Yu Mochizuki-san can come up with a good enough music single."

With such words, Mr. Takano Koichi's expression also showed seriousness.

..

Carrying his luggage and stepping off the train, the young man returned to his hometown where he had been away for a long time.

Today is a day off. If nothing else happens, Kurihara Saki, the little pig, should be watching the Red and White Song Festival at home, or rubbing the controller and playing games...

I don’t know if she cooked for me.

While thinking like this, he became lazy the moment he returned to his hometown. Mochizuki, who had degenerated into a rice insect, walked through the streets in such a familiar way, only walking a short distance before reaching his destination.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Mochizuki stood at the door of Kurihara Saki's house, waiting for a certain silver-haired girl to come out to greet him.

"......coming."

The familiar and crisp sound sounded, and the sound of the wheelchair pulley rolling came from the crack of the door again. After a few seconds, the door was pushed open, and the silver-haired girl with double-horse braids looked at the boy in front of the door. The voice remains the same:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time......."

Seeing that the girl in front of him no longer had disheveled hair, but had changed her hairstyle, the boy's expression could not help but change slightly:

"What, is it a new year? Why have you changed your look?"

"...I'm used to having my hair disheveled all the time. I change my style occasionally."

The girl's face seemed to have changed, and her complexion seemed to be more rosy than before. She was silent for a while, and then she looked up at the adopted son next door who had not seen her for a long time:

"You don't like it?"

"...No, I think it looks pretty good."

"That's fine."

After receiving Mochizuki's approval, the corners of Kurihara Saki's mouth unconsciously formed a slight arc - but it was obvious that after the brief smile, the girl's expression returned to the expressionless look in the past:

"Okay, now that you've finally come back, why don't you go into the house and talk to me about the arrangement you just mentioned?"

"...Okay."

I always felt that this time I went home, Kurihara Saki's attitude seemed to be much gentler, and Mochizuki Rima felt a little dazed.

However, thinking that the silver-haired girl finally no longer quarreled with him like in the past, the boy seemed relieved and sat down on the sofa of Kurihara's house. He began to immerse himself in the gentleness of Kurihara's mother and started to show off. model.

Turning on the TV and watching the New Year's Red and White Song Concert, Mochizuki always felt that his mood and consciousness had relaxed a lot, and his striving and enterprising social mentality gradually decayed on the soft sofa, and was eventually annihilated in his small home.

Strictly speaking, the musician careers of Kurihara Saki and Mochizuki are closely connected, even inseparable.

She has contributed to all the popular songs of Sloth Fish, and she even sang in several songs... As time goes by, the girl in the wheelchair becomes more and more familiar with Sloth Fish. Bound together, it seems to be gradually becoming an irreplaceable part.

Although he is indeed the same age as a certain dog-eyed president who draws comics with him, Mochizuki always feels that he is more comfortable getting along with Kurihara Saki: there is no other reason, just because Takegami Kasumi is somewhat different. He is careful and will occasionally play with himself; Kurihara Saki is different. Although he always quarrels with himself and even bad-mouths himself, no matter how good he feels or what his personality is. This silver-haired girl is more mature, stable, and simpler than the other girls.

Whenever he encounters something unpleasant, he won't hide it. The straightforward Kurihara Saki will always attack directly and punch a certain lazy boy:

"Don't be so paralyzed like a bastard fish... Remember to come over and help me when you have dinner later. Don't act like a young man when you enter my house, who will show it to you."

"?"

After making a gesture that couldn't be more classic, I finally heard Mochizuki's nagging words from Kurihara's mother, which made me feel quite relaxed.

I'm back, I'm back...that's the feeling!

Her hair has been styled into two-horse braids, and this girl does give people the impression that she has grown up a bit more than before.

Because the weather was getting hotter, the girl also took off the red cotton-padded jacket and pure cotton white pantyhose she had worn a few months ago. She was only wearing the lace pink pajamas. She stepped on the cotton socks on her feet that were afraid of the cold, and moved her little hands skillfully He took a spoon out of the pot and prepared a meal for a certain elementary school boy who had become a rice bug.

.....More and more adult-like.

Sometimes, teenagers always feel that time passes quickly.

The day when I first met Kurihara Saki seemed like just yesterday. Another year passed in the blink of an eye, and the girl was one step closer to becoming a woman. The student aura in her body gradually weakened and turned into a vigorous and resolute manner unique to mature women.

Perhaps it was because of his emotion that Mochizuki's eyes changed somewhat when he looked at the girl who was wearing pink and white pajamas but had a very mature temperament.

"......?"

Noticing that a certain elementary school boy was looking at her with an emotional look like an old father, the mature but immature girl couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just realized later that I haven't eaten at your place for a long time."

"...Your eyes are so perverted."

Kurihara Saki curled her lips and frowned dissatisfied:

"Suddenly I feel that time is no longer a thing... You are only 17 years old, why do you act like a little old man?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that after I went to shoot Tiga and met many seniors, my thinking gradually changed."

Sighing silently, he finally returned home on his day off and collapsed on the sofa at Kurihara Saki's house. Mochizuki, who came for a routine meal today and performed official duties, also said with emotion:

"It feels like time flies by so fast. It seems like we only met yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, I left you to shoot special photos. I haven't seen you for several months. It really feels like some time has gone and will never come back."

"...Why do you begin to feel that time is fleeting? Are you growing old before you get old?"

"No, I just think it would be nice to stay at your house all the time."

"...Is this why you came back to my house to be a bastard after the crew took a break, and also occupied my TV for more than an hour to watch the Red and White Song Concert? Isn't it a bit confusing?"

"That's right, because this is the most reassuring thing for me right now."

"The most peaceful thing for you is to show off? Isn't life too boring?"

Frowning slightly, the girl in the wheelchair who was slicing salmon fillets and preparing dinner looked at the boy slumped on the sofa, her voice showing inexplicable disgust:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be able to come back in half a year? What's going on now? Are you feeling homesick just after you left?"

"Hai, it's not impossible for you to understand this way...but just like what I said, I have big things to do today."

"...You have been talking about Ultraman Tiga's arrangement issue since you called me before."

After washing her hands and wiping them dry with kitchen towels, the silver-haired girl placed the plated salmon on her lap, then rocked her wheelchair and prepared to leave the kitchen:

"Okay, I already know why you suddenly came back in a hurry... What should I say, do you have any ideas about the arrangement?"

"That's true - if not, why would I have agreed to do it? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

As he spoke, Mochizuki transformed into a adopted son, immediately sat on the dining table, and served rice to Kurihara Saki sitting next to him:

"I just wrote down a few melodies in the car. Can we start working after dinner?"

"...No problem."

Nodding slightly, the girl's expression became quite serious:

"You finally have something to do here... I thought you almost forgot that the sloth fish is actually a singer, not some funny food blogger."

"...Don't worry, I've never forgotten it, Tokyo Dome or something."

Gently holding the piece of salmon cut by Kurihara himself, the boy's expression was quite serious:

"Next, let's work hard... This will be a key step for us to build our reputation."

"That's true. After all, this is a revival of the Ultraman series that Consortium B invested heavily in."

Nodding silently, Kurihara Saki was silent for a moment before slowly raising his head:

"... Are you having a good time acting?"

"Of course I'm happy. After all, the Ultraman series has finally revived in the new era. Although it's tiring, it's also very happy."

"...You're not hungry outside, are you? Did you get enough rest?"

"Don't worry, if I really don't have a good life there, will I still come back and chat with you about arranging music and eating?"

Looking at Kurihara Saki who was so concerned about him and whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Mochizuki couldn't help but chuckle:

"You, don't act like your little mother - you are my partner. If you care about me so much, I will feel an inexplicable sense of betrayal."

"....Tch, who cares about you?"

Pouting his lips, Kurihara Saki's expression was quite rich:

"I'm too lazy to care about you - quickly give me the score, and I'll work with you later to see what's more appropriate... By the way, remember to wash the dishes, I'm too lazy to move."

"OK."

Mochizuki nodded, and then slowly spoke at this moment:

"By the way, Ultraman Tiga's arrangement task also includes OP and ED, so the workload may be relatively heavy - but it doesn't matter. I will record the demo and write the score for you during the last two days of rest. Don't worry. ”

".......Can."

Kurihara Saki, who had switched to work mode, also nodded lightly at this moment:

"Just leave it to me. After all, you have already laid the foundation. I am only responsible for packaging. The amount of the project will not be too large, and I will speed up the progress."

"I love you so much when I hear you say that - by the way, while I'm on vacation, would you like to accompany you to the cafe on Sunset Street? I'll treat you to a sundae."

"...You came back for work, why are you still thinking about going out with me?"

"What's the point? It's about combining work and rest."

Mochizuki snapped his fingers and his voice was quite clear:

"Just think of it as relaxing with your partner - don't forget, I went to the artificial beach with you last December and had a long chat."
