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

"...it's just a bad fate at most."

Continuing to bicker with Mochizuki, a trace of tranquility suddenly appeared on Kurihara Saki's almost expressionless face:

"But no matter what it is, I thank you for inviting me instead of looking for someone else."

"...After much thought, I still feel that I feel more free being with you."

"...You bully me into using a wheelchair. I can't watch you causing trouble and being naughty in China, right?"

"Don't say it so harshly..."

"Pfft."

Having known for a long time what the boy was thinking, Kurihara Saki looked at Mochizuki who was slightly furious after his plan was revealed, and couldn't help but say this:

"Well, since you are going to China, just take it easy - don't let everyone on the other side think you are a childish child, otherwise you will be really embarrassed and thrown out of the country."

"And... I hope you can be more mature and steady."

Speaking of it.

Kurihara Saki raised his head slightly, and there was a rare tenderness in his red eyes:

"Let's talk first. If I can really travel with Ali, you have to be responsible for taking care of me - after all, I am the one who is most inconvenient when traveling."

".......Of course."

Knowing that Kurihara Saki's physical condition was not that good and she had to sit in a wheelchair, Mochizuki nodded seriously:

"You take care of me at home, and I take care of you outside - this is what is called division of labor and cooperation."

"...There is no such boring division of labor and cooperation, don't talk nonsense."

After complaining about the rude words of the young man next to him, Kurihara Saki didn't say much, but tightened his skirt slightly nervously:

"But, forget it...if everything goes well and mom and dad nod in agreement, I'll leave it to you."

"okay."

Mochizuki made an "ok" gesture and looked at the girl in front of him with a slightly flushed face. He always felt that he was a super senior. Mochizuki, who had transformed from a son to a father, spoke very seriously:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"...You better be."

Unexpectedly, her status in her mind has changed from a mature and steady young mother to a helpless and well-behaved daughter. Kurihara Saki stroked her white chin. Although her tone was the same as before, her eyes were quite soft.

this moment.

The two members of the Sloth Fish formed a small companionship contract under this calm Tokyo night, and their ordinary days also had more expectations.

Of course...life is not all about entertainment, there is also work to be busy with.

Perhaps he also understands that Mochizuki's invitation to travel to China has a very important job behind him...I feel that I have gradually become a mature woman, and I can't always look like a girl who has not grown up. Still stuck to Ari's side all day long, Kurihara Saki didn't continue to think about things about traveling, eating, drinking, and having fun for too long.

After all, the boy he cares about will have a lot of work to do in the near future...but he can't let him just have fun and forget about work.

It was precisely because of this thought that the silver-haired girl was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, changing the topic:

"Okay, don't waste so much time on traveling. Anyway, I agree. The rest depends on whether mom and dad nod -"

"Now, let's turn our attention back to your introduction of "Ultraman Tiga" into China... If I remember correctly, this is also your job, right?"

"......"

Unexpectedly, Kurihara Saki suddenly turned the topic of going out to play together to another strange direction. Mochizuki's expression was also slightly surprised——

However, I probably also know that the girl in the wheelchair is very concerned about her work, and she has always kept a clear divide between fun and work. The boy's expression seemed to understand something, and his tone He also became quite calm and steady:

"It is indeed the case. The introduction plan of "Ultraman Tiga" into China is one of the major events of our holiday, and it also carries Tsuburaya's high hopes for this restarted game to open up the international market - so in "Ultraman Tiga" "Man" was so popular that it was about to reach its final episode, and when the Chinese side also announced that it had passed the review, Consortium B waved its hand and prepared to increase publicity and drainage in China, which had aroused Ultraman craze in the past, and not only let our group of leading actors run offline activities , the work itself is also planned to use all-Chinese dubbing to strengthen the localization of the work. It seems that they are really confident in Ultraman's performance in China."

"I see."

Kurihara Saki nodded, and the girlish shyness on her face also dissipated at this moment...replaced by some kind of mature woman's ability:

"I roughly understand what's going on - I have to say that this operation is indeed very ambitious and forward-looking. According to my understanding, China's pan-ACG culture has become popular in recent years, with various fan dramas and acg subculture It is spreading at the speed of a virus, and the tokusatsu has also been driven by the resurrection of Ultraman Tiga, and the discussion remains high... although the pan-acg culture in it is somewhat barbaric. , in many aspects it has not kept up, but at least in terms of market size, China is definitely a market that must be occupied.”

"It is indeed the case."

Seeing that Kurihara Saki had such a clear understanding of the Chinese market, Mochizuki couldn't help but joke:

"With such an understanding of the market, how about I recommend you to be Tsuburaya's Chinese guide?"

"...No, I don't want to be a deer-herald who can only say (sir, thisway)."

After rolling his eyes at a certain elementary school boy and briefly teasing him, Kurihara Saki shrugged and asked a question that he cared about very much:

"Okay, enough gossip - since Tsuburaya is so concerned about the Chinese localization of "Ultraman Tiga" and has said that he will choose the best dubbing actors in the country, then the opening theme song will be followed by a few important songs. How do you say the song? Should you fill in the lyrics in Chinese or compose a new song?"

"How should I put it? This matter is still being discussed internally."

Mochizuki held his chin, his eyes turning slightly at this moment:

“Many people think it’s better to rewrite the lyrics because it’s relatively more convenient - but there are quite a few people who think it’s better to re-arrange the music and better reflect the sincerity of localization... In short, both sides have their own opinions. People who are in contact with us in China are also having heated discussions on this issue. We haven’t come up with a better answer yet.”

"...It's really a difficult problem."

A small spoon scooped out the last piece of ice cream that was about to melt.

Holding the cold sweetness in her mouth, feeling the coolness swirling in her mouth, the girl braided her long silver-colored hair with her fingers, her red eyes looking at the real genius beside her:

"So, as one of the lead actors and arrangers of "Ultraman Tega", Slothfish, what do you think about this?"

"Well...I think it would be better to rearrange the music."

Seeing that Kurihara Saki took the initiative to ask this question, Mochizuki naturally had no intention of hiding it:

"After all, the theme song of the Japanese version of "Ultraman Tega" feels weird if it is written in Chinese, and the taste is not pure enough...so I advocated re-arranging it."

"I knew you would say that."

I have known for a long time that Mochizuki, a guy who hates work on the surface but is actually very serious, will definitely not give up the possibility of excellence just to be lazy at this time. The girl smiled and said randomly:

"So, are you ready to take over? Regarding the writing of the Chinese version of the theme song for "Ultraman Tega"?"

"Yes."

Mochizuki nodded slightly, already having the perfect answer to the Chinese version of "Tiga" theme song in his mind, and couldn't help but say this:

"I wouldn't worry if it were handed over to someone else... After all, this is the reboot of the Ultraman series. I have to ask someone who knows him well to give him the most suitable dress." Is it etiquette?"

"...I kept saying the same thing, and a certain kind of narcissism that I couldn't hide almost came out."

Kurihara Saki snorted, and looked at Mochizuki with eyes full of trust:

"But if it were you, it would be absolutely fine——"

"Okay, we're done with the sundae... let's take a short break and go home, and think about the Chinese version of Ultraman Tiga's theme song."

"No problem." Mochizuki made an "ok" gesture skillfully, then stretched out his fist, "Let's work hard together?"

"...Fist bumping is unlucky, so just forget it."

As if he still hadn't come out of the shadow of the Flame Fist, Kurihara Saki curled his lips, and his voice was unusually squeamish:

"Let's have sex - just like before."

"what ever."

The voice fell.

Two small fingers were gently connected under the warm light.

"It's been a long time."

Kurihara Saki, who had not worked with Mochizuki for a long time, also smiled like a flower at this moment:

"Happy cooperation?"

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pfft... Every time I suddenly become so formal, I always feel a bit raw~" The silver-haired girl snickered.

"This is called a sense of ritual, you know?" Mochizuki disagreed, "You have to add some of this before starting work, otherwise there will be no internal flavor."

"...Your theory is as weird as ever. It hasn't changed at all since I first met you."

"Want to laugh at me for being a kid again?"

Mochizuki was obviously very sensitive to this kind of thing, and then he looked at the silver-haired girl next to him with a red and warm expression——

Unexpectedly, Kurihara Saki didn't say much. He just waved his hand gently, his eyebrows curved at this moment:

"That's not... I just think you're pretty cute like this."

"........Yeah?"

Once when a girl praised her for being cute, Mochizuki was a little overwhelmed.

However, looking at Mochizuki with a slightly complicated expression in front of him, Kurihara Saki didn't see anything and just explained to himself:

"It's true - and don't think it's a derogatory term. The word cute is a very high word that girls have for boys."

"...Uh, oh, that's it."

Mochizuki, who had been evaluated like this by Dog Eyes in the past, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Why did you stop talking all of a sudden...Can you not help but praise me so much?"

The silver-haired girl tilted her head in confusion and looked at Mochizuki, who looked obviously frustrated. She thought someone was a little shy, so she couldn't help but joke:

"Ali is really a bastard."

"...You are just a bastard."

Holding the girl's soft face, Mochizuki said helplessly:

"Okay, don't talk so much - it's getting late, can I take you home?"

".......Row."

After staying with Mochizuki for a longer time, Kurihara Saki, who seemed to have gradually acquired some characteristics of girls of the same age, also rubbed his face that was red from being pinched just now, and tried to return to his usual calm and mature tone:

"And...don't pinch my face next time, it will hurt a lot."

"No problem, as long as you don't talk nonsense to me in the future."

"...Forget it, I'd better pinch my face for you."

"?"

There is a lot of nonsense here.

The boy pushed the girl's wheelchair and gradually disappeared at the end of the Tokyo street.

........

At the moment when Mochizuki Ri and Kurihara Saki left one after another, night had completely enveloped the city.

In another corner of the city, there are still people who are not asleep.

Xu Yuhuai leaned against the bedroom window, looking at the romantically lit Sumida District at night: this was once the old town of Tokyo, and century-old shops run by families still exist. Sangpu culture is very popular here, and the lifestyle and modern entertainment atmosphere of old Tokyo are here. This northeastern neighborhood is blended together, showing a prosperous but retro charm.

The city street scene was dazzling, but the girl was leaning on the corner of the table, silently carrying the few audition lines she would need for the rest of her life, with a serious look on her face.

Work has not been going well recently, and the auditions still have no good results...but even so, the girl is still in a bright mood.

"Everything will get better slowly."

I remember Brother Mochizuki once said this to me, and also said that if he was filming a TV series, he would be the protagonist. A slight smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.

Of course, if you have been relying on Mochizuki and trying to move forward under his protection, it would be too hopeless - Xu Yuhuai also has some stubbornness in his heart, hoping that he can truly become a protagonist worthy of Mochizuki's works and become good enough Actor... Before she realizes all this, she doesn't want to fall into the lonely mood that she often did in the past.

Xu Yuhuai still remembers the moment when he went to the set to play a small role this morning. There was a protagonist on the set who was not much older than himself. He was as petite as himself, but he had an inexplicable aura of stability and reliability - although his appearance was not that outstanding, he was The camera sense is indeed quite strong, and the acting skills are not stable and proficient. Not to mention mistakes, even if he plays against a well-known industry leader, he is not inferior. His skills are really powerful to the point of envy.

"In the future, let's try to learn more from our seniors."

There are always peers around people.We are obviously about the same age, have eaten the same food, and have traveled the same distance, but it’s like I’m secretly earning grades crazily in places I can’t see, and studying crazily behind everyone’s back to make progress. The grades I get are different from those I have mastered. I can put myself in a league of my own, while others can only pout and be speechless, starting to doubt themselves.

However, such a lonely mood will only hinder one's own development - if you are not as good as others, you have to keep chasing, and if you fail, you have to know how to relieve yourself. Only in this way can you slowly become a reliable adult... This , which is also what Mochizuki once taught him.

That older brother told me in the past that he wanted to watch him grow up.

So... no matter what, Xu Yuhuai also wants to become more mature and steady than before.

"I don't know if I can become a very powerful person..."

After performing the simple lines and plot countless times, the girl lay under the window sill, playing with the small toy she had bought for Christmas, her dark green eyes sparkling.
