LOVE VOICE

"I'm Yusuke Ono, please take care of me."

Looking at the stylishly dressed young man in front of him, Takigawa couldn't help but feel that he was an idol star rather than a voice actor.

The scheduled recording time was seven o'clock in the evening, but it was already twenty past seven o'clock.

The first time we met, Yusuke Ono who was late left a bad impression on Takikawa.

And when greeting Takikawa, the man didn't even take off his hat and sunglasses.

What an arrogant rookie... Gaining popularity but forgetting the most basic manners...

Takikawa complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and said lightly, "I'm Takikawa, please take care of me."

"Mr. Takikawa, we meet again." The man standing beside Yusuke Ono greeted Takikawa enthusiastically.

"Ah, Mr. Yamada, it's been a long time." Takikawa also said with a smile when he realized that the other party was someone he knew.

"That... I'm Ryoji Imai, please take care of me." Imai couldn't help but interject.

"Haha, Imai, I was thinking that I haven't seen you for a while, but I met you again today." Yamada patted Imai on the shoulder and said happily, as if he knew him very well.

"Because Mr. Takikawa and Mr. Ono have never met before, the office specially arranged for me to come here. Mr. Yamada, too?" Imai was also very respectful in front of Yamada, after all, the other party was a few years older than him.

"That's right... Ono from our office has always respected Mr. Takikawa. Before coming here, he always said that he was very excited and uneasy to see the senior he admired, right, Ono?" Yamada said naturally He calmly turned the topic to Ono and waited for him to speak.

"Ah...um." Ono lowered his head slightly, and responded casually as if he was not interested.

Annoyed by Ono's rude attitude, Takikawa's expression became visibly bad, and he became silent.

Realizing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Imai didn't know what to do, so he could only laugh meaninglessly.

"Hey, Takikawa, Ono, what are you all doing standing there? The recording is about to start."

Another figure of a man appeared at the door of the lounge, walking towards the four of them.

"Mr. Aoki!" Imai called Hideo Aoki with great enthusiasm as if he had found a savior.

Hideo Aoki - known as the evergreen tree in the voice actor world, has a very strong voice, not only dubbing important roles in ACG works, but also often serving as the host in some formal occasions.

This time, Aoki was specially invited to voice the role of "Koichi Asami", Hiro's father.

"Really, Ono, you are late. As a junior, you actually make us wait, you are not so courageous." Aoki walked to Ono's side, and read a sentence half-truthfully.

Yamada immediately bowed aside and said, "It's not Ono's fault, it's because I insisted on taking a taxi that I was late. If I took the tram, I might still be in time. As a result, I accidentally encountered a traffic accident."

"Traffic accident? Are you all right?" Aoki asked in shock.

"That, it's not our car, but it took a long detour due to a traffic accident."

"That's it... It's an understandable reason, right, Takikawa." Aoki patted Takikawa's shoulder, as if explaining to him specially.

"You guys have worked hard too." Seeing Aoki's purpose of easing the atmosphere, Takikawa still nodded to Yamada with dignity.

"I'm late anyway, so, Mr. Takikawa, I'm sorry."

Ono took off his hat and sunglasses, and formally apologized to Takikawa.But when he raised his head, he still didn't look directly at Takikawa's face.

For this kind of apology, Takikawa was really not in the mood to accept it, but Aoki smoothed things over from the sidelines: "Ah, Yusuke-kun, you can't just apologize to Takikawa, I arrived earlier than Takikawa What about. When you see someone you admire in your heart, do you forget about the seniors who have been taking care of you?"

"Then say sorry to Mr. Aoki by the way." Facing Aoki, Ono's tone lightened up.

"Hey! What do you mean by the way? What an arrogant guy... If you don't apologize properly, I will beat you up."

"If it's Mr. Aoki, it doesn't matter if you get beaten."

Due to the appearance of Aoki, the previous awkward atmosphere was swept away, and even Ono talked more, but Takikawa felt very uncomfortable because of deliberately ignoring Takikawa, and felt that Ono was too arrogant.

It's just that the role was snatched from him once, and he didn't take himself seriously at all.But this time I have to be the "shou" of this person.

The more he thought about it, the more reconciled Takikawa didn't even want to say anything, he was sulking in his heart by himself.

As a voice actor, Ono Yusuke does have extraordinary strength.Although he was unhappy, Takigawa still listened to all the works that Ono had participated in that he could find, and it took a full two weeks.

The variability of this man's voice has already been experienced.High school students, teenagers, middle-aged men and other walk-on characters have also played a lot, but they are especially good at handsome and indifferent youth characters. In BL-related works, they have not dubbed the "Shou" character. .

"Yusuke, it's alright, let's go record. Ah, everyone is here!"

The energetic voice attracted everyone's attention, especially Takikawa.He thought someone was calling him.

One of the main characters, voice actor Takayama Junmasa of Takeshi Asami, stood at the door and waved to everyone.

"Yo, Jun." Ono greeted Takayama casually.

"Yufu, don't be late next time, I have to go to another recording studio later, today I am partnering with Mr. Sekiguchi, if I am late, he will never let me go, I don't want to be bullied by that person... ..." Takayama Jun ran to the water dispenser, took a glass of water and drank a couple of sips, then turned to Takikawa and said, "Mr. Takikawa, your name is pronounced the same as Yusuke's."

"Well, yes." For Takayama, a newcomer in the same firm, Takikawa has always loved him very much.It's just that he and Ono had such a good relationship that they could call each other by their names.Maybe it's because the two of them have "done" too many times, and there is no longer any gap.

"This is also a kind of fate, right, Yusuke?" Takayama smiled brightly, but Ono didn't respond to this, and lowered his head again.

Speaking of the names of the two, the wife's hurtful words seemed to echo in her mind again.Even in this mood, Takikawa couldn't bring up the interest of chatting with everyone.

Aoki clapped his hands and said to everyone: "Okay, let's start work. Ono, I have to take care of Takikawa later. I'm really envious. Takikawa's 'first time' fell into your hands like this. How are you? Are you happy?"

"'First time' or something, Aoki, you should also pay attention to the words you use!" Takikawa shouted a little out of composure.

"Hey, I see, Chu Ye, Chu Ye will be fine, right?"

"..."

Knowing that Aoki was just joking, he couldn't help but mind.For the first time, Takigawa felt the cruelty of living as a voice actor.

"Mr. Takikawa."

"Huh?" Turning around, I realized that the person who stopped me was Ono who had been refusing to face me.

"I will try my best to cooperate with Mr. Takigawa, so please don't be too nervous, just do the dubbing with a normal mentality."

This was the first time that Takikawa saw Ono's eyes clearly.

His eyes, which were darker than the others, were staring at him for a moment.

"Ah." Takikawa didn't know what to say, and could only make the simplest syllables.

What is this?A junior actually taught himself in such a tone.What do you mean don't be nervous?The time I spent standing in the recording studio reading the script was probably longer than that person's time in the industry.

Not wanting others to see his displeasure, Takigawa hastened his pace and left the lounge.

"Ono... that's not okay. Didn't you always say that the person you want to see the most is Yusuke Takikawa? Why is he so stiff in front of Takikawa? Although he didn't say it, it can be seen that he treats you very well." It’s not a good first impression.” Aoki walked to Ono’s side, teasing with a half-smile.

"Mr. Aoki, don't make fun of me..." Ono folded his hands to Aoki as if begging for mercy.

Takayama put his arms around Ono's shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Takikawa has nothing to do with cute juniors, so learn from me, although you are not as cute as me, but Yusuke, as long as you use Takigawa-san will definitely surrender if the nice voice acts like a spoiled child."

"Chun...don't join in the fun with Mr. Aoki..." Ono smiled wryly.

"Hurry up, Takigawa will be really angry if you keep him waiting any longer. Although he is usually very talkative, he is actually quite a strict person."

"Oh." Ono and Takayama followed behind Aoki at the same time.Only Imai and Yamada were left in the lounge.
