Chapter 9 The Trembling Witch, the Shaking White Bird
The screening room of Igarashi's house.
The first episode of the "True Girl" animation is playing on the screen.
On the sofa, Jinguji Kiyohime looked at the beautifully made pictures on the screen, and looked at her friend beside her with some surprise.
"Mika, Izumi-kun told me before that the animation of his works is doomed to fail. But to this extent, does it count as a failure?"
Mika Igarashi crossed his arms and said proudly: "The King of Rebellion has fallen into a deep sleep. The one who walks in this world is his incarnation. Naturally, he cannot see through the truth."
At this moment, Igarashi Mika looks a little different from her usual appearance.
On her silver-white hair, she wears a crown made of pure crystal, with ice and snow patterns engraved on it.
In addition, the eyes that usually seem to be hidden in ice and snow are more lively and lively that are not familiar with the world.
"What is reality?" Jinguji Kiyohime asked again.
"News from the family members: The magicians (production team) who turned the world seeds (novel) into the world (animation) belong to Asazuki Yosuke. His purpose is twofold," Mika Igarashi stretched out his two
With one finger, "First, enhance the power (fame) of Asazuki Hongyin; second, seek the incarnation of the reverse king."
Jinguji Kiyohime automatically translated her friend's speech in her mind, and the content was consistent with what Igarashi Mika told Izumi Toru on the rooftop.
Being smart, she immediately deduced the cause and effect.
However, even though Izumi Toru was set up by Asatsuki Yosuke without her knowledge, she was not angry.
Because, the more this is the case, it proves the importance of Izumi-kun in Asazuki Yosuke's heart.
Because in this way, there will be one more beauty beside Izumi-kun.
No matter how you think about it, it's not a bad thing.
"Royal flower."
Igarashi Mika's eyes did not leave the screen. She asked without looking back: "What's the matter?"
"Do you want to see him?"
Hearing these words, Igarashi Mika's eyes went blank for a moment.
The next second, she said in a tone so calm that no emotion or anger could be heard:
"If King Ni wakes up, he will come to see me! It's just an incarnation, I...I...don't want it!"
Jinguji Kiyohime noticed her friend's clenched fists and slightly trembling shoulders.
She sighed inwardly.
There is no reverse king, no incarnation, there is only Izumi-kun.
She stretched out her hand and hugged her friend hard.
At this time, the black cat with the wing pendant jumped on the sofa, sniffed the scent of Igarashi Mika, and then curled up next to her legs.
Igarashi Mika gently rubbed its head and focused on the animation.
The cat closed its eyes in contentment.
【Hey! What you are holding is my guitar!】
A voice that sounded very much like Toru Izumi suddenly sounded.
The cat immediately raised its head and looked around.
However, in the dim room, there were only two girls silent.
It didn't find him.
It felt very boring, so it opened its mouth and yawned widely.
Then, it buried its head into its body and fell asleep.
…
"Teacher Aoki! Have you seen the animation! Have you seen it!"
On the phone, Takahashi Raika's voice was so excited that she couldn't control herself. It was a bit shrill, which made Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but move the phone farther away from his ears.
"Well, I saw it."
"I just received the news.
Although Ms. Hayasaka’s production team has never done animation before, it does not mean that the people in the team have not participated in animation production.
Each of them was poached from other teams by investors who paid huge sums of money. Moreover, most of them came from the same animation company.
Guess which one it is?"
Izumi Toru looked at the familiar painting style on the big screen not far away, and his heart moved.
"Could it be Kyoto Animation?"
"Huh? How do you know?" Takahashi Laika asked in surprise.
I guess Shiratori Kyoko guessed it right.
After muttering in his heart, Izumi Toru remembered to ask about business.
"Mr. Takahashi, why didn't I receive any news when "True Girl" was released today?"
"Isn't that what you said? Because this animation is obviously going to fail. I won't notify you on the day of the broadcast. I'll wait two days. And don't you want to watch the promotional website of Death River? There is a notice on it."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Aoki, is the new volume of your work..."
Izumi Toru hurriedly said: "I understand! Thank you very much for your notice! Let's talk later!"
"wait wait wait……"
Before Takahashi Raika finished speaking, Izumi Toru hung up the phone.
Shut down easily.
It’s still early before the deadline, so start pushing for manuscripts now?
Seeing a man not far away from Shiratori Kyoko who seemed to be approaching to strike up a conversation, Izumi Toru quickly ran over.
Izumi Toru ran to Shiratori Kyoko, took her hand, and then looked at her.
Sorry, I have an owner!
The other party saw that Kyoko Shiratori had a male companion, compared her looks, and withdrew very wisely.
Shiratori Kyoko raised her head blankly, looked at Izumi Toru, and asked: "What's the reason this time?"
"I'm afraid that you will be snatched away by another man. So, stamp it."
"Eh?!"
Izumi Toru did not explain, but pouted at the big screen in the store and said, "Listen, does my voice sound nice?"
【If you want my club classroom, what are you betting on?】
On the screen, Kazuya Miyuki smiled and asked the white-haired girl standing in front of him.
Kyoko Shiratori didn't look at the screen.
She recalled what she had just said, looked around again, and saw two men not far away, pointing towards her with regretful expressions.
Izumi-kun, are you worried that others will talk to me?
Only Kyoko Shiratori, who has a very keen sense of love, guessed the answer.
…
Kyoko Shiratori is very much looking forward to this animation. Even though the author Toru Izumi personally said that "this animation may end in failure", she is still looking forward to it.
This time, the level of animation production was quite high. Except for the less luxurious voice actor lineup (the male protagonist's CV was more satisfactory), everything was above her expectations.
only……
Her attention is not on animation at all now.
Kazuo Aoki is by her side, and the person who has the best relationship with her in Tokyo is also by her side. The two identities overlap and form a handsome young man who is attracted by the light curtain in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.
His words just now were like a hurricane stirring up her heart.
No, it should be said that every time Izumi Toru said something strange with a serious attitude, it made this girl whose brain was mostly filled with love tremble in her heart.
"Why do you always like to do this to me?"
she asked in a low voice.
"What did you just say?" Izumi Toru turned his head and asked.
The girl did not answer, but turned to watch the animation.
Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Izumi Toru didn't ask any further questions.
The two people stood side by side, very close to each other.
After a while, Izumi Toru felt a hand tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Turning her head, Shiratori Kyoko's eyes were still fixed on the screen, and she said, "Actually, I also want to be Ai-chan. Is that okay?"
Izumi Toru stared at the girl's delicate profile and thought for a long time.
He said slowly: "There is no way I can treat you like Kazuya Goyuki treats Ai Hojo."
"Eh?! What are you talking about?" Kyoko Shiratori suddenly turned her head and looked at him in surprise, "I just want you to read the lines to me in Kazuya's voice."
"Yes, is that so?" Izumi Toru scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Yes. Of course you are not Kazuya Miyuki. But..."
Kyoko Shiratori's voice suddenly dropped, as if she wanted to say something but felt a little ashamed, but she finally stopped.
"But?" Izumi Toru asked.
Kyoko Shiratori shook her head and looked at the scene where Kazuya Goyuki and Ai Hojo were confronting each other.
I don’t like Hojo Ai like Kazuya Goyuki either.
The girl mentally added what she had not finished saying.
