Chapter 207 Suzu Sakakihara’s work schedule and her early birthday gift
Kambara Suzu basically goes to the office early these days.
In addition, because she took leave to return to her hometown a few days ago, she has a lot of work to catch up on these days... and she can only maintain her studies with difficulty.
Every night when Kagura Raku took her to review his notes, she would often fall asleep on top of her homework book just looking at it.
Then I couldn't wake up.
Every morning when Kanbaru went to pull her quilt, she still looked like she hadn't woken up and didn't want to get up at all.
"If you continue to sleep in, you won't be able to go to school today."
"Ah~~ If you don't want to go, then I won't go. Anyway, I have to go to the office for two classes, so I might as well not go today."
"You woke up and went directly to the office?"
"Well..."
"Even if you have the blessing of your art score, you still have to learn the basic courses well."
"...I know...Brother, you are so annoying, please let me...sleep a little longer..."
"Okay, I'll put your breakfast in the microwave for you. You can eat it with mom later."
"Okay~~"
I don’t know how long I slept for, but it was probably two hours after sisters Kambaraku and Tianhai left for school.
Kanbaru Suzu started to get up.
Stretching, rubbing her groggy eyes, washing up, putting on makeup, and having breakfast prepared by her brother, Suzu Kambara yawned.
The still somewhat empty tram rolled for a while.
Kanbaru Suzu patted the uncontrollable yawn on her lips and arrived at the office.
Today she will attend a release event for the new volume of "This Love Tastes Like Peppermint". As a voice actress, she needs to speak on stage and perform OP singing.
The most fundamental purpose of this activity is to help sell better.
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
As soon as Kanbaru Suzu entered the office's lounge, she found Yoshihara-senpai who had been staying here earlier.
She crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone leisurely. There was a cup of steaming coffee on the tea table next to her.
The two of them were very familiar with each other. After saying good morning, the two began to chat about today's activities.
"Why do we, the voice actors, have to attend the launch event?"
"Because the agency now has a cooperative relationship with the production of "Love Mint", will we also benefit from it if it becomes popular? Didn't you know Suzu-chan before? It's Sleeping in the Lake?"
"Ah? Well, it seems, a little bit." Kanbaru Suzu reacted immediately, trying hard to cheer up, with her usual friendly smile on her face.
"By the way, senior didn't you say you had something to tell me yesterday?"
"Oh! You still remember this." Nao Yoshihara looked away from the phone screen and gave her a tiger-toothed smile.
"What is it?"
"Of course it is -" Nao Yoshihara deliberately put it off, her index finger wandering in front of her face, and finally pronounced the word "s!"
s?" Kanbaru Suzu immediately felt a sense of crisis, "Ah? Who is s?"
"Suzu-chan, aren't you asking some useless questions? Of course it's Hidakaho whom you voice, Suzu-chan! The animation you voiced recently became very popular. The production team didn't expect the market response to be so good. Logically speaking, it's just
It’s just a pure love story. Maybe because the characters are cute? Haha, I don’t know.”
Kanbaru Suzu continued to ask: If s, is it the...school uniform that the male protagonist usually wears with him?"
"No, no," Nao Yoshihara said while looking at her phone and waving her index finger. "The latest volume is set in summer. I heard what the original author said."
"Summer? That's...swimming, swimsuit?!"
"Swimsuit?" Ms. Yoshihara snorted, "Why would you be asked to wear this kind of clothes in winter? If you stand on stage and sing like that, our office will definitely be called a third-rate office, and your fans will definitely not do it either.
I will agree."
"Senior, why did you deliberately say it was Xia Tian..."
"Well, haha, I'm sorry. I just said it casually while looking at my phone. I didn't think too much about it."
Kanbaru Suzu felt relieved and continued to ask, "What kind of clothes will it be?"
"Alice, do you know?"
"Alice in Wonderland?"
"Yes, it's that Alice, an improved blue and white dress, a princess tutu... But Alice's outfit looks more like a maid. I've seen that outfit, it's super cute! Previous Affairs
This is why I asked you for data."
"Do you want to wear...that kind of clothes?" Kanbaru Suzu was resisting in her heart, and even her expression became a little embarrassed.
You must know that she has never been used to wearing cute clothes like this since she was a child.
Her clothes usually consist of jackets, sweatshirts, shorts, sneakers, and dresses, which she rarely wears!
"Suzuki-chan, get ready. You are the protagonist today. Your manager will probably talk to you when he comes over."
"..."
"It's very difficult? Think about it, Suzu, if you are so cute, you become an anime heroine, and then you put on Alice's clothes that are full of different meanings. As long as you give the fans a warning in advance, will everyone think that Hidakaho is from now on?"
Did you come out of the book? I can even imagine the scene where you were exclaimed when you left the factory!"
The more Nao Yoshihara talked, the more excited she became.
"As long as A Ling wears that outfit and goes out, the video will be posted online. Do you think... everyone has expectations for it? Under what circumstances will the heroine wear such cute clothes?" p>
"...Senior, you're not here to convince me, are you?"
"Of course not! It's just that I want to see you wear it, well, that's all."
......
Dongdong.
Knock on the door.
The person who opened the door to the lounge was Suzu Kambara’s manager, Shi Nimura.
"Miss Yoshihara."
"Yeah, you're busy with your business."
After the daily greetings, just as Yoshihara-senpai said, before Kanbaru Suzu could finish a cup of hot tea in the rest area of the office, her manager Shi Nimura called her over alone.
The content, as Yoshihara-senpai said, requires her to put on Alice's costume and go on stage.
He also took the photo and showed it to her.
The clothes are very beautiful, simple and simple.
Of course there's nothing wrong with wearing this outfit, but for Kamihara Suzu, it's too... fairytale-like, like the style worn by a little girl.
But as a voice actor in an agency and a very famous voice actor in the industry recently, Suzu Kambara understood this request. Even if she didn't want to wear it, she still had the obligation to agree to it.
"Okay..."
"Well, that's good. Once Jie Qiansang arrives, we can set off by car."
In the workplace, Kanbaru Suzu is not a senior figure in the industry, so she knows that she cannot show off her temper.
...But I don’t know why, every time Kanbaru Suzu is asked to do this or that, she always thinks of a certain guy.
......
Why do you miss him?
How does it help your work?
Kanbaru Suzu will ask herself this again soon.
But...he doesn't seem to have said much to himself recently. Ever since he returned home, he has talked to himself less and less.
Every day, either a little fox or a big fox accompanies him.
Every time Kanbaru Suzu follows a few people, she feels as if it doesn't matter whether she exists or not.
Also, I went back to my hometown in Shikoku Island.
I thought I could spend time alone, chatting, and playing games.
What’s the result?
The little fox suddenly came over, and someone went to do something with her again.
Say we are together
Going to the city to visit grandma... I would never believe it!
It's like hiding from yourself, and you even said you were going to visit your grandma. Only a ghost would believe it!
Kanbaru Suzu suddenly felt a little unhappy, perhaps a little more serious than unhappy.
It should be described as lost.
He doesn't seem to need his company much anymore.
......
The office’s private car.
Ayano Kaichi, who was seated next door, noticed that her friend was not in the right mood.
"Suzuki-chan, you don't look happy lately?"
"There are some."
"What's wrong? Isn't today's event your home court? You were looking forward to it before, so you should be happy."
"I was looking forward to it before... But now, just now..."
"What is it...?" Jie Qiantian didn't hear clearly, so she leaned closer to her ear.
"I don't understand the point of continuing..."
Even though Kanbaru Suzu's voice became quieter and quieter, Kaichi Amano still listened to these words, which surprised her.
I was so surprised that I covered my mouth.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Suzu-chan, aren't you determined to be a big voice actor? The biggest one!"
"Don't get me wrong. I didn't say I wanted to give up. This is my goal, but I... always think I'm missing something."
"Money? Money for school?"
"No, I'm not short of money now. Even the salary is almost irrelevant to me. I told you before about my mother's remarriage. My uncle is quite rich and treats me very well. Although the exchange
It’s relatively small, but the pocket money I give you every day is not much at all. My money is getting more and more.”
"Shouldn't this be fun? More and more money." Jie Qiantian asked.
"It's true, it's true... You can buy any delicious food, you can buy anything you couldn't buy before... But, I'm just not happy." p>
How strange.
Tianno listened very carefully, but she still didn't understand what Kanbaru Suzu wanted to say.
Maybe it’s because of Kanbaru-kun?
Recently, everyone in the school said that the very beautiful Minister Tenkai in the school is suspected of being in a relationship with Kanbara-kun.
Suzu-chan, as...ahem, as that person, she would probably be very unhappy when she heard the rumors.
......
"What do you think of Kanbara-kun as your older brother, Suzu-chan?"
"Why did Tiano suddenly ask this?"
"Well, just ask."
"Hate him."
"Huh?"
"It's all his fault for turning me into what I am now." Suzu Kambara muttered emotionlessly, "Sweetheart, you know, in fact, I don't know how to cook at home, and I don't know how to do the laundry myself.
The kind of person who lies in bed all day long, listening to music, and playing with his mobile phone... I hate his character, and I hate myself for having to rely on him for everything."
"Huh——?!" Kai Qian Tian was even more surprised. Suzu-chan is recognized by the outside world as a hard-working and serious girl.
Both colleagues and fans think so.
"But I don't hate him at all. He cooks for me every day and does my laundry every day. Whatever I want to eat, I just need to tell him and there will be what I want to eat on the table at night..." Kanbaru Suzu began to talk to herself.
"It sounds like I feel sorry for him...
"Well, yes, even though I feel sorry for him, I have no right to hate him... I also know that I am willful, as his sister's willfulness."
"Suzuki-chan——"
Kanbaru Suzu didn't hear it at all, lowered her head and continued talking to herself:
"I...I also want to be nice to him, and I am very grateful to him for cooking me such delicious food every day.
"Come pick me up when it rains, for
Keep me out of the rain and expose my shoulders;
"When I was young, he knew I wanted to eat, so he deliberately left his portion for me to eat, lying to me that he bought the food with money he picked up outside;
"Every time I was bullied, he comforted me first and then took me to deal with those guys;
"I used to make toys for me, tell me stories, take care of me during thunderstorms, and coax me to sleep quickly..."
"Suzuki-chan——"
"Of course I want to respond! But you know what? I don't know what I should do, how should I answer. Before? It was fine before. There were only two people at home in the afternoon. If he came home every day, I could do it.
Chatting with him can relieve his boredom. But it's different now. He has someone to accompany him now, and even...even the most basic meaning of my existence is no longer needed...
"When he moved away, I was really happy. It seemed like I was back to the past! He needed me again! I could also respond to his kindness to me... But now, he
When I go home, everything is back to how it was before."
"Suzuki-chan!"
Jie Qiantian forcefully held Kanbaru Suzu's hand to bring her back to reality from her deep self-recollection.
Kanbaru Suzu sat in the back seat of the car, turned her head, and looked at her friend's concerned look with her purple eyes.
After a long time, she lowered her head again and whispered:
"Sorry, I got a little out of control."
Jie Qiantian actually listened carefully to the whole series of words just now, but she really didn’t know what to say.
"Suzuki-chan used to be in a single-parent family, right?"
"Yeah."
"Mom is very busy?"
"I'm very busy. I used to have to wear three jobs a day."
"So, it's Kanbara-kun who has been taking care of Suzu-chan in life?"
"Yes."
"No wonder..."
Jie Qiantian sighed in her heart. In this case, it would be impossible to persuade Suzu-chan to be independent.
As a girl of the same age, she had of course imagined how great it would be if she had a brother to take care of and protect her.
Not only does Suzu-chan have it, but she and Kanbara-kun have been relying on each other since childhood.
"For Suzu-chan, in addition to being the older brother, Kanbaru-kun has always played the role of father, right?"
"Yeah." Kanbaru Suzu nodded.
"That's why Suzu-chan cares about her brother. I can completely understand that it's really enviable for a brother and sister to have such a good relationship. I'm an only child. My parents are both company managers. I'm very busy every day. I go home every day.
I am alone at home... Every time I am alone and very bored, I will think about how great it would be if I had a brother who could chat with me, watch TV, study together, and go to school together.
...If he were in the same class and he sat at my desk, I would poke him on the back with a pen... Not only would he not be angry, he would also turn around and smile at me!"
Kanbaru Suzu was inexplicably moved by these scenes:
"Sano-chan...have you thought about it that way?"
"Yes," Jie Qiantian quickly took over, "It's great to have an older brother who will care about you and take care of you. If you have any problems with your studies, he will help you with your homework... If you are
If other boys bully you, he will help you fight back! There is no reason, just call him brother, well, you can achieve this effect."
Under Kai Qian Tian's words full of longing, Kanbaru Suzu thought about it seriously and carefully, "It seems...that's it."
"So, Suzu-chan has a brother who can take care of others, which is something that many people would envy! There is no need to feel disappointed."
It seems...that's it!
When Kanbaru Suzu heard this, Tianno-chan was right.
How enviable it is to have a brother who can take care of others and a second brother who can smile at you!
Tianono-chan wants a brother but she doesn’t have one yet!
As for someone, someone... he can barely... be considered the kind of brother Tianno mentioned above....
..
That guy can cook and teach homework.
Recently, I have been reviewing with myself at night the courses I had missed because of my leave.
Not to mention anything else...that guy...that guy was quite serious in his lectures.
His voice... his voice was definitely not as nice as mine, but the way he patiently explained the topic to me made my heart warm after listening to it for a while.
When Kanbaru Suzu thought about this, she felt quite satisfied.
Of course, there are still some small disappointments.
"Isn't it Suzu-chan's birthday soon? Kanbara-kun must have prepared a gift for you. Do you want to ask him how he prepared it first?"
Tianno's proposal is in line with Kanbaru Suzu's wishes.
She took out her phone, found someone's contact information in Line, and sent the question.
One minute, two minutes...
After waiting restlessly for three minutes, Kanbaru Suzu finally arrived.
[Birthday gift? Haven’t you asked me many times? Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared it for you]
The reply was followed by an emoticon, which is the arrogant expression that Suzu Kambara often uses.
Seeing this message...it was obviously just a message, but Kanbaru Suzu felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.
It’s so warm that I want to hold the phone in my hand.
Of course, Kanbaru Suzu still shows restraint in front of her friends.
[That...that's good!] She replied like this.
(New message pop-up sound)
Stinky Brother: [By the way, yesterday... I actually bought you an extra gift. Do you want to take a look at that gift first?]
Birthday present now?
Although there are still two days left.
It’s not impossible to send it in advance!
[Okay, I want to see it.]
Stinky old man: [Let me tell you first, don’t think it’s cliche. After all, I’ve done this to you so many times that I’m embarrassed myself.]
Stinky Brother:[Picture]
When Kanbaru Suzu clicked on the picture, the first thing she saw was familiarity.
Black doll rabbit......
Familiar...so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.
[Where did you buy it?]
[An animation peripheral store, I went in to browse when I was bored.]
Kanbaru Suzu put down her phone and frowned in deep thought.
