Tokyo: Who would still fall in love after being spoiled?

Chapter 103 Look, that’s the new voice actor Takeda’s boyfriend

The conversation that started as soon as he entered the house made Takeda, who had just returned home after a tiring day, forget to take a bath.

After watching voice actor variety shows for a while, Takeda finally found a new show that interested her and continued watching it with relish.

He said hello, went to the bedroom to get his pajamas, and went into the bathroom first.

His pajamas were usually placed at the head of the bed, so he picked them up and passed by a desk with a small standing bookshelf. He paused in front of the bookshelf and browsed through the books he had placed on it.

Most of them are literary novels. I have read many of them in Chinese translation in my previous life. Now I read them again according to the island language translation, and what I can get from the story will be different.

If he has the opportunity to learn more languages in the future, he might buy the original works in English, Russian and other languages used by writers and read them again.

Xiaoban is a serialized light novel he collaborated with. After each volume of the novel is published, the publishing house will give a copy to him and the original author as usual.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous books with cover illustrations drawn by him.

There is absolutely no comic book, magazine, or adult book of that kind.

He just felt that those things could not bring him any substantial help. His sixteen-year-old body was just beginning to develop. At most, he would occasionally have nocturnal emissions. His sexual desire was far from reaching the point where he had to find a way to actively solve it.

The memories of past lives also bring with them a different outlook on life than the average person. Love only occupies a small but distinct part of the world, hidden in a corner of the entire world of thoughts. It is common for it to be forgotten in life.

He thought back to the past few days, recalling walking side by side with Amano on the nearby residential streets; his endless conversations with the cactus; his entertainment reading light novels; pinching faces with Takeda and watching TV programs together...

Suddenly, an intuition gradually became clear——

He reads these literary novels, trying to gain something from them, but isn't he the same as himself in his previous life?

The only difference between reading literary fiction and listening to classical music was that one was something he enjoyed somewhat, and the other was something he had no pleasure in at all.

Moreover, as he spent points to learn a lot of piano music and Lv.4 trumpet playing, he gradually became able to understand the emotional expression of some classical music and grasp the stories told in it.

It's really an entertainment activity with a certain threshold...why not listen to more Beatles...

Let's put aside for now the arguments about whether there is any distinction between high and low, whether it is necessary to distinguish between elegance and vulgarity, material and spiritual... from what he has learned from literary novels and classical music, and from what he has learned from the conversation with the cactus doll. It may take him a long time to come up with the answer.

But at least, what you get from talking to the cactus doll is something that you can never find in the former's world.

He withdrew his gaze from the bookshelf and walked into the bathroom with all these thoughts in his mind.

Add hot water, add cold water to adjust the water temperature, soak in the bathtub, and watch the water level rise above the edge of the bathtub, splashing water.

Empty your mind, soak comfortably for a while, then get up, turn on the shower, and let all the fatigue from the soak be washed away with the water.

Wash your hair, shave, and brush your teeth.

I dried myself, put on my pajamas, drained the bathtub of the water I had used to soak in, and walked out of the bathroom.

He suddenly remembered that every time Takeda washed first, he would let him drain the water himself.

But this situation only happened two or three times. Most of the time, he would take a shower first. When Takeda came home, he would have finished his shower early and retreated to his bedroom.

He walked into the dining room and saw that the program on the TV had changed back to horse racing. Takeda stared at the screen intently, like a serious horse racing fan, not wanting to miss any details.

"Have you seen your father?" he asked her, sitting down aside.

"No." Takeda shook his head.

He looked at the TV screen and felt as if he had seen the scene being shown on it before - this was probably just a replay.

"Go take a bath, I'll help you find it." He observed the running racehorses, their agile posture and the smooth and strong muscle lines on their bodies, and said to Takeda.

"..." Takeda was silent for a few seconds, "No need to look for it, my father didn't go to the horse race."

"Then I'll just watch the horse race and see if the horse I just fell in love with will win." He took a fancy to a white horse, which was really beautiful.

"...The remote control is on the coffee table." Takeda finally stood up and walked towards his bedroom on the second floor.

"learn."

That was the end of their communication for the night.

After taking a bath, Takeda went back to her bedroom quietly; he watched his favorite white horse get the second-to-last good result, then he used the remote control to change channels aimlessly and watched a puppy jumping through hoops competition for a while.

For him, watching TV is a familiar yet unfamiliar form of entertainment.

The fact that he doesn't watch TV often is one thing; whether in his previous life or now, as the Internet has developed to a certain level, the need to watch TV has become less and less.

In my life, the only time I would watch the New Year’s Eve live broadcast on TV with my parents and the annual programs like the Red and White Songs Contest was almost at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

But even radio is still alive and well these days, and I'm sure television will be able to continue to live for many years...

If that doesn't work, it can also be used as a monitor for playing games and watching videos...

The next day, he set the alarm for six and woke up early. Takeda also woke up early and put on makeup in front of the mirror at the sink.

On the day of the audition, Takeda also put on some light makeup.

But in his opinion, Takeda is already cute and pretty enough without makeup, and there is no need to go through so much trouble to dress up.

While brushing his teeth, he told these comments to Takeda who was standing beside him, but Takeda sighed indifferently.

"Of course I know," she said without any modesty, "that's why I need to wear makeup even more."

"A lion fighting a rabbit?" He couldn't figure it out.

"You're stupid!" Takeda put down her lipstick for a moment and glanced at him. "There must be more girls who look prettier with makeup than girls who are naturally cute, right?"

"That's right..."

“So when I put on makeup, I went from being a cute girl to a girl who became beautiful after putting on makeup,” Takeda concluded earnestly and earnestly.

"So that's how it is." Then he suddenly understood.

"So, Inoue, you don't need to put on makeup," Takeda said. "Just keep it as it is now. Don't comb your hair if it's even slightly messy."

"Why?" He was about to pick up the comb.

"A question," Takeda wrinkled her nose, raised her lipstick, pointed at him, and said, "Why do I want you to accompany me to the agency for an interview?"

"To prevent any agent from instigating you to become an idol." He looked at the lipstick, and the brand engraved on the base was completely unfamiliar to him.

"That's right! So what are you going to do?" Takeda nodded with a little relief.

So what should he do...? He looked at Takeda, lost in thought.

He had never thought about this question before, thinking that all he had to do was show up...

"Let them know that you already have a boyfriend and don't want to be an idol." He didn't think much about it and blurted out the answer.

He immediately realized that his wording was inappropriate, just like the time when he subconsciously called the rental house his home.

"That's right," Takeda took back the lipstick, "At least during the two days of the interview and reporting to the agency, you have to play the role of 'new voice actor Takeda's boyfriend' well." Takeda helped him fill in the word "play", and he felt a little relieved - an unclear relationship could easily bring danger, and he still hoped to be able to get along with her on a daily basis according to the inertia that had always been there.

"So!" Takeda admonished him with an exclamatory tone, "Of course you should be as high-profile as possible!"

"How to be high-profile?" He rarely cared about how he appeared in the eyes of strangers.

"First of all, I want to show that even without being too well-groomed, I can still look quite handsome!"

"Can I understand you're praising me?"

"Will you be happy when I praise you?"

"Overjoyed." Which man doesn't like to be praised by a beautiful girl...

"Then I won't praise you anymore in the future." Takeda, who was in serious mode, couldn't hold on for more than three seconds before he broke into laughter and accidentally stained his face with lipstick.

"First, dress naturally, and then what?" He looked at his messy hair in the mirror, resisted the urge to comb his hair according to his living habits, and put down the comb.

"Care about me." Takeda made his second request.

"Buy you the most delicious oranges, and then pick off the white peel?" He is still impressed by this sentence.

"I still remember..." Takeda paused in applying foundation.

"And you said I could lie to you. Anyway, you don't know which orange is the most delicious."

"Hmm..." Takeda suddenly became absent-minded.

"Do you want any dessert? Something more expensive." He picked up the toothbrush cup and continued, "I'll take this opportunity to treat you."

"...Remember that croissant shop you told me about earlier?" Takeda hesitated for a moment before speaking, his voice a little softer than before, "They sell a dessert called Basque bread there."

"Is there anything else?"

"Hmm... there's also a kind of dessert that's made of layers of biscuits with various cream-like ingredients sandwiched between them. It seems to be called Napoleon Pastry."

"No more?" he asked.

"Two desserts is a lot, right?" Takeda wondered. "That bread is huge."

"Buy a few varieties so you can share them with others," he said. "Of course, buy only the ones you like, so you can have some no matter which ones they take."

"That's totally wrong!" Takeda pouted in dissatisfaction, "That would only make me heartbroken."

"Heartache?"

"They're all my favorites! Naturally, I don't want to give any of them away," Takeda said, offering him a suggestion. "Why not just buy one that I like, and buy whatever else you like."

"What if someone else picks it up?"

"Stupid Inoue! Of course you have to hide my portion first," Takeda had his own thoughts, as if he was thinking about how to let everyone know that she already had a boyfriend who doted on her. "Then after I've shared the other desserts, you can give me my portion."

"so……"

"And then tell them, 'I bought this especially for Qi-chan, and I hid it because I was afraid it would be picked up!'" Takeda might have read a lot of light novels and girls' comics.

Otherwise, how could one come up with such a well-designed plot...

"I see." He nodded in agreement.

After washing up, Takeda hadn't finished putting on makeup yet. He searched for the location of the dessert shop on Google Maps. The shop details that popped up on the map said that it opened at 7 o'clock.

So I went out of the house and bought two breakfast sets from Maimai, brought them back to the rental house, and had breakfast with Takeda.

The two of them went out together, bought a piece of Basque bread and a bunch of croissants from a dessert shop, asked the staff to pack them into two bags, and took the tram to the voice actor's agency.

When we arrived at the location, it was only 7:50, but almost all the newcomers who had received interview notices were already there.

The interview venue occupied an entire floor. The new voice actors were all dressed up and stood on both sides of the corridor, looking at the elevator entrance nervously.

When they saw him walk out of the elevator, completely unconcerned with his appearance, several newcomers couldn't help but bow...
