Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 938 National Mentor, Nishimiya Glass

Under the escort of the production staff, the voice actors, supervisors and others quietly evacuated from the back door of the hotel.

The success of today's event exceeded everyone's expectations. The leaders of the committee were so pleased that they changed the originally planned celebration venue to a more upscale restaurant to reward dear Mr. Hojo.

Not long after the launch conference ended, there were already many reports on several major online platforms, and the active forums for otaku were full of discussions. The promotional PV released by the production team was spread to many places.

“Are you sure such a conscientious PV is not a fraud?”

"The best of the year! I predict that if this article can really be of this quality!"

"Sure enough, all the beauty in the world is concentrated on those sweet and soft girls!"

"Get away from me, pervert! But then again, Miu is so cute, even the way she dies is so cute!"

"What do you think? That was a work that Hojo-sensei participated in drawing. Do you think that with his status in the industry, he would participate in a rubbish work?"

"Hojo Kyosuke? Is that true? Isn't he playing baseball? Why is he working as an original artist again?"

"..."

The topic inevitably turned to Hojo Kyosuke. There was no other way. Under the control of the algorithm, in order to gain traffic support, almost all places discussing this animation were marked with the words "#北条京介". Thanks to this, whether it was on Yahoo Neighbors or Twitter, the trend of Neighbors Neighbors was rising rapidly, and soon climbed to the end of the hot list.

Even more popular than this work is a video leaked from a self-media blogger.

The title of the video is: "Forgiving those who hurt you is a cruel betrayal of those who love you"

The subtitle is: The counterattack of new voice actors! Absolute courage to defeat workplace bullying! !

The blogger's name is "Amazing Wang Jiang". He usually makes videos about entertainment gossip and occasionally invites some small celebrities to participate in activities. Because he can often collect some amazing insider information, he has a lot of fans and is very popular.

The video begins in a dim passage. The camera angle is very low, looking up from the bottom. The center of the picture is a back view of a girl wearing a rosy T-shirt and a black and gold skirt. Her slim figure is extremely eye-catching in the hazy light.

Without any prelude, a light voice sounded.

"forgive?"

Almost at the same time as the sound rang out, overwhelming barrage of comments appeared on the screen.

"That sound!! Ah! I'm going to die!"

"wwwwww!!!"

"It's so beautiful! My ears are pregnant!"

"Forgive me! Forgive me no matter what!"

"It's amazing! It's like a voice coming from the bottom of my heart. Is it the original poster's voice or did Wang Jiang do some special processing?"

"..."

The amazing Wang Jiang is a blogger who is good at interacting with the audience, so he used conspicuous barrage to explain it in this paragraph.

"Except for minor editing for video effects, I did not process the audio in any way. Nitro's voice is really like an angel! Kami! She is Kami!"

Although the arrival of barrage added a touch of color to the dim background of the video, it also blocked the fanatical audience's thoughts on who the owner of the voice was, so many people chose to turn it off.

Then, the voice that seemed to touch people's hearts sounded again, with a slight smile:

"forgive?"

“If I forgive the people who hurt me, how will the people who love me cope with it?”

The voice was filled with a special clarity, and carried a hint of childishness and innocence, like the water of a mountain stream in summer, or like a breeze surrounding cherry blossoms in spring, tickling people's hearts.

Before people who clicked on the video had time to think about the meaning of this sentence, they saw the screen filled with comments such as "If I forgive the person who hurt me, how should the people who love me deal with it?"

The dense barrage of comments filled the entire screen, without missing a single detail, which shows the shock this sentence caused to the audience.

Without giving people a chance to react, the face of blogger Wang Jiang appeared in the video. She was an ordinary young woman. Not the ordinary type of Kato Megumi, but the real ordinary, with a homely hairstyle and casual light blue cotton pajamas. That face was the type that would appear more than ten times in any company. Of course, she was not Agent Smith.

“Old viewers know that I used to be a social animal, but because of too much psychological pressure, I got depression and a bunch of other diseases and had to return home to recuperate. I created this account because I had nothing to do during that time.

I received this video just an hour ago. After I finished watching it, I kept repeating the sentence at the beginning of the video in my mind.

"If I forgive the people who hurt me, how will the people who love me cope with it?"

I couldn't help but recall the days when I was working like a slave, drinking energy supplements instead of water, sleeping under my desk every day, and washing my hair only in the bathroom. At that time, I had a question: since I slept at the office every day, why didn't I cancel the rented house? In this way, I might be able to save enough money for retirement before I die from overwork..."

Wang Jiang's voice is very deep, and it is obvious that her experience with Yu Yu syndrome has provided her with a rich array of emotions.

"On the day I completely broke down, my arm was scratched by the edge of a folder, but what came out was not red blood, but black caffeine and taurine...

My sanity collapsed instantly, and when I regained consciousness, I was already in a hospital bed. At that time, there was only one thought in my mind: Ah... the smell of disinfectant is so good. "

The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly broke here, and the barrage became chaotic.

"Yes, yes, yes! I also love the smell of the hospital! When I was in school, I would go to the hospital to do homework on weekends! I felt my brain was surprisingly active!"

"I like the temperature in the hospital. It's neither too hot nor too cold, but my skin always feels stimulated. It feels good!"

"What do you prefer, the operating room or the morgue?"

"Get out of here, the morgue. Can't this be the recovery room in the hospital? Don't you feel happy when you see those patients working so hard to regain their mobility as human beings?"

"..."

As the birthplace of barrage culture, it is not without reason that Japanese people like barrage. Compared with comments that display account nicknames, barrage, which is like speaking from a God's perspective, provides them with a good place to vent their emotions.

The discussion in the barrage obviously has no effect on Wang Jiang in the video. She seems to be immersed in her memories, giving the audience time to buffer and also giving her time to think.

"Everyone should know that it's not the huge workload that makes people frustrated, because no matter how much work there is, it can still be done, and the feeling of everyone working together to complete the work is also very good."

This statement was agreed by many barrages, but these viewers all seemed to be students, and some of the barrages were full of crazy complaints and curses.

"Yes, it would be nice if society was such a simple place. Bullying, various soft violence, cold violence, isolation, blame-shifting, PUA... these are the darkest things in the workplace, any one of which can make people collapse. But fortunately, as long as you join a company with more than 2 employees, you will have the hope of receiving a big gift package for workplace bullying."

Wang Jiang seemed to have completely walked out of the shadow, and he said this with a laugh, which diluted a lot of the heavy atmosphere.

"If there are friends who are going through this, no, I should say that there must be many people in my audience who are going through this, I ask you, I hope you can ask yourself - "If I forgive the people who hurt me, how should the people who love me deal with it?"

With this question in mind, let's continue watching this video, a hymn of courage brought to you by Ms. Nishimiya Glass. "

The barrage of comments was full of "Ode to Courage". After seeing such an opening and Wang Jiang's foreshadowing, the audience was looking forward to the next video.

The video suddenly went dark, and the scene switched from Wang Jiang's living room to the dim corridor at the beginning of the video. This time, the audience finally saw the face of the girl with an angelic voice.

With a round head and cute baby fat on his cheeks, he looks like he's easy to bully.

This thought appeared in the minds of many viewers.

That pleasant voice sounded again.

"Why? Why should I catch you?"

"Before... didn't Oizumi-san deliberately stretch out his legs to trip Ms. Yoshikawa and spill the coffee on me? Two cups of coffee, remember?"

"Why should I catch you in this situation? It doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Besides, it's so strange, why did Oizumi-san suddenly fall down? Although the light in the passage is not very good, there are no obstacles on the ground, and there are no bends. Even if you close your eyes and walk, you won't fall down, right?"

"Could it be that? Because the plan to pour coffee on me so that I couldn't go on stage failed, Oizumi-san came up with a new plan to knock me down and make me have an injured ankle and a swollen head like you do now?"

"No way? That can't be true, right? But why did your head become so swollen that it turned into Oizumi-san?"

The girl's clear voice was so cute when she made jokes, and the barrage of comments filled the screen again.

"Is this Jing Yanye? I love you, Miss Nishimiya, please scold me too!"

"Before, I only wanted Kihara Saki to scold me, but now I want them both to scold me together!"

"Wait a minute, didn't you perverts hear that? This is a workplace bullying scene! That guy named Oizumi..."

"She wanted to frame Yoshikawa for spilling coffee on Nishimiya-san, and after her plan failed (?), she wanted to pretend to fall and push Nishimiya-san down, and now she's blaming Nishimiya-san for not catching her..."

"This is too much. I'm almost suffocating watching this. Miss Nishimiya can actually speak so easily..."

The number of words that can be sent in the barrage is limited, and some people directly paused to write short essays. Of course, there are many people who can see the thread of the matter, and many people act as detectives below. The sharp-eyed ones have already dug out the information of several people present and posted it on the screen.

"Oh, it turns out to be a battle of voice actors! Wonderful!"

Some people who watched the video late had already seen the promotional materials for the launch conference released by the official website of "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors", so they knew it more clearly: "Isn't this the voice actor group of "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors"? I saw that everyone was very happy at the conference. Didn't expect that such a thing would happen? No wonder Oizumi didn't appear on the stage."

The video continued to play. Facing Nishimiya Glass, who was possessed by a Kyoto person, Oizumi's defense was immediately broken.

"He's just a newcomer who got really lucky. He even got so hungry that his stomach started to rumble while dubbing. Is he worthy of being the protagonist? And he's wearing such a pretty skirt. If you want to be in the spotlight so much, why don't you just get naked... I get it, you must have known that you hate being teased, right..."

The audience was stunned when they saw this, especially some of Oizumi Kaori's fans, who said they never expected humans to be able to say such vicious words.

But before everyone could denounce Oizumi Kaori, the barrage of comments started to send out high-energy warnings again.

Yes, Nishimiya Glass’s personal speech, which was called “Ode to Courage” by the amazing Wang-chan, came crashing down.

"...I was indeed hated by many people and bullied by countless people. Now, have you seen this? Hearing aids. I am a hearing-impaired person. Because of this, I have been bullied since I was a child."

"Human beings' malice always comes inexplicably, to wild flowers by the roadside, to a puppy running along a corner with its tail between its legs, to clean walls, to a girl who can't hear words clearly, and even to a mother who gets up early to prepare lunch boxes... They always vent their malice in a way that is so stupid and blind that it's almost naive..."

The comments were filled with crying emojis and various words of heartache, but they didn't expect that something even worse was yet to come.

“Even if I was walking alone on the street, my schoolbag would be snatched away and thrown into the river. I would walk through the cold water to the middle of the river, and before I could pick up my schoolbag, hard stones would fall on my head.

If you ask them why they do this, probably no one can tell you. Even if they do, you can only hear some words like "I think it's fun" or "Because I have nothing to do"...Have their empty hearts been filled?"

"At that time, I was standing in the cold river, with small stones raining down on my head. They were pebbles by the river, and both the patterns and shapes were very beautiful. Many people may never know in their lifetime that such beautiful things can bring such thorough pain after being infected by malice."

The girl's voice was relaxed but mixed with a sigh, as if the person standing in the darkness being swallowed by despair was not her.

Hearing this, the barrage could no longer hold back:

"It also……"

"I declare that I will go on a hunger strike from today until Oizumi Kaori apologizes to Ms. Nishimiya and retires from the voice acting industry!"

"How pitiful! Why are you bullying Miss Nishimiya like this! Is hearing impairment such a sinister thing!?"

"I called the police."

"..."

Even through the screen, you can feel the audience's anger.

That was pity for Nishimiya Glass, pity for myself out of empathy. There was hardly anyone in Japan who could hold their heads high and say that they had never been bullied. Even the former bullies would definitely have their roles reversed one day, either leaving the school or leaving the prison...

In the dim video, the audience clearly saw the girl named Nishimiya Glass sigh with a compassionate expression, and then chanted in the tone of a legendary epic:

“Malice is like a contagious disease, and also like air.

I know that there is evil in everyone's heart, and the only way to resist is to fill it with love.

A person who lacks love has a lack of inner self, and can only show evil when facing the world. "

At this time, a line of subtitles made by Wang Jiang appeared in the video: "I can't imagine how much despair and darkness Miss Nishimiya has seen to have such a deep understanding."

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the dim video. It was the bright and brilliant smile of the girl. She said:

I used to be used to being bullied, but now I don’t feel angry anymore.”

"It's not because I've learned to forgive. Oizumi-san, you asked me why I didn't catch you and let you fall? It's because I haven't forgiven you for the evil you did to me, and I don't plan to forgive you in the future. Giving someone a second chance is like giving her a second bullet, so that she can make up for the regret of not killing me with the first shot."

“That’s what Kyosuke-kun told me. He told me not to take the bad guy’s apology as my salvation.

The only thing that can pay for blood is blood."

In the video, Nishimiya Naoko turned and walked away, and the silent barrage popped up again.

"That's very well said! We must never regard the bad guy's apology as our own redemption! That is, that is... the cruelest betrayal of those who love us!"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

Watching the back of Nishimiya Glass turning away without hesitation in the video, the video viewers were all very happy. This is how it should be. Never say forgiveness! Fight back firmly against all bullying!

At the end of the video, the words sounded again:

"forgive?

If I forgive those who hurt me, how will those who love me cope with it?"

The video ended, and Wang Jiang's face appeared on the screen again, but this time, she was already in tears, and she cried to the camera:

"If I had listened to what Miss Nishimiya said, I would never be who I am now. I would become a better person, absolutely!" (End of this chapter)
