Seiyuu ka-! chapter 14 summary
Released in Hana to Yume issue 5 2010. Will be in volume 3!
Shiro goes to the designated location in her text message the following day. However, waiting for her there isn't the sound director, but just Yamada. He sits back and explains he's giving her a test right away. Shiro inquires about the plans they had with the sound director.
Yamada: "Are you serious? If the sound director hears your cracky voice suddenly then what'll I do, junk? Before I'm disgraced, I'm testing you away from everyone else. Hurry and start it, junk."
Shiro: "All your endings are 'junk'!!"
(XD)
The prepared test lines he has for her are, "I was always alone. But now you're here."
Shiro recognizes that there are times when she can make the prince voice and then there are times she can't. But since she's starting work as a male seiyuu she needs to bring out her prince voice correctly. She already knows her resolve. This is for her dream, as well as for not disappointing her mother.
With this in mind, she says the test lines perfectly with her prince voice, which absolutely astounds Yamada. He stands up and pats her firmly on the head and congratulates her for doing such a great job. Shiro is just as amazed as him. They're both caught up in excitement.
Yamada sits back down and tells her to do it again, but this 2nd time isn't so great. Shiro's voice goes back to sounding like the walking dead^^. Both of them are taken by surprise this time. A vein pops on Yamada face as he asks her to do it again, but this time correctly. Shiro only sees a minor setback and apologizes. But the 3rd time sounds even worse^^.
Yamada ties Shiro up and pins her to the floor with his foot. He asks her if she looking down on him, but Shiro frantically explains to him that there are times when she can and then times she just can't no matter how much she tries. All she can do is try her best every time. Yamada has a frustrated look on his face, but gives into her predicament.
Yamada: "Will we have to do a training camp? We don't have time..."
Shiro: "...Training camp?"
Yes. The training camp from Hell. For 3 days and 2 nights this training camp will be taking place. Not only that, but the AQUA boys are there as well. Mizuki waves to Shiro and cheerfully tells her that they came to take a break from work. The opposite of what she's doing^^. Shuuma grabs her attention and tells her she doesn't need to ask what will happen to her if she does anything to Mizuki. She is to stay away from them at all times. When she agrees to that in her normal frightened voice, she hears a speaker phone screech.
Yamada: "Shiro----! You're out!!"
What's he talking about? Yamada then happily flicks Shiro on the face as a punishment, knocking her cap hat right off her head. Shiro still has no idea what's going on^^. Yamada explains that the moment she got out of the car her training had begun. This retreat is called, "You must talk with nothing but your prince voice". If and when she speaks in her normal voice or her cracky voice, she will receive a flick on the face as punishment. But when she accumulates 100 of those, he'll bury her at the bottom of the mountain. As evil as he looks, he looks like he'll enjoy it^^.
Indeed, the training camp from Hell has begun.
Meanwhile, Shuuma and Mizuki are having fun playing tennis. Shiro looks over thinking it must be fun. But Yamada comes and places a pile of papers in front of her. It's time for her to read all of them aloud. Of course, she must use her prince voice. His smiling face is really scary^^.
After she's done with them all, her forehead is throbbing in pain. She got none of them right! You can definitely see the frustration Yamada is feeling. But no matter. He just moves onto the next thing. Only 62 more rounds to go until he buries her^^. Shiro begs him not to do it, which she does in her normal voice, causing her to get another flick and only 61 more rounds left. In the tennis court, Mizuki looks on with concern.
In their cabin, the training continues, only to have it all fail again. 20 more rounds until she's buried. The AQUA look on, with Mizuki look as concerned as before. Shuuma is bothered by this.
Shuuma: "Hey Mizuki. Are you concerned about that girl?"
Mizuki: "Yes. For some reason I feel a little sorry for her."
Shiro fails something again and gets a flick from the sadistic Yamada who still looks frustrated as hell. Only 12 more.
Mizuki: "Haruka-san has become really merciless."
Shuuma: "He was like that with us, too."
Mizuki: "But Shiro is really a girl."
Shuuma is all the more bothered.
Shuuma: "Mizuki, you're not thinking of lending her a hand, are you?"
Mizuki puts on a smile and says he'll do something if it's possible. Shuuma stands up from his chair and objects.
Shuuma: "Don't get too close to that girl. You'll be hurt! Just like before."
Mizuki: "You're wrong. I won't be hurt. Besides, calm yourself, Shuu. I'm not the same person I was in the past."
Shuuma looks at him with worry. He's definitely nervous about it.
At lunchtime, Shiro wonders why she can't make her prince voice at this time (while preparing her food). She only has one more round until she's buried. Yamada sneaks up on her and tells her that her meat is burning. In her normal voice, she automatically blurts out a reaction. That's 100 rounds up^^. As he still drinking a soda, Yamada drags her to go bury her^^. Poor Shiro~
Mizuki stops him, asking if it's just too unfortunate to go so far as to bury her as punishment. Yamada says that even he's not that mean. Instead, he'll just tie her up to a tree with no food. Neh, this is still a cruel punishment. Still, the next time she accumulates 100 rounds of punishment he'll definitely bury her. Shiro trembles.
Mizuki still thinks this is going too far and unties her. He reasons with Yamada that if "Hime" gets to the point where she is unwilling to do this job because of this training, then everything will be ruined. Shuuma is starting to look extremely worried.
Shuuma later finds Mizuki alone by a stream. He asks Mizuki if he's truly going to be okay. He thinks he's caring for Shiro a little too much. He thinks of what could happen if he starts getting serious about her, but Mizuki cuts him off saying he won't become serious.
Mizuki: "You don't have to worry. I care about Hime-chan simply because she's an interesting girl. I'm not...becoming serious. Even I don't want to repeat the same mistake I did in the past."
Shuuma seems a little more relieved, but still worrisome.
Later during the day, Mizuki finds Shiro sitting alone in the forest. He asks her why she's in a place like this, but when he approaches her closer, he sees that she's crying. He calls her name again, which causes her to snap out of it and freak out that he saw her crying. When she's about to explain why, he asks he if she wants to go home.
Mizuki: "...Should we go home? I'll tell Haruka-san to get another person to do it. If this goes on, you'll get sick of the dream you're pursuing, right?"
Shiro denies this and tells him that the reason she was crying was because she was disappointed with herself, not because this training is particularly difficult. This surprises Mizuki for some reason. Yamada is doing so much for her, but no matter what she does she can't do this right. But she's not going to give up that easily. She believes she needs to give it her all more and more and more until she gets it right. She puts on a big, determined, cheerful smile. Mizuki is completely blown away by this girl's determination. Even more blown away by that big smile of her's. Though now he looks more afraid for some reason.
Narration: {People's feeling are really something. Because they're not things that can be perfectly read.}
Shiro notices the look on Mizuki's face and leans closer to him to ask if he's okay. Mizuki, still dazed, says it's nothing, but Shiro questions that. He says he's okay, but...
Shiro notices a leaf on Mizuki's shoulder and leans in even closer to get it off. But Mizuki immediately jerks back, almost falling over. His eyes are wide and he's sweating a little, but when he realizes what he's done, he apologizes and thanks her, putting on an obvious fake smile. Shiro stares at him, which causes Mizuki to feel absolutely insecure. He stands up and turn away, leaving a very confused Shiro behind.
That night, Hime reads a magazine, still wondering what had happened with Mizuki. But right now there isn't time to be thinking about this and that. She needs to think about how to make her prince voice successfully.
Just as she's thinking about this, she flips to a page that has an advertisement for Senri's new album. She remembers what she felt in her mind not too long ago.
" I want to know about Senri Kudou..."
She breaks out in an embarrassing blush and tosses the magazine away. Indeed, she has no time to be thinking about that sort of thing. The only thing she needs to do is become a top-notch seiyuu and play the part of a Lovely Blazer. For that reason, she sets her resolve to properly make a prince voice at this training camp so this training retreat will end without mishap...
Meanwhile in the boy's room, Mizuki quietly sits by the window. Shuuma tells him he's going to bed and turns out the light. Mizuki looks on with a half smile, almost looking ill. He sighs and curls his legs up, resting his head back against the wall.
Mizuki thoughts: [How embarrassing. I need to do something about this.]
Shuuma watches him through the darkness.
Chapter 15 will be the first series of Hana to Yume in the next issue, along with a full colored cover page~~! It'll officially be released on February 20th, 2010.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was curious before. NOW IT'S BOTHERING ME. You know what I mean. Mizuki's past. Who did this to Mizuki-kun~?! It's okay that he doesn't feel ready to get serious about someone, though. It seems traumatizing enough. But "Shiro" is a good girl. But, well...everyone knows Hime will probably end up with Senri, right? If Mizuki does end up falling for Hime and is hurt when this happens...GAH! I don't want to think about all the trouble that may come in the future! It pains me~~ It makes me half hope that this is just a "I care about her, I don't love her" situations. But I like Hime and Mizuki~~~~~~~~~ Though I like MizukixShuuma too...(XD) I'm throwing a fangirl fit, aren't I?
I pitied Shiro throughout this chapter. The poor girl^^. I would start crying too, no matter how tough I was. Yamada is evil(^^) It almost slipped my mind, but Shuuma said he was that way with him and Mizuki, too. I wonder what kind of training he put those two through...
Neh, I was looking at alternate names for Seiyuu ka and I saw different variations such as Seiyuu kaa, Seiyu kaa, Seiyu ka, the Japanese title, and the Chinese title. I wonder what the English title is? Don't ask me~! It could be "Voice actor/actress?!", "You're a voice actor/actress?!", or "Voice Acting Division!" (Since "seiyuuka" translates into "voice acting division/department").
Lastly, I had time to scan the Seiyuu ka CD case that came with this past issue. They accompany the CD Drama furoku that was in issue 4. So I can put my CD in one of the 3 cases that were included (Berry Berry, Monochrome Kids, Seiyuu ka-!)
