Chapter 8: Kevin and Theresa's Dubbing Journey
"Ah, the wasteland... late at night... and mysterious disappearances... could it be haunted?"
In the recording studio, the microphone was lowered especially for Theresa. Listening to Theresa's emotionless voice, Cillian and Shub frowned at the same time.
Cillian used the microphone to speak to Theresa in the soundproof glass recording studio: "Theresa, can you show some emotion? You need to show three parts of fear, three parts of panic, and four parts of entanglement."
"Ah?" Theresa's eyes widened, she glared at Cillian fiercely, and said resentfully: "My throat is not a pie-shaped statistical chart! Besides, I, Theresa, am an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal after all, how could I be afraid of ghosts?!"
"Theresa, do you dare to say that you are not afraid of ghosts?"
Cillian smiled playfully and asked a soul-searching question.
"Uh…" Theresa scratched her pretty face awkwardly and said stubbornly, "I am me, but Theresa in the story is an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal!"
Cillian smiled and said in Otto's tone, "Dear little Theresa, no matter whether you are an S-rank Valkyrie or not, in the president's heart, you will always be just a child who will never grow up. How can a child not be afraid of ghosts?"
"Shut up!" Theresa's face flushed red, and she said coquettishly, "Don't speak in a grandpa's tone!"
Cillian shook his head and said to Shub beside him, "Shub, take care of our little Theresa first. I will go find the voice actor of 'Old Man Kaslana'."
Shub nodded, looking at little Theresa who was looking up at the recording studio with a half-smile.
Theresa shuddered, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.
"that..."
As a salary thief of the Far East Branch of Schicksal, before two o'clock in the afternoon, President Cillian took a day off and drove to the World Serpent Technology Company ten kilometers away.
World Serpent Technology Company is called a company, but in fact it is more like a research institute. It covers a wide range of areas, from chip networks to machine materials. Among them, three doctors are famous all over the world.
After parking the car, Cillian took out his cell phone and called a social worker who was typing code for the Internet.
"Hey, Kevin, I'm downstairs at the World Serpent Building."
On the ninth floor of World Serpent Company, Kevin, a corporate slave who was typing code, saw his vibrating phone, looked at his colleagues who were still busy around him, and stood up.
At the workstation opposite Kevin, there was a lady in an office outfit with short gray-blue hair. Her dark red eyes looked at Kevin's departing back in confusion. Her ahoge hair was shaking slightly as if she was wondering if she would get a raise or bonus if she went to complain to a certain CEO about Kevin's absence during work hours.
After Kevin got off the elevator, he saw Cillian, who was bored on the sofa in the front hall, and said helplessly: "Cillian, why are you looking for me during working hours?"
Cillian put down the tea served by the receptionist and said with a half-smile, "Kevin, do you still want to be a hero?"
This sentence made Kevin dream back to high school.
At that time, Kevin was still a sunny and passionate high school idol. Because of someone's words, he excitedly told Su and Cillian that he wanted to be a hero.
Kevin blushed when his dark history was mentioned, and said unhappily, "Did you come here in broad daylight just to make fun of me?"
Cillian put her arm around Kevin's neck, glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner that was staring at them strangely, smiled subtly, and whispered in Kevin's ear: "I can't satisfy you if you want to be a hero, but I will create a hero for you in the anime."
Kevin tilted his head in confusion, and when he reacted, he looked excited, "Really?"
"Shh!" Cillian made a hushing sound.
Kevin understood instantly, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
On the twelfth floor of the World Serpent Company, looking at the two people whispering in each other's ears on the surveillance screen, Mr. Gao, a certain Serpent, had a puzzled look on his face. He looked at Kevin, who was puzzled and excited and snorted with disdain.
Went upstairs in the elevator with Kevin.
There was no one in Mei's office, so Kevin and Cillian had to go find Mobius.
Knock, knock.
Hearing the knock on the door, Mobius silently turned off the computer.
"Enter."
Cillian opened the door and Kevin followed him.
Mobius raised her head and looked at the two people who came in with disdain on her pretty face.
"I didn't expect you to come here with your little follower. What's the matter? Your animation company can't continue? Are you planning to come to World Serpent to beg for a living?" Mobius curled his lips, still as vicious as ever.
"Senior Mobius, you are still so stubborn." Cillian sat on the sofa in Mobius' office without any hesitation.
The office slave Kevin felt very uncomfortable. First of all, he was not familiar with the senior. Secondly, as an office slave, he felt really uncomfortable staying in the boss's office during working hours.
But Cillian wouldn't. To be precise, he was the largest investor in World Serpent Technology Company. Mobius and Vill-V had just graduated from college and wanted to start a company, so Cillian invested a large sum of money.
That day, Kevin found out that his roommate of three years was actually a hidden rich man with enough money to buy half of Far East.
"Heh." Mobius curled his lips. "So you're here to look for this little follower today? What does your animation company need him for? To write code?"
"Of course not." Cillian smiled, "Kevin is still very capable."
"Oh, what abilities does he have?" Mobius said disdainfully.
Kevin looked embarrassed.
"Senior Mobius, please tell Mei that I'm borrowing her boy today."
It seems that not only Kevin feels uncomfortable, but Cillian also feels uncomfortable.
Mobius propped up her head and watched Cillian fleeing away, covering her face with her hands in a sick manner.
…
Cillian held the steering wheel with one hand, took out his cell phone with the other hand, opened the folder familiarly, and threw it to Kevin who was almost asleep in the passenger seat.
"Take a look at the script. You don't have a lot of scenes to tell. Familiarize yourself with it first and try to finish dubbing all your lines today."
Kevin took the phone in a daze.
There were no pictures on the phone screen, only text.
Cillian was thinking about the rest of the dubbing while driving.
'I can find Sister Amber to dub Amber.'
'But who should be asked to voice the three pseudo-Herrschers created by Sirin?'
Cillian thought about it and decided to look for some female classmates from Theresa's St. Freya College.
The remaining unimportant dubbing was left to Shub.
"Hello, Cillian, someone named Siegfried sent you a message." Kevin shook his phone.
"What did he say?"
Cillian just took a glance and then concentrated on driving.
Kevin read: "He said he made an appointment with Welt to meet at the coffee shop in the commercial district of St. Freya College at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Please reply for me, okay."
"Um."
When they arrived at the Schicksal Far East Branch, Theresa had not left yet, so Cillian took Kevin to a dubbing studio nearby.
Soon, Cillian's helpless voice was heard in the recording studio.
"Kevin, don't be so... sunny. In the plot, you have experienced a lot. You won't be a mature senior like a high school student."
Until the evening.
Kevin successfully adapted the little bit of dubbing content to fit Cillian's ideas.
And at that time, Theresa had not left yet.
