Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

The production team of "Summer Returns" delayed the release date by a week.

Episode 13 has yet to be aired.

However, Beinuo and Bodao are indeed recording and have reached the end.

〈Alas, the rhythm of the battle series is really hard to control. A slight adjustment of the battle situation will lead to two completely different results.〉

〈Beino...you sound very tired.〉

"I have hardly slept these days, it would be strange if I am not tired."

〈Thank you, Director Kitano, for personally supervising. Um, there shouldn’t be any problems on the set of “Oregairu”, right? I heard you say that the recording process has slowed down a lot.〉

〈There is a problem.〉

〈Huh?〉

〈I always carry a cell phone from the world of Oregairu with me. A few times when I returned to the set, the time displayed on my cell phone was always wrong. If the network hadn’t updated the clock, I wouldn’t have noticed.〉

〈Is there a time difference between the two sets?〉

〈Not sure, sometimes the return is normal, sometimes there is a deviation of more than ten minutes, but fortunately, the impact is not big.〉

〈Oh, that's fine.〉

〈Hmm? My system is telling me that you feel guilty about this?〉

〈Why do you always hit my weak spot? 〉

〈It’s just to adjust your emotions. I hope you can get into the role.〉

〈Of course I have no problem, the last short shot is too simple, Bei Nuo is the one, is the song ready?〉

〈It's okay.〉

〈Oh~ It seems like he has a lot of confidence, going to karaoke with girls... So youthful! My personal guidance was not in vain.〉

〈I really hope you don't use Kugimiya's voice to direct, it's very distracting.〉

〈What?! How dare you dislike it, Kitano? Shiori's voice is so cute, the audience is all captivated by her.〉

〈That was a terrible blow.〉

……

The two employees are not far from each other, but they cannot talk face to face now.

At the summer festival celebration.

The road leading to Hiruko Shrine is much more crowded than before, with small stalls for playing and eating on both sides, and tourists coming and going are enjoying the festive atmosphere on the island.

The uncle selling takoyaki rolled up his sleeves and hurriedly made them. There was a long line of customers in front of him waiting to buy them.

"Oh, little brother! Here are your two portions."

"Thank you."

After paying the bill, Bei Nuo took the two servings of takoyaki handed to him by the uncle.

He walked alone among the crowd, stopping and starting, just like any other tourist.

But after taking a few steps, he looked at the snack in his hand in confusion. The octopus balls were steaming and smelled delicious, whetting his appetite.

“Why would I buy two?”

Bei Nuo slowly stopped and there was some doubt in his eyes. Even if he wanted to try the takoyaki on the island, there was no need for him to buy two.

Just as he stopped, a small figure suddenly jumped out from the side.

"Wow - it smells so good and looks so delicious." The little girl with twin ponytails raised her head, revealing a cute little baby face. Her bright eyes blinked twice as she stared at the takoyaki in Beinuo's hand.

Bei Nuo smiled and said, "Whose child are you? You are so greedy... But I can't finish all this, so I'll give you one portion."

As he squatted down and handed over the takoyaki in his hand, Shiori stretched out her hands and took it carefully.

"Summer Returns" is completely finished.

Of course, this newly recorded material has not yet been broadcast.

Most viewers from other time and space still stay at the end of episode 12.

Due to the large amount of content, Bodao had to use the "Anime Production Station" to make adjustments and divide Episode 13 into two parts.

The production progress of different time and space is different, so there is a delay. In order to allow the audience to watch it all at once, the production team chose to delay it for a week and then broadcast the two episodes at the same time.

The time and space that Xijiang lives in is similar.

Before the final chapter of "Summer Back" was updated, Xijiang opened the live broadcast room.

She set her live broadcast wallpaper as the promotional picture of Kofune Ushio and Ajiro Shinpei.

One hour before the show starts.

Her live broadcast room was packed with hundreds of thousands of viewers.

It was a weekend and the popularity of the live broadcast room was unprecedentedly high.

The audience chatted with Xijiang casually.

"Didn't Nanfang Rihe say in the last episode that she was hiding something? You should all know about it."

"She didn't tell Shinpei how Ryunosuke died."

"There is this flashback at the beginning of the animation. Although it is only a short clip, friends who have watched my live broadcast can analyze it clearly."

"14 years ago, Bo Dao and she were still good friends."

"It ended up like that."

Xijiang continued to explain: "That's right, Bodao prefers human blood, and once she's hungry her feeding instinct will be awakened."

"Because Ryunosuke came to visit unexpectedly and happened to see Hamada while he was eating, Ryunosuke died at Hamada's hands."

"The key point here is that Hadao 'scanned' Ryunosuke, and then ejected Ryunosuke's data. Nanfang Hizuru's body integrated this data, and then the phenomenon of two souls in one body appeared."

"But there is one more thing. The moment when Hadao popped up Ryunosuke's data, her left eye popped out at the same time. So when Hadao first showed her face, her left eye was blank."

"As for where this eye went? There are two guesses now. One, it's in Shinpei's body. Two, the eye scanned Kofuneshio and became Shadowshio's companion."

Some viewers complained:

"Classic enemy and friend share the same origin."

"Otherwise, given the Shadow Man's incredible strength, the humans will have to pay with their lives."

"It can basically be locked. Xiaozhouchao is the left eye."

"Indeed, the last two episodes are very obvious, and they are emotionally synchronized."

Xijiang talked for a while about the real-life prototype of "Ridu Island".

Some people complained that if you travel to this island, you must step on other people's shadows.

Time passes slowly.

"Summer Returns" will be updated soon.

"Countdown, ready!"

"I hope it doesn't end badly."

"On air! On air!"

"Specially waiting for the website to be refreshed."

"Brothers, charge!"

……

"Okay, let's get started."

Xijiang opened the animation webpage and the cursor stopped at the two most recently updated episodes: Episode 13, Part 13, and Episode , Part .

"I won't stop you if you want to watch it alone. If you're watching the show in the live broadcast room, I'll sometimes pause and answer your questions, so the progress of watching is a bit slow."

"The rest is still the same as before, so I won't go into details."

Click!

The mouse made a crisp clicking sound.

The animation starts playing——

The screen continues to be black from the previous episode.

A light slowly appeared from the darkness.

It's moonlight.

The cold and pale moonlight poured in through the glass windows in the room.

Shinpei Amishiro had his eyes closed and was leaning against the wall, as if he had been sleeping for some time.

The picture flashed, and the background suddenly became bright, but the surroundings were blurry.

This is a scene from a dream.

Xiaozhou Chao's back appears in the center of the picture, still wearing the dark blue swimsuit.

She walked forward on her own, her long hair swaying with golden light.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back, as if she noticed something, and snorted in dissatisfaction, and asked in the island dialect:

[Shinpei? Why are you still standing there?]

Xiao Zhouchao stretched out a white and smooth hand, stopped it in mid-air, with his palm slightly open, waiting for Shen Ping to take it over.

The scene the audience sees is actually Shinpei’s first-person perspective.

In response to Ushio's invitation, Shinpei called her name softly and slowly raised his hand.

The summer sun is scorching and the light is blinding.

Shinpei raised his hand halfway and then stopped.

The ground was covered with sand, like white clouds, reflecting dazzling white light.

Xiao Zhouchao’s face…is almost invisible.

[Really?] After letting out this helpless sigh, Xiao Zhouchao smiled carefreely, took Shinpei's wrist, and then made a triumphant declaration:

[Let’s move forward together!]

The dream is becoming more and more vague.

In reality, Amiyo Shinpei's expression was struggling, and his tightly closed eyes were trembling.

at last……

He woke up from his dream.

Pupils focused in the darkness and breathing became rapid in the sultry heat.

In front of me is a room that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

This is Xiaozhou's house, and it is also the room where Shinpei has lived since he was a child.

After he left here two years ago, the layout of this room has not changed, and it is not covered with dust because Xiaozhou Mio cleans and maintains it.

Shinping's consciousness gradually became clear and his breathing also became steady.

The sense of reality brought by reality dispelled the whispers in the dream, but left behind...

Endless despair.

[Ushio... Nanyun-sensei... Nezu-sensei...]

Every time he silently recited a name in his mind, the back of that person would appear in the center of the picture, until Shinpei bitterly said a fact:

〔yes……〕

[You are all dead.]

The moment he finished saying this.

The camera went dark as well.

Only the lingering sound of the words "all dead" lingered in the ears of all the audience.

News from the live broadcast room was immediately everywhere.

"ah? 』

"No, I can't accept it!"

"I told you something was wrong at the beginning!"

"What happened during this time?!"

……

Xijiang pressed the pause button without any suspense.

She was also digesting this depressing beginning and was silent for a few seconds.

Then he said: "The production team did a great job."

"Let's continue."

After the opening plot, it is indeed connected to the OP of "Summer Returns", but this time it is different.

The opening songs of the first 12 episodes did not have any specific images.

In addition to the animation effects, there is a list of production staff, singers and tracks, and some brief notes from Shinpei.

But now things have changed.

The song’s melody is still familiar, but the imagery is no longer obscured.

As the roar of the electric guitar sounded, the camera was aimed at the sea surface and moved forward at a very fast speed.

The waves and drum beats echo each other, and every strike seems to splash out a memory.

The ever-rippling sea surface is like a deforming mirror, reflecting those fragments of memories.

Audiences who have been following the series all the way will definitely be familiar with these scenes, because they are all important plots in the past 12 episodes.

The portrait of Kofune Ushio smiling, the shadow Mio smiling with a knife, Kofune Mio sideways in a yukata, the shadow Shio crying and hugging each other, Ryunosuke bravely shooting, Hata looking back in amazement, Nanfang Hizuru calmly examining...

The camera moved forward and finally revealed the outline of Ridu Island under the water.

The story title of "Summer Returns" also appears.

Under the affectionate singing of the male singer, the important characters on the human side and the shadow side are given close-ups one by one.

The two are opposed to each other, Shadow Shinpei and Human Shinpei appear together, back to back.

The former had an indifferent expression, while the latter looked worried.

However, the characters on the shadow side will have noise spots composed of mottled color blocks on their bodies.

〖? Fight and fight! Until you die and I die! ?〗

〖?Here! There is still life! ?〗

As soon as these two lines of lyrics came out, the human characters began to cry, with expressions of pain, anger, or frustration.

In addition, the scene of Shinpei's death is also shown.

He walked forward step by step, passing his own body, until he reached the end of the road.

〖?Without you, everything is meaningless! ?〗

〖?If there are only summer days like this left, what is there to miss?〗

A flash of white light made it impossible to see the scenery ahead.

But Shinpei held out his hand.

The camera rotates at this moment, and every time it turns a certain angle, the character will change.

But they all kept reaching out.

Starting from Shinpei, it changes in order to: Kofune Mio, Shadow Uo, Shadow Mio, Minami Hizuru, and finally Shadow Shiori.

Everyone's hands are different. Although they are both Mio, Kofune Mio's arms are normal, while Shadow Mio's fingers are twisted.

When it came to Shadow Shiori, the camera had already focused on the palm.

Shiori's hands were very small, but as she moved forward, a large male palm appeared at the other end.

But at this moment, when Shiori was about to hold the other person.

Shiori's hand suddenly turned into data noise... and disappeared.

The male singer's voice also stopped.

The opening theme of episode 13 ends.
