I interpret life in Tokyo

"Compared with me, this place is more suitable for grandma's life."

The girl looked out the window at the contiguous houses and pursed her lips, "Grandma feels good about this community. She said that she has found a companion to go out for a walk with."

"Ha... Grandma is really energetic."

Ichinose Chizuru chuckled when she heard the words, but she felt a little lonely in her heart. She was looking forward to becoming a neighbor with the young man, and the relationship between the two could be closer, but she didn't expect him to move away.

But she can also understand this. When people go to high places, she will not complain, but will only work hard silently.

"Here, haven't you eaten lunch yet?"

The young man took the luxurious bento box from Ichinose Chizuru, she took out her own from the bag, and gave a share of chopsticks to Kaede Sakakibara, "I made it with my grandma, and we stewed the pork rib soup for a long time. It should taste good."

"Hiss... the meat is smooth and tender, the bones and flesh are separated smoothly, and the meat can shake three times when you pat the table... Ichinose-san..."

Ichinose Chizuru smiled embarrassedly at being praised.

"—I remember that Aoyama-san cooked this dish for us, can Ichinose-san perfectly restore this dish after eating it once?" Sakakibara Kaede opened his eyes in surprise, "Having such a talent, Entering Yuanyue Academy is not a random killing!"

Ichinose Chizuru's face darkened immediately, and after a change of the spring breeze just now, she gritted her teeth: "It was Aoyama-san who taught me when she came to my house last time."

After the show, she and several other little sisters also kept in touch frequently, and even went out for dinner when they had time.

The young man smiled, and began to savor Ichinose Chizuru's handicraft.

He found that the female friends he knew seemed to be able to cook, and Mai Sakurajima knew how to cook more. Madoka Higuchi cooks Japanese cuisine handed down from Higuchi's family, and Asuna Yuki heard that she can cook some high-end Japanese food—— This was uttered by Yuki Koichiro.

Ichinose Chizuru's cooking skills are recognized by him very much. After living under the same roof for so long, he has eaten all kinds of cuisines from various families.

"Ah, I have to leave after eating. There is an audition for a new play in the afternoon." Chizuru Ichinose glanced at her phone, and showed her phone screen to Kaede Sakakibara in a graceful manner. The purpose of the entry was Kei Iida Kaede Sakakibara took a serious look at the email notification, and returned the phone to Chizuru Ichinose.

"Daughter-type roles in urban life, such roles seem a bit difficult to play."

"I also feel that it is still very difficult to show that kind of almost normal affection to strangers, to treat parents."

Ichinose Chizuru pushed her glasses, frowned and thought.

"This is a new subject for me, and I will figure it out on my own."

"Ah."

Seeing that Ichinose Chizuru wanted to rely on his own strength to solve the problem of entering the play, Kaede Sakakihara did not continue to ask.

The next moment, Ichinose Chizuru leaned on Sakakibara Kaede's shoulder, and she said to herself, "Is this the feeling of relying on your father?"

"I think it's more like relying on friends." Sakakihara Kaede was slightly startled by Ichinose Chizuru's sudden action, but he quickly calmed down and cooperated with Ichinose Chizuru to carry out this scene Entering the play, "Well, father's words, I feel a little coquettish in it, right?"

Sakakibara Kaede and Ichinose Chizuru looked at each other. The young man only had memories of his father in his previous life. He was a taciturn middle-aged man. His relationship with his father was not as intimacy as imagined, but like two men. Incorporating family affection into every move of daily life, maybe his experience is not suitable for the subject matter suitable for Chizuru the next.

As for Chizuru Ichinose, she has lived with her grandparents as long as she can remember, and has never had a father role in her life.

"Spoofing...is that so?"

Chizuru Ichinose tried to rest her head on Kaede Sakakibara's shoulder, her black hair drooping, and she raised her eyes to look directly at the young man.

"It feels more like a couple." The young man scratched his head and said.

"Yes."

"--you."

The imaginary space where the two played for themselves was broken. Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru stood in front of the door one behind the other. The former had an unbelievable glint in his eyes. Asakura Toru wanted to imitate the characters in the movie She pretended to be cool and blew a whistle, but she failed, and all she blew was a whistling wind.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

Ichinose Chizuru was like a broken machine, she kept uttering incomprehensible jerky words, sitting at the table with a hot face, as if. . .broken.

"So, what's going on, Sakakibara-san?" Higuchi Madoka asked with a frown as he lit the new shoes he wore today, wiggling his toes slightly.

Sakakibara Kaede blinked his eyes, he seemed to find this passage a bit déjà vu.

After explaining it once, Madoka Higuchi seemed calm, Toru Asakura let out a long cry, "So that's how it is."

"Why is Higuchi-san Asakura-san here?"

"Mom, don't worry, go home and get something to eat." Madoka Higuchi said silently. Mrs. Higuchi is always worried about letting her live outside, even if she shares the rent with Asakura Toru, she is worried that she will be hungry and sleep at night Kicking off the quilt, it was cold—as if Madoka Higuchi was still a babbling child, and Mrs. Higuchi was worried about everything.

Mrs. Asakura is also worried.

"In a while, Mom, Aunt Asakura and I will go to the apartment to check. Where is Senior Sakakibara?"

Kaede Sakakihara glanced at Madoka Higuchi and laughed.

"What are you doing?" Madoka Higuchi gave him a cold look.

"It's really rare to be called senior by Higuchi-san, um, will I have to call you Higuchi-san from now on?"

Higuchi Madoka opened her mouth, she faintly wanted to scream out an answer in her heart, but her throat was blocked, and she couldn't express it - besides, there were Asakura Toru and Ichinose Chizuru present, when talking about this kind of topic Shouldn't it be said during the candlelight dinner?

Like the candlelight dinner in a dream that night.

"I have an appointment with a senior this afternoon, and I will be home before dinner." Kaede Sakakibara said in a tone like the husband he had confessed to his wife before going out. Madoka Higuchi thought of this by accident, and his face became even colder.

"Understood, I will leave food for you."

Asakura Toru curiously watched the couple simulation between the two actors, unexpectedly felt that it was quite suitable.

"Ah... come tonight, Sakakibara-san too, welcome to the party."

"Welcome party?"

"It's mom and Aunt Asakura cooking to congratulate Asakura and me on living independently. It's not a party." Madoka Higuchi glanced at Tsuru Asakura and pulled her back on track. She nodded to Kaede Sakakura, "I understand , I will tell my mother to do more for Sakakibara-senpai tonight."

The young man nodded his thanks.

The eyes of the three moved to Chizuru Ichinose whose brain had been down for a long time, she felt the eyes of the three, and gradually came back to her senses: "Ah-ah, what happened?"

Seeing her bangs drooping to cover her eyes, the young man said, "Let's talk about dinner, Ichinose-san, when does your afternoon audition start?"

The girl glanced at the clock on her phone, "Ah! Sorry, I have to go."

Before leaving, she did not forget to put away the bento they had eaten, and bowed deeply to Madoka Higuchi and Toru Asakura in front of the door, and left as if fleeing.

"What's wrong with Ichinose-san? What's the situation?" The young man was puzzled.

Toru Asakura agrees with Kaede Sakakibara, "Well, I've been through it many times, and I'm going to be late for the audition—"

Madoka Higuchi stared weakly at the off-line youth and childhood sweetheart, she seemed to be used to seeing this scene now, so it was no surprise.

"Is the senior you met a boy?"

"...Senior and girls?" Sakakibara Kaede stared at the serious Madoka Higuchi speechlessly, took off the coat on the back of the chair and put it on. At this time, the truck of the movers was ready to go, and they were going to have a meal. Then send it directly to the new address in the afternoon.

"Who knows that, after all, you are Sakakibara-senpai, everything is possible." Madoka Higuchi snorted, and reluctantly stepped forward, as if holding back something, pulled the slightly crooked collar for the young man, "See you at night .”

"Well, thank you."

The young man smiled at Madoka Higuchi.

The three parted at the intersection, Madoka Higuchi felt Toru Asakura's curious gaze.

"what happened?"

"Higuchi, are you interested in Sakakibara-san?"

"What about you?"

Higuchi Madoka avoided answering, but asked Asakura Toru. She served as Asakura Toru's translator in her daily life, but at this time she couldn't figure out Asakura Toru's opinion of Sakakura Toru.

"Well, it's like watching a good movie."

Madoka Higuchi didn't understand, seeing Asakura Toru's mysterious and vague smile, she turned around and remained silent.

"How about some cake on the way home?"

"Have you brought your wallet?"

"..."

Most of Kaede Sakakibara's daily activities are in the Bunkyo District, but he also goes to Ginza a lot, and most of them are inseparable from the RECT company.

On the electronic billboard hanging outside the office building in the distance is a magnificent conceptual drawing. With the appearance and interweaving of sword lights and monsters, the logo of Sword Art Online slowly emerges.

The game has only been out for two months, but it has already become a topic of heated discussion among most high school students and a game that they play online after class.Brand-new world, magnificent world view, exquisite modeling, mature UI style, everything makes players feel the surprise of discovering treasures.

Although there are still purchases and downloads of electronic versions on the Internet, buying hard drives offline can not only get the official initial set, but also receive rewards for offline purchases in the game-although it is only a set of potions, this It's also worth a little money in the game.

Two days before the opening of the server, the major offline game stores in Tokyo were overwhelmed by the mmo players who came after hearing the news, and they had already achieved many sales targets before the opening of the server. Although they had expected this, it actually happened It still shocked them before their eyes.

"Yo."

Yuki Koichiro appeared next to Sakakihara Kaede who was staring at the billboard in a daze, patted him on the shoulder, and followed his example to look at the advertisement.

"It's shocking."

"Ah."

"Actually, I feel the same way. Our mission has only just begun."

I haven't seen Koichiro Yuki for a while, he looks more mature, after graduating from Tokyo University, he put all his energy into RECT company.He is not only the nominal founder of the Sword Art Online game, he also needs to be familiar with other departments of RECT. In the future, what he needs to inherit is not only the software department, but the entire company.

"I heard that you were recording a song after filming a while ago, when is the new song going to be released?"

"It's the end of April, it's only a few days away."

"What about the concert?"

Sakakibara Kaede glanced at Yuki Koichiro, he shrugged, "Please, I see someone leave a message under your band's official account every day requesting you to hold a concert, you are now popular, and it makes sense to hold a concert now All right."

Indeed, it is very business-savvy to think so.

"I don't know the exact location, but I should choose a place between Yokohama and Tokyo." The young man stretched his waist, "Speaking of which, senior Yuki asked me to come out today, what's the matter, work?"

"No, actually I have something to ask."

"what's going on?"

"Are there any vacant rooms in the house you are renting now?"

Sakakihara Kaede raised his eyebrows, "Yes."

"Asuna and I have officially started living independently, is it convenient for us brothers and sisters to move in?"

Chapter 2 I am not Zhao Yun, but Lu Bu

"Jiejiejiejie, as expected of Sakakibara-san, the location of this house is just what I want—"

Carrying two suitcases, Koichiro Yuki pushed his unrecognized eyes, and looked at the two towers whose lower parts were connected to the sky not far away, and showed a smug laugh.

"It's 2.2 kilometers away from Ginza, at the intersection of the center of Tokyo and the Wangan area, the 52-story tower-shaped twin buildings, there is something about this STARS office." Koichiro Yuki said, "I want to get this listing. ...the background of the firm is hard to say."

"Sakakibara-senpai, what do you think?"

The young man was carrying a backpack, holding a cute sports bag that looked like a high school girl's hiking, and a suitcase in his hand. Hearing this, he curled his lips, "The office is not very short of money."

"I can see it." Yuki Koichiro sneered, his eyes looked up and down Sakakibara Kaede's body, "I'm a little surprised by your physical strength."

"Don't underestimate Kamen Rider kora!"

The chestnut-haired girl whispered behind the two naive men, "Arnold, Sakakibara-san actually doesn't need to help me with my luggage."

"Do you understand the culture of college students living in the dormitory?" Kaede Sakakibara frowned, although Asuna Yuuki is not a college student, but just a third-year high school student, "When you enter the university campus, you must be careful of those men who are like wolves and tigers." College students, they will rush forward and rush to carry your bag for you, you think they want to help you? Wrong! They just want your mobile phone number!"

Sakakibara Fengyu told the ignorant Yuuki Asuna the sinisterness of society earnestly, with a sad tone.

Koichiro Yuki raised his eyebrows, aren't you talking about yourself?

"It's okay, if you're tired, I'll take it for Asuna." Koichiro Yuki rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to share the burden for the young man, but the latter stepped back half a step with a cold eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" The senior raised his finger and shouted angrily, "Are you trying to destroy my brother's image in front of Asuna? As a brother, you should protect your sister from all kinds of wind and rain—including the bag."

"Didn't you mention it just now, and you're as tired as that bark." Sakakibara Feng pouted.

"Damn it, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I'll go to the gym to exercise right away, you wait for me, three years later—"

Asuna Yuki watched the two elementary school students bickering with each other, a little speechless, what made her feel fresh was the other side of Sakakibara-senpai that she had never seen before.

The young man and Yuki Koichiro talked a lot when they went to the coffee shop for a cup of coffee three hours ago. Apart from work, they talked about life.

It had already been decided that he would move out to live alone, and even the house had already been taken care of, which was what he needed to exercise his independence.

As for why Yuki Asuna moved out, as the elder brother, he thinks that his sister needs a lot of time to commute to and from school every day, and is often pressured by his mother at home-this is the original words of Yuki Koichiro, he thinks that his mother is good in other places , is too much pressure on children.

He's been through it before, and the memory of that high school is something he never wants to think about again.
