I interpret life in Tokyo

Sakakibara Kaede sighed and nodded.

This method is very commonly used, such as "are you there" or "have you eaten?"

These two are the strongest ways to get closer to each other, but it's just that it's a bit difficult to tell the truth from the emotional strike-up to borrowing money to do things.

"Ah, by the way, let's take a picture of my brother."

Yuuki Asuna pulled Sakakibara Kaede's sleeve and pointed at the phone.

The sun is warm and the breeze is blowing on the Monday at zero①⑦④five wine④⑨⑧six afternoon. Everyone stays at home or drinks a drowsy cup of black tea in an afternoon coffee shop, and there is no one in the tram.Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede pulled off his mask, and made a victory gesture to Yuuki Asuna's cell phone.

"Senior Feng, you're smiling unnaturally..."

"Not very used to taking selfies..."

"Then for practice, take a few more pictures."

Asuna Yuuki took Sakakibara Kaede's hand and came to the window. Outside the window was the bright sunshine and high-rise buildings like those in Makoto Shinkai's movies. The light slanted down through the thick clouds and shone on the faces of the two.

"Well... this one is not bad."

Yuuki Asuna, who took more than 20 photos from different angles, looked at the screen on the phone, and when she saw Kaede Sakakibara leaning over her head, she generously showed it to him, "It's really good, isn't it?"

"Well, it does."

"Then I'll send it to my brother."

"...!"

Sakakihara Kaede's eyes trembled, and he quickly stretched out his hand, "—Don't!"

Asuna Yuki tilted her head in confusion, tapped her finger on the screen, and pressed the send button.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

The next moment, Sakakihara Kaede felt as if struck by lightning, the phone in his pocket was jumping up and down crazily, as if it was going to shake out of his pocket.

"——It's too late." The young man seemed to be saying his last words, he glanced at the bright and beautiful world outside the window reluctantly, and slowly took out the phone.

The caller is Yuki Koichiro.

"..."

"Whose phone is it?" Yuuki Asuna asked curiously.

"An old friend."

Sakakibara Kaede squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and slowly pressed the answer button.

"—"

"—"

For a while, neither side spoke, only the sound of quiet breathing.

They seem to be in tacit agreement, whoever speaks first will lose, Sakakibara Kaede calmed down, he was already mentally prepared to face the savage men in science, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Did not expect ah.

"Is it a scam call?"

Yuuki Asuna's curious question was the last straw that broke the camel's back. There was a cracking sound of bone rubbing on the other end of the phone, as well as a faint, wolf-like snort.

"Senior Yuuki, you won't... have a stiff neck?" Sakakibara Kaede asked thoughtfully.

Asuna Yuuki stuck out her tongue quietly, unexpectedly it was her brother's phone call, the two must be talking about serious work, seeing that Senior Feng's face is also so stiff, it may be someone who can affect all the gameplay of Sword Art Online Maybe a bug.

"... nice photos."

After heavy panting, Yuki Koichiro said, his voice sounded like he was in the office, and Sakakibara Kaede also heard Yuki Koichiro's hands begin to tap on the keyboard.

"How is Senior Yuki doing recently? Is work going well?"

"I got an ally in Osaka, and the planning of the branch is also proceeding smoothly." Yuki Koichiro talked about work, without the pressure of having a younger sister in his heart before, his tone gradually became more relaxed and flat, "It's just that I haven't stayed in Osaka for a long time, father The pressure on me is my motivation, and then I have to continue to travel all over Japan."

"Now that the title of Sword Art Online has been fully established, RECT can indeed go a long way. How about you, how does the new position feel? Do you feel that your hands are tied?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you are a genius, Mr. Sakakibara. Although you are a member of the planning team, you are still an assistant. Whenever you feel that your ideas are restricted, tell me, and I will promote you to directly do planning."

"That's free."

"You bastard..."

Yuki Koichiro cursed with a smile, shook his head, he was still as lazy as before, which is why his father praised this friend many times in front of him, and the reason why he was a good partner. . .He has no ambitions.

So lazy, I guess I stay at home every day. . .And Asuna——

Yuki Koichiro came back, his voice suddenly turned cold, "Sakakibara junior, tell me honestly, how are you getting along with Asuna recently!"

The voice was so loud that Asuna Yuuki, who was secretly leaning on the young man's shoulder, could hear it clearly. Her ears burned instantly, and she stepped back a few steps like a frightened deer.

"We get along pretty well, the relationship is much better than before." Kaede Sakakibara said and smiled at Yuuki Asuna, who snorted pretendingly and turned his head away, but his eyes still stayed on the young man.

"Much better? How good?"

"Hiss... This thing is not a data that can be calculated." Sakakihara Kaede scratched his head.

"That's right. After all, we are all science majors. It's not like us to describe our relationship with the artificial writing style of literature." Yuki Koichiro gave a thumbs up, and the younger generation of Sakakibara is quite like me back then.

"Ah, but we got married in Sword Art Online."

"?"

As the train stopped, Kaede Sakakibara nodded to Yuuki Asuna. Amidst the footsteps of people coming and going, Yuki Koichiro's fragmented screeching sound like a cyber-psychotic attack was perfectly covered up.

When the young man put the mobile phone next to his ear again, what he heard was the sound of peaceful breathing from the opposite side.

"Speaking of the marriage system, I would like to tell you about the areas that can be improved."

"...When you get married in the game, do you still have time to observe these things?"

"Ham, I'm a member of RECT. It's my job to pay attention to bugs and discover optimization."

Yuuki Asuna's eyes were lowered, only Kaede Sakakibara's shoes were in sight, and she heard Kaede Sakakibara talking about marriage with her brother. This fact made Asuna Yuuki's cheeks feel hot, like a shy little daughter-in-law, she followed Sakakibara step by step Maple walked forward.

"You really have a heart..."

Koichiro Yuki listened to Kaede Sakakibara’s many suggestions. For example, the two parties who get married at the wedding scene are not necessarily forced to wear suits and wedding dresses. Typing on the keyboard.

After a while, after the young man finished speaking, he summed it up, and after checking it was correct, both parties heaved a sigh of relief.

Yuki Koichiro was silent for a moment, he turned his chair, the sunlight outside the window made him squint his eyes unconsciously, he rubbed his temples, and grinned.

Although the current work is somewhat different from what he envisioned, it is not all codes and numbers. . .But he still has to like this kind of work, because he is the heir of RECT.

He looked at the name on the phone, and remembered the first time he had communicated with Kaede Sakakibara in front of Tokyo University, talking about his ideals in the department - at that time, Sword Art Online was just a demo game.

From the amazingness he saw in the TV series for the first time, to the ordinary life in everyday life, he was a little worried at this moment.

Of course, he was not worried about Sakakibara, but worried about his own sister.

He hopes that Yuki Asuna will not be like him, can walk his own path, and can obtain his own happiness.

If being next to Sakakibara junior was happiness, he would accept it.

"Senior Sakakibara, take care of Asuna's matter."

"it is good."

A man's promise never needs to be said. If Kaede Sakakibara patted his chest and promised to keep it on me, Koichiro Yuki would be worried that he was just talking about it verbally.

After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his face and returned to the work of the board of directors.

Sakakibara Kaede stopped in his tracks. He felt as if someone was gently hugging his back. He glanced sideways and found Yuuki Asuna leaning behind him. At this time, his face was reddish and he stepped back a few steps. There is a slight redness between the noses, obviously just bumped into it.

"Why are you still distracted while walking?" Sakakihara Feng laughed dumbly.

"Hmm... sorry."

"No nosebleed?"

Kaede Sakakibara bent down to look at Yuuki Asuna's nose. The latter felt the young man's eyes linger on his face for a long time, and the originally calm white face seemed to be gradually burning.

She coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"Well, did brother say anything?"

"Hmm..." Sakakibara Kaede pondered for a moment, was it a bit wrong to tell Yuki Koichiro's care, and told Yuki Asuna face to face that her brother asked me to take you into my heart. . .There seems to be something wrong.

"Senior Yuki still cares about you."

"Well, of course I know."

Red light stop, green light go.

Yuuki Asuna came to Sakakibara Kaede's side and held his wrist.

Noticing the young man's strange gaze, she coughed lightly, "This way I won't be distracted and bump into it when I walk."

It felt like there were handcuffs on his wrists, Kaede Sakakibara nodded, but Asuna Yuuki's fingers and wrists were soft, and her skin was very delicate, far from the steel-like coldness of handcuffs.

I stopped for a while at the flower shop next to the hospital and bought two bouquets of flowers to celebrate the discharge of Konno sisters.

Entering the hospital, Kaede Sakakibara came to the counter and reported the information of Kaede Konno's family - he had been here many times and helped out many times. The nurses here almost knew Kaede Sakakibara. And Yuuki Asuna walked into the inpatient department.

Yuuki Asuna let go of Kaede Sakakibara's wrist after entering the elevator, and what echoed in her mind at this moment were the eyes of those nurses and aunts looking at this side, as if they were looking at a pair of Biren.

Walking into the hospital area, the scent of flowers dilutes the pungent smell of disinfectant, Yuuki Asuna lowered her head, and quietly bit her lower lip. . .Yuuki, are you here?

"Yuki, it's right here."

Sakakibara Kaede led her to the ward, and said softly, "Konno Kapok Ji, Yuuki's full name, was infected when she was young, and her body has been suffering from various diseases, and she has been hospitalized since junior high school."

"why is it like this..."

"Even so, Yuuki didn't give up. She reads and writes every morning, reads the news after a nap, and plays games with us at night. Physical pain can't break Yuuki's will. I think back now, Yuuki's attitude when playing games Always upbeat and positive, no matter the game."

When Yuki Asuna heard this, she quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Then...that Yuuki..."

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, obviously she didn't want to hear the predicted consequences.

"Yuki, she was discharged from the hospital today." Sakakibara Kaede looked forward, and he saw the two sisters sitting in wheelchairs, with a gentle smile on his face.

Yuuki Asuna blinked at Kaede Sakakibara, and after a while, she laughed through tears, holding Kaede Sakakibara's arm to wipe away tears, on the bouquet of flowers in her hand, a few purple petals moved with the wind Fluttering.

Mrs. Konno watched this beautiful scene. After the young lovers were fighting, she stepped forward with a smile, "Sakakibara-kun, good afternoon, this is..."

"Ah... Auntie, my name is Yuuki Asuna."

The girl was sad to happy, at this time she was a little shy to hug Senior Feng's arm in broad daylight, but she calmed down quickly as a lady, and introduced herself to Mrs. Konno in a graceful manner.

Sakakihara Feng came to Lan Zi with a bouquet of flowers in his arms, and smiled at her, "Lan Zi, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital."

"Thank you, brother." Konno Lanzi showed a soft, loving smile, and she said softly, "It's great that Sakakibara is our brother. Are you right, Kapok Ji?"

"Well..."

Konno Kapok Ji looked a little flustered at this time, don't ask her why - although she can't speak in the voice, she can hear every word of the group members, she is very close to Asuna's voice Naturally very familiar. . .Not to mention that Yuuki Asuna used her real name to obtain the ID. When she introduced herself, Yuuki was already stiff.

"Yuki, Asuna is very worried about you."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled softly,

Konno Kapok Ji looked away guiltily.

Yuuki Asuna came to the girl with a bouquet of flowers, and when she got close, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help crying again, which was far from the healthy Yuuki she imagined.

"Asuna, don't cry." Yuuki whispered, "And...I'm sorry, I'm leaving without saying goodbye."

"I'm really worried about you, Yuuki."

Yuuki Asuna squatted down, placed the bouquet in the arms of the little girl, and then hugged her gently.

"Hey... Asuna, you smell a bit like my sister, it smells like sunshine."

"From now on, let's play together again?" Yuuki Asuna said with a nasal voice.

Konno Kapokji looked at his mother and elder sister who were watching with a smile, and his elder brother with encouraging eyes, his nose was slightly sour, and he grinned.

"Ah."
