I live my life in Tokyo

After all, the boy is just an ordinary person. He is not a hero who saves the world, nor is he a superman who saves a collapsing building. What he can do is to give his sincere blessings.

I wish everyone who has talked to him and formed a bond with him a smooth journey and a bright future.

"Sakakibara-senpai doesn't like tragedies."

"Reality is bitter enough, sometimes I just want to taste some sweetness." Sakakibara shrugged, "Of course, I also like to read realistic literature, I like to appreciate it, and I like to think about how to play the role in the book. After all, reality is hard to accept."

"I don't read tragic literature just to make myself feel bad."

"Oh, that's perfect. Sakakibara-senpai can read my novel."

Sakakibara smiled but said nothing. In the end, the novel written by Kasumigaoka Utaha was still a mystery. She didn't tell him actively, and Sakakibara wouldn't ask him actively. With both sides speculating, Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the computer.

"Sakakibara-senpai has never shown any concern for my studies."

"Kasumigaoka-san, aren't you a top student? How... should I care about you?"

Facing the teasing smile on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, Sakakibara Kaede was a little surprised. When he saw the slightly red face of Ichinose Chizuru standing in the kitchen to fill the water, he sighed, "Kasumigaoka-san, please don't tease your senior too much."

"Ah... I understand." Kasumigaoka Utaha quietly stuck out her tongue and walked forward to cuddle with Chizuru Ichinose.

Sakakibara Kaede smiled bitterly and shook his head, then started to clean up.

It was late at night, and the boy returned to his room and lay on the bed. He picked up the handheld game console that had not been used for nearly a month and lay on the bed.

"Huh..."

What? Yuki is online.

I said before that I might stop playing games, but it turns out I can’t let it go.

"Yo--"

"Isn't this Uncle Harukaze? I haven't seen you for three weeks~"

Yuki's words remind people of a vibrant high school student. At least just by looking at this line of words, one can imagine the sunny, warm and friendly soul behind the handheld game console.

"I already told you I'm not an uncle..."

"But Mitt said you are an uncle."

"I'm the older brother, understand, brother."

Despite all the complaints, the boy was still quite happy to see Yuuki. At least he had someone to play with.

He propped himself up and sent a lot of models to the RECT company terminal in the form of mail packages. Sitting on the office chair, the boy crossed his legs and asked, "What should I play?"

"Hmm... I see Asuna and Mitt are online, do you want to party together?"

"Good good."

Yuuki was recruiting people, and the boy took this opportunity to check his private Twitter account for a while. He skillfully liked the artist's post and then turned his eyes back to the screen.

Asuna and Mite's little figures appeared on the screen, greeting each other and waving.

"Ah - Uncle Qingfeng, what have you been doing these past few weeks?" Mitt's little man complained with his hands on his hips.

"Well, Uncle Harukaze must have his own things to do, so it's very rude of Mitt to ask that."

Asuna's figurine made a stop gesture and tried to smooth things over.

"By the way, how about we meet up and get together to play games face to face?" Mitt raised his hand and suggested.

Today I finally posted it...

Chapter 42: Grandma's Magic Eyes

To say it is a face-to-face meeting requires a basis for meeting in person - living in the same city.

The IP addresses of the four people all showed Tokyo, which undoubtedly made the meeting much more convenient.

In response to Mite's words, Harukaze and Yuuki's villains chose to remain silent.

Asuna quickly said, "Don't worry, Harukaze-san and Yuuki-san. Mite has been studying a lot lately, so he wanted to go out and have some fun."

"Asuna-san and Mite-san know each other in real life..."

The little man of Qingfeng nodded.

A private message popped up.

"Qingfeng-san, you should go meet with the other two. It's a bit inconvenient for me."

After seeing Yuuki's private message, Sakakibara Kaede changed her lying position and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm actually a little inconvenient too. I've been busy with work recently and can't spare the time."

"Hehe, I actually feel comforted, thank you Harukaze-san." Yuki sent a smiley face.

Sakakibara Kaede sent a bear hug emoji, and the private chat ended there.

Mitt seemed to have quickly forgotten the term "meeting in person" that he had just mentioned, at least he did not mention it during the next game.

They played until late at night. Fortunately, the four of them did not play a turn-based strategy game, otherwise it would have been morning outside the moment they opened their eyes.

Yuuki said goodbye to the three people and logged off quickly. The boy did the same. He turned off the handheld game console and put it aside to charge, glancing at the time next to it.

After the game Sword Art Online is released, he will probably go to bed even later.

Well... If you put yourself in his shoes and think about how many people are needed to maintain and fix bugs in an online game, the pressure on him as an outsourced member will be reduced a lot.

Lying on the bed, thinking about his unknown thoughts, the boy yawned and closed his eyes.

He has another mission.

This mission was a private agreement between him and Chizuru Sei of the Ichigun Group 1017459498. The filming crew would not follow them for tracking filming - most of the footage had already been shot a few days ago, and the final farewell was filmed on Sunday.

The first time he met his living companion, besides Chizuru Ichinose, was actually a female passerby named Kasumigaoka Utaha who he met and talked to for a few words in the bookstore. One can't help but sigh at the coincidences in the world.

The one in charge of breakfast today is Nanami Aoyama.

Sakakibara Kaede took a sip of the soup and suddenly realized that he would have to make his own breakfast next week... He would have lunch in the cafeteria and dinner at the Higuchi family's.

But he thought again... It seemed that he had eaten three meals a day at the Higuchi family before, so it was okay.

He just felt like continuing to film the reality show. If he completed the tasks assigned by the production team in front of the camera, he would be given the right to lie down and eat binge. How comfortable it would be.

However, this might be one of the last times I get to eat the traditional Japanese breakfast made by Nanami Aoyama.

Kaede Sakakibara and Chizuru Ichinose ate fresh fried fish face to face, chewing slowly and savoring Nanami Aoyama's cooking skills.

"Sakakibara-senpai, Ichinose-senpai, is today's breakfast to your liking?" Nanami Aoyama asked with a smile, wearing an apron.

"Mm, it's delicious, Nanami-chan."

Ichinose Chizuru praised with a smile, and Sakakibara Kaede agreed, "Mr. Aoyama's cooking skills are excellent, and the food carries a family warmth. I like it very much."

"Hehehe." Nanami Aoyama didn't expect Sakakibara Kaede to speak so exaggeratedly. She could actually taste his emotions and use words like a reviewer in the catering industry.

Sakakibara Kaede nodded secretly. He learned this sentence from the Totsuki rating website. Putting aside what happened at Senior Yuki's house that day, the family dinner prepared by the Totsuki chef tasted really good.

"Seniors, you should go to work. Work hard!"

When Nanami Aoyama saw the two of them changed their clothes and put on shoes in front of the entrance, she cheered them on.

"Same here, Aoyama-san. The new audition is tomorrow, right? Do you need me to take you there?"

"Ah... no need to trouble Sakakibara-senpai." Nanami Aoyama felt a little embarrassed. She was already such a grown-up, but she still needed the pick-up from her senior. She would feel shy if she told others about it.

The two took the subway first and then a taxi. Although taxis in Tokyo are a bit expensive, grandma has a lot of things to carry with her. It's more convenient to spend a little more money and call a taxi than to sit in the subway with a lot of bags on her back.

Sakakibara Kaede doesn't spend much money on a daily basis. He is not the kind of person who would check his bank account anytime and anywhere and count how much savings he has. For him, the only expense at the moment is eating out. After the show is finished and he moves back to his small house in Bunkyo Ward, he will just have to pay an extra rent.

But he is planning to spend some money to buy something recently. Although he is still comparing which one has the best price-performance ratio in the market, he has already made up his mind to buy it.

The boy is going to buy a motorcycle.

I have completed the driving test and now I am waiting to hit the road.

The atmosphere in the hospital was still as cold and deserted as before. The two showed their credentials and walked into the inpatient building. They took the elevator to the floor and entered Sayuri Ichinose's room. They found that she had changed her clothes and was doing stretching exercises in the room with ventilation on both sides.

Sakakibara Kaede felt uneasy. If he bumped into something or sprained his waist, wouldn't he have to continue to stay in the hospital?

"Ah, grandma, the doctor said you need to rest." Chizuru Ichinose took a step forward dissatisfied and supported Sayuri Ichinose who was about to jump. The latter smiled comfortably when she saw her granddaughter coming, and her smile spread a lot when she saw the young man standing behind her granddaughter.

"Hello, grandma. Nice to see you again."

"Haha, Sakakibara-kun, I'm really happy that you can come to help Chizuru." Ichinose Sayuri said with a smile, covering her chest.

"Do you need my help sorting out something?"

Kaede Sakakibara came to the cabinet and found that most of the things had been packed, but there were some that they might not have had time to organize yet. The two of them brought a lot of cloth bags when they came, just to deal with this kind of occasion.

"That's all there is left. I haven't had time to sort it out yet."

"Then let me do it."

The boy took out a cloth bag and began to pack. He moved quickly and methodically.

Sakakibara Kaede had such an experience in her previous life, but her expression at that time was not a smile, it was completely the opposite.

After an elderly person in bed dies, their family members are also required to pack up their daily necessities and take them out of the hospital.

Sometimes, when an elderly person is admitted to a hospital or nursing home, it is very difficult for them to leave.

Sayuri Ichinose was able to be discharged from the hospital, and Kaede Sakakibara was sincerely happy for Chizuru Ichinose.

"I'll help too."

Chizuru Ichinose could not bear her grandmother's probing and teasing look, and she said with a red face and dissatisfaction, as if she was venting her anger, and the frequency of her movements was exactly the same as that of Kaede Sakakibara.

Ichinose Sayuri drank a cup of tea with a smile, squinted her eyes, and looked at the backs of the two people calmly.

It is Chizuru's luck to have such a reliable and enthusiastic senior.

Grandma had indeed thought of asking Chizuru Ichinose to seize the opportunity and not let it slip away, but now it seems that this senior Sakakibara is not only giving special care to Chizuru Ichinose.

That's just the way he does things, especially on reality shows.

Having such a naive character will get hurt in this society.

Kites have wind, dolphins have sea. Youth may be like the colorless and tasteless birdsong and fragrance of flowers. You may not notice them when you are not paying attention, but as long as you calm down and feel them, you will find that there are pink peach blossoms, green willows, singing of orioles and chirping of swallows everywhere in your daily life.

His presence can be seen everywhere.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Sayuri Ichinose blinked her red eyes, listened to the spirited voice of Chizuru Ichinose's complaints, and closed her eyes slightly.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was wearing a thin blanket and there was a pillow behind her. Ichinose Sayuri yawned. It seemed that she had overworked last night in order to reduce Chizuru's workload.

"Grandma, you're awake."

Chizuru Ichinose was lying on the side watching TV. When she heard her grandmother's movement, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two of them turned around just now, they saw their grandmother's peaceful appearance, which really scared Chizuru Ichinose, and she almost cried at that time.

After learning about the misunderstanding, Ichinose Sayuri smiled and stroked the girl's cheek with her rough palm. The latter squinted her eyes comfortably, leaned on her grandmother, and felt warm in her heart.

"The taxi will be here in five minutes, Ichinose-san, let's start moving our things."

The boy pushed the door open and entered the room, nodding to the two people sitting on the sofa.

"Thank you for your help, Sakakibara-kun."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled, as if accepting Ichinose Sayuri's thanks. He picked up the slightly heavy cloth bag and left the light one to Ichinose Chizuru.

Ichinose Sayuri could walk without any help. She was just tired and felt much more energetic after taking a nap. She didn't even need a cane and snatched a cloth bag from Ichinose Chizuru's hand.

"grandmother--"

"Don't worry about me, I'm in good spirits." Sayuri Ichinose blinked her red eyes. Her words were soft but powerful. Recalling that she was practicing some unknown boxing when the two of them came in, she probably did a good job in maintaining her health.

"How are you going to thank Sakakibara-kun?"

"Hmm..." Ichinose Chizuru felt a little embarrassed when she heard this topic, "Um... would you like to treat Sakakibara-senpai to a meal?"

"Can a meal pay off the money I spent on getting you into the firm, taking care of you on the reality show, and taking care of me when I'm discharged from the hospital?"

Ichinose Chizuru lowered her head and mumbled something in a low voice.

"Xiao Qianzuru, do you like him a little bit?"

"Huh? Ah?" Ichinose Chizuru's cheeks turned red, like a cat with its fur standing on end. She quickly raised her head and looked around. When she found that there was no young man, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not what you imagined, grandma!"

"I admire and appreciate Sakakibara-senpai, not like him. Even if I like him, it's just the kind of star-chasing love for an idol, not the kind of love a girl has for a boy."
