I live my life in Tokyo

The boy took a deep breath, put down the phone, opened the door, and was greeted by the chocolate and vanilla waiting for him with a cat-face.

Kaede Sakakibara has a dream, a childish, what some people call a middle school student dream, of becoming a hero.

End of the volume

Hello everyone, I am Jue Ye.

The third volume ends with young men and women full of dreams gathering under the eaves.

In this volume, I wrote about those characters that made people feel sad, and used the show to give them a relatively perfect ending.

Their future will surely shine brightly.

When I was writing this volume, I happened to encounter a ban on speaking. I can only say that it was very painful.

After talking about the third volume, let’s talk about other things. I personally prefer to describe the interactions between the heroines. They react differently in different situations and say different words, which vary from person to person due to their personality.

At least I read one chapter after I finish writing it, and there is no ooc or anything that makes people want to pick up a knife and chop people.

The next volume is about the filming of a special effects drama. Naturally, the focus is on the filming process, not the result - if I want to save time and effort, I can just describe the original plot directly.

In today's high-tech society, how to make a modern version of Kuuga is my current problem.

Of course, there will be a lot of interaction between the male and female protagonists, but the theme is still to add the relationship with the heroine while carrying out the career line.

I looked at the book club circle before, and many readers said that they didn’t know who the remaining two of the five female protagonists were. After all, I wrote Sakurajima Mai, Higuchi Madoka and Ichinose Chizuru in the introduction.

Let me give you a secret first, the fourth heroine is Yuuki Asuna.

Asuna, my wife.

The spoilers end here. The story suitable for Asuna's appearance will have to start writing at the end of the fourth volume of Kuuga, and by then the fifth female protagonist will also have more roles.

As for the story after Kuuga, just stay tuned. I expect to finish writing this book by next year, and it will definitely have a million words.

Regarding updates, I am not a full-time writer. I am currently a 24-year-old student. I am a little envious of Brother Chen next door who updates every three days.

Okay, enough of the idle chatter, the theme of the fourth volume is heroes.

Words that are not difficult to understand.

The fourth volume is titled: The mortal who brings smiles to people ties the belt

Just sauce.

Jue Ye pays respects.

Chapter 1: The Unprecedented Audition

I had a very long dream.

Compared with Zhouzhuang's dream of the butterfly, it is more like Zhao Jianzi's dream of Juntian.

He dreamed that he went to another world, where there was no Sakurajima Mai who brought him into the acting industry, and no Iida Kei who took care of him. He tried hard to become an actor, but failed in auditions again and again. In the agency, he was a dispensable third-tier actor, and he only lived on the little income from acting as an extra every month.

Even so, he still lives his life with a smile every day, facing all the injustices in the world with a strong appearance and a smile.

Sometimes he even wondered if he had traveled through time again. How many footprints had he left in his previous world?

Sakakibara Kaede suddenly woke up, with a hint of pain in the depths of his blue eyes. After a moment, it turned into spring rain again.

I was holding the phone in my right hand, which was being directly exposed to the sun and felt very hot.

The white cat pendant is surprisingly dazzling in the sun.

"Meow~"

Two bags of meat were hung on Kaede Sakakibara's body. The boy leaned back and yawned, then hugged Chocolate and Vanilla in his arms and stretched his sore muscles.

Last night I watched special effects dramas and action dramas in front of the computer until late at night. Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in front of the computer.

Listening to the contented purring of the cats, Sakakibara Kaede patted their stomachs, then got up and started preparing breakfast.

After pouring fresh cat food and some fresh fish chunks into Chocolate and Vanilla's cat bowls, Sakakibara forcefully stuffed the bread into his mouth.

He was not actually used to eating breakfast, but because of Mrs. Higuchi and his participation in the filming of Dream Apartment, he once again added breakfast to his daily routine.

The result of this audition will not be released so hastily. Although he has filmed a movie under Toei, this is not his advantage - there are countless actors who have filmed under Toei, and this alone cannot make his experience in ghost movies an advantage.

It should take about a week to finalize the audition.

Sakakibara Kaede took a sip of coffee to refresh herself. In addition, there are a large number of extras. You have to know that special effects dramas broadcast a fight and daily life, and there are countless passers-by, students, and police. During filming, the roads have to be cleared and chase scenes have to be staged... These are all huge workloads.

After looking at the date, the boy was not in a hurry. This audition was a challenge for himself and also an attempt to pursue his dream. Even if he was not selected for the role, there were other TV series and movies for him to choose from.

Although saying this at that time would only be self-consolation for the loser.

"Brother Sakakibara, I'm at your door."

The boy put down the phone, opened the door, looked at the private car parked in front of the door, and smacked his lips with emotion or something, "Hey, isn't this Iida-san? It seems like I haven't seen you driving a car for a long time. What brings you here today?"

Iida Kei got out of the car and sneered, "This is obviously me caring about my artists. I got up early to see you off on the most important audition day. Can you understand my selfless heart for you?"

"Iida-san, what you do is just basic operations for other agents." Sakakibara raised his eyebrows and nodded repeatedly, "Believe it or not, I can walk to Higuchi's house in five minutes now. I'll take Ms. Sato's car."

"So, Brother Sakakibara doesn't give me face?"

Sakakibara curled his lips when he heard that, and pointed to the cool retro motorcycle next to him, "I can even ride a motorcycle directly there. Iida-san, you probably can't imagine the roar of the engine speeding on the road."

"Varied!"

Iida Kei stared at the shiny motorcycle with a distorted face, "You... you actually own a Red Hare? Who gave this to you? Where's the receipt? Show me!"

For a moment, Iida Kei felt his neck getting a little cold. He looked at Lu Bu, who still had a sneer on his face, and looked at the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand with twitching eyes.

Who wants to snatch my people! Who wants to bully me? Who wants to become Fengxian’s new adoptive father?

Kei Iida was circling around on the motorcycle with his eyes sharp as a ray, trying to find some clues.

"What? You want reimbursement?" Sakakibara Kaede happily extended her hand to Iida Kei. "It's not expensive, just over 600,000 yen. I didn't expect Iida-san to have such an idea. I'm very relieved!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I didn't hear you, I didn't hear you."

When Iida Kei heard that the boy bought it himself, he immediately waved his hands behind his back to indicate that he didn't hear it. He was not very good at playing dumb.

Sakakibara Kaede snorted, opened the back door, and saw the figure sitting in the back seat that surprised him a little.

"Ichinose-san?"

"Good morning, Sakakibara-senpai!"

Ichinose Chizuru greeted with a smile.

Iida Kei returned to the main seat and heard his two generals greeting each other. The corners of his mouth curled up, "Are you surprised, brother Sakakibara?"

"You mean the fact that Ichinose-san also auditioned?" Sakakibara leaned back in her seat and let out the air from her lungs. "Ichinose-san's rookie actor training class ended last week. Ichinose-san graduated successfully, so it's natural for him to participate in different auditions. It's just a little unexpected that he would participate in Toei's audition this time."

"Hahahaha!" Iida Kei laughed four times with high spirits. "After this audition at Toei, I also prepared auditions for other TV series for Ichinose-kun."

"I brought Ichinose-kun here just to show her her future workplace and let her get in touch with a large-scale audition with thousands of people in advance. This will also be helpful for her future work."

What he said does make sense, Sakakibara Kaede nodded.

Chizuru Ichinose smiled in a very easy-going and polite manner, and her attitude towards Kei Iida remained the same, even though she had just heard the quarrel and argument between the boy and Kei Iida while sitting in the car, which made her know the unknown side of Kei Iida.

The car sped along the road in late summer and early autumn, blowing up the fallen leaves on the roadside and blowing the thoughts of passers-by.

What Kei Iida said to Chizuru Ichinose earlier about being familiar with auditions of thousands of people also applies to Kaede Sakakibara. At least he has never experienced a situation where hundreds of people compete for a role.

"Hey, move a little..."

From afar, he saw the exhibition center that Toei had rented for the audition. The fleet of cars looked like a group of elementary school students being picked up and dropped off at school. Kei Iida honked the horn several times, but ultimately couldn't squeeze in, which made him quite angry and he knocked on the steering wheel.

"Let's go on foot."

Sakakibara Kaede gave Chizuru Ichinose a look, and they both opened the car door at the same time.

"Hey--" Iida Kei quickly stuck his head out of the car window and shouted, "Do you know the way? Don't run the wrong way. Sakakibara-kun, you take care of Ichinose-kun. She's a newcomer in the workplace. As a senior, you have to lead by example--"

The endless reminders made people think of their parents first. The words were full of care, which made Chizuru Ichinose feel warm in her heart.

The boy nodded to Iida Kei, who opened his throat and shouted, "I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

The loud roar caused many actors who were getting off the car together to look sideways. They all smiled kindly upon seeing this. Chizuru Ichinose felt a little embarrassed, but Kaede Sakakibara was thick-skinned. After waving to her agent, she mixed in the crowd and walked towards the exhibition hall.

Along the way, Sakakibara Kaede met several acquaintances, and they chatted with each other and exchanged a few words of greeting and social etiquette as they walked, which made Chizuru Ichinose, a new actor who had never had an audition experience, sigh with admiration. She looked at Sakakibara Kaede's profile with politeness and a gentle smile, and secretly sighed in her heart that she could not learn such a mature attitude towards others.

The boy noticed the nervousness of the girl beside him, nodded goodbye to the familiar actor, and then stepped back to her side and said, "We will go to find the sign of STARS agency later. For large auditions like this, they will gather in the form of an agency first, count the number of people, and then go into the venue for the audition together."

Chizuru Ichinose nodded, and her tense shoulders relaxed a little. At least at the beginning she could see many familiar faces from the STARS agency, and the conversation could wipe away her nervousness.

Kaede Sakakibara and Chizuru Ichinose walked along the gravel path on the lawn and entered the parking lot. There were many large buses parked here, and many young people could be seen slowly getting off the buses. They were dressed in bright clothes and had mature and confident smiles on their faces.

"This is an actor from Muse. You should have heard of this agency. It is large in scale and has a wide range of business. Most importantly, it has a large number of talented people. It is the object of imitation and surpassing for all other agencies."

The boy looked around but didn't see Ken Sano.

The Kamen Rider series will not let the same actor play the role of Kamen Rider. If Ken Sano wants to audition, he can only audition for a position other than the leading role. Apparently his agent thinks it is not worth spending an entire winter season filming an inconspicuous role.

The boy was not surprised not to see Ken Sano. He walked towards a small corner of the parking lot where there were many small and medium-sized firms. STARS was considered to be a larger medium-sized firm. When the two of them came to the sign marked with STARS, they found that many people had already gathered here.

The number of people who participated in the audition in the past was about the same as the number of people in STARS agency now. He smiled bitterly, thinking that the competition was very fierce.

But soon, he put aside the burden in his heart and skillfully greeted the actors he knew. After saying hello, he let Chizuru Ichinose step forward, and there was another round of introductions and greetings.

"Yo."

The boy's shoulders were hugged rudely. He looked up and pouted.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Uehara Yao snorted in dissatisfaction.

Ichinose Chizuru, who was behind Sakakibara Kaede, saw Uehara Yo's face and immediately covered her mouth, "Ah... it's the bully in the class!"

Amidst the laughter, Uehara Yo let go of the boy in dismay, lowered his head and sighed, "Okay, okay, so the first impression of me by the younger generation is that of a bully. How can I impress the judges and win the leading role?"

All the actors from STARS agency were looking at him and laughing. Someone shouted, "Uehara, you've misunderstood the newcomer again." Uehara Yo did not answer, but said to the boy, "Look at my sincere eyes. Am I a yellow-haired gangster or a golden-haired handsome guy now?" Someone else shouted, "Last time I saw it, Uehara was standing outside the classroom trying to find Mr. Aoki, but the new actors thought he was a gangster looking for trouble." Uehara Yo said with wide eyes, "This is called majesty. Do you understand the value of majesty and deterrence?" Then came some difficult to understand words, like "Don't bully poor gangsters" and "Emotional acting", which made everyone laugh. The small parking lot was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Putting aside their gangster looks, Sakakibara Kaede and Chizuru Ichinose stepped forward to greet their friends.

"Everything that was supposed to happen has happened. It reminds me of the days when I auditioned for horror movies." Sakakibara Feng glanced at Kashima Yu, Sakurajima Mai, Higuchi Madoka and others, and then looked at Uehara Yo and Takeda Hiroshi who were discussing the audition topic. "It's just that the number of people this time is more than ten times that of last time."

"I think Sakakibara-senpai looks like he is sure of success." Sakakijima Mai grinned, and then said in a tone that sounded like both a reproach and a warning, "It's almost late September, and the weather isn't that hot anymore. Sakakibara-senpai, remember to put on more clothes."

"After all, Sakakibara-san doesn't want to get sick, right?" Higuchi Madoka added silently.

The two girls' eyes intertwined with each other, and then they looked at Sakakibara Kaede at the same time. The latter nodded helplessly, "I know, I know. I will put on clothes. Alas, my physique is afraid of heat but not cold."

Kashima You looked back and forth between the three people for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

"Ah, Kashima-san, this is my junior." After complaining, Sakakibara Kaede remembered Chizuru Ichinose who was standing aside. Kashima Yu debuted before him, and if counted by seniority, she is also his senior, but the relationship between them is more like buddies than senior and junior.

"I know, her name is Ichinose Chizuru, right?" Kashima Yu showed a smile that would intoxicate many girls, and held the bewildered girl's hand, "I've liked Ichinose-san since I watched the reality show. She's a hard-working person and a dreamer. Yeah, I like her very much."

It was the first time that a girl came so close to Chizuru Ichinose and hugged her hand. She immediately thought that the other person was the male lead in the daily life of high school students, and said seriously, "Kashima-senpai, um... please give me more advice."

Seeing this, Kashima Yu smiled, let go of her hand, and whistled. It seemed that he did have some playboy vibe, which was also what Sakakibara Kaede wanted to learn.

He once said in the past that if he played a role like Playboy in the future, it would be a big problem for him.

How can a poor person play a rich man? He can only play the role like a nouveau riche.

What if the Kamen Rider this time is a Playboy? How will he audition?

"Senior Sakakibara, you seem very worried?" Sakakijima Mai came to his side and asked softly.

"Human nature."

"I think Sakakibara-senpai will be perfect as long as he performs his best self."

Mai Sakurajima leaned over and straightened out Sakakibara Kaede's wrinkled clothes. She looked up at Sakakibara Kaede and said, "This is a friend's suggestion."

"Haha." The boy grinned.

Higuchi Yuanka noticed what the two were doing and she just stood there watching.
