I live my life in Tokyo

It was obviously inappropriate to reminisce about the past now. Sakakibara Kaede rubbed his hands, trying to warm his cold fingers.

"Sakakibara-senpai, warm baby."

"Thank you."

Surprised by the appearance of Chizuru Ichinose, Kaede Sakakibara blinked his eyes. He didn't remember any plot about the professor's daughter here. Could it be a temporary addition to make the professor's daughter die at the hands of the bat monster?

"I have a feeling that you are thinking of something very rude, Sakakibara-senpai."

Sakakibara took the heat pack and placed it in the palm of his hand, feeling his fingers quickly warming up. He flipped through the manuscript, memorizing the key points of the movements in his mind.

"By the way, what was the result of the conversation between you and Mr. Ishida?" Sakakibara Kaede just then remembered that the scene in which she played the professor's daughter had not been fully approved, and there was a possibility of reshooting it in the next two days. Although it was only a short scene, this scene could determine the actor who would play the role of the professor's daughter in the future.

"Teacher Ishida said to see how I perform tomorrow." Ichinose Chizuru said softly, "Teacher Ishida also told me not to get too caught up in my emotions... I don't know why, or how I couldn't stop crying."

"Ichinose-san was depressed for a long time after filming this scene, and didn't feel better until the next day... This is proof that he was immersed too deeply." Sakakibara Kaede concluded, but he really didn't know how to explain his emotional acting. He would mobilize his emotions and treat each scene as a real world. The emotions were indeed very real, but after the scene, the world was shattered, and those originally real but now false emotions were like ink beads dropped into running water, and were washed away completely.

"In this regard, I would suggest that Ichinose-san consult Higuchi-san."

"Higuchi...senpai?"

"Ah, family members know their own business. When Higuchi-san and I were filming Will-O'-the-Wisp in Midsummer, she played opposite me. Her understanding of the role made me feel ashamed."

Ichinose Chizuru looked at Sakakibara Kaede cautiously and whispered, "I heard that Higuchi-senpai and Sakakibara-senpai have played many rival roles together."

Sakakibara snapped her fingers. "That's what I'm talking about. At the time, Higuchi-san was only able to portray girls who had lost their lovers and were filled with regret. Without this kind of experience, she wouldn't have been able to be so skilled, but Higuchi-san was able to accurately grasp the tricks of each character, grasp the character's mood at the time, and interpret it in her own way."

"It's so lifelike. The director at the time thought that Higuchi-san was acting in his true colors. I really admire Higuchi-san's acting skills."

"Sakakibara-senpai's acting skills impressed me..."

Ichinose Chizuru nodded and clenched her fist, "Thank you, Sakakibara-senpai. I will ask Higuchi-senpai for advice."

This young boy is teachable, Sakakibara Kaede nodded, feeling quite satisfied as a teacher.

"How's grandma doing lately?"

While the drama hasn't started yet, Sakakibara Kaede steered the topic in a more relaxed direction. Let's talk about daily life. Who doesn't have some experience?

Chizuru Ichinose suddenly had a wrong idea. This familiar tone was also the way she addressed her grandmother. Just like Kaede Sakakibara was really her grandmother's grandson, there was only one possibility for this to happen.

Her eyes suddenly rolled around and her face turned pale with her mouth open for a long time.

When Sakakibara Kaede gave her a puzzled look, she finally came back to her senses. She stammered for a long time, "Grandma recently found a few elders of the same age nearby, and now she goes to the community park to practice Tai Chi every morning."

The boy's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Grandma just got out of the hospital, and she's already going out for activities?"

"Grandma feels uncomfortable if she doesn't move for a day. When she just came back from the hospital, she did aerobics at home for a few days. Later, I couldn't stop her and went to the park with her for a walk."

"That's good."

Sakakibara Kaede was also happy to hear that Sayuri Ichinose was safe and sound.

Chizuru Ichinose's mood was like a butterfly flying among flowers. Seeing that Senior Sakakibara cared so much about his relatives, she felt warm in her heart.

On the other side, all members of the filming crew disbanded and returned to their positions with their filming equipment. Nobuto Geyama and the stonemason exchanged a few words. The latter patted the former on the shoulder. With a wry smile on his face, Nobuto Geyama turned around and gave the bat monster a few words of advice.

"here we go."

Kaede Sakakibara stood up, stood by the guardrail, and looked at the church across the street from afar.

Chizuru Ichinose followed him closely, and when she heard what was happening, she stretched her neck to look at the church. Seeing this, Kaede Sakakibara handed the tablet in his hand to the girl. The tablet was broadcasting the scenes being filmed live, and the small windows looked like a surveillance room.

Tonight there will be a fire, tonight no one will sleep.

Nobuto Katsuyama walked in the church holding a heavy air rifle. He got information from the people. He played the role of Kaoru Ichijo who could not bear to see people being killed again and again. Before the superiors took any measures, he broke into the enemy's stronghold alone.

Fortunately, this enemy is not a group of people.

Well, after all, Katsuyama Nobuto is not an unparalleled general, and it is still difficult for him to take the monster's head among thousands of soldiers.

"Sakakibara-kun."

"I see."

Sakakibara Kaede agreed, saying that he was worthy of being Nobuto Katsuyama, as he had performed the role so far without causing Ishida to shout "NG" or "Cut", proving that everything was going well now.

The price of success has come.

"I'll be back in a bit." Sakakibara glanced at Chizuru Ichinose standing in the autumn breeze, stopped walking and half turned around, "If you want to watch it on a tablet, you might as well sit in the lounge. Although the temperature there isn't very high, at least there's air conditioning and you can keep warm."

"Ah! Thank you, Sakakibara-senpai!"

Chizuru Ichinose trotted away quickly with the tablet under her shoulder.

Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede smiled and then quickly walked towards the makeup team.

His clothes and pants are similar to the last time he played Yusuke Godai. If Sakakibara Kaede had not read the setting before and done her own character analysis, she would have thought that the character of Yusuke Godai had bought a whole wardrobe of the same clothes.

The idea is to wear one coat a day, and wear this coat every day for 31 days.

"Are you ready? You will be fighting in human form in a moment." Ishida shouted "CUT" and signaled Nobuto Katsurayama to enter again. He then called Sakakibara to the side and looked at her. "The task I assigned to the bat monster is to push him into the church and hit him against the curtains."

"What awaits you is a real fire. It may be dangerous to film this scene, so I have to confirm it with you in advance, Sakakibara-kun."

"How big was the fire?"

He was not the only one filming this scene. Bat Monster and Geshan Xinren were also there, and they were both at risk of being burned by the fire.

"We expected that only the curtains would catch fire." Ishida took out a photo of the interior of the church and pointed at the set. "There is nothing else flammable here except the curtains. The church itself is made of concrete and stone, not wood."

"But you don't have to worry too much. We have fire-fighting equipment after this scene is over. Besides, there is a fire station not far away. If something uncontrollable happens, I will call them directly to put out the fire."

So only one corner was on fire? Sakakibara Feng understood immediately. This meant that as long as they didn't deliberately step into the fire and roll around, the three of them wouldn't be in too much danger.

"You will break into the house on a motorcycle in a moment. This scene will be very powerful, and I hope you can perform it perfectly."

Teacher Ishida said earnestly that as the leading actor, Kaede Sakakibara felt his expectations and the responsibility on her shoulders was undoubtedly heavy.

In order to leave no regrets, he must give it his all.

"I understand."

"Well, we have all seen your performance."

Sakakibara Kaede nodded and closed his mouth. What else could he say? Teacher Ishida had already said everything he needed to say.

Teacher Ishida gave him a thumbs up. Sakakibara Kaede was slightly stunned, grinned, and also gave him a thumbs up.

These actions by netizens may seem deliberate and even a little contrived, but they are the core of Kuuga, or the understanding of the fifth generation's characters.

It seems that seeing this thumb will make endless strength appear in the body out of nowhere, and the spirit will be inspired.

Spiritual encouragement is so inspiring.

Maybe this is what is called a hero.

Sakakibara put on a helmet and rode on a motorcycle. The scenes shot up to now flashed before his eyes. The front of Godai-kun, the sunshine of Godai-kun... It might be inappropriate to say this, but he wanted to be someone like Godai-kun.

I want to be someone who can inspire other people in the real world.

"ACTION!"

Along with the breathing of the engine, Kaede Sakakibara seemed to hear the cheers of the crew members. He stepped on the accelerator with his right hand and headed north towards the door.

boom!

Amid the smoke, a motorcycle broke through the door, bringing in fresh air that brightened the eyes of the actors fighting inside.

While in the air, Sakakibara Kaede could no longer control the posture of lifting the front of the motorcycle. After touching the ground, he rolled awkwardly on the ground. The motorcycle flowed along an arc and hit the seat used for prayers in the church.

The next moment, sparks flew, and the fireworks that the props team had installed on the motorcycle in advance exploded when they encountered fire.

"Mr. Policeman!"

Kaede Sakakibara took off his coat and hurried forward to try to put out the fire on Nobuto Katsuyama. He waved his clothes in panic, trying to put out the fire.

It was hard to see clearly in the smoke, but Sakakibara Kaede seemed to notice that Katsuyama Nobuto was wearing a fire-proof top painted black under his coat, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

Could it be that the fire on Geshan Xinren was not an accident, but was intentional?

"What are you doing here!" Katsuyama Nobuto grabbed Sakakibara Kaede's shirt, and the latter dragged him backwards with force. In a panic, Sakakibara Kaede was pulled to the ground by him.

"!"

The bat monster let out a strange scream, suddenly jumped out from behind the fire and grabbed the two people.

Nobuto Katsurayama kicked his legs hard, and Kaede Sakakibara rolled over in sync with his mind, avoiding the attack of the bat monster.

He struggled to get up. There was still some blood on the bat monster's mouthparts, which made him tremble. "...I want to fight!"

"Still doing this kind of thing!"

"I don't want to see anyone cry."

Kaede Sakakibara ducked to avoid the bat monster's attack, exchanged positions with the bat monster, and rushed forward to face him.

The difference in strength between the two was not a little bit. Sakakibara Kaede was unable to shake the Bat Monster for a while. The two wrestled with each other for a while. The Bat Monster was stronger and was thrown to the ground by Sakakibara Kaede.

The broken wood pieces hit the top of his head, and Sakakibara Kaede saw stars and felt a warmth in the upper right side of his head.

His head was a little dizzy, but it didn't matter, it was all a minor problem. Sakakibara Kaede reacted instantly and realized that his injury was not a big deal. So much preparation had been made for this scene. If the scene had to be paused and reshot because of his minor injury, it might take more than a day to prepare again.

Thinking of this, he raised his head.

When Nobuto Katsurayama saw the blood flowing from the side of Kaede Sakakibara's head, his heart skipped a beat. This was not acting, but Kaede Sakakibara was really injured.

Before he could say anything to the filming crew nearby, Sakakibara Kaede's battle cry made him swallow the words.

"——I want to make everyone smile!"

Sakakibara Kaede stood up and shouted hoarsely: "My transformation!"

In the firelight, the young man's face flickered.

His blue eyes were looking straight ahead firmly, causing the bat monster who was stared at by him to get goose bumps all over his body. The conviction in those eyes was frightening.

Raise your arms and slowly point them to the side.

Chapter 23: One Punch to Win

Punch after punch landed on the Bat Monster's body. The latter was knocked back repeatedly and was unable to fight back for a while.

Every punch he threw showed his belief, the firm belief that he didn't want anyone to shed tears, and it shone with dazzling brilliance under the firelight.

After throwing the last punch, Batman couldn't help but retreat again.

"CUT!"

With the feeling of the final decision, Sakakibara Kaede's body shook a little. Katsuyama Nobuto rolled over and got up from the ground, then hurried forward to check Sakakibara Kaede's injuries.

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal, there's no damage to any vital parts, just a little skin broken."

Sakakibara Kaede pointed to the upper part of the head. The blood did not spurt out directly as exaggeratedly as in the anime, but there were indeed bloodstains on the face, not too much or too little, and the amount of blood was not exaggerated or frivolous.

"Look, it's all scabby."

Kaede Sakakibara took the towel from the flustered staff and wiped his face. He quickly left the scene under the latter's command. The Kamen Rider stuntman passed by him and the two punched each other.

Although I have never seen who the stuntman of Kamen Rider is, it feels good to not know his true face.

Nobuto Geyama wanted to say something, but he knew that now was obviously not a good time to speak. Moreover, the flames in the background were still burning. Now was the time to take advantage of this opportunity to finish filming the remaining scene.

"ACTION!"

The actors on the stage continued to perform faithfully. Sakakibara Kaede was helped by the staff to sit down in the rest area. Teacher Ishida nodded at him not far away and continued to look at the several scenes being filmed.

As a member of the production team, the stonemason was very busy at this time. Even if Kaede Sakakibara was injured, he would not stop the work at hand. This was official business. The one who came to express condolences on his behalf was Kiyoshi Takenaka.

Sakakibara Kaede raised her head and saw Chizuru Ichinose standing behind Kiyoshi Takenaka with an anxious look on her face.

The girl took a few steps forward and got very close to the boy's forehead. At this distance, Sakakibara Kaede could only see the winter sweater she was wearing. To be honest, this angle was a bit impolite.

Chizuru Ichinose stared for a while and finally had to make way for the medical staff who arrived. They moved quickly, opened the medicine box, took out alcohol cotton, and began to skillfully treat Sakakibara Kaede's wound.

"Sakakibara-kun, are you okay?"

At this time, Takenaka Kiyoshi sat next to Sakakibara Kaede. He glanced at Ichinose Chizuru intentionally or unintentionally, "Sakakibara-kun, you should take a rest first. There will be no part for you in the plot later. Or do you want to go back to the B&B to rest first, Sakakibara-kun?"

“I want to sit here and watch it till the end.”

Takenaka Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't continue to persuade him.

At first, Sakakibara Kaede felt some pain in his forehead, but then he felt a cool sensation behind it. After applying the ointment, the pain in his forehead went away.
