I live my life in Tokyo

"Oh, by the way, Miss Nanakusa from the music section seems to have something to talk to you about." Aoyama Hiro said to Sakakibara Kaede, "Miss Nanakusa seemed to want to call you when the meeting ended just now, but because it was a holiday, she didn't bother you."

"I think Ms. Nanakusa should contact me because I have another shoot next Monday."

Sakakibara Kaede hummed, then he stood up and gave an apologetic look to Higuchi Madoka and Ichinose Chizuru beside him, "Sorry, I'll be back soon."

"Ah."

After closing the classroom doors to leave the space for teachers and students, Kaede Sakakibara pressed the elevator button and went directly to the fifth floor.

Miss Nanakusa and Kei Iida are at two extremes. One strictly abides by the agent's bottom line and knows how hard he works on filming, so she won't call to bother him on weekends.

On the other hand, the Grand Tutor still treated him like a beast of burden on his days off, and his Fang Tian Hua Ji was already thirsty for energy.

"Ms. Nanakusa."

Sakakibara Feng came to the desk and saw Nanakusa Hazuki had light dark circles under her eyes. Although she used makeup to cover it up, it still couldn't hide her tired look. She was about to put on an eye mask, as if she was preparing to catch up on some sleep on Saturday afternoon with the heater on.

"Ah... Sorry, Miss Nanakusa, do you want to rest? Why don't you come back in the afternoon?"

"Sakakibara-kun, ah, Sakakibara-kun saw something bad happen to me."

Miss Nanakusa laughed in a troubled tone, her voice soft and gentle, "It just so happens that I have something to do with Sakakibara-kun, and I didn't intend to bother you on my day off. It's really great that you came to the office today."

Sakakibara Kaede sat down and said, "Ms. Nanakusa, please tell me what's the matter. I don't want to disturb your rest."

Nanakusa Hazuki smiled and put her hands together, "First of all, congratulations to Sakakibara-kun's band World Shining for winning the first place on the Japanese Billboard chart!"

Billboard Japan, or Japanese Billboard, uses the "week" as the statistical basis, and updates the charts of the previous week on the official website every Wednesday, Japan Standard Time. It is the best place to know the hot songs and good songs.

"First place?"

"Ah, Sakakibara-kun didn't pay attention to this?" Nanakusa Hazuki looked a little surprised, but still explained herself, "Well, Sakakibara-kun is filming a TV series, so he must be too busy to pay attention to the music charts."

Sakakibara Kaede felt a little ashamed. Yuuma Miura and Maki Nishikino knew how busy he was, and they hadn't spoken in the group these days. They were busy with their own things.

"Sakakibara-kun, your new song Whenever you are has reached the first place, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"Secondly, the agency has decided to open a band account for you on a video website. At the same time, you also have the task of shooting a music video." Miss Nanakusa Hazuki flipped through the schedule. "Of course, Sakakibara-kun is a bit too busy at the moment, so the schedule has been postponed to February next year."

"By the way, when are you going to release your second album, Sakakibara-kun?"

As Sakakibara Kaede's agent, Nanakusa Hazuki closed her schedule and asked.

"It still depends on the time... If nothing unexpected happens, the recording should be finished in February or March next year."

"If the recording is finished in February or March, then releasing the new album in April won't be a problem." Nanakusa Hazuki added, "By the way, your first album Sheen is still in short supply."

Sakakibara Kaede felt a little happy, but also a little ashamed. However, since two albums were released, holding a concert... shouldn't be a problem, right?

When he asked Miss Nanakusa about the concert, the answer he got was that the top management of STARS already regarded them as a well-known band in the agency and resources would definitely be given to them. Now it depends on when they plan to execute it.

After getting this answer, Sakakibara Kaede said goodbye to Nanakusa Hazuki with satisfaction. She waved her hand softly, put on a blindfold, lay on the table and quickly fell asleep.

This good news is indeed suitable to be told to Yuuma Miura at the concert, which will be attended by tens of thousands of people.

Thinking of the cheers of fans, Sakakibara Kaede seemed to have goose bumps all over his body. Although he did not have the obsession in his heart like Yuuma Miura, he did yearn for concerts very much. It was most appropriate to convey what was in his heart to the audience through lyrics.

He paused, then quickly walked down the stairs.

Chapter 26: The one who seals the corruption?

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Qingshan."

Chizuru Ichinose bent down exaggeratedly and saluted Aoyama Hiroshi.

The same is true for Higuchi Madoka. While Aoyama Hiroshi was guiding Chizuru Ichinose, she also benefited a lot and learned some things that will help her performance in future dramas.

Teacher Ishida once talked to her alone about the significance of the character of Nana Asahina to Yusuke Godai and others. She was chasing after Yusuke Godai like a little sun.

Although she didn't know who Yusuke Godai would choose in the end, she thought that this was a special effects drama and there shouldn't be such a bloody plot.

If this were real, who would someone like Yusuke Godai choose?

Is it the one who silently accompanies him, or the younger generation who always yearns for him?

Higuchi Madoka pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty for thinking this way. She looked at Ichinose Chizuru, who was in a good mood, humming a little tune and organizing the notes she had just taken.

"Higuchi-senpai, thank you so much for today." Ichinose Chizuru thanked sincerely, she pursed her lips, "Higuchi-senpai, is it convenient for me to go next? I would like to invite Higuchi-senpai to have a small cake as a thank you to you."

"No need to bother."

Higuchi Madoka shook her head and declined. This scene was a bit like the invitation from the juniors to the seniors in TV dramas. Higuchi Madoka thought that she was not suitable to be the girl admired by the juniors.

"It's very close to the office. It only takes five minutes to get there."

Ichinose Chizuru clasped her hands together and requested.

Higuchi Madoka originally wanted to sigh blatantly so that Chizuru Ichinose would give up, but she thought that this was just an attitude she would show in front of Kaede Sakakibara, and the feeling of disappointment made her frown again.

"Row."

Seeing that her senior had accepted her invitation, Chizuru Ichinose smiled brightly. She quickly organized her notes, put the book into her backpack, and prepared to watch it carefully tonight.

Higuchi Madoka didn't go out for dim sum with people who weren't her childhood sweetheart very often. The first few times were with colleagues she met on the set, and then with Sakurajima Mai. This kind of socializing made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she still found the rhythm that suited her best.

The two entered a shopping mall nearby and took the escalator into the cake shop.

After placing the order, the two sat by the window, looking at Tokyo in the sunshine, speechless for a while.

Higuchi Madoka blinked her eyes. If it was Sakakibara Kaede sitting opposite her, she would probably be smiling and chatting about some interesting, but sometimes boring topics that interested her. She could also give the other person a cold look or a few sarcastic remarks at any time, just like when she was with Asakura Toru.

Chizuru Ichinose did not force herself to find a topic, or rather, she was trying to become the original her as described by Higuchi Madoka.

Is she really a junior character in her daily life? It's hard to say, because whether on the set or in the agency, she has the indelible label of a junior.

If she loses the label of a junior, what will she be? Ichinose Chizuru couldn't help but ponder, if she is not a junior, what will happen to her relationship with Sakurajima-senpai, Sakakibara-senpai, and Higuchi-senpai?

Perhaps, it is to become myself named Chizuru Ichinose, say what I want to say, say directly the things in my heart that I was originally too shy to say, and express myself bravely in front of them. . .

"Thank you, Senior Higuchi." Chizuru Ichinose bowed her head and thanked him, with a faint confident smile on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Higuchi Yuanxiang smiled as if ice and snow were melting.

Then, they started eating the cake.

As for taking selfies and posting them on official accounts, that’s another matter.

Unlike the two girls who went out to eat cakes and snacks, Sakakibara Kaede, after receiving the photos sent by Chizuru Ichinose and the reluctant face of Higuchi Madoka, chose to have a sumptuous lunch in the office. It was delicious after not having eaten for a long time.

Since he was called out in the morning, it was Kaede Sakakibara's principle to finish the work while at it, so he made a special appointment with someone for dinner and met in the afternoon.

Wrapping up his coat and saying goodbye to the actors he met, Sakakibara took the train to Ginza. Looking at the Christmas decorations that were ready to be hung around him, he blew a breath into his palms... Before he knew it, Christmas was coming, that season.

He and his friends had a very happy Christmas last year, and this year will probably be the same. However, Sakakibara Kaede wants to rent a place outside to have a lively party. After a year, he and his friends have grown a lot and are moving forward.

Sakakibara Kaede thought this was a good thing.

Another thing that came to his mind was the upcoming school festival at Sobu High School. He had promised and vowed to go see his teacher, but he might be absent this time because of the filming.

If we can progress quickly and finish filming ahead of schedule, it would not be impossible for me to make time on Friday to go back to my alma mater.

Blowing a breath into his palm again, Sakakibara Kaede walked into the RECT company building that he had been to once before, swiped his mobile phone at the access control system, and took the elevator to the software engineering department.

Even on weekends, there are still people working in the company. Looking at them, Sakakibara Kaede can't help but think of his past self.

It's inevitable that people will go crazy at work, they're just holding on.

As an outsourced worker, Sakakibara communicated with most people in the software development department through emails, but had never had a face-to-face conversation, which saved them time for the current conversation. After showing his tag, Sakakibara walked deeper into the studio.

I knocked on the door of Koichiro Yuki's office. His office was made of frosted glass, so it was very private.

"come in."

Sakakibara Kaede curled his lips and said, "Well, a higher-ranking official can crush people. What's more, RECT is a company owned by the Yuki family. It's not shameful for him to work for the eldest son of the Yuki family."

After pushing open the door, he put the drinks he brought aside and found that there was another person in the room besides Koichiro Yuki who was typing on the computer.

"Yuuki-scholar?"

"Ah! It's Godai-kun."

Sakakibara Kaede immediately got into the role. The chestnut-haired female character who was sitting on the chair and squinting at him was who in the script?

Koichiro Yuki coughed unhappily and said, "Can't you see that I'm such a grown-up sitting here? Say hello to my sister first, right?"

"Ahem, Yuuki-senpai, good afternoon." Sakakibara Kaede smiled and handed over a cup of packaged coffee. Seeing Yuuki Asuna there, he handed the coffee that was originally prepared for himself to the girl.

"Ah, Sakakibara-senpai, you bought this yourself, how can you be so embarrassed?"

"It's okay, I already had coffee on the way here."

Sakakibara Kaede stuffed the coffee into her outstretched hand. Seeing Sakakibara Kaede doing this, Yuuki Asuna had no choice but to accept it. She felt the hand holding the pen quickly warm up when it touched the warm coffee, and she felt very comfortable.

"Why is Yuuki-sensei here?"

"Ah, my father and mother are entertaining guests at home, and I felt that it would disturb them if I stayed at home, so my brother and I came out to take shelter." Yuuki Asuna laughed in a gentle voice, and her every move was full of the demeanor of an orthodox young lady.

"I've been working in the company since early morning, but I haven't seen you show any concern for me, Junior Brother Sakakibara?" Seeing this, Koichiro Yuki spoke in a low voice, using Snape's tone.

Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede was helpless. You are a grown man... and you still want to compete with your sister, right?

"Thank you for your hard work, Yuuki-senpai."

"That's pretty much it."

Yuuki Asuna clasped her hands together in front of her face, "Sakakibara-senpai has now become the idol of all the students in our class."

"So exaggerated?" Sakakibara Feng was stunned. He seemed to have underestimated his influence among high school students.

"Yes, Sakakibara-senpai has gained countless fans in our class who don't watch TV dramas because of his music albums. After following Sakakibara-senpai, many people re-watched the TV dramas he had filmed before, and they were all amazed by his acting skills."

"Although I had never watched Kamen Rider before, I watched it with my friend after he recommended it to me. Because the main character is Sakakibara-senpai, I thought... with Sakakibara-senpai as the main character, it will definitely be a big hit."

Sakakibara Kaede felt warm in her heart after hearing this. Yuuki Asuna is such a good person.

She is considerate, sweet-mouthed and has high emotional intelligence. Wow, Koichiro Yuki is so lucky to have such a sensible sister.

"I feel like your eyes are a little rude." Yuki Koichiro asked coldly.

"It's just your illusion."

After the chat, Yuuki Asuna started to do her homework. She was preparing for the Tokyo University entrance exam alone this year. Although she was a top student, she was prepared for the worst, so she kept doing the question types.

Kaede Sakakibara believed that Mai Sakurajima who was in Chiba at this time was also doing exercises.

He came behind Koichiro Yuuki and turned his gaze towards Sword Art Online.

The picture was neither exquisite nor simple, and the modeling of the objects made him feel familiar. It was equipped with textures, which could reduce the modeling capacity.

The skill effects have also increased a lot, at least the light effects are very stylish.

According to Koichiro Yuki, their current focus is on the rotation between skills and the creation and addition of ability skills. Kaede Sakakibara has no experience in this, and the same is true for Koichiro Yuki. He knew nothing about this in college.

This can only be asked to the designer who studied game design in university. Fortunately, the design department under Koichiro Yuki has been working non-stop this week and is expected to complete the re-setting of skills for all professions within this month.

"By the way, this is your closed beta account."

Koichiro Yuki handed a card to Kaede Sakakibara with an account number and a string of numbers on it.

Sakakibara Kaede smiled bitterly, "Senior Yui, I also need time to play. This is a rare time for me to return to Tokyo. You know, I usually use my phone to shoot. Every time I arrive at the guesthouse, I just want to lie on the bed and don't want to move. I don't even have the energy to take a hot spring bath."

Yuuki Koichiro frowned slightly, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think. The account I gave you is already level 20, and the equipment it wears is also the best level 20."

"You now have the support of the game producer Game Master. Are you sure you don't want to play Sword Art Online?" Yuuki Koichiro frowned and said, "Do you understand the value of GM authority?"

"This is not a closed beta tester... This is a cheater, he is a closed beta tester."

Sakakibara Feng tilted his mouth and said, "When I have time, I will go online and play."

"Okay. Use my computer."

Koichiro Yuki made way, and Kaede Sakakibara glanced at the window he had just minimized. Koichiro Yuki was indeed a gentleman, as he had been modifying the code just now.

If it was Kaede Sakakibara's computer, a green-haired girl might pop up and shout "Dog repairing the well, dog repairing the well."

He loaded the account and password on the card and officially started his second adventure in Sword Art Online.

His ID was chosen randomly, but it’s not a name like test that makes it obvious that it’s an official account.

Kaede Sakakibara's race is still Tauren, and his profession is still a warrior.

As soon as he came online, the people jumping around him immediately attracted his attention. He found that there were many AFK players standing around the main city where he was born, and some people were shouting something in the main city using the loudspeaker function.
