I live my life in Tokyo

"can."

"Really?"

With her brother's support, Yuuki Asuna narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, brother!"

Koichiro Yuki smiled. Everyone could see how good his sister was. Playing games for a while would not prevent her from getting admitted to the University of Tokyo.

"Do you want to use my account, or should I switch to an account created by Yuuki-kun?"

"I'll play Sakakibara-senpai's warrior first, and then decide what profession I want to choose."

Asuna Yuuki stretched, turned her wrist, and took the boy's place in front of the computer. Her eyes became serious and she controlled the Minotaur to walk towards the wooden stake.

Looking at his clone in another world being controlled by his junior schoolmate, Sakakibara Kaede always felt a faint sense of regret in his heart. I'm sorry, Minotaur warrior, I still can't maintain your purity in the end.

After trying out the warrior's skills, Yuuki Asuna had some grasp of the overall operation. After launching the Harekaze Minotaur account, she began to create her own account.

ID: Asuna.

Race, human race.

She had long chestnut hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing the white, game-original clothing.

Her mouse paused for a moment in front of the career column.

Occupation: rapier user.

Chapter 28: Do you like it?

The phone vibrated. Sakakibara Kaede put down the manuscript temporarily, took out the phone and saw that it was a notification from Line.

It was a screenshot of Yuuki Asuna. She sent a screenshot of a female swordsman to the online game group. After the slightly awkward meeting that day, the two did not continue to bring up this topic verbally, and they would no longer feel awkward when they met.

Mitt: "Aaaah, I'm so jealous. Asuna, you got a closed beta account."

Qingfeng: "Is it impossible to apply for a closed beta test account now?"

Mitt: "Uncle Harukaze, the registration for the closed beta test has closed."

Kaede Sakakibara thought it was no big problem for Yuuki Asuna to ask her brother for an account in the company for MIT's closed beta test.

Mitt: "By the way, Yuuki, you haven't been online very often recently."

Harekaze: “I played a game of racing with Yuuki last night.”

The three chatted for a while, and Yuki's profile picture, which had always been black and white, returned to color. He typed out a line of words, "Sorry, sorry, I've been a little busy lately."

"It's okay. Let's play Sword Art Online together when it's open for public testing." Mitte typed very quickly, and one could tell she was excited. "Ahhh, a new generation of MMORPG. God knows how much time I'll spend on it."

"Mitt..."

Asuna Yuuki originally wanted to give them some advice as a friend, but then she thought about the fact that they had all graduated when Sword Art Online was released, so wouldn’t they still be having fun in college?

Koichiro Yuuki is ready to move out, and Asuna Yuuki has also made plans to rent a house on her own in order to exercise her independence.

Yuuki: "Haha, I will definitely go online if I have the chance."

"See you!"

Through the screen, I seemed to see Yuuki smiling and waving goodbye to them. The boy smiled, and Yuuki Asuna added, "Um, Harukaze... Keep going!"

"Come on? What do you mean by come on? Asuna, are you hiding something from me?" Mitt sensitively noticed that there was something strange in his friend's tone. It was as if he knew who Uncle Harukaze was and what he was going to do.

"Thank you, I am also moisturized."

After keeping Mitt's appetite whetted, Sakakibara Kaede quickly logged off, leaving Yuuki Asuna and her friends to continue explaining.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Sakakibara Kaede handed the phone to the staff member beside him, put on a coat that belonged to Godai-kun, and stepped into the kindergarten.

Not long after he entered the kindergarten, he was surrounded by laughing children, both boys and girls, who gathered around Sakakibara Kaede with innocent and carefree smiles on their faces.

For a moment, Sakakibara Kaede envied these children who had no worries and were extremely excited when they heard about the arrival of Kamen Rider.

He had thought about it before and had been kept awake at night by this question.

If he was born as a baby in this family, would he be able to change the impending misfortune? Would the father of the body owner still ignore the young man Sakakibara Kaede?

He didn't want to erase the existence of the teenager named Sakakibara Kaede who once lived. He just thought that it would be great if he could change the past so that everyone could be happy.

"Oh, long time no see, you got your hair cut!"

Yu Kashima smiled and nodded slightly to Kaede Sakakibara. Her face looked extremely gentle, thanks to the ladies in the makeup team, making Yu Kashima full of feminine charm at this moment.

He had practiced juggling at home. After all, it was a skill that Godai-kun was proud of and used to amuse children. He had not used it since the first episode was broadcast. Now it was not difficult for him to use it again. It was just a matter of practice and muscle memory.

Yu Kashima plays the role of Yusuke Godai's younger sister in the play, and is a kindergarten teacher.

During this period, she has been working hard silently. Although her personality and appearance make her the prince charming in the eyes of girls, as an actor she does not want to play the same role. This can be seen from the tenderness and joy in her eyes.

After class, the children gathered around Yu Kashima, calling her "sister" and "teacher" one after another. Sakakibara Kaede knew that she had put in a lot of effort during this period.

The love and tenderness for children in her eyes can be seen overflowing, and this feeling is definitely not false.

The camera moves as the two leave the classroom and stroll down the corridor.

Kashima Yu wrapped her denim jacket tightly around her body, seeming to feel a little cold. She smiled at Sakakibara Kaede and said, "A lot of things happened in Nagano."

Sakakibara Feng hummed and nodded in agreement with Kashima Yuu's words, "I think there will be a lot more things to come."

“In Nagano.”

There was silence between them for a long while. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between siblings. Sakakibara Kaede didn't know because he didn't have any brothers or sisters, but he knew that if there were people in the world who could be trusted besides parents, they would definitely be brothers and sisters.

Of course, he could also cite many examples of rebates, such as the countless examples of brothers’ discord.

It’s just that he likes to look at the world with a kind eye, especially when it comes to emotional matters, such as family, friendship, love, etc. . . which are the most beautiful things in the world.

This is also why people like to watch lively youth campus dramas, and also like to watch love at first sight love comedies after the rain. People always yearn for the moment when emotions burst out, put themselves into that role, and feel and lick that beauty.

Sakakibara Kaede didn't know whether his imitation was realistic or not, but since the director didn't call out NG, he continued acting.

Kashima Yu stood still, smiled sweetly and said, "If my brother decides, it won't be wrong!"

Encouraged, Sakakibara Kaede was stunned for a moment, his voice filled with an undisguised smile and surprise, "Really?"

The next sentence, encouragement immediately turned into a sister's advice to her brother.

"But you have to change your clothes every day, brother!"

In an instant, the mother was possessed, and the image of a sister who was worried about her brother appeared on the screen.

"I'm leaving."

After taking a few steps, he turned around and gave a thumbs up to his sister who was waiting there and watching him from behind.

Yu Kashima also gave a thumbs up, which was her encouragement to her brother.

"CUT!"

This scene ended perfectly.

His filming assignment this week was much easier. Compared to Nobuto Katsurayama who was meeting with the bosses in different police stations in Nagano Prefecture, Kaede Sakakibara only needed to climb a wall in the afternoon and fight a monster at night.

The crew is already considering having him complete the subsequent individual filming on his own, so it would be a good thing if he could complete the task sooner rather than later.

Seeing that there were no problems with the filming, Yu Kashima said hello to Kaede Sakakibara and left quickly. She had other filming tasks in the afternoon. The role of Yusuke Godai's sister did not take up much of her time, and naturally she did not need to follow the crew to the location. It was not impossible for her to take time out in the afternoon to participate in other scripts.

After discussing with the crew, Kaede Sakakibara prepared to continue filming the next scene today. The destination was where his home was, Bunkyo District.

-

"It feels like Kashima-san has evolved."

In the afternoon coffee shop, looking out the window of the coffee shop, you can see the crowd gathered not far away.

Mai Sakurajima took a small bite of the cake and spoke softly.

She was watching the first scene as a member of the crew behind the scenes. Senior Sakakibara was the same as always, maintaining the role of Godai Yusuke at all times, and was still so outstanding. But she was impressed by Yu Kashima. Before, Yu Kashima could only play handsome female or male roles. Unexpectedly, during the filming of Kamen Rider, she seemed to have transformed and her acting skills became more flexible.

"Isn't this a good thing for Kashima-san?"

Higuchi Yuanxiang said softly, she raised her purple eyes and looked at the crowd in the distance who were trying hard to stir up the crowd. The filming of the male lead of Kamen Rider was going on there, so it was normal to attract a crowd of onlookers.

At the request of the staff, they have retreated to a place where the camera cannot capture them. If you get closer, you can see that although these fans look excited, none of them are making loud noises.

They didn't want to affect the filming and were content to just look at it from a distance.

"Yes." Sakurajima Mai nodded.

She leaned back on the sofa and whispered, "Hey, Yuanxiang-chan, what do you think of Sakakibara-senpai?"

Higuchi Yuanxiang felt a little strange about this question. She pursed her lips and said, "Senior, colleague, friend."

"anything else?"

Sakurajima Mai's eyes made Higuchi Madoka feel a little embarrassed for the first time. She was now forced into a dead end. For Higuchi Madoka, she disdain to tell any lies, but she currently didn't know what she thought of the young man with black hair, blue eyes, and the constant smile.

She frowned, "I'm used to having him around."

Mai Sakurajima heard the answer, which was not much different from what she had predicted in her mind.

"I'm also used to having Sakakibara-senpai around."

Mai Sakurajima looked at the crowd, as if she could see through the crowd the male actor who was playing a role seriously in front of the camera.

"Sakurajima-san..."

The two women sipped their drinks for a while without saying anything.

The waiter took away the dessert plates for them. Sakurajima Mai took the menu and ordered a mousse cake. Feeling the look in Higuchi Madoka's eyes, she explained, "I didn't have lunch today, so I'm a little hungry. I want some calories."

Higuchi Madoka hummed.

She took another sip of her drink, "Sakurajima-san, do you... like Sakakibara-san?"

Before, she had only seen the word "like" when reading famous novels. She had never experienced it herself. More or less because of her personality, no one had ever liked her, and no one had ever entered her field of vision.

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, sometimes when I heard the word "like", I would feel an inexplicable throbbing in my heart.

She didn't know what kind of feeling this was. Maybe it was just puberty coming back again?

"like."

Sakurajima Mai said it as calmly as if she was eating or drinking water. She didn't smile. Her eyes were serious as she looked straight at the glass, as if she was staring at something far away.

Higuchi Madoka pursed her lips.

"Sakakibara-senpai has always been so gentle. Many people admire him, but he doesn't know how to appreciate himself." Sakakijima Mai said softly, "Sometimes, I always feel that he is deliberately keeping a distance from us, from everyone."

"Higuchi-san, his private Twitter handle used to be—"

She took a pen and paper and wrote the symbol that Higuchi Madoka was very familiar with on the paper.

"...Not belonging."

Higuchi Madoka naturally recognized it, and Sakakibara Kaede told her all about it as her teacher.

"Yes, he doesn't belong." Sakurajima Mai finally smiled, but her smile was very shallow, with a hint of confusion, "I don't know where he doesn't belong. Is it because he misses Chiba and doesn't belong to Tokyo, or does he think that being an actor is too difficult and doesn't belong to this circle of actors?"

"I do not know."

"That kind of distance is something I can't get. I even feel that if I get close to him, he will consciously give me a distance that makes me feel at ease."

Mai Sakurajima said softly.

"Yuuka-chan, thank you for your answer." The girl turned to Higuchi Yuuka, who was sipping a drink and frowning, thinking about something. "I hope you can tell me the answer to this question next time."

"...After I tell you, what are you going to do, Sakurajima-san?"

"I don't know either, but I want to confirm Yuanxiang-chan's feelings."

Sakurajima Mai smiled faintly, "Perhaps, what I can't do in this regard, Yuanxiang-chan can do."

Higuchi Yuanxiang bit her straw and was embarrassed as she was talking seriously with her colleagues and friends of the same age about a field she had never paid attention to, and her toes were curled up in her boots.

"Well, before, when I was with Ichinose-san, I could always feel her eyes lingering on Sakakibara-senpai. Does Yuanxiang-chan know anything?" The topic was cleverly changed, but the theme remained the same.

Higuchi Madoka suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind and recalled the daily interactions between Chizuru Ichinose and Sakakibara-san.

"Ichinose-san is somewhat dependent on Sakakibara-san."

Mai Sakurajima blinked when she got the answer. She was not surprised. Senior Sakakibara was just like the protagonist Yusuke Godai in the Kamen Rider drama. He was sunny and always had a smile on his face. He always wanted to help others and dreamed of making some changes to the world with his acting skills.

Such a person, whether male or female, can attract people's attention and make them involuntarily approach him and become his friend or partner.
