I live my life in Tokyo

The topic between the two was probably the same as before, but now it was much more relaxed. Chizuru Ichinose was asking which house was better in the neighborhood, and the one closer to the supermarket and the station was the best. Although the grandmother said that she was in good health and had nimble legs and feet, Chizuru Ichinose still wanted to provide a more comfortable living environment for her.

Sakurajima Mai found Higuchi Madoka silently drinking a drink in front of the window. She was watching her childhood friends fooling around in the distance.

"Yuanxiang-chan, happy Christmas Eve."

"Sakurajima-san too, happy Christmas Eve."

"Well, Yuanxiang-chan could just call me Mai-san."

Higuchi Madoka took a sip of her drink, and she glanced at Sakurajima Mai indifferently, seeing sincerity in her eyes.

But she didn't change her name.

"What's going on, Sakurajima-san?"

"Sakakibara-senpai just went to see Ichinose-san off."

Higuchi Madoka raised her eyelids.

"..."

"Do you think she likes Sakakibara-senpai?"

"Ah."

Chapter 35: All CP Party

"Sakurako-chan, thank you for your help again... Oh, the new supermarket nearby is having a big opening sale, I bought too much."

Kitaro speaks with a hoarse, uncle accent, and has the demeanor of an elder often seen in Japanese dramas. Actors like this don't rely on their faces to make the audience remember them, they only need to rely on their voice.

As the owner of Pole Pole Café and an old friend and senior of Yusuke Godai's father, he doesn't appear in many scenes in the drama, but in the scenes where he appears, he perfectly plays the role of what everyone calls "Dad".

Next to him, his niece Nana - Higuchi Madoka put the shopping bag on the table. Her current appearance is very different from the past.

The first impression that Higuchi Madoka gives people is coldness, which may be due to her temperament, but another reason is due to her face. Her eyes are always narrowed and she looks nonchalant and casual.

The girl's eyes opened, with a natural smile on her lips, and she frowned at Kitaro complainingly: "Instead of spending time talking about this, you might as well come and help."

The words are full of familiarity, and perhaps they can be understood as intimacy, an urging to relatives.

Sakurajima Mai, who was sorting out the ingredients, raised her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I came to help because I like it."

"But she came to help after staying up all night."

Kitaro uttered an "ah" and Higuchi Madoka's eyes shifted between the two of them.

She left her original position and quickly came to Sakurajima Mai, "Um, the so-called liking and that liking should be different."

Kiyoshi Takenaka, who was in a small dark room nearby, sighed with admiration. He had high hopes for the rivalry between Mai Sakurajima and Madoka Higuchi, and both of them responded with excellent acting skills.

They all have a good impression of Yusuke Godai. Perhaps Sakurako only has a vague good impression of Godai and treats him as a colleague or friend. However, Nana fell in love with Godai at first sight and even set up a fan club and became his number one fan.

It's so ironic, because in real life, the role setting should be completely opposite.

Higuchi Madoka laughed at herself in her heart, falling in love so quickly and in such a rush was exactly the same as what Sakakibara-san had described as love at first sight, maybe there was no need for a reason to fall in love with someone.

Mai Sakurajima is the energetic Nana Asahina who is like a little sun in real life.

She is the calm one who treats others as colleagues and friends.

There was just a hint of doubt in Sakurajima Mai's eyes, and she let out a strange "hmm".

"Ms. Sawatari is still the number two fan of the Godai Yusuke Club." Higuchi Madoka raised her finger and made a two gesture, as if she was being awkward, "Please pay proper attention."

Mai Sakurajima raised her eyebrows slightly, not sure whether she understood or not.

Takenaka Kiyoshi, who was in the small dark room, saw the two women acting jealous, and the corners of his mouth curled up ferociously. Fight, fight quickly!

“Hehehehehehe——”

He slapped his thigh, compared the expressions of the two girls, and the next moment he burst into strange laughter.

Kamen Rider covers a lot of things, and the elusive love is also something that the production team wants to convey to the audience, whether it is Nana Asahina who fell in love with Godai-kun at first sight and began to silently pursue and support him, or Sakurako Sawatari who accompanied Godai-kun for a long time and shared his burden with her abilities.

Two kinds of love, but they are the end points of two directions.

Accompany is the longest confession. Who will end up with Yusuke Godai? Kiyoshi Takenaka knew that the audience would definitely gossip about this, so he repeated the scene of Nana Asahina being jealous and Sawatari Sakurako seeming to understand the rivalry three times, but he was still not satisfied.

"CUT, this take was good, um... I feel like Sakurajima-kun and Higuchi-kun are really into this scene, do they have any secrets to getting into the role?"

Kiyoshi Takenaka closed the computer screen and left the small dark room. He was still holding the microphone. The actors who received the CUT command stood up and greeted him. He nodded one by one and went straight to Mai Sakurajima and Madoka Higuchi who were sitting in front of the bar.

The two women stood up and bowed. Sakurajima Mai pursed her lips and glanced at Higuchi Yuanxiang, smiling slightly and said, "We have been preparing for this for a long time and have sufficient experience."

"I hope you can be so devoted to other scenes." Takenaka Kiyoshi waved his hand. "Ah, this doesn't mean that your other scenes were not shot well, but your rivalry in this scene was too real, as if the jealousy was happening in real life, which made the other scenes you played not so real."

"Director Takenaka, do you need us to reshoot?" Higuchi Madoka asked politely.

Takenaka Kiyoshi scratched his head and hesitated for a while. "Take a break and shoot it again. Don't take it too seriously. It's just a clip of less than two minutes in the main film."

"Yes."

He returned to the small dark room, breathed a sigh of relief, slowly closed his eyes and took a short rest.

In the battle between Asahina Nana and Sawatari Sakurako, he stands on Asahina Nana's side.

Because in the movie he was previously responsible for, Sakakibara Kaede and Higuchi Madoka were a perfect couple, even though Higuchi Madoka regretted her life many times in the movie and cried on many videos in the end, he still believed that the character design and plot of this couple in this movie were really wonderful.

Kiyoshi Takenaka doesn't know what the screenwriter Arakawa thinks, but judging by the audience's reaction now, most of them support Sawatari Sakurako, also known as Sakurajima Mai. They think Sawatari Sakurako and Godai Yusuke are more suitable. . . Or to be more straightforward, Sakurajima Mai and Sakakibara Kaede are more suitable.

At this time, there are naturally CP fans of Higuchi Madoka and Sakakibara Kaede, but the number of this CP fan is relatively small. . . Because Higuchi Madoka is an idol, idols are generally prohibited from dating, even if the other party is a handsome guy, so the CP fans of Higuchi Madoka and Sakakibara Kaede are often attacked by Higuchi Madoka's fans.

Sometimes the war between the two sides would spread to Sakakibara's comments section, but he always maintained an attitude of not joining in and not leaving. When those fans quarreled enough, they would start a private chat war - this was only an extreme case. Generally, Japanese fans quarreled in private chats, because they usually used their main Twitter accounts. If they left comments on other people's Twitter and cursed them, wouldn't that directly reveal their true colors?

Having said that, at present, the number of fans of the CP of Mai Sakurajima and Kaede Sakakibara is still increasing, and the reason is very legitimate. Mai Sakurajima is the predecessor who brought Kaede Sakakibara into the entertainment industry.

Of course, there are also some beautiful girl fans of Sakurajima Mai x Higuchi Madoka, and the harem fans of Sakurajima Mai x Higuchi Madoka x Sakakibara Kaede, so I won’t go into details.

The script is unlikely to change because of the audience, so who Yusuke Godai will choose in the end depends on Mr. Arakawa's mood.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yuanxiang-chan. It must be tiring to play such a role."

Mai Sakurajima stood behind the bar, imitating Kaede Sakakibara's part-time job at the Starlight Café, but she didn't know how to make coffee or mix cocktails.

"What do you want to drink?"

"White water."

"Good~"

Higuchi Madoka only drinks plain water when she is working. Sakurajima Mai feels that this choice is a bit unromantic and does not fully demonstrate the value of her standing behind the bar.

She did not say anything about Higuchi Madoka's choice, because she had made the same choice before to protect her voice. She poured warm water into a glass and handed it to Higuchi Madoka, who thanked her softly and took it.

Seeing her take a sip of water, Sakurajima Mai cast her eyes on the juicer in her hand. She imitated the waiter's actions and put the fresh orange into the juicer. With a buzzing sound, the juicer started working, and the originally transparent wall of the cup was quickly stained with a layer of orange juice.

"Ah~ I can't fully focus on the rivalry later."

"...Sorry for causing trouble for Sakurajima-san."

Higuchi Madoka said softly that when she put herself in the shoes of Nana Asahina, she felt the impulsive love in her heart, as if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of Godai-kun, she would not hesitate to follow him.

At the same time, she also felt a slight jealousy towards Sawatari Sakurako in her heart.

Sawatari Sakurako had all kinds of opportunities to be with Yusuke Godai, but she didn't have any chance. The number of times Yusuke Godai came to Pole Pole Café was erratic, and the only way they could communicate was through the phone.

She knew that if she was Sawatari Sakurako in real life, then Sakurajima Mai must be Nana Asahina.

Higuchi Madoka blinked her purple eyes and looked at Sakurajima Mai, who was in a good mood and pouring juice from the juicer. The latter was laughing and asking the waiter about the next steps.

If Mai Sakurajima is Nana Asahina, then she must feel the same jealousy as the character. . . What does Mai Sakurajima think?

She calls herself Yuanxiang-chan so affectionately, so how does she see herself?

And there is Chizuru Ichinose. She treats that junior so kindly. Why does she do this when she knows that the other party has feelings for Sakakibara-san?

"Mm, the juice is really delicious. Now I want to be like Yusuke Godai and slowly move towards mastering 2,000 skills."

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice and said with a smile.

"What's wrong, Yuanxiang-chan?"

"nothing."

Higuchi Madoka sighed and drove all the random thoughts out of her mind. It was not like her to worry about gains and losses.

Mai Sakurajima's attitude was friendly but she didn't know what she really thought. Chizuru Ichinose was very dependent on her. As for her childhood friend Asakura who said Sakakibara-san was very good on Christmas Eve... She didn't even think about it.

She treated Asakura Toru's words as a casual remark.

"—— Xiangjiang, Yuanxiangjiang."

"Sorry, lost my mind."

"Yeah, let's rehearse the scene just now. I will control my eyes."

Higuchi Madoka nodded. Even this, knowing that it was the other person's problem but saying it was her own problem, was very much like Sakakibara-san.

I am the one who caused this scene to be filmed over and over again.

. . .

Kaede Sakakibara is slacking off.

Today's filming went smoothly. After Christmas, the new year is coming, and the crew is back online to start filming. Fortunately, their previous filming progress was much ahead of schedule, so the progress was not delayed even during the holiday.

At this rate, it will still be possible to give everyone a holiday in the first month of the lunar year so that the actors can go home and celebrate the New Year.

"Sakakibara-san is very good at controlling the motorcycle. Remember not to be impatient and try to be steady."

The stuntman who put on the leather suit and played the role of Kamen Rider riding a motorcycle is also well-known throughout the country. Takumi Narita, who has participated in many national competitions, pointed out that he lifted the head of the motorcycle and said, "The key to riding a motorcycle is to maintain the center of gravity of the body."

"Mr. Sakakibara, you must have seen motorcycle races. When the motorcyclists turn a corner, they lean their bodies to one side. Most of the time, their knees even touch the ground. Of course, it is very rare that they touch the ground. This action allows them to turn the corner at the fastest speed possible."

During the break, Sakakibara and Narita both filmed riding motorcycles on the road. Sakakibara took this opportunity to ask Narita for advice on motorcycle riding techniques. Narita had nothing to do and had a good impression of Sakakibara, so he told him some superficial knowledge about professional motorcyclists.

The crew on the side was very nervous. When the stonemason saw Kaede Sakakibara eagerly riding on the motorcycle, ready to do the stunt of lifting the front of the motorcycle as Takumi Narita had mentioned, his eyes immediately widened.

"Sakakibara-kun—"

Before he could utter a word, he found that Kaede Sakakibara was driving the motorcycle slowly, and the front of the motorcycle slowly rose up. He gritted his teeth, trying to control the stability of the center of gravity. Takumi Narita nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, but the staff around him broke out in cold sweat.

"What are you doing?"

The stonemason said dissatisfiedly. He glared at the two people who were making trouble. "Sakakibara-kun, if something dangerous happens, how will we be responsible?"

"And Mr. Narita, please don't lead Sakakibara astray. This action is very easy for Narita-san, but it may be dangerous for Sakakibara-san."

Narita Takumi coughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, he was not young either - but still not as old as Ishida Sensei. Sakakibara Kaede saw that Ishida Sensei's face was serious, but his words showed his concern for him, and his heart warmed. He smiled and said, "It's not Narita Sensei's fault, I asked for this because I wanted to experience the skills of a professional motorcyclist."

Upon hearing this, Takumi Narita chuckled. Sakakibara-san's conversation was refreshing. The key point was that he also listened to his motorcycle skills and learned it after just one demonstration. He was obviously a genius. He was rarely moved by the desire to appreciate talent and wanted to pass on his experience gained in the professional arena to Sakakibara Kaede.

Even if Kaede Sakakibara cannot participate in the competition, there will be one more professional motorcycle racer on the streets of Tokyo in the future, who will make the police feel helpless and unable to catch up with him. Wouldn't that be a joy?

Having made a decision in his heart, Takumi Narita planned to exchange contact information with Kaede Sakakibara after the show and keep in touch in the future.

Chapter 36: Already a Hero

When drunk, one can speak the truth, but he can also spit out his dinner.

After the filming of a song segment was completed, Kaede Sakakibara watched Takumi Narita's performance from the side and applauded and cheered for his wonderful driving skills together with the staff.

Afterwards, Sakakibara Kaede was invited by the crew to go to an izakaya, and he readily agreed without any plans.

Then the scene above happened.

The young man took a sip of the mild wine and heard the shouting of the staff who were busy in the bathroom. He looked over and saw a staff member being carried out with a red face.

Don't drink too much, don't drink to excess - Sakakibara Kaede forgot who told him this, but when it comes to drinking, he thinks of the night after adulthood when young men and women would drink with their fathers.

Use it to check your alcohol tolerance and not drink too much when you are alone.

The beer juice is a bit bitter, but after drinking a few more sips, you can feel a faint sweetness deep in the root of your tongue.

This is not about being bitter first and sweet later, but just savoring the sweetness in the bitterness in a slightly tipsy state.
