I live my life in Tokyo

He didn't want his sister to go through that again. In the eyes of her brother, there was nothing wrong with his sister, but their mother always found fault with her.

Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

Of course, in order to move out, Yuki Koichiro pulled in reinforcements, namely Yuki Shozo... Now the couple began to disagree over the child, and verbal arguments still could not convince each other.

Shozo Yuki has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards his children. To him, his son and daughter are good enough, and they are free to do whatever they want next.

Kyoko Yuuki is different. In her eyes, Koichiro Yuuki and Asuna Yuuki are still children who need to continue to grow under her wings.

No one can convince anyone.

The three of them walked into the basement carrying their suitcases, where they had to swipe their cards to enter. In the afternoon, the property management of the tower had already arranged the furniture of the moving company for Kaede Sakakibara. The specific location of the furniture still needed to be re-planned, but all the boxes, big and small, had been put into the room.

"Wow--"

It was the first time for Kaede Sakakibara to enter such a high-end residential building. He had heard about the luxury of the tower a long time ago, but it was the first time for him to see it with his own eyes. There are spas and sky lounges, gyms, libraries and other shared facilities. The counter is a hotel-style service, private cars are shared, and there are regular buses to Shinbashi Station to serve residents.

Living here is like living in a mini community.

The young man couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Yuuki Koichiro and Yuuki Asuna looked calm. Compared with these young masters and young ladies, he looked like a country boy coming to the city for the first time.

The room that Kaede Sakakibara rented was on the 50th floor of the East Building, a three-bedroom, one-living room room facing the sun.

The corridor was paved with thick carpet, which made walking on it feel comfortable and perfectly drowned out the sound of footsteps, giving me an instant feeling of staying in a hotel.

When she opened the door with the key, what came into view was the floor-to-ceiling window that Kaede Sakakibara had always dreamed of. Outside the window, she could see the Tokyo Skytree and the blue Tokyo Bay.

I am so touched that I can rent a house like this.

There were boxes piled up in a corner of the living room, most of which contained bedroom items for young people. He put Yuuki Asuna's bag on the shoe cabinet beside him and said, "Senior Yuuki, Junior Yuuki, which room do you want? Go pick it out first."

"Let Sakakibara-senpai choose first." Yuuki Asuna is very sensible. She knows that the two siblings can move in thanks to Sakakibara Kaede, so they cannot shamelessly treat this place as their own home.

The three of them put down their luggage and entered the room to explore. There was an open kitchen, a large living room, a bathroom and bathing center, and three bedrooms.

Sakakibara Kaede pointed to the innermost bedroom and said, "Yuuki-kun, you should choose this one. You need to study in your senior year. The lighting here is also good. There is a balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window."

"I just need to stay close to the door. It's not a big ask." Koichiro Yuki shrugged.

They came to the last bedroom on the right, and what came into view was the same configuration of floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony doors. Koichiro Yuki took a breath and hurriedly took a few steps forward and pushed open the balcony door.

From here, you only need to walk a few steps to reach Yuuki Asuna's bedroom balcony! There is nothing in the way!

This layout is very common in apartments, where the two bedrooms usually share a long balcony.

"Sakakibara-san... have you been waiting for this moment?"

At this moment, the science guy's face looked a little grim, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but throb wildly.

"What? Oh, you mean the lighting, right?" Sakakibara walked in, looked around the room, and nodded. "The lighting is indeed good. I can put my computer here, and when I get tired of looking at the screen, I can take a break by gazing at Tokyo Bay."

The science savage said in a gloomy voice: "Captain Zilong, I didn't realize that you... had such a wolfish ambition."

Sakakibara Kaede turned his head 45 degrees and laughed, "So you don't know my title in the STARS agency?"

"Say it!"

"Lü Fengxian."

"!"

The science guy took a deep breath and quickly stepped back, as if the young man had a halberd in his hand. "I, I'm going to report to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. I'm going to expose you in a memorial."

"Hehehe, it's a pity that it's too late for you. Now you have been exiled from Luoyang and sent to Jiaozhou."

"Damn it!"

Koichiro Yuki knelt on the ground, crying and pounding the ground.

Sakakibara Kaede covered her face and laughed strangely like a night owl.

Yuuki Asuna laughed in agreement. It was also the first time she saw her brother have such a strong desire to show off in front of their peers. The content of their conversation made her hold back her laughter for a long time. It seemed that her life in the future would not be boring.

Yuuki Koichiro was still lying on the ground, literally eating the dust of a loser. Sakakibara Kaede stepped over his body and came to the chestnut-haired girl. "Yuuki-chan, is there anything you need to buy? For example, daily necessities? I'm going to buy a batch online, and I can buy your share as well."

"Oh, okay, thank you Sakakibara-senpai."

Yuuki Asuna narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Except for the one owned by Kaede Sakakibara, there was no other furniture in the three bedrooms except the bed. It was not yet dark, so it was certain that the Yuki siblings would go out and buy furniture.

Of course, they also need daily necessities, such as the most basic consumables such as toothbrushes and toothpaste.

It took Koichiro Yuki a long time to fully wake up. He looked at the setting sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window and felt that this was the trajectory of his brother's life, gradually going downhill.

Now, he can't even protect his own sister!

"Ah, brother, you finally woke up."

Yuuki Asuna came up to him with her hands on her hips and stretched out her hand to him, "Sakakibara-senpai has already bought daily necessities for us, but we still need to choose the furniture ourselves."

"Ah-"

The science guy put on his glasses that had fallen on the ground. He let out a long sigh, as if he had given up something, or let go of something, or was reminiscing about something, or was thinking about something, "Where are the others?"

"Really, brother, you have to call me by my name properly."

Yuuki Asuna corrected, "Wasn't it Sakakibara-senpai who shared the room with us? I am very grateful to Sakakibara-senpai, in every way."

Thanks to Senior Sakakibara, I gradually got to know him, and then I was attracted to him. Then our relationship gradually became closer, and finally we lived in the same bedroom, and he was kicked out...

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo——”

Koichiro Yuki collapsed, covering his face.

"Brother?" Yuuki Asuna emphasized the tone. The science man immediately looked up and saw that Yuuki Asuna's smile was a little scary. A cartoon tic-tac-toe quietly emerged. He swallowed and stood up obediently.

"where are we going?"

"Sakakibara-senpai found a furniture store for us. It's only ten minutes away by car."

"That's convenient indeed."

Koichiro Yuuki picked up his mobile wallet and put the spare key he got from Kaede Sakakibara into the wallet. He would then ask the front desk for an extra spare key for Asuna Yuuki.

He and Kaede Sakakibara both have their careers to attend to and cannot be at home all the time.

"By the way, where is Sakakibara-san?"

"Several of my senior's colleagues live downstairs, and he said he was going to visit them and have dinner."

"Then let's go too, and make a quick decision."

Koichiro Yuki waved his hand. Although he was not the kind of bachelor who loved to show off, nor was he the kind of rich kid in school who liked to be slapped in the face by the protagonist, he didn't mind spending a little more money to save some time.

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to my future life." Yuuki Asuna said with a smile. She looked at the living room which was only furnished with basic furniture, thinking in her mind how to make this place more full of life.

Yuuki Koichiro also chuckled, "Yeah."

Not long ago, Sakakibara Kaede asked Yuuki Asuna to go and see if her brother was awake, and then she left.

The key in the hands of each resident is also an elevator card. After swiping it in the sensor area of ​​the elevator, the resident can press the floor where he lives. This means that if Sakakibara Kaede wants to go to the floor where Higuchi Madoka lives, she must first go to the first floor and call Higuchi Madoka's room doorbell. After the other party confirms, she can re-enter the elevator and press the floor where Higuchi Madoka lives.

It is complicated to explain and cumbersome to operate, but its safety is guaranteed.

Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru lived four floors lower than the young man. He identified the house number in light clothes and then knocked on the door.

It was Asakura Toru who opened the door. A bright smile flashed across her face. "Ah - Sakakibara-san, please come in."

"excuse me."

Sakakibara Kaede walked in holding a bouquet of flowers that she had just bought when she went downstairs. Asakura Toru took one of the flowers and sniffed the fragrance of the flower with her eyes. After a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she smiled like a pure jasmine flower, and placed the flower lightly on her shoulder.

The young man admitted that he was worthy of being the one with the most resources in Noctchill. His every move was free and unrestrained, and such beauty could not be created deliberately.

"Ah~ Welcome, Sakakibara-kun, and thank you for the flowers."

Mrs. Higuchi took the bouquet from Sakakibara Kaede with a smile, and she invited Sakakibara Kaede into the room - the layout was slightly different from the young man's, but the furniture and decoration style were exactly the same.

There were two women standing in the open kitchen. Higuchi Madoka was wearing a black apron. When she saw Sakakibara Kaede being pulled by her mother's hand towards the living room, she let out a sigh. Her original worry was relieved a lot, and her hands moved more diligently.

Mrs. Asakura looked at her best friend's daughter with a smile, while silently cooking her own dishes.

She inadvertently glanced at her daughter Toru Asakura and saw her holding a flower and silently watching Sakakibara Kaede and Mrs. Higuchi chatting in the distance, with no one knowing what she was thinking in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Higuchi in the future." Sakakibara Kaede assured Mrs. Higuchi.

Mrs. Asakura coughed softly, "I'll leave my little Toru to you too~"

Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru looked at each other, and neither of them found anything in the other's eyes, so they both looked away.

Chapter 3: Deep Taoism

It was a noon class, and there was still some time before lunchtime. The early spring sun shone obliquely into the classroom through the window, creating a lazy atmosphere.

Just after the holiday, I entered the second year of college. Compared with the youthfulness and enthusiasm when I first entered the school, they became slick after one year of classes.

This is understandable.

The young man typed the knowledge points of the female professor on the blackboard into the notepad on his computer using the keyboard. He did not forget to divide the space and switch to different font sizes, trying to make his notes more beautiful.

There is a small window in the lower right corner with a few chat records on it. If you squint, you will find that this is the operation team of RECT Sword Art Online. The daily job of this group of employees is to play games and find bugs.

Kaede Sakakibara was not responsible for the front-end or back-end development. The main people responsible for this area were the people under Koichiro Yuuki.

In addition to the function of finding bugs, there are also people with GM privileges who go online every day to catch scripts. A few months after the game was released, many robots have begun to regularly dig herbs and look for materials. Collecting these materials can make better equipment, or strengthen and upgrade the original equipment. The prices range from ordinary to expensive.

They naturally observe the movement of people who dig materials, and ban their accounts after discovering anything. Or they go to the vicinity of accounts reported by players to observe the other party's movements, and if they don't receive a reply in private chat, they will ban them.

"Well, that's all for today's class. After reading the book we're talking about in class, you need to write a paper discussing macroeconomics. The deadline is three weeks from now, and the paper must be at least three pages long."

The female professor was responded to with wry smiles from the students in the audience, who slumped in their seats after the teacher left.

Sakakibara Kaede relaxed his shoulders, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his slightly sore wrists.

"Thank you for your hard work." Doma Ohira leaned over the table and raised his hand to him, complaining, "I didn't expect that the first thing I would do after entering my sophomore year would be a thesis. This is just one class. Dean Kimura's class will only have more homework."

"I'll take care of the group assignment this semester, buddy."

The two high-fived each other and smiled at each other.

"Hey, are you playing Sword Art Online too? What level are you at? Can you help me?"

The energetic female voice attracted the two men's attention. Several fashionable female students were gathered around the table of three boys. They were using their laptops to take notes during class, and switched to their gaming laptops when the get out of class was over.

"I just reached level 30. I've almost finished the main quest. What level are you guys, Kinoshita?"

"I'm only level 15, I can't beat the dungeon."

"Me, me, me. I'm level 16 and I can't beat the main quest."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled when he heard that. He put the notebook into his backpack, nodded to Doma Daihei, and the two of them picked up their bags and left.

It has been a few months since the launch of Sword Art Online, and it has already taken the online game market by storm, becoming a popular MMORPG among young people today.

As one of the developers, Kaede Sakakibara is also proud of it.

"Is Sakakibara-chan also playing Sword Art Online?" Sakakibara Kaede stopped walking away. Doma Ohira was standing not far away waiting for him. The former turned around and looked at the female classmate who asked him the question with a very sunny smile.

The corners of his mouth curled up, "Level 27, go to the dungeon when you have time."

"Ohhh! I didn't expect Sakakibara-san to play on the high difficulty level. After we reach the maximum level, we must team up to play on the high difficulty level!" The boy who spoke just now gave him a thumbs up.

Sakakibara shrugged and chuckled, "I have a guild, if you don't mind, join me."

"Hiss... I remember that the procedures for applying for a guild are very complicated. Not only do you have to meet the requirements for combat profession levels and tasks, but you also have to practice production professions..." Several people who were familiar with the game took a deep breath. Only then did they understand why Kaede Sakakibara was only level 27. He had spent a lot of time on production.

"Sakakibara-kun, what's the name of the guild?"

"Ah - Blood Alliance Knights, you apply now and I will be online tonight to approve your application."

The young man said this and followed Doma Ohira's footsteps. The two of them quickly walked out of the school building. Coming towards them were the freshmen who had just entered their first year of college and were curious about everything around them. They consciously made way for the senior and the two nodded as they passed by.

Doma Ohira yawned, "Should I try Sword Art Online, too?"

"I think we can give it a try." Sakakibara Kaede did not promote it strongly. Sometimes the more you promote something to someone, the more counterproductive the effect will be, so this thing should be left to fate.

The cafeteria was still noisy. The two of them took out their lunch boxes from their bags, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

He didn’t have any plans this season, or he didn’t have any desire to audition. He had just finished filming Kamen Rider, became a hero, and suddenly returned to campus life... There was a sense of freshness.

I understand. This is how the strongest soldier goes back to school.

He really needs some time to rest, enjoy life, and work on his music and band.
