I live my life in Tokyo

After walking for about ten minutes, the four arrived at the entrance of the dungeon. There were many players sitting around here. They were gathered into different groups, some repairing equipment, and some waiting for teammates.

After Sakakibara Kaede clicked the button to confirm her participation in the dungeon, the screen went dark.

Taking advantage of this time, he opened Line and sent Yuuki Asuna the beginner's guide he had just written along the way.

The other party reacted quickly and sent a little bear love emoticon.

"Uncle Qingfeng has the highest level. Do you want him to take charge?" Mitt suggested, stretching his body.

Yuuki Asuna smiled in front of the computer. She had never seen Senior Sakakibara at full power when playing games, so she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart, "I agree."

"I don't have a problem~" Yuuki typed into the chat list.

"Okay." The young man cleared his throat. To be honest, he had little experience in commanding in dungeons. In his previous life, he was not the one giving orders when playing online games. He was used to being the second-in-command. When he played Yamaguchi Mountain, he was the deputy tank of a group in the guild. The command power was in the hands of the main tank, and he had no intention of competing for the right to speak.

"I'll pull out two waves of monsters first. The rapier user will use a linear attack AOE here. I'll use Iron Wall and Positioning Roar."

The Minotaur warrior held a large sword that was the same height as the cat girl in one hand and flashed in front of the two groups of skeleton soldiers, howling provocatively towards the sky. The eyes of the surrounding skeleton soldiers flashed red, and they rushed forward one after another, waving the knives in their hands towards the Minotaur.

A hint of ferocity flashed across the corners of the Minotaur warrior's mouth, and two streams of substantial gas spurted out of his nostrils. A layer of faint fluorescence appeared on his body, and his defense increased in a short period of time. Even if his level was suppressed, the monster's attack on his body was like a tickle.

"Asuna, Yuuki."

"Ah! Okay."

Yuuki Asuna was still in a daze listening to Sakakibara Kaede's voice just now, but when her real name was called, she quickly responded with a serious look and used aoe skills linear attack on the monsters gathered together. Yuki used exactly the same operation as her, but it seemed that she was more skilled than Yuuki Asuna and attacked more monsters.

While Mitt was dealing damage, he did not forget to give a sip of milk to the grinning Tauren warrior.

The four of them cleared three or four waves of monsters and successfully stood in front of the first mini-boss.

"Uncle Qingfeng, how do we fight?"

"I'll pull the boss to the 12 o'clock position facing north. In the first stage, one person will be randomly named to share the damage. Remember to run towards me. Three people can't handle that damage..." Sakakibara Feng took a sip of tea and added slowly. His voice was calm and gentle, making people want to continue listening.

Yuuki Asuna and Yuuki both thought so.

But Yuuki Asuna was not surprised, because she had listened to the songs of Shining World over and over again no less than a hundred times, and naturally she loved the voice of senior Sakakibara very much.

Mitt was muttering to himself on the other end of the computer, could it be that Qingfeng is really not an uncle, but a handsome high school student?

"-Oh, by the way, Asuna, please stand aside for a while. The boss will release a wave-like AoE behind him."

A big, hot hand rested on the young man's shoulder, and Sakakibara Kaede broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately pressed the button to turn off the microphone and turned his face away slowly and stiffly.

The flash from the science guy's glasses almost blinded the young man. Sakakibara Kaede suddenly narrowed his eyes and took a breath.

"Junior Sakakibara, hahahaha, I think I heard something just now?"

"Welcome back, Yuuki-senpai. How was things at the company today?"

"It's still the same as always, a bunch of robots and bugs, and issues with minor version updates... No, you almost got around it, hehe, Sakakibara-kun, did I just hear you calling my sister Asuna by her name?"

The fiery claws raged on the young man's shoulders. Sakakibara pointed at the screen and said, "Senior Yuki, please don't misunderstand me. This is the game ID of Junior Yuki. I don't necessarily mean... You should call her Junior Yuki in the game, right?"

"Okay! You still dare to quibble!"

When Yuuki Asuna heard her brother's weird laughter and fighting, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Hmm? Where's Uncle Harukaze? Why is he silent?"

"No... I don't know." Yuuki Asuna laughed quickly.

"I seem to hear the voices of Uncle Harukaze and the stranger from you." Mitt said.

The girl was startled and quickly closed the balcony door. She took off her headphones and could hear the voices of her brother and Sakakibara-senpai from the balcony... Didn't the other party close the door either?

"Hey, Asuna, I'm talking to you, Asuna."

"I'm back, what's up?"

“I said, you don’t know Uncle Harekaze in private, do you? It feels like the tone between you two seems to be very familiar, and I can even hear Uncle Harekaze’s voice from you...Ah! Asuna, you are not living with Uncle Harekaze, are you?”

Yuuki: “////shy////”

"No, it's not!"

Yuuki Asuna quickly refuted. Although it was true, how could she say it in front of her best friends!

"Poverty and humbleness cannot change me, and might and power cannot bend me, Senior Yuki!"

"Hehehe, eat my soul chains." Koichiro Yuki has turned evil.

Yuuki Asuna pressed the mute button on the microphone, feeling embarrassed and angry: "Brother!"

Chapter 6 Snow in June

"Really, brother, your voice is too loud!"

Yuuki Asuna, wearing loose home clothes, put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly, "Sakakibara-senpai and I were talking in the game, and our other friends heard it."

"Now they all suspect that I'm living with Sakakibara-senpai."

Yuuki Koichiro, who was kneeling on the ground to admit his mistake, suddenly raised his head, his eyes gradually filled with bloodshot, and clenched his fists tightly, "What! What! How could such a misunderstanding occur!"

Sakakibara Kaede, who was sitting next to him, said silently: "It doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding."

Yuuki Koichiro glared at Sakakibara Kaede, his gaze like a sharp sword, "If this gets out, it will be a devastating blow to Asuna's reputation!"

"Brother is an idiot." Yuuki Asuna snorted speechlessly. Yuuki Koichiro's heart trembled. This was the first time his sister spoke to him in such a tone, and it was because of an outsider! He couldn't sit still anymore. What would happen if this continued for a long time? Would Yuuki Asuna break off relations with him one day?

The chestnut-haired girl blinked at the young man, looked at Yuki Koichiro unhappily, and walked back to her bedroom. She now had to explain to Mite Yuki what had just happened. If it weren't for her brother's fuss, this matter could have been laughed off. Now that their curiosity had been aroused, the matter could not be resolved amicably.

While Yuuki Asuna was racking her brains for an explanation, Yuki Koichiro in Sakakibara Kaede's bedroom fell to the ground holding his chest, his body twitching helplessly.

“Aaaaaaaaaa—”

"Yuuki-senpai! What's wrong?!"

"Asuna's eyes, my sister's eyes!" Yuki Koichiro screamed as if he was drowning. "Asuna always looked at me with gentle eyes in the past, but today there was disgust in her eyes!"

"Ah, you'll get used to it." Sakakibara Feng sat next to him and patted his back with an appearance of someone who had experienced it. "Back then, a friend of mine looked at me like trash every day, but I managed to get through it. Now she's my junior schoolmate, and when she sees me at school, she has to call me senior. Hehehe, this is called sweetness after bitterness!"

Koichiro Yuki exhaled weakly and closed his eyes.

"Well, I don't want to comment too much on the relationship between you two siblings. After all, I'm an outsider. Every family has its own problems, right?" He stood up and glanced at the screen. Seeing that the other three were still standing there without using the phone, he took a sip from the water cup. "Maybe Yuuki-chan wants to be independent."

"Everyone has their own private life, Yuuki-senpai and Yuuki-juni are no exception. Brothers and sisters can't be together all the time. In the future, you will have to separate them when you marry them."

Yuuki Koichiro got up from the ground after fully recovering, and pushed his glasses which were emitting white fluorescent light, "You said...she will marry?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Sakakibara Kaede was stunned, thinking about what he had just said.

"No, it was just that moment that I realized that the hell was ahead."

Yuuki Koichiro yawned, straightened his clothes, hid the emotion about his sister's growth in his eyes, patted the young man's shoulder, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I want to go to bed early today. Don't stay up too late."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The science macho man returned to his approachable senior image and considerately closed the door for Sakakibara Kaede after she left.

The young man smiled, sat back in his seat and put on his headphones.

“Hey, Asuna, while you were talking to us, were you also having a private conversation with Uncle Harekaze?” The young man heard Mitt’s lively question as soon as he put on his headphones.

"Yes, it's a duck, so it's not the cohabitation you and Mito Yuki imagined. Don't get the wrong idea!" Yuuki Asuna quickly followed.

But this did not dispel the curiosity of the other two.

Yuuki typed: "Harukaze and Asuna have a good relationship////"

"Ah! Asuna, are you and Uncle Harekaze in an online relationship? An online relationship."

Yuuki Asuna's mind flashed with the young man's profile as he looked at the computer, sometimes focused and sometimes amused. She quickly shook her head, "No!"

"I am back."

Just when the three of them were in a mess, the real culprit appeared.

"Asuna and I have nothing to do with each other. Rather than this, it's time to open the book." Harukaze said briefly and pressed the countdown button.

“Oh~ No, I clearly heard Harukaze’s voice in Asuna’s voice chat~”

Asuna Yuuki held her forehead helplessly. She knew Mite's character. If she continued to avoid this question now, she would find opportunities to ask questions during the game, and who knows what she might get out of it.

"Harukaze and I did have a private conversation."

"Oh~"

"Asuna?" The young man asked the question, and the boss had already started. His big sword dragged a spark on the ground. The Minotaur warrior let out a positioning roar and rushed towards the old boss.

Mitt whistled while typing, "Online dating is great. When did Uncle Harukaze and Asuna start dating online?"

"...Mitt, you hit the wrong output shaft just now, didn't you? Play this seriously, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh my god, the four of you are also going to go on a police mission."

The Minotaur let out a battle cry, and struck Lao Yi with a cross slash and an armor-piercing blow, snatching back the hatred from Yuki - the opponent's output method was very professional, and the damage was too high, almost causing OT.

With the professional output method, Lao Yi was quickly defeated in the Northwest.

Sakakibara Kaede and the other two left the exploded equipment to Asuna and continued their journey.

“Hey, hey, hey~ When are Uncle Harekaze and Asuna going to get married?”

"puff!"

Yuuki Asuna, who was studying new skills next door, suddenly heard Mite's question and made an embarrassed sound. Hearing this sound, Mite immediately laughed.

"Marriage or something..." Asuna retorted in embarrassment, "It's too early..."

"Huh? What are you talking about Asuna? It must be the marriage in Sword Art Online?"

Koichiro Yuuki took a comfortable shower, and with steam coming out of his body, he drank a sip of boiled water comfortably. He stood calmly outside Asuna Yuuki's door, wanting to listen to Asuna's quotes while playing games.

"——It's too early to get married..."

The spring sky suddenly became like snow in June. Yuki Koichiro was trembling all over, his teeth chattering, he lost all strength, and gradually... he fell to his knees.

God is killing me -

"Marriage in Sword Art Online? What the hell is that?" the young man was puzzled. He did design the model of the clothing at that time, but he only knew that one could wear a suit and wedding dress for marriage, and he didn't know anything else.

"Well... there is also a shared prop box, so you can check each other's location at any time, right? But there are too few people getting married now, and I don't know the inside story." Mitt said.

The young man understood that the item box sharing standard had discouraged many players who wanted to get married - Sword Art Online already had professional players within a few months of its launch, or perhaps players who played this game as a profession.

This is indeed the case. Sword Art Online has PVP gameplay, and I heard that Koichiro Yuuki plans to launch professional competitions in the future and prepare prize money.

These players regard the props and equipment they obtain as their own life, and trading equipment on the black market is no longer a rare thing.

Sharing a prop box is equivalent to exposing the secret to the other party, and the other party can use it at will. . . Not even Sakakibara Kaede, who has used sorcery to deceive marriage, would believe this.

"This...this is too early!" Yuuki Asuna said in a low voice.

"I understand, I understand." Mitt used a smirking expression on the Minotaur, "Everything should be done step by step."

"——The second boss has a death penalty attack against the tank. I will use the Stone Fortress to become invincible in a while. Mitt, remember to purify and clear the debuff for me." The young man interrupted Mitt again and emphasized the second boss's point.

Next door, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief. Today, she was saved by Sakakibara-senpai more than once during the voice chat. Listening to the other party's comfortable voice, she felt a sense of relief for no reason.

It took twenty minutes to finish this dungeon. After leaving the dungeon, Yuuki Asuna went to complete the main quest. Sakakibara Kaede separated from the main group and began his life of digging for materials after watching Yuki say goodbye and log off.

After taking a shower and cleaning the bathroom, the young man returned to the bedroom and found that Mitt was also offline, but Asuna was still online.

"Asuna, it's already past 11 o'clock, time to go to bed."

"Ah - okay, it's really easy to forget about time when playing games."

The two of them exited the voice chat and were now communicating via typing in the team channel. The young man went offline after saying goodbye to Yuuki Asuna.

Closing the other windows, Kaede Sakakibara closed the window that exposed him tonight and lay down on the bed to sleep.

The next day, when they woke up, Koichiro Yuuki went out early to have breakfast at the company, while Kaede Sakakibara and Asuna Yuuki went their separate ways after eating a simple meal of bread and eggs.

Today's youth is in music mode, carrying a guitar case on his back and heading straight to the office in the afternoon after his morning classes.

STARS agency has tasted the sweetness of them, and has recently been closely discussing projects with many independent music groups. This was revealed by Yuuma Miura, who said that the person in charge of the music area has visited several famous venues in Tokyo, such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa, etc., to discover hidden groups and bands among the people. If he hears a good one, he may sign a contract with them.

Sakakibara plugged in the guitar and plucked the strings unconsciously. While waiting, he checked the official account run by the agency.

The content released by the band's account whetted the appetite of fans. Only excerpts of the chorus and climax of each song were played. Fans obviously bought it and left messages saying that they wanted to hear the full version as soon as possible.

I glanced at the date and it seems like there are only a few days left until the next CD is released.
