I live my life in Tokyo

"There's no such private freedom in a mixed bath." Sakakibara Kaede shrugged.

Asakura Toru pouted in dismay, and Higuchi Madoka started laughing upon seeing this, her shoulders trembling slightly. The sound of water and laughter mixed in the slowly rising mist, bringing a hint of dreamy and hazy beauty.

Chapter 32 - I Do

It was finally decided to use the second day's performance as the recording for the Blu-ray BD. Compared to the restraint of the first day, the movements and performance of the three members of World Shine on the second day showed a sense of relaxation and self-release.

Obviously, the feeling was much better than the first day.

Today is Saturday. World Shine ended their four-day performance and left Yokohama amid the reluctant farewells of their fans. As for where their next destination is, Sakakibara Kaede is not sure.

The next album will be released around August, and I don’t know when the concert will be held - Miss Nanakusa will be in charge of this, so World Shining doesn’t have to worry.

Everything seemed to have returned to the most peaceful, sweet and precious daily life.

But today is not like an ordinary day.

After having breakfast, Kaede Sakakibara opened Sword Art Online and just sat there doing nothing. He read the manuscript on the table for a while. Soon, many players in the group jumped up and down in front of him.

"What's going on? Are there any activities today?"

The young man sighed. Even if there was a land reclamation mission today, it was not organized by him. . . . Maybe he was happy to see him online.

Glancing at the strategy calendar that Chenghui made, there was indeed an organized group of mid-level players exploring the new land this afternoon - this group was led by Mitt and a player with the ID Smith Hasaka, and he had nothing to do with it.

With the idea of ​​going online and joining the voice chat in mind, he controlled the mouse and clicked on the voice channel, then put on headphones.

His appearance immediately caused the men and women in the voice chat to start making a noise, as if they were sharks smelling blood.

"Hey, I didn't expect Harukaze and Asuna to be getting married. Harukaze hasn't been online these days. It was Asuna who sent us the invitation."

“I’m not surprised. Harukaze and Asuna often have private conversations.”

"I hope Captain Harekaze's blade won't slow down because of Asuna's presence!"

Sakakibara Kaede blinked and glanced at the date on his phone... It seemed that Asuna had told him that they were getting married today.

"Ahem, sorry, I've been busy in real life these days and can't come online."

"There's nothing we can do about things in real life, Captain."

Mitt was in the voice chat room, not daring to say a word.

She knew why Harukaze hadn’t been online for the past few days. That day, she, Yuuki Asuna, and dozens of other classmates bought tickets to Yokohama after the club activity. In the stadium with stars twinkling, they listened closely to the singing of Harukaze… Sakakibara Kaede.

Those were intoxicating memories for her. At that moment, she was actually secretly delighted. Others didn’t know who Qingfeng was. Only a few people in the group knew, including me.

Sakakibara agreed to a few things. He had participated in the design of the wedding in Sword Art Online, including the appearance of the church building and the dress transmogrification. What Sakakibara cared about was not the sharing of the prop box - the prop box was full of materials and equipment that he had obtained from digging and killing monsters. If he took it to the market to sell it, he could indeed get a lot of money. At least he could get a complete set of professional pioneering equipment.

But Sakakibara Kaede believes in Yuuki Asuna, and besides, she has already said that the purpose of getting married is to create a transformation.

Sakakibara Kaede stretched, apologized, picked up the cup of water and went to the living room to make some tea.

"Mai-san, do you have work today?"

Sakakibara Kaede saw Sakurajima Mai changing shoes in front of the entrance, with women's handbags placed on the shoe cabinet next to her, so she asked curiously.

"There is an advertisement for women's shoes." Sakurajima Mai nodded, and Sakakibara Kaede picked up the women's bag and handed it to the girl, making her smile with satisfaction, "I will be back in the evening, and Feng-san should have a good rest at home with Asuna-chan today."

"I have to go out this afternoon. Do you need me to bring you anything?"

"Well, wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Sakurajima Mai took off her ladies' shoes again, walked into the kitchen in black stockings, bent over and opened the drawer, then handed Sakakibara Kaede a shopping list.

"For this week's portion, I was planning to go to the supermarket on my way home tomorrow. Since Feng-san is free to go out, I'll take care of it."

Sakurajima Mai smiled as if her trick had succeeded.

"Nothing, just running an errand."

Maintaining this daily conversation, Sakakibara Kaede sent Sakurajima Mai to the door, and the latter snorted softly.

"What about the farewell kiss?"

"I'm talking to you..."

Of course, it is impossible for them to kiss. In Sakakibara Kaede's opinion, their relationship has not yet reached the level of an old married couple - this is the leeway that Mai Sakakibara has left for him. Perhaps the two can only maintain such a good friend relationship when they are public figures. When they leave the entertainment industry, Kaede Sakakibara will stop and think about the future life for himself and Mai Sakakibara.

Sakurajima Mai was just talking and didn't want Sakakibara Kaede to really kiss her - if he really took the initiative, a lot of things would have been done by now.

However, he is not like those stupid and wooden male protagonists in Japanese anime, because those male protagonists don’t know how to respond, they can only play dumb and keep playing dumb.

Sakakibara Kaede gave her an answer, an answer to the future.

"what..."

Mai Sakurajima felt Senior Feng's hand caressing her head and hummed, "Not bad, Senior Feng."

"Are you a little pig? You hum when you speak."

The girl kicked Sakakibara Kaede in annoyance - of course, without shoes.

Finally, she put on her shoes indignantly under Sakakibara Kaede's gaze, glared at Sakakibara Kaede, made a face at him, and then closed the door.

Sakakibara Kaede was speechless for a while, then returned to the kitchen. The water had already boiled. He put the tea bag in the cup and took it back to the bedroom.

"What time does the wedding start?"

Sakakibara Feng muttered to herself that Yuki was not here. Sakakibara Feng knew that they were discharged from the hospital today - he went out in the afternoon to send them home.

"Ah, Kaede-san... Harukaze?"

Yuuki Asuna's voice came, not from the headset in the game, but from the balcony outside his bedroom in real life.

This balcony connects the two bedrooms like a corridor.

Sakakibara put down her headphones and opened the balcony door.

On the side of the balcony closest to him, there are some easy-to-grow flowers and plants, as well as a few pots of small succulents. At night, he will put the succulents into the house to protect them from the wind and rain outside the window.

"What's wrong, Asuna-san?"

"Well, I'm a little worried about Yuuki."

"what?"

The girl twisted her hands, looking a little confused. "Well, we have known Yuuki for a long time, right?"

"Just a week ago, Yuuki came online and said his final goodbye to me. He gave me all his equipment and money, and left me a message saying that I looked like his sister." Yuuki Asuna said hesitantly, and she looked away, "Did something happen to Yuuki in real life... Does Kaede know?"

Sakakibara Kaede was silent for a moment. He had not expected that Yuuki's affairs would make Yuuki Asuna so concerned - no, it should be said that Yuuki Asuna is just like that. She has a strong love and kindness, which influences the people around her.

Konno Kamen also told him that Asuna was very kind to her... like her sister Aiko.

"She hasn't been online these past few days. She's never been out of touch for so long before... Did something happen?"

This week is the day when Konno Kapok has her final surgery and physical examination. It is normal for Yuuki, as her real-world clone, not to be online.

As for Yuki's current physical condition, Sakakibara Kaede has learned about the health conditions of the two sisters from Mrs. Konno on Line, and both of them are safe now.

Seeing how worried Yuuki Asuna is now, I remembered the longing and sadness that flashed in Konno Kamen's eyes when she talked about Asuna.

"Do you want to see Yuuki?"

"Well, no matter what happens, I want to see Yuuki and talk to her again."

"Okay...Are you free this afternoon, Asuna-san?"

"Have."

"Come out with me once."

Sakakibara Kaede invited, and Yuuki Asuna nodded in a low voice.

At this moment, the cell phone alarm rang. It was Yuuki Asuna's alarm. She quickly took out her cell phone and hastily canceled the alarm, then put the phone in front of her eyes, leaving only her beautiful orange eyes exposed.

"Ah... Senior Feng, it's time to get married."

"So fast, okay. Do you want to go into voice chat later? I guess it's all teasing. Is Asuna-san okay?"

"It doesn't matter, because this is a marriage."

Yuuki Asuna said firmly, and at this moment she had a bit of the spirit of the swordsman Asuna in the game.

For her, this is a big event in life (game).

"Okay, very energetic."

Sakakibara Kaede praised, saying that for a set of transmogrified clothes, the teasing of teammates was nothing, and that Asuna-chan was very aware.

What we need is the courage to go forward even if there are thousands of people against us.

After returning to the room, Sakakibara Kaede put on his headphones again. At this time, the guild hall was already full of people, and most of the voices were anxiously asking where the leader had gone and what he was doing.

The young man saw the invitation to form a team from Yuuki Asuna.

As for clothes... He was currently wearing a powerful set of armor that he had obtained while exploring new lands. He didn't have to worry about what to wear at the wedding, because the system would automatically dress the player like an adult in a suit.

Time is up.

The scene loads, and what comes into view is a long red carpet leading to the church in the distance.

In the CG, people on both sides of the road are all people who have received invitations from Asuna and are attending the wedding. They are all dressed in suits and look respectable, and they salute the leader's wedding.

In a raider guild like the Blood Knights, where strength is paramount and there are many high-level players, it is still too difficult to find a like-minded girl who plays games here. Although there are indeed many female players in the group, the high-level flowers that are picked are still a minority after all.

In this case, if you want to have an online love relationship and get married, you can only find someone outside the guild, and you don’t know whether the female players outside the guild are high-level players. The meaning of online love and marriage is to accompany each other, to complete dungeons together in the game, to hug each other and take photos in front of beautiful scenery... Companionship is the best confession.

In this case, you actually let a high-difficulty player accompany a girl to take photos, go fishing, play cards, and do team building every day? Ha, women will only affect my speed of drawing my sword!

Therefore, the wedding of Captain Harukaze and Swordsman Asuna made many guild members envious and jealous. Both of them are high-difficulty players and often play dungeons together. Most of the topics they talk about are the progress of strategies. It can be said that they are a perfect match made in heaven.

The minotaur stopped in front of the bald old priest modeled by Kaede Sakakibara, took Asuna's hand, and lowered his head gently.

The two of them turned around slowly, and a gentle smile appeared on the faces of the game characters.

No one spoke in the voice chat for a while, as if they were expecting something.

“Mr. Harukaze, whether we are poor, sick, in trouble, in pain, or rich, healthy, happy, or blessed, are you willing to stay with Miss Asuna and love her forever?”

The minotaur nodded, "I do."

Someone in the voice chat groaned, seeming a little disappointed, "I thought the leader would say I am willing in the voice chat."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who had been trying to hold back their laughter burst into laughter. Some people banged their desks frantically and began to urge the leader to say "I do" in the voice message.

Sakakibara Feng snorted. These people were quite serious when playing the game, but when they were not playing the game, they became fun-loving people with a lot of dirty talk.

"Ahem, I'm willing to give in to you."

"Whoosh..." Someone whistled, and then someone coughed hard to stop him. "Quiet, quiet, it's Asuna's turn."

The bald priest turned to Asuna, who was wearing a wedding dress, with a kind look on his face and smiled. "Ms. Asuna, whether you are poor, sick, in trouble, or in pain, or rich, healthy, happy, or blessed, are you willing to stay with Mr. Harukaze and love him forever?"

The voice quieted down.

Sitting at the desk, Yuuki Asuna slightly closed her eyes. The priest's gentle words came from her headphones. From her perspective, she could see Harukaze's broad and steady figure. In real life, he was neutral, and so was Senior Kaede, mature and steady. The more you get to know him, the more you can understand him.

She seemed to be back in the classroom of her freshman year in high school. On the day of the school festival, she secretly looked at the handsome young man sitting opposite her brother in the kitchen. That night, she shyly agreed to the young man's invitation in front of the bonfire and danced three dances in front of the bonfire with her unskilled dance steps. The surprise and surprise when she found that the young man was her game friend who she could talk to. The maturity he brought during the chat and his ability to read the atmosphere and make a few jokes from time to time made Yuuki Asuna once again understand what kind of person Sakakibara Kaede is.

A senior who made her feel warm, a friend who maintained a stable sense of distance, and a person who she felt was very much like herself.

How could she not see the slightly tender attitude that Mai-senpai had towards Feng-senpai? . . . The several women from the entertainment industry who came to her house to cook that day and amazed her also had a faint affection for Feng-senpai.

But she is Yuuki Asuna, a swordsman named Asuna, and she will not give up her love.

She wanted to feel Feng's tenderness as a senior, a friend, and... in her daily life.

It would be great if this kind of life could continue. Even if I could live with Mai-senpai and Feng-senpai together and share every moment that belongs to Feng-senpai with her, I would feel like I have earned something.

Amid the guild members' expectant gasps, Yuuki Asuna laughed softly.

"I am willing."

Chapter 33 Under the Sun

As expected... I am a little shy.

At this moment, Yuuki Asuna was glad that she was not playing games with Senior Feng face to face or across a table from them, otherwise he would be able to see the blush on her face clearly.
