I live my life in Tokyo

Listening to the laughter in the voice chatter, Yuuki Asuna opened her mouth but still couldn't say anything.

This made many guild members feel bittersweet and sour. Usually, Asuna-san would participate in the command work when clearing new areas or playing high-difficulty games, such as reporting mechanisms, reading her own status, etc., but now she was too shy to say a word.

Even those alpha males in the group who always said that there was no woman in their hearts felt a little envious.

Kaede Sakakibara chatted and laughed with the team members. He was quite serious about playing this game. Not only was he a player, he was also a member of the planning department. When chatting with the team members, he understood the problems they encountered in the game and would feedback these problems to them, etc.

It's not that there are people in the planning department who are looking for problems while playing the game. Koichiro Yuuki is also playing Sword Art Online, but none of them are as advanced as Kaede Sakakibara. As a member of the rare guild of the strategy group, his voice is gradually increasing nowadays. During internal company meetings, he often brings up bugs or imbalances encountered by players, so that the maintenance department can respond quickly.

After the wedding ring exchange, everyone gathered outside the church, clamoring to take pictures.

There are more than a hundred people here, including several wild hunting teams, and there are actually quite a few who are catching up on progress. The guild is vigorously training new players who have been in the game for a while.

Asuna-san... How many people have you sent invitations to...

"Ahem, the shorter ones stand in the front and squat, and the minotaurs like me stand in the back."

"No, Captain. You and Asuna-san are the protagonists today. How can I let you stand in the back row?"

"Then Asuna and I will stand in the middle, and you guys will stand on the bench and be the center of attention?"

“That’s fine.”

Sakakibara Kaede said this casually and it was passed unanimously.

He controlled the Minotaur and Asuna to stand together, facing the photographer, and clicked a smiling emoticon.

When he was designing the character, the Minotaur's original smile was a little hideous and bloodthirsty, as if it was an invincible warrior crawling out of a pile of corpses in a bloody storm.

It's just that the modeling of Sakakibara Kaede collapsed before it was halfway created. Yuki Koichiro pointed fingers at Sakakibara Kaede for a whole day, telling him that there are still only a few players as tough as Sakakibara Kaede. Now most boys in MMORPGs will choose cat girls, dragon girls, wolf girls or human girls when creating their characters, rather than some minotaur with the strength to pull mountains and the unparalleled power.

There are already not many people who choose Tauren. Wouldn't your design make even fewer people play it?

So, Kaede Sakakibara, with tears in his eyes, changed the Minotaur's smile into a silly one. The boss of this game was not him, but a science macho man with glasses and a constant sneering smile.

The screenshot was quickly posted in the Line chat group, and soon someone suggested using this photo as the LINE group’s profile picture.

Speaking of it, most of the activities in the group are high-difficulty land reclamation or logging at different times. The people online at different time periods are different. There are more than a hundred players in this photo, which is considered to be the team-building activity with the largest number of people.

Maybe it’s because everyone is resting at home today, Saturday, or maybe it’s because they received an invitation and couldn’t bear to refuse.

Before Sakakibara Kaede could say anything, the administrator had already set this photo as the profile picture.

"..."

He originally wanted to say that we are the strategy team, which is a bit inappropriate, but after taking a look at the cat girls and dragon girls with ferocious faces and wearing blue and purple weapons and equipment at the wedding scene... he seemed to have no reason to object.

Some people wore funny frog suits and catfish suits, which made them stand out in the crowd. Whoever caused such a disturbance on this wedding day, Sakakibara Kaede would bring him to justice. However, it was difficult to see their IDs when taking photos, and since they were wearing hoods and their faces were not clearly visible, there were too many people to be excluded.

After thinking about it, Sakakibara Kaede smiled and thought that this might be the essence of multiplayer online games.

There was still some time before lunch, so everyone had nothing to do so they gathered in the guild voice chat, arguing with each other.

"Ahem, it's rare for everyone to gather together like this. I counted the number of people. There are 48 people in a legion, and there are almost three legions now." Sakakibara Kaede paused, and the laughter in the voice chat gradually quieted down. He glanced at the game content updated on Friday night next to the screen, "The NPC here has updated a side quest, the selection of the Goblin King, which is a wild raid. Why don't we kill one of the goblin nests in the seven locations before lunch."

The leader's words were loudly echoed by the militants. They quickly took off their funny transmogrified suits, put on the latest and coolest weapons and equipment, and started calling people in various channels.

Kaede Sakakibara took off his headphones and leaned back in his chair, turned on his phone, and sent a message to Asuna Yuuki.

"What are you having for lunch today?"

Without waiting for long, Yuuki Asuna immediately replied with a message with an emoticon attached.

Dog love.

"I don't know. I checked the refrigerator this morning and could only make noodles... Senior Feng, do you want to eat something?"

"Ah, how about ordering takeout today?"

"No - Feng-senpai is a singer and an actor. Takeout is more or less unhygienic. You should take good care of your body!"

Kaede Sakakibara shrank back into his chair, and the tone of his voice really sounded like his mother.

"As expected, Senior Feng's daily life cannot be without me. Don't worry, today's lunch will be left to me."

After Yuuki Asuna finished typing happily, she added, "By the way, they are calling you, saying that the team has been formed."

"it is good."

He had already completed the advance mobilization, and the work of intelligence analysis was handed over to the person who was responsible for most of the pioneering matters and introduced to the new instructors Shiroe and Naotsuku and others. When he had nothing to do, he opened the prop box.

This was his first time experiencing the marriage feature, and he wondered if there were any bugs or anything like that.

Sakakibara Kaede clicked the mouse, his eyes moved from the materials he dug, and saw the equipment displayed in red here - these were all Asuna's.

Because of his different profession, he can sell it in the market, but he can’t wear it.

There are neatly arranged letters under the prop box.

Letters are props that can be purchased cheaply from NPCs. Players can use letters to communicate with friends at different times, and can also send things to each other. Now that players can communicate directly with friends on Line, it is a relatively romantic but somewhat useless setting.

Kaede Sakakibara opened the letter with curiosity, and what caught her eyes was Asuna's diary... and a thank you.

"Today, Senior Sakakibara took me to explore the wasteland. Ah, although my brother is here, I can't play for long. Time is so precious. I have to hurry up..."

"My brother moved out today. Although I am a little sad, I have been able to spend more time with Sakakibara-senpai. I often go to bed late at night. I don't know if this is a good thing. Although it certainly won't affect my studies, I just don't know if it will affect Sakakibara-senpai's work..."

"Harukaze... Senior Feng, thank you for helping me clear the difficult level. It makes me feel at ease to listen to your instructions."

Next door, Yuuki Asuna looked at the unopened letters she had buried deep in her tool box being opened one by one. She was suddenly struck by lightning and buried her face deeply in her palms. Her ears were already burning.

The girlish secret has been discovered!

"Ah, Asuna, don't you know how to send a letter?"

In the fairy tale of their private chat, Sakakibara Feng asked suddenly, "I see that some of these letters seem to be... for me. Well, the messenger is on the corner of the street next to the prop shop in the main city, and it is indeed a bit difficult to find."

"Well..."

Yuuki Asuna's face was flushed. Some of the letters in there recorded the changes in her girlish mentality. Although they were written at the end of the letter, she believed that Sakakibara Kaede would just glance at them and not read them carefully, right?

"Hey, Asuna has thoughts about the opposite sex in her mind, too. I won't poke you, but I have something to say. As a senior who has been through this, you should try not to fall in love during your senior year of high school. Making an appointment to go to the same university together is the best guarantee that classmates who have a crush on each other can make."

"Hehe, next time, Asuna-san, why don't you bring that boy to me? Now that Yuuki-san is not in Tokyo, I will fulfill my duty as an older brother... Hehehe, I will pass on the pressure that my senior is under to that boy without any change."

Yuuki Asuna opened her mouth. Although she was well-educated and well-mannered, she didn't know how to respond to Senior Feng's words for the first time. At this moment, she was shy... She wanted to rush to the next room and press Senior Feng, who was laughing strangely, on the bed and torture him.

If it were a game, it would be fine. If it were PVP, the Minotaur tank would just turn around and run away when seeing the rapier user Asuna.

Asuna Yuuki gritted her teeth and began to flip through the half of the prop box that belonged to Kaede Sakakibara.

"Ninety-ninety-nine materials, is Senior Feng so hardworking?"

"More than two hundred toad legs, they are not for eating..."

"Senior Feng, why... why do you have more than 900 goblin rags? How many goblins did you kill?"

Upon hearing this, Sakakibara raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the result of the pre-mission for the Goblin King. I heard that this thing can be exchanged for goods, so I kept it all."

"As for the toad legs, they can indeed be made into soup to add strength."

After the additional explanation, Sakakibara Kaede returned to the guild hall channel. At this time, the intelligence work had been discussed and everyone calmed down and waited for the leader to speak after hearing his cough.

"Ahem, there's only one thing I want to say. Drive all the goblins out of this world. Not a single one should be left alive!"

"Ohhhhhh!"

"Charge! There are enemies on the other side of the river!"

"Crush their teeth!"

Amid the roaring battle cries of the team members, the two-hour wild group began.

When Kaede Sakakibara finished her command and left the room, she found Asuna Yuuki already downstairs in the kitchen.

She seemed a little embarrassed and annoyed. She glanced at Sakakibara Kaede with a pink face and snorted softly.

Sakakibara Kaede stepped forward to help.

Today's menu is creamy mushroom pasta, which sounds complicated, but it can be done in about half an hour as long as you have the ingredients.

Kaede Sakakibara was helping to cut mushrooms, while Asuna Yuuki was standing beside him, and she could feel the other person's body temperature on her arm.

"The thing about the boy I like."

"Well, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that Sakakibara Kaede was ready to give her some advice, Yuuki Asuna shook her head helplessly and put all the gossip in the game out of her mind.

She poked Sakakibara Kaede's shoulder with her finger and said, "I won't fall in love with a boy in my grade."

"I won't like the seniors, nor will I like the juniors."

Sakakibara Feng was stunned. "Why is that? Please elaborate."

"Because I met someone better." Yuuki Asuna whispered, "I feel that the person next to me is so dazzling that I can't look away."

Her whisper was too quiet, and seeing that Sakakibara Kaede's blue eyes were still full of curiosity, Yuuki Asuna smiled, "What does Kaede-senpai think of Mai-senpai and the other seniors?"

"A very good friend who I can get along with very well." Sakakibara Kaede remembered Sakurajima Mai's smile in the moonlight and that shy kiss. She couldn't help but sigh, always feeling a little sorry for her.

Yuuki Asuna noticed the complexity in Sakakibara Kaede's answer, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis... Mai-senpai had always treated her like a real sister, so she wouldn't have confessed her feelings to her and ran away, right?

After finishing the meal, Sakakibara Kaede started washing the dishes, thinking that there was no need to start the dishwasher for such a simple meal.

Asuna Yuuki went back to her room to change her clothes and prepare to go out with Senior Kaede in the afternoon.

In theory, this was the first time she and Senior Feng had traveled alone together. Previously, her brother was always by her side, which made it difficult for her to speak out what was in her mind.

She took a look at her closet, took out the color that best matched her, and tried it on in front of the mirror.

"Senior Feng, how do you like this dress?"

Asuna Yuuki left the bedroom and turned her body in front of Kaede Sakakibara.

Sakakibara Kaede sipped his tea and nodded. The female friends around him were indeed good at dressing up. Yuuki Asuna's theme color today was red and white. She wore a heart-shaped pendant on her chest, a light red plaid skirt and a white top. She looked very cool and showed off her youthful charm.

"Very good, it suits you very well."

"Is this all the words in Senior Kaede's vocabulary?" Yuuki Asuna asked with a smile. She saw that Sakakibara Kaede was really thinking seriously. He was probably thinking about which famous painting to use as an example to praise her. She wanted to wear the kimono that she was praised for before in front of him again. "Forget it, Senior Kaede, go change your clothes."

"Have I changed it?"

Sakakibara Kaede nodded. He didn't have many clothes, so he just put on a few sets of clothes and was done.

"Senior Feng has too few clothes. Next time we have time, let's go to the clothing store and pick out some summer clothes for you."

Asuna Yuuki pulled Sakakibara Kaede's wrist, feeling a little embarrassed by the touch, so she changed place and started pulling her sleeve.

Although she wanted to ask if going out with herself like this was different from going out with other people, but given Yuuki Asuna's personality, she didn't want to ask.

Now she just wanted to stand quietly beside the young man, quietly looking into those blue eyes under the gentle sunlight reflecting on the water waves.

"It's a very happy wedding."

"Ah! Um... Really, everyone is too noisy."

Yuuki Asuna chuckled and complained, "But I feel very happy too."

She coughed lightly and imitated the steady voice of the bald priest, "Ms. Asuna, whether in poverty, illness, hardship, pain, or wealth, health, happiness, or joy, are you willing to stay with Mr. Sakakibara Kaede and love him forever?"

"I am willing."

Ask yourself questions and answer them.

When Sakakibara Kaede looked at her again, the girl was already standing in the distance, her chestnut hair bathed in the sun, smiling and waving at him.

Chapter 34 Cyberpsychosis

He had habitually put on a mask and a baseball cap. The weather was good today, so after entering the train, Sakakibara Kaede took off his sunglasses.

Every time I go out I have to be fully armed and dress like I'm seriously ill.

Of course, he didn't have to wear a mask, but that would infinitely increase the possibility of being recognized in the crowd. Although he was very tolerant of fans who enthusiastically came forward to ask for autographs or photos, and tried his best to meet their needs, he sometimes preferred to blend in with the crowd and follow the crowd.

This mentality... If I must describe it, it's a bit like the emperors of ancient times who went on incognito visits. With their status, they had to be protected by a guard of honor and imperial guards when leaving the palace. Before they even stepped out of the door, everyone on the street knew about it.

Sometimes I still like to calm down and be alone.

He glanced at Yuuki Asuna who was standing next to him. She was typing on her phone, looking like she was typing for someone.

"Ah... Feng-senpai, my brother is asking me as usual if I have eaten and what I have eaten." Yuuki Asuna smiled, "My brother is really something, every question is like this."

"Maybe this is Yuuki-senpai's way of showing concern."
