I live my life in Tokyo

"Hey, can you hear me, Feng?"

"Ah, I can hear you, Asuna."

Kaede Sakakibara controlled his character and began to pull people waiting in the guild hall into the team.

"Um, Feng-san, I've seen a house that I like, and I want to buy it as a home for the two of us."

"Um, in Tokyo?"

Sakakibara Kaede's casual question made Yuuki Asuna's ears turn red. She instantly understood Sakakibara Kaede's question. He thought that she had taken a fancy to a house in real life and wanted to live in it with him...

"No! In the game, I'll send you the coordinates, you can check it out later."

"No, I'll watch it now."

Sharing item boxes means sharing money as well. Sakakibara Kaede has a wealthy family, mainly because he got a lot of materials and equipment when he was a nigga in the early days, and he hasn't used up all the money yet. Sakakibara Kaede has no other needs except playing the game, such as going to the game hall, buying transmogrifications, or playing in the RP store, all of which cost money.

Kaede Sakakibara lived frugally and saved a lot.

"Does this house near the lake look good? Well, it's also close to the nearby town, which is convenient for handing in quests and such. Wait a minute, I'll go see if I can grab it."

After Sakakibara Kaede finished speaking, he immediately started to move and disappeared under the curious gazes of the guild members. He controlled his character to ride on the mount and galloped on the ancient road. In the game setting of Sword Art Online, there are many housing areas provided for players to live in, but it is a common phenomenon that there are more people than places. In this case, many people will start to scramble for houses after a new housing area is opened.

The house will be refreshed and available for purchase at any time. At this time, it all depends on hand speed and luck. This has also contributed to many robots constantly clicking the purchase confirmation button, and there are also many purchasing services on behalf of others. As for the former, Kaede Sakakibara has always been very aggressive in eliminating them.

“There aren’t many people.”

Sakakibara Feng came outside the house and found that there were only a few people standing there. He glanced at the house refresh time. It was still a bit early at this time, and there were not many people squatting here.

After he told this news to Yuuki Asuna, the latter nodded in understanding and said that the most important thing now was to concentrate on the conquest.

The person in charge of tonight's strategy is neither Yuuki Asuna nor Sakakibara Kaede. The two of them only need to follow Shiroe's instructions. Sakakibara Kaede will occasionally report the boss's status and special moves. Yuuki Asuna is free. Although her hands are typing on the keyboard, her mind is already wandering.

At this moment, she was thinking about what kind of furniture she should put in her house if she successfully bought the house. As for the bed, she would have to buy a double bed. Hmm... She already had the materials for the sofa, table and chairs, so she decided to make one herself to save money.

The absent-minded Asuna Yuuki woke up when Kaede Sakakibara was talking to everyone in the voice chat about the hard work and the disbandment. She blinked her eyes, and immediately pulled Kaede Sakakibara into the team after leaving the team at the speed of light. Then, she used the expensive teleportation crystal sold in the game without hesitation, and teleported Kaede Sakakibara to the town.

Sakakibara Kaede opened his mouth. Although it would only take about ten minutes to run using the mount, the house might be gone in these ten minutes.

Seeing that Yuuki Asuna was very determined and looked determined to win, Sakakibara Kaede smiled. He didn't say anything and quickly summoned his mount to follow Asuna.

The human woman was riding a snow-white horse in front, and the minotaur was riding a two-headed wolf behind her, breathing heavily with a long sword on his back.

There were a lot of people queuing in front of the doors of several surrounding cabins. When Sakakibara Kaede arrived, she found that Yuuki Asuna had already started pressing the confirm and purchase buttons repeatedly.

This is a long process that requires waiting. Sakakibara Kaede glanced at the time beside him, pursed his lips, and originally wanted to urge Yuuki Asuna to go to bed, but now he gave up.

The only sound left in the voice chat was the calm breathing of the two people. When Sakakibara was about to change the song to change her mood, Yuuki Asuna exclaimed softly. Sakakibara then looked at the screen and saw a house number plate in front of the door - obviously, someone had successfully purchased it.

"Feng, I bought it, I bought it!"

The sound from the headphones was getting farther and farther away. Sakakibara Kaede couldn't help but take off his headphones and found that Yuuki Asuna opened his door after knocking politely, like a bird returning to its nest. As soon as Sakakibara Kaede stood up, she hugged him and pressed him on the bed, with Yuuki Asuna's surprised and happy smile on his face.

"We bought it. Our house."

"Ah."

Kaede Sakakibara looked at Yuuki Asuna with a smile. He supported the girl's shoulders to prevent her from falling completely and leaning on him.

Yuuki Asuna blinked, but this time she didn't run away. She just smiled, stood up again, and tucked her chestnut hair behind her ears.

"Feng-san, from now on we can only log off in the room, lying on the bed together."

Sakakibara Kaede laughed. What kind of sense of ritual was this?

"Okay," he agreed.

In order to hide her shyness, the girl tapped her toes twice and said, "I'm going to buy a double bed. It's a bit late today, so let's sleep on it and then log off."

"it is good."

Chapter 44: I will only take the initiative towards you

"Everyone has worked hard."

The planner tapped the manuscript in his hand, attracting everyone's attention. "The next work location will be in Kyoto. If you need the studio to book a hotel, please send an email to the studio tonight."

The studio helps to book hotels, but of course it won’t be a five-star hotel surrounded by tall buildings. At most it will be a homestay or a small hotel.

Kaede Sakakibara didn't have any requirements for where to live, but to be honest, it was a bit inconvenient to live in a B&B every day for two to three months in Kyoto. For example, there was no kitchen. From the perspective of saving money, eating every meal in the B&B was obviously a bit expensive.

But the good thing is that when you live in a B&B, there is someone to clean the room every day. For a lazy person like Sakakibara Kaede, this is a good option.

Chizuru Ichinose left in a hurry. After finishing her work in the morning, she had classes in the afternoon. The Nerima area was a bit far from her work area, so she had to take a ride and leave early.

Kaede Sakakibara wanted to give her a ride on his motorcycle out of kindness, but she politely declined.

"Tou-san, I remember that you and Yuanxiang had a group report this afternoon."

"Ah...right."

"Then stop talking and get in the car."

Sakakibara handed the helmet to Asakura Toru. Seeing the latter's subtle expression, he was speechless. "I say, Toru-san, do you want Yuanxiang to report on the work alone? Yuanxiang is too pitiful."

Although the report was made by two people, it was a bit despicable to let Higuchi Madoka stand alone on the stage.

"Hey, there's a lot of content in Higuchi's memoir."

Asakura Toru explained. She put on her helmet obediently, stretched out her arms and hugged Sakakibara Kaede's back comfortably. She took a deep breath as if she was sighing, "Okay, let's go, gogo~"

Sakakibara Kaede started the engine. To be honest, he could hardly imagine the scene of Asakura Toru standing on the stage and reporting his work in a serious manner. Higuchi Madoka behaved very normally in front of outsiders, but Asakura Toru would definitely be daydreaming!

"Feng, I booked a room for three people."

"what?"

"Kyoto."

Sakakibara Kaede said, "Did Tou-san book a hotel room or a rental house?"

"A rental house with a kitchen and three bedrooms." Asakura Toru's words floated in the wind, and Sakakibara Kaede nodded silently. She didn't expect Asakura Toru to be so quick. He had already chosen a house and might have even paid the deposit.

The motorcycle stopped at the gate of Tokyo University. Asakura Toru got off the motorcycle first, handed the helmet to Sakakibara Kaede, smoothed his short hair in the wind, and smiled freely.

She waved to Sakakibara Kaede, tapped his phone, and then danced away.

Sakakibara Kaede guessed that what she wanted to say was to contact her by phone when the time comes.

He had no classes in the afternoon, so he could go in and out of the classroom at will to attend classes and enjoy the air conditioning, but Sakakibara Kaede had been working all morning and now just wanted to lean back in his chair and enjoy the air conditioning. Thinking of this, he walked towards the club.

He took out the key from his bag, opened the door and turned on the air conditioner, then took out a can of Coke and a stack of ice cubes from the small refrigerator, poured the Coke and ice cubes into a glass, returned to his own seat, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned on the computer.

Sword Art Online will usher in a version update five months after its launch. Although Koichiro Yuuki is no longer the top person in charge of Sword Art Online, he also attaches great importance to Sword Art Online and has recently focused on this game.

Well, he himself said so, there will be many games under RECT in the future, but his original intention was only Sword Art Online.

After logging into the Sword Art Online client, Sakakibara Kaede automatically entered the LINE chat room. Today was a weekday and it was afternoon, so there were only a few guild members online. There were only a few college students who had no classes in the afternoon and housewives who had nothing to do at home. When they saw Harukaze online, they greeted him one after another and then went about their own business.

The young man hung up the phone for a while, and then his phone vibrated, indicating that he had received an email.

Seeing the title of the email, Sakakibara Kaede smiled and forwarded the email to Mrs. Konno - this was an admission notice from the private Toyonosaki Academy.

After passing the basic academic tests, Konno Aiko stayed back a year and entered her second year of high school, and Konno Kapok did the same and entered her first year of high school. Considering that both of them had been hospitalized for a long time and had not experienced any systematic learning, this was already a pleasant surprise.

However, if he wants to catch up with the main group, he will probably have to take private lessons or attend a private school, which is not within the scope of Sakakibara Kaede's concern.

He immediately received a text message from Mrs. Konno thanking her, and the other party also received an admission notice from the school. The words were filled with deep gratitude and emotion. In the end, she said that although Kaede Sakakibara had a family outside, she might as well come to her house and sit for a while. It would be even better if she could bring the cute junior schoolmate from that day.

"..."

Sakakibara Kaede scratched the side of his face. It depends on whether Yuuki Asuna is free.

While he was fiddling with his phone, a person was seen jumping up and down in front of the Minotaur on the computer screen. Sakakibara Kaede looked up and immediately smiled.

"Isn't this Senior Yuki?" Looking at the human male whose ID was Science Macho, Kaede Sakakibara waved at him.

"You're not in class? Why are you online at this time?"

"I don't have classes in the afternoon. I'm working in the morning. I'm going online to fix bugs and discuss information about the next version with the people in the management group." Sakakibara Kaede typed a reply.

He clicked on the planning group's video call, put on his headphones, and began to listen to several planners using PPT format to explain the updated content of the new version.

That's the good thing about online meetings. When he was typing to Koichiro Yuki, he wasn't actually online yet, and he didn't know if he was slacking off.

"By the way, let me show you the newly bought house." Sakakibara Kaede continued to chat privately with Yuuki Koichiro.

"What! You actually managed to snatch the house. Did you take advantage of your position? For example, you banned all the robots that snatched the house, leaving only you alone?"

"Your suspicion pains me, and I order you to join the team as soon as possible."

"111."

After Sakakibara Kaede pulled him into the team, he took him out of the city. He didn't want to use the expensive teleportation crystals whenever he wanted. A money-saving collector like him was reluctant to sell even the warehouse was full of basic construction materials. How could he possibly use the expensive teleportation crystals?

"By the way, Yuuki-senpai, I have reported this to the planning team before. The shared item box after marriage is still a little small. It should be expanded a bit."

"..."

"After getting married, there is a bug in the map position viewing. If the other person is in a cave or playing a game, the position cannot be seen. I don't know if this should be changed."

"—"

“I feel that there are still too few interactive functions for both parties when getting married. Currently, it seems that there are only transmogrified rings and clothes, shared money and prop boxes, and viewing each other's position on the map. I think there should be some small games or functions for both parties to interact, otherwise it will be too monotonous.”

"!!!"

"Yuuki-senpai, please reply. I'm a little panicked when you reply like this."

Koichiro Yuki gritted his teeth and looked at the minotaur walking in front of him with a ferocious face. At this time, he was already planning in his mind whether to launch a large map with free PVP function. If possible, he wanted to draw his sword right now and kill the minotaur in front of him who talked about marriage every other sentence!

Pure love warriors will win!

"Look, this is the house we bought a few days ago." Sakakibara Kaede stood in front of the door and pointed behind her. Yuki Koichiro looked up and found that there were many cherry trees planted in the yard. Pink petals were falling from the trees. There was a small bridge in the yard, and the bottom was paved with pebbles, which was like a poem and a picture.

Science man, the Sakura in your hometown has bloomed...

"I remember this cherry tree cost a lot of money."

"I bought it."

"Hiss... where did you get so much money?" Yuki Koichiro looked doubtful.

"When Nigo rubbed it."

Sakakibara Kaede looked proud.

Koichiro Yuki read the reply from the other party, snorted, and clicked on the house number with his mouse.

"Name: Log House."

"Everyone: Harekaze & Asuna."

The lens of Koichiro Yuki's glasses suddenly shattered, the veins on his hand holding the mouse were exposed, the wasd on the keyboard was almost deflated by him, and his eyes were full of bloodshot. The word "marriage" one after another might not be a big deal, but this doorplate gave him the final fatal blow.

“Hmmmm—”

It was like a cyber-psychopath coming back to life, roaring on the verge of breaking.

The secretary who was passing by the office and was wearing a well-fitting women's suit heard the beast-like roar, her heart trembled and her hands trembled, and the milk tea in her hands poured out, soaking her black stockings and leaving them with a layer of light tea-white.

Seeing the science hunk jumping back and forth in front of the door for some reason, Sakakibara Kaede continued typing, "The room is still being renovated. Asuna said she wants to do it herself and doesn't need my help, so I just let her do it."

"..."

"Your friend, the science guy, has gone offline."

"What's going on?"

Sakakibara Feng groaned and looked at the empty yard. The science guy was standing here a few seconds ago, but now he left without saying goodbye.

I guess he went to a meeting.

Sakakibara Kaede felt that the explanation he gave was very reasonable.

Walking into the house and sitting on the double bed, Kaede Sakakibara focused his attention on the online meeting. He began to record the content of the version update, preparing to study it carefully when he got home.

After two hours of meditation in the club, the afternoon classes were almost over. Kaede Sakakibara began to pack up her things, nodded to a few familiar seniors and a few new juniors, and then left the club.

Professor Kimura squatted in front of the door of the freshman classroom on time, and he took the initiative to help the other person share the thick homework in his hand.

Professor Kimura raised an eyebrow, "Sakakibara, what do you mean?"

"This is not...I need to ask you for leave."

"Heh, office talk."
