I live my life in Tokyo

Sakakibara Kaede snapped his fingers passionately, "This is the charm of reverse confession. Hehehe, now I want to see how this squad leader takes off his mask and musters up the courage to confess to the male protagonist. Haha, this should be a scene that will bring a smile to people's faces."

When the monitor's eyes are not conscious, they always glance in the direction of the male protagonist - the plot uses delicate techniques to show the monitor that the male protagonist does not know, the girl who always decorates herself with a cold expression and is afraid of loneliness. Perhaps, the indifference on her face is just a protection for herself when facing the world.

She recalled attending study sessions with the male protagonist. Although there were other girls at the session, such as the silent girl from the student union, she and the male protagonist had an extremely good relationship and could be said to be in sync with each other.

She recalled working outside the school with the male protagonist, and how they gradually became familiar with each other from the initial bumps in the road. Although the gentle girl who was her companion met on the way to work was a girl outside the school whom the male protagonist met while working, they got along well with each other.

She remembered that she prepared a lunch box for the male protagonist, and told him coldly that it was just to thank him for his busy work on the class project during the school festival, but only she knew her true thoughts.

Just, like.

Finally, under the brilliant fireworks, the squad leader turned around, with tears in her eyes, and extended her hand to the male protagonist.

Two lonely hearts hugged each other tightly, trembling slightly.

Sakakibara Kaede sighed with emotion, and even had an urge to cry. This was written so well and so touching that he wanted to go and brag about what he had gained from the squad leader line.

After the hug comes the kiss, and after the kiss...

Sakakibara Kaede coughed and turned to look at Higuchi Madoka who had a calm expression beside him.

"Well, it's late now, Yuanxiang, you should rest too."

"I won't go back to sleep until I finish pushing the squad leader line."

Sakakibara Kaede patted his head and said, "No, you have to watch it too, HS."

Chapter 10: Dreams after Clearing the Level

Sakakibara Kaede suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

No, the male protagonist has been confessed to, hugged, kissed, and then came that thing, why are you, Higuchi Madoka, still looking at herself with a calm expression?

She frowned slightly and signaled Sakakibara Kaede to look at the computer screen, "Go on."

Sakakibara Kaede wanted to say something, but couldn't utter it for a while. Didn't he hear the background music change? Being able to hear such gentle and dreamy music in this scene, there should be no need to say more about what will happen next, right?

"Yuanxiang, next is hs."

Higuchi Madoka blinked her eyes, her eyes were indifferent, and Sakakibara Kaede naturally knew that she didn't know what hs meant.

No matter what, can I escape social death tonight?

It is obvious that Higuchi Madoka has successfully promoted the product to this point, but she is still not satisfied. What can Sakakibara Kaede do?

His paws were numb for a moment.

"what happened?"

"Well, Yuanxiang, do you know that most galgames are 18+ games?"

"..."

Higuchi Madoka frowned, "So, what will happen next is an unspeakable scene?"

"Why don't we skip it? Anyway, playing galgame and eating candy is enough for me, and HS is just a by-product."

Sakakibara pressed the enter key and turned off the speakers at the same time. Although no music came out, the CG that could make one become a Buddha or a devil with just one thought still started playing on the computer screen. Sakakibara kept a straight face and continued to press the enter key expressionlessly until the HS shot ended.

"...abnormal."

Higuchi Yuanxiang gritted her teeth, her cheeks flushed, and she stared fiercely at the profile of Sakakibara Kaede. If eyes could be hurtful, Sakakibara Kaede would probably have been torn to pieces by now.

"Mr. is really a pervert. He usually looks like a reliable colleague or senior, but I didn't expect him to do such disgusting and obscene things."

"It's not me." Sakakibara Feng felt wronged. He pointed to the upper left corner of the dialog box and said, "This was done by the male protagonist. I never thought of it this way."

"Obviously everyone's called Feng."

Sakakibara Kaede suddenly had an urge to vomit blood, "Big sister, the name of the protagonist of this galgame is fixed, and I can't change it."

Although there are galgames that allow you to change the protagonist's name before playing, they account for a small number of them, and most of the names are set in advance.

Does anyone know that the name of the male protagonist in this galgame is the same as Sakakibara Kaede?

The young man suddenly felt that the hot summer was about to fall on him, and it was snowing in June. He felt more wronged than Dou E.

How could he, a healthy and positive young man who exercises every day, have such a mind as the kind of game shown on the screen? This is a slander against him.

After the hs was over, Sakakibara Kaede finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned up the volume again.

"Well, Yuanxiang, are you really going to stay here to the end? Don't you have work tomorrow?" Sakakibara Kaede turned her head sideways, unable to see Higuchi Yuanxiang's face in the dim room. "It's not a big deal for me since I'm used to staying up late, but are you really okay?"

"One line takes about six or seven hours of game time. It's almost midnight, so it will be pushed to four or five in the morning."

"I told you I'll see you finish pushing it."

Higuchi Madoka's voice was cold, but her eyes were cast towards the ground. She wanted to critically evaluate the scene just now, but she felt embarrassed to continue watching halfway through. After all, she was still a girl who was inexperienced in feelings, and it was impossible to expect her to be as shameless as Sakakibara Kaede and look out the window.

Seeing that Higuchi Madoka was determined, Sakakibara Kaede couldn't help but sigh. Seeing that Higuchi Madoka wanted to see him complete the emotional line he recommended with his own eyes... It can only be said that he was very aware.

What follows is the sweet daily life between her and the class monitor. Although she still habitually puts on a cold face and speaks cold words in front of the male protagonist, the male protagonist obviously knows her inside and out. Under the straightforward attack, the iceberg-like mask quickly melts, revealing the shyness of a young girl.

The saccharins produced in two-dimensional anime or light novels are all industrial saccharins. They are okay to consume a few times, but if you consume them too much, you will find that the routine is the same.

Let’s not talk about the idea of ​​giving out sweets for now, let’s take the example of the college flow. When the male protagonist enters the college, he must either cause a sensation or pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. He will definitely meet a free heroine, no matter if she is his childhood sweetheart or a girl disguised as a man who lives in the same dormitory with him by accident. In short, he must meet one for free first.

And there must be a strict student council president who has some ladylike manners. As for how he came into contact with the male protagonist...either he disliked him, or the student council had something to ask of him.

Maybe there is a foreigner, who might have met the hero as a child, or maybe they were hostile to each other at first and then gradually became friends.

Sakakibara Kaede sighed. To be honest, apart from Wall of Masterpieces, there are indeed a lot of anime that like to use this routine. Sometimes only the voice actors have changed, but the overall plot or character attributes have not changed at all.

In today's gloomy world of the second dimension, this game goes against the grain and vividly describes the changes in the heroine's personality after she falls in love, as well as her gradually softening mentality, from a dual perspective.

The class monitor gradually fell in love with the feeling of acting coquettishly. She liked to stay by the male protagonist's side all the time and be intimate with him whenever she had time because she could feel safe.

As their relationship heats up, the squad leader is afraid that his personality will be forced to change, and he will be exposed to the male protagonist in the future.

Sakakibara Kaede couldn't help but sigh that the male protagonist in the game had a really high EQ. When facing the girl he liked, he was always able to soothe her delicate heart beneath her strong and cold appearance.

"Is it too fast?"

"Yuuka, are you talking about the time for the squad leader line?"

"No, I mean, can the class monitor open up so easily?" Higuchi Madoka asked with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Sakakibara shrugged. "I think it's a natural progression. No one could understand the class monitor before. Although she had friends around her and was very popular in school, they couldn't touch her inner world. At this time, a boy suddenly appeared and broke into her inner world. What's more, they were in a relationship, so the secrets in their hearts were naturally exposed. Of course, the male protagonist's emotional intelligence is also very high, there is no doubt about that, he should be ranked in the top five of the galgame male protagonist emotional intelligence rankings."

Sakakibara sighed and lamented that some galgame male protagonists approached girls simply to find a way out of being single. Although this was a galgame, and the experience was a simulator for finding a way out of being single by dating a girl, it was said so bluntly... Sakakibara felt a little weird.

I feel like it's hard to go far if you approach a girl with the intention of dating her.

There are naturally friendships and classmate relationships between men and women, and love is not the only thing that can happen between the two sexes, just like in this colorful and splendid daily life, romance is not the only thing. In addition to love, it is better to step out of the house and take a look at the world, the beach, the sea, the tall buildings, even a float parade in an amusement park can make people feel the beauty of the world, even if a dark horse emerges in an e-sports competition, breaks all prejudices and wins the championship, it can make people feel the brilliance of being an ordinary person.

"Oh, it turns out that the male protagonist Feng has a high emotional intelligence and can easily read the inner thoughts of girls."

"At least that's how it's shown in the plot." Sakakibara Kaede shrugged. Sometimes he felt good to see the male protagonist doing well. After all, the male protagonist's name was also Kaede, wasn't he?

Higuchi Madoka stared at Sakakibara Kaede's indifferent profile for a long time, her eyes were dim and her lips were slightly pursed. She couldn't help but want to raise her leg and kick Sakakibara Kaede off the chair, who was immersed in the plot.

How long will this infuriating man hold back before taking the initiative?

Higuchi Madoka discovered that the beautiful music that she usually listened to in her ears had disappeared at some point, leaving only silence. She frowned and looked towards the screen again.

After a moment she blushed and spat, "Disgusting!"

Sakakibara Kaede was also very embarrassed. This was when they were skipping and dancing to HS. Who knew that Higuchi Madoka would be concentrating on looking at the screen at this time?

It seemed like he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. When he played galgame next time, he refused to let anyone watch no matter what.

The time on the lower right corner of the computer had already reached four in the morning. Sakakibara Feng couldn't help but stretch himself, staring at the squad leader's bright smile on the screen, which was as bright as the spring breeze. He suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. This was the most difficult heroine among the five heroines, and she was pushed by the hero with his high emotional intelligence. Hiss, this Feng's emotional intelligence and operation... are so terrifying.

He turned his head to share the joy of passing the squad leader line with Higuchi Madoka, but found that she had leaned back in the comfortable seat with her head resting on the side and her breathing was even.

Well, at this point in time, Higuchi Madoka's daily routine is very normal, she is a good girl, but now staying up late playing games has led her astray.

Sakakibara Feng thought about it and realized that it was obviously not a good choice to knock on Asakura Toru's door at this time. It would not be a happy thing for Asakura Toru to be woken up when she was sleeping soundly.

The young man started thinking and put himself into the shoes of Feng, the male protagonist in Feng Lai Xue Guo galgame. What should he do at this moment?

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up Higuchi Madoka in a princess hug again, but this time she didn't make any unnecessary movements and seemed to be sleeping very soundly.

Sakakibara Kaede carried Higuchi Madoka to his bed, covered the girl with a quilt, and took out a blanket from the cupboard. Of course, he couldn't sleep in the same bed with Higuchi Madoka tonight. The sofa in the living room was quite big, so it was more than enough for him to sleep alone.

After saying good night to Higuchi Enka, and seeing that she didn't respond, Sakakibara Kaede smiled, yawned and came to the living room. He turned up the air conditioner by two degrees to prevent himself from catching a cold due to the low temperature. Then, Sakakibara Kaede quickly lay down on the sofa. It was understandable that he felt a little excited after pushing the squad leader line.

He saved a girl who was waiting for rescue but couldn't speak out the words to call for help. He tore off the girl's mask, pulled her out, and told her that there would be people who liked her even as she was.

Putting on a mask and smiling just to please others is so lonely and sad. If you have to put on a mask, at least take it off when you are alone with Feng and see your true self.

The young man slowly closed his eyes. He had a dream about the class monitor, but this time he was not experiencing everything from the perspective of Kaede Sakakibara outside the computer, but from the perspective of the male protagonist Kaede in the galgame.

He blinked. The person sitting in front of him with a sullen face was no longer the monitor, but Higuchi Madoka. She gave him a cold look in disgust and said, "Can you please stop wasting my time? I have to go to work in the afternoon."

"Ah, sorry."

Like the male protagonist Feng, the young man apologized.

"Then hurry up."

"Okay, Yuanxiang."

Hearing this name, Higuchi Yuanxiang snorted coldly. She frowned deeply but didn't say anything.

The young man didn't know whether the plot would develop in the same way as in the galgame. He just wanted to see whether Higuchi Madoka would open her heart in front of him like the squad leader did.

The real Higuchi Enka is revealed.

However, he obviously did not have Higuchi Madoka's perspective, nor did he have a God's perspective. He did not know whether Higuchi Madoka's favorability was 100%, and he became worried about the reverse confession.

Without a God's perspective, it was difficult for him to judge Higuchi Madoka's attitude towards him.

Hmm... should we continue to wait?

Higuchi Yuanxiang still stretched her arms in her pajamas. Sometimes she had the habit of burying her head in the quilt when she slept, because this could prevent the sunlight from shining into the room from the window when her mother came into the room and drew the curtains. At the same time, she could smell the faint scent of her own on the quilt when she slept.

What she smelled today was not her own scent.

It was a faint, cold fragrance that made her feel familiar and left a deep impression on her. Whenever she smelled this scent, Higuchi Madoka felt as if she had returned to a safe haven, with a sense of security as if she was being hugged by someone.

She suspected that she was dreaming, dreaming the same unrealistic dreams she had at home and on the Shinkansen before, but with a hint of expectation in her heart.

Higuchi Madoka successfully convinced herself that she was indeed dreaming. How could she smell the scent of Sakakibara Kaede? This was indeed a dream.

But there is no Sakakibara Kaede in the dream, only his quilt?

Higuchi Madoka reached out and touched to the side, but did not touch the body she imagined. Her slightly confused brain became a little clearer. If the dream went as expected, then Sakakibara Kaede should be lying next to her.

But now she didn’t touch anyone, which meant she... wasn’t dreaming.

Higuchi Madoka opened her eyes in dissatisfaction, and straightened her body with her messy hair.

There was only her and the young man's quilt in the room.

She got out of bed, walked barefoot to the computer, moved the mouse, and found that the computer was not turned off. As the mouse moved, the original black screen disappeared immediately.

On the screen was the squad leader smiling at the male protagonist.

Higuchi Yuanka stretched out two fingers, placed them under the corners of her mouth, and lifted them up.

"Sure enough, not like it."

Chapter 11: Spiritual counseling? Strategy counseling!

The sound of students walking in the corridor, their footsteps in twos and threes, and the music playing in ensemble made Sakakibara squint his eyes. He wanted to lie down on the desk in the practice room and just take a nap.

This is the price of staying up late to cultivate immortality, not to mention that he slept on the sofa. When he got up this morning, his body was sore and painful. He even suspected that someone had done something to his body last night.

Even getting up early in the morning to exercise could not drive away his sleepiness. His work in the studio went smoothly in the morning. After finishing his meal, he didn't even take a break before coming to school to slack off.

Listening, practicing and writing lyrics are indeed more enjoyable.

But he really couldn't hold on any longer. Staying up late depends on one's age. When he was young, staying up late at four or five o'clock every night was not a problem, but now once the clock passes twelve o'clock, his brain becomes a mess.

Of course Sakakibara Kaede wanted to stay healthy, so he decided to go to bed early tonight.

However, he did not regret staying up late last night. He was already somewhat satisfied to be able to enjoy such a perfect plot. Maybe he would be immersed in the smile of the monitor for the next week.

Having said that, Sakakibara Kaede still wants to see how the harem line of Kaede to Snow Country is developed. There are four more lines waiting for him, so he will find time to complete them.

Sakakibara Kaede yawned and rubbed his eyes. The ensemble ended, and after Takisho's instructions, the students left the ensemble room in groups of three or five, holding their instruments. Next, they would go to their respective practice rooms to practice different parts as usual.

Summer is here. The dark high school uniforms worn by students have become much lighter, and the white-based, blue-collared uniforms worn by girls bring a touch of coolness from the summer sea breeze.
