I live my life in Tokyo

"I see. Do you want me to take you to the entrance of the concert hall?"

"I'm not a kid anymore."

Nishikino Maki frowned slightly, and after a moment, she put away her cold expression and calmed down again, "In today's last concert, Feng-san performed really well."

"To be honest, I originally thought that you and Yuma-san were just playing around in a band, so when I first met you in the rehearsal room, my attitude was a little..."

Sakakibara Kaede said with a smile, "Why would I say this now? But looking back, Maki, who had just graduated from Muse, was indeed very cute... I won't hide this from you. Among all the members of Muse, I only recommend you."

"...Nani's list, one meter waganai." Nishikino Maki took a few steps back and said as if it was a conditioned reflex, and was amused after she finished speaking.

The young man was also a little helpless, "At that time, I was a fan of Maki-san because Maki's singing voice was really beautiful. Well... she sang very attentively, just like the song you wrote, "I Love You Long Live"."

"Maki, it's my honor to be able to 'love' you."

"What are you talking about?" Nishikino Maki laughed. She could tell that what Sakakibara said was this love, not that love. Naturally, she couldn't take it as a confession. But she didn't know when she became a fan of Sakakibara. She liked his singing and his interaction with the audience. What she liked most was when he raised his hand with a smile on his face while singing, which aroused the emotions of the audience. The light and brilliance in his eyes made people want to watch.

"Thank you, Feng-san. See you tomorrow."

Nishikino Maki came forward, and Sakakibara Kaede hugged her, "See you tomorrow, Maki."

After watching Nishikino Maki leave, Sakakibara Kaede heaved a sigh of relief, but he had already changed his clothes. Sakakijima Mai and the other four girls had all gone back, or rather, they had temporarily disbanded. They couldn't possibly wait in front of the concert hall's door for Sakakibara Kaede to come out. If that happened, it would be hilarious.

But there was indeed someone waiting for him at the exit.

"elder brother!"

Konno Mumianji laughed and shouted, then took a few steps forward and threw herself into the young man's chest. The latter squatted down and touched Mumianji's head with a smile.

Mrs. Konno saw that Konno Aiko was tiptoeing, obviously she was also a little moved, so she gently pushed her eldest daughter. Konno Aiko then let go of her reserve and came to talk to the young man. The latter did not show any favoritism to them and stretched out his other hand to gently soothe her head.

"Aunt." Sakakibara Kaede held each of his sisters' hands and stood up to greet them.

Mrs. Konno smiled and said, "To celebrate the success of your concert, shall our family go out for dinner?"

Sakakibara Feng remembered that Miss Nanakusa had mentioned that there would be a celebration buffet at the hotel tonight, and there would be no shortage of fresh seafood, but it would not be mandatory to attend. Nishikino Maki went to eat with her mother, and Miura Yuma also went to eat with Mr. Takisho.

Kaede Sakakibara originally wanted to have a meal with Mai Sakurajima and the others, but they seemed to know what was happening and did not invite her via Line on their phones.

"Ah, brother, I specifically told Sister Asuna today." Konno Kapok whispered in his ear.

Sakakibara Kaede nodded. Okay, now it makes sense.

No matter how delicious the fresh seafood in the hotel is, it is not as delicious as eating it with the family. Although Sakakibara Kaede doesn't know whether he has integrated into this family, he still cherishes everything around him. He naturally sees Mrs. Konno's efforts for him, so how could he not repay this kindness?

"Um, brother, after you return to Tokyo, can you move back home temporarily? I miss you."

"Yuuki, you just want to play games with my permission, right?" Sakakibara Kaede saw through it and sneered without saying anything.

However, Konno Aiko on the side chimed in, "Actually, we want our brother to help guide our homework. Although we work hard every day, our grades are still around the middle."

"Well... this reason is not impossible." Sakakibara Kaede thought about it, and said, "I understand. Although I can't give you a clear answer, I will arrange it."

Mrs. Konno couldn't help but feel deeply moved when she saw that Sakakibara Kaede and the Konno sisters were still getting along as usual.

Today, the Sakakibara family is no longer poor. Firstly, Sakakibara Kaede's father was naturally promoted due to his seniority in the company, and his salary and benefits also increased. Secondly, the Konno sisters no longer need to be hospitalized, and there is no high expense. Although Mrs. Konno is a full-time housewife, she occasionally publishes a few articles on online magazines to share her experience, which is considered a certain income every month.

Their family can be considered a middle-class family. Of course, the fact that Mrs. Konno is very careful with her money and can save a lot of expenses every month is another matter.

Dinner was not a family bucket or a steak set meal in a family restaurant. Mrs. Konno took a few people to a Western restaurant. The four of them chatted with each other at the dinner table. Most of the time, Kaede Sakakibara talked about life and work, and the others listened curiously. Yuki and Aiko just asked questions from time to time.

In the evening, Kaede Sakakibara drank a beer with Mrs. Konno. She was not drunk at all when she left, and Mrs. Konno did not look like someone who would get drunk after just one drink. The four of them said goodbye in front of the restaurant. Kaede Sakakibara said goodbye to Mrs. Konno and her sisters. The next time they met would be in Tokyo.

After returning to the hotel, Sakakibara Kaede finally relaxed the breath he had been holding outside. All he wanted now was to take a shower, go to bed and have a good sleep.

After using the room card to open the door and enter the room, Sakakibara Kaede hung his coat aside, let the computer start up by itself, then took his clothes and went into the bathroom to wash up.

He had not turned on his phone before when he was eating, but now, while he was listening to music in the bathroom, the notifications made Sakakibara speechless. After taking a shower, he dried his body, put on a hotel robe and lay on the bed, and began to reply to his friends' blessings one by one.

He saw the blessing from Sakurajima Mai, and he also saw the blessing from Higuchi Madoka. When replying to his girl, he naturally did not treat it as a mass message like other people's. He edited it carefully before sending it out.

After finishing all this, he held the computer on his lap. He wanted to check if there were any updates to his work email, but he inadvertently clicked on the Fenglai Snow Country app on the desktop.

The cg unlock rate is 60%. This is not surprising. In the entire game, he still has two lines to push. One is the line of the silent student union members, and the other is the harem line that will appear after pushing all five lines.

It is said that this line has made many players applaud. Sakakibara Kaede also inevitably became curious about the harem line and began to silently look forward to the writing style and story arrangement of the harem line.

But she is a member of the student union... The young man looked at the girl in the computer who looked calm and composed, with eyes that seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.

He sighed.

"It's time to push the student union member line."

End of the volume

Hello everyone, I am Jue Ye.

The sixth volume, the Glow of the Summer Solstice in Kyoto, where music and zither are intertwined, has come to an end.

I feel that this volume is well written, especially the twisted love story of Higuchi Madoka. As I was writing, I felt like I had been sublimated. The Lifelong Regrets Police are about to be dispatched.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next volume should be the final one.

After returning to Tokyo, the five girls confessed their stories one by one, and the harem line started after the student council members line, and the emotional part will also be sublimated.

The next volume is also a step towards the future.

I might write some extra stories after the final chapter, like the if stories about other female characters that I promised before. Although there are only five wings in the main text, you have no say in the extra stories. I have to write about why those charming female characters became wings.

However, I still have to focus more on the new book. I plan to write about Pokémon. I will also be notified when the new book is published.

That’s all for now. Thank you all for your company along the way, and see you in the next volume.

Jue Ye pays respects.

Chapter 1 Home

The cell phone on the bedside table sounded a crisp alarm as usual. Sakakibara Kaede habitually reached out to turn off the alarm and get some more sleep, but halfway through her hand hit the lamp on the bedside table. She searched around on the table and finally found the cell phone and turned off the alarm.

"Deng deng deng-"

Light footsteps were heard outside the door, and the owner of the footsteps slowly walked down the stairs.

Sakakibara Feng blinked his eyes. He had an early class today, so he had to struggle to get up, lean on the bed, squinted his eyes and looked at his phone, forcing himself to cheer up.

He found his slippers, sighed, left the warm bed, opened the door and went to the bathing center to start washing.

Looking at the toothbrush and toothpaste prepared for him on the sink, Kaede Sakakibara began his morning wash, then wiped his face with a towel and became more energetic.

After he cleared his mind, Kaede Sakakibara realized that the place he was living in now was not the tower in the central district where he lived with Mai Sakurajima and Asuna Yuuki, but his original home.

Perhaps it is a bit far-fetched to call it his original home, because the place where he lives now is Mrs. Konno's home, and the Sakakibara residence is in faraway Chiba.

After the summer vacation ended, the concert and the signing ceremony that followed, Sakakibara accepted Mrs. Konno's invitation, packed most of his luggage, and moved into the Konno residence. He had gotten along very well with Mrs. Konno before, and Sakakibara did not have the expected resistance to the new family in his heart. Since Mrs. Konno invited him like this, he had no reason to object.

It is said that the whole world is your home, but for Kaede Sakakibara, home is where there are people.

Opening the bathroom window sill and enjoying the slightly cool autumn breeze in the morning, Sakakibara Kaede stretched lazily and hung the towel back in place.

Stepping down the stairs, Sakakibara Feng noticed that Mrs. Konno was already busy in the kitchen. He subconsciously walked over and said, "Aunt, let me help you."

"Ah, I'm almost done. Feng, please set the dishes for me... And wake up Lanzi and Kapok. Today is the first day of the new semester, so we must not be late." Mrs. Konno took a sip of the soup, nodded slightly, and smiled as she thought of something. "By the way, did you sleep well last night?"

Sakakibara Feng nodded and smiled. Yesterday he officially moved into the room that the Konno family prepared for him. After finishing work at night, he was dragged by Aiko and Yuuki to play Sword Art Online for a while. After they fell asleep, he checked the contract and work emails for a while, and fell asleep hastily around the early hours of the morning. To be honest, he thought he had a good rest. There was a difference between the pillows at home and the pillows in the hotel. The pillows and beds in the hotel made him feel a little uncomfortable. The Konno family prepared very well. At least he wanted to take another nap after waking up.

The young man helped Mrs. Konno put away the dishes. After receiving her orders, Sakakibara stepped up the stairs again and went to the second floor. The rooms on both sides of the corridor were bedrooms. Sakakibara stopped in front of the bedroom near his door and knocked on the door.

"Yuuki, what time did you go to bed yesterday? It's time to wake up—"

"Well..."

In response to the low voice, Sakakibara Kaede sighed and put himself in Yuuki's perspective. He really didn't want to get up. After all, during the summer vacation, he could sleep as long as he wanted, and there was no pressure to study. Aiko and Yuuki were not taking the college entrance examination this year, so they didn't have much burden. The more fun they had in the summer vacation, the more miserable they would be after school started.

Sakakibara Feng had no choice but to push open the door of Yuki's room and found it pitch black inside. Konno Kapok's short hair was spread neatly on the pillow and her breathing was steady. If it weren't for the response from before, Sakakibara Feng would have thought that she could not be woken up this morning.

"Yuuki, wake up."

The young man pushed Konno Mumianji's shoulder in front of the bed, and when she didn't respond, he couldn't help but sigh, and went to the window and pulled up the curtains. The bright sunlight outside the window immediately poured into the room, and Konno Mumianji groaned unwillingly and buried her head in the quilt.

"Even if you have to act like an ostrich, it's time to get up now." Sakakibara Kaede felt helpless when he saw this. He couldn't necessarily snatch the quilt from Yuki - although he thought this was the most effective way.

The way to prevent people from lingering on the quilt castle is to destroy it directly. Take the cup away and see what else you can use to cover your eyes.

But it was obviously inappropriate. Konno Muqianji was a girl, and his sister, and she should not be treated so roughly.

Sakakibara thought about it for a while, and then said to himself, "It should be because Yuuki played Sword Art Online too late last night that he couldn't get up. Next time, he should not play Sword Art Online before going to bed."

"--Um!"

Konno Mumianji straightened her body, and although her eyes were still half open and half closed, her mind seemed to have suddenly become clear.

"It has nothing to do with Sword Art Online!" Yuuki said dazedly, "I'll get up now. If I finish my homework early tonight, we'll continue to discuss battlefield strategies with the guild members."

"Oh of course, if you can get up."

When Konno Kapok heard this, she rolled off the bed, stumbling. Sakakibara Kaede quickly grabbed her shoulders. Konno Kapok thanked him twice in a daze, stepped into the bathroom in slippers and started to wash up.

As expected, Sword Art Online is the best weapon.

Aiko was much more sensible. When Sakakibara Kaede knocked on the door, Konno Aiko was changing clothes and seemed to be well soon.

Back to the dining table, after the Konno sisters arrived, Mrs. Konno brought grilled fish, rice and miso soup to the table. The four of them sat around the long table, holding chopsticks and clasping their hands together.

"I'm gonna start now."

Kaede Sakakibara picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it into his mouth. He had tasted Mrs. Konno's cooking before, and this time not only did he find it delicious, he could even taste a faint, homely flavor.

Putting on the backpack containing the laptop, Sakakibara Kaede took the beautifully packed lunch box from Mrs. Konno. He was slightly startled. After a moment, he thanked her and stuffed the box into his bag.

Mrs. Konno felt that thanks were unnecessary, but today was only the first day, and it would take time to narrow the distance between people, so she was patient.

Under Mrs. Konno's warm gaze, Kaede Sakakibara said, "I'm leaving." After sending the Konno sisters to the station, she boarded a train heading in the other direction.

This kind of life should be what Sakakibara Kaede desires and hopes to obtain.

The young man looked out the car window at the colorful scenery passing by quickly and was speechless for a moment.

Once upon a time, he looked at the world with a dull and gray gaze, but now it is different. Sakakibara Kaede couldn't tell why it was different. Maybe it was just because he had experienced a lot and gradually got used to living here.

Stretching lazily, the young man left the subway station and walked towards the school gate. This semester's courses once again became the hell of morning classes. He felt that morning classes were too tiring and it would be better to have classes in the afternoon. Doma Ohira had the same idea, but because of his internship, he had to submit an explanation document to his superiors in the company, asking them to move the morning time to the afternoon and evening to make up for it.

"Senior, Senior Feng." There are only a handful of people who can call him that. Sakakibara Feng turned his head and when he saw the person coming, a smile appeared under the mask.

"Mai-san..."

Mai Sakurajima followed closely beside Kaede Sakakibara, "How does it feel to live back home, Kaede-san?"

"Yeah, it feels like home." Sakakibara Kaede looked serious. After a while, he saw that Sakurajima Mai was still looking at him straight. He laughed and gently touched Sakurajima Mai's hair. "Of course, living with you also has a home atmosphere."

"Hmm, who knows."

Sakurajima Mai curled her lips. She knew that what Sakakibara Kaede said was from the heart, so she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. "I heard from Yuanxiang that you confessed to her?"

"Ah."

"Hey, hey, Senior Scumbag, who's next?"

Seeing Sakurajima Mai asking this question, Sakakibara Kaede felt a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and looked into the distance.

Today, Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru have afternoon classes. They should be sleeping in their original homes. Since returning to Tokyo, they have returned to their homes on the pretext of missing their families. Enjoying the warmth of their families, the downstairs is naturally empty. Yuuki Asuna did not go home. The Yuuki house is now empty. Only the servants go to clean it every day. Yuuki Shozo and Yuuki Kyoko have embarked on a long business trip. Now the only place she can stay is the apartment. Sakurajima Mai is needless to say. She feels that being with Sakakibara Kaede is home.

"Tou-san is very proactive. You have to be careful not to let her push you too far, Senior Feng." Mai Sakurajima said, tapping her chin. She glanced at Kaede Sakakibara with a half-smile, then leaned close to his ear and said, "Come to me at noon today. Do you hear me?"

"understood."

Seeing that Sakakibara Kaede answered so honestly, which was completely different from his previous naughty talk, Sakakijima Mai couldn't help but laugh and lightly stepped on his foot. Then she quickened her pace and entered the campus, passing through the long ginkgo tree corridor. Her fairy-like figure soon disappeared from Sakakibara Kaede's sight.

Entering the classroom, Sakakibara was greeted by his classmates as expected. They chattered so much that the young man couldn't hear what they were saying. Most of them were saying that they had been to the concert and showing off Sakakibara's autographed album. Sakakibara naturally remembered the visit of his classmates from the University of Tokyo. He took off his mask and smiled at them. He approached the live-action group in the department and chatted briefly. Most of the time, it was social etiquette, and a small part was Sakakibara thanking them for their favor.

Interpersonal communication in college is also very important, especially for students in the economics department. Some of the classmates who talked to Sakakibara Kaede might set up a company and start a business in the future. The three people in the current group who were chatting with Sakakibara Kaede were all young masters of large companies, similar to Yuki Koichiro. They will all take over their parents' companies in the future. Making friends with them will naturally add new paths and choices for yourself.

Professor Kimura walked into the classroom coughing. The originally lively classroom gradually became quiet. Sakakibara Kaede returned to his seat and nodded and greeted Doma Ohira who was sitting next to him.

I haven't seen Professor Kimura for a summer, and he seems to have aged a little. However, the wisdom and intelligence in his eyes seem more substantial.

Sakakibara Feng recalled what Professor Kimura had said to him before, and remained silent. Before he knew it, the change of seasons had already happened unconsciously. Spring went to autumn, winter to spring, year after year, the pace of time never stopped. The youthful recklessness of the past has become mature and wise with the passage of time.

Everyone perked up, and after Professor Kimura asked everyone with a smile about their summer vacation life, everyone picked up a pen or typed to write down the key points of Professor Kimura on the blackboard.

After the morning class, Doma Ohira quickly got up. He had to rush to the company for internship as soon as possible and couldn't waste any time. Sakakibara Kaede put away his computer, laughed with several guild members in Sword Art Online, and fled after they asked him questions like "Does Asuna know that Sakakibara-san is the Sakakibara Kaede?" "Is Asuna-san the online lover of Sakakibara-san?" "How did you two know each other?"

Bringing a lunch box to the cafeteria, Kaede Sakakibara looked at the old seats where they often sat. After spotting Mai Sakurajima, he took a step forward and sat down, taking a long breath.

"Are the courses in the Department of Economics so tiring?" Sakurajima Mai gently kicked Sakakibara Kaede's foot.
