I live my life in Tokyo

"No, it's just that my classmates are so enthusiastic that I feel like I have traffic more than once."

Sakakibara Feng glanced at the students sitting around him. These were the elites of the Economics Department. They were giving him face by allowing Mai Sakurajima to enter. Who here would care whether Mai Sakurajima was a household name or a celebrity actress? They only cared about factions! Mai Sakurajima belonged to the liberal arts field, and she didn't fit in with these science-based guys in plaid shirts and glasses!

Of course, there are exceptions. There are also a few students in the youth class who are big sister-type beautiful girls who understand fashion trends, and there are also hot girls. When Sword Art Online was first released, it was them who were asked to be brought along - and now they have a very good relationship with Asuna in the game.

The two opened their lunch boxes, and Mai Sakurajima's eyes were all on Kaede Sakakibara's lunch box. "Hey, Auntie's cooking skills are really great."

Sakakibara Feng nodded understandingly, "How about we exchange food? I haven't eaten Mai-san's cooking for a long time."

"This bento was made by Asuna and I together."

"I haven't eaten Asuna's cooking for a long time."

Sakurajima Mai kicked Sakakibara Kaede again, muttering "scumbag" in her mouth, and then she laughed, and mercilessly stretched her chopsticks to Sakakibara Kaede's territory and took away a piece of thick omelette. The Minister of Economics sitting on both sides was furious, and only when he saw Sakakibara Kaede fight back and take away the small sausage in Sakakijima Mai's lunch box did he breathe a sigh of relief and retract his gaze.

"Have you read the outline of Sword Art Online, Feng-san?"

"Looked."

Seeing that Sakurajima Mai was discussing work with him seriously, Sakakibara Kaede straightened his back and answered in the same serious manner.

Mai Sakurajima nodded. "Can you explain to me how the hero and heroine met? Well, in the end, they even got married in the game world? I'm a little curious, Senior Feng, can you tell me in detail about the hero's mood at different time periods?"

The short map of Yan State was spread out, and the sharp dagger made Sakakibara Feng narrow his eyes, and cold sweat had already seeped out on his back.

Chapter 2: A Fair Attack

"Hi... What does this mean, Mai-san?"

The young man swallowed, looked at Sakurajima Mai's cold eyes, and asked the question with difficulty.

Mai Sakurajima raised her eyebrows. "When I was looking at the character designs, some things seemed to be more and more similar. The heroine's design is exactly the same as Asuna's. What do you think? The protagonist of Sword Art Online, a lone player with the ID of Kaede?"

"But there is one thing. I am not a lone player in the real world of Sword Art Online. I am the guild leader."

Sakakibara Kaede quickly coughed twice to clarify.

"Besides the different identities, his personality and character are very similar to Senior Feng, right?"

"Forehead..."

"Come to think of it, Fenglai Snow Country is exactly the same as the real world... So suspicious——"

The young man coughed twice. Sakurajima Mai snorted and let Sakakibara Kaede go for the time being. She slapped the character design on the table and said, "The audition day is coming soon. This time it's still Toei. The type of TV series we're shooting is a different world type that we've never touched before. Senior Kaede should be familiar with this kind of plot, right?"

"If we're just talking about Sword Art Online, then yes, but this is also my first time filming an isekai-themed TV series."

Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly. She started to get familiar with the game Sword Art Online after her agent contacted her. Since she learned that Kaede Sakakibara had been named by the investors as the male lead, she wanted to audition for the role of the female lead. In addition to getting familiar with the only character settings, she also tried playing Sword Art Online for the first time with the help of Yuuki Asuna. Now she is also a new member of the Blood Alliance Knights, and there is a team dungeon mission led by the coach master tonight.

She did this naturally to leave a good impression on the investors. After all, if she hadn't even played the Sword Art Online game, how could she possibly make a good Sword Art Online TV series?

Sakurajima Mai took a sip of her drink, pondered for a moment, and returned her gaze to the manuscript. "From a purely gamer's perspective, Sword Art Online is indeed a fascinating game. Moreover, with a top-tier actor like Senior Feng playing the male lead, the attention the TV series will receive will be incredible."

"Besides me, isn't there also Mai-san's traffic?"

"loquacious."

Mai Sakurajima crossed her legs and clamped Kaede Sakakibara's legs tightly. She did this under the table, but on the table she was quietly eating her and Kaede Sakakibara's lunch boxes.

After eating, she stood up.

"If I'm successful in this audition, I'll get to act opposite Senior Feng again."

Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Sakakibara nodded slightly, "That would be great if that's the case, but I believe Mai-san can get this role."

"That's natural."

Mai Sakurajima made a shooting gesture to Kaede Sakakibara in a casual manner. Her long black hair swung in a beautiful arc in the air, and she left lightly in her indoor shoes.

Whether in the TV series or in the real world, Mai Sakurajima is the irreplaceable heroine in Kaede Sakakibara's heart.

After stuffing the last piece of hamburger meat into his mouth, Kaede Sakakibara bought a cup of cocoa from the vending machine before leaving the cafeteria, and then entered the library with his schoolbag on his back.

He gave the key to the programming department to the new junior for safekeeping. In this society with strict senior-junior system, Sakakibara Kaede finally didn't have to open the door every day.

After showing his student ID, he sat down in his old seat, turned on his computer and checked his emails. The day when the new version of Sword Art Online would be released was getting closer. According to what Koichiro Yuuki had told him before, the new version would be released exactly one week after the TV series information was released. By then, both the entertainment and gaming circles would be fully utilized.

When Sakakibara passed by the publicity department at RECT before, he heard that they were going to book a certain number of screens to broadcast new information. He didn't even have to consider the results because such a plan would definitely succeed.

He looked around and realized that he was in a quiet study room where he could talk and communicate without disturbing others. The young man put on his headphones, clicked on the meeting on the calendar, and greeted the members of the planning department on the other end of the video.

The meeting lasted for two hours, and most of it was nonsense that Sakakibara Kaede had already known before, reporting on the progress of each department and so on. The young man took a lot of notes. After the representatives of each department exited the voice chat, Sakakibara Kaede pinched his temples, sorted out his notes, and then sent them to his superior.

After taking a sip of the cocoa that had already gone cold, Sakakibara Kaede leaned back in his chair and closed his slightly sore eyes. He should replenish some sugar after working.

There was a gentle knock on the glass door. Sakakibara Kaede opened his eyes and looked, and found Asakura Toru on the other side of the glass door, waving at him, and his mouth looked like he was saying hello.

Kaede Sakakibara stood up and opened the glass door for Toru Asakura. She was wearing loose casual clothes with a light blue base, and her long legs were still exposed in the gradually cooler weather. This can only be said to be a basic operation of a Tokyo beautiful girl.

She made a sound like an old person and sat down next to Sakakibara Kaede without any courtesy. It was more like squeezing in than sitting.

"Thank you for your hard work... Drinks."

"Ah, thanks."

Sakakibara Kaede took the milk tea from Asakura Toru's hand. He only drank milk tea occasionally, but if he drank too much, he would lose his figure.

Asakura Toru inserted the straw into the chocolate milk tea, took a sip, and squinted his eyes in comfort.

Sakakibara Kaede also took a sip, chewed the pearls and said, "Are you adapting to the new semester?"

"Well... it's hard." Asakura Toru said calmly, but he was actually complaining in this way, "Professor Kimura speaks too fast. Sometimes I can't keep up."

"I remember the main point was macroscopic, right? Wait a minute, I'll find the notes I remembered at that time for you."

Sakakibara Feng was clicking on the folders on his computer. This fragment of life made him feel as if he had returned to the days when he was tutoring the girls who were about to take the college entrance examination. "Here, the notes. I'll send them to your phone later. You can take a look at them when you get home."

"Hmph..." Asakura Toru closed his eyes and exhaled softly. He leaned on the table with one hand and looked at Sakakibara Kaede. His short hair fell softly on his shoulders. "Thank you."

Sakakibara Feng looked at the girl's clear and penetrating eyes. After an unknown amount of time, he took the initiative to look away.

Seeing this, Asakura Toru smiled again.

"By the way, where's Yuanxiang?"

Seeing that he took the initiative to change the subject, Asakura Toru had no desire to continue pursuing the subject, "There was an advertisement shoot, and Ms. Sato picked her up and left."

Sakakibara nodded when he heard that. He coughed and saw that Toru Asakura was staring at the notes on the screen, so he explained to her in a gentle voice the key points of Professor Kimura's class. Toru Asakura was a genius, and her way of thinking was different from others. Sakakibara knew that, so he tried to teach her the knowledge points in a way that Toru Asakura could understand.

The course lasted for an hour, and Sakakibara's mouth never stopped talking. After finishing a chapter, he suddenly felt his mouth dry. Asakura Toru handed over the milk tea, and Sakakibara took a sip, feeling the chocolate-flavored milk tea spreading to every corner of his mouth, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chocolate flavor?

Sakakibara Kaede looked at the drink in his hand, then glanced at the cup of original milk tea that Asakura Toru was drinking. The latter noticed his gaze and looked back at him with a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if to say, what's wrong?

"No, it's nothing."

Sakakibara Kaede glanced at the faint lip marks he habitually left on her and took a deep breath.

Seeing this, Toru Asakura laughed and almost spit out the drink in his mouth.

"I saw."

"Haha."

"Tou-san really likes sneak attacks."

"Feng Sang, no self-awareness."

The two men each held their own opinions and looked at each other. In the end, Asakura Toru was better. Seeing that Sakakibara Kaede felt the hidden emotions in his eyes and turned his head away, Asakura Toru chuckled again and put his head on the young man's shoulder.

"Mom wants to see you."

"Eh?"

"Yeah... dinner."

Asakura Toru hummed and said, "Hina and Koito are here. Koito wants to ask about tutoring."

Sakakibara Kaede thought about it, took out his cell phone and reported to his family. Mrs. Konno replied quickly and asked him to go home early.

Seeing this reply, a faint smile appeared on the young man's face. Asakura Toru felt that this was a warm smile from his heart, and she liked it very much. She wanted to see such a smile every day.

"Let's go."

She tilted her head and rubbed Sakakibara Kaede's shoulder with her short hair. The young man felt his neck itchy from the touch of her short hair and shrank his head, which made Asakura Toru chuckle again.

After packing her schoolbag, Sakakibara Kaede punched out of get off work in front of the library. Asakura Toru's home was very close to Higuchi Enka's house. In the same community, Sakakibara Kaede had been to Higuchi Enka's home many times and was quite familiar with the way home.

Asakura Toru was walking in front, stopping from time to time to look back and smile, her footsteps lightly on the sidewalk, like a dancing flower fairy.

Passing by a flower shop, Kaede Sakakibara stopped, and the owner of the flower shop immediately came over when he saw there was business.

"I want a bouquet of white lilies."

"Okay, is it for your girlfriend?" The boss looked at the young man wearing a mask and laughed. He glanced at Asakura Toru who was also wearing a mask standing not far away, and muttered that the reason the couple got sick was probably that they infected each other during intimacy. After a while, he bandaged Bai Lily skillfully and handed it to Sakakibara Kaede.

The young man took another step and came to Asakura Toru's side. The girl gently plucked a flower, closed her eyes and smelled it, then smiled and said, "So beautiful, so fragrant."

Sakakibara Kaede nodded. Just like flowers, so are people.

"Senior Feng, you are so enthusiastic."

"Since this is the first time you meet your aunt, you should bring something." Sakakibara Feng looked at Asakura Toru who was holding a white lily and said, "Besides, flowers suit you very well, Toru-san."

"Hmm... Flower language?"

Asakura Toru pondered for a long time, and Sakakibara Kaede said, "Pure, strong, and noble, Toru-san is such a woman in my mind."

"Oh, I remember there was also a happy marriage and lasting love."

Asakura Toru said while counting on his fingers.

Sakakibara Kaede hummed but did not answer.

The smile on Asakura Toru's face spread a little, and she walked forward again, humming her own song in a good mood.

"Because my heart has found the reason to go where I want to go, towards the sky without even a footprint. No matter what the future holds, the fact that you are by my side will never change—"

She turned around, the autumn wind blew up her short dyed hair, her eyes were clear, reflecting his figure. The girl held the white lily upright in front of her lips, but the petals could not hide her charming smile.

"hungry."

"I'm hungry too."

"Mom's food is delicious."

"Then let's go faster."

When Sakakihara Kaede came to the Asakura house with a bouquet of flowers and Asakura Toru, Mrs. Asakura was already waiting at the door. I don't know if Asakura Toru informed the family of Sakakihara Kaede's arrival time in advance. At least Sakakihara Kaede was a little flattered when he saw Mrs. Asakura's warm smile. After handing over the flowers, he and Mrs. Asakura walked into the living room, talking and laughing.

He and Mrs. Asakura did not meet often. The last time was at the shrine during the New Year. There were other mothers of childhood friends at the shrine. They only exchanged a few words. The family structure of the Asakura family was very similar to that of the Higuchi family. The man also often went on business trips to earn money to support the family. Sometimes he could only come back once every six months. It was extremely busy.

After changing into guest slippers, Sakakibara Kaede entered the living room and found that Ichikawa Hina and Fukumaru Koito, who were in high school, were already sitting in the living room doing their homework. Asakura Toru had no intention of joining them, so he walked around from behind Sakakibara Kaede and walked straight to the sofa and collapsed on the soft cushion.

Seeing that Fukumaru Koito was wearing glasses and had obviously entered study mode, Sakakibara Kaede did not disturb them, and did not even plan to watch TV. She sat on the sofa and started browsing her phone.

After a while, Sakakibara Kaede noticed that Asakura Toru had left the sofa. She let out a soft "hehe" sound, rested her head comfortably on her thighs, and squinted her eyes.

"Hello..."

"I'm so tired and want to sleep. Feng-san, can you lend me your thigh?"

"Isn't there a pillow?"

"It doesn't smell like you."

Sakakibara looked back and saw Mrs. Asakura humming a song in the kitchen in a good mood. She had smiled and declined Sakakibara's request to help. Ichikawa and Fukumaru were still studying hard. Even Ichikawa, who liked to talk about Tanosi the most, had no intention of looking up.

A feeling of guilt suddenly surged into Sakakibara Kaede's heart.

The petals of the blooming white lilies in the vase on the table were swaying gently with the ventilation of the air conditioner.

"Really? If I get caught, I might get kicked out by my aunt."

"It won't be discovered."

The young man had no choice but to start reading the new outline sent to him by Koichiro Yuki. He had to familiarize himself with the plot as soon as possible so that he could save a lot of time in filming.

Asakura Toru chuckled and said, she found a comfortable position for herself and rubbed her head against his abdomen, as if she wanted to leave her scent. She took a deep breath, let out a comfortable sigh, and then raised the corners of her mouth and continued to browse her phone.
