I live my life in Tokyo

"No one's home today."

"Feng Sang, are you coming?"

The sender is Toru Asakura.

Sakakibara Kaede patted his head. Today was the day he was going to play games with Asakura Toru, but he had completely forgotten about it because he was too busy.

After sending a positive message, Sakakibara Kaede went upstairs to change clothes, picked up his computer and left home.

Although he wanted to stay at home and be a lazy dog ​​on his weekends, an appointment is an appointment and he didn't want to break it.

When you go out at this time, there are no office workers who need to work overtime on Saturday on the subway. Only young people and couples who go out to play on their day off are left, enjoying the coolness brought by autumn. Sakakibara Kaede is no exception. This season is neither cold nor hot, and she feels very comfortable with the breeze.

It really looked like no one was at the Asakura house today. Mrs. Asakura's car had left, and looking from outside the house, the curtains were closed.

He took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.

Asakura Toru opened the door for him.

"Hello~"

She stood inside the door, wearing loose home clothes, and waved at Sakakibara Kaede with a faint smile.

"Good morning, Tooru."

"Well, it's already noon."

Asakura Toru laughed and extended her hand to Sakakibara Kaede, who held her hand and was pulled into the door by Asakura Toru.

"Has Tou-san eaten lunch yet?"

"Ah... Mom only made breakfast."

Asakura Toru muttered. She saw Sakakibara Kaede change into slippers and walk into the kitchen and come to the refrigerator. "What would you like to drink?"

"Anything like oolong tea?"

"Barley tea, please?"

"Row."

Asakura Toru smiled gently, bent over to take out a cup, poured a glass for the young man, and took out the condensed ice cubes from the refrigerator and put them in the cup.

"Thank you so much."

Sakakibara Kaede put down her bag and sat on a chair in the living room, taking a sip of her drink. "What about lunch?"

"Hmm... takeout?"

"it is good."

When Sakakibara Kaede is with any girl, she can take on the responsibility of cooking. But when it comes to Asakura Toru, oh sorry, she can't do it at all. As for Sakakibara Kaede, she only helps out during the cooking. In the past, she would have been a chores disciple, doing odd jobs, and she didn't know how to cook.

The two people's opinions were surprisingly consistent and they decided to have takeout for lunch today.

"Where would Toru like to watch me play games?"

"Ah, the bedroom, it's comfortable."

Asakura Toru tilted his head and said, Sakakibara Kaede hummed, finished his drink and refilled it. Asakura Toru walked in front to lead the way. When walking up the stairs, Sakakibara Kaede discovered that Asakura Toru was wearing summer home clothes. In the slightly cool autumn temperature, he was still wearing summer home shorts, without socks, and wearing slippers barefoot.

Well, everyone feels body temperature differently. When Sakakibara Kaede encounters a slightly colder temperature, she wants to crawl into the quilt and wrap herself up like a dumpling to sleep. I didn’t expect Asakura Toru to be so free and easy.

The girl's bedroom was cleaner than the last time Sakakibara Kaede came, but this subtle change could not escape Sakakibara Kaede's observation. It seemed that Asakura Toru knew that he was coming, so he specially tidied and cleaned it?

If a girl enters a boy's bedroom, she might laugh strangely and search the whole room to see if the boy has any small notebooks hidden under the pillow, under the bed, or in the cracks of the bookcase. If she finds out, she will laugh at him immediately.

When a boy enters a girl's room, he doesn't know where to put his eyes.

This is the dilemma that Sakakibara Kaede is facing now. He coughed lightly, put the computer on the low table, turned on the power and picked up the mouse. Asakura Toru moved the cushion and pillow over and sat down next to him. She made a sound of "hey", squeezed next to Sakakibara Kaede, and rested her head lightly on the young man's shoulder. The short, soft hair made Sakakibara Kaede feel a little itchy.

After starting the game, Sakakibara Kaede did not play it right away, but instead had a serious discussion with Asakura Toru about what to eat today.

Takeout in Japan is a bit expensive, but the price is not a problem for the two of them. Considering their health, Kaede Sakakibara finally did not consider high-calorie takeout such as hamburgers and pizza. After ordering sushi and yakitori takeout, they turned their attention back to the screen.

"Let's get started, Feng."

Sakakibara Kaede nodded and clicked the mouse on the avatar of the student council member, and her line officially began.

She is a girl who doesn't usually show her emotions. I don't know if she doesn't like to show her emotions or if it's just her nature. She has few friends, but not none. She usually handles her work in the student union alone, but she is not alone. Her friends will always accompany her.

When it comes to studying, she is a genius. She can grasp knowledge points with almost no study, and she is always among the top students when the results are announced.

The first time the male protagonist Feng met her was not on campus, but outside the campus. After finishing his part-time job, he was walking home on the light snow. In the park on the way home, Feng saw the girl sitting on the swing in the square, swinging silently alone.

Seeing this scene, Sakakibara Kaede suddenly remembered that when she met Asakura Toru outside, she always liked to lie on the climbing frame, leaning on the cushion and looking up at the sky.

No one knew what she was thinking, and no one could guess. Perhaps it was because the expression on her face was too calm, making people around her embarrassed to approach her and talk to her.

"This one looks like Higuchi," commented Toru Asakura.

Sakakibara Kaede laughed out loud. He found Asakura Toru's sharp comments on Higuchi Madoka quite comical. What she said was indeed true. "But would Toru-san be like this in school? Classmates wouldn't dare to approach her and talk to her... or something like that."

Asakura Toru pursed her lips, hugged her calves with both hands, and leaned on the pillow, "Yes, but it's a little better after becoming an idol."

Her Riddler attribute is to some extent comparable to the Speechless attribute. One is that she doesn’t speak so the meaning is not understood, and the other is that she speaks but the meaning is not understood either.

Sakakibara Kaede smiled and continued pushing.

The male protagonist Feng was naturally curious about what the silent student union member was thinking. His purpose in approaching the girl from the beginning was not love, but simple curiosity and concern - perhaps the figure sitting alone on the swing in the snow was a little lonely, which made the male protagonist pay attention to her often.

The girl is not silent, but she just doesn't know how to speak or express herself more clearly when facing strangers.

The opportunity for their relationship to improve is still the school festival plot that happened in the previous lines, but this time Sakakibara Kaede took on the student union work and worked with the girl.

Every day after school, he would do the preparation work in an empty classroom. Every night after school, the male protagonist would always send the girl to the subway station, day after day without stopping.

He also gradually understood what the girl was saying from her few words. Sometimes, as soon as she opened her mouth, the male protagonist Feng knew what she wanted to express.

"Hmm... this one looks like us."

Asakura Toru may not admit other character settings, but when it comes to this, the girl nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The male protagonist proposed to take the student council members to visit the school festival. The two of them experienced a haunted house together, went to a restaurant for dinner, and finally enjoyed a magic show. By the way, they helped the school solve the incident of the Phantom Thief Jumonji appearing in the student council.

He still sent the girl into the station. Compared with the previous interactions between the two, she now had a natural smile on her face, which made people feel warm. Who was it that used the key to open the door to her heart?

Then, after the school festival ended, the male protagonist habitually came to the door of the old classroom after school. He suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, as if he had long been accustomed to coming here.

Inside the door, the girl was reading a book with her head down. She didn't look impatient at all, but was just waiting for something patiently. She was reading the book silently, but her eyes were looking in the direction of the door. The psychological description here shows that she knew he would definitely come, and she believed it.

The door opened and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although the student union mission has ended, they still go into this old classroom after school. Most of the time, they read books and study, rarely communicate with each other, and even if they talk, it's just two or three short sentences. In this case, the existence of dialogue is completely unnecessary. What's more important is the feeling in the heart. He, she is right beside you, within reach, and this feeling is heavier than any words.

Asakura Toru gently held Sakakibara Kaede's hand and crossed their fingers.

Finally, one evening after school when the sky was filled with dusk, in the classroom, the girl's face, which had been calm for eternity, turned slightly red, like the color of the sunset, and she spoke calmly.

"I want to live with Feng."

"I also want to live with Feng."

Asakura Toru lay down next to Sakakibara Kaede's ear and whispered softly.

The young man turned his head and found that she was looking at him with a smile, "Well, what's wrong? Don't you want to continue pushing?"

"it is good."

Sakakibara Kaede felt that he didn't need to say anything to Asakura Toru anymore, he just needed to keep pushing it.

He already knew what Asakura Toru was thinking. This smart girl had never hidden her feelings from the beginning. Her love for her and her childhood sweetheart Higuchi Madoka were two extremes. Higuchi Madoka kept all her thoughts deep in her heart, fearing that others would know, while Asakura Toru took the bright road. All her love was open and aboveboard, fearing that you would not know.

Faced with this answer from the student council member, Sakakibara Kaede chuckled. The male protagonist stepped forward and held her hand. Seeing the shy smile on her plain face, Sakakibara Kaede naturally felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you for liking me."

"Feng, thank you."

The latter sentence was naturally said by Asakura Toru while he was lying next to Sakakibara Kaede's ear.

The first time they held hands, the first time they went on a date, the first time they kissed, everything seemed to go smoothly. He held her hand and they strolled in the sunshine of the snowy country.

The music gradually became lyrical and gentle, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on Sakakibara's face. Asakura Toru held down Sakakibara's hand which wanted to fast forward.

"Feng, how about we give it a try?"

Chapter 9 Want to kiss

"through..."

"Hmm, too fast?"

Asakura Toru pondered for a moment and nodded, "Sure enough, it will take some time before this can happen."

Sakakibara Kaede was a little embarrassed, and was really a little overwhelmed by Asakura Toru's attacks. It was embarrassing to play galgame with a young girl, but the girl next to him said vulgar words, which was another matter.

"Well, can I kiss you?"

Asakura Toru discussed seriously, or maybe this was not a discussion at all. She leaned over and gave the young man a light kiss on the face, then smiled with a slightly blushing face.

In this situation, her smile is still refreshing.

Sakakibara Kaede stroked his lips, and he finally smiled, "Thank you for liking me, Toru."

"You're welcome. And, no need to say thank you."

The doorbell rang. Asakura Toru stood up and stretched lazily with satisfaction. He put on a mask after showing a somewhat loose smile and said, "Let's eat."

The footsteps faded away, Sakakibara Kaede sighed softly, and stroked the hands that he had just clenched with Asakura Toru. He was silent for a moment, and looked at the scene where he woke up in the same bed with the student council girl the next day after the plot was skipped.

The face was not identical to hers, but her movements and expressions were very much like hers.

The cell phone on the table rang. The young man picked up the phone and stood up to leave. He glanced at the screen and found that it was an email.

It was a work email from Koichiro Yuuki.

Next Monday is the day for the new version information to be announced - Sakakibara Kaede has known this for a long time, and will meet everyone in the form of live broadcast. Sakakibara Kaede estimates that the number of people in the live broadcast room will be about six figures. This live broadcast work has nothing to do with him. He has already completed his work in the planning group, and he only needs to watch the live broadcast at home.

Going downstairs into the living room, Sakakibara Kaede found Asakura Toru unpacking something. At noon, they ordered takeout from a cheap Western restaurant. Although the food sounded high-end like pasta, pizza, and mushroom soup, the price was very affordable.

"Well, Feng." Asakura Toru looked at Sakakibara Feng. She glanced at the mobile phone in the young man's hand with the screen lit up, "Work?"

"Yeah, that's about right. I didn't expect that I would need to participate in the new version update live broadcast next week."

After sitting down, Sakakibara Kaede complained that what Yuki Koichiro explained was quite clear. Apart from him, only one other professional team member responsible for designing the plot and professional skills would be on the field, and that included him.

He will represent the entire planning team.

Although he had posted what he needed to post on Twitter and attracted traffic, there were always people who didn’t check Weibo. He had already thought about what he would say on the spot and what he would express besides the game.

I can organize the information I want to talk about the day after tomorrow tomorrow. Sakakibara Kaede picked up the fork and rolled up the pasta and put it into his mouth with a worried look on his face.

"Feng, are you worried?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I have work to do. Today is our first home date." Sakakibara smiled bitterly, shook his head and said,

Asakura Toru held his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up because of what he just said, but his tone was still so calm, "Feng, I don't mind."

I don’t mind that you have something on your mind, I don’t mind that you are thinking about other things at this moment, and I don’t mind that there are other people in your heart.

Sakakibara Kaede understood.

He shook Asakura Toru's hand in return and hummed.

After finishing the meal, the two continued to go upstairs to promote the student union members. The daily life between the two was peaceful and interesting, with a little sour and sweet candy flavor in between. The relationship between the two was not as vigorous as other lines or the spiritual pleasure gained by showing off one's pride, but the tranquility and warmth felt from the heart.

Did Toru Asakura confess? It seems that he did, but it also seems that he didn't.

She said that whether she said "I love you" or not is actually not important, she has already expressed her inner world through her actions.

The two of them pushed for the whole afternoon and completed the student union member line before dinner. Although they said it was before dinner, they actually didn't have dinner at all. Instead, they were attracted by the heartwarming plot and wanted to finish pushing before eating.

This situation often happens when reading novels or watching anime. If you don’t read the entire book or the entire anime, you will feel exhausted.

"Hey, what is this?"

After returning to the menu, Toru Asakura pointed at the screen and said, Sakakibara Kaede followed her finger and found a new option appeared above the memory mode.

Maple Snow Country+

"this is?"

"It looks like this is the entrance to the harem line."

Sakakibara Kaede pondered for a moment and said from the perspective of a galgame player who has played for many years, to be honest, Sakakibara Kaede couldn't think of any other possibility except this one.
