I live my life in Tokyo

Sword Art Online on TV is also broadcast at the perfect evening time.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large amount of CGI. Flying from the ground to the sky and popping your head out of the foggy forest, the world becomes so clear.

"In 2022, humans finally saw virtual reality."

That is the castle flying in the sky——

The camera zoomed in, showing half of Sakakibara Kaede's face. He looked out the window and saw the figure of his sister.

"Brother, I went out for exercise~"

Mai Sakurajima nodded, "Nakano-san's acting has improved a lot."

Sakakibara Kaede said: "I think so too. She is very talented in action performance, which is very similar to Kashima-san. It's just a pity that the first plot is not her specialty."

The topics all revolve around the actors' acting skills, and the plot is not discussed that much, because they are actors and the plot is just something used to embellish their acting skills.

Yuuki Asuna and Asakura Toru watched with great interest. Sometimes when they saw the exciting parts, they would leave their chopsticks in the air and forget to eat.

"Senior Feng's sword skills are so powerful." After seeing Sakakibara Feng use a cool sonic impact to defeat the novice monster boar, Yuuki Asuna praised with a smile.

"Movement training is indeed difficult." Sakakibara Kaede coughed. He said this on behalf of Mai Sakurajima and the others. He had some basic skills, so he could swing the sword as he pleased in the TV series. He could even pass it within three takes during the actual filming. Later, there were more complex skills. . .

"I have to get a massage every day after filming a TV series, otherwise my waist can't take it."

Asakura Toru said, "You need to take good care of your waist."

Higuchi Yuanka glanced at Asakura Toru. Although this sentence sounded normal, she always felt that there was something strange in the words of her childhood sweetheart.

The final scene was Sakakibara Kaede running alone on the road out of the city. He used a clean and sharp magic sword attack to kill the wild wolf. The wild wolf turned into fragments and floated in the air. He shouted hoarsely to the sky -

"The CGI part is very well done. The monsters and the town look very real. It looks like a well-made movie." Mai Sakurajima only appeared for a short while in the first episode. She gave an objective evaluation, "Fans on the Internet don't have to worry about it now. This is really a waste of money."

Kaede Sakakibara agreed with her point of view. He saw Yuuki Koichiro's investment in this TV series, and he was also honored to be able to participate in such a work.

After the meal, a few people chatted while Sakakibara Kaede was responsible for washing the dishes. This was his habit. No matter which girl's house he ate at, he would eventually take on the job of washing the dishes. This was not bad, at least it made him feel more involved.

Sakurajima Mai wanted Sakakibara Kaede to continue pushing the galgame, and the other four agreed. Sakakibara Kaede's objection was invalid, and she was taken into the bedroom to continue pushing.

The young man sighed repeatedly, picked up the mouse and continued to follow the plot.

Last time we talked about the male protagonist who couldn’t sleep at night and went into the hot spring instead of taking a bath. He met five girls who were also whispering to each other. Then the five girls confessed their love to each other one after another and the male protagonist fainted.

When the male protagonist Feng woke up, he found that he was sleeping in the room of the B&B with his clothes on. Feng was very curious about who gave him the pants to wear.

He was somewhat doubtful whether what he saw last night was a dream, so he walked towards the squad leader to test it out.

"Like? What are you talking about?!"

The monitor's face flushed, and his cold eyes seemed to treat the male protagonist as garbage—

"——So what if I like you? Didn't you hear it clearly?"

The next moment, the squad leader's voice softened.

"Haha."

Asakura Toru laughed.

Even Mai Sakurajima couldn't keep her poker face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. This is too similar.

Higuchi Yuanka's face flushed red, and her eyes looked like she wanted to kill someone.

Sakakibara Kaede took a look and didn't dare to look again. He was afraid that he would be the next victim.

What followed was the process of the male protagonist confirming to the female characters one by one. In the end, he himself found it a little unbelievable that he was liked by five girls at the same time, and he liked them all equally.

Recalling the scenes of getting along with the five girls, the male protagonist Feng was sure that he wanted to give them happiness.

The music gradually slowed down, and Sakakibara Kaede's smile gradually disappeared. After his classmates, junior high school girls, and part-time workers came to his house for a study session, their faces gradually turned red, and they shyly held his hands...

"--abnormal."

Higuchi Yuanka stretched out her foot again and stepped on the young man's back without hesitation.

Sakakibara Kaede suffered social demise again. This time, she didn't jump over HS in front of one person, but in front of five people!

Asakura Toru asked, "Hey, studying, don't you need it?"

Higuchi Yuanxiang's ears were also burning, and she just wanted to cover her childhood sweetheart's mouth. Yuuki Asuna covered her face. She didn't expect that senior Toru would be so bold and straightforward, which made the eldest lady Yuuki Asuna feel a little uneasy.

"Can I leave?"

"no!"

Higuchi Yuanxiang said coldly, "Don't even think about leaving today until you finish pushing it."

"You, you are unreasonable." Sakakibara Kaede was stunned.

Higuchi Yuanka glanced at him and snorted, "Girls don't need to be reasonable."

Oh, cowhide.

After fast-forwarding, Sakakibara Kaede breathed a sigh of relief. The plot of a galgame is usually tight and loose, and the HS scenes also need to be laid out. He doesn't have to worry about HS for the next while.

But you can only escape for a while, not for a lifetime. When I went out on a date with the class monitor and a member of the student union to play video games, we didn't know when it started snowing.

When Sakakibara Kaede saw the snow, her face suddenly turned pale. When she saw that the university train was not running, her face turned completely black. When she saw that the sky outside the window was completely dark, her hand that was operating the mouse was shaking.

The right time, the right place and the right people, all three are present.

"--abnormal."

Mai Sakurajima stretched out her leg again and stepped on the young man's back without hesitation.

Kaede Sakakibara felt that he should get a back massage after finishing this game. After being stepped on, he felt like his acupuncture points were being stepped on, and he actually felt a little unsatisfied.

The three of them found a hotel to stay in, and then Sakakibara Kaede started to jump into the plot.

Chizuru Ichinose stared at the screen bravely, learning from the experience shared by Toru Asakura, while Madoka Higuchi was cursing something while looking at herself in the game with a critical eye. How shameless!

After reading the final chapter, Kaede Sakakibara breathed a sigh of relief. This difficult journey can finally come to an end.

As for the last five people, HS also skipped them. He felt his waist was a little sore after sitting in the same position for a long time.

"We're done. It's getting late now. You should go to bed early."

Turning around, he saw five girls staring at him. Sakakibara Feng said helplessly, "I want to stay here too, but I don't have any spare clothes."

Yuuki Asuna whispered, "I remember there were clothes in Kaede-san's closet..."

Sakakibara Kaede looked at Yuuki Asuna speechlessly. Even this lovely young lady has become rebellious?

"Well... tonight, Yuanxiang-chan and Tou-san will sleep in my bedroom, Asuna-san and I will sleep in Asuna's bedroom, and Chizuru-chan, you will sleep in Kaede-senpai's bedroom." Sakurajima Mai quickly decided on the bedroom allocation, which was considered to be swift and decisive. After she finished speaking, she looked at Sakakibara Kaede with a smile, "Kaede-senpai can sleep wherever he wants."

Another fire, the young man felt a headache watching Mai Sakurajima who was fanning the flames like a little devil, "I can just sleep on the sofa."

"Be careful of night attacks tonight~"

"Hey!"

What would Asakura Toru do if he really heard this?

Sakakibara Kaede felt like the lion with a scowl on his face on the Internet, looking miserable and miserable.

When the five girls entered the bathing center to wash up, Sakakibara Kaede finally stopped pushing galgame. He moved his computer to the living room and sat on the sofa to work.

I took a look at Twitter and I knew without even looking that one of the trending searches was Sword Art Online. I clicked on it and saw that both fans of the TV series and players of Sword Art Online were discussing it enthusiastically, talking about the anti-routine plot that captured everyone's heart with just one episode, and talking about the excellent CGI production. They all praised the powerful cooperation between RECT and Toei, and the animation that cost a lot of money made everyone feel like watching a science fiction movie.

Naturally, many people visited Sakakibara Kaede's Twitter, and they knelt down to beg him to quickly shoot the next episode.

The young man laughed. Sword Art Online was launched as a game. Not only were the members of the Blood Knights guild rapidly typing away and chatting about the plot, but there were also people signing up to join the team on the recruitment board to chat about the plot. The location for accepting the preview mission for this version of Aincrad was packed with people. It was so crowded that he couldn't even click on the NPC and could only click on the question mark above his head.

Sakakibara Kaede felt proud to be loved by so many people. He closed the screen with a smile.

After reporting to Mrs. Konno, Higuchi Madoka left the bathroom wearing a thin T-shirt and bare feet in slippers. Now it was his turn to wash up.

The bath water was ready, and Sakakibara Kaede did not refuse their kindness this time. She soaked her whole body in the hot water and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really tired today.

I was tired physically and mentally, and it was stressful to be watched by five girls while playing games.

Before this, Sakakibara Kaede still felt guilty about the harem, but today when he saw and heard the five girls express their inner thoughts so frankly, a big stone in his heart was put down.

Just live like this, with them.

Sakakibara Kaede had never seriously thought about what the future would be like before. He just wanted to enjoy himself in the present.

Generally, when a boy has this kind of thought, it is when he has a girlfriend, and he will seriously plan their future - Sakakibara Kaede is no exception. He feels heavy in his heart, but what he pretends to be is the sense of responsibility as a man.

Sakakibara was originally tense, fearing that some girl would come in and attack him without martial ethics. He was referring to Chizuru Ichinose and Toru Asakura who had had this experience before, but they did not show up until after he finished washing. Sakakibara nodded secretly. They were also tired today, so they must have grown up.

I don't know why, but I feel relieved.

The girls' bedroom doors were not closed because the air conditioner was turned on at a high temperature, but it was too cold with the door closed. Sakakibara Kaede took a look in front of the three bedrooms and found that the five girls were breathing calmly and seemed to be asleep.

He then returned to the sofa and leaned comfortably on the pillow. The faintly twinkling stars outside the curtains seemed like the best hypnotic light.

Kaede Sakakibara fell asleep with expectations for the future.

Chapter 17: You only give slack to others, right?

After washing up as usual, Sakakibara Kaede looked at herself in the mirror... Why were there circles of lipstick on her face and neck?

Did anything happen after he fell asleep last night?

Fortunately, it was just lipstick, and Sakakibara had to go into the bathroom to shower and wipe off the red mark. Who was the culprit?

It couldn't be that he drew it himself, right?

"It was haunted last night."

Sakakibara Kaede came to the dining table where the five girls were eating breakfast without looking around. The young man said with a stern face.

"Haunted? Senior Feng must have had a nightmare, how could it be haunted?" Sakurajima Mai frowned and said without comment.

"Can't you tell the difference between dreams and reality? I suggest you go back to sleep for a while." Higuchi Madoka frowned and snorted.

"Senior Feng looks a little drowsy from sleep." Asuna Yuuki said softly, wiping her lips.

"Just... what I mean is, Senior Feng wasn't secretly playing games last night, right?" Chizuru Ichinose made a firm conclusion.

Sakakibara Kaede looked left and right, and finally looked at Asakura Toru. She was staring out the window with her chin in her hand. When she noticed the young man's gaze, she turned her head and smiled, "Last night, there was a night raid."

"Ehehehehe——"

The other four girls were instantly furious at Asakura Toru's traitorous behavior. Asakura Toru smiled and pointed at Sakakibara Kaede's lips, "Yesterday, I kissed here."

The young man was speechless for a while, and saw Asakura Toru being dragged into the bedroom by Higuchi Madoka for severe punishment. Ichinose Chizuru and Yuuki Asuna followed behind them with pink faces. He sat down, and Sakurajima Mai served him rice, grilled fish and miso soup. Sakakibara Kaede took a sip of the soup, hmm, it was still a familiar taste.

Although there had been some good-natured disputes just now, Sakakibara Kaede was now in an exceptionally calm mood.

"There aren't many times when five of us can get together like this."

Mai Sakurajima sat opposite him, supporting her cheek with one hand, watching Kaede Sakakibara wolfing down the food and chuckled.

"Yes, it's rare that we live together on weekends."

Sakakibara Kaede nodded in agreement with Sakurajima Mai's words. The five girls each had their own different lives, and it was really precious to be able to have points of intersection in their busy city life.

Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru are childhood sweethearts, and they are both freshmen in the Faculty of Economics.

Mai Sakurajima and Asuna Yuuki didn't have much in common during their school hours, so they lived together after school and naturally became like sisters... After Chizuru Ichinose moved into the building, the five of them were finally able to live together in a sense.

"Are you free next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I want to go back to Chiba once." Sakurajima Mai held the teacup and blew a mouthful of floating tea leaves. "Third, fourth and fifth are the school festivals of Sobu High School."

She saw Sakakibara Kaede chewing fish, and kicked him under the table, saying with dissatisfaction, "Aren't you going to say something at this time, Kaede-senpai?"

"Can I invite you to the school festival, Mai-san?"

"That's pretty much it."

Sakurajima Mai sneered, but she seemed to be in a good mood. She stretched lazily with satisfaction and stood up, "Yuuka-chan, Chizuru-chan and I are going out today."

"We're going to practice at Mr. Miyamoto's dojo, right?"

Next week's filming plan will be the first dungeon boss they challenge in Sword Art Online. Both fans and players of Sword Art Online are looking forward to it. For the latter, they feel that they can see the boss's attack output axis and the transformation form, whether it is steel or moon ring, in just one episode.

"Are you coming?"

"That's fine, but it would be too pitiful to abandon Tohru-san and Asuna-san."

"Well... then we'll all go."
