I live my life in Tokyo

"The video says to add two spoonfuls, so add two spoonfuls first and let me taste it. Yuanxiang likes it a little sweet, so I'll test it."

"What a loving couple."

Higuchi Madoka walked towards the living room indifferently. Sakakibara Kaede and Asakura Toru, the two people least likely to cook, were busy in the kitchen. It seemed that they had almost finished cooking the other dishes, and all that was left was the seasoning for the soup.

This feeling is similar to the scene in the past when I would go downstairs after a hard morning work and take a nap to find my mother and Mrs. Asakura cooking dinner together.

This warm feeling belonging to family made Higuchi Yuanxiang's mouth curl up slightly.

"Yuanxiang, did you sleep well? Wait a moment, the last soup will be ready soon." Sakakibara Kaede smiled at Higuchi Yuanxiang.

He was woken up by the alarm clock. After getting up, he found that Higuchi Madoka was sleeping soundly. He knew that today's shots would be quite tiring, and she needed to wake up naturally after a nap, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable for the whole afternoon if she was woken up.

He went to the kitchen to identify the ingredients, and then searched for cooking videos online. Fortunately, he found a video creator from Totsuki Academy and learned a few simple and delicious home-cooked dishes. After Toru Asakura came back, he asked her to help, but she was just an assistant.

Higuchi Yuanxiang sat down at the dining table. She looked at the table full of dishes and blinked in surprise.

"Hey... Feng-san is the kind of person who can do whatever he wants."

"Thank you for the compliment. After all, I can't always be treated by you, right?" Sakakibara Kaede was not very happy after hearing the compliment from Higuchi Madoka. He picked up the soup spoon and tasted it. Higuchi Madoka had been making lunch boxes for him for more than a year, and he was just making a meal, which was not a big deal.

"Feng, are you going to be a househusband?" Toru Asakura asked, leaning on the sofa with his arms.

"It's not impossible. You guys work so hard outside. If I happen to be unemployed, why don't I cook?" Sakakibara Kaede said solemnly.

"And then she was kept by the Yukinoshita family?"

Higuchi Madoka asked coldly.

Sakakibara Kaede was stunned, "Why are you talking about the Yukinoshita family?"

"Mai-san told me." Higuchi Madoka's face turned red at the look in Sakakibara Kaede's eyes. She lowered her eyes and took a sip of the cool barley tea. "Kaede-san will not have to worry about food and drink in the future. It's really a cause for celebration. Mr. Playboy's life is complete."

"That will definitely not happen."

Sakakibara Kaede didn't know whether to laugh or cry, wondering what fabricated story she had heard from Sakurajima Mai. He picked up the soup, and Asakura Toru divided the chopsticks and soup spoons for the three of them. The three of them sat at the table with their hands clasped together.

"I'm gonna start now."

Daily life remains unchanged. Although the relationships between people have changed, the pattern of life has not changed.

While eating dinner and watching TV, the two occasionally talked about interesting things that happened at school or at work. However, today Sakakibara Kaede and Higuchi Madoka were working together, so they could only listen to Asakura Toru.

Both of them knew that Toru Asakura was not very good at telling stories, but they still listened patiently to Toru Asakura's description of the delicious sushi takeout in the studio this afternoon.

After washing the dishes, the three of them sat at the table again, which was covered with homework. Sakakibara Kaede did not bring his computer today. He used his mobile phone to confirm that there were no work emails, and there was nothing in the RECT group that needed his help. Since he started filming the Sword Art Online TV series, Yuuki Koichiro exempted him from his work in the bug group and the planning team, allowing him to get more rest time during the filming.

The employees and their superiors who work with Kaede Sakakibara have no objections. Rather, the thing they look forward to most every week is seeing their colleague Kaede Sakakibara doing the trivial things in the game designed by everyone.

If there really is a game called Sword Art Online, would you wear a helmet?

Sakakibara's answer was that he didn't know, but if he didn't know the background story, a game lover like him would probably put on the helmet without hesitation to experience what full stealth technology is.

This is getting off topic. Koichiro Yuki specifically told him in advance that he didn't have to worry about anything in the Sword Art Online game during the filming period. The filming period did not count as a vacation. Koichiro Yuki still paid him double his salary.

But from the very beginning, Sakakibara Kaede helped Yuki Koichiro not for money, and it is still the same now.

“Well, I don’t understand this.”

"Oh, okay, let me see."

Sakakibara Kaede took the notes from Higuchi Madoka and continued speaking along her lines.

Asakura Toru tapped her chin with a pen. She persisted for a while, then fell on the table with a thud.

The two of them have become accustomed to Asakura Toru's appearance. When she is not studying, she is very energetic. But when it comes to studying or when she is studying, her mental exhaustion is like the burst after eating Wallace, which disappears like a flood and never comes back.

"Feng, where are you going to sleep later?"

"I can go back to sleep. My bedroom is upstairs."

Sakakibara Kaede continued speaking along the lines of Asakura Toru. There was nothing wrong with what he said. His bedroom was upstairs, and all he had to do was ask Sakurajima Mai or Yuuki Asuna to open the door for him.

"no!"

Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru said in unison.

Sakakibara Feng groaned, "No, do you really want me to sleep on the sofa?"

"I have a bed." Higuchi Yuanxiang said lightly, "Kaede will rest in my bed tonight, and Asakura and I will sleep."

"No, you can sleep at my place. Higuchi can also sleep with me."

After Asakura Toru finished speaking the last word, the living room fell into an eerie silence. Higuchi Madoka blushed slightly. She glared at the grinning Asakura Toru and finally snorted, "Since it's Asakura's wish, let's sleep in her bed today, the three of us."

"Eh?"

"What? Asakura's bed is a big bed, and two or three people can sleep on it." Higuchi Yuanxiang frowned and glanced at Sakakibara Kaede, as if questioning why he said such a stupid thing. "Hina and Koito have slept on it before, and it's totally enough for them."

"Is it a problem of sleeping?"

Sakakibara Kaede complained calmly.

Asakura Toru burst out laughing, and she walked to Sakakibara Kaede, leaned over and kissed his face, "We are lovers now, these are just trivial matters."

"I'm going to take a shower. I'm a little tired today."

Sakakibara Feng felt the warmth on his face and was speechless when he saw Asakura Toru fleeing from the living room. "You haven't finished your report yet!"

The answer he got was Asakura Toru waving his hands vigorously.

Sakakibara Kaede was speechless. It was the first time she saw someone escaping with such an excuse. How could he sleep when he hadn’t even finished writing the report?

However, Higuchi Enka is still there, and Sakakibara Kaede feels comforted by this discovery.

"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight, or in your bedroom."

"You think we're kidding?"

"I really feel like there's not enough room." Sakakibara Kaede sighed, "The last time I carried Toru into her bedroom, the bed could only accommodate two people at most. How could a third person fit in?"

"Give it a try and squeeze it in."

Higuchi Madoka said lightly, she changed a pen refill for herself and continued writing and drawing in her notebook.

After Toru Asakura finished washing up, she did not continue to stay in the living room to complete her report, but slipped directly into the bedroom.

Sakakibara Kaede had a headache, but although Asakura Toru was a little lazy, her scores were still good because she was a genius and as long as she studied hard, she could quickly master the knowledge points.

The young man also has the ability of photographic memory, so neither he nor Asakura Toru is competitive. Sakakibara Kaede knows Asakura Toru's learning method, so she doesn't give him any instructions at this time.

Higuchi Madoka was the second one to enter the bathroom to wash up. Sakakibara Kaede continued to sit in the living room for a while, and then went into the bathroom after she finished washing.

He didn't bring any spare clothes today, but what he was wearing today was a white short-sleeved T-shirt that Sakurajima Mai bought for him online. It could be worn outside or as pajamas at home.

Seeing that Higuchi Madoka had left bath water for him, Sakakibara Kaede felt it was a waste to drain the water, so he stood in the bathtub after taking a shower, then slowly sat down and took a long breath.

Until now, he still doubts whether he is dreaming, and worries that if he blinks his eyes, he will be back in the rental house in Chiba in the next second. He worries that these three years have been just a dream, and when he opens his eyes, he will have to face the risk of running out of food and the daily necessities of life.

Sakakibara Kaede bit his finger and felt pain. It seemed that it was not a dream.

After ending this rather childish thought, Sakakibara Kaede finished her bath, washed her body again, changed her clothes and left the bathing center.

He turned off the lights in the living room and the corridor, and walked along the corridor to the end. A faint light was visible under the crack of the door. Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The young man pushed open the door.

Higuchi Madoka and Asakura Toru had already rested in bed, the latter lying on the pillow with his eyes half-closed, looking very tired. Higuchi Madoka was somewhat alert after a good sleep, but she was not fully awake yet, and believed that she would fall asleep quickly as soon as her head touched the pillow.

They were all wearing ordinary pajamas and the loose T-shirts that ordinary people wear at home, but the well-proportioned curves of their bodies were faintly visible under the light.

Higuchi Madoka has a facial mask on her face. As an idol and actress, these are what she should do. Women dress up to please themselves. Living with Sakakibara Kaede every day, she naturally wants to keep herself in the most perfect condition.

"Feng, come quickly."

Asakura Toru patted the center of the bed, looking a little confused, smiling a little silly.

"Do I sleep in the middle?"

"Well, what else? You've accepted the harem, but you have the desire but not the courage to do it?" Higuchi Madoka sneered and provoked. Asakura Toru's mouth corners curled up even higher, and he quietly pinched Higuchi Madoka's wrist, secretly expressing a thumbs-up gesture.

"this..."

When Sakakibara Kaede closed his eyes, he was just sleeping. Why should I be afraid?

As the last light in the bedroom went out, Higuchi Yuuka closed the curtains, leaving only the dim light from the phone charger in the room. Sakakibara Kaede was the second to get on the bed, lying in the middle, and immediately heard Asakura Toru's panting in his ears - he felt that Asakura Toru did it on purpose.

Then, Higuchi Yuanka also lay down beside him, and yawned facing him, with her breath blowing into his ears.

This is a live broadcast of ASMR, Sakakibara Kaede thinks so. The two girls blew air into his ears, and it really has a bit of the feeling of those popular ASMR of beautiful girls sleeping with men that are sold online.

The breath was getting closer and closer, and then it was close to his ear.

"Chirp."

Sakakibara Kaede got goosebumps all over his arms. He had to admit that the damage was too great. He was a little dazed at first, but now he was completely awake.

Asakura Toru let out a mischievous laugh. She moved forward and brought Sakakibara Kaede's arm to her chest so that he could feel the softness.

Higuchi Madoka did the same, but her actions were a little rougher.

Can you sleep tonight?

Chapter 3.0 Purple Dream ver

"abnormal."

"..."

"What are you looking at me for, Mr. Pervert?"

"But didn't Yuanxiang half-heartedly accept it last night?"

"abnormal."

Today, Higuchi Madoka transformed into a sharp-tongued superhero. From the moment she went out in the morning and went to the workplace with Sakakibara Kaede to shoot today's scenes, her face under the mask remained rosy. She glared at the young man next to her fiercely and gritted her teeth.

Thinking of what happened last night, Higuchi Madoka's face was burning, and she just wanted to stamp two gums on Sakakibara Kaede. Of course, Asakura Toru was no exception. If she hadn't hand-in-hand with Higuchi Madoka to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Sakakibara Kaede, Higuchi Madoka would have fallen asleep long ago.

She was awakened by Asakura Toru in a half-asleep state. In the darkness, she could only see his eyes that showed a hint of success in a prank. Of course, Higuchi Madoka couldn't help gritting her teeth just thinking about the next action. She remembered clearly that when Sakakibara Kaede was pushing the galgame harem line, Asakura Toru paid special attention to those parts that were not suitable for children, calling it learning. His actions last night were exactly the version of the class monitor and the student council members.

"Well, I was wrong yesterday."

Sakakibara Kaede couldn't sit still when he thought about some ridiculous things that happened last night. Although he didn't lose his virginity, he saw what he should see and touched what he should touch. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't resist the two girls. Asakura Toru said that Noctchill would shoot a MV in a week, and it would be bad if it affected his physical condition.

Compared to the old driver Toru Asakura, Higuchi Madoka is a real good girl. She joined Toru Asakura in the beating of Sakakibara Kaede with half a curse, and finally tasted a strange-tasting liquid.

Sakakibara Kaede was a little embarrassed. He coughed and forced himself to focus on today's scene.

He knew that this was just the beginning. With a legitimate harem, he had to take care of the emotions of each girl. It was impossible to treat them equally. Sakakibara even wanted to reread the history books to find out how the emperors in history opened their harems. For the girls who loved him, Sakakibara also needed to exercise well. He had learned about this from Asakura Toru's sudden attack last night.

The two got out of the car and approached the shooting location. Higuchi Madoka had already calmed down. After taking off her mask, she glared at Sakakibara Kaede angrily, and the blush on her face had long disappeared.

Kaede Sakakibara's apologetic smile in the car also ended. He was very serious at work. After following the staff into the locker room to change clothes, he waved the wooden sword as usual and did some warm-up.

When he saw the muscular men in green screen suits not far away, he was immediately shocked. Damn, is today's plot about a fight?

He was worried and came to Takenaka Kiyoshi, pointing from a distance at those people holding wooden swords and wooden knives, as if they were a group of apprentices pulled from a kendo hall. The light in his eyes flickered, and he was about to rush up and kill people in the next moment.

"Ahahaha, don't worry, Sakakibara-kun, you and Higuchi-kun are the protagonists in this scene today, nothing will happen."

Takenaka Kiyoshi's smile was bright, and there was a hint of laughter behind his tone, but he managed to suppress it and put on a stern face.

He glanced at Sakakibara Kaede and said in surprise: "Sakakibara-kun looks refreshed today, what happened?"

The relationship between Sakakibara Kaede and Takenaka Kiyoshi is more like that of workplace friends than that of an actor and a director. It's not to the point of being close friends regardless of age difference, but they can still chat and joke around.

The young man sighed. How could he tell such a thing?

But he did sleep very soundly last night. Although his arms were pressed by two people, he felt the beauty and warmth created by the distance between people.

"more or less."

"Well, everyone else is here, let's start filming."

Kiyoshi Takenaka nodded without comment, clapped his hands, and arranged for the filming crew to start filming.

Sakakibara Kaede stretched and greeted several actors who played university club members in the TV series. After chatting for a while, Higuchi Madoka also came.

Noticing that Higuchi Madoka wasn't staring at him, or looking at him with trashy eyes, Sakakibara Kaede knew that she had entered the actor's mode, and now she just needed to act according to the script. When her eyes stayed on Sakakibara Kaede, he could sense a hint of nostalgia, and the feeling of having found someone to rely on for the rest of his life.

Although this is a TV drama, Sakakibara Kaede feels a bit of reality. Does Higuchi Madoka think this way in real life?

Sakakibara Kaede couldn't find the answer, but he hoped that Higuchi Madoka could see him in this way and regard him as a reliable man.
