I live my life in Tokyo

The day's filming ended quickly with Kaede Sakakibara swinging her sword to show off. Chizuru Ichinose's tearful and affectionate look made many members of the filming crew nod their heads secretly, but only Kiyoshi Takenaka was not enthusiastic. However, he still stepped forward and gave a few instructions, and took the actors involved in the plot to review the original draft for the filming several times. After saying that a certain scene was not impactful enough, several people waved their swords again and filmed it again.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After the filming came to a temporary halt, Kaede Sakakibara handed the water she bought from the vending machine to Chizuru Ichinose who was taking a break. The girl was wiping the sweat from her neck. She thanked him softly, took the water, opened the lid and took a sip.

"Senior Feng is really amazing. He only did the movements twice and he was so skilled."

"Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"Senior Feng, do you have any self-awareness?"

Ichinose Chizuru snorted, as if she thought Sakakibara Kaede was being pretentious. "Senior Kaede's part only needs to be performed once to pass perfectly. In comparison, my part and that of the other actors will require more careful polishing."

After she finished speaking, there was a hint of concern in her tone, "Is the fight just now okay? I saw those apprentices from the kendo gym slashing their swords at you."

"It's nothing. I was wearing protective clothing, and they intentionally went easy on me. I didn't actually get hurt." Sakakibara thought about the members of the Orange Guild that appeared in this plot. They were all talented people with fierce looks. Sakakibara even doubted how the crew found these kendo apprentices with such distinctive looks.

Their looks are what make them suitable for this job. Even Uehara Yao, who has been crying and complaining that no one wants him because he is a yellow-haired man, is far inferior to them in this respect.

If I were a few years older, I would probably be mistaken for a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi when I walked down the street.

However, Sakakibara Kaede is not thinking about this now. He and Chizuru Ichinose are always separated because of the housing issue. Even among the five girls, Chizuru Ichinose is the most independent one - she is the same age as Sakakibara Kaede, the oldest among the five girls. Unlike the other four girls who have a good family background, Chizuru Ichinose had to work-study to enter the actor training class, and experienced all kinds of ups and downs.

So there are differences between people. The life trajectories of Chizuru Ichinose and Asuna Yuuki are like the South Pole and the North Pole. Chizuru Ichinose's parents are divorced, and she has lived with her grandparents since childhood. Now her grandmother is the only one left in her life.

"By the way, is grandma coming to our new home today?"

"Grandma keeps saying she wants to go to a nursing home." Ichinose Chizuru sighed softly, "Really? She said living with me would be a burden to me. I'm not a child anymore."

"Old people are all like this, afraid of becoming a burden to their children."

Sakakibara Kaede stood up, stretched, and patted Chizuru Ichinose's shoulder. "I'm going to change my clothes first, and then I'll pick up grandma later."

"Ah."

Ichinose Chizuru smiled.

After they changed their clothes, they unexpectedly found Iida Kei's car parked in front of the door. Sakakibara Kaede was speechless when she saw Iida Kei with a happy face. She usually took the subway to and from get off work and never saw Iida Kei. Now he is here, right?

It is impossible to be jealous of Chizuru Ichinose or something. After all, it is a bit inconvenient for grandma to travel by subway, which is not as convenient as a private car.

Iida Kei is indeed in high spirits now. After the two of them got into the car, he looked at the young man in the passenger seat with great interest and grinned, "Hehehe..."

"You're smiling like that... Could it be that you've taken me down?"

"Hehehe, that's right, I took that high school girl in." Iida Kei cleared his throat. He didn't want to act like a weird uncle in front of his favorite student Chizuru Ichinose. He was as serious as he was when he was alone with Kaede Sakakibara. "That high school girl has lived in an orphanage for a long time and has no nominal guardian. I temporarily transferred her guardianship to our agency. She is now receiving idol training and should debut as an idol next year. I see that she has some interest in acting. In the future, she can learn to be like Higuchi-kun and switch to acting."

"Good news."

"She is your big fan. The moment I revealed that I was your agent, she was moved." Iida Keizhi laughed complacently, and his appearance of taking advantage of the power of others made Sakakibara Kaede laugh and cry.

Chizuru Ichinose's grandmother has already packed all the luggage. As old people, they always take a lot of daily necessities with them every time they move. They did not buy any furniture when they moved in. Everything is ready, so there is no need to hire a moving company now.

Chizuru Ichinose's grandmother Sayuri Ichinose thanked Kei Iida repeatedly, but Kei Iida said he didn't dare. In front of Kaede Sakakibara, he looked like a greasy middle-aged man. Outside, he tried his best to act like a successful elite who would not bring shame to the agency.

Kaede Sakakibara and Chizuru Ichinose got out of the car and helped grandma carry the luggage into the car. Sayuri Ichinose held Kaede Sakakibara's hand, and the young man felt that the skin, which was as dry as a branch, was cool inside. It was autumn, the weather was not cold, but his hands were cold.

Every time I meet an old man, it is the last time I see him.

I once saw a multiple-choice question online. One option was to give you 5 million immediately, and the other option was to go back to 10 years ago with your current memories. The onlookers below left messages asking for 5 million, saying that they would feel sorry for themselves if they hesitated for a second. However, one comment said that they wanted to go back to 10 years ago to see their grandparents who were still alive and talk to them.

Some people immediately broke down and replied that they wanted to go back to ten years ago and spend more time with their mothers. Some people wanted to regain the affection of their deceased relatives in order to fulfill their filial piety.

The feeling of family love is when you walk among the thousands of lights in a metropolis, look back, and know that there is a light that belongs to you.

"Thank you, Feng. I'll leave Chizuru to you in the future."

Ichinose Sayuri smiled kindly, and Sakakibara Kaede held her hand tightly and nodded seriously in assurance.

After grandma got in the car, Iida Kei stopped acting rashly. He had a somewhat elegant air about him and from time to time told interesting anecdotes in the industry, which made Ichinose Sayuri laugh and also reassured her that Ichinose Chizuru would be fine in the future.

After driving for half an hour, the private car stopped at the foot of the tower. Kei Iida and Kaede Sakakibara picked up their luggage, showing their gentlemanly demeanor.

The advantage of being inside the tower is that Sayuri Ichinose can rest and walk around inside the building. Considering the elderly's health, it is better for her to try not to go outside.

Seeing her grandmother admiring the exquisiteness of the interior, Chizuru Ichinose pursed her lips. She slowly walked to the door and found that Kaede Sakakibara was talking to someone on the phone. She waited patiently for the young man to finish the call before walking forward and hugging him without saying a word.

"what happened?"

Sakakibara Kaede noticed that something was wrong with Chizuru Ichinose's mood from her slightly cold hands, and gently stroked her head, as if comforting an insecure sister.

"No... I'm just a little uneasy. Grandma..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but Sakakibara knew what she was talking about. Grandma had been hospitalized twice last year, once for a fall and once for a cold. When people get old, every illness is a serious injury. If this continues... Chizuru Ichinose didn't dare to think about it.

She knew that day would eventually come, but in her heart she prayed that day would never come.

"So, spend more time with grandma. Me too."

"Ah."

Chizuru Ichinose wiped away the little pearls from the corners of her eyes, but they still fell uncontrollably. What she needed now was not a kiss. This girl who had always wrapped herself in a strong shell just wanted a hug now.

After holding her for a while, Chizuru Ichinose will become her original self again.

Sakakibara Feng comforted her like this, touching her head over and over again, using his warm palms to tell her that he was always there.

Sayuri Ichinose did not show up. Perhaps she was arranging her and her granddaughter's clothes, or perhaps she just wanted to provide the two of them with some space to be alone.

Chizuru Ichinose shyly held Kaede Sakakibara's hand and returned home. As if she wanted to hide it in front of her grandmother, she smiled and began to pack her things. Kaede Sakakibara also helped her. The old lady sat on the sofa, watching the two of them walking back and forth with a smile.

The doorbell rang, and Sakakibara Kaede stretched her arms. She looked on the screen and found that it was Asakura Toru. . . Behind her stood Sakurajima Mai and Higuchi Madoka - well, except for Yuuki Asuna who was at school, all the other girls were present.

"Hello... We are here to visit you."

The four girls all had gifts in their hands. In Japan, after moving into a new home, people usually give gifts to their neighbors. After getting along well with them, the relationship between neighbors will be much better in the future. This is an unavoidable unspoken rule. However, in high-end tower buildings that symbolize privacy, there are still very few people who keep this habit.

Chizuru Ichinose had originally planned to send gifts to the other four sisters, but she didn't expect that they would outsmart her.

Toru Asakura didn't seem surprised to see Sakakibara Kaede here. She smiled at Sakakibara Kaede, and when she handed the shopping bag to him, she took the opportunity to take advantage of the young man's hand and shoulder, then walked in and said hello.

Higuchi Madoka was no longer concerned about this kind of scene, of course, that's how she looked on the surface. After changing her shoes, she pulled Sakakibara Kaede's collar and stood on tiptoe to put her head close to hers.

After the light-speed contact, she wiped her mouth expressionlessly and glared at Sakakibara Kaede, "Pervert."

Sakakibara Kaede was speechless. Sister, you came up to me on your own, what does it have to do with me?

When he saw Sakurajima Mai's face with a distorted smile, cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Kiss me, I'm happy?"

"Ahem, nothing happened."

“But I see you are smiling.”

Sakurajima Mai snorted unhappily, put the shopping bag on the ground, and put on the slippers handed to her by Chizuru Ichinose, whose face had been flushed since a while ago. Before entering the living room, she pointed at Kaede Sakakibara's face and said, "Wait for me tonight."

The way you said this feels a bit like saying don't leave after school.

They didn't just do nothing when they came. They helped to tidy up things and chatted with Sayuri Ichinose. When the grandmother saw that her granddaughter had so many good sisters, the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out with a smile.

Even if she passes away in the future, Chizuru Ichinose will definitely not feel lonely because she has her sisters and Kaede Sakakibara to accompany her.

Grandma Ichinose cooked dinner herself, with Chizuru Ichinose, Mai Sakurajima and Enka Higuchi helping her. Grandma Ichinose made several delicious dishes that belonged to the Ichinose family, and according to the old lady, they were grandpa's favorite food at the time.

Kaede Sakakibara tasted Grandma Ichinose's cooking and was amazed.

"Eat slowly, there's more." Sayuri Ichinose glanced at her granddaughter who was eating with a slightly red face. She then raised her head while wiping her glasses and looked at the girls sitting at the dinner table chatting about their recent work. She breathed a sigh of relief and decided to let the children decide their own affairs.

Chizuru Ichinose felt that it was too embarrassing to say in such an occasion that the dish that Kaede Sakakibara had just eaten was made by her. What's more, there was also Toru Asakura who had been communicating with her with eye contact since just now. She had not spent as much time with Toru Asakura as she had with Madoka Higuchi, so naturally she didn't understand what she wanted to express for a moment. She could only judge from her mouth shape what she was saying, the words "going downstairs at night".

The girl suddenly thought of something. She recalled the recent discussion in the strategy group (Successful Subjugation - Logging in Progress), and her ears suddenly turned red.

After they finished eating, Sakakibara Kaede helped wash the dishes. Ichinose Sayuri was tired, so she went back to the bedroom to rest, leaving the four girls in the living room watching TV.

Not long after, Sakurajima Mai pulled Higuchi Madoka away. Before leaving, they both glanced at Sakakibara Kaede with a scrutinizing look, and the latter even glanced at Sakakibara Kaede with a look of looking at trash. Only Asakura Toru was left with his fingers entangled in Ichinose Chizuru's beautiful hair.

Compared to brother Toru Ikemeng's Takarazuka, Chizuru Ichinose is like a junior high school girl who is being teased and dares not talk back.

Chapter 30 I Want to Be by Your Side

I want to be by your side.

Hearing the whisper of the person beside him, Sakakibara Kaede suddenly woke up from his sleep. He was actually a very deep sleeper, and usually he would not wake up even if there was a thunderstorm, but for some reason he woke up tonight.

Was it because the night's scenes with the phoenix and two phoenixes were too exciting, or was it because something was worrying him that made him suddenly wake up in the darkness?

The panting sound of Chizuru Ichinose was heard beside her. Sakakibara Kaede groped in the dark and gently put the arm of Asakura Toru that was wrapped around her neck back into place. He couldn't have woken up because of the difficulty breathing caused by Asakura Toru.

Kaede Sakakibara got out of bed quietly, breathed a sigh of relief, and went into the bathroom to use the toilet.

After a quick wash, Sakakibara Kaede couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he went to the living room, poured himself a glass of water, and stood in front of the window. Outside the window was the sleeping city of Tokyo.

The future is still unknown, which makes people look forward to it, but also fearful. The only thing that remains unchanged is that he knows that he is already heavily in debt, and he will have to work hard to earn money for milk powder.

He had to admit that he was a scumbag, and he didn't want anyone to leave. . . This might be the idea of ​​those harem men in the second dimension. Unknown to him, he had become the person he most desired to be.

Sakakibara Kaede doesn't want to arrange their future because that is their life. All he can do is create a harbor for them where they can rest at any time.

He once again thought of the post from ten years ago.

In addition to stories about family affection, there are also people who go back ten years to buy real estate, buy coins, invest, and buy CSGO accessories and skins.

Sakakibara Kaede has invested some of his salary over the years in the market. After he has a certain amount of money, starting a business while being an actor is not an impossible option. He has a wide network of contacts, so it would not be a bad idea to attract young people to become shareholders.

Thinking of the chat records with Shirogane Miyuki, Sakakibara Kaede pondered. He vaguely revealed some news about his girlfriend. He wanted to give her a better life in the future, and Shirogane Miyuki must work hard!

"Senior Feng..."

Hearing the sound, Ichinose Chizuru yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Why are you not sleeping so late at night? What happened?"

This sentence reminded Kaede Sakakibara of the conversation his parents had in the past. When his father went to the bathroom at night, his mother, who had a light sleep, would always be woken up. She would mutter a few words of dissatisfaction, and then fall asleep again after feeling his warmth when he returned to bed.

Thinking of his past life, Sakakibara Kaede grinned. Sometimes he wanted to pour out everything in his heart, but unfortunately, he didn't have that opportunity.

"Nothing, I was awakened, and after going to the bathroom I couldn't fall asleep for the time being."

In the dim light, he came to the sofa and sat down.

Ichinose Chizuru muttered, took a few steps forward and sat down next to Sakakibara Kaede. As soon as she sat down, her body leaned diagonally on the young man, like a fragrant slime all over her body.

Chizuru Ichinose has a fashionable scent. Her family is not well off, so she pays great attention to matching when dressing up, so that she can wear the most beautiful clothes with the least money. Of course, she has long stepped out of the dilemma of her part-time job, but her body fragrance has never changed.

Mai Sakurajima is confident, sunny, but with a thorny flower scent. Madoka Higuchi is a rose that blooms silently in the corner. Asuna Yuuki is a lady from a rich family, with an elegant scent that belongs to a young lady. Toru Asakura is casual, with a scent that belongs to the wind and the sky.

"Does it still hurt now?"

“Hmm… Perverted Kaede-senpai.” Chizuru Ichinose was still a little confused at first, but when she heard these words, her ears turned red reflexively. She punched the young man’s chest with her little fist in annoyance, and her actions showed intimacy and coquettishness that had not been there before.

The young man smiled and wrapped her fist around him, squeezing it gently.

"Chizuru, there are still many things I don't know about you. For example, the food I cooked tonight was really delicious." The young man looked into Chizuru Ichinose's eyes and said softly, "In the future, we will live together. I want to know more about you, what you are thinking, and your inner emotions and thoughts."

Ichinose Chizuru also stared into Sakakibara Kaede's blue eyes. She muttered softly, "This is really unfair."

"I also want to know more about Feng Senior, understand Feng Senior's past, understand Feng Senior's thoughts, and understand Feng Senior's interests and hobbies."

"The road ahead is long, Chizuru. Can I walk with you?"

Chizuru Ichinose blushed. These words sounded like a young man's proposal. She closed her eyes slightly and a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.

Then, the girl smiled and opened her arms to Sakakibara Kaede.

The young man extended his hand and shook it back, interlacing the fingers of both hands.

"kiss Me."

"Ah."

There was no conversation that night. After chatting in the night, the three of them were greeted by a refreshing morning. Chizuru Ichinose changed her clothes in front of Kaede Sakakibara with a blushing face and left with the key. She spent the night at Asakura Toru and Higuchi Madoka's house last night and had to rush back immediately this morning. She didn't want her grandmother to find out, although... It wouldn't matter if she was found out, but the occasional teasing might make her brain burn overload - she still had to go to university for classes today.

Higuchi Madoka half-reluctantly slept in Sakakibara Kaede's bedroom yesterday.

"Aww."

Asakura Toru bit his bread and glanced at the morning news. Today's breakfast was prepared by Sakakibara Kaede. It was too much to expect Asakura Toru, a lazy man, to cook. Higuchi Madoka took an advertisement this morning and left early with Miss Sato. Sakurajima Mai had to go to an early class today, and Yuuki Asuna also had an early reading, so only the two of them were left at home.

Having said that, Kaede Sakakibara still had to go to school after eating, but his classes started later.

"how do you feel?"

"Well, at first I was a little uncomfortable." Asakura Toru took a sip of milk, paused seriously, then smiled coolly with narrowed eyes, "But I was very happy afterwards."

"I didn't ask you how you felt last night, I was asking you if my cooking skills have improved!"

Sakakibara Kaede knocked on the table and complained silently. Although it was just a simple fried egg with ham, a simple dish could be made into a supreme delicacy. He was going to try this dish at Totsuki Academy!
