I live my life in Tokyo

"No...it's not a trouble." Miura Yumiko pulled up a smile. This was the culprit who wanted to take away Sakakibara Kaede's virginity. She must bring him to justice - although she really wanted to do so, she couldn't help but feel discouraged when she thought about the background of Yukinoshita's family.

"Xue-no-chan, why didn't you say hello when you saw your sister come back?"

"Welcome back."

"You're so cold. I'll go change my clothes. I bought some beer tonight to celebrate our housewarming. By the way, please welcome Miura-chan to be our guest~" Yukinoshita Haruno hung her coat at the entrance, put the beer bag in her hand on the dining table, winked at Sakakibara Kaede, and quickly entered the room.

Yukinoshita Yukino's face became even colder, as if a snowstorm was blowing in the kitchen.

Yumiko Miura shuddered and silently took a few steps away from Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita Haruno changed into a set of home clothes and returned to the living room. She sat down on the sofa with a "hi" and glanced at Sakakibara Kaede who was sitting on the single sofa.

"How does it feel to move here? Talk to your sister."

“Except for the more convenient transportation, there is no other difference.”

Sakakibara Kaede curled her lips. She was not impressed by Yukinoshita Haruno's mask. The other party failed to succeed in the charm test. "Is senior Haruno very busy at work?"

When Yukinoshita Haruno heard him asking about her work, she didn't mind sharing. She had an inexplicable feeling of being cared for, which was not a bad thing.

"Dealing with business matters, investments, meetings, Feng-san doesn't want to know about them, they're all boring stuff."

"I want to hear what you have to say."

"Well... okay then." Yukinoshita Haruno curled her short hair with her fingers and laughed.

Yukinoshita Yukino listened silently in the kitchen without stopping her hands.

This is a world she has never been exposed to, and it is the responsibility her sister has taken on for her.

The news broadcast sounded on the TV. The four of them sat at the dining table, looking at the sumptuous food in front of them. They put their hands together and said at the same time, "I'm starting."

"Comfortable--"

Yukinoshita Haruno took a sip of beer and poked Yukinoshita Yukino's perfect profile. The latter glared at her sister and ate in silence.

There is some difference between her and Hiratsuka Shizuka. Hiratsuka Shizuka is an out-and-out alcoholic, while Yukinoshita Haruno can drink a lot, so she has to exercise for drinking and dinner parties.

While her father and mother maintain the Yukinoshita family in Chiba, she is alone in creating the family's future in the vast land of Tokyo.

Sakakibara Kaede observed the way the Yukinoshita sisters ate. They didn't talk much while eating, just like the ancient families who ate without talking. Their movements with chopsticks were also very graceful, chewing slowly, and it looked like they were from a family.

However, Kaede Sakakibara still prefers more lively dining tables, such as those of the Higuchi family and the Asakura family.

After eating, Kaede Sakakibara put the dishes into the dishwasher. There were a lot of dishes today, and it was unknown how long it would take to wash them by hand.

Yukinoshita Haruno received a work call, winked at Sakakibara Kaede, and left the living room and returned to her bedroom. This is the working rhythm of a strong woman.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Miura Yumiko returned to the second lady's bedroom, and Sakakibara Kaede accompanied them.

Miura Yumiko's academic performance was not particularly outstanding. She was definitely beaten by the second young lady in terms of IQ, but as for EQ... the two were about the same! But she managed to get into the University of Tokyo.

"Yumiko, do you understand here?"

"I almost understand." Under the careful guidance of Sakakibara Kaede, Miura Yumiko's learning speed has indeed been much faster, but her head is indeed a little hot. Yukinoshita Yukino said it was wisdom fever. Sakakibara Kaede thought she might have caught a cold and thought it would be better for her to go home early.

"Where does Yumiko live now?"

"Well...it's pretty close, three blocks away."

"It's really close." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and said, "It's so close, are you planning to launch a night attack?"

"Who! Do you think everyone is like you two sisters who want to eat Senior Feng?"

Yumiko Miura's voice was very loud, but it couldn't break through Yukinoshita Yukino's iron wall.

"But Yumiko, you really should go home earlier."

Sakakibara Kaede suggested, "It's still quite cold at night in the spring. It would be bad if you catch a cold. How about this, I'll take you home."

"Hey, hey, will Senior Feng send me off?"

There were little stars twinkling in Yumiko Miura's eyes.

Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly: "I'll give you one too."

"Could you please, Yukinoshita, give me a ride?" Miura Yumiko immediately became alert.

"It's very convenient. I have already learned what I need to learn. I also reviewed the knowledge points after listening to Sakakibara-senpai's talk just now."

She emphasized the word "review" a little more. Miura Yumiko's face turned red, and she made a few "Pooh" sounds and left the second lady's bedroom.

"Yukinoshita-san, are you really going to send Yumiko off?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.

Yumiko Miura's residence is indeed very close to here. According to the girl, it is also close to her eldest sister's house, so if anything happens, they can take care of each other.

Sakakibara Kaede walked behind, listening to the silent conversation between Miura Yumiko and Yukinoshita Yukino who were walking in front, and looked up at the night sky.

Hope summer comes soon.

He wanted to see the sea again.

The three of them walked for about ten minutes, and Miura Yumiko stopped in front of a high-end apartment. She looked at the two of them and said, "Um, Kaede-senpai, Yukinoshita, see you tomorrow."

I heard the change in Miura Yumiko's tone when she addressed the two of them. There was a big difference between the gentle tone when she spoke of Kaede-senpai and the cold tone when she spoke of Yukinoshita.

"See you tomorrow."

Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly.

The two were walking on their way home.

"How do you think the first day of school is going, Yukinoshita-san?"

“There’s no difference between high school and college.”

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Sakakibara Kaede asked with raised eyebrows.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked straight ahead, "There are many stupid people who don't know it. They have been there since kindergarten. It wasn't until I entered college that I realized they had never disappeared."

"fool?"

"Not the stupid type like Miura." Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly, "When I was in elementary school, I often couldn't find my flute and indoor shoes in my locker. After searching, I found that the girls in my class hid them."

"They are fools and fools at the same time."

Sakakibara Kaede sighed inwardly, isn't this bullying?

"So what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. I felt like saying anything to them would be a waste of my time."

Sakakibara Kaede was silent for a moment, "Yukinoshita-san, you don't have no friends, do you?"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and glanced at Sakakibara Kaede, "Sakakibara-senpai and I are friends."

"Forget it?" Sakakibara Kaede was not sure what exactly constituted a friend, but when he heard what Yukinoshita Yukino said, he felt that not admitting it seemed a bit too aggressive, and he immediately broke the other party's defense.

"Sakakibara-senpai, why do you want to be an actor? Can you tell me more about your reason?"

"Tell me again, have I ever said that before?"

"I did." Yukinoshita Yukino looked back, and her dark eyes showed a strong emotion called determination. She said, "When Sakakibara-senpai participated in the reality show and joined Dream Apartment, he said why he wanted to be an actor."

Sakakibara Kaede remembered it when she mentioned it.

He raised his head again, and the sky above him was no different from that time, full of stars.

"Because of me, my existence, the world has changed a little bit."

“Is this your dream?”

"Yes, if I must say, my dream has come true." Sakakibara opened his arms and embraced the spring night. "My performances and my songs can make people feel a lot, make them start thinking, and make them become better versions of themselves."

"But I am still a little greedy. I think I can do better and influence more people. I want to tell more people what their choices are and what their future will look like."

"That sounds really greedy."

“Dreams require greedy thinking. They are not something you can boast about, but something you need to practice seriously. When the right wind comes, we spread our wings and fly. If there is no wind, as long as we have strong enough wings, we can still fly. The most important thing in life is not what you have accomplished, but how you accomplished it.”

"Sakakibara-senpai, do you think you are perfect?"

"How is that possible? Just in terms of acting, there are many seniors that I need to learn and imitate. As for singers, those veteran bands are better than World Shining in terms of sales and popularity." Sakakibara Kaede shrugged, and there was no sign of depression on his face.

"Are you not unwilling?"

"Yes, I do. If I keep thinking like this in my mind, I'll get pissed off. So I don't usually think about it."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled somewhat helplessly. He was not a perfect superman. When others looked at him, they had a fan filter but didn't know that he also had troubles.

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to smile.

"I miss Yui a little bit."

"—"

She turned around, looking extremely lonely.

Is her loneliness caused by her personality? Sakakibara Kaede has no way of knowing, but he vaguely knows the conflict between the two sisters.

What would an average person do if they met a sister who was always better than them in every aspect? They would either become her supporter, or just lay down after a few failed attempts - Sakakibara Kaede is probably such a person.

But Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to give up.

The strong were suppressed by the stronger ones and became the "weak ones". After more than ten years in this high-pressure environment, they were defeated every day and were tormented and laughed at. It was already good enough that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't get depressed. She still wanted to consider showing up and defeating her sister? The possibility is really small.

As for this pair of sisters, Kaede Sakakibara can't think of any solution at the moment, it's a dead end.

Although the two lived under the same roof, reconciliation was unlikely.

A person whose values ​​and outlook on life are profoundly influenced by his environment and self-esteem.

Sakakibara Kaede thought sincerely.

New book, My Entertainment Life in Tokyo

Music, novels, paintings, the second dimension...are both entertainment and art.

I'll write a song "The Clock in the Reverse Direction" for Higuchi Madoka, who regrets her whole life, a song "Finally Waiting for You" for Asakura Toru, who has been running away all the time, and a song "Canon D" for the sharp-tongued Yukinoshita Yukino...

In this world where art and entertainment represent everything, Hisaishi Yu gradually becomes the king of entertainment.
