I live my life in Tokyo

"OK."

Inviting classmates to listen to an idol concert together is indeed a good activity. I heard Yuuma Miura say before that her sister is quite popular in the class, so isn't this a reflection of that?

Seeing that the time was almost up, the boy quit the Yuzushe Galgame on his computer, and exited the game along with the hard drive.

After organizing a few lines of practice code in the folder, the boy put on his schoolbag, threw the finished drink into the trash can, and turned off the air conditioner.

As the "three-good" student with the highest attendance rate in the programming department since the start of the school year, the boy naturally took charge of the opening and closing duties every day.

After checking the power supply in the room, the boy locked the door and left the teaching building with brisk steps.

He felt good after just one week in college, but now it seems that his life is packed. He has classes in the morning, works in the programming department in the afternoon, and goes to work at the Starlight Cafe after club activities. He goes home after having a staff meal at night.

Filming and auditions mean that he will temporarily put aside one of the three, and currently the one he put aside is mostly the coffee shop - they are not that short of staff.

The housekeeper in charge of logistics understood his job, and the store manager, Miss Siji, also wished him good luck in his work.

Met a nice group of people.

Pushing open the door of the cafe, the boy looked at the beautiful women sitting at the bar, dressed fashionably and wearing expensive jewelry, and a respectful yet enthusiastic smile appeared on his face.

In the past, one of his dreams was to open a coffee shop, play different kinds of music in the background every day, hum a song or two occasionally, wipe coffee cups behind the counter, and become a quiet handsome man.

It's good to have dreams, but they can't be too abstract.

After working all night, Kaede Sakakibara woke up the next day feeling full of energy. She stood up to greet the first rays of morning glow in Bunkyo Ward, glanced at her phone, and lay down to take a nap.

After sleeping for about an hour, the boy reluctantly got out of bed at the urging of the alarm clock.

Finally, there was room for a single bed in his small bedroom.

After turning off the electric fan that had been blowing all night, the boy yawned and went downstairs.

As he went to work at the Starlight Cafe, his breakfast also became Westernized. Originally, it was a large Chinese bento with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Now, it is a small Western meal. For example, today's breakfast is a sandwich.

Put fresh vegetables, red and green, on the toast, add a thick egg, a few slices of bacon and some meat, and finally finish with some special sauce.

While the microwave was working, the boy turned on the TV, letting the spirited voice of the news anchor fill the slightly dull room.

After breakfast, the boy pulled out the bamboo sword standing in front of the entrance, pushed the door open and went outside. Exercise has become a part of his daily life.

With one sword, he cut off the cherry blossom petals that were blown down by the wind. The petals were not split into two, but were cut from the cross section. One petal turned into two pieces and scattered in the morning spring breeze.

A few sword swings create the most beautiful cherry blossom rain.

The boy holds a sword, under the cherry tree, with a brave heart and a keen mind.

Chapter 8 Waves on the Stage

It was the last time the boy treated his friends when they went out with them.

Don't be funny, he treated me to a barbecue after the college entrance examination.

Among friends, it is common to reciprocate. Today you treat me to a meal, and tomorrow I treat you to a meal. It is really casual.

The man stepped off the train and squinted his eyes at the direct sunlight. If the weather got any hotter, he wouldn't even want to go out and would just stay at home and stay at home.

There were many teenagers of similar age to the boy on the train, both boys and girls, all wearing uniforms of their favorite idol groups. Some had colorful scarves tied on their heads. There were also some fanatical fans who printed their autographs or photos directly on their T-shirts and walked off the train in a swagger.

The boy was found wearing a blue and white outfit with a sky blue wristband on her hand. Judging from the color, it should be the peripheral products of Higuchi Madoka's group.

We moved to another platform in the station, until the next train arrived, the door quietly opened, and another group of fans crowded in and walked towards fes in groups.

"Good morning, Sakakibara-senpai."

Mai Sakurajima's main color today is white. Unlike the tight outfits in winter, today's outfit is very suitable for the current season and is relatively loose.

The tight white dress easily reveals her well-proportioned figure, and paired with low-necked blue sneakers, she can attract people's attention and become the focus of everyone at just one glance.

"Good morning, Sakurajima-san."

The two of them adopted a non-work address. The boy glanced at his phone and said, "It's still early. I thought Sakurajima-san would arrive later."

The new semester has begun. Mai Sakurajima still lives in Chiba Prefecture for academic reasons. Although her work requires her to spend a lot of time on transportation every day, she has a special car picked up by her agent and does not have to squeeze into the subway. During breaks, she can relax by checking her phone in the car.

"Thank you, Sakakibara-senpai, for waiting for me."

Mai Sakurajima thanked her very honestly.

She put on a mask and quickly followed the crowd to the boy's side. Her big indigo eyes stared at the boy's eyelashes. "Where should we go to wait for someone next? To the entrance of FES?"

"Let's go meet up with Takeda Uehara first."

The boy shrugged and said that he had already decided on a meeting place with the two of them. After all, it was impossible to find someone in a place like a train station where people frequently came and went.

"By the way." The girl called the boy before leaving, her eyes flashing with smiles and a little expectation, "Sakakibara-senpai, what do you think of my outfit today?"

The boy hummed, looked the girl up and down, and slowly intoned, "The top is flawless white, the shoes are sky blue, and the color combination is blue and white. You are here to cheer for Higuchi-san's idol group, right?"

He nodded and pointed to his unchanging white shirt and blue jeans. "What a coincidence, I'm wearing these two colors today. Higuchi-san and her idol group members will definitely be very happy."

"These are the only two pieces of clothing in Sakakibara-senpai's closet, right?" Mai Sakurajima stared at the boy suspiciously, her eyes full of distrust.

The boy chuckled. He was too disdainful to answer such questions now!

Isn't this a question you ask even though you already know the answer?

They walked out of the station and were scalded by the rolling waves of people. The sun was not as hot as in summer, otherwise the boy would have wanted to go straight home.

Following the flow of people, the boy greeted Mai Sakurajima and two young men who were waiting a few blocks away from the FES.

Uehara Yo and Takeda Hiroshi stood together, waved and greeted Sakakibara Kaede and Sakurajima Mai, and Uehara Yo walked up and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Why do you look like you're sleep deprived?" The boy looked at them suspiciously, and coughed as if he had thought of something. "I say, you weren't so excited that you couldn't sleep last night."

Uehara Yo pretended to be angry, "Do you think we are elementary school students looking forward to the spring outing?"

"I think so. You have very dark circles under your eyes." The boy snorted disdainfully and put his hands in his pockets. "The schedules for TV series and movies on the market are so full lately that I can't even get an audition for extras. Could it be that you spent the whole night studying some script?"

There is a basis for saying this. Mai Sakurajima has not received any auditions for TV dramas or movies recently. Her fame makes it difficult for her to get extra roles like the one where civilians were killed that day. Recently, she can only run to different commercial sets every day.

"I worked the night shift yesterday, what a coincidence!" Uehara Yao responded coldly.

"But it wasn't your turn yesterday, was it?" the boy said with a wry smile.

Several friends in the group posted their work schedules in the group, so that it is convenient for everyone to make arrangements to meet for dinner or something.

"..."

Takeda Hiroshi left for a while and just came back with a few FES introductions in his hand. He distributed them to the three people standing, "I heard that several idol groups participating in LoveLive will also be here. If we want to watch, we have to pick a good seat."

The three of them looked at Takeda Hiroshi at the same time.

The latter coughed lightly, staring with wide eyes, glaring angrily, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't expect that you, Takeda, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually like idols as much as I do." Uehara Yao held Takeda Hiroshi's hands tightly and shed tears of emotion.

The boy concluded: "People always pursue perfect things, and the singing and dancing performance on the stage today... is undoubtedly perfection."

Sakurajima Mai glanced at the three people who were deeply touched and reminded them, "Let's go to the entrance of the FES first. Sakakibara-senpai has invited several high school students today, and they may be waiting anxiously."

The three of them nodded at the same time. Uehara Yao took out his mobile phone from time to time to take selfies while walking, and couldn't help sighing when he looked at the deep dark circles under his eyelids.

When will Toradora and Tiger: Dragon Ball be adapted into a live-action film? Uehara Yo, who is eager to play the role of Gao Xu Long Er, can't wait.

At the entrance, the three successfully met up with Kashima Yu. They looked at each other's attire and smiled, all wearing the same blue and white color scheme.

It’s no secret that Yu Kashima has a penchant for dressing in men’s clothing, as she dresses exactly like several boys.

"Where's Brother Miura?" Uehara Yao tiptoed, looking for another group of golden-haired people in the crowd.

After the boy dialed Yuuma Miura's number, he heard that they were all waiting under the signboard to avoid the sunlight. Based on this clue, they successfully reunited.

Their arrival also successfully caused a small burst of exclamations.

Yuuma Miura heard the excited gasps of his sister and several classmates behind him, and walked forward with a smile and nodded to everyone.

The actors whom he had seen on the TV before were now standing in front of him. Yuma Miura greeted Mai Sakurajima and Yu Kashima respectfully.

The circles of these people are different. Although they belong to the same firm, they don’t have many opportunities to meet each other in normal times. They occasionally meet in the lounge, but they are just casual acquaintances.

"Um...thank you, Sakakibara-senpai."

With a ruddy face and shy eyes, Miura walked up to the boy with youthful steps, "Sakakibara-senpai, thank you for the ticket..."

The fact that the usually strong-willed blonde queen was as shy as a little girl in front of the boy really shocked her classmates, but their eyes quickly became filled with longing and enthusiasm. Obviously, at the queen's recommendation or on their own initiative, they all watched the youth-related "Us: Daily Life of High School Students".

I don't know why I felt a little touched when I saw the actors being so approachable.

"It's okay. The more friends we have, the more fun it will be." The boy smiled, counted the number of people, and handed the ticket to the still hesitant Miura Yumiko.

Miura's classmates were easy to identify, two boys and four girls. Among the four girls, the boy nodded to the black-haired lady whom he had met once, and his eyes moved past the pink-haired girl and returned to his friend.

Thinking of how excited she was the last time she saw her idol, the boy was no longer surprised. He also had to adapt to this as soon as possible.

"What do we say next?" The boy nodded and smiled at the blushing Miura sister, and asked sideways, "Let the young people play whatever they want? Shall we go cheer for Higuchi-san?"

Seeing his sister's conflicted look, Yuuma Miura knew that she actually wanted to stay with her idol and listen to his every word, but at the same time she wanted to watch her favorite idol group, so he said in a gentle voice, "Let's split up first and then gather together for lunch at noon, how about that?"

This idea was agreed by everyone. Seeing this, Yuuma Miura nodded to Miura sister and winked quietly.

Miura Yumiko snorted softly, secretly glanced at her brother as a disguised thank you, and then led her classmates into the crowd.

"Ah - it's really hard, being a popular man." Uehara Yo's lips pouted like a Nike hook, and his tone actually sounded a little aggrieved. "Look at those high school students with youth in them, all of them are looking at Sakakibara and Sakurajima-san."

"After all, I am a running young man, the symbol of youth, do you understand..."

The boy shamelessly added, but before he could finish, Mai Sakurajima raised her hand and interrupted, "Arnold, the performance of the Higuchi-san group is about to begin~"

Before the two people's conversation turned into a crosstalk, Sakurajima Mai wisely cut off the conversation. Several people took the fan support sticks from Takeda Hiroshi and left in the opposite direction of Miura Yumiko and others.

In addition to Noctchill, where Higuchi Madoka works, STARS has many other idol groups, some of which are famous and some are lesser-known. Today, in addition to Noctchill, there are several other idol groups owned by the agency.

The performance of Higuchi Yuanxiang and others was in the morning. A few people squeezed through the crowd and entered one of the venues - they arrived neither too early nor too late, most of the fans had already taken their seats, and special effects lights kept moving on the stage.

"Sakakibara-senpai, have you ever been to an idol event before?"

After taking her seat, Mai Sakurajima curiously asked the boy sitting next to her.

Although they are seated, the seats here are all plastic chairs placed in the square. If the weather is hotter, I feel that these chairs will melt on the spot.

These are the chairs that are found in idol open-air venues, so it’s unrealistic to expect the comfortable reclining chairs found in high-end movie theaters.

"Nothing in person." The boy fanned himself with the slightly larger venue and the brochure of the idol group. With the cool breeze, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I saw quite a few on TV. After all, there are quite a lot of variety shows in the evening."

"Do you remember the host Takeuchi Kei-san we met last time on Tonight 007?"

Mai Sakurajima leaned forward and moved closer to the boy. The waves of people made her feel a little hot, and it was not illegal to get some fresh air.

The boy hummed, fanning himself a little more and leaning back in his chair.

"Are you talking about the TV show Music Dawn hosted by Takeuchi-san? Yes, idol groups usually appear on that kind of music show when they release new songs."

Feeling the artificial cool breeze, Sakurajima Mai smiled and put on the white wide-brimmed hat she carried with her, covering her sun-baked head and her shining face.

"This is the prelude." Takeda Hiroshi opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, and burst out with a terrifying brilliance, "They... are coming."

"Brother, you've made me a little scared." Uehara Yao complained.

The prelude sounded and the boy narrowed his eyes.

Before coming, he looked up information about the Higuchi Madoka group on the Internet and found out that the four of them were really childhood sweethearts as rumored, and he also looked up the meaning of the idol group's name.

Noctiluca and the English word "relax" combined together, we get Noctchill.

The promotional video shows the transparent sea water, the blowing sea breeze with a slight salty taste, and the girls chasing the surging waves, like a green breeze.

"Goodbye, we who were once transparent."

The sea breeze blew in his face, and the boy looked towards the main stage, and found four girls in blue and white performance costumes dancing on the stage.

The four girls have completely different body shapes and facial features, but at first glance, you can tell that this is a group.

Or, it could be said that it is the bond between childhood sweethearts.

"Isn't this a very pretty smile?"

The boy looked at Higuchi Madoka's warm smile when facing her fans, and couldn't help but sigh, as this was far from her performance when she played the second female lead in the graduation advertisement.

But he also knew in his heart that this smile... might be a mask.

A mask similar to Nishida Orange... No, perhaps even stronger than Nishida Orange.

"As expected, Yuanxiang-chan is very different from usual."
