I live my life in Tokyo

Toei.

Director Kiyoshi Takenaka finished a day's filming, but his work was not over yet. After rushing back to the office at the speed of light, he quickly transferred today's filming into the computer and went into the audio-visual room to watch it alone.

He looked over and over at the young man waving a kitchen knife to resist in a panic, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

Operating the TV remote control, Takenaka Kiyoshi changed a roll of tape and watched it.

This was the plot of last week's Taiga drama. Near the end, the overly young ronin warrior was also protecting the girl behind him. His sword skills were sharp and realistic, and his body was agile. Although he died in the end, he left a deep impression in Takenaka Kiyoshi's mind.

"Takeshi, what are you looking at?"

The slightly plump middle-aged man gently pushed open the door and saw that the room was extremely dark. Only the large screen was constantly playing pictures of young people. He turned on the light.

"Mr. Arakawa."

Kiyoshi Takenaka immediately stood up and nodded to the middle-aged man Toshihisa Arakawa who entered the room.

Toshihisa Arakawa nodded and greeted him. He came and sat down next to Kiyoshi Takenaka, watching the young man on the screen swinging his sword with great vigor.

He looked at it for a long time. When the scene ended and the general's daughter hugged the young man and sobbed, she smiled and said, "I know this actor. His acting skills and acting style have improved."

"My granddaughter used to talk about the TV series every day, and we, the older generation, naturally listened to it and kept it in mind."

Arakawa explained, then he looked at Takenaka Kiyoshi and said slowly, "Takenaka, after the will-o'-the-wisp in midsummer, are you free in the autumn?"

"Are you going to shoot something? I have no problem with that." Takenaka Kiyoshi explained quickly, "I don't have any tasks in the fall and winter. Does Mr. Arakawa have any plans?"

"I have already started writing the script, and I need your cooperation and participation in the fall."

Toshihisa Arakawa slowly stood up and walked to the window. He paced slowly and opened the curtains.

What comes into view is the fiery red sunset.

The setting sun cast a shadow over him, and Arakawa Toshihisa turned around, "Toei has decided to restart 'Kamen Rider'."

"The last time we filmed it was five years ago. The young people who watched it at that time have grown up, and the children who first watched Kamen Rider should have grown up and become parents."

A stag beetle was enjoying the warmth of the sunset on the tree outside the window, stretching its shell.

It shook its head and flapped its wings to fly towards Arakawa Minoru.

The TV screen began to replay the video again, freezing on the smile of the young ronin samurai.

"Please let me join!"

Chapter 37: The Value of Top Students

"call--"

Listening to the reassuring evening news report coming from the TV, Sakakibara Kaede dried her body, blew her hair, and closed the doors, windows and lights on the first floor.

Leaning on the bed, the fatigue of the day also came with it.

But it was too difficult to make him fall into a deep sleep like this.

The boy's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He took out the Nintendo handheld game console, inserted the game card, and quickly familiarized himself with the buttons with his hands.

He named his follower cat Hongdou, and a world slowly opened up before him.

In the past, he used to be a great swordsman. A man should wield a great sword.

But now Kaede Sakakibara wanted to change his taste, so after choosing the most popular weapon, the katana, the boy quickly started his first mission.

The initial task is simple. After you become familiar with the combos and successive moves, the challenge of hunting small animals comes.

After a perfect block, Sakakibara Kaede quickly harvested the head of the large monster.

After he got the money, he quickly bought materials in the initial town and started making paralysis traps and sleep balls.

The hunting journey went smoothly, and the boy yawned and took on the task of hunting the female fire dragon.

There was no connection up to this point, and hunting a female fire dragon was not easy. He thought about it and sent out a signal for help.

Putting down the game console temporarily, Sakakibara Kaede stood up and poured himself a glass of water. After changing the TV channel to a comedy show, he returned to the bed and looked at the handheld console.

"Wow, they're here so quickly?"

But think about it, this Monster Hunter game has only been released a few days ago, so it is normal to be crowded at night.

The boy's eyes swept across the characters with the IDs Asuna, Yuuki, and Mite, and he controlled his own character to step forward and greet them.

"Please give me your advice."

The boy’s ID is Qingfeng, which is very ordinary and his gender cannot be identified.

A swordsman walked into the depths of the forest.

Live! Live hard!

Asuna used a one-handed sword, Yuuki had two swords on her back, and Mite wielded a one-handed shield axe.

Okay, okay, this one is a sure thing!

The boy approached the female fire dragon with a grim smile and slashed at her tail with his sword.

Tail, stay here!

The female fire dragon was frightened and flew into the sky, spraying flames mercilessly at the four attacking people.

Asuna was hit, and she rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire. Mite then stepped forward and used a diversionary strike to temporarily attract the female fire dragon's attention. Yuki went behind the female fire dragon and used the double blades in his hands to attack her tail frantically.

What is Qingfeng doing?

He is getting a pedicure.

Don't be in a hurry, it takes time to sharpen the blade. Before, Sakakibara Kaede only played with the greatsword, and all he had to do was charge up the power, charge up the power, and charge up the power again. Now that he has switched to the katana, it also takes some time to practice.

"Take my Dragon Slash!"

The boy laughed excitedly, and as the red blade was opened, his figure stepped on the body of the female fire dragon and soared up. The blade in his hand flipped, and the red blade slashed at the female fire dragon without mercy.

The female fire dragon seemed to have foreseen something. She flapped her wings and flew into the air. With a gorgeous somersault, she gave Asuna and Mite, who were attacking at her feet, a big bite.

"Wozhi——"

The man was in mid-air when he was whipped away by the female fire dragon's tail. The boy cursed in pain as his Ascending Dragon Slash was interrupted. He was frantically controlling the interface. At this time, his health was low and he was also poisoned.

The boy flipped through the grid and finally found the antidote.

He drank while running, without changing his perspective, and ran straight into the fire-breathing female fire dragon.

dish.

A faint red word floated above the boy's head, and the screen immediately went black.

Sakakibara Kaede put down the game console, patted his cheeks with his cold fingers, got out of bed and drank two sips of water to calm his nerves.

He is a cat.

His glorious reputation was ruined.

Returning to the bed, the boy clenched his fists slightly as he looked at the indifferent expression Asuna sent him.

The boy who quickly arrived at the battlefield immediately joined the pedicure battle. After sharpening the blade several times, the blade quickly turned red. The boy's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he held the sword in both hands and raised it above his head.

"what!"

With a clear shout, the boy climbed up by stepping on the female fire dragon's face. While in the air, he turned the blade around and chopped straight down at the female fire dragon.

"Roar!"

With an angry dragon roar, the female fire dragon was furious. She couldn't move her hands and feet here, so with the roar, the shock wave drove back all the hunters.

The boy who continued to fly in the air was the first to be blown away and fell to the ground face down with a thud.

"I--"

Accompanied by the beautiful words that the boy had not yet spoken, the female fire dragon flapped its wings and flew to another area.

Yuuki and Asuna sent concerned expressions as if to show that everything was alright. The boy said nothing, sharpening his sword until it shone, ate a piece of barbecue, and set out on his journey for revenge.

In his eyes, his teammates no longer existed, only the dragon in front of him.

The female fire dragon kept provoking the boy, and the boy no longer had the patience to play dumb and eat the tiger. He stared coldly at the roaring dragon and clenched the sword in his hand.

Third-order instant, eight times the speed!

Qingfeng put away the red blade, his blue eyes flashed an arc of lightning in the air, and the female fire dragon's tail fell to the ground!

The well done emoticon made his eyes move slightly, but he still stared at the dragon silently. The blade was red, and the time to hunt had come.

“Eat my Ascending Dragon Slash!” The blade light fell vertically, the female fire dragon howled, and the dragon head fell heavily to the ground.

The boy made a handsome sword flower and sheathed the sword.

Poor hospitality.

He knew that his damage was not high, as Yuki and Mite were the ones who dealt the most damage to the tail and wings, but did he lose?

Swordsman, just be handsome!

Besides, this isn't an online game, is there a DPS check? Can teammates still go on alert?

Several people gathered there to dig for materials. The boy sent a thank you expression at this time, which was considered a positive feedback to the comfort they had given him before.

After returning to the village and seeing that several people had not left yet, Sakakibara Kaede took on the next task. It seemed that the other three were at the same progress and had similar equipment. This kind of hunting was interesting.

"Hehe, next time I hunt I will not be a cat for once and be a super god."

-

It naturally became difficult to get up the next day.

The boy yawned in front of the mirror and wiped his lower eyes repeatedly.

Finish all the initial tasks in one night and go straight to the higher-level tasks. This experience of staying up late to play games is too familiar and warm.

Continue next time.

Before shutting down the computer, he and three other good brothers added each other as friends, and continued playing online when they came back in the evening.

This is the charm of the game...

The boy looked at the dark circles under his eyes and was speechless for a long time.

I went downstairs and opened the lunch box prepared by Mrs. Higuchi. Unlike last time, this time there was too much salt in the scrambled eggs and the mushrooms were not cooked through.

Apart from these two points, it's harmless.

While chewing breakfast and drinking miso soup, the boy logged into the official account, reposted the new soda brand endorsed by Ken Sano, left a message, and then browsed other people's updates.

Several idol groups released new songs. Sakakibara opened the video, played the music loudly, stuffed a few uncooked mushrooms into his mouth, and went to the sink to wash the dishes.

After reading the email he received in the morning, he knew he had a filming assignment today, which meant he couldn't go to school to slack off.

The boy washed his face with cold water and felt a little more refreshed.

Pushing open the door, the boy walked for five minutes carrying the washed lunch box. After enjoying the slightly cool morning breeze, he knocked on the door of Higuchi's house.

After waiting for less than a few minutes, the boy finally found a middle-aged man he did not know who opened the door.

No, it shouldn’t be said that he didn’t know him. The boy had seen this middle-aged man in Higuchi Madoka’s family photo. This man was Mrs. Higuchi’s...

"Sakakibara-kun, right?"

The pillar of the Higuchi family held out his hand with a mature smile, "My name is Higuchi Masashi, I'm Yuanxiang's father, and my daughter has caused you trouble."

"Hello, Mr. Higuchi." Sakakibara Kaede shook hands with the middle-aged man with a polite smile, "Higuchi-san is my senior, but I have caused her a lot of trouble."

"You're here to return your lunch box, right? Come sit at my house for a while."

Higuchi Masashi invited, "I was away on a business trip a few days ago and just came back last night. I would like to take this opportunity to learn about Yuanxiang's learning progress."

"ha..."

Masashi Higuchi, a father who looks very approachable.

The boy half-heartedly walked into the house that Higuchi Masashi invited him into. After changing his shoes at the entrance, the boy entered the morning room of Higuchi's house.

"Ah, Sakakibara-kun, good morning." Mrs. Higuchi was busy in the kitchen. "Have you finished your breakfast lunch? Do you need anything to drink?"

"Thank you, Auntie. I've already had breakfast. Tea will be fine."

The boy said politely.
