I live my life in Tokyo

After all, light novels are meant to serve the public and to relieve stress.

This is probably why this love metronome is not popular.

In this light novel market, there are fewer and fewer people who can really sit down and write a work and who want to prove their worth. Most authors use more and more exciting and thrilling plots and the addition of heroines to make readers look forward to the next volume.

Again, this has to do with the reader.

After finishing the tea in the cup, the boy stood up and took the love metronome to the counter to pay the bill, then packed it and put it in the backpack he was carrying.

Everyone has their own preferences for pineapples and vegetables.

In the open-air square in front of the shopping mall, the boy saw Mai Sakurajima and Madoka Higuchi who were waiting. When the three of them saw each other's outfits, Mai Sakurajima just laughed.

All three of them were wearing sunglasses and baseball caps.

Well, it's not surprising that they dress like this in the summer of May, but the current situation does look a bit like gangsters meeting on the spot to make a deal.

"Good morning, Sakurajima-san, Higuchi-san," the boy greeted.

"Good morning~"

"morning."

Facing the sun, Sakakibara Kaede came in front of the two women, sat on the bench and stretched.

"Why do you look so tired? I didn't send many questions last night, did I?" Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly when she saw this.

The boy looked up at the sky and complained, "You just sent me all the wrong questions on the whole paper, and you...you're telling me now that there aren't many wrong questions?"

"I counted, there are less than a hundred questions." Sakurajima Mai raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Just over ninety questions, you can't do it?"

The boy waved his hand at her weakly. He looked very tired last night. He had four hours of tutoring and one hour of helping Mai Sakurajima with homework. After going to bed, he worked hard with three old acquaintances until late at night.

Fortunately, today is the weekend. If he still needed to shoot on a weekday, it would be like the end of his life.

Higuchi Madoka glanced at the smiling Sakurajima Mai and the resting Sakakibara Kaede with her eyes closed, then looked at her phone and started chatting with her childhood friends.

Not long after, Yu Kashima and Ken Sano arrived in batches, and their clothes were exactly the same as the three others.

"The movie is about to start, let's go."

For actors, watching a movie is not just about appreciating the original plot of the movie, but also a learning process.

The actors selected by Ken Sano for the police and gangster films are all veteran actors. Each of them portrays the emotions to the extreme, and these interpretations are something they do not have now.

A wonderful plot, leading actors whose actions and expressions are engraved in people's hearts, and a slightly desolate theme song.

Several people were still sighing outside the cinema.

"I really admire the originally righteous protagonist who gradually turned into a darker expression due to revenge."

"I'm pretty much the same. The villain is not just a villain. He also wants revenge, but due to some strange circumstances, he and the protagonist go down a completely opposite path."

Kaede Sakakibara and Ken Sano unraveled the plot and characters one by one, while the female trio discussed the portrayal of the female characters.

"The scene where the heroine cried while holding the hero's dead body was so shocking. I could directly feel the bitterness, reluctance and regret in the heroine's heart." Yu Kashima couldn't help but express himself.

"Yeah..." Higuchi Madoka nodded slightly.

Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "The part I like is when the heroine wants to confess but doesn't have time to tell the hero. It takes a very long time to get into the role to play the feeling of watching the hero sacrifice himself."

"I'm hungry, I want to eat." Kashima Yu followed.

The two men turned around and saw that the three girls were already shouting that they were hungry, so they ran towards the barbecue restaurant.

Sakakibara Kaede is an old acquaintance. Even though he was wearing glasses, the daughter of the front desk owner recognized him and greeted the five people warmly.

The boy is a connoisseur of grilled meat.

If you eat more, you will naturally bake more.

The meat slices were rolling on the grill, and the aroma of meat wafted in the air. Several people were wearing sunglasses and their vision was blurred.

It was really nice to hang out with friends from the crew. The boy passed the grilled meat to Kashima Yu who was swallowing his saliva, and then distributed it to everyone else one by one.

Dipping the barbecue in the sauce and putting it in their mouths, plus a bottle of Coca-Cola, the five people exclaimed in delight.

After eating barbecue, Yu Kashima enthusiastically followed Ken Sano and Kaede Sakakibara to buy men's clothing. Mai Sakurajima smiled at Madoka Higuchi, and they walked into the women's clothing area one after another.

The young lady who was receiving the trio leaned back, and in front of her was a group of three radiant people, who could totally serve as ambassadors for a brand.

The boy's eyes moved on the clothes racks. Ken Sano brought them to a mid-range, nearly high-end brand store. The clothes here were of fine quality and had unique designs. For today's young people, they could afford to buy one piece of clothing by working in a convenience store for a month.

His eyes fell on a white high-necked windbreaker.

Spring and autumn style.

If he buys this dress, he will become the god of pure love.

Chapter 39: I am so rude, I am the God of Pure Love

"call out--"

Ken Sano whistled at the man who walked out of the fitting room.

At this time, Sakakibara Kaede was wearing a white high-necked windbreaker on her upper body. The windbreaker was fastened with ordinary buttons, but the buttons were not located in the middle, creating an unbalanced beauty.

The lower body is a pair of exquisite and easy-to-move black cropped pants. The material looks like jeans, but you won’t feel tight when wearing these pants for long-distance running or high jumping.

He wore white high-necked casual shoes that just covered his ankles, revealing a part of his calves, which further highlighted the boy's height.

Clothes make the man. The boy turned around in front of Ken Sano and really looked like a model in a brand advertisement.

The key person is a clothes hanger, he looks good in anything.

"Not bad, not bad." Sano Ken praised, "This pair of pants and shoes can highlight your long legs. They really match you."

Compared to the boy's black and white color scheme, Sano Ken's clothes are relatively colorful, look loose and very comfortable to wear.

Although Sano Ken's behavior of squatting in front of the fitting room was a little strange, the boy still accepted Sano Ken's compliment, stepped on the ground, and felt the comfort of the shoes.

The two stood aside, watching Kashima Yu still walking around in front of the men's clothing counters, muttering to himself, taking clothes off the hangers from time to time, and visually checking in the mirror how they felt after putting them on.

"Haha, looking at Mr. Kashima, it is obvious that he regards shopping as a way to relax and enjoy himself." Ken Sano leaned back in his chair, holding a shopping bag in his hand, and smiled at the boy.

Sakakibara stuffed the clothes he paid for into the bag and asked, "What do you usually do during your break?"

"Ah——" Ken Sano pondered for a moment. He was usually very busy at work, and he even had to work on weekends and holidays.

"Watch a movie. When I'm not working, I lie on the bed, curled up in the quilt, eat snacks and watch a movie." Sano Ken said with a smile, "I like to watch some profound movies. The plot and character portrayal are what I pursue."

"As an actor, you have too little time to rest in such a busy profession."

He complained and continued to talk to himself, "I decided to take a break in the fall season."

Sakakibara Kaede was stunned for a moment, then hummed in agreement, "Sano-san starred in several TV series last period and the summer season, so it is natural for him to take a break."

"I don't want to tire myself out." Sano Ken smiled, "What do you like to do to relax, Sakakibara-san?"

"Well...play games. I'm currently playing Monster Hunter on the handheld console. I'm also interested in arcades, but I go to internet cafes more often."

"Okay, I'll buy a handheld game console in the fall, and then we can go play together."

After making an appointment with Ken Sano, Yu Kashima came to them carrying two shopping bags. After saying hello, the two stood up and left the brand store with the clerk's attentive farewell.

The boy originally imagined that girls would have to wear dresses at the movie press conference, but to be honest, those things are not only expensive, but also have a limited number of uses.

When the boy heard that they only needed to wear ordinary clothes, he thought that Sakurajima Mai and Higuchi Madoka would like this request.

Although Mai Sakurajima is rich, judging from her daily routine, life and clothing, she is not a girl who blindly pursues brands, nor is she the kind of girl who will squander her money on brand-name cosmetics and backpacks.

Higuchi Madoka herself doesn't care about brands, which can be seen from the overall habits of the Higuchi family. Moreover, Higuchi Madoka doesn't like simple appearances, she likes the real thing.

However, compared to Sakakibara Kaede's generosity in buying everything, Sakurajima Mai only bought a jacket that can be worn in both spring and autumn, and Higuchi Madoka bought a denim skirt that reaches her knees.

Everyone achieved their goals, watched a movie, ate barbecue, bought clothes, and today's team-building task was successfully completed.

Ken Sano and Yu Kashima waved goodbye to the three people. The former nodded to the boy, obviously reminding him not to forget the agreement between them.

After smiling and waving goodbye to the two gangsters wearing sunglasses, Mai Sakurajima stretched lazily with satisfaction, "Well... nothing to do this afternoon, do you have any plans?"

"I want to go to the bookstore to read a book and have a drink." Sakakibara Kaede said frankly. It would be a waste not to use the air conditioning in this shopping mall.

"No plans." Higuchi Madoka's answer was the same as always.

As the initiator of the plan, Mai Sakurajima raised her finger and suggested, "Why don't we all go to the bookstore and sit down. Senior Sakakibara, do you have time to pick out some sociology textbooks for me?"

Seeing her smiling face, the boy hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Let me be frank, I don't have much experience in social studies."

“A little experience is still experience.”

Higuchi Madoka glanced at the interactions between Sakurajima Mai and Sakakibara Kaede. She remembered that the relationship between the two was also so harmonious before. The last time she saw this scene was when they were shooting a graduation commercial, when the three of them were sitting in a family restaurant eating.

Will the conversations be completely different when you are with different people?

This is fake... No, this is normal.

Higuchi Madoka lowered her eyes.

The three of them walked into the bookstore and found a seat in the corner. As soon as the boy placed his order, he was dragged to the textbook area by Mai Sakurajima to look at the dazzling array of textbooks on the shelves.

Mai Sakurajima looked at the helplessness on the boy's face and for some reason seemed to be in high spirits.

"Well... there are also social studies subjects in the liberal arts department. Sakurajima-san is with Hiratsuka-sensei. She should be able to recommend some textbooks for you to buy, right?"

"No." Sakurajima Mai blinked, looking confused.

The boy secretly complained about Mr. Hiratsuka's hands-off education. Look at your students, they are so stupid... While complaining, he sorted through the textbooks on the bookshelf.

Seeing Sakakibara Kaede accurately holding the book recommended by Hiratsuka teacher in her hands, the confusion on Sakurajima Mai's face disappeared. She turned her body sideways and pretended to look at the bookshelf opposite casually, and the smile on her face spread a little invisibly.

"...I'm ready to move."

Hearing what Sakurajima Mai said, the boy paused holding the book and turned around. "Is there something wrong with the house you rented? Or did the landlord evict you by force?"

"How is that possible?" Sakurajima Mai smiled. She heard from the boy's answer that he seemed to regard her as a weak victim, and she couldn't help but feel a little hidden joy in her heart, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

"That's next year. I'm going to study in Tokyo. How much trouble will it be to live in Chiba?"

The boy hummed softly and said, "It's still early, but I will keep an eye out for housing information for you. You can list your living requirements later."

"Hmm~"

Kaede Sakakibara knew that Mai Sakurajima's home was in Tokyo.

If you don't go home, there must be a reason.

For example, the reason why Yuma Miura doesn't go home is that playing drums at home affects his sister's studies and makes it inconvenient. The second reason is that every time he goes home he is urged to find a girlfriend. For Yuma Miura who is devoted to his career, a woman will only affect the speed at which he plays drums.

As for Mai Sakurajima, there would only be Mai Sakurajima's reasons. If she didn't tell him, the boy wouldn't ask.

"Oh, Sakakibara-senpai, are you wondering why I don't live with my parents? Something like that?" Mai Sakakijima stood beside the boy, her tone fluctuating frequently. Considering her identity as an actress, this was normal.

"I won't ask unless you ask yourself."

"Sometimes, you can be really cold and indifferent, Sakakibara-senpai."

Mai Sakurajima chuckled and said, her eyes dropped to her toes. She paused for a moment and said, "My mother and I don't have a good relationship."

"I have a half-sister."

In just two sentences, Kaede Sakakibara has already glimpsed the world behind Sakurajima Mai, her family situation, and some of her true self.

"How is it? It's like the plot in a TV drama, right?" Sakurajima Mai smiled, and her smile was still as decent and bright as ever.

The boy held the book in his hands and said, "If it was a heroine in a popular TV series, she might be devastated, but she would stand up step by step while waiting for others to save her. Although she would have regrets and tears, she would become a better person in the end."

"Sakurajima-san... you're very strong."

Sakurajima Mai was still smiling. She controlled her expression and the trembling and emotion in her heart, staring at the young man whose eyes were shining brightly.

-

I apologized to three friends last night, played a few hunting games, and then logged off.

The boy patted his cheeks. He was in good spirits today. He would answer the reporter's questions well and be amazing.

The film launch was held in the bustling Ginza, which was much more upscale than the Shibuya where they were visiting. As the most expensive area in Tokyo, the fact that the film launch was held here clearly highlighted its importance.

Wearing a black and white outfit, the boy met Higuchi Yuanxiang in front of Higuchi's house, and got into Miss Sato's car under the smiling gaze of Mrs. Higuchi.

The boy was thinking about when Jujutsu Kaisen would be adapted into a live-action film. He would just wear this outfit to audition for the role of the Pure Love War God. Wouldn't he pass directly?

The two did not go directly to the movie press conference - if the fans at the scene saw the two actors getting out of the same car, some people would think something wrong anyway.
