I live my life in Tokyo

"Hey, the faster the better!" Iida Kei's pupils contracted and his tone was quick.

Impetuous and impatient, Iida Kei, you have changed, the boy complained in his heart, and left a message: "Tomorrow is Saturday, I have time, but I am not good at choosing a date location, so I will leave it to Chizuru-chan."

Not long after I sent this message, I received a reply.

"Well~ Leave it to me, Mr. Harukaze!"

It was followed by a big smiley face emoji.

The boy put away his phone. At this moment, a private car sped into the community where he lived. Iida Kei turned around with a slightly ferocious look on his face, "Brother Sakakibara!"

"Ah? What?"

Under the light, the wrinkles on Kei Iida's face were mixed with sweat, and his eyes were bloodshot, which was extremely terrifying.

What is going on here?

"Can I use your toilet?"

"Okay, the small room on the right hand side of the second floor."

The boy turned the key to open the door, entered the room and got a pair of guest slippers for Iida Kei. Before he could react, Iida Kei took off his shoes and strode upstairs.

Sakakibara Kaede closed the door and looked gloomy when he heard the moan of relief coming from upstairs.

I took some cold water out of the refrigerator, poured it into a cup, took a sip, and turned on the TV.

This has become his habitual action. When he is alone at home, it is usually quiet. After turning on the TV, the laughter can dispel the loneliness of being alone at home.

"Brother Sakakibara, have you made an appointment with Ichinose-kun?"

"It's settled, tomorrow." The boy yawned, "But let me be frank. I'll be the messenger and give some advice, but the final decision lies with Ichinose-san."

Iida Kei breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his legs. "Of course, we at STARS have always been open to both staying and leaving."

"I think the olive branch we're offering is very valuable. You know how many people are scrambling to sign up for the actor training class at STARS."

Sakakibara nodded, thinking for a moment and then asked, "What if Ichinose-kun is short of money?"

"You can pass the exam to get your tuition waived. Besides, the actor training classes at the agency are not expensive. To be honest, they are much cheaper than those fake actor training classes outside. That's why every session is full."

Heavy objects fell into the water.

Even through the door, Sakakibara Kaede seemed to be able to smell the smell, and he quickly turned around and walked down the stairs.

After watching an episode of a popular TV series, screams were heard from the bathroom upstairs.

The boy's hair stood up when he saw Iida Kei limping at the stairs.

The lower half of his pants was a dark color.

Iida Kei's face turned pale, and his brows trembled, "Brother Sakakibara... I have some unfortunate news."

"The toilet... is clogged."

"You have a stomachache?"

"My lifelong reputation has been ruined in an instant."

"..."

The boy was instantly speechless - luckily there was a separate toilet in the Japanese-style room, otherwise he would have no chance of taking a shower tonight.

"It's hard to find a toilet repairman at this hour." The boy looked at the clock and sighed with a headache, "I'll ask my landlord to come and check it out tomorrow."

"To be honest, this house is quite old. I wouldn't be surprised if something unexpected happened to it."

Iida Kei sighed and patted the boy's shoulder guiltily. "As a brother, I'm sorry. Let me help you apply for a subsidy. You don't have to live at home for the next few days. I'll find you a hotel in Bunkyo District and you can stay there."

"Have a heart."

The boy scratched his brow in distress. Apart from the nice land, the house was very old. He wanted to ask the show "House Renovation King" to rebuild the house.

The toilet is out of service. It's not a big problem, but it's not a small one either. Since Kei Iida is going to apply for a subsidy for him, Kaede Sakakibara has no objection.

After all, it was Kei Iida who broke the toilet, so he should take full responsibility.

After seeing off the dejected agent, the boy held back a laugh and shook his head. After going to the second floor and washing up simply, he got on the bed and skillfully took out the handheld game console.

"Come hunt!"

-

Chizuru Ichinose was choosing clothes in front of the mirror with distress.

Today is very important to her, even of great significance.

After encountering numerous setbacks in her part-time jobs, Chizuru Ichinose resolutely chose the job of renting a girlfriend, partly for the sake of a part-time job and partly to hone her acting skills. After paying a portion of the deposit, she became a member of the rental partner of Diamond Agency.

A week has passed since she registered the account, but there has been no movement at all. Yesterday, someone finally booked her service, so Chizuru Ichinose must give her 100% effort.

The appointment with the gentleman on the other end of the phone was at ten o'clock in the morning, and Chizuru Ichinose had already made sufficient plans and preparations in advance.

Meet at the Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Art Museum in Minato Ward to see the exhibition in the morning, and head to Shinagawa Ward for lunch in the afternoon, followed by the highlight of the day, Aqua Park Shinagawa, a stylish aquarium with brightly lit tanks, penguin, seal, dolphin shows and a museum.

At the same time, it is also a holy place for couples to date.

"Hmm... would it be better to be more fashionable?"

Chizuru Ichinose doesn't own many clothes. Her financial situation does not allow her to spend money lavishly. Although her clothes are fashionable, they are only styles from a few years ago.

She thought about it, then gave up and threw the idea of ​​fashion out of her mind.

Renting a partner, her focus today is to serve Party A well. If Party A comes today in ordinary clothes, then her fashionable dress will become the fuse for picking faults.

And Harukaze... This name is something that someone of a certain age could come up with.

Who among today's young people would choose such an online name?

Chizuru Ichinose thought about it and finally chose a white short-sleeved loose off-shoulder top and a light blue knee-length skirt. She turned around in front of the mirror, her mouth curled up, revealing a formal smile.

This kind of clothing can match perfectly no matter what the other person is wearing.

“I must succeed today and get my first good review!”

After encouraging herself in the mirror, the girl put on her backpack, stretched out her hands to stretch it out, and finally put on a sun hat as if admitting defeat.

Nerima Ward is some distance away from Minato Ward, the center of Tokyo. Chizuru Ichinose took the subway early, checking her makeup in a small mirror.

She still had some expectations for this simulated date in her heart. This was her first pot of gold. As long as she had the first time, the second and third times would soon follow.

Chizuru Ichinose was not expecting anything about the other person's appearance. Although the girl also liked the actor idols on the screen who had sunny smiles on their faces, work was work. No matter what the other party said, she would complete today's simulated date with a serious attitude.

However, the first date also made the girl anxious and worried. She was completely different from her usual self. This was the first time she used this mask to treat a client, and she didn't know whether the other party would like her like this.

Thinking of her grandmother who was still in the hospital and her own dream, Chizuru Ichinose gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and cheered herself up.

"come on!"

Getting off the bus in the minato area, Chizuru Ichinose felt the noble atmosphere surrounding her. It was a silent wealth. Young people walking on the street were wearing branded clothes and expensive private cars could be seen everywhere.

Compared with the Minato Ward, Nerima Ward has instantly become a rural area, to put it in an exaggerated way.

"It's over, it's over. Are you late?"

The girl looked at her phone and found that it was not yet ten o'clock. She breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. If she was late for the first day of the simulated date and made the client unhappy, she would never forgive herself.

At this moment, she was like an outsider, carefully looking at everything in the port area. Both the huge advertising billboards and the towering towers around her were things she had never seen before.

The meager income from her part-time job could not support her to move around Tokyo freely, and she lived a simple life of going to and from work.

Go to school, go to the hospital to see grandma, and go home.

Thinking of her grandmother, Chizuru Ichinose cheered herself up, patted her cheeks, and came to the place where they had agreed to meet last night.

It is still half an hour before ten o'clock. Chizuru Ichinose leaned back in her chair and pulled her calves out of the sun. The sandals she wore today exposed her toes and insteps to the sun.

The port area is close to the sea.

You can smell the sea breeze here.

Chizuru Ichinose's tense spirit gradually relaxed. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes slightly. She had been reading guides too late last night and she only slept for a few hours.

With the sound of wind and the midsummer, the girl's breathing gradually became even.

In the distance, a young man was looking out at the sea view with his hands in his jeans pockets.

Chapter 3 The rhythm is messed up

Chizuru Ichinose had a beautiful dream.

In her dream, she successfully became an actress, working hand in hand with the actors she admired in the film and television industry. Her grandmother's condition improved, and she would be able to go home and rest soon. She soon found an apartment she liked in Nerima District, with cheap rent and close to the university.

The things in the dream were too beautiful and gorgeous, but in Chizuru Ichinose's subconscious, they were not real.

Reality can't be so romantic.

However, this did not prevent Chizuru Ichinose from continuing to indulge in this virtual world. She lived happily with her grandmother in the apartment, going to the office to work in the morning and returning home to eat meals cooked by her grandmother in the evening.

Her wish was so humble and simple.

"Well..."

Chizuru Ichinose seemed to remember something. She struggled to open her eyes and felt the scorching heat of midsummer.

Finished!

I actually fell asleep on the most important first day of the simulated date. It’s all over, it’s all over.

Chizuru Ichinose's expression changed again and again. She looked at her cell phone and found that it was almost half past ten. Obviously, she had dozed off for almost an hour.

"Want some water?"

The young man who was sitting at a distance from her smiled and handed her a bottle of water. Chizuru Ichinose took it in a daze, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

Under the stimulation of the cold water, Chizuru Ichinose finally felt her thoughts returning to her brain.

She turned around and took a quick look at the young man sitting on the same bench, looking up at the sky with sunglasses on. She felt that he looked familiar and pursed her lips, "Um...thank you."

"Little things, little things."

The young man waved his hand nonchalantly.

Chizuru Ichinose stood up with her backpack. She looked around and saw young people standing in groups of three or four at the gathering place. They were chatting and talking in groups. No one was alone, and there was no middle-aged man Mr. Harukaze in Chizuru Ichinose's mind.

As expected... he's already gone.

Chizuru Ichinose dropped her shoulders, feeling like a fool. It was such an important first date, but she fell asleep and completely missed the meeting time.

It is not difficult to understand why Mr. Harukaze was stood up and just left after the gathering time.

The girl returned to the bench, sighed in self-loathing, and opened the Diamond Agency app. She hesitated for a moment, then clicked on her order.

"No rating... No, order is in progress?"

Not seeing the expected 1-star review or accusatory comments, Chizuru Ichinose pursed her lips. She didn't know what was going on.

What's happening here?

"Good morning, did you sleep well?"

Qingfeng suddenly sent such a message.

Chizuru Ichinose looked around guiltily. The young man who had handed her the water was holding a cell phone in his hand, still looking at the scenery in the distance.

The girl bit her teeth lightly. "What if Mr. Qingfeng saw me like this? I don't know where you are, Mr. Qingfeng. I'll come find you right now. I'll pay part of today's expenses to compensate for my mistake of being late."

Her brows were gloomy, and Chizuru Ichinose, who originally had little income, couldn't help but sigh after sending these words that made the client happy but broke her heart.

In order to keep the good reviews for the first order, she had to spend her little saved money... She also needed to use the money to treat her grandmother's illness and find an apartment for herself. Thinking about it now, she only felt deep regret in her heart.

I wish I had gone to bed earlier last night.

Kaede Sakakibara sat aside leisurely, watching Chizuru Ichinose's face-changing service. He nodded slightly. Chizuru Ichinose's appearance and expression were indeed able to attract attention. He had been waiting here for about an hour, and at least dozens of people came forward and wanted to chat with Chizuru Ichinose.

But after seeing Sleeping Beauty, they finally gave up.

"I'm next to you."

Chizuru Ichinose was shocked and put down her phone.

"Good morning, Mizuhara-san." Sakakibara Kaede smiled and extended her hand. "I am Harukaze. Mizuhara-san must be very tired. You slept so soundly that I didn't have the heart to wake you up."

Chizuru Ichinose's face flushed red, she stammered and spoke incoherently, "Haru... Mr. Harukaze, how long have you been watching me sleep here?"
