I interpret life in Tokyo

"What about illustrations?" the girl asked.

The boy pondered for a moment, "It's the decoration on the boat."

The girl's face was full of smiles. It was obvious that Kaede Sakakibara's words had reached her heart. She took the initiative to bring up the unfinished topic just now, "What do you like about this love metronome?"

"As I said before, the focus is on the writing style... The writing style of this novel has a sour and youthful atmosphere, which makes me substituting it into the work without knowing it, and feeling the same entanglement that belongs to him as the protagonist "The boy continued to comment, "The author doesn't look like a newcomer, he skillfully manipulated the relationship between the hero and the lead actress, so that they won't get too close, sometimes sweet, sometimes alienated, this rhythm is well grasped Very good... As for the female second, it is estimated that the second volume will appear, I don't know what the situation is."

"This is not a popular love story popular in the market." Kaede Sakakibara commented sharply, "This book has its own audience, although the audience is definitely not many."

"But I wrote what I wanted to write."

The girl's red eyes blinked, and she pursed her lips into a smile. I have to say that she has a unique charm when she smiles.

"The second volume? I'm also wondering how the author will write it." The girl finished drinking the coffee at the table with a smile. She got up and said, "I like your review very much, thank you."

Sakakihara Kaede watched her leave with her bag on her back, and looked away.

Talking with passers-by who met by chance, he missed it very much and yearned for such a feeling. The two didn't even exchange names, nor did they leave any contact information.

Sakakibara Kaede yawned, and with the love metronome already swiping three times, he turned to another light novel about the daily life of youth and read it in the sunlight.

He didn't know what the dinner was like today, so he contacted Mrs. Higuchi before, and told her the arrangements for the next three months tactfully. Mrs. Higuchi encouraged him with a smile, and didn't care about dinner, saying that he only needed to eat Higuchi once in the future. Just lunch at home.

As for the time for make-up lessons, it is estimated that it will have to be moved to the afternoon.

The lunch box was naturally handed over by Madoka Higuchi.

Chapter 13 The Six at an Intersection

Facing the sunset glow, the boy left the coffee shop and walked towards the apartment with his suitcase.

The taste of coffee is bitter and slightly sweet, just like the feelings in light novels, in the silence that hesitates to speak, and in the silent gaze, slowly approaching.

Sakakihara Kaede likes this kind of text very much. To be precise, it is such a bitter plot. The reality is not like novels, which are always so perfect.

In the novel, the boy saw people of flesh and blood.

"excuse me..."

The boy took out the key on the mailbox and opened the door first.

There are many fixed cameras in the room, and there are no photographers. It is also understandable that there are only six people living in this apartment, and it is impossible for the photographers to follow them from morning to night.

Putting the shoes into the shoe cabinet and changing into slippers, the boy took the suitcase lightly and poured himself a glass of water.

He knew, by the time he stepped into the apartment, that filming had already begun.

Oshima Hideo appeared in the dead corner of the shooting, holding a striking sign in his hand, which indicated Kaede Sakakihara to read the letter on the table and read it out.

Sakakihara Kaede found six unopened letters on the table, and he stepped forward to open the one that belonged to him.

"Good evening... Sakakibara-san, welcome to the apartment where dreams are intertwined. If nothing else, you should be the first to arrive. Why don't you introduce yourself to the camera."

Basic operations, allowing newcomers to introduce themselves in front of the camera, is an essential part of reality shows.

However, the boy thought that they would start this link after the six people arrived. It seems that he was notified to enter the apartment so early is not groundless. . .In the program group, Hideo Oshima was the first person who wanted to speak in front of the camera only Kaede Sakakihara, so he was specially asked to come earlier than the others.

"Hi everyone, my name is Kaede Sakakihara." Kaede Sakakihara sat in front of the sofa, facing the camera used for shooting, introducing himself gracefully, "I am currently a student at the University of Tokyo, and I am also an actor , currently filmed a TV series and a movie, and participated in many group performances."

"Let's talk about the life of an actor." Hideo Oshima changed a brand.

Sakakibara Kaede pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "As an actor, I'm very busy at work. It's a daily routine to run on the set all day, so I have to seize the few breaks in many jobs to relax. I think the time should be arranged reasonably. That's the point."

"No, I think the life of an actor is too tiring. I specially came to participate in a reality show this season. It can be regarded as a small vacation for myself."

Oshima Hideo nodded. His ability to answer by analogy really made him admire. He is indeed suitable for variety shows, not because of his good looks, but because of his words that connect him closely with other people.

One person opened the door with a key, she was not surprised to see someone inside, and nodded politely to the people who were filming and Kaede Sakakibara.

"Well, let's move in first, Sakakibara-san, show us this apartment."

Seeing Hideo Oshima's instructions, Kaede Sakakibara stood up, pulled the suitcase aside, and walked up the stairs, followed by a cameraman.

His room is on the east side of the second floor. There is also a small balcony with excellent lighting. Kaede Sakakibara pushed the door in and opened it by the way.

"Wow..."

Sakakihara Kaede sighed.

This is naturally an exaggeration - after all, he has stayed in five-star hotels, this kind of interjection is still for the effect of the show.

Do you understand, the gold content of good intentions.

Although the room is small, it has all internal organs. On his desk, Kaede Sakakibara also saw the latest desktop configuration that he had applied to the program team for purchase.

"Wow."

This tone of voice is naturally sincere.

"Look at this configuration, there is water cooling... Hey, the program team spent a lot of money." Sakakihara Kaede murmured silently in his heart. He had already decided what to take after this shooting.

After putting away the luggage, the boy changed into a loose home clothes - the filming crew naturally left the room, not giving any chance to the female fans who were greedy for his body.

After receiving an order from Hideo Oshima to rest for a while, Kaede Sakakibara leaned on the office chair, turned on the computer, and installed the software he was familiar with first. It is impossible to work today, but the tools and software used for work Still have to download it first.

People's voices and footsteps came from downstairs soon, but Sakakihara Kaede didn't pay attention, because according to the requirements of the program group, he couldn't go downstairs at this time, and the door was closed tightly, so he couldn't hear any words.

It seems that the sound insulation is good.

While there was still some time, Kaede Sakakibara sent a message to Madoka Higuchi at this time.

"?"

"This is the study material for tonight. I will send you the summary I wrote first. As for the revision of the exercises, you can send it to me later. I will correct it for you when I have time in the evening."

"..."

Madoka Higuchi sent a string of ellipses.

"Aren't you going to shoot a show today? Reality shows are very tiring, and they are also very important to your career."

"Your grades are as important as Asakura-san's."

After Sakakibara Kaede typed this sentence, he couldn't help but send his notes like a dog crawling. Although the handwriting was ugly, it was vaguely recognizable.

Madoka Higuchi was silent for a while, and soon sent another message, "I will send you the exercises with Asakura tomorrow, Mr. Good Mr."

"If you're exhausted, I don't want to take care of you again."

Sakakihara Kaede put down his cell phone, leaned on the office chair, and shook his head.

Ten minutes later, the boy who received the message stepped down the stairs. At this time, the first floor was noisy, and it seemed that everyone had arrived.

The moment he opened the door, he froze.

The five people sitting on the sofa were also slightly taken aback, and one of them got up in surprise and shouted, "Senior Sakakibara?"

Sakakibara Kaede maintained a calm and gentle face, and nodded to the girl with a smile, "It turns out that Ichinose-san is also here, so I have to sigh that the world is really small."

Much the same as Chizuru Ichinose who was surprised and somewhat delighted, was the reaction of the other men and three women. Two of them got up, and the two of them were still sitting on the sofa, seemingly not knowing who this Sakakihara in front of them was.

"Well, let's talk while eating." Sakakibara Kaede suggested.

Today's dinner is a takeaway meal provided by the program group, and it looks like something on a plate. The rest of the people also knew that they are currently filming, so they nodded at the same time.

Sakakibara Kaede sat down next to another blond boy with dark circles, he looked around, saw the restraint of some people present, and suggested gently: "Before eating, let's introduce ourselves. "

He already knew the purpose of Oshima Show to pull him into this reality show, in the common saying, to wipe his ass.

After all, most of the reality shows in this issue are ordinary people who have never been in the entertainment industry, or amateurs. They may not know what to say when facing the camera, or they may not know how to smooth things over.

At this time, it is relatively easy to have someone who has shooting experience and is also in the entertainment industry.

Kaede Sakakibara smiled and said something similar to the self-introduction in front of the camera just now.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Ichinose Chizuru who was sitting opposite the boy, the girl blushed slightly, "My name is Ichinose Chizuru, I am a freshman in college, and I am currently attending a training class for newcomers. My dream is to become like Sakakihara-senpai. Such a great actor."

oh. . .After the exclamation, there was a friendly applause soon.

"My name is Baiyin Yuxing. I am currently in the third year of high school. Because my house was on fire and I had no place to live, I moved into a dream apartment after asking a friend. My dream is to work and earn money to support my family."

The unpretentious words made everyone nod, and the corners of Hideo Oshima's mouth twitched wildly in the studio beside him.

He has an impression of this Baiyin Miyuki, this is the person his superiors forcefully stuffed him here, he said, this is the person recommended by the Fujiwara family, but don't tell this to the person involved, this made Oshima Hideo sigh accounted for.

After Baiyin Yuyuki's introduction was the wine-red girl's self-introduction, she glanced at Kaede Sakakibara, the corner of her mouth curled up, "My name is Kasumigaoka Shiwa, a senior high school student, and a writer. My dream is to write books that make people feel warm in their hearts. , the emotional text, staying in the dream apartment is to find materials and inspiration here.”

Oshima Hideo nodded. This is similar to the reason the girl wrote on the application. In fact, light novel writers and the entertainment industry still have a little bit of a relationship, especially in today's era when full names are idolized, and writers rely on their looks. It's no surprise.

The next person who introduced herself was a female voice with long blue hair. She was also one of the people who recognized Kaede Sakakibara just now.

"My name is Fumino Guqiao. I am a senior in high school this year. On the way home, I was approached by someone from the program team... My dream is to study the stars and work in astronomy-related jobs."

Oshima Hideo glanced at the information, and said yes, this girl was indeed met by the program crew when they were randomly questioned on the road. . .From the short inquiry, the program team learned that the relationship between the girl and her family was not harmonious, so they sent out an invitation.

The last one who introduced herself was a brown-haired girl with a ponytail, "My name is Aoyama Nanami. I am a sophomore in high school this year. My dream is to become a voice actress. I am currently studying in a private training class. My future university aspiration is the Department of Acting and Drama."

This young girl Oshima Hideo has an impression that voice actors are inseparable from the entertainment industry, such as promoting TV dramas and videos for movies that require voice actors.Sometimes in live-action animation, actors need to learn from voice actors, and it is normal to ask voice actors about the mood of the character they played at that time.

He quickly scribbled in his notebook and decided the focus of the shooting.Although everyone will appear in the camera, and will have their own scenes and processes, there will always be someone who is a little more than others.

So far, self-introduction is complete.

The six people picked up the chopsticks, said softly, "I'm going to start", and then began to pick up vegetables for dinner.

For a while, the dinner table was quiet, and no one spoke—this is normal, they are all strangers meeting for the first time, what topics can they expect to talk about?

In this atmosphere, Kaede Sakakibara asked, "How did Ichinose-san come into contact with Dream Apartment?"

"Well, my manager recommended me to participate, saying that I can learn the essence of being an actor from reality shows." Chizuru Ichinose answered the question honestly.

Iida-san. . .How do you cheat innocent female college students?

Reality shows focus on truth. Although everyone knows that there is a hidden script, actions and reactions are the most important.

"Sakakibara-san, Ichinose-san, do you two know each other?" Shirogin Miyuki interjected to smooth things over.

"Well, Ichinose-san is attending a training class at the office where I'm currently working, so it can be regarded as a relationship between seniors and seniors." Sakakibara Kaede said with a smile.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu blinked her wine-red eyes, "Senior and junior, it's really good."

"Have you found any inspiration for your novel?" the boy asked jokingly.

"That's not enough." Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Sakakibara Kaede's proficient question and answer made Ichinose Chizuru a lot of pressure. How did this third-year writer junior talk to Sakakibara-senpai so casually. . .This is in front of the camera.

She was a little preoccupied, and she seldom spoke during the dinner, thinking twice before acting.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked at the young man who communicated with Baiyin Yuxing, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she had found a good material. . .In fact, she was not going to tell what the two of them had seen before. She didn't think it was necessary, and it was better to keep those precious conversations deep in her memory.

"Oh? Does Bai Yinsang want to study abroad?"

"Well... just have such a thought."

Baiyin Yuxing nodded in embarrassment and admitted that Fumino Furuhashi also joined in the conversation between the two at some point.

"If Furuhashi-san wants to consider a science university, the only famous ones in Tokyo are Hitotsubashi University and Tokyo University." Kaede Sakakibara thought about it.

Fumino Furuhashi hummed. In a short period of time, she felt that the other five people living in the dream apartment were easy to talk to, and she quickly let go of her original restraint. "How does Sakakibara-senpai feel about the University of Tokyo?"

Here are three academic masters discussing the pros and cons of the university, and the aura exuded makes Ichinose Chizuru a little hard to resist.

Her heart was unconsciously as close as Qingshan Qihai, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw something in each other's eyes.

However, compared with the sharp evaluation of schools and majors among the three academic masters, the dialogue between Chizuru Ichinose and Nanami Aoyama was obviously a lot more cautious. They just talked about their recent life, and did not talk in depth about actors and actors. Voice actors.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu also joined their conversation, she always had a mature and confident smile on her face, which made Aoyama Nanami envious.

After dinner, Kaede Sakakibara took the plate to the kitchen. There was a form on the wall here, which clearly marked the housework that everyone should do every day. On the first day of the day, Kaede Sakakibara had his turn to wash the dishes.

If he knew that it was specially arranged by Hideo Oshima, Kaede Sakakihara didn't know how to thank him.

Chapter 14 20 years old, student

Get up from the unfamiliar bed.

The sun shines faintly into the room through the window screens, and the central air conditioner is low and cool.

Sakakihara Kaede got up from the bed. He rubbed his neck, feeling that the pillow he slept on last night was not to his taste, and now he felt his neck was a little sore.

Glancing at the clock on the phone, Sakakibara Kaede lay back on the bed and closed his eyes, only then did he remember that he is not at home or in a hotel now.
