I interpret life in Tokyo

Maki Nishikino nodded slightly and said, "Sakakibara-san has no problem at the moment, but you must be mentally prepared. Losing your voice for a moment on stage is a failure."

She looked straight at Kaede Sakakibara, looked away after a while, and put the bass on the wall, "I still have tutoring in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first. I will pick a new bass, is this time tomorrow?"

"Ah, Nishikino-san, whatever time is convenient for you." Sakakihara Kaede nodded and said.

Maki Nishikino hummed, shook her head at the two of them, closed the door softly, and left the rehearsal room.

Miura Yuma was pointed out as a problem, and he is still quite high-quality. "Nishikino Sangma is a professional, and he is very good at understanding music. If she wants to enter the music academy, it should be a sure thing."

"Students in the Conservatory of Music still need to make up lessons?"

Sakakibara Feng complained that in a short period of time, he could see that Maki Nishikino has strong adaptability and learning ability. Her studies should not be bad. If such a student still needs to make up lessons, it is hard to imagine her wish what is it.

Miura Yuuma was massaging his wrist, his expression looked very satisfied, at least Kaede Sakakibara thought so.

"Sakakibara-san will have to make up lessons for senior high school students, right?"

Seeing Sakakibara Kaede lift the bag, Miura Yuma asked.

"Well, I'm making up lessons in the coffee shop, and I have to continue filming variety shows tonight..." Kaede Sakakibara picked up his schoolbag and put the guitar in the bag. He planned to take it home to practice his hand tonight.

"What are Miura-san's plans?"

"I'm going to continue practicing while my hands are hot, and I'll go back to school in the evening." Miura Yuma shook his wrist and waved his hand to Sakakibara Kaede with a smile, "Come on, making up lessons is work after all, it's bad if you're late, we see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The two said their goodbyes in front of the rehearsal room. Sakakihara Kaede felt the weight on his shoulders. He deliberately didn't leave the office directly, but went to the snack area in the actor's area. He spent a lot of time playing and singing all afternoon. energy.

The boy pushed open the door of the office with an energy bar in his mouth, and had to squint his eyes because of the hot sun, and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.

It's almost summer vacation.

Knowing this fact, Kaede Sakakibara was very excited. He just wanted to take advantage of this summer vacation to have a good rest. It would be great if he had the opportunity to see the sea.

It was not Toru Asakura and Madoka Higuchi who greeted him first in the Starlight Cafe, but two kittens piled up in front of the door.

Seeing them, Sakakibara Kaede felt guilty, he stepped forward a few steps and stretched out his hand towards Chocolate and Vanilla.

"Meow~"

The two cats meowed a few times, Chocolate rubbed its soft back against the boy's hand, and Vanilla turned her belly up to the boy, beckoning him to serve.

It was originally decided to take the two cats home this summer, but because of the manager's shit, it had to be postponed until this winter indefinitely.

He nodded to Mr. Housekeeper, he came today as a guest, so he was naturally invited in with a warm smile on his face.

In the corner, Kaede Sakakura saw Toru Asakura and Madoka Higuchi who had spread out their books and notebooks and were studying hard.

Sakakibara Kaede did not disturb them, but put the schoolbag and guitar bag aside, opened the menu by himself, and ordered a cup of slightly sweet green tea to the waiter who was familiar with the high school girl who had been working together for several months .

"Huh? Here?"

Madoka Higuchi raised her purple eyes, she finished the exercise set a little earlier than Toru Asakura, and pushed the completed part to the boy.

She glanced at the guitar bag beside Kaede Sakakibara, "Band?"

Seen by Madoka Higuchi, Kaede Sakakibara was not surprised. After all, when Mai Sakurajima recorded the video, Madoka Higuchi sat next to Mai Sakurajima when she sang the song related to her friends. I have heard a little about people, so I am not surprised at all now, as if everything is taken for granted.

"Well, I formed a band with Miura-san and that muse, Nishikino-san, and we have just negotiated, and even the name has just been decided."

Kaede Sakakibara said with a smile, he took the exercise handed by Madoka Higuchi, the smile on his face gradually became serious, he took out the red pen and started to correct.

Seeing Sakakibara Kaede's appearance, Higuchi Madoka knew that she had lost the opportunity to ask questions, and she hadn't asked Nishikino-san what was going on.

Did you really form a band with that idol, Maki Nishino?What's the name of the band?What song are you going to sing in the future?

There are a lot of questions I want to ask, but Madoka Higuchi is not good at asking questions, and her attitude towards things is like this. When the two get along, Kaede Sakakibara is always the topic leader, chatting with her about trivial matters.

This is her life, or her attitude and way of doing things, it is enough to follow the trend, accepting external changes will only make Madoka Higuchi feel the suffocation of restraint.

So, she leaned on the sofa, next to her childhood sweetheart, and began to read the ancient prose learned in class today.

After grading the papers, Sakakibara Kaede started a supplementary review based on the current teaching progress of the two.

Toru Asakura and Madoka Higuchi listened carefully, nodding their heads from time to time, writing a few sentences in their notebooks, with only the scent of coffee and ink in their noses.

"Band, is it fun?"

During the intermission, Asakura straightened out the sea of ​​waves in front of his forehead, and showed a self-conscious smile on the window that he thought was refreshing, but in fact he was really chic. asked in a tone.

Hearing her childhood sweetheart's question, Madoka Higuchi silently sipped cocoa and remained silent.

"It should be quite similar to idol activities." Kaede Sakakihara has not personally experienced idol activities, but in reports or in variety shows, they have more or less seen them practicing on the screen, working with each other, and jumping happily on the stage "However, we have just started today, and we are still in the running-in practice stage."

"Ah...it's very similar to us at that time."

Toru Asakura looked at Madoka Higuchi next to him, put his hands on his face and smiled.

"I was so tired at that time, Asakura was still singing lyrics randomly when filming the show." Madoka Higuchi said coldly, she still remembers the crimes committed by her childhood sweetheart, even the scene when she was on the show when she just debuted Can recall, "However, in the end it was finally on the right track."

"Hey, that's right." Asakura responded, and she looked at Kaede Sakakibara again, "What's your name?"

"Sekaillumate."

"Is it shining in the world? Isn't that a good name?" Madoka Higuchi commented with a slight nod.

The boy smiled, the band has time to rehearse all day on weekends, hoping to become proficient as soon as possible.

The lyrics are not a problem, but the melody is something that takes time and effort.

Although there are many things and it seems that the pressure is quite high, the boy is enjoying the most brilliant and fulfilling time in his life.

He once thought that he wanted to do the job he liked. Although he had to bow to reality for money in his previous life, this time he was able to get what he wanted.

Shine brightly in this world.

"Okay, the rest time is over!" Kaede Sakakibara glanced at the time on the phone, clasped his hands together and said seriously, "We still have a small subject that we haven't reviewed yet."

"Eh..."

Toru Asakura dragged out his tone, but there was no reluctance on his face, instead he started to learn with great interest.

Her study is still the same, but at least it is much better than in the past. It is really something that makes the boy feel very fulfilled.

Higuchi Madoka once again found the uncomfortable smile on the boy's face, as if she felt a kind of sadness that people are dying but their words are good, she blinked her eyes, as if the expression on Sakakibara Kaede's face just now was just a flash in the pan .

"Thanks for your hard work."

After a long study period, the sky outside the window has completely turned red, and now the customers who come to the coffee shop are not here for afternoon tea, but for dinner.

Naturally, there are meals other than coffee in the coffee shop, such as pasta, omurice and other foods - the pink-haired chef in the kitchen has previously worked in a famous brand restaurant. In addition to the staple food, the cake is also very good. tasty.

"Do you want to eat cake? I highly recommend the cake here, you can treat it as a snack after dinner." Sakakihara Kaede asked when he got up to pay the bill.

Before Madoka Higuchi said anything, Toru Asakura nodded directly, "...Think about it."

"Hello..." Madoka Higuchi stared at the two people who started to interact with each other with cold eyes.

"What flavor would Asakura-san want?"

"Mmm...chocolate."

"Where's Higuchi-san?"

The two looked at Madoka Higuchi at the same time, and the latter folded his hands on his chest, and after a while, he said a word: "... Strawberry flavored."

Sakakibara Kaede came to the counter, and after paying the bill, he ordered eight small cakes, two for his students, and the other six to bring back to the dream apartment, to cheer for those high school students and juniors who are working hard.

Toru Asakura is somewhat accustomed to all this, after all, she often forgets to bring her wallet, and the money is paid by her childhood sweetheart.

Madoka Higuchi frowned, and accepted the cake with peace of mind after the boy said it was a return gift for the bento.

The three said goodbye to the shopkeeper, Jijisang, and opened the door, and what greeted them was the dusk of summer.

"How do you go back?" Kaede Sakakibara looked at the female high school students wearing the same school uniform and asked, "It's about 10 minutes away from Higuchi's house, so we need—"

"Let's go back." Madoka Higuchi said lightly, her tone was calm, "Aren't you still going to film the show tonight, so you don't need to see us off."

Higuchi Madoka refused in advance, she pulled Asakura Toru, turned around and left with her without looking back.

Kaede Sakakibara stood on the spot, watching the two of them leave, Toru Asakura walked a few steps back and waved at him, the boy did the same, waving vigorously with the hand that was not holding the cake, stirring it up. The heat of summer.

Go back to the apartment.

The boy squeezed onto the tram with the bag in hand.

At this time, the social animals who are off work are all white-collar workers with certain qualifications who have worked in the company.The college students who have just graduated are still working overtime in the company at this time, giving full play to their enthusiasm.

"good evening."

"Ah, welcome back, Sakakibara-senpai~"

Stepping into the entrance, she was greeted by Aoyama Nanami and Kasumigaoka Shiwa who were cooking in the open kitchen.

Kaede Sakakihara put the cake on the table, "Where are the others?"

"I haven't come back yet, I should still make up lessons."

Qingshan Qihai thought about it and said that her academic performance is indeed very good, but compared to those students who are pursuing improvement and wanting to enter a good university, she puts the focus of her life on pursuing her dreams.

She will have to go out to work part-time in a convenience store at night.

Such a figure of fighting for the dream is really brilliant.

Chapter 18 Big Brother!

"Do you need help?"

The boy changed into home clothes in his room, and went downstairs in white short sleeves.

The air conditioner in the dream apartment is naturally turned on all day long. Kaede Sakakibara pays attention to the temperature of the air conditioner in his bedroom. Don’t blow the air conditioner to catch a cold, it’s fun.

"No, it's a task assigned by the shooting team after all."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu smiled and refused, she seemed a little jerky about cooking, not as proficient as Aoyama Nanami.

Perhaps it can be said that among the six people in the dream apartment, apart from Kaede Sakakibara who has developed a lot of social skills, there is another person who can eat in front of anyone is Aoyama Nanami.

Commenting on Qingshan Qihai, the filming team will use the word down-to-earth to describe this girl who pursues her dreams, she has love for everyone, does not cause trouble to anyone, but is always a good person to help others - this is the case at the Suimei University of Arts affiliated When shooting Qingshan Qihai in colleges and universities, such plots are not uncommon.

"Are these brought to us?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu noticed the packaging box on the table, "Isn't this the famous coffee shop on ins? I heard that cakes can only be purchased by appointment."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Kaede Sakakibara does know that Starlight Cafe points [-]①⑦④Wujiu④⑨⑧ to upload her pictures to Twitter or ins for promotion, and sometimes uses the power of cats and cats to make chocolate and vanilla pose in different poses in front of the camera. The power of cats to attract customers is also a means of attracting people.

"The female students in our class are talking about it every day, and they want to try their luck at Starlight Coffee every day... I don't understand what it means to be lucky."

The corner of Sakakibara Kaede's mouth twitched, and he pretended to laugh, "I don't know either."

"What's the name of the light novel written by Xiazhi Qiusan? I may have read it, and I am your loyal reader."

The boy half-jokingly said that he didn't expect Kasumigaoka Shiyu to give the answer. Most of the writers of light novels would use pseudonyms, and they didn't want to be recognized - otherwise, the result might be the death of the society.

The work of a well-mannered, sunny, and smiling female writer may be a harem novel about ghosts and animals in another world.

After all, you know your face but you don't know your heart.

"Is Sakakibara-senpai so curious?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu blinked her red eyes, with a smile as intoxicated as wine, "This is a girl's secret."

While talking, she put the staple food of the day—salmon into the pot, and prepared to fry the skin until golden.

She raised her finger to cover her mouth, "I'll tell you next time I go shopping with Senior Sakakibara."

Aoyama Nanami blushed a little, apparently embarrassed by Kasumigaoka Shiwa's mature appearance, this scene was too lethal for Qingshan Nanami who was pure in heart.

Sakakibara Kaede also knew that Kasumigaoka Shiwa was joking, but looked at Aoyama Nanami's face. . .Xiazhiqiu Shiyu seems to have overdone it. If Qingshan Qihai faints, what will I do for dinner today?

"What's the schedule of the voice actor training class, Aoyama-san?" Sakakibara Kaede immediately changed the subject, bringing up the dream of Aoyama and Nanami.

The shyness and embarrassment in the girl's heart disappeared immediately, her face glowed, and she said with a smile: "I can receive professional guidance every day in a studio equipped with the same equipment as the scene, and it always feels a bit like being in a real The environment works the same."

"The daily training content is to practice vocalization, as well as dubbing exercises for different roles."

This is a bit like an actor, a seiyuu who only masters one tone is bound to be a dead end, exactly the same as an actor.

The boy naturally knew the importance of this exercise, he nodded, "This kind of exercise must be very competitive."

"Well, in addition to scholarships, some animation companies will come to our training class to select passerby characters..."
