I interpret life in Tokyo

"Did Sakakibara-senpai come to find the answer?"

"Who knows, maybe what I want is to know more about Guqiao-san."

"This answer is really, a bit cunning."

"Ah, it's your freedom to say it or not." Kaede Sakakibara said an unfamiliar line, showing a self-deprecating smile. There are reasons for the production team and his own reasons for being nosy.It is understandable to want to know more about schoolgirls and friends' stories.

After so many days of getting along, everyone has opened up their hearts in front of each other, only Fumino Guqiao, she is cheerful, optimistic, pure and natural, but she has never told anyone else, or asked curiously what.

"Senior Sakakibara, actually...my cooking skills are very poor." Fumino Furuhashi looked at the starry sky and said, "I was late at home a while ago because I joined the school's cooking club, and it turned out that I joined the club on the first day During the event, the classroom was almost set on fire."

"Ah."

Kaede Sakakibara nodded, he knew this himself, if one day it was his turn to cook dinner with Fumino Furuhashi, oh ho, the dinner that day would be terrible.

Although Sakakibara Kaede's cooking skills are terrible, he can still make instant noodles and soup, but Fumino Furuhashi is another heavyweight. Cutting vegetables will hurt his fingers, and frying meat will set the whole pot on fire. Using an oven Bake a steamed bun. . .Can bake black lava slimes.

"My mother is in the astronomy industry."

Facing the starry sky, the girl slowly monologues.

"My mother taught me all kinds of knowledge about astronomy since I was a child. My hobby soon became drawing different planets and stars on paper. I am familiar with each constellation and can accurately point out the position of each constellation. .”

Having said that, she smiled and pointed to the sky.

"Senior Sakakibara, there is Leo, um... the brighter one is Polaris. The one with Antares on it is Scorpio—"

The boy didn't understand astronomy, so he followed her fingers and looked towards the sky. Fumino Furuhashi whispered about how to identify the constellations. Although his eyes looked at the starry sky, it seemed that he was watching some distant things and people.

Sakakibara Kaede smiled very lightly, and he also thought of those fresh lives, the scenery he had passed through, and the friends who parted ways with him, or went all the way.

Finally turned into a memory.

But the memories have always been hidden in my heart, and I will never forget them. Occasionally, when I take out the photo album and flip through those yellowed old photos, the memories will come back, whether it is happy or uncomfortable. . .

She continued, "I've had this dream since I was a kid."

"I want to be an astronomer in the future, just like my mother."

"I like astronomy, and I like stars." Guqiao Wennai turned his head away with his hands behind his back, "Sometimes, when I see something related to astronomy, I will miss it."

"The people who died didn't disappear completely."

The boy looked up to the sky, "They still exist in our hearts, as long as we never forget, they will not disappear."

"I will carry their beliefs, their dreams, and their expectations forward."

When Sakakihara Kaede said this, for some reason, he thought of the original owner's mother who died of illness. Although her face is slightly blurred now, Sakakihara Kaede still remembers her gentle and tolerant smile lying on the hospital bed .

"I used to want to be a musician."

The original owner's dream in the past came out of Kaede Sakakibara's mouth naturally, and he squeezed out a smile to Fumino Furuhashi, "At that time, because of my mother, I loved music very, very much, and even thought that I came here just for music. raw."

"It's just... well, everything in the world is not so perfect." The boy smiled, and he let out a breath, "I'm pursuing my dream in another way."

"Did Sakakibara-senpai mean the band?"

Guqiao Wennai didn't turn around, she quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked in a brisk tone.

"Ah."

Baiyin Yuxing stood in the distance, he pursed his lips.

He also has unspoken dreams. In the past, he also liked stars very much.

The dream of becoming an astronomer had to be put on hold due to practical reasons. He raised his head, blowing behind his ears with his blond hair.

He can also recognize the stars and constellations in the sky.

"I, want to talk to Dad."

"Ah."

"I want to tell my father what I think, what I like, and what I miss."

"Ah."

"puff--"

Fumino Guqiao turned around, his eyes were warm and a little watery, and he grinned, "Senior Sakakibara is sometimes gentle like an older brother, but sometimes he is indifferent like a passerby."

"Because it's your dream."

Sakakibara Kaede stared at the girl, and looked away after a while, "I will encourage you, I will cheer for you, but I will not make you feel psychologically burdened, and make you feel that your dream is something you have to accomplish."

Really. . .The sense of distance is also very good. Senior Sakakibara, Fumino Furuhashi chuckled, but at this moment, she was very grateful for Kaede Sakakibara's indifference to maintain a sense of distance. The conversation seemed to flow smoothly, one-sided What you get in exchange for talking is not new ideas and attention, but recognition and cheering, which is really great.

"By the way, speaking of the band, I can't wait for Shining World to release its first album."

That's the end of the heavy topic, Fumino Guqiao quickly returned to his usual natural appearance and asked.

"It's almost there, all the songs have been recorded, and they should be released by the end of September, right?"

Kaede Sakakibara said without much hesitation, "Our first album is divided into two parts, each with 32 songs, and a collection of [-] songs."

"Wow, isn't that a lot, Mr. Sakakibara is so busy, is the schedule available?"

"It's okay, I'll be free when the dream apartment is finished shooting."

The urban trio who cleaned up the ingredients went back and forth, and Kaede Sakakibara continued to sort out the work at hand, and today's day came to a successful end.

Back in the room, he found an acoustic guitar in the closet of the room, and he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Why is there a bad feeling, the production team will not want to show their talents tomorrow, right?This feeling. . .It's a bit like when relatives and friends come to the house as guests, parents routinely let their children show off their talents by playing the piano, singing and talking about cross talk.

The others went to bed very early, and they ran outside for a day today. After all the lights went out, Kaede Sakakibara carried the guitar on his back, went downstairs to change his shoes, and pushed open the door of the holiday cottage.

In such a quiet time, he really wanted to go out and walk alone, alone.

He doesn't like to be alone, but sometimes only when he is alone can he take a breath, disarm his whole body, and show his tired side.

Mai Sakurajima once said that people have two sides. The current classmate who laughs and eats happily in school may be a hard worker who studies all kinds of fashion news behind his back.

What about yourself?

He is quite satisfied with himself now, he gets along well with everyone, he is friends with everyone, and he smiles when he meets everyone.

What is the real him like?

Sakakibara Kaede himself doesn’t know the answer. When he goes to the countryside to do as the Romans do, people will change. In the past, he was busy with 996 running and working, all he wanted was to make a living, but now he has the courage to try to realize his dream.

The sea breeze at night was gentle, and Kaede Sakakibara looked at the dark blue sea that was close to black, so it was naturally impossible to go into the water to play.

He froze for a moment, and being able to come up with this idea proved that the current self has at least a little nostalgia for this world—he used to seriously think about whether he would return to the past world if he was hit by the truck again.

"..."

He heard light breathing.

Sakakibara Kaede turned his head, and unexpectedly saw Chizuru Ichinose following him not far behind, looking guilty. After being discovered by him, he let out a mournful cry and hurriedly hid behind a telegraph pole beside him.

That yellow dress is too conspicuous.

Sakakibara Kaede couldn't laugh or cry, "Ichinose-san, it's so late, why are you following me?"

"It's not because Sakakibara-senpai doesn't sleep at night, I'm worried about you, so I ran out."

Ichinose Chizuru stood up, her face flushed pink from anger or something, "I still want to ask Sakakihara-senpai, why did you leave alone at such a night?"

"Um...a walk."

"Who would believe it!"

Ichinose Chizuru's complaints were still in place as always, Sakakibara Kaede smiled, and continued to walk forward with the guitar on her back.

Ichinose Chizuru bit her lower lip and hurriedly followed.

There was one more person, but Sakakihara Kaede didn't feel any discomfort. He walked forward alone, stepping on the starlight.

Seeing that Sakakibara-senpai was walking so fast, Ichinose Chizuru hurried up a few steps and walked side by side with him.

Seeing him looking at her suspiciously, the girl snorted and the corners of her mouth turned up.

Chapter 37 Summer Afterglow in Kamakura

"It feels like it's been a long time since I took a walk with Sakakibara-senpai."

The girl walking beside her put her hands behind her back and chuckled lightly.

"No, it's too exaggerated. We have only left Tokyo for a few days." The boy complained, "It should be that we didn't act together after we were divided into groups."

"Ah."

Now Ichinose Chizuru looks very relaxed, probably because there is no camera behind her to keep track of her every move.

Because of the program, Chizuru Ichinose, who has not yet fully debuted, doesn’t know that she already has some hidden fans—she doesn’t know, or doesn’t care much about the appearance rate on the program, just do a good job own business.

"Senior Sakakibara, what are you doing tomorrow?"

"There is no arrangement yet, do you have any plans?"

Chizuru Ichinose pursed her lips, and said in deliberation, "I have discussed with Aoyama-san and Kasumi-san Qiusan, and we want to go out to sea by boat tomorrow... Do you want to join us?"

Kaede Sakakibara hummed, "I think this plan is good, but let's discuss it at breakfast tomorrow morning. I personally have no objections."

"Ah."

The footsteps gradually stopped, and the two walked down the steps. The asphalt road under their feet turned into soft fine sand. Standing on the beach at night, enjoying the tranquility and peace of no one, it felt surprisingly good.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, only Xia Chan greeted them. Along with the peaceful tide of the sea, Kaede Sakakibara sat on a wooden chair with his guitar across his chest.

"Is Sakakibara-senpai going to practice singing?"

Chizuru Ichinose felt that she seemed to have grasped the truth. Senior Sakakibara sneaked out with his instrument so late, probably because he wanted to practice but didn't want to disturb his sleeping friends under the same roof.

The boy nodded. He brought the instrument out to sing, but he didn't want to practice, but just to express his mood.

In ancient times, when someone relieved their depressed mood, they toasted and invited the bright moon, and they formed three people with their shadows, and wrote the classics handed down from generation to generation.

Today's Kaede Sakakibara wants to express his current mood with lyrics and music.

"Hey, which song are you singing? Wow, wow, wow."

Chizuru Ichinose unceremoniously sat beside Kaede Sakakibara. She got up belatedly and patted it back, and then sat down again, "I have heard all the short video songs released by Shining World, so as long as When Sakakibara-senpai opened his mouth, I knew what the song was!"

Facing the fans beside him, Kaede Sakakibara smiled. This was the first time he, Yuuma Miura and Maki Nishikino sang outside after forming a band.

The last time I sang like this was the chaosmyth song that warmed my body and mind when I was facing my friends.

Today, under the stars, what should I sing?

In fact, the boy already had the answer in his heart. When he listened to the story of Fumino Guqiao, her past and future ideals, he felt a desire to speak up.

In the past, he was very similar to Fumino Furuhashi.

The strings moved lightly, and the slender fingers plucked the strings. The crisp, warm tone of the wooden guitar slowly enveloped the sky, and gradually stretched out its hand towards the sea.

"Just the thought of another day. How did we end up this way. What did we do wrong?"

The clear tone is accompanied by the leisurely guitar sound, echoing in the sea.

The boy looked at the stars in the sky, and now he seems to have returned to the boy who pursued his dream under the starry sky in the first scene.

Only now, he gradually changed from running to watching others run.

Ichinose Chizuru covered her mouth, she knew the song, just. . .I didn't expect Kaede Sakakibara to sing so well with only guitar accompaniment!

Be the light, be the light, be the star in the sky.

In fact, he wanted to give this song to Fumino Guqiao even more today. . .But after thinking about it, the future is not without opportunities.

After the album was released, it was time to ask if it was possible to hold a concert-he still needed to help Yuma Miura fulfill his dream.

At that time, it will not be easy to give Guqiao Fuminai a few tickets.

Ichinose Chizuru clutched her chest, now she suddenly knew why Sakurajima Mai made a video of Sakakibara-senpai singing that day.

because. . .Sakakibara-senpai sang really nicely. His voice, face and his aura make the whole song sound full of sunshine and positive energy, and there is also a gentle youthful spirit that belongs to Sakakibara-senpai alone.

As the guitar accompaniment gradually slowed down, Kaede Sakakibara let out a long sigh of relief and inhaled a lot of evening wind. He turned his face and found Chizuru Ichinose looking at him.

Those big talking eyes, which Iida-san praised, hide the light of distant stars.

"It sounds so good." Chizuru Ichinose was in a trance for a while, and quickly looked away and began to applaud, "I will definitely buy the ticket to shine in the world at that time!"
