I interpret life in Tokyo

"Higuchi-san, good morning."

"It's already afternoon, Sakakibara-san."

In front of the B&B, Kaede Sakakihara looked away from the bus parked by the side road, noticed the basket in Madoka Higuchi's hand, and understood, "Did Higuchi-san also go to the hot springs?"

"Obvious."

Sakakibara Kaede took out the map, identified the location, and then walked forward.

Higuchi Madoka walked beside him silently.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Madoka Higuchi finished speaking, she didn't hear a sound, she looked sideways and found Kaede Sakakibara staring at her in surprise, she couldn't help but feel a burst of displeasure.

Is it so surprising to say a word of concern yourself?

Sensing Madoka Higuchi's dangerous gaze, Kaede Sakakibara coughed lightly, and looked forward.

"Thank you, I was really tired yesterday. How do you understand Higuchi-san's character?"

"...have some problem."

"Oh?"

"I don't understand the idea of ​​​​the role I got." Higuchi Madoka said, the smile she showed to the camera during the audition was very intoxicating. It was not a polite and polite smile to the fans, but to the audience. Warm smile.

There is also a difference between a smile and a meaning.

When she was watching the reality show shot by Kaede Sakakibara, she specially observed Chizuru Ichinose and Shiwa Kasumigaoka who walked closer to Kaede Sakakibara.

Ichinose Chizuru sometimes shows a silly smile, but she is definitely not stupid, she just uses this kind of smile to ease, or make the transition of the conversation more natural.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu is different. She seems to know all the secrets to bring the relationship between men and women closer. Every move and smile she shows in front of the camera makes the audience go crazy with admiration. Among them are many high school boys of her age.

She is well known in Toyosaki Academy. . .Even though it was famous before.

Although Ichinose Chizuru specially learned a little technique when she was preparing to rent a girlfriend, but it was still not enough for Kasumigaoka Shiwa.

Is this because she is the author of the novel?

Madoka Higuchi didn't know that the author of a novel needs to have a brain and a wealth of experience to be able to write words that are catchy to readers. Kasumigaoka Shiwa knows so well, maybe she is writing romance novels.

With the attitude of learning, Madoka Higuchi learned her smile from Kasumigaoka Shiwa on TV.

Then, roles such as Asahina Nana were obtained.

"Asahina Nana?"

"Ah."

"Asahina Nana is a vigorous character, um... she is also the most staunch supporter of the protagonist, and she is also a character who silently likes the protagonist."

Kaede Sakakibara squirmed his lips, and secretly glanced at Madoka Higuchi, and found that the latter was staring at him, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

"Your eyes are rude."

"Ahem...I mean, such a role is quite a challenge for Higuchi-san."

"..."

"How about this, let's discuss with each other after soaking in the hot springs and talk about understanding the roles." Sakakibara Kaede said, "When I was playing a character role before, I met several similar characters. We can discuss the role issues. Discuss it."

"Discussion...Like a private discussion in the living room after you and Xia Zhiqiusan took a shower?"

"Eh? Hmm."

Halfway through the conversation, the two of them stood in front of the hot spring. There was only a male bath and a female bath, and there was no mixed bath that prevailed in Two-dimensional.

Of course, mixed bathing is not one man and one woman, but one man and multiple women.

"See you later."

"Ah."

Walking into the locker, there are more people in the afternoon on the rest day, and most of them are children.He changed his clothes, put them in the basket, and walked into the bathing area with towels and toiletries.

Wash away the tiredness and dirt on your body here, and then enter the hot spring to wash your soul.

Putting the towel on his head, Kaede Sakakibara pushed open the door, found a corner with few people, sank his body into the water, and sighed like an old man.

This fast-paced shooting really made him feel a little tired. He had to spend time to adjust today, and tomorrow was a new day waiting for him.

I should ask Ken Sano about how he rests. Every day is full of work and auditions, so he is really an iron man.

Sitting cross-legged on the bottom of the water, sink half of your head into the water, like an old monk in meditation.

After soaking for about 10 minutes, Sakakibara Kaede felt a little dizzy, so he got up and left from the hot spring. The wind blowing in front of him was a bit cool, and it was very refreshing on his hot body.

After washing up, the boy came to the lounge. His legs were a little weak, but he was more relieved. The fatigue from climbing the wall yesterday was accumulated in his legs. I believe that after a good night's sleep, It's not a problem for him to climb the wall a dozen times.

He noticed Madoka Higuchi, she was leaning on the sofa in the corner, wiping her still wet hair with a towel, her face was flushed, and her whole body revealed a faint breath of water mist, which was visible but intangible.

Kaede Sakakihara paused for a moment in front of the vending machine, and came to Madoka Higuchi with two cans of drinks.

"Here."

He handed out the fruit milk in his hand, "This taste is sweeter, you should like it."

Madoka Higuchi took the glass bottle and took a sip after opening the lid. It was indeed very sweet. It tasted as sweet as a banana and was delicious.

"What are you drinking?"

"Coffee milk, the sweetness is okay."

"Sakakibara-san likes sweets, right?"

Sakakibara Kaede swallowed the drink in his mouth, and nodded when he heard the words, "In the contest between sweet and salty, I will definitely choose sweet."

For some reason, Madoka Higuchi's mood relaxed a lot, she drank the fruit milk in small sips, and cast her eyes out of the window, which was full of green mountains.

The two of them were in a daze for a while, digesting the heat in their bodies, their bodies were limp, and they couldn't walk.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

Picking up the basket, the return journey was extremely long. The two walked along the road on the sidewalk, and the passing farm vehicles passed by, revealing bursts of laughter and local accents.

The breeze is blowing, with the feeling of autumn.

"Is summer in Kamakura the same?"

"...It's about the same. If you rely on the feeling, it does have the same lazy atmosphere. It's just that I went to Kamakura for vacation, but this time I came to Nagano for work."

Kaede Sakakibara walked on the side of the road, and moved towards Madoka Higuchi who was walking on the inside.

"But Higuchi-san is graduating soon, do you have any plans for travel? For example, travel with Asakura-san or something."

"I'm thinking about it."

"I'm really looking forward to traveling by car. In the future, I plan to buy a car for a casual trip." The boy put his arm on the back of his head and stretched himself. "I want to go to Kamakura again."

Madoka Higuchi didn't continue talking, she seemed to have heard from Ms. Nanakusa that the MV shooting location for Noctchill's next album was by the sea.

Next time, I will secretly remind you to go to Kamakura. Go see the scenery that Sakakibara has seen before, step on the footprints left by him, and see the same sea as far as you can see.

Back at the hotel, rough laughter came from the lounge, and Sakakihara Kaede looked inside, speechless.

Some played mahjong, some played cards, and some watched TV and chatted about the mountains. More than a dozen old men laughed loudly and held beers in their hands.

"Where are the actresses?"

"Let's all rest in the room." Madoka Higuchi gave him a blank look, as if he thought this question was strange.

Sakakibara Kaede nodded. The rest that men talk about is bragging, playing cards and drinking, which is really reasonable.

"Whose room are you going to?"

Madoka Higuchi clenched her lower lip, and looked at Kaede Sakakibara with trashy eyes, "Do you finally want to stretch out your magic claws to your colleagues, Mr. Perverted."

"Aren't you going to analyze the characters? You don't have to do it in the lounge." Sakakibara Kaede scratched the side of his face. Who can understand the grievance of being misunderstood?

Madoka Higuchi took a deep breath, and left a word when Kaede Sakakibara thought she was going to turn around and leave.

"Your room."

Chapter 15 Do you understand that a teacher is like a father?

"What kind of person is Nana Asahina?"

"It's not like mine, someone I can't imagine."

"..."

Sakakihara Kaede was speechless for a while, Higuchi-san, you are too straightforward, it makes it difficult for me to answer.

The window was opened a crack, and a cool breeze blew into the room. Kaede Sakakibara and Madoka Higuchi sat cross-legged on the tatami, with thick manuscripts on the low table.

The boy leaned back in the chair, looking at the manuscript in his hand, "Such a role should be easy to imagine..."

Of course, this sentence was just a thought in my heart, and I didn't say it outright.

Madoka Higuchi is Madoka Higuchi, not anyone else, and it is acceptable whether you have never met such a person before or have never experienced similar feelings.

"Does Higuchi-san remember the first time we played against each other?"

Kaede Sakakibara remembered the experience of the two when they first filmed a graduation commercial. They were also secretly in love, but that time it was a two-way love, and this time it was just Madoka Higuchi's unrequited love.

"remember."

Madoka Higuchi knew what Kaede Sakakibara wanted to say, it was the same as that crush, as long as he fell in love again.

She looked at Sakakibara Kaede's blue eyes and tried hard to get back the feeling at that time.

That kind of feeling that makes people feel warm, itchy, and wants to feel the other person's body temperature.

"It's not just a crush." ​​Kaede Sakakibara looked at the manuscript and said softly, "It's a feeling of love at first sight. If the crush in the graduation advertisement is three years of companionship, then this time..."

"I just glanced at you in the crowd, and I can't forget your face anymore, similar to this feeling." The boy used a lyric to describe this feeling, and he added with his chin resting, "To be honest, I don't have any feelings for love at first sight." What experience."

Madoka Higuchi stared into Kaede Sakakibara's eyes for a moment, then looked away, half-sarcastically, "Sakakibara-san told me that love is something to fall into, you won't forget it, right?"

The boy was speechless, he had really forgotten that at that time his mind was full of love stories, and he was not surprised when he felt it, but now he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the script, and he let go of the love part.

There is more than just emotion in life.

Just like love is not the only thing in the daily life of youth, campus, friendship, career, the purest connection between men and women.

Kaede Sakakibara didn’t think much about love. He usually watched crime-solving dramas when he was bored. Although he participated in many youth school dramas, he only watched the daily ones of our high school students. .

"I think in this regard, Higuchi-san might as well imitate the newly graduated actors in the STARS agency."

Kaede Sakakibara made a suggestion, "Asahina Nana came to Tokyo with the goal of becoming an actress. For example, she is like a green flower with a girl's romance and innocence in her mind. Higuchi-san doesn't think this is the same as every A graduate of the firm, does that look a lot like looking forward to the future?"

Madoka Higuchi pursed her lips, a junior suddenly popped up in her mind, although it was impolite to think so, but she thought she could see some shadow of Asahina Nana in Chizuru Ichinose.

Seeing that Madoka Higuchi seemed to have got the answer and decided to go, Kaede Sakakibara got up and sent her to the door, "If you have any questions, come and knock on the door at any time, you live next door, don't you?"

"Don't bother you."

"You don't need to be too polite between friends." Kaede Sakakibara said helplessly, Madoka Higuchi maintains a sense of distance more cautiously than him, and any opponent who crosses the line will automatically retreat a little distance, "Auntie, please let me take care of you, Higuchi-san , besides being friends, we are also teachers and students. There is a saying in the past that a teacher is like a father—”

"Snapped."

Madoka Higuchi closed the door.

Kaede Sakakibara sighed, Madoka Higuchi still doesn't understand the principle of being a teacher for one day and being a father for life.

After a while, he sneered. When Toru Asakura came to visit the university before, he seemed to be very interested in their give and give. After they entered school, there would be teachings from the emperor. It would not be difficult for Toru Asakura to take Madoka Higuchi into the water. thing.

Jie Jie Jie Jie.

After closing the door, Sakakibara Kaede returned to the table and continued to flip through the unfinished manuscript.

He decided to go downstairs to play cards and watch TV with those male actors after reading these two pages.

After a day of rest, the well-rested actors are ready to go again. There is no problem with the plot of the first day of filming, and today we can continue.

However, the filming task was really rushed. Kaede Sakakihara learned about their progress from Kiyoshi Takenaka, drank the miso soup in one gulp, and followed the actors onto the bus.

Today, his shooting location is very familiar. It is in the Nagano Mountains that he saw on the video call. After the actors arrived, they entered the open-air dressing room for final preparations. Just need to fix my hair.

Anything that stands out is a truth.
