I interpret life in Tokyo

"Well, I've been to their house before, and the five sisters of the Nakano family live together."

When Mai Sakurajima heard this, she was immediately taken aback. She is not short of money. Although it seems to be showing off, it is true. Her usual expenses are just a little more than ordinary female high school students, and almost all of them are Most of them are skin care products for maintenance and beauty. She even spends less on food than female high school students, because she strictly controls her diet and rarely goes out to eat and drink. This is a qualitative difference from Sakakibara Kaede.

If you can find a large tower that can accommodate multiple people, then it is indeed a good way to share the rent.

She looked at Madoka Higuchi, who was slightly startled, not knowing what Mai Sakurajima wanted to say, and when she leaned into her ear and whispered the plan in her heart, Madoka Higuchi pursed his lips.

She also thinks that this method is good, but she needs to discuss it with Asakura, and the more such co-tenants live, the cheaper the rent will be shared, but co-tenancy will make the management of the room chaotic, if you want to be fair, you can only Imitate the worksheet drawn by the production team of the dream apartment reality show, and everyone should work according to the above schedule.

Sakakihara Kaede paused his steps, he walked to the side shop and looked at the window for a long time.

What caught his attention was the glow clock, which was lined up in shops full of red and green Christmas styles, full of electronic tube punk style glow clocks. It was introduced that it was made of glow tubes left over from the Soviet Union. There is a legacy of the Cold War.

He naturally knew that the Glow Clock also had a device of a similar style in the animation "Steins;Gate". Kaede Sakakibara thought this device was very cool, and it would be even better if the recipient of the gift was a Two-dimensional one.

After wrapping the gift with colorful ribbons, Kaede Sakakibara felt relieved when the task was completed. When he had time, he went to the small shop next door and began to look at the strange gadgets lined up on the shelves.

"Have you bought the gift, Sakakibara-san?"

"I've bought it, I think the other party will like the gift I received very much." Kaede Sakakibara smiled at Madoka Higuchi, "Has Higuchi-san decided what to buy?"

"this."

In her tender palm lay an old-fashioned coin, which looked a bit old, but it was just that the manufacturer deliberately made the coin old.

"Is this a commemorative coin?"

Higuchi Madoka did not answer, she pressed lightly and flipped a few switches on the coin. The originally small coin made the sound of gears turning. On the coin was a warrior holding a lamp. At this time, it turned into a machete.

"It turned out to be a mechanism coin. It looks quite interesting. I suddenly want to buy one too."

Madoka Higuchi glanced at him, "Maybe you got it at the Christmas party?"

"It's a little less likely."

"Then I'll buy one for you." Madoka Higuchi took back the steps he was about to take, and blinked at the boy with those indifferent purple eyes, "Or, do you think this is the case for you?" Christmas presents are too cheap."

"...I've always believed that gifts are about bringing smiles."

"In this way, are you Mr. Kamen Rider, Goshiro-kun?"

"Haha, but that's what I really mean. Gifts are meant to bring happiness to people, and it doesn't matter how valuable the gift is. Sometimes, when the gift is realized, the recipient will also feel it."

Madoka Higuchi snorted softly, "Generation coins or [-] yen, what do you choose?"

"Organ currency."

"Generation coins and a car, what do you choose?"

"Hiss...you are testing me." Sakakibara Feng's lips squirmed for a moment, but he was still defeated by reality after all. He raised his eyebrows and said openly, "That must be a car."

The corners of Higuchi Madoka's mouth curled up slightly, then she glanced down and tried her best to put away that smile. She carefully selected the shelves for a while, and then walked towards the cashier.

Kaede Sakakibara has experience shopping with women. He has been shopping with Mai Sakurajima before, and now Kashima Yu and Madoka Higuchi are no different. He just needs to faithfully play the image of the bag carrier.

While Madoka Higuchi was checking out, Kaede Sakakibara sat aside and watched the group chat on the line. After following the trend and sent a few rereads, Kaede Sakakibara learned from Koichiro Yuki about their preparations for Christmas until the first month of next year . . .He said it so clearly for the sake of the construction period, so that Sakakibara Feng would not be able to find anyone if he had something to do.

I heard that they will go to some family for the festival next year, Sakakihara Feng clicked his tongue, is this the gold content of the rich young master?

Hearing Madoka Higuchi's footsteps, Kaede Sakakibara put down the phone.

"this..."

The girl was carrying a chain, and on the chain was a small but meticulously crafted mechanism coin. After a closer look, Sakakibara Kaede found that the front of the coin was a prince facing the left, holding a long sword in his hand , the lines stretched out behind his head, looking mighty and unrivaled.

"Wow, handsome. Is this a Christmas present from Higuchi-san?" Sakakihara Kaede asked with a smile.

Madoka Higuchi hesitated for a moment, nodded, and handed the coin to the boy.

After taking the coin, Kaede Sakakibara played with it in his hand. He found that the chain was really good. I don't know if the store tied it to the coin from the beginning or Madoka Higuchi requested it. Mainstream necklace.

Seeing Kaede Sakakibara falling in love with her, Madoka Higuchi could not put it down, her originally slightly indifferent temperament changed a little softer at this time, she turned sideways, and looked at the two mechanism coins in her satchel.

One was going to be given as a gift at a Christmas party, and this one has a cat and a dog engraved on it. The two animals are running around the front and back of the coin, which looks quite cute.

On the front of the other one is a princess looking to the right. She also holds a long sword in her hand, and the sunlight spreads out from the back of her head.

Madoka Higuchi pressed a few buttons with his fingers, and the long sword on the coin turned into a bouquet of flowers.

Immediately, she zipped up the bag.

"What about them?"

"Just went upstairs to buy gifts."

"Then let's go for a walk?"

Higuchi Madoka accepted Kaede Sakakibara's proposal. It was a rare time to come out. It seemed the most efficient to go home after buying gifts. She would choose to do this in the past, but at this moment, she struggled to find a reason to stay here.

Sakakibara Kaede’s shopping desire is very low. The most important thing is to enjoy the festive atmosphere. At this moment, people have no troubles on their faces, only longing for the festival. Such beauty makes Sakakibara Kaede stop for a long time.

He longed for such beauty. . .It's just that he knows that such a beauty cannot be held in his hands forever, he needs to fight for it by himself, or he needs to bring this beauty to the people around him.

"Where does Sakakibara-san want to go in the future?"

The boy was surprised, Madoka Higuchi glanced at him, and said lightly, "Asakura and I want to go to the beach in the future."

"It turned out to be this future. I thought it was in the distant future."

"..."

"In a short time, I also want to go to the beach." Sakakibara Kaede looked at the splendid world outside the window, a rare look of admiration appeared on his face, as if he was recalling something in the past, turning into a cloud of smoke in the past "Of course, I also like the cherry blossom rain in spring. Does Higuchi-san know that when you walk in from the main entrance of the University of Tokyo, you will be greeted by cherry blossom petals like a drizzle."

"I want to go to Kamakura to see the sea in summer, I want to go to Kyoto to see maple leaves in autumn, and I want to go to Hokkaido to soak in hot springs in winter."

"There are so many places I want to go, Mr. Actor."

Sakakibara Kaede's face was slightly bitter. According to his schedule, unless he wants to rest for a whole season, it is impossible to go on a long trip.

"Isn't the band going to shoot an MV? You can take this opportunity to propose to Miss Nanakusa to go to the beach." Madoka Higuchi suggested softly.

Sakakibara Kaede's eyes lit up, and he leaned on the railing with a smile, "This method is good."

Madoka Higuchi stared at the side face illuminated by the sun, she suddenly felt that the boy in front of her. . .No, young man, being so close to her, she mustered up the courage to step into the distance, but the other party didn't take a step back.

It's so gentle, like the temperature of autumn maple leaves brushing across your face.

Chapter 32 Gifts

Light snow fell on the way home, and after saying goodbye to Mai Sakurajima and Yu Kashima who were still on the train, Kaede Sakakibara held up an umbrella and looked at Madoka Higuchi.

The latter didn't bring it. Madoka Higuchi searched in the small bag for a while, but finally gave up. She forgot to bring an umbrella when she went out, and her mother didn't remind her.

The station is not far from home, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk against the snow, but the hair will inevitably be wet when I go home.

"Let's go."

The umbrella reached over her head.

"Ah."

Madoka Higuchi cleared his throat, came under the umbrella, and left the subway station side by side with Kaede Sakakibara.

She once heard Koito say that a man and a woman share the same umbrella, and the relationship between them must be a relationship of lovers.

"Tonight's dinner."

"Ah, I want to solve it myself without bothering Aunt Higuchi and..."

"and?"

Madoka Higuchi activated the imperial engine in an instant, she blinked her purple eyes, and squinted at Kaede Sakakibara next to her when her opponent breathed out.

The young man sighed, and then smiled. The time he and Kasumigaoka Shiwa ate at Higuchi's house in the cafeteria, after her intentional or unintentional reminder, Sakakibara Kaede vaguely sensed the possibility of Higuchi Madoka cooking. sex.

He remembered that Madoka Higuchi had a Band-Aid on his hand for a while, and he probably didn't think much about it at the time. Kaede Sakakibara is not a fool, and now he naturally knows why his bento has made frequent mistakes at the beginning, and now it is delicious.

"Nothing, just wanted to thank you."

"I'm practicing cooking for myself, because I'm going to move out." Madoka Higuchi looked straight ahead, and said lightly, "Sakakibara-san is just my experimental subject."

Facing the setting sun, the two closed their mouths for a while, narrowed their eyes, the road was shining brightly with falling snow, and the road home seemed long and far away, with no end in sight.

"Higuchi-san, do you need me to do something for you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Exercising cooking skills has saved me a lot of expenses, and I would like to thank Higuchi-san."

Madoka Higuchi gritted her teeth, and at this moment, she felt the sense of distance again—sighed in her heart, Sakakibara-san used to be this close to her who would stand up to everyone.

"Will you and Uehara-san say thank you?"

"...I don't know how to say it very much, what's the matter?"

"There is no need to say thank you between friends."

Madoka Higuchi snorted awkwardly, Kaede Sakakibara grinned.

"It turned out that Higuchi-san had already regarded me as a friend. That's great. I thought Higuchi-san only had relatives, childhood sweethearts and others in his eyes."

Higuchi Madoka stared coldly at Sakakibara Kaede, who hadn't been treated with such eyes for a long time, let alone, even had some nostalgia.

She sighed softly, and the mist gushed out of her mouth, turned into water mist and disappeared.

"If you want to say thank you, it's me."

It's just that the voice was too low, and Sakakihara Kaede didn't hear it.

It took a little longer than before, Kaede Sakakibara delivered Madoka Higuchi to her home, the girl stroked her short wine-red hair, and walked up the steps in three steps.

She thought about it, and seeing that Sakakihara Feng was still waiting outside the house, she knew that he would not be relieved of the gift until he saw her enter the house.

Madoka Higuchi looked back, "Thank you for taking me home."

"On the way."

Through the thin snow, Kaede Sakakibara seemed to see the faint smile on the corner of Madoka Higuchi's mouth. This kind of smile can only be seen in the TV series and movies she participated in. She rarely smiles in daily life.

Although Madoka Higuchi said thank you, Kaede Sakakibara felt that she regarded herself as a friend—according to what the girl said just now, friends should not say thank you.

After walking along the road for another ten minutes, Sakakihara Kaede came to his rental house.

There was a series of footprints in front of the mailbox. Seeing this, Kaede Sakakibara opened the mailbox and found a thin letter inside.

He didn't intend to see who was so romantic in the ice and snow. He wrote letters to himself in the high-tech era, and automatically ruled out Iida Gui and other firm leaders and partners in his mind. They either contacted by phone or email.

After returning home and turning on the heater, Kaede Sakakibara took off his coat and hung it aside, leaning cross-legged on the heater, feeling the heat from his back to his whole body, he let out a comfortable sigh, enjoy it.

He took the letter, weighed it, and frowned.

Sakakibara Kaede has watched a lot of spy movies. With this thickness, there is a high probability that it is not a letter, but money.

Sure enough, the letter contained thick 1 yuan banknotes. Sakakibara Kaede frowned slightly. When he saw a letter, he calmed down his curiosity and opened it.

The letter was handwritten in Japanese, and there was a touch of agility between the lines, but the overall impression was regular.

The master of the letter is the father.

Kaede Sakakibara scratched his temples. In his impression, the original owner's father had been working in other places, and he was busier than Madoka Higuchi's father with business such as going abroad.

The letter was indeed sent by the original owner's father, and there was a hint of guilt and a little pride between the lines. He obviously didn't know where in the world he heard the name of Kaede Sakakibara, and when he saw his face, he immediately recognized that it was him. Son Yun Yun.

These yen are the living expenses he sent to Kaede Sakakibara, including the living expenses that he had not received after graduating from high school.

Did he come to get a share of the pie after seeing his son become famous, or was it simply the guilt of being a father?Sakakihara Kaede named it the latter.

At the end of the letter, he expressed a little awkwardly that he has a new friend in Tokyo. The other party is also a single-parent family with two daughters. Next time, if Kaede Sakakibara is willing, he can visit him. This is the new home he prepared for Kaede Sakakibara.

Sakakibara Kaede grinned, smiled, and the smile gradually faded. He looked at the window beside him, maintaining a leaning posture.

"That's great, Sakakibara Kaede."

He said softly, with some relief in his voice, "Father loves you and has prepared a new home for you."

There was no response, and there was no setting that the unwilling soul of the original owner still lodged somewhere on his body in the fairy tale novels. Sakakihara Kaede sat like this for a while, and then straightened up.

At the end of the letter, two addresses were given. Kaede Sakakihara checked it on the map. One was a house in a residential area, and the other was a hospital.

Is the other party working in a hospital?

Sakakihara Kaede didn't know the answer. If his father hadn't contacted him before, he wouldn't feel any loss. He was just a person who took over his body and didn't belong to this world.

But the arrival of this letter made him fall into a momentary confusion. He sighed and decided to check the situation of that house after filming Kamen Rider. It doesn't mean severing contact, after all, they are innocent.
