I interpret life in Tokyo

"Ah, Ishida-sensei, here's a toast to you."

Seeing the mason sitting beside him, Sakakihara Kaede quickly raised his cup and smiled.

The latter had just finished dealing with the staff's mess, and now he was still a little dumbfounded. He raised the wine cup and clinked glasses with Kaede Sakakibara.

"Sakakibara-kun, don't drink too much." The stonemason coughed. Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede quickly went to the tissue, and lightly hammered Ishida-sensei's back with his arm.

"--thanks."

The stone mason wiped the alcohol from the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Sakakihara-kun and the other leading actors have worked hard this week. It is your performance that bought us time to rest."

"It's all the efforts of everyone." Sakakihara Kaede's face was filled with a smile. Although he and his crew members were in different places, the connection between them could not be organized or cut off by distance.Not to mention the daily work report, in the group of the crew, you can often see them complaining excitedly after filming a scene.

The mason's breathing calmed down, he cleared his throat, and took another sip of wine, "I've had this thought since I was casting the cast, Sakakibara-kun really looks like Godai-kun."

Sakakihara Kaede blinked, not knowing what Ishida-sensei was implying or expressing.

Seeing that Kaede Sakakihara didn't understand, perhaps he pretended to be polite and pretended to understand, and said with a chuckle, "I'm referring to your overall impression, which is very similar to Fifth Lord."

"It's character, it's choice, it's facial expression." Ishikawa murmured, "I even feel that Sakakibara-kun is acting in his true colors."

Sakakihara Feng's heart froze, he quickly took a sip of wine to cover up his possible gaffe.In all fairness, it was not as difficult for him to play the role of Wu Daijun as he imagined.

He is very sure that the usual Kaede Sakakibara is not as chic as the five generations in the play. He can take an unplanned adventure as soon as he says it, can stand up for the weak, can speak out, and hopes to protect everyone's smile. words.

Perhaps Wudai-kun is the person Sakakibara Kaede always wanted to be.

He was able to show himself in front of the camera so unscrupulously, showing the hero in his heart in this world where unrealistic weirdos are rampant. . .In the final analysis, it may just be the second disease of the elderly that has not been extinguished.

"I want to become someone like Godai-kun."

The mason mumbled, wondering if he could hear Kaede Sakakibara's murmur clearly.

"Sakakihara-kun feels like a character, a character like Wudai-kun."

Sakakibara Kaede accidentally bit his tongue, and suddenly burst into tears from the pain. He opened his mouth to breathe vigorously, trying to relieve the pain with cold wind.

"Ishida-sensei, I don't understand what you mean."

"..."

What answered him was the sound of slow and long breathing.

Kaede Sakakibara sighed, he lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, perhaps Ishida-sensei just said something unintentionally, but it was deafening to him.

Is it like a character?

Doesn't this mean that so much time has been invested, and there is still a slight sense of distance between myself and the world, as if looking at flowers in a fog, but I can't touch them if I want to touch them.

Sakakihara Kaede knew that maybe he did this in action, but it was his own heart that ultimately made the decision.

Perhaps he regards this world as a board for a game in his heart, and his love for actors may just be an addition to the game characters.

If so, this character is too bad.

Suppressing the self-mockery at the corner of his mouth, Sakakihara Kaede poured beer for himself again and took a sip.

He took the wine glass and got up to leave the banquet. Before leaving, he picked up the clothes that the mason had hung on the quilt and put them on the tired director.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was not sleepy at this time, he came to the lobby. At this time, the video tape shot today was playing on the TV. Most of the people gathered here were actors who wrote bragging. They greeted Sakakihara Kaede one after another.

Perhaps, only the communication between people can make oneself integrate into this world. . .Obviously, the last time I thought about this topic was already a year ago when I just traveled here. I didn’t expect to think about it again after a year. I really don’t know if I am stubborn or nostalgic.

But stubbornness is also good, Sakakihara Kaede still likes the character of plus attack and minus special attack.

With wild thoughts in his mind, Kaede Sakakihara sat down next to Takumi Narita. When the motorcycle racer saw him coming, he raised his glass and collided with him.

It is said that wine is not intoxicating and everyone is intoxicated, Sakakibara Kaede had the idea of ​​pouring bitter water for a moment, but he still stopped the idea of ​​​​vomiting, and started chatting with Narita Carpenter.

The world of adults is extremely pungent, and Takumi Narita is a very good type among many people, but it makes Kaede Sakakibara feel extremely dark when he complains.

Putting on his overcoat, he was blown by the cold wind outside the door. The original slightly drunk was shaken by the cold wind, and he was almost sober.

Family members came in and out of the izakaya, Sakakihara Kaede looked at the women and children who were helping the staff coming out of the izakaya, and smiled at them.

"Ah...it's Big Brother Kamen Rider!"

The innocent voice drew his attention back, he looked down, and saw a fat little boy wrapped up like a rice dumpling staring at his company excitedly, his eyes unblinking, as if there was something Stars twinkle in it.

"Hehe, little brother, who are you?" Sakakibara Kaede breathed out into his hands, squatted down, and made his face level with the little boy, with a smile on his face.

"I am Fujiwara's father's son."

Kaede Sakakihara didn't know the surname Fujiwara, so he thought it was someone who worked on the set.

"Will brother change, can you change now?"

Sakakihara Kaede couldn't help laughing, but couldn't bear to hit the boy's innocence, and said softly: "Only when there is a real danger, I will transform to help others—"

"Guarding other people's smiles."

The same words came from the mouths of the two colleagues, and Kaede Sakakibara touched the little boy's hair when he heard the words.

"There are many people in need of help in this world." He paused, and then said, "There are not many Kamen Riders, so it is impossible to help everyone."

"Then, who is going to help me?"

"Fujiwara-kun yourself." Sakakiwara Kaede pointed to the position of his chest, where it was warm, and there was a steady beating sound, "Sometimes you encounter adversity and it seems impossible to get over it, but you can succeed as long as you grit your teeth."

"Fujiwara-kun still has friends and parents. When Fujiwara-kun helps himself, you might as well seek their help. They are the closest people to Fujiwara-kun."

Fujiwara nodded half understanding, and Kaede Sakakihara tightened the scarf for him.

The next moment, he smiled and ran towards the entrance, "Dad, Mom."

Sakakihara Kaede got up and looked at the door. The little boy fell into the arms of his mother. She hugged her husband with tenderness on her face.

The middle-aged staff member raised his head, coughed a few times, and touched the little boy's face, "Xiao Yuan, didn't you cause any trouble for actor Sakakibara?"

"No, Big Brother Kamen Rider is a hero." The little boy smiled excitedly, "Big Brother is very strong and gentle, I will not cause trouble to him."

The staff couldn't help smiling, "Sorry, Xiao Yuan is naughty——"

"nothing."

Sakakibara Feng smiled and shook his head. Seeing such a family, he felt a little envious in his heart.

He turned his head and stopped looking.

Unexpectedly, the little boy surnamed Fujiwara ran back again. He didn't ask Kaede Sakakihara for an autograph, which was different from other fans.He clenched his fist and said forcefully, "I will also become a Kamen Rider in the future. If Big Brother needs help, I will definitely come to help you!"

Sakakihara Kaede laughed dumbfounded, but didn't say any disappointing words, and gave him a heroic thumbs up.

The little boy couldn't stop grinning, even though his figure was drifting away from his parents, he didn't let go of the thumbs up to Sakakibara Kaede for a long time.

Sakakibara Kaede breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with a kind of encouragement-like warmth. Kamen Rider, the fifth king he played, influenced not just a few people, but generations of people with dreams and longing for warmth.

Even if he was hit by Mr. Truck now and went to another world, he doesn't have any regrets. Of course, he hopes to go to those worlds that gave him cheats from the beginning. He still can't bear the bitterness and hatred of leaving the team and revenge, and he is too tired. up.

The white car lights were getting closer and closer, Sakakihara Kaede looked up, just when he thought the car would leave the road and hit him directly, the private car stopped.

Just when he thought he should die, a familiar person stepped out of the private car.

"Iida-san?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect me to appear here." Manager Iida Gui walked out of the car quickly, although his mouth was still thinking, but his movements were not slow at all, and wrapped a warm scarf around the car. On Sakakibara Kaede's neck.

"Blowing cold wind after drinking, do you want to catch a cold?" Katsura Iida frowned and scolded, "Hey, I know you are relaxed after filming this scene, but you should also pay attention to your body and drink in moderation."

Sakakihara Kaede smiled, "I'm not drunk."

"It's so late, why did Iida-san appear here?" He put away his smile and frowned, "This is Nagano, it takes at least two hours to drive here from Tokyo."

"Where do you sleep tonight?"

"The crew's hotel hasn't been booked yet. I'm staying here for one night and going back to Tokyo tomorrow morning." Kaede Sakakibara wondered, "Isn't Iida-san the manager? You should know everything about the crew here."

Iida Katsura curled his lips, "The filming mission ended this afternoon, I thought you were going back to Tokyo today, and I couldn't reach you on my phone, so I had to ask the crew for the address here."

"Don't talk about that, get in the car first."

With the warm air conditioner blowing, Kaede Sakakibara stretched her limbs and moaned comfortably.

"Where are we going next, back to Tokyo?"

"It's so late today, it's not appropriate to drive on the expressway at night, not to mention the blessing of ice and snow, the car is likely to skid... To sum up, go to the B&B where you are staying, everyone is here, I'm going tonight Soaking in the hot spring." Katsura Iida reflexively wanted to smoke, but he saw Sakakibara Kaede's reddish face in the rearview mirror, and stopped his movements.

Sakakibara Kaede laughed, Iida Katsura's play is not bad, his expenses here tonight can be reported to the office for the money.

But he is still very grateful to his agent who drove all the way across the cold highway to find him at night.

In the end, Sakakibara Kaede still didn’t know if Iida Katsura went to the hot spring last night. He didn’t think so. He walked for ten minutes in the cold wind to soak in the hot spring. On the way back, his hot body was blown into a popsicle by the cold wind. .

After tidying up her luggage, Kaede Sakakibara sat in front of the door and began to review the shooting plan for next year.

Dead people, dead people, this plot makes the New Year completely prosperous, Sakakibara Kaede pursed his lips, and frowned at the sentence written in the script about the tragic death of more than 80 boys in the academy.

It is the real Kamen Rider who keeps his original intention in battle and does not lose himself because of this power.

Even though the armor has changed into many different colors, Sakakibara Kaede still likes the original white armor in his heart, which also symbolizes the original intention of the five generations of kings, the flawless white that is desperate to save others.

Iida Katsura appeared staggeringly, his weak face could easily misunderstand others.

"Hiss—Gongtai (Chen Gong), what did you do last night?"

"Fengxian, yesterday I lost Jingzhou carelessly."

Sakakibara Feng's face darkened, what happened to this rare scholar from Ruying?Oh no, he often heard that Iida Gui claimed to be a Ruying scholar, and almost forgot that Chen Gong was from Ruying with a hammer, he was obviously from Dongjun.

"You won't soak your legs, will you?"

"Hey -- no more to say, this is all my fault, get on the horse, no, get on the car."

Iida Gui obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore. After getting the bill of the hotel accident, he put it in his pocket with a sneer, and got into the car first.

"What's the plan for the new year's first month?"

"How is Iida-san doing?"

"...I'm going to go home." Katsura Iida looked out the window and sighed softly, "This time I have to rent a beautiful woman to go home for the Chinese New Year with an app that simulates couples. The old man is in a hurry."

"Hiss...the price is not cheap."

Chapter 37 Internal friction

Renting a beautiful girl to go home for the New Year, Iida Gui looked at the phone and sighed in pain. Taking advantage of the bright sky, he stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared, and drove in the direction of Tokyo.

"Iida-san, do you have any requests?"

"What else can I ask for? I am educated and reasonable. I was born in a scholarly family. It is best to be considerate and take care of me. Ah, it doesn't matter if you are not a full-time wife. I understand and support the career of the other half."

Kaede Sakakibara flipped through the re-downloaded simulated dating app speechlessly, and when he heard the manager's wishful thinking, he glanced up at the corner of his mouth, "Don't be so demanding, Iida-san, let's not mention whether others will agree to your request and your hometown. Isn’t what you said really a blind date?”

"Oh, it would be great if we could really find such a partner." Gui Iida sighed.

The young man cast his eyes out of the window, he can fully understand Iida Kei, because his past is like this.

Because of the busy work every day, working overtime has become commonplace, but the salary is always so low. Traveling in other places, renting a house and daily expenses are overwhelming.

He couldn't imagine his life after marriage, or didn't dare to think about it.

Taking care of parents and supporting a family requires responsibility and money.

Not to mention the expenses after giving birth to a child, the remedial classes that have been rolled up since childhood, and many actions to prevent their children from losing at the starting line will cost money.

So the idea of ​​most young people is not to fall in love or get married.

The same is true in the current Japanese society. Young people who have graduated from university and have worked hard in their careers for many years have no time to get along with others, so where does love start?

Seven to eight in the morning has become commonplace - after get off work, I still need to accompany the boss to the izakaya, or entertain customers, and there is not much time left.

Iida Gui has already missed the best age for choosing a mate, but it doesn't matter, in the current social and working environment, it is reasonable for him to consider this matter at his age.

"Iida-san, your requirements are too high, but there are still some candidates. I will send the links to your line one by one."

"Thank you very much."

Squinting and opening his eyes, Kaede Sakakibara read the script for a while on the back seat of the car, and took a nap for a while. The road was stable and flat, allowing him to sleep very comfortably.

What did he think of, "Did Ichinose-san tell you about renting a house with Iida-san?"

"Ah——I sent an email to me on Christmas Day." Iida Gui tapped the steering wheel rhythmically with his fingers, and nodded, "I take this matter to heart, and I have already submitted her application , It is expected that the results will be given in late January next year."

"By the way, do you want to move somewhere?"
