I interpret life in Tokyo

Perhaps it is a good choice to maintain the current life step by step, change it?It is now in the process of changing.

Having friends by his side brought him an unparalleled sense of security.Burying his gratitude to Mai Sakurajima deep in his heart, Kaede Sakakibara glanced at the still lit Sky Tree outside the window, and slowly closed his eyes.

He will eventually grow up with them and they will move forward hand in hand.

The first weekend of the new semester is coming soon. All the students are lying in bed, enjoying the long-lost laziness. Only the senior three students get up early and start reviewing and doing questions.

Sakakibara Kaede had a late sleep, and found the breakfast left on the table when she came to the living room.He glanced at Yuuki Asuna's room, there was a study hanging outside the door, Sakakihara Kaede could think about it, and didn't bother her.

Yuki Koichiro went to the RECT branch in Kyoto to familiarize himself with the work.

Sakakibara Kaede stretched, took out the phone, and opened the two addresses written in the diary before.

The weather is good today, at the right time and place.

The young man put on his coat, left a note for Yuki Asuna, put on his shoes and left home.

One address is an ordinary residential address and the other address. . .Is it a hospital?

Chapter 8 Swordsman

For this trip, Sakakihara Kaede had made a lot of mental preparations before.

Spray some dark fragrance on the neckline according to Mai Sakurajima's prompt. The style of wearing is not exaggerated and expensive, and it looks approachable and educated.

The first impression left on people is better, even if the negotiation is not settled in the end, and there is no contact with each other, but at least Kaede Sakakibara has tried, and he has a clear conscience.

After buying a bouquet of flowers in a flower shop near home, Sakakibara Kaede took the tram and shuttled among the city buildings.

It's been a long time since he went out on weekends almost aimlessly. Now that he has a high chance of being recognized in public, he has to imitate Mai Sakurajima and wear a mask every time he goes out.

He doesn't dislike enthusiastic fans, but when everyone wants to be quiet, he can't show his well-rounded self anytime and anywhere, and he will be tired after all.

Kaede Sakakibara yawned, and boredly flipped through the Sword Art Online guild group on the line. The guild was established in less than two weeks, and it was thriving. It's a house in the game every day, even if it's breakfast on weekends, some players have already said good morning to each other in the group.

The young man replied a few words, then turned his attention to his home address.

After getting off the tram, Kaede Sakakibara walked out of the station holding flowers, and walked into a small community at the corner according to the map's instructions.

"It looks like it hasn't been lived in for a long time..."

Sakakibara Kaede took a look at the waste and weeds in the small courtyard outside the house, and hesitated for a moment. People in the metropolis are more face-saving, and decorating their own courtyard is the first choice—this is the case of Higuchi’s house. The courtyard of their house is full of flowers With flowers blowing in the wind.

The young man stepped forward and rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while, no one came to answer the door.

"What's the situation, can't it be that he has moved away?" Sakakihara Kaede looked at the address on the phone, and said to himself rather self-deprecatingly.

"Eh—you are?"

Kaede Sakakibara looked away from the phone, and an old man with a cane came out from the house next door. The old man was followed by a girl who looked like a high school student. She spoke to Kaede Sakakibara curiously.

After all, Kaede Sakakibara's current attire is quite good, mask + sunglasses, and holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, it reminds people of the idiot man who follows the girl and wants to confess.

"Hello, I'm here to visit relatives, but I haven't moved around for a few years, so I don't know if they have moved." Sakakibara Kaede didn't say the whole thing.

"Is the Konno family?" The girl heard Sakakibara Kaede's polite words, and her previous doubts subconsciously dissipated. She said softly to the old man, then raised her head and said softly: "The Konno family is in the hospital. , Sister Konno has been hospitalized for a long time, and Mrs. Konno has been with them in the hospital."

Sakakibara Feng was stunned for a moment, watching the girl bow to him, and then helped the old man walk away slowly, holding a bouquet of flowers and staring blankly for a while.

He pursed his lips, looked at the address on the second line, and set foot on the road again holding flowers.

Unlike the happy family that Kaede Sakakibara had imagined, he never expected to be greeted by the news that the sisters from the remarried family had been hospitalized for many years, and their mothers were so busy in the hospital to take care of them that they never even came home. Pass.

This made the young man's heart heavy, and then he felt a little disgusted with the sympathy in his heart. He didn't want to use words like sympathy to describe his feelings. Sympathy is a word that only successful people and high-ranking people can use. It is sympathy that often substitutes for the poor and poor who are below them.

Mrs. Konno stays with her two daughters every step of the way. Although it is only a hearsay version, it is enough to make young people respect her. This kind of maternal love makes people feel warm.

"Senior Sakakibara, how is the situation? How did they react?"

It was Mai Sakurajima who knew about his plans for today, and left a private message with him at this time.

Sakakibara Kaede showed a wry smile, and replied to the other party while stepping on the tram, "I didn't see them at home, and I'm on my way to the hospital now."

"Hospital? Nothing happened, right?"

"I don't know, I only know the situation when I go."

"Okay, if there is anything you can share with me, I am the reliance of Senior Sakakibara."

Sakakibara Kaede read the girl's innocent and proud face from the girl's words, and held back the smile on the corner of her mouth.

This used to be the place where Grandma Ichinose Chizuru was hospitalized, but Sakakibara Kaede was not in a relaxed mood when she revisited the old place.

People dressed like him are not common in the hospital. Wearing a mask and holding flowers, concealing the solemn and even sad expression on the face, muster up the courage to smile and give the bouquet to the patient on the hospital bed, but it is very common. screen.

Sakakihara Kaede knew that Nishikino Maki's mother worked here, but the doctors had their own working hours, and he was not going to disturb Nishikino's aunt's work at this time.

Coming to the inpatient area, Kaede Sakakibara stepped forward, "Hi, I'm here to visit Sister Konno."

"Sister Konno?" The nurse took a rough look at Kaede Sakakibara and asked with a frown, "Are you their relative?"

The young man knows that working here will reduce his patience, and he doesn't care about the attitude of the other party. "I'm the elder brother of a remarried family. Do I need to show my identity?"

"You need to register."

Sakakihara Kaede took the paper from the nurse and began to fill in her personal information, which was also for the safety of the patient.

When filling in the inpatient consultation, Kaede Sakakihara's claws suddenly went numb. How could he know the other person's situation? Now he only knows the other person's last name, but he is at a loss about the name and what disease he has.

"As an elder brother, don't you know what's wrong with my sister?" The nurse gave the young man a look, as if she was trying to help the patient.

Sakakihara Kaede was stuck in the first level, and smiled wryly.

This is a long story to explain. He just wanted to tell the nurse his version of the story, but the woman was already waving, "Mrs. patient information."

"A sick visit?"

The young man turned his head and saw a woman with long black hair carrying a black plastic bag, looking like she was going downstairs to throw out the trash. After quickly disposing of the trash, she walked quickly to the front desk.

Only now did Sakakihara Kaede have the opportunity to look at the other person's face. This is a woman whose first impression is gentleness. The other person's eyes are covered with deep makeup, which seems to cover up the dark circles. His demeanor makes people feel a little haggard, but It can also be said to be peaceful.

"Sir, may I ask who you are?"

Mrs. Konno smiled confusedly. The only person who knew their current situation was her hometown, and those people regarded their family as a burden, and even thought about selling their only house for money.It is impossible for people there to show kindness to visit their daughter, and Mrs. Konno understands this truth.

Could it be that they wanted to rob, so they sent a junior here to express their position and put pressure on it?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Konno's eyebrows gradually became a little firm. That place is her and their home, and she will never compromise.

Seeing Mrs. Konno's complexion changing again and again, Kaede Sakakibara said softly, "My name is Kaede Sakakibara. I wonder if the surname Sakakibara has any impression on you?"

"what!"

"You are... Sakakibara-kun!"

Seeing that the two knew each other, the nurse didn't say much, but looked at Feng Sakakibara more.

Mrs. Konno's face became more rosy, and her expression became more energetic. It seemed that she wanted to make a good impression on Kaede Sakakibara, "Well...my name is Emi Konno. If you don't mind, Sakakibara-kun can call me Aunt Huimei."

The stepmother and stepson are the most difficult to get along with. In countless anime and manga, they have tried their best to describe the stepmother as a villain. She is abusing the stepson and doing too many things. Let the stepson do it early. decision to leave home.

It is difficult to maintain a proper distance.

Even Sakakihara Kaede couldn't grasp this kind of distance, he had never had the experience of getting along with each other like this.

"Hello, Aunt Huimei."

Konno Emi breathed a sigh of relief, she was a little afraid that Sakakibara Kaede would not give her face.

Kaede Sakakibara's visit also surprised her in her heart. Mrs. Konno had no idea what the other party was thinking.

The young man got a certificate from the nurse, and the two walked into the elevator. Emi Konno pressed the elevator button. She was a little embarrassed by the silence, and she didn't know how to speak.

Sakakihara Kaede took off the mask, and put the sunglasses on the collar of his chest, "How did Aunt Huimei meet my father?"

This question is not strange, and there is nothing wrong with asking it. It is also the only way to bring the two closer together, and the only common topic, father.

"Six months ago, I met Mr. Sakakibara at the patient association held..." Konno Emi said softly, "He is always very enthusiastic and tries his best to help the sick patients and their families of the patient association, as long as Mr. Sakakibara can do it I won’t refuse, and it feels like Mr. Sakakibara is repaying something.”

"Mr. Sakakibara often visits different hospitals to learn about the latest status of his illness. Although he is very busy with work, he has also visited Lanzi and Mumenji several times. Ah, it is my daughter."

Sakakibara Feng hummed, he was not surprised by the story of love for a long time, but he didn't know that his father was still active in the patient club.

Repayment, are you apologizing to the mother who is lying alone on the hospital bed?

Accompanied by mother in front of the hospital bed, the medical expenses are gone.If you earn money for medical expenses, you can't stay by your bedside.

Sakakihara Kaede doesn't like the word repayment. In his mind, he always thinks like this, why do you know how to cherish when you lose it?As long as you work hard to fight for it so that you don't lose it, isn't it all right?

The ideal is so beautiful that it can even be used as chicken soup, but there is no choice in the adult world.

He fell into a bit of double self-loathing, feeling that his father wasn't good enough at the time, while understanding his father's decision.

Sakakihara Kaede gave a helpless wry smile. The former is a young man who is still growing up, while the latter is struggling in society. . .man.

"What's wrong with the two sisters?"

The two stood outside the ward, Kaede Sakakibara asked questions, and Mrs. Konno answered whatever she heard. The attitude of the other party was too calm, so that Emi Konno didn't know what Kaede Sakakibara was thinking with a slight smile.

After understanding that it is a non-fatal infectious disease, he only needs to do a few operations and rest for observation. The young man heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was not relatives before, his presence today means that he took the initiative to draw closer to him—even if No, Kaede Sakakibara, who looks at the world with kindness, doesn't want to hear that the two sisters are seriously ill.

At least, there is now hope for recovery.

The door next to her moved smoothly, and a girl in a wheelchair with salt water slid out, "Mom?"

"Lanzi, don't move during the IV drip, it's not good for your health." Emi Konno stood up quickly and stopped the black-haired girl from moving. She held the armrest of the wheelchair, touched the temperature of the girl's forehead with her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief after a while , "Although the high fever has subsided, you still need to rest. Didn't the doctor tell you yesterday?"

"Hee hee, I'm sorry, Mom, it's too boring to lie on the bed and watch the computer." The black-haired girl smiled brightly. At this moment, the room seemed to be full of sunshine. Positive smile, positive energy.

"By the way, mom, who is this?" The girl turned to Sakakibara Kaede suspiciously, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Konno Emi stroked the girl's bony wrist, quietly wiped away the light tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a light smile, "This is Mr. Sakakihara's son, Sakakihara Kaede, he is your future brother."

"Hey, so it's my brother?" The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and introduced herself while sitting, "My name is Konno Lanko. If I'm still in school this year, I should be a senior in high school."

"Can you just call me brother?"

"Hey, please call me that."

The young man was infected by her sunny emotions. In a place like a hospital where life and death are experienced, this ray of sunshine is always so precious.

"Where is the cotton season?"

"Just woke up."

Konno Emi smiled at Kaede Sakakibara, "Lanzi also has a younger sister named Mo Mianji, who is one year younger than Lanzi, and she can't walk on the ground yet."

She pushed the wheelchair into the ward where the two lived. Kaede Sakakibara put the bouquet of flowers in her hand into a vase, adding a bit of spring to the room—behind the curtain, there was a sound of steady breathing.

"Mom...do you have any guests?"

Unlike her elder sister Lanzi, her younger sister Mu Mianji's voice sounded weak and hoarse.

Gently opening the curtain, Emi Konno leaned over cautiously, and put the water bottle in front of Mitsuki's lips.

"feelling better?"

"Well, thank you mom."

Konno Emi stood aside, scratched her little daughter's nose with a smile, and then moved half of her body away, "There is a guest, this is Mr. Sakakihara's son, Sakakihara Kaede, and the elder brother of Kapok Ji Mirai."

"Hi, my name is Sakakihara Kaede, can I just call you Kapok Ji from now on?"

Lying on the bed was a slightly thin girl with fair skin and bright eyes.

Her eyes give people a kind of firmness and tenacity—to use the words of the Sword Art Online online game that is popular recently, maybe this is the eyes of a swordsman.

Hearing this voice, she lost her mind for a while, and after a while, her lips moved slightly, and she asked tentatively, "Qingfeng?"

"Huh? Kapok Ji (Yuki)?"

Happy New Years Eve, fellow readers!
