I interpret life in Tokyo

Chapter 9 brings you a happy ending

Sakakibara Kaede stared down at the black-haired girl lying on the bed dumbfounded, feeling that the world is so small.

Who would have thought that what he had always thought in his heart as an otaku who stayed at home and played games every day without worrying about food and drink would turn into a sickly girl, and it was actually his step-sister, what a coincidence?

"Sakakibara-kun knows Kapok Ji?"

Konno Emi saw that there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, and asked curiously.

"We met on the Internet before." The young man explained with a smile, "We've known each other for almost a year."

"Hey, did you know each other through playing games?" Konno Lanko was not too surprised, and directly told the way the two met.

Konno Kapok smiled at her older sister.

There is a bit of secret joy and pride hidden in the smile.

Konno Emi saw that the meeting between Sakakihara-kun and her daughter went smoothly, without any negative emotions, she was quietly relieved, she sat on Konno Lanko's wheelchair, "Sakakihara-kun, I will accompany Lanzi to meet you soon Doctor, let me know about the situation after the operation the day before yesterday, can I trouble you to accompany Kapok Ji?"

"Of course."

Sakakibara Kaede moved a chair and sat in front of Konno Kapok Ji's bed, and agreed.

The Konno mother and daughter left the room quickly. Kaede Sakakibara felt that it was necessary to know when they would be discharged from the hospital. After they were discharged from the hospital, they were not sure whether they would live together. Kaede Sakakibara didn't want to trouble them. He could take care of himself now.

When he was in a trance, he noticed the girl on the bed, Nan Jin Wai Qun 517880761 boldly staring at her.

"what happened?"

"Well, I didn't expect Qingfeng to be so young in real life."

"Don't you believe Mitt's nonsense? Besides, don't I always turn on the voice when I play games these days? Which uncle have you seen with such a voice?"

In order to prove his innocence, Sakakibara Kaede slowed down his speaking speed. It was indeed a clear and soft voice, quite like an announcer.

Konno Kapokji laughed, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth to block her cough. The young man hurriedly took the water bottle sideways, but the girl shook her head and rejected it.

"How long has this kind of life lasted, Yuuki?"

"Since I was 12 years old, I have been hospitalized frequently." The black-haired girl named Yuki heard Kaede Sakakibara read her ID, which is also her real name, with a trace of rosiness on her pale face, "Sister too, After an examination in the hospital, it was concluded that it was a congenital poor body, so it was easy to get sick."

"Then, I started to be hospitalized. I went to school until the second year of junior high school, and then I had to be hospitalized, and so did my sister. My mother was always by my side. Although she didn't go to school, she would read to us... In my spare time, I don't need to sleep. I can play games while I hang the needle."

Konno Kapok stretched out her hand to Sakakibara Kaede, her skin was fair, and she always looked thin as if she was undernourished.

"Okay, my self-introduction is over, can brother introduce himself?"

There seems to be a unique charm about her. If you observe carefully, you can find that the sunshine on her face is exactly the same as that of her sister Lanzi, which makes people want to be friends with them involuntarily.

"Introduce yourself?"

"Mmmmm~"

Sakakihara Kaede smiled slightly and began to talk about his story. Compared with the physical and psychological pain that Kapok Ji suffered, his story seemed very monotonous.

Yuuki just listened quietly, occasionally joking and joking when she heard something funny, which made Kaede Sakakibara smile too.

"Hey, is brother an actor?"

"Yeah, it's just that I haven't received any new plays in the past few months, so I don't have the opportunity to shoot."

"I want to see it! Can you tell me the name!"

Being begged to tell me about the TV series I have filmed, I still feel a little shy. Kaede Sakakibara scratched his face, and wrote down the TV series he participated in as the leading role in the small notebook beside him.

Yuuki racked her brains, thinking of any other questions to get a better understanding of her brother.

Different from the unfamiliarity of the step-siblings who just met in the TV series, Konno Kaede feels that he and Sakakibara Kaede have a common language, or that they chat more happily, which is not as exaggerated as described on the Internet.

"By the way, Harukaze, did you and Asuna live together?"

Yuuki stuttered a bit when she asked this question, but she still asked boldly, "Although Asuna was fooled that day, I heard it clearly."

Kaede Sakakibara wanted to make a joke and talk nonsense, but he felt a little guilty for lying in front of his sister. After thinking about it, he still told the truth.

"It's living together..."

"Aha~ so bold!" Yuuki covered her cheeks, and after a while, she opened her fingers slightly, her eyes continued to stare at Kaede Sakakibara through the gaps between her fingers, looking forward to his next words.

"..."

The young man opened his mouth, and stared at Yuuki helplessly.

"But it's not cohabitation, it's a co-tenancy relationship." Kaede Sakakibara re-explained the difference between co-living and co-renting, "In addition to Asuna, Asuna's brother also lives with us, and the three of us share a flat .”

"Hey, that's right, that's great."

There was yearning in Konno Kapok Ji's eyes. Asuna took great care of her when she was playing games. After hearing the other party's voice, she easily put Asuna in her sister's position.

"Well... If you want to see Asuna, I can tell her." Kaede Sakakibara gestured to take out the phone, but was quickly stopped by Yuuki's hand.

"...J."

"why."

Konno Kapokji was lying on the bed, facing out the window, and said sullenly: "I am a trouble now, a burden, and Asuna will never be happy to come to me."

"Brother, please don't tell Asuna."

Sakakibara Kaede sighed softly, and couldn't help but feel a little more pity for the girl in front of him.

After Konno Emi came back, the one who accompanied Kapok Ji became Lanzi, and Sakakihara Kaede followed Konno Emi to the outside of the ward.

"Lanzi and Kapokji still have to live for about a month, and continue to observe their condition." Konno Megumi seemed relieved, she wiped the tiredness from the corners of her eyes, "Where is Sakakihara-kun living now, if you want, you can live in now Our old house."

Sakakihara Feng quickly said a few polite words, he didn't want to cause trouble for his stepmother now, he changed the subject, "But you can give me the key, isn't the house unoccupied for a long time, I can clean it before you go home one time."

"This...how can this work."

Konno Emi sternly rejected Kaede Sakakibara's request. In her eyes, Kaede Sakakihara is still a child and one of the objects that needs her care.

The two were chatting outside the ward, while Lanzi and Mumianji began to read books. They had a plan for each day, with clear arrangements for how much time to spend reading, how much time to rest, and how much time to play games.

After Kaede Sakakibara accompanied them for lunch, the two sisters lay on the bed and began to take a nap, while Emi Konno went out to do errands, Kaede Sakakihara took this opportunity to say goodbye.

This contact was not small. The young man knew what his stepmother's family was like, and also got the contact information of the three. Although it is impossible to live together all the time in the future, it is still possible to communicate frequently.

Just thinking of this distressed pair of sisters made Sakakihara Kaede feel a little burdened.

For a lazy dog ​​like Sakakihara Kaede who can lie down and never get up, it is really rare to come to the office on weekends, but he didn't come to the office by accident. He has a master's task today, ah, no, it's a business high-level tasks.

"Miss Nanakusa, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Sakakibara-kun."

When the manager and the musician met in the office, Kaede Sakakibara saluted, and Nanakusa Hazuki said straight to the point: "The office wants to record a solo of yours and upload it to social media. What do you think?"

"Is it just me?"

"correct."

"A cappella or with guitar accompaniment?"

"Eh...it would be best with guitar accompaniment."

"I understand."

Miss Nanakusa added, "This is also to promote your band's next album... By the way, Mr. Tianjing recommended this video to me."

She opened a webpage, Kaede Sakakibara leaned over to look, and found that a person in a pink sportswear was skillfully strumming the guitar.

"This is?"

"A music video like this, ah, of course you have to show your face properly." Ms. Nanakusa said softly, "This time the office doesn't want to use a professional camera team. The theme they chose is to be close to the people, so Sakakihara-kun can Use your phone to record yourself, and then send it to me and I'll edit it."

"What about the deadline?"

"Well...can you give it to me by next Wednesday?"

Sakakihara Kaede nodded, "I will finish it for you as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much~"

Damn, Kei Iida would never say such a thing.

To be honest, the best place to record is still the rehearsal room of the firm, but this time they want to take the route of being friendly to the people, so it is obviously impossible.He also thought about recording in a coffee shop on the street, such as the Starlight Cafe, but after thinking about it, it would attract a lot of attention, and it might cause a commotion, so let's forget it.

The final location was decided to shoot at home.

Kaede Sakakibara came home with worries, and it was not easy to play and sing at home. Yuuki Asuna next door was studying hard, which would obviously affect her. Although the effect of the sound insulation wall was good, Kaede Sakakibara didn’t think it could completely block the sound of the electric guitar .

Chocolate and Vanilla were rolling on the sofa boredly, and Kaede Sakakibara sat beside them, rubbing their bellies, and took out her mobile phone.

It is said that many friends have many paths, and now is a good time to ask friends.

"Can I borrow your room to shoot a music video this afternoon?"

Send the messages to Sakurajima Mai and Higuchi Madoka respectively, and at the same time as sending to the latter, Sakurajima Mai has already received a reply.

"Sorry! I'm not at home, I'm filming a commercial in Ginza...ah, I'll give the key directly to Sakakibara-senpai next time."

"..."

"What does this ellipsis mean? Do you want to attack at night?"

"No."

"cut."

After chatting with Mai Sakurajima here, Madoka Higuchi replied.

"I'm not at home, but Asakura is at home, so Sakakibara-senpai can just knock on the door."

"where are you?"

The other party was silent for a moment, and seemed to find it strange that Kaede Sakakibara asked this question.

"...recording a personal single in the studio, the finished product will be released tomorrow, do you want to listen?"

"want."

Show read, but no reply.

Sakakibara Kaede used a trick to bury her face in front of Vanilla, and after sucking her full, she went into the room to get her guitar, took the elevator to the first floor and pressed the doorbell of the room shared by Madoka Higuchi and Toru Asakura.

Toru Asakura did the same thing on his rest day as usual, that was sleeping. When Kaede Sakakibara knocked on the door to visit, Toru Asakura was still rubbing his sleepy eyes, and slammed at Kaede Sakakibara in a daze. I yawned.

"Good afternoon, Asakura-san."

"Good afternoon...Zzzz" After greeting Toru Asakura, he lost his balance and put his head on the young man's shoulder, breathing evenly.

Sakakibara Kaede coughed, "If you sleep now, you won't be able to sleep at night."

Asakura hummed twice, she couldn't help stretching, and stood up straight from Sakakibara Kaede, "Ah... Sorry, I was too serious about my homework last night."

The young man's eyes suddenly became suspicious, Asakura Toru, would he stay up all night to review his homework?Isn't she sleepy?

"Really..." Asakura Toru chuckled, she naturally took Sakakibara Kaede's hand and pulled him into the living room, "Higuchi and I reviewed together yesterday."

"Oh, it's not surprising that there is Higuchi-san."

"Well..."

Asakura pursed his lips, as if sulking, it was the first time for the young man to see her like this, it was a bit novel.

The girl's attention quickly turned to the electric guitar, "This...do you want to play it?"

"Well, I'm going to record a video with my phone later."

"Not urgent."

Asakura Toru drew the curtains, and the room gradually became dark. She sat on the sofa, patted the seat beside her, and showed a refreshing smile, "Would you like to watch the rented movie?"

Sakakibara Kaede did not refuse, he put the guitar case in front of the door, turned and entered the kitchen, picked two apples from the fruit basket, and began to peel them.

"This is...?"

"Should I have something to eat while watching a movie?"

"Ah, that makes sense."

Sakakihara Kaede glanced at the title of the movie, and felt that Uehara had boasted that it was about the protagonist’s sour youthful past when he got along with two very good female classmates in his daily life. He said that he used a lot of hints, including The very cool face-slapping and regretful life-long plots that people love to hear and see are considered small manufacturers, but the finished products are surprisingly good.

"What kind of movie does Sakakibara-san like?"

"I really like watching movies with happy endings." The young man raised his head and said while peeling an apple. He looked at Toru Asakura who was kneeling with his chin resting on the back of the sofa, and stared straight into those transparent eyes. "I like the kind of ending where everyone can laugh."
