I interpret life in Tokyo

In film and television, there are often scenes of characters walking alone in the rain.

Lonely, melancholy, full of blues.Rainwater dripped from the face along the flowing sea, like human tears.

Whether it's the decisiveness before leaving, or the sadness after the conflict, such pictures usually only want to convey a message, that is, the character is alone.

"what--"

Kaede Sakakibara opened her mouth to catch the hot water gushing out of the shower, expelled air from her throat, and began to exhale bubbles.

At this time, his body was warm and his mind was peaceful. When he thought of such a few negative things, he unexpectedly did not have any negative emotions.

In the past, he might have put such a thing on himself, then laughed a little self-deprecatingly, spit out the gray impurities, and then slowly digested it in a corner alone.

I did change myself.

The young man wiped his body and put on the clean clothes when he came here. He could smell the refreshing smell on the clothes. This was the discounted laundry detergent he bought in the supermarket with Mai Sakurajima after he improved his life. He used Now.

Sakakibara Kaede realized that he had gradually and slowly integrated into this world, and the surrounding plants and trees gradually became clear before his eyes, and people and things were so vivid and full.

Is this a good thing?

Dressed neatly, Kaede Sakakibara held an umbrella and said goodbye to the staff before leaving the studio.

Today is not a weekend, which means that he skipped the course that caused Kimura to teach the Dahan Emperor. Although he asked for leave in advance, he still felt a little guilty.

Nothing to do in the afternoon, why not go back to Tokyo University for self-study for a while.

After making up his mind, Sakakibara Kaede walked towards the nearest tram stop.

The phone rang when he swiped his transportation card. The young man took out his phone while putting away his wallet, and glanced at the names in the address book.

"Iida-san?"

Without hesitating for long, he pressed the answer button.

"I haven't heard from you for a long time, Iida-san, what's the matter?"

Iidagui was taken aback for a moment, boy, why don't you just put it here and play the Great Teleportation, "What are you talking about, it's clear that you betrayed my Chen Gong, and you are inseparable from those in the music area."

"Isn't this the last time I just finished filming Kamen Rider? I want to take a little vacation for myself and enjoy school life."

Sakakibara Kaede didn't wear a mask today. When he said the word Kamen Rider, he attracted two high school students who were discussing the Tokusei drama enthusiastically. It seemed to them that they were busy chatting with their mouths wide open.

Aware of the gaze, the young man turned his face and smiled at the two boys who came home from high school after school. He put his finger in front of his mouth and made a silent gesture.

The two stood there in a daze, and only recovered after Kaede Sakakibara walked into the tram and the door was closed.

They quickly took out their mobile phones, pointed at the young man who turned his face inside the tram, and double-clicked the shutter, and then filtered and tweeted in one go.

"Sorry, just got on the train, Iida-san...do you have any work?"

"There is an audition... But considering that you are going to hold a concert in July, to be honest, the schedule is a bit tight." Iida Gui coughed a few times, "This is a resource that our office has managed to obtain with great difficulty. , as the leading actor in the firm, I think I need to inform you."

"It's true that I haven't considered filming recently because of this reason. But then I do have time, ah, a week later I will go to Yokohama to step on the spot, and then I will start preparing for the concert in Tokyo. It's gone."

"This time it's not the leading role in a TV series."

Iida Gui said mysteriously.

"Is it the lead actor in the movie?"

"wrong!"

"Stop teasing me, send them all, buddy."

Iida Gui laughed triumphantly, the hands of the rookie actress passing outside his office trembled, the cup in his hand shook suddenly, the water was shaken out, and the black silk on his legs was wet.

"This time is an audition for a voice actor."

"Iida Kei... have you fallen into madness after all?" Sakakibara Kaede twisted his temples with some headaches, "Sei actor and actor are two completely different jobs. I know how hard work and practice it takes to become a voice actor, because I have a A seiyuu friend."

"If you want to say that I am the lead singer who shines in the world... Singing and voice actor interpretation are not the same concept. Those who can sing may not be able to become voice actors, and voice actors may not necessarily be able to sing. These are two different things. Even if I call myself I have two thousand skills, but I really haven't experienced systematic learning."

"Very good, I really like your serious attitude towards work." Iida Yu strongly praised, "With such self-awareness, you should be very suitable for me to introduce you to the audition."

"Have you heard of Xin Haicheng?"

"I know, he is a popular and respected animation writer and film director, what's wrong with this teacher?"

"Do you know who are the voice actors of the characters in the movie directed by Makoto Shinkai?"

Sakakibara Kaede seemed to know what Kei Iida wanted to say, or in other words, he understood what the other party said about the audition.

Stepping off the tram, Kaede Sakakibara changed the phone, "That is to say, Mr. Makoto Shinkai wants to audition for the voice actor of the character, but the scope of the audition is not the voice actor, but the actor?"

"Yes, according to Makoto Shinkai's words, this sounds more real. What do you think, the audition is on this Friday, and the recording will start in June, which will last longer, during which you will leave for four days to hold a concert in Yokohama Just take a vacation."

"How about it, are you interested?"

"I'm interested, but I don't think the chances of being selected are high."

Kaede Sakakibara said frankly that although he and Aoyama Nanami are friends and have helped each other practice dialogue with scripts, he is a layman when it comes to voice actors.Although Iida Kei patted his chest to ensure that Makoto Shinkai likes to use actors as voice actors in his works, Kaede Sakakibara still doesn't have much hope,

"Try it and you won't lose a piece of meat. By the way, I will send you the address of the audition."

"Okay, thank you...By the way, did you inform Ichinose-san of this audition opportunity?"

"After making your phone call, I'm going to notify you. Brother Sakakibara, I'm very pleased that you can think about the younger generation in this way."

The young man hung up the phone after saying goodbye to his manager. Chizuru Ichinose had participated in supporting roles in many TV dramas in the last schedule. She has indeed absorbed a lot of experience in filming, but she has never been a leading role. The second female lead and the third female lead The number is also missed.

This kind of thing still pays attention to an opportunity, or fate, like submitting a resume to hundreds of companies in the market, maybe one of the companies is lucky enough to choose you?

Sakakihara Kaede undoubtedly wanted to provide his juniors with an opportunity.

Even if there is no class, the young man still visited Professor Kimura once, and got this week's new project and thesis assignment from him.

The things he comes into contact with now are gradually separated from the fundamentals of numbers and are full of various academic aspects. Professor Kimura has written for him, and there are several more books that need to be read than others. This is undoubtedly the best way to start small. Way.

Based on Dean Kimura's vision for his future, after graduating three years later, Kaede Sakakibara continued to stay in school to start a master's degree, and then started as his teaching assistant, climbing to the top of the economics department step by step.

Sakakibara Feng noticed that the emperor of the great man obviously raised him as a real son, and was moved in his heart. In the future, he will be under one person and above ten thousand people.

Go back to the main entrance and turn to the right is the library of the University of Tokyo.

The library of Dongda University is open to the public all year round, even passers-by can enter the library to study after applying.

Kaede Sakakihara swiped his student card at the entrance and walked into the library.

The room was very quiet. Kaede Sakakibara walked towards the interior of the library, and when he reached the depths of the bookshelves, the young man felt that someone was pulling his sleeves. When he looked sideways, he found Mai Sakurajima sitting on a chair beside him with his hand outstretched. , in front of her were dazzling articles and summaries.

After a brief eye contact, Mai Sakurajima won. She patted the seat next to her and made an inviting gesture to Kaede Sakakibara.

Kaede Sakakibara took his seat, he took out the laptop he was carrying in his bag, and acted gracefully.

"It always feels... like going back to the time when we just met."

Mai Sakurajima passed a piece of paper with beautiful handwriting written in fountain pen.

Sakakibara Kaede was stunned for a moment, he turned his face to the side, and suddenly, the person beside him who was looking at him with gentle eyes, dressed in mature and delicate Sakurajima Mai, and the girl Sakurajima Mai who sat next to him in the past, wearing Sobu High School uniform slightly coincide.

The only thing that remains the same is Mai Sakurajima's eyes.

Sakakibara Kaede felt that someone was poking his hand, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Mai Sakurajima was dancing on the back of his hand rhythmically with his fingers.

He smiled slightly and began to write on the paper, "Yeah, at that time I was still studying hard and wanted to be admitted to Tokyo University."

The young man remembered that in the classroom in the past, the students also passed notes to communicate with each other in this way, which was unforgettable.

"Back then, Sakakibara-senpai was really dazzling."

"It's embarrassing to be praised so much by Sakurajima-senpai."

"The current Sakakibara-senpai is also shining brightly. By the way, I worked hard today. Let's go to shoot the MV in the morning. The weather is bad, how was the shooting?"

After Sakakibara Kaede wrote the answer, he passed the note to Mai Sakurajima again, and a pen was exchanged between the two of them. For a moment, both of them forgot the purpose of coming to the library, but happily wrote on the paper. Communicate online.

Mai Sakurajima took the pen from Kaede Sakakibara, and she felt the warmth from the pen—the palm temperature of boys is higher than that of girls. For some reason, such a sentence floated in her mind.

"stare--"

Sensing their gaze, the two turned their heads at the same time.

Madoka Higuchi and Toru Asakura stood aside with their shoulder bags on their backs. The latter took out a lollipop from his mouth and wanted to whistle, but in the end he could only blow a whistling wind from his mouth.

They sat down opposite the two of them, silent without saying a word, but the activities of their eyes were relatively rich.

Madoka Higuchi started to take out the homework as if nothing had happened, while Toru Asakura's eyes lingered on the faces of the two people opposite, showing a calm smile.

"Good afternoon, Enka-chan, Asakura-san."

Mai Sakurajima handed the paper to the eyes of the two girls, Madoka Higuchi pursed her lips, she inadvertently saw the conversation between Kaede Sakakibara and Mai Sakurajima above, um, just inadvertently.

She turned her eyes sideways, and she felt Toru Asakura's gaze. Did Asakura see that she paid so much attention to the chat records of the two of them just now?

Madoka Higuchi raised her head and saw that Kaede Sakakibara had raised her spirits to look at the screen. She breathed a sigh of relief, wrote down the words of greeting on the paper, and then passed the paper to Asakura Toru, who even started to draw a matchstick. people.

Madoka Higuchi raised her feet, and she sat opposite the young man. She could feel the touch of Kaede Sakakibara's pants from her raised legs, and she could even faintly feel the body temperature from the other party.

She adjusted to a more comfortable angle and kept her legs crossed.

Chapter 15 Now I Have a Home to Return to

"You were walking with her on the playground, and she suddenly stopped and looked at you with clear eyes."

"The tip of her hair was noisy with the quiet evening wind, and the stars behind her flowed into her eyes, dancing with my heart. The moon behind her lightly spread the light on his face, and her reddish face became It was so quiet that time seemed to stop."

"The clouds soaked in the starlight behind me are circulating, and the mischievous starlight still stirs my uneasy first choice, and I can still hear the heartbeat and trembling breathing from the fingertips."

"I didn't say a word, and I don't need to say a word. After all, if the heart is conveyed, there is no need to whitewash it with gorgeous and short-lived love words like soap bubbles. Everything tonight is too dreamy, is it an unrealistic dream? ?”

"Hide this cloud, this star, this month, and her tonight in my heart until the end of time, and engrave this scene in the deepest part of my heart like a work of art."

The young man closed the book, twisted his temples, and dispelled the fatigue caused by sitting for a long time.He glanced at the unfinished characters on the laptop and felt a little hungry.

It is so difficult to overcome the dissertation. After writing a point of view, he has no inspiration for a while, so he has to find novels to relax his brain.

The book I hold in my hand is recently popular among young people, and it is called a collection of essays on love enlightenment.

Mai Sakurajima recommended this book to herself before leaving to work in the office. She read it for a while while relaxing, but she didn't expect it to be so fascinating, and she was completely addicted to it.

There were very few students or passers-by studying in the library. Matoka Higuchi and Toru Asakura who sat across from each other left their notes and then left at some point. Maybe it was when he was concentrating on writing his thesis, or he was in the When reading novels.

He immediately thought that the two of them had to go back to their home in Wenjing District to visit their parents today, so it was inevitable that they left early.

After closing the computer screen, Kaede Sakakibara breathed a sigh of relief, and began to sort out the materials and notes of his counterpart on the table. After putting them into the bag in an orderly manner, he picked up the collection of love essays that he had finished reading, and searched for them according to the label on the back of the book. Put it back on the bookshelf.

Fortunately, the weather is about to enter summer. At six or seven o’clock, the sky is still a little pink and light blue. If it is winter, Sakakibara Kaede still doesn’t want to go through the cold and dark way home.

Fortunately, it was a sunny day outside, Kaede Sakakibara picked up his bag, clocked out in front of the door to get off work, and left the library.

Going back so late, Yuki Xuemei didn't know if she had prepared meals. . .No, this idea is very problematic.

Sakakibara Kaede frowned at his own thoughts, Yuki-senpai is Yuki-senpai's younger sister, how embarrassing it is for him to let the other party cook for him every day, this debt of favor is the most difficult to repay.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the convenience store by the side of the road. Amidst the welcome voice of the clerk, he was picking out today's dinner in front of the shelves.

Started with a tonkatsu bento, followed by quirky steamed buns in a warmer, and a bottle of milk drink, it was quite a meal.

After being warmed by the clerk Sang, Kaede Sakakibara sat on a seat similar to a bar counter and opened his chopsticks facing out of the window. On both sides of him were students of similar ages. It seemed that it was not the first time they had settled for dinner here.

At this point in time, senior high school students leaving the private school can be seen everywhere on the road. Such a daily scene made Kaede Sakakibara speed up his chopsticks movements, and it didn't take long for a bento to be wiped out by him.

He wiped his mouth, glanced at his phone, and embarked on the long way home.

Today, Koichiro Yuki returned home after a long absence. When Kaede Sakakihara came home, he was making a video call in the living room. Kaede Sakakibara glanced slightly and found that the opposite of the video was Shozo Yuki. Except for Koichiro Yuki's father, There are also a few middle-aged people in suits. They are discussing things that Kaede Sakakibara has touched in class, such as trivial matters such as expanding the market.

"what."

Asuna Yuuki was peeling oranges for herself in the kitchen, when she saw Kaede Sakakibara coming home, she stepped forward gently, and whispered, "Welcome home, Sakakibara-senpai."

She reached out her hand naturally, and took the backpack that Kaede Sakakibara had taken off, "Senior Sakakibara came back later than usual today."

"I'm sorry, I forgot the time when I was studying and reading in the library today. It was past six o'clock when I left the university."

"Senior Sakakibara, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to blame you."

Yuuki Asuna smiled, "You must be hungry. I specially reserved some dishes for Mr. Sakakibara, and they are still hot."

"what..."

Sakakihara Kaede just ate all the thick bento + meat buns at home, and now he can be said to be satisfied, in a state of fullness and lust. He is going to take a shower early in a while, and then push the plot of the galgame again.

But seeing Yuuki Asuna's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
