I interpret life in Tokyo

Tasteless?

When he was on a business trip to Chengdu in the past, his taste buds have been fully trained. Although he has to squat in the toilet every day after eating, it is really delicious if he can't stand the spicy food. It can be said to be painful and happy.

Similar to this paprika, does nothing at all.

"Hmph, young people who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, do you want to challenge the limit?"

Sitting beside Kaede Sakakibara silently staring at the bowl of noodles in front of him, the old man who hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time said coldly.

"This chili powder is not spicy enough."

Sakakibara Kaede sneered, "This spiciness is as gentle as the spring wind, as plain as water, and tasteless."

"Oh?" The old man twitched his eyelashes slightly, raised his mouth disdainfully, and took out a bottle of chili sauce, which was known as the god of death in the Japanese market, from his arms.

"Young man, the front is hell."

"ridiculous."

Sakakihara Kaede took the bottle calmly and poured a little into his own bowl.The old man followed closely behind, stirring the thick sauce slightly with chopsticks, the red color became more vivid, and he chose to eat it.

Yuki Koichiro couldn't help but sneezed when he smelled the pungent spicy smell, he moved his seat and left the battlefield to the two.

Accompanied by a cough, the alarm bell sounded, and the two of them inserted their chopsticks into the noodles at the same time, stirred the batter, cooled it slightly in the air for a while, and then put it into their mouths.

The next moment, the foreheads of the two were sweating at the same time, and the old man's face quickly turned red. He hurriedly took a sip of the yogurt that had been prepared, the details determine success or failure, and he was invincible from the very beginning.

Sakakibara Kaede remained motionless, with an indifferent meanness on the corner of his mouth. After stirring the sauce evenly, he put it into his mouth again.

Color, aroma, and spicy are all available, the mushrooms are tender and smooth, and the cabbage is crisp and delicious.

Red symbolizes fighting spirit, vitality and courage.Like Matisse's arrogant and unruly painting style, red, the harmony of red.

Impressionist painter Reano once said that life is like a cork floating down a small river.

The creek will be rough, it will rush forward, and it will sometimes spurt.

Kaede Sakakibara, who was meditating on the toilet, turned pale and was enlightening on human nature.

"Young man, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes."

An old and powerful voice came from the compartment.

"Although Hanabi's life is short, it bloomed brilliantly and proved itself. I think the same is true for life." Sakakibara Feng said calmly with his hands on his knees and his fingers dragging his chin. Taste is like life, and I just want to experience a life full of struggle."

"... You and Koichiro are sitting together, are you from the Department of Literature?"

"No, Dean Kimura, my name is Kaede Sakakihara, and I'm a third-year high school student. I want to take the entrance examination for the Department of Mathematics and Economics of Toyo University in March next year."

The old man snorted forcefully, and then there was a sense of relief in his voice.

"That's right, Sakakihara-kun, you got my approval. But in this fight, you were the one who lost."

"Yes, I will ask President Kimura for advice in the future. Although I want to say that it was not a crime of war today, I did lose."

"Assignment."

Chapter 14 Acting is like diving

"It's okay, Sakakibara-senpai."

"hiss..."

Kaede Sakakihara twitched his pelvic floor muscles a few times, and took a breath, "Dean Kimura, you are a true warrior."

"Dean Kimura eats this way every week. It's famously said that eating spicy food is good for health. I can't stand ordinary chili powder." Koichiro Yuki was full of emotion. Sakakibara-senpai, you have aroused his competitive spirit."

"Next time I'll buy yogurt too."

The dark blue sky took away the last trace of warmth in the air, and the street lamps glowed orange. Kaede Sakakibara and Koichiro Yuki jumped up and down in front of a vending machine. What?"

"black coffee."

After a while, Yuki Koichiro handed the drink to Sakakihara Kaede, and he took it as a thank you.

The bitter taste dilutes the spicy and numb taste that still remains in the mouth, Sakakibara Kaede let out a long breath, and gradually calmed down.

Yuki Koichiro, who was also sipping black coffee, smiled slightly when he saw this, and asked in a harmonious voice, "How did Sakakibara-senpai achieve today?"

"As expected of Tokyo University." Kaede Sakakibara commented, looking up at the night sky, "Every student seems to have a clear goal, knows how to go in the future, and is confident and easy-going in every move, with a gleam in his eyes .”

To be honest, I am a little envious.

"Haha, that's too exaggerated."

Yuki Koichiro shook his head with a smile, he took out his cell phone, "Sakakibara-san add a line, if you need anything, please contact me."

Kaede Sakakibara hesitated for a moment, unable to hold back the enthusiasm of the senior, operated the line half-bakedly, and registered as friends with Koichiro Yuki.

The two walked out of the campus one after the other, and Yuki Koichiro usually went home on Saturday evenings and spent Sundays at home.His home is in Setagaya District, and he traveled with Sakakibara Kaede for a part of the trip.

In front of the intersection where the car passed through, Koichiro Yuki turned around and extended his hand to Kaede Sakakibara, "Junior Sakakibara, please do your best to unify the college entrance examination and internal assessment, see you in April."

"Thank you Yuki-senpai."

Sakakihara Kaede still has a good impression of this senior who doesn't put on the airs of his predecessors. Not to mention anything else, he helped him sit with Dean Kimura and sit in the cubicle when squatting, so that he learned a lot of information about Tokyo University.

Yuki Koichiro waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared in the crowd of people coming and going.

Sakakibara Kaede exhaled misty moisture, he wrapped his unlined clothes tightly, his figure was shrouded in neon lights, and his shadow was stretched.

In the icy city of Tokyo, in the mouths of outsiders, the warmth of human relationships and the inconsistency of the world are vividly displayed.

"I'm going to buy winter clothes... I can't wear winter school uniforms every day, right?"

Complaining softly, Sakakibara Kaede stepped on the shadow of others and squeezed into the JR line station.

Saturday was quite a fulfilling day. On the next Sunday, Kaede Sakakibara went to work in a nearby restaurant where she often went to work for a whole day, and once again gained three meals plus a boxed lunch.

Playing unfinished chords on the tatami, although tomorrow is a working day, he doesn't have to go to school at all. With the gold medal for avoiding death from Yuichi Sakai, he is confident, and even absenteeism brings a sense of refreshment.

He has already fully understood the scope of the exam and the tricks of the traps. Although the information is a bit spicy and shitty, useful information is good information.

Outside organizations sold these materials at exorbitant prices. As everyone knows, Sakakibara Kaede solved everything with only 400 yen. The 400 yen was not paid by him, but by Senior Yuki.

In a nutshell, it's free.

Turning off the lamp, leaning on the bed and admiring the moonlight outside the window, Sakakibara Kaede calmed down the high spirits in his heart, and closed his eyes reflecting the sea of ​​stars.

. . .

The JR line in the early morning is still crowded, and the dark circles under his eyes are still there. It's not because he couldn't sleep last night.

But for the sake of filming and pursuing the authenticity of the characters in the play, Kaede Sakakibara prepared to act in his true colors.

I bought salmon rice balls at a convenience store and ate the rice with vegetable juice.After wandering around familiar computer stores for a long time, Kaede Sakakihara walked a lot easier. After learning that Dongda University wholesales computers for students, he wanted to live in the program department to shine.

After walking around, Sakakihara Kaede stepped on the dot again and came to the gate of STARS, only to find that almost everyone had arrived.

Everyone held manuscripts in their hands, only Kaede Sakakibara had rice balls and vegetable juice in one hand.

Seeing this, Sakakibara Feng frowned, this group of kings.

"Senior Sakakibara, you... look confident?"

Mai Sakurajima came to him with a serious face, she was holding a thick manuscript tightly in her right hand, she didn't seem to have slept well.

Sakakihara Kaede swallowed the last bite of the rice ball indifferently, "Sakurajima-senpai, Hiroshi Kitahara didn't have many lines in the first place, and he relied on emotional performances during the performance. The audience discovered his habits and personality from Hiroshi Kitahara's every move, not Get a sense of his humanity from his lines."

"However, the script clearly states that you take notes during class, sleep after class, play games and go to the library to study after school."

"Senior Sakurajima doesn't understand." Kaede Sakakibara talked eloquently, "This kind of life is the most difficult to imitate."

"Has Sakurajima-senpai ever had a classmate like this?"

Mai Sakurajima pondered for a while, her indigo eyes blinked uncertainly, "It seems to be there, but I can't remember the name."

"Bingo." Kaede Sakakibara snapped his fingers. He sensed Mai Sakurajima's gaze and continued, "Senior Sakurajima, you have forgotten that such a 'little transparent' exists, so presumably the trajectory and purpose of such characters Sex is also totally ignorant.”

"If you want to play such a role, you must work hard in this area. When an actor plays a role, it is like diving. The deeper you dive, the closer you are to the character. Now I sink into the cold sea water, trying to catch the deep sea. It’s hard to find that kind of immersion in shells.”

Mai Sakurajima nodded thoughtfully. She seemed to be persuaded, and her expression became much more relaxed. After all, she is not the only one who needs to play a relatively difficult role, and it feels more comfortable to have someone on her back.

Deputy director Nakagawa and several managers including Iida waited in the distance for a short while, a bus with the logo of STARS artist agency on the body gradually stopped in front of the door, and the originally transparent windows were covered with sunshades stickers, creating a certain degree of privacy.

The agent talked on the phone for a while, then bowed his head to Assistant Director Zhong Chuan to confirm the number of people.

"Actors, get in the car."

Everyone was giggling and laughing, Kaede Sakakibara and Mai Sakurajima boarded the bus one after the other, and sat in the back seat. She was still chanting her lines in the end, turning over the script from time to time and repeating it again.

Her work attitude blinded Sakakihara Kaede.

The sun was fierce and everything appeared. Kaede Sakakibara didn't have many lines, but he didn't want to make any low-level mistakes on the first day, so he coughed lightly.

"Senior Sakakibara, is your throat uncomfortable?"

"No, Sakurajima-senpai, let's go over our lines."

"Unscripted?"

"Naturally, it's out of the manuscript. If it's not out of the manuscript, it's meaningless." Sakakibara Feng snorted, "Why, maybe you're afraid?"

Mai Sakurajima, who was successfully provoked, smiled slightly and closed the manuscript, "Do you dare to bet? Whoever recites the lines wrong will lose."

"So, what's the stake?"

She gently shook her black crystal-like hair, and after thinking for a moment, she proposed, "For today's dinner, whoever loses will be invited to dinner."

"Oh, ridiculous, do you think you can win me?"

Sakakibara Kaede smiled, "Come on!"

Chapter 15 This is a crime other than war

"Hong Jiang, let's go home together, I have no club activities today."

"No."

"Don't say that, Hong-chan, we are neighbors, how nice it is to go to and from school together~"

"If your friends see it, they will misunderstand."

"But Hong-chan is my childhood sweetheart, I don't care at all, and my classmates won't say much."

"..."

Mai Sakurajima quickly pressed the pause button, crossing her arms with a big cross, "It's not fair."

Sakakibara Kaede's smile is not a smile, his current smile is like a hunter playing with his prey, quietly observing the prey step by step into the trap he has set.

"Why is it unfair?"

"Your lines are too few. Our starting point is completely different. How can we be fair?"

"Hehe, Sakurajima-senpai, you know yourself, you know your enemy, and you will win every battle, so I accept it."

Kaede Sakakibara arched her hands, Mai Sakurajima gritted her silver teeth lightly, her indigo blue eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

This was the first lesson Dean Kimura gave Kaede Sakakibara. From the very beginning, there was no fair competition. Whoever has more chips has a greater chance of winning.

Madoka Higuchi, who was sitting in front of the two of them, heard the senior's unwilling moaning, and Kaede Sakakibara's wicked smile like a villain cadre.

She didn't hesitate for long, and leaned out from the seat, "Senior Mai, you can let Sakakibara-san perform with movements and tone."

"Sakakibara-san has very few lines, but every sentence carries the feelings of Kitahara Hiroshi." Higuchi Madoka's smile when facing Sakurajima Mai, quickly disappeared when he turned to Sakakibara Kaede, "Sakakibara-san is nothing. opinion?"

Kaede Sakakibara glanced at Mai Sakurajima, and seeing that she was moved, she nodded and said, "I never say no to a challenge, let alone a challenge that must be won."

"Come here, Sakurajima-senpai."

"That's what you said."

Mai Sakurajima wrapped her fingers around her black hair, and exchanged a happy look with Madoka Higuchi, then coughed a few times and turned to Kaede Sakakibara again.

"The war has begun."

. . .

At [-]:[-], the bus stopped punctually in front of Tokyo Private Toyosaki Academy, the door of the bus was gradually opened, and the actors belonging to STARS walked out of the bus quickly, and set their sights on the next three months of filming Place.
