Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 198 How Many Bedrooms Are There?
Goro Hatagoro's grandmother is a resident of Itomori Town, and has a contact book in her hand, which contains the telephone numbers and new addresses of all residents, including Yukino Baixiangli.

In the end, the address was only to Ehime Prefecture in Shikoku, and what was left was a landline number.Hojo Kyosuke called, and there was Yukino's mother.As soon as he said that he was Xue Ye's friend, before he had time to inquire about the latter's current whereabouts, Xue Ye's mother asked him first.

It is said that since Yukino went to Itomoricho, apart from sending some money back every month, he would only make a phone call to report his safety during the Chinese New Year.

Before Hojo Kyosuke had time to ask further questions, he heard a man on the phone swearing fiercely.Xue Ye's mother quickly said sorry twice, telling him to tell her if he knew about Xue Ye's recent situation, and then hung up the phone hastily.

Yukino, Yukino, where have you been?

Sitting in the apartment, he felt a severe headache, and the soft girl ran away again.He once heard Yukino say that no matter when she was studying in her hometown, her classmates would say all kinds of bad things, or after returning to her hometown to teach, and the rumors of Tokyo spread back, her father would never comfort her and support her. A word "don't trouble others".

In that family, only the mother can get some comfort, but the mother caught in the middle can't do more.

At this time, you should actually let the almighty men look for it, or directly hire private detectives and the like.However, with Xue Ye's personality, if he was found like this, he would definitely run away immediately.

That woman, she became a chef because of her, but she didn't rush to enjoy it.

Kyosuke Hojo was really angry and distressed. How did he spend the three years alone in Tokyo after leaving Yukino, who had no taste for food?

And where is Xue Ye who was missed by someone?

When the townspeople of Itomori were relocated to Nara, Yukino bid farewell to Miyamizu Yotsuba and others, and boarded the train to Tokyo alone.

Although she wanted to see Hojo-kun for the first time, she still came to Ginza. With the help of the clerk, she bought the most popular clothes at the moment. address.

Single Apartment 49, 701 Sendagi, Bunkyo-ku.

After knocking on the door and finding no one there, she came to a coffee shop downstairs where she could see the door of the apartment and waited.

Finally, after drinking a stomach full of coffee, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night.Although she had only seen it a few times in hazy illusions, she recognized it immediately.

With that level of handsomeness, once you see it, you will never forget it.And that gentle smile, even with a different face, still cheered her up.

However, why is Hojo-kun so young?
The black suit-style school uniform may not be immediately recognizable to ordinary people.But no matter it was his experience as a JK or his eyesight, Yukino instantly recognized a fact.

Originally, she was mentally prepared before coming here.

Walking to the school gate, Yukino politely asked the student in charge of discipline at the gate if he knew Hojo Kyosuke.The reason why she asked directly like this was because she knew that an outstanding person like Hojo-kun would definitely be the focus no matter where he was.

The result of the inquiry made her even more desperate. Just as she thought, Hojo-kun was not only the focus, but also the minister of the two in front of her.After hearing that they were his friends, the two immediately said what they wanted to know.

After thanking him, Xue Ye walked to a nearby family restaurant.Occasionally, a nearby female student would pass by the store entrance, looking at the gently floating pleated skirt as she walked, and the crisp laughter.She raised her hand and stroked her face gently.

There was a faint reflection on the glass window, the fair and delicate face was full of tenderness, the big dark eyes seemed to be full of innocence, and the thin lips were pink and tender.

How old do I look like?If you say you are under 25 years old, can you deceive yourself?
Sighing, Yukino supported his chin with his left hand, and stirred the coffee in the cup with his right hand boredly with a straw.

I also thought that after I came to Tokyo, I could live with Hojo-kun, cook for him every day, help him with laundry, ironing, tidy up his clothes when going out, and go for a walk in a nearby park after get off work together...

Xue Ye, are you going to run away again?Where are you going this time?Kyushu?Or simply go abroad?
Taking a sip of the coffee, the smell of caramel and the mellow aroma of milk mixed together, making her squint her eyes involuntarily, and her gloomy mood improved.

Don't run away this time, or rather don't run away that far, just stay in Tokyo and give yourself a chance.If, if we could meet...

Walking out of the restaurant, the sun at nine o'clock in the morning shone on the cherry blossom trees beside the road, and a gust of wind blew past, pink petals kept falling, and in the rain that only belonged to spring, Yukino turned around wantonly.The white long skirt floated up slightly, revealing delicate ankles and a fair calf.

After making up his mind, Xue Ye instantly felt that the sun became warmer.

Hojo Kyosuke has made a lot of progress. First of all, the release date of "The Devotion of Suspect X" has been confirmed, and the first printing is 50 copies.

There are three main formats of Nihong's books, stand-alone editions, new book editions, and library editions.The booklet is 32K in size and comes in hard cover and soft cover. The price is around 2000 yen and 1500 yen.

The new books will be smaller and cheaper, and the library will be reduced again and the price will be reduced.A novel is published as a single volume or a new book at the beginning, and if the results are good, it will be changed to a library and republished in three years later. This is the library.

According to the contract between Hojo Kyosuke and the publishing house, he can get 5000 million yen in royalties from the first printing, which is still after-tax income.

After the printing contract was signed, plus the proceeds from the sales of booklets and peripheral products in the past two semesters, the balance of his bank card account has reached more than 4 million yen.And according to the publishing house, this number will increase again soon.

"According to me, one million copies should be printed directly. Such a good book should be read by all Neon people."

At the banquet, the person in charge of the publishing house blushed and shouted loudly while holding a wine glass, and Shimomura Tetsu who was next to him also toasted frequently.Looking at the posture of the two of them, I can't wait for everyone in the world to have a copy of Hojo Kyosuke's manga and novels this year.

If there are 100 million copies, wouldn't one of the 120 neon people buy his book?Just thinking of this made Hojo Kyosuke shudder.Although it was aimed at improving social status at the beginning, when I think about it, the sales volume will even reach 100 million, 150 million, and 200 million.

Anyone who meets anyone has probably cried late at night because of his novels, and he feels a stomach ache.

In the future, I should copy more healing works, but in fact, "The Devotion of Suspect X" is also very healing, right?After reading this book, those young people who want to commit suicide will also look forward to meeting their "Miss Yasuko", right?Those who want to be homeless will think more about it, right?
No wonder the status of the writers in the neon society is very high, and this can be regarded as serving the transformation of society and making social contributions.

Thinking of this, Hojo Kyosuke came to the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen High" again a few days later.This time, we are discussing the animation of "Attack on Titan".Because I agreed to the magazine to keep the animation copyright in my own hands, the negotiation was still carried out through the magazine.

"No, no, how can such an important role as Mikasa Ackerman be handed over to a rookie who has no voice acting experience at all." When it comes to this kind of thing, Tatsutoku Hiraoshi, the executive director of BOX animation company who was still respectful just now, shook his head repeatedly .

What's going on, the company didn't say that this Hojo Kyosuke is a rare talent, and in order to show that he valued it, he specially asked himself as an executive to come to discuss.But now, listen to what this is saying.

"Even for you, Mr. Hojo, such a request is too embarrassing."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tetsuya Shimomura, editor-in-chief of "Weekly Shonen High" next to him.When this kind of writer is not clear-headed, you should come out and speak out.

"Hehehe, drink tea, drink tea." Shimomura Tetsu also smiled and added tea for the two of them: "This is the tea given to me by the president, and I am usually reluctant to take it out."

"I know that such a request is a bit unreasonable, but this is the only request I have for this animation." Hojo Kyosuke smiled and pointed to the other party with a cup of tea.

Tatsutoku Hirao frowned, this is just a little unreasonable, there is no masterpiece, no training, a complete rookie, to be the main character of such a big production as "Attack on Titan".Really, does this kid know how serious it is to make animation, and how much manpower, material and financial resources it takes?

"Oh, it's time for dinner, Hirashi-san, Hojo-san, I've already reserved a private room at the kiosk, let's go and have a drink together. Of course, Hojo-san can only drink drinks." Tetsuya Shimomura smiled As he spoke, he seemed completely unaware of the tense atmosphere on the field.

"The company is still waiting for me to go back and report, so let's save the meal for next time." Tatsutoku Hirao stood up, smiled and shook hands with the two to say goodbye.

"Looking forward to our cooperation, Hojo-sensei."

"Ah."

After Hirata Tatsutoku left, Shimomura Tetsuya returned from the elevator, took out a towel and wiped his oily forehead.In just two years, I don't know if it's because he received such a phenomenal writer as Hojo Kyosuke, but he gained weight after gaining weight in middle age.As expected of a person who can become the editor-in-chief, just from this point of view, it is not easy.

"Hojo-sensei, BOX is even willing to let you join the production committee with funds this time. What are you dissatisfied with?" Tetsuya Shimomura said with a wry smile.

"I've made my request very clear. I want a friend of mine to be Mikasa Ackerman's voice actor." Hojo Kyosuke sat on the sofa in a leisurely manner.

"Huh? Isn't that an excuse for you to raise the price?"

"No, at first I wanted to keep the animation copyright of "Attack on Titan" in my hand, that's why."

"That's the way it is, but with all due respect, I'm afraid no one will agree to such a request, except for those animation companies that have problems running their business." Although the animation copyright has nothing to do with the company, it gave the two a good personal relationship , Shimomura Tetsuya still said seriously.

"Thank you for your concern, but it doesn't matter, at worst, I will start my own animation production company." Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile.

Is this the courage of Hojo-san?Listening to the extremely relaxed tone, as if starting an animation production company is not much more difficult than baking small biscuits, thinking of the news that Hojo-san is an almighty superman from the industry during the animation production of "One Punch Man", Shimomura Tetsu also admired in his heart.

A talented person will make people envious, but if someone like Hojo Kyosuke not only has extraordinary talent, but also is willing to make efforts that ordinary people can't match, it will only make people admire from the bottom of their hearts.

"Is this planned from the beginning? That's why Mr. Hojo worked so hard to learn the knowledge of animation production."

"It doesn't count, does it? If they can satisfy my request properly, then I'm not willing to do this kind of trouble myself."

Being a dedicated entrepreneur and company president has never been in Hojo Kyosuke's future plans.In the future, professional managers will definitely be invited in the company's operations, and he only needs to give instructions.Well, in this regard, we should urge Misaki to work harder and be a qualified little brother.

The reason why he didn't bring Shisaki with him today was because he knew from the very beginning that the other party would not be able to agree to his request.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has not been officially launched yet, and the publisher has already started warming up.As I said before, they hired a well-known director to cooperate with the hype.

"BIG BANG! Unheard of, pre-ordered movie production!"

Is it unheard of? I don’t know, the director himself highly praised Hojo Kyosuke’s new work in an interview:

"Before this, I never knew that a person's love can be so shocking. I only hope that I can show the essence of one percent of the world depicted by Hojo-san."

This is his sincere words, although it is just a gimmick for money, but if possible, he really wants to be the film director of this novel.It's a pity that the other party only found me because of his fame and the right price, and he didn't think about the film adaptation at all.

"One stroke enters the soul, hits the sky directly, the heavy love that surpasses the raging waves!"

"Hojo Kyosuke is a master of reasoning once in a century, and the most important reasoning master since Seicho Matsumoto."

"The Edogawa Ranpo Award is scheduled!"

……

Hojo Kyosuke finally saw the difference between the literary world and the manga world. This is because he is not afraid that he will not be able to bear it. As long as he can’t blow it to death, he will blow it to death. Before it was released, he started to book the Edogawa Ranpo Award. I’m afraid it won’t be for future awards. Comments are all copied from these news.

Originally, he was thinking about whether to release "Sword Art Online" at once, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the unscrupulous people in the magazine would use "Suspect X's Devotion" to start another round of praise.

With the name Hojo Kyosuke, it’s better to be a pure reasoning novelist.Of course, he still promoted his new book on his EGOIST personal website.He would not refuse this labor-saving and easy-to-use method.

If there is praise, there will be derogation. If newcomers and new works dare to show such a posture, the neon that is prevalent in the culture of the predecessors will be besieged.

The masters in the mystery fiction world were reserved and did not express their views. Whether some low-level writers wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous or really could not understand Hojo Kyosuke, they always started to criticize in various newspapers and magazines.

In any case, the huge sales of Hojo Kyosuke's new work "The Devotion of Suspect X" is already a clearly visible future.He also really understood why Neon's status as a traditional literary writer is so detached, and why there are so many lovers who are not condemned by the public.

This is due to the special social and cultural reasons of Neon, and the social influence of famous writers.Just like now, just a book that hasn't been released can cause such a big social sensation.If all the rainbow farts in the newspapers come true, the scene is unimaginable.

You must know that the money he currently earns from "One Punch Man" and "Attack on Titan" is many times higher than the income of those third-rate novelists who scolded him in the newspapers, but in terms of influence, it is far away. less than.

Afterwards, just as the publisher expected, 50 copies were sold out before the end of the second semester.Those third-rate novelists who were cursing before changed their faces one after another and started to praise them.

When it was reprinted, the publishing house used its connections to find a large number of famous writers and invited them to write slogans, which were printed on the waist of the book.

The largest boldface word in it reads "Extreme trickery!"

As a mystery novel, this kind of evaluation is not low, and the person who gave the comment is Yuya Numata, who has won the Edogawa Ranpo Award three times, and the neon 21st century mystery novel world Taishan Hokuto.

The impact of the novel’s big sales on Hojo Kyosuke, apart from the frequent encounters of girls who knew him coming to sign while walking on the streets of Bunkyo District, is that his progress in buying a house has been greatly advanced.

It is said that there is a money society, but in some aspects, just being rich is not enough.In a neon high-end residential area, apart from supporting facilities, the most important thing is to have a cultural background.This cultural heritage, simply put, is what celebrities lived in this place.

It would be even better if he happened to die here, that is, "the land of the end", and the value of the surrounding land would double immediately.This kind of house will not become a dead man's house that cannot be sold, but whether it will be a memorial hall will be decided according to the degree of fame.

In a sense, this phenomenon can also be explained by the phrase, "Zaw の 素を炒じて饮む (decoct nail scale into medicine and drink it)".Maybe I feel that living in this kind of place can absorb the spiritual energy overflowing from those outstanding people.

Kyosuke Hojo, who is now considered a famous writer, can be regarded as a walking land value-added package, which is very popular with the owner committee of Neon.According to Tetsuta Sakisaki, many materials (houses) that were not even willing to show him the information before are now open, and there are many more choices at once.

During the spring break, Hojo Kyosuke went home as usual, and went to the shrine with his family in the ice and snow to perform the first ceremony.

After returning to Tokyo, the remaining few days of vacation began with the final decision on the house.It's been less than half a year, and it's just enough time to renovate after buying a house.

On the first day, he was accompanied by Tetsuta Sakisaki, which was something he had been thinking about for almost three years.

"Shisaki, isn't this courtyard too small?" Hojo Kyosuke said.

The two are now near Komagome Station in Toshima District, and the house in front of them is a two-story Japanese-style building.

"It's still small!?" Tetsuta Kisaki asked incredulously, pointing to the Japanese-style garden which was at least [-] square meters.

"Well, fish cannot be raised without a stream, and only one cherry blossom tree can be planted. If there are any more, it will be very crowded. No matter how you look at it, it is very small." Kitajo Kyosuke looked around and counted one by one.

"I think you don't want a garden, but you want to build a house in the forest!" Xi Saki said angrily.

"Hahaha."

"I really believe in your evil. Of course, you have to go to Kyoto to buy a Japanese-style mansion. You should buy a high-end apartment in Tokyo."

"Hurry up and go to the next place."

In the neon anime, it seems that the protagonist who can't even afford to eat lives in a small villa. This is actually an illusion.In addition to the fact that the property rights of the neon are permanent, it is also because it is not a villa at all, but a one-family building.

A villa is built by one family, but not all houses are built by one family.The most obvious feature of Japanese-style single-family buildings is that they are small and cramped.The ceiling is very low, the room is small, and the stairs are only as wide as one person.The most important thing is that the house occupies a small area, generally only about [-] square meters.

But there are also advantages. One is the privatization of the land. After the construction is completed, you can always own it, waiting for a tyrannical real estate agent to spend money to let you move out.

The villa is like the one in front of Kyosuke Hojo, with a land area (land area) of over [-] square meters and a building area (the area covered by the building) of [-] square meters.The gate with a high wall, standing outside, you can see nothing but the maple tree beyond the courtyard wall.

This is the villa that conforms to the common sense of Neon people, of course, it is a luxurious villa.

At this moment, the two have arrived at the intersection of Bunkyo District and Toshima District, Meshirodai area.This is a neon high-end residential area, because many celebrities have lived nearby, such as Hiroshi Kikuchi and Sora Kubota.And they are all "final lands", proper geomantic treasure lands.

Of course, as a person with unmatched talent, Hojo Kyosuke doesn't value those dead people, nor does he value the neon woman who can be clearly seen standing on the third floor of the house to the left, and the straight line distance is less than 400 meters The university, not to mention the dormitory for Otowa, which is located 430 meters on the right, is the Gakuen Gakuen Women's University.

"The area of ​​the courtyard is compared to the area of ​​the building, both are [-] square meters. How about it, this house finally meets your requirements?"

Shisaki Tetsuta is a little proud, this is the house he found after the big brother's novel was released.The original owner was a Chinese from Neon. Although life was so difficult that he wanted to sell the mansion, he still put on airs and refused to sell it to the common people.He had seen this conspicuous house when he was searching nearby.

I can't help but see, just like what he complained before, this house really looks like it was built in the forest.The evergreen trees of various varieties are properly matched, and the lushness exceeds the two-meter-high fence.If it weren't for the fact that the yard is so big, the people who live in it may not see any sunlight.

It's a pity that after finding the corresponding real estate house, the other party refused to disclose the information to him because of his pathetic self-esteem.

"Shisaki, how many rooms are there in this house?" Kyosuke Kitajo, who was standing in the lobby on the first floor, looked up and looked at the rooms on the second and third floors from the patio.

The living room is [-] square meters, and the ceiling is high enough to play badminton in it.Next to it is an open kitchen with a long solid wood dining table, and on the other side of the L-shape is a Japanese room covered with tatami mats.The side facing the courtyard is full of huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Except for the thermal insulation, the view is absolutely first-class.

The stairs beside the living room lead to the second and third floors, and it can be seen that there are many rooms.

"Room?" Misaki Tetsuta was taken aback, isn't the focus now the courtyard! ?
Look at the creek, the complete supply of well water, you can just scoop it up and drink it.Look at the path covered with rain flower stones, walking on it with bare feet is as comfortable as a massage.Look at the verdant bamboo forest, pine trees and deer... With such a perfect courtyard in front of you, you start to care about the number of rooms again?

"There are ten bedrooms, three storage rooms..." Taking out his mobile phone, Tetsuta Kisaki began to read the information.The real estate folks are now waiting below, allowing guests to take a tour for themselves.

"Very well, this is it!" Hojo Kyosuke interrupted directly.

The houses I looked at before also had beautiful courtyards, but there were very few rooms. Only this one has three floors and an attic. At first glance, there are quite a lot of rooms.

"But in terms of price?" Tetsuta Misaki was a little hesitant. The house in front of him was good, but the price was too high.This is one of the reasons why it has not been sold for so many years, and the other is because it has too many rooms.

"Is there more than [-] million?" Hojo Kyosuke waved his hand. This is the money he decided to use to buy a house.

"..."

Tetsuta Sakisaki turned his head and stared at the elder brother at this moment. The elder brother who needed help from his subordinates even for meals had completely changed.

"No, including various taxes and fees, the total is 3.5 million yen."

"That's fine, thank you for your hard work, Misaki!" Hojo Kyosuke patted the loyal little brother on the shoulder vigorously.

So far, in almost three years, "One Punch Man" has released 12 booklets, printed 700 million copies, and sold nearly 60 copies. Even if half of the royalties are distributed to Yingli, there is still 1.75 million yen left.

"Attack on Titan" has released 8 copies, and the sales volume has reached 450 million copies, but because it only needs to pay a meager salary to the blond manga assistant, the royalties are 2.25 million yen.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has been printed twice for a total of 100 million copies, and the price of a single copy is 2000 yen. After tax, each book can earn 300 yen, and the royalties reach 3 million yen.

In addition, there are some peripheral income, which are almost offset by Hojo Kyosuke’s daily consumption, gift giving and investment in Okudera Miki’s restaurant.

That is to say, someone has a full 7 million yen in his bank account, which is why he dared to buy a luxury house and open an animation production company.Not to mention that he will copy other works in the future, even if he starts lying down now, he can live happily on the royalties in the future.

Without signing the contract immediately, how could such a hasty decision be made on buying a house?
In the afternoon, Hojo Kyosuke came to Eirashi's house.

Regarding the fact that Hojo Kyosuke wanted to buy a house in Tokyo, the Spencer family broke out with unprecedented enthusiasm.It's not easy, among the popular young people who are lying flat and unwilling to take on mortgages, there are still such young people who are not busy enjoying the money after making money, but settling down first.

Not only are they still studying hard, but they are also constantly improving in all aspects. Listening to their daughter's words, the two will start an animation company together in the future.

Hojo Kyosuke was so kind to his daughter.The couple remembered clearly that this boy didn't know anything about the otaku circle at first.Now, his daughter is studying animation production, and he immediately thought of starting an animation company.

If it weren't for the consideration of inappropriateness, Mr. Spencer even wanted to pay for Hojo Kyousuke to buy a luxury house with his own money.

"Aunt Sayuri, Uncle Spencer, let's go then."

Riding a motorcycle, Kitajo Kyosuke drove Eirari to the first item recorded in her small notebook.Well, in a small villa 300 meters from the Old Furukawa Garden.

"How is it here!"

Standing at the door of the villa with open arms, Ying Lili blinked her big eyes and asked, her pure blue pupils were full of anticipation.This place was chosen by myself so hard, as long as he stood on the balcony and yelled, Jing Jie would be able to hear him, and he could come to find him at home.After dinner in the evening, the two of them can still take a walk in their own courtyard. Didn't he say he likes the courtyard?Simply the best of both worlds!Don't bother him to take him home at night.

"Isn't this a little too small? My family will have to find another place to live if they come to Tokyo." Hojo Kyosuke told the truth. The villa in front of him is a classic European-style small western-style building. The white exterior wall looks quite gorgeous, but Very delicate and compact.

I can let uncles, aunts, sisters, grandparents come to live in my house!I have so many rooms in my house!
Thinking of this, Ying Lili pursed her lips and began to flip through her small books.Although she thought so sincerely, it was obviously impossible for Kyosuke to agree.This guy is like that, sometimes stubborn as hell.

"The next house will be far away, you have to be mentally prepared, this is definitely the best one!" The girl said seriously.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Hojo Kyosuke stroked her little head, and the smooth blonde hair felt as good as ever.He clearly knew that the so-called farther away in Yinglili's mouth did not refer to the distance from the private Fengzhi Qi Academy, but the distance from her home, the old Furukawa Garden.
