Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 419: Going to be a father?
"Now that everyone is here, Mr. Xia, come and cut the ribbon!"

But soon, Xia Fan's attention was diverted by President Saejima.

"Congratulations, your new home is completed!"

"Come on, everyone, take a photo together, stand straight, and say 'eggplant' to me!"

Together with my parents, I used scissors to cut the ribbon wrapped around the door, and took a photo with everyone in front of the handmade salute made by Saejima. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed.

“Everyone is welcome to visit at will. We are still in the final stage of finishing. If you have any comments, we can always make improvements…”

"Ah, the new home has such a warm atmosphere, this is what a normal real estate business should be like!"

As if he was the host and also like an artist leading the guests to appreciate the works, Saejima led everyone into the house to tour with tears in his eyes.

Real estate companies in District 11, in addition to land and property agency, also have new house construction as a regular business.

Because there is no such thing as "bare-shell delivery", the entire house, from design, construction, decoration to furniture, home appliances and soft furnishings, is all handled by "RPG Real Estate".

Therefore, Xia Fan’s house is now ready for move-in.

Because the land area is sufficient, the first floor boldly adopts a loft design, and the living room, kitchen, bedroom and laundry room are all very spacious.

The location where the living room leads to the courtyard retains the classical long eaves of District 11, ensuring that sunlight cannot directly shine into the house. It also creates a space for tasting melons in midsummer, watching snow in winter, and listening to rain in autumn nights, perfectly blending modern, simple and rustic elements together.

The photovoltaic panels used directly on the roof not only reduce daily electricity bills, but also have energy storage batteries to ensure emergency response during power outages caused by natural disasters.

"This house has an owner. I hereby inform everyone that those who should leave should leave, and those who should come should leave..."

"Grains and cereals are provided for generations. The Kitchen God returns to his place, and the rest of us stay out of the way!"

While everyone was visiting on their own, Father Xia came to the kitchen, took out the incense burner and lit the candle, knelt on the ground, closed his eyes and chanted...

Mother Xia took out handfuls of mixed grains and began to scatter them all over the house.

"Is this the religious custom of Dragon Country?"

As a "professional", Aoi Jinguji watched curiously from the side.

District 11 has been influenced by the Dragon Kingdom culture for thousands of years. Before moving to a new home, people will also look at the "Six Yaos" on the calendar, namely Xiansheng, Youyin, Xianfu, Fomie, Da'an and Chikou. There are also similar customs such as scattering beans to drive away ghosts, but the details are completely different.

"Well, checking the almanac and praying to the 'house god' is a folk tradition. My dad is a chef, and he originally worships the 'kitchen god', so he is particularly concerned about 'thanking the kitchen god'."

Xia Fan explained as he helped scatter the rice.

When moving into a new house, people traditionally invite the "Five Gods" into the house, including the God of the House, the God of the Doors, the God of the Kitchen, the God of the Toilet, and the God of the Land.

The Kitchen God, whose full name is Dongchu Siming Jiuling Yuanwang Dingfu Shenjun, is the God of Kitchen God. Father Xia's act of "thanking the Kitchen God" is also to pray for blessings, hoping that moving into the new house will be auspicious and prosperous, and that evil spirits will be warded off.

And Xia Mu's action of scattering grains and cereals was to drive away some "dirty things" that might exist here.

"It's such a big house, everyone should come and help spread the seeds!"

"That's right. This kind of delicate work is most suitable for a weak woman like me."

Yoshihide Higashino and Ryoko Tachibana each took a bag of grain and turned into "human seed drills", scattering the grain all over the house.

"Then I will reluctantly help you."

"Hanami wants to play too!"

The indifferent Yayoi Tsuki and the energetic Hoshina Hanami also joined this "grain brawl".

"Well, there's really no need... This house is very clean..."

Xia Fan wanted to stop it, but didn't know where to start.

You can't say that you broke into countless haunted houses and defeated "Namo Great Vow Cat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" before you could buy this "Buddha land" that couldn't be cleaner?
Anyway, before the house is officially delivered, President Saejima will arrange for a professional company to do a deep cleaning to purify the air and remove the residue left by the renovation, so everyone just let them make a fuss.

"Oh, that's disgusting, everyone, come up and see this room!"

After a while, Higashino Yoshihide's roar and Tachibana Ryoko's screams led the others to the second floor.

The second floor is Xia Fan's exclusive space. In addition to the spacious double bedrooms and dressing room, a small studio area was cleverly set up in the area that was originally a corridor.

"..."

The cozy second bedroom inside makes full use of the custom-made wardrobes and tatami in the whole house, perfectly combining the functionality of space and storage boxes. Anti-collision strips are thoughtfully laid at all corners, and the floor is also covered with cute crawling mats...

What is most noticeable is that there is a large white crib in the center of the room!
"..."

The air in the room suddenly became quiet.

All kinds of subtle and complex gazes fell on Xia Fan.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that, I don't know..."

"Xia Fan! You're not going to be a father, are you? For this kind of 'idol disqualification' super vicious public opinion incident, you should report it to me at least within a month of your pregnancy, so that I can deal with the fans, the hospital and the media!"

Higashino Yoshihide slapped Xia Fan on the shoulder, who was unable to defend himself, and asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

"Being a father? Then...who is the child's mother?!"

Tachibana Ryoko's burning gaze swept across the three women in the room...

"Boss, I have always strictly followed the company's artist rules. I can't even fall in love, let alone become a mother!"

"Even if... then... I'll just retire... and consider..."

Xing Minghua's face turned red, and she lowered her head to explain, her voice becoming weaker and weaker.

"What are you looking at? Do you think this is the reason why I stopped my music activities?"

Yayoi Tsuki crossed her arms and glared back coldly.

"You're not a three-year-old child anymore. You won't get pregnant by kissing... kissing..."

She turned her head and murmured in a voice that she could hear.

"How about it, everyone? This children's room was carefully designed by me after careful consideration of Mr. Xia and Miss Jinguji's needs after marriage..."

"Not only is there a separate children's room, but there are also some movable and detachable children's facilities in the warehouse in the backyard, which will make it easier for children to move around at home in the future..."

"For example, the currently popular integrated basketball, soccer and baseball fields..."

Saejima appeared out of nowhere and explained with a smug look on his face.

"No, I didn't mention such a design requirement at all. Don't make up your mind and increase other people's budget at will..."

In an instant, Xia Fan's entire body turned gray.

"Xia Fan..."

"Jinguji..."

"…After marriage?!"

But everyone had no intention of listening to his explanation and Saejima's "design instructions". They just looked back and forth at Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi with shocked and meaningful eyes.
