I won't be a loser.

Another year of budding: 332. Would you like to try on a shrine maiden costume?

It was not yet nine o'clock in the morning, just at eight forty, when the doorbell rang, causing Fuji and Nunu, who were staying at home, to stop what they were doing.

She is busy with work on weekdays and has almost no time to deal with the housework piled up at home. It is usually on weekends that she has enough time to tidy up the apartment. After learning about the invitation from the wise man, she has tried her best to tidy up the housework some time ago, but there are still some things piled up that she has not been able to deal with.

For example, the clothes that were changed last night have not yet been put out to dry. And with sunny weather like today, she and her daughter's clothes and bedding can be put out on the balcony to dry for a while, and the same goes for the miscellaneous items in the living room...

Things that you don’t pay much attention to normally, when you notice them, become a small lump in your heart.

Ding-dong-

When the doorbell rang, Fujiwa Nunu was considering whether to reject Xianren or ask him to help with the housework?

When I arrived at the door and opened it, I saw the wise man standing at the door. He looked a little haggard, as if he had not had a good rest.

"Are you okay?"

"Ok?"

"You look so bad, are you a virgin?"

The subtle words made the wise man standing at the door look at her with a slightly dull look for a while, then he closed his eyes, slowly walked in front of her, opened his arms, and hugged Fujihe Nunu into his arms, burying his face in her shoulder.

The refreshing fragrance, like that of green orange, made Xianren hug Fujiwa and Nunu a little tighter, but it did not last too long. He loosened his arms and looked a little more cheerful.

Seeing Fujiwara no Nu's face slightly red and a little surprised, Xianren couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Is Elliot awake?"

"Where are you going today? If it's a long walk and it's going to be very strenuous, I'm going to let Elliot stay home."

"Is it okay to be home alone?"

"She's home alone most of the time. It's better not to treat Elliot like an ordinary child."

Xianren, who was standing at the door, looked back at the car parked near the apartment door, then looked at Fuji and Nv Nv in front of him and pointed at the car at the door.

"There are cars to pick us up along the way, but the most tiring part is probably the selection process."

"Hmm? What's the choice?"

"Let's go."

She wanted to refuse, but looking at the wise man standing in front of her, Fujiwara thought for a moment.

"Wait a mininute."

The door closed, leaving the wise man standing at the door.

Looking at the door that was suddenly closed in front of him, he was silent for a moment, slowly returned to the car, and sat down in the passenger seat. The person in the driver's seat next to him was the woman who introduced the property to Xianren last time.

"Today, I'm really sorry to trouble Miss Yazawa."

"No, that's not the case. The house that Miyamizu-kun bought last time helped me complete my monthly sales in one fell swoop. I'd like to ask Miyamizu-kun for your guidance today."

"I don't know much about real estate, and I hope Ms. Yazawa can give me some advice when I buy a house. Please give me your guidance."

After exchanging polite greetings, the wise man, who had no idea what they were talking about, fell silent. Still feeling a little tired, he sat in the passenger seat and slowly closed his eyes.

About half an hour later, in the warm sunshine, Xianren, who had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, heard some noise, opened his eyes, and saw Fujiwa Nunu getting into the car, and Elio beside her.

The standard black and white work suit made Xianren feel conflicted for a moment. He then looked at his daughter, who was wearing a normal aqua blue dress and looked at him with confusion.

"So, can you tell me your destination now, Miyamizu-kun~"

"Let's drive."

Yazawa Emmi also didn't know what the relationship between that lady and Miyamizu-kun was, but since Miyamizu-kun let her drive, and considering her own performance this month, she drove silently and headed towards Korakuen according to the route that had been determined earlier.

Sitting in the car, Fuji and Nunu, who didn't know the destination, watched the car slowly moving and the surrounding scenery receding. Their eyes fell on Xianren, and they waited quietly for his explanation.

"First, go to Bunkyo-ku. When you get there, you'll understand."

"You live in Bunkyo Ward now, right?"

"Well, that's near where I live. It's about five or six blocks away from where I live."

It's a little far, but not very far.

Thinking about what Xianren and she had talked about some time ago, and then thinking about how mysterious today was, Fujihe Nunu had some guesses in her heart, but she was still somewhat unwilling to believe her own guesses.

It still takes a little time to get from Adachi Ward to Bunkyo Ward.

Adachi's Jiangbei is almost on the edge of Adachi, but even if you start from the edge of Adachi, you still have to cross the Kita Ward in the middle. In addition, the destination you want to reach is also on the edge of Bunkyo Ward, which is equivalent to having to cross another Bunkyo Ward.

The journey across the two districts took almost an hour.

"About 40 minutes?"

When I got off the bus, I looked at the time and found that it took almost an hour to walk all the way, which made Xianren feel a little emotional.

“Because there are more vehicles on weekends, there was nothing we could do, but fortunately we arrived before noon.”

10:13

It was almost noon, and Xianren got out of the car and looked at Fujiwa Nunu and Elio who was holding her hand.

"This is it, Koraku 2-chome, Bunkyo-ku."

"Is this where you live, Xianren?"

"No, it's just near the apartment where I live. That's where I live."

He pointed his hand towards the northeast. The place where he lived was very close to this apartment. It would only take about fifteen minutes to walk there.

"Go north past Kasuga Avenue and walk a little further, and you'll find where I live. It's only about a fifteen-minute walk. Let's not talk about that anymore, let's go check out the apartment here first."

"Are you... planning on buying this for yourself? Moving into a new house?"

"Let's go take a look first."

Under the guidance of Miss Yazawa, he, Fujiwa and her mother and daughter came to the third floor of the apartment.

Including the ground floor at the entrance, the apartment has a total of five floors. The second and fifth floors are already occupied, and the remaining floors are the third and fourth. Xianren was not interested in the fourth floor, so he chose the third floor in the middle.

"There are four floors above, and it's the same as here. If you don't like it here, you can also go and take a look at the apartments on the fourth floor."

He himself was not interested in the fourth floor, but there was no guarantee that Fujihe Nunu would dislike the fourth-floor apartment like him. So in order to take care of the other party and consider the other party's thoughts, he told Fujihe Nunu who was beside him about the fourth floor.

Fuji and Nunu entered the apartment and looked at the spacious space and some exquisite furniture. From the outside, it seemed that the apartment seemed a bit old, but she didn't expect the interior to be so new.

"I don't mind, but do you mean to buy this place?"

Even now, Fujiwara and Nvwu were still a little bit unbelievable in their hearts. They stared curiously at Xianren beside them, carefully observing the expression on his face. It didn't look like he was playing a prank.

The time they had known each other was definitely not a break. Even if he had changed a little during the five years since they last met, he wouldn't have become someone she didn't recognize at all.

"Let's take a look first."

Xianren had already learned about this place, so he mainly asked Miss Yazawa, who was the intermediary, to introduce the situation here to Fuji and Nunu. He sat down in the living room and watched Miss Yazawa introduce the general situation of the apartment to Fuji and Nunu.

"This apartment was built in 1969 and renovated two years ago. The interior is decorated in a modern style, making it suitable for an average family to live in. The total area is 18.1 pings, or 59.84 square meters, and it's a 2LDK."

While listening to the introduction of the real estate agent, Fujiwa Nunu was also observing Xianren's expression from time to time. Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, seemed to have nothing to do with him when he entered the apartment. He sat quietly at the table, and the young Elio came to his side and sat down. Her tender face was fixed on Xianren beside her.

"It's only a six-minute walk from the nearest Korakuen Station. There are also several convenience stores nearby, and even the Bunkyo Ward Office is nearby."

"So, what's the price of this apartment?"

"It's 4,080 million yen in total, which isn't too expensive. It supports a 35-year installment loan. Of course, I don't think such a long-term loan is necessary. If you were Miyamizu-kun, I don't think you would mind the cost too much."

"Ok?"

Noticing the other party's subtext, Fujiwara and Nunu couldn't help but look at Xianren with a concerned expression.

"I personally feel it's quite good here. There aren't any major problems. The facilities nearby are quite complete. Even if I want to go to school, the elementary school is just a little way to the north. A little way south is Shinjuku. After crossing Mejiro-dori, it's Shinjuku."

After expressing his opinion, he looked at Fuji and Nunu in front of him, who seemed to be still a little conflicted.

He gestured to Ms. Yazawa, the intermediary, and Ms. Yazawa Xiaomei took out several documents from her briefcase. These were all the property information that Xianren had printed out earlier and were temporarily placed in Ms. Yazawa Xiaomei's briefcase.

"The remaining properties are mostly apartments, and there are some single-family houses, but most of them are... a little too small. If you want to buy a larger single-family house in Bunkyo Ward, the price you need is also a bit... well, it depends on what you like."

“I love where I live now.”

"Elliot will grow up. For her future, my suggestion is to consider buying here. You can also consider Setagaya. However, the prices in Setagaya are not low, and the atmosphere in Bunkyo Ward is relatively better."

Setagaya is not considered a central area of Tokyo, so the land price is not as expensive as in Bunkyo Ward. Some wealthy people also prefer to build their own villas in Setagaya.

For example, properties with a land area of more than 90 square meters are priced at over 5,000 million yen in Bunkyo Ward, but in the Setagaya area, the general price is around million yen.

"For example, the prices here are relatively cheap. There are also luxury apartments in Otsuka that cost around 120 million yen. I think they're not bad either. I think you can go there and have a look. I also have another place nearby, so it should be relatively close."

"Another residence..."

After hearing what Xianren said, Fuji and Nunu, who were standing in the apartment, fell into silence.

"I'm going to put Elio's name on the property. We don't have any relationship at the moment, so Elio, who is related by blood, is more appropriate."

Yazawa Xiaomei pretended that she heard nothing, stood quietly by the side, closed her eyes, and acted like a statue.

"What if I say no?"

"I'll wait until Elliot grows up and then give it to her. But then, I won't be able to choose it myself."

Facing the suddenly powerful Xianren, Fujiwa Nunu looked at him silently for a while, then sighed helplessly and looked at the environment inside the apartment again. It was more than twice as big as the apartment she lived in now, and the space was exceptionally open. The sunlight fell into the house, and the warm feeling made Fujiwa Nunu miss her life in Itomori.

"Have you ever thought about returning to the Ito-monitor life?"

"I haven't had such thoughts. Unless something unexpected happens, the Miyamizu family will still be inherited by Sanye or Yotsuba. As a boy, I can't inherit the Miyamizu family."

"Come to think of it, it's hard to imagine you in a miko costume, sage."

Looking at this apartment, Fuji and Nunu felt a little conflicted. If she didn't agree, she didn't know what Xianren would do. As for her daughter Elio, Elio was too young now.

"It's noon now, let's go have lunch together first. After lunch, we can continue to look at other places."

"........"

The others had no problem with it, so they asked Miss Yazawa to drive the three of them to a nearby restaurant, where the four of them had lunch together.

Elio, who looked young, had long passed the stage of needing to be fed and could easily eat by herself. This made Xianren stare at her for a long time. Until Elio noticed something and looked at Xianren, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

Yazawa Sami always felt that the atmosphere and relationships were a bit subtle. Looking at the reactions of the three people, she didn't know how to describe her feelings. She felt a little embarrassed and silently ate her own dish and remained silent.

Another year of budding: 333. They are coming to my house

There aren't many single-family houses in Bunkyo Ward, especially those for sale. Most of them are very small. Occasionally there are large single-family houses, and the prices start from 100 million yen. I was lucky to buy a 'coffee house' last time.

Fujiwara no Nakadashi, whose home in Itomori is a big house after all, now lives in a small apartment. However, she is not very interested in buying these small and cramped single-family houses at a high price as her future home.

“Living in such a small space is not much different from the apartment I live in now.”

This kind of evaluation also made Xianren give up the idea of buying a single-family house. He looked at a larger and cheaper apartment with an area of 83.46 square meters and a price of 9,480 million yen.

"It has two bedrooms, a large living room, and an additional 5.84 square meters of balcony, which adds up to about 90 square meters of space. It's right at the entrance of Nezu Station, so I think the price is reasonable."

Staring at the apartment information on the table and comparing it with several other ones, Xianren was quite satisfied. Fujiwa Nunu also stared at the apartment quietly. After a long silence, he looked at Yazawa Xiaomei beside him.

"It's located near the University of Tokyo, with Ueno Park right next to it. There are also various shops and restaurants nearby, and there are also ancient temples nearby. From all angles, this apartment is worth choosing."

It can be seen that the two of them are quite satisfied with this apartment. Yazawa Xiaomei also thinks that there is nothing wrong with this apartment, so she began to persuade the two of them.

He was mainly trying to persuade the lady named Fujiwa. Seeing that she was interested, he opened the map on his phone, which showed the environment and educational resources near the apartment.

"For example, right here is Nezu Elementary School. Your daughter is about to start elementary school, right? This is a good choice. Next, you can consider Tokyo Metropolitan Ueno High School. There's a private school right in front of Nezu Station..."

From what I understand, the conditions and all aspects are very satisfactory, but in the end, after lunch, I still let Yazawa Xiaomei send me to the door of the apartment and went inside to take a closer look.

The entrance to the apartment is different from the current apartments of Kento and Fujiwa. It has the same entrance and a dedicated elevator. The warm colors make everyone who enters the apartment satisfied.

Then we came to the 5th floor of the apartment and entered the room. The main colors were black and white, with snow-white walls and black floors.

“When was this apartment built?”

"From 1999 to now, it's been 17 years in total. During this period, there have been renovations, so it doesn't feel old."

Yazawa Ami gave a serious and responsible answer, and observed the expressions of the two people who made the decision. Kento frowned slightly, but Fuji and Naoto didn't seem to care much.

"Let's go to the balcony and take a look."
