I refuse to be a plagiarist

Looking at these two young people who came together, he couldn't help but recall his youthful student days.

Well, although he didn't have anyone to compose the poetry of youth with, the vague face of the girl from the next class still made him sigh in his heart.

"Haha, definitely next time.

Uncle, let’s go.”

Faced with the pet owner's joke with a hint of nostalgia, Hasegawa did not make any excuses, but smiled and waved goodbye to him.

This is different from the misunderstandings among classmates at school.

He couldn't even think of defending himself against the opinion of this stranger whose lives would not have much intersection with his.

It was a certain young lady around him.

Compared to the ease she showed when she met her classmates just now, the expression on her face at this moment seemed a little cute to Hasegawa...

Chapter 80: Nice guy, but no house yet

Putting ideas into action has always been Hasegawa's mindset to ensure that he can achieve his goals efficiently.

After sending Yukinoshita Haruno to the train, he returned home alone, simply prepared for tonight's meal, and immediately began intensively surfing the Internet, targeting netizens who keep cats.

In fact, he had considered raising a pet for a long time, but for some reasons, he had never taken action.

When passing by the pet shop with Yukinoshita in the afternoon, Hasegawa picked up the idea that he had put aside before.

However, after observing for a few hours, he went from being full of energy at the beginning to being exhausted, and collapsed on the back of the chair.

【Oh shit.....】

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although they all keep pets, different netizens form different "camps" in terms of concepts.

For example, there are the cat slaves who are obsessed with their pets and treat them as their masters; there are the cat abusers who are hated by everyone and are inhumane; and there are the passers-by who use both carrots and sticks and remain neutral.

People from different factions represent different attitudes towards pets.

If he had to add a label to himself, Hasegawa felt that he might be inclined to the neutral camp.

Of course he likes pets. After all, if he didn't like them, he wouldn't waste his time and energy on them.

But at the same time, when his pet showed any pretentious behavior, he felt it would be difficult for him to turn into a slave and allow the pet to step on his head.

Just like everyone likes obedient children.

If the other party doesn't understand the reason and doesn't obey, beating him up is the simplest and most effective way.

After all, although there are people who only remember to eat and not to be beaten, they are still a minority.

This is true for humans, but for cats...

[I guess...it shouldn't be too different, right?]

Looking at the ceiling thoughtfully.

Now that the decision has been made, action must be taken as soon as possible.

But before that, there is an important problem waiting for him to solve.

--move place

He took out his cell phone and skillfully found a profile picture of a woman with long red hair from his contacts.

Although the small room is enough for him to survive alone, if a four-legged beast is added, it might be a bit tight.

In addition, he had thought about changing his residence a long time ago, and now that he had officially started to take action, he could be considered to be getting down to business.

"Moshimoshi...Oh, editor sister?

It’s me, Hasegawa.

I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the night, may I ask......"

In fact, he had made considerable preparations for the move before, but compared with the information he had collected, finding a more reliable senior to consult was obviously a good choice.

".......Oh, boy, are you finally ready to change places?"

The other end of the phone.

After learning of Hasegawa's intention, Akane Akasaka breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but feel happy for the other party's decision:

"You know what?

When I received the call just now, I thought you wanted to ask me out tonight~"

"...

How is that possible? You are such a joker."

I looked up at the clock on the wall.

Although he used to do some things like cultivating immortality until dawn, it was a bit too much to call someone to go out and play in the middle of the night.

Especially a person of the opposite sex.

Although the other party is older than himself, if such an operation were really done, it would indeed be easy for people to have impure thoughts.

If something beautiful really happened, he even thought of a title, which would be "Meeting the most powerful you at the most powerful age."

[Ahem, ahem.....it doesn't seem to be suitable for Miss Hongsaka. ]

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Although it's just my imagination, it does seem a bit excessive to label a young girl who has just graduated from college and started working not long ago as "the most powerful" by myself.

Even if it's just a joke...

"Why, young man, are you secretly saying something bad about me?"

"Haha...that's impossible.

Sister Zhu Yin, you are too sensitive and have a nervous breakdown."

Seeing no response from the other end of the phone for a long time, Akane Hongsaka, who had just had a drink in the apartment, raised her eyebrows and made a bold guess based on a woman's unique sixth sense.

Not to mention whether this so-called "sixth sense" is scientific or not, it actually happened to be so effective that it actually scared Hasegawa on the other end of the phone, who hurriedly started to explain.

At the same time, I couldn't help but complain in my heart: Is this a woman's sixth sense? !

If I had this trick, wouldn't I make a lot of money by drawing blind boxes, touching gashapon toys, etc.?

"How about this...I'll ask my friend for you tomorrow.

I remember she mentioned a while ago that there were several good properties that were listed for sale.”

"Oh, then thank you very much, Sister Zhu Yin."

Although an accurate answer has not been given yet, Hasegawa can feel from the other party's tone that the matter is basically settled.

"But...can you tell me a little bit?

Young man, the reason why you suddenly want to change your residence......"

On the other end of the phone, a hint of curiosity appeared on Akane Benizaka's slightly drunk face.

To be honest, she remembered that Hasegawa had mentioned this topic to her last year.

But after discussing for a long time, the other party finally decided not to move because of his Buddhist character of going with the flow and chose to continue staying in that "senior citizen apartment".

Gossip is human nature.

It would be impossible for Akane Akinosaka not to be curious about the reason that made Hasegawa make such a sudden decision.

"Tell the truth to your sister.

Could it be that... he recently found a girlfriend and felt that the small house was inconvenient to live in, so he suddenly wanted to move to a bigger residence?"

He suppressed the joy that radiated from deep within his heart.

Just like the "the most powerful you" that Hasegawa had complained about in his heart before, in the eyes of Akane Akinosaka, Hasegawa at this moment was just at an age where he enjoyed love and wrote his youth with the person he loved.

Well...especially those shameless things.

Moreover, compared with other people of the same age around him, in the eyes of Akane Akasaka, Hasegawa is undoubtedly the type of young, promising and competitive person.

So living together in advance doesn't seem to be a big deal...

“Uh, that’s not the case.

Purchasing my own property was a decision I made after considering it for a long time. Since it is something I have to do sooner or later, I might as well make arrangements now.

But if I had to give a reason...

Maybe it’s because I’m planning to get a cat soon.”

"Ah, ah?"

Chapter 81: Special Existence

Hearing the voice coming from the other end of the phone without any hesitation, Akane Benizaka was slightly stunned, and then fell into silence for a long time.

"A-a cat?"

"Ah."

"......"

Hasegawa's behavior of buying a big house for a cat that he hasn't even got yet made Akane Benizaka on the other end of the phone feel a sense of confusion.

She still remembers it clearly.

This young man once mentioned a Chinese metaphor by chance when we were having dinner together, something like "making a plate of dumplings just to be jealous", which roughly means going around in a big circle to achieve a small goal.

Now that this description is directly applied to the other person, Akane Benizaka thinks it is the most appropriate.

The gossip that had originally come to my mind disappeared in an instant.

On the other hand, perhaps sensing the stiffness in Akane Akasaka's voice on the other end of the line, Hasegawa realized that there might have been some misunderstanding in his previous words and hurriedly began to explain.

Raising the Yuan-devouring Beast is certainly one of the many plans he is going to implement in the near future, but it is not very realistic to prepare a big house just for such a small thing.

——Buying a house for a cat? What kind of family conditions are you talking about!

You're starting to get carried away just a few days after getting out of poverty, right?

Of course, thanks to his "great achievement" of plagiarizing, Hasegawa Hide has indeed accumulated considerable wealth in the past year.

But even so, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to find a suitable residence in this place where every inch of land is valuable.

The popular loan link...I'm afraid we can't escape this wave.

However, in Hasegawa's own opinion, given the current economic situation, even if he needs to temporarily borrow money from the bank and repay it as soon as possible, it is not a big challenge.

perhaps........

Besides, for him who is currently renting a house, purchasing his own property is an inevitable necessity and it is only a matter of time.

Again.

Since it is something that you have to consider sooner or later, it is definitely not a rash decision to start preparing in advance.

People without thought, he must worry about.

Just like those young boys and girls who engage in love with the idea of ​​getting married and starting a family.

In addition to the impressions and feelings left by both parties on each other, things like family and values ​​definitely need to be considered in advance.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

After greeting his editor sister, Akane Benizaka, in advance, Hasegawa, feeling relieved, lay down on the bed with his head tilted back, like a salted fish.

His eyes swept across this not-so-spacious but familiar room, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although I know in my heart that leaving here is a matter of time, but when I think about the day coming, I feel a subtle sense of suffocation.

He thought that this was probably the complex called "nostalgia" hidden deep in his heart...

"move place?

It’s not easy, have you finally decided to say goodbye to that suburb?”
