Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

It is obvious that this amount is not enough to entertain the members of the Miyazawa family, and there will be no other choice but to use the hotel.

"Welcome? That's true. Last time when I visited Haruno's hometown, Aunt Ako and the others were very welcoming."

Miyazawa Mana followed up the text message with a cute rabbit emoticon.

She was talking about her visit to Osaka during the Golden Week. At that time, Sawayama Ako and others treated her very warmly. If Sawayama Haruno had not been in a hurry to take her to Atami, she might have stayed in Osaka for a few more days.

However, even though her stay in Osaka was short, Mana Miyazawa still left a very deep impression on the people of the Sawayama family.

I just wonder what everyone’s expressions will be when he shows up with his twin sister.

Should be able to tell them apart, right?

After all, Mana has always had long hair, while Maki has more obvious short, slightly curly hair.

After thinking for a moment, Sawayama Haruno carefully asked the other party another question.

"How is Maki doing at home these days?"

"Fortunately."

Miyazawa Mana seemed to have expected him to ask this and quickly gave an answer.

"Although he rarely comes downstairs, we don't quarrel anymore. He occasionally talks to us. We plan to go out for dinner together tomorrow."

"The examinations at the hospital also showed that she was in good health. The doctor said that since there were no major issues with her eating habits and lifestyle, there was no need to worry about anything else for the time being."

Is it healthy?

Sawayama Haruno heaved a sigh of relief.

He already knew about the examination, but he felt more at ease after getting Mana's second confirmation.

In addition, he also received a lot of complaining text messages from Maki in the past few days, basically saying that she missed the food he cooked, but the other party did not clamor to go home, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Perhaps she knew that she would have to go back to Osaka in a while to discuss the marriage with her two families, so she tried her best to behave more obediently than before.

To be honest, even Sawayama Haruno herself was a little surprised by Maki's transformation.

After all, when the other party first came to his house, she looked like a rebellious bad girl, and even wanted to seduce him at every turn.

Although I was finally seduced by her, being able to change her awkward and troublesome personality was a kind of psychological comfort.

"Will Haruno take Maki back home during Christmas?" Miyazawa Mana asked in a text message.

"She should be brought back. She told me before that she would come back for Christmas."

Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a moment, clicked his fingers back and forth on the keyboard, and quickly edited a new text message to ask about the other party's arrangements.

"What are you going to do for Christmas, Mana?"

"I don't have any special plans. I plan to spend it at home. My father doesn't have to go on a business trip. It's been a long time since our family has spent Christmas together." Miyazawa Mana replied.

The other person is the type who would spend Christmas with his family.

This is somewhat rare in the island country. After all, for most young people, this festival is basically celebrated with their partners or good friends.

I can only spend time with my family when I am abroad.

Although he was somewhat surprised by this, Sawayama Haruno felt relieved for some reason after seeing the other party's answer.

He continued chatting with the other party on the phone for about ten minutes, and finally stopped the conversation after Miyazawa Mana said apologetically that she was going to take a shower.

"finally."

Sawayama Haruno turned the phone over and covered himself with it, closing his eyes and muttering to himself.

Mana finally stopped worrying about the relationship between him and Maki. Although Suguha Ezaki's presence still made her feel a little uncomfortable, she seemed to be slowly accepting it.

Even though doing so would seem a bit unfair to the other party, Sawayama Haruno was more reluctant to see himself separated from her.

As long as things are still moving in a positive direction, he thought.

As for the girls around him, the only ones whose issues have not been resolved are Mine Shiori and Ayano Yui. The former has decided to take responsibility, but due to her career and Mana, she is unable to push forward the progress so quickly.

It seems that I should give priority to Ayano Yui's affairs. I will find time to talk to her alone after returning to Osaka.

With this thought in mind, Sawayama Haruno turned off the small bedside lamp.

He had been running all day and had to get up early tomorrow to go back to Tokyo. Now he just wanted to rest early and stay energetic.

The next morning.

The sunlight failed to penetrate into the room through the tightly covered curtains, but the continuous ringing of the cell phone made Sawayama Haruno frown while he was sleeping.

Relying on his remaining memory, he found the phone on the quilt. After subconsciously swiping the call button, he asked tiredly, "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Sawayama Haruno, Mr. Sawayama?"

A somewhat cautious female voice came from the other end of the line.

Receiving a call from a strange woman early in the morning made Sawayama Haruno regain some consciousness.

He turned over in bed, sat up straight, and said without hesitation: "It's me, who are you?"

"Hello, this is a Mitsubishi UFJ Bank employee. The bank's backend is notifying you of a large payout at 8:40 this morning. It appears to be a salary remittance."

The other party explained very tactfully, "Because the amount of money being deposited is too large, Mr. Zeshan's card type currently does not support such a large amount of money. Your bank card and credit card have been temporarily frozen."

What kind of plane?

Sawayama Haruno scratched his head in annoyance.

"It's frozen. Does that mean I have to go to the bank counter to re-apply?"

“Yes, I’m sorry to cause you this trouble, but so is the bank.”

Before the other party could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by Sawayama Haruno.

"I see. I'll take care of it in the next two days. That's it for now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and threw the phone aside.

“They even froze my credit card.”

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his face vigorously.

I haven’t bought the return ticket yet. I don’t think I will have to ask Mine Shiori to borrow money to buy the ticket.

He guessed the reason for the freeze. It was simply that Kodansha had paid him royalties, but the amount was far beyond his card account.

He had the same problem when he first started working in his previous life, but he didn't expect that the banks on this island country would be more troublesome.

But he couldn't blame anyone else. After all, he had never thought that his bank account might be frozen before. He could only consider himself unlucky and go back early to deal with the bank card issue.

"The bad news is that I have to make another trip, but the good news is that I have money."

Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the hotel TV in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his fist and waved it vigorously in the air.

"Enough to buy a house and a car." The smile on his face was extremely bright.

Although it was only one month's royalty, Kodansha gave him a lot of sales dividends when they signed the contract. Now that Norwegian Wood is selling well, he has received an astronomical amount of royalties.

There are even many seniors who entered the industry earlier, whose income from an entire book might not be as high as his first month's income.

After all, it was a novel that had been on the best-selling book list for many years in the previous life. The money earned from this book alone was enough for most ordinary people to live a life of ease and comfort.

However, Sawayama Haruno's ambitions do not stop there. After all, he has more than one girlfriend to support, and he cannot give them that special "status", so he can only try his best to make up for it financially.

Regardless of anything else, at least he couldn't let Suguha live a worse life than before. Before she followed him out of the Ezaki family, she was a genuine lady from a famous family.

It is indeed unreasonable to force her to live with me in a small apartment with only two rooms.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but take a deep breath and made up his mind to go to the port area to look at houses as soon as he got back to settle the bank card issue.

Chapter 329 A Misunderstanding That Is Not Right

Taking the morning Shinkansen, Sawayama Haruno and Mine Shiori returned to Tokyo in no time.

Unlike the others who had a day to rest, Sawayama Haruno went to the bank immediately to complete the procedure of unfreezing his bank card after returning to Tokyo. After things were finally handled, he had to inform Kodansha about his situation.

He was able to breathe a sigh of relief only after the issue of the huge remittance was completely resolved.

Looking at the series of numbers in his bank account, Sawayama Haruno's smile became increasingly difficult to conceal.

"It's really different if you have money or not," he muttered to himself.

Although I haven't had much financial pressure before, having a large amount of money in the card still makes me feel more confident.

What I need to do next is very clear. I will use the money to buy the house first.

As a time traveler, Sawayama Haruno cannot deny that he still carries some conservative ideas from his previous life. After all, there is a difference between having a house of your own and a rented house.

What's more, he now has enough money to buy a house, so after confirming his account balance, he quickly called Riho Morikawa.

"Hello, Ms. Morikawa?"

As soon as the call was connected, Sawayama Haruno couldn't wait to say hello.

".Where are you?"

Morikawa Riho's tone sounded somewhat helpless, but she seemed to have known the purpose of Sawayama Haruno's call, and said straight to the point: "Give me the address, and I'll take you to find an agent later."

"Row."

Seeing that the other party was so decisive, Sawayama Haruno readily gave out his address.

This was something they had agreed on before. After Sawayama Haruno's royalties came in, Morikawa Riho would use her connections in the real estate industry to help him buy a suitable house in Minato Ward.

Of course, Morikawa Riho knew exactly when Sawayama Haruno's royalties would arrive, so she had been waiting for the call early in the morning.

Of course, Morikawa Riho also has her own little thoughts.

It's a rare opportunity to get paid for my article, so I should at least treat myself to a meal. The last time we went out to eat, she paid the bill.

Morikawa Riho has been waiting for the opportunity to defeat Sawayama Haruno, and what could be more appropriate right now than just receiving the royalties?

In order to rip off Sawayama Haruno, she even used her power once again and came out on a weekday to help Sawayama Haruno solve the housing problem.

Of course, isn’t it an editor’s job to help authors solve problems?

Only if the problem is solved earlier can Sawayama Haruno start writing the new book earlier. Therefore, Morikawa Riho feels that this is not called absenteeism, but at most attendance.

At noon, the warm sun shines.

The streets of Tokyo were full of pedestrians wearing bulky winter clothes. At this moment, Sawayama Haruno was standing next to the bus stop at the agreed location, patiently waiting for Morikawa Riho to appear.

Fortunately, the other party did not make him wait too long. Soon, a small black taxi stopped at the bottom of the bus stop.

Wearing white leather boots and dressed like an English aristocratic lady from the late 20th century, Morikawa Riho quickly walked out of the car.

She also deliberately changed into an off-white long windbreaker. The goose yellow lining made her look cool and cute, especially when she tied her hair up and hid it in a light-colored gauze hat. The look was eye-catching, simple yet elegant.

But then again, why does this guy's makeup and styling make him look younger each time? I remember when they first met, Morikawa Riho was still going for the pure and lusty queen style, the type who didn't bother to hide her proud figure.

Recently, I have become unexpectedly conservative and cute.

Sure enough, even a strong woman like Riho Morikawa would be a little concerned about her age?

Sawayama Haruno complained a few words in his heart, then stepped forward and took the initiative to greet him.

"Thank you for making a special trip, Miss Morikawa." Sawayama Haruno said with a smile.

"Haven't you bothered me enough?"

Morikawa Riho glared at him unhappily.

"Please treat me to dinner tonight, okay?"

"Of course. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have found a chance to invite you to dinner."

Sawayama Haruno agreed without hesitation.

After all, the other party has helped me with so many things and can be regarded as my mentor. Of course, I have to show my appreciation after receiving the royalties.

Well. Besides this there is another reason. Suguha Ezaki has something to do in the evening and can't come back for dinner. He is the only one left at home, so he has to find a substitute dinner partner, Riho Morikawa.

I hope the other party won’t be angry when he knows she is a backup candidate. At worst, my wallet will just bleed a little more tonight.

"I have already contacted someone. I'll go see him now. You can first tell me the type of house you want. I'll send it to him in advance and show you the housing information when it's convenient." Riho Morikawa said casually.

"What type of house do you want?"

Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, it should be big, preferably more than two floors, with more than seven rooms. Then the environment should be as good as possible, preferably in some high-end villa area."
