Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

"Seven rooms??"

Morikawa Riho looked at him in surprise.

"What do you need seven rooms for?" she asked in amazement.

A luxury villa with seven rooms is quite rare in the island country, especially in Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable. Even if you go to Ota Ward or Minato Ward, it is difficult to see many luxury villas like this.

Normal people wouldn't think of making so many rooms.

".I have my own plans. First of all, I have to have four rooms for my family to live in, right?"

Zeshan Haruno said helplessly: "Secondly, we need a study room as well, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with it when working. It would be better to have a game room or a screening room. Roughly speaking, seven is the minimum."

He shares a room with Maki, Suguha shares a room, and the future Mana also has to keep a room.

If the future Mana is included, then Shiori must be included as well.

In addition, it is still unknown what Ayano Yui will plan for the future. It is also possible that this girl will come and live in my house. After all, there is a bedroom of hers even in my old home in the countryside of Osaka. To be on the safe side, it is better to leave a spare guest bedroom for her.

Needless to say, the study is used for office work, while the game room and the screening room are just to cater to Maki's playful personality.

That guy will definitely be excited when he finds out, and Sawayama Haruno plans to give it to him as a surprise.

"Seven rooms."

After hearing Sawayama Haruno's explanation, Morikawa Riho looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Have you ever thought about how big a villa with seven rooms is? Although you have a lot of royalties this month, it would be difficult to buy a house like that. You don't plan to spend all your money in one go, do you?"

“In installments.”

Sawayama Haruno said as a matter of course: "I'm not in a hurry. After the copyright income comes in, it will definitely be enough to pay off the loan."

".That's true." Morikawa Riho rubbed her brows and said in a troubled tone, "But with such conditions, I guess there won't be many houses to find."

There are still some luxurious villas in Tokyo, but the problem is that few of these luxurious villas are sold directly to the public. Most of them are kept for rent.

House prices in the island nation have been falling in recent years. For those who own luxurious villas, they are certainly unwilling to sell their houses at a discount. They would rather leave them there gathering dust for four or five years than sell them easily. After all, the loss in the middle is too great.

After thinking it over, Morikawa Riho reluctantly said, "I see. Anyway, I'll send your requirements first, but it's hard to say what kind of house I can find. Do you have any alternative plans?"

"Nothing."

Sawayama Haruno shook his head.

"A good environment and a big house are enough."

"What about transportation? Don't you manage transportation?"

"If you buy a car, you won't have to worry about these things. It doesn't matter if it's far from the station." Sawayama Haruno said without hesitation.

Most of the luxury homes are not close to the train station. In the end, one still has to rely on private cars and other means of transportation to get around. He had considered this carefully before and transportation could be considered a secondary option.

Seeing that Sawayama Haruno was determined to do so, Morikawa Riho did not try to persuade her any further.

She first sent all the requirements to her agent friend, and then took Sawayama Haruno to the minato area.

By the time the two arrived at the agreed location, the agent who had been prepared in advance had been waiting in the cafe for a long time.

When he saw Riho Morikawa appear, he greeted her warmly.

"Morikawa, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Saito, long time no see."

Morikawa Riho leaned slightly to the side and said with a smile, "This is Zeshan. He was the one who asked me to contact you this time."

"Hello, Mr. Zeshan."

When he heard that the young man in front of him was the main customer this time, Saito Terutarou's eyes suddenly lit up.

He took out a business card from his pocket and said politely, "My name is Saito Terutarou. You can call me Saito or Terutarou."

"Hello."

Out of courtesy, Sawayama Haruno took the other party's business card.

Riho Morikawa, who was standing next to him, seemed to know that he was not good at this kind of social activities, and spoke first: "How about the message I just sent you? Do you have a suitable house?"

"House. To be honest, I do have one."

Hearing what Morikawa Riho said, Saito Terutarou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"There are still a few villas that meet the requirements, but the location is not very good, or there are other problems. Sit down and talk slowly."

He took the initiative to invite the two to sit down, and then politely helped to order two cups of coffee. Then he began to call up the information he had prepared early in the morning on the tablet he carried with him.

"Here, Mr. Zeshan, here are the houses we have found based on your conditions. You can take a look at the situation."

He pushed the tablet over, and Sawayama Haruno glanced at it with some curiosity.

They are all luxurious large flats. There are also duplex villas in the back, but the area may appear to be smaller and is far from seven rooms.

"Only this?"

Morikawa Riho came over and after taking a few glances, she said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are all these unused villas on the top of the mountain being taken out? At least they should be convenient for driving around, right?"

You don’t even need to look at the mountaintop villa to know how remote it is. It takes a long detour to drive into the city center.

Unless you live in a rural area, this type of villa is very inconvenient to live in.

"Generally speaking, most houses with more than seven rooms are used for leisure and vacation. I included the mountaintop villa in the list based on Mr. Zeshan's request."

Saito Huitaro paused, then asked doubtfully: "Morikawa, are you two dating?"

In fact, he had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

This was not the first time that Riho Morikawa had introduced a friend here, but this time the other party seemed particularly attentive.

Moreover, her action of leaning forward to watch the tablet together seemed a little too intimate. If someone didn't know her, they might think she was looking for a new house for herself.

Such intimate behavior made it hard for him not to suspect whether the other party was dating this Mr. Zeshan. Apart from that, there was no other way to explain why the other party was so concerned about someone else's house purchase, right?

"Eh"

Morikawa Riho subconsciously leaned back a little.

"No, you think too much."

She quickly reacted and calmly explained, "He is actually one of my authors. I introduced him to you purely for his sake."

“Ah, really?”

Seeing this, Saito Terutarou didn't dare to continue asking.

On the other hand, Sawayama Haruno, who was watching with great interest on his tablet, asked curiously, "There are houses in Ota Ward, but I haven't seen any high-end residential areas like Denenchofu."

"Denenchofu?"

After hearing what Sawayama Haruno said, Saito Terutarou was suddenly in trouble.

"To be honest, wealthy areas like Denenchofu are rarely listed for sale in real estate agencies like ours."

Saito Terutarou explained helplessly, "People who can live in places like that are not just rich. If you want to buy a house in that place, most of them have to find personal connections to negotiate."

"That's it"

Sawayama Haruno shook his head with some regret.

He thought he could buy a house similar to the Ezaki family's.

But it is also true that the house where Ezaki Suguha lived before was obviously a retro Japanese-style mansion. There are very few buildings like that in the whole of Tokyo, and ordinary wealthy people cannot afford to live in such a house. If you use the house in your previous life to explain, it is probably equivalent to a courtyard house in the capital, and it is a courtyard house in a very good location.

After thinking for a moment, Sawayama Haruno no longer worried about whether he could buy a house like the one in Denenchofu.

He focused his attention on the tablet in front of him, and when he saw the right time, he took a few photos and sent them to Miyazawa Maki and Esaki Suguha.

Chapter 330: Stubborn yet considerate Maki

After sending all the photos of the house to the two girls, Sawayama Haruno soon received their reply text messages.

After some thought, he asked curiously, "Where is the exact location of this mountaintop villa?"

The house he was talking about was the only one marked as a hilltop villa on the tablet, and it was also the one that Morikawa Riho couldn't help but complain about before.

Seeing Sawayama Haruno suddenly bring it up, Morikawa Riho's heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but gently pull his pants under the table.

Kiriyama-sensei, please don't buy it.

Morikawa Riho had a headache. This kind of mountaintop villa was very novel to live in at first, but after living there for a long time it was definitely not as convenient as a house in a central area. People bought it to go there occasionally for vacation, not to live there for a long time.

The house itself is located in a relatively remote area in Minato Ward. If you really buy it, even if you have a private car, it will take some effort to go to the center of Tokyo. In the words of Riho Morikawa herself, this kind of house is the type that will not cheat the poor.

"this?"

Saito Terutarou enthusiastically helped to introduce them, and from time to time he glanced at Morikawa Riho with a somewhat strange look.

The other party thought that his action just now was very covert, but was still accidentally discovered by Saito Terutarou.

“Although this house is labeled as a hilltop villa, it is actually just built on a small hill, far from being a normal hilltop.”

Saito Terutarou put on a professional smirk and said, "It's indeed a bit far from the heart of the port area, but the owner of this villa has been selling it for many years. If Mr. Sawayama is interested in buying it, I can help contact him and see if I can get a discount."

"That's it"

Sawayama Haruno ignored Morikawa Riho who was trying hard to make faces at the side, and began to feel conflicted while stroking his chin.

He is not a fool and knows that such a house would be uncomfortable to live in for a long time, but there is a fool in his family. As soon as the photo was sent, Miyazawa Maki had already made her choice.

Well. After all, Maki is the oldest now, so it’s okay for him to act stupid once in a while.

Besides, there was no need to rush to move in after buying the apartment. The shared apartment they were living in in Shinjuku would still have a long time to run out, and by the time it ended, he would have made a fortune from "Norwegian Wood".

In his opinion, such a big house might be a good place for Maki or Suguha to relax occasionally.

If worst comes to worst, you can bring them there to live for a while after getting married, or you can go there to rest after giving birth. The environment near the mountaintop villa is better than other houses.

"Then Mr. Saito, please help me contact him."

Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and said tactfully: "But I still need to think about it for a while, and I also need to discuss the house with my family."

"I understand."

Seeing that Haruno Yamazawa seemed really interested in purchasing this luxurious mountaintop villa, Saito Terutarou immediately showed an extremely bright smile on his face.

On the contrary, Morikawa Riho on the side had a stern face from the beginning, as if she didn't want to talk.

"Are there any other houses? Besides villas and large flats?"

"some."

Saito Terutarou immediately helped switch the document to information about apartment-style residences and duplex houses.

Most of the houses above are located in other areas of Tokyo, with the largest number near Shibuya.

Sawayama Haruno took a few casual glances and found that the houses above did not quite meet his requirements, and immediately looked uninterested.

Living in such a place would be very convenient for going to school or work, but other disadvantages are also obvious, and the environment is definitely not as good as the wealthy residential areas in Minato Ward and Ota Ward.

I feel like I shouldn’t consider buying a house in this kind of place. If I were still single, or if I only had Maki Miyazawa as my girlfriend, then buying these houses would be quite appropriate.

Sawayama Haruno touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then asked Saito Terutarou in front of him.

They chatted for a while in the cafe until time slowly came to half past four. Seeing that he had already introduced other housing information to Sawayama Haruno and that Morikawa Riho was not happy the whole time, Saito Terutarou was tactful and left first.

As the waiter came forward to take away the half cup of coffee he left, Sawayama Haruno finally couldn't help it.

He looked at Riho Morikawa who looked nonchalant and said with a smile, "Is Ms. Morikawa angry?"

"I do not have."

Morikawa Riho rolled her eyes, and after calming down, she said calmly, "I just think you don't take money seriously enough. If you really want to buy that house, you'll have to spend most of your royalties on it, and you'll still have to pay off the mortgage, right?"

She had suppressed all of her over-the-top emotions. After all, she was just helping out here as Sawayama Haruno's editor, and getting too involved would not be good for their relationship.

As an adult, Morikawa Riho naturally has her own way of adjusting herself.

Of course, she didn't think it was all her fault. If it was her fault, she shouldn't have come to help.

She suddenly felt a little regretful and didn't know why she came here so enthusiastically. Anyway, Zeshan Haruno would not listen to her opinions.

"I know what Ms. Morikawa means."

Sawayama Haruno propped up his chin and smiled, "I just acted interested, but I didn't say I wanted to buy it right away. If Mr. Saito contacted the other party and found out that the price was too high, I wouldn't buy it."
