"I heard it!" Koizumi Aina's voice came over from the kitchen counter.

"It's my dream to buy a house here." Huangzi picked up a piece of toast.

"dream?"

"that time......"

"Wait, when?" Toru Watanabe asked.

The words were interrupted, and Koko smacked her mouth in dissatisfaction: "When I first came to Tokyo."

"You continue."

"At that time, the three of us lived in a shabby apartment in Suginami Ward and spent a lot of time on the train every day."

Watanabe Toru thought about it, "Suginami Ward" and "Shinjuku Ward" where Kamikawa is located are separated by "Nakano Ward", so it does take a lot of time to commute to work every day.

However, in order to save money, the affordable housing there is a good choice.

"Every time the train passed by the "Shinano-cho" station, and I heard the conductor shouting on the radio, "Next stop, Shinano-cho", I made up my mind to buy a high-end apartment here in the future. It was like being told

It’s like it’s been cursed.”

"Why must it be Shinano Town?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.

"How much money can a person earn in his lifetime?" Huangzi suddenly asked.

Toru Watanabe has no information about this, but he has read a lot of books. Those novelists know a little bit about everything in order to write books.

There is this original passage in San Qiu's novel "Three Days of Happiness":

"It was mentioned in a book I read before that the lifetime salary of an office worker is about 200 million to 300 million yen, so everyone's life is probably worth this price."

This book is published by Kadokawa's publishing house and is quite famous, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

"Two to three hundred million yen." He answered.

"Then, among those who can earn 200 million to 300 million yen in their lifetime, how many of them can afford an apartment in Shinanomachi?"

"Teacher Koizumi, I don't know how to solve this question." Toru Watanabe asked toward the kitchen counter.

"Ignore her," Teacher Koizumi responded, "When it comes to buying a house, she doesn't have a clear mind."

Akiko ignored Koizumi Aina and continued to explain her ideals to Watanabe Toru.

"Me," she pointed at herself, "Aona and Miyuki Miyazaki, we don't have to eat or drink, we don't spend a penny, the three of us buy together, and it takes ten years to buy one set."

After speaking, she added with satisfaction: "This is a great dream."

Looking at Akiko who was proud and immersed in her dreams, Toru Watanabe couldn't help but think of his father.

When he was young, he climbed Mount Fuji on a motorcycle. Did he also have a great dream?

But rather than dreams, and the Yamaha motorcycle that climbed Mount Fuji with him, he chose the Honda Coyote that delivered goods, and he chose family.

"What you regard as a treasure is a private matter." He remembered Kiyono Rin's words.

"If you really decide to buy, haven't you considered taking out a loan?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"I'm going to ask the bank recently." Koizumi Aina came over and handed him the hot milk. "If we can get a 0 down payment or a 10% low-interest housing loan, we will decide to buy it."

"A house of 150 million yen, with the status of three of us teachers... Unless every student in Qingnai is the best in the country." Miyazaki Miyuki lazily ate strawberries with a knife and fork, "Young man

, it’s not easy being an adult.”

"I believe in the teachers." Toru Watanabe encouraged.

"Ah——, Watanabe, when will you marry our Qingna! I don't want to work hard or save money, I just want to eat barbecue every day! Buy the latest clothes and mobile phones!" Akiko wailed.

Koizumi Aina finished wiping her hands and sat down.

"Don't listen to Huangzi's nonsense. She is the most active in saving money among the three of us." She picked up her chopsticks.

"I moved here for three months and got used to it." Toru Watanabe didn't mind.

"Watching the deposits increase is the only way to wash away my work fatigue." Huangzi picked up a small tomato with a knife and fork.

She looked at it affectionately, just like looking at her own savings, which were small but growing slowly every month.

Watanabe Toru took a bite of the omelette and said in admiration:

"Teacher Koizumi, the omelette is getting better and better."

"Really?" Koizumi Qingna laughed, "Then eat more."

"Hey, Watanabe, I'm telling you about the house, do you hear me?" Akiko refused to let the two of them off easily.

"I heard it, I'll go buy it this afternoon."

When Toru Watanabe said this, Akiko lost interest.

What she wanted to see was the two people who hurriedly denied it, not the two people who became thick-skinned and didn't take her seriously.

After dinner, Toru Watanabe helped wash the dishes.

Afterwards, he left room 501.

Koizumi Aona planned to wait until Koko and Miyazaki Miyuki were completely sober, then go to Mizuho Bank to ask about the loan, and then drive to Hakone for fun.

Watanabe Toru and Asuka Mai, together with the intermediary, went to the landlord to discuss buying a house.

The agent and the landlord were particularly surprised to see the two.

But as long as you can afford it, it doesn't matter whether the target is a thirty-year-old adult, an eighteen-year-old quasi-college student, a ghost, a monster, or a god.

This apartment had a high rental return rate, but due to the intermediary's bargaining, it was finally sold at a price that was 5% lower than the market price.

Mai will sign and seal tomorrow, and you can get the real estate certificate in about two weeks.

The real estate certificate of the island country is called "Registration Identification Information", a document with a real estate identification number written on it - this is something Toru Watanabe later learned about.

Watanabe Toru transferred another 500 million yen to Asuka Mai.

After that, the two took a taxi to Meguro District, walked around Jiyugaoka, and bought an oboe.

Jiyugaoka is a place where the pace of life is melodious, and the streets, food, desserts and furniture are all exquisite. In short, literary and artistic young people will fall in love with it at first sight.

Maybe there are people like Huangzi who regard living here as a great dream.

The two of them were walking on a path called "Nine-grade Buddha".

The left and right sides of this road are lined with a dazzling array of shops and benches.

There is a cherry blossom tree in the middle of the road. It is spring now, and the pink petals have become the canopy of this commercial street, turning this place into a corridor.

"Would you like some milk tea?" Toru Watanabe looked at the milk tea shop where all the girls were queuing up.

"too many people."

"It doesn't matter." Toru Watanabe said slowly, "We have a lot of time, so take your time."

Tomorrow Mai looked at him: "Yeah."

After waiting in line for fifteen minutes, it was their turn.

Taking milk tea, they walked under the cherry blossom trees and looked at the cabinets around them. If they saw something they liked, they would go in and have a look.

When you are tired from walking, just find a place to sit down, drink a cup of milk tea, and play with the approaching pigeons.

"Senior." Toru Watanabe put one hand on the chair, sitting casually and relaxing his body.

"Huh?" Asuka Mai looked away from the pigeon at her feet.

"When you have your own home, will you suddenly want to live a serious life?"

"With Che, I'm very happy."

"I mean...well, how should I put it?" Watanabe Toru thought for a while, "For example, do you want to cook every day, take a good bath, go to bed early and get up early, and go out to play every week?"

Asuka Mai held milk tea, raised her snow-white neck, and looked at the cherry blossom tree above her head.

She seemed to be carefully tasting her own mood to see if there was anything Toru Watanabe said.

For her, except for her love for Toru Watanabe, all other thoughts are as if they are not there. Without feeling carefully, it is difficult to determine whether they are there or not.

"How about trying baking first?" Toru Watanabe looked at her pretty profile, "Making cakes and baking cookies?"

"Cheh, do you want to eat?" Asuka Mai looked at him.

"Well, I want to eat the food cooked by my senior sister."

Asuka Mai suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Watanabe Toru asked strangely.

"Buy ingredients." She paused and then added, "There are also baking reference books."

"There's no rush." ​​Toru Watanabe pulled her back to the bench, "We'll talk about it after we've rested."

"Um."

Asuka Mai rested her head on Watanabe Tetsu's shoulder.

There is not a single cloud in the sky, and the wind that was slightly chilly in the morning has now become warm.
