Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 512
the other side.

After school, Yusuke Kato came to Hoya in Higashi Fushimi with Kanoko Hasumi.

As for why they came here, it was to see the house, which was the new location of the studio.

Because of its remote location, it is different from the high-rise buildings in the city center, but there are many single-family buildings, so it has a very strong residential atmosphere.

It was against this background that the two of them arrived at the destination of the trip smoothly - it was a two-story bright gray building.

Like most single-family buildings, there is a small yard and parking space in front of the small building, and the space is about one and a half cars.

The overall appearance of the house is quite elegant, and there is no paint peeling like that of the old house. This alone is much better than someone's old apartment.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is also very quiet, whether it is used for office or living, it does not appear obtrusive.

At first glance, the house doesn't look too bad.

Kato Yusuke looked around and found that the distance between each house is relatively loose, at least there is no such situation that you can touch the next door by opening the window.

For Tokyo, which has a high population density, it is great to have such a safe distance.

He nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to the woman beside him, and said, "Well... this house looks pretty good from the outside, how big is it?"

"According to your request, I tried my best to find a larger space. The practical area of ​​this house is about 145 square meters~"

Kanoko Hasami smiled and took out a bunch of keys from her backpack, and asked, "Anyway, all the procedures have been completed, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"it is good."

Kato Yusuke answered without hesitation, and immediately followed the other party up the small steps, then opened the door and walked in.

Like all houses, the first thing that appears in front of you is the porch space for people to change shoes. There is nothing to say here.

Under the guidance of Kanoko Hasumi who was a little excited, the two who had changed their shoes began to visit the inside of the house.

The first thing you come to is the living room next to the entrance, and what you see is a transparent and spacious rectangular space.

There is a faint smell of detergent in the air, and at the same time, the faint sound of the fresh air system can be heard.

I don't know what the original owner planned to use this place for, but the chandelier with sliding rails is installed on the ceiling.

There are a total of three such tracks, and it is very convenient to supplement and increase or decrease lamps and lanterns according to one's own needs.

The wooden floor, which is close to brownish red, looks very textured, and it slightly reflects the luster under the warm yellow light, but it does not make people feel dazzling, but has a style.

It is like a coffee shop where there are not many customers, but it is very comfortable and comfortable to stay in, which makes people feel happy.

After observing the layout of the living room, Kato Yusuke quickly decided on its purpose.

"This side will be used as the office area of ​​the art department. You can add a few more lights on the slide rails, and you can adjust it according to your personal preferences."

"The art department...is Sawamura-san using it?" Hasami Kanoko asked.

"I should also work here. Considering the workload, besides Ying Lili, at least one or two more painters have to be recruited."

"In this case, it is necessary to prepare suitable tables and chairs. Is there a total of four people in the art department?"

"Well, I have seen tables and chairs suitable for this place on the Internet before, and I will send them to you later.

In addition to office desks and chairs, electronic equipment such as digital screens, monitors, desktop computers and tablet computers should also be purchased according to the number of people.

In addition, there is also a multi-function printer. I will trouble you then. "

"Follow me~ Anyway, I've written it all down, is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

Kato Yusuke shook his head with a smile, Hasumi Kanoko dragged him to the next room.

"How is this room?"

"Well... the lighting here is not good, but it's still spacious. Let's arrange it as a meeting room, plus a projector and sound system, so it's convenient for presentations."

"Okay, so what do you want to do in the smaller empty room next door?"

"There's plenty of light over there. Let's use it as the office of the program department. It's equipped with two sets of desks and chairs and desktop computers."

"Well, what about the rest of the kitchen and storage room?"

"I don't have any ideas about the kitchen. The storage room will be used as a reference room, because there will be a lot of documents and materials, and several sets of storage shelves can be equipped."

"Understood, let's go to the second floor next?"

"it is good."

Go up the stairs from the entrance to the second floor.

In addition to the bathroom, there are a total of three rooms on this floor.

After looking at each room, Kato Yusuke began to make arrangements while thinking about it.

"...Treat the larger room as a common room, and the remaining two rooms are an office for you and Shiba-senpai. Is that okay?"

"Hmm... is this okay?"

Kanoko Hasami asked hesitantly: "I think otherwise, I'd better work at home. You can use my office by yourself. Just call me over if you have something to do..."

Kato Yusuke frowned suspiciously when he heard this, looked at her face for a moment, and then asked thoughtfully:

"Xiao Jia is you, don't you want to meet everyone...?"

"...I just don't want to cause you any trouble." Kanoko Renjian said without looking away, refusing to look directly into his face.

However, Yusuke Kato managed to catch the uneasy flash of anxiety in her eyes.

So he lowered his voice slightly and said jokingly:

"I will be in trouble if Xiao Jia is not here, so you have to stay. After all, I need you to sit here, acting president."

"Well, I can come back when you need..."

"Come here again if necessary... What are you talking about? Xiao Jianao is not my canary, don't you believe me?"

"It's nothing to do with that, it's just..."

Kanoko Hasumi's eyes moved around for a while, and finally looked down at her toes, and said falteringly:
"...Who told me that I was the one who stole the food after all. If we don't meet each other, we can live in peace, but once we meet..."

Although the following words were not finished, Kato Yusuke already understood what she wanted to express, and then gently pulled her into his arms, and said softly in her ear:

"Xiao Jia, you don't have to worry about these problems..."

"……Well……"

Hasumi Kanoko narrowed her eyes comfortably, put her chin on his shoulder, enjoyed the moment when he hugged her tightly, and then murmured:
"Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as it's you...it doesn't matter if I'm a canary..."

As she spoke, she put her arms around his neck and sniffed his breath greedily.

"...You smell so good, did you change the brand of shampoo?"

"Well, I changed to Muji's shampoo, which was given to me by Hui."

"Oh……"

Ignoring the slightly appetizing response, Kato Yusuke asked seriously: "Tell me honestly, are you worried about Shiwa-senpai's reaction?"

"Hmm—well...worried or embarrassed...well, maybe a little bit of both."

Hasumi Kanoko leaned on him with all her weight as she spoke, and then sighed heavily in distress.

"...Okay, I admit that I'm just a little timid. And not only Kasumigaoka-san, but also Sawamura-san and Kato Megumi.

Obviously I was a teacher who was loved by them yesterday, but today I became a rude thief, I really don't know what they will think of me..."

"After the formalities are completed, you will no longer be a teacher."

"That's what I said, but some things can't be changed so easily..."

With the mood and tone of voice falling slowly, Kanoko Hasumi also deliberately slid down slowly, as if she wanted to hang on him.

In the faint rubbing sound of clothes, one can clearly perceive the unique softness and fragrance of women.

In order not to let her fall, Kato Yusuke simply squatted down on his knees, supported her thighs with his arms, and lifted her up vigorously.

Even if the other party yelled "Yeah!", he ignored it and didn't stop until he hugged it until he was more than a head taller than himself.

"Ka, Kato-san...!"

Kanoko Hasumi supported his shoulders nervously, with a look of bewilderment, "What are you doing? Put me down quickly..."

"Look, here you are again."

"what……?"

"'You', 'Kato-kun', 'Kato-san'... There are many names, but the last one is your favorite. "

Kato Yusuke looked up at her with a half-smile, "And Kano keeps saying that she is a thief, but she is so greedy every time, isn't it very contradictory?"

"What... what - I don't, I'm so greedy..."

"Well, your current expression is not convincing at all, so you really enjoy it, right? Teacher."

"—!"

Kanoko Hasumi's body stiffened involuntarily, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt her cheeks were slightly hot.

Because she couldn't hide her embarrassment, she suddenly turned her head aside, and finally stared back unwillingly.

"I'm not very greedy, and I'm not enjoying it." She deliberately put on a straight face and said pretendingly.

After a while, another sentence was added in an erratic voice.

"At most... I just like you, and you just happen to be... that's all."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help smiling, and the corners of his mouth relaxed unconsciously. He just felt that this person's little awkwardness was like an adolescent girl, which was really cute.

He couldn't help but hugged the other party a little tighter, and said slowly: "Listen to me carefully, Xiao Jianao."

"Eh... what are you going to say...?"

"I won't tell you superficial lines like "it's okay" about the things around me, but I will say...

I will try my best to do what I have to do, and try not to let you suffer any grievances, so stay at ease.okay? "

He looked over straight, and the black pupils reflected a small her, without any extraneous impurities, gentle and firm piercing through all her uneasiness and grievance.

Kanoko Renjian was slightly stunned, her eyes sparkled, her body softened unconsciously, and finally she lowered her eyes a little shyly.

"...Compared to that, you haven't said your thoughts yet. Are you satisfied with the house I'm looking for? Does it suit you?"

Hearing her words, Kato Yusuke couldn't help being stunned for a while, then he had a thought and joked:
"Although it doesn't suit me as much as Xiao Jianai, I think this is a good place, and you have done a good job."

"...So, what reward do you plan to give me?" The woman narrowed her eyes slightly like a coquettish kitten.

"This... why don't you tell me first, what do you want?"

"Well—like you just said..."

Hasami Kanoko's eyes are rippling, her red lips are like peaches, and there is a bit of naughtiness and anticipation in her voice, "Occasionally, I may be a little bit greedy~"

Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, then nodded in understanding, and said, "...So that's the case, so it's fine as long as you are fed?"

Faced with this question, the woman smiled shyly, and gave a slight hum to express her affirmation.

So, the two acted together...

◇

Some distance from the house, in a certain coffee shop.

"Um……"

A suppressed voice caressed his ears, but someone was indifferent.

"Hey, wait a minute. Please, take a break."

"What's that? Do you think it's so easy? Besides, didn't you ask for it yourself? Here, take the initiative."

Kanoko Hasumi's body trembled slightly, and gasped for air with a "hiss~".

"But... if you keep being so arrogant, I can't take it anymore... It's too cold, eh!"

——Two people are eating dessert in a cafe.

To be precise, after visiting the house, the two were eating dessert at the nearby Komeda coffee shop.

To briefly describe this process, Kato Yusuke is feeding Kano Renmi ice cream spoonful after spoonful, causing the latter to tremble non-stop.

In front of them is a new product from the cooperation between Komeda Coffee Shop and GODIVA. It is a brown chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce on top, and a layer of golden shortbread underneath.

As for what the overall shape of this thing looks like, it is a lump...

"Ah~ I really can't do it anymore, don't feed me anymore."

Hasumi Kanoko held her head and said, lying down on the table.

"What, it's really useless, didn't you tell me to feed you?"

"I'm so stupid... I should have realized it from the moment you pulled me out of the studio, you didn't even want to give it to me!"

Kato Yusuke smiled noncommittally, and scooped a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth with the metal spoon in his hand.

While wondering why this thing should be designed to be like poop, he changed the subject nonchalantly.

"By the way, how much is the rent for this newly rented house?"

"The rent is 60 yen per month. If other expenses are included, the head money costs a total of 239 yen."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being taken aback, and blurted out: "Is the head money of this house so cheap?"

This is not because he is making a fuss, but the number quoted by the other party is far lower than the market price.

In his prediction, the head bonus of this house should be at least 300 million, but now it is less than one-fifth, which is really strange.

Seeing him so surprised, Kanoko Hasumi seemed to feel a little better, and then spoke with a little pride.

"Well~ I have negotiated with the real estate agency, and their original quotation was 301 yen, and I have returned it to this point."

"Can it be so much cheaper??"

"This is because you don't know much about it~ In fact, the fees given by intermediary companies are often inflated. They will deliberately list some complicated charging items. If you are not careful, you will be easily recruited."

Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement.

Japan's real estate agencies do have a bad reputation, but if you want to rent a house, you can't do without them.

These companies are not only intermediaries, but also assume the role of guarantors, which is also a necessary role when renting a house in Japan.

After that, Kanoko Hasami began to explain it to him as if she were giving a report.

For example, how to reduce the agency fee, which is usually charged based on one month's rent, to half a month's standard.

And how to avoid fees such as key replacement fees, house cleaning fees, and repair sharing fees, which the intermediary company very much hopes to be paid by the lessee, but in fact the lessee is not obliged to pay at all.

In the end, only the necessary expenses such as the deposit, key money, initial guarantee commission fee, peace of mind support fund, and home insurance premiums were retained.

The other party described to him the negotiation process at that time in detail, as if answering his doubts for him, and as if expressing his frankness.

Kato Yusuke listened to this silently, his inner emotions were inexplicable.

But only one thing is clear.

That means that Xiao Jia Nai is really thinking of him wholeheartedly, otherwise she wouldn't help him save money like this.

He even felt that he would never be able to find another agent who was as satisfactory as the other party.

At this moment, he faintly felt the sense of responsibility on his shoulders, and it seemed to be a little heavier...
