Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

   Chapter 512

the other side.

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

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

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

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

  Like most one-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 still beautiful and elegant, and there is no paint peeling like the old house, which is much better than someone's old apartment.

   And 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 feels pretty good.

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

   For Tokyo, where the population density remains high, it is great to have such a safe distance.

   He nodded with satisfaction, turned his eyes 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 to find a larger space. The practical area of ​​this house is about 145 square meters~"

   Hasumi Kanako smiled and took out a bunch of keys from her backpack, and asked, "Anyway, the formalities have been completed, do you want to go in and take a look?"

"it is good."

   Kato Yusuke answered without hesitation, and immediately followed him 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 entrance space for people to change shoes, there is nothing to say here.

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

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

  The air was filled with a faint smell of detergent, and at the same time, the faint sound of the fresh air system could be heard.

   I don’t know what the original owner planned to use here, but the ceiling is a chandelier with slide rails.

   There are three tracks in total, and you can freely supplement and increase or decrease lamps according to your own needs, which is very convenient.

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

   is like a coffee shop with not many customers, but it is very comfortable and comfortable to stay, which makes people feel happy.

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

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

   "The art department...is it used by Sawamura-san?" Hasumi Kanoko asked.

   "I should also work here. Considering the workload, in addition to Eiri, at least one or two more painters will have to be recruited."

   "In this case, we must 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.

   There is also a multi-function printer, so I will trouble you. "

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

"there is none left."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head with a smile, and 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 set it up as a conference room, plus a projector and stereo, so it's convenient for presentations."

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

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

   "Hmm~ what about the rest of the kitchen and storage room?"

   "I have no idea about the kitchen. The storage room is used as a reference room, because there will be a lot of documents and materials, and several sets of storage racks can be arranged."

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

"it is good."

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

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

   After seeing every room, Yusuke Kato started to make arrangements while thinking.

   "...Take the larger room as a common room, and you and Shiyu-senpai will share an office in the remaining two rooms, is that okay?"

   "Um...is this okay?"

  Luanjian Kanako asked hesitantly, "I think otherwise I'd better work from home. You can use my office by yourself. You can just call me over if you have any business..."

   Hearing this, Yusuke Kato frowned suspiciously, 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 trouble." Hasumi Kanoko said, looking away, refusing to look directly at his face.

   However, Kato Yusuke still managed to capture the uneasiness that flashed in her eyes.

   So he lowered his voice a little and said in a joking tone:

   "I'll be in trouble if Xiao Jianao is not around, so you have to stay. After all, I need you to sit here, acting president."

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

   "Come again if you need to... What are you talking about? Xiao Jiano is not my canary, don't you believe me?"

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

   Hasumi Kanoko's eyes wandered around for a while, and finally looked down at his toes and said hesitantly:

   "...Who told me that I was the one who stole the food after all. If we don't meet, we can be at peace with each other, 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 warmly in her ear:

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

"…Well…"

   Hasumi Kanoko squinted her eyes comfortably, put her chin on his shoulder, enjoyed the moment when he hugged her tightly, and then murmured:

   "It doesn't really matter, as long as it's you... I'm fine if I'm a canary..."

   wrapped his 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 shampoo, which was given to me by Megumi."

"Oh…"

   Ignoring the slightly appetizing response in his ears, Kato Yusuke asked earnestly, "Tell me honestly, are you worried about Shiyu-senpai's reaction?"

   "Hmm—this one... Should I say worried or embarrassed... Well, maybe a little bit of both."

   Hasumi Kanoko said while relying on his entire body weight on him, and then sighed heavily in distress.

   "...Well, I admit that I'm a little timid. And not only Kasumigaoka-san, but Sawamura-san and Kato-san too.

   Obviously I was a teacher who was loved by them yesterday, but today I have become a rude thief, I really don’t know what they will think of me…”

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

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

   With the slowly declining mood and tone, Hasumi Kanoko is also deliberately sliding down slowly, as if to hang on him.

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

   In order to prevent her from falling, Kato Yusuke simply bent his knees and squatted down, supported her thighs with his arms, and lifted her up hard.

   Even if the other party shouted "Yah!", he ignored it, and didn't stop until he held him a head above him.

   "Ka, Kato-san...!"

  Lian sees Kanako nervously supporting his shoulders, looking at a loss, "What are you doing? Let me down quickly..."

   "Look, you're here again."

"what…?"

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

   Kato Yusuke looked up at her with a half-smile, "Also, Kana kept saying that she was a thief, but she was so greedy every time, isn't it very contradictory?"

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

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

  “—!”

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

  Because she couldn't hide her embarrassment, she abruptly turned her head aside, and finally glared back, not to be outdone.

   "I'm not very gluttonous, and I'm not enjoying it." She deliberately raised her face and said in a pretentious manner.

   After a long while, he added another sentence in a erratic voice.

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

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile, the corners of his mouth relaxed involuntarily, he just felt that this person's little awkwardness was like an adolescent girl, which was really endearing.

   He couldn't help but hug him a little tighter, and said slowly, "Listen to me, Xiao Jianai."

   "Huh... what are you talking about...?"

   "I won't say superficial lines like "it's okay" to you about things around me, but I'll still say...

  I will try my best to do what I need to do, and try not to make you feel any grievances, so stay at ease. okay? "

   He looked straight at her, and a small her was reflected in his black pupils, without any extraneous impurities, gentle and firm, wearing all her unease and grievances.

  Lian Jian Kanako was stunned for a moment, her eyes were sparkling, her body softened unconsciously, and finally she lowered her eyes slightly shyly.

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

   Hearing her words, Kato Yusuke couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then he thought about it and said jokingly:

   "Although I don't like Xiao Jia Nai, but I think this is a good place, you did a good job."

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

   "This... why don't you talk about it first, what do you want?"

   "Um—as you just said..."

  Lian Jian Kanako's eyes are watery, red lips are like peaches, and there is a bit of mischief and anticipation in his voice, "Occasionally, I may be a little bit gluttonous~"

   Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, then nodded understandingly, and said, "...So that's the case, then just feed you, right?"

   Faced with this question, the woman smiled shyly, and gave a soft hum in affirmation.

   So, the two of them acted together...

  ◇

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

"Um…"

   The suppressed voice touched both ears, but someone was indifferent.

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

   "What is this? Do you think it's easy to do? Besides, isn't this what you asked for? Well, be more proactive."

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

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

  —Two people eating dessert in a cafe.

   To be precise, the two who had visited the house were eating dessert at the nearby Komeda coffee shop.

   To describe this process simply, Kato Yusuke was feeding Hasumi Kanoko ice cream spoon after spoonful, causing the latter to shiver constantly.

   In front of them is a new product from Komeda Coffee Shop and GODIVA. The top is a brown chocolate ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce, and the bottom is a layer of baked golden shortbread.

   As for what the overall shape of this thing looks like, it’s a bunch of…

   "Ah~ I really can't do it anymore, stop feeding me."

   Hasumi Kanoko said while holding her head, and fell 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 from the moment you were pulled 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.

   As he wondered why this thing was designed to be like shit, he casually changed the subject.

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

   "The rent is 600,000 yen per month, and if other expenses are included, the initial payment is 2,399,000 yen."

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but blurt out, "Is the down payment for this house so cheap?"

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

   In his expectation, the head money for this house should be at least 3 million, but it is strange that the birth is now one-fifth less.

   Seeing him so surprised, Hasumi Kanoko seemed to be in a better mood, and then said a little proudly.

   "Well~ I have negotiated with the real estate agency. They originally quoted 3,011,400 yen, but I have returned it to the present."

   "Can it be so much cheaper??"

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

   Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement.

   Japan's real estate agency companies have a really 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 must-have role when renting a house in Japan.

   After that, Hasumi Kanoko explained it to him like a report.

   It's like how to reduce the intermediary fee, which is usually charged by one month's rent, to the standard of half a month.

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

   In the end, only the necessary expenses such as deposit, key money, first guarantee entrustment fee, peace of mind move-in support fee, and household property insurance fee are kept.

   The other party told him the negotiation process at that time in detail, as if he was answering his doubts, but also as if he was showing his magnanimity.

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

   But only one thing is clear.

   That means Xiao Jia is really thinking of him wholeheartedly, otherwise he wouldn't be helping him save money like this.

   He even felt that he should never be able to find a second agent who could be as desirable 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...
