Chapter 1 Running away from home and meeting a weird landlord
【Single room in the house is recruiting long-term tenants
Location: No. 1883, Kozokumachi, Fuyuki City.
Details: 20 square meters private room, with independent bathroom, water and electricity, and Internet.
Rent: 998 yen (no deposit, no gift money)
Requirements: Female, under 20 years old, can do one thing for the landlord.】
The tram was shaking. A girl with shoulder-length hair sitting on the seat was gently shaking with the tram, but her eyes were half-squinted to read the information on her phone - the content posted on the SUUMO rental website.
The rent is 998 yen. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit suspicious. No, it is very suspicious. You can rent a house for the price of one or two meals of ramen, and there is no deposit or gift money. No one with any brains will think that the content of this announcement is normal.
.
But……
Suzuki Kaoru put down her cell phone and looked at her white sneakers with slightly dim eyes.
She ran away from home.
With less than 5,000 yen, she urgently needs to find a place to live temporarily, instead of sitting under the street lamp like a god-like girl waiting for the blessing of "God", but with only 5,000 yen, let alone find a place to live.
In such a place, even the most basic food is difficult to sustain for several days.
Moreover, she has no way to work without a guarantor, unless she can find an illegal job.
Although he was confused and had nowhere to go, Suzuki Kaoru still didn't want to go home.
"Xiao Xiong Station, Xiao Xiong Station is here..."
The tram horn sounded a gentle tone at this time, bringing Suzuki Kaoru back from his thoughts.
Xiaojuanxiong Station?
Recalling the rental information posted on his phone, Suzuki Kaoru hesitated for a moment, but finally got off the train a second before the door closed.
The air conditioner at the station was a bit cold. Suzuki Kaoru's fingers rubbed the thin school uniform on her arm. She observed her surroundings. The passers-by did not stop. They were walking in a hurry, passing by her one after another.
Everyone seems to have somewhere they want to go.
Not like her.
Suzuki Kaoru looked at her phone again. Finally, as if she wanted to give it a try, she turned and walked towards the exit.
After walking through several streets according to the prompts on the mobile phone map, and then asking an old lady selling snacks, Suzuki Kaoru finally arrived at the destination——
The three-story, one-family house located at the end of the alley looks very big from the outside, and the decoration is very new. At a glance, you will have the feeling of "Ah, this must be a wealthy family".
The word "Shuangye" is written on the house plate, which is undoubtedly the surname of the owner of this house.
After carefully checking the rental information and the information about the house in front of him, Suzuki Kaoru stretched out his finger and pressed the doorbell next to the house number.
Along with the sound of gentle footsteps, the sound of the door lock sounded.
Suzuki Kaoru had thought about what the person behind the door would look like, a gloomy-looking middle-aged uncle, a social delinquent or a vicious man with foul language. But the moment the door opened, Suzuki Kaoru's expression was obviously a little stunned - in front of her eyes
It turned out to be a boy about the same age as myself.
The boy looks like he has black hair and black eyes. He is about 1.8 meters tall. He is wearing white short-sleeves and dark gray beach shorts. He wears slippers. No matter from which angle you look at it, he looks completely casual.
Handsome guy.
Could it be that someone on SUUMO maliciously posted prank information? This may be just an ordinary person's home, and she was fooled by the posted information.
Just when she was thinking this, the boy suddenly smiled and asked:
"Are you here to rent a house?"
"Eh?" Suzuki Kaoru came to his senses and nodded subconsciously.
"Come in." The boy turned around and walked into the house. Suzuki Kaoru hesitated and followed.
The house is very clean, as if it has been cleaned frequently. The original wood-colored wooden floors are paired with white simple furniture - as well as the warm sunlight coming in from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows and the swaying wind chimes hanging high, giving it a very warm feel.
Feel.
After Suzuki Kaoru came in, he was placed on the soft sofa. The boy walked to the refrigerator and asked, "What would you like to drink? I have barley tea, black tea and milk tea here."
"Anything is fine." Suzuki Kaoru said softly.
The boy smiled, took out a bottle of wheat tea and poured two cups.
After taking the barley tea in her hand, Suzuki Kaoru looked at the light orange tea. She knew that she couldn't drink it casually under such special circumstances, but she still took a sip and moistened her almost dry throat.
"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Futaba Makoto, and I am the owner of this house, also the landlord." At this time, the boy introduced himself.
"Suzuki Kaoru." After Suzuki Kaoru finished speaking, he showed a hesitant expression:
"that……"
"Well, please tell me."
"Is the rent really that cheap? And what exactly is it that the rental information says to do something for the landlord?" Suzuki Kaoru asked. At first, she thought that doing something for the landlord might be similar to selling her body in exchange for money.
It’s a matter of residence, but looking at Mr. Futaba Makoto’s appearance, it doesn’t seem like he is.
"Put in physical labor." Faced with the other party's question, Futaba Cheng explained.
"Really, I just said...Eh?!" Suzuki Kaoru's amber stone-like eyes slowly widened.
"Well, let me take you to see the room first. There are quite a few rooms on the second floor." Futaba Cheng stood up and said, but at this time, Suzuki Kaoru stood up suddenly:
"Wait!"
"Do you have any more questions?" Futaba Cheng turned his head.
"Sorry, I can't do it!" Suzuki Kaoru said decisively. She turned around and was about to leave, but maybe she was too anxious to leave. She tripped her right foot on the foot of the sofa, causing her to lose her center of gravity and fall!
"babble?"
At this time, a strong arm stretched out, grabbed Suzuki Kaoru's waist, and then helped her stand firmly.
Before the other party could recover, Futaba Cheng took back his hand and said with a smile:
"Please be careful, but it is true that some girls are not good at doing this kind of thing. If you can't accept it, there is nothing you can do."
Suzuki Kaoru said nothing.
She lowered her head and quickly walked to the entrance and put on her shoes. Before leaving, Suzuki Kaoru made a mosquito-like voice: "Excuse me."
Futaba Cheng replied politely: "Okay, be careful on the road."
"Click."
…
After looking at the closed door for a long time, Futaba Cheng turned his head, and his dark eyes under the black bangs slightly revealed the look of thinking:
"Failed again?"
"Meow~~" At this time, a cat meowed suddenly. Futaba Cheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and a chubby blue short-haired cat came down from upstairs, wagging its tail slightly.
"Are you hungry again? Merlin." Seeing it coming to his feet, Futaba Cheng bent down and picked up the fluffy blue short-haired cat, and rubbed its belly and asked:
"Look at you, you are as skinny as a pig."
"Meow!" Merlin stretched out his little paw and stepped on Futaba Cheng's chest.
Futaba Cheng stared at the cat in his arms, and a translucent window suddenly appeared slowly——
[Creature: Merlin (blue short cat)
Status: Obesity]
"It's really time to lose weight." Futaba Cheng rubbed the cat's head and looked at another window.

"Do you think it's because the price is too low that no one comes?" Futaba Cheng asked the cat in his arms:
“But isn’t it reasonable to pay such a low rent and pay for physical labor in exchange for a place to live?”
