012 Birds and Apartments

"Roasted sweet potatoes~Roasted sweet potatoes~"

In this place of Tokyo, there are occasionally hawkers in the alleys. They always push small cars that look good, which can attract a lot of people.

Sometimes I will meet vendors with very personalities (second-year) and some urban legend will even form after a period of time, such as small wine stalls that appear after the rain.

Natsume looked at the stall of roasted sweet potatoes. The familiar fragrance made him want to buy one, but the circle of people around him made him hesitate and paused on the side of the road for a while. Several middle school girls who were buying sweet potatoes thought that this handsome senior boy was looking at them, and they all looked very embarrassed.

Akihabara and Asakusa are not far away, so every time after the school time is over, if it is not a special situation, Natsume Hideki will choose to walk home, which is only more than half an hour away, just to exercise.

However, because of this, he discovered many things that he found interesting to me, such as the abandoned wooden houses floating on the river, and the roadside was not Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva but the salted egg superman... Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Hatsune Mori Shrine, which was hidden in the cracks in the house and attic - well, he admitted that he was attracted by the first two words at the beginning.

For example, under the viaduct in front of you.

"Come on, come on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on

In the end, Hideki Natsume, who had not bought sweet potatoes, came to his favorite "blood recovery point". He sat on a chair placed on the roadside to rest, leaned forward, spread his palms and stretched out forward, and his palms were small seeds of plants in his palms, and a strange sound was made in his mouth.

A few birds, perhaps sparrows or other breeds, were twisting their bodies that were so round that they were tilting their heads and observing them. After observing for a while, they flew to him and pecked his pants, or flew to his palm to eat some food.

The cute look of the macho man who absolutely could not refuse made Natsume Hideki couldn't help but make a hehe sound.

"Yah... Xiao Xiushu really likes cute little animals..." Grandma Yamada, who lives under the bridge piers, looked at this scene from the small window, squinted her eyes and sighed.

"Because it's really cute..." Natsume Hideki carefully stroked the bird's feathers, trying to be as gentle as possible, for fear of scaring these little things away.

Since he discovered these little guys, Natsume has often come to this place. As he goes back and forth, he becomes familiar with the Yamada Grandma who lives here.

Grandma Yamada's house is located on the bridge pier - this is quite magical. There is a small window on this side of the road, and there are often people who know that they buy products such as cigarettes from here. By the way, the seeds in Natsume's hands are also bought here.

"Xiaoshu is tall and handsome, and she likes small animals so much. It's just like the old man who passed away in my family. If my mother-in-law is 50 years younger, she will definitely not be able to resist chasing Xiaoshu, hahahaha." Grandma Yamada's laughter was full of energy and her health should be very good.

You should be 30 years younger than 50 years old... You are looking for 16 pairs at the age of 30... Uh... Natsume couldn't help but complain in his heart about his mother-in-law's praise, and he echoed twice.

"How is it? Do you really not consider dating your mother-in-law's granddaughter? If you don't boast about it, that's a great beauty!"

"Ha...but, two days ago, Grandma Yamada said that I am like your proud only grandson. Where are you from now on?" Natsume Hideki replied helplessly.

"Hahaha, is that true? That's the old man is confused."



Not long after, the bird was finished feeding, Natsume Hideki patted her hands and stood up.

"Mother-in-law, I'm almost going back!"

"Oh...wait a moment..."

Grandma Yamada, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, then left the small window. Not long after, she appeared in front of the window and handed over a small package.

"Give it, today's bento, there is a vegetable tempura that my mother-in-law has. The old man liked this the most at that time... Go, be careful on the way."

"Okay mother-in-law, then I'll leave and see you tomorrow!"

Natsume Hideki took the bento and waved to Yamada Grandma.

The bento is homemade and in small quantities, but the packaging used is no different from the disposable shell of a convenience store. The price is very, very cheap. One serving costs only 240 yen, which is cheaper than the half-price bento in a convenience store, but the taste is really good. Since buying the bento from Yamada Grandma, Natsume has been lazy to buy it elsewhere.



Walk along the river bank where the wind is too strong and you will never be able to read books. After passing through a bridge, you will almost reach your destination. That is, the 22-story modern luxury apartment left to him by Hideki Natsume's parents.

"Beep!"

When I opened the access control of the door with an electronic card, I happened to see the administrator Nagaichiro Sato cleaning.

"Mr. Natsume, welcome back."

"Well, I'm back." Natsume nodded to him. Mr. Sato's parents were the administrator of this building during his lifetime. He has been living in the management room on the first floor. He has been working hard for about 10 years and is a very trustworthy person. He is mainly responsible for the sanitation of public areas such as corridors and elevators, the information transmission of building residents, and the production of some forms.

The rooms in this building are quite small, with only two rooms on the first floor. There are not many residents, so it is not much better than the workload.

"This is a message from the Resident Association. You need to have a meeting next week." Sato took out a few pieces of promotional paper from the management room and handed it to Hideki Natsume.

"About strengthening prevention... Ah, this is another..." Natsume glanced at me and returned the documents to Sato. He knew what that was. Anyway, it was just about promoting the prevention of burglary and other things, and he had to do it almost every once in a while. "It's better to be the same, Mr. Sato will join me on my behalf. I still have to go to school, and I really don't have much time."

"I understand!" Sato also knew that things would probably turn out like this, but he still had to talk to Hideki Natsume, after all, the other party was the owner.

"Then I'll go up there without anything."

"Ah... Mr. Natsume, there is another thing. Mr. Chai from Room A on the 17th floor said that it was because of the transfer of work, and he would not continue to rent a house next month." Sato hesitated for a moment and called out to Hideki Natsume.

"So?" Natsume looked at Sato with a little strange. Isn't it common to rent a house and go in and out? It's not a big deal. Usually, such things need not be said, anyway, the report at the end of the month will be reflected.

"That's right. Including Mr. Chajing, there are more than four tenants who have said they have cancelled their rent this month, but there have been no new customers. The vacancy rate of the room has exceeded 30%..."
