Chapter 52: The Perfect House

Because the branch where Matsuda Yumi worked did not have the keys to that "single-family house," the two first went to the branch in Chiyoda Ward. After getting the keys, they continued by car.

Before long, the taxi slowly stopped on a very quiet street.

Kitahara had originally planned to pay the fare, but Matsuda Yumi beat him to it, saying it "could be reimbursed."

So he let her do as she wished.

After getting out of the car, Kitahara only glanced a few times at the surrounding environment and already fell in love with this place.

It was too quiet here!

Tokyo was a world-class metropolis, densely populated and bustling everywhere. And Chiyoda Ward, as the most core area of Tokyo, was even more so.

To be able to have such a quiet, serene environment on this noisy, crowded land was truly rare.

It was truly like finding quiet within the noise.

Standing here, what reached his ears was no longer the roar of vehicles and the clamor of crowds.

Instead, it was the rustling sound of the breeze brushing through leaves, and the crisp, pleasant chirping of birds. Both sides of the street were shaded by green trees, with luxuriant flowers and plants.

The fresh air was refreshing and invigorating, letting one feel the intimate embrace of nature.

Here, time seemed to slow its pace. Everything became so leisurely and content, as if isolated from the world.

"This place is really nice!"

Matsuda Yumi also let out a sigh of admiration.

It seemed she had the same feeling as Kitahara.

"Senpai, living in a place like this should be helpful for your writing career, right? It’s so quiet here! The Imperial Palace seems to be not far to the north!" Matsuda Yumi mused.

"Is that so? No wonder the environment here is so good. There don’t seem to be any high-rise buildings or commercial areas nearby, only low buildings like this."

Kitahara had not expected that he was actually going to become neighbors with the Emperor.

He wondered if there would be a chance to run into the Empress or a princess or something, then add her as a girlfriend and have something happen...

He would not mind NTR on Japan’s Emperor.

"Yes, it seems buildings like that aren’t allowed here! Senpai, I think the house number is this one. Let’s go, let’s go in and take a look."

Matsuda Yumi pointed at a residence and said to Kitahara. After speaking, she took out the key and went to open the door.

Kitahara looked at the building.

It was a two-story residence with a small yard in front, surrounded by a wooden fence outside.

The wooden fence was one person tall, natural wood color, coated with anti-corrosion varnish on the outside. It still looked very new, so it had probably been maintained.

Looking closer, the yard was bare, with no vegetation, only some crushed stone laid out.

It was unknown whether it was because they had not had time to plant greenery back then, or because the bank later removed it, finding maintenance troublesome.

His line of sight extended forward. The two-story building stood quietly there, exquisite and unique.

Its exterior color scheme was black and brown. The colors matched very well, giving a strong sense of texture and a relaxed, comfortable feeling.

The house still looked very new, as if it had just been completed not long ago. On the slanted roof were waterproof tiles carefully made from natural stone slabs.

These stone slabs, carved by nature, had clearly visible textures, presenting a rustic yet elegant beauty.

Sunlight fell on the tiles, glimmering faintly, as if draping the entire roof in a layer of golden gauze.

Kitahara was very satisfied.

After he and Matsuda Yumi entered the yard, opened the door, and went inside to look around, he was even more satisfied.

The building area of this house was roughly one hundred and fifty square meters. Walking inside, the first thing that greeted the eye was the spacious and bright living room on the first floor.

Next to the living room were the dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and other functional areas in turn.

In the dining room was a beautifully crafted wooden dining table that could seat many people at once. The kitchen had all kinds of modern cookware. The bathroom was exquisitely decorated, and what delighted Kitahara most was an oversized bathtub.

Following the stairs at the corner upward, the second floor had a total of three bedrooms.

It could be felt that each bedroom had been carefully designed, with its own unique style and atmosphere.

Among them, the master bedroom was the most spacious and luxurious, equipped with a comfortable, soft large bed. Of the other two secondary bedrooms, one had been decorated as a children’s room, and one was a guest room.

In addition, the second floor also had a dedicated study, in which a desk that looked very high-quality had already been placed. The rest was empty.

It was worth mentioning that the decoration work of the entire house had already been completed. From the floor to the ceiling, every detail had been handled just right. Moreover, furniture and home appliances were basically all fully equipped.

If one was not picky, one could move in directly with just a bag.

"It’s quite clean here. Our bank probably hired cleaners to come regularly, right? Senpai, this house is so good. Are you really planning to buy it? Do you have that much money?"

Matsuda Yumi somewhat doubted Kitahara’s financial capacity.

In her opinion, this kind of house counted as a luxury residence, the kind lived in by important people, something far beyond her reach.

Although Kitahara Chiki was a writer and his income would be much higher than hers, he was ultimately still just a minor writer with a limited number of works, and he was so young. He would not have accumulated much wealth.

For now, he did not have the ability to buy this kind of luxury home.

Mm, unless he had other sources of income, such as an inheritance or something.

Hearing this, Kitahara said calmly:

"If it’s only one or two hundred million yen, there should be no problem. I can still produce that much."

"Nani? Really? Senpai, you’re actually this rich? In that case, if I can marry you in the future, then I’ll be the mistress of this house? Sugoi, great!"

"..."

"I’m joking, Senpai. Don’t look at me like that. I know we’ve only just started dating, and marriage is still very far away. But I can fantasize a little first, right?"

"Yumi-chan, please rest assured. In the future, you should be able to live here!"
