"A-Are we going to that place?"
"Yes."
"R-Really?"
"Yes."
Nifuji looked at Mayuri and Eli, then asked, "Do you want it to be somewhere else?"
"NO, PLEASE! PLEASE LET US GO TO THOSE PLACES, HIROTAKA-SAMA!" 2x
"Good, stay close."
"Yeah~!" 2x
Even without his words, the two of them stuck to him like plaster, so annoyingly, yet wouldn't get away.
Fortunately, while Nifuji was a little tired, they were beautiful and young compared to him, so he just accepted them, feeling comfortable with the closeness that came from their womanly body.
Still, their clinginess stemmed from the choice of their new home's location.
Considering their situation, Nifuji's choice was based on the location that balanced luxury, extreme security, and access to subculture hubs (like Akihabara or Ikebukuro) without being in the middle of the noise.
Nifuji also had no budget, since the more he spent his money on his women, the better it was for his equity firm, right?
The more money he had, the more investment that he could make, so as his budget was nonexistent, he wanted to have space for a massive cosplay wardrobe, perhaps a home studio for photoshoots, and absolute soundproofing/privacy.
Yes, Mayuri and Eli might have stopped doing cosplay, but when they were at home, and when they were with him, they often did cosplay during their "little fun," so Nifuji didn't mind giving them a little surprise when all of them could have a moment of relaxation after their hard work.
So, where would it be?
There were three choices he had discussed with them: Shoto in Shibuya Ward, Moto-Azabu in Minato Ward, and either Toranomon Hills or Roppongi Hills (Residential), both in Minato Ward.
Yup, those three were choices, and what made him choose those areas instead of anywhere else?
First, let's talk about Toranomon Hills (Roppongi Hills Residential) in Minato Ward.
If one prefers a high-rise view over a house, this is the choice. These are the residences where Japan's top celebrities and CEOs live.
Why does it fit them?
1. Security: Airport-level security. Multiple checkpoints, non-contact key entry, and 24/7 bilingual concierge. Fans, paparazzi, and many strange people cannot get anywhere near the front door.
2. Convenience: These complexes are "cities within cities." They have spas, gyms, and supermarkets inside the building. Mayuri, who works hard, would appreciate the on-site spa.
3. Aesthetics: The night view of Tokyo Tower would be the perfect romantic backdrop for dating both of them.
So, would they choose this place?
Still, there were two more places. It was better for them not to be in a hurry, or, if they wanted to, he could just buy them all, but he knew that if he did, they would all become too crazy.
Regardless, hearing his words, they wondered about the advantages of the other two places.
"What about the Moto-Azabu in Minato Ward?
"As it is located near Roppongi but tucked away on a hill, Moto-Azabu is home to many embassies. It is incredibly safe, international, and silent."
Why does it fit them?
1. Security: This area has the highest concentration of police presence due to the embassies. It is arguably the safest place in Tokyo.
2. Housing Type: He would likely buy a low-rise luxury apartment (often called "Domus" or similar high-end brands). These buildings usually have fewer than 20 units, a concierge service, and elevators that open directly into your penthouse.
3. Lifestyle: It is sophisticated. Eli, accustomed to the high life, would feel right at home among the nearby high-end cafes and boutiques.
"It must be expensive, right?" Mayuri asked with worry despite her eagerness.
"It is." Nifuji nodded. "But that's normal, right? Where does he go, where do the 1% of the population in this country live, or is it 0.1%?"
"...." Mayuri.
Unlike Eli, who had no worries, as she knew well about Nifuji's works, and her background was also quite okay, as she came from a wealthy family, but Mayuri was different, especially when her last place, when she hadn't met Nifuji, was still in that dilapidated apartment, which was about 50 years old.
It was cramped, old, and might even be destroyed in the future, yet it was so cheap and fit for her, whose money was taken for the student loan and her gacha hobby.
Fortunately, her student loan was taken care of by Nifuji and he also gave her pocket money for a gacha, but instead of spending it on her gacha, she had always used her money instead and put all of the money given by Nifuji on other savings, so when the situation arose when she needed that money, she could be prepared, yet the more she tried to think about how much money he had, the more she felt at a loss, wondering how she could unlock a glitch that made him able to gain a lot of money, as much as possible, like how one opens a faucet of water.
And, because of that—
"Did you commit a crime?"
"...."
Nifuji's lips twitched, then he said, "Being a criminal won't give you such money, and it is impossible to spend it. My source of money is legitimate, and if I have to say..." He thought for a bit about how to explain his ability.
"If you have to say...?"
"Did you gain a system or cheat-like ability?"
"..."
Nifuji glanced at Mayuri, who suddenly said those strange words, but he sighed inwardly and said, "I am just managing a finance, a consultant."
"Consultant!" 2x
Mayuri and Eli narrowed their eyes, as their expressions became conflicted.
"What's wrong? Why did you two look at me like that?" Nifuji suddenly felt that they had thought strange things again.
"Y-You are not selling your body, right?"
With Nifuji's body, face, and skill in that area, he could become a high-end professional gigolo, earning so much money from a wealthy, mature lady, right?
"...."
Nifuji sighed and said, "If I do that, I won't be able to see the two of you and be locked up already."
"...." Eli and Mayuri.
Women knew other women better.
They knew that once women had fallen, they had become like an unstoppable force that couldn't be stopped, like a storm; they wanted to lock the man that they loved, so they could be with him all the time.
Frankly, if they had money, they wanted to turn him into a household husband where he had no need to leave the place and stayed with them inside the room forever and ever.
"..." Nifuji.
"My source of money is legitimate, and the property is also a good investment, so it works well with my equity firm."
"...you are going to change your job into an equity firm, Senpai?"
"No, I will keep both."
"That's great!"
The image of the investment had always been unstable and unable to give them peace of mind, but if he worked at the company, it still brought them relief.
Only—
"Or rather, my equity firm holds the shares of Gakken, so even if someone wants to fire me, they can't."
"....." Mayuri and Eli.
It seemed... it was better for him to stay at the equity firm instead, right?
