The door opens at the same time information was heard.
Leaving the elevator, the corridor is also vast. The ceiling’s high too. This has an image of a luxury hotel more than a condominium. This floor has only three rooms, 701, 702, and 703
Ah, even though it’s so broad.
Then, my house is in 702
Misuzu speaks shyly.
Nobody is living in rooms 701 and 703
Hmm?
Also, the upper rooms. 802 and 602 are free
What does it mean?
Kakka has done that as a counterterrorism measure
Shou-oneesan said.
Counterterrorism? It means that they can’t put bombs or bugs on the walls surrounding the upper and lower rooms
Minaho-neesan explains in an easy to understand manner.
Eh, Jii-chan rents all four rooms around Misuzu’s room?
I’m surprised.
It’s not rented, this is a condominium, isn’t it?
Minaho-neesan asks Misuzu
Yes, you can only buy the rooms in this condominium
In short.
The four luxury condominium rooms were paid to be just empty. My father didn’t like it, but Grandfather insisted. He can’t stop Grandfather from buying as an individual
Yeah, it’s a problem for a private company’s boss like Jii-chan to send bodyguards to protect his son, a state bureaucrat, but.
There’s no problem to buy rooms on the condominium as his son. Then, I have the key to room 701
Misuzu said.
I’m borrowing it when I practice on my dance
Misuzu takes out a big dimple style key.
Therefore, please take this and rest at room 701
The huge door to 701 opens.
Water and electricity are connected properly. There’s also furniture inside
Misuzu smiles.
It looks like people are living inside if you look at it from the outside just in case
I see, if you look around Misuzu’s room from a telescope outside, it’s strange if it’s empty.
There must be at least some amount of curtains and furniture. The lights of the room is turned on randomly using timers
Going that far.
No, Jii-chan suspects Kouzuki Shigeaki. It’s natural for him to go that far. I’m sorry, but since my father is absent, I can’t let Onee-sama go to his house
Misuzu’s father discerns public and private people.
No, we don’t mind not using room 701. It’s a rule for Kouzuki security service’s guards to wait in the hallway
Shou-oneesan said.
Look, there’s pipe chairs near the wall of the corridor, right? That’s for ours to us. When I’ve accompanied Kakka here before, only chief Yazawa entered the room with Kakka, Choumoto-san and I waited in the hallway. We sat down that cair
She speaks nostalgically.
Do you plan on drinking alcohol in the hallway?
I ask.
That’s right. This condominium has an air conditioner in the corridor, I also know that there are no other residents on this floor. We can drink here with nothing but a glass
Oh, that’s what they plan.
No, please use room 701
Misuzu insists.
Everyone’s my Onee-sama, so I feel sorry to have you wait in the hallway. Besides, Grandfather owns room 701, and I’m entrusted with the management of it, so there’s no problem even if everyone uses that room But
Shou-oneesan’s at a loss.
Then we’ll use it
Minaho-neesan tells Shou-oneesan
If we drink in the hallway, these children won’t feel at ease
She smiles at Misuzu.
I’d like some glass, decanter, and ice too. Can we have those from Misuzu-san’s house?
Minaho-neesan tells Misuzu.
Yes, I’ll prepare it right away
She answers with a smile.
Chapter 496
Chapter 496. Tokyo Tower Can you see it from this side?
Come in
Misuzu opens the door to her condo and invites us inside with a smile.
She flipped the light switch inside the apartment on. Excuse me
I enter timidly.
what? The entry hall is too spacious. At standard size, you have to take off shoes one by one. In this entry hall, even if five people take off their shoes at the same time, it won’t feel cramped. Also, the ceiling’s high and well-lit. Misuzu, what’s this room?
There’s a small room next to the entry hall.
That’s storage for my shoes. Also, ski-equipment and things I don’t usually use are put in there too
Misuzu replied.
Speaking of which, there’s no shoebox at the entry hall. Both my parents have a lot of opportunities to go to parties, so my shoes increase all the time
Hmm.
Why do opportunities to go to a party increases your shoe count? Is it not okay to wear the same shoes every time? Do you buy new shoes every party? I don’t get that part, anyway. She has so much shoes that it won’t fit in an ordinary shoebox. There’s only a few of my shoes in there
No, wait. You mean you have 10 to 20 pairs there, right?
By the way, I only have three pairs of shoes, the usual sneakers, school shoes, and a recently received leather boots. Hahaha, that’s funny
Nei smiles wryly.
She’s seen rich men come to the mansion through the surveillance cameras, but. It’s her first time setting foot on a rich’s living place. Our mansion also has costume room and shoe room, but those were for work
Misuzu’s house is only for her and her parents, three persons.
That’s a beautiful painting. Chagall
At that time, Ruriko’s looking up the oil painting hung at the wall in the entry hall.
Somehow, it’s super blue, people are looking fluffy. A strange painting. Yes, that’s one of the paintings Grandfather gave us when we moved to this condo
Misuzu smiles.
Jii-chan’s moving gift is the real deal. Mother likes Chagall
What’s Chagall?
I feel like it’ll be another long talk, so I didn’t ask. Come in everyone
Misuzu lines up slippers for her guests quickly.
Usually, when you come to this condo, you’d know where’s what. Ah, yeah
I get up the room and wear slippers.
Huh, something smells good. It’s not an air freshener, are they using a high-class perfume or something? Then, I’m coming in too!
Nei goes up the room timidly too.
This is Misuzu’s home, Nei’s away. Huh, Ruriko?
I turn around.
Ruriko’s squatting down and arranging Nei and my slippers. Ruriko’s gestures at this times are beautiful. Ah, thanks Ruriko
I speak thanks. Ruriko looks at me blankly.
Onii-sama, why do you say that? No, you’re fixing up my shoes But, this is something Ruriko must do
Ruriko tells me with a smile.
I am serving Onii-sama
Err.
Please do not mind me next time. Especially when outside, it’s embarrassing to have others see one thanking the follower
Ruriko.
Mother also takes off Father’s clothes and fixes his clothes, but father never thanked mother
Ruriko’s father is already dead.
No, but
Telling me not to give thanks when people do something for me.
In front of others, saying it is just embarrassing. I can tell what Onii-sama’s thinking either way
Ruriko blushes.
Oh, that’s the rule of Kouzuki house?
Nei speaks with a face as if she swallowed a bitter bug.
Yo-chan, Ruriko-says that’s what she wants. Why not do just that? As for me, Yo-chan can tell me what comes to your mind without roundabouts!
Err.
It’s not a rule of the Kouzuki house. Ruriko’s father is just inclined towards men dominating women
Misuzu said.
Oh, Kouzuki Shigeaki is a man who won’t say thanks to his wife even if she does something for him. My father thanks mother all the time. However, Father is what you’d call a heretic when it comes to a man of Kouzuki clan
