576. in the first place

My sister came home suddenly, and Akina Nakamori couldn't stay at home, and it didn't take long for her to say goodbye to her mother.

Driving back the way she came, passing by the imposing three-story building in the station shopping street, she remembered what Chieko had said and glanced out the window.

The three restaurants next to each other are deserted.

If it weren't for what her mother had said, Akina Nakamori would only feel that it was deserted after the lunch rush had passed, but when she thought of her mother's words, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be like this all day?

When the building was built, although the housing prices were not as terrible as they are now, they had already entered the stage of rapid growth after the Plaza Agreement. At that time, in order to build this building, Akina Nakamori also borrowed 100 million yen from the bank.

If the siblings' restaurant fails, the building's source of income is only to collect rent.

Thinking of this, Akina Nakamori was not happy. When she got home, she flipped through her address book, found the phone number of the real estate agency, and called.

If you want to rent out a commercial and residential house, you have to go to a real estate agency.

Supposedly, if you want to know the occupancy rate of the tenants of that house, you should ask your father, who is also the administrator. But with his father's personality, if he is asked about such a thing, he will definitely brag about "full", and if he is questioned, he will be annoyed and angry.

Akina Nakamori knows that she tries to avoid dealing with family members other than her mother.

When the three-story building was built, it was built in the name of "for the family", and the person who usually deals with the real estate agent is also her father, so it was quite a surprise to receive a call from her.

After a brief pleasantry, Akina Nakamori asked the agent about the occupancy rate of the house.

The answer on the other end of the phone was "...... It's about a little over a third. ”

"Really......"

The person who called was Akina Nakamori, and the staff in charge was also very enthusiastic, and after answering the matter, he reminded her, "Akina-san, the land of your house has appreciated again." ”

The staff told her that the building was now valued at 170 million yen, including the land belt buildings.

Akina Nakamori heard this number on the phone and was shocked for a while.

It cost 150 million yen to build the building, but in just a few years, it has appreciated by 20 million yen.

The staff enthusiastically suggested that she might as well take advantage of the good market to give up the house. The estimate is 170 million yen, but if it is actually sold, it will be sold for 160 million yen, and it will still be more than 10 million yen.

She couldn't tell what it was like when she made a phone call.

Judging from what the staff said, this building is not very well run by my father, although it is still "acceptable" compared to the three precarious restaurants.

For such a large building, all kinds of taxes and fees are enough every year.

When building a house, Akina Nakamori didn't have the idea of investment, in order to fulfill the promise she made when she was a child to "buy a big house for her family". But in the end, home is not a warm home.

With a big house, the long-awaited "family stability" has become a mess.

Akina Nakamori has a vague feeling that she built this house with the mood of "making her family happy", but as a result, the existence of this house in turn confirms that this expectation is a false mirror.

She didn't like the house that had placed her beautiful imagination on her at all.

When the staff suggested that she sell the house just now, at that moment, Akina Nakamori was a little moved at first, and the next moment she thought of "can't sell your home".

But can that house also be called home?

Akina Nakamori remembered her mother Chieko, who lived alone in her hometown because she was afraid of noise, and herself who passed by the house but refused to stop to take a look.

Just now, I told my mother a lot about Shinichi Iwahashi. If Mingho hadn't gone back halfway and continued to talk, she would have been unable to help but tell her that Iwahashi Shinichi was coming to dinner tonight.

She is such a person, it's okay not to say it, as soon as the conversation box opens, she doesn't hide anything from her mother.

After the debut of the Ming Sui model, the relationship between the two sisters became more delicate.

Because of the explanation and support of Iwahashi Shinichi next to him, although Akina Nakamori does not agree with her sister's approach, there is no longer the embarrassment of being plotted, whatever this sister does.

However, the debut of Ming Sui's photo model, in the end, it was like throwing a stone into the water, and when he threw it down, although the splash was big with his sister's fame, he immediately sank to the bottom of the water, and there was no news.

The contrast between the sisters is very different, and it is not even good to read the lively tabloid magazines.

Externally, Nakamori Akiho's external photo model debut failed, and internally, her sister Akina did not respond at all to her declaration of war, which made her feel an indescribable sense of frustration and a sense of miscalculation of "Akina has changed".

Such Nakamori Akiho, when facing his sister, although his attitude is still not very good, but he no longer tries to sneer at her as before, but from time to time he casts a speculative and scrutinizing gaze at her.

Because he couldn't guess his sister's new path, Nakamori Akiho stopped acting rashly for a while.

And for Akina Nakamori, her sister's new attitude made her feel even more uncomfortable. Because of Shinichi Iwahashi, although she no longer has the embarrassment of being plotted, she has nothing to say to this sister.

In the end, it became this situation where as soon as Mingsui came, she was ready to leave.

I had expected to stay at my mother's place until the afternoon, but I came back two hours early. Akina Nakamori was idle, tidied up the room for a while, and as soon as it was past four o'clock, she began to count the ingredients and prepare today's dinner.

It was almost five o'clock when Shinichi Iwahashi called and said that he was ready to leave.

Putting down the phone, Akina Nakamori looked at the room to make sure that it was clean and tidy, and then went into the kitchen again, and while continuing to prepare, she carefully paid attention to the doorbell.

There was a small alarm clock in the kitchen to confirm the time of making soup, and at this time, she used it to confirm the time when her boyfriend came.

......

At this time, it's Saturday again, and there is a bit of traffic jam on the road.

Shinichi Iwahashi's residence was not too far from Akina Nakamori's apartment, and even then, it was half an hour's walk. In the middle, he also took a detour to buy a box of dim sum as a gift for his first visit.

The dim sum shop was recommended by the chubby young man Yasu Akimoto, and it is said that it was a Japanese-style dim sum that he and his wife Takai and Mamiko Akimoto both praised.

Iwahashi Shinichi has had a lot of opportunities to deal with chubby young men these days, not only going to Ginza Roppongi with him, changing from "Rico" to "Rika", but also being introduced by him to many good restaurants and the like.

The three hobbies of the chubby young man's life, food, wine, and the night view of Las Vegas, are absolutely guaranteed by the restaurants he has recommended.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't pay much attention to it before, but since he fell in love with a Taopu Star, he began to pay attention to restaurants and cafes with good environment, good taste, and good privacy. Mix with the chubby young man and learn from the experience by the way.

If you want to date without being disturbed, you have to do your homework first. As long as you do your homework, you can date happily every day.

If it weren't for the fact that when Shinichi Iwahashi transferred the dry goods he brought back from Osaka to Akina Nakamori last time, she made an appointment with him in advance to cook and entertain him with the dry goods he sent after returning from a business trip to London, and today would have been his dinner treat.

However, there is still a long way to go.

......

"Excuse me. ”

Entering the entrance, he said to Akina Nakamori who came out to greet him.

Although they are both in love, they are both boyfriend and girlfriend, and the first time I came to my girlfriend's house, Iwahashi Shinichi still had a little bit of a blind date-like restraint. It's funny to think about.

Shin Iwahashi handed over the box in his hand, "Bring some snacks here." ”

It is Japanese-style confectionery. "Just look at the packaging.

Akina Nakamori didn't expect him to buy Japanese-style sweets.

"When I was in Karuizawa, I saw you having a lot of fun eating this confectionery. Shinichi Iwahashi remembers.

Akina Nakamori was the first time to hear him say this, and she was a little embarrassed, as if she had seen a certain part of herself when she didn't know.

She placed the snack box on the shelf and prepared slippers for him.

She was preparing dinner at home, her face was plain, her hair was pulled up casually, and she wore a boyish apron. The waist was too thin, and the straps of the apron dangled long behind her.

As soon as a person moves, the strap moves, like the slender tail of Mickey Mouse.

When Shinichi Iwahashi saw it, he thought it was a little funny.

He changed his shoes and stood in the hallway.

"What are you laughing at?"

Akina Nakamori put her hands behind her back, obviously smiling herself, but she held others accountable.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't answer, and accompanied her to say stupid things, "What are Akina-san laughing at?"

"You speak first. Akina Nakamori returned the topic to him.

She looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, blinking mischievously, looking confident.

Iwahashi Shinichi made her want to laugh when she called her like this, and her heart itched by her blinking eyes. Giving up on the "Is the kitchen okay?" weapon of great killing, he raised his hand in surrender and reached out to her.

As soon as he was held in his arms, Akina Nakamori took the opportunity to circle his waist.

"Welcome back. Iwahashi Shinichi "said first".

Akina Nakamori won a big victory, satisfied, like a crooked child, put her head against his shoulder, her head dangled, and she was coquettish enough, so she replied: "I'm back~"

After speaking, he raised his head in his arms and pouted.

......

There is a faint aroma of soup wafting over here.

Iwahashi snorted, and was about to hand over the big killer weapon "Is it okay to leave the kitchen alone?" to her, but Akina Nakamori, who was in his arms, first let go of her arm, raised her head, and cast a puzzled look at him.

"What's wrong?"

"What did Shen Yijun bring with him? ”

Akina Nakamori was uncomfortable just now.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and apologized to her, let her go, put his hand in his pocket, and took it out, "This is it." ”

"Is it Quick Snap?" Akina Nakamori recognized, a little confused, not knowing why he brought this.

"Can I take a picture of you?" Iwahashi took the disposable camera in his hand and asked for her opinion. "If it's 'forbidden to shoot,'" he joked in passing, "I'll leave it here in the hallway." ”

He pretended to be a reporter, and Akina Nakamori played the role of Taopu Star in his true colors.

"If it's an interview today, 'shooting is OK.'" Her seriousness could only persist until she finished this sentence, and immediately laughed.

Shinichi Iwahashi reminded her at the right time, "Is it okay to leave the kitchen alone?"

"Ahh ”

Akina Nakamori showed an expression of "I have forgotten everything". Shin Iwahashi lifted the camera in his hand and pressed the shutter to faithfully record her embarrassed expression.

Toy camera, the operation method is so simple that it couldn't be simpler.

After buying a Quick Snap that day, Shinichi Iwahashi went back to the office and fiddled around with it in the office. This little thing is very easy to get started, just look at the brief operation instructions on the package - once you get your hands on it, just shoot it.

Because of the simplicity of operation, such as this special moment, as long as you have this toy camera in your hand, you can capture it at the first time-

Even if you don't worry about being beaten by your girlfriend, you can continue to shoot her reaction after being suddenly plotted.

There is a progress jam on Fujifilm's side, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Watanabe Manyumi are stuck on the tour schedule. As soon as his brother-in-law Narita Kanyuki pulled the line on, both sides wanted to get into the state quickly.

This Sunday, tomorrow, Iwahashi Shinichi and a representative of Fujifilm are going to play golf in Yamanashi Prefecture. The ads that ran in April are now February, so there is not much time left.

Although I don't want to endorse a shampoo for hair growth or a mask that puts water on it, it's just a commercial song. However, since it is tailor-made, if you want to talk about cooperation, you must first have a little understanding of the product.

I just bought the camera yesterday, and I happened to come over for dinner today, so Iwahashi Shinichi took the nearest material and brought it over.

However, taking such a snapshot of Akina Nakamori made him also grab this disposable camera, and the best thing in his opinion is that it "grabbed inadvertently".

The biggest feature of "Quick Snap" is, of course, that it is convenient, but the charm of it is that it can be taken anytime, anywhere, when you want to.

A sense of uninhibitedness.

With Shinichi Iwahashi's idea, if you want to make an advertising song, you must prepare a relaxing song.

......

The apartment where Akina Nakamori lives is not large, but if you live alone, it is quite spacious.

The room was cleaned by her and kept in order. Staying in such a house, Iwahashi Shinichi was not surprised at all when he watched Akina Nakamori standing in front of the cooking table and preparing dinner with her hands and feet.

No matter how you look at it, he is also a very good person at home.

"That's amazing. Shinichi Iwahashi was amazed by her crisp and neat swordsmanship.

Being praised by him like this, to be precise, by him watching the cooking, Akina Nakamori was a little embarrassed, and opened her mouth to catch up, "Shen Yijun will go and sit down first, wait for a while." ”

Being praised by him like this, to be precise, by him watching the cooking, Akina Nakamori was a little embarrassed, and opened her mouth to catch up, "Shen Yijun will go and sit down first, wait for a while." ”

But I'm just sitting alone and bored
