"Mr. Yuji, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again this time!"

"Mr. Lin was so polite there, and the last time I was able to satisfy you with my service, it was really the greatest affirmation of my work......

Yuji Aizawa said as he took Lin Shuichi and Miko to a reception room, and after a while, a female staff member knocked on the door and walked into the reception room to serve tea to the two.

"This is the next business card, please give me advice. ”

After the female colleague left, Yuji immediately presented his business card to Miko and Lin Xiuyi. Miko picked it up and looked at it, then carefully put it in his pocket.

"I don't know if you two are here this time, what can I serve you?"

Yuji Aizawa asked Lin Xiuyi straight to the point about the purpose of him and Miko, and Miko first glanced at Lin Xiuyi, and then asked Yuji Aizawa with some restraint.

"That...... According to Shuichiro, Mr. Aizawa is a very experienced real estate agent and will also give some good advice to your clients. I think...... Can you please find a more spacious building for me, Mr. Yuji?"

"Is it a one-family building? I wonder if Miss Fukuda has any specific requirements?"

"I'm a cartoonist by profession, and I don't usually go out of the house, so I don't have any commuting considerations in my position. However, I wanted to find a place where I could live in a quiet and convenient way. Also, I would like to have more rooms in the house so that my assistants can live there......"

Miko roughly described her needs to Aizawa. Then he looked at Lin Xiuyi again, as if he wanted to hear what else Lin Xiuyi had suggested.

"That's the case, so may I ask Miss Fukuda, what is your budget for buying real estate?"

"Well, I only have about 90 million yen in savings on hand, and some of them are extra income, so the budget for the purchase of real estate is about 45 million yen......

"Oh...... With such a large budget, you are sure to find the right house. But there's one thing I think I should explain for you first. That is, if you are not buying real estate for permanent residence, it is recommended that you do not buy a single house, because if you want to change hands in the future, it is more popular to have apartments......

"I see, I see! But if it's an apartment, wouldn't it be possible for my assistants to live at home?"

"It's not so absolute, there are some apartments that can actually meet your requirements, Miss Fukuda. In this case, I will take the two of you to some of the real estate in my possession and see if there is anything that satisfies Miss Fukuda......"

After getting Miko's consent again, Yuji Aizawa stood up and went out to prepare. And Yuzi asked Lin Xiuyi uncertainly, Xiu Yijun, which do you think is better, an apartment or a household?

Actually, when I bought my current house, I also thought about buying a house as my long-term home. But fortunately, I was dissuaded by Mr. Yuji at that time, and he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each apartment and a one-family building for me, and finally I decided to buy my current apartment. Actually, I think it's better to have an apartment if you live alone......"

Listening to Lin Xiuyi's words, Yuzi's original determination to buy a house gradually wavered. She seriously considered Xiu Yijun's suggestion in her mind, and then began to wonder if her original idea was a little too impulsive.

At the suggestion of Shueisha's editor Kasumi Tsukimoto, Miko, who has been relying on her own strength to support two million-selling works, finally thought of hiring a few assistants for herself. However, according to the rules of the professional cartoon industry, cartoonists tend to pay their assistants relatively low. This phenomenon is not uncommon, even among manga artists whose works are selling well. So, when hiring an assistant, there are basically some conventions and rules. One of the most important points is to be responsible for the food and lodging of the assistants.

The reason for this arrangement is not only to allow the assistants to follow the manga artist at all times to learn how to create, but also to be able to assist the manga artist in the work of the sketch at any time. Correspondingly, as an assistant to a cartoonist, he can only receive an extremely meager salary to cope with daily life. It can be said that the vast majority of manga artists' assistants do not have a good life.

Although the pay for the job is not high, it can even be said to be quite shabby. But even so, being able to work for a well-known cartoonist is still the first choice for many young people who aspire to become a professional cartoonist. After all, being able to stay with well-known cartoonists gives you more opportunities to meet the editors of those big magazines. If your work is seen by a teacher or editor who hires you, you may have a rare opportunity to make your debut.

But this is also what makes Miko feel entangled, because of the serialization and animation of "Girl Criminal", Miko finally has a lot of savings in his hands. So she also tends to get a new place for herself. But letting the assistant live in the house is something that Miko is unwilling to accept. After all, Miko had been living alone for so many years, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like to have someone she didn't know live in her home. When I think about it, I feel very uncomfortable.

"So, can we go now?"

Just when Miko was constantly struggling with what kind of real estate he wanted to buy, Mr. Yuji Aizawa, who had just gone out to arrange a field visit, suddenly returned to the reception room and invited Lin Shuichi and Miko to leave by car.

"If you two don't have an opinion, let's go and see how about a house in Setagaya Ward!"

"Well, Mr. Yuji, I actually thought about it just now, and I'm not sure if I'm really suitable for living in a house. So, if it's convenient, I'd also like to see if you have a suitable apartment on your hands. ”

"Ah...... That's right!"

"Excuse me, aren't you?"

"Ah...... Actually, I thought there was a good apartment in a good location that might be more suitable for you. The location is located in Shibuya Ward, which is adjacent to Setagaya Ward, so when we go to see the one-house building, we can stop by to see it. ”
