The dry wind of the summer morning blew the cicadas, and Makoto Kyushu opened the window of the rental house and stretched.

It was late July, and he finally felt the leisurely comfort of summer vacation.

Eliza is still hospitalized, so she won't call him to get to work. But even if he really came to urge him, Kyushu Cheng planned to resign all of them and let her work alone.

The soul removal master itself is a freelance profession, which belongs to more work and more rewards, and the work is entirely up to one's own will. Kyushu Cheng also needs vacation time, although he remembers Eliza's kindness, but he is not obliged to accompany the "integral maniac" lady to work.

Kyushu Cheng has already obtained his passport, accommodation and air tickets have been booked, and he plans to go to Yanhuang's hometown in a week.

In the meantime, he has another important thing to do.

A few days ago, when he went to report to work in Yinyangliao, he happened to talk to the receptionist about his residence, the small storage room on the top of the apartment.

The receptionist told him that the work benefits of Yinyangliao also included a housing allowance. A real estate company has a business relationship with them and can sell or lease the house to members of the Yinyang Liao at an internal preferential price.

After learning about this, Makoto Kyushu moved the idea of moving.

Theoretically, it is illegal to convert the apartment storage room into a residential house without authorization, so Kyushu Makoto is now considered a gray resident. Once a good neighbor reports it, Kyushu Makoto will have to be kicked out.

In fact, many residents in this apartment have heard of this poor boy who lives on the top floor. As a result, he often gets strange looks from his neighbors, as if they dislike him and think that he has caused trouble to everyone in this building.

In the past, Kyushu Cheng could still stare back with confidence, putting on an attitude of "I am poor and I am reasonable".

But now he has a lot of money, and although he can afford to buy a house in Tokyo, he can rent a good apartment.

Therefore, Makoto Kyushu decided to take advantage of his free time during the summer vacation to find a new home, so as not to continue to find guilt for himself.

Under the arrangement of Yinyangliao, it only took one afternoon from looking at the house to signing the contract.

The other party offered an internal preferential price, so there is no need to shop around. If you want to find a more affordable rental house, you can only find those murderous houses that have died - but the murderous houses are generally paid by the landlord to invite you to live, and the cost performance is naturally impeccable.

The house chosen by Makoto Kyushu is still located in Kamurocho, a recently completed apartment building aimed at the so-called "middle class" and more affluent university students.

Since he was in the same town, it was easy for him to move and he didn't have to face the dilemma of not being familiar with the place after moving.

There were no valuable belongings in Makoto Kyushu's old house, so he simply saved the money to hire a moving company and transported all the belongings over in an afternoon.

After saying goodbye to the landlord and giving a thank you gift, Makoto Kyushu left with the last big bag and small bag, saying goodbye to this poor and narrow rental house completely.

The new apartment is about fifteen stories high, and the walls are painted in bright white paint, which is not luxurious, but it is very pleasant to see.

The apartment selected by Kyushu Cheng is on the top floor, with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, the living room and kitchen are separated by a bar table, and there is a laundry room, which is the top of the house.

There is also a gym under the apartment, which is why Kyushu Makoto chose this place. In this way, he can exercise at any time, and it is only a matter of time before he returns to the peak state of his previous life.

"Mr. Makoto Kyushu, thank you for choosing our money island real estate." Before leaving, the salesman politely handed out a business card:

"If you are satisfied with your stay here, you can also contact me at any time to buy it."

Lying on the sofa in the living room, Makoto Kyushu looked out the window with a pleasant enjoyment, and took in all the night views of Kamuromachi.

"By the way, I almost forgot about it!"

Makoto Kyushu suddenly sat up from the couch.

Since the Edo period, there has been a saying in Wano Province called "moving ceremony", which means that after moving, it is necessary to give soba noodles to new neighbors.

Today, this custom is still popular in Wano Country, but there is no hard and fast rule on gifts, and the price is around 1,000 yen.

Although Makoto Kyushu is dismissive of many of the red tape in Wano Country, he sees the "moving ceremony" as a meaningful cultural practice.

After moving, take the initiative to greet the neighbors to be familiar, and give gifts to enhance the relationship between the two parties. In this way, neighbors will get along more happily and will be able to take care of each other in the future.

After all, the way of life of modern human beings is mutual benefit and mutual support, and Kyushu Makoto also lives with this belief.

Makoto Kyushu went to the convenience store downstairs to buy more than a dozen packs of rice cakes that were on sale, and then went door-to-door to visit the residents on the main floor and the upper and lower floors.

Most of the neighbors here are fluent in the language, many of them are teachers and writers, and there is a top student at the University of Tokyo, which is not at all a grade compared to the residents of the previous dilapidated apartment.

After a visit, Makoto Kyushu finally came to the door of the neighbor's house on the left, took a bag of rice cakes and rang the doorbell:

"Good evening! Excuse me, I'm a new resident of 1503! ”

Makoto Kyushu waited at the door for a minute, but no one responded.

"Strange, not at home?" Makoto Kyushu pinched his chin and thought for a moment.

Makoto Kyushu confirmed with the apartment manager that the room to his left was occupied.

It stands to reason that if you meet a neighbor who is not at home, you can leave the gift at the door and write a note explaining the intention, which can be regarded as a "moving gift".

But Makoto Kyushu doesn't plan to do that. The meaning of the "moving gift" is to greet the neighbors, and if it is just a formalistic gift, the meaning of this custom will be lost.

Makoto Kyushu is going to go home first, and tomorrow he will ask the apartment manager about his neighbor's travel habits, so that he can find a suitable time to visit.

Just as Makoto Kyushu turned to leave, the neighbor's door suddenly creaked open a crack.

The door was opened by a girl with long black hair and round-rimmed glasses, whose skin seemed to be too fair because she didn't go out much, and looked about the same age as Makoto Kyushu, and maybe a year or two older than him.

"Hello" The girl was a little cramped, looking at him through the doorchain with scared eyes.

In one look, Makoto Kyushu saw that she was probably an introvert and could also suffer from social phobia.

"Hello, my name is Makoto Kyushu, I am seventeen years old this year, and I am a high school student." Kyushu Cheng squatted down slightly, and looked at her as kindly as possible:

"I live alone now, and I will be your neighbor to the right in the future, please take care of me."

He handed the rice cake to the edge of the door. The girl hesitated, opened the door a little, stretched out her snow-white fingers, which had not been exposed to the sun, and gently dragged the rice cake into the house.

"Thank you, thank you." She whispered: "My name is Jingzi, please take care of it!" ”

Keiko looked very nervous, and she accidentally bit her tongue in the middle of her words, so frightened that she immediately pursed her lips, nodded three times in succession and closed the door.
