Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 7 The Landlady is Like a Snow Girl

Hearing that it was a woman coming outside, Namikaze Youhe in the closet was a little stunned.

Could it be that this senior named Oda Shingo is a magnet for women?

In such a short time that I've been in the closet, two women have already come to see him.

She was surprised, while Oda Shingo was quite embarrassed.

After hearing the landlady's voice, Oda Shingo subconsciously touched his cell phone.

He knew that he had only 26,000 yen left in his savings after purchasing furniture and painting tools.

The original owner had owed three months' rent, totaling 75,000 yen.

Even though the rent was super cheap, it was still not enough to make up for the loss. And the remaining money had to be kept for living.

The vast majority of rental properties in Japan are guaranteed by real estate agencies, so landlords do not need to worry about the rent.

It is very rare that the landlady rents the house directly or even comes to collect the payment in person.

It was for this reason that the original body was not blacklisted despite being in arrears with the rent for such a long time. Otherwise, the original body would not have been able to work at the animation company before.

But no matter it was due to life needs or the desire to form a team to create comics, Oda Shingo quickly made a decision in his heart: the overdue rent cannot be repaid for the time being!

"I'll be right there." Oda Shingo stood up, quickly adjusted his appearance in front of the broken mirror, and then went to open the door.

After Oda Shingo opened the door, he smiled and bowed in Japanese etiquette.

"Hello, landlady. Thank you for your care all along."

The bow of respect is at a thirty-degree angle, and the details of the movements are very standard.

Mrs. Yukino Shindong was stunned.

Before coming, she had thought about what might happen.

Because this was not the first time she came to ask for rent.

The first time he pretended to be sick, the second time he pretended not to be at home, the third time he acted rudely...

Unexpectedly, this time, the tenant Oda Shingo opened the door and greeted me with a smile.

Is this also a trick? Mrs. Yukino Shindong speculated in her heart.

"Hello, Mr. Oda." Despite what she was thinking, Mrs. Yukino Fuyuki still bowed very politely, and the two sides exchanged a few polite words at the door.

As she spoke, Mrs. Yukino Fuyuki began to doubt whether she had taken the wrong path.

Is the Oda Shingo in front of me the same untidy and unkempt young man I saw before?
Dress appropriately and speak politely.

Even if it is not used as a reference, the whole person's spirit and energy are different!

They are totally two people, right?
Mrs. Yukino Shinfuyu, who was very good at judging people, was puzzled and couldn't help but secretly look at the young man in front of her again.

"It's been windy these two days. I'm really sorry to bother you to come and see me." Oda Shingo said politely.

As long as the matter is not urgent, people in Japan, especially Tokyo, will exchange pleasantries first and then get down to business. This is a tradition.

It is said that it is even worse in Kyoto. The two parties may seem to be chatting happily for half an hour before they talk about business, and then they want to chop the household registration book of the other party to death...

Oda Shingo was also looking at the landlady.

In this era, it is rare to wear a kimono.

A very beautiful woman, no, I should say a very exquisite one.

She has fair skin, a frail figure, and her manners and speech give the impression of someone who comes from a traditional family.

"The landlady is here, probably about the rent, right?" Oda Shingo's face quickly turned serious.

In her memory, her late husband seemed to be a big boss of a certain family...

Oda Shingo had no doubt that if the landlady got angry, being thrown into the street would be the lightest punishment.

It is entirely possible that he was sunk to the bottom of the Meguro River in Tokyo...

"Well, since Mr. Oda brought it up, let's talk about it." Mrs. Yukino Shinfuyu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, "Mr. Oda Shingo, is there anything wrong with the apartment? Are you not used to living here?"

She actually doesn't lack money, but collecting rent is her current job.

Oda Shingo could tell that what she said was very polite.

I owe her three months' rent. 99% of Japanese people would throw away their usual politeness, confront her directly and harshly, or even kick her out directly.

Japanese society seems to be very polite, but at its core it is more utilitarian than any other country.

It can be said that worshipping the strong and despising the weak is their natural law of competition. Those who default on rent are losers. The most common thing that happens is that tenants get out of bed and ask for a deferral of rent payment.

No one would say anything even if the landlord scolded the tenants who were in arrears with the rent, or even drove them out to the street and threw their luggage everywhere.

"Madam, the conditions of the apartment are acceptable and meet my income standards." Oda Shingo stood up straight and said seriously, "I don't want to make excuses with you, this..."

As Oda Shingo spoke, he observed the landlady's expression.

But the imagined change of expression did not happen. Mrs. Yukino Shinfuyu raised her head slightly, without any intention of scolding, and just listened to him carefully as he continued to speak.

"I'm really sorry. I have to say sorry to you." If it were someone else, seeing the beautiful landlady looking at him like that, they might be embarrassed and unable to continue speaking, but Oda Shingo said very firmly, "I need to continue to owe you the rent!"

Mrs. Yukino Fuyu looked at Oda Shingo with a smile on her face. After a few seconds, she slowly said, "Since Mr. Oda is so frank, then I need a reason."

In fact, today was the last time she planned to come.

If she is treated like before, Yukino Shindong will leave it to the people around her to deal with...

However, Mr. Oda seems a little different this time.

“……”Oda Shingo did not give the reason immediately.

He quickly analyzed the landlady's dress and behavior in his mind.

Although she was wearing a kimono with four seasons patterns, it was obviously made of luxurious materials and was made with top-quality handwork, so the cost must have been no less than one million yen.

She wore very little jewelry and light makeup, but her lip gloss and cheek makeup were luxury goods. Her hair was carefully groomed, and the faint fragrance also fully demonstrated the expensive hair wax.

His manners were very decent and polite. His posture and voice were perfect, and he was obviously well-educated.

So, this landlady is not short of money!
One can even boldly speculate that collecting rent might just be a hobby of hers!

"Landlady, to be honest, I did make some money from my part-time job recently..." Oda Shingo told the truth.

As he said this, Oda Shingo was still observing.

Mrs. Yukino Fuyu still had a smile on her face and seemed to be listening quietly.

If she were a friend, she would be a good listener to someone who was in trouble. This was the feeling she gave Oda Shingo.

This lady is that kind of high-quality woman, right? Oda Shingo recalled an article he had read in his previous life that studied women.

A high-quality woman may not be particularly good-looking, but she is the type that men find very attractive.

But this lady is also very pretty and has a good figure. If her hair was dyed white, she might look like a famous snow woman.

He continued to explain in a serious manner: "I am planning to start creating comics recently, and I really need start-up capital. So, I am very sorry that I cannot repay the rent I owe you for the time being."

A 90-degree bow is an expression of solemn apology.

Mrs. Yukino Fuyu asked slowly, "Animation? Specifically, what do you want to do?"

"I have an idea and I'm ready to submit it," Oda Shingo explained immediately.

"The market is tired of harems now, and the anime market dominated by different worlds lacks innovative ideas..."

"Publishers are eager to achieve results, and producers are impatient, ignoring the tendency of readers to gradually get bored..."

Oda Shingo used his rich work experience in his previous life, his memory, and his understanding of the anime market from his computer to begin analyzing the current anime industry in this world.

This...what he said...Yukino Shendong was surprised.

Mrs. Yukino Fuyuki had some exposure to the animation industry, but had never analyzed the market conditions.

From what I heard, it seems that this young man has thought seriously about the animation market.

Mrs. Yukino Fuyu looked at Oda Shingo again.

The simple outfit, cheap clothes, and delicate but somewhat weak facial features make it easy for the older sister to feel like bullying him.

But his speech and behavior do not show any of the impetuousness of a young person. Combined with the temperament revealed by his posture and gaze, he seems more like a veteran who has been in the workplace for a long time.

What a strange feeling...

Mrs. Yukino Fuyu has met all kinds of people in the process of collecting rent, but this is the first time she has met a young man whom she cannot understand.

"I see. I'm honored that you can share so many ideas with me." Mrs. Yukino Fuyu looked directly at Oda Shingo and put forward her own ideas. "Before deciding whether to accept your request for arrears, can you let me see your room?"

Hearing this, Oda Shingo was stunned. Somehow, countless familiar plots appeared in his mind...

For example, a plumber visiting your home, a female tutor, or a courier breaking into your home...
