You say this is a love game?

He has never experienced this.

In his previous life, he was the only child in the family. He would just occasionally fantasize about having a cute sister at home when playing Gal. The few experiences he had with children were when relatives visited during the holidays, so he met some naughty children with high blood pressure.

Even if he occasionally drew an SSR, he wouldn't have much interaction with those kids. It would just be a few polite exchanges, and that would be it.

In this life, Makoto Mizutani has almost no experience in taking care of children.

This kind of "kids throwing tantrums" situation... is really too unfamiliar.

Damn it, Earth Online is such a crappy game, why aren’t there three option boxes floating in front of me when I talk to people?

Makoto Mizutani held his chin with both hands, tilted his head and reviewed the battle situation in his mind. He was thinking about what to say when he suddenly lowered his eyes and found that Yoshiko Satori was secretly looking at him.

Oh, are you peeking at me?

For some reason, Mizutani Makoto suddenly thought of the lines that Yajima Mai had once said to him.

When he was standing from Yajima Mai's perspective, was his gaze also so obvious?

But you know what, Kako's little movements that happen several times a second, whether it's blinking her eyelashes, pursing her lips, or even moving her little hands around because she doesn't know where to put them, are really quite interesting.

Mizutani Makoto leaned forward slightly and came out from the gap at this time. She must be wearing her usual school uniform, a red and white elementary school uniform. The folded collar design makes it look very similar to a sailor uniform, and it looks particularly cute.

Mizutani Makoto moved and immediately met Satori Yoshiko's gaze.

Yoshiko Satori was startled and looked away guiltily.

Makoto Mizutani moved his butt again, keeping his hands on his cheeks, and forced himself to walk around the table with Yoshiko Satori.

As he circled around, his butt came to the side of Satori Yoshiko. The girl stopped pretending and stared at him with her eyes, making a nasal sound of "hmm~" from her nose, which made Mizutani Makoto laugh.

Put your hands under the girl's armpits.

"Hey!"

He just picked up Yoshiko Satori!

"Huh? Big brother?!"

This trick is really useful!

What a little brat!

It's the perfect size to be held!

Mizutani Makoto laughed and stood up, holding Satori Yoshiko. The girl lay on his shoulders and struggled in panic, but soon found her balance again, holding Mizutani Makoto's head with one hand and pressing his shoulder with the other to maintain her balance.

She was very happy, patted Mizutani Makoto's shoulder gently, and then hugged him tightly.

Makoto Mizutani tried to understand Yoshiko Satori using the logic of a mature woman, which is undoubtedly incomprehensible. Which mature woman would like such a childish thing?

However, from the perspective of a seven-year-old kid, it seems that we can understand why she is so happy.

At this age when even "riding a big horse" makes one happy, the act of being lifted up high by someone so reliable and trustworthy can bring infinite joy in itself.

Just like when my dad held me in his arms.

"Now, can you tell me what you are angry about?"

Makoto Mizutani gently patted Satori Yoshiko's back. Now that she had become a zashiki-warashi, she must be as light as a feather. But he also weighed her and couldn't help but guess that she must have been very light before. This was not a little fat girl, but a girl as cute as a porcelain doll.

Finally, Yoshiko Satori stopped hiding it.

She grabbed Mizutani Makoto's ear and said with a little frustration: "I'm envious."

"what?"

"I envy the miko-nee-san, for making big brother look so...peaceful..."

Satori Yoshiko finally said what was hidden in her heart.

She wasn't jealous of Furuya Ruriko.

It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the interaction between Makoto Mizutani and Ruriko Furuya, nor do I feel that Ruriko Furuya has taken anything away.

She was just simply envious.

I'm so envious. I envy Furuya Ruriko for being able to make Mizutani Makoto so relaxed, calm and peaceful.

Yoshiko Satori has always wanted to bring happiness to Makoto Mizutani. This was clear to her when she decided to repay Makoto Mizutani. After seeing how Ruriko Furuya "influenced" Makoto Mizutani, she really wanted to do the same thing in her dreams.

But, I can’t do it.

She didn't quite understand how Miss Miko did it, but one thing was certain: she didn't seem to be as mature and steady as Miss Miko...

Mizutani Makoto widened his eyes in confusion.

No, is there any other reason?

For a moment, Mizutani Makoto didn't know what to say. He put Satori Yoshiko down, held her in his arms, and fell into deep thought.

Loli's mother feels that she is not a good enough mother. How should she solve this problem?

He held his chin and thought for a long time, but he could not find a solution even after searching through his rich Gal experience.

So, he could only pat Satori Yoshiko on the shoulder and comfort her: "Who can say for sure about such things? Don't worry too much, just let it go."

Nonsense, there's no way he could possibly perform the role of a good son to Kako right there, right?

He is not a pervert!

However, this time I understand Kako's inner thoughts... Is he really regarded as Kako's "son"?

What a fucking shit!

This is not good. There is always a loli mother who is thinking about giving her motherly love. As a man, it is really embarrassing.

It must be admitted that the relationship between Makoto Mizutani and Yoshiko Satori is very complicated, with each of them having their own opinions.

Yoshiko treats him as her son.

He treats Kako as his sister.

Both of them have an infinitely bright future!

"Big brother, I actually have an idea!"

Satori Yoshiko sat more straight.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Last time, when I let my big brother use my thigh as a lap pillow, I felt—"

"Okay, stop it. Don't talk about this topic anymore."

"Wow, didn't big brother say 'it's okay to say it'? You're such a liar!"

No.

This is for my image.

Yoshiko Satori was furious.

But as soon as Mizutani Makoto lay down on the tatami, she pressed on him directly, her little face puffed up, and she rubbed Mizutani Makoto's face hard twice.

But soon, she found that Mizutani Makoto was looking at his mobile phone intently.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for a new home."

Outside the window, the long night is about to end.

The sky was already getting light. The daylight always came early in June, and Mizutani Makoto was also feeling a little sleepy.

Big brother, you don’t have to go to the newspaper office to work part-time today, so you can get a good night’s sleep, right?

I came out of the crack last night. Although the game was stopped, Makoto Mizutani is still chatting with Yoshiko Satori until now and hasn't rested yet.

"Looking at the house?"

Yoshiko Satori suddenly became quiet and spoke in a very low voice.

Makoto Mizutani turned over, and Yoshiko Satori squeezed into the quilt, curiously wanting to see his phone.

"Don't we have a place to live?"

"This place is too small. Look, there aren't even two rooms. It's just for when things are tough. Now... ahem, the money isn't quite there yet, but I can always dream. I'll look for a more practical place first, and then move out when I have more money."

Yoshiko Satori actually felt that there was nothing wrong with this small room.

After all, it was here that she met her elder brother.

However, the house is getting bigger and bigger, and life is getting better and better, which is indeed the way to "happiness"!

Just take away some necessary things. For her, the most important thing is definitely where Mizutani Makoto plans to go.

"Brother, have you decided which apartment you want to go to?"

"Apartment? I'm not actually planning on buying an apartment."

Makoto Mizutani stroked his chin and showed the interface of his mobile phone to Yoshiko Satori. It showed the houses in Night Light City. There were no apartments or residential areas, but instead small houses and single-family homes.

Most of them are in the suburbs, and only a small number of expensive houses will be refreshed in locations closer to the city center.

"Hiss, so expensive..."

Chapter 92 The missing mirror.

It can be predicted that as Tongzi's tasks continue to be issued, the Mizutani family's small treasury will definitely continue to accumulate.

Since wealth is growing at a very fast rate, I can finally muster up the courage to take a look at the houses that I didn’t even dare to look at before.

A string of zeros!

So expensive!

Looking at the house prices displayed on the screen, Mizutani Makoto, who had never bought a house in his two lifetimes, couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.

But sooner or later it has to be replaced.

This tenement apartment is too small.

The place is narrow and living is inconvenient, its only advantage is the low price.

When Makoto Mizutani saves enough money to escape from the small apartment, he will definitely leave without hesitation.

At this point, a question arises: should I rent or buy a house?

The idea of ​​renting a house lingered in his mind for less than three seconds before Mizutani Makoto directly rejected it.

There is too much uncertainty in renting a house, and there are too many things that tenants cannot control.

After all, the house belongs to the landlord, and he will continue to explore the cracks in the future, and even practice kendo and exorcism... There is no need to cause trouble for the landlord or other tenants. The right solution is to find a cool place to stay.

Buying a house is certainly a bit expensive, but with Tongzi as a guarantee, I will definitely try to go down the path of buying a house.

Even if he were to buy a house, Makoto Mizutani had no plans to buy an apartment.

There is a saying that wealthy people in Japan generally choose to live in high-end apartments.

This statement is actually not entirely correct. The rich people here should refer to the social elite, not the real Celestial Dragons... Rich families like big families and chaebols are unlikely to live in high-end apartments, and usually live in their own big houses.

But Makoto Mizutani didn't have any idea about luxury apartments.

The advantage of a high-end apartment actually lies in its geographical location and the supporting property services, which are not what Makoto Mizutani needs. The geographical location of the "community" alone is enough to eliminate the apartment. The reason is the same as renting a house. It will cause trouble to other residents and is really unnecessary.

Therefore, his target was those "second-hand houses" such as small villas and single-family houses.

Makoto Mizutani doesn't have too much psychological obsession with "second-hand houses". What's more, second-hand houses are convenient. As long as you have enough money, you can move in at any time. If the layout is not comfortable, you can just redecorate it. But generally there is no need to renovate it as long as it is habitable.

Moreover, second-hand houses have price advantages...

Mizutani Makoto looked at the price on his phone and shook his head secretly.

"Even if it's a second-hand house, this price is out of my reach."

Damn, which high school student would think about "buying a house"?

He shouldn't be looking at this kind of price at this age!

Now that I had a little money in my hand, I felt a little inflated. I didn't expect that I even dared to look at houses... More than two million yen sounds like a lot, but anyone who knows the yen as a currency unit knows that more than two million thrown into the topic of "house" will not cause even the slightest splash.

If there really was a house that he could afford for more than 2 million yen, he wouldn't be able to afford it even if it was a haunted house!

"Tongzi, your reward needs to be strengthened."
