Chapter 3 "About a novice landlord trying to take care of his house"

Let's go home first.

At this time, the sky is already dark, and it looks like it will rain at any time. The weather forecast also suggests that there will be a heavy rain today.

"Go home, Merlin."

"Meow meow."

Perhaps because the weather is getting worse, passers-by are in a hurry, but most of them are familiar and can say hello from time to time——

"Have you come out to buy ingredients again, Makoto-kun?" A middle-aged woman in an apron greeted Makoto Shuangye with a smile. This is the morning family living at the end of the street. The woman in front of her and Makoto Futaba's My mother has been a good friend for many years, and will give each other some gifts or souvenirs during the festivals all year round.

"Good afternoon, Aunt Keiko, I bought onions, carrots and beef, and I plan to make hamburgers tonight." Makoto Futaba lifted the bag in his hand and explained with a smile.

Merlin also stretched out his chubby little paws and signaled his existence: "Meow."

Keiko glanced at the ingredients in the bag in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Good afternoon, Xiao Meilin, but Cheng-jun, you are really capable. Not only do you take care of such a big house, you can also cook. It's not like my Nana. She can't even make miso soup. If she can't get married in the future It's troublesome."

"You're joking. In the morning, my classmates are not only beautiful to study, not to mention sports, but they are much better than me." Seeing the other party's appearance of a headache, Shuangye Cheng shook his head:

"But I think it must be because of your good teaching, Aunt Keiko, that you have such a good child."

Hearing this, Keiko immediately smiled wide-eyed:
"There's no such thing... Chengjun's mouth is still as sweet as ever. By the way, my aunt's hometown in the countryside just sent a few boxes of mangoes. I'll ask Nana to send you some later."

When Futaba Makoto heard that Nana was coming, he subconsciously said:

"No, you are too polite, so much trouble."

"Why are you being polite, then I'll go buy the ingredients for dinner first, and I'll talk later when I have time." Keiko said with a smile to Shuangye Cheng, and then left directly.

[Because of what you said, Keiko's mood has improved, as a reward for your charm value +1]

Just after Aunt Keiko left, a faint window floated in front of Makoto Futaba.

"If only I could add some physique." The system occasionally adds some attributes because of what he did.

As for how much Shuangye Cheng can add at 1 point, there is no intuitive feeling. After all, he has only added it three times, and each time he just added it to the charm, but Shuangye Cheng prefers to add physique, because his body is better than ordinary people. It's a little bit worse, and sometimes it even loses strength after long-distance running.

At this moment, the dark sky above his head suddenly sounded a dull thunder, pulling back Makoto Futaba's thoughts——

"Have to go back quickly."

Futaba Cheng started to trot, and the Merlin fat on his shoulders trembled.

After returning home, Shuangye Cheng changed his shoes, and did not forget to shout upstairs:
"Student Gong Bai, eat hamburger tonight."

There was no response from upstairs, but Makoto Futaba didn't care either and started to prepare dinner, and just half an hour later, the sound of rain suddenly sounded outside the window, and the rapid raindrops rhythmically knocked on the window, as if they were playing crisp music. 's ceremony.

"Oops, I have to put away my clothes." Shuangye Cheng was cutting carrots, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurried out of the yard to collect the clothes.

When he returned to the house with his clothes in a hurry, his body was already wet, and water droplets dripped down the ends of his hair and landed on Merlin's cat's head.

"mum?"

After Merlin shook his head to shake off the water droplets, he looked up at Makoto Futaba with his small head, and seemed a little worried.

"It's okay, it's fortunate that the clothes are not completely wet."

Shuangye Cheng came to the sofa with his clothes in his arms. When he was about to put down his clothes and take a shower, he noticed a small blue mobile phone on one side of the sofa.

"Whose phone is this phone?" Shuangye Cheng put down his clothes and picked up his phone. He opened the lock screen and found that it was a group photo.

In the photo is a girl with short hair and a girl with glasses of the same age, both with lovely smiles, wearing high school uniforms and gesturing with scissors.

"Isn't this a picture of Miss Kaoru Suzuki?" Makoto Futaba murmured after his eyes stayed on the short-haired girl for a few seconds.

But why is her phone here?
Makoto Futaba showed a puzzled expression, but he quickly thought of something, because if he remembered correctly, Kaoru Suzuki seemed to almost trip over when he was about to leave. Maybe the phone slipped on the sofa at that time. of.

"But people can't get in touch now, and it's raining so much, it seems that I can only go out tomorrow to find it." Shuangye Cheng had no choice but to put down his phone and go upstairs to take a shower.

……

Adjust the meat filling, add onions, toss the left and right hands back and pat the air, and fry in butter.

Paired with poached broccoli and carrots, and drizzled with a sauce made of ketchup and British balsamic vinegar, the fragrant burger is freshly baked.

[Successful production of hamburger meat, cooking lv.3 proficiency increased (67/100)]

After Futaba Makoto made two hamburgers, he couldn't help showing a satisfied expression: "Very good."

After putting his share on the dining table on the first floor, he took the other share to a room at the end of the second floor.

There was a sign hanging on the log-colored door, with four crooked characters written on it with a whiteboard pen.

Shuangye Cheng held the plate and said to the door, "Student Gong Bai, dinner is ready, do you want to come out to eat?"

The room was very quiet, but after a while, there was a rustling sound, and then the door finally opened, and a person wearing a Pikachu doll appeared.

One person and one doll looked at each other for a few seconds.

But this kind of dress that only appears in amusement parks or comic exhibitions seems to be no surprise in Futaba Makoto's eyes, and he handed over the plate:
"This is dinner."

'Pikachu' nodded, and clumsily wanted to close the door after taking the plate, but perhaps because it was inconvenient to wear a doll costume, she was in a dilemma at the door, almost knocking off Pikachu's head.

Shuangye Cheng had no choice but to help close the door, not forgetting to remind:
"Just put it outside the door after eating, I'll clean it up."

There was no sound inside, but Makoto Futaba didn't find it strange, but turned around and went back to the first floor to eat.

The night gradually deepened, but the rain outside the house showed no sign of stopping at all. Makoto Futaba sat at the desk in the room and slightly revised the tenant information.

[The single room of the house recruits long-term tenants

Venue: No. 1883, Kojiumacho, Fuyuki City.

Details: 20-square-meter personal room with independent bathroom, water, electricity, and internet.

Rent: 998 yen (no deposit, no key money)

Requirements: Female, less than 20 years old, can help the landlord to take care of the house (cleaning, cooking, etc.)]

"There should be no problem in this way. It's probably because Gong Bai came to rent the room that afternoon. I really didn't notice that the information I posted was easy to be misunderstood." After Makoto Futaba was done, he clicked to publish again.

"Ding dong—" With the release of new content, it was at this time that the doorbell rang from the first floor.

"The tenant is so fast?!" Shuangye Cheng just finished speaking, and then he couldn't help smiling: "How could someone come to the door just after the modification, it is estimated that the classmates came to deliver mangoes in the morning."

In such a heavy rainy day, she insisted on coming to deliver things, and I can only say that it is really worthy of her.

Makoto Futaba came to the first floor and opened the door, but unexpectedly found that it was Kaoru Suzuki standing at the door.

"Miss Suzuki?"

At this time, Kaoru Suzuki was all wet from the rain, and the color of her clothes was close to her skin, but her face was a little pale. After seeing Futaba Cheng open the door, she said word by word:

"cell phone……"

"Yes, you left your phone with me, please wait." Shuangye Cheng turned around and was about to go to the living room to get his phone to Suzuki Kaoru, but suddenly heard a muffled sound behind him, he turned his head and found Suzuki Xun actually fainted at the entrance.

"Suzuki, Miss Suzuki?"
