Chapter 6 Life is not always the same, it needs a little change every now and then

'Pikachu' looked at Makoto Futaba's phone for a while.

Suddenly raised his hand.

"You...the phone is about to run out of battery."

Makoto Futaba glanced at it, and there was indeed only 2% of the phone left:
"Is that the point?"

'Pikachu' didn't seem to have any intention of doubting what Futaba Makoto said. She shook her body, took the plate from the other party's hand, and wandered into the room.

The door was closed again, and the name tag hanging on the door shook slightly.

"Meow?" Merlin appeared at Shuangye Cheng's feet at some point, and it tilted its head and meowed, as if asking what happened.

Makoto Futaba picked up Merlin Pig sitting on the ground and rubbed its chubby belly:
"It's okay, let's go down to eat."

"Meow!"

The sound outside the door gradually disappeared.

In the room, the 'Pikachu' sitting on the bed stretched out his hand and took off his headgear. His long black hair fell on the side of the bed. In the gap in the curtain on one side, the fine sunlight dotted her long hair with a slight arc of light. .

Although the environment was dim, her eyes were exceptionally clear.

After a long time, a thin mosquito-like voice came from the quiet environment:
"so close."

in the afternoon.

Kaoru Suzuki, who caught a cold, has recovered.

She changed back to her school uniform and sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly looking not far away - Makoto Futaba who was opening the refrigerator to pour tea, and on his shoulder, there was a licking tongue towards the refrigerator. The fat cat inside looked as if there was something delicious inside.

This scene is not unfamiliar. At this time yesterday, the other party also made tea for her like this, but in just one day, Suzuki Kaoru's mentality has quietly changed.

"Come, have some tea." Makoto Futaba poured himself a cup of iced oolong tea, and then took out the electric kettle and poured a cup of hot ginger tea for Suzuki.

"Thank you." Suzuki Kaori took the teacup and took a sip.

A little hot, but delicious.

She put down the teacup and glanced at Makoto Futaba who was stroking the cat at the moment:
"How long have you been a landlord?"

"One month." Futaba Cheng replied.

After hearing that it was only a month, Kaoru Suzuki seemed a little surprised. She glanced at the decorations around and found that it was indeed quite new, as if it had just been renovated.

"But after a month, only Gong Bai was recruited. It was a little difficult to start." Shuangye Cheng smiled helplessly.

"The rent is too low." Suzuki Kaori thought for a while, and finally blamed it.

She didn't understand the significance of Futaba Cheng's decision to rent at such a low price. Could it be that it was to recruit more tenants in the early stage? In her opinion, such a high-quality house could definitely charge more rent.

Of course, if the rent went up, she wouldn't be here yesterday.

"The rent doesn't matter." Makoto Futaba said:
"As long as you can recruit enough people."

After hearing this, Suzuki Kaoru looked at Futaba Makoto for a while before saying:

"Is this your quirk?"

There is not much need for rent, and the tenant is preferably under the age of 20, which basically locks in female high school students and female college students, which makes Suzuki Kaoru have to doubt Futaba Makoto's purpose.

But what happened in the morning made Suzuki Kaoru think that Futaba Makoto's character is not bad.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party is hiding deeply and showing his fangs at any time.

In the face of Kaoru Suzuki's question, Makoto Futaba didn't know how to explain this. After all, it was requested by the system's mother, Sang.

In the end, he could only make up a more reasonable explanation:

"Actually, this house used to be a high school girl's dormitory, and then it was idle and wanted to rent it out. My family wanted to rent the house to young girls. As for why the house price is so low, it's mainly because I want the tenants to help with the house, so that the house is not too expensive. Let it go to waste."

"Then why are you the landlord?" As soon as Suzuki Kaori finished speaking, he noticed that Makoto Futaba's expression was a bit wrong, as if he had remembered something bad.

She seemed to know something and said apologetically:

"Sorry, seems to have said something that shouldn't have been said."

Futaba Makoto didn't realize why Suzuki Kaori wanted to apologize at this time. He just didn't know how to continue making it up. Lying was not something Futaba Makoto was good at.

The living room was quiet again, and the two of them started drinking tea without speaking, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

The clock on the wall, unknowingly, came to four o'clock.

Suzuki smoked the last sip of ginger tea, stood up slowly and said:
"Then I'll say goodbye first. Thank you for your care. The tea is delicious."

Shuangye Cheng smiled: "You're welcome."

There was a sound of the door closing, and Suzuki Kaori left.

"Meow?"

"Well, she left." Shuangye Cheng stood up with Merlin in his arms, it was indeed a pity, mainly because there were not many cute long-term tenants.

Just when he was about to go upstairs to go back to his room, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring: "Ding——"

"Who?" Shuangye Cheng was a little puzzled.

Could it be Nana?
He walked over with Merlin in his arms, and when he opened the door, there was a familiar face.

"Hello, I'm here to rent an apartment." Seeing Makoto Futaba's stunned expression, Suzuki Kaoru revealed a rare hint of slyness in his eyes.

"you……"

After looking at Kaori Suzuki for a few seconds, Makoto Futaba seemed to understand something and couldn't help but smile:
"Welcome to No. 1883, Kumacho, Xiaozhuo."

Sure enough, the tenants are a little weird.

【Tenant: Suzuki Kaoru moved in successfully】

...]

A series of information windows appeared, making Makoto Futaba a little dazzled, but at least he could clearly see Kaoru Suzuki's panel, but this attribute was compared to Gongbai's classmate's attribute... Makoto Futaba was a little puzzled, but he still put this first Put aside, let Suzuki move in first.

"There are basically no rooms on the first floor. The tenants live on the second and third floors. Each room is equipped with a separate toilet, with an area of ​​about 20 square meters." Makoto Futaba introduced and led Kaoru Suzuki upstairs. .

Kaoru Suzuki listened quietly, but out of the corner of his eyes he noticed the room at the end of the corridor, only the door there had a number on the door.

"That's Gong Bai's room. Her personality is a bit peculiar, so don't be surprised if you see her." Shuangye Cheng explained.

"Strange?" Suzuki Kaori nodded, indicating that he heard it.

At this moment, the door at the far end opened, and a 'Pikachu' staggered out and closed the door.

It's just that when he closed the door, he didn't seem to pay attention and caught his fluffy tail.

She reached out and pulled it out, but she couldn't pull it out at all.

Everyone:"……"

The atmosphere is somewhat quiet.

She had to reopen the door and let her tail out.

"Do you want to go out, Gong Bai?" Seeing this scene, Shuangye Cheng asked from a distance.

'Pikachu' nodded, then went straight down the other stairs without coming over to say hello.

After seeing her leave, Shuangye Cheng continued to introduce: "Right, he is a rather strange person."

"..." Suzuki Kaori watched this scene silently:
"Well, it's very strange."
