Chapter 31

The loan process went smoothly.

Since he had previous experience with a similar loan, Nakai Yuta helped Nagayama Naoki directly apply for a 100 million yen limit.

The house purchase also went smoothly.

He bought a 25-tatami (about 80 square meters) house in Bunkyo Ward for only 16 million yen.

Roppongi was still unaffordable, but this time the shop was in Shibuya, a 15-tatami (50 square meters) ground-floor shop that cost 106 million yen. It was indeed expensive!

He would have to sell it for 600 million yen during the bubble period to do justice to himself!

...

Time flew by, and it was almost April. Some early cherry blossoms in Tokyo had already bloomed, but most were still in bud, with their most splendid days a week away.

The song "Sakura ~Anata ni deaete yokatta~" (Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms, I'm Glad to Meet You) could still be heard on the streets. It had been at the top of the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks.

With the help of the cherry blossom season in April, it was expected to remain popular for at least two more weeks, and topping the monthly chart was not a dream.

Nagayama Naoki, the creator and producer, had gained a certain level of fame in some music journals, being called the "creator of cherry blossom songs."

After all, two songs related to cherry blossoms had become major hits.

...

...

Nagayama Tsuruko had been talking about coming to Tokyo for a few days, and they finally decided to take the train to Tokyo on the last day of March.

Her best friend, Tsubaki Kona, was also coming. Both had just entered high school and decided to have a good time during their spring break.

It was a weekend, and Nagayama Naoki cleaned the house a bit in the morning before heading to Waseda Station.

In the days without cell phones, he could only wait in advance, calculating the time.

Waseda Station was bustling with people, and they had agreed to meet at the convenience store in the waiting hall.

Nagayama Naoki idly flipped through the magazines on the shelves while waiting for Tsuruko to arrive.

He even saw news about Higuchi Kanako joining a new drama in one of the magazines.

Indeed, once you gained fame, production teams would come knocking.

After waiting for about half an hour, he saw two girls in skirts walking out of the exit.

"Tsuruko, Kona-chan, over here!" Nagayama Naoki waved to signal that he had arrived.

"Brother!" "Naoki-niichan~"

Oh, those youthful voices~

Two young girls had arrived!

"Tsuruko and Kona-chan, let's go home first. Mother specifically told me to call her as soon as you arrive~"

"Aww, I wanted to go shopping~"

"We can go shopping after we eat~"

Tsubaki Kona interjected:

"Where do you live, Naoki-niichan?"

"Right ahead... about a ten-minute walk~"

"Is there room for Kona-chan and me? We can stay at a hotel~" This was Tsuruko...

"There's an extra room, so it's fine~"

"Have the cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloomed, Niichan?"

"They will bloom around early April. The cherry blossoms along the Meguro River are probably still two days away."

"Where are you going to take us to play these few days?"

"Huh? Don't you have any plans?"

...

As they chatted, they arrived at Nagayama Naoki's apartment. He took out the key and opened the door, and the two young girls looked around like little animals.

Nagayama Naoki put their small suitcases on the tatami in the second bedroom: "You'll sleep here tonight. The futons are in the closet, brand new, and the toiletries are in the storage cabinet."

"Do you live in such a big house alone, Niichan? How big is it, and how much is the rent?"

Tsuruko thought this house, except for not having two floors, seemed even bigger than their old home in Shizuoka.

"About 20 tatami mats. I haven't rented it out, so I don't know how much it would rent for." Nagayama Naoki was busy calling home to report their safe arrival and casually brushed off the question.

"Not rented out? Is the landlord letting you stay for free?"

"What are you talking about? This is my house."

"Eh?!!!" x2

"Brother, did you buy this house yourself?!" Tsuruko was surprised.

"Yes, didn't I tell you before?" The call finally went through, "Mother, I've picked up Tsuruko."

"Hi, Kona-chan is here too. They're both fine and have arrived safely."

"Tsuruko is right here, you can talk to her~"

Then he handed the phone to Tsuruko: "Mother! Niichan bought a house in Tokyo!!!"

On the other end, Nagayama Nanae: "?"

After a long conversation, the matter was finally explained, and then it was Kona-chan's turn to call home and report their safe arrival, which also involved a lot of chatter.

Next time Nagayama Naoki returned to his hometown, he would probably hear, "Other people's children have already bought a house in Tokyo!"

If these two knew that he also had a disco club almost ready for renovation and two more properties in the process of transfer, the hometown would probably spread rumors like "The Nagayama family has produced a tycoon..."

After that, Tsuruko and Kona wandered around the room, even going to the bathroom several times...

"Enough, you two!"

Nagayama saw them open the bathroom door for the fourth time and finally couldn't help but stop them, "Come over and sit down!"

The two young girls' faces were flushed with excitement: "How can Naoki-niichan be so rich?" "Is filming GG so profitable?"

Nagayama Naoki was helpless: "Not that profitable... Didn't I tell you before? I wrote a song for Matsuda Seiko, and it became a big hit..."

"Then you bought this apartment?"

Tsubaki Kona was there, so he didn't need to go into too much detail: "Something like that~"

Tsuruko was full of confidence: "So writing songs is so profitable? I will definitely create songs in the future!"

"Even Niichan's songs can become hits, so I, a top student, will definitely be fine!"

"Calm down first..." Nagayama Naoki was about to get drinks from the fridge, "Kona-chan, do you want one?"

"Yes! Is it the one from the GG you filmed?"

"I think so. I drank too much when filming GG and didn't restock." Sure enough, there were a few bottles left, which he gave to the two.

Tsubaki Kona gossiped at this point: "Naoki-niichan, is what the magazine said true?"

"What did it say?"

"About Higuchi Kanako's love affair~"

"Kona, didn't I tell you it's not true, not true!" Tsuruko interjected, "You don't believe me!"

"What can I do? First, they were seen shopping together, and the couple in the MV acted so passionately. Falling in love on set happens all the time~" Tsubaki Kona was clearly a fan of the couple.

"Naoki-niichan is so handsome," Kona's face turned red, "and so well-matched with Kanako-san~"

"Ah... This is just the magazine making things up. Don't you know the tone of entertainment magazines?"

Nagayama Naoki was a bit helpless, "If we're talking about real time, I've only met Kanako-san three times~"

"Aww~" x2, Tsuruko, what are you disappointed about...

"Alright, alright, let's tidy up, and I'll take you to eat!"

To avoid continuing this topic, Nagayama Naoki changed the subject, "Then we'll go to the pedestrian zone in the afternoon~"

"Okay~" x2
