Landlord Simulator

"Is the house already rented?" Nino looked surprised, "Why didn't I know?"

Yotsuba was curious: "I don't know either."

Itsuki: "I haven't heard of it either."

"That's the house I rented with Miku." Naoki took a sip of ice water with a calm expression, "You guys are usually very busy, so I didn't tell you about such trivial matters."

"Renting a house is no small matter!"

Nino couldn't help complaining, folded his arms across his chest, and looked at Miku with doubt in his eyes: "Why didn't Miku say it?"

"Maybe want to surprise everyone?"

Ichika guessed with a smile.

"There's still Ichika." Miku slightly puffed out her cheeks. "Ichika also knows about this."

She couldn't be the only one in charge.

It's time for her, the black hand behind the scenes, to be exposed!

"Ah~ I accidentally opened it." Ichika lightly turned her attention "Un, it was actually Asakawa-kun who wanted to surprise everyone."

"What's the surprise?" Yotsuba turned her head curiously.

"Mysterious." Nino's brow wrinkled slightly, "How was the surprise?"

Naoki said seriously: "Then I will apologize every minute."

"Tsk." Nino lifted his chin slightly, "Don't let everyone down."

"At a time like this, I have to say..." Yotsuba crossed her fingers and said in a deep voice, "Young man, you have successfully piqued my interest."

You sports idiot, don't pretend to be a domineering president!

Naoki drank the last mouthful of ice water: "Let's go."

Exit the restaurant.

A cold wind blew ahead.

"Huuu..."

Miku breathed a sigh of relief, raising her hand to hold her hair in the wind: "It's so cold."

Nino: "Definitely much warmer than Hokkaido."

"It's cold in Hokkaido, but beautiful at night." Yotsuba said enthusiastically, "Especially when it snows at night, it feels like a fairytale world."

Naoki looked at Yotsuba, and said meaningfully: "Does Yotsuba want Tokyo to snow?"

"Eh?"

Yotsuba was taken aback, her expression clearly agitated.

She had only been playing in Hokkaido for three days, and it was far from time to get tired of looking at the snow.

"Don't try to bully Yotsuba."

Nino dodged to block Yotsuba and glared at Naoki.

Naoki just tricked herself and Miku into wearing a bunny girl uniform, and now he wants to bully Yotsuba, why doesn't he want everyone to cosplay as a bunny girl, then stand in line and let him choose!

Miku tilted her head, eyeing Nino suspiciously.

Such a strong reaction... Did Nino do something wrong?

Talking all the way, Naoki takes the Quintuplets to the train station

Not long after the evening rush hour, there were still many passengers on the train, and the seats were all gone, Naoki and the Quintuplets were standing together at the back door.

As the train closed, Naoki suddenly stared, quickly reached out, and hugged Nino.

"Ummm..."

The sudden feeling made Nino lose his mind for half a second, and when she regained his senses, she quickly stretched out his hand to support Naoki's chest: "What are you doing!"

It's not that there are only two people, but everyone is there, so I can hug you as soon as you say, I don't want to lose face!

Several other girls looked at one after another.

"Asakawa-kun is getting impatient, are you ready to attack Nino?" Ichika raised her hand to cover her lips "It's in the train, so people will see."

"A lot of people have already looked up, okay?"

Nino gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Asakawa-san, why are you suddenly hugging Nino?" Itsuki asked in a confused tone.

Yotsuba pondered: "...Must be some special reason?"

This was on the train, bullying Nino all over, Yotsuba couldn't believe Naoki would do such a thing at all.

"You should thank me." Naoki looked at Nino, "When the door was closed just now, your hair almost caught in the door."

"Eh?"

Nino was shocked, turned his head and looked behind her, and behind her was the train door.

"I can testify." Miku said "Nino's hair is too long, it's really going to get caught by the train door just now."

In fact, without Miku's testimony, Nino already believed Naoki's words.

Her hair was very long, and this wasn't the first time she had bothered to accidentally get caught in a train door.

"Oh, I see." Itsuki suddenly realized, "This isn't the first time Nino's hair has gotten caught in a train door."

"I remember that happened in junior high school." Ichika held her chin with her right hand and recalled, "When I was shopping with Nino, on the way home, Nino's hair got caught in the door, and couldn't get it out, then my things fell on the ground, Nino finally screamed anxiously."

"I never cry!" Nino blushed and quickly denied, "You must have misremembered!"

Naoki looked at Nino in surprise.

Her reaction was so strong... Was she really crying?

Feeling Naoki's gaze, Nino pinched Naoki's chest angrily.

"It doesn't hurt at all." Naoki blinked "I wear a lot of clothes."

"...Hate!"

"It's dangerous to get your hair caught in the train doors." Itsuki looked at Nino "Have you considered cutting it shorter?"

"It's really hard to maintain it for so long, I don't want to cut it." Nino shook his head, "Besides, being caught by the carriage door is only a small possibility, and it doesn't happen often, I remember the last time it happened was in June..."

In the middle of talking, Nino suddenly raised his eyes to look at Naoki.

he remembered.

The last time when her hair got caught in the train door, Naoki was by her side, but she didn't like it at the time, and everyone else wasn't by her side either.

Past and present overlap.

Nino suddenly had a subtle feeling of passing time and time in his heart. She was in a trance for a while, and subconsciously said:

"Stupid Asakawa, do you still remember…"

Naoki asked, "Remember what?"

"... There isn't any."

Nino looked away.

It's been a long time, not remembering is normal, and she just remembered it.

The next moment.

A soft voice entered Nino's ear: "Cream puff?"

Nina suddenly looked up, her blue eyes were full of sparkling light, and her tone was surprised: "You still remember?"

"My memory has always been very good." Naoki whispered, "After all, the girl whose hair is stuck in the door is only you."

"Hmph, I really am sorry."

Nino wanted to pretend to be angry, but couldn't help but smile.

She accidentally got her hair caught in the door, and then the puff of cream fell to the floor, and she couldn't bend down to pick it up… It was a very embarrassing thing at the time, but when you think about it, there's only so much fun left.

Time passed, years passed.

The most important people were always by his side, and she felt very comfortable.

"How long will you two be hugging each other?"

Miku is not happy.

"Nino." Ichika said in an irritated tone "How about keeping some distance from Asakawa-kun?"

"It wasn't my fault." Nino's face felt hot, and he gently pushed Naoki's chest with both hands, "You step back a bit."

"I can't back down." Naoki wore an innocent expression, "Someone is standing behind me."

Yotsuba exclaimed, "What are you using?"

Nino's expression was complicated: "Yotsuba, you actually..."

"I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Yotsuba hurriedly denied, and quickly said: "When I got on the train before, something similar happened."

"Eh?" Itsuki was surprised "Did Yotsuba meet a pervert?"

"When did it happen?" Naoki frowned.

"That's an elementary school student's umbrella!" Yotsuba raised her voice, "That's not what you think!"

....

20 minutes later.

"You can get off the train." Naoki reminded.

Six people got off the train.

"Is this the place?" Nino pulled his luggage in a confused tone, "Why does it feel familiar?"

Miku said: "The train station has been rebuilt. If we walk a little further, we will get to know him better."

Nino didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Miku: "You will find out later."

"Here is..."

Yotsuba opened her eyes wide, and already recognized where it was.

On the night she passes her re-exam during summer break, she gets on the train with Naoki, and the two of them swing together in the park under the moonlight.

"Asakawa-san?" Yotsuba couldn't help but turn around.

Naoki nodded silently.

After a while.

Seeing the increasingly familiar streets and buildings in front of them, Nino and Itsuki finally recognized the place.

"A-Asakawa-san?"

Itsuki stopped in his tracks, covered his chest with his right hand, and stared at Naoki excitedly.

Nino's eyelashes continued to flutter: "Stupid Asakawa, could it be that the house you're renting is..."

"Not until." Naoki waved his hand "Come on."

Next, there was no need to take the lead, Itsuki walked in front excitedly, his pace quickened, and finally ran into the ordinary one-house building, eagerly looking at the name of the head of the household on the mailbox, it has been replaced with 'Nakano' .

"Itsuki, go open the door."

Naoki took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Itsuki.

Itsuki took the key from Naoki, and headed up the stairs.

Push the door.

Itsuki found the switch on the wall in memory, and pressed it lightly with his finger.

The light is on to dispel the darkness.

Seeing the furniture of the house that was exactly the same as the memory, Itsuki's eyes quickly filled with tears.

"How could it be..." Nino's black hair ornament shook slightly, and said in disbelief, "How can it be exactly the same as when we were kids?"

"Exactly the same." Yotsuba opened her eyes wide and muttered, "That hasn't changed at all."

Ichika smiled and leaned against the door, not saying a word.

"Reckless Asakawa, what happened to that house?"

Miku was on the edge, and couldn't help but tilt her head to look at Naoki, she was beside him when the contract was signed, so of course she wouldn't be as excited as Itsuki and the others.

But why had the house suddenly become exactly the same as when they were kids?

After the others move in, shouldn't it be empty?

"Have you ever played the newly released game "Landlord Simulator"?" Naoki looked at Miku.

"Play it." Miku replied, "I felt a bit boring, so I deleted it... What are you asking for this for?"

It's not that the game is boring, but you have too many "favorite" games, so you can't play them!

Naoki said offhandedly: "As a landlord, it's normal to try to increase the happiness of the tenants, right?"

Miku: "😐"

Naoki often goes in and out of the Quintuplets' childhood home in the dream world, and he is familiar with household furniture.

The family from the upper family moved out a few days ago, and Naoki asked them to evacuate their things, then ordered furniture online, and came to arrange it in the evening.

If ever there was a home that would satisfy Quintuplets, it's definitely here.

The Quintuplets lived in this room during their childhood. If their mother had not suddenly contracted an incurable disease, they should still be living here now, every bit of their eyes a memory.

Raising his hand to wipe his eyes, Itsuki stepped into the hallway: "Mom, I'm back."

Yotsuba: "I'm back."

Miku: "I'm back."

Nino: "I'm back."

Ichika: "I'm back."

Naoki walked in last, closed the door, and was about to take off his shoes, when he suddenly found the Quintuplets staring at him, and blurted out, "I don't think that's appropriate?"

Ichika said seriously: "Asakawa-kun, please protect the formation."

"Yes... I'm back."

Go through the entrance and into the living room, where there is a kotatsu in the center.

"The kotatsu color is exactly the same as when we were kids." Yotsuba was surprised, "Even it position hasn't changed."

"There's also a TV..." Nino pinched his eyes at the low table against the wall. Above her was an old fashioned 17-inch black and white TV, with a subtle expression, "Why didn't I realize when I was a kid that TVs are so small?"

"Right now, you should express gratitude." Naoki said, "This is a treasure I bought back from a used recycling shop."

"Tsk." Nino turned his head and whispered, "... Thank you very much."

Naoki looked at Nino, raised his hand to his ear: "I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."

"Didn't hear clearly, did you?" Nino smiled "Come closer."

Naoki approached Nino.

The next moment.

Nino stretched out his right hand and gently grabbed Naoki's ear: "Is it clear now?"

How dare you pull the landlord's ear, Fukuzawa Yukichi is useless, you have to pay the rent with your body!

"Are you satisfied with the house?" Naoki asked.

"Very satisfied." Ichika blinked slowly "Thank you Asakawa-kun for the surprise, please look forward to mine."

Tears still welled up in Itsuki's eyelashes: "Thank you, Asakawa-san."

Even Nino couldn't say no.

In a sense, this is the true home of the Quintuplets.

Naoki looks at Itsuki: "...Wipe your nose first."

"Impossible!" Itsuki quickly covered his face, "I don't have a cold!"

The task of renting a house has been completed.

"It's 8 p.m. now." Naoki glanced at the time on his cell phone, then said, "There is still class tomorrow. If it's alright, I'll be back first."

"Do not go." Itsuki suddenly shouted.

"Um?"

Itsuki's gaze was firm, without shame or aversion: "I miss mom, shall we go to the dream world to see mom at night?"

"I can't decide this matter." Naoki turned to look at Nino, and said indifferently, "What did Nino say?"

hateful.

Knowing how she would answer, but still asking such a question, it made people angry!

Nino turned his head and snorted: "I can't hear you, don't talk to me."

"Can't you hear me?"

"Can not hear."

"That's good." Naoki nodded, lowering his voice, "I like Nino."

"...shameless!"
