Ch.015 Buying the house across from Kudo Shinichi.

Following their date, Takuya rode with Miwako in her Mazda to Beika Town.

Takuya had already made an appointment with the real estate agent to meet here at five o'clock.

Upon arriving in Beika Town, second block, Miwako located a public parking area and parked.

"Thinking of buying a house in Beika Town?" Miwako asked after stepping out of the car.

Here, the neighborhood consisted of single-family houses; some were modest two-story homes, others more elaborate, resembling self-built villas, all with a unique character.

Some high-end apartments in the country offer expansive living spaces and resort-style amenities, making them comparable to, or even exceeding, the value of many villas.

High-end apartments, after all, are typically situated in desirable areas and feature luxurious decor, from bespoke furniture to exquisite artwork.

The cost of villas is undeniably high; it's not a matter of affordability.

You need to see what kind of villa it is. A house with a long mortgage history and conventional wooden construction will undoubtedly be inexpensive.

Even if they were to sell all their possessions, most people couldn't afford the lavish villa owned by Suzuki Sonoko's family, a symbol of immense wealth and privilege.

"Yep, right here. I've scheduled a meeting with the realtor. Come with me. "

Takuya spontaneously took Miwako's hand. Miwako has become accustomed to it.

When it comes to dating, hand-holding is a common gesture, and she personally finds Takuya to be a good person.

" Excuse me, are you Mr. Fujiwara? I work at Tokyo Real Estate Center as a real estate agent; my name is Tanaka."

A middle-aged man, smartly dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, came running from a distance and performed a deep bow.

We can learn a lot from Takuya, especially his dedication to a simple life. He will calmly accept future 90-degree bows from others.

Don't expect him to bow that deeply to others. With his newfound influence, he no longer needs to bow down deeply to anyone; it is uncharacteristic of him.

"I am Fujiwara Takuya. Have you tracked down the villa and manor I wanted? "

" Mr. Fujiwara, I've found it. It's in Beika ward of Beika Town. A family is selling its house to move overseas. "

With a real estate book held tightly, Tanaka Mayama's happiness was evident.

'Mr. Fujiwara had very demanding requirements. A hefty commission awaited him once the highly profitable deal was finalized.'

He recently bought a house, and he has not yet settled the mortgage. If the agreement is finalized, his mortgage will be covered for a atleast a year.

"Take me directly to the top choice. "

"Please come with me, Mr. Fujiwara. Covering over 2,000 square meters, Villa 24 stands out as the best option. This expansive property includes a large garden, vegetable garden, orchard, and grove, along with a two-story house and a 1,000 square-meter building site. "

Tanaka introduced the estate to Takuya seriously, and the more he spoke, the more envious of them he became. He also wanted to buy such a large manor, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it in this lifetime.

'Miwako's listening made her feel something was off. That introduction was ridiculously lavish; could Takuya afford it?'

Besides, Takuya doesn't even own a car; he takes the subway to work.

"Officer Fujiwara, this place must cost a fortune. Can our family afford it? " asked Sato Miwako in a low voice .

It seems she didn't pay any attention and accidentally called it their home, thinking it was their wedding home and treated Takuya's as her own family. It made Takuya super happy.

'Mr. Tanaka perked up his ears. Mr. Fujiwara is actually a police officer. Is a police officer able to afford that?'

It's not that he has a low opinion of the police. High-ranking police officers reside in the ward near headquarters.

Most police officers' salaries wouldn't allow for the purchase of such a lavish, sprawling estate.

"Don't worry, I have an uncle who doesn't have any heirs. I am his sole surviving relative, the last of our family. His trust fund provides me with a generous monthly allowance. "

Takuya honestly didn't lie.

His Black Centurion card was connected to a fictitious second uncle who had supposedly set up a trust fund.

"Is your uncle very rich? " exclaimed Sato Miwako.

Although she didn't know Takuya's exact monthly trust fund income, the sheer cost of that enormous manor—with its towering columns and sprawling gardens—was undoubtedly astronomical.

Mr. Tanaka was incredibly envious. Why didn't he have a rich uncle?

" Mr. Fujiwara, we're here. This is the manor, Beika Town 2-24, 2nd Block, House Number 24. "

"Is it this massive?"

Sato Miwako took a breath.

Despite the area's seemingly large size, she was still surprised to see it in person.

A three-meter-high wall, thick and imposing, is topped by a massive four-meter-long iron gate. The gate is approached by a concrete path, with steps running alongside.

The first area is a large, neatly trimmed, verdant meadow.

There are flowers all over the second area. Many flowers are in bloom due to the summer season. It was a beautiful scene; colorful flowers were in full bloom, and numerous butterflies danced around them.

Birds occasionally fly past the numerous fruit and evergreen trees on the building's two outer areas.

In the third phase, a small vegetable garden, protected by surrounding tiles against summer downpours and soil erosion, was constructed.

She didn't see the back of the manor, but guessed there would be trees. Naturally, the center is a residential zone.

The building is surprisingly tall, considering it only has two floors. The ceiling of the first floor is five meters high. The two floors are as large as a five-story building.

" Is this our wedding home? "

Miwako Sato let slip about the wedding home without realizing it.

She was so shocked that she forgot that she and Takuya were just boyfriend and girlfriend, and they had just gone on their first date today.

The thought of raising a family in that immense house, filled with the sounds of Takuya and their children playing, warmed her heart.

"Indeed, it's quite large. "

Takuya, too, was shocked. Previously, he owned a house exceeding 130 square meters, located in a standard third-tier city, having put down 40% of the price as down payment.

Although the common area is just 20 square meters, the usable space totals 115 square meters.

While he's virtually toured luxury homes using AR on property websites, this is his first time witnessing a luxury house of this scale in person.

The sheer scale of the building is immense, comparable to those he remembers from his past.

Living in such a huge manor, does he really deserve it?

"Oh, and by the way, it's a lovely, quiet neighborhood, and to top it all off, the famous Kudo Shinichi, a real-life hero to the police, lives just across the street. " Tanaka explained proudly.

Takuya and Miwako's faces fell at the same moment.

Despite both being police officers, Tanaka Mayama continues to publicly praise Kudo as the police's savior.

This is a deeply offensive and disrespectful act.

A few words into his conversation, Tanaka suddenly realized he was speaking to two police officers. Was this considered a slap in their face?

He paid attention and saw that both Takuya and Miwako seemed unhappy.

'He meant to pat the horse, but accidentally hit its leg.'

Turning around, Takuya saw the mansion across the way. It looked strangely familiar. That manor is likely the Kudo Shinichi family residence.

What a coincidence, I became Kudo Shinichi's neighbor.

The Kudo family manor depicted in the anime, though luxurious, appeared somewhat less impressive than the house Takuya was viewing.

"What is the area's precise measurement? " asked Takuya .

Since Fujiwara Takuya didn't appear angry, Tanaka promptly offered an explanation.

"It's significantly larger than its neighbor's—Kudo Shinichi's house—exceeding it by 800 square meters, with a total area of over 2,800 square meters. This mansion was built on two plots of land purchased by the former owner. "

[That's all for Now]
