Chapter 51 – The First Purchase from the System Shop

The sunlight crept softly through the shoji screen windows of their ryokan suite, casting a warm glow over the tatami floor. Phuby stretched slightly on the futon, his body still wrapped in the comfort of post-wedding bliss. Hana, now officially Zahra Yamamoto in Islam—though still called Hana by everyone who knew her—was curled beside him, her face peaceful, reflecting the joy of yesterday's ceremony.

But Phuby's mind had already drifted into something else entirely.

The system, which had remained quiet since the wedding, finally sent a notification early in the morning.

> 🔔 System Update: "Congratulations on your marriage!"

A special late wedding gift has been activated. The [Shop] feature is now available.

You may now browse and purchase properties, businesses, or objects from locations you've visited.

✦ Locations unlocked: Cirebon, Tokyo, Kyoto

✦ Items are available at a special discount tailored to your current balance.

✦ Cashback still applies. Rules unchanged: Minimum Rp10.000.000 purchase, Cashback = 2x value.

✦ Shop refreshes every week with new listings.

✦ All purchases include instant legal ownership documents, which appear near you upon purchase.

Phuby sat up, blinking at the message. His balance, after all previous transactions, stood at:

> 💰 Current Balance: Rp12.758.000.000

He almost laughed out loud. "This system really never stops giving me surprises."

Beside him, Hana stirred and blinked her eyes open. "Hmm? What's up?"

Phuby hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell her everything.

"I just got a system update," he said. "It added a shop... where I can buy things—like houses, buildings, or land—in places we've visited. Cirebon, Tokyo, Kyoto. All discounted to what I can afford. If I buy, I get double cashback again."

Hana sat up quickly, now wide awake. "Wait, so… you can buy a house here in Kyoto through the system?"

Phuby nodded. "I want to test it. There's a listing here for a traditional house near the Gion district. Beautiful architecture. It's Rp5.000.000.000 after the discount."

"And you'd get ten billion cashback?"

"Exactly."

Hana's eyes widened. "Then what are you waiting for?"

Phuby chuckled, opened the interface mentally, and browsed the listings. The house he mentioned was there:

> Kyoto Traditional Villa – Gion District

✦ Discounted Price: Rp5.000.000.000

✦ Cashback: Rp10.000.000.000

✦ Ownership transfer: Instant

"Alright… let's see if this really works."

He clicked "Buy."

The moment he did, a faint shimmer appeared at the side of the room. Two thick envelopes dropped silently onto the low wooden table—a stack of fully notarized and translated ownership documents, verified under Japanese property law.

Phuby stared, stunned for a moment. Hana gasped.

"It's… real," she whispered.

Then another notification came:

> ✅ Purchase Complete

✅ Cashback: Rp10.000.000.000 Credited

💰 New Balance: Rp17.758.000.000

Hana's jaw dropped.

Phuby just grinned. "I guess I own a house in Kyoto now."

They laughed together, still half in disbelief.

Then Hana paused. "If that works… I know something else."

"What?"

"I want us to get some land in the countryside near Kyoto," she said, her voice quiet. "Not just a house, but a piece of nature we can go to whenever we need peace. Somewhere green, quiet, with maybe cherry blossoms. Not now, but when you're ready…"

Phuby smiled. "Then we'll check the listings again tomorrow. For now, this test shows that everything works just as it should."

He leaned back on the futon, the ownership papers now lying on the table beside them like a strange dream made real.

Hana reached out and held his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. "This really is just the beginning for us, huh?"

"Yes," Phuby said with a smile. "And this system... might just be building us a whole world."
