Since childhood, Yu Bai has had a process of understanding the issue of appearance. But in reality, there is no exaggerated phenomenon in novels. Everyone still gets along with each other in a simple and boring way, so he studied it for a while and stopped caring about it.

  However, he ignored one problem. That is, he is no longer in his original condition. Different circumstances will cause subtle changes. After years of experience as Hokage, countless injuries, sword swings, fear of life and death, courage... and finally reaching a high position, Yu Bai has not Notice that the temperament of a person also shows differences in him. Most of the time it doesn't happen, but sometimes it shines brightly, attracts others, and amplifies it.

  He would later understand that Huajiang Xiaye, the future landlady, was greedy for his body when they first met, and similar issues.

  Setagaya Futomachi.

  A man and a woman are walking on the road.

  Two adults who seemed to be about the same age were walking side by side on the path between houses. The air was quiet, and they deliberately kept some distance between them.

  Huajiang Xiaye frowned, wanting to break this damn weird atmosphere, so she said with a stern expression, "Hey, let me make it clear to you, you are not living in my house, but I own a property. After work, I also I live an ordinary life collecting rent. I hope you won’t misunderstand me.”

  Yu Bai replied: “Well, you explained it very well along the way.”

  It seems that Yu Bai already knew the name because of his surprising words. , a woman named Natsuye Hanae (the two introduced themselves), on the way to the apartment building, tried her best to make various supplementary explanations about "come and live at my place".

  It's not a single room for a white-collar worker, it's an apartment. If you want to come to my room, you have to knock on the door first... No, you can't come casually. You must pay back the money you owe. Then I do this without any other ideas. , just to keep an eye on your debt repayment, and to prevent someone from running away and there happens to be a small room left in the apartment. By chance, you asked again, so I kindly suggested that you come and move in under my name...

  and so on.

  Yu Bai's ears were about to get calluses when he heard it. He even almost knew the origin of the other party's property and the information about his ancestor, Grandpa Balabala. He didn't want to hear it, and it was hard to interrupt. Who told him to eat others and take advantage of others?

  Fortunately, it's finally quiet now.

  "Just turn left ahead and you'll be there."

  Huajiang Xiaye said.

  Yu Bai: "Yeah."

  She peeked at him. She was so tired from talking that she didn't have the energy to complain.

  You're too calm. Normally, shouldn't you care about the integrity in your sentences? At least he declined or was polite, and he agreed without even hesitating. It was as natural as taking a taxi.

  If Yu Bai heard what Huajiang Xiaye was thinking, he would definitely shake his head. Faced with that situation, would a grown man have any reason to refuse?

  After turning the corner, Yu Bai saw the apartment. It was an old building with a style that resembled that of the turn of the century. It only had four floors. The walls, doors, paint, etc. were in relatively average maintenance. According to the general environment of less land and high space utilization, it was squeezed between houses and was smaller than ordinary buildings. The residential buildings are better, but they are far behind compared to the high-end commercial buildings, like a short and fat man.

  When we get here, we have strayed away from the central area of the metropolitan area. It can be said that it is a relatively remote suburb of Tokyo. The road has become narrow, with no more than two cars passing each other, and many infrastructures look old.

  "Very good." Yu Bai said.

  Huajiang Xiaye nodded, crossed her chest and looked at it, "Thank you."

  Yu Bai tilted his head. The other person was wearing professional attire and facing his building. He no longer looked like a clerk but a president. In fact, this was correct, even if It doesn't look good. In Tokyo, where land is at a premium, this building is worth as much as a company.

  "Everyday life is okay. There is a convenience store opposite and a large supermarket nearby. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to walk to the nearest subway, and taxis and buses are not convenient." "

  That's great." Yu Baixiang Looking around, "Landlord, what number do I live in?"

  Huajiang Xiaye suddenly looked a little hesitant, coughed slightly and said, "No number."

  "..."

  She waved her hand, gesturing for Yu Bai to follow. , they passed an open space and entered the apartment. The woman took out the key and opened a room on the first floor.

  "This is it."

  It's obvious that no one has been in the room for a long time. The air is dull and it feels cramped without furniture. Huajiang Xiaye showed it a little bit. It has an area of four and a half stacks. The entrance hall is shared with the bathroom, and it is a mini one bedroom and one bathroom. . To sum up, it is very small, you can sleep there, but don’t think about doing anything else.

  "This used to be a utility room, but it wasn't used very frequently, so I tidied it up last year." Huajiang Xiaye introduced the origin of this room in a few words, without mentioning the fact that no one was renting the house. All the rooms are full, only this one is left, I kid you not."

  Yu Bai turned around with his hands behind his back, well, turning around was a polite word, and basically stayed where he was.

  To be honest, Huajiang Xiaye was a little uneasy, although she understood that she didn't need to bear any burden.

  "It's good." Beyond her expectation, the man said seriously, "The floor and walls are very clean. I can see that the owner is very careful when cleaning. If you want some air, just open the window and blow in."

  With that, Yu Bai opened the door The cool breeze blew in from the small window on the wall facing the door, which also meant that he was willing to live here in his heart.

  "Thank you, Huajiang."

  The man's expression was still calm, but he was so determined, as if with an affirmative look that suddenly moved Huajiang Xiaye a little. This small house was indeed made by her on a temporary basis. , but when she really wiped and cleaned every corner, no one who came to see the house mentioned this. This complimentary detail made her mood improve unconsciously.

  "No, it's nothing. Of course women are good at housework..."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  Yu Bai: "How much is the monthly rent? And you know that I have no money now... I may have to continue to owe you."

  On the first day, he was asked about the money . After being knocked down several times, he was still not ready. After jumping off the tower, he should not go sightseeing, but should get rid of Bao Anliang first.

  Huajiang Xiaye saw a trace of annoyance on the man's face and comforted her, "It doesn't matter. I've been mentally prepared for this since I brought you here."

  "As for the rent... it's not expensive. After all, it's just a room like this." She considered it. She spit out a number, which was far lower than the average house price in Tokyo, but she didn't see any reaction from the man, and she was numb.

  After seeing the house and making an agreement, there was a process of getting to know each other, rather than a dramatic process. Huajiang Xiaye felt a little more familiar with the relationship between the landlord and the tenant.

  After giving the key, Yu Bai stood alone on the small and empty four-and-a-half-fold tatami, thinking about how to get the money. Huajiang Xiaye came back and brought a set of bedding.

  "This seems embarrassing."

  "My relatives from the countryside occasionally use it when they come to Tokyo, so you don't have to worry about it." Natsuye Hanae found a place under the window against the wall and spread a quilt.

  "Then I'll trouble you." Yu Bai didn't show any pretense, "Shall I make the quilt myself?"

  Huajiang Xiaye's hand movements suddenly stagnated.

  She stood up silently and went out. Yu Bai saw that the root of the woman's neck was a little red.

  With the mattress, the room looked a little bit like it. When the landlady, who was sure that she was not too smart, walked away, Yu Bai snapped his fingers, and a drop of water suddenly condensed in the air, floating in the air, and then more water appeared out of thin air. Appears, and finally forms into a fist-sized water ball. As soon as he thought about it, the water quickly rolled across every dusty spot in the room as if it were spiritual, automatically adsorbing it.

  This is just a matter of habit. Men should be kind to themselves if they can.

  After swiping the water ball to the bathroom, Yu Bai stood alone on the small and empty four-and-a-half-fold tatami for the second time, thinking about the way to get the money.

  Choose the fast one or the slow one?

  If fast, how fast?

  This is a problem.

  After the stale smell in the room was almost gone, Yu Bai closed the doors and windows again. He lay there for a while. The quilt was neat and thick, covering him very warmly. It was the woman's fragrance that made him feel uneasy.

  There was a small bag placed on the tatami beside it, similar to the style of a waist bag, which was easy to carry. Apart from the clothes Yu Bai wore, this was the only thing Yu Bai brought from the Hokage.

  It has another name, Ninja Tool Bag.

  Yu Bai looked at the ninja tool bag, which was engraved with intensive spells. Today he kept it on his waist. To ordinary people, it seemed to be full of trendy prints.

  Space Ninjutsu is one of Yu Bai's best abilities. The intensive spells are full of weapons and medicines, but there are no gold or gems. Occupational diseases are harmful to people.

  Thinking about the scenery I saw during the day, the lights at night, and what I saw and heard, the most profound impression was the fare.

  Before Huajiang Xiaye left, she settled the score with him.

  The taxi cost was 32,000 yen, excluding the other person's seat and any fractions. The rent was 40,000 yen per month. Yu Bai could see that the kind-hearted landlord had tried his best to avoid many unnecessary expenses for him. What about gift money, deposit, rent, agency fee, cleaning fee, key fee, insurance fee, property fee... After hearing this, Yu Bai simply nodded lightly.

  Adding all the miscellaneous things together, Yu Bai currently owes a total debt of: 150,000 yen.

  He reached into his bag, took out a knife, and put it back.

  "Selling knives... is not enough."

  A restless blade flashed inside.

  "Let's talk about it later."

  "..."

  The first night back, I had a little trouble sleeping.

  It was about nine o'clock at this time, which was not too late.

  Yu Bai stood up, put away his keys and decided to go out for a walk.

  Before going out, he looked back at the space ninja tool bag with the engraved technique, but he didn't bring it with him.

  The location of his room is at the left end of the first floor of the apartment. There are several other rooms on the first floor, but they are all useful and not occupied. It can be said that it is an exclusive floor. This floor is not big, and Yu Bai can reach it within a few steps. It's outside.

  "It's really convenient..."

  He muttered, breathing the night air in front of the apartment space.

  Many of the low-rise buildings in Wuyang are the same rental apartments, inhabited by ordinary office workers or students. He looked up at his apartment. He was short, fat and old, with quite distinctive features. "That woman named Hanae is young and working. She is actually a tenant. She really can't be judged by her appearance."

  I have a friend in Tokyo . Yu Bai, who was heavily in debt, was a little envious of the building.

  The design of the Huajiang Apartment is in line with the Tongzi Building. The long corridor is ventilated at both ends, that is, the aisles and balconies on each floor are together. At this moment, the lights in half of the rooms were on, and Yu Bai saw a girl walking out of the house and putting away the clothes hanging outside.

  Yu Bai couldn't help but be attracted. When he looked at it, he suddenly felt that the clothes were very distinctive, with less fabric and bright colors, very much like those from the legend...

  He was about to take a closer look, but the girl who lived on the fourth floor was... Found him.

  "Yeah!"

  Her eyebrows are fresh, she has some baby fat, and her supple and natural skin should be that of a girl. The man's double ponytail hair style seemed to be frightened, and it swung around. In fact, it suddenly accelerated the speed of putting away the clothes.

  "..."

  Yu Bai felt that he didn't see anything he shouldn't have seen, but he didn't look at anything inappropriate. He lowered his gaze calmly and walked out of the road.

  Sato Liusu was furious. He turned away and hid all his clothes, then hid behind the wall. Recalling the thrilling scene just now, she saw the man's face. At the critical moment, she stopped shouting the word "pervert". What a blessing.

  Oops, she just took off her makeup, and there is a nasty pimple on her chin, but the light is not good at night... should it be okay?

  After a few seconds of calm, she held the clothes and stuck her head out to observe. The peeping guy had turned his back to her and walked away.

  The other party ran away.

  Feeling relieved, Sato Liusu put the clothes into the basin with a puzzled face.

  That person came out of the apartment, was he the new tenant?

  ...

  Yu Bai walked a short distance and reached an intersection, and then saw a 24-hour convenience store opposite.

  He remembered the landlord's words, and his eyes suddenly paused. A familiar figure stood across the road, Huajiang Xiaye, carrying a bag.

  He waved, and the other party saw him, and responded after being stunned.

  Yu Bai saw that the other person seemed to have just come out of a convenience store. When the traffic light passed and the person came closer, he said, "Huajiang Landlord, did you buy something tonight?"

  "Yes." The other person stopped in front of him and put his hands behind his back. He hummed softly.

  Under the dim street lights, Yu Bai saw that Huajiang Xiaye's face was much cleaner. It seemed that it had been re-dressed, and the makeup of a crying girl was gone, and the charm of a mature woman emerged.

  "Take it."

  Huajiang Xiaye handed the bag to Yu Bai nonchalantly.

  Before asking any questions, she immediately said, "I saw that you were alone, with your mobile phone, wallet... and nothing. Today you have become a new member of the apartment calendar... so I bought you some daily necessities."

  "..."

  Hua Seeing that the air was quiet, Jiang Xiaye hurriedly said: "Money is included in the debt. Don't worry about face at this time. Let's live life step by step. If you still feel it's inappropriate..."

  After Yu Bai listened quietly, he stared at Holding the bag, I thought for a while and came up with a truth.

  "Landlord Huajiang, you are so kind to me."

  Huajiang Xiaye's momentum suddenly weakened.

  "By the way, the rental contract is too late today, right? Why don't you get it tomorrow? That's what I'm going to do... Do you have your personal number card? If not, other identification will do. Oh, I almost forgot. , Judging from Yu Bai’s unreliable attributes since we met, you probably still have nothing. That would be really troublesome,” said Huajiang Xiaye.

  A personal number card is something similar to an ID card. Yu Bai really didn’t.

  After hearing this, Yu Bai scratched his head and did not dwell on the embarrassment in other people's words, because he himself was very embarrassed, yes, identification.

  As well as all the subsequent life here... let him take a trip tomorrow.

  Yu Bai smiled at Huajiang Xiaye.

  At this moment, it was about nine o'clock in the evening. March 2020, spring.

  The slightly chilly night wind blew from the other end of the street, lifting the tips of Huajiang Xiaye's hair. The other party held the messed up hair with his hand, covering up his shame with a gentle smile. At least in my impression, it belonged to a woman. Beautiful smile. Yu Bai was also laughing. Based on the vicissitudes of his past career as a ninja, he felt that there was nothing safer than waiting with someone at the intersection, talking about trivial matters, or carrying a bag and having an ambiguous relationship. He didn't think much, and he didn't bother to think. He was simply doing nothing.

  This was Yu Bai's first day in the world, a world he was familiar with and familiar with.

  However, at this moment, everything stopped, and people and things did not move forward one step further.

  Pfft,

  tsk~

  blood spattered on Yu Bai's face.
