When Azuma asked the broker for the cheapest option in the areas near Orion High, she had a tight-lipped smile.
"Oh, were the options I just showed too expensive for you?" she had asked.
"Yes."
Azuma replied through the video call.
In the end, the house was most likely going to become another disposable residence. Why bother with extra comfort in an expensive city?
"Fineeee," The broker rolled her eyes, "There is only one place that is cheaper. But it's too cramped and the previous owner left it in a messy state so you'll have to wait three days."
"I will clean it," Azuma had already lost his house and the hotel rooms didn't offer him much anonymity.
"..."
"Just leave it as it is," Azuma added.
"Whatever."
And thus, Azuma secured a deal with a cheap apartment. He had some vague thoughts about how it might turn out but he never thought that the place would be an office for some e-gamers.
