Mizuto was silent and stared at this young woman.
She was beautiful, no doubt about that.
Her long black hair shone radiantly under the sunlight, and her eyes were clear and narrow, giving off a strangely seductive feeling.
Still, Mizuto stepped up, causing the young woman to be tense, but then she was confused as he looked around with confusion. When she saw that he didn't do anything to her and was just looking around, she asked, "...is there something wrong?"
"No, I thought you did a prank, so I was looking for the camera."
"...." The young woman.
"I-I know that this is unbelievable, but I am serious."
It was because she was serious that Mizuto was speechless.
Why did she come to him to sell her body?
Was he like someone who would play with a prostitute?
'However, virginity, huh?'
Mizuto used his "Identify" skill and knew that she was still a virgin, which meant she was clean and had never been touched by anyone, but then, such an important thing was going to be sold to him, which made him speechless.
Nevertheless, her words also made him recall what he wanted to do in Osaka.
Trying to have a sugary baby.
Mizuto had seen many sugar babies during his stay in Osaka, and at that time, on a whim, he was thinking of keeping one as it seemed to be quite interesting. He knew that this might be despicable, but as he was like this, he thought that he should be living as he wished to instead of being shackled by social norms.
Well, nothing changed the fact that he was despicable, though.
Still, it wouldn't hurt for him to have such an experience for his future.
However, why did she do this?
No, it didn't matter what her reason was as it didn't really bother him, but one thing, he could tell that she was serious.
Still, he didn't say anything immediately but looked into her eyes.
She was startled and wanted to look away in shame, but when she thought about the situation, she forced herself to look at him, and she couldn't look away, especially when his eyes stared into her calmly, gently, yet firmly. This was the gaze of a man, she thought.
"What's your name?"
"M-My name is Akashigata Tsubaki."
'Akashigata Tsubaki?'
Mizuto felt like he had heard her name somewhere, but he decided to forget it as sometimes many people had similar names. "My name is Irido Mizuto."
"N-Nice to meet you, Irido-san."
Mizuto nodded, then asked, "How much?"
"....."
Tsubaki was in a daze as she hadn't expected that Mizuto would be so straightforward. She was prepared to say the reason, but she didn't want to talk about her situation, at least for now, so she thought for a while and said, "100,000 yen."
Hearing that answer, Mizuto fell into silence.
"...is it too much?" Tsubaki asked worriedly. She knew that Mizuto was just a high school student, and frankly, she chose him because she wanted her first time to be wonderful. Still, she also felt like the money she asked him was quite a lot, as 100,000 yen wasn't something that could be taken out by a high school student lightly.
"No, it's too cheap." Mizuto shook his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want it cash or transfer?"
"...cash."
"Okay, wait here."
Watching Mizuto enter his house, Tsubaki somehow became anxious, wondering whether he would report her, but then, she felt like she could trust him, so she just stayed there in silence, waiting for a while until he returned.
Mizuto didn't say much nonsense and took a wad of money to Tsubaki.
"Here is one million yen. If it isn't enough, just tell me."
"...."
Tsubaki looked at the money in her hands and felt at a loss.
How did 100,000 yen become 1 million yen?
"This... this is too much..." Tsubaki looked at Mizuto with a panicked expression.
"You don't want to?"
Tsubaki fell in silence, then bowed her head. "Thank you."
"No problem."
"Then... should we go now? My house is empty now."
"No, I will do you two weeks."
"Two weeks?"
"I have something to do later, and probably, I will only have time two weeks later."
While Mizuto might be a high school student, his aura told everyone that he was different from others, and he had this aura that only came from someone from a high position, which made it easy for people to believe him.
It was also why Rinko easily believed his words previously.
The confidence and capability he exuded didn't come from fakeness but from reality before him.
"Give me your contact number."
"Okay."
The two exchanged their contact information, and Mizuto said, "You should go back now."
However, Tsubaki was in a daze and asked, "Is that okay?" She thought they would do it immediately, but she didn't expect Mizuto to leave her like this.
"What do you mean?"
"...are you just going to leave like this? Are you okay with entrusting me with so much money? Aren't you worried that I will disappear after I take your money?"
Tsubaki looked at Mizuto in wonder.
"The moment you had accepted my money, you couldn't escape from me. It was too late."
His calm eyes made her body shiver, yet instead of being scared, strangely enough, Tsubaki was excited. "I won't escape. My virginity, body, and everything is yours."
"....."
Mizuto stared at her for a while and said, "Use those two weeks to cool your mind. If you change your mind, then tell me."
"I won't." Tsubaki shook her head softly and decided to tie herself to him.
"Just wait two weeks, then." Mizuto said, "Though, don't cause trouble for me."
"I will not trouble you." Tsubaki nodded softly and said, "You can treat me like a secret lover, a mistress, a sugar baby, or a prostitute. I won't bother with your everyday life or your girlfriend. I will be obedient."
"..."
Mizuto felt like Tsubaki tried to advertise herself, which made him speechless.
Nevertheless, her words reminded him of someone, but as Yume was about to come, Tsubaki decided to leave and didn't give him time to think about who she reminded him of.
Still, Mizuto realized how helpless the world would be.
In this world, while money might not be everything, sometimes, it is just everything as everyone needs it to live.
Without money, it was just hard to live.
So, Mizuto was glad that he had the system.
"What do you think of this place?"
Yet, his plan to look for the apartment didn't stop.
Under the guidance of the real estate broker, Mizuto, Akatsuki, and Reina, they looked at the 3LDK apartment in the Sankyo Ward in Kyoto. The location was quite close to their school and the station. Moreover, one of the rooms seemed to be fully closed by a soundproof wall, which attracted Reina and made her stay in that room for a while without any intention of leaving.
In other words, it was perfect.
"Why is there such a wall in that room?" Akatsuki asked curiously.
"The owner of this apartment is a musician, and she used one of the rooms as a practice room," the female real estate broker said politely, but her eyes couldn't look away from Mizuto.
"What happened to that musician?" Mizuto asked, wondering why that female musician had decided to rent her apartment.
"She went to Viennes for work and told me she wouldn't return. If possible, she told me to search for the buyer, but it was fine to search for the renter."
"Vienne, huh?" Mizuto knew that if one wanted to spend all of their life becoming a musician, then Vienne was definitely the best destination. He looked at Reina and asked, "Do you want to visit Vienne?"
"Eh?" Reina was startled, but she thought for a while and said, "I want to visit it at least once."
Meanwhile, Akatsuki looked at Mizuto and asked, "How about you? Is there a place you want to visit?"
"Hmm... Ulaanbaatar."
"...Ulaanbaatar?" 3x
"It's the capital of Mongolia. I want to see Gengis Khan's statue and go horseriding on the Mongolian steppe."
"...." 3x
Somehow, in the heads of the three women, they thought of him riding a horse, then forced them on the grassland, doing something naughty on the exposure like a barbarian, causing them to blush.
"Still, what do you think of this apartment?" Mizuto asked.
"Er...." 2x
Akatsuki and Reina liked this apartment, but they hesitated when they considered the price, as it wasn't cheap.
"Okay, I will get this apartment. Can it be done today?"
"Eh?" 2x
"Thank you very much."
"..." 2x
They thought Mizuto would rent, but they never expected this guy to buy it directly. They wanted to say something, but in the end, they shut their mouths obediently, following their man quietly in a daze as they thought Mizuto was as amazing as ever.
