Campione Scumbag in Mash-up Anime-Chapter 119: Buying a House
Chapter 119 - Buying a House
Leaving Hayasaka in charge of looking after Itsuki at the apartment, Ren took his car keys. He drove his rarely used Bentley Flying Spur, cutting through the increasingly busy streets of Tokyo in the early morning.
His destination: a real estate company!
Ren realized that the rented apartment they currently occupied was not an ideal environment for raising a child. Moreover, he had long-term considerations regarding his residence. He needed enough space to accommodate his future harem of women.
Currently, only Hayasaka Ai and Nakano Itsuki were by his side. However, Ren knew very well that sooner or later the number of women in his life would increase. He needed a spacious and comfortable house for all of them.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
After choosing the nearest real estate company via the map in his car, Ren parked in the parking area. He stepped into the office, which looked modern and elegant.
Perhaps because his appearance still looked youthful and his casual clothes didn't exude an expensive aura, the property agents sitting at their desks seemed indifferent. Not a single one took the initiative to approach him to offer assistance. They were more occupied with the files on their desks or chatting with colleagues.
'Is the quality of service in Japan getting worse? I often see this kind of treatment in Chinese urban novels, where the actually rich protagonist is often underestimated because of their simple appearance. I didn't expect to experience it myself.' Ren thought with a slight dissatisfaction at the poor service in this real estate company.
Although he possessed significant wealth thanks to the financial support of the Shinomiya Family, Ren was not the type of person who liked to flaunt his wealth through luxury goods. He preferred a simple and inconspicuous lifestyle.
Before Ren could decide to leave and look for another real estate company, a female property agent with beautifully flowing long black hair, a mature and curvaceous figure clad in a fitting dark OL suit, and long legs covered in black stockings, approached him with a professional smile on her beautiful face.
"Good morning. Welcome to Kagami Property Holdings. How may I assist you, sir?"
The woman greeted him in a soft yet attentive voice, her gaze friendly and professional, completely different from her colleagues who had previously ignored Ren.
'Kasumigaoka Utaha? She works here too? How many jobs does she actually have? Well, it's none of my business.'
Ren briefly recognized the woman in front of him. After all, Utaha was the saleswoman who served him and Hayasaka when they bought the Bentley Flying Spur some time ago.
On the other hand, Utaha also immediately remembered the handsome young man in front of her. How could she forget? This young man had left a deep impression on her because he bought a luxury car like a Bentley Flying Spur with a black card that hinted at unlimited wealth.
Without further ado, Ren directly stated his purpose.
"I want to buy a house in Bunkyo District."
Hearing that request, Utaha's professional smile widened. She knew this client in front of her was no ordinary client.
"Bunkyo District? A very excellent choice, sir. Please follow me."
Then, she led Ren to a table filled with property catalogs.
If one talks about education in Japan, people will turn to Tokyo. And in Tokyo, they turn to Bunkyo District.
Bunkyo literally means Cultural Capital. The city began as a literary center during the Showa era when the University of Tokyo moved there. Many famous writers gathered in the area, making it one of the most famous educational districts in Japan.
Bunkyo District is home to some of the best schools. In addition to Japan's top university, the University of Tokyo, the area also has Ochanomizu University, Juntendo University, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and more than twenty other prestigious institutions.
Due to the large number of top educational institutions there, Bunkyo District has the lowest crime rate and the best public safety among the 23 Districts of Tokyo.
That was precisely why Ren chose to buy a house there.
"..."
Utaha felt a slight envy towards the young man in front of her who was already able to buy a house in Bunkyo District at such a young age.
"Here are some of the best house options available in Bunkyo District at the moment." She said, opening a catalog and showing several photos of luxurious houses with diverse designs.
Every time Ren's eyes seemed to linger on one of the pictures, Utaha promptly provided a detailed explanation.
"This is a property with a land area of approximately 500 square meters, has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a spacious garden. The design is modern minimalist with a touch of traditional Japanese. The location is very strategic, close to parks and other public facilities."
"Um."
Ren responded to Utaha with a lukewarm response.
Utaha continued to show various house options, ranging from modern to traditional, from minimalist to luxurious, while explaining the advantages of each property, the building and land area, the number of rooms, facilities, as well as the location and accessibility.
After flipping through the pages of the catalog, Ren's eyes stopped at a picture of a unique house. The house combined traditional Japanese design with an elegant modern Scandinavian touch.
Without the slightest hesitation, he pointed to the picture of the house.
"I'm interested in this house. Can we see it in person?"
Seeing the young man's decisiveness and clear interest, Utaha felt a surge of excitement in her heart.
'If I manage to sell this house, the commission will definitely be huge! With that money, I can pay off that bastard father's gambling debts. He's completely irresponsible, using my name to borrow money and then running away like a coward! This is my chance to free myself from this burden.'
Utaha smiled wider, hiding the turmoil of her emotions behind her professionalism.
"Of course, sir. A very interesting choice." Utaha replied in an enthusiastic tone. "I will speak with the manager immediately to get the keys to the property."
She hurried towards the manager's desk, explaining her client's interest in the house and showing the black card she had briefly seen when Ren bought the car.
Utaha's confidence in her client's financial ability successfully convinced the manager to hand over the house keys without many questions.
Returning to Ren, Utaha smiled brightly while holding the keys in her hand.
"The keys are here, sir. Let's head to Bunkyo District."
Ren nodded in satisfaction. He rose from his seat and gestured for Utaha to follow him out of the office.
The two of them then got into Ren's Bentley Flying Spur, gliding through the streets of Tokyo towards Bunkyo District.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Hmm... The exterior appearance is exactly as seen in the photos. Even better. In that case, let's see the interior."
Ren quite liked the design of the house in front of him. The blend of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics felt so harmonious and suited his taste.
The house before him presented a perfect combination of clean white colors and the warm tones of wooden materials, but with a more prominent dominance of wood. Its sloping roof was designed to optimally drain rainwater, reflecting the typical functionality of Japanese design.
Tall rectangular windows gave the facade a sleek look, creating a proportional and modern impression. Its strategic location ensured that sunlight could spread evenly throughout the rooms without sacrificing privacy.
The minimalist wooden front door added to the simple impression, while a short iron fence created a boundary without eliminating the effect of open space.
"..."
Following Utaha, who deftly opened the wooden door, Ren stepped inside the house. The first impression that greeted him was the soft scent of wood and the natural light that flooded the room. He began to walk slowly, observing every detail of the interior design.
While Ren examined every corner of the room, Utaha kindly began to explain the facilities the house offered.
"This house has a total of five bedrooms, sir. On this ground floor, there are two bedrooms that are quite spacious, both equipped with en-suite bathrooms." Utaha pointed to two adjacent doors. "One bedroom faces the back garden, very quiet and suitable for a guest room or study."
They then climbed a sturdy-looking wooden staircase to the upper floor.
"On this upper floor, there are three other bedrooms. The master bedroom is very spacious, equipped with a private balcony overlooking the front garden, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower." Utaha pointed to a large door at the end of the hallway. "The other two bedrooms are also large and have their own bathrooms, ideal for family members or guests."
Utaha continued her explanation as they continued to explore the house.
"In addition to the five bedrooms, this house also has a spacious living room with a fireplace, a comfortable family room, a dining room connected to a modern kitchen equipped with high-end appliances. There is also a multi-purpose room that can be used as a children's playroom, a library, or even a home theater."
She pointed to the rooms they passed.
"In the back, there is a fairly large garden with a terrace and a relaxation area. This house is also equipped with a garage for two cars and a modern security system."
After carefully examining every corner of the house, from the spacious living room to the comfortable bedrooms, and imagining his future in this place, Ren finally made a decision.
"I like this house. Let's go back to the office and finalize the transaction."
Seeing the young man decide to buy such an expensive property without even asking the price first, Utaha was once again impressed. As a formality, she mentioned the fantastic figure.
"Very well, sir. Just to confirm, the price of this house is 2.5 billion yen."
"Um."
Hearing that astronomical figure, Ren didn't even flinch slightly. He simply nodded briefly, as if the price was completely insignificant to him.
"...!!!"
Utaha tried hard to suppress the surge of excitement in her heart. She imagined the large commission she would receive from this sale. With a professional smile that could barely hide her happiness, she escorted Ren back to the car.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Arriving at the real estate company, Ren calmly signed all the purchase documents in his name and paid the entire amount using his black card.
Under the wide grin of the manager, who had suddenly become very friendly and full of flattery, Ren left after receiving the keys and the ownership certificate of the newly purchased house.
"...."
Watching Ren's figure drive away in his luxury car, Utaha pondered.
With the commission money she was about to collect, should she finally quit being her manager's mistress at the car showroom where she worked? The relationship she had been in felt increasingly disgusting.
"Mghm...!"
Suddenly, a wave of nausea hit her. Her stomach churned, and she felt a bitter liquid rise into her throat. Utaha hurriedly ran towards the toilet, entered a stall, and began to vomit the contents of her stomach.
"Hoeeek..."
After finishing vomiting, her body felt weak and cold. However, amidst that discomfort, a terrifying thought suddenly popped into her mind.
'Could I be pregnant? Pregnant with the child of a middle-aged man who is much older than my own father?'
Imagining that possibility, Utaha felt her world crumble instantly. Despair gripped her heart.
'Impossible. This must just be a cold.'
'I always take the contraceptive pill on time every time we have sex.'
'It's impossible for me to be pregnant. Impossible...'
Utaha continued to reassure herself, trying to brush away the fear that was increasingly gripping her.
