Chapter 31

The loan went very smoothly.

Having had one similar loan experience, Genta Nakai helped Naoki Nagayama apply for a 100 million limit directly.

The purchase of the house also went very smoothly.

He bought a 25-tsubo (over 80 square meters) house in Bunkyo Ward, which surprisingly only cost 16 million.

He still couldn't afford Roppongi, but this time the storefront was in Shibuya. A ground-floor shop of only 15 tsubo (50 square meters) actually cost over 106 million. It was indeed dark enough!

If he doesn't sell it for 600 million when the bubble era comes, he'll be sorry for himself!

Time flew by, and it was almost April. Some early cherry blossoms in Tokyo had already bloomed, but most were still in bud. In a week, it would be their most brilliant day.

One could still hear the music of "Sakura~Anata ni Deaete Yokatta~" (Cherry Blossom, Cherry Blossom, I'm Glad I Met You) on the streets, and it had been ranked number one on the Oricon chart for two consecutive weeks.

With the help of the April cherry blossom season, he believed it could be popular for at least another two weeks, and taking the number one spot on the monthly chart was not a dream.

Naoki Nagayama, this creator and producer, also had a certain degree of fame in some music journals and was called "The Creator of Cherry Blossom Songs~".

After all, two songs related to cherry blossoms had both become big hits.

Tsuruko Nagayama had been clamoring to come to Tokyo to play a few days ago, and finally decided to take the train to Tokyo on the last day of March.

Coming along was her best friend, Nana Tsubakiya. Both of them had entered high school this year and decided to take advantage of the spring break to have a good time.

Today was the weekend. Naoki Nagayama cleaned the house a little in the morning and then headed to Waseda Station.

In the days without mobile phones, he could only calculate the time and wait in advance.

Waseda Station was bustling with people, and the two agreed to wait next to the convenience store in the waiting hall.

Naoki Nagayama was flipping through magazines on the shelf out of boredom while waiting for Tsuruko Nagayama's arrival.

He actually saw news about Kanako Higuchi in a magazine, something about her joining a new play.

As expected, after becoming famous, film crews would come knocking.

After waiting for about half an hour, he saw two little girls in little skirts walking out of the exit.

"Tsuruko, Nana-chan, over here!" Naoki Nagayama waved to signal, and that counted as meeting them.

"Onii-chan!" "Naoki Nii-chan~"

Yoho~ this voice full of youth~

Two youthful little girls had arrived!

"Tsuruko and Nana-chan, let's go back first. Mother specifically instructed me that you must call as soon as you arrive~"

"ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh, I originally wanted to go shopping~"

"It won't be too late to go shopping after eating~"

Nana Tsubakiya interrupted and asked:

"Naoki Nii-chan, where do you live?"

"Up ahead... about a ten-minute walk~"

"Is the house big enough for me and Nana-chan? We can go stay in a hotel~" This was Tsuruko...

"There's an empty room, it's fine~"

"Nii-chan, have the cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloomed yet?"

"It won't be until early April. The cherry blossoms at Meguro River will probably have to wait another two days."

"Then where are you taking us to play these few days?"

"Aleh? Don't you have a plan?"

As the three of them chatted, they walked to Naoki Nagayama's apartment. He took out the key and opened the door, and the two little girls looked around like little animals.

Naoki Nagayama put their little luggage bags on the tatami in the guest room: "You will sleep here tonight. The bedding is in the closet, it's brand new, and the toiletries are in the storage cabinet."

"Does Nii-chan live in such a big house alone? How big is it, how much is the rent~"

Tsuruko Nagayama felt that except for not having two floors, this house seemed bigger than their old home in Shizuoka.

"About 20 tsubo. It's not rented out, I don't know how much it could rent for." Naoki Nagayama was busy calling home to report that they were safe, casually brushing them off.

"Not rented out? Did the landlord let you live here for free?"

"What silly things are you saying, this is my house."

"Eh???!!!" X2

"Onii-chan bought the house himself?!" Tsuruko Nagayama was surprised.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you before?" The call went through at this time. "Mother, I have already picked up Tsuruko."

"Hai, Nana-chan is also here. Both of them are fine, they arrived safely.

Tsuruko is right here, you can talk to her~"

Then he gave the phone to Tsuruko: "Oka-san! Nii-chan bought a house in Tokyo!!!"

Naoki Nagayama's mother, Nanako Nagayama, on the other side: "?"

After a burst of chattering, the matter was finally explained clearly, and then it was Nana-chan's turn to call home to report that she was safe, which of course also involved a burst of chattering.

He believed that the next time Naoki Nagayama returned to his hometown, he would hear people say, "The child of someone else's family has already bought a house in Tokyo!"

If these two knew that he actually had a disco under his control that was almost finished with renovations, and two more properties were in the process of being transferred, then rumors like "The Nagayama family has produced a big tycoon" would probably spread in his hometown...

Afterward, Tsuruko and Nana-chan wandered around the room, and even went to the bathroom several times...

"That's enough, you two!"

Naoki saw them open the bathroom door for the fourth time and finally couldn't help but stop them, "Come over and sit down!"

The two little girls' faces were flushed with excitement: "How can Naoki Nii-chan be so rich?" "Is filming commercials that profitable?"

Naoki Nagayama was helpless: "How could it be that profitable... Didn't I say before? I wrote a song for Seiko Matsuda-san, and then the song became a big hit..."

"And then you bought this apartment?"

Nana Tsubakiya was by his side, so there was no need to be too detailed: "That's about it~"

Tsuruko was full of confidence: "So writing songs is that profitable? I must create songs in the future too!

Even the songs Nii-chan created can become big hits, a top student like me will definitely have no problem!"

"You should calm down first..." Naoki Nagayama prepared to go to the refrigerator to get drinks, "Nana-chan, do you want to drink?"

"Yes! Is there the one from the commercial Nii-chan filmed?"

"There should be. I drank too much when filming the commercial before, and then didn't replenish it." Sure enough, there were a few bottles left, and he gave them to the two.

Nana Tsubakiya was gossiping at this time: "Naoki Nii-chan, is what the magazine said true?"

"What did it say?"

"It's about Kanako Higuchi-san being in love~"

"Nana, didn't I tell you, it's fake, it's fake!" Tsuruko Nagayama interrupted from the side, "You don't believe me!"

"I can't help it. First, you were photographed shopping, and the couple in the MV acted so devotedly. Doesn't falling in love because of a play happen often~" Nana Tsubakiya was clearly a fan of the couple.

"Naoki Nii-chan is so handsome," Nana's face turned red, "and so well-matched with Kanako-san~"

"Ah... this is indeed just the magazine talking nonsense. Don't you know what kind of tone entertainment magazines have?"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit helpless, "If you count the actual time, I have only met Kanako-san three times~"

"Sigh~~~" X2. Tsuruko, what are you disappointed about...

"Alright, alright, tidy up, I'll take you to eat!"

In order not to continue on this topic, Naoki Nagayama changed the subject, "And then go to the Pedestrian Paradise in the afternoon to stroll around~"

"Hai~" X2
