Chapter 747

Moving! Life getting better!

Around seven o'clock at night.

Home.

Natsume Chikage returned to this familiar three-ping small room and said habitually:

"I'm home."

Natsume Ruri, who was seriously outlining manga lines at the small table, looked up at the sound.

The moment she saw her brother's figure at the door, her eyes lit up, and she immediately put down her brush, running over like a happy little bird and hugging Natsume Chikage.

"Welcome back, Brother!"

Her voice was full of dependence and joy.

Beside her, Kaga Reisa also looked up from her manuscript, her fair cheeks flushing faintly in the light, and said in a small, shy voice:

"Welcome back... Natsume-brother."

Natsume Chikage walked into the room and found that Xiyuanji Qilai, Akita Sana, and the others had already left.

A hint of apology rose in his heart.

Friends had rarely come to gather, but he had been called away by Konoe Tong halfway through and didn't return until now.

Next time, he must try his best to avoid this situation.

However, those thoughts were put aside for now.

At this moment, there was something more worth being happy about.

Natsume Chikage looked at his sister, who was looking at him with bright eyes, and bloomed a smile on his face, shaking the brand-new key in his hand.

The key reflected a little light in the lamp.

"Ruri, look! I got the key to the ten-ping room downstairs."

"We can move!"

Natsume Ruri was pleasantly surprised:

"Brother, is this true?!"

"Ten ping... so big?"

But the next second, the joy was diluted by the worry of reality.

She remembered something and frowned slightly.

"Bu-but... the rent downstairs must be very expensive, right?"

She counted with her fingers, her tone becoming cautious.

"Our current three-ping room already costs 60,000 yen a month. If it's ten ping... wouldn't it be over 100,000 yen a month?"

She shook her head, despite the longing for a larger space in her eyes, she still said firmly:

"That's too expensive, it's not worth it... Brother, why don't we just forget it."

Kaga Reisa also knew that the Natsume siblings' family situation was not well-off.

In her view, although the current room was narrow and crowded, it had the advantage of relatively low rent.

If they changed houses rashly, it might indeed bring heavy economic pressure to this small family that had just stabilized.

She also echoed in a small voice, carrying concern:

"I-I also think... Ruri-chan is right."

"Changing houses now... perhaps, it's a bit too early."

Watching the two of them looking like they were "carefully calculating for this home," Natsume Chikage couldn't help but laugh.

"The rent is the same as here, both 60,000 yen!"

Natsume Ruri was instantly stunned, and then huge surprise spread over her face, saying in disbelief:

"60,000 yen?! Really? Brother, you're not lying to me?"

Natsume Chikage nodded affirmatively, his smile warm.

"Of course it's true, why would Brother lie to you?"

He took out the prepared documents.

"Look, I've already signed the contract."

As he spoke, he handed the formal housing lease contract to his sister.
