"Mrs. Landlord, I want to renovate the living room and make it look like a tatami. How should I do that?"
Seiji asked Nozomi.
"Renovate? If you want to do it, you can do it yourself or hire a renovation company. " Nozomi answered, "You can save some money if you do it yourself, but it's more troublesome. It's the opposite if you hire a renovation company."
"Oh..." Seiji thought about it.
Now that he had money in his pocket, he didn't want to do it himself, which would be a waste of time and effort. He would hire a professional.
"I want to hire a renovation company. Mrs. Landlord, do you have any good recommendations?"
"If you want, I can introduce you to one, but... is that really okay?"
Seeing her expression, Seiji understood what she was worried about, so he smiled.
"It's fine, Mrs. Landlord, I recently... helped a rich person and received a generous reward, so money isn't a problem. No need to worry about us."
"Oh... that's good." Nozomi smiled.
Then, she gave Seiji a phone number from a well-known renovation company.
After thanking her, Seiji returned home with Little Shi.
After returning home, he called Mika and told her about what just happened. He also told her to be careful when playing with Mashiro Kobayashi, and not to scare her mother!
Mika was speechless for a while on the other side of the phone. Even Seiji could feel the awkwardness coming from her. Then, she agreed and said that she would be careful in the future.
Then, Seiji contacted the renovation company.
After talking with them, they said that they would send someone to check on the situation and would arrive in about fifteen minutes.
Seiji began reading his light novel. After waiting for about twenty minutes, he heard a knock on the door.
It was a tall and thin man who introduced himself as Takagi. After greeting Seiji politely, he began inspecting the living room, taking measurements, and asking related questions, such as what type of tatami he wanted, and so on.
Seiji answered all the questions while watching him take measurements.
After Takagi finished his measurements, he combined Seiji's answers and gave an approximate price, which Seiji felt was acceptable.
Takagi said that he would get a contract when he returned to his company and bring it over tomorrow. Seiji signed the contract with the landlord and paid the deposit. The construction could start the next day.
After seeing off Takagi, Seiji explained the situation to Little Shi.
"We'll sign the contract tomorrow, and we'll start work the day after tomorrow. In other words, we can sit on the tatami and watch TV the night after tomorrow. "
Hearing this, Shika Kagura smiled happily.
The family was changing for the better.
At night.
Seiji and Mika went out together to attend the victory party for Year 1 Class 5.
The victory party was supposed to be held last night after the end of the school festival, but many students wanted to postpone it by a day, so the class leader complied and moved it to tonight.
It was being held at the Divine Taste Confectionery Store.
This was considered reciprocity. Their class's temporary shop had only been set up with the support of the Divine Taste Confectionery Shop's owner, so it was only right that they went to the confectionery shop to celebrate their victory.
By the time Seiji and Mika arrived, some of their classmates had already arrived.
"Harano -san, this is your home turf, so why don't you introduce the delicious desserts to everyone!" Class leader Koji Hoshihara chuckled when he saw Seiji.
Seiji accepted this task and began introducing the various desserts on the menu to his classmates.
At this moment, Chiaki arrived.
"Seigo is currently serving everyone … Shouldn't he be wearing a waiter's uniform?"
The tomboy's words caused all the female students' eyes to light up as they looked expectantly at the handsome boy.
Seiji had no choice but to change into his uniform and come out again. As expected, he was greeted by the sound of cell phones taking pictures.
The other students arrived one after another.
Koji gave a speech in front of everyone in the manner of the class leader, and he ended by calling for everyone to drink a toast, which everyone responded to.
After that, everyone enjoyed the desserts while looking at the pictures.
The pictures had been taken while the temporary shop was still in operation, and there were many of them.
There were pictures of them diligently working, of them accidentally messing up, of them purposely acting strange, of them being stupid, of them helping each other, of them working hard to decorate, of them cosplaying, of them working in the kitchen, of them having so many customers, of them slacking off, of them being busy, of them resting, of them closing the shop, of them cleaning up …
