I Got One Star, So I Will Do It Chapter 24

When I returned to Earth, it was evening.

Earth and the star have a 1.25 hour gap every day, When it has that much error, the considerable gap is possible in several days. For example, it will be 5 hours after 4 days.

It may be better not to go as much as possible while having to reverse the day and night. When I spent sunset on the earth, and as I went to the star and the other side was sunny, the jet lag was going to be terrible.

When I went to the kitchen, my mother was cooking supper. my father and older brother was not here.

"You are going to eat properly today, right?"

"Yeah."

"I will not be able to clean up properly, so if you are late for meal you should say it. It is not natural for me to live alone, so it's normal for me to set time for my family living together. "

"I understand"

I think that my mother's scolding will continue, so I decide to break away. When it matches the star time, earth time, and even family time, it seems that restrictions will be imposed on my actions.

At dinner, my older brother isn't here. It seems that he eat with his friends in front of the station. I heard that he will not be back till tomorrow. Of course he also used the car.

I guess it can't be helped, I suppose that I will go to the station with the scooter tomorrow.

My dad came to my room after dinner.

"Are you serious about buying your own field?"

"Yes"

"If it's just an idea, stop it. Don't be reckless"

"It is not reckless, I'm serious about it so I won't change my mind."

Father sat cross-legged on the tatami mat and put his both hands on his knee.

"But what do you plan to do with the fields?"

I wanted to talk to him honestly for a moment. I do not want to let my father know a lie, so I thought that it would be okay as long as I talked about it within my family as I said here.

『There is definitely a man who will do anything in the world. There are those guys who will take your family as a hostage and make you surrender the transposition gate.』

I was discouraged when I remember the words of leader. It will be hopeless if not only me but also my family, and acquaintance will be targeted.

"It is decided that my friends will come to this town, it is such a countryside, it seems that they liked it. After graduation they said that they want to live in place like this. This may be because they have been living in Tokyo for a long time"

Father nodded a little whether he had an idea for such words.

"Rural living huh. That's a thing which you should take pleasure for when your old"

Well, I live in the countryside. Sometimes farm house with garden is put on sale and was purchase by old people after their retirement. If it's is my father, he will often hear stories about such people.

"Everyone has already a job in hand so they don't care wherever it is. At the same time, I also want to manage money too."

"Is it farming? It's tough!"

"Yes, I do not have to do it from the scratch, so it seems that I do not have to raise the profit. However, I want to plan it and plant it myself. Even if it fails, that's also a experience."

That's why I told him that I wanted to use the field in the form of planting and helping friends.

At first, I want to start from plants where seedlings are planted, and leave it until about April, from there I will do it at that pace so the weeds such as people that goes in and out will not found it, cause it be troublesome if it's found out. It was good thing that the fields was in the mountains.

"How many people?"

"At first I will put five people, but I do not know after that. I will have a company here and it may increase.
I can get the rent properly, As my friends tell me not to bother you as much as possible, so I think that there is no problem."

"If you already think about that, I will say nothing.
I will ask an acquaintance tax accountant to investigate the neighborhood buying and selling rates, is that fine?"

"It will be a fair price, right?
Also, I am searching for a rental houses where my friends will live tomorrow, but are there any real estate agents that you recommend?"

"It's in front of the station, you should rent a single house, try asking in flour shop"

Father said only that and left. I do not speak the thing unnecessary as ever.

By the way, it is not a flour shop that sells flour. It is a shop name used in old days. The old residents of this neighborhood called each other by their shopkeeper name.

The house next to the flour shop is called the miller. There are others that are called straw sandal shop, futon stores, bow shops and others. By the way our house is called a new shop. It had a house as a branch family from the head family approximately 300 years ago and it seemed to be called new shop because it was the house which appeared new.

Though it is 300 years ago, I do not think it is a good idea that it's still call the new shop. There are two more new houses in the same district. Good grief, I want you to it twist a little. Because our house is located far in the mountain side, When distinguis.h.i.+ng, it is called a high-rise shop. Everything else is pretty bad, but it's a matter of anything.

The next morning, I went to the flour shop as my father told me. It seems that the contact has been carried out, and when the powder maker's father saw me,
"Naoya's second son, it's been a long time", 
as he try to stroke my head, but I was taller, so he seemed to give up. Would you rather I bend a little?

"I wants to rent a house where I can live with some of my friends, are there any hope we can have?
It's two boys and three girls, so it would be nice if there is a separate building if possible."(Minoru)

s.h.i.+no seems to be against when it comes to living together.

"Okay, what else?"

"It's not always us, but there are artists. So I wonder if there is a workshop or something like that. Is it possible?"(Minoru)

"Yes, there are some but..."

So there are some.

"The price doesn't have a upper limit, so what kind of place is it?"(Minoru)

"It is a house for sale.
Two years have pa.s.sed since I was asked to sell it earlier by the other party.... "

" So it is the house for sale...."

I did not ask leader about buying a house.

"The main building has a six j.a.panese style room, one between the boards. It is a one-storied house.
There are four j.a.panese-style room in the extension building, and there is a pretty wide workshop away from it."
(TN: So it's 3 buildings. Main, Extension, and Workshop)

Furthermore there is a well and a pond in the garden.

"It wide, so it seem to be quite expensive."(Minoru)

"No, at first it seemed they wanted it to be more than 10 million, but they did not have a buyer for a year, so it's 6 million yen now and the price is slowing going down. 

First of all, it costs about 230,000 yen for water supply cooperation money, and repairs maybe necessary because no one lives there for nearly ten years.
Even if I estimate the cost, I think that it is quite favorable for three buildings with a large garden."

"Well, if the price is 1,200,000 yen per person, it is not an amount that I cannot make. Is it okay for me to take a look for a moment?"(Minoru)

"Do you want to go immediately?"
"Yes, please"(Minoru)
"Well, wait in the table and I will get the car out."

While waiting outside, a light estate car came. Hidden in the side is written as a flour shop real estate agent.

What kind of is it shop!

It was far from the station, but the house was at a location with a nice view.

"It is quite big, right?"

We stop the car in the garden and see the house. It looks like a pre-war school. I remember the old kindergarten that my older brother went to.

"The first owner died and it was put out for sale, but a ceramic artist who bought it, built a workplace and lived alone. It seems that he was thinking to bring in his family.
After a while, his body breakdown, and pa.s.sed away after a long hospitalized life, but his family want to quickly sell it for money.
It maybe that they loss a lot of saving in hospitalized living, but these kind of properties cannot be sold very often, so it is a problem."

The inside was not so dirty. The deceased ceramic artist may dream up calling his family and prepare the room beautifully. There is ample s.p.a.ce and there is also a workshop. In this case Tatsuhiko will not be troubled.

If you think about it, it is in the countryside, so it may not be necessary to live in a narrow place like an apartment. Let's ask the leader.

"I like it quite well, though.
I will ask a my friends.
May I take a picture? "

"Oh, that's good to hear, please appeal it a lot."

After taking a picture and emailing everyone, I got home.

Then the my left wrist shake. It seems that someone has made a call. I thought it was the leader but it was the Prokame.

『Iya Iya, it seems that I would be in trouble already.』

Being told such opening, I was at a loss. Did something happen?

『What's the matter?!』

『I do not have enough nutrition.』

Yeah ... ... I don't understand.

『Well, what's wrong? 』

『I normally eat bugs in hand, and settle a meal with nutritious aquatic plants, but this area only has extremely few things ...』

Could it be.

『Because you're hungry, did you make an emergency call to me so that I can rush in it? 』

I feel exhausted. I thought that whether a golem that protects a treasure chest has came out.

『That's right. Sorry but I want to eat something ...... That's right, bring me a Sasami or something like that.』

I can't believe it.

『This number is not currently in use. Please check the number......』

『Please! I do not feel like I can hold it until the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p arrived!』

Tsk!

『……I understand. Is tomorrow OK?』

『I will eat eat nothing for a whole day? !』

By the way it is already evening.

『Yes, I understand. Is Sasami okay? I will bring it right now.』

『That's it. I'm sorry that I ask. I'll be waiting.
However, I'm so hungry, the idea is not settled ... probably this is ... .... However....』

Prokame seems to be murmuring something, and I think it was up to the supermarket in front of the station.

Author's Note

I completely forgot about the turtle's meal till it was pointed out.
