Owning a building might seem like a stable income, but if one couldn't properly maintain it and make a profit from it, Nifuji knew it would become a liability, especially when it took a lot of money to maintain.
A single apartment was one thing, but Nifuji directly used his "Free Building Voucher" on the single building in one of the most expensive areas.
As for why he did this, he considered using this building to launder his money.
How do people clean up their dirty money?
The best way was to gamble, as they entered the gambling house and made a deal with it to win all the money they wanted, which then turned the money into clean money.
The second way was by opening shops or restaurants, which then put all of that money as the income of those shops and restaurants.
Nifuji might not need to launder his money, especially since all his income from the system was legal, but he had to say that, compared to personal tax, business tax was much cheaper!
While he hadn't consulted the accountant, he had read how the tax worked in this country, and when he thought of how much his money would be taken from his bank account to pay his tax, it gave him a helpless sigh.
'I should make an offshore company, too.'
Like how wealthy people set up companies in tax havens, Nifuji should do the same!
Still, to create an offshore company aside, as it was troublesome, he could make his own shop, so he could reduce the tax on income, which he acquired from the system.
Nifuji still had one "Free Building Voucher," which he hadn't used before. Originally, he had two: one for Mayuri's entire apartment building and land, and the other for this building.
Frankly, with how good this item was, he should have gotten a better building, especially when Mayuri's building was as good as a wreck, but it didn't matter; he thought. After all, he had a lot of money at this moment.
Yesterday, when he bought a car, he had more than a hundred million yen!
Unless he thought of buying a luxury house, this amount of money was enough.
If that wasn't enough, he could just borrow it from a bank, as he was sure that many would lend him money, considering his money and all.
Still, the most important thing was what kind of business he should do with this building?
The gym was good, but there were still a lot of spaces that could be used, and it would be wasteful if he didn't use them, right?
"...let me confirm it again."
Koyanagi took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure that this is your building?"
"Yes."
"..." Koyanagi.
"Sorry, let me calm down for a bit."
As Koyanagi held her head in a headache, Nifuji kept staring at Koyanagi's features for a moment before he frowned.
"W-What's wrong? You want to do it here, after all, right? Geez... you are so perverted..."
Koyanagi felt helpless, but she knew that she couldn't reject his advances. Nifuji was so speechless that she stopped her. "Wait! Wait! I am not such a pervert! I am just thinking about what kind of business I should make with this building."
"Well..."
Koyanagi also stopped being perverted and was quite curious. "What are you going to do with all that free space? Are you going to rent them?"
Renting.
This was the most common way for a building owner to make money from their property, but Nifuji felt that it was too slow, and people in the tax department would definitely be suspicious of him since the income from renting was predictable.
So, what should he do?
Previously, he wasn't sure, but when he kept staring at Koyanagi, he made his decision. "Well, I am going to make a cosplay studio."
"Cosplay studio?!" Koyanagi was dumbfounded. "Huh? Really? Are you sure?"
"Yup." Nifuji nodded. "Cosplay is popular now, as people of many ages have such a hobby, and naturally, they need a good space to take their picture, so why isn't my place? Moreover, it is pretty easy to manage."
More importantly, he had a "Design Mastery" reward, which he gained after spending a lot of money on Mayuri in the past, so—
'Wait, since I can design a studio... I should be able to design a toy, too, right?'
"....."
As Nifuji fell into a deep thought, all of a sudden, his smartphone vibrated, which woke him up from his deep thoughts.
Who?
Nifuji frowned, then took his smartphone, which showed the number from the staff of the car dealer yesterday.
"..."
"What's wrong?" Koyanagi asked curiously.
"Wait a moment."
Nifuji hoped that the woman didn't try to hit on him since he was only interested in the woman who could trigger his system, but fortunately, she only reminded him that his car was ready.
"Really?"
"Yes, please come to pick it up when you are free."
"Okay, I will pick it up soon."
Nifuji hung up the call, and then he kissed Koyanagi's cheek all of a sudden.
"....." Koyanagi.
"The previous owner of the building will come soon, so help me to take care of it with the notary."
"W-Wait, where are you going?"
"I am going to do some business."
"..." Koyanagi.
"Okay, then, go."
Anyway, she was his secretary, so more or less, she helped him with many of his daily problems, but as she saw him leaving, she held her cheek helplessly, as she could still feel the warmth of his lips that made her heart beat so fast.
Still, as she thought of her sore lower body, it might be good to get a secretary for him, so that the secretary could handle Nifuji's work, and she could handle Nifuji's lower body.
Yup, it was a good idea, Koyanagi thought.
Regardless, Nifuji knew nothing about Koyanagi's thoughts and got his car from the car dealer directly, which somehow led him to meet the manager.
Similar to the previous female staff, the manager was also a great, mature beauty,
Still, Nifuji's heart was as firm as steel. Even if he was clear of their advances, his heart never wavered as he had made up his mind not to do anything, yet he had to say, even if he didn't do anything, he encountered all the temptations that he had thought that he would get.
No, he saw many temptations even in the past, but even so, he ignored all the signs and just focused on his work, since, compared to falling in love with women, he was realistic and loved money more.
Yes, money isn't everything.
Yet, without money, it was hard to do anything.
Like how in the era of war, the strong got everything, in this era, the one with the most money was the winner—
That was what he planned to say, but many could live well with just relying on their intelligence, appearance, or other types of talents, since in this era, there were many ways for people to live.
Many things might be shitty, but at the same time, many possibilities exist.
As long as there was a strong willpower, everything was possible, like how the female manager and the female staff tried to fight to get him, so they could secure a great future.
"Let's stop fighting."
"Yes, let's work together!"
Compared to the petty fight, they might as well fight together, especially when they thought of Eri and Mayuri, who were so beautiful and had their own charms. If they wanted to defeat the two, they had to work together!
Yet—
"Where is he?"
Yup, he had left, driving his new car with a helpless sigh since it started to rain.
"I just got this car..."
As he looked up helplessly, he suddenly noticed a young woman with blue hair, drenched in rain, gazing up like a tragic heroine.
Usually, he would ignore someone like that as there were many things that he had to do in his life, and he was also driving, but when he saw her features, he was startled, and quickly stopped near the road, and opened the window, "Chika, what are you doing?!"
Yup, this young woman was his little sister, Suzugamori Chika.
---
A new heroine!
Also, try to watch or read Zatsu Tabi!
Chika is from that work, and frankly, it is good!
