Chapter 395 394, Isn't It Nice to Be Neighbors with the Buddha?

Chapter 395 394, wouldn’t it be nice to be neighbors with Bodhisattvas~

Early in the morning, before the sky was fully lit, the busy girl idol Akina Nakamori had already gotten up, put on a light make-up, and was ready to go out.

There was an outdoor program in Yamazaki today at 9:30 in the morning, and Akiyuki had already driven his car downstairs to the apartment and was waiting for him.

When I walked to the apartment doorman's room, I suddenly found a thick document bag in the doorman's inbox. On the outer packaging, I could vaguely see the house number of Zhongmori's house.

"Sent to me?"

Akina Nakamori stepped forward and picked up the document bag.

"The cute girl on the sixth floor" looked at the recipient's name on the outside of the email. Akina Nakamori's joy filled her heart, and she was a little shy, "Naoki-san"

When I was on the phone with Nagayama Naoki the day before yesterday, we talked about a new novel. After Akina expressed that she wanted to read it, Nagayama Naoki said that she could give her the manuscript to read in advance~

"Dudu!"

At this time, the car parked outside honked its horn twice, both as a reminder and an urging.

The lovely girl quickly picked up the document bag and hurriedly got into the car:

"Maki-chan, Fang Ze-san, good morning~"

"Good morning Akina-chan, have you had breakfast?" Maki Ueda greeted her idol, "Huh? What else did you bring?"

"I had a delicious breakfast~" Akina Nakamori said cheerfully, "As for this, it's the email I just got, it should be a manuscript."

The car had already started, and Akiyukibo who was driving was just about to tell Akina Nakamori that she could sleep in the car for a while, but found that her idol had already started tinkering with the mail in her hand very energetically.

What a dynamic young man! Looking at the dwindling hair, Ming Xingfu sighed silently.

"Maki-chan, do you have any scissors?"

Nakamori Akina tried the thickness of the packaging bag, and then looked for tools. This multi-functional car was equipped with many tools.

"Hi, here you go." Maki Ueda handed the scissors upside down, "What manuscript? It looks thick? Is it a letter from a fan?"

"It's a novel~"

Nakamori Akina opened the document bag and pulled out a stack of thick bound papers. In the middle of the white cover on the top, there were two simple words "Love in the Sky" written in large letters.

"Novel?" Maki Ueda stepped forward and took a look, "Is it actually the original manuscript?"

"Hi, Naoki-san said that it is in the process of being published, so show me the manuscript first~" Akina Nakamori happily started reading, and her whole body was very happy to the naked eye.

"Naoki-san, Nagayama Naoki?"

Ueda Maki does know that Naoki Nagayama is a best-selling novelist, and he also bought and read the book "Love Letter".

"It's actually Nagayama Naoki-san's new book!"

"It's still in the process of being published. If you put it this way, Akina-chan has something unique and rare!"

"Hmm, Naoki-san said to keep it safe and not give it away~" Akina had already started to read, "Maki-chan, don't talk to me yet, Mika is about to meet Hiroki~"

If there was a mirror at this time, Ueda Maki would definitely find that her face was full of envy and jealousy.

However, she silently consoled herself in her heart: "Hey, when Akina-chan is on the show, won't you be able to read this manuscript?"

"But there are still more than two hours before the show. During this time, I haven't been able to see Wuwuwu~"

Akikofusa, who was listening to the conversation in the back row, was secretly frightened. Is it Naoki Nagayama again?

What is the relationship between Akina-chan and this guy?

Is he actually good enough to send her the manuscript of the unpublished novel?

As the sky slowly became brighter, Naoki Nagayama woke up from his bedroom in Yamasakura-in and touched Yotaro beside the bed.

"Yingtaro, Oha~"

As for Nyaotaro? After the orange cat got hotter and hotter, he went to sleep on the living room floor, completely treating his owner as a tool that he would throw away after use.

He didn't go for a morning jog today. After Naoki Nagayama did a little warm-up exercise at home, he went to take a shower.

Because in a short while, Keiko Fujita will take him to Kyoto to look at two properties. The round trip will take four hours, not to mention going to see the house, and he may not come back until very late at night.

"Ding dong~" When Naoki Nagayama was having breakfast, the doorbell of Yamazakuin rang.

Nagayama Naoki went to open the door, and outside the door was naturally the capable real estate agent-Fujita Keiko. Today, Fujita Keiko is still wearing a black women's suit, holding a black briefcase in her hand, looking very capable.

"Keiko-san, you're so early!" Nagayama Naoki greeted, "I'm still having breakfast, please come in and wait for a while."

"Hey, Dai Guapang, we don't miss this time." Keiko Fujita walked in the door and saw that Taro Taro had already eaten the dog food and was looking at the people outside in the living room, "Does Taro Taro want to go today too?"

"Of course he won't go~" Naoki Nagayama continued to eat bread, "This weather is too hot for dogs, and Taro cannot get on the Shinkansen. Unless we drive there~"

"That's too far~" It's more than 500 kilometers away. It would take a whole day to drive!

"It seems that Yotaro can only stay at home and look after the house~" Keiko Fujita touched the dog's big head and said with regret on her face.

Now that someone has come to the house, Nagayama Naoki naturally cannot eat leisurely. He finished the food in two mouths and then quickly cleaned the tableware and kitchen.

"Keiko-san, it's almost done, let's go!"

"Hi!"

First, we took a car to the high-speed rail station. Naoki Nagayama did not drive and only brought a wallet because today’s arrangement was to follow the agent and view two properties.

Parked outside was Keiko Fujita's office car, which was actually replaced by an affordable Honda Civic.

"Did Keiko-san actually change cars?"

"Hey, the company car is more troublesome to use, so I bought one myself."

Keiko Fujita secretly thanked Naoki Nagayama in her heart. If it weren’t for the commission he provided, she would still need a loan to buy a car~

Without much time, the two of them got on the Shinkansen to Kyoto. Naoki Nagayama sat in his seat and saw the scenery outside the window like a painting~

"Natural scenery always makes people addicted~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Keiko-san, do you often go to Kyoto?"

"Not many times." Keiko Fujita thought about it, "Except for occasionally traveling with her boyfriend during holidays."

They are all working people, so how can they go shopping every day?

"I only went to see it when I was hunting for red leaves."

Speaking of which, among the properties I went to see this time, there was one place very close to Rurikoin Temple~

"The Momiji Safari in Kyoto must be seen once in a lifetime~" Keiko Fujita echoed Naoki Nagayama's words and took out some information from her briefcase.

"Naoki-san, these are the plots of land for sale next to Lake Toya. Let's take a look on the way~"

"Oh? Is it there too?"

Nagayama Naoki took the document, and at first glance he didn't look at the size and price of the land. Instead, he looked at photos of the surrounding scenery.

"Keiko-san, I want to find a piece of land next to Lake Toya. Actually, it's mainly for vacation. So the best thing is to be closer to the lake~"

"Hey, I know this. These plots of land are not far from Lake Toya. Two of them are even on the lakeside, but they may be affected by the lake water. The other one is on a slightly higher hillside. But it was once a farm."

"I see~" Nagayama Naoki looked at it seriously and asked Fujita Keiko from time to time.

The Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto takes two hours. Half of the time Naoki Nagayama was reading information, and the other half was chatting with Keiko Fujita.

Regarding the appreciation potential of Tokyo real estate, Nagayama Naoki's confidence makes this agent who specializes in real estate unable to believe that the land price in Tokyo can buy the entire United States in the future.

He has also been urging Fujita Keiko to buy a house as soon as possible and wait for the appreciation in value.

The strong self-confidence and persuasiveness actually made experts like Fujita Keiko a little tempted. Looking around, some other people sitting close to each other on the Shinkansen seemed to be listening to Naoki Nagayama's analysis with open ears. .

"Naoki-san, if you become a real estate agent, you will definitely become a gold medal agent!"

"Hahaha, I feel the same way sometimes."

After arriving in Kyoto, Keiko Fujita went directly to the local branch to get the keys and borrowed a car.

Sure enough, Mitsui Fudosan is a nationwide chain!

The first thing we came to was a mansion located in Kyoto's Kita District. Although the renovated and designed Japanese-style garden was well maintained, it could also be seen that it was old. The tatami mats and paper partitions had a certain amount of depreciation. In addition, the old-fashioned The style makes the whole house dim and dark.

Even the courtyard that was supposed to be open was blocked by the densely packed tall trees, making the entire space look crowded and claustrophobic.

Nagayama Naoki walked in and felt the old-style small corridors and intricate room distribution. For a moment, he felt like he was playing an escape room.

But maybe a big family with four generations living under one roof would like a house like this.

"Keiko-san, the style here is a bit hard to describe~" Nagayama Naoki stood in the center of the room, opened the door on the corridor and looked out at the courtyard.

"What's wrong?"

Fujita Keiko is a little confused, because in her eyes, this style was the favorite of wealthy people in the past. No, the courtyard outside looks like a painting!

"It always feels like a scene from a horror movie!"

Speaking of horror movies, The Ring seems to be very suitable if it was filmed here. By the way, there is actually a well in the yard.

"Hahaha, Naoki-san, don't be ridiculous~" Keiko Fujita looked back at the empty room, feeling a chill down her spine, and immediately forced a laugh to dilute the atmosphere.

Nagayama Naoki glanced at the real estate agent and said with a smile: "Silly tape, it's almost noon now!"

"Hi!"

If you think about it this way, this house is really not good. The light at noon actually has an eerie feeling.

"Since Naoki-san is not satisfied with this house, let's go see the next one!"

The two slowly walked out of the mansion. Naoki Nagayama glanced at the sun in the sky: "I remember the next place was in Sakyo District, right? It's far away from the city center."

"Hey, if you drive, it will probably take half an hour."

"Well, in that case, let's have lunch in Kyoto now~ I remember the kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto is very good~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "When I came here last time, I didn't eat enough of Kyoto's food~"

"Kaiseki cuisine?"

Keiko Fujita, who originally thought her wallet would go bankrupt, was about to pretend to be generous when she heard Naoki Nagayama say:

"I just wanted to treat Keiko-san to a meal. Thank you for your hard work today and accompanying me to look at the property."

No, don’t thank me, I’m here for the commission income of tens of millions!

Fujita Keiko felt a little guilty in her heart, but she said honestly: "Arigado! Naoki-san!"

Nagayama Naoki had been to Kikunoi in Tokyo before and had kaiseki cuisine. That time it was Haruki Kadokawa's treat and a reservation was required in advance.

But this time in Kyoto, the two of them didn't go to a restaurant that required reservations in advance. Instead, they found a high-end kaiseki restaurant in the city center.

As a commercial store, it naturally does not have the scenery and quiet feeling of a separate store, but in a private room, it is actually not bad. The ingredients in high-end stores are of course very fresh, and the chef's skills are top-notch.

All in all, Naoki Nagayama and Keiko Fujita had a great time~

In the afternoon, the real estate agent drove Naoki Nagayama to the noble mansion in Sakyo District.

The green hills in the distance are undulating, and you can vaguely see buildings such as temples on the mountains. If you look more carefully, you can see tourists.

This is what Naoki Nagayama saw when he stood at the door of the noble mansion and looked out.

"That's Rurikoyuan over there, right?" Nagayama Naoki pointed to the mountain in the distance.

"Hey, the straight-line distance from here to Liuliguangyuan is only about two kilometers." Fujita Keiko quickly unlocked the door, and then pushed open the two heavy doors with great force. "The doors here are made of solid wood and are very heavy. ~”

After walking in, Naoki Nagayama discovered that the courtyard was very similar to the layout of the headquarters of the Kiyomizu Nagayama Group.

But this is just a Chinese family, not a big family that holds power, so there aren't many other configurations. There are only three main buildings inside the courtyard wall, namely the East and West rooms and the sleeping hall, and the pavilion in the big courtyard. What? There is no coachman's room, valet's room, wind and rain corridor, etc.

Yes, it's only over 1,000 square meters. A normal shinden-style building would take an entire town to build, at least over 4,000 square meters!

But the good thing is that there is a hill behind the courtyard, which is completely enclosed by the courtyard wall. There is also a large courtyard with a pond in front.

In terms of architecture, they all maintain the Tang style and are very ancient.

"It's really big~" Naoki Nagayama admired as he looked at the courtyard and walked to the pond in the courtyard. "Is it actually living water?"

"Hey, it's spring water brought down from the mountain."

"There is actually a spring?"

"Hi~"

Nagayama Naoki walked around the huge courtyard with great interest. This area was almost the same as a future elementary school, but it was just for maintaining his own life.

After walking to the hill at the back, Nagayama Naoki walked up the thin mountain path. After the red torii gate, there was a small temple with only two rooms. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was enshrined in the front and the monks should be in the back. A place to live.

Looking around from the hill, there is a vast expanse except for the green hill where Liuli Guangyuan is located.

"What a beautiful scenery~"

Keiko Fujita, who was panting next to her, almost understood when she heard this.

"Naoki-san, are you ready to buy this place?"

"Hahaha, it's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there's a nice scenery. This courtyard is really nice!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and said to Keiko Fujita, "Keiko-san, this is it!"

Looking at the dilapidated and old main hall and other houses, Nagayama Naoki silently thought about renovating it! But the pond in the yard is very nice! To keep! This hill is pretty nice too!

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s words are still here, even though I don’t believe in religion,

But it’s also nice to be a neighbor with a Bodhisattva~

After confirming the relevant matters, Nagayama Naoki, who had stayed in the suburbs of Kyoto for almost three hours, got on the high-speed train back to Tokyo.

It’s almost evening, and it’ll probably be around 8 or 9 o’clock when we get back to Tokyo~

We didn’t eat anything special for dinner. Naoki Nagayama bought a lot of Kyoto’s wagashi and buckwheat biscuits as special gifts, and it was easy to fill our stomachs.

They were very tired after walking all day. On the way back, they both rested quietly.

However, after arriving in Tokyo, Keiko Fujita had to drive Naoki Nagayama back to Sansakura-in.

8pm,

"Thank you so much for today, Keiko-san!"

Naoki Nagayama, standing at the entrance of Yamazakura-in, thanked the real estate agent in the car.

"This is what I should do. Naoki-san's ability to choose a property is the biggest gain today!" The driver started the car and said goodbye.

"Hahaha, I still need to trouble you later~" Nagayama Naoki waved his hand, "Bye~"

When Naoki Nagayama returned home, he put the specialties in his hands in the storage room under the warm welcome of Taro Taro, and even took out two biscuits for a cat and a dog to try.

"This is a specialty brought from Kyoto today~"

Just as he was about to go upstairs to take a shower, a phone call from the living room stopped him again. The voice of senior editor Kuniji Morikawa came from the other side of the phone.

"Naoki-san? I've finished reading the manuscript of "Koisora"~"

"Oh? Have you finished reading it? How do you feel?" Nagayama Naoki asked curiously.

"There is nothing wrong with the novel itself, and there is nothing illegal about it." Morikawa Kuniji paused and continued, "The plot of the novel is full of twists and turns, which is very attractive, but"

"But?"

"But Naoki-san, the heroine Mika is too miserable. If you arrange it like this, readers will scold you!"

There was a hint of resentment in Morikawa Kuniji's tone. He was also broken by the experience of the heroine in the book, otherwise he would not call so late~

"Haha, Kuniji-san. Isn't there a saying that 'tragedy is to tear beauty apart in front of you'?" Nagayama Naoki replied, "This is painful literature!"

"Alas" How could Morikawa Kuniji, who has read many novels, not know, "Naoki-san, when the novel is published, someone will definitely send razor blades"
