Chapter 17: Landlady Bronya

As the evening wind blew, Akito walked alone on the way home.

Because his identity in the main world is an ordinary person who comes to Nagazora City to study abroad. Well, apart from Akito's many skill points, he is just an ordinary person with outstanding looks.

Well, this is not ordinary at all.

Because they are poor, and Nagazora City cannot compare to Shenzhou, one can easily make money through self-media. Besides, Akito has always adhered to a passive approach and never causes trouble. Peace is a blessing.

Although there are many ways to make a lot of money, they undoubtedly require cumbersome procedures, which is bound to disrupt one's peaceful campus life.

The light stretched his shadow out far away, and he looked extremely lonely under the illumination of the street lamp as if he could disappear in the wind at any time. However, he still walked forward firmly and kept walking forward without any pause or hesitation.

"Kid, do you want to tell your fortune?"

A thin man wearing ragged Taoist clothes, with an untidy beard, messy hair, and a skinny figure blocked Akito's way.

"Not really," Akito replied expressionlessly and prepared to leave.

The Taoist priest refused to give in and quickly walked in front of Akito with a lewd smile on his face.

"Since you are so handsome, and you are destined to be with me, I won't charge you any money."

Akito said nonchalantly: "If I met this in Shenzhou, I might believe in fortune-telling, especially someone like you who is dressed in rags, just like the fortune-tellers in novels. But I am in the Far East now. Could it be that the Taoist priests from Shenzhou came to the Far East specifically to increase their sales?"

"Also, it's ridiculous to say that I'm destined to be with you just because I'm good-looking..."

The Taoist touched his nose with his hand, raised his head, and looked up at the starry sky as if thinking about something.

"Well, it seems so."

Akito smiled helplessly, "See, you don't believe it yourself, and I don't believe in fate. How about this: I'll give you a word, and you help me calculate it, no matter what it is. Maybe I'll pay if I'm in a good mood?"

The Taoist priest became interested when he heard this, "Okay, go ahead, but I've said before that you and I are destined to be together, so I won't charge you anyway."

"It's up to you. The word is - Honkai." Akito said jokingly, with a teasing look on his face.

The Taoist pretended to pinch his fingers, his movements were smooth and natural, and he did it in one go, as if he had practiced it for hundreds of years, looking quite skilled.

"Honkai... You are deeply entangled with this word. This thing is too dangerous."

Akito said doubtfully, "Just make do with it."

The Taoist priest smiled and repeated the fortune-telling action again.

While calculating, the Taoist said: "Amazing, really amazing. You are now gifted, peaceful, and happy, and present a noble appearance..."

"Don't praise me. I don't even want to expose you. Is there a big twist in the story? Something like the loved one leaving you, or being backstabbed by your brother?"

The Taoist priest ignored him, but frowned more and more, then relaxed and said seriously: "It's a pity that it looks like gold and jade on the outside, but it's rotten inside."

Akito was immediately displeased and said sarcastically, "Hey, hey, we just met by chance, there's no need to scold me like that. It's not like I don't understand what this sentence means. Under the bright and gorgeous appearance, there is a rotten and corrupt heart. This scolding is too vicious."

The Taoist priest said leisurely, "Who said that the heart is made of rotten cotton? You have many people who love you around you now, and you just got a girlfriend, right?"

Akito suddenly got inspired and denied, "No, you guessed wrong."

The Taoist smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't admit it. But do you really like her, or do you think of her as a substitute for someone else? Can you answer this?"

"…" Akito's eyes widened and his breathing became a little rapid.

He looked away guiltily. The faint light from the street lamp was flickering, and Akito could not see it because he lowered his head.

"I think you are a bit unpleasant," Akito said frankly.

"The truth is never welcomed. Lies that are mixed together are often the most popular. I can't see through you, and I can't predict everything, but with the help of your friend, you will definitely reach the best ending. Someone is fighting for a better world; you fight for her, and she fights for you."

"Also, remember to take good care of your body."

After saying that, the Taoist priest left a "meaningful" smile, quietly walked into the corner, and disappeared from Akito's sight.

Akito chased after him but did not see any trace of him, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

'This strange person, could he really be the fortune teller in the novel? How could such a person exist in the Honkai world?'

(TL: Bruh forgot mama Aponia)

'Friend, do you mean the system?'

'System, come out and give an explanation.'

[I don't know about the island (know). Compared to that, the host should really reflect on it. From tomorrow on, treat Mei as Raiden Mei, not Hokuchin. Five-star favorability has never been achieved by any skills or witty remarks.]

[Only sincerity can exchange sincerity.]

Akito was a little depressed. The Taoist's words were quite accurate, but Akito himself didn't quite understand whether his love for Mei was a replacement.

"True to true love? That makes sense. I will do it. Now I need to go home and take a shower. I sweated a lot after the competition during the day. I can't stand it."

Akito trotted back to his apartment, took out his key, and opened the door, and a burst of light came in.

"The light is not turned off? I wouldn't make such a stupid mistake."

Akito immediately thought of a thief, but he dismissed the idea after hearing the sound of a shower.

How could a thief take a shower in someone else's house openly?

Out of politeness, Akito walked to the bathroom and knocked gently on the door: "Hello, who are you? You have to pay to take a shower in my house. I'll give you five minutes. Come to the living room after you're done and explain the situation."

'Well, perfect way to handle it.'

Akito sat on the sofa, turned on the TV out of boredom, and waited silently.

Soon, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, the door was slowly pushed open, and a petite girl walked out in the misty water vapor.

She had an expressionless face, light gray curly hair and eyes, a small and upright nose, a snow-white neck, and her whole body was wrapped in a bath towel.

At first glance...it's flat, so peaceful.

Just like the flat ground where an airplane takes off and taxis, it is "plain" and "boring."

The second day of missing Big Duck...

After confirming the other person's identity, Akito suppressed his smile and covered his mouth with his hand to make his expression look more normal.

Bronya said coldly, "Do you want to laugh?"

Hearing Bronya's tone, Akito immediately sat up straight, looking very serious.

Changing the subject, he said, "Ahem, first tell me why you are in my house. Who are you? How did you get in?"

Of course, Akito knew it, but he couldn't just walk over to her, look at her lovingly, and say lovingly - Baby, I will be your boyfriend in eight years!

Akito had no doubt that before his hands touched Bronya's body, the Project Bunny would blow him into pieces.

Bronya picked up an Akito coat and put it on as if she were at home.

"Hey, those are my clothes."

"Oh, really? Are you sure you want to take it back?"

Akito was scared, "No, forget it, just put it on first, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."

Bronya pulled her coat tighter, took out a contract, and said expressionlessly, "From now on, I will live in your house. This is an unequal... no, sign this equal contract."

Akito was sweating profusely. 'You just said inequality, right? I guess I heard it right?'

"Let me call the landlord first. After all, this is his house. I'm just a tenant," Akito shifted his focus.

Unexpectedly, Bronya took out a bunch of brass keys. She gently turned her wrist, and the keys collided with each other, making a "ding ding ding" sound.

"I have bought this apartment, so now, I am the landlord."

Akito looked at the key shaking in Bronya's hand in disbelief. It was indeed the landlord's key. Did Bronya become a landlady?

"Well, that's not good. Look, there are only two rooms, a toilet, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room here. It's not very big. Besides, we are a single man and a single woman... It will be bad for your reputation if it gets out."

Akito was tactful enough not to mention Bronya's parents. This was a small act of kindness.

"I have been observing you for a while, and I am very satisfied with your housework ability, so I will live here normally and leave the chores to you."

Akito asked tentatively, "I'm afraid this won't work, right?"

"The rent is halved."

"I think it's worth considering."

"The water and electricity bills are all included, and you can ask me to reimburse all your daily expenses."

"Miss Landlord, do you have any luggage that I need help packing?"

Capitalists fear no profit or too little profit, just as nature fears a vacuum.

Once there is adequate profit, capitalists become bolder.

If there is a ten percent profit, he is guaranteed to be used everywhere.

With a 20 percent profit, he becomes active;

With a fifty percent profit, he took the risk;

For the sake of 100% profit, he dares to trample on all human laws;

With a profit of 300 %, he would dare to commit any crime, even risk being hanged.

Akito is not a capitalist, he is just simply poor.
