Yusei tentatively looked at Kanako, "How much did this house cost?"
Kanako's smile stiffened slightly. "The total was 220 million yen. However, Koken-san gave us a 50% discount, so it only cost 110 million yen."
Yusei nodded silently, 'So I was sold for over 100 million yen. Not bad, not a loss.'
'But... even 110 million Yen... my family shouldn't have that much money, right?
As if seeing Yusei's confusion, Kanako smiled slightly.
"Your father and I used our savings and some of the money you earned to pay the down payment. We'll pay off the remaining balance in installments later."
Yusei nodded. This was within his expectations, as he was clear about his family's financial situation.
"I'll pay the remaining amount. My manga is popular, and once the royalties come in, I should be able to pay it off soon."
"That won't do. You should keep that money for your own future family." Kanako shook her head.
Yusei gave Kanako a strange look and coughed lightly, "Mom, you haven't forgotten that the person you engaged me to is Shinomiya Kaguya, right?"
Kanako was momentarily stunned, then understood the meaning behind Yusei's words.
She sighed inwardly. Actually, the engagement wasn't their idea, and it was proposed by Koken.
And the couple's immediate agreement was actually made after careful consideration.
First, Yusei was Koken's disciple, treated like his own grandson. He wouldn't be mistreated or bullied.
Second, the Shinomiya Family was vast and powerful. Yusei would definitely be marrying into their family. But in return, he would gain a superior lifestyle.
Having struggled in society for so many years, the Kazami Couple knew it wasn't easy to survive, let alone live with status and dignity.
They didn't want Yusei to end up like them, constantly worrying about daily necessities and trivial matters.
So, even though marrying into the family might mean being looked down upon, his livelihood would be secure.
Moreover, Kanako had met Kaguya last time.
She was very well-mannered and polite. She didn't ignore them despite the vast difference in status, and she even treated them like elders.
Perhaps Yusei had someone he liked more, but from the Kazami Couple's perspective, Kaguya was the most outstanding daughter-in-law.
Most importantly, she was personally outstanding, filial to elders, gentle and considerate... The key was her family background could ensure Yusei a worry-free life.
As for telling Yusei to save money, it was actually because the couple worried Yusei had high self-esteem and wouldn't be content living under someone else's roof.
They wanted him to save some money now so he wouldn't be too intimidated to speak up in the Shinomiya Household later.
Seeing Kanako fall into thoughtful silence, Yusei didn't say anything more.
Clearly, his parents had bought the house through the Shinomiya Family's real estate business. He would just go and pay for it himself later, bypassing his parents.
As for why they wanted him to save money... Yusei didn't dwell on it further.
However, if Yusei knew his parents had been thinking so many convoluted thoughts, he would be both amused and exasperated.
A live-in son-in-law lacking confidence... that was certainly true.
But Yusei never planned to be a live-in son-in-law.
Putting that aside, as a property sold by the Shinomiya Family's real estate business in Bunkyo Ward, the decoration inside the house was also full of scholarly elegance.
Three bedrooms,… one large, two small. Besides that, there was a study. Although not huge, the arrangement of the empty bookshelves and the layout made the room feel uncrowded.
The living room was spacious. The fluffy carpet on the floor was a very thoughtful design, allowing children to play and roll around freely if there were any.
There were many other aspects... In short, Yusei was very satisfied with this new home.
After giving simple instructions, Kanako left.
The couple had finally managed to kick out the troublesome kids and couldn't wait to start their 'couple time'.
Seeing that neither Kanna nor Shiro had moved, only Tohru was excitedly picking a room, Yusei looked curiously at the two little girls.
"Aren't you going to pick a room you like? Kanna can sleep with Tohru. That way, there are enough rooms, right?"
However, Yusei didn't expect both Shiro and Kanna to shake their heads in unison.
"Shiro is Nii's body pillow. Nii can't sleep well without Shiro."
Kanna, over there, also nodded calmly.
"Kanna will become Yusei's wife. Sleeping together is natural."
This so-called 'natural' certainly wasn't the case in their dragon world. After dragons procreated, some would go destroy the world, others would live alone in a corner.
Of course, there were dragon couples who lived together, but more often, the muscle-brained ones would scatter and fight humans.
Kanna's 'natural' naturally came from learning about this world through various channels, like TV, computers, magazines, etc.
Shiro had always had a good relationship with Kanna, and they usually played together at home.
But hearing Kanna's words, Shiro frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.
"Kanna, Nii has to sleep with me."
Not even her best friend was allowed!
Kanna was usually rather ditzy and forgot things quickly, but on this matter, she was uncharacteristically firm.
"No. Yusei is Kanna's husband. Sleeping together is only natural."
Then, Kanna looked at Yusei with a serious little face, "Yusei, you can relieve your sexual urges with Kanna. Kanna is fourteen thousand years old, and that's already an adult in human terms."
Yusei was momentarily at a loss for words. But relieving his sexual urges with Kanna was out of the question.
Immediately, he placed a hand on each of their heads.
"Alright. I'll take you to pick your rooms. You will sleep properly in your own rooms."
Soon, Kanna was placed in the room Tohru had chosen, and Shiro got the other one.
Tohru had chosen the large bedroom. Yusei didn't mind. It was fine for the two of them to sleep together, and more space was better.
After handling all this, Yusei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to his own room to properly experience the new home.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
