Suddenly one day, there came to Teiko Real Estate...
...the house-selling woman, Sangen'ya Machi.
Seems the new Chief coming tomorrow is an amazing beauty, huh?
The rumor is she's the President's mistress, though.
I am Sangen'ya Machi.
My last month's sales were1,580 million yen.
At times she would lead her customers around by the nose...
...and other times when she would abuse her subordinates.
She would even go so far as to cut a branch off a tree in a stranger's garden...
...in order to sell a house.
Even so, she's a woman with a mysterious ability to grasp a person's heart...
...while selling them houses.
They fell for it.
Go!
Is this woman really a Goddess here to save the Sales Division from their underachieving sales results?
Or a devil who will lead them to ruin?
There is no house that I can't sell!
Sangen'ya-san must get a huge income...
...so I wonder what sort of house she lives in?
"June 2012..."
8 Family Members Brutally Murdered
"...unsolved case of 8 family members murdered."
8 Family Members Brutally Murdered
Like I thought, it was here.
What are you looking at?
Whaa!
The phone.
Ah... Yes.
Yes. This is Teiko Real Estate, Shinjuku Office. I'm Niwano.
We're considering moving to another house...
...so could you advise us about that?
Huh?
Hello?
Ah... yes.
If you would please...
...could you come to our home tomorrow?
Of course. I will come to you.
Your name and address.
My name is Jogasaki.
Yes.
Then I'll look forward to working with you.
Huh?
Whaa! I'm sorry.
Is there something?
Ah, well, um...
What is it?
You went home just a little while ago, didn't you?
What about it?
Why did you come back to the company again?
In order to sell houses.
Eh?
We have reached the bottom.
The doors are closing.
Um...
Is there a reason why you bought a house that was the scene of a crime?
That was because it was cheap.
That house was cheap?
You watched and tailed me to a house. It has a monthly lease of 50,000 yen.
($468)
Eh?! That mansion is only 50,000 yen a month?!
I guess that's...
...because 8 family members were murdered there, right?
That doesn't scare you?
It does scare me.
Doors will open and close on their own.
Ehh... Will you be okay there, Sangen'ya-san?
Rather than worrying about me, sell houses!
Heiwa Fansubs Presents
Ie Uru Onna (House-selling Woman)
Even with the apartment in Mejiro's Sakanoe...
Teiko Real Estate Co, Ltd.
...that was sold by Chief Sangen'ya...
...at this rate, we'll still be far short of our sales goal for this month.
All of you get appointments during the week and go on the offense here.
Yes.
Takuma, what are you doing today? Have you gotten an appointment?
Eh? With me? Eh... Um...
I haven't gotten any appointments yet, so I'll be making calls after this.
Oh... do your best.
Yes.
Hachinohe!
Ah... I'll be doing the same.
Fuse-san.
The same for me.
Adachi.
The same.
Niwano.
I've gotten one new appointment.
Since they wish to move to another residence, this will be a double sell/buy deal.
Since you have yet to sell anything this month, be sure to get this one!
Yes! I'll do my best!
How about you, Chief Sangen'ya?
I have two appointments for the morning and two in the afternoon.
Four appointments in one day... Just what I'd expect of you.
That's right, Hachinohe! A complaint has come from the President of our company...
...that the apartment next to the cemetery hasn't been sold yet.
Shall I switch the one in charge to Adachi?
I will sell that home.
Well... don't bother, Chief Sangen'ya. How about it, Adachi?
I'll give it a try.
Yeah.
Then Shirasu, you post flyers for the apartment that Adachi is newly in charge of.
Yes.
That should do it for this morning's meeting, so all of you today and every day...
...do your cheerful best!
Yes!
Shirasu Mika.
Show me one of those flyers.
Yes.
What are the main selling points for this property?
Now, now, now...
What would you do if someone asked you about this property?
Since all you have to do for now is just post those flyers...
...get going.
Yes.
This won't be finished by just posting 1,000 of these.
Get out there determined to get that apartment sold.
Never mind that and get going.
Yes.
Why not just throw them away in some restroom?
Eh?
I'm going!
Well, didn't she get motivated all of the sudden?
What kind of advice did you just give Shirasu?
"Back in our era, we used to pass out 3,000 flyers a day"...
...is what I told her.
You lived in a different era, Fuse-san.
That's true, isn't it? It was a different era, wasn't it?
Oh! It's been a long time, Sangen'ya-san!
You take quick action and are reliable.
I would like to see the condos you wish to sell.
And besides, you're always beautiful to look at.
Thank you very much.
Here at this condominium's entrance...
...there's a home-delivery box placed on the ground floor, right?
Makes it easy to have packages delivered, doesn't it?
For such things placed near common-use areas on the first floor...
...the sounds of people coming and going can be too loud and wouldn't settle down...
...so I can't necessarily say it would be an advantage, since clients will hate that.
Over there is the home I'm living in now.
And here is the home my son and his wife lived in until a little while ago.
Now, enter, enter.
Because the entranceway is the first thing a buyer sees as they enter from outside...
...you should add a little something to this part...
...so the buyer's expectations will grow as they enter inside.
That would take money, wouldn't it?
I will arrange it for you cheaply.
Then, should I take this down?
Is that a climbing wall?
Yes. At one time my son was getting himself fit.
Used equipment left behind has the charm...
...of those who had lived here before.
I think this will be fine as is.
Really?
A 2 LDK, 25 million yen.
Then this time have a look at my home.
Because it has been used yet is very clean...
...a 1 LDK, 20 million yen.
The two combined, 45 million yen.
Please sell them for me!
Please leave it to me. I will sell...
...the two of them together.
Okay...
Maybe I'll watch a romance movie.
This week's Movies
Sounds good...
Jogasaki
I am Niwano of Teiko Real Estate, Shinjuku Office.
This is my husband.
Sorry for having you come all the way out here.
Not in the least.
This is a splendid entranceway, isn't it?
Would you allow me to look around inside your home?
Yes, come in.
Yes.
This is the living room.
It's wonderful, isn't it?
Could I see the second floor as well?
Yes, go ahead.
This is our bedroom.
Ah, um... This is the second floor bathroom.
You have a bathroom on the second floor.
And that is?
Ah, that's just a little...
Um... it's a storage room and is quite messy...
...so please don't look in there.
Jogasaki-sama, it's just you and your husband living in this splendid house, isn't it?
Yes. Since our children left this house long ago.
I believe it should be put up for sale at 50 million yen.
Will it sell?
I think a beautiful house like this would sell.
But somehow it's just too good for you to sell it off.
No. From here on we want to live...
...in a small apartment without any stairs.
Anywhere would be fine.
Eh? Anywhere would be fine?
Yes.
Ah... the second floor toilet...
...flushes on its own.
Ah...
It's self cleaning.
Right, right, right...
Well then, tomorrow I'll propose some new apartments for you.
Please help us out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... Really?
Yes.
Since I think this current property will sell for 50 million yen...
...I was thinking of introducing them to a new apartment in the 40 million yen range.
Yo!
Ah... still too early for that, right?
Well then, how about the property in Nishiwaseda?
Or the 42 million yen property in Honancho.
You really do have all our properties in your head.
How many years do you think I've been doing this?
Niwano-san, a call from Jogasaki-sama on line 1.
Yes.
Yes, this is Niwano. Thank you very much.
Um, we forgot to tell you this earlier...
...but we're looking for an apartment...
...in the 20 million to 25 million yen range, please.
Eh? Why is that?
That is our wish.
Well, ah...
What was it?
Jogasaki-sama said that their preferred upper limit for the budget be 25 million yen.
For such things, you have to take the bull by the horns.
If their current house is likely to sell for 50 million yen...
...the trick is to suggest a much more expensive property.
Yes.
Their budget is weird and they have a forbidden room on the second floor.
Something fishy about this.
Ah...
Wonder if I should go back after eating one more cake?
I'd like to order!
I'm back!
Welcome back. Thanks for your hard work.
You're working hard.
Shirasu Mika.
You threw away those flyers, didn't you?
I didn't throw them away!
Now, now, now...
Go right now to the property shown on the flyer.
And then tomorrow...
...talk to me for 5 minutes about that property's selling points.
"Go right now..." Working hours are already over, aren't they?
To compensate for the time she spent goofing off during the day.
Section Chief! I wasn't goofing off!
I've returned!
Fool! Fool! Fool!
Why are you being so harsh on Shirasu?
Because I hate irresponsible guys.
You have to patiently teach someone who can't do things, 10 or even 100 times over.
And when they've done even a little something, praise them and motivate them.
That's the education policy these days.
Ah... this guidance manual for subordinates that you threw away the other day...
Since a request came in about it from Human Resources...
...please read it over carefully this time.
I have no intention of educating anyone in anything.
The sole unpleasant thing for me is when an irresponsible guy comes into my view.
Once that unpleasant thing has been removed...
...the unpleasantness disappears. That is all.
If Shirasu Mika were to tell me she was going to quit...
...then that would be fine. Since she would then disappear from my view.
Shirasu quitting wouldn't cause trouble for anyone, huh?
Adachi Satoshi!
Yes!
Have you looked at the property you took over from Hachinohe-san?
I went and looked at it earlier.
Shirasu Mika, you go there, too.
GO!
You don't have to go!
I have to go, don't I?! I'm going!
Wow, she went berserk.
Someone go stop her!
Huh?!
I'm going.
Section Chief.
Huh?
This has a meaning different from Chief Sangen'ya's...
...but I don't intend to train those below me, either.
Huh?
Isn't this work like being a one-man firm?
It's all I can do just doing my own work without having to train anyone else.
You fool!
In our Section, everyone joins forces to sell houses!
We aren't one-man firms! We're a team!
The Yashiro Team!
We're a team?
Eh?
Sanchi's an idiot! Sanchi's an idiot!
Sanchi's an idiot, Sanchi's an idiot...
"Next door to a cemetery."
This isn't cool.
The more I see of it, the worse it gets!
Whaa!
Shuddup!
Shaddup! Shh! Shh!
It's dark...
NO!! Whaa! Kyaa!
Until that woman came...
...I was using Shirasu well, right?
I'm a great Section Chief.
Great! Great! You're great even now, aren't you?
I am great, but since that woman came...
...even Adachi has come to defy me.
Prince Adachi defied you with that cute face of his?
Just where?! Just where is that guy cute?!
Sorry, sorry. Yoshiro-san, you're far more wonderful.
Just where am I wonderful?
Wonderful, wonderful. You're truly wonderful!
Then do the usual.
Pain, pain fly away!
Chichin Pui, Pui, Pui, Pui, Pui!
Ah... that feels so good.
Yes, more pui-pui's please.
Pui, pui, pui!
Good morning.
'Morning. It's hot out again today.
It is hot, isn't it?
It's hot.
Good morning.
'Morning.
You're powered-up first thing in the morning, aren't you?
Niwano.
Yes?
I will go with you today to tour houses with the Jogasaki-sama's.
Eh...
Going to take credit for it again?
"Niwano didn't sell it; I did!"
Shall I sell the properties you are in charge of as well, Fuse-san?
Ah... don't want you doing that, no matter what...
8th floor.
Good morning.
Um...
Good morning. I went and saw that property last night.
Starting now, please talk about the attractions of that property for 5 minutes.
And... start!
Saying such a thing so suddenly...
That's right. Though it's a small apartment complex, it does have an elevator.
Ah... The End.
You're still short by 4 minutes and 50 seconds.
But it's a very unattractive property.
In what way?
It's on a narrow street and it's surprisingly dangerous what with the cars that travel on it.
For a woman who is afraid of walking alone at night...
...that heavy traffic is a plus.
Ah... and there's a cemetery next door and geckos have gotten into the room.
If a cemetery is nearby, it's unlikely any tall buildings will be built there.
It will always have good exposure to the sun.
Since geckos will eat pests...
...they have been considered guardian angels of homes since olden days.
Geckos have?
You only see one side of things.
Before going out to post flyers, I want you to go back there once more...
...and take a good look at that property.
Shirasu Mika.
GO!
Yes...
Ah, ow... What is this?
Ah, 'morning.
Good morning.
Whaa!
Are you hungover?
"Chichin Pui Pui" again?
Then the meeting will...
...get started.
Come in.
It's dark.
Is it?
Why is this entranceway so dark?
Since the entranceway is an important place connecting the outside of the house to the inside, right?
And... How much is this place?
38 million yen.
Eh? But yesterday we told you nothing higher than 25 million yen.
Um... Do you have circumstances where you need to have that much cash left over?
If we don't talk to you about that, you won't help us look for a house?
No, that's not what I meant...
Out of the way.
I am very sorry.
I will hear your story once more from the start at your home.
Jogasaki
I am sorry for taking up your time.
No...
I will ask you this frankly.
Is it true that you two are the only ones living here?
Ah.
Excuse me.
Ah!
It's a fire! A fire!
Eh? What is this?
Niwano!
Eh?
You say it, too! GO!
It... it's a fire! A fire!
There's a fire!
A fire!
It's a fire! A fire! There's a fire! A fire!
A fire! A fire!
There's a fire! A fire!
A fire? Where's the fire?
Eh? There is... no fire...
Who... who is this middle-aged man?
That just now was your son, wasn't it?
Eh?!
Yoshiki has been a hikikomori up on the second floor...
(a person who has withdrawn from society)
...for 20 years now.
That just now was the first time we've seen him ourselves in 20 years.
He's gotten old.
I didn't know who he was.
He left the university and found a job...
...but he failed at human relations and resigned.
He's been up on the second floor ever since.
We told everyone in the neighborhood that he had been given an overseas appointment.
We were ashamed.
I'm starving Bring food
Thank you for eating the food.
The sakura trees are blooming along the river today.
At first I wanted to get him to go outside...
...but various things happened...
...and now we've given up on him.
Um... what about taking baths?
He takes one while we're sleeping.
We thought of lying in wait to see his face...
...but on the days we tried, he just wouldn't come out at all.
It's like he has this animal instinct for it.
Ah...
We thought about what would happen to him after we died and were worried.
We want to sell this house for a more modest one...
...and leave the remaining money to that boy.
He could live, even if he didn't work.
Understood.
We will search for a castle where...
...your son can be a hikikomori and not show himself to the world.
Excuse me...
They're supporting their hikikomori son. They are, aren't they?
Do you know about their son?
There isn't anyone around here who doesn't know about him.
Because that son opens his second floor window every night and looks up at the sky.
What sort of people are you two?
Ah... please excuse us.
If he's opening a window and looking at the sky, that son must want to go outside.
It's strange getting him a castle to be a hikikomori in.
Why?
Because he himself wants to go out, doesn't he?
So we should be supporting him going out.
I increasingly think it's strange...
...for us to help a man of his age to be a hikikomori.
It is my job to sell houses.
That's true, but...
Rather than give me advice, sell that house.
Yoshiki's Long Hikikomori Life
"Yoshiki's Long Hikikomori Life."
"Hello. On my 7,356th day as a hikikomori..."
"...this is the hikikomori, YOSHIKI."
"Into my empty life just now, an event occurred like a meteorite falling."
"A super-beauty was in my house!"
"A man who was next to that beauty looked at me and said..."
..."'Who is this middle-aged man?'"
"I realized it for the first time."
"That I'm..."
"...a middle-aged man."
The image we have of a hikikomori is of a high school student, isn't it?
But this one is a middle-aged guy. An ordinary middle-aged guy.
Seems there's been a lot of middle-aged hikikomoris recently.
He's spent 20 years withdrawing himself since he was young, huh?
It's because Japan has a system where if you fail even once, you can't recover from it.
It's a tragedy.
Lamentations don't sell houses!
Shirasu-kun.
Shirasu Mika-kun!
Adachi-san!
What are you doing?
Um, I was told to look at this property by Sanchi... Ah, I mean Chief Sangen'ya.
Is that so.
Ah... didn't that dog at the entrance bark at you?
He did bark. But when I spoke about it to the Manager...
...he said that thanks to that dog, the neighborhood underwear thief went away.
Really?!
Because this place faces West...
...I think it will get some beautiful sunsets.
Look.
I was just in time for one.
Because a room facing West gets sunshine in the afternoons...
...you can take long naps during the day...
...and still keep cool even without the air conditioner.
Let's add this photo to the flyer.
Wonderful... so pretty.
Photos like these are much the same as ones done for omiais.
Because people decide whether they want to see it or not based off of it.
So you should take the very best photos of them with all your heart.
Then... Adachi-san, take one of me, too.
Another time.
There are no new comments
Fuse-san, what do you really think of me?
Ah... Let's see...
I think you're a seriously great man.
A great man?
Yes.
Have I become a great man?
You have, you have.
I have!
I'm sure you have.
Ah, you have, you have.
Kokoro-chan, long ago this guy...
...was my respected Senpai who got far better sales results than I ever did.
Is that right?
Then I blundered by doing this.
(he's indicating he had an affair)
No way!
He'd say, "Yashiro, Yashiro!" and drive me hard back then.
Because at work this Fuse-san was a man...
...who could go berserk and still be popular.
You might not believe that, though.
Ehh... I can't believe it.
I can't believe it, either.
Ah... Oi, Yashiro. You shouldn't go and do...
...all those little things for the company...
...and just take things much easier.
It's not like the company's giving you anything back for it.
And don't just grumble to yourself about it.
Stop being a company slave and digest it all away in a paid vacation.
You're not convincing like that.
Well anyhow, you don't hold a candle against that Sanchi.
That's true, isn't it?
Someone's got her back.
Otherwise she wouldn't be brimming over with such confidence.
That's not...
Who was it that sent her to our office?
The company President?
Or the Managing Director of Sales?
Eh?
Just what is it they're targeting?
Is it you?
Eh?
Isn't there some power astir to get you ousted?
Rather than clashing with each of them one by one...
...wouldn't it be best to just calmly go away?
I think you've got yourself a serious opponent in that Sanchi.
Fuse-san, are you saying...
...that Sangen'ya Machi is a spy?!
Who knows...
Who knows.
Eh?
This is it.
Are you dead?
Hey, you're just sleeping, right?
She's alive...
They'll fall for it.
Eh?
For the sake of your son, the hikikomori...
...I recommend this place.
It's close to the train station...
...and is a 2 LDK for 25 million yen.
Since this complex has a home delivery box at its entrance...
...your son can receive packages without having to face the courier.
In addition, because this condo is the one closest to the home delivery box...
...the likelihood of him encountering the other residents is low.
Please look at this photo.
It is a rock-climbing wall.
What is that?
Ah, look...
...that's for those guys who climb walls.
Ah... we have seen that on TV.
That's it, that's it.
His lack of exercise is a serious problem.
If he has this wall, he can gain muscular strength as well as relieve his stress.
Furthermore, with this climbing wall attached...
...it makes the wall thicker, lessening the sounds leaking in from the neighbors...
...and thus your son need not be troubled by sounds from the outside world.
It is surely a miracle property.
Not only this one, but I think the Jogasaki-sama's...
...should also purchase the 1 LDK, 20 million yen condo...
...that lies right next door to it.
Eh?
Eh!
But two apartments would be...
You should live here in the 2 LDK one...
...while renting out the neighboring 1 LDK one.
Sell this house for 50 million yen...
...and then purchase these two condos for a sum total of 45 million yen...
...and then secure a rental income from this 1 LDK.
Secure a rental income?
Even after you two have passed away, your son can then...
...be a hikikomori until he is 100 years old!
If you were to purchase only this resident-use condo for 25 million yen...
...then after the two of you passed away...
...your son would soon have to find work!
As his parents, do you think your son would be able to work in society after this?
Ah... It's Yoshiki.
Don't be tricked
I wonder if he heard us?
I want to talk to him directly.
Ah!
This is Teiko Real Estate's Sangen'ya Machi. I want to talk to you directly.
Ah, no! Don't stress him!
Ah!
Let's meet
Eh?!
I will go.
Ah... Ah...
Ah, wait, wait, wait...
Niwano-san!
Please, don't stress out our boy!
Yes.
Um...
Wait! Wait...
So pretty...
Don't need the man though.
I am Teiko Real Estate's Sangen'ya Machi.
For your sake, Jogasaki Yoshiki-sama...
...I thought I should search for a hikikomori castle for you.
I feel I want to ask you some things regarding that.
May I do so?
Why are you inside that box right now?
It's embarrassing...
Huh?
What did you say just now?
Say it once more, please.
"Be... cause... it's embarrassing."
Is that right. I understand.
Well then, we shall talk like this.
Why did you become a hikikomori?
Go ahead.
"Why do you want to know?"
That is because any house I recommend to you...
...will have a profound affect on your life.
I will not force you if you wish not to talk about it.
I'll tell you.
Go ahead.
"October, 1996."
"At Paris..." Paris?
"I was giving a presentation at an international conference."
"At that time..."
"It... leaked... out."
It leaked out? A secret?
Ah... your poop.
"My poop leaked out."
"You're going to say, 'For such a thing as that.'"
No! I will not say that!
I understand your feelings for becoming a hikikomori.
I feel that is a sufficient reason to make a break from society.
But, at this rate...
...you will starve to death.
If you continue living in this house...
...your maximum time here as a hikikomori would be 9 more years, 10 months.
After that, you will not be able to live...
...unless you yourself earn 110,000 yen each month.
To avoid that, your parents need to buy one condo...
...and rent out another so that you can become a hikikomori landlord...
...and thus prepare a lifeline for yourself so you can live...
...even if you become alone!
This proposal has the strongest survival plan...
...for the sake of your survival.
Please look at this afterwards.
Do you have any questions?
Well then, excuse us.
Ah...
Is there something?
Like I thought, this is strange, Sangen'ya-san.
Coming up with a strong plan so he can remain a hikikomori until he's 100.
As on the day when I first came to this house and again today...
Look, shoes that have been polished to a shine were placed in the entranceway.
I believe this is the feelings of those parents...
...saying that they want their son to go outside.
Worthless.
Eh?
Ah...
Those shoes only increased the pressure on him to remain a hikikomori.
His hikikomori isn't so weak...
...that he would be drawn out by some shiny shoes.
Ma'am, how long have you been doing such whitewashing things?
This couple already understand.
That after having let a man go from his 20's to his mid 40's without working...
...that even if they forced him to go out, he wouldn't be able to do anything!
Do not speak of boring common sense and narrow value things.
THIS is why you haven't sold a house, Niwano!
Well then, after all your trouble.
Thank you very much for today.
Eh? What are you looking at?
Ah, I look at this from time to time.
Hmm...
A hikikomori?
YOSHIKI's Hikikomori Landlord Life
"Hello. On my 7,357th day as a hikikomori..."
"...this is the hikikomori, YOSHIKI."
"Starting today, I will be changing the title of my blog."
"The new title is..."
YOSHIKI's Hikikomori Landlord Life
"YOSHIKI's Hikikomori Landlord Life."
"I have thought up a survival plan that will allow me to be a hikikomori..."
"...until I'm 100 by economizing."
"With this, I may be able to move forward."
Hikikomori Strongest Survival Plan
"I will publish it serially, starting tomorrow."
"I want all those hikikomori readers out there who have realized..."
"...they've become middle-aged men just like me, to please read this."
I want all those hikikomori readers out there who have realized they've become middle-aged men just like me, to please read this.
Hmm...
"I'm looking forward to your weird series."
Madoka
I'm looking forward to your weird series.
Good luck to you.
"Good luck to you."
Yes.
Comment (1)
Madoka
I'm looking forward to your weird series.
Good luck to you.
Niwano, how did it go?
That... Where should I begin?
Section Chief.
Eh?!
Tomorrow I will be going on a tour with the Jogasaki-samas to look over their future home.
Did you let yourself get cut out by Sangen'ya again?
Ah...
I've finished the sample.
It's wonderful!
I will take this flyer out tomorrow and get that property sold.
I'll go with you.
Shirasu Mika.
What is it?
Please talk to me for 5 full minutes about this property. And... start!
Let's see...
Within a five minute walk from it, there is a supermarket and convenience store...
...and because there is a lot of traffic along the road to the apartments at night...
...a woman can feel okay while walking alone then.
Oh... that was good, Shirasu.
And let's see...
Ah, sorry, I won't jump in anymore.
Ah... While a neighbor there keeps a dog that barks a lot...
...thanks to that dog, an underwear thief went away.
30 seconds.
Let's see... Let's see...
Ah, because this apartment faces West...
...it's okay to sleep in during the mornings.
And the sunsets are incredibly pretty.
And, although there is a cemetery nearby...
...I don't think there will be any tall buildings built in the future because of that cemetery.
That guarantees it will always get sunshine.
Hmm...
Gecko.
Ah, although there are geckos there...
...geckos are called guardian angels of homes...
...and you should go out of your way to keep one that comes...
The End.
That was great, Shirasu!
Yeah!
The total was 1 minute, 45 seconds. There were still 3 minutes, 15 seconds remaining.
You will go back to that local sale exhibition tomorrow...
...and look over that property once more!
Eh...
GO!
Yes.
Ow! Look ahead...
Is there something?
Are you saying that Sangen'ya Machi is a spy?!
No... It's nothing.
Local Sales Exhibition Inside
No one's coming, are they?
That's true, isn't it?
Then I'll go have a quick lunch.
Ah... I'll come along with you.
Shirasu, you stay here.
Eh...
Be a good girl and stay here.
Ah... yes.
Ah... But what should I do if a customer comes?
Don't worry. A customer won't come.
Yes...
A... da... chi.
And a heart.
Ah, Adachi-san has come back.
Welcome back!
You're holding a local sales meeting here, right?
Ah... yes.
Could you explain to me what's good about this property?
Yes. Let's see... Let's see...
The afternoon sun.
Afternoon sun?! Eh? Are you selling that?
And then next door is a cemetery.
A cemetery? That's scary!
And then, and then, there's geckos here.
We can't live here!
Rimi-chan, this place won't do, will it?
Yeah. Let's go back home.
Sorry for bothering you.
Leaving already?
I am Adachi of Teiko Real Estate.
Thank you very much for coming to a hot place such as this.
Did you not care for this property?
Since it gets the afternoon sun...
...there's a cemetery next door and geckos have gotten in...
Ma'am.
Ye... yes?
Those are this property's charming points.
Come this way.
Please gaze at that mountain ridge.
While staring at the sun setting slowly behind that ridge...
...it could be said you can feel the earth or even the universe itself.
I don't think that sort of scenery is easy to come by here in Tokyo.
Mountain... ridge...
Ah but, there's a cemetery next door, right?
That means there won't be any...
...tall buildings built in this area.
I can guarantee you'll have sunny days for a long time after this.
I see.
But she said geckos get in here.
That's because there's a great deal of nature around here.
And did you know?
Geckos are called the guardian angels of homes.
Geckos... are the best...
How about it? I can propose a special price...
...of 15.9 million yen here at this local sales exhibition right now.
My...
Mom, this place might be best.
You're right.
Adachi-san, you're a constructive thinker.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
What's the matter?
Because...
...your descriptions were so very awesome.
But you were able to do that at the company yesterday too, weren't you?
But that wasn't in front of a customer.
I'm...
...going to quit the company.
You are free to do that.
Ah! Adachi-san! No, wait!
Here is the home-delivery box.
Ah...
This is the 2 LDK property where you will live.
My... what a wonderful entranceway.
Because I remembered your wife telling us that...
...the entranceway was an important place...
...connecting the outside to your stay at home.
It is the entranceway that puts you in a positive frame of mind as you go out...
...and makes you feel good when you come back.
This is nice. Right, Dear?
Yeah.
You will not need to set out your son's shoes in the entranceway any longer.
But this entranceway will be a wonderful entranceway for his parents.
This is the living room.
This will be your son's private room.
My...
That is interesting, isn't it?
Even I want to climb it a little.
Go ahead.
Eh?
Don't forget you've got bad knees.
That's right.
First off, would you like to live in...
...this 2 LDK, 25 million yen condo?
They fell for it.
Section Chief, the owner Inoue-san has selected the Jogasaki-samas...
...to purchase both his 1 LDK and 2 LDK condos.
Niwano didn't sell it; I did.
With Sangen'ya-san's fourth sale...
Sales Report Table
...that brings her sales to 294 million yen.
Total sales for our company are now at 702 million yen!
You go, Chief Sangen'ya.

Hikikomori Landlord's Happy Life
Jogasaki Yoshiki
More than 1 Million sold!
Today, for our live event...
...we are with the author of "The Hikikomori Landlord's Happy Life"...
...to introduce you to the hikikomori commentator, YOSHIKI-san.
By the way, here are his parents, relaxing in their living room.
While YOSHIKI-san is a hikikomori in his own home...

...and has established a unique lifestyle.
He is being consulted by all the many hikikomori commentators...
...about his hikikomori life plan now.
Well then, I think we will go straight away to YOSHIKI-san's room...

Ah, YOSHIKI-san!
How are you feeling right now?
All sorts of things happen in life!
