I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

What was contained in that carton was a frog juice drink known as "Peruvian Viagra" that he bought at a convenience store at a "big sale" price...

Yes, convenience stores occasionally try to sell something weird.

This freshly squeezed frog juice is said to be made by squeezing the meat and bones while the frog is still alive. It is pure natural and has no additives. It is very effective in that area and is very popular in Peru.

But it's such a good product, but I don't know if it's because of the taste or the ingredients, but even a bottle can't be sold! ! !

In the end, Araki Sousuke was cheaper.

Holding the cardboard box, Araki Sousuke walked out of the room humming a little tune.

Just as he opened the door, a note slipped through the crack of the door.

Araki Sousuke bent down to pick up the note, and saw the four characters "It's your turn" written on it with some kind of solidified red liquid.

"What... is it a child's prank?"

He crumpled up the note and threw it away without hesitation, and began to knock on the door of each room.

Since the Edo period, there has been a custom of "moving ceremony".

Newly-moved residents will greet their neighbors one by one, and send small gifts such as soba noodles, red bean porridge, and rice cakes as a good omen.

Especially buckwheat noodles, because the pronunciation is the same as the Japanese "beside", it has a good meaning of "always by my side".

But in modern times, people don't pay so much attention to the types of gifts, just make sense of it.

The reason why Sousuke Araki bought this expensive and scary drink at the cheapest price was just to use it as a meeting gift for neighbors.

The Kuramae apartment has five floors in total, and each floor has four suites of different sizes.

Araki Sousuke planned to just start visiting from the first floor. If no one was at home, he would put a note on the bottle with "102 new resident Araki Sousuke came to visit and made a small contribution to your family happiness" A giant frog juice was placed by the door.

He first tried to press the doorbell of 101 opposite him.

According to his observations in the past two days, there should be no people living on the opposite side.

Sure enough, 101 did not respond at all.

Then he went straight to apartment 103, which was the residence of the strange uncle who peeked at him through the crack of the door last time.

After lightly pressing the doorbell a few times, Araki Sousuke waited for about a minute, but no one responded.

Just as he turned to leave, the door of 103 opened.

It was still the pale eyeballs, looking at him coldly through the door chain.

A strong stench came from the room, reminding Araki Sosuke of the boys' dormitory that hadn't been cleaned for a semester.

"Ah, so someone is at home..." Araki Sousuke quickly took out the bottle of frog juice and explained his purpose.

The man reached out to take the frog juice without hesitation, nodded at him, and closed the door.

"What a strange uncle..." Just as he muttered and left, the uncle's cold voice came from behind: "Everyone upstairs, it's best not to give it away...their return gifts may be too much Enthusiasm...and, next, it seems, it's your turn."

"It's okay, it's okay, I was also famous for my hospitality when I was in Yokohama..."

Not paying attention to the other party's inexplicable words, Araki Sousuke let out a haha, and casually rang the doorbell of 104 a few times. Seeing that no one opened the door, he put down the frog juice and walked to the elevator.

It is daytime now, and according to the rule that Miss Sawada goes to work at night, maybe she is at home now.

In case of encounter, just take the opportunity to clarify to her the fact that I am a "promising young man".

...

Holding the box of drinks and walking in the aisle on the second floor of the apartment, Araki Sousuke rang the doorbells of several households in a row, but no one responded.

"These households were quarreling to death at night, but now no one is at home?"

Araki Sousuke, who originally planned to take the opportunity to hint to the other party to "be quiet at night", had no choice but to retreat without success.

The corridors with white walls and gray floors are very clean and the facilities are well maintained.

Even in the daytime, due to design flaws, there are only two small windows in the front and back of the corridor, which makes it difficult for sunlight to come in, making it look a little cold.

Arriving on the third floor, Araki Sousuke smelled a stench, but he didn't see any suspected source of the stench in the corridor.

"I remember, 304 seems to be that one."

He thought of the tall woman he had seen at the window.

So he first pressed the doorbell of 304.

On the beeper, a female voice answered him.

Araki Sousuke quickly explained his intention.

"I'm sorry...my current appearance...it's not very convenient for meeting guests. Can you leave the gift at the door, can I pick it up later?"

The woman said in a very polite and low tone.

Probably without makeup, Araki Sosuke thought so, put the drink at the door and prepared to leave.

Japanese women pay great attention to their appearance, and it is very rude to receive guests without makeup, which is really understandable.

"That... most of the other residents of the apartment come out at night, so you may have to make a trip for nothing... Also, if possible... it's better to move out as soon as possible before it's your turn..."

Through the beeper, the woman said something without thinking, and then lost her voice.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I have to go to work at night..."

The other party may be dissatisfied with the stingy property, so they complained like this.

Araki Sousuke, who had already signed a two-year lease, naturally would not take to heart what the other party urged him to move out.

All the way to the fifth floor, as the woman said, no one was at home.

Araki Sousuke had no choice but to place the frog juices at the door of the house one by one.

Just when he was about to go back, a curious idea popped up.

What does the rooftop of the apartment look like?

"It should be here..."

Walking to the fire stairs at the deepest part of the corridor, Sousuke Araki looked up.

According to the convention, the roof of the apartment is where the fire stairs go up.

At the end of the stairs, a simple dark black iron gate stood there quietly.

This iron door has no keyhole or crack, as if it was welded to the wall from a whole piece of steel plate.

Even under the afternoon sun, the folding iron door seemed to be able to swallow the light without reflecting a single gleam of light.

"Is it completely welded to death? Could it be that there was a safety accident on the roof?"

Araki Sousuke looked at him boredly, then turned back.

The roofs of many buildings in Japan are equipped with barbed wire and locked most of the time in order to prevent safety accidents and people jumping off the building without permission.

After walking around the apartment, Araki Sosuke took his wallet and went out.

In the past two days, he had accumulated some funds through "selling talisman paper", which allowed his schedule of "buying second-hand home appliances" to be advanced.

Speaking of second-hand home appliances... There are a few good shops a few subway stations away.

half an hour later.

"Ah... Even the air is filled with a decayed house smell..."

Araki Sousuke, who had parked the car, took a deep breath, crossed his hips and looked at the street in front of him.

On the streets full of people and high-rise buildings, there are huge billboards with a variety of beautiful things in eyes and bright colors.

Maid coffee, comic teahouse, second-hand figure shop, game hall, animation center, AKSB48 activities...

Queen, goddess, childhood sweetheart, first love, sickly, dark-bellied, arrogant...the billboards were filled with all kinds of girls in the second dimension, with delicate bodies and soft bodies that were easy to push down, and they blinded him.

"Hey, 'Ghost Girl's Melancholy' has a new special issue? SEGA's claw machine has updated this crazy scene that is so foul...Damn it, Araki Sousuke, you have to calm down...you are here to buy appliances .”

Passing by the entrance of the game hall, Araki Sousuke was almost "sucked" in.

Feeling that the banknotes in the wallet were about to move, Araki Sousuke quickly withdrew his gaze.

That's right, he is currently in Akihabara Electric Town, which is known as "Otaku Paradise".

Unexpectedly, fall into the fear of random updates, boy!
