Alright, once again...
Kawanishi
My name is Kawanishi of Happiness Home Research, and I'll be helping you find a nice property.
Minori
Thank you very much!
Kawanishi
So, getting right to the matter at hand...
You're looking for a place you can base yourselves out of, yes?

Minori
Yes!
Minori
(Our very own place...
The MORE MORE HOUSE...!)
The MORE MORE HOUSE...!)
Minori
MORE MORE HOUSE?!
Saito
Yes, it would be helpful to have a place for the group to call home moving forward.
Haruka
I agree. We just talked about all the trouble we've been running into booking meeting rooms...
Haruka
So, our new home could triple as one of those, a place for us to practice and a studio for our streams. We wouldn't have to spend as much time moving back and forth.
Airi
Hehe. See what I mean?
Airi
We've been so busy lately that time is really starting to come at a premium. I think it's worth considering this option.
Shizuku
Yes, I agree as well...!
After all, we can only do so much up on the school's rooftop.

Minori
Y-Yeah, you all bring up good points.
It would be really nice to have a place that sort of doubles as our home base...

Minori
But is this plan really possible?
It's like us trying to rent our dream home!
It's like us trying to rent our dream home!
Airi
Of course, we can't afford a lavish palace that's right next to a major terminal.
Airi
But we should be able to figure something out by discussing our wants and needs, and compromising where we can.
Haruka
Right...
And because we've been getting steady work, we have a slightly bigger budget now.

Minori
Yeah...!
Saito
In any case, we should probably ask a realtor for further advice concerning this matter...
Saito
Since we're on a budget, I'll try to find a trustworthy agency that can still show us affordable options.
Saito
I'll need to stay here for a little while longer... But I'll let you all know once I've found a good one!
Minori
(I can't wait to see what kind of houses are available...)
Minori
(This is so exciting...!)
Kawanishi
I have documents on some potential candidates that we can look at together.
Kawanishi
Ms. Saito also already told me about your group's needs, so we can discuss those further and see what's going to be absolutely necessary.
Shizuku
What we're looking for is...
A place with space for us to do our streams, practice and have meetings...

Kawanishi
Offices that are available for lease usually come up when I enter those things in...
Kawanishi
However, there was also mention that you'd prefer to have a shower. That made me consider more residential places as well.
Airi
Right. Not many of those kinds of offices have showers.
Minori
Wait, I'm having trouble imagining what a room where we'd practice dancing and stuff would look like in a regular house.
Kawanishi
The first property I'd like to have you all look at more or less covers that. Please tell me what you think...
Minori
Wow! This is amazing...!
It's a plain old house, but the basement's all covered in mirrors like a dance studio!

Haruka
Not only that, it has all these sliding doors that allow you to cover them up. And this says it's even been soundproofed...
Airi
This looks incredible!
We can definitely use it as a studio for practicing and streaming.

Kawanishi
Yes, and on the first floor, there's a spacious living room and a nice kitchen with an island.
Minori
An island?
Airi
Like the counters you see in the home ec room. That'll make it a lot easier to do cooking streams.
Shizuku
Yes, all we'd have to do is place the camera in the living room. Those streams would be like our own cooking program!
Haruka
By the way, what's this at the far end of the balcony...?
Kawanishi
Oh, that's an outdoor bath.
Minori
Th-There's an outdoor bath...?!
Kawanishi
It doesn't look very big based on this floor plan... But it should still be nice for when you want a change of pace.
Shizuku
I'm staggered...
I wasn't expecting to hear about an outdoor bath.

Minori
M-Me neither...

Minori
Imagine living in a place like this...
Haruka
Nice work with the stream, Minori.
I decided to make you some salmon poke today to help you recharge. Let's eat our fill and do our best again tomorrow.

Haruka
You're done with your bath already, Minori?
And your hair's still wet. Let me go get the dryer. I'd rather you didn't catch a cold.

Minori
Talk about living the dream.
I'm not sure my heart would be able to handle it!

Haruka
Minori...
Airi
She's off in her own little world again...
Minori
Alright, I vote for this place!
Where do we sign?!
Where do we sign?!
Minori
I mean, it even said on that one website how you should pick a place you can imagine yourself living in!
Kawanishi
U-Uhh...
Airi
Calm down, will you?
Yes, this place does have everything we need.
Yes, this place does have everything we need.
Airi
But we're on a budget.
Take a look at the rent...

Minori
Huh?
It costs...

Minori
I-It really costs this much...?
Kawanishi
Yes...
This is a five-star property that fits your group's needs to the fullest.

Kawanishi
Now that you have this as a reference, we'll look at documents for these other properties...
Kawanishi
If any seem appealing to you, then I'll schedule us to go see them on a later date.
Minori
Oh, we get to see what they're actually like...?!
Haruka
Then, let's start looking at these one by one.
Minori
Okay!
One hour later
Kawanishi
Thank you all for your time today.
Kawanishi
I'll start scheduling our visit for the properties we discussed.
Kawanishi
Also, I'll send another list of prospective candidates, so please let me know if you'd like to take a look at any of them.
Airi
Understood.
Thank you very much for agreeing to meet with us today!
Thank you very much for agreeing to meet with us today!
Kawanishi
Of course. I look forward to seeing you all again.
Minori
*Sigh*
Browsing through all those papers was so much fun!
Browsing through all those papers was so much fun!
Haruka
Actually talking about this was pretty huge. Now we know that we prefer to have mirrors in the room where we plan on practicing, and that our stream studio doesn't have to be all that big.
Shizuku
Also, we learned that we can go without a kitchen island or an outdoor bath.
Airi
It would be nice to have those things, but I'm glad we're not choosing based on added luxuries.
Minori
Still, we get to see these places next time! I dunno if I can wait until then!
Airi
Again, slow down... We're getting another list of properties to look through, so this is far from over.
Minori
But... But... We might actually get to make the MORE MORE HOUSE a reality!
Minori
Then we could have sleepovers and stuff... How can I not be excited?!
Haruka
We get what you mean...
Airi
But don't forget that this is business.
We're looking for a place to rent because we need one for work.

Minori
Oh, uh... Yeah, I know...
This isn't all fun and games.
This isn't all fun and games.
Minori
But it means we get to spend more time together. That makes me really happy...!
Airi
Oh, you...
Minori
Hehe...
Minori
(Choosing just one out of a big list isn't going to be easy... But we gotta pick the best place available to us to turn into the MORE MORE HOUSE!)
