The officer stamped my identity card immediately. I could finally go through the gate.

I had finally cleared the unimaginably strict check to get into the country. Then, I finally set my foot onto Nanae Island for real.

Then, upon seeing the town in front of me, I was honestly amazed.

「Damn. Awesome」

Buildings of modern design lined the streets, and I could not help but look in awe at how beautiful and majestic the town looked from a wider viewing angle.

As expected of a town that was designed by a genius architect.

However, something caught more of my attention.

It was the people that walked along the town’s streets.

They were all young. Actually, as far as I could see, they were all students in their uniforms. Well, of course they would be since most of this island’s residents are students.

Nanae Island is also known as the Special Student Zone. It was a southern heaven in which more than 80% of the population was students. The number of schools totaled 21 including secondary schools, high schools, and universities. The number of courses was about five times that. This island not only had many facilities to house the different courses, but also had a full set of cutting-edge research equipment.  Apparently, famous professors from foreign universities occasionally came to this island just to use their special equipment.

However, I did not care about the complicated information that was in the pamphlet.

「……Mhm, very good」

Southern island, many girls, and a feeling of freedom.

To be honest, my excitement was on a whole new level due to a reason other than what this island was made for.

I wanted to continue walking around the island like this, but first I decided to head to my new residence.

A beautiful two-story apartment in the residential district. Its name was the『Happiness Dorm』.

「Hm, I shouldn’t make fun of this name」

I followed the map on the paper that the realtor had passed me to this apartment. I knocked on the apartment landlord’s room that was in a building separate to the main building.

「Yes yes」

Saying this, the landlady came out of the door. She was extremely pretty.

I clenched my fist in triumph in my mind. This is a good start. Meanwhile, I gazed at the landlady.

She had a long and slim body. Or actually, she had quite a fit body. She had long hair that reached her back. Some tears appeared in her eyes as she yawned. She was rather attractive. On top of that, her breasts were big. Almost as big as an E cup porn star. And most importantly, her outfit was just inappropriate. She wore a tank top and shorts. With such an inappropriate outfit, what did the landlady intend to take care of!? I almost asked her, but I resisted since if I did I would definitely be called a pervert. It seemed that my excitement level was too high.

By the way, the landlady had an aura that didn’t fit her image as she reeked of alcohol.

Even though it was Saturday, the landlady looked to be half asleep even though it was 1 p.m. She let me into the room.

「Err, you are Jūgo Yama, right? 」

The eight tatami mats sized room had empty cans of beer all over the place. I answered 「Yes」, to the landlady’s question. The landlady sat opposite of me at the low dining table.

「Err, I am the owner and caretaker of this Happiness Dorm, Shiki Maboro. I am about 28 years old. My main job is the management of the Happiness Dorm. Nice to meet you」

She said this as if saying it out loud made it true. At the same time, she smiled.

「Nice to meet you too」. I bowed my head.

「And then, how old are you, Jūgo-kun? 」

As if to say that the formalities were over, Shiki-san suddenly talked in a very informal way.

「Err, I am 16. From the day after tomorrow, I am going to be a Sophomore in High School」

「Hm, you look quite mature」

「Landlady-san, you look quite young」

Immediately, Shiki-san smiled happily.

「Well aren’t you such a nice guy. Do you want to drink anything? I only have beer, but you can have one」

Are you a middle-aged uncle that I had not seen in a long time?

This thought immediately came to my mind. I decided to politely decline the landlady’s offer to give an underaged person alcohol on a Saturday afternoon.

「Sorry, my doctor told me not to」

「I see, then I’ll just have one by myself」

Shiki-san ignored my cheerful smile and joke and stood up with her long legs. 「Whoops」. Then she opened the fridge and took out a beer from it. She opened the can and drank it in one gulp.

Of course, she did not forget to place her hand on her waist. Then, she lout out a long「Phewww」. She looked like she couldn’t be happier.

「Bruh, you should really started drinking! 」

「What? Didn’t I say I won’t have one? 」

Apparently, it was not a joke.

「But transferring halfway through the second year of high school huh? That’s a weird time to transfer schools」

While tilting the can of beer back, Shiki-san sat down on her original spot with a grunt.

「Errr, our family had reasons」

I replied while looking away for no reason.

「Is it related to your father’s work? 」

「Well, you could say that」

「What kind of work does he do? 」

「Well, how shall I put it. It’s work that could be categorized as charitable」

I could not possibly say that I had been disowned. Thus, I somewhat muddled my answer. Shiki-san said, 「I see」, and did not question any further.

「Well, that aside, you are quite a lucky newcomer. There are not many rooms that are vacant at such a weird time of the year」

The main migration period for Nanae Island was March and only included graduates who left the island and new incoming students. It is in this period that the majority of the students would decide where to live. Hence, usually, there would not be any good apartment rooms left for rent.

「Um, concerning that. Are you really sure the rental is only this price? 」

I showed the paper that I had been given by the realtor a few days ago. The owner of  Happiness Dorm, Shiki-san, nodded.

「Yep. It is exactly ¥5,000 per month for a room of eight tatami mat size with storage, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, TV, PC, washing machine, and “various other things” 」

Two days ago, when my forced migration to Nanae Island had been confirmed, I had gone to a branch of the big real estate company that I was told to manage all the estates in Nanae Island to find a place to stay.

「And do you any conditions for your residence? 」

An attendant with nice hair that had been styled with some gel and wore a suit asked me, while smiling. I replied.

「As long as it is cheap」

At this simple answer, the attendant asked another question.

「How cheap would you want it to be? 」

「As cheap as possible」

This was really my wish.

The next morning after I had been chased out of the house, I received an email on my mobile phone.

『I will be providing ¥50,000 each month for minimum living expenses. If you don’t have enough, you can work part-time or something』

The moment I received the email, I rejoiced for a moment. ¥50,000 was normally an amount of money that I would only see on New Years Day. I will receive that every month. That is amazing. However, I thought more about this. I wonder how much ¥50,000 would provide for a high schooler who had no other income to live for one month.

From my research, I could sum up the answer with, 「Not at all! 」

Immediately, I replied, 『 No no, it is impossible! Give me more! 』. Within a minute, another email came. 『 Then it shall be ¥40,000 instead 』

Hey, wait a second. Isn’t that strange? You decreased the amount.

Although I wanted to reply immediately, I stopped myself. There was a possibility that he might decrease the amount again. That man might do it.

In the end, I had to manage my entire living expenses with just ¥40,000. In my case, the apartment lease that was supposed to be my largest expense every month was quite a critical issue. In the worst-case scenario, it was questionable whether I could even pay just the rent with just the amount given by my dad.

「That means that you don’t mind any kind of place, as long as it is cheap, right? 」

「Yes」

「Really? 」

「Yes」

「Then, currently we have this kind of residence」

Saying this, the attendant showed me one page of a document that showed the resident’s information, and several pictures.
