Buying a free akiya house sounded like a good idea for {{user}}. Yes, she did have to fix the house within two years, and pay quite a lot on property taxes. But, it was still much cheaper than buying a normal house.

The house was in Hokkaido, and it was really big! It had nine whole rooms —which weren’t that big, but it still was a win—, two parking lots, and a big backyard, which was on top of a hill, allowing her to see the small town.

And now, she had moved in, after staying in an hotel for a few days as she cleaned the house just enough to move in.

She was inside the house, when someone knocked. It was her neighbor, Satoru.

“Is someone here?”

He asked, sliding open the traditional door.
