The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 174. Granddaughter's Request

174. 174. 174. 174. Granddaughter’s Request

A deep voice emanated from the landlady’s smartphone. It was undoubtedly Juuzou’s, the owner of that cool voice.

“Hello, it’s Matsunaga. What can I do for you?”

“Oh, Matsunaga-kun! Actually, you’ve probably heard, but Riori seems to want to meet Seina-chan.”

Ah, now that you mention it… Aihara mentioned something about wanting to go somewhere with me and Isezaki-san. We put it off because of the Digram Army invasion incident.

“I was thinking of mediating it with my sister-in-law… Matsunaga-kun, are you free? If you don’t mind, could you arrange a meeting between Riori and Seina-chan? Riori would probably be happier meeting you than the old folks.”

“I don’t think that’s necessarily true… But I just finished up something I was busy with. If that’s the case, I’ll make the arrangements soon.”

It’s something Aihara has been asking me about for a while. It wouldn’t be fair to pass it off to Juuzou or the landlady.

“Oh, I see! It’s better for Seina-chan to have acquaintances closer to her age. Sorry, but I’m counting on you.”

“That’s right. Even though the Jounai family has little to do with us now, bl00d ties are still important. Juuzou and I could kick the bucket anytime, so it’s good to have familiar relatives around.”

The landlady also seemed to approve of the idea of the two meeting. For some reason, Isezaki-san also wanted to meet Aihara, so it seemed urgent to finalize the arrangements.

“In that case, I’ll message Aihara right away. I’m at work now, but I’ll get back to you later—”

As I spoke, I typed out a message and sent it to Aihara. Immediately, the phone vibrated, and a message arrived from Aihara. Hey, what about work?

“What? M-Ma-ma-ma? Then we can go anytime! I’ll even take a day off and adjust to Isezaki-chan’s schedule!”

That’s what she said.

I replied, “You don’t need to take a day off. For now, focus on your work,” and ignored the vibrating phone again, turning back to the landlady’s phone.

“It seems Aihara is okay anytime. I’ll also talk to Isezaki-san about it.”

“Understood. Phew… Now I won’t be nagged by Riori.”

Juuzou let out a relieved sigh. It seemed that he felt relieved that his cute granddaughter’s request had been fulfilled, and a burden had been lifted.

“Now that I’m relieved, I’m getting hungry since morning… Oh, Matsunaga-kun, today was the day for monster meat, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. If you let me know your schedule as usual, I’ll come by right away.”

Today was the day I went to sell monster meat to Juuzou. It’s the day I earn the only income in Japanese yen, so it’s a happy day.

“I don’t have any appointments today. You can come anytime that suits you, so let’s coordinate.”

“Ah, I see. In that case, after this—”

“Hold on. If that’s the case, I’ll leave you alone. Go right now using your ‘Dimensional Teleportation,’ won’t you?”

With that, the landlady stood up briskly. In that case, I might as well take her up on his offer.

“Understood. Then I’ll be off for a bit. See you later—”

As I stood up, the landlady walked over to me.

“By the way, could you also take me to Juuzou’s place? I’ve been wanting to experience your ‘Dimensional Teleportation.’ Okay?”

The landlady looked up at me with a grin. Come to think of it, the landlady hadn’t experienced ‘Dimensional Teleportation’ yet. I had no objections either.

“Of course, no problem. Let’s go.”

I touched the landlady’s shoulder and focused.

“Dimensional Teleportation.”

—In the next moment, we were inside the VIP hospital room where Juuzou lived.

The landlady next to me looked around excitedly and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Yeah! So this is ‘Dimensional Teleportation’! I’ve heard about it, but it’s amazing to experience it! It’s fantastic!”

“Oh, did Sister-in-law come too?”

Juuzou greeted us as usual, sitting on the expensive-looking sofa. It was our usual spot when I went to sell monster meat.

Seeing Juuzou like that, the landlady squinted with a bored expression.

“What’s up, Juuzou? You’re oddly calm after witnessing such an unbelievable magic. I remember the first time Matsunaga appeared before me, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.”

“Well, yeah. I’ve seen Matsunaga appear and disappear in front of me countless times…”

Juuzou muttered with a distant look, and the landlady shrugged as he listened.

Come to think of it, Juuzou might be the person who has witnessed my Dimensional Teleportation the most up close. Even supernatural phenomena become routine with familiarity.

With that thought in mind, I took out the wild boar meat from my Storage Space and placed it in the fridge, which exuded an aura of luxury, provided in the hospital room.

It’s a bit sad that monster meat doesn’t last long, even when stored in such a fridge, due to the influence of magical elements.

Then, I received payment for this batch from Juuzou. It’s 100,000 yen per week, making it 400,000 yen per month, my current monthly income.

“Thank you as always.”

“I’m the one who should apologize for bothering you as an old man whose only joy is eating. With your abilities, you could earn as much money as you want without taking care of old folks like me.”

As Juuzou frowned while saying that, the landlady chuckled amusingly.

“Of course. Theft, smuggling, illegal dumping, and brokering illegal immigration. If you want to make big money easily, you can earn as much as you want, haha.”

“But those are all crimes… Even if I earn money by doing bad things, my conscience wouldn’t let me rest.”

Well, in reality, selling items from another world for money without declaring it to the country feels like a crime. But even so, smuggling and such are a bit much, right?

“I see, I see. That’s the man I had in mind. But you still haven’t found a way to earn money?”

“Yes, my income still depends solely on you… Although there seem to be various ways to earn money in the other world.”

“Hmm, I see. Let me know when you need money. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll help you anytime, okay?”

“Yes, I’ll appreciate your help when the time comes.”

Juuzou nodded satisfactorily at my response.

“Well then, that’s the end of the money talk. Matsunaga-kun and Sister-in-law have come all this way, so please relax. Oh, right. I got a bit of rare coffee—”

Juuzou stood up from the sofa and headed to the dining room. After that, we were treated to delicious coffee by the landlady, and our visit to the VIP hospital room came to an end.

**Dinner that evening**

While enjoying fried Night Raven at the Isezaki residence, I also informed Isezaki-san about Aihara’s situation. And Isezaki-san readily agreed, so it was decided that the three of us would meet soon.

Isezaki-san’s enthusiasm surprised me more than I expected. Maybe she’s interested in gal fashion?

Isezaki-san turning into a gal… Hmm, I’m not sure if I want to see that or not.

—And so, several more days passed.

I spent some relaxing days and refreshed myself thoroughly.

Then came the weekend. Finally, it was the day for Isezaki-san and Aihara to deepen their friendship.
