Omni-Anime Has So Many Geniuses! What's One More Me?

Once everyone had eaten their fill,

at one point, Ogura Asahi looked toward Toyokawa Shoko, considering his words. "Little Shoko, what kind of future do you want?"

"Huh?"

"Although I'm sorry for investigating your situation without asking for your permission first, do you really still intend to continue living with your father in that tiny, run-down apartment in Akabane?"

"..."

It was worth mentioning that the lowest rent around Akabane Station was about 25,000 yen a month—cheaper even than what Aya paid. Her rent was 38,000 yen a month.

Of course, that was only an estimate. It fluctuated depending on the location and size.

Her previous customer-service job actually paid fairly well, about 1,500 yen an hour.

If Toyokawa Shoko worked twenty hours a week, she could earn a little over 120,000 yen a month—more than Sakayori Iroha, who worked five days a week.

If you asked whether Toyokawa Shoko could support herself and her booze-barrel of a father on that salary—the answer was yes, brother, yes!

And why? All thanks to Haneoka's universal special-scholarship system—tuition was completely free, and lunch was included.

That was a huge expense, saving them a considerable sum directly.

Utilities for the two of them would be about 10,000 yen. She took the train to commute, which cost about 180 yen per trip, though a commuter pass would certainly be much cheaper.

Let's say her phone bill was 1,000 yen, and daily necessities cost 3,000 if she economized. She had barely bought any clothes since last year. Adding rent, which we'll generously round up to 30,000 yen, her fixed expenses came to roughly 50,000 yen.

With the remaining 70,000 yen, if she bought four half-price, near-expiration boxed meals every night after nine, at 300 yen each, that would be 1,200 yen a day, or 36,000
