Free Mansion, Yes or No?

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

The doorbell rang at the Nohara House.

Miya, wearing pajamas and with her hair all messy, was boiling water in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell and paused for a moment.

Who would come so early?

"Coming." She wiped her hands, walked to the door, and opened it.

A little girl was standing outside the door.

"Good morning." Ai bowed slightly. "I've come to see Shin-chan Master Xin."

"It's you." Miya quickly stepped aside. "Please come in."

Kuroiso stepped forward, scanned the room, and nodded slightly after confirming that there was nothing amiss.

Miya stood in the Living Room, looking somewhat embarrassed. The house wasn't tidy yet; the snack bags from last night were still on the coffee table, and Hiroshi's clothes were scattered on the sofa.

"Um—please have a seat, I'll go call Hiroshi." She called towards the bedroom, "Hiroshi, we have a guest."

Hiroshi, wearing wrinkled pajamas, squinted as he walked out. "Who is it—so early in the morning—"

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw Ai standing in the Living Room.

Hiroshi was instantly wide awake: "This is—"

"This is Her Highness the Princess," Miya whispered, "The one who gave us the VIP tickets last time."

Hiroshi subconsciously looked down at his pajamas, then at Ai, and said dryly, "You... hello."

"Good morning."

Hiroshi stood there, unsure what to say, so he turned to look at Miya.

Miya isn't much better off; she feels uncomfortable all over.

"Um—I'll go Shin-chan." Miya turned and walked towards Shin-chan's room.

Hiroshi stood to the side, hesitated for a moment, then quietly put away the snack bag and tidied his clothes a little.

In the bedroom, Miya stood by the bed, looking at the ball of a baby in the blankets.

"Shin-chan, we have a guest."

He remained motionless in bed.

"Shin-chan!"

"Hmm----"

"They came all this way to see you, get up."

Shin-chan rolled over: "Let her wait a bit—"

Miya took a deep breath, picked him up, and pushed him away.

Shin-chan sauntered Earth Flow the Living Room and saw Ai sitting on the sofa, so he plopped down next to her.

"Good morning."

"Good morning." Ai looked at him. "Aren't you awake yet?"

"I'm a little awake." Shin-chan- chan yawned. "You're up early."

"I want to see you soon," Ai said with a smile.

Hiroshi Miya stood to the side, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Hiroshi went to open the door, and there were several people dressed in white Chef's Uniform standing outside, carrying large boxes.

"Hello, we are the chefs from the Suotome House, here to prepare breakfast for you." The chef bowed respectfully.

Hiroshi was stunned. "Breakfast...?"

"Yes." They had already headed straight for the kitchen.

Hiroshi followed behind, saying, "Wait a minute, that kitchen is a bit small, and it doesn't have everything—"

The chefs opened the boxes, which were neatly arranged with various kitchen utensils and ingredients.

"Don't worry, we'll handle it."

Hiroshi stood at the kitchen doorway, watching the people skillfully wash, chop, and cook the vegetables, feeling completely unreal.

Miya leaned over and whispered, "This is quite a big production."

"Should we change our clothes?" Hiroshi looked down at his pajamas.

"It's too late." Miya bit her lip. "They even brought a chef, and we haven't even washed our faces."

"What should we do then?"

"What can we do? Let it be."

Hiroshi sighed, tried to press down his sticking-out hair, but couldn't, so he just gave up.

A delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.

The sizzling sound of frying food, the clatter of the spatula, and the rich aroma of cream.

Shin-chan's nose twitched, and his eyes opened.

"It smells so good."

"The chef is making breakfast," Ai said. "I specifically asked them to come."

Ai stood up, looked at Miya and Hiroshi, and said earnestly, "I've come today because there's something I want to discuss with you."

Miya and Hiroshi exchanged a glance. "What is it?"

"I would like to invite your whole family to come with me to the capital of the Land of Fire."

The Living Room fell silent for a second.

"The country... the capital?" Hiroshi's voice was a little unsteady.

"Yes," Ai nodded, "Shin-chan Master Xiao Xin can play with me."

After a Hiroshi managed to squeeze out, "Um... we... we didn't think about it..."

Shin-chan sat on the sofa, tilted his head, listened to the whole thing, and then said, "No way."

"Why?"

Our home is here.

Ai's gaze swept across the small Living Room, then she turned back to look at Shin-chan: "If it's about houses, I have a house in Kuodu that I can give you."

Hiroshi's eyes widened in surprise.

House?

Free?

What kind of property is this that still has 32 years of mortgage payments left to pay?

Hiroshi opened his mouth, and two voices were fighting in his head.

One said, "Say yes, say yes quickly!"

Another said, "Calm down, you're an adult."

Shin-chan didn't react much. "No need, Xiao Che, Kakashi, and the others are all here, and the school is here too."

He paused, then said, "Although I don't like going to school."

Ai looked at him, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "I understand. I'm going back to the capital this afternoon."

"Okay." Shin-chan -chan nodded. "Then be careful on your way."

"I will." Ai stood up. "Breakfast will be ready soon, let's all eat together."

The table was piled high with plates, each one as exquisite as a work of art: golden-brown omelets, small pieces of beef... "This is too much—" Miya swallowed hard.

Shin-chan had already buried his head in his food and started eating, his mouth stuffed full.

Hiroshi drank a mouthful of miso soup, relaxed completely, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

"It tastes so good."

Ai sat next to Shin-chan, glancing up at Shin-chan after every bite of her food.

Shin-chan was completely oblivious, focused intently on finishing the rice in his bowl.

By the time we finished eating, the sun had fully risen.

Ai stood up.

"I have to go now."

Meifen and Hiroshi also stood up and saw them to the door.

Ai turned around and looked at Shin-chan.

"Shin-chan, I'll remember you."

"Mm." Shin-chan -chan nodded. "I'll remember you too, and your chef as well."

Ai smiled.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Ai the carriage, which slowly started moving, its wheels making a rumbling sound as they rolled over the road.

Shin-chan stood at the door and waved.

The curtains were lifted slightly, and Ai peeked out and waved.

The carriage gradually drove away, turned the corner, and disappeared from sight.

Miya stood at the doorway and let out a long sigh.

I'm so tired this morning.

Hiroshi leaned against the doorframe, watching the direction the carriage had disappeared in, his expression complex.

"A house," he muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Miya looked at him.

"It's nothing." Hiroshi shook his head, turned and went back into the house. "I'm going to change my clothes."
