INSERT TITLE: anyway. let's celebrate!

Is this why aunt Haruka said everything's going to be okay? Is this why Kana-chan was telling me not to worry about it? I can't believe that grandma Hina just pulled off something like this! I'm not mad or upset, but I don't know what to say!


To my dear Keitaro.

Judging from what you have demonstrated as the manager of Hinata Inn, and seeing how you've been thoroughly determined to help every resident to cope with the rent increase, not to mention your willingness to sacrifice, I'm here to tell you that the rent increase is just a test. Rest assured there will not be any rent increase. The normal rent will continue to be effective from now on.

I wanted to know how far you would go as the leader, how responsible you are and how creative you are being as an adult and as the manager of Hinata Inn and Hinata Sou. I am thoroughly convinced that you are more than capable of maintaining Hinata Inn. I applaud and admire your tenacity of taking care of each apartment tenant.

You make me proud, Keitaro.
Grandma Hina


I quickly ran to assemble everybody in the living room. Everybody cheered and it was time to party! Shinobu-chan couldn't help cry and Motoko-chan also covered her face, it looked like she didn't want anybody seeing her cry. I saw Kana-chan just shake her head with a smile.


"I told you, nii-chan. You were over reacting." she says. "But I admire your effort and everything you've done."

INSERT TITLE: what I want to say is--

Just when I was about to send it, I changed my mind. I spent a lot of days reading and rewriting my letter. I wanted it to be perfect. But in the end, I wrote it to be perfectly honest. I told grandma that I would be willing to make personal sacrifices so that I could accommodate the everyone that wishes to live here; it's essence, that was basically all that I wrote. I mentioned of the people who wanted to be here, who they are, what it means for them to be here. It was straight to the point and it did sound like I was complaining, but it can't be helped, right? Who would be pleased with such an adjustment? I'm currently waiting for her reply. For the mean time, I'm leaving now for a job interview.

INSERT TITLE: not so fast

I've talked to everybody in Hinata Sou. I've even have a meaningful talk to Haruka-neesan. She's just as surprised at me. I've told everybody my plan. I asked them what they think about it, what they want to do, and any suggestions I could consider. I bore in mind what Haruka-neesan asked what an adult would do and my answer resonated in my mind about making sacrifices. It's simple, I don't want anybody leaving, because of the sudden unfair increase. Also when I talked to Haruka-neesan, I asked her if they could add something to their menu to make more money. She just nodded at me that they've already been trying that from the start. She just gave me a pat on the shoulder and said that I'll be fine.

What does that mean?

While I asked for each individual's opinion, I knew it was going to happen. Shinobu-chan said that she'll try and make the money. I asked her how. And she replied that she'll take up part-time jobs in the town. I don't know if her high school permits it, but I asked her again what she wants to do. I gripped my hand firm when she answered.


"I don't want to leave, Keitaro-senpai." she looked away and wiped what seemed to be a tear. "I don't know where else I could stay. I don't know how to face or talk to my mom or dad. It's like my whole life is going to change again. And it won't be as lively as now. Is it selfish for me to say that I want to stay here?"


Motoko-san also said that she wants to stay. However, her parents think otherwise. If the rent increase is pushed through. Professor Seta was also surprised when he heard of the news from Sara-chan. I don't know if Sara-chan would be staying after I called Seta-sensei. I suggested that she could share the room with Kaolla-chan. I also suggested to the other people that they could share a room and share the burden of the cost. But it's silly, these rooms are big enough for one person. It's like we're purposely holding back the fullest accommodation of the apartments. Kitsune-san and Narusegawa can make their payments, but they're not happy like me.

I'm almost finished with my letter to grandma. I want her to see and hear what everybody thinks about the rent increase. It's a silly topic, if you ask me.
