"Congratulations to the host, I have seen you for ten years without interruption, and I am invincible from now on."
The system that awakened when I was ten years old has finally signed in now, and then the system is completely silent, but Ren Itadori doesn't care much.
The system said that it is invincible, so it should be invincible.
At least in this Conan world, as long as you behave yourself, there shouldn't be any big problems.
As for money, the sign-in system has rewarded me with a lot of shares in the consortium. Even if it is a family-style consortium, Ren Itadori also owns shares reasonably.
There are many cars, but Ren Itadori only likes to drive the ones with larger space. The rest are basically kept in properties in various places.
Speaking of real estate, today seems to be the day when the queen of the legal world comes to pay rent.
Ren Itadori tidied up his appearance after signing in and was sitting in the living room waiting for the tenant to arrive.
*Ding Dong*, the doorbell of Ren Itadori's house rang.
Before Ren Itadori opened the door, the door opened by itself. It was obvious that the person who rang the doorbell had the key to Ren Itadori's house.
"Ren, if I rang the doorbell outside, you should come to open the door. This is the courtesy to treat guests." A mature beauty in a professional suit entered Ren Itadori's house and reminded him smoothly.
"Lawyer Eri, you already have the key to my house, why are you still ringing the doorbell? It would be redundant for me to open the door." Ren Itadori responded to Eri Kisaki like this.
She came to the living room naturally, sat opposite Ren Itadori, took out an envelope and handed it over, saying:
"This is the rent for the next year. Ren, should you give me a card number? I can just deposit the money into your card or transfer it to you in the future."
"I am willing to give the card number for other people's rent. As for your rent, it is better to pay in cash. I believe Eri thinks so too." Ren Itadori did not count the money in the envelope, but threw it into the drawer of the coffee table casually.
Ren Itadori and Eri Kisaki have known each other for ten years, and Eri Kisaki has been Ren Itadori's tenant for ten years.
Ten years ago, when Ren Itadori just crossed over, he signed in and got a building, and then happened to meet Eri Kisaki who was looking for a storefront to open a law firm.
However, at that time, Ren Itadori was still underage and had no guardian, so everything was handled by Eri Kisaki, the lawyer.
The contract was signed for three years in one go, but the rent was paid once a year.
After paying the rent for the two floors below for one year, Eri Kisaki had no money on her at the time, and Ren Itadori had no place to live at the time, so he used the rent he had just received to give to Eri Kisaki, and then found an apartment, and the two lived next to each other.
After the three-year contract expired, Eri Kisaki renewed the contract with Ren Itadori for ten years, and of course, the rent was paid once a year. Now seven years have passed.
During her ten years of working as a lawyer, Eri Kisaki gradually built up the reputation of her firm, and she was also called the queen by people in the legal community because she had never failed in any of her cases.
Although she had both fame and financial resources, Eri Kisaki had no intention of breaking the contract with Ren Itadori to find a new location, mainly because she wanted to have benefits on the day of rent payment.
"Now that the rent has been paid, have my benefits been prepared?" Eri Kisaki immediately leaned on the sofa and asked Ren Itadori, her current state very different from the undefeated queen she showed outside.
"It's already been prepared, Eri, wait a moment." Ren Itadori also got up and went to the kitchen.
In addition to being Eri Kisaki's landlord, Ren Itadori basically also worked as a chef for two families, because as long as Eri Kisaki was at home, she would definitely come to Ren Itadori's house to eat.
As for Eri Kisaki's own idea, when the two of them moved into their new home for the first time, Eri Kisaki made noodles to celebrate, but that time the noodles almost sent Ren Itadori through time again.
So, Ren Itadori was the one who cooked at home afterwards, and Eri Kisaki was shameless enough to come and eat.
On the day of paying the rent, in Eri Kisaki's words, she had to pay a large sum of money, so Ren must make a lot of delicious food to entertain her.
The two of them have had such a tacit understanding for ten years.
Because they were already used to it, Ren didn't take long to prepare the big meal for Eri Kisaki.
However, this time, after the big meal was ready, Eri Kisaki didn't come to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, which made Ren feel a little strange.
After coming out of the kitchen, I found that Eri Kisaki had fallen asleep on the sofa, with a tired look on her face, which must have been left over from work.
Ren Itadori did not wake up Eri Kisaki immediately. Since she was so tired, it would be better for Eri to rest more. Therefore, Ren immediately went back to the kitchen to turn off the stove, then went to his room to find a thin blanket to cover her. Afterward, he sat off to the side and fell asleep.
After a long time, Eri Kisaki woke up, feeling that the fatigue from going to court over the past few days had finally vanished.
Noticing the thin blanket draped over her, she raised her wrist to check her watch. It was already completely dark outside.
As she sat up on the sofa, Ren, who was sleeping across from her, also woke up.
"Lawyer Eri, you are already successful and famous now; there is no need to exhaust yourself like this. If possible, I suggest you return to your family. After all, your family can bring you more motivation and care," Ren immediately said to Eri Kisaki.
Upon hearing this topic, Eri shook her head firmly and said, "It is impossible for me to return to that family. I will have a thorough discussion with Ran when I have time. She does not need to interfere in adult affairs."
Then, Eri seemed to remember something and asked Ren, "Is Ran coming to trouble you again?"
Ran Mouri knew where Eri Kisaki lived now, and Ran had also come to Ren's house for dinner with her mother. At that time, seeing Eri eating with such peace of mind, Ran mistakenly thought that Ren was the reason why her mother hadn't come home, leading to a verbal confrontation between her and Ren.
Now that Ran was a high school student, her desire to get her parents back together was even stronger.
"Ran is usually very easy to talk to, but when it comes to you, Lawyer Eri, she becomes a completely different person. And I think Ran is right. The Mouri Detective Agency might be lacking fighting spirit precisely because you aren't around," Ren reasoned with Eri.
Eri was quite happy to hear Ren say good things about her daughter, but when he brought up Kogoro Mouri, her expression immediately turned cold.
"It's been ten years since I left home. That guy has no other credit except for raising Ran. If his agency hadn't had the help of Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department, it probably would have gone bankrupt long ago." Eri had nothing nice to say about Kogoro Mouri.
Although the two were not divorced yet, they had been separated for ten years. Moreover, now that Ran was a high school girl, some things had to be resolved.
"Lawyer Eri, your words are a bit harsh. Maybe Detective Mouri will become a famous detective in the future," Ren said.
"He's just a confused detective. If that day comes, God must have arranged for a smart person to be by his side," Eri scoffed, making her attitude clear.
Eri had actually hit the nail on the head. Kogoro Mouri's future reputation as a detective would be entirely due to the fact that Conan, that little devil, lived at the detective agency.
But right now, Shinichi Kudo was still studying at Teitan High School, occasionally helping the Metropolitan Police Department solve cases, and being hailed by the media as the savior of the police force.
Ren didn't know what the people at the Metropolitan Police Department thought about that. Anyway, if a high school student were riding on his head like that, he definitely wouldn't stand for it.
After evaluating Kogoro, Eri looked at Ren and said, "Ren, now that you have graduated from college, you shouldn't just live your life between school and home. You need to have a life outside."
After becoming neighbors with Ren, Eri rarely saw him hanging out outside, as if he was worried about something. This situation had persisted from middle school all the way through his college graduation.
If she didn't live next door and know Ren's capabilities, Eri might have been worried that he would completely lose touch with society.
"Of course, I will definitely go out and take a look around, but I just don't have any good places to go at the moment." Ren agreed with Eri's proposal, though he had no idea what to actually do.
"Then Ren, you can come to my office and have a look. Maybe you will like working for law and justice," Eri suggested.
Ren didn't agree immediately. Instead, he stood up from his seat and said, "It's very late now, Lawyer Eri, you must be starving. I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the food so you can eat."
Eri didn't stop him because she was indeed hungry. However, listening to Ren bustling about in the kitchen and smelling the rich aroma of food wafting out, Eri couldn't help but feel that it would be wonderful if she didn't just get this kind of feast on rent day, but could continue living like this every day.
