Kindness doesn't mean stupidly

"So... I'm broke, what about you, doing good?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "I'm good... What did you mean by that?"

"Well, my money won't come back to me this time, and I've spent all my money, like, I'm with 10 thousand ienes"

Kozue Kinoshita: "How, just freaking how?"

"Well, you remember that girl I helped before? Sato Akira"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Yeah, is she good now?"

"I hope so, after the night and some talk, well I've decided to not also give her money, and an apartment, but also I decided to help more people, I had money why shouldn't I? Right?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "You should have planned better, how exactly do you earn money anyway? You don't have a job, your father gives you more?"

"No, I just used wisely, some stocks here and there, bond things, trading, you know, basic stuff, since I had a lot I didn't usually have to play out of safety"

Kozue Kinoshita: "So... "

"Now I don't have enough to rent and basically no food left since I only buy what I need for the week, please, help meeeee"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Hell no, y-you did that, why should I pay for it? You are my friend but that's not something I did, why don't you find a job, you have a faculty, right? Some knowledge"

"Nothing useful for society, soooo... Yeah, I'm doomed, like totally doomed"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Well, you had some fans, make some streams, and maybe you will get something"

"I doubt I will have enough in time, help meeee... Daskeeeeeteeee!"

Kozue Kinoshita: "C-could you please be serious for a moment? What about your parents? You can-"

"No, I definitely can't, never, I'm a prideful adult, I should find a way to not need them"

Kozue Kinoshita: "You don't have a boyfriend yet, one who could help you?"

"About that... I also don't want this, I've had some many guys and... They are kind of boring, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, all of them seem the same, I mean, some of them were great guys but, I don't want to be a generic housewife"

Kozue Kinoshita: "How so? Don't you want a family?"

"I do but... Not like that, I've seen it many nights... Our families are sad, some guys are so tired they spent all their nights playing games outside, and many of them are old, I've seen some who wait for the lights to turn off to enter, I don't know what so bad was on their families, but I don't want to fall in this"

Kozue Kinoshita: "This is not so common, I mean, our parents were just fine, don't you want to be like them?"

"I want, that's why... I can't stay with a generic guy, but everywhere I go is identical, I want something... Out of the usual"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Did you attempt a girl?"

"What do you mean?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Just saying, this is an option as well, you can adopt a kid later and all, you know"

"I'm not like that, besides, the girls I see are... In the same as well"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Maybe you should give it a try, what wrong can happen?"

"Wait we are going out of topic, I need money, can't you hold me this month? I will probably receive a few from my stocks, at last for my move out to a simple place"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Why don't you sell what you have for a cheaper price? You have some useless things don't you?"

"Well... I don't think people will buy it, I have some mangas, games, and used books... Cosplays"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Sell your PC since you won't use it"

"NEVER EVERRRRR"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Don't just shout at me! What about your contract? Won't you earn money back?"

"I hope so, I will check later"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Didn't you said you gave her money? How much?"

"Some, two million buckets"

Kozue Kinoshita: "Buckets... Ok that's fine, I know you aren't taking seriously, pay her a visit"

"How so?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "I mean, you helped her out, she probably has a job now and your money, she can help you since you, basically saved her from... Going afterlife"

"It's not a bad idea..."

Kozue Kinoshita: "Just saying, but maybe, I think, just think, you can also try to have a relationship with her"

"Uh... What?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "We'll, she is probably a nice person, from what you said, after this time she may be good again, I don't know much about this topic"

"I'm not really into girls... You know"

Kozue Kinoshita: "... Wait let me make a question, do you find guys attractive? Or you just, go talk with them?"

"I... Don't find most of them, I mean, of course, I know when one is hot, like..."

Kozue Kinoshita: "Movies and animes?"

"Yeah..."

Kozue Kinoshita: "It's not the same about girls? It's not a crime anymore, you know, I'm not saying you should go all out, just try with some, and maybe you will find you're out of the usual thing"

"Maybe... Uh... Wait, aren't you... You know?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "No? I've never stayed with anyone"

"You know, we are getting old... You should find a partner soon, you won't stay like that forever"

Kozue Kinoshita: "I've planned for that, I have some lots of money, so if I don't feel much like it, I can just live off streams, I'm popular, and I doubt I will have to stop until my 40 years, only If I feel really tired, you shouldn't be so worried as well, we are 25 we have time"

"It's not that I'm worried... Just kind of lonely, I played some games, watched anime, and explored part of Japan, but... It's getting boring alone, I want someone who shares the same brain cell as me"

Kozue Kinoshita: "We'll... MAYBE you should just, pay more attention to those closest to you"

"Uh... I don't remember any interesting friends I had, maybe you are right, I don't find guys much attractive anyway, I should try out with a girl, one time at last, am I wrong thinking that?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "I don't think so, what about your parents?"

"Oh they are fine, what about yours?"

Kozue Kinoshita: "I mean if they would accept, but yeah, mine are fine too, well I think we have settled them, you will go stay with Akira for a while until you recover part of your money, and maybe sell some stuff, I don't think you are that broke"

"Roger, time to... I don't get any quote for that, nah see ya later"

~ Castle Kitazawa 8:00 Friday ~

(Hm? Someone is knocking on my door? I didn't ask for any delivery)

Sato slowly steps outside her organized bedroom, with simple pinky clothes, she cautiously opens the door.

"Who is it?"

"Sato... Akira?"

"Yes, that's my name, how I can't help you now, come la...ter, Kizuna?"

Sato opens the door fully, her clothes beside not matching, showing a bright person in a bad state.

"You look like, 5 years younger, I suppose things are going good, hooray!"

"You came to check on me? It has been... 3 days? I can't remember"

"Actually, I've appeared with a favor to ask, ya know, friend to friend, can I come in?"

"Ah... Better not, let's talk here"

"Why not? Hiding someone else?"

Kizuna stands before her, due to the difference in height, she can clearly see the tornado inside the apartment.

"Oh so that's why you don't want me to enter, that's cool, I did the same sometimes, may I-"

"Don't enter!"

"Oh ok... That's fine, so, uuuh... The favor is, I don't have a place to stay, can I stick with you for a month? You didn't spend all your money right? I will give you more after settle down things"

"I barely used... But you can't stay here... I..."

"Destroyed everything? We can rebuild together, we both need something, don't we? I need a place and you need some help, all good, win-win baby"

"You won't accept a no don't you? Fine them... But don't open my bedroom please"

"Your house your rules! Not a problem for me, lets check"

Modern and elegant design, with wooden floors, white walls and simple furniture, air conditioning, cable TV and internet. A living area with a sofa and coffee table, kitchen area with a fridge, stove and microwave, and a bathroom area with a toilet, sink and shower.

"No visible problems, just trash here and there, yo Sato, can I pack this stuff to throw out?"

"Y-Yes"

"Okay then, thanks for letting me stay, I will start living here next month then? You know, burocracy, I don't have a lot of things to move so no need to worry"

"I-I see..."

"Is something wrong? Did I said something bad?"

"No... I just... I don't want to talk with anyone today, can you come tomorrow?"

"Sure, I will clean things here then, no need to say a word"
