"Your equity firm..." Eli thought for a while and asked, "What will you do there, Senpai?"
"My work is just to turn something that everyone thinks of as trash into a treasure."
"How?"
"Well, I plan to walk around Japan, to see around, for a while, taking a trip, and to see what chance I can find there."
Nifuji's plan was quite simple since, instead of trying to grasp something that he wasn't familiar with, it was better for him to do something that he was familiar with.
Unlike everyone else, who had no money or will, so they felt helpless about what to do, he had his own money, and as long as he put his intent to invest for "his women," the money that he spent would return to him.
In other words, this is the infinite money glitch.
Even if it ended up in a failure, it didn't matter—why?
It was because he wouldn't run out of money!
As long as he used his money with an "intention" for his "women," his system would give him ten times the return.
Still, to make money, build his career, and power, wasn't that also for his women, too?
After all, the stronger he was, the better he was at protecting his women.
Yet he also knew that while wealth was important, sometimes it was important to say enough is enough.
To build something, especially his career, he needed time, which made it impossible for him to stay with his women all the time.
Even career men would somehow neglect their wives, children, and family for their work, even though they only had one, yet Nifuji had many of them; his career was immense as he stood at the pinnacle, and the number of his women was massive, so without a doubt, his difficulty was in how he handled the time; as that way, he could take care of all of them.
Still, humans weren't the highest beings, and many gods, in the various mythologies, also weren't perfect, and often messed up, but he also didn't want to become perfect, as he felt like it would be boring.
Knowing everything, controlling everything, and everything being under his palm, he felt that it was a bit... too much for him.
So, what should he do?
Nothing.
No one knew what would happen in the future, so all he could do was just move on and step forward. That way, while there might be some regrets on his path, he could use the words that he did his "best" as an excuse. It might be weak, but life is like that, right?
Do your best!
"Let's talk about the last choice."
"What is it?"
His two choices had made them feel like they were about to suffocate from the amount of his wealth, but he told them that there was one more.
As they wondered, he said, "I think that this one is the best for us."
"What is that?"
"Shoto in Shibuya."
"...." Eli and Mayuri.
"S-Shoto?"
"You mean that Shoto?"
"Yes."
"....." Eli and Mayuri.
Why did they react that way?
It is because Shoto in Shibuya was often called the "Beverly Hills of Tokyo." It is a quiet, leafy residential enclave just a 10-minute walk from the bustle of Shibuya, but it feels like a completely different world.
Why does it fit them?
1. Housing Type: Unlike most of Tokyo, Shoto is known for large, detached walled mansions. They wouldn't be in an apartment; they would own a compound.
2. Cosplay Life: They can build a dedicated studio and a warehouse-sized closet for their costumes without worrying about neighbors. The high walls provide privacy for outdoor garden shoots.
3. Vibe: It's old-money quiet. Mayuri would appreciate the neighborhood's elegance and dignity.
Frankly, among all choices, Nifuji wanted this place, as it was the only place that owned its own land, which meant this place allowed them to have a large basement (perfect for soundproof gaming rooms or VR setups), a garden for tea with Mayuri, and enough garage space for luxury cars to whisk them away to Comiket in secret. It offers the best balance of "quiet residential life" and "high-end exclusivity."
Or rather, he had chosen this place, especially when he discovered a good land in the area, so without hesitation, he bought it, and as expected—

Yup, amazing, right?
How much did he spend on the building?
It was about 1,522,000,000 yen, or 1.5 billion yen, and, naturally, as he thought of getting this building for his women, he got a tenfold return, which meant about 15 billion yen.
Also, his "trend setter" ability, which he got from Fuji, his neighbor before, even though he hardly appeared to use it, he felt like this ability was stronger than he had thought it would be.
Frankly, people would feel weird about how he thought that this ability had a lot of potential, so let him give an example.
Trend.
It might be something simple, but if one understood it, they could make money, and the best example would be how businessmen would sell player jerseys during the World Cup, or sell ice cream during the summer.
During those times, when people felt fervent and excited about certain events, the merchants would quickly sell what people wanted and make a lot of money.
Still, to understand these events, one needed information, and frankly, it wasn't easy to get information.
To get information, people developed many technologies, such as using doves as a way to send letters, inventing telephones, and even sending satellites to space.
Why did they do so?
Because all of them knew that by understanding the information, they could move faster than others.
When they knew that something was about to sell, they hoarded all of the goods, so when the time was right, they would sell those goods and make a lot of money.
Or, when the crisis happened, like how they somehow heard that a nuclear weapon was about to be shot, they could move to a safe place where they wouldn't be affected.
Nifuji might not have been able to get the information, but he could learn the vibe, the feelings, and motions, which worked like an intuition for him. He couldn't explain it well, but he knew what might sell, and what might not due to this ability, so when he bought something, even if he didn't want to, somehow, he got this feeling when he knew that it would give him a lot of return or not such as at how he knew definitely that he would gain a money when he spent it on his women.
Thus, because of that, he didn't hesitate to buy a property in Shoto, Shibuya, which made Mayuri and Eli dumbfounded, as they had never thought that he had bought the property already.
