Raito started walking down the street, scanning the neighborhood.

A woman jogging toward him suddenly stumbled, colliding with him lightly.

"Sorry!" she said, catching herself.

Raito narrowed his eyes, sensing her presence. Hey… I know this aura…

The jogger lifted her head.

"Hey… it's you. Kira," Raito said, recognition in his voice.

"Hey… what the hell are you doing here, Raito?" Kira asked, her expression a mix of surprise and tension.

"Well… I'm trying to ask a question back at you," Raito said calmly.

"Well, I'm here for work," Kira replied.

"But why are you covering your face like that?" Raito asked, noticing her posture. "You have your cap forward, your head bent slightly… and you're pushing it down. Why?"

Kira exhaled. "Have you forgotten? I'm a popular hunter. If I go out in public like this, people would recognize me—screaming my name, asking for autographs, even following me around… or worse, stalking me. That's not something I want."

Raito nodded slightly, impressed. "Well… you're lucky. You're truly strong, but you choose to stay cautious. Not everyone does that."

Kira smiled faintly. "Well… you're right. I just realized it myself. Being a popular hunter takes a lot of work."

"Alright. See you later," Raito said, starting to walk away.

"Hey!" Kira called, grabbing the sleeve of his jacket. "You can't just leave. We're not even done talking!"

"What? What are we supposed to talk about?" Raito asked, turning slightly to look at her.

Kira lifted his hand and let it drop. "Well… nothing important. But tell me—what are you doing here?"

"I just bought a house here," Raito replied calmly.

Kira raised an eyebrow. "Yeah… but why Chiba? Why not Tokyo, where most hunters live? It's… more convenient and close to dungeon."

Raito smirked faintly. "It doesn't matter. I feel comfortable here and I can fly to Tokyo easily. That's enough for me."

"Hmm… fair enough," Kira said. "

Kira laughed softly. "Never mind that—let's get moving."

Raito started walking again, then paused. "Wait… why you following me"

"Wait? Why?" Kira asked, catching up. "Where are you going? Let me come with you—I don't have anything to do right now."

Raito looked at her calmly. Persistent, he thought. He studied her for a moment and finally nodded. "Fine."

Kira fell into step beside him, her eyes alert.

"So… do you know anywhere I could buy furniture?" Raito asked. "The house isn't furnished at all, and I have no idea where to start."

Kira smiled. "Yes. Just follow me."

After about fifteen minutes of walking, they finally arrived at a large furniture store—rows of chairs, tables, and everything one could need to fill a house.

The automatic doors of the massive furniture store slid open on their own.

Raito and Kira stepped inside, and immediately, people began staring.

Wow… what the hell! one man muttered under his breath. If only we could see her face… but just from her figure, she's beautiful.

And that guy… he's tall, handsome… a lady whispered.

Raito glanced around. "Why is everyone staring at us so much?" he asked Kira quietly.

Kira bent her head slightly, keeping her face hidden under her cap.

So this is what people go through… when they become famous, Raito thought. But he noticed something else—her mind seemed occupied, distracted by something deeper. Not my business, he added silently, shifting his focus forward.

They walked toward the elevator. The doors closed, and they ascended silently.

When the elevator stopped, a door awaited them. Kira opened it. "Let's go in," she said, and they stepped inside.

A man appeared, smiling warmly. "Oh! It's you, Kira! And… Brighter, right?"

Raito nodded slightly. "I'm here to purchase some furniture," he said, calm and precise.

"Ah, is that so?" the man replied. "Please, come, have a seat."

They sat down across from him. A lady stepped forward, holding a set of design samples.

"Please, show him the designs," the man instructed.

As the designs were presented, Raito's gaze scanned them carefully. When he found the ones he liked, he focused intently.

This is perfect… full furnishing for the house, he thought.

"I want one room equipped entirely for training," he said, his tone calm but firm. "The highest-quality equipment. A space designed like a true training ground—durable enough that even explosions won't damage it, and nothing in the house will be affected."

The man raised an eyebrow, smiling. "Well, well… looks like you're serious. A hunter, indeed. That room will be empty for practice—no worries. The other rooms will be furnished like a normal home. How many bedrooms?"

"Four," Raito replied. "Two furnished normally with beds. You'll handle the rest according to standard designs."

"Good… good," the man said. "And in the living room, we'll add pallet chairs and other custom pieces to make it perfect. For just some of the furniture, it will cost fifty million yen. But for the training room… fully equipped as you described… it will be at least fifty-two million yen."

Raito's brow arched slightly. "Fifty-two million yen… isn't that a bit much?"

The man shrugged. "It's the cost for high-grade, custom equipment."

Raito exhaled calmly. "It's fine. I'll take it."

As the man provided all the details, Raito let the conversation continue, keeping his composure.

The money left in my account is actually small, he thought. Jiro still owes me over three hundred million yen, so for now… I'm not worried.

As they confirmed the payments, the man smiled. "Don't worry. Just write your address and sign here."

Raito wrote the address carefully and signed. "Done," he said.

A lady stepped forward to collect the papers. Raito handed them over and prepared to leave. At the same time, the store staff gave him the key to the apartment.

They drove off afterward, beginning the furnishing process immediately.

By the end of the day, the house was fully furnished—except for the training room, the one designed to withstand extreme force.

"Well… about this high-grade room," Raito said, his tone precise. "What kind of blast are we talking about? It's going to cost more money, and the construction might take a week to complete."
