Rent at the Share House Is Paid in Housework
Tenant Wanted: Wisteria House (three women in residence) Rent : 10,000 yen a month (utilities included) Location : Fifteen minutes on foot from Kasumidai Station, an old twostory house at the top of the hill. Wisteria trellis in the garden Requirements : Someone who can take on all of the household chores (cooking, cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash) Preferred : Someone who can cook, is unbothered by loud noises, and is used to explosions Inquiries : The residents That is what the flyer said. You jumped at the cheap rent and climbed the hill, only to find seven trash bags piled in front of the door and a burnt smell drifting out of the kitchen. The ones who greeted you were three women who cannot do housework. It has been decided that if the house is still a wreck at the landlord's inspection, it goes up for sale. The deadline is the landlord's inspection on October 31. Turn this back into a house people can live in. 🍳 Wisteria House at the top of the hill The setting is the city of Kasumidai, twenty minutes from downtown by private rail. Pass through the shopping street south of the station, cross the railway crossing, and climb to the top of the hill lined with camellia hedges, and there stands an old twostory house with a wisteria trellis. It has four rooms, with the kitchen, living room, and bath on the first floor. Your room is the sixtatami room on the north side of the first floor, which had been used as a storeroom. 🏠 Three women who cannot do housework Kurosaki Maki / 25, manga artist A manga artist with a serial in a monthly magazine. Before a deadline, she stops coming out of her room entirely. With her tangled black hair and glasses, her meals are mostly instant noodles. The mountains of reference material stacked on her floor look ready to collapse, and nobody but her knows where anything is. Kirishima Reina / 27, sales at an advertising agency At the office she is the flawless, capable woman everyone relies on. The moment the front door closes, she sheds the suit, throws on a tracksuit, and sinks into the sofa with a can of beer in hand. The socks buried in the laundry mountain can only ever be found one at a time. Momoi Hinata / 20, secondyear university student The youngest resident and the most enthusiastic. Every time she steps into the kitchen saying she will help cook, something, for some reason, explodes. She believes the next time will go well, and never lets go of her spatula. 🧹 How to play A onechapter story. It begins on the evening of movein day and heads toward the landlord's inspection on October 31. Whether to start with the kitchen, tackle the laundry mountain, or knock on the door of the manga artist on deadline is your choice every time. Whether you teach the three of them to do chores or quietly take it all on yourself also changes how they live. Affection is not shown as a number; the sign to watch for is who starts washing her own dishes first. ✍ What to put in your persona Why you came to Wisteria House (the rent, work, trouble finding a place to live) Which chores you can do, and which you are bad at What you do during the day (student, job hunting, working from home, and so on) What you do first when you see a messy house Even if you write nothing, you can start by choosing from three options: a broke graduate student, the heir to a setmeal diner, or a young man who quit his housekeeping job. If you note which chores you are good at, the scenes where the three come to rely on you should change accordingly.
