"...where did you get this car?"
"You really know how to enjoy life..."
When Nifuji came, Eri and Mayuri quickly came to him, as they looked at his new car, the Lexus LM.
From the outside, it might seem like a strange car, as its shape is just too unapologetically boxy, but the reason for that is to maximize volume, prioritizing headroom and legroom above all else.
Private jet for the road.
This is how everyone would describe this car.
It is a vehicle defined entirely by the passenger experience rather than the driving experience.
The Lexus LM (Luxury Mover) is an ultra-luxury MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) designed to compete with limousines like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Bentley Flying Spur, but with the vertical space of a van.
"It's not mine. It's the company's car."
"The company car?!" 2x
Eri and Mayuri blinked, then they realized that Nifuji came from the back door, and in the front area, there was a driver!
"....." 2x
What kind of work did he do again?
While they were confused, they decided to ask, "Can we see it?" Still, unlike before, their voices were quite timed as they knew that it wasn't owned by Nifuji, but owned by his company, but frankly, what kind of company?!
Was Gakken, that shabby daycare and nursery house company, able to afford this luxury car for Nifuji?!
If this company could, then they'd better use that money to provide free breakfast for their employees!
Yet, Nifuji wasn't sure what they thought, but he agreed with their request, "Go ahead."
"Imagine a first-class airline suite that creates its own traffic-free sanctuary in the middle of a chaotic city," this is their impression when they saw this car for the first time.
Still, Eri and Mayuri wouldn't be satisfied if they didn't enter, so they observed the interior and thought that it was a "Two Distinct Worlds."
A glass wall separates the driver from the rear passengers. The glass can be dimmed (turned opaque) at the touch of a button for total privacy. A massive 48-inch ultrawide screen stretches across the partition wall, allowing passengers to conduct video conferences or watch movies in 4K.
"There are partitions and the cinema..."
"Look at the chair!"
"C-Can we sit?"
"Just sit."
"OOHHHH....." 2x
Two massive airline-style captain's chairs (often called "thrones") that can recline fully flat. They feature heated ottomans, massage functions, and sensors that adjust climate control based on your body temperature.
"There is also the fridge!"
There's a refrigerator for champagne, fold-out tables, and a customized Mark Levinson 3D Surround Sound system designed specifically for the acoustic properties of the cabin.
Frankly, there was also a different configuration for the interior, as it could be turned into a 7-Seater, which would be a more practical layout for VIP families or business shuttles.
Still, if Nifuji did so, it would lack the partition wall and the massive 48-inch screen (replaced by a 14-inch ceiling-mounted screen), but retain the high-quality leather and "Omotenashi" (Japanese hospitality) comfort.
However, as it was for "him," and even though he might have said that it was an "office car," he knew that he would use it privately, but instead of using his name as the owner, he would say that it was a company asset.
Why did he do so? Tax. Okay?
The tax rate in this country was terrible, as it could become as high as 55% of income.
Frankly, Nifuji felt that it was better for him to make his company in Singapore, as it was a "Safe House" in Asia.
Nifuji might not be doing it now, as he has just begun, but he later thought of parking his wealth in Singapore to avoid Japan's 55% inheritance tax and 30%+ corporate tax, and at the same time, it would serve as the Global Headquarters for your "Ishizue" empire.
Moreover, the Japanese domestic market is shrinking, so even if he was a bit lazy, he must extract the value that he had made globally.
'Well, Malaysia and Indonesia are also good.'
After all, in those countries, polygamy was allowed.
Still, let's think of that later when his plan was successful, yet without a doubt, Eri and Mayuri didn't know what his plan was, especially when they were too busy to observe his car, which made them sigh helplessly.
The interior made them feel like they were inside a private jet, but the exterior?
It screams of power and status.
The profile is a tall, slab-sided silhouette accented by chrome "L" motifs and huge sliding doors. It features the massive Lexus "Spindle Body" grille (body-colored in newer models), which looks aggressive and distinct.
Also, A distinct continuous LED light bar wraps around the rear, emphasizing the vehicle's width and low center of gravity.
"Can we tour in this car?" Mayuri asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes!" Eri also nodded.
Probably, because when Nifuji went out, the two of them often went out together by either riding on his motorcycle or his car, so when they knew that he got a new car, even though it was a company car, how could they not be curious, right?
"I don't mind, but what about Mayuri's student? Isn't she about to start her debut as a cosplayer?"
"..." Mayuri and Eri.
"...you are a horrible teacher, Mayuri."
"...yes."
Yup, Mayuri was a terrible teacher who had forgotten her student.
If this student were reliable, it might be fine, but this student was so nervous, about to have a breakdown, and she had a companion, too.
"Wait a moment! I will call her!"
Mayuri quickly acted by taking her smartphone and making a call to her student. "
"Sensei!"
The cry of her student sent her into a panic. "Ririsa, where are you?!"
Still, Nifuji was more curious about the fact that these students would be a pair of a male and a female.
"Oh! A couple?" Nifuji asked curiously, feeling a unique feeling when he thought of the high school couples, that should be pure and sweeter than his love life that was filled with naughty exchanges, and also the pressure from living, especially from money, which made him sigh.
"What's wrong? Why did you sigh?"
"No, I just feel old somehow."
"You are still young and powerful!" Eri patted her slightly flat chest. "I guarantee it!"
"....." Nifuji.
"...wipe that perverted face. It isn't appropriate."
"O-Oh..."
Mayuri, who finished the call, quickly looked at Nifuji and Eri, then said, "They are inside. Let's go."
"Okay." Nifuji nodded, but before that, he told the driver to wait, to which Mayuri asked, "Why did you make your driver wait?"
"Isn't it because we are going to look for a house later?"
"..." Eri and Mayuri.
Yup, let's finish this event as soon as possible, so that way, they can go out to search for a house!
Meanwhile, for Nifuji, he knew that it was a perfect time for him to gather his liquid asset (cash), since as he bought a property for his women, he knew, he would get a lot of return, right?
"SENSEI!"
Yet, before that, his eyes were attracted to Mayuri's students.
