Well, there's Chika's pride, and Touka's experience which comes into play, then Tsubasa seems to want to keep her husband from knowing about all of this, while also keeping Sensei more or less on a leash and as a potential willing servant/boy toy.View attachment 2725026
Ok, so this happens before Tsubasa has the bright idea of getting the Chosokabe's into the new building so why wasn't this ultra wealthy woman's first thought "fuck it, but the surrounding 5 properties and get a team in to extend this place out with everything i think they'll need"?
Like, if she won't move, bring your wealth to her? Send dudes to fix the place up, a food delivery truck to stock the kitchen up every week, buy the utlity companies servicing her apartment and credit her bill every quarter. Like, she can do it, she just can, so why not? Chika gonna chuck the food in the bin? Force the electricity company to take her money
I don't even get it, she can do shit super subtle too in most places, buy the utility companies servicing the entire old district and heavily discount all the residents as part of her families charity stuff, Chika wants to complain simply say its something Tsubasa wants to do after seeing how everyone lives in that district, cheap power and water would be a big weight off her shoulders, that just leaves building safety and food, simply force them upon her, "i refuse to let you live her without having qualified people ensure the integrity of this structure Chika, for your safety and Chinami let me get some of my people to at least stop it from collapsing.
After that, maybe she wouldn't have any trouble with food so Tsubasa might not feel the need to push it upon her, but i can't imagine someone as smart as Tsubasa couldn't also find a way to do that without Chika feeling like she's getting a hand out, fuck, rig a contest, a free year of food if you call in like the onsen tickets she won.
I've spent little time imagining solutions to this and i'm honestly kind of unimpressed with Tsubasa's supposed intelligence if this wasn't all obvious as fuck to her... so i guess i'll just have to chalk it up to Selly being hyperfocused on where he's going with this story no matter how many obvious and simple solutions have to be ignored to get there.
Chika isn't willing to accept that much help, so Tsubasa needs to convince her to improve their lives without forcing it upon her. Touka will be taking over one day, so her running this apartment complex will give her some experience when it comes to business and potentially love due to Sensei. Then there's Sensei, who is a love interest of Chika's, a love interest of Touka's, and a love interest of her own, but he's also a piece of shit, so this will keep him close so that she can monitor and use him as she sees fit, while giving him the necessary freedom to keep him "happy".
If Tsubasa just suddenly buys up the Old District, then there's no way that won't go unnoticed by Chika, and Tsubasa's husband. I also doubt it'd be cost effective, and it's probably not something she has interest in overall. The Old District likely wouldn't be so decrepit if the Tsukiokas gave a damn. There's also the Yakuza presence, which might come into play, making the Old District kind of a potential war zone.
I also don't think Tsubasa sees Chika or Chinami as worth that much effort in the grand scheme of things. Chika sees her as a mother figure, but Tsubasa likely doesn't see her as much more than a potentially worthwhile investment for her, and her daughter's mental health. Just like Sensei.
