I asked about having an apartment rented for me.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Thank you for your question. I see—you’re looking for a man who wants to keep you exclusively. You could say something like: “I’d rather receive a long-lasting or lifetime piece of jewelry or a bag in return. Since this would be something like a contract, I’d like us to clearly agree on the terms. Would that be okay?” Then set out terms such as: 1. No entering my apartment without permission, even with a spare key. 2. Basically, I’d prefer you not to come into my apartment. 3. If we decide to end things, you need to give me two months’ notice because I’ll need time to arrange my next place to live. 4. In exchange for having me exclusively, you’ll buy me a lifetime piece of jewelry and a bag. 5. You’ll always treat me kindly. I think it would be a good idea to establish the terms clearly like that. If that’s difficult, then I’d prefer to continue seeing each other as we have been. Something like that… But increasing the allowance would probably be more beneficial for the woman.

I’m Fullerene, a male member! Looks like you’ve mixed together two separate questions. As for the latter, how about asking for something valuable rather than directly asking for money, and making up for not seeing other people that way? After all, isn’t it about time for the gift-requesting season? You could try phrasing it creatively, like: “Since I won’t be seeing anyone else, you’d better splurge on my Christmas or event gift, okay? (heart)” Then see what you think when you receive the gift. As for the former: “I want you to stop seeing other men” and “I want to know where you are” may sound similar, but they’re actually two different things. Do be careful. Incidentally, there are apps that can spoof your GPS location. You could also carry a second phone. There are all kinds of ways to deal with it!

I’m Kazu, a male member. I see—you’re talking about a man who wants to keep you all to himself. If that’s what he wants, I don’t think his demands can be met unless you agree to be exclusive to him. If you’re going to see only that man, I think it would be best to negotiate either an increased allowance or a commitment to meet a certain number of times. If he wants to know where you are, how about agreeing to share your location or stay in frequent contact, and asking for an increased allowance in return? As for why you don’t want to move, I think it would be good to say something like, “I’d be in trouble if my papa abandoned me soon after I moved.” People often call things “for life,” but I don’t think anything truly is. When I was young, I bought lots of expensive watches, but now they’re just decorations on my watch winders. Even with jewelry, I think what suits you changes depending on your age. Cash or gold bars are the best. > Mr. Maezawa in #5244 > Around 2004, gold was about ¥1,550 per gram, so even 500 grams would have been ¥775,000... Come to think of it, the price of gold rose quite a bit during COVID, so its value might decline in the future...
