[6] I somehow overlooked this until this chapter. It's very cute. Rent seeking is immoral, but I'll overlook it for the Adult life
Where is the rent seeking? The only thing I saw is the girl already has a place for free from grandmother, then turn around and rent most of the house to the mangaka. Essentially get paid for doing nothing. Living in the house just so put an apperance that she lives in the house (True) when grandma visits. Grandma notices right away, hence the girl has to be in the "Forgive me" posture.
Rent seeking actually does not just for rent. Other similar economic or financial or accounting use these loop holes to get unearned income. In this case, the girl gets free money from the tenant, for she just use the attic as living room, bedroom...
The big question is, won't an idol, especially a very popular one, has enough money herself..(Wait, that is another rent seeking from song copyrights).
The way Grandma insists the girl to call her first name plus a honorific for kids makes me laugh. What a weird family.
