Tokyo landlord: why is the panties of the lady next door in my house?!

On the community streets in the early morning,

attractive males and females in school uniforms walked shoulder to shoulder together.

The young man, tall and star-like, had a natural affability about him.

Although the young girl barely reached the height of the boy's neck, her delicate and pure face combined with a cold temperament, ensured her charm was in no way inferior to the person beside her.

Together, they nearly formed the most dazzling scene on the street, with the tender falling cherry blossoms serving as a backdrop.

The girl spoke with a straight face, going on and on, while the boy listened with his head bowed, as if... a little couple was quarreling?

Unable to hear the content of their conversation, passersby couldn't help but wildly speculate. Was this what it looked like when a soap opera scene entered reality? Even if it was an argument, it still gathered everyone's attention as the focal point...

Unfortunately,

"Allocating seventy thousand yen for promotion... as for staff wages.... let's wait until we see the size of the shop to make plans...."

Her icy eyes devoid of emotion, Chiba Shimizu was like a diligent secretary, thoroughly reporting her work to her boss.

The "boss" Haruka Yuzan, however, occasionally nodded to show he was following, but his furrowed brows seemed to indicate... that he was experiencing some difficulty in his plans.

After the young lady's calculations, excluding rent and renovation, he would need at least over a million yen of his own....

Currently, he only had 921,832 yen (867,832 + 50,000 + 4,000) in hand. After purchasing all that, he would be basically broke.

But the good news was,

Everything the young lady just talked about could be postponed. After choosing the shop in the next two days, they would start arranging the renovation. This project would probably take a month or two,

allowing him to allocate his current funds for renting and renovation. Thus, buying him a lot more time.

Subsequent financial issues would also be resolved.

After all, two weeks later, Misaki Saki would be published, and the days of earning money while lying down would arrive.

"Hmm, money isn't an issue, thanks for your hard work, class president."

After a mental tally, Haruka Yuzan's mood improved significantly.

Although the rewards for each wish list were small, the sheer volume of them was substantial. It hadn't been long, yet he had already become... a millionaire!!!

Albeit in yen...

After a bout of mental triumph, Haruka Yuzan started his daily PUA anew,

"Shimizu, let's work hard together, and aim to spread our café all over the Island Country!! To create a business empire belonging to you, me, and us. That's what we should be doing, rather than spending all day in school, clutching books, and poring over them,

So, Chiba-san, let's work hard together, okay? The initial phase is tough, but it's all worth it — for that victorious fruit...

Let's strive together to do something meaningful...."

The boy's words were tempting, like a devil whispering into the ear, just waiting to see if the pure goddess above would stoop to consorting with a scoundrel....

A flicker of movement crossed Chiba Shimizu's eyes, and her autumn-water-like pupils also rippled,

Something meaningful...? It did sound quite interesting and challenging... a brand new and distinctive experience,

"Okay."

"We'll still need to..." Haruka Yuzan, who was in the middle of his PUA, was stunned. He didn't expect the girl to give him a response — and not one of boredom or disdain, but an affirmative one???

He didn't react for a moment,

"Um... Chiba, what did you just say?"

Chiba Shimizu stopped walking, her fair face relaxed with a hint of ease, and her eyes lively with other emotions,

"I said, okay. This matter does indeed seem quite interesting...."

She repeated,

A gentle breeze carrying soft pink petals passed between them, creating a romantically beautiful atmosphere....

Looking at the serious girl before him, Haruka Yuzan was momentarily at a loss for words.

[Tenant: 004]

[Name: Chiba Shimizu]

[Tenant's Wish List:]

[1. I want to master the art of making curry.]

[2. I hope to discover the secret between Otome Mizuko and Haruka Yuzan by observation.]

[3. I wish to find something interesting to do besides reading and cooking.]

[Completion of Wish List Three, Reward: Chiba Shimizu's Secret (To Be Claimed)]

....

A gentle breeze wafted through the screen, ruffling the boy's hair,

Haruka Yuzan sat in his seat, glanced at the delicate back of the pretty girl in front of him, and then at the words on the virtual panel.

[Chiba Shimizu's Secret (To Be Claimed)]

Indulging in peering into someone else's secrets isn't a very nice habit, is it!

The history teacher on the podium was still fervently discussing the loyalty, strategy, and conflicts of the Three Kingdoms period...

The students below were even more moved,

apparently more excited and impassioned than when they had learned about the Warring States period.

It was another popular IP and phase...

Haruka Yuzan, too, was inspired,

[Chiba Shimizu's Secrets:]

[Secret One: She has had the habit of keeping a diary since she was young and would always carry it in her backpack.]

[Secret Two: She enjoys the time spent with Reiko Onodera, especially when cooking, feeling a love she has always missed in her heart.]

[Secret Three: After running away from home, she started to harbor feelings for Haruka Yuzan that she was reluctant to admit, feeling resistant. (ps: Haruka Yuzan has barely made it to a three-quarters stage in her heart...)]

[Secret Four: She has noticed that there's something unusual about the relationship between Haruka Yuzan and Misaki Saki, but the girl doesn't plan to speak up about it yet.]

[Secret Five: She previously enjoyed living alone, but now, when by herself, she always feels a bit uneasy... These last few nights, she has dreamt of Haruka Yuzan...]

Wow, five secrets rolled out in one go,

Haruka Yuzan, looking at the scrolling text on the virtual panel, also caught a few key points,

Running away from home, hmm... He had guessed as much.

Writing in a diary, hmm... very fitting for a lady of her status.

Mrs. Onodera's maternal radiance is indeed dazzling, perfect for two people: one missing a daughter by her side, the other missing a mother's love since childhood...

But what the heck is Secret Three? Three-quarters? Meaning, I wasn't even considered a complete, mention-worthy person in the young lady's heart before??? Resistant?? Why would she be resistant... The more he read, the more confused he became...

However, when he saw Secret Four, he almost jumped, involuntarily glancing up at the dainty back of the girl in front of him.

This... she's already noticed? If it weren't for the remark that she won't speak out, Haruka Yuzan would have already imagined the dreadful scenes that could unfold in the future.

[The Hundred Things About My Weaknesses Being Known by the Beautiful Class President.]

He needed to come up with a plan to deal with this, to be prepared... If he could also grasp some embarrassing secrets about the young lady, at the very least, he would have a bargaining chip when the time came...

Secret Five was not much of a concern; Haruka's interpretation of it was,

[Does the outwardly cool young lady now feel an excessive sense of loneliness and desolation?]

Yeah, a mainstream and easy-to-understand explanation. As for dreaming about him... Haruka Yuzan thought it necessary to observe a little longer...

He had to see what kind of dreams they were...

......

In the clear sky speckled with white clouds, a gentle breeze blew,

a romantic cherry blossom rain fell in the beautiful campus,

peace and tranquility reigned within the school grounds, as Haruka Yuzan raised his head, taking notes quietly in his textbook.
