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

Archery, Archery Club??

Haruka Yuzan was stunned, not expecting that Mizutani Nozomi's hurried search for them was for this matter.

"Teacher Mizutani, is this a task assigned by the school?"

At this moment, Chiba Shimizu, standing nearby, asked softly. When the aloof young lady addressed a problem, she could always detect the most sensitive aspects.

"This isn't, it's a personal request from me... please," Mizutani Nozomi pleaded with her hands together, resembling a coquettishly cute little girl.

"I refuse." With no hint of emotion in her icy eyes, and without waiting for Haruka Yuzan to speak, Chiba Shimizu had already preemptively answered.

"Eh? So blunt? That's so heartless of you, little Shimizu."

Apparently, the relationship between Mizutani Nozomi and the young lady was quite good; he had heard others say that when Teacher Mizutani was in school, she too was a beautiful "Gao Ling Zhi Hua".

As for the rather large age gap between the two of them... Glancing again at the pitifully pleading Mizutani Nozomi, well, she was young at heart, not at all looking like a newlywed.

Since when do teachers beg students for favors like this?

"Can't you make an exception, little Shimizu?"

"No." The young lady's response was just as crisp and clear, but after thinking for a moment, she added, "I have other matters to attend to during this time."

Mizutani Nozomi visibly showed a hint of disappointment. Imagine, wearing an OL uniform, a young teacher at the brink between youthful and mature, puffing up her cheeks, resembling a little girl who's been wronged.

Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a foul! She's just too adorable, in front of Chiba-san, she looks more like the mischievous little sister.

"Okay, then..."

Before she could finish, Mizutani Nozomi looked up expectantly at Haruka Yuzan, who was about to speak,

But Chiba Shimizu seemed to have read the other party's intention,

"Haruka Yuzan cannot either, he has the same commitments as I do."

The icy voice extinguished the cute Teacher Mizutani's last hope, causing her to pout in disappointment, "Then... okay." Your next read is at empire

From start to finish, Haruka Yuzan hadn't said a word, making him glance towards the cool beauty standing beside him,

Hey, hey, hey, she wouldn't even entertain the thought of dealing with me this morning, and now she's making decisions for me?

What's this, being a mouthpiece for me?

Plus, Chiba-san always manages to say exactly what he's thinking, including this time. Even though he possesses master-level archery skills, he has a lot on his plate lately and really isn't in the mood to take on any side quests or the like.

He was actually worrying about how to refuse the adorable Teacher Mizutani, but the young lady, once again, voiced exactly what was on his mind.

Shoot, the ever-changing Chiba-san wouldn't happen to have awakened the ability to read minds this morning... it's a bit metaphysical, but Haruka Yuzan firmly refused to admit that she had seen right through him.

Darn genius beauty!!

"Indeed, it's like that."

Looking at Mizutani Nozomi, who was glancing up at him with those puppy eyes and a downturned head, Haruka Yuzan also smiled and nodded in agreement with the young lady's words,

"But why, Teacher Mizutani, did you think of coming to me and Chiba Student?"

There was a cute succulent plant on the office desk; occasionally, a breeze would cause the plump and juicy buds to sway gently.

Mizutani Nozomi slumped over the desk, looking dispirited. It was hard to imagine what kind of troubles could have reduced the usually thick-skinned teacher to this state...

Well... or rather, any slight issues tend to have this effect on her. No help for it, we're simple-minded people who live happily in ignorance!

"Because I'm the supervising teacher for the Archery Club!"

That statement made Haruka Yuzan pause for a second.

"You do archery?"

"No, that's not it, you would take the initiative to add more work to your plate?"

The two questions accurately reflected the boy's shock. After having known Mizutani Nozomi for quite some time, Haruka Yuzan had a fairly deep understanding of her:

Her levels of laziness and blissful ignorance were on par with those of Misaki Saki... perhaps... the only advantage was not being an otaku??

And considering contributing to society? Well... in terms of thoughtfulness, indeed she was a bit better than Misaki.

One educates, the other manufactures spiritual poison...

"Ah..." speaking of this, Mizutani Nozomi suddenly showed an awkward expression, as if someone had hit a nerve, and waved her hands dismissively,

"Don't sweat the details, the bottom line is that I was moved by their sincerity and ended up taking on this arduous task voluntarily!"

As she spoke, she seemed to regain her confidence, Mizutani Nozomi even straightened her posture, displaying a proud and self-satisfied look.

"Teacher Mizutani, could you make up a lie that's a little closer to the truth..." Haruka Yuzan clearly didn't buy it. That person was definitely bribed, or rather, easily fooled into becoming the supervising teacher!!

"Classmate Haruka, you should learn to respect your teacher!" Mizutani Nozomi huffed and puffed, starting to lecture.

"There shouldn't be teachers who resort to pleading with students like this." Haruka Yuzan muttered weakly.

"Isn't it just because I wanted to find two smart people to give me some advice?"

"...Is that really the reason?"

"Absolutely! I stake my hair on it!!"
