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

"Is this...is this what you call taking a rest? Haruka Yuzan, ugh! You big jerk!!"

The little one, in disarray, was pressed against the wall of the small cubicle,

her blushing little face looked especially tender, and her watery big eyes had unknowingly gathered a thin layer of mist.

"Even if Lady Misaki has infinite charm, at least let me rest, ugh!!!"

Staring at the boy who had hoisted her into mid-air, her pouty little mouth turned sulky, but before she could speak two sentences, those rosy lips were blocked by Haruka Yuzan again!

Like a small sailboat in the ocean, rolling with the surging waves, constantly rising and falling.

The frail body seemed as if it could be swept into the waves by the sea at any moment, vanishing without a trace.

Although Haruka Yuzan was holding her small behind quite steady with both hands.

But Misaki Saki still draped her arms around Haruka's neck, her little head tilted back, leaning against the wall.

The gentle morning light streamed through the skylight nearby.

Fluffy white clouds drifted across the azure sky.

Stepping out of the public restroom, Haruka Yuzan took a deep breath of fresh air; looking around, the whole world seemed as though it'd been enhanced by an anime filter.

"What beautiful weather, a wonderful day starts now."

The little one who was limping out behind him, looking at the tall figure in front, couldn't help but pout her lips,

"Not good at all!"

Right now, the little one looked pretty disheveled, her hair that had been tied in a high ponytail was now messy and spread out, a charming flush of red enveloped her innocent and adorable little face.

Hearing that naive and aggrieved voice, Haruka Yuzan turned around with a somewhat embarrassed smile,

"Misaki, think about it from another perspective, could it be your charm is just too overwhelming? That's why I couldn't resist? In fact, it's not my fault."

Walking up to the little one, he skillfully crouched down.

"Hmph!" Misaki Saki pursed her lips petulantly and huffed, then with a little effort, she jumped onto Haruka Yuzan's back,

"Although what you said is true, it's still tiring, alright!!"

Haruka Yuzan, supporting her little behind with his hands, picked up the little one; he couldn't help but show a helpless smile, "Today we only ran about three or four hundred meters, what are you tired for!"

"Hmph! What do you know!!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I know nothing! But, Misaki, if you think about it, didn't the incident at the restroom provide you with inspiration? You can go back and start creating tonight!!!"

"Hmm...now that you mention it, it seems... somewhat reasonable! (*╹▽╹*)"

Although it felt a bit strange, upon reflection, it seemed to make sense, Haruka Yuzan's remark made Misaki Saki feel like she really hadn't lost at all!!

Carrying the little one on his back, he walked toward the neighborhood supermarket, with a streak of white from an airplane's trail visible in the sky, a beautifully dreamy scene that activated Haruka Yuzan's thoughts,

"Of course, think about it from yet another angle."

"Which angle?"

"Did you enjoy yourself just now?"

"Yeah, I enjoyed it!"

"Did you get inspiration too?"

"Yeah, I did!!"

"And you also rested, didn't you?"

"I guess so..."

"That's right, just now in the restroom, you resolved three issues in one go, and I, I only gained pleasure! So, do you still blame me?"

"Um...." Misaki Saki was trying hard to think with her little head; she felt like she was being led in circles, but... couldn't quite find words for a rebuttal....

"It seems, I was being unreasonable just now?"

"Smart!" Haruka Yuzan smiled, enjoying how conversations with the little one were always so interesting, unlike talking with the ladies, which was too brain-consuming. Simple and straightforward, a few words were enough to sway her.

It was the result of their joint efforts, Misaki Saki, her radiant cooperation was the first of its kind with him!

"Of course, I don't need your gratitude, after all, I've always liked being secretly generous with good deeds!"

"Ugh! Why do I feel that something is odd?"

"Nothing's odd, don't think too much. Isn't the most basic between people trust? More sincerity, simpler living, how good is that."

"You're right, Haruka! Then I won't think anymore!"

"You should have done that earlier!"

.....

After buying two packs of sterile eggs and a large pile of snacks from the supermarket, Haruka Yuzan and Misaki Saki finally embarked on the journey back home.

After recovery and Haruka Yuzan's recent feeding, the little one's complexion looked noticeably better.

Alone, she was carrying a pile of snacks almost as tall as herself, struggling to move them.

Initially, Haruka Yuzan wanted to carry them for her, but Misaki Saki was not pleased. Oblivious to the strain, she wanted to proudly power her way back to the villa on her own,

saying it was to make up for the exercise Haruka had interrupted!

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho!"

Watching the little one move like a snail in front of him, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but fall into thought.

Could it be, with all the recent debris processing, he'd really turned the little one into a ditz?

He remembered their initial encounters, filled with intellectual battles and verbal sparring, and it wasn't like this...

At last, his gaze shifted to the corner of his attribute panel, to the skill he had always overlooked,

[Passive skill: Quick Thinking.]

Indeed, since acquiring this passive, his logical thinking seemed to have become increasingly active and clear.

Crushing Hoshina, teasing Misaki, getting even with Chiba was the best evidence.

The streets gradually filled with people.

Early to work and those who had not yet finished their shifts dragged their numb and weary bodies through this gigantic international city.

After breakfast.

Haruka Yuzan and Chiba-san walked together to school.

```

Approaching the corner where love and car crashes meet, the vague outline of the school was visible not far ahead. After a moment of hesitation, I still didn't choose to step aside.

I walked to school side by side with Chiba Shimizu.

Actually, the rumors at school about the two of us weren't completely unfounded. These two guys go to school together every day, and with their super-dazzling appearances, unless you're blind, you would definitely attract everyone's attention on the street.

However, since the always pure and noble Chiba-san hasn't said anything about it, why should I put on airs?

It seems the looks from the people around have already become accustomed; aside from admiration, not even a hint of surprise is visible.

"You really are enviable, Mr. Haruka!"

On the roadside, a male student wearing Kanagawa High School's uniform couldn't help but let out a sigh of envy.

"No kidding! On one side, there's the young miss of the Otome Family, and on the other is the young miss of the Chiba Family; it really is a tough choice to make."

The companion next to him also chimed in, his eyes revealing a mix of envy and timidity.

"But it's probably because Mr. Haruka is outstanding enough to make the two young misses fascinated with him..."

Following their gaze, if one looked over, the two impressively beautiful figures could be seen conversing casually, their shoulders shrugged timidly after a moment. They also muttered under their breath,

"Anyway, if it were you, not to mention talking with Miss Chiba, you probably wouldn't even have the courage to stand beside her."

"Hey, hey, hey, Honda-kun, that's going too far!!"

"Hahaha! I'm just stating the facts!"

.......

The sound of students' discussions reached my ears, a gentle breeze lifting the silver hair hanging by the girl's ear, revealing that breathtakingly beautiful face,

"This afternoon, there will be two people coming for interviews; do you have any requests?"

"You know already," Haruka Yuzan turned his head towards the delicate looking girl beside him, "I've always had a lot of trust in you, Chiba-san."

"Boring."

Chiba-san's deep contempt was reserved for those who boasted their ability to slack off with complete righteousness.

Immune, attack ineffective!

Haruka Yuzan might say he wouldn't be affected, but honestly, he totally didn't take the disdain of the young misses to heart.

Kidding, whether acting as a boss or a rentier, one had to be prepared for secretaries and tenants to look down on you and complain!

If you can't manage a team, all you can do is work yourself to death!

"I underestimated you before, Classmate Haruka."

"Did you underestimate my handsomeness, or my wit?"

"No, I underestimated how shameless you can be."

That might just be the most outrageous thing Chiba-san could say, indicating how truly helpless she felt before the young man smiling playfully at her.

"This is also one of the requirements to become a handsome Tokyo guy!"

In the face of the young lady's rolling eyes, he launched into today's beautifully romantic lessons.

Well, apart from Mizutani Nozomi's English class, for the most part of the day, Haruka Yuzan studied the knowledge system of "Economic Management".

Even though he said he wanted to be a hands-off manager, he still needed to enrich his essential knowledge and theory.

Mainly because... he had already self-studied all of the knowledge from the first, second, and third year of high school, and if he listened to the teachers' lessons now, he feared he might inadvertently reenact the classic 'chicken pecking at grains'

And just like that, the day at school passed by leisurely.

Looking out at the still radiant sky, Haruka Yuzan also felt somewhat unaccustomed as he yawned lazily.

Getting off at three in the afternoon really does make it easy to slack off.

"Mr. Haruka, I'll leave first."

"Hmm."

"Mr. Haruka, I'll head to the club activities first."

"Hmm."

"Mr. Haruka..."

Just as I picked up my bag, it seemed like I was rehearsed. Walking from the seat to the classroom door, almost all the female classmates sweetly greeted me.

They had packed their bags a few minutes earlier, but pretended to search for something and stayed in class, right?

Just to... say goodbye to Mr. Haruka?

"Always showing yourself off in front of others like this, aren't you afraid Otome will be jealous, Classmate Haruka?"

Walking through the spacious corridor, Chiba Shimizu, who saw the flashy Mr. Haruka beside her, couldn't help but furrow her gently arching brows.

"Hey, hey, Chiba-san, you can't just start rumors! I'm not showing off, today is a very normal day."

Mr. Haruka countered the young lady's questioning without any hesitation.

This situation had already persisted for quite some time. Even though I had become infamous as a heartless playboy among the boys, every day there were still girls stuffing their love letters into my locker, hoping someday Mr. Haruka would deign to notice them.

Although Otome Mizuko was dissatisfied with this, she truly didn't take those people seriously. The only person who could be considered Otome's rival was the delicate looking girl before her.

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, the azure sky devoid of any clouds, as clear as a young girl's eyes, exuding a soul-stirring beauty.

Chiba Shimizu lifted her head, giving the boy in front a casual glance without saying much.

"The interviewees are already waiting at the villa gate."

"Alright, I'll have Misaki go and entertain them."

After that, there was no further exchange.

.......

"You, are you here for the interview today?"

"Y-Yes, may I ask if you are Miss Chiba?"

Inside the villa, looking at the junior high student in front of her who was wearing a tank top and huge frog-eye sunglasses inside the house, Yaguchi Risa nervously swallowed.

"No, it's not me, but, you see, I have a question to ask!"

"Is it about the interview?"

"Yes!!"
