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

"Sister Reiko, this is Yaguchi Risa, who will be working at the coffee shop from now on."

"Risa, this is Reiko Onodera, your manager, and the girl behind her is Arisugawa Hoshina, your supervisor and future colleague."

After Haruka Yuzan introduced everyone, Yaguchi Risa stood up promptly, bowing respectfully to the two of them.

"Hello! My name is Yaguchi Risa, please take good care of me!!"

Even though she didn't plan to work at the coffee shop for long, when you meet your immediate and higher supervisors, you have to greet them properly!

The shy and introverted girl was met with a friendly hand from Reiko Onodera, "Hello, little Risa, we're all family here."

"Yes, hello!" Yaguchi Risa hastily took the madam's hand and started bowing again.

Leaving the lady thoroughly bemused.

"Little Risa is always like this, Sister Reiko, please don't take it to heart."

Misaki Saki, who was standing beside them, tugged at Yaguchi Risa's sleeve, "Little Risa, you don't have to be so formal, it's not good to be too stiff! Relax a bit."

"Yes, yes."

Yaguchi Risa nodded nervously, the blush on her face saying it all, she was indeed very nervous!

Reiko Onodera then showed a heartwarming smile, continuing to the girl, "Risa, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? It'll be good for everyone to get to know you."

"Yes, that would be, that would be nice." Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

The madam's heartening smile seemed to shine into the girl's heart, like sunlight clearing the mists, bringing a wave of comfort and satisfaction.

It even eased the girl's tense mood.

Seeing this, Haruka Yuzan also stood up with a smile, took the plastic bag from the madam's hand, and headed to the kitchen.

"Talk here for a while, I'll go prepare tonight's dinner."

"Cooking?"

Yaguchi Risa looked up, clearly surprised by Haruka Yuzan's ability to cook.

Usually… someone of his age residing in such a large villa, running a coffee shop, and looking so handsome, wouldn't seem like someone who could cook…

But... surprisingly, everyone appeared quite reassured…

Not long after he entered the kitchen, Reiko Onodera followed him in.

"Sister Reiko, you should spend more time outside chatting with Risa." Haruka Yuzan washed the beef while laughing.

"There will be time for that, how could I let you busy yourself alone here?" Reiko Onodera walked over, her black hair falling over her cheeks, tying on an apron while smiling, "Besides, I can tell that Risa is a good kid."

"Indeed, she is just a bit nervous, but everything else is not bad." Haruka Yuzan glanced at the madam twice, then quickly averted his eyes.

Every time he saw Sister Reiko in an apron, there was always a strange urge within him!!

...In his previous life, when watching action movies, he particularly liked the kitchen scene CG.

Tying the apron around her waist, Reiko Onodera straightened the hair by her ears and walked over, "Haruka, regarding the waitstaff, wouldn't hiring two more be adequate?"

With her own and Hoshina's faces, that made five people. For a coffee shop of over two hundred square meters, that was completely sufficient.

"Yeah, pretty much, the plan list is with Shimizu."

Haruka Yuzan nodded, always catching that faint, seemingly inexistent fragrance.

Restless and familiar...

Glancing at the gentle person beside him, staring at those rosy lips, he subconsciously leaned in for a kiss…
