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

Chapter 48: Chapter 45: To Be Continued? (Seeking Follow-up Reads)



When she emerged from the bathroom, even Reiko Onodera was a bit surprised.

The kind-hearted Mrs. Onodera watched the girl nearly knock her face into the bowl and ultimately couldn't hold back,

"Or maybe, Misaki, you could go back to your room and sleep for a bit? I can put your meal in an insulated box, and you can eat after you wake up?"

"Hm?"

Misaki Saki stopped her pecking as soon as she heard someone calling her, quickly raising her head,

"Ah? I'm fine, really, I'll just eat now. Otherwise, it would be trouble for you."

The girl's voice was so low in this state that it made Reiko Onodera feel a twinge of heartache,

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

Raising her head to give the madam a smile bright as the sunshine, she said, "I haven't slept last night..."

"You child..."

On hearing that, Reiko Onodera couldn't help but frown.

"Sister Reiko, it's okay, don't mind her. Misaki often stays up late; she's used to it. Let's just eat," Haruka Yuzan said indifferently.

"Well, alright then."

Mrs. Onodera sighed a bit helplessly,

then, while eating, she watched Misaki Saki closely to prevent the girl from actually tumbling her head into the bowl.

The breakfast scene, it was just like that of a family.

A gentle mother, a sensible big brother, and a mischievous little sister...

The golden morning light scattered in sparsely,

After finishing his meal, Haruka Yuzan bid farewell to the madam and left the villa donning his custom-made school uniform.

Not until his tall figure disappeared from sight did Mrs. Onodera withdraw her gaze. Read engaging stories on m vl-em|p-yr

The living room fell silent again, the only sound being the regular breathing coming from the girl sitting at the dining table.

The sunlight shone on the girl's cute face, peaceful and serene…

.......

Upon entering the classroom, the sound of a few boys gathered together in heated discussion could be heard.

"Hey, how do you plan to attend the swim class this afternoon?"

"How else? Stand up during the class, of course!"

"Remember the scene during the last swim class? Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Ah, too bad, Class President never joins these classes."

"Yeah, but even without the Class President, the other pretty girls are really..."

"Hey, can you guys avoid us when you discuss such topics?"

Finally, the boys' animated conversation drew the displeasure of the girls in class.

"Exactly, boys are so gross!"

"We call it appreciation, and besides, it's not like you don't look at us, right?"

The girls' discontent immediately aroused the boys' rebuttal, and the classroom became lively all at once.

A debate about whether boys should watch cute girls in swimwear during swimming classes?

Classmate Haruka sat at his own desk, quietly turning his head towards the window, looking as if he had no dispute with the world.

However, in his heart, he was rooting for the boys engaged in the debate.

He didn't have to say it out loud but had to support them deeply from within.

It was enough for the well-behaved young man to support them in his heart; he preferred not to get involved physically, as he hated arguing with people the most.

"Uh... A person from Art Class C knows the word 'appreciation'?!"

"Right, right, even if we do look, we wouldn't be looking at you guys! If we were to look, we'd be looking at... at Classmate Haruka!"

With that one line, the whole class fell silent,

and the previously uninvolved young man was involuntarily swept into the battlefield, with everyone's eyes turning to him.

Looking up, the speaker was a seemingly introverted little girl, demure and quiet. To think she had also joined in?

"Why are you looking at me? Carry on, it's none of my business, haha!"

Haruka Yuzan wouldn't easily express his opinions. The quietly beautiful boy merely needed to stay silent.

At that moment, Chiba Shimizu walked into the classroom and stood at the podium, her cool aura prompting everyone to obediently return to their seats.

The absurd and boring debate thus ended the moment the class president stepped into the room.

"Next week is exam week. The teacher said they hope everyone will study hard and aim to move up in the class rankings."

After conveying the teacher's message, the aloof class president returned to her seat,

Just as Haruka Yuzan habitually glanced at the beautiful girl's back, Chiba Shimizu suddenly turned around,

The unforeseen situation caused the boy to instinctively lower his head and flip through his book,

"Instead of worrying about a girl seeing the outline of your swim trunks, why not think about how to break into the top three of your grade?"

The clear voice reached his ears, and Haruka Yuzan looked up to see that beautiful face and her indifferent eyes.

Huh? Did she hear everything just now?

Fortunately, he hadn't voiced any opinion. While relieved, he also questioned the latter part of the girl's remark,

What did being seen by a beautiful girl have to do with making it into the top three of the grade?

Perhaps noticing the confusion in the boy's eyes, Chiba Shimizu then spoke indifferently,

"Even if you can't make it into the top three, Haruka, could you at least move your foot off my chair first?"

Her comment snapped Haruka Yuzan out of his daze, as he realized one of his feet was resting on the leg of the girl's chair.

It wasn't very heavy, but it was enough to trouble the class president a bit.

No wonder the cool class president had suddenly said some nonsensical things to him. It seemed she had tried to bring him to his senses, unfortunately, his perception wasn't sharp enough.

"Sorry about that, Chiba Student."

Meeting her even colder eyes, Haruka Yuzan withdrew his foot.

It was a total accident.

"Also, please restrain yourself. Next time you stare at my back, try to keep it under one minute,"

Chiba Shimizu's gaze was deep and tranquil, like a still pond without a ripple,

"Any longer than that makes me very uncomfortable."

Her earnest words made her pretty face seem somewhat... cute?

He disliked smart people, even more so smart beauties.

Haruka Yuzan sighed and then shifted his gaze to the cherry trees outside the window,

He had just received a message from Mrs. Onodera, who had arranged everything for Misaki Saki before going to work.

She was thorough and considerate.

His fingers tapped lightly on his book, but his mind couldn't help but wander to the birthday plans for Onodera.

And that girl Misaki Saki,

When he checked the wish list this morning, he saw that the second wish remained unfulfilled, still lingering on the System's page.

Did this mean Misaki Saki hadn't found any inspiration last night?

Or could it be that the method she used to find inspiration wasn't enough to completely solve her problem? Perhaps another approach was needed?

What a headache.
