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

Watching the two as they walked back into the master bedroom.

Misaki Saki and Arisugawa Hoshina exchanged a glance, each reading from the other's eyes a strong whiff of the flames of war!!

The meal had already been consumed, but the competition over Haruka Yuzan must not soften because of that!!

Coexistence is the truth!! For the sake of future "happiness" and time together, they must fight on!!!

...…

Night.

The evening courtyard was very quiet, with cicadas chirping intermittently, as Haruka Yuzan gently patted the exposed, fair shoulder of a girl.

It wasn't until she had fallen into a deep sleep that he finally had time to check his phone messages.

They had been buzzing non-stop earlier, and at this late hour, it was hard to imagine anyone bombarding him with texts.

Opening the LINE chat, after skipping past two useless pieces of news, he directly caught the troublemaker.

Misaki Saki: Are you there? Are you there? It's urgent!! [Looking around]

Misaki Saki: What are you up to, huh? Please reply if you receive this!! [Binoculars]

Misaki Saki: I need to speak with you tonight, when you're done, remember to message me back!! [Devious little demon]

The later the messages, the weirder they got, making Haruka Yuzan's face grow increasingly darker.

This guy! Not getting scolded for the past two days, she thinks she's tough again, huh!

Just as the boy was contemplating this, another message from her popped up.

Misaki Saki: You've read it!!! Are you done yet?! Are you free tonight? No, wait, is little Yumeko-chan okay?

Without hurrying to reply,

Glancing at the young lady who lay in his arms, breathing evenly, Haruka Yuzan called out softly:

"Yumeko? Yumeko? I'm going to get a drink of water, you go to sleep first."

"Mmm mmm..."

Otome Yumeko, tired from the day's activities, uncomfortably shifted her body but did not wake up.

Seeing this, Haruka Yuzan gently extracted himself from the young lady's embrace, dressed hastily, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Heading straight to the room at the end of the hallway.

"Eh? Why isn't Haruka replying to my message?"

In the bedroom, Misaki Saki, wearing a thin tank top, sat cross-legged on the large bed, her cute face fixed on her phone screen, and her pretty brows involuntarily furrowed.

"Hasn't Haruka replied to your message yet?"

Arisugawa Hoshina asked from the other side, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of urgency.

Everything was planned on the assumption that Haruka Yuzan would come; if he didn't show up at all, what was there to talk about?

"Right, he's seen the message but not replied, who knows what that jerk is doing now?"

Misaki Saki pouted unhappily. Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a turning doorknob came from outside the room.

Turning her head, she saw Haruka Yuzan pushing the door open and walking in.

"Misaki Saki, I think your behind is..."

Before he could finish, he spotted a familiar figure sitting next to the little one.

"Huh? Hoshina, why are you here too?"

Arisugawa Hoshina and Misaki Saki did not reply; exchanging glances, they each read in the other's eyes the triumphant meaning of a little lamb wandering into a den of wolves.

"Haruka, we have something we'd like to talk to you about..."

"You....what are you going to do? Don't, don't come any closer!!!"

The summer heat was intense.

The hot wind outside kept blowing into the classroom.

Sitting in the "throne", Haruka Yuzan conscientiously closed the window and turned on the air conditioner.

Almost instantly, a cool breeze blew, isolating the suffocating heat from outside.

"Ah~ it's really too hot! Mr. Haruka!"

Heisuke Yonchu came over, his face showing no sign of distress from the heat, but instead a mischievously sneaky smile.

"Yeah, indeed."

Haruka Yuzan was looking at a flyer in his hand, replying with a casual calm.

"Mr. Haruka, guess what I stumbled upon yesterday?"

Heisuke Yonchu leaned on Haruka's desk without a care, glanced around, made sure everybody's attention was on Mr. Haruka, then deliberately lowered his voice.

"You won't believe it!! I found what!!"

"What did you find?" Haruka Yuzan asked, his handsome face wearing a nonchalant air.

"A game, or the masterpieces of the big teachers?!"

Nowadays, ordinary things simply couldn't stir the heart of the Tokyo beau.

Life is like a brilliant script, and his is like playing a game from the i-company.

Especially that night, under the double squeeze of Misaki Saki and Arisugawa Hoshina, Haruka Yuzan unsurprisingly fell into a state of brief collapse.

When he left that night, he had to lean against the wall for support... his legs were trembling!!!

"I found the full collection of 'Beautiful Girl Kaleidoscope'!" said Heisuke Yonchu with a smile.

Haruka Yuzan was taken aback, surprise flickering in his eyes.

"There's a full collection for this game?"

"Yeah, apparently it's a compilation made by some bigwig from the East."

Heisuke Yonchu said excitedly.

A compilation made by a mysterious bigwig from the East??

For a moment, it reminded Haruka Yuzan of that mysterious organization.

"Ding-ding-ding..."

The class bell rang, its sound long and languid, filled with the essence of youthful romance.

"Chiba-san, do we need someone to wear a maid outfit and stand at the entrance of the cafe tomorrow?"

In the activity classroom, Haruka Yuzan looked at the demure girl seated on the wooden chair and asked with a smile.

"According to psychology, recruiting a group of part-timers to stand at the door in maid costumes can indeed have a very good promotional effect."

Chiba Shimizu said indifferently, pausing slightly before continuing, "But it's hard not to wonder if there might be some personal motives of Classmate Haruka involved."

"That's a wrongful accusation! Little Shimizu, dedicated entirely to our common wealth, how could there be any selfishness?!"

The always upright and kind Mr. Haruka faced such serious disdain, showing a look of heartfelt pain.

"Throwing myself wholeheartedly into the work of the café is what a Tokyo hunk should be doing right now!!"

"It'd better be," Chiba Shimizu said coldly.

The refined face was expressionless, and it seemed as though she recalled something, her autumnal eyes flickering with a ripple of disdain:

"Please don't repeat what happened the other night, at least not when Otome Mizuko is around, don't let Sister Reiko and the others get hurt."

Her voice was chilling, seeming to lower the very temperature of the air around them.

"With me here, how could I let Sister Reiko and the others get hurt?"

Haruka Yuzan tried to defend himself.

"What I mean is, don't let Otome Mizuko hurt others, I'm not talking about you," Chiba Shimizu repeated her earlier statement.

There was an undeniable resolution in her tone.

"So, whatever you're planning, remember to stay rational and not be ruled by impulse, you... should understand Otome Mizuko's personality better than I do."

A breeze lifted a corner of the girl's hair through the gauze window, and the beautiful girl sitting on the wooden chair exuded an elegant and unsophisticated charm. Her skirt hem lifted slightly, revealing a patch of delicate, radiant skin.

The "Absolute Territory" was alluring.

Yet, those clear and cold beautiful eyes were equally intimidating.

"Don't worry, Chiba-san, I'll handle everything," Haruka Yuzan promised, seeing her serious side for the first time.

Sunlight shone on the boy's handsome face, full of sincerity.

Chiba Shimizu just watched him quietly, and for some reason, even though they were very familiar with each other,

every time she saw Haruka Yuzan's eyes, her heart would beat wildly, "thump, thump."

[Passive Skill: "Charm Eyes" has been activated.]

Gradually, a blush rose on the girl's cheeks, and her soft, tender skin looked even more bouncy and smooth.

Without a word between them, Haruka Yuzan slowly bent down and pressed his lips directly upon the girl's.

Her long eyelashes trembled in the air, her autumnal eyes wide open, a fleeting look of shock in their depths.

But Haruka Yuzan didn't care and reached out to encircle the girl's snowy-white neck, pulling her whole body tighter to him.

For a moment, the only sounds in the activity classroom were their urgent breathing.

Just as Haruka Yuzan was about to play with the glistening QQ pudding, the door of the activity classroom was knocked on.

Once, twice, three times...

Finally, after the third knock, the person outside lost patience.

They turned the doorknob with due propriety and pushed open the door.

What met their eyes was the simply but luxuriously set up layout of the activity classroom.

A cozy sofa, bookshelves, air conditioning, and a game console—it was like a mini lounge.

The girl inside sat on a wooden chair, gently wiping her mouth with her delicate hands, tea cups and books arranged on the desk, all very befitting of a beautiful girl with an elegant scholarly persona.

But for some reason, there were still two undissipated blushes on her delicate, doll-like face.

How odd!!

The first time seeing the usually aloof Chiba Shimizu blush?! What just happened?!

As my curiosity was piqued, I found my attention drawn away by Haruka Yuzan on the other side.

"Beneath the cherry blossom tree, romantic tales unfold continuously, who knows how many young couples' make-ups and break-ups it has witnessed!"

The sudden appearance of this literary voice instantly captured the attention of the two of them.

The boy standing beside watched on unconcernedly, with his back to the door, looking out the window as if something mesmerizing were happening, deeply engaging his attention.

Perhaps only a pure love drama like Godzilla fighting a magical girl could capture Haruka Yuzan's gaze nowadays.

But when Mizutani Nozomi tiptoed to look in the same direction as Haruka, all she saw were green fields, a lawn, locust trees, and not even a human figure—let alone a cherry blossom tree?!

What in the world is this guy talking about?

Why has the tone suddenly turned so literary?

"Shimizu, Haruka, he...??"

Unable to figure it out myself, I opted to ask the cool Miss Chiba for assistance in unraveling the mystery of the boy's puzzling behavior.

I had even forgotten to inquire about the cause of the girl's blushing.

By this time, Chiba Shimizu had already returned to her normal composure, and a fleeting look of panic flashed through her autumnal eyes, but it was quickly managed by the class president.

"Perhaps, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing..."

She softly replied, her gaze also falling onto the person of Kanagawa High School's most popular female teacher.

"Teacher Mizutani, what brings you here?"

Normally, nobody visits the activity room, especially since everyone in the school knows that this is Otome Mizuko's and Chiba Shimizu's territory.

Without the permission of the two young ladies, even teachers are reluctant to interfere here.

This was also Mizutani Nozomi's first visit.@@novelbin@@

A spur-of-the-moment thing?? But there's nothing outside, what's he feeling romantic about?!

Though sarcastic thoughts filled my mind, upon hearing the girl's question, Mizutani Nozomi waved her hands and ignored Haruka Yuzan, who was "going crazy" over there.

"Shimizu, I'm here to see you this time; it has nothing to do with that guy."

Mizutani Nozomi walked up to the girl with a grin on her face, her smile betraying no trace of a teacher's demeanor.

As if the seated Chiba Shimizu were the teacher, had the situation flipped?

Seeing this scene reflected in the window, Haruka Yuzan let out a sigh of relief, it's better to divert Mizutani Nozomi's attention...

Otherwise, knowing Teacher Mizutani's character, she would definitely pursue the matter relentlessly...
