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

"I want to join too!"

Haruka Yuzan raised his hand to show that this activity couldn't go on without him!

"As the only one who can be King, how can I not participate in the game?"

"Hmph! Without you, we can still have a lot of fun!!"

Arisugawa Hoshina huffed a sentence, seeming to have changed her tactics at some point.

"This game, if it's all girls, will be really boring! I guarantee, with me in it, the playability will rise by a notch!"

Haruka Yuzan shifted his body a bit, his eyes filled with longing for the game.

"Tch! →_→"

Misaki Saki made no effort to hide her disdain for the boys.

"I bet you're just thinking about taking advantage during the game!"

The naive voice echoed in the living room, and several beautiful girls guiltily lowered their heads.

A faint blush crawled up their cheeks, and among those present, aside from Miss Otome, who was forthright, the rest had something to hide.

"Alright, alright, let's start!"

Arisugawa Hoshina waved her hand, swiftly shifting everyone's attention.

Reiko Onodera unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she hadn't been able to think of what to say after Little Miss had directly pointed it out.

Indeed, the King's Friendship game was usually just for fooling around.

Their arrangement of six girls to one boy was indeed unprecedented.

Haruka Yuzan was unlikely to be at a disadvantage.

Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

However, it was the first time they had participated in such a game and they had become somewhat restrained.

Otome Mizuko still looked indifferent.

At the scene, only Haruka and Chiba Shimizu could catch the attention of the young lady.

Everyone's expressions were noticed by Mariko Akiyama.

The surprise this gave the beautiful madam was mixed with a sense of... inevitability?

It was as if, everything happening to Haruka Yuzan, seemed... normal?

Young, handsome, rich, and also kind-hearted, considerate, and eloquent.

No one would probably refuse such a mate, right?

If one were to say that those young girls in their villa had nothing to do with Haruka Yuzan, Mariko Akiyama would find it odd!

"It should be quite normal, but..."

As if struck by a thought, Mariko Akiyama's face reddened.

"If there really are five or six of them, then Haruka's body..."

"Should be quite good."

The last sentence remained in the madam's heart; she didn't say it aloud.

"Hmm... So, are we using playing cards or chopsticks?"

"Playing cards... What do you guys think?"

"Okay."

"I'll get the cards; I remember we have them."

"They should be in the drawer in the room. Mother, I'll get them!!"

"I was the one who put them there last time!!"

......

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

The moon shone brightly, the summer insects chirped endlessly in the courtyard.

The dim light hung from the ceiling, illuminating the row of people in the living room.

The beautiful girls were scantily clad, almost all of them wearing cool little tank tops.

Large areas of fair skin were exposed, and the creaking fan nearby meant it wasn't too hot.

Rika Onodera rummaged from the bedroom and placed a somehow old set of playing cards on the table.

"Here it is! I brought the playing cards for you all!!"

Although the little one also wanted to join the game, her older sisters said it was only for adults.

The little girl could only watch from the side.

But being able to help her sisters made her very happy! (*^▽^*)

"Thank you, little Rika-chan!"

Arisugawa Hoshina patted Rika Onodera's little head, and it was evident that she enjoyed it.

"When our Rika grows up, she will surely be a kind and helpful young lady!"

Haruka Yuzan was picking playing cards while smilingly offering his praise.

"Ah? Hehe."

Rika Onodera bashfully scratched her head.

The King's Game is one of the most common board games in the Island Country.

The rules of the game are also very simple, you just need a deck of playing cards, take out the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of hearts, let everyone draw randomly, and the one who gets the specified joker card is the King!!

"King" can, without looking at the numbers of the others, randomly pick between the numbers 2 to 7, commanding any two or three people to do anything, subject to the King's orders!

It's convenient and leisurely, the prime choice for taking advantage.

In most cases, players will absolutely obey the King's orders.

"Okay, then the game starts now!"

Since there were seven of them playing, they took out the cards numbered 2 to 8.

And designated the number "3" as the King's card.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, let me see if I can gather some luck!"

Saki Misaki shuffled the cards in her hands back and forth as if praying, shrieking frantically.

"Great God of the Abyss, please hear the wish of your most faithful gambler!"

"Open up! Let the King come!!"

Saki Misaki shouted and then glanced quietly at her own hole card.

However, when she saw the number on it, her pink little face collapsed visibly fast.

Clearly, she was not the King.

"Tch! (￣_,￣)"

"All thunder, no rain."

After seeing the little one wasn't the King's card, Arisugawa Hoshina smirked contemptuously.

What's the use of shouting so loudly?

"In the end, isn't it up to me?"

With a deft flick of her finger, her previously animated eyes turned displeased, for she wasn't the King either.

"Hahaha! You have the nerve to laugh at me!!"

Saki Misaki mercilessly began to verbally assault Little Miss.

Arisugawa Hoshina wanted to retort, but she genuinely didn't know what to say.

"So, who's the King?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Even the usually aloof Chiba-san joined in the glances, while Miss Otome remained indifferent, casually wrapping her arm around Haruka Yuzan's.

Yet not a single person stepped forward to speak.

Where was the King?

Finally, Haruka Yuzan cleared his throat twice, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"You're the King?"

Misaki Saki asked curiously.

"Your humble servant." Haruka Yuzan turned over the playing card on the table.

"Hearts three."

"What?! It's really you! We're doomed then!!"

Upon realizing it was a boy, Misaki Saki immediately slumped onto the table.

"I don't even know what number you are; maybe it won't be your turn!"

Haruka Yuzan said with a laugh.

It was a statement meant for Misaki Saki, but also for the other beautiful girls listening.

"So, Your Majesty, what command will you issue?"

Arisugawa Hoshina asked softly.

Truth be told, she was somewhat nervous—if Haruka Yuzan gave an instruction that required washing the sheets the next day, would they have to do it?

Only two people were concerned about this, Arisugawa Hoshina and Reiko Onodera.

Misaki Saki remained carefree, sure to follow any instruction from Haruka Yuzan to the letter!

As for Chiba-san?

What a joke, that chilly person standing there didn't seem like someone who would readily follow orders!

"I'm going to issue the command now!"

Everyone looked his way.

Haruka Yuzan thought for a moment before deciding it would be better not to target anyone too specifically with the first command.

So, he cleared his throat and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Then, number eight and number six hug for a minute!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd let out a sigh of relief.

They were genuinely afraid of what extreme demands Haruka might make.

Although... most of the people here have already been involved with boys.

But being involved doesn't mean they can do things in front of everyone!!

Just a hug, though, that could be acceptable....

"Number eight and number six, huh?"

Reiko Onodera murmured softly before flipping her playing card for everyone to see:

Spades two.

Not the madam.

Haruka Yuzan let out a silent sigh internally; it would have been quite a sight if mother and daughter were made to hug.

In the end, everyone flipped their cards one by one.

Misaki Saki—Diamonds four

Chiba Shimizu—Diamonds six

Mariko Akiyama—Hearts seven

Arisugawa Hoshina—Hearts five

........

........

Only two people had not revealed their cards, Haruka Yuzan was the King, and the other person.....

Everyone's gaze involuntarily shifted to Miss Otome, who had been clinging to the boy's arm all along.

Only one number card was left, Spades eight...

At that moment, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but inhale sharply.

His own careless mouth!

Just by blurting out two random numbers, did he rope in these two ladies?

Chiba Shimizu was number six, and Otome Yumeko was number eight...

The two ladies, who had been at a silent war for months, were now going to hug each other due to a game?

It was, it was....

Well, actually, he felt a bit excited about it.

Chiba Shimizu remained expressionless, which seemed to signify that 'honor the bet' was a concept in the proud Chiba-san's life.

Now to see....

"Um... Yumeko."

Since Haruka Yuzan was the King, only he could stand up to speak now.

"It's fine, it's just a hug!"

Otome Yumeko said with a grin, though her delicate face exuded a deep chill.

It was as if she could backstab someone at any moment!!!

"I'll definitely carry out any command you issue, Haruka, since you're the King!"

Indeed, with Haruka Yuzan present, the miss would listen to him, whatever he did.

"Ahem, so... should we start now?"

"I'll time it!!!"

Misaki Saki raised her arm, clamoring.

If anyone knew what was going on with these beautiful girls, it was her.

People had a nickname for her—[Villa's Social Butterfly].

Haruka Yuzan shot her a look, asking her to behave.

By then, Otome Yumeko had also left his side and walked over to Chiba Shimizu, looking down at her from a higher position.

"Hmph!"

There was clear disdain visible at the corner of her mouth.

You think you can compete with me for a man?!

A Queen's disdain!

Yet Chiba Shimizu was unaffected, straightening her skirt before standing up.

The two madams were about the same height, face to face, breast to breast, waist to waist...

But because the strengths of the two beauties were so formidable, if they hugged tightly, the plentiful space would be squeezed to almost nothing.

This was a war between the Queens!

Haruka Yuzan dubbed it: The 4Q Battle!!

Almost simultaneously, both madams' faces flushed red.
