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

Swinging her two little short legs, her juicy red lips became even redder from the watermelon juice, a child holding a slice of watermelon in each hand, shaking her head from side to side adorably.

"Yeah, Mr. Haruka mentioned it before, after the coffee shop renovation is complete, I'll go work there."

Arisugawa Hoshina, also holding a piece of watermelon, sat munching away and lit up at the thought of soon being able to switch to a job with higher income; the entire mood of Spice Girl brightened along with her.

"From now on, we'll all be comrades in arms!" Misaki Saki swung her large slice of watermelon and happily declared,

"We must help and support each other, and work hard together!"

"We definitely will."

Before Haruka had the chance to respond, Reiko Onodera already had a warm smile on her face, in Mrs. Onodera's eyes, these close-knit family moments were the most heartwarming.

"Hoshina, do you have any particular position you want to do?"

At this moment, Chiba Shimizu suddenly asked, taking a particular interest in the coffee shop's positions.

Faced with the cool beauty's inquiry, Arisugawa Hoshina blinked in surprise, momentarily halting her watermelon-eating actions, clearly not anticipating this turn of events, considering her limited interactions with the young mistress since moving into the mansion.

She had not expected to be approached for her opinion today.

"If you have any requests, feel free to speak up." Chiba Shimizu added.

The cool sound of her voice brought Arisugawa Hoshina back to her senses. Seeing everyone's attention focused on her, she quickly said,

"Ah? Me? I can do anything, haha."

In truth, if she had to mention a special skill, it would be quite difficult; she had thought about it before—even with the coffee shop starting up, she would likely end up being just a waitress...

"Well, in that case, let's discuss the specific positions just before the official opening." Chiba Shimizu nodded and quietly responded.

Chiba had no objection to Haruka wanting to hire Spice Girl for the shop. Even though they had limited interactions over these days, the young mistress could sense that Spice Girl wasn't quite like her outward appearance...

Though she couldn't cook, she would still routinely help with tidying up the villa, and except for occasionally cursing, she was mostly well-behaved.

Even going to and returning from work, she always moved together with Onodera.

"Okay." Arisugawa Hoshina nodded. She had learned before that although Haruka Yuzan was starting the coffee shop, most of the affairs were managed by the delicate girl before her.

Essentially, Haruka Yuzan belonged to the type who contributed funds and rested, while Chiba Shimizu was a competent professional manager.

"Hehe, then Hoshina, come work with me! I guarantee, I'll treat you well!!"

Suddenly, Misaki Saki spoke up from the side, her youthful and joyful voice filling the courtyard, lifting the spirits of those around her.

The little one's mouth was covered in watermelon juice, looking comically earnest while raising her little hands.

"Ah?"

Such enthusiasm overwhelmed Arisugawa Hoshina, and in the meantime, Mrs. Onodera very supportively wiped the child's mouth with a napkin, saying with a smile,

"Our Misaki is very impressive, she's a great painter."

Mrs. Onodera's actions were gentle, her motherly grace casting a sacred light into the hearts of everyone present, not just on Misaki Saki but also on Chiba Shimizu and Arisugawa Hoshina.

Even Spice Girl seemed to show a bit of envy towards the much-loved little one.

To think... her own family... would only exploit her...

"Hehe! Of course! I'm gonna become an artist just like a great teacher when I grow up!!"

Relishing in Mrs. Onodera's indulgent praise, little Misaki Saki became even more cocksure, tilting her little head back proudly, obediently letting Mrs. Onodera wipe her mouth.

Seeing this warm scene, Haruka Yuzan could not help but joke,

"Oh, come on, follow you and starve? Having a meal without knowing when the next will come."

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"

As she was being wiped by Mrs. Onodera, Misaki Saki could only mumble in protest, unable to articulate a clear response.

"Haruka Yuzan! I'll take you on!"

After finally wiping it clean, Misaki Saki once again raised her little paws and lunged at the boy.

The Roast Meat, which had been lying down sunbathing all along, was also affected, meowing incessantly.

For a while, the little courtyard was filled with an atmosphere of joyful laughter.

It was June 15, an ordinary Saturday, a serene afternoon just like everyday life, with a group of girls from across the Island Country, and their hearts that also needed replenishing.

[Tenant: 004]

[Name: Chiba Shimizu]

[Tenant Wish List:]

[1. Observe Haruka Yuzan and take notes, uncover potential, and learn the reasons to convince oneself.]

[2. Hope to discover the secret between Otome Mizuko and Haruka Yuzan through observation.]

[3. Hope the coffee shop work can proceed normally.]

[Congratulations landlord, for letting Chiba Shimizu uncover your fairly exquisite archery skills, achieving a reward: a random temporary skill card.]

(PS: Skill Proficiency is judged according to Chiba Shimizu's subjective impression. The more the landlord shows off, the fresher Chiba Shimizu feels, the chance for a second reward increases.)

.....

After enjoying a brief and beautiful time,

everyone started cleaning up and went off to do their own things.

Mainly because the little girl Misaki Saki insisted on dragging Arisugawa Hoshina to be her model, and it was the kind that's paid.

This made the already shy Spice Girl even more at a loss for words, and it seemed... she was even proactively cooperative?

"Misaki, just tell me what pose I should take later, don't be shy!"

Arisugawa Hoshina pulled on Misaki Saki's little hand with a beaming smile, her delicate and pretty face glowing with happiness. After hearing she would get paid, their closeness seemed like that of long-lost sisters.

"Thanks for your trouble! Little Hoshina-san!"

And then Misaki Saki chuckled, wrapped her arm around the Spice Girl's slender waist, and comfortably laid her head on those surging big ones, looking very much like a lady ruffian!

"Meow!"

Just like that, the two of them and the cat happily went upstairs.

Chiba Shimizu glanced at the time; for a young lady who had a precise grasp on each day, it was now time to read and study.

As such, only Haruka Yuzan and Reiko Onodera were left on the first floor of the villa.

The ever-busy Mrs. Onodera always looked for a little something to do. Having just tidied up the balcony, she now took out a cloth and, half-kneeling, began to wipe the floor.

Her jet-black hair tied in a herringbone braid naturally fell down, and the little vest and black shorts she wore seemed to be pressed during the action. Read new adventures at empire

Patches of snow-white skin were exposed to the air, and the sweat on her forehead made the strands of hair even more enchanting, adding a seductive and mature charm to Mrs. Onodera.

Even the air seemed to become a bit humid.

When Mrs. Onodera was wiping in Haruka's direction, he knew he had to do something.

Little Haruka: When it comes to practising between the two of us brothers, Mrs. Onodera doesn't care about the consequences!

Haruka Yuzan: Is it really okay to do this?

Before the boy could continue thinking, suddenly a gentle and appealing voice reached his ears,

"Haruka, could you please lift your foot for a moment?"

Looking down, Mrs. Onodera's delicate body was already up close.

And right beside the boy's legs.
