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

"I.... go.... accompany you?"

Looking at the delicate girl in front of him, Haruka Yuzan pointed to himself, then to her, his expression filled with uncertainty.

"Yes, on Sunday, you promised me," Chiba Shimizu nodded.

"To do what?"

As for his own destiny, he still wanted to keep it in his hands; being caught by the young lady with an EX curry stick was indeed quite annoying.

"You'll find out when the time comes, but it definitely won't be a maid café."

"Hey, hey, hey, let me stress again, going to a maid café was Heisuke's idea, it has nothing to do with me."

Carrying his schoolbag, Haruka Yuzan caught up with the girl walking ahead and earnestly said,

"Chiba-san, you're being too one-sided! How could you think of me like that!"

"Really? But it seemed to me that you were quite excited."

Chiba Shimizu pursed her rosy lips and glanced at the boy, mercilessly piercing through his pretense,

"Even if I wanted to go, it would be with a learning attitude! With the café soon to open, we need to learn from our seniors! Chiba-san!"

Looking at the girl's cute expression beside him, Haruka Yuzan said with a smile, "To be able to open a shop in Akihabara, it must have its own specialty to survive long-term."

"Hmm...."

Seemingly moved by the boy's words, Chiba Shimizu actually lowered her head to think, her clear eyes filled with serious contemplation,

"Have you considered this method before, learning from observing other shops' operations to achieve rapid progress?"

As for why she hadn't implemented it or brought it up... Mid-sentence, the girl suddenly turned her head to look at the boy beside her,

"You...."

"Leave this matter to me?"

"Hmm-hmm?"

"Hmm.... Indeed, such a tough task could only be carried by me."

"Yes, Classmate Haruka is still the same as before."

"The same what?"

"Thick-skinned."

The gentle sunlight filtered through the window, casting long shadows of the boy and girl, and the hallway was quiet. In this romantic campus, they were doing some romantic things.

"So, I'm going undercover to a maid café in my free time?"

"Go to an ordinary café."

"But, Chiba-san, ordinary cafés are clearly not as popular as maid ones!"

It seemed he was still trying to argue for his right to a business trip on public expense, Haruka Yuzan eagerly explained the difference between the two.

"You, are you planning to open a maid café?"

At that moment, Chiba Shimizu, walking beside him, suddenly stopped, looked up, and scrutinized the person in front of her with her clear eyes.

"I have no such plans," Haruka Yuzan shook his head.

Regarding the specific direction of the café, it seemed that the group hadn't really discussed such matters, mainly because... since Sister Reiko would manage it, Haruka naturally wouldn't suggest opening a maid café.

Madam or Spice Girl, or even Misaki and Chiba, who occasionally helped out there, wearing maid outfits was best reserved for viewing in the villa.

"If you have no intention, then why go to a maid café?"

Seemingly seeing Haruka's flustered expression, Chiba Shimizu revealed a victorious smile, leaving a distinct scent in her wake as she turned and walked away.

???

For a moment, Haruka Yuzan didn't catch on. The girl's mischievous demeanor just now was indeed hard not to find charming!

However, when he again saw that delicate figure walking towards the distance, he couldn't help but internally scoff,

Damn it, the young lady! Depriving me of the right to see maid-dressed girls, but when I go out on my own, won't the sky be the limit?

A Tokyo hunk definitely has to visit a maid café!!!

Having made up his mind, Haruka Yuzan hastened his steps and said with a smile,

"Chiba, I caught you smiling just now." No matter what mischief was planned, it's always good to numb the other person's senses first.

"No, you're mistaken," she replied.

"How could I be? I even took a picture just now."

"Classmate Haruka, you're not going to say that your eyes are like a camera, etching my beauty into your mind, are you?"

"Ah? How did you know? Darn it, does Chiba have the power to read minds today?"

"Boring," she said.

After some thought, the young lady added,

"Disgusting!"

.....

Exiting the school gates,

After greeting the two discipline committee members, Haruka Yuzan, who habitually started to head to the right, suddenly realized the young lady hadn't followed.

Lost?

Turning around,

Beneath the cherry blossom tree, the girl in her school uniform stood emotionless, watching him, as the breeze lifted her skirt, revealing a trace of fair thigh – youth, beauty, the essence of summer.

Now, the two stood opposite each other at the school gate, with the short distance between them like a chasm in their emotions that couldn't be crossed.

Chiba Shimizu didn't speak, just brushed a strand of hair from her face, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Haruka Yuzan quickly followed,

"Where are we going?"

"A field observation," Chiba Shimizu replied indifferently.

"Observation?" Haruka Yuzan was confused, then as if struck by a thought,

"Hey, you're not suggesting we go to the café now, are you?"

"Yes, that's right," she nodded, not denying it.

"Wait, wasn't this mission supposed to fall on me alone?" Haruka Yuzan was astonished, following the young lady to the café? Not to mention being able to see maids, even if there were maids, then... who should he pay attention to at that time? Chiba-san or the coy little maids!
