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

"That's the study over there, this is Misaki's room, and Chiba's is over there..."

Reiko Onodera led Arisugawa Hoshina through the rooms, introducing each one. The elegant and wise lady held the arm of the sexy, fiery Spice Girl as they walked together, a blend of kinship seeming to mix into their interaction.

However, it was apparent that as a junior, Arisugawa was still in her rebellious phase, with earrings, makeup, and her body barely covered in thin pieces of cloth, displaying perfect curves and healthy, glowing skin that was exposed.

A hot-tempered Spice Girl? She looked like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.....

"This is my room, if you need anything at night, feel free to come find me."

Reiko showed the Spice Girl around the study, guest room, and her own room but for the ones already occupied, she merely pointed out who lived where and did not take the Spice Girl inside indiscriminately.

"That's about it. Hoshina, which room would you like to stay in?"

A gentle voice sounded from beside her, and turning her head, Hoshina saw the kind lady looking at her, with the afternoon sun casting a warm glow on her through the window, and in that moment, Arisugawa Hoshina felt wrapped in a halo of motherly love.

It felt warm and comforting,

"Um, I've decided. I'll stay in that one over there."

The room was the second last along the corridor, next to Misaki Saki's. In truth, whichever bedroom it was, the interior decoration and layout had already far exceeded her expectations.

TV, wooden desk, en suite bathroom, and even a small sofa.

To live in such a place for a daily rent of one thousand yen, I'm really lucky..... In the end, I have to thank Haruka Yuzan and Sister Reiko.....

Thinking this, the image of the two holding hands that afternoon couldn't help but pop into her head..... Could there be any relationship between them?

"Sister Reiko."

"Yes?"

About to head downstairs, she noticed the little Spice Girl tugging at her, Reiko Onodera turned around, curious,

"What's the matter, Hoshina?"

"Sister Reiko, what do you think of Haruka?"

Arisugawa Hoshina glanced at the people in the living room on the first floor, then whispered her question. She didn't directly ask what the relationship was between the two people.

Whether as friends or lovers, it would be impolite to ask outright. The Spice Girl being polite? She simply didn't wish to add to this kind-hearted lady's worries.....

So, she chose this more subtle approach to questioning.

Of course, Sister Reiko, with a naturally airheaded trait, didn't catch on at all and thought Hoshina was genuinely inquiring about what kind of person the landlord was. So, according to Haruka Yuzan's words, the lady was worried about going on a long trip alone...

"Haruka is really a good person, he has given us a lot of help in our daily lives....."

With her fingers to her lips, as the lady spoke of Haruka Yuzan, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but express a sweet look, akin to boasting about one's significant other in front of others.

"Kind, honest, gentle, hardworking, upright, helpful, down-to-earth, and also very smart!"

Listing one trait after another, a nearly perfect character emerged in front of Arisugawa Hoshina, as if... in the lady's eyes, Haruka was perfect!

Seeing the lady look as sweet as if she had tasted honey, Arisugawa Hoshina's suspicions deepened even more, but...

Was Haruka Yuzan really that good? To have charmed the lady to this extent?

"There are many more good points! You'll understand once you spend more time with Haruka!"

With affirmation in her voice and response, Reiko Onodera clapped her hands together, her lovely eyes forming crescents, finally leading to one conclusion,

Yes, Haruka Yuzan was indeed perfect!!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Okay, I believe you, Sister Reiko."

Arisugawa Hoshina responded somewhat resignedly, perhaps, this was what liking someone looked like? No matter what the other person did, it was seen through a natural filter.....

Upright... um... um..... anyhow, so far, nothing about that seemed apparent, a villa, three distinctively beautiful girls, and just him, a single guy.....

But in the end, it was thanks to Haruka Yuzan that she was able to stay in such a nice room, even if she didn't know why the rent was so cheap.

As for what the lady had said before - to provide a steady home for thousands of wandering girls? That was something kind Sister Reiko might believe.

For Arisugawa Hoshina, who had long been part of the dregs of society, she didn't believe that she could meet two people who were both innocent and kind... having Sister Reiko alone was enough.....

Upon reaching the first floor,

The men and women sitting on the sofa seemed to be discussing something, a relaxed and carefree young man and a prim and pretty girl; just by sitting there, they created a beautiful picture.

"Chiba-san, about purchasing the equipment, I'll leave it to you!"

"Classmate Haruka, I removed you from the sports festival and helped you escape Tamamo Student's pestering, not for you to observe me work."

"That's unjust, Chiba-san, I'm not just mooching around as an OB!"

"OB? OBSERVER?" The lady's focus was always on the most unusual things, or maybe she just didn't take the rest of the young man's nonsense seriously.

"It's a term used in MOBA games, meaning a player who doesn't participate in the game directly but enters as an observer, useless, almost invisible....."
