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

"I just think there are some things I need to do myself, and I can't bother Sister Reiko with everything."

The cool voice interrupted the boy's gaze, and Chiba Shimizu said indifferently, her expression carrying a faint hint of pride.

"Is that so?" Haruka Yuzan stretched lazily, returning his gaze to the girl,

Despite wearing the same school uniform, it had an indescribable flair on the young lady,

Her lofty presence seemed to mark a 'do not disturb' area around her, pure and aloof from the rest.

The boy belonged to the sort that needed to be 'purified' by the young lady, so he could admire her beauty from up close,

Fair cheeks, bright eyes, and that... cute expression…

"Really, is that so?"

"That's all."

"Then... did you dream about me again last night, class rep?"

Haruka Yuzan asked nonchalantly,

Upon hearing this, Chiba Shimizu visibly paused, her eyes rippling like autumnal waters, as if trying to dodge the question.

Without speaking, her clear eyes gave away the answer.

She had only changed the sheets the day before yesterday…

What kind of dream would make her wash the sheets?

After a full day of classes,

Today, Otome Mizuko was still absent, an absence the students and teachers seemed all too accustomed to.

Conversely, whenever Miss Otome did show up, she would cause a sensation on campus.

With the young lady absent, the girls who had been eyeing Haruka Yuzan began to stir with thoughts,

"Mr. Haruka, may I invite you to have lunch together?"

During lunch break, Mikoto Tamamo held her lunchbox, her head lowered, speaking with a coy twist,

Almost burying her small head in her chest covered by a shirt, she appeared to be a very shy girl...

Yet, her eyes that occasionally drifted to the boy flickered with a dash of hope.

After many chapters of lying low, was Student Tamamo finally making her move?

Because today his best friend, Heisuke Yonchu, had unabashedly left him to have lunch with Mishima Student.

With Otome Mizuko also absent, the timing seemed perfect…

Haruka Yuzan felt a bit troubled. He wasn't particularly averse; Mikoto Tamamo might not compare to Chiba and Otome, but she was indeed quite attractive.

Youth + JK (high school girl) + 'big European bag' = promising asset + boys' harvester. Experience more on empire

But, he had his own considerations; for any girl not entering his villa, he could only be physically involved, never emotionally.

In the end, it might be the green tea, not him, that gets hurt...

"Please, can we..." Mikoto Tamamo said with a pitiful look, her head still lowered.

Just as Haruka Yuzan was feeling torn, Chiba Shimizu, who had been sitting all along, suddenly spoke,

"Classmate Haruka, I need to talk to you about something later, so you'll have to have lunch with me today."

There were few people left in the class at that moment, but the young lady's cool voice was like thunder, leaving everyone a bit stunned.

Especially the boys who hadn't left the classroom,

"What, Haruka is actually going to have lunch with the class rep?! How is that possible!!"

"Damn, I'm so jealous of Haruka! Having Otome Student is one thing, but to be invited by both Tamamo Student and the class rep for lunch... He's handsome, studies well, excels in sports. Can he really do whatever he wants??"

"What are you saying!"

"Right, the class rep just has some work to discuss. Damn, I'm so envious too!"

"No, what I mean is, Tamamo Student is nice and all, but how can she be compared to the class rep?!"

"Sss, that's a good point."

Even though it was just a few of them, they still had a heated argument. However, Mikoto Tamamo's face was becoming increasingly hard to look at.

She had already lost a bet to her friend and didn't want to concede defeat, thinking how could a beauty like herself ever be rejected by a man?

So, after being good for some time, just when she thought an opportunity had arisen, Chiba Shimizu jumped out again.

"What's the matter that it needs to take up our lunch break?"

"Tamamo Student, you don't need to know about this," said Chiba Shimizu as she slowly stood up, her eyes cold with a hint of desolation.

A face-off? Two girls competing for one boy??? Shura Field?

No!

There was not a hint of turmoil in Miss Chiba's eyes as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and left,

"Classmate Haruka, I'll wait for you outside."

Proud, cold, with no intention of taking this matter to heart.

"Mr. Haruka..."

Totally flatfooted by her aura, Mikoto Tamamo could only shift her focus back to the languid boy in front of her.

"Well, Tamamo Student, you saw that. The class rep needs me for something, so we'll have to talk about lunch some other day,"

After saying that, Haruka Yuzan grabbed his box lunch and chased after her,

"Class rep, wait for me."

To be honest, he was a little surprised too; he didn't expect Chiba Shimizu to step in at the end,

Who's more important, the perfect girl or a little green tea? He could tell the difference...

Mikoto Tamamo watched them walk away, stomping her foot on the ground with force.

At that moment,

A boy from the class came over, his tone a mix of nervousness and shyness,

"Um... Tamamo Student, may I have lunch with you?"

Without much thought, Mikoto Tamamo glanced at the boy, rifling through her memory of him: geek, marginal figure, likes to play games, average…

After processing the information, the girl who was just angry displayed a bubbly smile that made the geek's heart flutter,

"Sorry, Hiroshi Student, I just remembered I have something to do at noon as well."
