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

Reiko Onodera beside him couldn't help but be curious. Since just now, Hoshina walking in front seemed a bit strange,

Hmm? What's going on?

Subconsciously following the Spice Girl's gaze, she saw in between herself and Haruka, a large hand and a small one sweetly clasped together, fingers interlocked like a pair of young lovers.

In an instant, madam's cheeks flushed with a searing, bashful red, as if plumes of white steam were rising from her head, making her seem like a steam maiden. Then, she quickly struggled to free herself from the boy's large hand.

They had just gotten off the train, and their hands had been continuously holding each other's, not even realizing there was something amiss until they reached the apartment building.

It was as if they were used to it, no wonder Hoshina had that look just now, so embarrassingly mortifying!

Without that soft little hand, Haruka Yuzan also quickly understood everything. The boy was fine, not suffering from the shyness of madam. This little thing, what was it worth, after all?

Seeming to notice her own abrupt gaze just now, Arisugawa Hoshina also embarrassedly let out a laugh,

"Oh, Sister Reiko, how did you get here?"

"Ah? We... we came by train....."

Reiko Onodera murmured softly, the blush on her face still lingering, making madam's skin appear even more dewy and fair.

"Oh, is that so....."

"Let's take a cab back later, carrying luggage on the train is inconvenient." Haruka Yuzan also followed up from behind.

"Ah? But cabs are expensive..."

"It's fine....."

Upon reaching the second floor, there appeared to be three households, with two of the other doors tightly shut, only the one at the very end was open.

The three of them walked over, and Arisugawa Hoshina said nonchalantly,

"Don't be shy, just come in."

Saying so, the Kuro-Pi Spicy Girl took off her shoes in the entryway and walked in.

The room wasn't large but was tidied up nicely, with two big suitcases standing in the corner. Originally not having much furniture, it looked even emptier after the Spice Girl's cleaning.....

"Hoshina, is there anything else you need help with?" Looking at the clean and tidy room, Reiko Onodera asked curiously.

"No, it's okay. You guys just wait for a bit. I'll wipe the floor down, and then it's all good."

As she spoke, Arisugawa Hoshina crouched down to pick up the cloth from the floor and began to wipe.

Not minding Haruka, the Spice Girl herself knelt down on the floor, her plump bottom daringly exposed, offering up a lovely vista once more. The Kuro-Pi Spicy Girl kept talking,

"I just didn't expect you guys to come so early. I thought I'd clean up and then wait for you at the door with my luggage."

She was a delinquent girl with no interest in studies, yet from the beginning, she was very polite, and this contrasting inconsistency felt quite strange...

But Haruka Yuzan knew that the polite gestures and words were not meant for him, but for madam by his side.

The kind and gentle beautiful woman even made the Spice Girl reluctant to hurt her. Sure enough, upon hearing Arisugawa Hoshina's story, Reiko Onodera consciously picked up the cloth from the basin on the floor and started wiping with her.

When Arisugawa Hoshina saw the gracious lady beside her join in, she was taken aback, then hastily waved her hands in refusal,

"No need, Sister Reiko, I can do it by myself...."

"Let's do it together, it'll be faster...." Against the Kuro-Pi Spicy Girl's refusal, Reiko Onodera just responded with a warm smile.

Such a touching scene, indeed..... And it was for this reason that the Spice Girl had extra respect for madam. Perhaps, that was... the magic of Reiko Onodera, not just influencing Hoshina, but Chiba, Misaki, all continuously being affected.....

Haruka Yuzan didn't step forward to help; the apartment was quite small to begin with. By the time they arrived, Arisugawa Hoshina had already cleaned up half of it,

Now, with Reiko Onodera joining in, the two of them were just the right number. Any more and it would have been too crowded, so Haruka Yuzan just stood at the doorway, quietly watching the kneeling Spice Girl and the beautiful lady.

Unfortunately, not at him. Now seeing their faces, but, both wearing skirts, this view was exceptionally beautiful...

About three or four minutes later, the room had been cleaned. Haruka Yuzan stood at the doorway, with the girl's two large suitcases beside him.

Not having to do the cleaning was one thing, but as a Tokyo hunk, he couldn't back down from something like moving luggage…

In the end, Arisugawa Hoshina took one last look at the room, without any sentimental attachment, and closed the door. The landlord lived on the first floor, so she could just hand over the keys on her way down.

At the entrance of the apartment building, Haruka Yuzan and Reiko Onodera waited quietly with luggage in tow for Arisugawa Hoshina to complete the handover with the landlord...

"Sister Reiko, just now, Hoshina seemed to have seen the two of us holding hands."

Out of boredom, Haruka Yuzan looked at the madam with a mischievous smile.

"Ah?" Indeed, when Reiko Onodera heard the teasing from the young man, her fair face instantly turned red, and her gaze towards Haruka became somewhat flustered,

"What should we do then, Haruka..."

The madam was naturally a bit airheaded; without him by her side, what would she do... She'd probably get horribly cheated...

Haruka Yuzan shook his head. He was originally planning to scare the lovely lady a bit more, but when their gazes met those aggrieved and soft eyes, he felt somewhat reluctant to speak,

"It's okay, so what if she knows? It was bound to happen sooner or later. Do you plan to keep our relationship hidden forever?"

"Ah? Haruka...you...I..."

The young man spoke very casually, while Reiko Onodera stammered, not knowing what to say, visibly losing her composure.

Seeing this made Haruka Yuzan's heart swell with even more affection...

Just then, the cursing Kuro-Pi Spicy Girl came out from inside. Clearly, the handover with the landlord had not been a pleasant one.

It seemed to be the first time seeing the rebellious girl curse, and Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but look over out of curiosity.

Arisugawa Hoshina's delicate face was unmasked with anger, her red lips moving in a tirade of "bastards, jerks..." pouring out in quick succession.

Hmm... familiar indeed, this is the delinquent girl he remembered! True enough, the gentleness and politeness were just for Reiko Onodera's sake.

"What happened, Hoshina?"

Reiko Onodera, too, was too concerned to be lost in thought anymore, stepping forward to ask.

Turns out, during the handover, the landlord had found a bunch of issues and tried to deduct half of the Spice Girl's security deposit.

If it wasn't for Arisugawa Hoshina's tough demeanor, she might have even deducted the whole deposit.

"How could they do this? Let's go talk to them..." Hearing this, Reiko Onodera immediately wanted to go with the small madam to check the situation.

Even Haruka Yuzan was preparing to inquire about the details...

"Forget it, Sister Reiko, the wood table did have some issues, but that's not my fault, it was crappy to begin with! I told her before, if it weren't for me propping it up with books, it would have been unusable! These things, you can't explain clearly! And it ends up being such a hassle, but I've already given her a piece of my mind, you don't know how dark her face turned, haha!"

The Spice Girl was nonchalant, waving her hand as if recalling the landlord's dumbfounded expression had significantly improved her mood.

The wood table did break while she was using it; that was a fact. And since she was about to move into a much better place, there was no need to bother herself or Reiko Onodera with this...

"Then... okay then."

Seeing that the Spice Girl said so, Reiko Onodera didn't feel it was right to say much more...
