Chapter 180: The Day Before and The Day After
```
"Okay, okay, okay... it's... conviction..."
The queue was endless, and the two people, one large and one small, stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the scene before them.
Really... I underestimated the power of the otaku, but come to think of it, it's quite normal,
The guy next to me, who usually doesn't leave his main gate or his second gate, got up early today to queue, so what's there not to understand?
"Haruka... what about?"
Suddenly, Misaki Saki nudged the boy with her little bottom, her winking and grimacing expression looking very comical.
"No way, don't even think about it." Haruka Yuzan decisively rejected her.
"Oh! I haven't even said what I want to do yet?" Misaki Saki pouted, crossed her arms, and looked indignant.
"You want me to queue up here while you find an excuse to go home and sleep, right? Let me think, what could the excuse be? It wouldn't be related to roast meat, would it?"
"Exactly! So..."
"So, it's a no." Saying this, Haruka Yuzan lightly delivered a karate chop to the little one's forehead, "Stand in the queue properly!"
"Ouch!" Misaki Saki stuck out her tongue in a playful show of being hurt.
Obediently standing in line behind him, Haruka Yuzan too felt a bit of a headache as he looked at the long queue, while beside him, Misaki Saki idly kicked pebbles around, amusing herself.
Such an innocently romantic little person,
Instantly drew all eyes to her, a sisterly adult who fits the otaku ideal in one's heart? Is this... heaven's favor materializing into reality?
The oversized T-shirt made the immature little body look even more fragile, and on the cute, pale face were a pair of bright, large eyes, with long eyelashes quivering slightly in the air. Her golden hair, tied into twin ponytails, was lethally charming.
At this game release event, even if Otome and Chiba were present, they could not overshadow the radiance belonging to the great Miss Misaki!
This is the devastating cuteness of the adorable little one!!!
Looking at the person beside him, Haruka Yuzan shook his head helplessly, who would have thought that this seemingly harmless little creature harbored a doujinshi artist full of trash inside?
It's just... If it weren't for the many deep understandings between the two, knowing the depths of Misaki's younger sister, even he would be deceived by such a pure appearance.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, not a single little pebble..."
The little one flicked pebbles back and forth with her shoes, while Haruka Yuzan took the opportunity to bring out the virtual panel.
He hadn't had a chance to check the attribute panel that had been unlocked after fulfilling Miss Otome's temporary wish list yesterday.
[Temporary Tenant:]
[Name: Otome Mizuko]
[Physical Strength: 7]
[Intelligence: 9]
[Charm: 9]
[Daily Rent Due: None]
[Daily Monetary Income: None]
Since she's a temporary tenant, she doesn't need to pay rent, huh? What a pity, there's no daily monetary income. Cumulatively, that could be a sizeable income.
Wait a second, for Miss Otome, couldn't she just open her mouth and get lots of money?
Thinking of this, even Haruka Yuzan laughed to himself, as a handsome Tokyo guy! How could he accept living off a woman?
Scorning such a thought, he didn't need any handouts from the lady, not at all!!!
Well, actually, Haruka Yuzan didn't really run out of money these days,
The part of the financial gap in the coffee shop was also explosively recovered from Misaki!
You know, diligently giving massages every day isn't really about creating a youthful meg... whatever, it's a stable source of income!
Plus the monthly 20% salary from Reiko Onodera and the manuscript fees from Misaki Saki's comics, he didn't feel any financial pressure now.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Haruka Yuzan continued to look down,
[Tenant's Wish List:]
[1. Otome wants to be with Mr. Haruka forever! (Hearts, hearts, hearts)]
[2. Hate Chiba for competing with me! I hope to be the only one by Haruka's side! (Hearts, hearts, hearts)]
[3. I hate what I am now! I want to become Haruka's favorite shape! (Hearts, hearts, hearts)]
Seeing these three wishes, Haruka Yuzan subconsciously swallowed.
All three were related to himself, is this... really what lies deep in Otome's heart?
It gave him a bit of a headache...
[Complete wish list one, task reward: a mysterious gift box filled with peach-pink!]
[Complete wish list two, task reward: 10 prop draws]
[Complete wish list three, task reward: one chance to draw an epic title]
Indeed, even the task rewards are so generous, huh? But this just highlights the complexity and difficulty of Otome Mizuko's wish list.
The long queue steadily advanced.
As Haruka pondered, it was their turn before he knew it.
"Boss! I'll take two!"
Misaki Saki in front cutely stretched out two fingers and gestured in the air.
To the unknowing, they would think it's a child running errands for the household!
"Got it."
Even though he'd been busy all morning, the shop owner was still enthusiastic.
"Haruka, what are you thinking about?"
Misaki Saki, holding the game cards, looked very happy, humming a little tune, and asked curiously.
"Ah? Nothing." Haruka Yuzan came back to his senses, reached out to mess up the little one's hair, shook his head, and didn't say anything.
