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

"Sis, I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow."

Upon seeing this message, Haruka Yuzan suddenly remembered that it seemed someone was coming to view the room for rent tomorrow.

"Hmm, what time are you arriving tomorrow? Do you need me to come pick you up?"

After all, having interacted for a year online, it was only polite to offer.

Poor girl's just come of age, coming to Tokyo alone—hope she doesn't get lost.

"I'll arrive tomorrow afternoon! Let's get in touch then, I'm going to shred some scumbag!"

Tomorrow afternoon? That coincides with the new prospective tenant coming to view the room...

However, what concerned Haruka Yuzan most was the second half of the sentence,

"Scumbag? What scumbag, could it be?"

If that were true, then Haruka would have to consider meeting Misaki Saki—she's just a young girl; surely she shouldn't get scammed.

"What are you thinking?! Is your high school brain filled with junk?" Misaki Saki shot back directly.

"Awooo, but how dare you say my head is full of junk! Someone whose game ID and LINE ID are both..." Haruka Yuzan wasn't about to back down either.

"Hmph! I'm really going to shred that scumbag this time! I have to run around all afternoon for this!" Misaki Saki's messages were coming in one after another like she was sharing hot gossip with her bestie.

"It's about a rental house listing, which is all bad reviews on the SUUMO rental website!"

"All bad reviews, huh? Why would there be bad reviews on a rental website? Are they from people who rented it afterward?" Haruka Yuzan echoed, but then suddenly realized she might not be one to talk.

In the past, people came to view the apartment, but in the end, those who failed the 'system' test were eliminated. In such cases, it was Haruka Yuzan who shamelessly made excuses to hike the rent at the last minute or simply refuse to rent.

Over time, even though the ad had only been up for a month, it had already amassed a flood of bad reviews, but luckily, Haruka Yuzan had a knack for mass-deletion.

It had been a while since she last logged into her account, so she wasn't sure if there were any new bad reviews.

"Not just that, I read something about false information." Misaki Saki, "But I checked, and it's indeed sketchy. I'll understand more after I go there tomorrow afternoon. If it's true, I'll have him feature as the sleazy protagonist in my manga!"

"False information, is it about the rent?" Haruka Yuzan felt something was slightly amiss.

"Yes, it's not just the rent. What I find most outrageous is that the landlord claims their cat can do backflips and dislikes men—only accepting female tenants! I have a feeling it might be some creepy old man, luring naive girls to his place, and then, hehehe... acting as his own apartment manager???"

Misaki Saki seemed to be excited, her messages kept refreshing,

"He might provide some fresh inspiration and material for this great artist, that's probably the only contribution he can make!"

Seeing this, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but laugh,

The cat that can do backflips? What an absurd excuse; this rental listing is indeed unreliable, just like her own…

She turned her head to look at the fat cat lying beside her,

"Hey, Roast Meat, why can't you do a backfli..."

As she spoke, she felt something was off.

All bad reviews, a cat that can do backflips, tomorrow afternoon, only female tenants...

Wait a second! That couldn't possibly be her place, could it...

Could the world really be this coincidental? Had the people in her class been right, and she was actually the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel??

"How ridiculous, right? After shredding that scumbag, I still have to find a new place to rent, so as for when we'll meet, let's wait and see...[Helpless]"

Misaki Saki kept on sending messages, eventually realizing that Haruka Yuzan had seen them all but hadn't replied.

"Hey, why are you reading without replying? [Angry!]"

"Hmm... Misaki, that guy didn't list the rent as a thousand yen on the job post, did he..."

"Yeah, that's right. How did you know? Could it be that you saw that message?"

Misaki Saki continued to talk,

"But I called him this afternoon, and his voice was quite pleasant, he seemed young, and a bit familiar. It must be an illusion; how could I know such a person!"

Haruka Yuzan, however, was in no mood to check....

"Meow..." Roast Meat lifted its pudgy head, curiously looking at the boy.

"Hey, do you think that thug could do something dangerous to me?"

"Then do you want to not go?" Haruka Yuzan tentatively said.

"No way, I have to be fully prepared for tomorrow, for the subject matter! For inspiration!!" Misaki Saki seemed to have made up her mind to head into battle! "I have to remember what that person looks like, and then draw him into my work!"

"Well... uh... I hope you can successfully tear off the scumbag tomorrow..."

Now, Haruka Yuzan didn't know what to do, just had to play it by ear?

No wonder the voice felt so familiar this afternoon; now it was confirmed, Misaki Saki was the tenant coming to view the house tomorrow!

The two had only connected a couple of times in the game,

It would be difficult to identify someone based on voice alone unless it was someone particularly familiar, especially since neither of them had thought about the other in that way.

Moreover, the main thing was, they were just game friends...

So, he hadn't recognized her, and she hadn't recognized him.

At this moment, noises from the second floor interrupted Haruka Yuzan's thoughts.

Both a man and a cat looked up to see Mrs. Onodera standing at the bedroom door in a new nightgown, appearing sheepish.

With summer approaching, the nightclothes Haruka Yuzan had picked for Reiko Onodera were a set of white lace gowns.

The length of the gown was midi style, reaching just to madam's knees, with only two thin straps supporting it over her milky shoulders, a slight raise of the arms, a little movement, and her smooth skin was exposed.

Feeling a bit embarrassed under Haruka's gaze, Reiko Onodera covered her neckline and walked down from the second floor.

"How is it, does it fit?"

With the attractive lady in front of him, Haruka Yuzan also put aside his thoughts, stood up, and said with a smile.

Reiko Onodera blushed, lowering her head,

"Yes, it fits quite well..."

When she looked up, the tall boy had already approached and embraced her.

Mrs. Onodera was in a good mood today, forgetting about the incident at noon; who says it can only happen once a day?

The mature and sexy madam had unlocked a new outfit, naturally, Haruka Yuzan had to take a good look...

........

At night, Haruka Yuzan lay in the big bed, deep in thought,

Feeling like this can't go on much longer, he had to think of a way to unlock the next step.
