"No!"
Almost instantly, Oto Yuko went cold, her previously delighted expression turning icy as she glanced at the diminutive person beside her, her brows knitting together in indescribable indifference.
"I can do it myself here, there's no need for anyone else's help."
Though she spoke politely, there was a chill in her tone that made one feel repelled from miles away, sending shivers down the spine.
Within the villa, she could concede on other matters, but anything to do with Haruka had to be exclusively hers!!
No one else was acceptable!! That was Miss Oto's bottom line!
"Misaki, since there's soone who wants to do more, let her,"
At this mont, Chiba Shimizu, who had been leisurely reading on the couch, spoke up unhurriedly, seemingly unaffected by this sudden turn of events.
It even amazed Arisugawa Hoshina, a presence easily overlooked, how difficult this new tenant, Haruka's fiancée, appeared to be...
She could speak amicably on the surface, but in just a few hours there had been two awkward monts already. It felt as though there was a rule or a treaty constraining the young lady; otherwise, Hoshina believed Yuko would prefer not to utter a single unnecessary word.
Moreover, Shimizu's relationship with Oto Yuko didn't seem as terrible as Misaki had described... It seed like both parties understood each other quite well...
If one were to form an alliance, perhaps Shimizu wouldn't be the first choice, rather, little Misaki seed a more fitting candidate...
"Well, alright then ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh, if you need my help, rember to tell , okay!"
Misaki Saki acted as if she were deeply disappointed, as though, for not having been able to help, she had beco completely downcast.
If Yuzan Haruka were here, he would have rcilessly pierced through the little guy's pretense. Disappointnt? The slothful little person was probably glad to have less work to do.
After all, how much laundry could that tiny figure possibly dry?
And could you bear to watch an undeveloped little dwarf stretch on tiptoe struggling to hang the clothes?
Of course, one could lower the clothes rack, but while that might make things easier for the little one, it would also be inconvenient for oneself... a loss outweighing the gain.
So, all of this was within the calculations of the great Misaki!! This frail and pitiable act was a performance for Oto to see!
Ahahaha!!
Though outwardly disheartened, deep inside she was already celebrating her shrewd intelligence! \\(^o^)/~
"Yeah, I'll let you know if there's anything."
Miss Oto now focused her full attention on the shirt in front of her, completely ignoring the little one beside her. After dismissing the matter nonchalantly, the young lady also slowly closed her eyes, her nose twitching as if sensing sothing.
Even though there was only the scent of detergent, the thought of it being Haruka's worn clothes brought an involuntary blush to her fair cheeks.
"It's this feeling, this scent... Haruka, it's like I can sense Haruka..."
"Hm? What scent?"
Misaki Saki, who had planned to leave, also took a sniff, but unlike the young lady, her focus wasn't on the garnt but on the lady herself.
Before the little one's eyes, Oto Yuko was holding the half-dry white shirt, eyes tightly shut, face flushed with excitent, her entire being quivering with exhilaration!!
The almost morbid display made Misaki Saki unconsciously take a step back.
Two words involuntarily appeared in her mind: Yandere!!!
Everyone thinks a yandere is charming, but when one truly appears close by, Saki felt a subconscious fear. Oh no, if Yuko finds out about her relationship with Haruka, wouldn't she turn vengeful?
No, that's wrong; it's Haruka she would lash out at, right? If Saki rembered correctly, in the finale of "School Days," except for Brother Cheng, no one else faced danger.
Well... at least there shouldn't be a decapitation...
But after a brief mont of fear, Misaki Saki's eyes glead with excitent!! The little one, too, was agitated!!
This was a yandere!! An exceedingly rare specin, and even rarer for one so beautiful and of ladylike stature!!
To have such hardcore material right beside her and not use it for creation would be a waste fit for scolding!! Waste is shaful!!
Could it be that fate itself wanted to leave a thick splash of legend in the manga world?!
That people would respectfully address as "Misaki the great teacher!"
The beautiful widow forced to work away from ho due to family hardships, the estranged girl who ran away from ho due to familial conflicts, the simple Spice Girl who dropped out of school early because of her parents, and then there's , the dual-natured Little She-Devil who can be both cute and sharp!!
A perfect source of inspiration indeed!!
For a pure love war god, it's like having all the elents that could explode with potential!!!
"What are those two doing?"
As Haruka Yuzan watched the two people indulging themselves on the balcony, Arisugawa Hoshina couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be... Misaki was also an unreliable teammate?
Or had the two of them found a common frequency in their brainwaves?
Everything that happened today felt so strange....
"Don't bother with them, just focus on doing your own thing."
Chiba Shimizu said, seeming to have adopted a detached outlook.
"Hm? Why do I feel like you're also acting oddly today, Shimizu...."
Arisugawa Hoshina tilted her head and asked with a hint of curiosity.
"You might feel that way if you read more books."
Chiba Shimizu replied, while also revealing the title of the book he'd been hiding... "Brief History of Ti."
Looking at the thick pages, Arisugawa Hoshina waved her hands dismissively, "Forget it, I'm not cut out for studying."
She hadn't read it, but just from the title, she knew it must be one of those books filled with philosophy and life's big lessons.
For the Spice Girl, life was already tough enough, why bother with listening to all the lofty words that supposedly uplift the self? It would be like having nothing better to do after a full al.
The Spice Girl's long ti grappling at the bottom of society had given her a clear perspective.
Chiba Shimizu didn't press the issue, but after a mont of silence, surprisingly took the initiative to ask, "Hoshina, what kind of person do you think Haruka is?"
"Eh? Haruka?"
Arisugawa Hoshina was taken aback as the sunlight stread through the glass, bathing the girl in a holy radiance...
The courtyard was filled with the sound of birds and fragrant flowers.
On the balcony, Oto Mizuko was leisurely hanging Haruka Yuzan's clothes, her delicate manner as if she was handling Haruka Yuzan himself, full of tenderness.
Next to her, Misaki Saki stood frozen in place, her eyes wide open, not wanting to miss any detail of the young mistress's movents, morizing everything in her little brains' mory, to incorporate it later into her own work.
The two on the sofa chatted sporadically, but the kitchen was still bustling and animated.
The lunch was very enjoyable.
Under the influence of the atmosphere setter, Misaki, everyone seed to be in a good mood, at least outwardly...
Uncertain whether Miss Oto had waited too long for this day or if she was intentionally showing off in front of Chiba Shimizu, she kept making sweet little gestures with Haruka during the al.
Chiba Shimizu showed no reaction, continuing to eat quietly, while the Spice Girl next to him seed to have a slightly smaller appetite today??
There was a pouty look directed at Haruka as the little glances beca unnaturally constrained...
Lunch ended quickly.
Oto Yuko, as usual, went to take a bath after lunch. She wanted to invite Haruka Yuzan to join her, but with so many eyes on them... he painfully declined, although unsure of what sort of image he had left, he still thought about saving so face...
And so, Miss Oto went into the bathroom alone with a towel, and as the sound of flowing water filled the space, the other ladies busied themselves with their own tasks.
Only the Spice Girl stayed where she was.....
