"Yo, Chiba-san, you're taking a break too?"
Ignoring his teasing, Chiba Shimizu nodded coldly.
"Yeah, just resting for a while. It's a bit too hot."
The girl's snow-white neck was covered in sweat, droplets tracing down her perfect curves, wetting the fabric of her shirt.
Clung tightly to her skin, it looked very tempting. Especially those youthful and alluring big buns, jiggling seductively.
"Classmate Haruka, with so many acquaintances around us, please control where you're looking."
Chiba Shimizu's voice was calm and unhurried, seemingly used to Haruka Yuzan's gaze.
"Cough cough."
Haruka Yuzan cleared his throat. Now that their relationship had improved, the proud class president hadn't reminded him about his wandering eyes for a long ti. Maybe... with so many people around today, she felt shy?
"Chiba-san, please don't slander . I just noticed your shirt is a bit dirty, and I was thinking about dusting it off for you."
With his usual righteous rhetoric, Chiba Shimizu simply rolled her eyes at him.
Looking away, Haruka Yuzan then idly opened the virtual panel to check the attributes:
[Tenant: 004]
[Na: Chiba Shimizu]
[Physical Strength: 6]
[Intelligence: 9]
[Charm: 9]
[Tenant's Wishes List:]
[1. Observe Haruka Yuzan and take notes to uncover potential, and find out the reasons to persuade oneself.]
[2. Hope to uncover the secrets between Oto Mizuko and Haruka Yuzan through observation.]
[3. Wish for the cafe work to go smoothly.]
Lately, Haruka Yuzan had also realized another issue: after the initial few tis of daily wish lists, except for special occasions, everyone's lists had turned into long-term wishes.
If he didn't spend dedicated ti and effort on them, their progression, based solely on the rhythm of life and chance, would be very slow.
However, diving deep into a wish list didn't fit his role as Tokyo's landlord.
Moreover, these wish lists weren't really any pressing matters that needed imdiate attention.
Especially with Chiba-san, whose wishes were almost all about researching himself, Haruka didn't feel any need to push things along...
"Shall we go buy so marble soda?"
Haruka Yuzan extended the invitation to the girl next to him.
"Sure, that sounds good."
Chiba Shimizu nodded in agreent.
The two walked to the nearby convenience store, one in front of the other.
Today, Chiba-san was wearing a sporty outfit.
White canvas shoes were matched with a pair of long, slender, fair legs that looked especially captivating under the sunshine. The black shorts embraced her pert backside, and her upper body was covered by a white tee, which revealed her perfect figure as the breeze blew past.
Her silver hair was tied into a ponytail, topped with a baseball cap. Just a sniff, and the youthful fragrance was so overwhelming.
"Chiba-san, you really look great..."
"If you speak that loudly, it's not exactly whispering anymore, Classmate Haruka. I can hear you, you know."
Chiba Shimizu, walking ahead, unrcifully pierced the bubble of his inward thoughts.
"Chiba-san, you've misunderstood again. Actually, I ant for you to hear that."
Haruka Yuzan quickened his pace and caught up with the girl, and seeing no acquaintances around, he took the opportunity to wrap his arm around the girl's soft waist.
It felt soft through the thin layer of clothing, the elasticity was surprising.
Because their bodies were in close contact and the weather was so hot, Chiba Shimizu felt sticky and uncomfortable, wriggling her body. However, seeing that Haruka Yuzan had no intention of letting go, she stopped resisting.
"Chiba-san, you sll so nice, cool and refreshing. It feels really comfortable."
Haruka Yuzan said playfully, with a chuckle.
"Gross."
Chiba Shimizu didn't hesitate in her evaluation.
The way the two talked gave off the impression of an uneducated, blonde troublemaker and a well-behaved, sensible young lady of ans being together.
It seems that the jadeite cabbage was eventually going to be taken by soone.
It's just a pity that, in terms of appearance and academic achievent alone, Haruka Yuzan and Chiba Shimizu would be a perfect match.
Arriving at the convenience store, they bought six chilled sodas in one go, paid, bagged, and completed the whole process smoothly. However, Chiba-san chose a brand from the East, a drink called Eastern Tree Leaf.
Haruka Yuzan made no comnt on this.
After distributing the sodas among everyone, they took a short break before continuing with the coffee shop promotion work.
The twilight glow spread like gold over the vast land, draping the treetops in a brilliant veil.
As evening approached, it was ti to part ways. After agreeing on a ti for the next day, Haruka Yuzan and the others embarked on their howard journey.
"Hey, Risa-chan, why won't you co ho with us for dinner!!"
The little rascal who had been attentive all afternoon also revealed a rare expression of defeat after parting ways.
"I was so enthusiastic, why can't she feel it?"
"She might be shy; if Misaki Saki really wants to make friends with Risa, you could try asking her out privately next ti."
Reiko Onodera gently offered her suggestion from the side.
"Eh! Why didn't I think of that!! Next ti I'll ask Risa-chan out alone!! Hehehe!!"
Thanks to the madam's reminder, Misaki Saki instantly perked back up, her face beaming with joy as she wondered about sothing.
Haruka Yuzan felt moved... maybe next ti he could try asking Yaguchi Risa out alone?
Thinking about how today, as the boss, he hadn't spent much ti talking with his beloved employees, Haruka Yuzan resolved to find ti to care more about the staff mbers' well-being.
Last ti at Risa-chan's place, the check-up was only partial; the rest of the areas still needed to be thoroughly examined by him!!
"What mischief are you thinking of now?"
Chiba Shimizu suddenly remarked from next to him.
"I'm thinking of you, Chiba-san," Haruka Yuzan said with a smile.
To his surprise, Chiba Shimizu's face turned red, and she bashfully retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about!!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Watching the two of them chattering and laughing, Arisugawa Hoshina squinted her eyes from the side, wondering what the little tomboy was up to.
That evening, Oto Mizuko didn't keep her promise to have dinner with Haruka as planned.
A sudden urgent matter at the company required the young lady to deal with it until late at night.
"Haruka, I'm sorry... I don't know why it turned out like this," ca the young lady's apologetic voice from the phone.
Haruka Yuzan shook his head with a smile, "It's alright, Yuko, you take care of your business first. I'll leave the door unlocked for you so you can co back later tonight."
After comforting the young lady, Haruka Yuzan finally hung up the phone, "Yuko won't be coming back for dinner today, let's eat without her."
"Yuko is amazing, managing such a big company at such a young age," Reiko Onodera uttered her sincere admiration.
Regarding the young lady's identity, Haruka Yuzan had already given everyone a simple introduction, opting not to delve into the specifics but rather broadly stating that Oto Mizuko was currently taking over the family business.
Chiba Shimizu didn't refute; despite so friction with Miss Oto, aside from Haruka Yuzan, the two were still very close friends.
Haruka Yuzan sat on a chair and called everyone to eat together.
"Let's start with dinner, Yuko probably won't be back until late... "
Ti ticked by, mont by mont.
Having eaten dinner and returned to his room, Haruka Yuzan went to the bathroom to take a shower.
But unexpectedly, while he was showering, there was a knock at the bathroom door.
"Who is it? Is sothing the matter?"
The sound of the flowing water couldn't drown out the gentle knocking, and the person on the other side didn't respond but simply opened the bathroom door.
