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

```

"Sure, if you need anything else, just send me a message."

Reiko Onodera quickly responded to the girl's message after she saw it.

She put her phone away and turned her full attention back to the shelves, chips, instant noodles, ready-made meals... all the missing types were placed neatly in their spots.

"Sister Reiko, why have you been looking at all the different types of coffee beans lately?"

Arisugawa Hoshina came over to help and glanced curiously at the small notebook in madam's pocket, hesitantly asking.

These past few days, when the convenience store had slowed down, everyone else played with their phones, but Reiko Onodera was always busy jotting something down.

Hoshina, who was quite close to Mrs. Onodera, had noticed this and accidentally saw the search history for coffee beans on madam's phone yesterday.

---About selecting coffee bean types.

Today, taking advantage of the quiet, she casually asked, "Are you planning to switch jobs, Sister Reiko?"

Caught off guard by the question, Reiko Onodera blinked and then smiled gently,

"I'm just interested and wanted to learn more."

After stocking the shelves completely and checking them over once more, she found no mistakes and felt relieved.

Even though she had decided that she might resign in the near future, Mrs. Onodera was still committed to doing her duties well.

"Ah, that would be nice..." Arisugawa Hoshina stretched lazily, her tender waist forming an impressively perfect curve in the air.

The Spice Girl wore her casual clothes today, which were bolder compared to her schoolgirl outfit. Even the work vest couldn't hide the vast expanses of white skin that became exposed when she stretched,

"I'm still worried about what to eat tonight. Sister Reiko, do you have any recommendations?"

Reiko Onodera put a finger to her lips, pondering carefully,

"If Hoshina is alone, you could make some sushi at home, and if you don't want to cook, a bowl of pork bone soup is also a great choice outside."

Knowing the young lady's character and that she was likely too lazy to cook, madam gave her thoughtful suggestions.

"Ah... then I guess I'll have a bowl of pork bone soup after work..." Arisugawa Hoshina said nonchalantly, "Sister Reiko, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

"We're planning to have roast chicken tonight."

"Roast chicken, huh? I haven't had that in a long time, indeed, I've kind of missed that flavor..."

"Hoshina could try it out sometime as well..."

"Sister Reiko, which restaurant are you going to for the roast chicken? Do you want me to recommend one? It's not far..."

"Sure, next time I'll try that place. But today, we're doing it at home."

"Eh? Are you making roast chicken at home? I forgot you live in a villa..."

"That's right, at home."

"Hmm... that sounds wonderful. But I've been looking for a new place lately too."

"Eh? Are you moving, Hoshina?"

"Yep, that's right!"

.....

It was past the rush hour now, and there were hardly any people inside the convenience store,

The staff were idly yawning and slacking off, while Reiko Onodera and Arisugawa Hoshina, having finished their tasks, chatted softly.

The gentle sunlight shone on the two figures, one tall and one short; when the Spice Girl was with Mrs. Onodera, she was always drawn to the maternal aura that surrounded her, feeling safe and warm...

....

In the lush green courtyard,

The clear pond mirrored the cherry blossoms' shade, with birds perching on fingertips, tilting their heads curiously, looking at the big orange cat beneath the trees.

Roast Meat squatted on the ground, lifting its chubby face, gazing blankly at the cherry blossoms,

Pink petals fell on its pudgy cheeks, "Meow?" The cat and bird looked at each other, each wondering what the other was thinking.

Next to the cherry tree, the tools needed for barbecue were laid out,

The three people, dressed for the warmth, were busy with their own tasks.

"One two, heave-ho! One two, heave-ho! One two...."

Misaki Saki pretended to move the barbecue grid with effort, wearing her small sandals, holding one side of the grill with both hands, eyes tightly shut, her cute face appearing to strain with effort.

"Heave!"

Gradually, the grill was lifted, from the ground over her calves, her thighs, her upper body, and finally, it floated past the girl's face, her soft white hands still gripping firmly.

It seemed as though she had exerted a lot of effort, for the length of the grill was now as long as the girl's lower body...

"Stop acting, just let go."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the girl slowly opened her eyes and looked over,

On the other side of the grill was Haruka Yuzan, with firm hands holding both sides of the iron frame, his handsome face full of disbelief.

Only then did Misaki Saki realize she hadn't put in any effort at all, "You know, I could've done it myself."

She said sullenly, and as if to prove her point, she forcefully hoisted the grill over her head, showing she was okay.

Seeing the girl's antics, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but shake his head; his right hand reached forward to the middle of the grill,

With a strong pull, he lifted the entire grill, along with the tiny girl, effortlessly.

```

"Eh, eh, eh!"

As Misaki Saki hung in the air, her little legs flailed helplessly. First, a look of surprise spread across her cute face, and then, as if she had discovered something fun, a happy smile blossomed.

"Haruka, can you lift me higher? It's so much fun!"

Watching the frolicking child, Haruka Yuzan's face was covered in black lines. This guy, she's actually enjoying this,

"Hurry up and come down, or I'll tie you to the grill and roast you. Tonight's extra meal, charcoal-grilled suckling pig."

"Meow?"

The boy's words seemed to have captured the attention of the roast meat that had been zoning out, which gave a meowed in surprise and scrambled to turn its body around, bean eyes filled with shock.

"Hmph!"

Misaki Saki hmphed, and only then, rather unwillingly, let go and jumped down. In reality, her little legs were only a few centimeters off the ground.

Haruka Yuzan couldn't help shaking his head, "Stop hmphing. Come and help in a bit."

"Got it!"

....

The little courtyard came with an outdoor faucet,

Haruka Yuzan walked towards the corner, carrying the barbecue grill, with a golden little tail following behind him.

The System was considerate when sending things; the barbecue grill came with the furniture and had been there all along. However, he had never used it, and it had been gathering dust in the storage room,

Today, finally, it saw the light of day again, its moment to shine had arrived!!

He placed the iron grill to one side, took a small stool, turned on the water faucet, and clear water flowed slowly. Taking up a scrubbing brush, he began to work on it.

"What do you need me to do?"

Misaki Saki came closer, leaned her body to the side, and bent over, her large, sparkling eyes blinking.

This is just how the girl is, a pushover one moment, and the next turning back into that quirky little thing.

Haruka Yuzan turned his head to see a pleasant smile on her soft, cute little face.

Hmm... such a sensible child.

The boy felt touched inwardly, then glanced again at Miss Chiba not far behind him, who was busy trying to light the fire.

The graceful figure was sitting in a chair, holding a fan, gently waving it over the charcoal. Yet, despite the half day that passed, not a wisp of smoke had risen.

Her brows were knitted, and it seemed that the miss was experiencing quite the challenge.

"Then I'll leave the task of washing the grill to you!"

Haruka Yuzan withdrew his gaze and seriously addressed the girl in front of him,

"Do it well, and there'll be a reward for you tonight!"

At the mention of a reward, Misaki Saki's pretty eyes couldn't help but light up, her cute face serious, "I promise to complete the task!!!"

Saying this, she took the small brush from Haruka's hand, grabbed a small stool, and sat down to start diligently "heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho!"

A few drops of water splashed onto the girl's arms, and the glistening droplets sparkled in the afternoon sunlight, creating a dreamy effect.

The fair and lovely complexion of her face was tinged with a faint blush from the effort, innocent and charming.

"Good, work hard and you'll get candy to eat tonight."

Haruka Yuzan smiled, feeling a vague sense of guilt as if he was tricking a child,

He shrugged his shoulders, and as he got up, when no one was looking, he stretched his hand into the girl's small vest and vigorously felt the smooth and youthful skin.

"Tch, stop moving, I'm working here!" complained Misaki Saki, pouting her little mouth with slight dissatisfaction.

It seemed as if nothing in the outside world could disturb her from her work, her cute face the picture of seriousness.

"Alright, alright, you do have a conscience."

Hearing the girl's words, Haruka Yuzan felt quite gratified. He managed a pat on the little one's conscience and then strode away.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the small pond glittered with reflected light,

Pretty cherry blossoms scattered across it, an idyllic scene, a pity that there were no fish to be seen swimming.

Hmm... perhaps I should buy some goldfish to keep in it another day?

Otherwise, it's a bit of a waste of a small pond.

Now that there were more tenants in the villa, some of the previously unnoticed scenes should be gradually tidied up again.

"Meow!"

A meow attracted Haruka Yuzan's attention,

The plump orange cat was squatting under the cherry tree, its bun-like face seemingly annoyed, as it stretched out two short paws and meowed at the birds on the branches.

Its chubby body was the picture of a disgruntled little thing.

Hmmm... maybe I'll reconsider stocking the fish pond.

Otherwise, this clumsy cat might end up in the pond every other day.

Sigh, who does it take after, being so clumsy?

He shook his head as if pitying something, walked past the clumsy cat, and headed toward the elegant figure.

Chiba Shimizu was sitting in a chair, having changed out of her school uniform into casual clothes, a white tank top outlining a perfect curve on her chest,

The lower half of her body was clad in a pair of black shorts, leaving a pair of fair, delicate, long legs boldly exposed to the air, drawing Haruka Yuzan's gaze.
