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

There was no way around it,

the class president's legs were practically the most perfect he had ever seen.

Her calves were slender and firm, her thighs white and fleshy without being too excessive—if she were to wear a leg ring that left a faint mark on her supple thigh, for Haruka Yuzan, that would be the ultimate knockout.

The girl sat on the chair, her cool eyes constantly watching the scene inside the grill, the fan in her hand constantly fanned, pulling the holy goddess back into reality....

A girl struggling with charcoal fire?

Unfortunately, the pitch-black charcoal lay in the grill slot, showing no intention of igniting itself.

However, the young lady didn't give up because of this. Instead, she picked up a piece of cardboard, lit it, and placed it in the slot, then sped up the movement of her hands in an attempt to prove herself again.

Haruka Yuzan glanced at the time, four fifty. Reiko Onodera was about to get off work,

Seeing the young lady's efforts, he couldn't help but speak up,

"The method is correct, but the speed is just too slow."

"Hmm?" Chiba Shimizu turned to look at the boy beside her, her autumn-water eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Of course, the young miss didn't know how to light charcoal—lighting the cardboard was something she had read about in a book before, and so she tried it out....

As for the effect... it didn't seem very clear at the moment.

Her fair arms were already somewhat sore, and there was a pile of cardboard burned to ashes in the grill slot,

Indeed, to challenge something new, one had to be fully prepared….

"Do you have a better way?"

Her voice indifferent, her eyes inquiring, catching Haruka Yuzan off guard, his heart skipped a beat,

"Of course there is."

With that, he picked up the charcoal tongs lying next to him, grasped a fresh piece of charcoal from the nylon bag, and went inside the villa under the puzzled gaze of the miss.

Chiba Shimizu followed behind him, her beautiful eyes watching the tall figure of the boy in front, and asked,

"What are you going to do?"

"First, we'll go to the kitchen to heat up the charcoal. Once we do that, it'll ignite with just a bit of blowing."

Haruka Yuzan said with a smile, the more time he spent with her, the more he found this class president, so perfect at school, clumsy at life skills, and somewhat endearing....

Seemingly noticing the boy's gaze, Chiba Shimizu explained, "I'm indeed not as good as you in this regard."

A modest statement that added a strong stroke to the milestones of overcoming the young miss in the future.

"It's alright, nobody's perfect." Haruka Yuzan showed an understanding smile, the class president's bowing her head greatly satisfying the young man's vanity, "Even if the class president doesn't understand something, I can completely understand…."

The boy spoke on his own, as if a brother was showing off his knowledge in front of his younger sister,

Chiba Shimizu didn't speak, silently following behind, her eyes showing a flash of complex emotions at the smug young man,

What had happened in the kitchen that afternoon lingered in the young miss's mind for a long time.

The first time... having such close physical contact with a boy felt.....

"Chiba, are you listening to me?"

The calm voice interrupted the miss's thoughts; she looked up and realized that somehow the two had already arrived in the kitchen.

The low murmur of the exhaust fan filled their ears, the blue flame turning the charcoal glowing red with wisps of black smoke rising, making the air in the kitchen less than pleasant.

"Yes, I'm here," Chiba Shimizu put aside her recent thoughts and nodded evenly.

"Good, basically once it's heated to this extent, it's done." Haruka Yuzan smiled, then turned the stove off, carrying the glowing hot charcoal out,

"Be careful, don't burn yourself."

"Yes, I will."

The boy's actions were very careful, his handsome face soft and gentle, making one feel as if basking in the warmth of spring,

Her autumn-water eyes flickered with complicated emotions, but the young miss managed to conceal them well.

This procedure was repeated three or four times,

It was unnecessary to ignite all the charcoal; only a few pieces as starters were sufficient.

Chiba Shimizu continued to sit on the chair, starting to agitate the charcoal in the slot, like a robot, even the frequency was the same.

Soon, the surrounding charcoal was also ignited.

"Okay! I've completed the mission!"

A childish voice rang out from a corner of the small yard.

Looking up, a petite figure stood with one hand on her hip and the other holding a small brush, striking a victor's pose from behind.

"Meow!"

Roast Meat, a cat squatting nearby, lifted its tiny head and meowed, as if to echo the girl's sentiment.

Following that,

Misaki Saki set the brush aside,

shuffled her slipper-clad feet to the side, and, with all her might, gripped the barbecue grill at its edges, summoning her strength.

"Heave-ho!"

The little one lifted the grill in one go, as Bean Eyes, the cat next to her, showed a shocked expression,

as if to say we agreed to laze around together, why have you suddenly risen to the challenge???

Misaki Saki, holding the grill, turned around unsteadily, her adorable face scrunched up, her large eyes squinted shut, her small frame trembling, as if she might give out at any moment.

"Haruka!" With that call, it was as if she sought her savior to take over after completing her mission,

her voice even more urgent than before.

Without the time for teasing, Haruka Yuzan quickly walked over and took the barbecue grill from the little girl's hands.

"Eh!"

Relieved of the burden, Misaki Saki let out a deep breath, her cute face expressing relief,

"I wasn't wrong about you, Haruka, you are a man worthy of trust! Now you have taken the first step!!"

Although she was the one who couldn't hold on any longer, she still acted as if she were testing the boy, leaving Haruka Yuzan somewhat amused and bemused,

"You, don't try to act cool and tough if you can't handle it, okay?"

"What do you mean 'what'!" Misaki Saki pouted her cute little mouth, muttering to herself, "I was just trying to help…"

Her demeanor was that of a child feeling aggrieved, as if she were about to squeeze out a couple of tears.

Haruka couldn't help but sigh inwardly,

"Alright, Sister Reiko will be back soon, get ready for the roast bird!!"

At the mention of food, the young girl's eyes lit up, and she raised her hands above her head, shouting,

"Yay!!!"

Nothing was more important than food!!

The evening sun slowly rose, and although the days were growing longer and the twilight lingered, nothing could hide the spread of the crimson sunset,

as geese vanished into the horizon and the sound of the gate unlocking reached their ears.

Upon returning home, Reiko Onodera was greeted by the busy scene of the three people in the yard.

"Sister Reiko, welcome home," Haruka Yuzan said with a smile.

By the pond,

the three of them, plus one cat, had set up two small tables, one with various ingredients, the other scattered with a few bottles of drinks.

Haruka Yuzan was brushing oil onto the grill with a small basting brush, the drips sizzling on the charcoal and flaring up.

Chiba Shimizu watched quietly from the side, ready to pass things over at any moment.

And Misaki Saki had already run over eagerly, taking an eco-friendly bag from madam, and said with a beaming smile,

"Sister Reiko, welcome home." The young girl's smile was sweet.

Seeing the scene in the yard, Reiko Onodera was touched with a mix of helplessness and warmth, reached out to pat Misaki Saki's head, and showed a tender smile,

"Hmm, didn't we say we'd wait for me to come back and prepare together? How come everything is ready already?"

"We didn't have anything else to do after school this afternoon, so naturally, we got ready early. We can't always trouble you, Sister Reiko,"

Haruka Yuzan, taking the skewered chicken from the girl beside him, expertly placed it on the grill, and said with a smile, "After cooking for so long, it's about time to sit back and enjoy."

The boy stood tall and confident, effortlessly radiating an indescribable charm, even while barbecuing.

Reiko Onodera didn't dawdle either, rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands in the corner, and then went to help.
