"Welcome little Hoshina to our ranks!!"
A childish voice rang out, and Arisugawa Hoshina, somewhat surprised, removed the streamers that had fallen on her head, only to see a little girl who had appeared out of nowhere in front of her, and squatting beside her... a lump of an orange cat?
Her first glance was not on the little girl beside her but was directly drawn to the fat cat; it couldn't be helped,
Those bean eyes full of intelligence and the mountain-like physique, squatting beside the girl and yet as tall as her calves, even if it was also because of Misaki Saki's short legs, but it is often just such a contrast that makes roast meat more attention-grabbing.
What, is there a pig in the villa?!
Feeling as if it had been invaded, Roast Meat meowed discontentedly twice to assert its noble Hagimiya status...
Taking her gaze back, Arisugawa Hoshina smiled wryly and then looked at the little person beside the fat cat,
The oversized white T-shirt just nicely covered the little pp, not too much, nor too little, also wondering where this fellow could find so many clothes that fit just right,
Possibly... even though wearing children's clothing would have sufficed, she insisted on buying an adult's T-shirt?
The slender, fair little short legs, the shiny, bouncy little feet were standing bare on the floor. Content orıginally comes from n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Her small hands held a party popper, her pure and cute little face brimming with a joyful smile.
Where did this little girl come from??
Could it be Sister Reiko's daughter? But... has she grown this much? She must be in middle school already, right...
However... after snapping out of it, Arisugawa Hoshina's eyes glowed with excitement; this little guy was just too cute!!!
With just one sweet sentence, she directly conquered Spice Girl, and since she might be Reiko's daughter, Spice Girl also quickly bent down, smiling and saying,
"Hello there, kiddo!"
After finishing, she even reached out and patted the little person on the head.
Haruka Yuzan, who had already taken a seat in the living room, couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.
I'm sorry, Misaki, I really couldn't hold it in.
Misaki Saki was indeed stunned, standing still,
But the little one's attention was neither on what the Spice Girl had said nor on the hand affectionately stroking her hair,
Spice Girl was wearing a strapless blouse today. As she bent down, Misaki Saki seemed to witness the creator's mighty power, a range of peaks, stirring waves!
The exaggerated curves, the exaggerated...
The innocent eyes that were just pure and naive had transformed into a stunned expression as her fair and cute little face filled with disbelief, deeply shocked by the scene before her...
Noticing the odd behavior of the little one, Arisugawa Hoshina also tilted her head and inquired.
"It's nothing, just that the world where little Misaki gets hurt is achieved once more, mmph mmph mmph..."
It seems after being subjected to the trials of Chiba, Onodera, and Akiyama, Misaki Saki's dual resistances had clearly leaped in quality, merely being shocked for a moment before regaining her senses and retreating to a corner to weep alone.
As a good companion, certainly Roast Meat was the first to walk over on its four stubby paws, and with a big plump backside, sat down as if to offer comfort...
"Roast Meat, you're so fat, you won't understand my feelings... Wuu wuu wuu... let me be sad by myself for a while..."
"Ah?" As she looked at the one-person-one-cat pair contemplating in the corner, Arisugawa Hoshina was taken aback, suddenly unsure of what to do...
What's going on? Did I say something wrong?
At that moment, Reiko Onodera also came over, took Spice Girl's backpack, and said with a smile, "Hoshina, come on in. What are you still doing at the door?"
Arisugawa Hoshina, too, took off her shoes and followed them inside.
"That's Misaki, also a tenant here, and the one beside her is Roast Meat, Haruka's pet... From now on, we're all one family, so please don't be shy if you need any help—just say it..."
The madam wrapped her arm around the little Missy's, softly introducing her.
"A tenant?" Arisugawa Hoshina was taken aback. So she wasn't Sister Reiko's daughter? But how old was that girl to be renting her own place already?
"Yes, what about it?"
Getting used to a new living environment was something she needed to do...
Entering the living room,
two people were sitting on the couch, Haruka Yuzan and the previously seen demure and graceful girl.
"That's Shimizu, Chiba Shimizu..." the madam also introduced her from the side.
Indeed, true to her name, her cool demeanor seemed to purify one's soul just by being around her...
Especially for a delinquent girl like her, it was two different lives on completely opposite trajectories...
"Hello." A cool voice came through as Chiba Shimizu looked up at her, seemingly to say hello.
There's no use expecting the young lady to be enthusiastic about anyone; if there were to be a few exception, perhaps Reiko Onodera, Misaki, Otome, and Haruka... maybe three-quarters for the last one?
The meticulous class president had her own set of rules in mind, and she naturally wouldn't show much enthusiasm to a new acquaintance like the little Missy.
Arisugawa Hoshina also nodded, considering that as having exchanged greetings. Although the girl was cool and distant, Hoshina had observed that she was naturally like that with everybody, so the little Missy didn't say much more, let alone entertain the silly thought that she was being looked down upon...
"Sister Reiko, I'd like to ask you to show Hoshina around the villa and then choose a room for her. Once she has made her choice, I'll move her luggage up there."
Haruka Yuzan sat on the sofa, looked up at the two of them, and said with a smile.
"Sure, of course." Reiko Onodera nodded her head, clearly pleased about the little Missy moving into the villa...
"Come with me, Hoshina."
"Thank you, Sister Reiko." Arisugawa Hoshina was quite intrigued by the luxurious villa and was filled with joy at the thought of living in such a place in the future...
The two figures receded into the distance, heading toward the second floor until they disappeared. Chiba Shimizu didn't say anything else from beginning to end,
As evening approached, the villa carried a hint of weariness, the sound of pages turning faintly audible. Delicate, long fingers brushed a lock of hair from the side of her head, revealing an astonishingly beautiful profile illuminated by the light streaming in through the window as she quietly read "Stray Birds."
The young lady alone could perfectly embody the poetic essence within...

Wish List One was the usual story, it seemed that the little Missy was facing the same financial difficulties as the madam once did.
Upon seeing Wish Lists Two and Three, Haruka Yuzan narrowed his eyes. Arisugawa Hoshina's secret and some unknown reward?
