As evening approached, the warm night breeze was incredibly soothing and pleasant.
Walking on the streets of the community, passersby each had expressions of worry, joy, or confusion on their faces.
It seemed that at this time, it was really suitable for reflecting on life, dreaming about the future, or reminiscing about people...
The summer evenings of July always seemed to evoke people's emotions.
"Thank you, Haruka..."
Arisugawa Hoshina bowed her head, as bits of soil kept being kicked up from the cracks between the paving stones.
"It's no big deal, this is what a good landlord should do! Dedicated to helping every tenant achieve their dreams!!"
Feeling this wonderful atmosphere, Haruka Yuzan's mood also improved a lot.
Arisugawa Hoshina chuckled, her head bowed as she seemed lost in thought.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Oh, nothing much, just that you guys can sometimes be very sincere, and other times, especially fake."
"Isn't that kind of judgment a bit too one-sided?"
Haruka Yuzan said with a shameless grin.
"No, no, no, I'm telling the truth, and you are the most typical example of that."
"Saying that really hurts my feelings, little Hoshina."
When I returned home in the evening.
Reiko Onodera had already prepared what we were going to have for dinner tonight.
The beautiful lady and the cool young girl were busy in the kitchen, and at a glance, only the idle Misaki Saki was playing with roast meat on the balcony.
No, it should be said that one person and one cat were playing with each other, because no matter how you looked at it, Misaki was the one on the losing end.
"No, no, that round doesn't count!!"
Who knew what kind of game this person and cat were playing, apparently betting on which of the two snails in the little yard would move first.
How could there be snails crawling out in this kind of weather?
Indeed, it was a bit incredible.
At that moment, Reiko Onodera came out of the kitchen, followed by the delicate young girl carrying a plate of perfectly roasted meat.
Instantly, the living room was filled with the rich aroma of roast meat.
Misaki Saki immediately left her chubby cat pal and ran over in a puff of smoke.
"Ohoho! Time to eat, we are having roast meat tonight!!"
Seeing this warm scene, Reiko Onodera couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
This leisurely pace of life was the best.
Arisugawa Hoshina bit her chopsticks, her gaze sweeping back and forth among the few people present.
Sister Reiko, Misaki... and little Shimizu.
That jerk Haruka Yuzan shouldn't have anything to do with Shimizu, right...
If the rival becomes the young lady, the difficulty of the game would skyrocket to a hellish level, and my odds of winning seemed slim...
"Little Shimizu, try this, Reiko especially grilled it for you!"
Haruka Yuzan laughingly offered the girl a slice of perfectly seared pork.
Chiba Shimizu nodded, without saying much, just took the golden-brown piece of roast meat and put it in her mouth.
After chewing briefly, she nodded coolly. Although her small face remained calm, she still gave her most sincere appraisal.
"If it's delicious, eat more." What should have been said by Mrs. Onodera, was instead spoken by Haruka Yuzan first.
Reiko Onodera, seeing this friendly exchange, couldn't help but show a heartwarming smile.
This kind of family atmosphere and state was really nice...
Meanwhile, Arisugawa Hoshina kept biting her chopsticks, her gaze flickering back and forth between the two.
It seemed as if she was inspecting something; surely there couldn't be anything between those two...
No, I can't, right, I can't!
After comforting herself for a bit, Arisugawa Hoshina finally waved her hand and showed a relaxed smile.
Right, how could a perfect woman like Shimizu possibly fall for a playboy like Haruka Yuzan?
I must have been overthinking it.
"Little Hoshina, what are you doing?"
Misaki Saki leaned in, her rosy lips filled with roast meat, with butter sizzling all around them.
Her fair little face was filled with happiness, as if just one bite of roast meat could make her ecstatic.
"Aww, well if you're fine, then hurry up and eat the roast meat! It's really good!!"
Misaki Saki stuffed her tiny mouth slowly, mumbling so that one could only roughly make out what she was saying.
"Oh, oh, I, I'm still eating....."
Noticing that everyone's gaze followed the young girl, Arisugawa Hoshina also hurriedly stuffed some roast meat into her own mouth.
She didn't dare to let her mind wander anymore and started to eat her meal earnestly.
Reiko Onodera and Chiba Shimizu returned to the kitchen to start cleaning up.
Meanwhile, the responsibility for the dining table was left to the tomboy and Misaki Saki.
As for Haruka Yuzan...
He had already returned to his room early to start checking his haul!!
[Tenant: 005: Arisugawa Hoshina's Wish List:]
[List item one: Hope to be able to change the living environment of my mother and sister. (Already completed)]
[Task reward obtained: Lucky draw wheel X1]
He had no current plans to fulfill item three on the list, but as for the second item...
Sure enough, in the tomboy's heart, those measures didn't really count as punishment, did they?
However, Haruka Yuzan felt the same way, if it hadn't been for the first meeting with Ishihara Yoshiko and Arisugawa Mai, wanting to establish as good an impression as possible in front of the mother and daughter.
He really did want to give Arisugawa Oda a good lesson!
Shaking his head, he put those thoughts aside, as Haruka Yuzan's attention was now fully on the lucky draw wheel.
Theoretically, he should be able to draw any prop, no matter how fantastical or strange.
Right now, he had lost all interest in money or ordinary items.
He hoped this time he would get something fresh. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
After bathing and dressing, relaxing his mind, he took a deep breath, ready for the draw!!
As the thought crossed his mind to try his luck, Haruka Yuzan suddenly remembered something.
He quickly stopped the thought of drawing.
He remembered that when he got something good the previous two times, there was always a lucky charm he was holding onto.
Although Misaki's was small, so small it was almost negligible, but... it still added a bit of confidence to his heart...
Now, without a lucky charm by his side, he felt really uneasy!
Although... good-looking guys generally have good luck...
As Haruka Yuzan was thinking this, there came a knock on the door from outside.
The door slowly opened, and a silhouette walked in.
"Haruka, are, are you busy right now?"
Arisugawa Hoshina walked in slowly, her hands naturally locking the door behind her, her beautiful eyes tinted with a shy blush for some reason,
"If you're not busy... I have something I want to talk to you about...."
Glancing at the darkening sky outside, which had completely dimmed, she came to see him at this time... to talk about something?
Haruka Yuzan stood up from the floor, walked over to the door, took the tomboy's hand, and led her to sit on the edge of the bed. Then he said with a serious face,
"Just tell me what it is, helping tenants with their problems is what every landlord should do!!"
"Well then... I want to discuss the matter of interest on the loan with you...."
As she spoke, Arisugawa Hoshina bowed her head, too embarrassed to look up at the boy.
Come on, to say it like that, it's really embarrassingly direct, isn't it?!
How should he proceed further??
Seeing the bashfully blooming tomboy, Haruka Yuzan smiled, a shy delinquent girl's effect doubled!!
"As for the interest... I'll just take a little bit for now..."
Before the tomboy could react, Haruka Yuzan leaned forward and kissed those rosy lips.
Pink and bouncy, fragrant and soft.
The night drew its curtain closed, the bright moonlight obscured by the dark clouds.
Initially, Haruka Yuzan really just intended to have a small taste.
But... as he tested the waters, he found that the tomboy didn't resist at all!!
No matter what he did, there was no resistance!
You're right, as long as it's Haruka, anything goes!!!
"Hoshina, are you really okay with this?"
In the pitch-black room, Haruka Yuzan softly asked the person beneath him.
The normally fiery and brash bad girl had also become shy at this moment.
Haruka Yuzan chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?!"
"This version of little Hoshina is just too cute!!"
"You, you're the cute one!!"
