Her golden locks were tied into two ponytails, flailing in the air like a steering wheel.
Her striking figure, highlighted by the fabric of her tiny vest that was so scant it was almost pitiful, made one's throat stir with restlessness!
Below, she wore miniature shorts that showcased her long legs to die for!!
Slender yet healthy, it was hard to imagine what it would feel like to be wrapped around that waist.
However, Haruka Yuzan's gaze shifted to Chiba Shimizu upon the stir at the top of the staircase.
Her small, oval face was stunningly fair, with features so delicate they seemed intricately carved, a beauty to behold. However, her peach-blossom eyes that were like autumn water emitted a temperament that kept others at a thousand miles away, and that invisible arrogance in the depths of her eyes was hard to ignore.
The pure yet provocative JK outfit,
her dainty and tight shiny shirt, adorned with a blue-striped bow tie at the front, was neatly buttoned at the top, with a just-right fullness on the chest that didn't lose a sense of beauty or become sloppy. The whole person exuded a cleanliness and tidiness from the depths of her soul.
Her smooth and flat belly was paired with a red plaid pleated skirt on the lower body, and her slender, shapely legs were wrapped in white stockings, matched with round-toed black leather shoes, making her look exceptionally pure and charming...
Carrying a small suitcase, her silver hair cascaded naturally, was she a high-class lady here for a summer vacation?
Chiba Shimizu walked down to the living room and seemed to notice Haruka Yuzan's gaze, turning her head directly to look back.
"Hello there, Chiba-san."
The latter nodded, then turned with her suitcase to consult the sophisticated woman if there was anything she could help with.
At this moment, a plump orange cat emerged from a corner of the living room, meowing as it approached.
One step, two steps, its orange body sank down, lying right beside Haruka Yuzan's trouser leg, its fat belly upturned, its short limbs gently swaying, its pitch-black bean eyes brimming with confusion.
How come it woke up to find everyone seemed to be going out?
What about the Great Cat King? Was it left alone to watch the house?
"I almost forgot about you."
Haruka Yuzan bent down and scratched its little belly; Roast Meat seemed thoroughly enjoying the petting, meowing contentedly.
Haruka Yuzan scooped up the fat cat, which made its eyes flash with confusion; he then juggled Roast Meat in his hand before confirming:
"Roast Meat, have you lost some weight recently?"
"Oh right, almost forgot, Misaki takes you out for walks every afternoon."
Thinking of the little one leading the tiger cub-sized Roast Meat on a leash, he couldn't help but laugh.
It was lucky that Roast Meat was cooperative; otherwise, it would have been quite a headache. With Misaki's tiny arms and legs, she might have actually been dragged away by the fat cat.
Popping Roast Meat into a cage, Haruka Yuzan bade farewell to the others:
"I'm going to check Roast Meat in for the journey; we'll meet at the train station!"
"Alright, go ahead! Take care on your way." Reiko Onodera handed some prepared materials to Haruka Yuzan, then added with a smile:
"Haruka, I've packed your luggage; I'll bring it along later..."
"Thank you, Sister Reiko," Haruka Yuzan smiled and said, as he had only planned to play for three or four days, thus the luggage wasn't very heavy, especially for Haruka Yuzan, who only brought a few sets of clothes to change into.
"I'm going too, I want to see Roast Meat off as well!!"
Misaki Saki, hearing the commotion, also ran into the living room, clamoring to follow along.
The azure sky was dotted with white clouds.
The train traversing the mountainous region moved across the plains like the flowing rhythm of a poem, breaking through the air's boundary, rushing towards the unknown yonder.
Green trees were lush, and occasionally one could spot a clear stream; seated on the train, it felt like being in a moving landscape painting, an experience so enthralling, it mesmerized.
Haruka Yuzan leaned back on a soft chair, and the little one beside him had already tilted his head and fallen into a sleep, a string of clear drool trickling from the corner of the kid's mouth, looking incredibly cute.
The beautiful woman sitting across from him wore a dress, while Chiba Shimizu and Arisugawa Hoshina were sitting on the seats across the corridor.
The tough girl was playing a game on her Switch, Chiba-san calmly flipping through a book as if she were disconnected from everything around her.
As for Sister Reiko, she was smiling at the sleeping kid; it seemed that for madam, as long as everyone was happy, that was satisfaction enough. Orıginal content can be found at novel·fire.net
Haruka Yuzan shifted his somewhat sore shoulders and started to pick up his phone to chat with Otome Mizuko.
The young lady was supposed to come too, and had even packed her luggage, but somehow Otome Toyama got wind of her darling daughter's intention to strike and promptly dragged her back home that very night.
Unfortunately, Otome Toyama had to go abroad today to meet with some senior figures from other countries and he wanted to take Otome Mizuko with him.
After all, Otome Mizuko was bound to take charge of the Otome Group in the future, so it was natural for her to attend such gatherings.
Not to mention that the Otome Group was in the midst of a comprehensive transformation phase and couldn't do without the young lady...
After sending Otome Mizuko a message that he was already on the vehicle,
he put away his phone and pulled up the system's virtual panel:
[Landlord Information: Haruka Yuzan]

With four remaining lottery chances, Haruka Yuzan planned to use them all up on the vehicle ride, hoping to get some good items to prepare for future plans.
However, before the draw, he looked at that potion bottle and fell into deep thought; the item was good, but there was something odd about using it.....
Moreover, the relationship between the two young ladies had significantly thawed recently...
Shaking his head to clear the thoughts from his mind, he decided to focus on the draw first.
At the very least... let's try two times, test the luck, and if it doesn't work out, fight another day!
[Using up one Lucky Grand Spin Draw]
[Drawing for the landlord....]
[Drawing for the landlord....]
[Congratulations to the landlord on acquiring a special prop: Cat-Eared Girl Potion x1]
Haruka Yuzan looked at the item he had drawn, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes.
No way, a cat girl potion??
It shouldn't be... what he thought it was, right...
Although Roast Meat usually seemed smart and sometimes even more sensible than Misaki Saki next to her, Haruka Yuzan never anticipated this day would come!!!
Taking a deep breath to calm his somewhat nervous heart, he clicked on the prop's description:
[Special Prop: Cat-Eared Girl Potion x1]
[Transforms a cat into a humanoid form from a theological perspective and enables unhindered communication. (This potion is limited to female cats only.)]
[Assessment: Are you still troubled by not having a cat-eared girl? Are you still envious of cat-eared girls in otherworldly anime? Are you still annoyed that you cannot communicate happily with cats?]
