"My name is Chiba Shimizu.
When I was a child, I too had a very happy and stable childhood, but everything changed when my mother died.
My sister gradually took over the family business, and her demands on me grew. I began learning the piano, dancing, tea ceremony, manners....
Gradually, the only good friend left by my side was Otome Mizuko. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
I cherished the friendship with Mizuko.
With her company, I was able to get through those boring moments.
Sometimes I envied Mizuko, Uncle Otome's expectations for her were very low, and he even said there were no expectations at all; she didn't need to learn those meaningless things.
We attended junior high and high school together...
Until she met a boy, Haruka Yuzan...
I don't know why Mizuko became so obsessed with a boy to a pathological extent; it made me curious, and I began to interact with this person named Haruka Yuzan.
I discovered this guy, other than being a bit handsome, was completely a self-important troublemaker.
After that, I stopped paying attention to him.
Until one day, due to a debate over piano practice with my sister, I couldn't stand the suffocation any longer and just left home... it wasn't actually a home but a house.
With nowhere to go, I found a villa for rent online.
Unlike other listings, the conditions were strange... seeking a roommate for a cat that can do backflips?
Out of curiosity, I decided to have a look.
Coincidentally, I ran into Haruka Yuzan on the road... and he turned out to be my landlord?
This guy usually spends very little, and even the game console he plays is borrowed from someone else. Unexpectedly, he owns a villa.
I started to suspect that it might be a gift from Mizuko.
Upon thinking, living with a good girlfriend seemed like a decent option.
When I arrived at the villa, I realized something was amiss; there were two other people there? And both women!
There was something off about Haruka Yuzan, and Mizuko definitely didn't know about the situation in this villa!
Should I tell my girlfriend?
I should expose this scumbag's true colors, but... considering Mizuko's personality, not only would Haruka Yuzan be doomed, but those two women in the villa might also end up at the bottom of Tokyo Bay.
That night, I talked a lot with Haruka Yuzan and decided to observe more.
That's how I settled down in the villa.
Along the way, I discovered that Mrs. Reiko Onodera was a kind and extremely gentle person.
She almost single-handedly took on the cleaning of the villa and everyone's meals.
By Sister Reiko's side, I felt the warmth I hadn't felt in a long time, just like a mother.
I began learning to cook, clean, wash clothes...
Later, I found Misaki to be a very interesting person. She could talk endlessly, always finding the core of issues from fresh perspectives."
Seeing Haruka Yuzan and her playful banter brought me great joy, and I even found myself joining Misaki to tease Haruka Yuzan. Suddenly, I realized teasing Haruka Yuzan was genuinely fun.
It's a bit strange, I clearly don't feel this way towards anyone else...
As time went on, I found myself settling into the rhythm of life at the villa.
Later... we celebrated Sister Reiko's birthday together, prepared to open a coffee shop, welcomed a new tenant, Hoshina, and returned to the countryside together...
All these were experiences I had never had before.
During this process, I developed a peculiar feeling towards Haruka Yuzan.
I must admit, this guy really is someone who radiates wherever he goes.
His handsome appearance and outstanding physique, and occasionally, he would throw in a line or two of banter that others hadn't heard...
Could this be why Yumeko fell for him?
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, causing the kimono on the wooden rack to flutter in the breeze.
Chiba Shimizu slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
The straps of her plain white nightgown slipped from her shoulders, revealing her creamy complexion; her expression remained cool as she stepped out of the bedroom after washing up.
She bumped into Misaki Saki face-to-face.
Caught red-handed, the little she-devil looked extremely nervous, her hands flailing in the air as her brain whirled, thinking of an excuse.
"Yes, I believe you."
Chiba Shimizu said indifferently and walked past her, ready to head downstairs.
As she passed by Haruka Yuzan's room, she glanced inside.
