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

"Eh? Haruka, is Chiba up to something today?"

Inside the kitchen,Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Reiko Onodera looked somewhat concernedly at the empty doorway, which at this time, the young girl would usually have walked into.

When she had just gotten home, she found only a young man sitting in the living room, playing with a cat, and thought that Chiba Shimizu must have gone back to her bedroom on the second floor for some reason.

While curious, she was more concerned about the girl's well-being.

"Mm, there's some stuff going on at school, she hasn't finished dealing with it yet," Haruka Yuzan, also wearing an apron, nodded, "She should be back soon though, let's start cooking."

"At school?"

Reiko blinked, her movements slowing slightly as if hesitating whether to call Chiba Shimizu to ask when she would return so she could start cooking...

Otherwise, the food would cool down if made too early.

But if she didn't cook, would Haruka get a little hungry…

If she really had to make a choice, Reiko would definitely lean towards making sure the young man was fed, after all, Haruka Yuzan's feelings always came first in her heart, and nothing could shake that...

"Haruka..." She turned around to face the young man, her eyes rippling softly as they filled with tenderness; oh, how fatal a gentle madam can be!

Incapable of making a decision, she habitually left the problem for the little landlord to handle. Anyway... she only needed to follow what he said....

Haruka Yuzan seemed to have already seen through Madam's embarrassment and couldn't help but reveal a warming smile,

"Don't worry, Sister Reiko, I just messaged Chiba, and she said she's done and will be back soon. It's the perfect time for us to cook now."

"Mhmm, okay."

After hearing the young man's words, Reiko breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood lightened along with it.

Simple, everyday life was enough to satisfy Madam, she didn't need any dramas...

The dinner was prepared with sturgeon soup and homemade mini burgers. Madam, in her effort to vary the daily meals, aside from reading books related to coffee shop work, took the time to learn many new recipes... doing her best to provide everyone with different experiences...

If Haruka was the first priority, then managing the villa was placed second by Madam...

As for herself, she didn't even make the top three... perhaps ranked beyond the top ten?

"Sister Reiko, how's the preparation going lately?" Suddenly, Haruka Yuzan asked.

The young man was then handling the beef, chopping it up because he needed to make beef patties. The sharp knife left shallow traces on the cutting board, and the "clang clang clang" sounds continued; seemingly casual movements were actually quite efficient.

He was confident in his skills, moving with ease...

"Ah?" Hearing the young man's question, Reiko quickly responded, "I feel like there is still so much to learn, but it shouldn't affect the opening."

As if feeling a bit guilty for not fully meeting the young man's expectations, Madam suddenly appeared a bit self-reproachful,

"I've been studying really hard lately, I don't know if it's because I'm too dumb, but I always feel uncertain...."

"No problem, running a good coffee shop isn't done overnight, don't pressure yourself, and I'm here too, Sister Reiko..."

Haruka Yuzan naturally wouldn't blame her; the coffee shop was essentially opened for Reiko. As long as they found the right staff at the beginning, there wasn't too much else to do...

Moreover, with a smart young lady like Chiba Shimizu around, it would be a waste not to make use of such a great resource...

"Mhmm, thank you, Haruka, I will definitely work hard!"

Reiko lifted her head, her pretty face filled with determination and seriousness,

Those words seemed to be more for her own benefit... She had to work hard and not let Haruka down....

"Yeah, I believe in you, Sister Reiko."

Haruka Yuzan smiled as well, clearly aware of Madam's efforts. Sometimes during night visits, he would find that Reiko, who typically went to bed early, stayed up late to read and take notes.

The afternoon sun shone through the window,

It was quite hot outside, and with poor air circulation in the kitchen, beads of sweat slowly slid down Madam's forehead, strands of hair sticking to it, and under the sunlight, the apron-clad Madam looked even more enchanting.

Strictly speaking, the type of apron Haruka bought at the beginning wasn't really for cooking... It seemed to be more designed to enhance marital bliss.

Like now, worn by Madam, it was simply beautiful, Read chapters at empire

The pale yellow apron bulged out, her dark hair braided into plaits that fell over her bosom, large patches of fair skin peeking out seemed to glisten with droplets of moisture, and two soft, plump legs were pressed together.

With red lips and delicate eyebrows, the softness in her eyes carried a tender fragility.

Now... there seemed to be no one in the living room...

Chiba Shimizu was at school, Arisugawa Hoshina went straight to her bedroom whenever she was in the villa, and Misaki Saki... had yet to leave her room at all.

Even the Roast Meat had been snatched away to her bedroom by the little rascal....

So, on the first floor, it was just him and Reiko, and they were in the kitchen.

"What's up, Haruka?" Reiko asked, her curiosity piqued.
