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

As soon as the zipper bag was opened, Roast Meat seemed to sense something, its ears twitching twice,

"Roast Meat, come here and have some dried fish."

Upon hearing the call, Roast Meat, who had been sulking, immediately put on a silly and adorable expression, padding over on its short little legs like a low-slung truck heading towards the girl.

There was none of the feline arrogance from moments before.

Misaki Saki also took the opportunity to rub the fluffy belly, "Rika, you should try it too, it's really comforting!"

"Okay!" Seeing such a cute... rather large cat, Rika Onodera tentatively reached out her small hand.

It indeed felt meaty; unlike Ragdolls, the orange cat's fur was not fluffy, it was all solid muscle.

With a piece of dried fish in its mouth, Roast Meat lay on the ground enjoying itself, wagging its tail in the air.

The young girl was also amused by Roast Meat's antics.

...

The bright sun slowly climbed higher, and it seemed even hotter outside.

Unknowingly, a whole morning had passed.

It was now twenty past twelve.

When Haruka Yuzan came out of the kitchen with a plate in hand, he found Rika Onodera struggling to lift Roast Meat up.

The fat cat was getting fatter and even starting to resemble a meatball. The young girl's strength was minimal, making it hard for her to pick him up.

"Meow."

Roast Meat looked ahead, completely bewildered as to what the two of them were doing, but upon seeing Haruka, it started meowing at him.

"Big brother Haruka."

Seeing him, Rika Onodera quickly put the fat cat down on the ground and looked up, sweetly calling out.

"Go wash your hands, it's almost time to eat."

Haruka Yuzan said with a smile, then moved Misaki Saki, who was sniffing with her little nose at the alluring scents, aside,

"You too, go wash up."

"Okay, Haruka brother!" Misaki Saki also feigned an adorable call.

Haruka Yuzan opened his mouth, but found he was lost for words.

"What's with that face? Am I not cute when I'm being coy?"

Misaki Saki puffed up her cheeks, wearing a maid outfit that gave off an unusual contrast and charm.

Yup... she was indeed adorable.

"You're a grown-up, stop playing these games."

Placing the plate on the table, he turned back to the kitchen.

With the cooperation of the three, an array of exquisite dishes was prepared.

Glancing at the time, Reiko Onodera should be back soon.

...

"Hoshina, I'm leaving first."

In the convenience store,

Reiko Onodera said goodbye to the Spice Girl and left the convenience store.

"Okay, got it. I'm about to leave too."

Arisugawa Hoshina replied and looked at the retreating graceful figure, feeling a bit curious in her heart.

Although it was now the time to clock out, Madam was usually not one to rush off from work.

Stay connected through мѵʟ

Today, not only did she leave in a hurry, but she had also kept checking the time on her phone during work in the morning.

Did something urgent come up?

Spice Girl had asked the Madam about it in the morning, but the latter just shook her head with a smile. Although it was not explained, one could tell it was surely something positive.

The smile didn't leave her face all morning.

With a light step, after finishing work, Reiko Onodera felt a sense of relief wash over her.

She was eager to get home.

At this moment, the Madam felt like a pampered little girl.

Everyone at home was preparing for her birthday feast.

"I should get home quickly to see if there's anything I can help with."

The Madam murmured softly to herself and then picked up the pace.

It took only seven or eight minutes to reach the villa on a ten-minute walk.

The door to her home was ajar, and Reiko Onodera walked in, discovering two unfamiliar pairs of shoes at the entrance.

Had they had visitors?

A hint of confusion in her heart because one pair of sandals was clearly for a young girl.

The villa was silent as though no one was there, which puzzled Reiko Onodera.

Just as she put on her shoes, she saw a tall young man coming her way.

"Sister Reiko, you're back?"

Haruka Yuzan greeted her with a smile, but his demeanor was a bit strange.

He seemed to be hiding something behind his back.

"Yes, did we have guests today?"

Seeing the young man, Reiko Onodera didn't think much further but just showed a warm smile,

"I saw that there are two extra pairs of shoes at the entrance."

"Yes, we did have guests," Haruka Yuzan said with a smile, his gaze tender when he looked at the Madam.

However, he did not move aside; everything seemed a bit unusual.

Just then, Misaki Saki came out with a digital camera, looking like she had transformed into a professional photographer—

except that her outfit didn't quite match the persona,

"Sister Reiko, happy birthday, look at the camera and smile."

Reiko Onodera gave a shy smile to the camera.

Misaki Saki was searching for angles, and suddenly, as if she had discovered something,

"Sister Reiko, what's that behind you?"

Huh?

Reiko Onodera instinctively turned her head, but the heavy twin mahogany doors were tightly closed, revealing nothing.

Strange,

"Misaki, what did you see..."

The Madam was curious and turned back around, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped.

In front of her, there was no longer a young man or a girl holding a camera, only a little girl who looked somewhat like her.
