Chapter 17: Chapter 15 The Careless Madam

The sunset at dusk painted the sky, casting the world in an incomparable rosy hue.

The evening breeze blew, and the cherry blossoms by the road rustled, a beautiful rain of cherry petals drifting down—it was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom again.

The handsome youth walked down the street, with delicate cherry petals falling before his eyes, his attractive eyes deep and enchanting,

Right, Sister Reiko mentioned we're out of salt at home—I'll have to stop by the convenience store to get some,

I heard that the giant lizards at the bottom of the sea have evolved again, it's probably best to stay safe these days.

Having made up his mind, Haruka Yuzan headed in the direction of the convenience store.

As evening approached, more pedestrians began to appear on the road, especially students in various school uniforms, walking in groups, discussing their plans for the evening.

Innocent romantic smiles were spread across their faces, oh, the carefree days of student life.

The only thing that probably worried them was exam week; the rest of their concerns were all placed in finding an innocent love to calm their restless hearts.

However, others of similar tender age carried their own troubles.

Carrying their small suitcases, dressed in pleated miniskirts, revealing their slender and beautiful long legs, they stood under the streetlights at the street corners and alleyways, seemingly waiting for someone.

In reality, they too didn't know who they would end up waiting for. The only certainty was that if no patron took them home tonight, they would probably have to spend the night on a park bench or in an internet cafe.

One wonders if those pairs of tender long legs could withstand the onslaught of the night breeze—they looked pitiable.

Even though Haruka Yuzan himself owned a large villa, he truly found himself willing but helpless to offer aid.

[Name: Yoshimura Eriko]

[Upon inspection, the candidate did not meet the tenant's criteria, please search for a more suitable tenant candidate.]

For those who did not meet the standards, the System's remarks were always this terse, as if reluctant to waste too much time on them.

The reasons given were simple, it was not a matter of looks, but rather that they were all modeled after the "Hokkaido War God" Ogiwara Sayu, a battle-hardened goddess.

If these people met the criteria, Haruka Yuzan would not have ended up with only one tenant thus far.

Sigh,

Diverting his gaze from the girls' tender long legs, Haruka Yuzan sighed softly,

"Why isn't there a runaway beauty I could bring home just after she's left her home?"

Then I could help her get on the right track, right?

How fulfilling would it be to guide a naïve fallen girl who has given up hope on this world?

Every day, he would screen the fresh runaways, but without exception, none of them met the standard.

The suitcase girls seemed to notice the handsome Haruka as well. Clearly attired as high school students, they weren't the primary choice; their main targets were single middle-aged men working overtime late into the night. However, what if the handsome guy was renting a place by himself?

Being so handsome, it wouldn't be impossible without wearing one...

Upon arriving at the convenience store, he found that the hiring sign that had been posted at the entrance that morning had been torn down,

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, had someone beaten him to it?

When paying, noticing no one was behind him in line, Haruka Yuzan casually asked,

"Are you still hiring here?"

The cashier girl, happy to assist this familiar handsome patron who often supported the business, replied,

"I'm sorry, someone applied this morning, so we're not short of staff at the moment. Why, are you looking to work at a convenience store?"

If she remembered correctly, this handsome guy should be a student, right?

"Hmm...it's not that I wanted to come, it's just asking for a friend," Haruka Yuzan said with a smile, "It's a bit of a shame."

"Yeah..." the cashier also showed a look of regret on her face.

If there was a handsome guy to feast the eyes on during breaks, the boring life would become a bit more interesting.

After thanking the cashier, he walked out of the convenience store.

The streetlights had already lit up ahead of time, getting ready for the approaching night.

The bustling streets, neon signs, one must definitely go see the Shibuya Streets if there's a chance.

By the time he got home, it was already seven in the evening, and the villa was dimly lit, with only a faint light coming from the direction of the kitchen.

Well, that's quite nice, Mrs. Onodera has a thrifty heart, which is quite praiseworthy.

"Meow." Suddenly, a meowing sound came to his ears,

Looking down, Roast Meat was sitting on the floor, looking at Haruka with those two wise Beans eyes,

"Meow meow..."

"How come you deigned to come downstairs today?"

"Meow meow meow meow....."

"Can't you speak human? You're being very disrespectful like this....."

"Meow?"

Changing his shoes at the entrance, he reached down and picked up Roast Meat from the ground, the heavy and solid feeling was like a small dumbbell,

Walking into the kitchen, he saw that busy figure,

"Haruka, you're back?"

The kitchen was a bit stuffy, Mrs. Onodera had already put on that large, dark blue robe, her hair tied up high with a few strands moistened by sweat sticking to her forehead, and it seemed a few drops of sweat were slowly trickling down her neck.

Bending over slightly, the wide collar gaped open toward the air, letting the tender skin beneath also breathe some fresh air.

With her hands kneading the dough, a classic movie Haruka Yuzan had seen in his previous life flashed through his mind, the scene of Pan Jinlian making pancakes in "The Golden Lotus", her thin clothing becoming very seductive because of the sweat, mature and sexy, filled with a woman's scent.

This was one of the few big-budget productions that could compete with those art films from the Island Country.

"Mhm," Haruka Yuzan withdrew his gaze from the neckline and placed the salt Mrs. Onodera needed on the table, "Here's the new salt I bought."

"Thanks, Mr. Haruka, we're having ramen today, leave everything to me," said Reiko Onodera as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her wrist, the careless madam not yet realizing her size 36 was exposed to someone's gaze.

She seemed very happy, apparently, the job-hunting journey during the day went smoothly.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Sister Reiko," Haruka Yuzan found it hard to withdraw his gaze, his mind calculating how to suggest to the madam about paying today's rent later on.

Or perhaps, be even more excessive tonight?

Shaking his head, he walked out of the kitchen with Roast Meat in his arms.

"Meow...."

With Roast Meat meowing in his arms, Haruka Yuzan had already brought it up to his room on the second floor.

Throwing the fat cat onto the bed, under the curious gaze of Roast Meat, the big guy began to flex his wrists and finger joints.

That attribute point, he's got his eyes on it!

Chapter 18: Chapter 16 Madam Seems Even More Attractive

"Meow..."

Roast Meat lay comfortably on the big bed, with the same content and indulgent expression on its pudgy face as Haruka Yuzan had the night before.

I have no regrets in this cat life.

"Look at what a sorry sight you are."

Haruka rubbed his somewhat sore fingers, with a sneer,

"Other people's pets turn into beautiful girls to wait on their owners, so how come with you, I not only have to feed you but also give you massages?"

[Tenant: Roast Meat]

[Tenant Wish List:]

[1. Eat a can of cat food daily. (Completed)]

[2. Hope the poop scooper will give me a massage. (Completed)]

[3. Sleep whenever I want, rise whenever I want. (Completed)]

[By fulfilling Roast Meat's wish list, you gained a reward: Two Thousand Japanese Yen, Attribute Points: 1]

[Today's list has all been completed.]

Seeing the reward in hand, Haruka Yuzan directly grabbed Roast Meat's nape, ignoring the little paws flailing in the air, and tossed it straight onto the small hammock.

Seeming a bit miffed, the pudgy bun face turned away, not looking at Haruka.

After washing his hands in the bathroom, he came out and opened the system's virtual panel,

[Landlord Information: Haruka Yuzan]

[Physical Strength: 8]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charm: 9]

[Free Attribute Points: 1]

[Tenant Information: Roast Meat, Reiko Onodera.]

One more free attribute point, huh? Haruka Yuzan lay on the large bed,

His attribute panel was very balanced, with no shortcomings, and they all exceeded the average person's, but to be a handsome landlord,

providing a warm home to thousands of beautiful girls, naturally, I had to develop evenly and comprehensively regarding moral, intellectual, physical, and artistic aspects.

I already had moral and artistic aspects covered; what's left are physical strength and intelligence,

[Intelligence: 7-8]

[Adding points completed.]

With intelligence improved, Haruka Yuzan felt his head, which had been a bit groggy, suddenly become much clearer.

It was as if he had taken a stimulant; he felt very energetic,

"Knock knock knock."

Suddenly, a knocking sound came to his ears. Haruka Yuzan retracted the virtual panel, got up to open the door,

Mrs. Onodera, wearing a smile, stood at the doorway, looking down. The loose collar of her clothing appeared deliberately pulled down a bit, hiding the snowy view within.

"The ramen is ready, you can eat now, Mr. Haruka."

There was a trace of blush on madam's face, and the sweat on her forehead looked as if she had just finished some work.

The fully ripened apple was really tempting.

.......

The sky outside had already darkened, with a black curtain enveloping the night sky.

The neon night rose at this moment, the noisy life of glittering lights had no connection with this villa.

The living room was quiet, with only the occasional "slurp" of noodle soup.

A big bowl of ramen was quickly polished off by Haruka,

After eating breakfast, he had only had a piece of bread the whole day, plus working out at the gym, his stomach had been growling with hunger.

He wasn't picky about his food; he shoved a large piece of roasted pork into his mouth.

After eating his fill and drinking plenty, he planned to hit the gym; if all else failed, he could rely on adding some points to his "Free Attribute Points" to maintain a good figure.

"Did you not get enough to eat?"

Seeing Haruka Yuzan eat so quickly, Reiko Onodera asked with some concern,

The ramen was made for two people, with Haruka Yuzan getting a large bowl and she took a small one for herself; there were no noodles left in the pot.

Seeing her young tenant eat so quickly, she guessed he must have been very hungry. For a moment, she worried whether the ramen she cooked was enough for him.

But if she cooked too much every time and it all went to waste, that would be a concern too, especially since she had been living on others' expense for everything.

"No, if I haven't eaten enough, I can't finish this, so you can have it,"

Haruka Yuzan wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile,

"I'm full. It's just that Sister Reiko's cooking is so delicious that I ate it so quickly."

In reality, Haruka hadn't eaten nearly enough, but he could only say it was more or less enough. Fortunately, he had some beef jerky and other snacks he had bought previously in his room, which would suffice if he got hungry later at night.

"Mhm, mhm." Reiko Onodera beamed with joy upon receiving the compliment,

"By the way, Sister Reiko, did you find a job?" Haruka Yuzan asked, as though he suddenly remembered something.

When it came to the job, Mrs. Onodera brightened up at first but then quickly composed herself,

"I have found one for the time being. It's at the convenience store down the street. I work six hours a day with an hourly wage of 1,200 yen. It's a bit low, but I'm quite satisfied."

With no academic degree and no special skills, in a big city like Tokyo, she could only find such a job.

"No worries, it's just the start. Everything will get better."

Haruka Yuzan comforted her with a smile.

He had not expected that it was Reiko Onodera who had applied for the job at the convenience store that morning.

The world really is small, but it seemed like that was the only suitable job in the neighborhood.

[Tenant: 002]

[Name: Reiko Onodera]

[Daily rent to be paid: 1,000 yen or help with housekeeping services (paid)]

[Daily income generated: 6,400 yen (landlord shall receive 20% of the income, totaling 1,440 yen)]

[Tenant's Wish List:]

[1. Hope to find a suitable job (completed)]

[2. Hope to bring her daughter to Tokyo to live together (incomplete)]

[Having fulfilled one of Reiko Onodera's wishes, the daily wish list will start tomorrow. Landlords and tenants are expected to help each other out and create a better environment together.]

Having done nothing much all day, attending classes at school, and admiring the beautiful long legs of pretty girls,

out of the blue, he gained an income of 1,440 yen. Although it wasn't much, it was a steady and easy income.

After the meal, Haruka Yuzan lay on the couch, chatting with Otome Mizuko.

This woman, upon learning that Haruka got up early every day to exercise, insisted on joining him for a run.

After running, they would go to school together.

Haruka Yuzan, of course, wanted to refuse, but whether his protests would have any effect was another matter.

"Buzz, buzz,"

His phone vibrated,

and Otome Mizuko had sent him another message,

"At noon, you pinched my thigh until it turned red, and it still hasn't faded.[Photo]"

He quickly glanced over the text, then opened the photo,

The background of the photo was somewhat dark, as if the lights were off, but the long legs that occupied the whole photo stood out prominently. Their tenderness and smoothness were apparent even from the image, and the cute toes were painted with red nail polish.

From the photo alone, Haruka Yuzan could guess Otome Mizuko's current state—lying on the bed with her smooth long legs dangling in the air, a "click" and the beautiful moment was captured.

Looking over and over again, he finally put away his phone. No matter how good the photo was, it was far from quenching his immediate thirst. In the corner of the living room, Mrs. Onodera, who was kneeling on the floor, seemed even more enticing.
