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

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice rang in my ear, as if Chiba Shimizu, sitting on the sofa, had been attentively aware of the movements here all along.

"It's five thirty now, I think you'd better wake up Otome Mizuko."

Five thirty already?

Sister Reiko must have gone home by now to start cooking dinner.

Picking up the mobile phone beside me, I indeed found several unread messages.

After replying to Reiko Onodera, Haruka Yuzan also propped herself up and smiled, saying,

"Chiba-san, you and Yumeko have such a good relationship, even knowing about something like this."

Chiba Shimizu furrowed her delicate brows and did not speak. If it... weren't for Haruka Yuzan, the two of them would surely be close friends by now...

Of course, if it only existed in hypotheticals, what had happened and the experiences could not be changed.

Otome Mizuko wouldn't leave, and she naturally didn't want to forget those past experiences.

Perhaps... this is the dramatic nature of fate at random moments...

"Yumeko, wake up, it's time to get up, it's getting late."

Having no other choice, Haruka Yuzan directly kissed that rosy little mouth.

"Mmmm..."

Her beautiful dream interrupted, a feeling of irritation just beginning to rise in her heart, but as soon as she opened her eyes and found it was Haruka Yuzan, she slowly came to her senses.

The originally resentful expression on her face somehow became... happy and pained?

Following that, Otome Mizuko clung onto Haruka Yuzan, her heated body pressing tightly against her. This time, the young lady's kiss was wild and infatuated.

Nipping and kissing fiercely, she tried hard to leave her own mark.

Was she trying to cover up the traces of Chiba-san's kiss just now?

Silly young lady!!

"Yumeko, that's enough, stop kissing."

"No!! Mmm! From now on, Haruka, you can only kiss me!!"

Looking at the relentless young lady before him, Haruka Yuzan also felt a slight helplessness in her heart.

But there was no other way. When pushing the young lady away, she dared not use too much strength, fearing that she might hurt the girl.

Finally, Chiba Shimizu, who had been sitting on the sofa all along, couldn't watch any longer. She gently closed the magazine in her hands, slowly stood up, and walked to the bedside, saying coldly,

"You two play, I'm leaving."

At this time, Sister Reiko was already preparing dinner. If she continued to entangle with Otome Mizuko, she didn't know when she'd be able to go home.

This place, she had already begun to feel some disgust for it.

Having said that, the girl left the room directly under Haruka Yuzan's pleading gaze.

So decisive that she didn't even leave her scent in the air.

At the moment the door closed, Otome Mizuko finally slowly released the arms that had been tightly wrapped around Haruka Yuzan.

Her entire being seemed to exhale in relief. Was the pressure from Chiba-san on the young lady so great?

"Yumeko, you..."

Seeing the young lady's timid little face looking down, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but to ask.

"Haruka, tell me the truth... Your villa, is it already rented out...?"

Suddenly a subtle voice came from the room, black hair hanging down, covering that beautiful face.

Haruka Yuzan was startled, the topic change was a bit too sudden; she hadn't quite caught on yet.

"Yumeko, why would you ask that?"

"I...I haven't investigated you, just...just a feeling I have... I'm so afraid, Haruka, I...I'm really so scared...."

Otome Mizuko spoke softly, she didn't even have the courage to lift her head and look at the boy in front of her.

The dim yellow sunlight filtered through the large French windows, falling upon the disheveled bed where a girl just as disheveled sat, Haruka Yuzan sat opposite her, just quietly watching her.

The young lady had made promises to herself, and she would definitely keep them strictly, so...if only Haruka Yuzan would say now that he hadn't gone to look for tenants, then it could be like before, continuing to weave an enchanting bubble for the young lady.

But...what about the next deception?

What about the rest of life? Or should it wait until Otome discovers it herself?

"Haruka!"

At that moment, Otome Mizuko raised her head suddenly, her delicate and pretty face already covered with shiny tears.

The proud and heartless young lady had never cried before, but...today, this was already the second time.

Her mouth opened, but she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Yumeko, I don't want to deceive you..."

With that, he embraced the young lady in his arms, whispering tenderly in her delicate ear.

Otome Mizuko, her eyes marred with trails of tears, just how clever was the young lady?

Always trying to play the role of the silly, lovable girlfriend in front of Haruka Yuzan, but...as soon as she left Haruka Yuzan, many things couldn't stand scrutiny.

"Yes, Haru, Haruka, I really didn't mean to think that way, every, every day I can't help it, I'm really scared...scared of losing you one day...sob sob sob..."

Even so, Otome Mizuko had not sent anyone to investigate where Chiba Shimizu had been living since she ran away from home...She was afraid that the truth would shatter the beautiful dream she had so carefully spun.

But...

Even if it was a deception...if possible, set it to last a lifetime...never wake her halfway through...

"Yes, I know everything, and I'll tell you, Yumeko, remember that I love you..."

Haruka Yuzan took a deep breath; life had no save points, one wrong step, and he might face an abyss.

But...he no longer wanted to continue deceiving the innocent girl in front of him.

This young lady, who loved him wholeheartedly and served him as her life and everything, deserved to know the truth! Sweet dreams would one day be pierced, and when it came time to face reality, decisions had to be made, right?

Perhaps...now was the best moment...

"Actually, there are already tenants in the villa, and they are all very nice; we are like a family...do you know? Yumeko, they are also pitiful people...I even opened a café..."

Haruka Yuzan spoke slowly, and he suddenly found that while telling the story of the villa, there wasn't the panic and unease in his heart he had anticipated, but rather a sense of relief and happiness.

He explained the events of the past few months to the young lady, of course, omitting any mention of their more progressive relationships.

Otome Mizuko just listened, tears the size of beans cascading down unchecked, the young lady no longer wishing to wipe them away, her burning heart now as cold as the tears at the corner of her eyes...

Gathering all her courage, she wished to face reality, only to find that the cruelty was beyond what she could bear.

After the eloquent story was told, there was a long silence; Haruka Yuzan, feeling a pang of heartache, gently wiped the tears from the girl's eyes.

"Sob...sob sob..."

Otome Mizuko sobbed a couple of times, and lifted her head slowly against his large hand, her bright eyes now devoid of their usual sparkle.

Misty and overcast.

"Yumeko..." Haruka Yuzan felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help but whisper softly.

"I don't want to hear any more! I don't want to hear any more!! All of this is fake, right?! All of this is fake, right? Haruka Yuzan, tell me quickly! All of this is fake!!"

Suddenly, Otome Mizuko fiercely grabbed Haruka Yuzan's arm, like a girl who had lost her light, descending into endless darkness, becoming both frenzied and fragile...

Haruka Yuzan felt an even sharper pain in his heart and hugged the young lady tightly into his arms, no matter how she struggled, just holding her firmly.

As time went on, Otome Mizuko's struggling gradually subsided, her voice also grew softer, reverting back to the pitiful girl begging not to be abandoned by her master...

"Haru, Haruka, tell me, all of this, all of this is fake, isn't it? How could you treat me like this!! Sob sob sob!!"

"I, I had planned everything...just waiting for our future together...why are you doing this to me...Haruka Yuzan..."

"So, Haruka, let's go die together now!!!"
