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

They grew quieter as they continued to play.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Haruka Yuzan broached the topic to change the subject, awkwardly, but the atmosphere became even more awkward.

"Hmm..."

Misaki Saki seemed to have gotten used to not getting the desired materials from the game.

However, before the girl could respond, Haruka Yuzan spoke up first,

"I was thinking of eating eel. I've just spoken to Sister Reiko about it, and she's gone to the market to buy some."

Upon hearing this, Misaki Saki was startled, and her eyes showed a bit of surprise as she looked at the person beside her.

She was just about to say that she wanted to eat eel over rice.

What a coincidence?

Staring at the boy's handsome profile, Misaki's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

Turning her gaze away, she muttered to herself,

With looks like that, he must be a playboy.

"Stop looking at me; I know I'm very handsome," Haruka Yuzan said with a smile.

"I was looking at the 'unlucky one'!" Misaki Saki retorted with a pout, "Vain much!"

"And you have the nerve to talk about me! You've been playing all day!!!"

......

The two of them and the cat holed up in the bedroom, and at this moment, the twilight of the setting sun reached the most beautiful part of the day. The evening glow cast over the horizon, making everything so harmonious and lovely.

Roast Meat lay lazily on the floor, its orange fur looking particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

But indeed, they were having a streak of bad luck today,

By the time Reiko Onodera got home, neither of them had managed to get the materials they needed.

Mrs. Onodera, upon arriving home, first peeked into Haruka's bedroom to see the boy, but it was empty and nobody was there. Then, she moved on to Misaki Saki's room.

There she found the pair, passionately engrossed in their game.

"You go draw the hate; I'll charge up a big move."

"Damn, you're still charging your move? I'm about to die here — heal me!"

"You're a man, aren't you? How can you say you can't do it at such a young age?"

"Your sister!"

...

Caught up in the excitement, Haruka Yuzan and Misaki Saki were pressing the game controllers with both hands and feet, their arms squashed together, and the intensity of the battle was evident.

Roast Meat lay on the ground, blankly watching the two, with even a little bit of horror in its tiny eyes.

The little guy had always been by Haruka's side since it was a kitten and had never witnessed such a scene before.

Reiko Onodera walked in through the door and saw them playing around. A trace of envy flickered in her eyes.

It's good to be young, to have this carefree time in one's life that once gone, is truly gone.

"Sister Reiko, you're back?"

Haruka Yuzan turned his head and greeted Mrs. Onodera.

"Yeah, you guys keep playing; I'll go make dinner. I'll call you when it's ready."

Reiko Onodera nodded, with a tender smile on her face. This was not the life she was meant to live now.

However, if Mrs. Onodera were to just sit around and do nothing, she'd feel awkward.

"Sister Reiko, you're really too kind!"

Though they didn't get the Dragon Scales after clearing the instance, Misaki Saki still sweetly said,

"The food this morning was delicious, too."

When she woke up that morning, the familiar feeling of grogginess hit her,

As usual, the girl took out her phone to browse comic circles to see which big artist's work had been adapted into a film or TV drama today,

As soon as she opened it, she saw a message from Reiko Onodera: Breakfast was ready in the kitchen's warming box.

Breakfast? She couldn't remember the last time she had one.

The message left Misaki Saki feeling a bit dazed; she had moved house.

Officially began the cohabitation life with someone else.

Ran his fingers through his messy hair and casually threw on a T-shirt before stepping out.

There was no one else in the villa anyway. At this time, it was just him and that fat cat.

As soon as he walked out, he bumped into Roast Meat, who had just come out of the bedroom as well.

The other's gaze seemed to say,

"You just woke up, too."

"I'm not like you,"

Misaki Saki huffed coldly, as if to show she was different from the lazy cat, and with her bare legs hurriedly stepped past Roast Meat and went downstairs.

"Meow?"

After enjoying her first breakfast in several months, Misaki Saki patted her little stomach contentedly.

Looking at the gentle sunshine outside, she was certain that today would be a lucky day!

She then returned to her bedroom alone and began her day of relentless grinding.

The result was obvious, though.

Even toward the end, in order to farm for Dragon Scales, the girl had already begun to offer her sincerest prayers to the deities.

......

"Why are Dragon Scales so hard to farm? It doesn't make sense."

Looking at the green items scattered all around, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help scratching his head.

Now, in the room were only Haruka and Kazumi Misaki left. As for Roast Meat, as soon as Mrs. Onodera came in and mentioned food, it had already scampered after madam, wiggling its little tail.

"Today's such a bad day, where's the lucky day I was promised!"

Misaki Saki pouted, muttering discontentedly like one wronged.

The drop rate is really esoteric; sometimes you might strike lucky with a single hit, producing rare gear, while other times you could grind all day and not even a common item would drop.

The most disgusting thing is, right now, you are precisely in need of the common stuff.

"How about... just forget it? I'll go check out the trading market."

Misaki Saki seemed to have given up.

Although the Queen's Dragon Scales were rare materials, if one were to camp in the trading market for a couple of days, eventually they would show up.

Hearing this, Haruka was having none of it, for the wish list stated that they had to obtain them by grinding. If they were just going to buy them, then wouldn't his labor have been in vain?

"No way!"

Haruka Yuzan said decisively,

"You can't give up halfway! If you buy them, wouldn't today's whole day have been a total waste? We must grind for them! One more billion times!"

The young man's eyes were earnest and resolute, and seeming to be moved by that determination, Misaki Saki too raised her little fist and nodded vigorously!

"Right! Let's do it one more time!"

Those who work hard eventually reap rewards, and that includes those who grind in games.

With a conviction to win, under their joint efforts, they finally managed to farm the Queen's Dragon Scales.

At the moment they dropped, Misaki Saki and Haruka Yuzan both collapsed on the floor synchronously,

Turning their heads to look at each other, it seemed like they could see that camaraderie in their eyes!

A relieved and content smile spread across both their faces, filled with emotion.

[Misaki Saki's wish list completed, task reward: a set of Misaki Saki's autographs, five thousand yen.]

[The autographed set has been delivered to the landlord's bed, please check for it.]

It didn't appear in his pocket, so it seemed like a large item?

With that in mind, Haruka Yuzan couldn't wait to go back to his room.

When he opened the door, he found a few items on the bed.

At the moment he made out what the items were, Haruka Yuzan immediately locked the bedroom door from the inside to prevent others from seeing.

The young man had guessed wrong; it wasn't anything big, actually, they were rather small, but these three items were arranged in an inverted triangle position.

Two band-aids were placed parallel on the top, and the little bear was at the bottom...

Each had black writing on them.

What a trap!
