Tokyo landlord: why is the panties of the lady next door in my house?!-Chapter 375 - 230 Finally, finally... (Happy New Year)
After bidding farewell to Asami Mami, it was already noon.
At this time, Reiko Onodera had also sent a message to the two of them, asking if they wanted to come home for lunch.
After replying to Sister Reiko, Haruka Yuzan turned his gaze back into the room.
Arisugawa Hoshina was touring the apartment building with her mother and sister.
The apartment was on the eleventh floor, delicately decorated, and ready for immediate move-in.
Its layout was bright, with good ventilation from both north and south, the breeze stirred the white curtains, and the searing sunlight lazily streamed in through the open balcony, giving a truly cozy and comfortable feeling.
The sunlight was just right, gentle and beautiful, to be able to enjoy such weather felt like a stroke of luck...
"Wow, sister, are we going to live here from now on?"
With a timid voice, Arisugawa Mai asked, holding the hand of her little Spice Girl sister.
A completely new living environment and a décor quite different from their own home made Arisugawa Mai quite reserved.
Out of curiosity mixed with a bit of worry and timidity, she feared any of her actions might damage the room.
After all, she could not afford to compensate if anything went wrong... Uh-uh.
"Yep, we will live here from now on!"
Ever since she left that home, the smile never left the little Spice Girl’s face.
Being able to resolve her greatest regret, her whole being felt much more relaxed.
As for borrowing money from Haruka Yuzan?
Well... after all, she had borrowed several times before, and if the amount was bigger this time... she would just compensate him more.
Last time, it was a kiss + little hand, little mouth.
This time...
Maybe a bit more...
"Little Hoshina, how do you like this apartment building?"
Haruka Yuzan approached them, sniffed the faint fragrance on the little Spice Girl, and looked forward to the virtual panel with great anticipation.
The wish list one hadn’t shown completion yet, could it be that he needed the approval of Madam Ishihara and Mai before he could complete the task?
With that thought, Haruka Yuzan asked Ishihara Yoshiko and Arisugawa Mai who were beside him,
"Auntie Yoshiko, Mai, how do you find this place?"
"Ah?" Ishihara Yoshiko was obviously not expecting the young man to seek her opinion.
In the elegant lady’s mind, such decisions were typically made by men alone...
Was he really concerned about her opinion?
Being valued like this for the first time in many years, Ishihara Yoshiko was momentarily stunned before she hurriedly replied,
"No, I have no objections, everything is fine."
Arisugawa Mai also obediently nodded her head.
[Congratulations to the landlord for completing Arisugawa Hoshina’s wish list one.]
[Task reward: Lucky Roulette x1]
[Remaining wishes x2]
Was the task completed? It seemed it really did require the approval of Ishihara Yoshiko and Arisugawa Mai.
So, how shall he fulfill wish list two?
"Okay, Mom, Mai, you two go tidy up the room and luggage first, we’ll go out for a meal in a bit."
It seemed Hoshina had expected her mother would say that, so she said it carelessly.
"Alright, then we’ll start tidying up."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ishihara Yoshiko led Arisugawa Mai into the room.
For a moment, only Haruka Yuzan and Arisugawa Hoshina were left in the living room.
"Little Hoshina, you have borrowed money from me again, huh! How about deducting it from your future salary?"
Haruka Yuzan moved closer, saying with a mischievous smile.
"Hmph! No way! I will pay you back! But you can’t just deduct it from my salary!"
The little Spice Girl huffed as if resigned to her fate, muttering under her breath.
Although she didn’t know the exact rent, this location suggested that a month’s rent would consume her whole month’s salary...
This meanie!
"Oh, so you’re planning not to pay me back?"
Haruka Yuzan arched an eyebrow, moving closer to the little Spice Girl, captivated by her exquisite and flashy makeup and unable to suppress the flutter in his heart.
When he first saw Kitagawa, he too had thought about someday finding a Spice Girl girlfriend.

He never expected that day to come so quickly.
Indeed, Little Hoshina’s look did bear some resemblance to Kitagawa.
As their eyes met, the one who was more smitten always blushed and lowered her head first, even the tsundere golden-haired delinquent girl was no exception.
The golden, gentle sunlight streaming through the balcony illuminated the touching and captivating profile of the Spice Girl.
"So... this time, I’ll have to charge interest," Haruka Yuzan whispered as he lightly brushed the Spice Girl’s hair that fell beside her ear,
"Let me think about how much I should charge."
"Hmph!"
Arisugawa Hoshina’s cheeks flushed, her lips pursed, giving off a look that said, "You can take what you want, I don’t have money, but if you want my body..."
Just as the two were about to have a sweet moment, a gentle and timid voice came from within the room,
"Hoshina, can you come here for a moment?"
Ishihara Miko called for Spice Girl. Haruka Yuzan shrugged, took out his cell phone, and sat down on the sofa, while Arisugawa Hoshina glared resentfully at the boy before finally walking into the bedroom.
It wasn’t long before the conversation between mother and daughter could be heard from the room.
"Hoshina, renting a place here must be very expensive... Do you have any extra money?"
Ishihara Yoshiko looked worriedly at her elder daughter.
Just as Haruka Yuzan had said, she should have been enjoying her own romance at school, yet she started working early because of her mother.
To be honest, the reason the lady could resolve to leave Arisugawa Daichi was also rooted in guilt toward her daughter.
If she kept pretending to be ignorant and carrying on with life, the one who would suffer in the end was only Hoshina...
It would be better to start working while she still could, to make it up to her daughter...
"I do have a little money, not much, but you take it first, Hoshina..."
As she spoke, the lady took out a stack of bills tightly wrapped in a plastic bag from her suitcase and tried to hand it to the Spice Girl in front of her.
At a glance, it seemed to be several tens of thousands of yen.
"I also have a little in my bank account. You take it first, and I’ll transfer it to you later..."
Apart from keeping a little for Mai’s living expenses in the next two days, this was all of the lady’s savings...
The money she had earned from work, almost all of it had been used to support the family, and because Arisugawa Daichi was around, sometimes even Arisugawa Hoshina had to bail them out... Your journey continues with novelbuddy
The lady’s life was hanging by a thread, unable to withstand the slightest setback.
Any unexpected event could mean an end to her life, too hard to get through...
Arisugawa Hoshina stared blankly at the bundle of bills wrapped in plastic in her mother’s hands, the plastic bag looking very wrinkled.
The bills inside were of different denominations, neatly lying there, with no exception, all appearing to have been quite wrinkled but carefully smoothed out and put away by the lady...
For a moment, emotions surged in her heart, filled with deep reflection...
"It’s alright, Hoshina. I’ll look for a job tomorrow, and then there will be money."
Noticing that Spice Girl seemed reluctant to accept the money, Ishihara Yoshiko also carefully revealed a heartwarming smile.
This expression was as if she was afraid that Spice Girl wouldn’t accept her goodwill...
"At least, I can pay the rent..."
Saying so, Ishihara Yoshiko’s voice faltered, her head bowed in a mixture of guilt and insecurity.
It was hard to imagine that this was a conversation between a mother and daughter...
Coming back to her senses, Arisugawa Hoshina also took a deep breath, tried to calm her emotions, and finally embraced the beautiful lady tightly, saying with a choked voice,
"Mom, it’s really not necessary. My life is quite good now. Otherwise, why would I have thought of getting you and Mai out? Don’t worry..."
"But..."
Being held by her daughter like this, Ishihara Yoshiko felt a bittersweet happiness, as if she hadn’t experienced it for a very long time...
However, before she could finish her words, Spice Girl interrupted her,
"It’s okay, Mom. You saw it; the apartment is rented by Haruka, and I didn’t spend any money. I appreciate the thought, but you keep the money to live with Mai... Our future will definitely get better and better..."
"Sister, Mom..."
At this moment, Arisugawa Mai, who had been standing quietly to the side, shuffled over, tilting her little head and wrapping her arms around them as well.
The warm room was filled with the fiery sunlight, and the family of three embraced, creating an extraordinarily touching scene.
After hearing the commotion in the bedroom, Haruka Yuzan let out a sigh of resignation.
Ah, this family could finally settle down.
After spending a while longer in the room reminiscing, Haruka Yuzan took them out for a meal.
Although the apartment was ready to move into, no one had bought any food, so if they wanted to cook, they would have to go out and shop for groceries in the afternoon.
And so, they stayed busy in the apartment all afternoon.
Time reached around six in the evening. The setting sun began to slowly descend, casting orange clouds across the sky, while the passersby hurried along, their day’s activities perhaps just starting.
Ishihara’s lady was bustling in the kitchen, and the little girl sat on the sofa watching television.
"Sister, are you going to leave after dinner..."
Arisugawa Mai murmured softly, seemingly reluctant to part with her sister.
Especially after starting a new life, she wanted her sister to spend more time playing with her.
"Yes, I’ll come to play with you again tomorrow..."
Arisugawa Hoshina patiently combed the little girl’s hair.
In that moment, the Spice Girl, leaving aside her exaggerated and sensual outfit, was the very image of a gentle and sensible older sister.
Having taken her mother and sister out of that home, what remained was to work hard to make money, and also... to repay Haruka Yuzan.
It was impossible to live with her family, for one thing, it was inconvenient for work, and for another...
Thinking this, Spice Girl couldn’t help but cast a glance at the boy beside her.
She was younger than Sister Reiko and more mature than Misaki; she should have an advantage, right...
It should be so...
After dinner, Haruka Yuzan and Arisugawa Hoshina also bid farewell to the mother and daughter.
The life ahead was a new chapter waiting to be started and faced...
