Tokyo landlord: why is the panties of the lady next door in my house?!-Chapter 344 - 214: Facing the Otome Family with Chiba! _2
The PUA’s words were clearly effective, leaving Otome Yumeko utterly baffled as the affection and infatuation in her eyes became increasingly intense. The hands that had been clasping Haruka’s arm tightened around him, almost as if she wished to merge them into one.
"Of course I won’t leave you, Haruka... We’ll always be together, what’s mine is yours, including my life. My future life will be built upon you... Even now, not being able to be by your side every moment is for our future, I’ve wronged you during this time...."
Love makes a person impulsive, emotion overriding reason, and right now, Otome Yumeko was in such a state, and even more intense than being passionately in love.
If Haruka Yuzan told her to die, she would not hesitate to abandon everything and then... pull Haruka with her in death.
You can’t understand it with normal reasoning, but... these are the expressions of their love, a love crazed to the point of terror.
It was clearly Haruka Yuzan’s PUA talk that Otome Yumeko not only deeply believed but also began to apologise proactively.
Chiba Shimizu couldn’t understand... Just as she couldn’t understand why she had followed the two of them out in the first place.
Skipping classes... asking for leave, these were things she wouldn’t even have considered a few months ago.
A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes as the extended black Honda stopped by the roadside, with a female assistant in a sexy OL uniform standing beside the car door.
Upon seeing the three of them approaching, she ran up to them and skillfully opened the parasol, holding it over the heads of Haruka Yuzan and Otome Yumeko with utmost respect,
"Miss, Young Master Haruka."
"Mhm."
"Hello." Haruka Yuzan greeted her with a smile and a nod, considering it an introduction. It would be strange if the Otome family’s trusted retainer didn’t recognise him.
The scorching sunlight was blocked, and after a moment’s hesitation, the assistant handed the spare parasol she was holding to Chiba Shimizu on the other side,
"Miss Chiba, here’s another one for you, please accept it."
The assistant knew well the relationship between the two misses, as her own miss had few friends, not to mention that Miss Chiba was the most important strategic partner of the Otome Family, the Chiba Family’s miss. She proactively offered the parasol, a considerate gesture the assistant certainly possessed.
How could such trivial matters require her own miss to speak up?
"Thank you, I appreciate it." Chiba Shimizu replied politely.
She wasn’t going to act like the characters in novels, refusing any small act of "kindness" from the Otome Family just to show she didn’t want to be associated with Otome Yumeko.
Such behavior was utterly foolish.
As someone who took great care of her fair complexion, Class President would never suffer needlessly over a moment of pride.
This was not the wisdom expected of a sage.
"Hmph!" Otome Yumeko snorted coldly, but said nothing more.
Seeing her own miss’s expression, the young assistant was visibly startled. Today... even though she was meant to meet Young Lady Haruka, why did it seem like her miss was still a bit displeased?
Could it be... because she had proactively offered Miss Chiba the umbrella without directions... But... such small matters never needed instructions before!
Helpless, the assistant looked at Young Master Haruka beside the miss, seeking help with her eyes.
Haruka Yuzan smiled wryly, finding the situation somewhat unavoidable. These two obstinate tsunderes, he had heard about love-induced tsunderes, but he didn’t expect to encounter tsunderes in friendship today.
In love, they passionately commit, but when with friends, although they care a lot, they always seem to have an expression as if they wish each other the worst death.
The short fifty-meter distance felt like a life’s worth of memories had flashed by, fortunately without any other incidents occurring along the way.
Upon reaching the car,
Watching as the two misses and the young master climbed in, the assistant heaved a sigh of relief, then ran to the front passenger seat.
Whenever Young Master Haruka would come by, it was necessary to leave enough personal space for the miss.
If she got too close now, she might not even have the chance to remember her life’s flash before her eyes before being thrown out by the miss.

It’s just... she wondered why Miss Chiba was there this time.
Shaking her head, the assistant stopped her wild guesses, for in their profession, it was a taboo to speculate unnecessarily about anything other than their boss and work tasks.
It was all too easy to get oneself involved...
Inside the car’s private compartment.
After Chiba Shimizu got in, she seemed to treat the car as if it were her own, casually taking a magazine from the small shelf next to her and beginning to read.
Her adept movements clearly were not that of a novice in Miss Otome’s private "beloved vehicle".
The delicate and fair legs were held together, their perfect curvaceous lines glistening under the sunlight.
It must be said, aside from her beautiful face and cool, detached demeanor, what truly captivated the heart were those straight, slender legs.
It incited an almost irresistible urge to reach out and touch.
Do you always read wherever you go, Chiba-san?
Haruka Yuzan sat opposite, watching the peaceful and serene literary girl, momentarily distracted.
However, the intense body heat and breathing next to him kept reminding him that this was not the time to be enthralled.
Miss Otome was right by his side! If she noticed anything, she would definitely drag him down to Tokyo Bay to die with her in a lovers’ suicide.
With Otome nearby, it was better to keep a low profile...
However, just as the boy prepared to avert his gaze, the Chiba Shimizu sitting opposite him lifted a very secretive smile.
Confident, indifferent, slightly excited.
It was as if... she was boasting about something, every move Haruka Yuzan made was within her expectations!!
"Cough cough, Otome, are you going to handle company business this afternoon, and I’ll just watch with Chiba?"
Haruka Yuzan still thought it seemed a bit foolish, as he was fine; even if he heard any secrets, he couldn’t do much with them.
But Chiba Shimizu was different! Even if the pure and noble Miss Chiba disdained such actions, after all... the Chiba family was on equal footing with the Otome family!!
He certainly didn’t believe their relationship was so good that they would share business secrets.
"Hm? Didn’t I tell you?"
Otome Yumeko blinked, her eyes filled with clarity.
"Did you tell me?"
Against the suddenly "innocent" girl, he instinctively had a bad feeling, as if after losing the madness and obsession, the only rationality left was... like a mischievous plan succeeding.
"I remember I mentioned it! "
Otome Yumeko glanced at Chiba Shimizu sitting opposite her, and then slowly said, "There’s nothing at the company this afternoon, I just want to take you to meet my father."
"Oh, I see...."
"....."
"...."
Haruka Yuzan was taken aback, then displayed an incredulous expression,
"What? Meet your father? This afternoon??"
"Yes!! How about it, are you happy?!"
Otome Yumeko rubbed her little face vigorously against his shoulder.
"Otome, didn’t you say we were meeting him on Saturday? Why did it suddenly change to today?"
After a brief moment of bewilderment, Haruka Yuzan gradually accepted the turn of events. A decision already made would naturally not change much. Instead of feeling surprised, he thought about how he should face the situation.
After all... it had to be faced sooner or later.
"He has a sudden matter on Saturday, has to fly to Europe, so... it was moved to today! Haruka, you’re not mad at me, right?" Otome Yumeko batted her big eyes, a hint of cunning swimming in their clear depths. Find your next adventure on novelbuddy
"How could I be."
Haruka Yuzan gently stroked the young miss’s soft, black hair, feeling somewhat resigned at heart.
No wonder Miss Otome agreed to have Chiba-san come along.
So this was where they were waiting for Class President, a run-away young lady going to see her father’s friend??
