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

Upon reaching the community entrance,

Haruka Yuzan, who should have turned right, stopped in her tracks because inside the community, a little person was walking towards the entrance.

The girl was small in stature, resembling a green, immature little apple, dressed as a detective, her tender and delicate face adorned with large, frog-like glasses, looking extremely cute.

If it had been just the girl alone, the scene might have seemed quite ordinary, but her aura transformed once she held the leash of a large orange cat... plump as a mound of earth.

The hefty cat's size, in front of the little girl, seemed like the mount of a divine beast, if only... one could ignore those clear, foolish bean eyes...

The brash little person, coupled with the equally brash fat cat...

This peculiar combination ironically appeared somewhat comical...

Haruka noticed them, and Misaki and Roast Meat inside the community also spotted the two at the entrance.

"Haruka! Little Shimizu!"

"Meow meow!"

From afar, the girl and the fat cat enthusiastically waved their little hands in greeting.

Roast Meat, even rarer, began to run, and in an instant, the relationship between the girl and the cat switched,

"Oh dear!"

This time it wasn't her leading Roast Meat, but rather Roast Meat making Misaki Saki also run along with her short little legs.

"Roast Meat, slow down!"

Luckily, the fat cat also had short legs, so even if it ran, Misaki Saki could keep up, it's just... after running a mere hundred meters, it was indeed a bit much for that good-for-nothing cat,

By the time they reached them, both the girl and the cat looked as if they were about to pass out.

"Huff, huff huff... Roast... Roast Meat..."

Misaki Saki, arriving in front of Haruka, leaned on her thighs, gasping for air, hardly able to utter a complete sentence, completely lacking her previous vigor,

"Roast, Roast Meat, why run so fast when you're so fat? Really, it's killing me... huff huff..."

"Meow..." The fat cat beside also showed regret for its recent actions, the short hundred meters was almost a sprint dragged by the girl...

Haruka Yuzan, seeing the shenanigans of the girl and cat, couldn't help but laugh,

"You two, come exercise with me tomorrow!"

"Exercise?"

Hearing something that seemingly threatened her life, Misaki Saki's legs no longer felt weak, her breath no longer short, and she straightened up, lifting her cute little face confidently, saying,

"Exercise? I don't need it, you take Roast Meat with you, look at this fat cat, it's turned into a ball!"

"Meow!" Roast Meat seemed to disagree strongly with the girl's judgment, continuously meowing in protest.

"What are you complaining about? You've always been like this, look at me, so thin!" The little one shamelessly boasted one of her few merits, indeed very unripe...

But, overall, Misaki Saki was still quite plump, without the skinny, bone-wrapped feeling, instead, every part of her body was full of collagen, making her feel nice and soft when embraced...

The former comrades seemed to have a slight difference of opinion about who was the bigger good-for-nothing, and Haruka Yuzan smiled and said,

"Both of you, stop criticizing each other, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other."

"Meow!"

"Roast Meat is really fat, I almost got the collar stuck on his head!" Misaki Saki pouted, offering her own testimony to her advantage.

"Stuck on the head?" Haruka Yuzan was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, I almost got it stuck on Roast Meat's head! I should buy a larger size..." Misaki Saki lifted her little head, naively saying.

However, Haruka Yuzan spotted a hint of crystal-clear stupidity in those eyes, "Is it possible... that the collar doesn't go down over the head?"

"Huh? How could that be?" Misaki Saki's eyes widened in disbelief, her attractive pupils filled with astonishment.

Feeling as though the girl was beyond help, Haruka Yuzan sighed softly and turned to leave,

"Actually, the collar is a strap with a button that can be opened. It's placed directly around Roast Meat's neck, then you find the right slot... no need to stuff it down from the head..."

"....."

"...."

"Ah???!" Leaving behind one person and one cat disheveled in the wind...

"Meow meow!"

...

The afternoon sun was exceptionally warm,

The trio and the cat went to the café but didn't see Mami Takezawa; they heard from the workers that Miss Takezawa had just left because of some matter.

Haruka Yuzan didn't bother to find out more, just took a quick look around, said a few words, and then left the place.

The decorations of the café, perhaps because it was just the beginning, showed no obvious progress,

By the time they came out, it was already past five in the afternoon,

The setting sun tinted the edges of the sky with a hint of red,

The little one and the fat cat apparently found something fun not far away, behaving like a girl who never grows up.

The scene was beautiful and harmonious, enhanced by a comely young girl nearby, and a lovely lady waiting at home for dinner...

Life, it seemed, could get no better... and the future, it would surely get even better...

....

Pale cherry blossoms blanketed the entire campus, creating an aesthetically pleasing and romantic ambiance that lifted everyone's mood.

With the sports festival approaching,

The campus seemed to be submerged in an enthusiastic atmosphere, with students everywhere discussing the competitions.

Smiles were abundant on everyone's faces, especially the ace athletes in the clubs, who were keen to make a name for themselves at the sports festival...

The publicity committee had also put up colorful posters on the notice boards early on,

It was said that soon they would start preparing the venue and sorting the lists submitted by each class, with everything proceeding in an orderly fashion under the guidance of the seniors...

Even Miss Otome was busy for two days. Being the President, many things required her approval before implementation...

It was said that the school even formed a special committee, selecting two representatives from each class to participate, taking charge of communication and arrangements between the student council and the classes.

At that moment, the class teacher was picking candidates for the committee on the platform...

Whether designated by him or elected by students, several were eager to volunteer,

After all, in their minds, the protagonists in manga would definitely get involved in such events...

Ah, such enviable zeal...

Haruka Yuzan glanced at the scene in the classroom and felt an uncontrollable envy; some people always seemed to have endless energy, like... on the other side, Mikoto Tamamo...

Proactively, Mikoto had stood up early to canvas votes, her oversized oxford shirt bulging, and the adolescent boys in the class, faced with such a youthful JK girl, had no resistance at all.

Unsurprisingly, with Chiba-san not participating, she took the spot for the girls' group with an overwhelming majority.

After the teacher announced the results, the girl kept bowing in gratitude, garnering even more favor.
