The elderly butler with graying hair made another trip, signed the contract, and then left.
Chiba Shuichi watched the mother and daughter pair, who were thrilled about moving to their new home, and felt a pang of sympathy.
"The contract is signed, so shouldn’t we go check out the store in person now?"
"Oh, right." The mother and daughter replied in perfect unison.
What a pair of mother and daughter. Who signs a contract bef...

A strange, unsettling tension filled the air in the living room, like the calm before a storm. It felt as though I had arrived at a bad time.
While it wasn't exactly an emotional reunion, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in such an...

"Are you Akiyama-san's mother? If she hadn't said she was coming with her mom, I would have thought she was coming with her sister."
Shuichi Chiba's compliment wasn't insincere; Mrs. Akiyama did indeed look quite young. The only signs of age were the faint weariness on her face and the slightly rough skin on her hands.

[Fumika Ogawa Sense of Belonging +10, Administrator Monthly Salary +100,000 Yen.]
"That makes my monthly salary 500,000 yen now… definitely much better than part-time work." He muttered to himself, seemingly pleased that Fumika Ogawa was very happy and quite easy to get along with.
The sky was clear and bright today, and everything looked as if it had been reborn. Yesterday's heavy rain brought new life to the world.
"Splash, splash..."
The water of the Whispering River continuously slapped against the dock.

Though it wasn't thick, a faint mist hovered in the air, and a light drizzle occasionally fell. Watching the raindrops pattering against the window, Kim Han-Byeol felt her mood gradually calm.

This greatly extended the duration of the task.
“Almost done. Next, I’ll use a cotton ball to clean out the remaining. It might be a bit itchy, so please bear with it, Chiba-kun.” Fumika said with a slight tremble in her voice.

Chiba Shuichi watched them leave, not rushing to go to school but instead heading upstairs to check out the two gifts given by the new tenants.
The gift from Fumika Ogawa was a box of cookies. Holding it in his hand, the sweet, rich aroma hit him immediately. He opened the box. The cookies were unexpectedly cute, with a very girlish charm. Chiba Shuichi tried one and found it ...

“Even though they suspected me of having ulterior motives, they still signed the contract. Does this mean...?”

He recalled the high-waisted shirt, the tight-fitting pencil skirt, the torn stockings, and the revealing whiteness of skin, which mad...

Hearing Sayuki's words, Chiba Shuichi was momentarily stunned. He had almost given up on this deal, thinking it was going south and suggesting they check other places.
To his surprise, the situation took a turn.
“That's right. I also plan to open a shop here, alongside my sister.”
Sayuki’s lips curved into a mysterious smile as she nodded, her gaze wandering over Chiba Shuichi from head to toe.
Shuichi Chiba noticed the faint outline of a ring on Sayuki Ogawa's left ring finger as she removed her hand from his shoulder. He pondered while turning his gaze, 'So, this lady is also married. But neither of them is wearing a wedding ring. Could they be divorced?'
Sayuki Ogawa turned and draped her jacket over her sister, then asked, “May I use the restroom here?”
“Of course.” Chiba replied.

The rain poured outside, washing away the dust of the entire Sedona City. Raindrops fell from the sky like thousands of silver threads, cascading down the castle’s wide eaves in rows, resembling beautiful bead curtains and creating an ethereal visual effect.

Thud! Crack!
Thump!
After smashing the head of the last remaining Deadmen, I leaned against a tree. Around me, the remains of the Deadmen with shattered heads were scattered in the surrounding area.
Even though I carefully and methodically dealt with them one by one, it ended quickly. It was, quite literally, a one-sided massacre. However, I couldn’t be satisfied. Instead of feeling relieved, I was left with a nagging sense of unease.
As night fell, the beast-eared girls quickly finished their dinner and, to Lucas’s bewildered gaze, all ran off together.
“They really are in a hurry.” Lucas looked at the still-spinning bowls on the table and sighed with a wry smile, “I hope they don’t cause any more ridiculous incidents.”
He could guess that the beast-eared girls had gone off to investigate women's lingerie. He wondered what kind of psychological impact Annie might experience to...
