Tokyo landlord: why is the panties of the lady next door in my house?!-Chapter 466 - 281 Reiko_2
```
However, he remained somewhat reluctant to give up, knowing that this could be the moment his family might ascend another class in the hierarchy, even if the hope was slim, he still wanted to try.
"Then, Miss Yumeko...."
But before he could finish his sentence, Kimura Yuxi gave a smile that appeared as friendly as possible:
"The Miss has other matters to attend to, we won’t disturb you any further, Master Igawa, we hope for a pleasant cooperation."
"Well, if that’s the case."
The brief exchange ended with the backdrop of a Bentley driving away, and Master Igawa, watching the receding vehicle, felt a prevailing sense of helplessness.
Indeed, the heads of these major families were not so easily met, and in the end, he didn’t even manage to get the personal secretary’s contact information.
His attempts to make a connection were completely thwarted.
Ultimately, leading to mere empty joy.
Inside the car, the black-haired beauty leaned back in the luxurious, soft leather seat, eyes closed in repose, her tranquil face untroubled by ripples, as if nothing from the outside world could impact her mood.
Now, the young lady’s attention was wholly on that boy.
"Miss, where shall we go next?"
Kimura Yuxi asked softly, "Would you like to rest at the villa first?"

Belonging to one of the most prestigious families in the Island Country, the Otome Family’s properties spanned the entirety of Tokyo, naturally owning real estate in Kanagawa Prefecture as well, it was unthinkable for them to stay in someone else’s property.
"No, let’s go straight to Haruka."
Otome Yumeko opened her eyes, at the mention of Haruka Yuzan, her peach-blossom eyes shone with excitement.
"Understood."
Kimura Yuxi nodded, and the black Bentley headed out towards the countryside.
....
"Eat up!"
Under the sun, Misaki Saki popped a peeled spicy shrimp into her mouth, one after another, enjoying every bite, the tender shrimp flesh dissolving, seemingly filling her world with sweetness.
"If it’s delicious, eat more, talk less."
Haruka Yuzan, watching the little one with her mouth smeared with chili oil, felt quite helpless:
"Look at Rika, isn’t she well-behaved?"
"No, not really...."
Receiving praise from the adult, Rika Onodera bashfully lowered her head, her collagen-filled cheeks blushing adorably.
The little one was shy, like a bud yet to bloom, who would wrap herself with petals in embarrassment at a mere touch to her heart.
Nibbling on shrimp with her chopsticks, the adorable sight even made Arisugawa Hoshina reveal a motherly smile.
"It would be nice to have a daughter as cute as Hoshina someday...."
The Little She-Devil, watching Rika eat, couldn’t help but murmur.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!!"
This caused Haruka Yuzan to cough violently.
"Hmm? Haruka, what’s wrong?"
Since the Little She-Devil spoke softly, Reiko Onodera, who was farther away, didn’t hear the comment, but she asked with concern to the coughing Haruka Yuzan.
"No, it’s nothing, I just choked a bit on the spicy food..."
Haruka Yuzan shook his head; the Little She-Devil was indeed startling with her comments, thinking of daughters so soon?
Hey, hey, hey, could you please look at my age?!
But then again, daughters do indeed seem very cute!!
Wait!! I seem to have never taken any precautions, could it be there’s really a chance??
Sister Reiko, Misaki, Hoshina, and even Mrs. Harada... it seems I only focused on the experience...
That intense sensation, truly incomparable to others.
This made Mariko Akiyama on the side hear it, the tender-faced lady couldn’t help but smile and say:
"Hoshina, you’re still so young, already thinking about children?"
"Ah? I, I...."
Arisugawa Hoshina’s face turned red, her bright eyes bashfully darting away.
Was that soft voice really heard?
```
Damn it! It’s all Haruka Yuzan’s fault!!
Haruka Yuzan: ??What does this have to do with me?
"No, it’s just that little Rika is so cute."
The delinquent girl was stammering, but for a moment just then, it really seemed like she was ready to have a child right now... When that time comes, Haruka Yuzan surely won’t be able to leave her, right....
Dangerous thoughts?!
"I see." Mariko Akiyama continued to ask:
"So, Hoshina, do you have a boyfriend or someone you’re interested in?"
"Eh? That’s right, Hoshina, do you like someone? It seems like we’ve never heard you mention it..." Discover exclusive tales on novelbuddy
Reiko Onodera was also looking over with curiosity.
"Ah? Me, me?"
Arisugawa Hoshina looked around, taking in everyone’s expressions.
Mm, Sister Reiko, who wears a face of concern, Chiba Shimizu, still indifferent and doing his own thing, Auntie Akiyama, who seems curious, Haruka with a normal expression, and... Misaki, who looks like she’s there for the gossip...
Mm, everything seems normal... normal my ass!!
It’s fine if the others are just curious, but why the hell is Misaki Saki being so nosy?! Don’t you know who I like?
The little she-devil glared at her and the latter, somewhat belatedly realizing, scratched her head apologetically.
I’m used to it, I’m used to it, I forgot little Hoshina likes Haruka.
"Hmm? You really like someone?"
Reiko Onodera asked out of curiosity but failed to notice that, aside from them, the mother and daughter, the others seemed indifferent... as if they already knew.
Arisugawa Hoshina took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then slowly said:
"Yes, there is someone I’m interested in."
"Aooooh!!!"
The moment the girl finished speaking, Misaki Saki next to her started howling excitedly as if she had discovered some incredible secret, even startling Roast Meat, who was napping in the corner, awake.
"Meow meow...."
That pair of bean-like black eyes looked around somewhat bewilderedly, as if frightened.
Arisugawa Hoshina’s face darkened and she pinched the little she-devil’s cheek, "Be quiet, no more howling."
This guy, even though she knew everything, still pretended to be so surprised.
It’s just... just like Haruka Yuzan!!
"Aooooh, I get it."
Misaki Saki, with one cheek being pulled, winced and pouted.
After making sure the little one wouldn’t say more than necessary, Arisugawa Hoshina finally let go of her hand and said with a hint of helplessness:
"But, I can’t tell you his identity for now."
"Hmm? Do I know him too?"
Reiko Onodera found it odd.
The delinquent girl found herself in a difficult position, wondering if she should tell Sister Reiko the truth? Or should she continue to deceive her?
"Alright, alright, let’s eat, shall we? Since Hoshina doesn’t want to speak, there must be a reason for it, so let’s not ask anymore, let’s eat! It won’t taste good if it gets cold!"
Seeing this, Haruka Yuzan quickly chimed in to change the subject.
If they kept asking, the delinquent girl might not last long before she cracked and spilled everything.
"Indeed, I’m sorry, Hoshina, I shouldn’t have asked you all those questions."
Having heard that, Reiko Onodera apologized to the delinquent girl with some embarrassment.
"It’s okay, Sister Reiko, you’re just concerned about me."
Arisugawa Hoshina breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze drifting towards the boy beside her, hmmph, this guy still has some responsibility, not choosing to let her face it all alone.
However, what the delinquent girl did not realize was her subconscious movement had been precisely captured by Mariko Akiyama, sparking a flicker of surprise in the lady’s eyes.
Could it be that Hoshina’s crush is Haruka Yuzan?
Hiss, it seems like Reiko’s potential rival has more competition than expected....
What Mrs. Akiyama couldn’t guess was that not only did Arisugawa Hoshina like Haruka Yuzan, but her progress was on par with her own daughter’s!!
