NOVEL NEXT Chapter 174 Madam's Change _2
```
"That... that's great."
Upon hearing the boy's words, Reiko Onodera finally relaxed. As long as she was helpful to Haruka, that was all that mattered.
As for not being able to do without her... the thought made madam's cheeks flush with a slight redness.
Does this mean... a lifetime commitment?
"Hey, relax, Sister Reiko, if Haruka has anything to deal with, he will definitely tell us, no need to worry," Misaki Saki added at that moment.
After being reassured by the two, Reiko Onodera finally felt at ease,
"Then... Haruka, if you have anything, you must remember to tell me..."
"Don't worry, Sister Reiko, I won't be polite with you."
"Meow!"
To be honest, facing such a sincere madam, it's really hard not to be moved... um, and Misaki too. Even though she just made a few jokes to liven up the mood, Haruka Yuzan was still grateful, and he could more or less guess something.
Little She-Devil, sometimes carrying a bit of a tsundere trait---so stubborn!!!
The soft lighting, the bright living room, the comfortable atmosphere. Outside it was pitch-black, but inside the villa, it still felt reassuring, like home.
Arisugawa Hoshina really enjoyed such an atmosphere. After these days of getting along, except for that afternoon on the couch, the rest of the time stirred in her the urge to let go of the past and start anew.
It was a pity that every time she returned to the bedroom and saw the messages from her father asking for money, Spice Girl would be thrust back into reality...
Thinking of some unpleasant matters, a hint of helplessness flickered in Arisugawa Hoshina's eyes. She lifted her head, and her gaze met that of the handsome landlord,
Perhaps she felt embarrassed for having avoided Haruka's gaze before or maybe since the afternoon she lost her first kiss, her senses had become a bit dull,
Today, Spice Girl's pride and stubbornness would not allow her to continue to evade. Facing Haruka's gaze, she struck back fiercely! Staring right back at him!!!
As if to say, what are you looking at! I'm not easy to mess with!!
Hmm?
Such a fiery temper?
Haruka Yuzan raised an eyebrow, clearly not anticipating this,
A wild and sexy little mustang often draws more attention, especially one that is so adorably ferocious!
Thinking this, Haruka Yuzan subconsciously pulled up the virtual panel,
[Tenant: 005]
[Name: Arisugawa Hoshina]
[Charm: 9]
[Physical Strength: 7]
[Intelligence: 6]
[Tenant's Wish List:]
[1. Hoping someone would lend her some money...]
[2. Hoping to change her current life...]
[3. Hoping to do some things she likes...]
[Complete Wish List One, Reward: Increase in Arisugawa Hoshina's favorability (with a chance to trigger an Easter egg storyline)]
[Complete Wish List Two, Reward: A secret from Arisugawa Hoshina]
[Complete Wish List Three, Reward: Rewards will vary depending on the level of the Hobby (unknown)]
Glancing at the refreshed wish list, ignoring Misaki Saki, who was rubbing against him, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but fall into contemplation,
Lending money, huh?
It's true, she's of college-going age, yet she is out working part-time.
But even so, it's still not enough to meet her needs?
Looking again at Wish List Two and Three, he feels that Wish List One might be a breakthrough this time.
As for the mission reward,
he is quite interested in that Easter egg plot. As for increased favorability? Intangibles don't feel as compelling, and who knows if he will have the chance to get similar props or abilities in the future.
An intelligence of six... Hmm, there is room for maneuver.
"Haruka, when are we starting!!"
The naive and crisp voice broke the boy's train of thought. Haruka Yuzan snapped back to reality and turned to see Misaki Saki in a tank top with a teddy bear pattern looking at him with a grin.
The joyous smile on her fair and cute little face, her slender little legs swinging back and forth regularly as if... her little head was also catching up with the rhythm?
In her hands were a small notebook and a carbon pen, looking just like a little...
Just now, Haruka had said! He had to play the role of a secretary! To record everything about this meeting, which led the normally slack Misaki Saki to be especially concerned about tonight's discussion!!!
"Ahem."
As the "teacher-cum-boss," Haruka Yuzan coughed twice and then said with a smile,
"Everyone is free tonight, so let's discuss the coffee shop matters."
Hearing the boy's words, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked his way,
"Uh-huh, Haruka, just talk about anything you have to." Read latest stories on empire
Reiko Onodera brought over freshly made juice, cooperating perfectly with the conversation.
Noticing that everyone was looking his way, Haruka Yuzan also smiled and said,
"The main point is to decide on the name for the coffee shop, and also... the subsequent staff arrangement."
After speaking, he looked at Miss Chiba sitting in the corner of the sofa.
Then, Chiba Shimizu also closed the book in her hands. The pure and beautiful girl had put on a plain white nightgown, her already pale complexion looking even more delicate. Her gaze was calm, seemingly unaffected by the afternoon's events,
"The name of the coffee shop can be decided by everyone together. The staffing issue is that Reiko, Misaki, and you, Hoshina, will be mainly responsible, as Haruka and I are still in school and won't be directly involved in the management."
