This made Reiko Onodera's head spin in confusion.
"What, what do you mean?"
"For example, right now, you're in pain because you don't have 1000 yen, and I'm actually quite troubled too... Miss Onodera."
It seemed as though he had opened up a topic, and Haruka Yuzan babbled on non-stop, leaving Reiko Onodera feeling completely befuddled.
"Let's make it an equivalent exchange..."
"Equ, equivalent exchange??" Reiko Onodera widened her eyes, "I, I can cook for you, clean, and, and do the laundry..."
Is that all she could do?
Haruka Yuzan didn't know how to broach the topic; to say he wasn't moved by a beautiful woman would be false.
Belly dancing, pole dancing, are these things you can watch without paying?
He could only subtly glance at Onodera's wonderful body again,
giving her a knowing look...
Oh God, what kind of social animal must one be to openly ask a beautiful woman to dance for him every day!!!
The lady, embarrassed by the man's gaze, lowered her head. She understood, but it was really hard for her...
[Equivalent exchange, calculating value...]
Suddenly the system notification sounded,
Haruka Yuzan was taken aback, again?
[Calculation complete, equivalent exchange]
[Reiko Onodera must pay daily rent: Perform a sensual dance (belly dance, pole dance) for the landlord and pay an additional 100 yen per day — helps with cooking, laundry, and cleaning.]
[Exchange complete]
Now he didn't have to ponder over how to ask the lady to dance as a social animal.
Haruka Yuzan suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Reiko Onodera carefully lifted her head to sneak a peek at the boy sitting opposite her.
Realizing he had been staring blankly at her body non-stop,
Are all men like this?
She took a more careful look at Haruka Yuzan's facial features, which were indeed handsome,
Took a deep breath, her chest heaving dramatically as if she had made some sort of decision, and with a clatter, she suddenly stood up.
"Only a touch, nothing more..."
As she spoke, her slender fingers slowly pulled up her clothing, lifting the brownish-yellow sleeve bit by bit, revealing her incredibly fair skin along perfect curves.
Until it reached the neck her porcelain milk-white skin contrasted with the black fabric to create a striking visual impact...
"If there are any other requests, then I'll have to look for another place to live."
Reiko Onodera turned her head away, murmuring softly with her delicate face blushing, appearing even more beautiful and charming…
The words of refusal that reached his mouth were swallowed back down, at this moment, in this scene, a mature and sexy lady was lifting her clothes in front of him,
He was not a paragon like Shunshou Heki, nor did he have such a noble character to remain unmoved in the presence of beauty, to test a comrade's willpower with this? Alright, you succeeded.
His fingers touched...
Thinking back on his past life, he couldn't recall ever having seen such a scene with his own eyes.
No matter how vividly depicted in movies and shows, none compared to seeing with one's own eyes.
Ten minutes later, Haruka Yuzan helped Reiko Onodera carry her luggage into the selected bedroom,
"Well, I still want to welcome Ms. Onodera to the residence. I'll introduce you to the first tenant during dinner."
Standing at the bedroom door, Haruka Yuzan said with a smile.
"Are there other tenants?" Reiko Onodera's face flushed, her eyes somewhat evasive, the scene from before was too embarrassing.
"Then I'll prepare dinner."
"Alright. Then I'll be troubling you, Ms. Onodera."
"This is what I should do," Reiko Onodera said with a blushing face, "Mr. Haruka, you should go ahead and tend to your own matters..."
After she spoke, the door closed, leaving behind a faint, lingering fragrance.
The scent of a lady and that of a beautiful young girl seem to differ somehow...
Back in his room,
just as he was thinking of changing clothes and taking a shower,
"Meow~" Suddenly, a meow sounded from within the room,
a plump orange cat emerged from a corner, its large eyes appearing clear yet foolish.
[Tenant 001.]
[Species: Roast Meat (orange cat)]
[Status: Obese]
[Daily income generation: 1,000 yen]
[Daily rent required: Livening up the rental atmosphere (completed)]
Indeed, this was Haruka's first tenant, the fat cat—Roast Meat.
A "golden pig" that brought him an income of a thousand yen every day.
He had originally bought it to add some liveliness to the large villa, to make it seem less empty.
Unexpectedly, it became his first tenant. Since it could earn him money, Haruka Yuzan naturally treated it well.
Every day, it never lacked its canned meat or cat sticks, and gradually, the orange cat became as fat as a "pig."
Thinking of replicating this clever move, he considered starting an animal day-care or a cattery, then hiring a couple of people to manage it for him. He could just lay back and count his money.
But that same night, the System carried out an emergency update and fixed this bug, making the fat cat Roast Meat a very special existence.
Future tenants could only be beautiful girls who met the System's beauty standards, and then by fulfilling their wishlists, they could earn System rewards.
Roast Meat walked towards him slowly and affectionately rubbed against Haruka's shin.
"You couldn't possibly be hungry again, could you?"
Haruka Yuzan petted its chubby belly, which was quite comfortable with a meaty feel.
"You really need to go on a diet."
[Tenant: Roast Meat]
[Tenant's Wishlist:]
[1. Eat a can of cat food every day (not completed)]
[2. Eat a cat stick every day (completed)]
[3. Sleep when wanted, wake up when desired (pending)]
[For the cat Roast Meat, each completed item on the wishlist rewards 1,000 yen]
[Today's wish: Eat half a can of cat food more (not completed) Wish reward: 1,000 yen.]
The fat cat's simple yet blissful wishlist.
"I remember I clearly didn't feed you a cat stick today, how did you get to eat one?"
As if understanding what he said, Roast Meat flopped to the ground, meowing with its plump body.
This cat provides you with four thousand yen every day, which is more than you earn from a part-time job; dare you offend this "golden pig"?
With a resigned sigh,
he picked up the corpulent cat for a cuddle, then accessed the System,
[Landlord information: Haruka Yuzan]
