Early in the morning,
gentle sunlight shone on the pure white curtains, and a breeze wafted through the sheers, waking the sleeping person inside.
"Hmm..."
On a large white bed, two slender and fair arms stretched out from under the blanket.
Reiko Onodera sat up, stretched her waist, and the smooth blanket slid off her, revealing a perfect upper body to the air, a pity that such a beautiful scene was admired by no one.
She carelessly tied up her hair and triple-checked that she was indeed wearing something before picking up the loose nightgown beside her and slipping it on.
The deep blue nightgown looked very oversized, especially around the waist, loose and sagging.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, she pulled the collar up, hiding her fair skin.
The woman in the mirror was mature and sexy, and the faint worry on her face added an extra touch of charm. Reiko Onodera couldn't help but sigh.
The nightgown she was wearing had been bought while she was pregnant with Rika,
The nightgowns from before the pregnancy became a bit tight when worn after, who could have thought that she would grow a bit more after having a child?
She hadn't spent money on new ones and continued to wear this maternity gown until now, already five or six years...
After all, it's just clothing; as long as it fits, it'll do.
She shook her head, casting aside all the thoughts in her mind, patted her cheeks,
and spirited up. Onodera, your mother and daughter in the countryside are still waiting for you to send them money.
Seeing herself regain composure in the mirror, Reiko Onodera then entered the bathroom.
She came out of the bedroom and went downstairs
only to find the villa empty, without the familiar figure of the past. She glanced up at Haruka Yuzan's bedroom and felt a bit strange,
Was he still not up?
But then she thought about it, it made sense; today was a rest day, and students would probably opt to sleep in.
Choosing not to disturb him, she went to the kitchen to start preparing today's breakfast instead.
With the money Haruka Yuzan had given her yesterday, she had bought a lot of groceries, so breakfast options were somewhat more abundant.
When Reiko Onodera emerged from the bedroom with a plate of sushi, she just saw Haruka Yuzan also coming down from the second floor, looking drowsy.
"Good morning, Sister Reiko."
He yawned, still looking half-asleep.
"Good morning, Haruka," Reiko Onodera replied, showing a bit of surprise. After placing the sushi on the table, she continued, "Just finished making breakfast, go wash up."
"Hah... Yeah, okay."
...
At the dining table, having washed and freshened up, Haruka Yuzan had also regained his energy,
sipping miso soup and enjoying sushi, Haruka Yuzan found that ever since Mrs. Onodera arrived, the level of home-cooked meals had stepped up a notch.
It wasn't that they were using particularly expensive ingredients, but rather the chance to eat something fresh and hot.
Previously, when he was alone, he'd make do with just some convenience store fast food.
He might cook some meals in his free time, but typically only had time in the evenings.
The sushi came in several flavors, tuna, sea urchin, chicken... It seemed Mrs. Onodera had put a lot of effort into it.
"Huff huff."
She gently sipped on her miso soup and tucked her hair behind her ear; Reiko Onodera looked up and asked,
"Haruka, it's Saturday today, why are you up so early? Do you have something to do?"
"Nothing special, I usually get up this early. Now when I try to sleep in, I can't fall back asleep," he replied while stuffing a delicate piece of sushi into his mouth, a bit helplessly.
"Mhm, that's quite good actually, early to bed and early to rise makes a body healthy," Reiko Onodera smiled and said.
Though he got up early,
Yesterday, he prepared to stay up late. After securing Mrs. Onodera's personal belongings, Haruka Yuzan switched on the gaming console and battled alongside Kazumi Misaki until two in the morning.
It was only when I felt I could hardly keep myself together that I hurriedly shut off the game and lay down to sleep.
If I endured this drowsiness, I would be excited all night and then unable to sleep even if I wanted to.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt rather out of it and thought it was already noon, or at least nine or ten o'clock.
But when I checked my cellphone, it was still only six thirty in the morning.
Damn biological clock.
.....
"By the way, do you have any plans for today?"
Reiko Onodera suddenly asked.
"Hmm…" Haruka Yuzan thought for a moment, "I'll probably play games at home all day."
The perfect weekend is, of course, meant for gaming!
Lying flat like a salted fish.
"Hmm…"
Reiko Onodera nodded, "Then I'll come back at noon to cook for you."
Truly a qualified homemaker, thinking everything through so thoroughly, Haruka Yuzan didn't need to worry about anything at all.
Mrs. Onodera, with her maternal halo inherent.
After breakfast,
Reiko Onodera went to tidy up the house, and Haruka Yuzan went into the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time I came out of the bathroom, there was no one left in the villa; Mrs. Onodera had already gone to work…
A gentle breeze swept the white curtains on the balcony, revealing the peaceful and harmonious world outside.
Checking the wish list every day, without having to do much, I could bring in a few thousand yen in income,
A life of laying flat and collecting rent!
No need to work, eat well, stay pale, be happy, without a care in the world, that's the ultimate dream of a salted fish!
No, that sentence sounds familiar somehow,
Haruka Yuzan shook his head and brought up the virtual panel,
The Fat Cat's wish list remained unchanged, just as lazy as its attitude.
The changes in Reiko Onodera's wish list, on the other hand, were new.
[Tenant: 002]
[Reiko Onodera's Wish List:]
[1. Wishes to acquire a new set of pajamas (uncompleted)]
[2. Wishes to receive ten likes from customers today (pending)]
[3. Wishes to bring her daughter to live in Tokyo (uncompleted)]
[Reward for completing wish one: 5000 yen]
[Reward for completing wish two: 5000 yen]
The wish list always has a third item, and it seems that Mrs. Onodera really hopes to bring her daughter to live in Tokyo with her.
However, it all depends on Mrs. Onodera's own wishes; it wasn't his place to say much.
After all, Reiko Onodera had just started working, and she simply didn't have the spare energy to look after her daughter.
The other two lists, however, changed randomly every day, with monetary rewards for the tasks.
Want a set of pajamas?
Haruka Yuzan stroked his chin and thought for a while before turning back to the bedroom on the second floor.
Before long, he dressed neatly and went downstairs, deciding to check out the mall. He had a good idea of the size and wanted to complete it early so that a new wish list could be refreshed the next day.
Although I was too lazy to go out, money for nothing was not to be missed.
