Tokyo landlord: why is the panties of the lady next door in my house?!

Chiba Shimizu didn't say a word; the turned head seemed to be the declaration of a girl's stubbornness.

Silence was more powerful than words, and Haruka Yuzan didn't continue to press the issue, simply hugging the young girl in his arms tighter silently.

Seeing this scene, Kawada Aika couldn't help but reveal an envious look. For a girl poisoned by light novels, there was simply no resistance to such a scenario...

Even though she wasn't the protagonist, from the perspective of a bystander, it was a beautiful and heart-fluttering picture,

"I'm so envious of Mr. Haruka and Miss Chiba's love..."

Upon hearing this, Miss Chiba, already showing signs of self-destruction, blushed, her gaze stubborn and cool as ever, but the lingering flush on her face was even more enchanting.

And speaking for Haruka Yuzan with a smile, said,

"Kawada will also encounter love of her own."

"I wish that day would come!" Kawada Aika muttered softly, her face filled with envy seemed to become dismayed, Stay connected via empire

"Even if that day comes, I doubt it'll be as romantic as today..."

"Everyone should be the protagonist of their own story."

While the three were chatting here, the host on stage had already started organizing the third round of the couple's challenge.

However, compared to the previous two rounds that tested the boys' physical abilities, the last round would challenge the girls.

Coffee art... Making a cup of coffee filled with love for the person you admire.

Only at this moment did Haruka Yuzan realize that this was a themed event in the coffee shop, not some street challenge.

Indeed, a coffee shop should organize events about coffee, not hugs and kisses... Although, he enjoyed those...

But coffee art?

Facing something completely out of his knowledge base, Haruka Yuzan turned his gaze to the girl beside him.

"Can you do it, Chiba?"

The madam could drink coffee, but as for making coffee and doing art, he had never seen her demonstrate it.

When Chiba Shimizu heard that the third round was a test for her, she momentarily returned to her earlier state. Rationality and coolness returned to her eyes, everything was the familiar feeling, except for the remaining flush on her cheeks...

"I can."

A simple answer, as always, she was still very trustworthy, Chiba-san!

"Have you done it before?" Seeing such confidence in the madam, Haruka Yuzan asked out of curiosity.

"I haven't." Chiba Shimizu shook her head honestly. Unless particularly interested, why would a daughter of a great family personally make coffee?

Moreover, Chiba-san, a classical type who favored drinking tea, would be unlikely to do so.

"Then... should we find a video to learn now?" Since it's come to this,

it was fine for him, but Chiba-san had put in so much effort, it would be a shame to stop now.

"No need," Chiba Shimizu shook her head, then added, "I've read about it in books before, it's no problem."

Since they decided to run a coffee shop, she naturally wouldn't leave everything to others like the boy beside her. Whether it's selecting coffee beans or making coffee,

Chiba Shimizu and Reiko Onodera had both studied it. Even madam had suggested, why not buy a coffee machine at home for them to try.

"You've read about the theory in books?"

"Yes, after all, if we really want to open a coffee shop, and the manager doesn't know how to make coffee, Reiko-sis and I need to learn a bit more."

Her cool voice carried a hint of grudge. Chiba Shimizu expressed strong contempt for the boys' behavior of constantly participating in PUA yet doing nothing substantial.

"That's slander. I know a little about coffee; it's just that we don't have the equipment at home for me to practice."

Scrutinized by his girlfriend, Haruka Yuzan touched his head with a guilty conscience, defending himself while also resolving to find an opportunity to learn how to make coffee after returning home.

Wait, girlfriend?

The subconscious thought made Haruka Yuzan startle, looking down at the young girl in his arms. Her youthful and beautiful body was tightly pressed against his own, and the thin shirt she wore seemed very pitiable and vulnerable, normally bulging out because of the girl. Now, eased from its usual strain by his chest, it was wrinkled and deformed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Above the snow-white neck was that exquisitely beautiful face with captivating eyes that carried a hint of grievance. Such intimate actions seemed like both had subconsciously grown accustomed to them.

Girlfriend? It was undeniable, such a madam truly resembled a youthful, beautiful, and sticky-sweet girlfriend...

A brief illusion seemed only natural,

Seemingly noticing Haruka Yuzan's gaze, Chiba Shimizu also reacted, with her face turning red and her gaze flitting away as she realized how close their bodies were stuck together, yet she made no move to struggle...

"All right, let's invite our successfully advanced couples to participate in the third round of the couple's challenge!"

In the meantime, as the three chatted,

the stage was quickly set by the waitstaff with several small tables, upon which sat various machines and materials for making coffee.

Coffee grinders, hand drip kettles, filter cups, filter papers...

After some simple arrangements, the sweet and good-looking host spoke again,

"No matter what life brings in the future, we at QWSH Coffee Shop hope everyone will remember this day, this beautiful moment!"
