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

"Yumeko, is that you?"

Haruka Yuzan was somewhat curious.

Since the end of the last round, the young lady hadn't looked at her hand of cards, her attention entirely focused on Haruka Yuzan.

She simply had no mood to see what her hand was.

Noticing the gazes from the others, Otome Yumeko finally picked up the playing cards.

After a glance, she spread them out on the table.

"I am the 'King'."

When the girl said this, there was not the slightest bit of dissonance.

It was as if she was born for this role, exuding a sense that screamed, I am the queen.

However, it was clear that a queen would not care about such a childish status.

Especially when there was Haruka Yuzan, the "Regent King" present.

"Haruka, what command should I give?"

Clasping the boy's arm, Otome Yumeko said with a blissfully happy face.

"Yumeko, you said the 'King' can give any command."

Looking at the sickly girl in his arms, Haruka Yuzan showed a warm, spring breeze-like smile.

"I want to give a command with you....."

"Good girl, that's not appropriate, you won since you should be the one to command."

Haruka Yuzan gently ruffled her small head with tenderness.

Roast Meat, nestled in a corner of the room preparing to sleep, suddenly widened its pitch-black bean eyes a little upon witnessing this scene.

"Meow?"

Why did it always feel like the shovel officer's move had a familiar scent?

The black pupils revealed a trace of foolishness, and the chubby, dumpling-like face was full of confusion, as it thought hard for a while before finally realizing.

"Meow meow meow???"

(Isn't this the expression the shovel officer only has when petting me, the noble cat?)

Oh no, he has another cat!!

Why would this happen, is it just because I've been eating too much lately?

Looking down at its plump little belly, a hint of incomprehension flashed in the fat cat's eyes.

It's not that fat! Meow meow meow meow meow...

No one paid attention to the "heartbroken cat" huddled in the corner, abandoned by the scoundrel.

With her eyes gently closed, Otome Yumeko savored Haruka Yuzan's caresses.

Just like... a tamed little wild cat?

After enjoying the warmth for a while, Otome Yumeko slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Just as she was about to give a random command, her gaze inadvertently fell on Chiba Shimizu.

The girl wore a pure white nightdress, her delicate skin radiating a water-like softness under the light.

Indeed, it was somewhat dangerous to have such a person beside one's boyfriend.

Thinking it over, she kept the command she was about to give at the bottom of her heart, and said with a smiling countenance:

"Fine, I will issue the command: from now on, all commands given cannot involve any intimate contact with Haruka Yuzan.

If there's an accidental harm, then change the command."

With those words, the thoughts of everyone present changed again and again.

They had various ideas and wanted to speak, but... as they prepared to speak, they realized they simply couldn't refute.

The 'King' is above all else.

Was the command of Otome Yumeko too much?

It merely raised the ethical baseline for the subsequent game.

It was also aimed at Haruka Yuzan alone, and whether from the perspective of the game or logic, there was no issue.

It was so reasonable that everyone felt as if it were targeting them specifically....

"How about it? Haruka, you shouldn't have a problem, right....."

Watching everyone's emotions play out before her, Otome Yumeko smirked disdainfully before turning her attention to a boy nearby.

"No way, how could there be? You are the 'King,' so naturally, what you say goes; we will all unconditionally follow," the boys responded.

Haruka Yuzan flashed an awkward smile.

Although a little disappointed in his heart, he had been prepared for this all along.

With that delicate wildflower of a goddess sitting right beside him, did he ever stand a chance to get close to another beauty?

All those thoughts he had before were just envious musings.

If he dared to kiss someone today, he guessed he might as well line up at Tokyo Bay to register...

"The list of light novel protagonists condemned by ill-tempered heiresses through the years, into the depths of Tokyo Bay..."

"I knew I could count on you, Haruka, you're the best!!!"

Otome Yumeko draped herself around his neck, cooing and cajoling.

Her coquettish behavior nearly turned Haruka Yuzan's bones to jelly.

"If there are no questions, then let's continue with the game," Haruka Yuzan waved his hand, signaling everyone to proceed. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

"Alright, the game goes on!!!"

Misaki Saki eagerly gathered up the playing cards once again.

The previous command seemed to have little impact on the Little She-Devil.

Today, the evil little imp had a clear objective: to collect "kisses from all the beautiful girls!!!"

And what about Haruka Yuzan?

Heh. An expendable toy at best, Misaki had grown tired of playing with him! [Proudly planting hands on hips!!]

"Hmm?"

Haruka Yuzan frowned, feeling like someone was plotting against him.

A quick glance around, and unsurprisingly, his gaze finally landed on the immature figure beside him.

It must be this little guy...

Sometimes, the brainwaves of two people do align pretty easily.

After all, they sparked against each other on a daily basis... Friction generates electricity, which can also be explained by science... right...

"Okay, let's continue with the game," chimed in Arisugawa Hoshina, though somewhat reluctantly; her ultimate goal wasn't to get up close and personal with Haruka Yuzan.

After all, if she wanted, they could play around privately whenever.

Her goal for today was to ask questions; the commands wouldn't affect her.

Chiba Shimizu remained silent, her peachy eyes regaining their calm tranquility after what had transpired.

Sitting there, serene and elegant, she wasn't stirred in the least.

But Reiko Onodera, after what had just happened, seemed lost in thought.

"Ah, I hope Haruka doesn't get the wrong idea..."

"If he sees me kissing Shimizu, will he mind?"

"Will he think I'm a woman of loose morals and abandon me?"

"What do I do... No! I must explain it to Haruka later..."

"Yes! I must make it clear, and if that doesn't work, I'll have to appease him with that move..."

Just thinking about those embarrassing poses Haruka Yuzan once made her assume, madam's cheeks couldn't help but heat up again.

Her bashful eyes were like a blooming peach blossom. Could a ripe peach feel shy too?

As for the "King's order" issued by Otome Yumeko?

Madam wasn't going to make Haruka uncomfortable, let alone issue other indecent commands...

And what about Mariko Akiyama?

The beautiful lady remained well hidden from start to finish, playing the perfect invisible woman.

The game continued.
