Hana couldn't see the strange monsters in the bus at all.
"Hana! It's not what you think it is!!" Miko quickly waved her hand in denial.
"Then what is it?" Hana asked.
She now suspected that her best friend valued romance over friendship.
"Uh, that..."
"It's just... just ordinary friendship!"
Miko tried to defend herself while pretending to be calm.
[Ding!]
[Detected that Yotsuya Miko's favorability has reached 59% (ordinary friend)]
[Points +100]
"Just ordinary friends?"
"That's not bad either."
Tenya revealed a satisfied smile.
Unlike the simple-minded Rikka, Miko is obviously a very opinionated girl, so naturally, she wouldn't be so easily charmed.
Ahem... The charmed mentioned here refers to treasure chests and points.
He definitely doesn't have any other thoughts!
Really!!!
After getting off the train, Tenya arrived at a residential area.
"Apartment for rent, 12000 yen per month!"
"Hey, kid, want to rent a house?"
A man with a tank top, shorts, flip-flops, and a large bunch of keys hanging from his waist, the landlord, said.
Tenya said, "Uncle, I want a bigger room."
The landlord asked, "Kid, where are you from?"
Tenya answered, "I am from the state of Ohio."
"A fellow American! Why did you come to here to study?"
The landlord expressed his curiosity.
"I transmigrated here."
Tenya told the truth, playing the honest man.
"Tch~ If you don't want to say it, then just don't, There's no need to lie."
"I bet you came here for Japanese girls."
The landlord rolled his eyes, giving him an expression that all men understand.
Because when he was young, he also came here for this.
"Uncle, you're thinking too much." Tenya said
He just wants to get treasure chests. Is that too much to ask for?
"Alright, alright! No need to say a thing more..." The landlord scoffed.
He had seen many foreigners come to Japan to study, and most of them just wanted some "kawaii" anime girls.
"Uh..."
Tenya was speechless.
"Okay! I'll arrange the best room for you."
"140 square meters, four bedrooms and two living rooms, 75000 yen per month."
"There's also a pretty girl next door, what a bargain for you!"
The landlord took out an exquisitely shaped key from a large bunch of keys.
Under the landlord's lead, Tenya arrived at a high-end residential building.
Along the way, the tenants greeted the landlord respectfully.
Among them, there were many young and beautiful women, boldly sending flirtatious glances to the landlord.
This made Tenya stare in amazement.
"Envious, right! Your uncle is handsome and dashing!!"
The landlord had a smug look on his face, reaching out to smooth his bald head that had only a few hairs left.
"Indeed."
Tenya silently nodded in agreement.
They then took an elevator to the eleventh floor, this which was a luxurious area, with only two sections.
"Your neighbor is on the left, a high school student who looks about the same age as you."
Tenya glanced in the direction of the landlord's gaze. A cat paw wooden sign was hanging on the door, with the words "Yukinoshita" written on it.
Yukinoshita?
Cat paw?
Uh, it can't be such a coincidence, right?
A strange look appeared on Tenya's face.
Just at that moment, the door opened.
A girl in casual clothes walked out. She had exquisite features, fair and transparent skin, pink lips of just the right size, black hair over her shoulders, and a face that was so cute it was against the rules.
"Good afternoon, landlord."
"And, this..."
"Transfer student from Class 2 J of Sobu High School."
"May I ask, is there anything you need?"
Yukino first greeted the landlord politely, and then, when her azure blue eyes noticed Tenya on the side, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"This is a new tenant..."
"Do you know each other?"
The landlord asked in surprise.
"I don't know her."
Tenya shook his head.
In fact, he knew Yukino, but it was from watching an anime in his previous life.
This was the first time she had seen her in person.
"I am from Class 2 J of Sobu High School, Yukinoshita Yukino." Yukino reported her identity.
With her personality, it was unlikely that she would pay attention to transfer students, but the students in her class were discussing it, and she had passively learned some relevant information about Tenya.
"I am from Class 2 F of Sobu High School, Yoshida Tenya."
"Nice to meet you, Yukinoshita-san."
Tenya took the initiative to extend his palm.
Come, shake hands first! That way, I can get a treasure chest.
"..."
Yukino frowned slightly, but her face remained calm.
"I'm sorry, I was just sorting out the garbage, and my hands are not very clean."
"Excuse me."
After saying that, Yukino picked up a garbage bag and walked past them.
Watching Yukino's leaving back, Tenya's eyes flashed with a "sure enough" look.
As the name suggests, Yukino, with her cold personality, doesn't easily get close to others.
(T/N: Yukino means to be like snow.)
When she was a child, because she had good grades and was cute, she was isolated and bullied, resulting in her being wary of all strangers who tried to get close to her.
At this moment, Yukino even suspected that Tenya was following her, and had purposely rented a residence next to her.
As for the reason, it was very simple.
Because she has been cute since she was a child.
If Tenya knew her true thoughts, he would be very speechless.
"Heh~ This girl is quite aloof!"
The landlord chuckled and didn't take it to heart.
He led Tenya to another room.
Entering the room, the furniture and appliances inside were basically complete.
Tenya observed it and was very satisfied with it. He readily signed the lease contract with the landlord on the spot.
"Young man, if you need anything, find me on facebook."
After the landlord explained the details like water, electricity, and gas, he left the house.
"A new life..."
Tenya sat down on the soft and elastic leather sofa.
Looking at the 140 square meter home in front of him, his heart was filled with emotions.
In his previous life, his family of four lived in an old and small house of less than 50 square meters, and life was very depressing.
Later, the reason why Tenya participated in the public-funded study abroad program was also partly due to this.
It was just that he never thought that this flight would cause him to transmigrate.
Missing home? Naturally, he missed it, but his feelings were useless...
Since he was here, he would be at peace.
Anyway, he still has a younger sister at home who can take good care of his parents.
Tenya thought that he should live his own life first, and then make plans for the future.
"A transfer student, same school, and just happened to rent on the same floor of the same building..."
