Chapter 61: Chapter 58: A Night of Deep Conversation with Chiba Shimizu (Begging for Follow-up Reads)
The evening glow gradually faded, and the neon city ushered in its own nightfall.
The girls on Shibuya Streets had already changed into tank tops and short shorts early on.
In the late April and early May nights, the temperature was still very low, a slight breeze blowing, making one wonder whether the exposed delicate skin of the girls could withstand the chill.
Haruka Yuzan stood at the door of the room, just about to knock, only to find that the door wasn't closed securely.
With a light touch of a finger, it naturally swung open.

The room was pitch-dark, but thanks to the dim light in the hallway and the moonlight from outside the window, Haruka Yuzan could barely make out the inside.
The room was clean and tidy, in fact no different from before the girl moved in.
The only change might be the lonely little backpack on the bedside.
Chiba Shimizu sat by the window, the breeze brushing through her silver strands.
The girl turned her head, and the moonlight softly illuminated her coldly beautiful face, making her appear like a radiant goddess in the dark.
At that moment, Haruka Yuzan's heart seemed to stop beating.
"Um... I came to bring you some fruit."
With that, the boy walked quietly up to the girl,
"Why didn't you turn on the light?"
"Does it make a difference?"
Chiba Shimizu countered.
"Um... It seems like there's no difference, because I won't charge you for electricity separately anyway."
Haruka Yuzan placed the fruit plate on the table, looking out the window at the darkened night sky, which was only illuminated by the faint moonlight above and the dim streetlights on the roadside.
From here, only the corner of the cherry blossom tree was visible, its soft petals gently swaying in the air, a singular beauty not nearly as pretty as Misaki Saki's room.
Unfortunately, the beautiful girl was just one step too late in choosing the room.
"Why did you come out to rent a room?"
It seemed that the young lady was in a good mood today, willing to talk to the boy a bit longer,
"You always pride yourself on being smart, why don't you guess?"
It was a bit unexpected, this feeling... It was like the day they were passing notes to each other in class.
"Perhaps, all the drivers of the Chiba Family went on strike together? So, the young lady was forced to rent a room?"
"....."

......
A night without words, the evening breeze unknowingly touched many hearts.
In the morning,
Haruka Yuzan woke up from bed, habitually took out a new pair of briefs from the closet and put them on.
These past two nights, Mrs. Onodera always took his underwear away at the end saying she would wash them along with hers when she bathed.
A very attentive madam, she thought of everything for Haruka Yuzan.
After his morning workout,
Just coming back from outside the villa, he saw Reiko Onodera bustling about in the living room in her nightdress.
Moving toward her, he habitually wrapped his arms around the lady's slender waist, the familiar feeling still so soft and elastic.
But this time, Reiko Onodera blushed and pulled the boy's hands away.
"Shimizu is up, don't let her see."
Sure enough, before Haruka could say anything, that graceful figure walked out of the kitchen with two plates in her hands.
Her beautiful face was still cold, devoid of expression.
As if she hadn't seen the returning boy, she placed the plates on the dining table, today's breakfast consisting of sushi and miso soup.
"Good morning, Chiba Student."
Haruka Yuzan greeted with a smile.
The other side nodded, and that was the acknowledgement of the morning greeting.
And there she was again, the distant belle of high standing....
