Chapter 209 The Junior Employee (Extra update, day 3, please subscribe)
Tokyo, Shinjuku Ward, at the entrance of a rather high-end rental apartment building, the dim light flickered faintly, like the fire of a firefly in the dark night.
Although the community was upscale, it was still a bit distant from the bustling areas.
At this time, most residents were either working overtime or soaking in izakayas.
The streets and the community were also quiet, appearing somewhat tranquil.
"Mr. Haruka, do, do you want to come up for a cup of tea?"
After saying this, Yaguchi Risa immediately regretted it,
With only a man and a woman alone together, if anything were to happen, her small frame would definitely be unable to resist.
By then, she feared that even screaming her lungs out, no one would come to her rescue.
Wuwuwu.
But, she was just being polite, Haruka Yuzan probably wouldn't really want to come home with her... right?
"Sure, I am a bit thirsty actually."
However, Haruka Yuzan agreed without any hesitation,
"We really are in sync, aren't we!"
"Um, are we?"
Yaguchi Risa wore a smile uglier than crying.
"Of course."
......
"Wel, welcome."
The lights turned on, revealing a warm and simple little room setup.
A coffee table, a sofa, a TV, and the occasional pink decorations that gave a tender feminine touch added a heartwarming feeling to the space.
It was clear she had put her heart into it.
"Please, go ahead, I'll, I'll pour the water."
Back at home, Yaguchi Risa seemed even more nervous, as if more constrained than when she was at the villa.
"Hmm, it's alright, no need to be nervous, anyone would think I was a bad guy if they didn't know better!"
Sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Haruka Yuzan waved his hand casually, trying to make her relax a bit.
But Yaguchi Risa immediately stood up again and began to apologize, "So, sorry, Mr. Haruka, I, I didn't mean to!"
Whether she bowed too vigorously or those slender legs simply couldn't support the weight of her upper body, when the girl bowed deeply, she lost her balance and fell forward right into Haruka Yuzan's arms.
"Ouch!"
The girl cried out in pain as her upper body landed right on top of Haruka Yuzan's palm, which was resting by his thigh.
Flipping his hand subconsciously, he discovered a more terrifying fact: the huge potential of the junior employee was not something that could be grasped with just one hand.
For a moment Haruka Yuzan was stunned in place, himself having only thought about teasing the junior employee a bit; he had never expected such an accident to occur.
"Um! It, it really hurts!"
Yaguchi Risa raised her head with some pain, her big watery eyes filled with a layer of mist, and as she felt the movement on her chest, a tempting rosy blush involuntarily spread across her fair cheeks.
......
In a room at the end of the second-floor hallway of the villa.
A young, naive figure was hunched over a desk, fervently writing something.

Does the great manga artist also plan to branch out into writing novels?
Such a dutiful and hardworking role model indeed!
However, listening to the content of the naive voice echoing from the room, something seemed slightly off...
"Hehehe!! Once Risa starts working at the café, I'll use my inspections as an excuse to live at the café every day and develop a good relationship with her."
"Extra attention from a leader to a shy junior employee, to let her truly experience the difference in treatment from other employees and win her over with my affection. Special Note: 1. Make sure to stand up for little Risa when Mr. Haruka bullies her. Even at the risk of having my little behind spanked, I must bravely help Risa!"
Under the dim desk lamp, the figure hunched over the table cast a long shadow, resembling a little devil with horns.
The little guy was giggling to himself, and even the shadow on the wall seemed to sway in response.
"Special Note: 2. Keep a close watch on Haruka Yuzan and act quickly and decisively!"
"Hmm-hmm!"
Misaki Saki put down her pencil, looking at the densely packed plan she had written, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seemingly enraptured by the thought of her future happiness, she licked her lips and a look of contentment spread across her innocent, adorable face.
Here I come, little Risa! o(*////▽////*)q
Poor little Misaki had no idea that while she was busy drafting her plans, someone else had already set their own in motion.
.....
"Achoo!"
"What's, what's the matter, Mr. Haruka?"
At the entrance of the apartment building, Yaguchi Risa asked with concern, her face flushed,
"Is it because the summer nights are cold and you've caught a chill?"
"I don't think so," Haruka Yuzan rubbed his nose and said with a smile to the girl before him, "Maybe it's because Risa was thinking of me just now, which is why I sneezed."
"Don't, don't be ridiculous." Her face, already rosy, became even redder as Yaguchi Risa lowered her head, avoiding Haruka Yuzan's gaze, "Alright, alright, it's getting late, Mr. Haruka, you should head back soon..."
Her gentle voice was like a tickling spring breeze.
Haruka Yuzan decided not to tease the junior employee any further, shrugged his shoulders, and bid his goodbye, "Okay then, I'll be off. Contact me by phone if you need anything."
He noticed that the young employee's stutter seemed to be innate and not because she was nervous. Even though they had just had a lengthy conversation, she still stuttered, unable to speak smoothly.
She was clearly much older than him, but she appeared especially cute and charming.
Hearing the boy's words, Yaguchi Risa quickly lifted her head and gently nodded.
"Mm, mm-hmm."
Watching his retreating figure, her beautiful eyes unwittingly revealed a faint sense of loss.
In the dark hallway, with the boy's figure vanishing, silence gradually settled in.
The door closed, obscuring the last slivers of light.
