 After that, we decided to tell the real estate agent my room preferences and actually go see the property.

 At first, the real estate agent, Ms. Tora, recommended a 2-person room, and Ms. Monoka was really interested in it, but…

 ”No. She has an orphanage, so we won’t be living together.”

 So, we ended up asking for a one-person room instead.

 After discussing our budget, floor number, and the surrounding environment, we were shown a certain property.

 When we arrived, the place was a bit tucked away from the main road, but it wasn’t too far, and there were many shops and restaurants nearby.

 The building itself was 5 stories tall and looked a bit old.

 However, once we went inside, it was well-maintained, and I heard that the resident manager was doing a great job.

 ”I heard that a few years ago, a merchant group affiliated with me rescued her on the way, and since she had no family, she asked to work with them. She was still small back then, but she was smart and worked hard, so they decided to hire her. When the previous manager retired a little while ago, she took over.”

 ”Oh, really…”

 From what I could see inside, it seemed like they found a good person who wouldn’t slack off just because she became the manager.

 While I was thinking that, Ms. Tora knocked on what seemed to be the manager’s door.

 *Knock, knock, knock!*

 ”Is Ms. Sakura there?”

 Sakura, huh… that’s a name that reminds me of my past life a bit.

 In front of me, a voice answered from behind the door.

 ”Yes!”

 *Tap, tap, tap… click, creak.*

 ”…”

 When the door opened, I was a bit stunned by Ms. Sakura’s appearance.

 She had black hair and looked very Japanese.

 Well, since humans look pretty much the same as in their past lives, it wouldn’t be strange for someone with a Japanese appearance to exist.

 As for the body shape… judging by the clothes, her waist seems to be positioned high, and her curves are quite clear, similar to Iris.

 She approaches Ms. Tora.

 ”Ah, Ms. Tora. Hello. What brings you here?”

 ”Hello. I’m here to show the renter the room today.”

 ”Oh, I see. Is that woman over there?”

 Ms. Sakura seems to think that Ms. Monoka is a potential tenant, but Ms. Tora denies it.

 ”No, it’s the man next door.”

 ”Eh?”

 At Ms. Tora’s response, Ms. Sakura furrows her brows and looks at me.

 She seems to dislike this… and my suspicion was confirmed by her next words.

 ”Um, you see, all the residents here are women, so having a man around could cause some issues…”

 ”Eh?”

 At those words, I let out a similar sound.

 I hadn’t heard anything about that… When I looked at Ms. Tora, she began explaining to Ms. Sakura.

 ”Don’t worry. This Mr. Koji has a girlfriend named Ms. Monoka.”

 ”Koji…? Ah, no. But, you know, it could be just a whim or something…”

 It seems she’s worried that I might hit on the residents since I could be unfaithful.

 Since Ms. Monoka is supposed to be my girlfriend, I have no intention of making a move…

 Well, since I’m related to Frederica, I was supposed to get a room introduction, so the girlfriend setup with Ms. Monoka was no longer necessary.

 Still, I wonder why Ms. Tora is trying to introduce this place to me?

 Ms. Tora pointed at Ms. Monoka’s chest to argue back.

 ”Hey, look! He can do whatever he want with ‘this’, right? So, he won’t go after other women!”

 ”Ugh…”

 Ms. Sakura looked like she understood but still wasn’t convinced.

 Seeing her attitude, I thought for a moment and then raised my free right hand towards Ms. Monoka.

 ”Um, is it okay?”

 ”Ah, yes! Go ahead!”

 She quickly agreed, understanding my intention, and I moved my right hand.

 *Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze…*

 ”Mm…♡.”

 ”So envious…”

 ”……”

 Ms. Monoka let out a small sound as I squeezed her chest, while Ms. Tora looked on with envy.

 Ms. Sakura silently showed an exasperated expression at the scene.

 Hmm, I thought I was making it clear that I didn’t need to go after other women, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.

 ”See? He can play around like this, so it’s all good!”

 Ms. Tora seemed to catch on to my intention and said that, then followed up with a strong point.

 ”Besides, Mr. Koji was introduced by Mrs. Frederica, so he won’t do anything to ruin her reputation.”

 ”Huh? Is that really true?”

 Ms. Sakura doubted it since it sounded like she heard it from someone else, but then Ms. Monoka explained about me and Frederica, convincing her.

 ”…So, Mr. Koji is an adventurer, but he’s not rough, and he mainly uses the room like a storage space.”

 ”Hmm… well, if that’s the case, I understand. So which room is it?”

 Reluctantly convinced, Ms. Sakura asked, and Ms. Tora told her about the room she intended to recommend to me.

 ”The fifth floor has ‘that’ room, and the 4th floor should have a few available rooms… the ones next to each other are empty.”

 ”That means… Room 404, right? I’ll go get the key.”

 Saying that, Ms. Sakura disappeared into the back of the door, and I started to hear some noises from a distance.

 At that moment, I decided to ask Ms. Tora something that was on my mind.

 ”Um, is there something on the fifth floor?”

 ”Eh? Oh, it’s just that someone has rented out the entire floor.”

 ”I see. That must mean the rent is quite high…”

 ”Well, I guess that person is okay with it.”

 ”Wow…”

 So, she must have money and enough stamina to not mind being on the fifth floor with only stairs.

 I was curious about that person’s influence and what she would think about me living below her, but then Ms. Sakura returned.

 ”I brought the key. Is Ms. Tora going to show him around?”

 ”Yes. There might be other visitors, so Ms. Sakura, you can go back to work if you want.”

 ”Got it. Um…”

 Ms. Sakura handed the key to Ms. Tora, and I thought she would head back to the management office right away, but she looked at me with a face that seemed to want to say something.

 Is she really uncomfortable with a guy living here, even if it’s through Frederica’s introduction?

 I was thinking that it wouldn’t matter if we looked for another place when Ms. Sakura finally spoke up.

 ”…How long are you going to keep doing that?”

 ”…Huh!?”

 ”Mm… hmm…♡.”

 Realizing what she meant, I noticed I had been groping Ms. Monoka’s chest.

 Since there hadn’t been any big movements, it seemed my hands couldn’t pull away from the pull of her chest.

 This is… I feel like I can understand what Ms. Tora is saying.

 Anyway, as we move to the room, I pull my hand away from her chest.

 ”Ah, I’m sorry. I just…”

 ”Hah… N-no, please feel free to…♡.”

 ”Um… well, maybe next time.”

 I had the urge to say a little more, but I held it back and decided to let her guide me to the room.

 ”…I hope she’s okay.”

 Hearing those words from Ms. Sakura, I followed Ms. Tora up the stairs ahead.

 *Thud, thud, thud…*

 Considering the chance of running into someone, I released my arm from Ms. Monoka and moved to the second position in line.

 Ms. Tora’s backside was right at my eye level, but I had to keep checking my surroundings while looking at it.

 That said… there was only a handrail on the stone wall, and the wooden floor creaked a bit, but nothing else really caught my attention.

 Since there were no lights installed in the hallway with 5 rooms on one floor, everyone probably had to bring their own light when walking around at night.

 Also… there was a staircase at one end of the building, so it would be a bit inconvenient if there wasn’t another staircase on the opposite side.

 When I asked Ms. Tora about that, she replied,

 ”Oh, there’s only a staircase on this side. So in case of an emergency, please use the windows to exit.”

 While listening to that, we reached the third floor, and just then, a woman who seemed to be a resident came out of her room.

 Since it was the second room from the front, it must be Room 302.

 ”Ah, Ms. Mira. Hello!”

 ”Oh, Ms. Tora. Hello. Are you showing that person around today?”

 As Ms. Tora called out to her, the woman who came over looked like she was in her mid-twenties and was slender.

 I think she’s a beauty with slightly long light brown hair, but she also looks a bit unfortunate…

 That’s just my impression, though.

 ”Yes, that’s right. This is Mr. Koji.”

 As Ms. Tora said this to her, Ms. Mira showed a slightly surprised expression.

 ”Oh, that’s unusual. Well, it’s not like this place is exclusively for women, so it’s not strange.”

 ”I was just about to show you the room, so it’s not confirmed yet.”

 Hearing this, she turned to me, bowed slightly, and introduced herself.

 ”I’m Mira, a resident here. Please take care of me if you decide to live here.”

 ”I’m Koji. If there are no issues, I’ll choose this place, so please take care of me then.”

 ”Yes. Well, I’m going shopping, so… Aaah!? “

 Ms. Mira was about to go down the stairs, passing by us… but her handbag almost got caught on the inner railing, and as she tried to twist her body to avoid it… since she wasn’t holding onto the railing yet, she stumbled and missed a step.

 ”Aah!”

 Quickly, I reached out and grabbed her.

 ”Nn~♡.”

 I prevented Ms. Mira from falling down the stairs, but as I supported her from below, my hand was on her chest, and my fingertips were pressing against a slightly firm part.

 I was about to make an excuse, but Ms. Mira, who had regained her balance, thanked me shyly.

 ”Thank you.”

 ”No, I’m sorry, my hand…”

 As I said this, letting go of her, she shook her head.

 ”No, no, it’s nothing compared to the possibility of getting injured from a fall.”

 ”Oh, I see.”

 Well, she could have died in the worst-case scenario.

 ”Well, I’m off then.”

 ”Yes, be careful.”

 ”Yes. If you decide to live here, then…”

 Ms. Mira said and went down the stairs without any issues.

 …She’s quite ‘well-endowed’ for her slim figure.

 With this thought in mind, I followed Ms. Tora, who resumed the tour.
