"So you're willing to live with three people now?"
"Is Miya Harukiko the man, or am I, Fujiwara Shunsui, the man?"
For the first time, Fujiwara Shunsui doubted himself at that moment.
However, calming Kojou Yuna's emotions was the most important thing.
This "Shinjuku Nightclub Queen" could only return to her normal state on days like this.
After all, she was also a girl whose feelings needed to be looked after,
regardless of status or time.
Actually, Fujiwara Shunsui had long ago asked Nissho Taro to buy Kojou Yuna a pair of comfortable shoes.
He lowered his head, picked up Kojou Yuna's high heels, which were practically a symbol of her status,
and then placed the pair of slippers, which looked very comfortable, by the bed.
After standing up, he said to Kojou Yuna:
"Let's go! Yuna-chan, let's go home!"
Fujiwara Shunsui's words were extremely sickeningly sweet, not at all like something a Syndicate member would say.
Not to mention he was nearly 190cm tall.
This was the contrast that made it hardest to accept.
Since Fujiwara Shunsui entered the room, Kojou Yuna's embarrassment had not stopped.
This caused Kojou Yuna's cheeks to remain flushed.
As Kojou Yuna was about to get out of bed, she just stared at Fujiwara Shunsui, unsure what to say.
Instead, she finally forced out a single sentence through gritted teeth:
"Can you please act somewhat normal!"
"Is there something abnormal about me right now?"
Fujiwara Shunsui was astonished,
because he didn't understand why women were always so contradictory.

She clearly felt favorably toward him internally, yet her face showed annoyance, and she even had to verbally attack him!
"Hmph! Just wait until we live together!"
Of course, this thought could only be secretly muttered in his heart.
Harumizu was currently terrified that one wrong word would make Kojou Yuna change her mind.
Outside the ward, Nissho Taro watched in disbelief as Fujiwara Shunsui and Kojou Yuna walked out, chatting and laughing.
Of course,
the one talking was Fujiwara Shunsui, and the one laughing was also him.
Kojou Yuna still maintained her cold, frosty expression, but the difference from usual was that Nissho Taro noticed Kojou Yuna's face seemed slightly flushed.
Nissho Taro immediately asked:
"Yuna-chan, are you alright? Why does your face look a bit red?"
"Nani?"
Kojou Yuna hadn't expected her subtle change to be noticed by Nissho Taro. She instinctively pressed the back of her hand against her cheek, seemingly trying to gauge the temperature of her face.
She then quickly explained:
"Maybe it was a bit hot in the ward just now, so my face feels warm."
"I see!"
Fujiwara Shunsui, who was already walking ahead carrying Kojou Yuna's high heels, almost burst out laughing when he heard the conversation behind him.
But he had to maintain his persona. His authority as the "Department Head" couldn't be lost in front of Taro, or even Kojima Bin.
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.
Kojima Bin walked at the back.
He glanced at the open window in the ward and the curtains swaying in the breeze,
then looked at Kojou Yuna's reddened earlobes from behind.
He looked thoughtful.
But in this situation, given his status,
he seemed to have no right to interject, so he swallowed his words and silently followed along.
Outside the apartment complex, the group gradually got out of the car.
Only Kojima Bin and Fujiwara Shunsui remained inside the car.
Originally, Fujiwara Shunsui had invited Kojima Bin to come home for dinner while they were in the car,
but the other party refused, citing the need to "go home and catch up on sleep."
This was because Kojima Bin knew
that attending a family dinner with three people whose statuses were not on the same level as his,
would most likely make everyone uncomfortable.
Of course, Fujiwara Shunsui didn't think that way.
He was genuinely grateful for Kojima Bin's efforts,
and he could also feel the man's drive within the "Syndicate."
Just then,
Fujiwara Shunsui thought of something he decided to entrust to him.
"I have something here that might require your help!"
Hearing that Fujiwara Shunsui needed his help, Kojima Bin, sitting in the driver's seat, nearly twisted his entire body around.
"Through fire and water, Lord Harumizu!"
Kojima Bin's tone sobered Harumizu. Fortunately, they were here, and fortunately, the other man was wearing a seatbelt.
Otherwise, he didn't dare imagine how awkward the scene would be.
"It's nothing serious, actually. It's just that after this incident, I feel like the surveillance system in the apartment isn't very secure."
"I want to know if you have anyone around you who is skilled in hacking, who can help me check if the apartment's surveillance has been compromised!"
"Also, this must be done secretly. Don't let anyone find out!"
When Kojima Bin heard the four words "done secretly," the light in his eyes instantly brightened.
In his view,
this was a mission that couldn't even be told to Nissho Taro.
After working hard for so many years,
he finally had the chance to become a core member!
"Rest assured, Lord Harumizu, I will definitely handle this matter well!"
After Fujiwara Shunsui got out of the car, he gave Kojima Bin an "OK" gesture and then quickly jogged to catch up with Nissho Taro and Kojou Yuna!
... Coincidentally,
just as he reached the apartment elevator entrance, Fujiwara Shunsui saw that familiar figure.
Nakamura Aoi clearly noticed him too, and bowed to Fujiwara Shunsui, saying:
"Hello, Landlord!"
Fujiwara Shunsui also symbolically greeted the young girl who was his tenant.
Then everyone stood together in front of the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator,
Nakamura Aoi secretly glanced at the two people beside him.
She often saw the large bald man in the surveillance footage.
In fact, there were a few times when he came knocking on her door, but she didn't dare respond from inside her room.
The beautiful woman next to him, wearing cotton slippers, caught Nakamura Aoi's attention.
This was because she clearly saw the Landlord holding a pair of high heels in his hand.
Although she had seen this woman in the previous surveillance footage,
it wasn't until they stood together
that she truly felt Kojou Yuna's beauty!
Especially that cold, aloof aura.
She could only sense it when close up, not to mention the woman was currently wearing slippers.
She couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if she were wearing high heels!
Nakamura Aoi silently compared herself to Kojou Yuna in her heart,
and found that she was completely defeated!
"Ding—"
Nakamura Aoi, full of internal drama, scurried into the elevator as if trying to escape.
The three others also entered the elevator one after another.
It was the sharp Kojou Yuna who sensed a subtle strangeness.
Inside the crowded elevator, all four people,
except for Nissho Taro, had their own secret thoughts!
Nakamura Aoi: "Am I about to have a Landlord's wife?"
Fujiwara Shunsui: "Now that I'm living with two women, I really have to wear clothes after showering before coming out! But given the relationship between the three of us, maybe I don't need to? Damn this System!"
Kojou Yuna: "What's the deal with this young girl? Could she be a college student Fujiwara Shunsui is secretly keeping?"
Kojou Yuna: "Is this big idiot trying to hide three beautiful women in his apartment?"
Kojou Yuna: "No way, I must talk to Sister Kiko about this!"
PS: I've completely let loose. Please trust me, okay? I'm outlining every day! I'm trying my best not to mess up the plot! I just want to know if anyone is following this. As long as there is one person, I will complete this novel to a million words!!
