101 Let’s Practice the Alphabet! (1/2)

While shopping, Mika suddenly received a text message from her mother.

”The new tenant who moved next door to Haruta-kun is a young missus who fell in love with him after being saved, just like you.”

It wasn’t a long sentence, but a lot of information was contained within it.

A wave of anxiety swept over Mika.

She was already aware that a female blonde beauty was becoming a tenant today. She knew the beauty requested to live in the apartment adjacent to Seiji’s, claiming she was familiar with him.

Mika had an ominous premonition about it at the time, and now her premonition had proved itself correct!

‘A young missus… that was saved by him just like me?’

Although Mika didn’t know the origins of this young missus, for a young missus to be willing to live in a cheap apartment due to a boy meant that this… definitely wasn’t some random impulse!

‘That beauty should… no, she’s definitely serious about Seiji!’ Mika made a swift judgement.

This instilled her with an impending sense of danger.

Seiji Haruta was very popular with the fairer sex. He received daily love letters the second week after he’d transferred into Genhana High School! Although the ”confession” love letter which Chiaki had mentioned hadn’t appeared yet, one would probably come sooner or later.

Luckily for her, Seiji wasn’t inclined to being in a romantic relationship for now and rejected all the girls politely. Even if a confession love letter appeared and he was confessed to, he would likely reject it politely as well.

This made Mika feel rather relieved inside.

She was the closest girl to Seiji… Although she felt like Chiaki’s bond with him could surpass hers, Chiaki only viewed Seiji as a friend, so it wasn’t a problem... probably.

At any rate, she had the best chance as long as Seiji still didn’t want to get a girlfriend!

She had the greatest advantage since Seiji was living as a tenant of her family’s apartment.

Mika planned to spend more time together with him and deepen their feelings before confessing to him.

That was because she could detect Seiji currently didn’t feel any romantic feelings for her.

She needed time, so she could put in more effort.

But she was unprepared for a girl who liked Seiji moving in next door to him!

A blonde beauty who was a young missus to boot!

After this person came here, Mika’s greatest advantage, formerly exclusive to herself, would disappear!

‘Honestly, Mom, why did you let such a person come live here and even give her the room she wanted…’ Mika couldn’t help but complain in her heart.

Truthfully, she knew her complaint was unreasonable.

Apartments needed customers, especially reliable ones. As a landlord, Nozomi Uehara shouldn’t refuse a paying customer just for her daughter’s romantic feelings.

But apart from being a landlord, Nozomi was still Mika’s mother, so of course she would help Mika out wherever possible.

Such as now, when she sent the information she obtained after spying… oops, that she heard.

Mika sighed. ‘Thank you, Mother, even if this is giving me pressure.’

Suddenly, her phone started ringing.

It was Seiji!

Mika realized her mother had requested for Seiji to come help her do the shopping.

‘Good job, Mom!’

‘I don’t know what I can do in such a short time, but I need to do something.’ Mika clenched her fists in anticipation.

Before long, she saw his familiar figure walking over towards her.

A tall and handsome figure which attracted many young women’s gazes just by walking past… he was simply that handsome.

Mika let out a light sigh. ‘Seiji, why did you have to become so handsome?’ Mika couldn’t help but complain once more.

Seiji was mystified. He felt like the look in Mika’s eyes was slightly abnormal.

”What else do we need to buy?” he asked as he took the shopping cart from Mika.

”An item to make you less handsome…” Mika mumbled to herself.

”What?”

”Nothing! Next on the shopping list is paper.” The haughty pigtailed girl flicked her hair around as she walked in front of Seiji with resounding steps.

Seiji could only follow behind her.

Since Mika was being distracted by her thoughts, she didn’t pay attention while turning the corner and ended up crashing into another girl.
