After hearing the explanation, Hikari quickly pieced things together. He smiled nonchalantly and nodded. "Thank you for sharing so much, Mrs. Shouko. You're truly thoughtful."
Shouko Katsuragi returned the smile politely and resud sweeping the hallway floor.
In truth, Shouko Katsuragi was in a good mood. Chatting with a young, handso man like Hikari reminded her of how older n often enjoy conversing with lively, beautiful young girls.
On the surface, Hikari remained calm. But as he listened to Shouko's introduction—particularly about her stepson and two daughters—his expression subtly shifted.
These nas and descriptions clicked instantly in his mory.
Yes, they were the charcters form a particular Netorare genre.
Hikari had already learned that the neighbor next door was a security guard. However, he hadn't expected it to be this security guard—Kareki Tsunetaka himself.
And Shouko Katsuragi wasn't living there permanently yet. Based on her words, she'd recently gotten engaged to Kareki's father.
Since her fiancé's house was under renovation, she chose to stay temporarily with Kareki after their engagent.
The "minotaur" this ti… was that very security guard—the brother-in-law-to-be of Shouko Katsuragi.
Hikari quietly linked a Pure Love Paper Crane to Shouko Katsuragi for good asure.
After exchanging polite farewells, he returned to his room.
———
Once inside, Hikari prepared a simple al of noodles before beginning his daily exercise routine.
Although he could boost his stats by assigning points, he considered regular exercise essential. Not only did it allow him to strengthen his body faster, but it also helped him adapt to his growing power and refine control over his strength.
As a result, Hikari made ti every day for at least so exercise.
This ti, he had just completed a thousand squats with a barbell and was preparing to do one-finger push-ups when the Pure Love Radar in his mind suddenly activated.
[Ding! A minotaur has been detected, and a spirit of pure love is at risk. The host is advised to intervene imdiately.]
Hikari halted mid-motion, a faint grin spreading across his face. "A minotaur incident right at ho? How convenient."
Without wasting ti, he threw on his clothes and stepped out of his apartnt.
At first, he assud the alert was linked to Shouko Katsuragi, who had connections to Kareki Tsunetaka.
But to his surprise, the neighboring apartnt was quiet. Shouko's high heels were no longer at the door, suggesting she'd already left.
Hikari recalled her ntioning that she'd bring her daughters to live here in two days and had only co today to introduce herself.
As for Kareki, maybe he didn't like the marriage so he didn't welco her.
"So, it's not Mrs. Shouko who's in danger?" Hikari murmured to himself.
He opened the Pure Love Radar and observed the flashing red dot. It wasn't in Kareki's apartnt but on the floor above his own, where a family nad Mashiro lived.
"Oh! So this apartnt complex isn't so normal as it seed?"
With a small chuckle, Hikari closed his door and headed upstairs.

anwhile, Chisato was in a foul mood.
It wasn't just the noisy chatter drifting in through her open window; everything irritated her today.
"What's there to talk about with neighbors anyway? So annoying."
The high school girl sat cross-legged on her bed, her JK uniform skirt rising slightly to reveal her pink unde*wear. Her youthful energy was unmistakable, from her fair skin to her petite fra.
But at this mont, her beautiful face was scrunched in frustration.
The real source of her irritation wasn't the noise—it was her uncle, Mashiro Yuta.
Her parents had left town for a few days and entrusted Yuta, her unmarried and rather greasy uncle, to look after her.
Chisato detested Yuta's presence. His sloppy appearance, leering eyes, and creepy deanor made her skin crawl.
Just then, an obnoxious shout ca from downstairs.
"Chi-chan! Dinner's ready!"
Reluctantly, Chisato put down her phone and headed to the dining room.
There, Yuta was already seated, his beer belly pushing against the table.
Chisato sat as far away from him as possible, but Yuta didn't miss the chance to ogle her as she moved.
"Chi-chan," he said with a forced smile. "Your uncle worked hard to prepare this al. Eat up while it's hot."
Chisato shot him a disdainful look. "This is obviously the food Mom made this morning. You just reheated it. Do you not even know how to use a microwave?"
Her sharp tone hit its mark, and Yuta's face darkened.
"Just eat," he muttered, trying to hide his embarrassnt.
Ignoring him, Chisato focused on her phone while eating, her lack of interest cutting deeper than her words.
As they ate, Yuta couldn't help sneaking glances at her. The sight of her smooth skin, matured body, peculiar for a sevent*en year old girl and musky sel of her body, made Yuta drool on his seat.
Finally, unable to bear her indifference, Yuta barked, "Stop playing with your phone and co sit next to . We should talk—it's rude to ignore your uncle."
Chisato didn't even look up. "My parents don't care if I use my phone during als, so why should you? Besides, we have nothing to talk about."
Yuta's face contorted in frustration. "Don't you rember what you said to when you were little? You promised to marry your uncle when you grew up."
Chisato's fork froze mid-air. She looked up, eyes cold. "I was a kid. Kids say dumb things all the ti. You're delusional if you took that seriously."
"Besides, it was you who forced to say that. Taking advantage of my age. You creep!"
Her words hit Yuta like a slap, but the twisted smile on his face only deepened.
Watching Chisato leave for the bathroom, Yuta's thoughts grew darker.
"She promised … She has to keep her promise…"
"She can't go back on her word! She must fulfill her promise!"
"Chi-chan! Chi-chan! My Chi-Chan!
Mashiro Yuta looked at the bathroom and began to slowly reach his hand towards his crotch. His eyes were red and many evil thoughts filled his mind.
Suddenly, his hand stopped.
It wasn't that Mashiro Yuta had a change of heart and felt that it was too beastly to have evil thoughts about his own niece.
He just felt that this wasn't satisfying or exciting enough.
