Lin Xi registered Shiina Mahiru and then had her fill out a form.
Then, after doing all this, he took Shiina Mahiru to see the rooms.
First was the first floor.
Besides Chigusa Chitoshi's manager's office, there were two rooms and a shared kitchen on the first floor.
After seeing it, Shiina Mahiru decisively shook her head, she didn't want to live on the first floor.
They arrived on the second floor.
"The one by the window is mine, the one next door is a girl, Ogihara Sayu's room."
"There are also 3 rooms on the second floor."
"The one in the corner, 205, is occupied by a shut-in, Akasaka Ryuunosuke, a genius programmer, he's basically in charge of the internet at Sakura Dormitory."
Shiina Mahiru discovered that besides Ogihara Sayu's room, the room across from Lin Xi and the one next door were also not bad.
They were very ventilated, and opening the window allowed you to see the branches of the cherry blossom trees, and a floral fragrance wafted in.
She even saw a cat sleeping in the tree branch.
It looked very cozy.
After showing her the second floor, they arrived on the third floor.
"There are also 5 rooms on the third floor, 201 is occupied by Kamiigusa Misaki-senpai, she's a genius animation creator, very outgoing and easy to get along with."
"205 is a playboy, Mitaka Jin-senpai, who is said to be dating 6 girlfriends at the same time, partying every night, he doesn't seem to be at Sakura Dormitory these days."
Hearing this, Shiina Mahiru frowned.
Cheating on six boats, partying every night, how could Sakura Dormitory house such a person?
She looked at Lin Xi in confusion.
Lin Xi shrugged helplessly.
"I know you want to ask why Sakura Dormitory would accept such a guest, but actually, I haven't inherited Sakura Dormitory for long, these people moved in before."
"So, have you decided where you want to live?"
"Yes, I want to live in the room next to yours, the scenery feels nice."
Shiina Mahiru immediately made a decision.
She didn't want to live on the same floor as a playboy.
"Oh, next to me, are you sure? Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you…"
Facing his teasing words, Shiina Mahiru glanced at his crotch and said in a cold voice:
"I'm not an easy girl to bully, if you dare to attack me, I'll use physical means to make you unable to use that thing ever again."
Lin Xi's mouth twitched, "That's really scary, but don't worry, I won't casually attack cute girls."
"After all, my dream is to make the girl I like happy, forcing something, surely won't lead to happiness, right?"
"Alright, Shiina-san, this room is yours from now on, here's the key."
Lin Xi said, quickly registered her, and then handed her a set of keys.
"Go in and tidy up the room first, everyone will go to the first-floor living room for dinner tonight, it's a Sakura Dormitory tradition to welcome new residents, so there will be a potluck."
"I understand."
Shiina Mahiru nodded with a smile.
A potluck was quite a novelty for her.
"Then I won't bother you."
Lin Xi nimbly turned and left.
As soon as he returned to the room, he saw Ogihara Sayu's resentful gaze.
"What's wrong? What are you doing with that pouty little mouth?"
Ogihara Sayu looked at him pitifully.
"Lin Xi, who is that super pretty girl?"
"You guys seem to be wearing the same school uniform."
She actually wanted to ask if that girl was his girlfriend.
"Of course, she's a new resident, her name is Shiina Mahiru, she's Teacher Chigusa Chitoshi's cousin, and also my classmate, that's about it."
"I see…"
Ogihara Sayu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again.
"Alright, stop worrying. We need to prepare the welcome party for the new resident."
"No problem, leave it to me! I'll conquer her stomach!"
Ogihara Sayu immediately perked up.
She raised her head and puffed out her chest, put on an apron, and busied herself in the kitchen.
Having just finished washing the dishes, Chisato Sengoku, who had sobered up a bit, couldn't stop smiling, knowing she'd have late-night snacks again tonight.
Lin Xi went downstairs and rolled his eyes at Chisato Sengoku.
"Isn't that the eternally 29-year-old beautiful girl, teacher Chisato Sengoku? Did you wake up?"
Chisato Sengoku snorted and hooked her arm around his neck. "You little brat, you're getting an advantage and acting innocent. What's wrong? You look down on me, your teacher?"
"How could I?"
Lin Xi smiled, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and picked her up.
"Teacher Chisato Sengoku, about what you said earlier about going to bed, do you still mean it?"
Chisato Sengoku's head buzzed.
Her pretty face flushed red.
"You brat, you're actually teasing me!"
"I knew it. After Sayu came, you started becoming bad like that kid Mitaka!"
Lin Xi smiled and put her down.
"It seems like you were the one who teased me first, and you almost made Shiina misunderstand me."
Chisato Sengoku pretended to be calm, smoothed out her skirt, and sat down.
"Stop it. You're just a pervert!"
Then, she beckoned him with her finger and said playfully:
"What's wrong? You've taken a liking to Mahiru? My cousin isn't easy to pursue, but I do know some things about her. Want to know?"
"Buy me beer, and I'll tell you!"
Lin Xi waved his hand dismissively.
"You've been drinking all afternoon, and you still want more? In a few days, I'm going to hold a big cleaning and hygiene inspection. If your room still smells like beer, I'll make you, teacher Sengoku, responsible for Sakurasou's cleaning for a month!"
Chisato Sengoku, who was always thinking about slacking off, widened her eyes.
"That's too harsh! Brat, do you still want my cousin's information or not?"
"I don't care. It's not like I don't have a girlfriend."
He had Sayu, so he wasn't too greedy for other girls.
Alright.
Actually, he was still a bit greedy.
But he couldn't be too hasty.
Anyway, he couldn't let Chisato Sengoku see that he was interested in Shiina Mahiru.
Chisato Sengoku looked at his indifferent expression, looking dejected.
"What's wrong with me having a little drink? Brat, when you get to my age, you'll know that life is best when you have another can of beer!"
"Sorry, I don't think I'll ever understand the feeling that life is just about beer."
Lin Xi said, sitting down and carefully studying the mature woman in front of him.
"I don't get it. Teacher Sengoku is clearly very beautiful, so why did her matchmaking fail?"
Chisato Sengoku's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
"Who knows what you men are thinking!"
"Seriously, is it that hard to marry a successful person?"
Lin Xi's lips twitched.
"No wonder you failed. I'm telling you, teacher Sengoku, there are so many corporate slaves these days. Successful people are usually married."
"And if you don't change your habit of loving beer, potentially good guys will be even more respectful and stay away from you."
"At least Shirayama Koharu knows how to act cute. You always look like you're giving up. Who would marry a drunkard and take her home as a wife?"
Lin Xi said to himself.
Chisato Sengoku was already clutching her chest, her eyes filled with tears.
Lin Xi scratched his cheek.
Was he being too harsh?
Chisato Sengoku barely suppressed her anger and suddenly pounced on him, sitting on his waist.
"You little brat, how dare you say that about me… Waa, am I really that bad?"
"I don't care. If I can't find a partner, it's definitely your fault. You have to take responsibility and marry me!"
"Hmm, now that I think about it, you're not bad looking, kid. You're much better looking than Mitaka Jin."
"You have a house, and I have a car. We're a perfect match!"
Lin Xi was speechless.
Don't you have any shame?
We're just high school students!
And is it really okay for you to force me to be your husband like this?
