"Two units?"

  Hearing Sayuki's words, Shuichi Chiba was momentarily stunned. He had almost given up on this deal, thinking it was going south and suggesting they check other pces.

  To his surprise, the situation took a turn.

  "That's right. I also pn to open a shop here, alongside my sister."

  Sayuki's lips curved into a mysterious smile as she nodded, her gaze wandering over Shuichi Chiba from head to toe.

  She had not paid much attention before, but now, examining him closely, she found that the young male manager was indeed quite good-looking.

  Moreover, he appeared fragile and harmless, which evoked a curious sense of... wanting to have some fun with him.

  Shuichi Chiba didn't notice the dangerous glint in Sayuki's eyes and was instead puzzled by her sudden ge of attitude, given how cautious she had been just moments ago.

  He gnced over at the er where Fumika was, who seemed flustered and hastily averted her gaze, as if avoiding eye tact was her only escape.

  Uo gain any useful information from that, Shuichi Chiba pushed aside his curiosity and addressed Sayuki. "What kind of business do you pn to run? Have you decided on a particur shop?"

  "A fitness ter." Sayuki tilted her head slightly to one side. "The o door looks perfect. It's right o my sister's shop, and I'll be the manager. We sign the tract today."

  "A fitness ter?" Shuichi Chiba frowned slightly. "In that case, the shop dht not be suitable. Its space is simir to this one, and it might not aodate all the equipment."

  "It'll be enough." Sayuki smiled. "I'm pnning to open a women's fitness ter with small group personal training and a membership system. We're not relying on high foot traffic."

  Sayuki tinued, "Our focus will be on shape-enhang and fat-burning courses like Pites and yoga, with less emphasis on strength training. So, we won't need many rge pieces of equipment."

  Shuichi Chiba nodded in uanding. "Indeed, I've heard that women's fitness ters have been quite popur tely. I remember seeing a report about a women's gym making 20 billion yen in profit st year."

  Sayuki nodded, her expression turning serious as she spoke about her professional pns. "That's right. Plus, it plements my sister's beauty salon perfectly. After a workout, ts ght to her pce for an essential oil spa treatment to relieve muscle soreness."

  The mention of an essential oil spa made Shuichi Chiba's eyelids twitch slightly. His mind involuntarily drifted back to the image of the previously seen smooth, white thighs and the depth that seemed to capture one's attention.

  Sayuki's sharp eyes detected his unease, and her smile took on a more enigmatic quality. "So, how about it? we take both spaces? Once we're officially open, Chiba-san enjoy a free trial."

  Shuichi Chiba quickly snapped back to reality. He appeared to ponder seriously but was actually cheg the system interface befiving his response.

  "If you choose the spaext door as well, the rent will also be 200,000 yen per month, with zero deposit and zero key money."

  Sayuki nodded in satisfa. "Deal. Let's sign the traow."

  "This will have to wait a bit." Shuichi Chiba said, shaking his head slightly.

  Sayuki's eyebrows rose immediately. Was there still a problem? Perhaps he wanted some sort of "bribe" first?

  Shuichi Chiba noticed her ge in expression but didn't dwell on it. He shrugged and said, "I o wait for the Butler to hahe paperwork."

  "Butler, you say…." Sayuki was momentarily stunned by the mention of a "Butler" and wondered if Shuichi Chiba was the heir of a wealthy family.

  Shuichi Chiba nodded and dow, "Yes, that's correct."

  ---

  The two sisters followed Shuichi Chiba to the ma office, where they sat in chairs, waiting for the so-called butler, their feelings plex.

  Sayuki thought to herself, no wonder he's so devious at such a young age—he must be a rich family's heir...

  Oher hand, Fumika was restless, her legs fidgeting. Her sister's earlier words had left her feeling unfortable and anxious, unsure of how Shuichi Chiba might perceive her.

  She wao tell her sister to leave, but each time she tried to speak, the words stu her throat. Her head felt fuzzy, and she didn't know how to voice her s.

  Shuichi Chiba sat behind his desk, busily reviewing the rental dots and preparing the standard tract provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. He g the two women from time to time, p the sudden ge in their decision.

  After about ten minutes, an elderly man with graying hair and dressed in a butler's uniform arrived. He bowed respectfully to Shuichi Chiba.

  Without any unnecessary words, he promptly sighe trad then o the two women before leaving.

  Shuichi Chiba, havihe butler during the system appearance, reized him as a toed by the system. The butler was the designated manager of the shopping street and also served as the representative of a distahy retive who had left behind the estate.

  As long as it involved tract matters, the butler was avaible at any time until Shuichi Chiba fulfilled the system ditions and became the true owner of the shopping street. The subsequent paperwork and formalities would also be handled by the butler, so Shuichi Chiba wouldn't o worry about them.

  With the tract sighe Ogawa sisters exged gnces.

  "Alright, from now on, you tart of the shopping street. Please take care of me." Shuichi Chiba said with a smile as he sat in his chair.

  Fumika Ogawa hurriedly responded, "We should be the ones saying that. Please, Chiba-san, take care of us."

  "Indeed, we will o take care of each other." Sayuki Ogawa said with a knowing smile, casting a sidelong g Shuichi Chiba. Fumika Ogawa, standio her, was so embarrassed that her face was almost buried in her chest.

  Seeing their reas, Shuichi Chiba pted for a moment before pulling out his phone.

  "Both of you use LINE, right? Let me add you. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out anytime."

  "Of course we do. Do you think Chiba-san we're old dies?"

  Sayuki Ogawa gave him a pointed look. Despite her slightly aone, her alluring eyes gave her an enting air.

  Shuichi Chiba couldn't help but chuckle. He turo Fumika Ogawa and said, "If old dies could look like you two, then it seems Fumika-san's beauty would be worthy of a Nobel Prize."

  "Oh, no, it's not that impressive." Fumika Ogawa said, blushing and waving her hands.

  "Alright, Chiba-san was just joking. Don't take it so seriously; it makes you look silly." Sayuki Ogawa said, sounding slightly irritated but with a smile.

  After adding each other on LINE, Sayuki Ogawa looked at Shuichi Chiba and said, "You've already spent quite a bit of time with us today. We'll visit again tomorrow m. Although there's no need for key money, it's ary t a gift for our first visit."

  "I'm fih it being informal, but it would be good to get acquainted with the other shopkeepers ireet." Shuichi Chiba said responsibly.

  "This shopping street, as you've seen, has quite a historical atmosphere. Most of the shopkeepers here are older and pce importan etiquette." He added.

  "Thank you for the advice," Sayuki Ogawa said, uanding the good iions behind it. As she prepared to leave, she gave Shuichi Chiba a mysterious smile.

  "Chiba-san, look forward to the gift we'll bring tomorrow m."
