Starting Tokyo Life From Inheriting A Shopping Street

Watching the two twin sisters leave, Shuichi Chiba stroked his chin, lost in thought, and began analyzing Sayuki Ogawa's behavior.

From their interactions over the past few days, it was clear that Sayuki Ogawa had a dominant personality, always wanting to take the upper hand in every situation.

Yes, that kind of personality.

Shuichi Chiba strongly suspected that even in certain... intimate matters, Sayuki Ogawa liked to be on top, taking the lead.

A woman with a strong competitive spirit... Could it also be a bit of a desire for conquest?

The more difficult and resistant he was, the more interested and excited she became...

Shuichi Chiba covered his face. What on earth was he thinking? Everything was a mess, and weren't their roles a bit reversed?

He was probably being influenced by Tsuki Akiyama, which was causing his thoughts to go off track.

Clearing his mind, Shuichi Chiba began analyzing from another angle. There were two things Sayuki Ogawa had just said that caught his attention.

'Am I unnecessary now?'

'I can manage on my own.'

When she said these words, her expression seemed a bit unusual, as if she was... worried? Maybe feeling a bit lonely?

There was also a slight hint of sulkiness in her tone.

Bold and open, yet unable to part from her sister, afraid of being left alone?

If that were truly the case...

"In that case, why separate? There's no harm in continuing to live together." Shuichi Chiba muttered to himself.

He opened the system interface, and just as expected, Fumika Ogawa's sense of belonging had increased by 10, once again boosting his monthly salary by 100,000 yen.

The current situation was,

- [Fumika Ogawa, Sense of Belonging: 50] 

- [Sayuki Ogawa, Sense of Belonging: 20] 

- [Tamako Akiyama, Sense of Belonging: 30] 

With every 10 points of belonging adding another 100,000 yen to his monthly salary, plus the basic administrator's fee, Shuichi Chiba's monthly salary had now reached 1.1 million yen.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Chiba's face, the joy of reaping the rewards.

However, the salary wouldn't be paid out until the beginning of next month, so for now, he could only feel happy about it. He was still spending from his savings.

That afternoon, Fumika Ogawa didn't come back, and Shuichi Chiba, bored, spent the entire afternoon watching anime to pass the time. The collection from his previous life was still quite impressive—Rin Shima really was cute. It made him want to go camping.

Of course, it would be even better if he could take the lady from next door camping with him. That would probably be amazing.

…..

On Monday morning, while Shuichi Chiba was brushing his teeth, the doorbell suddenly rang. He went downstairs to answer it, and once again, it was Tsuki Akiyama.

"Mom wants you to come over for breakfast." Tsuki said, lightly biting her lip, her usual defiant expression on her face.

"Isn't the place still not open?" Chiba asked curiously. He had gotten used to Tsuki's attitude by now—this troubled girl always liked to pretend she was being forced into things.

"It's just missing the sign. Everything else is ready, and the moving company already set everything up. There's no problem with cooking." Tsuki explained, glancing around cautiously as her hands slowly moved downward.

"And also... this, check." She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, revealing the blue and white striped panty she was wearing, along with a glimpse of her skin. 

The boldness of the act left an undeniable tension hanging in the air.

Compared to their previous encounters in the privacy of the second floor, doing something like this on the first floor was obviously bolder and more thrilling.

Tsuki Akiyama trembled slightly from the excitement, her face slowly turning red as she bit down on her lip.

Shuichi Chiba, pretending to remain indifferent, glanced briefly and nodded. "That's fine."

Tsuki lowered her skirt, savoring the lingering sensations but feeling like it had all been too brief, leaving her somewhat unsatisfied.

"Sit next to me at breakfast later." Chiba added, knowing this troubled girl wouldn't be so easily content. 

"!!!" Tsuki's heart skipped a beat, her eyes lighting up with excited anticipation, though she muttered, "You're such a pervert, wanting to do something in front of my family..."

"If you keep being this stubborn, I won't play along anymore." Chiba cut her off, not letting her continue with her usual antics.

"..." Tsuki immediately fell silent, her defiant attitude crumbling. She mumbled shyly, "Got it."

"Good girl. You go ahead first, I'll change clothes." Chiba said, patting her head before turning and heading upstairs.

Tsuki Akiyama raised her hand to touch her own head, pondering for a moment, unsure of what kind of 'play' this even was.

Hmm...

'Good girl...'

Could it be...???

Her heart raced as she returned to her family's shop, her mind swirling with her earlier thoughts. If it really was what she suspected... How thrilling!

"Tsuki-chan, where's Chiba-kun?" Mrs. Akiyama asked, wearing an apron and looking every bit the chef as she busily worked at the stove.

"He's changing clothes, he'll be here soon," Tsuki replied, slipping back into her usual demeanor. "Where's An? She hasn't come down yet?"

"I am coming, I am coming..." An Akiyama yawned as she stumbled down the stairs, her clothes disheveled. The steep staircase almost caused her to take a tumble.

Tsuki Akiyama, annoyed, walked over and tapped An on the forehead, helping her straighten out her clothes. "Were you planning to go out looking like this? If anyone saw you, your image would be completely ruined."

Speaking of ruined images, Tsuki shuddered involuntarily. If anyone found out her true self, it would be her image that was completely destroyed.

She found herself losing confidence whenever she tried to scold her younger sister these days.

"Wow, it smells so good. Why is breakfast so fancy today?" An asked, sniffing eagerly toward the kitchen like a curious puppy, savoring the delicious aroma.

"It's our first official breakfast since moving here, and Chiba-kun is coming over too. Of course, it has to be a bit more special." Mrs. Akiyama said with a smile.

Just as she said that, Shuichi Chiba arrived. The moment he stepped inside, he was immediately greeted by the enticing smell of the food.

The shop was narrow, with a bar counter and a few other small tables, each able to seat only two people facing each other. Chiba walked through the central aisle, greeting everyone as he passed.

"Good morning, Mrs. Akiyama. Sorry for the trouble." Shuichi Chiba greeted politely.

"Oh, not at all! I'm so happy you could join us, Chiba-kun~," Mrs. Akiyama replied cheerfully as she laid out the feast on the bar counter. "I wasn't sure if you preferred Western or Japanese-style breakfast, so I prepared a bit of both. Please, help yourself to whatever you like."

Chiba glanced at the bar, which was filled with an array of beautifully arranged dishes. There was miso soup with tofu, tuna rice balls, grilled salmon, cheese, pan-seared chicken breast, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), pan-fried pumpkin, scrambled eggs, bacon, toasted bread, pancakes, a fresh vegetable salad, and even ramen—fitting for the shop's main business.

As for drinks, there was genmaicha (brown rice tea), milk, and juice.

For someone like Chiba, who usually just grabbed something quick in the morning, this scene of the food was a sight he had never seen before.

Even with his usual thick skin, Chiba couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. "This is really too much, Mrs. Akiyama. You didn't need to go through so much trouble. I usually just have some bread and milk, and that's more than enough for me."

"Don't be shy now! It wasn't much trouble at all. This is pretty much what we normally have. If I didn't make it like this, An-chan wouldn't be too happy." Mrs. Akiyama said fondly, casting a glance at her youngest daughter, who was eyeing the food hungrily.
