Chapter 4: Let's meet the new tenants..
"Meals are often served at the lounge. If you are ever busy and do not have enough time to make your own food, you can come here." Hiroki said and showed me the large lounge area. My stomach growled loudly when I smelled some fresh food come out from the kitchen. I started to blush. "Since we're here, let's go eat." Hiroki said and escorted me to a clean table. I sat down on the chair cushion. "Wait here. I'll serve you some food." Hiroki said and went to where the foods are. "Thank you.." I said in a soft voice. When he came back he served me a cup of rose tea and blueberry scones. 'Wow.. I feel like I'm in England..' I thought and began to sip my tea. Hiroki stood next to me. "You're..not gonna eat?" I ask. "I would be a burden if a servant such as I were to act so casually around my master." Hiroki said. "...It's fine with me." I say and eat my scone. "Thank you." Hiroki says.
I see a girl going down the stairs. She's looking at me. She has dark pink hair put up into 2 pigtails. "....Who are you?" She asks me with a look that said 'I'm tired and bored'. "I'm Akemi Kishi. Who are you?" I say and point at her. "Karuta Roromiya..I'm also a servant for the person in room 2.." She says. She hands me a chocolate Pocky stick. "To show that we have met.." She says and walks away. I eat the pocky stick and finish my scone. "There is a public bath a few floors above here. There are also individual baths if you want some privacy." Hiroki says and shows me the door to the bath area. It's on the 7 th floor of the building. "On the 8th floor, there is a magnificent rooftop garden." Hiroki says and shows me the roof top that is filled with flowers and there are also chairs and tables set up, perfect for a picnic.
"Let's go back to your room. You should rest." Hiroki says and we go down to the elevators which are at the 7th floor. A few seconds later, the elevator arrives and I push the number 6 button which is where my room is located. I stand in front of the door to my room while Hiroki and I say our farewells.
I open the door to my apartment and sigh. I head over to the closet in my room and take out a pair of pajamas. I grab my towel which was placed on a near-by hanger and head over to the individual baths. As I open the door to the girls bathing area I hear someone talking. "I hear we have a new tenant. Is she interesting?" someone asks. "What does it matter? It's just another tenant." someone person responds. "She's quite nice..A little bit shy but she's nice.." Karuta said. I could recognize her voice. "Ah..." The first and second girl respond. I open the door to my locker which was the same number as my room and change out of my clothes and head to the individual baths.
When I was done I headed over to my room and unpacked some of my personal items which were inside my suitcase. I took out my comb, pencil case and journal. The journal had a black background and a white star in the middle of the journal. I opened my journal to a new page and wrote in a journal entry.
