>>6035016 As you are throwing away the old furniture near Ichie’s home (the dumpster), you find Craig going about his day. You two talk for a bit before you explain what happened. Surprised by the events, your landlord decides to check the damage, more out of curiosity than obligation, even if he’s legally obligated to. Also, he decided to keep all of the trash, presuming that one of the Antique Shops on this street is interested in getting ahold of these novelties, it seems the military poster was especially important.
“A new girl again, huh? Don’t let Sewel notice, he’s gonna lose his shit if he sees her.” Craig saw Ichie pass by and couldn’t help but to comment as he chuckled. The rich gals are chatting in the kitchen, busy with some chores. “This is a big surprise, they told me this place was haunted when I bought it, but <span class="mu-i">holy crap</span>.”
“You think it’s safe?” You ask.
“Place looks stable, and the foundation is fine, but I need to bring an inspector over to check if it’s actually safe, and some guys to get rid of rubble. I don’t want to be liable for anything, kid.” Craig apologetically retorts.
“Aw man, got it.” You didn’t expect to get kicked out. Where are you going to stay in the meantime?
“Hey, it’ll be a couple of hours at most. I know some gal who’s an expert in the field. You’d think she’d be in big demand with half the city falling apart, but these folks flock like flies when a natural disaster strikes.” It’s very well established that Craig might be one of the most well-connected guys in the entire city.
“<span class="mu-i">Oh.</span>” Suan De freezes upon seeing Craig in here. She was in the bathroom.
“Suan De? <span class="mu-i">Suan De Rodenhall?</span> Is that you…?” Craig is speechless. “What are you doing here? It’s been years!”
“Harris, I don’t recall being on a first-name basis.” Suan De maintains her distance.
“In work mode, huh? How have you been? You haven’t changed a bit, lanky legs!” Craig is hyped up upon this discovery.
“I can say the same, dwarf.” Suan De acts emotionless during this reunion.
“No need to act cold in front of the kid. He is a friend of mine.” Craig laughs. “We were classmates in school and at the dojo. She’s a troublemaker through and through, fierce as they come!”
“I know, she’s pretty cool.” You nod.
“Wait, don’t tell me you’re the new roommate you were talking about?” Craig can’t keep up with your shit.
“It’s none of your business.” Suan De interjects.
“Yeah, it is, I’m the landlord.” Craig dryly informs.
