It Wouldn’t Be So Bad Being An Apartment Complex Manager! I Was Optimistically Thinking That, But There My Life Started To Go Downhill! - Chapter 14: Room 211, Satake Machiko ② (Paranoia)

Chapter 14: Room 211, Satake Machiko ② (Paranoia)

In the dark dining room, I felt a chill run down my spine!

Satake-san’s last words had frozen my body.

♪ Pachih!

The flashlight’s light illuminated the dark room… I couldn’t look at Satake-san’s face, so I stared at the ceiling where the fluorescent light had been removed.

This silence seemed to be telling me that I was in a tight spot!

“I don’t understand what you mean, S-Satake-san, but please give me the new bulb quickly!”

“Here you go ♪…”

I took the new fluorescent light and asked Satake-san to shine the flashlight on me while I hurriedly started to install it!

I was filled with the desire to escape from this place as soon as possible!

“I never expected that your partner was Tanaka-san…”

“That’s a lie… Why do you assume it’s Tanaka-san?”

“I told you before, didn’t I?… In this building, you can hear the sounds from the neighbors… Huh, my boy… I could hear your sexy voice calling Tanaka-san’s name ♪”

“That’s… an invasion of privacy, isn’t it?”

“I don’t remember eavesdropping, and it just came out of your room on its own, right?… Is it strange to talk about privacy in that case?”

“What do you want with me and Tanaka-san?”

She had overheard everything!… This is definitely the most critical situation in my life.

Plus, if I leave things as they are, I will cause trouble for Tanaka-san!… I’m a man, and I have to protect Tanaka-san no matter what!

“I’m not going to do anything to you, I’m just warning you, my boy ♪… You should end your relationship with Tanaka-san soon… I never expected that she would go after a young boy like you!”

“Go after… me?”

“You can believe it or not, but that girl! She doesn’t care about the position of the man she likes, she just tempts him, taking advantage of the fact that her husband is on a business trip!”

“That’s a lie!… Tanaka-san-san would never do that…”

“Of course you want to think that way… She was so kind to you, my boy, acting like a pure housewife, showing compassion… Her eyes were moist, as if to say, ‘I’m all yours’…”

Satake-san seemed to know Tanaka-san’s actions so well that I wondered if she had installed a hidden camera in my room!

However, I still wanted to believe that Satake-san was just talking based on her imagination…

“Why do you speak so badly of Tanaka-san?”

“Because I’ve known her since she moved here!… Before you came here, she was having a good time with a handsome male nursery teacher!”

“That’s a lie! Stop it already!”

“It’s not a lie, you know… I work in the fields during the day, but at night I work part-time at a love hotel reception in the suburbs… Well, I don’t show my face at the love hotel, but I know that Tanaka-san and the nursery teacher often came there… After all, even love hotels have security cameras in the corridors, don’t they ♪”

I felt like my knees were going to give way… I even wished that I would fall from the ladder and be taken to the hospital…

I wanted Satake-san’s words to be a lie… But even so, Satake-san continued to shower me with merciless words!

“That girl also came to the hotel with a tall father whose child was in the same class as her daughter ♪… She was with him for about a year before she became interested in the nursery teacher!”

“That’s enough!… It’s the past…”

“It’s not the past, three days ago she came to the hotel with the nursery teacher!… They spent about three hours together in the evening ♪… She was still with the nursery teacher!”

Tanaka-san-san’s image shattered like broken glass!

I had never felt my heart shattered like this before… The pain of being rejected by my first love was nothing compared to this… I was starting to hate everything…

“…… The replacement is finished…… Please turn on the lights……”

“Thank you!… But I still have more to say ♪”

Satake-san turned on the lights in the room, went to the kitchen, poured barley tea into a glass, and made me sit in a chair.

I didn’t want to hear anything more from her, but for some reason I couldn’t bring myself to go home with these feelings, so I sat down in the chair obediently.

“You look pretty shocked?… I wish it was a lie… You look like you want to believe that…”

“Of course… I still don’t believe it…”

“So, tell me… Did Tanaka-san-san ask you seriously to be together with her?”

“…… No… Not as a lover… She said she wanted to stay as a sex friend…”

“Well, of course!… Since she has other sex partners, if she makes you her boyfriend, she can’t sneak around with other men, can she ♪… Her personality is such that she can’t be satisfied with just one man… So, don’t you think it’s more fun to be in a position of a sex friend, where you can do whatever you want?”

“…”

If this were my room’s table, I would have already been pounding it with my fists!

When her car wasn’t in the apartment parking lot, she was naked and hugging another man!… But I’m not her boyfriend… This inexplicable anger is piercing my heart!

(Did I just let Tanaka-san take advantage of me, and gave her the medal of honor for losing my virginity?)

“It seems like you don’t have much experience with women… That’s why you fell for Tanaka-san-san’s temptation right away… It can’t be helped, but honestly… I’ve always been annoyed by her behavior!”

“Satake-san…”

“It’s not fair, you know?… She’s a married woman, and I’m a divorced woman… Yet, she always manages to catch good men… Well, I’m much older than her… During the day, I’m alone doing agriculture, and at night, I’m a lonely love hotel receptionist, and while she’s having sex with other men in her room, I’m sharing the same time and place…”

I thought that this person was just jealous of Tanaka-san-san, but her expression at that time was not as harsh as before, and she looked a little sad to me…

I’m not a womanizer, but this person is beautiful and has a good style, even for her age… If she wanted to, she could probably meet new men…

“So?… Whether you believe it or not, how do you feel about what I’ve told you so far?… Do you still have feelings for Tanaka-san-san?”

“Well… I haven’t heard anything from Tanaka-san-san’s mouth yet, but it’s true that I don’t want to see her anymore…”

That was also because she had been avoiding me since that day…

“So… I’ll tell you the rest… I’m sorry, my boy, but the other day I called Tanaka-san-san out and put pressure on her in my own way!”

“What!”
