Tokyo: I Sheltered the Homeless girl (1-156).

Summary

In this chapter, Maki Miyazawa finds herself embarrassed due to the effects of a massage from Sawayama Haruno, which leaves her feeling flustered and humiliated. Despite her internal chaos, she tries to mask her feelings while eating with Haruno, during which she subtly takes pictures to tease Mana, Haruno's sister-in-law. Maki's intent is to create a misleading image that stirs up jealousy or curiosity in Mana. Their conversation shifts to Haruno's relationship with Mana, and Maki playfully provokes Haruno to discuss it, but he sidesteps, fearing repercussions. The tension is heightened when Maki receives a message confirming that Mine Shiori, someone Haruno is interested in, attends the same school as her. This revelation excites Haruno, prompting thoughts of a secret crush, while Maki feels insecure and frustrated about Shiori's attitude toward her. They discuss their classmates and Maki's irritation with an acquaintance throwing shade at her. The chapter ends with Maki considering the implications of their ongoing interactions and how they could help Haruno uncover his vague memories related to a past incident.
