"So why are you playing the piano naked?" Masamune asked the blonde girl sitting in front of him.
Actually the one who played the piano in the empty house was Elf Yamada-sensei. He initially thought the house was empty and uninhabited. But it turns out that someone new has bought the empty house.
And that person is Elf Yamada. Let's call her Elf to be faster. Elf was a famous novelist just like himself. Just like in canon, she has become his neighbor.
"Th-That's because..." Elf hesitated before answering her question.
"...?" Masamune.
"My hobby!" Elf then said with a proud smile on her face. That means she admits that she has a hobby of being naked indoors.
Masamune nodded with a warm smile on his face. "So that's how it is. Then I'm leaving now, goodbye."
He was about to leave her house, but...
"WAIT!" Elf stopped him by pulling his school uniform.
"What's wrong? I have to go to school now."
Masamune sighed as he looked at his watch. He's almost late for school now. he regretted having followed his curiosity to check out his neighbour's house.
Elf pouted at his response. "Izumi-sensei! You peeked at me when I was naked!"
"Okay, sorry. So can I go now?"
"NO!"
Elf's face was red because she was angry. She wasn't angry that Masamune saw her naked, because she knew he didn't mean to. But she felt irritated seeing his indifferent response after seeing her naked body.
She wonders if her body doesn't appeal to him? She felt her pride was shaken to see the opposite sex was not interested in her body.
Elf is feeling sad now.
"..." Masamune who saw her expression felt guilty now.
He sighed and patted the elf's head gently. "Sorry... I accidentally saw you when you were naked. I was just curious to check this house because of the piano sound. I honestly didn't know that you lived in this house."
Elf who felt the pat on her head felt comfortable. She looked at Masamune's face who was now smiling gently at her.
Her face felt hot and her heart pounded. 'Wawawawa! What's that?! He can make such an expression?!'
"Yamada-san? Yamada-san? Hello Yamada-san?"
"Y-Yes!" Elf said with her face turning red, and her hands still holding his school uniform.
"Could you not pull my uniform?"
"O-Oh sorry." Elf had just remembered she was still holding onto his uniform, so she was only taking it off now.
"Yeah, that's fine. I'll go now, okay?"
Elf took a deep breath and said. "NO!!!"
Masamune sighed again... He found today very troublesome. He's late for school now.

Meanwhile at school.
Marin is currently in her class. She looked at the message Masamune had sent on her cell phone.
"He skipped school today?"
The message said Masamune would not be going to school today, as he had important business to attend to.
Marin sighed after seeing the message from him. That means today she won't be meeting with Masamune.
She kind of felt lonely if she didn't see him at school.
"But it's a good opportunity to talk about that, with Rias and Akeno over lunch."
Marin smiled, then she sent a message to the chat group she created with Rias and Akeno.
The chat group has been around for a long time. And the name of the chat group is "Harem Izumi-sensei ❤"
If Masamune knew that Marin had already created a group chat like that. He wouldn't say anything, and would only smile gently at her.

Return to Masamune who is currently still at Elf's house.
"You're my neighbor?!"
"Yes." Masamune said while sipping the tea made by her.
Elf was surprised then she immediately ran out of the house and checked the name tag of her neighbor's house. After that he returned to her house.
"You do not lie." Elf said.
"Of course not."
"I see... You were my neighbor all along..."
Elf just realized that her neighbor is her rival in writing novels, and she only realized it after 1 month moving into her new house!
She looked at Masamune Izumi-sensei who was wearing a school uniform in front of her. He was the youngest novelist just like herself, but she had to admit that Izumi-sensei was more of a genius than her in writing novels.
Besides that he is also very handsome. He was tall, his skin was white like an American, his facial features were sharp, and he also seemed to have strong muscles under his clothes.
Elf gulped as she took a good look at him appearance. She also just now realized that her rival is very handsome, right?
Masamune noticed that Elf was staring intently at his body. He smirked and said. "Have you seen enough? Want more?"
"Haaa!? What are you saying!?"
Elf's current reaction was like that of a cat, whose tail was stepped on. She growled while glaring at Masamune, but there was a blush on her cheeks.
Masamune laughed at the reaction of the girl in front of him. "Well, I'm already skipping school now. How about we talk about novels? I've actually been wanting to exchange ideas with fellow novelists for a long time."
"Talk about novels?"
"Yeah, don't you want to?"
"Of course I would! B-But you're not going to school now?"
While Elf was excited to chat about novels with Izumi-sensei. She wondered if it was okay for him to skip school just to chat with her?
"Like I said earlier. I'm already skipping school now. If I go to school now, I'll only be punished for being late."
"....."
Elf nodded in understanding. She looked at Izumi-sensei whose image had now changed, becoming a delinquent student who skipped school.
If Masamune knew what she was thinking, he would probably slap her in the ass.
"So Yamada-san?"
"You can call me Elf!"
"Alright Elf, you can also call me Masamune."
"Yes, Masamune! By the way, can I ask your opinion about the new novel I'm writing?!"
"Sure, I don't mind." Masamune said. He was also a little curious about the new novel Elf was writing.
"Okay, wait a minute! I'll take the draft novel right away!"
Elf ran excitedly to her room to pick up a draft of her new novel. She knew he shouldn't be give her draft to another novelist, but she didn't mind if it was Masamune reading it.
After all, Who is Masamune anyway? He's a Izumi-sensei. A writer of famous novels called Sword Art Online and Everyone Else is a Returnee.
So she believed him and didn't mind him reading her draft novel

(Author's Note)
I'm thinking of changing the writing style this novel. I know many of you don't like the writing style of this novel.
So I'll try to change it from now on, although the writing style of the previous chapter still needs to be edited.
But to edit the previous chapter of the novel... I'm sure, I'll be very slow at it.
If you want to read the latest chapter early, you can read it on my p@treon.
