After Breaking Up with Akai, I Moved Back in with the Kudo Family

[Check out the blurb below for my upcoming novel, My Max-Level System Gets Reincarnated as a Has-Been Nobody] Kudo Chio returned to Japan after studying abroad and discovered that a strange man had moved into her home. Apparently, he'd moved in at her little brother's enthusiastic invitation. The man had pink hair and squinty eyes, and was gentle and kind. He was the complete opposite of her ex-boyfriend, who had vanished after they dated for a short while. Before she'd even been home a week, she'd quickly put her unreliable ex behind her and made a move on her new roommate. ...Until one day, Chio "accidentally" caught her new roommate changing. He quickly straightened his clothes the moment she walked in, but she still caught sight of a familiar scar on his lean waist. Chio, whose memories of certain rather improper moments came rushing back, and who had just unmasked her ex-boyfriend: "...Damn." #Help, I'm living with my ex-boyfriend without knowing it, and I've been flirting with him for a whole month #Life goes by so fast, but first either my unlucky little brother or I have to die :) #Why not start by setting Ran-chan up with a new boyfriend √ * Ever since his big sister suddenly came home and was forced to live with someone hiding in their house, Conan had been worried for ages. He hesitantly went to the other guy and tactfully reminded him that a man and woman living together should keep a reasonable distance. After getting an affirmative answer, he finally felt reassured. That is, until he came home to pick something up one day and caught his sister sleeping defenselessly curled up on the sofa, with her head resting on... someone's lap. Conan: "?" The man reading nearby calmly pulled a blanket over her, opened his emerald-green eyes, and made a quiet gesture for him to shush. Conan: "??" The dark-skinned guy next door: See? This is how the FBI breaks its promises. ★ A carefree, sweet cohabitation comedy ★ Eight-year age gap. The parents' ages have been adjusted. Akai and Akemi's relationship has been removed, and Akai joins the Organization in a different way. Specific content warnings are in the first chapter's blurb.
