Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"My name is Ishii Manie, and I've been in the same class with Shiraishi since freshman year. Although I look like this, I'm surprisingly reliable. You can ask me more questions."

Before Lisa Shiraishi could finish her words, the girl named Ishii Aimi took the lead in introducing herself, and she even smiled playfully after she finished speaking.

After listening to the introduction of this senior student, the atmosphere in the group suddenly became much more lively.

Ryuichi Okamoto seemed to suddenly become interested and raised his hand excitedly.

"Excuse me, is Ishii-senpai dating someone now?"

This strange question made everyone look at him instantly.

"As expected of you, this is the first thing you think of at a time like this."

Ginjo Sousuke thought to himself, then gave a wry smile.

However, the person he chose to ask the question to was Ishii instead of Lisa Shiraishi who was standing next to him. He probably had already tied Shiraishi and Ginjō together and knew that he had no chance.

Far from being disgusted by this question, Ishii Aimi felt a little excited.

"As for me, how should I put it? I'm still single. By the way, classmate, I forgot to ask your name?"

"I'm Okamoto, Ryuichi Okamoto."

"So, Okamoto-san, do you want to try dating me?"

"Eh? Is that really okay?"

Okamoto stood up excitedly.

"Of course not, idiot. This is a job fair. What are you thinking about?"

After Ishii Ai Meihui finished speaking, she laughed happily, as if her prank was successful. The other students also laughed when they saw this.

Okamoto was the only one left. He scratched his hair awkwardly and then sat back helplessly.

Lisa Shiraishi did not interrupt them, but just watched with a smile. When everyone was almost quiet, she clapped her hands and started talking.

This should be the correct way to end this kind of atmosphere on the scene.

"Well, let's get started. Our homeroom teacher has already said that you don't have to be so reserved. You can ask anything you want."

"At this time last year, I actually hadn't decided on my next career direction. I want to ask, what plans do you have now?"

Lisa Shiraishi asked the students.

After the students in the group exchanged inquiring glances with each other for some reason, one of the boys spoke.

"I haven't thought about it specifically. I think anywhere is fine as long as I can play baseball. Although I aim to be a sports student, it should be difficult considering the level of our university."

He was one of only two boys in the class who joined the sports club, the other one being of course Ginjo Sosuke.

The baseball team of Muzono University is indeed not a strong team. It was basically eliminated in the first round of the Koshien regional qualifiers, so it seems unrealistic to find a job based solely on athletic ability.

Those who have been passionate about sports since childhood will one day be forced to make a choice: do they really want to become a professional player, continue just out of interest, or simply give up.

"So, classmate, what kind of team do you want to play for? You can think about that first."

Lisa Shiraishi listened to his question carefully, then answered with a smile.

Ryuichi Okamoto quickly got rid of the embarrassment and continued speaking.

"My parents want me to be a civil servant, but I have no idea what position I should apply for."

It seems that he has not completely thought about his future, but he is still confused in all aspects.

"If you want to become a civil servant, Okamoto-san needs to study hard first."

Lisa Shiraishi nodded and said to him.

"Yeah, I'll try my best!"

I don’t know if it’s because Lisa Shiraishi remembered his name, but Ryuichi Okamoto seemed to be full of energy again.

"What a simple-minded creature."

Yincheng sighed in his heart.

"What about other students? Do you have any questions?"

Lisa Shiraishi continued.

The person who raised her hand this time was Yuki Mizutani, but she still looked a little nervous, with her arms shaking.

"Well...I want to study for a master's degree at the University of Tokyo..."

She seemed to be struggling with this for a long time before finally speaking it out.

The other students couldn't help but let out a secret exclamation, and then turned their eyes to her.

Yuki Mizutani lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"If I remember correctly, you are Mizutani-san?"

Lisa Shiraishi had a brief encounter with her at the previous school festival, so she remembered her name.

"Yes, Shiraishi-senpai."

Mizutani Yuki nodded shyly.

"Todai, that's a great goal. If Mizutani has such an idea, he must be very capable."

"As long as you can stick to your ideals and continue to work hard, I believe the results will not disappoint you."

Lisa Shiraishi said to her with a smile.

The University of Tokyo can be said to be the dream school of most Japanese college students, because as long as you get in there, it can be said that half of your life journey has been successful.

However, only the top-ranked students in each school actually try to get admitted to the University of Tokyo.

After all, the admission success rate of the University of Tokyo has always been frighteningly low, and it is a sheer waste of time for ordinary students to participate.

Yuki Mizutani has been able to maintain the top ranking in her grade at Takenaka University, so there is still hope for her.

However, what she seemed to lack the most was confidence. After Lisa Shiraishi's guidance this time, she seemed to be more confident.

"Thank you, Shiraishi-senpai. I will definitely work hard."

Her voice was still a little trembling, but her eyes were more determined and full of hope.

"I might go into the media industry. I heard there are a lot of beautiful girls there."

Other students in the group also began to talk about their goals.

As Lisa Shiraishi listened to the discussion of the students around her, she couldn't help but think about her own future.

For some reason, her eyes drifted to Ginjo Sousuke beside her...

Outside the window, the sky was covered with gray clouds and the city was still covered with drizzle.

The continuous raindrops were like endless silver threads, gently interweaving together and then falling on the campus land.

Looking out the window, the scenery in the distance began to become blurry.

Inside the classroom, discussions between groups have become increasingly heated, and students' faces appear lively and enthusiastic under the bright lights.

Their visions and dreams for the future make their words and eyes full of anticipation and vitality.

The coldness outside and the heat inside seemed to separate the world into two completely different parts.

"So, what about Shiraishi-senpai? Have you made your decision yet?"

The girl who joined with Yuki Mizutani asked this question.

"Well, even though I'm talking to you as if I'm very impressive, I haven't actually decided on my future choices yet."

Lisa Shiraishi gently covered the corners of her mouth with her hands and smiled embarrassedly.

"Huh? What a surprise. Judging from her appearance today, Shiraishi-senpai gave the impression that she is the type who makes a decision very quickly."

The girl said in surprise.

"That's not the case. Because a lot of things have changed around me recently, I haven't made a final decision yet."

Lisa Shiraishi said frankly, without any intention of concealing anything in her tone.

Ginjo Sousuke was not at all surprised by her answer.

Because he had asked Lisa Shiraishi a similar question before, but at that time they were talking about water polo.

Given Lisa Shiraishi's academic performance and her experience as the student council president of Buzono University, Ginjo believed that it would not be a problem for her to choose to continue her studies at the University of Tokyo or other famous universities.

But now she has set up a water polo club and is getting better and better at this sport she loves.

If she wants to develop in this direction, she should consider a professional sports university.

Although Yincheng felt that even if she could not continue on the path of becoming an athlete, it would be completely fine for her to transfer back to an ordinary university.

But no matter what, this is also a major decision in life.

As for the glance that Lisa Shiraishi gave him, Ginjo Sousuke of course noticed it.

The relationship between two people is getting warmer as time goes by. If they are too far apart in the future, I wonder if there will be any rifts...

Although Lisa Shiraishi seems calm and organized in everything she does, Ginjo feels that she has a very sensitive side hidden deep inside.

When she takes a truly important step, she becomes cautious.

The future? It's really a headache...

After that, Lisa Shiraishi and Manie Ishii took ample time to give suggestions on career directions for everyone in the group.

However, Ginjo Sosuke was the only exception. He did not ask any questions, and Shiraishi Lisa did not ask him specifically, as if there was some special tacit understanding between the two of them.

After the job exchange meeting, except for the club members who could carry out indoor activities and went to participate in training, the other students left school early.

For more than twenty minutes, Ginjo leaned against the glass door at the entrance of the school building, listening to the endless sound of rain.

He always had a feeling that he didn't want the day to end so early.

Snap, snap, colorful flowers bloomed and passed by Yincheng one after another.

The childish freshman girl happily turned the umbrella, and the raindrops scattered, as if turning into hydrangeas.

Ginjo Sousuke casually put his hands in his pockets and gently touched the brand new hard cover of his mobile phone, while soothing music came from his headphones.
