Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Well... everyone has different interests."

"Eh...no...no no."

Mochizuki Haruka seemed a little conflicted and didn't know how to explain it.

The little head was tilted slightly to one side, and the rosy lips were slightly pursed.

After a moment of silence and a long sigh, Mochizuki Haruka continued.

"I didn't do it because I liked it..."

"Hmm... When should I start? Anyway, it was when I was in college, but that was three or four years ago..."

Seeing that Ginjo Sosuke was listening attentively, Mochizuki Haruka began to recall herself during her college days.

"When I was in college, I was an inconspicuous female college student with old-fashioned braids, and... I was a little chubby."

"To put it in today's terms, I am like a transparent person in the class."

"I always read novels in the corner of the classroom. Although I had female friends, I hardly ever spoke to boys of my age for three whole years."

"It was a gray youth full of loss, loneliness and regret."

"I thought love was not for me, so I gave up pursuing it."

"But that doesn't mean I'm not interested. In fact, I am interested in dating, and I have always admired the student couples hanging out in school and on the streets. I have always wanted to be in a relationship."

"I didn't want to be fat when I wore a kimono for my coming-of-age ceremony, so I started to lose weight desperately."

"I didn't have much hope at first, but I actually succeeded in losing weight, so I'm barely maintaining my body shape now."

Having said that, Ginjo Sousuke couldn't help but look around, staring at Mochizuki Haruka.

Her waistline is perfectly slimmed down, but the area above...it seems like she hasn't lost any weight at all!

Seeing where Ginjo's gaze was fixed on her, Mochizuki Haruka subconsciously covered her chest with her hands.

"Cough cough..."

Ginjo Sousuke quickly looked away and coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.

"It's incredible that this place hasn't lost any weight at all."

Mochizuki Yao lowered her head and looked at herself, speaking with some self-mockery.

"Being thin where you should be thin, and having meat where you should have meat, this is simply a talent! I wonder how many women will be jealous of this talent!"

Ginjo Sousuke thought to himself.

"To erase the inferiority complex I had as a student, and to relive my ordinary and insignificant youth."

"That's why I...that's why I...put on my college uniform again."

“Put on your college uniform and do the things you wanted to do but couldn’t do when you were in college.”

"I want to relive my youth again. These are my self-satisfactions."

Mochizuki Haruka seemed to have thought about the last few words for a long time before saying them.

Chapter 23 Weekend Appointment

So Mochizuki wanted to relive her college days?

I believe most people have thought this way.

Young love, pure friendship, or regrets of one kind or another, the university years are indeed an unforgettable green time mixed with laughter and tears.

It’s a pity that Mochizuki Haruka can’t travel back in time like herself and experience college life again.

Ginjo Sousuke just looked at her and listened to her continue telling her story.

"In fact, I have always been thinking about how to make up for the regrets of my college years."

"But the idea of ​​wearing a female university uniform came about by chance."

"I have a college friend named Lijiangzi. She and I are still very close. The day I met Ginjo was a weekend. I went to Lijiangzi's house and had a few drinks near noon."

When you say you had a few drinks, of course you were drinking at the bar?

At the age of 22, Haruka Mochizuki is old enough to drink alcohol.

"Because we haven't seen each other for a long time, we had one drink after another and had endless topics to talk about."

"Before they knew it, both of them were dizzy and drunk."

"It seems that when we were drunk, Liezi said this."

"Xiaoyao is such a beauty now. If she goes back to college, she will definitely be very popular."

"Then Liezi took out her college uniform. She was also too drunk and put it on on a whim."

It turned out that the uniform that Mochizuki Haruka wore that day was not her own. No wonder it looked a little small at the time, so small that the buttons on the uniform top were about to be burst.

I guess that friend named Liezi doesn't have a body as rich as Mochizuki Haruka...

"After putting on the uniform, I even deliberately did my hair and makeup like a college girl..."

"I have almost no memory of what happened after that. When I woke up, it was almost dusk."

"Thinking that I had to go to work the next day, I hurriedly left Lijiangzi's house, thinking it wouldn't be too late to change clothes when I got home."

"Before I boarded the train home, I was actually quite excited."

“When I saw myself in the mirror at the station, I began to imagine what kind of unforgettable love I would have if I returned to college.”

"Unfortunately, the experience afterwards was like hell, until Ginjo-san showed up and saved me from being so scared that I didn't know what to do."

Needless to say, Ginjo knew that she was talking about the time she was harassed on the train.

After talking for so long, Mochizuki Haruka felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the water cup and took a sip. Since she had already talked so much with Ginjo, she might as well continue.

"Being harassed is scary, but actually revealing your true age is equally scary."

"If the news the next day has a headline like 'College girl harassed on train line XX! Investigation reveals victim is actually an adult office lady in disguise?!'"

"If it gets out of hand, it might even get reported to the company, and then I'll be completely screwed."

"To be honest, my brain completely shut down at that time. I could only stand there motionless."

"At this time, the person who rescued me from hell appeared. It was you, Ginjo-san."

"So I really want to thank you again, thank you so much."

"Thanks to Ginjo-san, I was able to escape unscathed and retain my position in society."

Mochizuki Haruka's tone of thanks was very sincere, and one could feel that it was gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm really lucky that Ginjo-san saved me. If it weren't for you, I might have fled this city overnight."

"I wanted to express my gratitude to Ginjo-san on the way back, but I realized that we were taking the same route home."

"When Ginjo-san said he lived in Kitabashi-cho, I realized we might live in the same apartment..."

"Because I heard from the administrator that a male college student was going to move in. I didn't expect that person to be Ginjo-san."

"I was afraid that Ginjo would find out that I was pretending to be a female college student, so I had to stop at a nearby street corner and let Ginjo go first..."

"I thought my schedule was different from that of my college classmates, so we wouldn't meet even if we lived in the same apartment. But tonight..."

So that's how it is... The truth is revealed, and all of Ginjo's doubts from that day are resolved.

Mochizuki Haruka said so much in one breath, and the amount of information was so overwhelming that Ginjo Sosuke was overwhelmed for a moment.

An office lady who was forced to wear a high school uniform because of her friend's drunken ramblings was rescued by a handsome boy when she was being harassed on the train.

The teenager was also his neighbor who lived in the same apartment.

This kind of outrageous coincidence can only appear in novels...

After taking a long break, Ginjo drank a few sips of water and saw that Mochizuki Haruka had calmed down.

Ginjo Sousuke asked.

"If I hadn't recognized you at the door of my apartment tonight, would you still be wearing your college uniform when you asked me out this weekend?"

This question made Mochizuki Haruka's face, which had just returned to its milky white color, turn red again in an instant.

"Well... maybe... maybe... because dating a college boy is what I've always wanted to do."

"Of course, I pretended to be a female college student again."

Mochizuki Haruka added this deliberately, fearing that Ginjo would think she was an old cow who only wanted to eat young grass.

"Well... since Ginjo-san already knows the truth, can we still go ahead with our planned meeting this weekend?"

Perhaps because of shyness, Mochizuki Haruka's voice became softer when asking questions.

"Why not? I've already cleared my weekend anyway."

"Besides, I also want to explore Tokyo again. I was alone last time and felt a little lonely, haha."

Seeing Ginjō's hearty and brilliant smile, Mochizuki Haruka also started smiling.

"By the way, Miss Mochizuki, please wear your university uniform on weekends. You look very good in a uniform."

"Eh...Is it really possible? Ginjō-san."

"Of course, and there are many new entertainment activities for college students nowadays. We can experience them together."

"Yeah, thank you Ginjo-san."

Mochizuki Haruka said with a gentle yet passionate look.

"Ginjō-san is such a gentle guy who cares about girls."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her shy yet charming smile seemed to be about to suck Ginjo in.

Ginjo and Mochizuki stared at each other for a few seconds, and a feeling of shyness gradually emerged, so they both turned their heads away at the same time.

It seems like I have really returned to the youthful and ignorant ambiguity of college days...

Chapter 24: Buds

Faced with the current situation, Mochizuki Haruka obviously has no experience at all.
