Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

This desire turned into a strong motivation, prompting Chiaki Hoshino to take the initiative to learn how to peel shrimp, process fish, and even remove the ink sacs from octopuses or cuttlefish.

Strangely enough, Matsumoto Sachiko kept staring at the shrimps peeled by Hoshino Chiaki, and then nodded as if she had discovered something.

“Shrimp is delicious, but it is a challenge for those who are just starting to eat it.”

She suddenly said thoughtfully.

"Ok?"

Chiaki Hoshino didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

"Look, Sister Qianqiu."

Sachiko Matsumoto picked up the unshelled prawns with a serious expression on her face, not like she was joking.

"The shrimp looks scary, with a bunch of legs like an insect, and eyes that are like BB bullets and look like aliens."

"Moreover, it is clearly green in the sea, but turns red after being cooked. No matter how delicious it is, it will make people wonder if it is poisonous."

Her fantastic theory made Hoshino Chiaki a little confused for a moment.

"Yes, indeed. After hearing what you said, I really think the first person to eat shrimp is amazing~"

However, Chiaki Hoshino still agreed with her.

"Right? Unless there is a reason, who would dare to eat it~"

"It must be a fisherman who lost a game of rock-paper-scissors and was forced to eat shrimp as punishment, which started the history of humans eating shrimp."

Ginjo couldn't help but frown as he listened to their nonsensical conversation.

“I think it’s very possible~”

Chie Hoshino, who was stirring hamburger meat, also joined their conversation.

"Sachiko is right. I also think there are many ingredients in the world that humans dare not try."

"For example, the giant isopod looks similar to shrimp. Maybe it's delicious, too?"

"Sister Chie, the giant isopod seems to be a distant relative of the dumpling worm."

"Hmm~ So the dango worms are relatively small shrimps, so they might be a delicious ingredient?"

Now is not the time to stir the hamburger meat. Chie Hoshino just nodded vigorously, eager to verify her new discovery immediately.

"Okay, failure is the mother of success! I'll go outside and turn over some rocks and grab a few dango worms to put on Sosuke's chirashi sushi—"

"That's not good at all, sis! Don't look for sushi ingredients that are doomed to fail!"

Although Ginjo knew they were joking, he still doubted whether Chie Hoshino's joining would allow him to have a normal dinner, regardless of the dango bug...

Another thing that made him more certain was that girls' brain circuits were completely different from boys', so it was better not to try to understand their thinking...

After everyone had worked hard to complete their tasks, it was time for the long-awaited dinner.

Despite the landmine of Chie Hoshino, the two cooking masters Tomoko Matsumoto and Chiaki Hoshino still showed excellent cooperation and successfully served a table of rich and luxurious dishes.

The seafood chirashi sushi is topped with shrimp, tuna, salmon, and scallops, and the most attractive thing is the large amount of salmon roe, which makes you wonder if it is free.

With the embellishment of peas and egg filaments, it creates a luxurious feeling that makes gems pale in comparison.

Next up is the thick, fluffy grilled hamburger patty.

When you pierce it with a knife or fork, the gravy oozes out, and it goes perfectly with the special hamburger sauce that is made separately.

Other items include fried chicken, pasta, Caesar salad, potato salad, etc.

With so many people having dinner together, the dishes on the dining table in the hall are naturally very gorgeous.

"Ah, this hamburger must have been made by Chie-san..."

Having discovered something good, Matsumoto Sachiko picked out a hamburger steak from the big plate and put it on her own small plate without hesitation.

Chie Hoshino, who was sitting next to her and rolling up spaghetti with a fork, was slightly stunned.

"Sachiko, how do you know it was me?"

"It's simple, because it's your size."

"My size?"

Matsumoto Sachiko opened her palms in front of Hoshino Chie with a smile on her face, and then she suddenly realized.

Chie Hoshino's size means she is petite.

Although there was no need for comparison, she still put her palm together with Matsumoto Sachiko.

"Hehe, it seems that what Sachiko said was right. You can tell at a glance that the hamburger steak was made by me."

Sure enough, this comparison makes me look much smaller.

"I also found a hamburger steak made by Chie."

Ginjo pointed at a clearly abnormal mass of objects on the large plate.

It was a long piece of charcoal - no, it was a completely burnt and tattered hamburger steak.

This was probably Chie Hoshino's first failed attempt at cooking.

"Ah, Sousuke found out. So please don't let my careful preparation go to waste. I'll leave this charcoal-grilled hamburger steak to you."

Chie Hoshino smiled at Ginjō without a trace of guilt.

"Absolutely not!"

Yincheng rejected her righteously.

"Okay, okay, you two stop messing around, let's discuss what to do after dinner, shall we?"

Tomoko Matsumoto interrupted their quarrel.

"Would you like to go take a bath together?"

Sasaki Yukiko put down the cutlery in her hands and suggested...

Chapter 278: The large bath filled with the scent of cypress

After hearing what Sasaki Sachiko said, Ginjo Sosuke and Hoshino Chie, who were arguing fiercely, stopped what they were doing immediately.

They remembered that the happy journey was not over yet.

In this luxurious B&B with complete facilities, there are countless things for everyone to spend their time.

You can play darts or billiards in the recreation room, and work up a sweat through a variety of competitive activities.

You can watch movies or play video games in the audio-visual box and enjoy the pleasure brought by the immersive big screen and stereo sound system.

You can also come to the square with a panoramic view of the sea and sing the praises of the beauty of summer with the fireworks kits provided by the boss.

What should we do? It's really hard to choose.

There are so many choices that it’s exciting to even think about them.

Just when everyone's eyes were sparkling with joy at the upcoming future──

As a result, Yukiko Sasaki suggested taking a bath together?

Well, there is indeed a fairly large bath here.

But if this is the case, wouldn't Ginjo seem a little lonely?

After all, he is the only boy here...

If he invited any of the girls present to take a bath together, Yincheng felt that there would most likely be no problem.

But taking a bath with all of them doesn't seem to be that easy.

Maybe there will be such a day in the future?

No matter what, we still have to have dreams...

After discussing it for a while, everyone seemed to agree that relaxing the body with hot water after a meal and a drink was a good idea.

As for other entertainment activities, there will be plenty of time later.

Apart from a small incident created by Chie Hoshino, the dinner prepared by everyone working together was perfect.

In a gust of wind, all the delicious food on the table was swept away.

After a quick tidy up, it was time to take a bath as agreed upon earlier.

The large public bath filled with the scent of cypress is a great place to wash away a day's fatigue.

It's just that the separate bathrooms for men and women are a bit inconvenient for Yincheng...

"Sousuke, do you want to take a shower with us?"

Perhaps seeing Ginjō's admiration, Chie Hoshino asked Ginjō with a smile at the entrance of the bathhouse.

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? This is not a mixed bathing hot spring!"

Before Ginjō could answer, Hoshino Chiaki hurriedly grabbed her sister.

"What's the big deal, Chiaki? We've been playing at the beach for so long anyway, it's just that we took off our swimsuits."

What Chie Hoshino said seemed to make some sense. The difference between sea bathing and bathing was actually only a few small pieces of cloth.

"It's that swimsuit that's the problem. Come in with me quickly, sister."

Chiaki Hoshino glanced at Ginjo who was listening with great interest, her face instantly flushed, and she quickly dragged her sister into the women's bathroom.

"Sorry, Sosuke, it was Chiaki who didn't allow you to come in~"

"Ah, that's not the case, sister."

The two sisters disappeared behind the curtain, and such shouting was heard.

Yincheng smiled helplessly, then turned and went into the men's bathroom.

Soaking in such a big pool alone, one feels quite lonely.

The women's bathroom across the wall is a completely different scene...

"That guy Sosuke really didn't apply the paint properly for me."

Maybe because she didn't apply enough sunscreen, Chie Hoshino felt a sharp pain in her buttocks.
