Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

With absolute trust in Ginjo, she adjusted her pace and struck hard.

After a muffled "bang", the scene erupted in warm cheers.

"Hit! Hit!"

Hearing this, Lisa Shiraishi took off her blindfold, and what she saw was the smiling face of Ginjō standing in the front of the crowd.

"Great, it worked!"

She excitedly threw the inflatable stick aside and threw herself into Yincheng's arms...

The happy time passed in a flash. After receiving the winning prize, Lisa Shiraishi took Ginjō with her to the observation deck to admire the sunset that was about to sink into the sea level.

Before, Lisa Shiraishi proudly told Gincheng that one could enjoy a pretty spectacular sunset from here, but Gincheng felt that her description was too conservative.

Because to him, the scenery before him was as beautiful as a dream.

“I’m really happy today!”

Ginjō, who was standing next to Lisa Shiraishi and admiring the sunset, suddenly said.

His words seemed to be putting an end to the day, which made Shiraishi Lisa feel a little melancholy.

But overall, it’s true that I’m very happy.

"Yeah, I'm really happy..."

She murmured intoxicatedly.

It's strange, but until now, Lisa Shiraishi still doubts whether the many interesting things that happened today were just a dream.

"Today is the first time in my life that I play the game of hitting watermelon."

"Really? Then you have quite a talent. You were able to hit the target the first time."

"I've only seen it on TV before, but I've never had this opportunity before."

"It seems that when I'm with Sousuke, lucky things always happen~"

After savoring the memory for a while, Lisa Shiraishi took a deep breath.

"I really don't want to go home. It would be great if the sunset could stay there forever. I might have thought so too if I were the old me!"

"Then Lisa won't think so now?"

Ginjo asked her with a smile.

"It would be a lie to say I can't, but—"

At this point, she turned to face Sousuke.

Lisa Shiraishi looked directly at Ginjo Sosuke's face, which was dyed red by the setting sun, and she seemed to have the feeling of not playing anymore...

Chapter 319: Imai Natsuka's Heartstrings

At the beach of Midorikawa, the hot day is gradually coming to an end.

The setting sun slowly fell like a giant warm-colored cake, smearing the edge of the sky and dyeing the entire sea surface with a layer of orange-yellow afterglow.

The breeze blows across the sea, gently ruffling people's hair, accompanied by the sound of waves, as if carrying the breath of the entire midsummer.

On the observation deck, Ginjo Sousuke and Shiraishi Lisa faced each other hand in hand.

Yincheng's trouser legs were rolled up high, exposing his strong calves, which shone with a healthy glow in the sun.

The hem of Lisa Shiraishi's dress fluttered gently in the sea breeze, her long silver hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her smiling face made her look like an angel descended to earth.

"But I think there will be more opportunities like today in the future."

Although she was a little reluctant to leave, she felt that the trip was very satisfying.

"That's right."

Yincheng looked at the halo of sunset falling behind her and was a little dazed for a moment.

"To be honest, I haven't been back to Midorikawa in all these years, and I'm afraid I'll let myself down."

"But everything here is still as beautiful as I remember it when I was a child."

"The emerald green sea, the golden beach, the magnificent sunset, and the "clear water" that is about to disappear..."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot about Xia Hua and Astra, whom I just met today..."

Shiraishi Lisa wanted to see Ginjō's expression a little longer, so she continued.

"I'm glad to see you so happy, Lisa."

"Really, really, really - I'm so happy!"

"In fact, I never thought that college life was fun before, but this summer is different. I am having a great time! No, that's more accurate."

Lisa Shiraishi paused intentionally here.

"Ok?"

Sosuke tilted his head curiously.

"—Since the moment I met Sousuke, every day has been filled with fun."

Lisa Shiraishi looked at Ginjō and said with a smile.

The setting sun slowly sank into the horizon.

The street lights along the street lit up one after another.

"I want to be with Sousuke, to enjoy more beautiful scenery, taste different foods, and experience more new things with you."

"And—I hope you, Sosuke, will enjoy my company, too."

Ginjo Sousuke just listened to her silently.

For a while - almost as long as it took for the sun to completely disappear below the horizon - the two of them just stared at each other in silence.

"I was so excited today that I made a willful request. Is that not okay? So... Sosuke..."

Perhaps Lisa Shiraishi could no longer bear this atmosphere and slowly lowered her head.

"What are you talking about, Lisa? Of course I'd love to!"

Ginjo's cheerful answer was like a ray of salvation, instantly recharging Shiraishi Lisa's energy.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, then put her arms around Ginjo's neck and hugged him tightly.

Hotter, thicker, more engaging than ever before...

The four overlapping red lips, the sweet reflections blending into one, and the endless blue sea, the flow of time seems to have lost its meaning at this moment...

"What? The B&B isn't going to close yet!"

After the sun went down, the two packed their luggage and prepared to take the train home. Granny Shimizu, who came to see them off, spoke to them as if nothing had happened.

“Isn’t Qingshui going to be shut down? Why?”

"What's wrong? You hope my store will close down soon?"

Granny Qingshui glared at them fiercely.

No! It would be best if the B&B didn't close down, but...

"I heard from my father that you were going to shut down the "Clear Water", so I wanted to come back and play once in the last minute..."

Lisa Shiraishi answered Granny Shimizu somewhat embarrassedly.

"Ah - I see, that's what it is. The B&B is going to be closed down for sure."

"Eh? Are we still going to lock him up? What's going on?"

"It's just that we're temporarily closed for this season because the B&B needs to be remodeled."

"Refit?!!"

Hearing Granny Shimizu's unexpected announcement, Lisa Shiraishi's eyes widened.

Ignoring the two people who were somewhat confused about the situation, Granny Shimizu continued speaking nonchalantly.

"Do you remember that our B&B has a dish called braised conch?"

"Of course I remember. Didn't we just eat it this morning..."

“In fact, that dish went viral on social media.”

“Go viral on social networks?”

Ginjo couldn't help but repeat herself after not expecting to hear such novel words from an old lady in her seventies.

"After becoming popular, the number of guests doubled and we made a lot of money - the problem is that the appearance of our B&B can easily put off young people, right?"

“The sliding door at the entrance was often stuck due to disrepair, so I decided to convert it into a trendy cafe that plays City PoP music.”

"City PoP?"

"Look at this, this is a new menu I came up with."

Ginjo Sousuke and Shiraishi Lisa looked at each other. The continuous impact left neither of them speechless.

Grandma Qingshui took out her cell phone and showed it to the two people.

They were surprised to learn that Grandma Qingshui also had a mobile phone, but what was even more surprising was that the phone she used was the latest model?

And after briefly browsing the content on the screen, the two people were shocked for the third time.

Because Grandma Shimizu’s mobile phone screen is full of food photos that can easily attract many people’s likes as long as they are posted on social networks.

"First, the signature dish is the braised conch, which is very eye-catching on social networks, and then there is the steamed oysters with yuzu, which is made in a hollowed-out yuzu."

“Of course there are desserts too, like the clear blue Midorikawa ice cream soda.”

"This floating ice cream simulates the setting sun about to sink into the sea, so it's orange, and... ah, this, this."

After saying this, Grandma Qingshui showed them one of the photos.

“This is color-changing shaved ice dyed with a special flower tea called butterfly pea—I named it Magic Moment! It looks beautiful in photos!”

"What a great merchant soul..."
