Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Ok?"

"You said you'd treat me this time..."

Natsuka Imai held Ginjō's wrist tightly with amazing strength.

"Does that mean it's my turn to treat you at the next restaurant?"

Not only that, she said it with her eyes sparkling.

"Ah? That's not what I meant. You're the guest today, so it's okay if I treat you."

Yincheng thought she misunderstood his intention to rush to pay the bill.

"No, no, no, that's not what I care about. I'm just excited about going to the next store with Sousuke."

"Did you drink too much coffee? Wasn't it arranged from the beginning that I would be your companion for the entire day?"

Yincheng found it a little funny and wondered what she was thinking.

"Talking and doing are two different things. I thought you were just going to deal with Lisa casually and then get impatient if you took me to one or two stores."

"I didn't expect you to keep your promise. Let's go! I've already decided where to go to next~"

"Xia Hua, don't we need to take a break at noon?"

"Let's continue to dominate all the stores on the list at this pace!"

She didn't listen to Ginjo at all.

Just like that, Natsuka Imai forcibly dragged Ginjō away from "Arisaema".

And she didn't know when, she had already unconsciously put her arm around Ginjo's...

Chapter 359: Is the question too direct?

On the streets of Tokyo in midsummer, the sun pours down like a waterfall, making the cobblestone roads scorching hot.

The sky was clear blue, with a few white clouds floating leisurely in the air, and occasionally a few unknown birds flying quickly over people's heads.

On both sides of the street, tall plane trees swayed their lush green leaves. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, but it could not dispel the thick and hot air.

Natsuka Imai, who was used to the comfortable weather at the seaside, felt a little dizzy under the scorching sun and impulsively hugged Ginjo's arms.

"What should I do? What should I do? Sousuke will definitely think I'm a pervert, right?"

"But, this guy's arms are really strong, and the degree of softness and hardness is just right. It's so comfortable to hug him..."

"I wonder if he'll be mad about this. If that happens, today's schedule will be ruined. I just made some grand speeches..."

"And...if Lisa knew about this...ah...she would go crazy!"

Natsuka Imai was struggling fiercely in her heart, but her body still leaned on Sosuke Ginjo instinctively, without any change.

"Where's our next store? Didn't you say you'd already decided?"

Ginjo's magnetic voice came from a very close distance, bringing her back to the real world.

"Ah, yes, we are following the navigation route now. We are not far away."

Natsuka Imai hesitated whether to raise her head, as she didn't know how Ginjo would react to her such an intimate behavior.

No matter what, if she kept worrying about it, she felt like her heart would be twisted into a knot.

"I didn't expect you to be more familiar with the streets of Tokyo than I am."

As Ginjo spoke to her, Imai Natsuka finally mustered up the courage to raise her head.

He is laughing.

It was a natural, gentle, refreshing and relaxed smile without any distractions.

Great, he wasn't mad.

Imai Natsuka finally let go of her worries. She took a deep breath as if relieved from a heavy burden, then faced the direction of Ginjo and revealed a smile that was unique to her.

"Now that we have mobile phones, as long as we decide where we want to go, even non-locals can travel around Tokyo."

As Imai Natsuka spoke, she waved the cell phone in her other hand in front of Ginjō.

"That's true. Luckily Lisa marked all the stores so clearly, so it's much easier to find them."

When she heard Ginjo mention Shiraishi Lisa's name, Imai Natsuka's heart skipped a beat again.

"By the way, how's your progress with Lisa?"

She suddenly asked cautiously.

"How about what?"

Ginjo didn't know what exactly she wanted to ask.

"Don't play dumb with me, what else could it be? Of course it's a base hit!"

Natsuka Imai seemed eager to know the answer.

"Huh? Aren't you asking too directly? Besides, shouldn't you ask Lisa about this kind of thing..."

Ginjo asked her back in surprise.

"I asked her last time we met, and she said you haven't taken the last step yet..."

Natsuka Imai pursed her tender lips, looking thoughtful.

"The content of your chat is really bold..."

It seems that girls are just as interested in this as boys...

"What's the big deal? We are all adults now."

Imai Natsuka was actually extremely nervous, but she still pretended to be indifferent.

It’s okay to talk about this topic with girls, but it seems to be the first time for her to do so with a boy.

But she really wanted to know the answer to this question now, so she didn't care about that.

"The destination is on your left. This navigation ends. I wish you a happy life."

Just then, a notification sound came from Natsuka Imai's mobile phone. She looked up and found that the two of them had unknowingly arrived at the next store they were going to inspect.

"Let's go in first, it's too hot outside."

Ginjo opened the door in front, and Imai Natsuka nodded and followed.

This is a coffee shop called "Lovely".

According to the list compiled by Lisa Shiraishi, this restaurant has very good reviews on the "food review website", with an average rating of five stars.

Compared to the two unpopular shops I just visited, this time should be an Internet celebrity shop that is more in line with the trend of the times.

The two of them sat down in a corner by the window and ordered a glass of iced tea each.

Perhaps because it was past the peak lunch hour, the store’s customer flow didn’t seem to match its online fame.

However, the iced tea that was soon delivered to their table tasted really good. As the cool and smooth liquid poured into their mouths, most of the heat in their bodies dissipated instantly.

"You and Lisa already did that, right?"

"cough cough..."

As soon as Imai Natsuka sat down, she dropped a bombshell, which made Ginjo, who was drinking tea, choke and cough continuously.

"Ahem...at least wait until I finish drinking before asking..."

Ginjo took the tissue she handed over and spoke while coughing.

"I asked this question on purpose, so that the answer would be clear at a glance."

Natsuka Imai looked at Ginjō's slightly embarrassed appearance and a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

"In fact, I have already guessed it. The reason why I have been asking you along the way is just to verify my guess."

She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, while leisurely drinking her iced tea.

"Guessed it? How come?"

Unless Lisa Shiraishi had given her some hint, Ginjo had no idea where she came to that conclusion.

"It's simple. It's the expressions and movements you two made when you met in the morning."

"Although we only exchanged a few words at the door of the apartment, the feeling you gave each other was completely different from when I first met you."

Natsuka Imai turned around and spoke confidently.

"Is it that obvious?"

Ginjo Sousuke still felt a little unbelievable. He probably didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right? At most, he simply hugged Shiraishi Lisa.

But this is perfectly normal between lovers, so how could Natsuka Imai connect it to that aspect?

"You may not notice it, but a woman can see it."

"The way Lisa looks at you is much more determined than when she was with Granny Qingshui. It's obvious that you have completed the final steps."

Even though Imai Natsuka explained it this way, Ginjō still didn't understand much. Could he analyze so much just from his eyes and actions?

Later, he simply regarded all of this as women's sixth sense, and then everything seemed to make sense.

"Then it would be a shame if you didn't use your eyes to become a private detective."

This wasn't something that needed to be concealed, so Yincheng admitted it generously.

"Very good, now I feel relieved."

"Hmm? What does this mean?"

"Nothing much. Oops, I forgot to take a picture of the iced tea, and I also have to write up a review about this place."

Whether it was intentional or not, Natsuka Imai skipped Ginjo's question and picked up her phone to get busy.

Phew... Seeing that Ginjo didn't continue to ask... she secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

The reason why she was so eager to confirm whether Ginjō and Shiraishi Lisa had reached base was actually due to a strange idea in her mind.

If they were still lingering at the door of the last step, then my action of carrying Ginjo up would seem like I was the first to get there.

But if they have already done everything, then their behavior wouldn't be a big deal, right?
