Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Although it sounds illogical, she relies on this kind of thinking to alleviate her guilt.

Seeing Natsuka Imai taking pictures with her cell phone, Ginjo stopped disturbing her and looked around the store with some boredom.

The decoration of this store is obviously much more modern than the previous two stores, and even the music played is currently popular girl group hits.

Just then, the slightly fat boss brought a plate to the table.

"Awaited."

He spoke to the two with a typical business smile.

"We didn't seem to order anything else except these two glasses of iced tea..."

Ginjo Sousuke looked at him with some confusion.

"This is a special gift from my store to you two. This must be your first time here, so you may look a little unfamiliar."

Is this a way to attract new customers? Before Yincheng could answer, the boss continued.

"Just now I saw this lady at the bar taking notes with her phone. Is she doing some kind of assessment?"

"If so, I would like to ask you to give us more favorable comments."

Maybe the boss thought they were some internet celebrities with a large number of fans, so he was so polite and gave them extra snacks.

You have to know that in the current Internet environment, the evaluation of a big internet celebrity is quite important for a small shop like theirs.

"You misunderstood uncle. I just recorded it for personal reasons. Your iced tea is delicious. I will give you a good review."

Natsuka Imai and Sosuke Ginjo looked at each other, then explained to the boss somewhat embarrassedly.

"That's right, you should take this back."

One should not receive gifts without merit, and Yincheng also felt that it was inappropriate to accept such an inexplicable gift.

"Haha, that's impossible. Even if you're not a professional reviewer, you're still a distinguished customer visiting our store for the first time."

"This is our signature salt-grilled saury. You guys should try it. If you think it's good, come here often."

Unable to resist the boss's hospitality, the two men reluctantly agreed.

Indeed, apart from salt-grilled saury, there is no other food that can emit such a mouth-watering and tempting aroma, and it is currently the season when saury is the fattest.

"Please dip it in salt according to your taste."

The boss gave them special instructions before leaving.

"Don't we usually dip it in soy sauce?"

Natsuka Imai asked without hesitation.

"The deep well salt used here is also one of the characteristics of our restaurant. The flavor is also unique. Please enjoy it slowly."

The boss said this with a smile on his face and turned away.

In any case, it would be a waste to leave the saury to get cold, so the two looked at each other, then each picked up their chopsticks and took a bite of the salt-grilled saury.

This saury was not only grilled to perfection, the saltiness was just right, and the meat was plump and tender.

“I really want to pair it with rice…”

Natsuka Imai exclaimed with a look of enjoyment on her face.

"I didn't expect that the taste of salt would be surprisingly good. Moreover, the salt is not too salty at all, but gives people a refreshing feeling."

Ginjo nodded as he ate and gave his evaluation.

"Yeah, I'll make a note of this too. The sea salt we have there is also very famous. Maybe we can use it as a pairing."

Natsuka Imai returned to work mode and continued tapping away on her cell phone.

"Come and sit again when you have time."

As they left, the fat boss smiled and waved goodbye to them at the bar.

With such a passionate attitude and high-quality meals, I believe his business will continue to grow.

"Thank you, we will come again."

The two men bowed politely in return and walked out of the store.

They spent quite a bit of time eating and chatting here. Now it was getting dark outside and the temperature was a little cooler than at noon.

"It's a little late, but I'd like to go to another store while I can, Sousuke?"

As soon as Natsuka Imai walked out of the store, she hugged Ginjo's arm again. This time, perhaps because she had let go of the burden in her heart, her movements were obviously much calmer.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

Ginjo Sousuke answered her with a chuckle.

"Really? Why do you sound like I forced you to do this? But never mind. I won't bother with you anymore."

Natsuka Imai's mood did not cool down as time went by. Instead, she seemed even more excited than at the beginning of the day.

She swung her arm around Ginjo and swung back and forth before continuing to the next stop with brisk steps.

"You look really energetic. Don't you feel tired after walking around for a whole day?"

Ginjo Sousuke couldn't help but turn around and ask her.

"It's OK. After all, time is tight and the task is heavy. According to the current progress, it will take at least the whole day tomorrow to visit all the stores on the list."

Although I have been running back and forth between stores, compared to the boring work in the convenience store, this business trip is obviously much more interesting.

And most importantly, she is not alone, and no longer has only the fat cat Atlas to accompany her. Ginjo's joining makes the whole journey exciting.

"It seems to be true. Lisa is really professional. She found so many strange shops."

Ginjo has moved to Tokyo for several months, but apart from the small area near his apartment, he knows very little about other places.

After all, this place is so huge that it would take a lot of time to travel across the city even by tram or subway.

"By the way, speaking of Lisa, has she ever stayed in your room?"

For some reason, Natsuka Imai suddenly thought of this question.

"No, why are you asking?"

"So where are you..."

"In her apartment. You are such a gossip."

"So that's how it is, what about the other girls?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Don't be so serious. Guys like you must be very popular, right? Are there a lot of girls vying to get to you?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but no other girls have ever stayed at my place."

When she suddenly asked this, Ginjo Sousuke actually searched his mind and it seemed that apart from Matsumoto Tomoko, there was indeed no other girl who stayed overnight in his room.

"Hehe, it seems that you are not as sentimental as I thought..."

Imai Natsuka suddenly stopped, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a vague expectation rose in her heart...

Chapter 360 I want to take a shower first

Because the convenience store where she worked was going to start a new business, Natsuka Imai volunteered to take on the job.

Accompanied by Ginjo Sosuke, she visited many famous tea shops and coffee shops in Tokyo to collect materials, and the next shop was the last stop of their itinerary for the day.

A few blocks away from the coffee shop "Lovely", after walking back and forth on the noisy street, they arrived at a beautiful cafe surrounded by hedges.

Passing through the old wooden door, the store is filled with a quiet and elegant atmosphere, revealing that this is a store with a long history.

The white-haired, kind-faced boss was quietly brewing coffee behind the counter.

The classical music and antique furniture lingering in the store are all of great taste, but the most breathtaking thing is the magnificent atrium outside the large glass windows.

The atrium, which the owner is proud of, allows people to feel the passage of the four seasons even though they are in the store where time seems to have stopped.

This is the famous coffee shop in Tokyo - "Kakako Coffee".

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This is a French-style Mr. Cook sandwich and coffee set."

A beautiful woman with her hair tied back, who looked like the boss's wife, brought the meal and coffee to their seats.

Seeing the gorgeous presentation, Natsuka Imai gasped.

“French Mr. Cook Sandwich...”

And the name sounded very fashionable, so she couldn't help but repeat it meaninglessly.

Ginjo Sousuke had never seen a French toast sandwich before. At first glance, it looked like a thicker cheese toast, but it didn't seem simpler.

"To put it simply, this is a sandwich made of cheese toast with ham in between...Is that correct? As you can see."

"If you add a poached egg on top of the cheese, it becomes a French Mrs. Cook sandwich, which is the signature dish of this restaurant."

Seeing Ginjō's confused look, Imai Natsuka immediately added some explanation for him.

"So what is this green vegetable?"

"This is watercress salad for serving as a side dish. It's already seasoned and can be eaten directly."

"That's it..."

"Your phone really has all the information? Are you checking it now?"

"Huh? I thought you were going to praise me for being well-read."

"Come on, your expression when the food was served just now already explains it. It's obviously the first time you've seen it, too."

"Let me teach you one more thing. Sometimes, even if you pretend to compliment girls, they will be very happy."

Natsuka Imai closed the theme page introducing this signature dish and casually threw her phone on the table.

"Okay, okay, I'll make a note of it. I didn't expect you would like to be praised. I thought you were the type who wouldn't care about such things."

Ginjo Sousuke took a sip of coffee and smiled easily.

"Hey, Sousuke, you're just too handsome to think about these things. If it were a normal guy, he would have driven the girl away a long time ago."

Natsuka Imai looked at his face and sighed helplessly.
