Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Ginjo dropped his backpack on the ground at his feet and approached her with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"That's because of Sousuke. He made me experience some weird things, so I became like this."

Once the door to the new world is opened, it is easy for conservative outsiders to indulge in it. Kana Kobayakawa, who has always been law-abiding, is a good example.

From the apartment to the hotel, from the wooden house to the mountains, Yincheng led her step by step to open her eyes. Only then did she realize that this matter could be so varied and exciting.

"Okay, okay, since I'm the one who taught Kana bad things, I must take the responsibility of meeting Kana's needs."

Ginjo stretched out his hands and placed them on her shoulders. Kobayakawa Kana leaned back subconsciously, directly against the thick tree trunk.

One of the main reasons why summer is Yincheng's favorite season is the various short skirts that girls wear.

Its convenience is simply unmatched by any other clothing. You can wear it at any time and any place with just a flick of the wrist, without any hindrance.

Overlapping footprints were left on the soil, and closely connected figures were reflected in the stream.

The melodious sound echoes among thousands of trees, and the soul leaves the body and swims freely in the lush green nature.

They walked around and scattered seeds like this, and did not come out of the dense forest until evening.

The sky has been dyed with a hint of orange and red, and the heat that has been steaming the earth for a long time has begun to slowly dissipate.

Night is about to fall in this little-known Hokkaido village, and the cozy and peaceful atmosphere is like that of a retired old man.

"How's it going, Kana? Have you digested it completely now?"

Ginjo Sousuke said to her with a smile.

"Well, Sosuke is really amazing. He doesn't even complain of being tired after doing so many times."

There are several deep creases on Kana Kobayakawa's skirt, and I don't know if it can be restored to its original state.

"It's nothing. I've been training in the sports club for so many years, and I've long been accustomed to all kinds of intensity."

Training in the swimming pool is important, but in addition to the support of the system, what allows Yincheng to control his body so freely is also thanks to the continuous actual combat in the past few months.

"That's the same. It feels like this talent belongs only to Sosuke."

Kana Kobayakawa walked softly, as if every step was on cotton.

"Are you hungry, Kana? Let's go get something to eat."

The B&B did not provide dinner, so they had to solve this problem before returning to Rusutsu no Mitsuru.

"Yeah, actually, I had an idea when we were at the river just now. How about we go to the restaurant that serves herbed pig dishes tonight?"

Because of the intense exercise, Kana Kobayakawa had already consumed all the calories stored at noon.

"Vanilla pig? It sounds delicious. What are we waiting for? Let's go over there."

Ginjo opened the map and took a look. Their target was only a few hundred meters away from their current location. He was now wondering if Kana Kobayakawa had already planned the future route since noon.

Maybe it was the peak dinner time, the restaurant was crowded, and this might be the busiest time in the whole village.

Based on the recommendation of the waiter, the two people chose the deluxe herb pork set meal for two, which included grilled pork skewers, pork rice, pan-fried pork chops and a variety of side dishes.

If the lunch was mainly composed of refreshing vegetarian food, then what was in front of them now was a complete meat feast.

Whether it's the sizzling grilled meat skewers, the golden and crispy fried pork chops, or the rice bowl filled with meat, every bite makes people feel extremely satisfied.

"Mmm, it really is vanilla pork. It's so delicious. The taste is different from ordinary pork."

For Kana Kobayakawa, who had eaten sausages all afternoon, this meaty dinner was more to her liking.

“I never thought that such a small place like Makkari Village could produce so many surprising specialties.”

Ginjo Sousuke nodded, feeling very satisfied with the small village he had stumbled upon by accident.

"Maybe it's because we've been in Tokyo for so long that we're so interested in the remote countryside."

Living in a city full of steel and concrete for a long time will indeed make people slowly become numb and no longer have the desire to pursue new things.

"It seems like we need to hang out more often in the future, even if it's just to help us adjust our mood."

Yincheng couldn't help but look out the window. On the darkened road, only a few scattered lights from farmhouses were left.

"It seems that I have to work harder after I return, so that I can get more vacation time."

Kana Kobayakawa looked full of energy because she had filled her stomach.

There was nothing special in the itinerary for the last day. The two of them just wandered around the village freely and bought some gifts to take back.

When they left, they went to the parking lot to say goodbye to Ms. Miura Reiko, and then took a ride with Mr. Megure back to Kutchan Town.

Take the train from Kutchan back to Otaru, and then return to Sapporo from Otaru.

Yuriko Kobayakawa was waiting at the gate early to welcome the two tired people home. After another night, they would board a plane back to Tokyo.

"Welcome back. You must be exhausted."

She took the backpack from her daughter and shook Ginjo's hand with a smile on her face.

"I brought you a lot of good things, Mom."

As soon as Kana Kobayakawa entered the living room, she excitedly opened her luggage and soon filled the table with large boxes and small cans.

"Oh, you guys have a great harvest, you bought so many things."

Yuriko Kobayakawa picked up a few items at random and began to study them with great interest.

"These are for Mrs. Kobayakawa. We thought you would like them."

Ginjo Sosuke quickly picked out the jam gift box, pickled herb pork ham, lily roots, and dried tofu made with spring water from Mt. Yotei.

For a housewife, nothing can arouse her interest more than a gift related to cooking.

"This is too expensive, Sousuke. What can I say?"

Yuriko Kobayakawa clenched her hands in front of her chest, seeming a little flattered.

"This is what I should do, Mrs. Kobayakawa. Thank you for your care these days."

Ginjo Sousuke's answer was as generous and polite as ever.

"Thank you, Sousuke, for still thinking of me even when you're out having fun."

Yuriko Kobayakawa only felt a warm current rising in her heart, rushing through her body, with nowhere to vent.

"Actually, we have one more thing we want to ask mom~"

Kana Kobayakawa had been busy preparing the souvenirs, and then she remembered that there was another important thing.

"Don't worry, I can do anything as long as I can help."

Before Yuriko Kobayakawa could finish her words, she agreed immediately.

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Just before lunch, a guest arrived at the Kobayakawa family's residence.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Kobayakawa, long time no see."

Sato Mika, who was invited, greeted Kobayakawa Yuriko at the entrance.

"Come in, Meihe, you've become more beautiful again."

Although it is not obvious from the clothes that Sato Miho, who walked in behind her, has a slightly gyaru style in her hairstyle and makeup.

The fingernails holding the bag also fit in with her fashionista style, filled with all kinds of colorful and sparkling decorations.

In comparison, Kana Kobayakawa looks much more dignified in her home clothes.

"You specially invited me to your house today. Is there something wrong, Kana?"

Sitting on the futon in the living room, she asked her best friend curiously.

"You'll know in a moment. It's definitely a big event that will surprise you."

Kana Kobayakawa kept the secret and then came and sat down next to her.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ginjo Sousuke walked into the kitchen, picked up the three plates that Kobayakawa Yuriko had just prepared, and returned to the table.

"Okay, let's try it, Meihe. Please try it in order starting from the left."

Sato Mie didn't react for a moment and looked at the plate in front of her with an expression of incomprehension.

"Croquette?"

In front of her were three golden croquettes of the same size but different shapes.

The one on the leftmost plate is round, the one in the middle plate is flat and oval, and the one on the right is cylindrical.

"Maybe one of these is the dream croquette I've been looking for?"

Sato Miwa was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand Kobayakawa Kana's intention of asking her to come over.

"You won't know until you eat it."

Kobayakawa Kana and Ginjo Sosuke looked at each other and urged her to pick up the knife and fork at hand...

Chapter 403 Kobayakawa Yuriko's Actions Under the Table

This time's croquette tasting event is what Kana Kobayakawa said she would ask her mother for help with yesterday.

Although she had obtained the recipe from Reiko Miura, it was still quite difficult for her to produce a perfect work in such a short time.

After all, cooking techniques require years of practice and polishing, and this is also the part she lacks most at the moment.

In order to give this journey home a perfect ending on the last day, she chose to ask her mother for help.

Yuriko Kobayakawa took on the task without any hesitation, as exploring various new and exotic dishes has always been her interest.

It just so happened that the lily roots her daughter brought back from Makkari Village were an ingredient she had never tried before. If she could really make them successfully, she could add a new item to her menu in the future.

The mother and daughter carefully studied Reiko Miura's recipe, and got up early this morning and went into the kitchen to start replicating and recreating it.

Ginjo Sosuke was not assigned any work, so most of the time he just stood at the door and watched them busy themselves.

Because there were guests coming today, Yuriko Kobayakawa put on some light makeup. Looking from the direction of Ginjo, the two beauties exuded slightly different but equally mature charms.

It seemed like it was the first time that he looked at the mother and daughter so intently. From their appearance, the two were only about 50% similar, and in terms of stature, Kana Kobayakawa was taller.

But there is only one thing that can make people confirm their mother-daughter relationship at a glance. Yes, this proud and upright curve is not something that can be inherited casually.

Kana Kobayakawa is now entering the most interesting peak period of a woman's life, and Yuriko Kobayakawa, whose blooming period has expired but whose charm remains, must have been a popular object when she was young.

The sense of maturity she gives is different from that of Tomoko Matsumoto. Perhaps every mature woman has a unique flavor of her own.
