Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Ginjo had thought she could at least hold out until the fireworks started, but he hadn't expected her mouth to have been non-stop ever since she entered the venue.

"Sushi? Isn't that just an appetizer? The purpose of appetizers is to whet people's appetite so that they can enjoy the food that comes later, haha."

Chie Hoshino shamelessly promotes her theory.

"Sister Qianqiu, did you guys see anything interesting just now?"

Compared to Chie Hoshino's obsession with food, Sachiko Matsumoto seems to be more interested in various amusement projects.

"I looked around for a long time, but I didn't see any stalls selling goldfish."

She shook her head and complained to Chiaki Hoshino.

"Goldfish catching? I think Sosuke and I saw one on our way to the lockers just now."

Chiaki Hoshino's eyes rolled and she tried hard to recall.

"Really? Take me with you, please?"

Matsumoto Sachiko shook her sleeves excitedly.

"Eh? Are you going to abandon me so soon, Sachiko? I haven't eaten enough yet, there are still many delicious stalls ahead."

Chie Hoshino continued after taking a big bite.

"Then Chie-sister can just go shopping by herself."

Matsumoto Sachiko took Hoshino Chiaki's arm and seemed ready to turn against her completely.

"Huh? How can you say such cold words in such hot weather? You are so heartless, Sachiko."

"Besides, if you eat something delicious, you have to share it with others to be happy. It's boring to just keep it to yourself."

As Chie Hoshino spoke, she pouted her little mouth.

"Okay, I'll continue to walk around here with my sister, and I'll ask Sosuke to take Sachiko to catch the goldfish."

Chiaki Hoshino didn't know if she wanted to stay and accompany her sister because she felt guilty for running away just now.

"Hmm? Okay, Sousuke, do you remember where that booth is?"

Matsumoto Sachiko turned her hopes to Ginjo.

"Yes, no problem. I have some impression. It shouldn't be difficult to find it as long as we go in that direction."

"It's a good idea to arrange this. It would be troublesome if Chie were alone."

Among the four of them, Ginjo is the only boy, but Chie Hoshino is very powerful and can barely play a protective role.

If only Chiaki Hoshino and Sachiko Matsumoto were on the move, they might be approached or harassed, so it is necessary to equip each of them with a qualified bodyguard.

But if Chie Hoshino was left alone, it might be impossible for everyone to get together until the fireworks display was over.

So from this point of view, Chiaki Hoshino's proposal may be the perfect choice.

"What do you mean it's going to be troublesome for me to be alone? Sousuke is looking down on me again."

Although Chie Hoshino was blinded by the delicious food, she still heard some key points from Ginjo's words.

"Then why didn't anyone answer my dozens of phone calls? If you were alone, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to watch the fireworks display, but would have to go out in full force to look for you."

"Well, it's because it's too noisy here, so I didn't hear it..."

After being hit directly in the vital point by Ginjo Sosuke, Chie Hoshino instantly lost her confidence while speaking.

"Okay, sister, let's go. Didn't you hear the announcement just now? The fireworks display will start in an hour."

Chiaki Hoshino waved to Ginjo and Matsumoto Sachiko, then pulled her sister and hurried forward.

"What broadcast? Why didn't I pay attention to it? Does that mean I only have one hour to enjoy the delicious food? Oh, no!"

Chie Hoshino's wails gradually faded away as the two people left.

"Let's go too, Sachiko."

"Uh-huh."

Matsumoto Sachiko followed Ginjo Sosuke obediently, her wooden clogs making brisk tapping sounds.

The two men quickly found the goldfish catching stall that Ginjo and Chiaki Hoshino had passed by before. Ginjo took out a few coins to pay the owner, then brought two paper nets and a small bowl.

"Maybe it's because the yukata I'm wearing today has a goldfish pattern on it, so I feel like playing a game of scooping up goldfish."

Matsumoto Sachiko slowly squatted down and explained to Ginjō with a smile before starting the game.

"Then let's have a competition to see who can catch more goldfish."

Yincheng also found a seat next to her, looking eager to try.

"Yeah, I was very good at catching goldfish when I was a kid. I wouldn't lose to Sousuke."

This kind of entertainment would be much more fun if there was competition than playing it alone. Matsumoto Sachiko rolled up her sleeves and a serious expression appeared on her face.

The two people's nets slid back and forth in the water, patiently looking for an opportunity.

Scooping goldfish may seem like a childish game for kids, but there are actually a lot of skills and tricks involved.

Just like the National Goldfish Scooping Contest held every August, it has been almost thirty years old without us noticing.

As the number of times increased, the spoils in the two people's small bowls became more and more.

As expected, Matsumoto Sachiko did not brag. Her technique was quite sophisticated and she could accurately capture the target almost every time.

Although Yincheng also worked very hard, he was still a little behind her in terms of skills, so he naturally lost in the number of goldfish he caught.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed it very much, but as I got older, I gradually stopped playing with these things.

So even Ginjo was a little surprised that he would be playing seriously with Matsumoto Sachiko among a group of children.

Come to think of it, it's not bad to regain your childishness with cute girls, and it's fun to play with them once in a while at a festival.

More importantly, seeing Matsumoto Sachiko enjoying the festival and having fun with him made Ginjo feel from the bottom of his heart that this was a really great feeling.

Matsumoto Sachiko's shiny black and neat short hair was styled particularly delicately today. She looked particularly eye-catching in a yukata, which contrasted well with her cute appearance.

Her lively and clear eyes and the goldfish pattern swimming on her yukata give people a refreshing impression suitable for hot summer days.

Well, the cute girls in Japan look great in yukata, and it’s even more beautiful to have such a curvy girl by her side!

"Haha, I win this time~"

Matsumoto Sachiko held the bag high in her hand, and the little fish inside were swimming happily.

"Well, I admit defeat. Sachiko is really skillful with her hands."

Ginjo looked at her happy expression and smiled generously as well.

"Today, Sousuke praised me twice in a row. I feel really satisfied, hehe."

As Matsumoto Sachiko spoke, she unconsciously moved towards Ginjō.

Ginjo soon felt a warm and familiar touch on his arm, a feeling he had experienced countless times on Matsumoto Tomoko, and now it was her daughter.

One is more elastic, with a youthful firmness, while the other is warm and soft, with a mature charm that seems to melt everything.

There is no superiority or inferiority, no good or bad, every magnificent gift of motherhood is a supreme enjoyment for Yincheng.

Matsumoto Sachiko is like the most perfect work created by her wife, and she inherited all the excellent genes from her wife.

Even her love for Ginjo seemed to have flowed into her blood.

"Ah! It's Ginjo-senpai!"

Yincheng, who was immersed in the land of tenderness and unable to extricate himself, heard a familiar voice calling his name from behind.

He looked back and saw that they were two girls who belonged to the water polo club with him.

"Midorikawa-san, Kurizono-san, you guys are here at the festival too, what a coincidence."

Ginjo Sousuke waved and greeted them.

Like many girls who came here, they both changed into eye-catching yukatas.

Midorikawa's yukata has a bright yellow base color, and the pattern is hibiscus painted with white space.

At first glance, it gives people a flashy impression, but the contrast between yellow and white suppresses the flashy feeling, and instead makes it elegant. Or perhaps it is the calm yellow-green belt that brings out this impression.

In contrast, Kurizono wore a low-key yukata made of purple fabric with a morning glory pattern.

This color seems to suck people in deeply. It is very much like the color that Li Yuan, who rarely expresses emotions and always seems a little cold, would choose. It fits the atmosphere very well and can be said to be her representative color.

It might not be appropriate to evaluate his teammates like this, but Ginjo felt a sexiness, or even a charm, from them that was beyond their age.

However, compared to how they looked in yukata, Ginjo felt that Matsumoto Sachiko's appearance in yukata was more eye-catching.

"Yeah, Ginjo-senpai is here to watch the fireworks too? Hey, why isn't Shiraishi-senpai with you?"

Midorikawa, who was one grade lower than Ginjo, had a sharp look in her eyes like a detective. She sounded like she was asking Shiraishi Lisa, but in fact she kept staring at the girl next to Ginjo.

She gives off the aura of a wife who has discovered her husband cheating on her. I wonder where she learned that from.

When Ginjo turned his gaze to Li Yuan beside her, he found that she was gently covering the corner of her mouth and smiling gently.

"Sister Shiraishi is going to an internship, didn't you know?"

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is the daughter of my apartment landlord. I came here with a few neighbors today."

Ginjo didn't seem to care about Midorikawa's meaningful look and introduced Matsumoto Sachiko to the two of them naturally.

His relationship with Lisa Shiraishi was no longer a secret in the water polo club, but his popularity among girls was also well known throughout the school.

So when cute girls appear around him outside of school, Ginjo thinks they should be able to understand.

"These two are my classmates in the water polo club, Midorikawa and Kurizono."

"Hello, I'm Matsumoto."

"Hello, hello, Ms. Matsumoto."

After the yukata girls facing each other politely greeted each other, Midorikawa and Kurizono seemed to be whispering something together, but because of the noise of the festival, Ginjō couldn't hear clearly.

"Then let's not disturb Senior Ginjo for now. We still need to go to the river to find a spot to watch the fireworks."

"Okay, let's go back to school and see you later."

After the unexpected encounter, Matsumoto Sachiko and Ginjo Sosuke, who remained where they were, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Sousuke knows a lot of cute girls. Who is the Shiraishi-senpai that the lady just mentioned?"
