Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

As a girl herself, Matsumoto Sachiko could of course hear the subtext in Midorikawa's question just now.

"Shiraishi-senpai is the captain of the water polo club with the two of them. Tomoko-san has also met her."

Ginjo thought there was nothing to hide, so he answered her directly.

"Eh? Has mom seen her too?"

Judging from the tone of the girl just now, this woman named Shiraishi obviously has a special relationship with Yincheng. Does my mother know about this? When did they meet?

Matsumoto Sachiko continued to ask Ginjo Sosuke in confusion, and at the same time, an inexplicable ripple appeared in the depths of her heart...

Chapter 417: At the same time with my mother and Shiraishi-senpai

"Yes, one time I injured my finger while training in the swimming pool. After I came out of the hospital, Shiraishi-senpai insisted on taking me home, so I met Tomoko-san in the apartment."

Ginjo Sosuke gave her a brief account of what had happened.

"So that's how it is. I've never heard my mother mention this before."

Matsumoto Sachiko lowered her head thoughtfully.

"Well, because you were still in school at the time, and it wasn't a big deal."

Ginjo said casually as he pulled her towards the direction where he and the Hoshino sisters had separated.

"Is Sosuke's finger okay now?"

Matsumoto Sachiko subconsciously held Ginjō's hand and observed it carefully.

"Don't worry, I've recovered a long time ago, thanks to Sister Tomoko's care."

During his recovery in Ginjo, Tomoko Matsumoto provided him with special treatment that produced a large amount of dopamine.

"Is it because you felt bad when you saw Sosuke injured? Also, you and that Shiraishi-senpai should be more than just a senior-junior relationship, right?"

When Matsumoto Sachiko was talking about her mother, she suddenly changed the subject and couldn't help but want to clarify the doubts in her heart.

"So what kind of relationship do you think we should have, Sachiko?"

Ginjo didn't intend to avoid this question, but he really wanted to test Matsumoto Sachiko's reaction first.

"Eh? Um... Since the two girls just now asked why Shiraishi-senpai wasn't with you, then you two must be close normally, right?"

Matsumoto Sachiko didn't expect Ginjo to ask her back, so she blurted out the question without much thought.

"It's okay. How should I put it? When Shiraishi-senpai wanted to set up the water polo club, I helped out a little. Then, we trained and competed, and it seemed like we got together naturally."

When it comes to matters of the heart, Yincheng never likes to be secretive. If asked, he will admit it generously.

As for whether girls can accept it, that is their business. After understanding everything, whether they still want to stay with him without hesitation is of course their own choice.

"That is to say, you, mom and that Shiraishi-senpai..."

Matsumoto Sachiko suddenly stopped, as if she was digesting what Ginjo said.

"Why, are you going to go back and tell Sister Tomoko about it?"

Ginjo Sousuke leaned over to her and said with a gentle smile.

"No...no...that's not what I meant..."

Matsumoto Sachiko quickly waved her hands to deny it, but under normal circumstances, shouldn't she be angry in order to protect her mother?

She felt her mind was in a mess, but no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find any clues related to anger.

Even after she had cleared away layer after layer of fog, she actually discovered that there was still a little bit of luck and joy hidden in the deepest part of her heart.

Since Yincheng's mother is not the only woman, does that mean that all girls can be considered potential targets by him?

If that's the case, maybe I can be considered one of them...

A sumptuous meal needs to be shared by many people, and a top idol will have countless fans.

So for a treasure like Silver City that is so perfect that it can shine, wouldn’t it be a bit selfish for only one person to possess it?

My mother probably had the same idea as me, right? She could have guessed how popular Yin Cheng was among the girls in school.

So when mom was with Yincheng, she must have thought about this issue.

She knows that she is not the only one, and she doesn't want to be the only one, so she has such an inclusive and gentle attitude.

At this moment, Matsumoto Sachiko felt that her heart was completely connected with her mother's.

Well, even if I wanted to go to Yincheng to share a little sweetness, my mother wouldn't be angry, right?

This bold idea made Matsumoto Sachiko's chest beat wildly, her throat tightened, and her breathing became rapid.

"Really? Are you going to say nothing?"

Ginjo didn't know what she was thinking, but she looked very nervous.

Matsumoto Sachiko just nodded silently, not daring to look into his eyes, for fear that he would see through her thoughts as soon as their eyes met.

"You know, the girls in school are sometimes more proactive than the boys."

Ginjo probably wanted her to understand that it was not easy for him to choose only one of the many girls in the school.

"Huh, really, that's why people who can't help showing off are such a headache."

Matsumoto Sachiko said this as if she was complaining, and her tense nerves seemed to relax a little.

But she also knew that what Yincheng said was the solid truth.

A boy like him, who is one in a million in appearance, figure, personality, and even athletic ability, appears on campus. His attraction to girls can be described as terrifying.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if he is surrounded by girls at school, there will still be countless girls who want to squeeze in and get a piece of the pie.

Morality and loyalty are sometimes not worth mentioning in the face of hard power.

"Haha, is this considered showing off? I think so a little bit."

Hearing her tone relax a lot, Ginjo continued to walk forward with a smile on his face.

"Forget it, forget it. After all, Sosuke has so much to show off."

Matsumoto Sachiko also hurriedly followed in small steps.

If she had just wanted to get closer to Yincheng intentionally or unintentionally, this time she just hugged his arm without saying a word.

Ever since she heard about Lisa Shiraishi, Matsumoto Sachiko felt that her competitive spirit as a woman was suddenly ignited.

Why are all the girls in school so proactive, but I can't?

Why can they express their love so boldly, while I am always hesitant?

Matsumoto Sachiko's competitive instinct seemed to be completely aroused, not only against her mother, but also against all women who admired Ginjo.

Since everyone has their own opportunity, they can only use their own methods to win the favor of Yincheng.

With her mother's successful example, Matsumoto Sachiko suddenly felt full of confidence. At least in terms of figure, she would never lose to anyone.

She straightened her body deliberately to highlight her graceful curves, and Yincheng naturally noticed this, and his eyes couldn't help but linger on the fertile land waiting to be developed.

Because of the exact location sent by Chiaki Hoshino, the two of them quickly caught up and successfully reunited with the two sisters.

"Let's get ready to go back to the river. It's almost time. Wait, where did Chie go again?"

Time passed by unknowingly, and in more than half an hour, the highlight of the festival, the fireworks display, would begin.

Just when Ginjo was about to call a few girls to go to the seats they had reserved earlier, he wasn't paying attention and Chie Hoshino disappeared again.

"Eh? Are you going to leave so early? Don't we still have some time?"

Chie Hoshino had another serving of takoyaki in her hand and came back from the crowd without her noticing.

"You are really elusive. It's better to be early than late."

"Yeah, it seems like the flow of people now is even greater than before."

"Yeah, everyone seems to be moving towards the river."

Chiaki Hoshino and Sachiko Matsumoto stood on both sides of Ginjo, one on the left and one on the right, and both echoed him.

"Okay, okay, since you guys said so, let's buy some food on the way back."

Chie Hoshino put a takoyaki into her mouth and said she wanted to buy some more food.

No, no, you've already eaten enough, and you're still eating now...

Although Ginjo really wanted to complain, he was no longer surprised by Chie Hoshino's stomach, which was like an alien dimension.

On the way back, everyone divided the work and went shopping at the stalls on both sides, buying all kinds of delicious food such as fried noodles, grilled squid, and yakisoba.

If you take everyone's shopping together, it becomes a considerable amount.

"Oh, yes, there are drinks too. What would you like to drink?"

With food, drinks are naturally necessary. It seems that Chie Hoshino plans to enjoy a sumptuous outdoor picnic while watching the fireworks display.

"I want orange juice."

"Then I want soda!"

"Okay, where's Sousuke?"

"Soda water will do. It must be ice cold!"

"No problem, leave it to me."

Chie Hoshino moved through the crowd with ease, quickly found a stall selling drinks, and then ran back with a bag full of bottles and cans.

Since Matsumoto Sachiko made up her mind, her spirits have become high and she chats and laughs with Hoshino Chiaki as they walk.

"The closer you get to the river, the denser the crowd becomes."

"Yeah, maybe everyone has the same idea as us, and doesn't want to miss the first firework."

Just as Chiaki Hoshino said, a huge crowd began to flow towards the fireworks venue on a large scale.

Perhaps because there were so many people moving around, it became difficult to move forward. Many people were shoulder to shoulder, and just when Ginjo was thinking that if he wasn't careful he might bump into someone...

“Ah—”

As the soft scream reached her ears, Chiaki Hoshino, who was walking in front of her, lost her balance.

Seeing that she was about to fall down after bumping into someone passing by, Ginjo hurriedly grabbed her arm.
