Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"You won't know exactly what will happen until you do it."

Applying sunscreen in Okinawa, kissing in the storage room of the villa, and wearing all kinds of cool pajamas in front of him...

All of Chie Hoshino's actions to seduce Ginjo were done to make him feel her feelings.

"Well, then I'll let you go today. It seems like you've been out for too long. Let's go back."

"There are so many delicious snacks waiting for me, and a fireworks display. I want to enjoy it!"

"Then please lead the way quickly, my lovely princess."

Ginjo Sousuke stood up and held out his hand to her.

"Haha, rest assured, leave it to me. I didn't lie to you about this being a shortcut."

Chie Hoshino said this, tightly grasped the hand that Ginjō extended, and led him down the slope.

Just as she said, after walking around the pavilion, it took about two minutes to reach the stall they had visited at the beginning.

If they had not delayed so long there, they might have actually been able to return to the riverbank before the first firework rose.

The snack street that was crowded just now is now much quieter. After all, the fireworks display is the highlight of the night.

As the two hurried back, they looked up at the colorful fireworks streaking across the night sky.

"I heard that if you make a wish towards fireworks, it will come true."

Chie Hoshino held Ginjō's hand and spoke absentmindedly.

"Shouldn't we make a wish on a shooting star?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked casually.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you believe in it."

"By the way, Sousuke, before you go back, I have a small request, I—"

Chie Hoshino had just said half of her wish when the numerous fireworks that were launched at once and the loud cheers drowned out her wish, so much so that Ginjō didn't hear clearly what she said after "I".

She also knew that Ginjo didn't hear her, and she lowered her head in frustration, but only for a moment.

Chie Hoshino raised her head again and moved closer to Sosuke Ginjo.

She leaned her face forward, and in order to let Ginjo hear her voice, her tender lips opened and closed, stealing all his attention...

Chapter 420: The charming wife and the graceful girls

On this day in August every year, people gather on the river bank as night falls.

Some people, like Ginjo Sosuke and his friends, come early to reserve a spot so that they have plenty of time to buy food or drinks.

Tourists wearing yukatas can be seen everywhere, all heading in the same direction.

Joyful shouts could be heard from the rooftops or balconies of nearby homes, and the aroma of barbecue wafted over from afar.

Adults who stay at home to watch the party always start drinking at this time, waiting for the first fireworks to rise.

Ginjo still remembers that when he was a child in Hokkaido, the fireworks festival venue was within walking distance from the station, so every year on that day, the town would be filled with a festive atmosphere.

So as a child at that time, he would always wait for the night to come with inexplicable excitement in the summer.

However, compared to the crowded crowds in Tokyo, the festival activities in their small place can even be described as empty.

Having said that, to people who are used to rural life, that was already a huge crowd.

Returning from his childhood memories, Ginjo finally heard the request made by Chie Hoshino.

"I want Sousuke to pat my head."

Ginjo Sousuke looked confused, thinking he had misheard.

He originally thought that since Chie Hoshino had just experienced a confession, she would definitely take advantage of the situation to make some exaggerated requests, but he didn't expect that she would just be very calm and ask him for help in this way.

"I hope Sosuke can pat my head, and I hope Sosuke can praise me and say "You have worked hard." "

Chie Hoshino blushed, raised her watery eyes and looked at Ginjō, appearing very serious.

Even the sound of fireworks rising into the sky now sounds a little far away.

"You work really hard, Chie."

Putting aside his own desires, Yincheng had intended to reward her to the best of his ability, and even if it was impossible, he would do everything he could to achieve it.

He thought he had shown the most gentle smile possible, but he wondered what it would look like in Chie Hoshino's eyes?

Ginjo Sousuke stretched out his right hand, crossed her back, and stroked the right side of her hair.

The moment he touched her hair, Chie Hoshino's shoulders trembled slightly.

Then, she smiled as if embarrassed by her own reaction, relaxed her facial muscles and narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, I tried very hard. I tried very hard to get close to Sosuke. I always hoped to hear these words from Sosuke."

The cute girl who had just confessed to him was looking at him with such passionate eyes from a close distance that Ginjō felt as if he was surrounded by a fiery mist.

"My hair is going to be messy."

He said this to hide the throbbing in his heart, but he was reluctant to let go.

"It's okay, so please don't stop, Sousuke."

Not long after Chie Hoshino said this, there was suddenly an extra weight on the shoulders that were originally side by side, and her hair on the side slightly touched Ginjō's neck, making him feel a little itchy.

The two people's yukatas were stuck together, with only two thin pieces of cloth between them, and they leaned on each other's shoulders.

He could slightly feel her body temperature, but magically, Ginjo didn't feel too excited this time.

Perhaps there was indeed a surge of emotion, but the feeling of sympathy was greater than anything else, overriding all other desires.

"Sosuke, thank you for being willing to fulfill my willfulness."

Seeing Chie Hoshino lower her head slightly with a serious expression, Ginjō felt as if he had been dreaming until now, but his right hand told him that was not the case.

"Today, you seem less and less like your usual Chie."

Ginjo thought she was careful, but her hair on the right side was still a little messy.

"I think so too. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be like this. Only in front of Sousuke would I..."

Chie Hoshino said this as she reached out to touch the right side of her hair. She was just gently stroking the slightly messy hair, but for some reason, that face with a warm tone showed an extremely happy smile.

Ginjo was very curious about what she wanted to say in the second half of her ambiguous sentence, but her extremely rare gentle smile really stunned Ginjo.

"Today's fireworks are so beautiful, the most beautiful I have ever seen."

"Yeah, that's exactly right."

Although it is only the warm-up stage and there will be more climax performances later, these do not prevent Chie Hoshino from making an unreasonable wish in her heart.

She hopes that the countless flowers blooming in the night sky will continue to bloom without stopping.

The warm-up session ended and the broadcast in the venue sounded again. As they had informed us in advance, the lighting in the entire venue would gradually fade out.

The order of setting off fireworks is then explained, and the audience is concluded with "Please enjoy yourselves."

“This is when it really starts.”

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Let's go back quickly."

After Chie Hoshino smiled at Ginjō, she looked up at the sky above Kawashima where the fireworks were going to be set off. Influenced by her, Ginjō also looked in the same direction, then took her hand and strode forward.

"We're back, Sister Tomoko!"

After going through a strange route, the two finally returned to everyone.

"Why did you two take so long? We were all a little worried. How is it? Did you find the hairpin?"

The two of them left in a hurry and their cell phones fell on the picnic mat, so the few people who stayed there couldn't contact them.

"Hehe, it took a while, but I finally found it~"

Chie Hoshino turned around and showed everyone her newly-tied hairstyle.

"The scene was so chaotic, but you still managed to find it. You really must have been hit on the head by a miracle, Chie-sister."

Matsumoto Sachiko also came over and said to her with a surprised look on her face.

"Yeah, that's what I said. How can you know if you don't try it?"

Chie Hoshino was beaming with joy because the greatest miracle she had ever dreamed of had happened to her.

"Come sit down, sister. You all missed the warm-up fireworks."

Among the women, only Chiaki Hoshino's expression seemed calm. I wonder if it was because of the spiritual connection with her sister that made her sense something.

"It's okay. We saw some on the way back. Hey? Have you not touched the snacks you bought yet?"

After returning to the crowd, Chie Hoshino returned to her original appearance.

"Because we've been waiting for you two, let's get started now, Chie, Sosuke-kun."

The wife clasped her hands together, and the others followed her example and posed.

Just as everyone started to put the delicious food into their mouths, a round, glowing flower bloomed in the night sky. About a second later, a loud "bang" was heard.

The first firework to rise into the sky was a single shot, followed by a series of fireworks.

The sky was colorful, with round fireworks, willow-branch-shaped fireworks, and even those that seemed irregular in shape at first glance, all launched into the sky one by one.

The dazzling fireworks seem to be random, but in fact they are all carefully calculated, so they don’t feel messy at all.

"so beautiful."

"It's so beautiful."

The venue was filled with the sound of fireworks and the cheers of the audience, and was instantly surrounded by noise.

But even so, Ginjo could still vaguely hear the soft whispers of the women sitting next to him.

He glanced at the Matsumoto mother and daughter and the Hoshino sisters who were looking up at the fireworks, and the clichéd thought "You are still more beautiful" emerged in his mind.

If you see this sentence in a novel, you will think it is just pretense. Yincheng once thought so too.

But now he understood that there was a reason why so many people said this and why it became a cliché.

The fireworks display went on smoothly. Everyone was so immersed in this visual feast that no one said anything.
