Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Well, Sousuke, please look at me here."

Hearing Hoshino Chiaki's sweet instructions, Ginjo had no choice but to cooperate and turned his head away.

"Yeah, Sosuke's looks are really amazing. He can even take pictures that look like they could be covered in a magazine with his phone."

The three girls who took turns to perform gathered together and kept flipping through the freshly-made works on the screen.

"It just seems a little too serious. It doesn't feel like it has the atmosphere of a fireworks display."

"Did Sachiko notice it too? I was about to say that just now. Sousuke's expression looks too monotonous."

"Really? I think Sousuke is very handsome like this."

"You don't understand this, Chiaki. No matter how handsome a boy is, he will become boring if he always has the same face."

When Chie Hoshino started rolling her eyes, Ginjo knew that she was thinking of something new.

"Sousuke, how about you pretend to be sandwiched between my and Chiaki's breasts?"

"Huh? Are you serious?"

"Sister, stop messing around!"

"That sounds interesting. I'd love to take Chiaki-nee's place!"

Matsumoto Sachiko raised her right hand high.

Click. In the panic, I don’t know who pressed the shutter button.

"Haha, Sosuke's expression is so funny. It's much more interesting than his serious look just now~"

As soon as the photo was taken, everyone seemed to be unable to hold back their laughter and burst out laughing at the same time.

The combined laughter of several people was louder than the noise of the festival, as if to prolong this moment, as if hoping that summer would never end.

"Hmm? Where are you going, Sousuke? The break is almost over."

Looking at Ginjō who stood up and put on his shoes, Hoshino Chiaki asked with concern.

"I suddenly realized there's something I forgot to buy. I'll be right back."

While the girls were still immersed in the playful atmosphere, Ginjo Sosuke went to the stall alone to queue up.

By the way, he took advantage of this break to send the yukata photo he had just taken to Lisa Shiraishi, and received a very enthusiastic response from her.

Of course, he picked out the last photo sandwiched between the soft balloons and moved it to his private photo album.

Just like that, Ginjo walked alone on the festival night.

The lively atmosphere around seemed to gather all the energetic voices of the tourists and then pour them all here.

This was his first time attending a festival in such a large and crowded venue. The delicious aroma filled the air, seeming to overwhelm the fragrance of soil and summer grass.

Before the fireworks started, there were long queues at every stall, but now there are fewer people, so it doesn’t take too much time for one person to go to each stall to make a purchase.

In fact, the food they bought the second time was enough to last until the fireworks display was over. Ginjo came out alone this time just to get a little "revenge" for the girls' pranks on him.

He bought two frankfurters and two chocolate-covered bananas and stuffed them all into the large plastic bag he got from the first stall.

The frankfurter sausages and chocolate bananas together are just enough for four women. Well, poor Tomoko Matsumoto seems to have been affected as well.

But thinking about how they all took the snacks he handed over and ate them heartily, it satisfied his bad taste.

It would be best to add a little sweet and rich white mayonnaise into each of their mouths while they are enjoying the food.

Okay, it’s done. Now let’s go back to our seats and watch their performance leisurely.

Ginjo Sosuke thought so and turned around, and Matsumoto Sachiko stood in front of him without him knowing.

"Sachiko? Why are you here? If you're here to help, I've already bought everything."

"Well, I don't mean to help you either."

She might have gone to the bathroom, and when she came back she saw Ginjo, so she was waiting for Ginjo to go back together.

"What? You're really cold."

Ginjo let out a fake sigh and spoke.

"No, I'm here to kidnap you."

Sachiko Matsumoto rocked her cute bob and gave off a very naughty smile.

"Abduction? That's not like you at all. What happened?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's nothing, it's just because I saw the photos in your phone..."

"Photo? Are you talking about the one that Shiraishi-senpai sent me?"

"Yes, that's the one. I only heard her name until now, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful in person."

"Is that hair color real? It feels so dreamy. No wonder Sousuke chose her. If I were a boy, I would definitely be fascinated by her."

Lisa Shiraishi's beauty brought some invisible pressure to Matsumoto Sachiko. She felt that if she didn't take the initiative, she would be left far behind by these girls who had the same goal as her.

"So Sachiko is jealous?"

Ginjo Sousuke leaned down and asked, getting close to her face.

"Yes, that's why you want to abduct Sousuke because you're jealous. There's a dike ahead, it might be a good place to watch the fireworks. Let's go over and take a look."

"It's just a little higher there, it should look about the same."

"Let's go, let's not let my first abduction plan end in failure."

Matsumoto Sachiko took Ginjō's arm and dragged him forward.

The two of them quickly reached the embankment and found a place to stand together.

The atmosphere of watching the fireworks from here is indeed a little different from that on the river bank.

"So, Sachiko brought me here just to watch the fireworks?"

Hearing Ginjo's question, Matsumoto Sachiko slowly turned her head, with a complicated expression on her face.

"Ah~~"

She then let out a long, exaggerated sigh.

"When a group of friends go to a fireworks display together, there is only one reason why a girl would ask a boy out alone."

As Matsumoto Sachiko spoke, she took a half step closer to Ginjo.

“Although it’s the same thing as watching fireworks, it feels completely different if there are only two of us watching together.”

"So, I want to leave a memory here that belongs only to the two of us watching the fireworks together."

It seems that Matsumoto Sachiko is no longer satisfied with just playing goldfish catching with Ginjo for a while. She also wants to take advantage of this festival to leave herself with more moments to reminisce.

"We can't watch for too long, everyone is still waiting for us."

Ginjo Sousuke tilted his head and spoke to her gently.

"There will be 10,000 fireworks in the next session. Can you watch at least 10 of them with me?"

Matsumoto Sachiko's hand approached Ginjo cautiously.

She first grabbed Ginjo's sleeve, then touched his skin little by little.

Ginjo Sosuke naturally opened his hands and crossed his fingers with her slender and smooth fingers.

Bang, bang, the flowers bloomed brilliantly with loud noises, reflecting the beautiful profile of Matsumoto Sachiko again and again.

One, two, three.

As if tears were about to fall, she looked up at the night sky.

Four, five, six.

The upside-down and tilted love heart seems to be about to burst out of the chest.

Seven, eight, nine...

There is only one shot left.

Matsumoto Sachiko wondered in her heart whether she could give this feeling a name.

"You're too slow, Sousuke!"

As soon as Ginjō returned to everyone, Hoshino Chie shouted.

"Sachiko, is he going to go somewhere to peek at the beauties in yukatas again?"

She thought that Matsumoto Sachiko met Ginjo on the way to the bathroom, so the two of them came back together.

"Don't worry, Chie-sister, Sosuke is a very well behaved person."

Matsumoto Sachiko said this with a bright smile.

The fireworks display that everyone had been looking forward to had already reached its second half in a hurry.

"What did you buy, Sousuke?"

Chie Hoshino squeezed next to Ginjō, so he had to move his body slightly to make room.

"Here, let me show you, chocolate covered bananas and frankfurters."

Ginjo Sousuke said as he passed the purchased food to everyone.

"Wow! Frankfurters, I love this the most!"

"Really? I thought girls would choose chocolate bananas."

"Sosuke is right. I want a chocolate banana. Mmm, I haven't had one in a while."

Chie Hoshino and Sachiko Matsumoto obviously have certain differences in taste.

"Sister Tomoko, this big sausage is for you."

"Thank you, Sosuke-kun."

"Chiaki, is it okay for you to eat chocolate banana?"

"Of course, Sousuke, I prefer sweets anyway."

Just like that, the four women all took the delicious food handed to them by Yin Cheng.
