Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

I fell asleep yesterday without any preparation and didn't even turn on the air conditioner.

The curtains were not drawn when I fell asleep, and it was still scorching hot outside the window today.

The polyphonic cicada chirping echoed hysterically like the noise of cooking or the echo of cymbals.

"Mai, you're not calling me just for this, are you?"

"yes."

"You're so annoying! Why are you so nice to me? Ah, no way! Is that person married to that person?"

Entertainment news was being broadcast on a random channel, and today's topic was the explosive news that a young celebrity couple was getting married.

Her attention was instantly taken away by the TV.

"Oh, you're watching TV. That's right, it's been on the news since this morning."

"What about that thing I just asked you, do you want to come over and play with me?"

"Yeah, I'm going, I'm going! But doesn't Mai have to take care of the moving?"

"I'm almost ready to move, but I've been busy with this lately, so I wanted to change my mood today."

"I see. By the way, can I ask Sosuke to go with us?"

"Sousuke? Are you talking about Mr. Ginjo who greeted us at the door of the apartment with Mrs. Matsumoto yesterday?"

"Yes, he helped a lot when I was cleaning the room yesterday. Maybe he has time today. It would be more fun if there are more people around."

Maria Utsunomiya just didn't know what other reasons she could come up with to ask Ginjō out, but the opportunity came right to her.

"That's fine, no problem at all. We'll all be neighbors from now on. Anyway, I won't become a light bulb, will I?"

"How could that be! That's not true. We just met yesterday. How could things develop so quickly?"

While talking to Shimazu Mai, Maria Utsunomiya was turning the remote control to check various entertainment news, her fingers operating the remote control beautifully to find fresher news topics.

"Honestly, with Mr. Ginjo's condition, he must already have a girlfriend, right?"

After hearing what Shimazu Mai said, she also perked up. The friendship between women is often maintained by discussing other people's gossip.

"Mai thinks so too, right? I asked him about this yesterday~"

Her fingers stopped moving. This topic now aroused her more interest than any entertainment news.

It was not time to watch TV anymore, so Utsunomiya Maria threw away the remote control and propped up her body that was about to melt with the heat.

"Sousuke is a guy who is popular with girls, right? But he only has one date at school!"

He couldn't help but yell, but all he got in return was silence from Shimazu Mai on the other end of the line.

No, how can a person be so excited that veins pop? Anyway, I need to find a way to calm down first.

"Sorry, sorry. I accidentally got too excited. Wouldn't Mai find it weird?"

"Huh? What's so strange about that? Whether you're a boy or a girl, shouldn't you only have one partner?"

The other party answered without hesitation.

"Ah... According to common sense... it seems to be like this..."

It seems that Shimazu Mai is really a naive woman. Even if she has graduated from university, would she still believe such things?

Even if you haven't encountered such a situation in real life, you must have come across the harem theme in comics or on TV, right?

There is no doubt that her view on love will change drastically after getting to know Ginjo.

"Then why is Maria so excited?"

"Because I think that when Sosuke is surrounded by girls like that, it's inevitable that he will stretch his tentacles everywhere..."

"Eh? Really... is it really going to be like that..."

"Think about it, every girl has her own unique personality and characteristics."

"It's like walking into a dessert shop. After eating donuts, you'll want to try cake, and then you'll think cream puffs are good, too. Isn't that easy to understand?"

After listening to Utsunomiya Maria's explanation, it seemed to make sense. Just when Shimazu Mai was about to accept it -

"Oooh?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Utsunomiya Maria screamed.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Maria?"

"Ah, nothing, it seems like someone is knocking on the door, who could it be at this time..."

The 'dong dong dong' sound continued, sounding powerful but not too rude.

“Could it be Mrs. Matsumoto?”

At this moment, the voice of Ginjo Sosuke "Are you home, Maria?" came from outside the closed door.

"Ah, it's Sousuke. Wait a minute, I have to go open the door for him."

Asking Shimazu Mai not to hang up and wait on the other end of the phone, Utsunomiya Maria walked towards the entrance with the phone in one hand.

"I called you upstairs, but I was on the line, so I tried to come over and knock on the door. Who are you talking to?"

The steamy breeze of midsummer drifted into the entrance along with Ginjō Sousuke's dazzling youthful light.

He was holding a plastic bag from a convenience store in his hand and handed it to Utsunomiya Maria.

As if it was an exchange, Utsunomiya Maria said "Take it" and handed the phone to Ginjō.

"Huh? Who is it? Hello?"

"What? Miss Shimazu?"

Ginjo Sousuke, who looked confused, took off his sandals, walked into the house, and started talking to Shimazu Mai.

Anyway, after putting the 100% juice for two people that Ginjō brought into the refrigerator, Utsunomiya Maria took the opportunity to go to the bathroom.

Luckily I have some to wear...

As she thought about this, she pulled up her shorts, which she would only wear about 30% of the time before going to bed.

He rinsed his mouth at the sink, squeezed some toothpaste, and looked into the room while brushing his teeth.

"Would you like to go to Miss Shimazu's house? No problem. I don't have any plans today. By the way, Maria said that you are planning to start working at a nearby university?"

Ginjo Sousuke sat down casually on the sofa. Although his attention was instantly attracted by the TV, he immediately took out Utsunomiya Maria's cell phone and started chatting with Shimazu Mai.

"Yeah, I found Mrs. Matsumoto's apartment so I could be closer to work."

While brushing her teeth, Utsunomiya Maria felt a little indescribable.

The boy in front of me is really versatile. No matter what kind of girl he is talking to, he can have a natural conversation with her.

It seems that I have underestimated his strength. Not only in appearance, but also in character, he is impeccable.

"Yeah, yeah, let's talk about it when we meet later."

After hanging up the phone, Ginjo Sousuke turned around, his face showing an inexplicably lively expression, and walked towards Utsunomiya Maria with clacking steps.

"I heard everything. I wanted to go to a restaurant with you today that has a great lunch deal, but we'll have to wait until next time. It looks like Miss Shimazu is still waiting for us."

He grinned and handed the phone to Utsunomiya Maria.

"Please hold it for a while. My hands are not convenient right now."

Utsunomiya Maria expressed this with her eyes.

After brushing my teeth, I rinsed my mouth and pushed the hair on my forehead back with a hairband. After rinsing my face with water, I squeezed facial cleanser into my palms and used a foaming ball to make huge fluffy bubbles.

Ginjo Sousuke stood by like a reliable coach, watching Maria Utsunomiya rub the bubbles on her face and said, "It's all over your face."

"Huh? What are you talking about, Sousuke? What's all over your face?"

Hearing Ginjo's ambiguous words, which sounded like lines from some romantic action movies, Utsunomiya Maria secretly laughed under her thick bubbles.

At this time, Ginjo Sousuke also realized that what he said seemed a little wrong...

"No, that's not what I meant. Maria, don't get the wrong idea."

Ginjo Sousuke explained sheepishly.

Judging from Maria Utsunomiya's reaction, she at least has some experience in appreciating action movies.

"That's what I was saying. Why is Sousuke saying dirty things so early in the morning?"

“Eh? Maria, who could tell something was wrong right away, doesn’t seem to have the right to criticize me.”

"Haha, that's right. It seems that we are not pure-hearted children anymore."

Maria Utsunomiya laughed again, and then quickly washed the foam off her face with water.

"No, it's under the chin and along the edge of the hairline. It's not clean yet. Rinse it thoroughly with water."

As if accepting Ginjo's instructions with gratitude, Utsunomiya Maria washed it again carefully.

Phew, it’s finally clean.

She raised her head while wiping the water droplets off her face with a towel.

Facing Ginjo's gaze, Utsunomiya Maria posed like a model against the door and smiled brightly. She was in great shape today.

"Aren't you going to change your clothes, Maria?"

Ginjo still had her phone in his hand, so he waved it in front of her eyes and asked her.

"It's not that fast for a woman to go out, Sousuke. I just washed my face. I still need to put on lotion and lotion next."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"And then you have to put on some sunscreen."

"I know I know."
