Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

The two ladies consciously led the way in front, while Matsumoto Sachiko behind them quietly hooked Ginjo's hand again.

Not long after the few people walked out, they turned into a deserted cave, only to be entangled by a few cats. They were very friendly and rubbed their feet frantically.

"Wow~ So cute! I can't believe I can meet so many cats outside of a cat cafe. Come and see them, Sosuke!"

Matsumoto Sachiko squatted down and stroked the cat's little head with joy.

Just when Ginjo was about to squat down, he suddenly noticed that he could clearly see the view inside Matsumoto Sachiko's short skirt.

A pink, shiny triangle appeared in the depths of his sight.

This instantly fixed his eyes on that corner, and he seemed a little absent-minded even when playing with the cats.

The natural beauty pouring out is without any affectation. Compared with the deliberate temptation, this unintentional flash of spring makes Yincheng have an urge to vent.

Although Tomoko Matsumoto and Sachiko Sasaki are not in the habit of keeping pets, they both like these furry little guys very much.

They were happily teasing the cats and pushing them down, so they were also in a squatting position.

Maybe it was because there were no other tourists in the cave, or maybe they had already lost any wariness towards Yincheng.

In short, Ginjo Sosuke saw the scenery under the skirts of both ladies.

Pearl white and translucent black, the most original colors can bring the most extraordinary visual experience.

After finishing playing with the cats, the group arrived at the tourist road built along the cliff, which is also the area with the highest density of caves.

This is certainly the most worthwhile place to visit in the entire Enoshima Island. In addition, there is another strong attraction: Matsumoto Sachiko.

"How amazing! There is actually a place like this! Can we go there?!"

"No problem at all."

The group walked down the stairs and came to a large, flat rock.

The rock was covered with puddles of water splashed by the waves, but the overall surface was very flat, just like a stage. Matsumoto Sachiko opened her arms on the rock in a somewhat exaggerated posture.

"It's like being on a stage here! It would be so great if I could perform a play here! Ahahaha!"

Matsumoto Sachiko started playing with various poses here, and Ginjo felt very happy just watching her like this.

Tomoko Matsumoto was in high spirits and used her mobile phone to record her daughter's cheerful figure as a souvenir of the trip.

Infected by this stage-filled emotion, Ginjo Sosuke seemed to have put himself into the role of a stage actor.

He approached Matsumoto Sachiko, knelt on one knee, and extended his hand to her, like a knight from somewhere.

"Princess, if you don't mind, please give me your hand."

"Well, then please, my knight!"

Ginjo Sosuke held Matsumoto Sachiko's hand and stood up, then bowed and saluted to the two audience members, which marked his farewell.

Tomoko Matsumoto and Sachiko Sasaki gave them warm applause and loud cheers, and the atmosphere on the entire stage reached its climax.

After returning to the tourist road from the rock, the few people walked towards the cave with smiles on their faces.

When entering the cave, Matsumoto Sachiko spoke in a tone that sounded very excited.

"Actually, I have an idea! Don't you think Enoshima looks like a level in a game?!"

"Eh? You mean the Dragon Quest kind?"

Sasaki Yukiko continued her words and said that even at their age, they knew a thing or two about this national RPG.

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Look at the road with the souvenir shop at the entrance, the roads and trails along the cliff, and this cave. Isn't it just like the town and dungeon in the game?"

Ginjo Sousuke glanced at the places she pointed and immediately agreed with her idea.

Enoshima feels like a concentration of many elements, and you won’t get bored even if you just take a walk here.

Matsumoto Sachiko walked towards him, touched his shoulder gently, and then began to hum a strange tune that sounded like a sound effect.

Then she instigated her mother and Sasaki Yukiko to line up in front of Ginjō and pretend that they were each holding some kind of weapon, and strike cute poses for him to take pictures.

Matsumoto Sachiko slid forward towards Ginjō and then made a gesture as if she was swinging a sword at him.

"Characters using melee weapons will slide on the ground like this! Did I imitate it well?!"

The two ladies were amused and laughed when they saw her dancing.

"Everyone! Please target Sosuke and use your special moves! Hey!"

At Matsumoto Sachiko's call, the three women approached Ginjo at the same time and each launched a tickling attack on him.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute! It's really itchy! Ahaha! Ahahahahahahaha!"

Being surrounded by women and tickled is such a wonderful experience that I don’t know how to describe it.

Ginjo Sousuke couldn't withstand the attack from the three of them, and finally sat down on the ground laughing.

As if ignoring the age difference between them, they played together like close friends.

If the battle scene was switched to the bedroom, Ginjo Sousuke might have unleashed a different kind of powerful force than he does now.

By then, even if the three of them attacked together, they would definitely be killed by Yincheng without a single piece of armor left.

Taking off their defensive gear and making them surrender one by one at his feet, the pleasure of reviewing the spoils after victory is really enjoyable.

After spending the entire afternoon traveling through the endless caves, they arrived at the lighthouse on the riverside as night fell.

From this place, you can overlook the night view, and the lights of the town on the opposite bank appear particularly dazzling against the thick darkness.

Sachiko Sasaki took Tomoko Matsumoto for a walk by the river, while Sosuke Ginjo stayed behind to appreciate the beautiful scene that could only be felt at night with Sachiko Matsumoto.

"It's so beautiful."

Matsumoto Sachiko has already taken holding Ginjō's hand as a matter of course.

But she was obviously not satisfied yet. After slowly approaching him, she tilted her head slightly and leaned directly on Ginjo's shoulder.

Except for the absence of fireworks, time seemed to have traveled back to the night of that summer festival.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the night view of Enoshima to be so beautiful."

Ginjo Sosuke stretched out his arms and simply embraced Matsumoto Sachiko, who was leaning against him.

That familiar softness really feels like hugging my wife.

As if she had received permission, Matsumoto Sachiko greedily pushed hard into Ginjo's chest.

How should I put it? She is increasingly understanding the feeling of being in love and why people are addicted to it.

It might be unexpectedly very simple for one person to fall in love with another person. Maybe there was no special reason why my mother fell in love with Yincheng in the first place?

Matsumoto Sachiko poked her head out of Ginjo Sosuke's arms and looked at the night view, and began to recall every moment when she fell in love with him...

Chapter 473: The First Time in History (Extra Update)

The first time Matsumoto Sachiko came into contact with Ginjo Sosuke was on the phone.

At that time, she was preparing to chat with her mother in her free time as usual, but the person who answered her mother's phone was a strange boy.

She still remembered how anxious and helpless she felt after she learned from Yincheng that her mother was injured.

But Ginjo's steady voice and careful answers surprisingly calmed her down.

That confident tone, as if everything was left to him to handle, was Matsumoto Sachiko's first impression of Ginjō.

The incident happened suddenly, and Matsumoto Sachiko was only concerned about her mother's injuries and did not care about the cause of her injury.

But after she learned about her mother's relationship with Yincheng, this question would come back to her mind in the dead of night.

How could a mother who is always cautious and careful suddenly sprain her ankle?

And after she was injured, her mother did not contact her daughter, but instead handed over the task of taking care of her to a new tenant whom she had just met not long ago?

Is this really reasonable?

Did they get together at that time?

Could it be that the mother was injured because she did some complicated movements?

Just thinking about this possibility, Matsumoto Sachiko, who was lying on the bed, felt her heart pounding. The thin quilt beside her was inadvertently rolled up into a ball and sandwiched between her legs.

Shaking her head, Matsumoto Sachiko returned to reality from the sea of ​​​​memories.

She snuggled in Yincheng's arms and couldn't help but hold his back tighter.

Having gotten rid of the confusion about the mother-daughter relationship, she felt that she was finally one step closer to Yincheng.

Ginjo Sosuke lowered his head and met her eyes, but neither of them said anything. They looked at the night view on the other side of the river again in tacit understanding.

In the thick night that is about to become thicker, silence is also a rare kind of romance.

Surrounded by this atmosphere that was very close to a romance, Matsumoto Sachiko recalled a short story she had once written.

The protagonist of the story is a female college student. After seeing how bad the club activities are, she feels very upset about herself for going to a good university but feeling so empty.

So, in order to change her mood, she went to a pond on the Hongo campus, sat on a rock and drew with a pencil in her sketchbook.

She was good at drawing and thought she was quite good at it, but she failed the practical test in the art college entrance exam.

Although she was hit hard by this, she still couldn't give up painting. At that time -

“I think you draw very well.”

"Look, the shadows here look much more beautiful than a real pond. This is the world in your eyes. I really wish I could be like you."

The part that was praised by a classmate who happened to pass by was exactly what she had spent a lot of effort to depict.

It is very common for gloomy people to think that if someone is just a little bit gentle to them, that person understands them.

"It's been a long time since I've seen someone paint such a natural landscape. It's the kind that makes people want to live in it."

A very considerate and gentle smile appeared on the boy's face. Just like that, that's why she fell in love with him.

She really wanted that smile, really, really wanted it.

The boy waved to her and left, leaving her alone.

She never spoke to the boy again in college after that, but she always kept his compliments to her in her heart.

The boy's praise motivated her to keep working hard. Later, a famous gallery noticed her paintings and held a solo exhibition for her, thus determining her future.
