Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

This is much easier than working part-time at a convenience store.

Has the favorability reached 2 in just 80 days? What will happen after the favorability reaches 100?

After all, this has never happened before, and Ginjo Sosuke is full of curiosity and expectation about the answer.

It was late at night, and the sky outside the window was completely covered by a black curtain, dotted with scattered stars, like a meaningful painting.

A breeze blew by, cool and refreshing.

Maybe it was the result of the massage?

Ginjo Sousuke felt unusually refreshed.

dong dong dong....

The gentle knock on the door startled Ginjo, who was enjoying the breeze just now.

"It's so late, who could it be?"

"Did I leave something at Mrs. Matsumoto's house?"

Full of doubts, Ginjo Sosuke grabbed a bath towel, wrapped himself simply, got up and opened the door.

The undried hair still had some water droplets on it as it slid down the boy's sturdy body and fell to the floor.

"Manager Kobayakawa?"

Ginjo Sousuke obviously did not expect that the person knocking on the door was Kana Kobayakawa.

"Um... Is Ginjo-kun available now?"

Kana Kobayakawa's voice sounds like a weak cat, completely different from the cold feeling during the day.

"Ah, that's convenient. Please come in."

Ginjo Sosuke was stunned for a moment, then quickly made way and opened all the doors.

The room was dim, and Ginjo Sosuke was ready to rest, so he only turned on a small table lamp beside the bed.

I turned on the main light in the living room, and the room was bright as day again.

Kana Kobayakawa in front of me was wearing a pink floral pajamas, with her long black hair naturally tied up on her head.

The shiny face looks even whiter under the overhead light.

The bulge on her chest is still so eye-catching, and the small floral patterns on her pajamas seem to be stretched out, blooming dazzlingly.

The exposed calves are straight and full, and the jade feet in transparent slippers are small and cute.

Sure enough, her explosive figure is even more impactful after changing out of her work clothes.

Kana Kobayakawa glanced at Sosuke Ginjo, a blush quickly rose on her smooth face, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.

Ginjo Sousuke then realized that he was only wrapped in a bath towel.

The upper body, divided by obvious muscle lines, is completely exposed.

"Oh, sorry, Manager Kobayakawa."

"I just finished taking a shower, please wait for me."

"Um...ok..."

Kana Kobayakawa's answer was still small and soft.

Sosuke Ginjo hurried back to the bedroom, changed into a vest and shorts, wiped his half-wet hair hastily, and walked out again.

"Please take a seat, Manager Kobayakawa."

Ginjo led Kobayakawa Kana to the sofa.

"Thank you."

Kana Kobayakawa sat down.

"Just call me Kobayakawa. You don't have to call me manager when you're off work, Ginjo-kun."

"Yes, Mrs. Kobayakawa."

Ginjo Sosuke sat on the other side of the sofa. After all, there was no other place to sit in the small room.

"It's so late. What's going on? Mrs. Kobayakawa."

Ginjo Sousuke asked.

"Well... Actually, I heard it when Ginjo-kun came back just now. I hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to disturb him or not."

Kobayakawa Kana was still a little reserved, and didn't seem to answer Ginjo Sosuke's question clearly.

Where is the calm and steady store manager during the day?

"Eh? Mrs. Kobayakawa, can you hear the door opening? Do you live next door?"

Ginjo Sousuke was a little surprised.

"Yes, I live in room 302, next to Ginjo-kun."

"But I go to work very early every day and come back late, so I have never met Ginjo-kun."

Kana Kobayakawa explained.

"So that's it."

"Then Mrs. Kobayakawa, do you have anything to ask me?"

Seeing that Kana Kobayakawa did not give a direct answer, Sousuke Ginjo had to repeat his question.

"That..." Kobayakawa still seemed a little hesitant.

"That's right... Was I a little harsh on Ginjo-kun during the day? I'm really sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable."

As Kana Kobayakawa spoke, she stood up and bowed to express her apology.

"Ah?" Ginjo Sousuke was a little confused.

"No, Mrs. Kobayakawa, I don't have that feeling at all, please don't take it to heart."

"That would be great. I thought I was too harsh and that Ginjo-kun disliked me."

Ginjo Sosuke's answer made Kobayakawa Kana breathe a sigh of relief.

But is this gentle and shy lady really the same person as the serious and cold convenience store manager during the day?

What a damn contrast.

It's actually somewhat charming?

"But then again, why would Mrs. Kobayakawa think so?"

"It's probably normal for the store manager to be strict with the employees."

Ginjo Sousuke's doubts did not diminish.

"how to say..."

Kana Kobayakawa seemed to be thinking about how to organize her words, and her small face subconsciously tilted to one side.

If Tomoko Matsumoto is a ripe fruit, then Kana Kobayakawa is probably half-ripe.

There is a hint of immaturity in maturity and a bit of cuteness in gentleness.

"Maybe it's because I don't want to be a pushover anymore."

Kana Kobayakawa's answer surprised Ginjo Sousuke.

He didn't know what to say, so he just looked at Kobayakawa quietly, wanting to hear her continue.

Kobayakawa understood Ginjō's look and continued.

"I used to be a pushover, the kind of person that no one could find fault with and would never reject anyone."

"I was helping a classmate with a plan for a school festival at school, but I was kicked out when I was almost done, and the plan was taken over by someone else."

"After I started working, I was always considerate of others. I was often the only one responsible for overtime work in the company."

“Although my colleagues always thank me, they still push difficult tasks to me.”

"What hurts me the most is the betrayal of men. I was deceived into getting married at an early age by my boyfriend's sweet talk."

"Then I inexplicably took on a lot of debt for my ex-husband. It was only with the help of my family that I was able to solve the problem."

“So after my divorce, I decided to move to Tokyo alone and start over in a place where no one knew me.”

“Then I tried to make myself look as strict as possible, and became harsh towards my colleagues.”

“Thanks to my meticulous work, I became a store manager in less than a year.”

"It's really tiring to pretend to be yourself every day."

"Until today when I met Ginjo-kun..."

Chapter 8 Night Talk in the Room

Kana Kobayakawa seemed to have been suppressed for a long time and finally had the opportunity to open her heart.

"The sight of Ginjo-kun working diligently makes me feel that my severity is too much for him."

"So why did you want to come and talk to Ginjo-kun so late at night?"

"Ah! I'm so sorry I said so much all at once."

"I don't know why Ginjo-kun makes me feel so close to him. I can't help but say so much."

"Ginjo-kun will probably think I'm a very strange woman..."

After saying this, Kana Kobayakawa lowered her head again, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be criticized.

Ginjo Sousuke moved his body closer and hugged Kobayakawa Kana in his arms.

When a beautiful woman opens her heart to you, shouldn't she be given a warm hug?

Ginjo Sousuke felt that no words could express his feelings at this moment.

All he heard from Kobayakawa was helpless struggle.

Force myself to pretend to be a completely different person every day.
