Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

From the looks of it, it will be just as Midorikawa worried. When Shiraishi Lisa wakes up, she will most likely want to go back to work.

"I will never allow..."

At this point, Ginjo would force Lisa Shiraishi to have a good rest even if he had to force her.

If she planned to push him into a desperate situation again, Ginjo would have to do his best to stop her.

Ginjo made up his mind in his heart that he would never let Lisa Shiraishi continue to consume his body.

"Hmm...ummm...Sousuke?"

Just a few dozen minutes after Ginjo arrived at the health room, Lisa Shiraishi finally woke up on the bed.

As soon as she saw Ginjo, she called out his name in a weak voice.

"Lisa, are you okay? Is it hurting anywhere?"

"Um, um... Never mind that for now. Is this... the health room? Strange... What's wrong with me..."

Lisa Shiraishi put her head on her hands, trying to search for the thread of her memory.

Then, she showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Sousuke! What time is it?!"

"It's just past twelve o'clock. You probably slept for less than an hour."

"Oh no! We have to get back to the stall!"

As expected, Lisa Shiraishi hurriedly got up and wanted to go back to work.

However──

"what..."

She immediately fainted and fell back onto the bed powerlessly.

"Lisa, in your current condition, it's already difficult for you to move. After all, you just fainted from overwork."

"Well..."

"I think it's probably because of all the fatigue I've accumulated from working so hard to prepare for the school anniversary that all came rushing back at once."

"So please take a good rest now. You will definitely feel better after a little more sleep."

Ginjo stood up from his chair and persuaded her softly.

"But...but...I still have work..."

"If the situation continues to deteriorate, it will probably become an unmanageable situation, right?"

"I will be very sad then, so just take it as a request from me. Please have a good rest."

Ginjō put his arm around Shiraishi Lisa's shoulders and held her down as she tried to stand up.

"..."

Perhaps because she listened to what Ginjō said, Shiraishi Lisa's tense muscles relaxed a little, but the good times didn't last long.

"No, I must go."

She immediately tried to stand up again.

"Lisa! I told you not to!"

"I feel much better now, Sousuke. Besides, it's almost lunchtime, and there will definitely be a large number of customers coming. I have to go back and prepare the food."

"Don't be so stubborn! You just fainted. How are you going to continue working in your current state?"

"But I can't let everyone's hard-earned expectations go to waste!"

Shiraishi Lisa suddenly raised her voice, her anxiety evident in her words.

"Expectations?"

"Because...I'm the student council president...and the president of the water polo club!"

Lisa Shiraishi often says things like "I want to do my best to help my classmates" and "I want to do my best to meet everyone's expectations of me."

But no matter what, there's no need to worry about these things even at this time, right?

Everyone’s expectations are not so important that you would still be thinking about them even when you pass out!

"It's okay, Sosuke. This is nothing serious. I've always been like this."

"From the past?"

Lisa Shiraishi saw Ginjō's confusion, and she let out a long sigh and told the story.

"You know, my parents are very busy people."

“My father was there to run the company, and my mother, in addition to her own work, often accompanied him around the country to attend various events.”

Although Ginjo had only met her parents once, from that visit alone, he knew that what Shiraishi Lisa said was true.

"I have always felt that my parents worked very hard. Not only did they have to work hard every day, but they also had to take care of me when they got home."

"As an only child, I also want to help my parents a little bit when I see them working so hard."

Perhaps because she has such a busy pair of parents, Lisa Shiraishi seems to have had very mature and stable thoughts since she was a child.

"After that, I slowly worked hard to learn how to do housework so that my parents could relax a little."

“In the end, both my parents praised me a lot, saying, ‘Thank you for always bothering me. You are really Lisa.’ ‘Lisa, I have high hopes for you.’”

“After hearing these words, I was really happy, so I worked harder.”

"After entering university, I joined the student union. I continued to work hard both in my studies and in the union."

"Before I knew it, I was shouldering the expectations of more and more people, such as teachers, classmates, and juniors..."

So that's how it is. Did Lisa Shiraishi live like this in the past, carrying everyone's expectations on her every day?

"I want to work hard for my parents and the younger generations, and I want to meet everyone's expectations. I have always had this in mind, so I am used to working hard."

"Lisa..."

Did she do the same thing in the past as she does now?

Because I have been living this kind of life, I force myself to persevere even when I should take a break.

"And I keep working hard every day, and gradually I start to feel a sense of accomplishment. Now, even if I try to show off a little, it doesn't matter."

Shiraishi Lisa said this with a smile, but it was not her usual cheerful smile, but a smile that was obviously tired and vaguely a little empty.

After hearing what she just said, Ginjo Sosuke discovered something.

She has been working very hard in every aspect to meet the expectations of others.

During this process, she must have shouldered countless hardships, and this must have been more than once or twice when she fainted from exhaustion or almost collapsed.

This situation has happened twice since Ginjo met her.

Perhaps it was because of these illusory obsessions that she naturally got used to this tremendous pressure and hardship.

Lisa Shiraishi has always put herself in such a difficult situation for the sake of others, and she didn't even realize it until her body was about to reach its limit.

How gentle this woman is!

"Sousuke, do you understand now? I'm really fine, so let me go back to the stall, okay?"

"No."

"Eh?"

"I don't care about what happened in the past, but starting today, this kind of thing must stop!"

After hearing what he just said, it was even less likely that Yincheng would let her go.

She would never take a rest on her own initiative, and if no one stopped her, her body would collapse one day.

Therefore, Ginjo Sosuke must be the one to change all this!

"I will never let you leave here. I will make sure Lisa has a good rest today."

"Sousuke... why? Why are you acting so impulsively?"

"It's Lisa who's acting on impulse, right? You're the one who's getting tired because you always refuse to listen to advice."

"This is nothing... and I just rested for a while..."

"Only one hour of sleep is not enough for your current body."

"I'm really fine now. Even if I want to rest, I have to wait until today's activities are over. Kurizono and Midorikawa must be busy now."

Really, Yin Cheng has persuaded her so earnestly, she still wants to go back to work? !

"By the way, I have something for you."

Ginjo didn't want to argue with her any further, so he tried to divert her attention elsewhere.

"Sousuke wants to give me something?"

Perhaps because she was surprised by Ginjō's words, Shiraishi Lisa's eyes sparkled and the expression on her face was like a child waiting to open a Christmas present.

"Yes, but you need to close your eyes first. Don't open them until I say so."

"Ok, ok, I understand."

Shiraishi Lisa closed her eyes tightly, looking forward to what kind of surprise Ginjo would give her.

Ginjo put his hand in his pocket and gently moved behind her.

This woman is truly beautiful in every way.

After taking a closer look like this, Ginjo once again realized how beautiful she was.

Proper facial features and beautiful long silver hair that is full of femininity.

Her skin was so white that it was almost sickly white, and her rosy cheeks and lips looked very charming.

Needless to say, her tall figure and proud curves are so beautiful that if you hadn't seen her in real life, you would never have imagined that such a beautiful girl really exists.

"call..."

Ginjo let out a long breath. He didn't want this perfect woman who already belonged to him to consume him like this anymore.

Then he put his hand behind Lisa Shiraishi's neck and put the thing he took out of his pocket on her.
