Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Be more specific!"

"Hmm? He's a class council member or something. He's good at studying, but he's not a very rigid person. He greets us when we meet, but we don't chat that often."

Under Chie Hoshino's questioning, Ginjo briefly described the girl's general situation.

It turned out to be the case.

The image of a cheerful and intelligent girl immediately emerged in Chie Hoshino's mind, with a short ponytail on her head and the short hair that was not tied up left cutely on her temples.

She must be a class monitor type girl who can express her opinions regardless of gender, is trusted by the teacher, and can chat with Sosuke on an equal footing, right? !

And she will definitely cherish the few communications between herself and Yincheng and every moment of longing for each other in her heart.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Ginjo Sousuke again.

I really don't know how many romantic opportunities this charmingly handsome guy has in school that he doesn't even know about...

Chapter 603: Madam Needs Irrigation

It's nothing new that Ginjo Sosuke is popular among girls at school.

With his tall stature and superior looks, he was surrounded by many girls from the first day he transferred to Wuyuan.

Before Lisa Shiraishi, the first people to launch an offensive against him were the girls in his class.

Those who are more extroverted will go straight to him during class breaks and ask him all kinds of questions, and of course they will not forget to ask for his LINE number.

Those relatively introverted and shy girls prefer to slip him some letters filled with admiration when no one is around.

Yincheng had experienced this in his previous school, so he had long been accustomed to it.

Of course, he couldn't respond to every girl's pursuit, otherwise even if he was lent a few more clones, he would still be too busy.

Fortunately, after Lisa Shiraishi appeared, most of the girls knew what was best for them and backed off.

After all, they don't have the confidence to compete with the beautiful student council president who stands at the top of the campus.

Although Ginjo can now easily talk about this topic with Chie Hoshino, he was actually still a little surprised when he encountered the confession incident again a few days ago.

The main reason was that the person who confessed to him was really beyond his expectations.

Yuki Mizutani is the class monitor of Ginjo's class and a top student who always tops the academic rankings in his grade.

In Yincheng's impression, she was a very quiet girl. Apart from presiding over necessary class meetings, she spent most of her time sitting alone reading books.

The two first met at the school festival last semester, when Yuki Mizutani adopted his advice and arranged the "Hokkaido Ramen" shop at the festival.

After that, although they were considered friends, they only greeted each other when they met, and they did not have much contact in private.

In Ginjo's eyes, Mizutani Yuki is definitely the kind of girl who values ​​her studies more than anything else, and things like campus romance should not be within her consideration.

So when she suddenly confessed to him a few days ago, Ginjo was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.

Was she inspired by the couples on campus, or did she watch some romance anime recently and decide to give it a try before graduation?

Ginjo searched for various answers in his mind, but he felt that he could not connect them with the girl with glasses in front of him.

Yuki Mizutani's refreshing short hair from last semester has grown longer and is now tied into a cute ponytail, which adds a lot of femininity to her overall look.

But even so, she still couldn't enter Yincheng's detection radar.

Although Yincheng never refuses any beautiful woman who comes to him on her own initiative, she must at least meet his standard of "beauty".

Even if he had unlimited physical strength and an incredible recovery speed, it would be impossible for him to have in-depth communication with every girl in the school who admired him.

"So what happened next? What was the result of the confession? Did Sousuke reply?"

Chie Hoshino leaned close to Ginjō's face and asked, looking quite anxious.

I don’t know if she was simply gossiping or worried about the possibility of a new competitor.

"Well, I replied right on the spot, saying I couldn't date her, sorry."

Ginjō took a sip of his miso soup and replied calmly.

"Huh? Why?"

"Why? Of course it's because I don't have that kind of thought about her."

"Fool!"

What a fool! I really want to shout "waste" from the bottom of my heart!

"From now on, it would be good to start thinking like that. If you don't have that thought, then try to have it!"

The little ponytail who mustered up the courage to confess was so pitiful.

Only then did Ginjo realize that the reason why Hoshino Chie was so excited was probably because she put herself in the role of the rejected girl.

"If there is no other way, then I can only refuse."

"Huh? Why does even Chiaki say that?!"

Chiaki Hoshino, who nodded frequently, seemed much more rational and sober than her sister.

You have to know that every additional girl who successfully confesses her love to Gincheng may mean one less minute of time that she and her sister can get from Gincheng.

"But that girl actually said that if I didn't want to date her, I could just give her a kiss, and then she would give up."

Ginjo recalled the scene at that time and also found it very strange. No matter how he looked at it, these behaviors were very different from the personality that Yuki Mizutani had always maintained.

This also reinforced Ginjo's previous speculation that she might have been stimulated by something recently, or that her brain was invaded by some romance animation style.

"what?"

Hearing this, the three women at the table exclaimed almost in unison.

"You guys find it weird too, right? Didn't I reject her? I have no idea what she was thinking at the time."

Ginjo Sosuke has seen countless women, but he still can't guess women's ever-changing thoughts.

This idiot actually refused! Big idiot!

The girl asks for a kiss because she wants to at least keep a memory and use it as a talisman to commemorate the occasion!

Chie Hoshino pouted and couldn't help but shout loudly in her heart.

She wanted to preach to Yincheng madly and tell him the meaning and truth of the pitiful girl's heart.

If I were the girl who was rejected, I would definitely be very sad.

However──

"Not only would it be meaningless to meet the other party's request, but saying this might make people feel a little selfish."

The mind of a mature woman like Tomoko Matsumoto is indeed different from that of Chie Hoshino, who always likes to put herself in other people's emotions.

"Isn't that so, Sister Tomoko?"

Ginjo seemed to have found a soulmate, and gave his wife a look that said, "You still understand me."

"Yes, I think it's a bit selfish."

"If Sosuke-kun refuses, he will be considered too cold to a girl. Even if you agree, the other party will insist that if you are willing to kiss her, it means there is still a chance."

"No matter how I answer, it's not the right answer. I feel like I'm being "checkmated" when the other party says that."

Matsumoto Tomoko held her chopsticks and talked incessantly to Ginjo about her arguments.

"Yeah, I also think what Sister Tomoko said makes sense. Now that Sosuke has been made a checkmate, it's better to give up as soon as possible."

After his wife finished speaking, Chiaki Hoshino quickly echoed her words.

"That's what I thought, but the girl looked very sad and didn't come to school the next day."

"The teachers and classmates were all very surprised, and I seemed to be the only one who knew the reason."

Ginjo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He really never thought that a girl like Mizutani Yuki would one day be troubled by love.

"By the way, Sousuke, have you had similar experiences before?"

Chie Hoshino asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"What experience are you talking about?"

Ginjo turned his head slowly to look at her, as if he just now remembered that she was there.

"So he was confessed to by a girl, and after he rejected her, he kissed her as compensation? And there might be more than one girl?"

Chie Hoshino's eyes were widened to the point of almost becoming a triangle, and she looked like she wanted to seek justice for those girls who had been hurt by Ginjo.

"answer me!"

"I will only answer if I am accompanied by a lawyer."

Ginjo remained silent and placed the chopsticks in his hand on the table.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to answer, it’s just that so many girls have confessed to him that he himself can’t remember what happened after that.

If we put together all those fragments of refusing to confess in my mind, they would probably become a movie lasting several hours.

"Actually, it's not Sousuke-kun's fault. It's because our Sousuke-kun is so popular with girls."

"So don't dwell on the past anymore. Let's think about what we should do next. Today is a rare weekend."

It was Tomoko Matsumoto who finally stood up and eased the slightly tense atmosphere. In the eyes of his wife, every moment spent with Ginjo must be cherished.

"Oh, by the way, didn't Sister Tomoko just say that the summer fruits on the balcony are about to end? How about we go to Roppongi Gardening for a stroll?"

Chiaki Hoshino suddenly suggested something, as he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Yeah, that's a good idea Chiaki, I want to go there too, what do you think, Sousuke-kun?"

"Okay, I've heard Sister Tomoko mention that place a lot before, but I haven't had a chance to go see it yet."

Since all three of them agreed, only Chie Hoshino is left.

"Then we'll clean up the balcony after we clean up the dining table, and clear out all the potted summer vegetables like eggplant, okra, and green peppers that we've already picked."

"Go buy some more sprouts for autumn and winter and put them in the cleared space, Chie?"

Tomoko Matsumoto called out the name of Chie Hoshino, who looked a little dejected.

"Don't make that sad face and go help clean up, sis."

"Eh? But I'm not interested in gardening or anything like that?"
