Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Now that I think about it, I feel a little bit sorry for her, so I'll just consider this as compensation to her.

"Hehe, Senior Ginjo is indeed the best. Please tell me in detail about the Blu-ray BD that Senior just got~"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"Please don't play dumb, Ginjo-senpai. Did you receive the Blu-ray BDs of "The Blasphemous Priestess" that your friend bought? I saw your friend holding them in the store just now."

"Why do you know even this? Has Xiaokui been following me?"

Yincheng felt more and more that it was no coincidence that he was secretly photographed by her just now. Could it be that his every move was under her surveillance?

"That's not the case, please don't misunderstand me, I'm not a stalker-like woman~"

"I just happened to be shopping in the store, and I ran into you guys chatting in the parking lot."

Hatano Aoi pouted her tender little mouth and defended herself with a little dissatisfaction.

"Is it really such a coincidence? Then why did Xiaokui follow me here?"

Ginjo Sousuke still didn't quite believe what she said.

"Because my home is also in this direction. If you don't believe me, Senior Yincheng, I can take you home to have a look."

Hatano Aoi answered confidently and even pulled up Ginjō's sleeve.

"Forget it then. It seems that I did misunderstand you."

Seeing how sure she was, Yincheng thought that he might have been overthinking.

"Okay, now we can get back to the topic."

"Ginjo-senpai, please tell me honestly, you are planning to use the event ticket priority sale application voucher included in this Blu-ray BD, right?"

"I'm beginning to suspect that you are the witch herself. Why do you know this too?"

Seeing Ginjō wavering, Hatano Aoi laughed mischievously.

"It's so tiring to stand here all the time. Let's go somewhere else and talk slowly. If you don't want this video to spread..."

Just like that, under the leadership of Hatano Aoi, the two moved to a nearby park.

As if she had caught him, Ginjo had no choice but to follow her.

After all, why would it be discovered that he wanted to participate in a reality event?

He obviously didn't tell Ryuichi Okamoto that he bought the Blu-ray BD for the purpose of priority application for event ticket sales.

However, if the previous video was left unchecked, Ginjo didn't know what she would do.

The worst thing is that this guy also knows Chie Hoshino. Even if the girls in the school find out, it’s no big deal, except for her.

Ginjo couldn't stand the thought of being laughed at by Chie Hoshino for this every time they quarreled.

It seems that I have to find a way to control Hatano Aoi's phone and delete that video.

Finally, Ginjo arrived at the park without coming up with a plan, and the two sat side by side on a bench.

"This is the first time Senior Ginjo has been alone with me since the last school celebration."

Hatano Aoi turned towards Ginjō and quietly lowered her head.

"Xiao Kui, there shouldn't be a shortage of suitors, right? I heard that you were chosen as the number one "most wanted bride", isn't that amazing?"

"Indeed."

"You don't deny it?"

"Don't you think it would be disrespectful to other contestants if you were to be modest just because you got first place?"

"That's true. It sounds like it might make people think that the others are ugly girls, so that's why they won."

"I don't mean that, but you're so popular that people are taking pictures of you. If you participate in the "Who You Want to Be Your Husband" contest, maybe you'll win, right?"

"I'm not interested in that kind of cliché activity."

"But if you win, you can get a free ticket for a week at the cafeteria, right?"

"Hmm? Why is there such a subtle prize..."

"No, no, isn't this a great prize? Any menu item you like will be free, right?"

Hatano Aoi clenched her hands and strongly advocated.

"I eat the most expensive yakiniku meal in the cafeteria every day. It's really great. I think there is nothing more delicious in the world than eating yakiniku with other people's money."

"Could it be that Xiaokui is participating in the competition just for the free cafeteria coupons?"

"Of course I will. If there is no prize I want, I will not participate in such a troublesome competition."

"..."

What a simple idea indeed.

Yincheng had always believed that people who participated in appearance contests were those who had a strong desire for self-expression and wanted the public to know about their beauty.

"Okay, enough of the small talk, let's get down to business."

After making this statement, Hatano Aoi straightened her posture and asked Ginjō a question.

"Among the voice actors who appeared in the Blu-ray BD release commemoration, which one do you like, senior?"

“I want to exercise my right to remain silent.”

"Senior, do you think you have the right to remain silent? Don't you want to delete the video?"

Hatano Aoi said this, then shook her phone and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"I won't tell anyone, just tell me."

"Don't you think that "I won't tell anyone" is the most unbelievable sentence in the world?"

"That's not the case. I'm keeping my mouth shut."

"How do you expect me to trust a girl who keeps threatening others with videos?"

"Senior, do you know the theory of human nature being good?"

"I don't think good people would use videos as material to blackmail others."

"You're right. You've hit a sore spot. So why don't you listen to my reasoning first, Senior?"

"reasoning?"

"Senior just talked to the kitten, and one of the main actors in "The Blasphemous Priestess" has recently started raising a cat, and often uploads videos of him playing with the cat."

"So Senior, you picked up that habit when you were watching that video, right?"

Ginjo's eyes widened, as if she saw through everything about him.

"That's not the case..."

"You can't lie, okay? Please tell the truth to this photo of Miss Yamate Ayumi."

As soon as Hatano Aoi finished speaking, she displayed a photo of Yamate Ayumi on her mobile phone and pointed it at Ginjō.

That was Ms. Yamate Ayumi singing passionately at a concert held in September this year.

That unique stage costume showed a strong appeal.

"Hehehe, it seems I don't need to ask for the answer. When I saw the smile on your face when facing Miss Yamate Ayumi, I understood how he felt."

"what does that mean?"

"You like Ayumi Yamate, right?"

"I didn't say..."

"Senior, please give up now."

Yincheng subconsciously did not admit it, because an incident from long ago came to his mind again.

It was probably when I was in junior high school. One time, my classmates were playing a punishment game in the classroom where we had to announce our favorite female artists.

A boy mentioned the name of a super-R photo idol, and was scolded by the girls as "so disgusting", and his school life fell into complete darkness.

No matter how outstanding he is in normal times, the fact that the boy is just liking the gravure idol will cause his stock to plummet.

So from that day on, almost all boys stopped talking about the female stars they liked.

It's probably the same reason as what Ryuichi Okamoto just said, that girls roll their eyes when he mentions popular artists.

"Wait, why does Aoi know Yamate Ayumi so well?"

"After all, being able to release the photos so quickly, does that mean you have already saved them on your phone?"

"Yes, actually..."

Hatano Aoi reached into her bag and handed the Blu-ray BD of "The Blasphemous Priestess" to Ginjō.

"Actually, I also like Miss Yamate Ayumi?"

"Huh? Real or fake?"

Since this animation is aimed at men, Ginjo didn't expect that Hatano Aoi also bought the Blu-ray BD, so he was a little surprised.

But this solves a mystery.

The reason why Hatano Aoi paid attention to Ryuichi Okamoto in the bookstore just now was probably because he bought the exact same Blu-ray BD as herself.

"Of course it's true. I asked several people for help before I was able to buy this BD."

"By the way, Senior, I just said "I like you too", but you didn't deny it, right?"

"that...."

"I'll ask again, you like Ayumi Yamate, right?"

Hatano Aoi leaned forward and asked Ginjō seriously.

It seems that it has been completely exposed, and there is no point in continuing to hide it.

"Yes, I was planning to attend an event starring Ayumi Yamate, so I bought the Blu-ray BD."

Ginjo confessed with determination.

"I see. It wouldn't have hurt if I had just said it earlier~"

Hatano Aoi smiled and kept asking questions.
