Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Let's just keep going like this!"

"Yeah, yeah."

That being said, it would seem unnatural if the answers were consistent.

After that, Ginjo mixed in some wrong answers as appropriate, and finally reached three unanimous approval conditions for the eleventh question.

"It seems that Ginjo-senpai and I suddenly had the same ideas in the second half."

"That's because I analyzed Xiaokui's answers and tracked your thought patterns."

"Huh? Is that so? Ginjo-senpai is indeed an excellent student with outstanding grades!"

Hearing Ginjō's bluff, Hatano Aoi immediately looked at him with admiration, not suspecting that he had actually cheated silently.

Because Ginjō held a very high image in her mind, she could easily get away with it by just saying something like "analyze the answer" and "track the thought pattern".

At this moment, Yui Fujisawa, played by Ms. Ayumi Yamate, appeared on the TV screen again.

Then, her sweet voice as a popular voice actor came from the loudspeaker.

[Congratulations on passing the first trial! Now, you are recognized as a witch! ]

[Then please start your first job as a priestess right away! I hope you can restore the broken stone slab to its original state! ]

[The fragments of the slate are in a brown box, please open it and take a look! ]

Ginjo immediately opened the brown box on the table as instructed, and found a large number of puzzle pieces inside.

The number of fragments is roughly estimated to be more than a hundred.

[After completing the slab, you can enter the next trial! It's hard, but keep trying! ]

After Ms. Yamate Ayumi finished her encouragement, this sentence appeared on the entire screen of the LCD TV.

[Second Trial o Completion Slate]

The tablet simply displayed the same sentence, but there was no indication of what the completed puzzle would look like anywhere.

It seems that they have to assemble without knowing the overall appearance of the group, which is quite difficult.

"I'm not really good at puzzle games like this. I have no idea where to start..."

Hatano Aoi muttered to herself somewhat uneasily.

"Don't overthink it. Let's first gather the parts that are not connected to the other parts and then build the outer frame."

"If you take a loaf of bread, it's like making the edges first."

Ginjo said as he turned the puzzle box upside down and scattered the contents onto the table.

He placed the pieces with the patterns facing up without overlapping them.

The patterned parts of the fragments are 80% brown and 20% black. It looks something like this.

"Next, we just need to sort them by color. After all, there is a high probability that adjacent fragments have the same color."

“So that’s what I learned.”

"After the sorting is done, you have to put the pieces together. If you look at the pattern, you might be confused, so you have to see if it matches the shape of the fragments."

"I understand. Although it sounds difficult, I will try my best."

"Anyway, can Xiaokui assemble the unconnected pieces and make the outer frame?"

"Yeah, don't worry, Senior Ginjo, leave it to me!"

In this way, the two people began to work together to complete the puzzle assignment.

They stood on either side of the table, each sorting the fragments.

After a while, the fragments were sorted out, and then Hatano Aoi began to assemble the outer frame, and Ginjo also began to assemble the other parts.

However, because there were too many similar patterns, Yincheng's work was difficult to continue.

The difficulty level of this kind of puzzle game is very strange. If elementary school students were asked to participate, they would definitely cry.

"Ginjo-senpai, I've finished the outer frame!"

When Ginjō's part was only about 20% completed, Hatano Aoi excitedly reported to him.

When Ginjo turned his gaze towards her, he saw a square frame with a diameter of about thirty centimeters.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaokui. Let's split up and put the remaining pieces together."

"Yeah, I know!"

Hatano Aoi moved closer to Ginjō and found the fragments that had not been combined.

"Hmm... I can't figure out which one is next to which..."

“Aren’t there a lot of black lines on the brown fragments? The thickness of the lines are all subtly different, so I think we can use it as a clue.”

While Ginjō was explaining, he reached out to take a piece of the debris in front of Hatano Aoi.

Then, Hatano Aoi also came over, and the two people's thighs were pressed tightly together.

Although her softness and faint body temperature were conveyed, she seemed to be concentrating on putting the puzzle together and did not give any response.

"That will complete the final slab, right?"

"Yes, I think it was a pattern made with black paint on the brown slate."

While they were talking, Hatano Aoi's body leaned a little towards Ginjō.

The next moment, a soft part touched Ginjō's elbow.

There was no need to confirm the original form of that thing, its softness was incomparable to the thigh I had just touched.

Such a soft feeling can't be found anywhere else except the ridges that are unique to girls.

Ginjo subconsciously stopped what he was doing and focused all his attention on his elbow.

Even though he had experience in many battles, he still couldn't resist this purest instinct.

Being so close to a girl who wasn't even his lover had happened too many times in Ginjo's life.

In this situation, girls are likely to say something like "I'll be embarrassed, stay away from me."

However, Hatano Aoi seemed to be focusing all her attention on the puzzle challenge and was completely unaware of this incident.

In this case, Ginjo had no choice but to continue fighting with Jigsaw while feeling the soft invasion.

After all, if she doesn't mind, there's no need for me to put the game aside because of such a small matter.

After that, without Hatano Aoi's conscious interference, the real-life game strategy continued as usual.

In RPG games, being attacked by the enemy's Thrashing skills usually causes one to faint for a while, but fortunately, Ginjo has gained strong resistance due to his many battle records.

Although he was unable to unleash his original strength, he finally broke through [The Third Trial - Obtaining the Dragon-Slaying Sword] and [The Fourth Trial - Defeat the Dragon that Serves God], and finally successfully cleared the entire level.

[Congratulations on completing the guide! You have been recognized as capable shrine maidens! ]

[However, our battle will not end until we defeat God! Let’s work hard together from now on! ]

Ginjo felt a great sense of accomplishment as he not only received praise from Miss Yamate Ayumi, but was also recognized as a companion.

The same went for Hatano Aoi beside him; she closed her eyes slightly, looking very moved.

After a while, the main visual image of "Blasphemy Priestess" appeared on the LCD TV. The game was over, and the two people left the room one after another with satisfaction.

"Phew, it feels so good. I really had a lot of fun today."

As the two people walked towards the exit of the building, Hatano Aoi said this with great emotion.

"Ginjo-senpai, thank you so much for accompanying me today. I really like participating in activities like this with you~"

"Really? I still prefer to play alone."

Ginjo Sousuke smiled softly and said to her deliberately teasing her.

"Really? This is Senior Ginjo's punishment for lying and running away on Friday. I've come here several times to catch him."

"Yeah, you said it was my fault, so I played with you."

"I understand. The sins committed by the senior have been paid for."

"In that case, I will just apply for individual tickets for the real event?"

"I won't force Senior Ginjo, but I will definitely try to change Senior's mind before the ticket application deadline, absolutely~"

"Eh? Isn't that the same as forcing me?"

"No, I want to change you as a person, Senior. I want to change you into someone who can feel that activities with more people will be more fun and more convenient for me."

Hatano Aoi said this forcefully, then clenched her hands tightly against her chest.

This kind of speech is not as gentle as forcing Ginjō to do.

"By the way, I also put my phone on vibrate mode when I sleep, so you can contact me anytime, Ginjo-senpai?"

"When you want to apply for a double ticket, please contact me immediately, no matter if it's late at night or early in the morning!"

"I know, but I will never change my mind."

"I think since Ginjo-senpai has a friend who can help you buy the Blu-ray BD, it means you will also open your heart to others, right?"

"Of course, why do you bring this up?"

"In this case, if our relationship becomes closer, Senior will probably change his mind."

"So, Ginjo-senpai, please talk to me about Ayumi Yamate in the future. If I want to chat with you, I will contact you, so please reply to me within one minute~"

Hatano Aoi said something extremely willful and then smiled broadly.

Although he could refuse with all his strength, Ginjo didn't want to go to that extent because he felt that it was still okay to chat about topics related to common interests.

Maybe it's because Hatano Aoi's smile is too cute, so his attack power is temporarily reduced.

Just like you never get annoyed no matter how much a baby cries, cuteness is always justice and the strongest.

"Okay, Ginjo-senpai, what should we do next?"

After the two came to the exit of the building, Hatano Aoi started asking questions.

"Why don't we go to the cafe and have a party to celebrate the completion of the guide and to thank Ayumi Yamate for being the best narrator?"

"That's not necessary."
