Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Eh? Did you prepare some cosplay clothes as well?"

"No, but I do have a wonderful wand, and you will surely like the magic it casts."

Ginjo Sosuke raised his lips in a teasing arc and carried her towards the bedroom...

Chapter 628: My wife and I at our daughter's school

The cloud-filled sky between the school buildings was filled with the audience's laughter.

Sachiko Matsumoto left the comedian's performance halfway through at the atrium of the University of Tsukuba's Tokyo campus.

It really looks like the face on TV, so cool.

She left the courtyard, thinking about some very random thoughts in her mind, and headed towards the school building she had intended to go to earlier.

With the arrival of the new semester, universities in Tokyo have begun to hold cultural festivals.

It is already the middle of October, and even the University of Tsukuba, where Matsumoto Sachiko studies, is bustling with activity because of the festival.

In high school, joining a club is part of the curriculum, but it is different in college. For Matsumoto Sachiko, who did not specifically join any clubs, these few days were no different from a holiday.

Even so, if I don't show up at school, I will feel lonely and it will be a waste of the good time in college.

So she made do with the connections she had made in her student life so far, going to concerts by the Handbell Society, public seminars by random celebrities, or just getting a bite to eat here and there.

To be honest, when she was a candidate, the University of Tsukuba was the school she wanted to get into no matter what.

Therefore, she once enthusiastically visited the cultural festival here, but when she actually became a student here, the novelty was far less strong than before.

For Matsumoto Sachiko, the only difference is whether or not she has friends she knows.

One of her best friends said that she would be at the screening of a movie shot by the club, and asked her to go over when she had time.

Sachiko Matsumoto can't imagine what kind of images the club, which always watches movies to its heart's content, will put together, so she is very much looking forward to it.

While confirming the location of the screening venue recorded on her cell phone, she walked around the school, blending in with the usual crowd.

On the wide road lined with trees, narrow stalls set up by various seminars, clubs, and aspirational groups are lined up on both sides.

Where are all these groups usually hiding in the university?

Matsumoto Sachiko sighed in surprise as the crowd came and went.

"Why is Yuko here?"

She couldn't help but speak loudly.

The crepe vendor sandwiched between the oden stall and the curry stall, the person standing behind the iron plate is her partner in English conversation class, Yuko Asano.

The other party also seemed to notice Matsumoto Sachiko who suddenly stopped in front of the stall.

"Sachiko..."

"How are you, that..."

Matsumoto Sachiko approached the vendor, staring intently.

"I was pulled here by a senior from the County Citizens Association..."

Asano Yuko heard her vague words and answered in a voice as small as a mosquito.

"So this is ah..."

So, she is indeed a citizen of Miyagi Prefecture who came from Sendai, the forest city.

Asano Yuko's current outfit - she wears a helmet made of origami on her head and a Japanese-style short coat with the words "Miyagi Prefecture Citizens' Association" written on it. She doesn't look like someone from outside Miyagi Prefecture at all.

Only the pair of half-frame glasses full of urban design sense and the pure face with a childlike temperament make people feel that she can actually dress fashionably.

“Can I have one?”

Yuko Asano nodded silently. It seemed that she was the only one responsible for running the store.

"Beef tongue or edamame paste, which one would you like, Sachiko?"

Are these the only two options?

“Edamame please.”

“We’ll add mochi.”

After she said this, she took out the ingredients from the large mixing bowl and grilled them on a special iron plate.

The mechanized cooking technique seemed to have been practiced to perfection and did not look unfamiliar or dangerous at all.

It was unbelievable to see Yuko Asano, who was usually quiet and taciturn, making crepes while wearing a short Japanese jacket and a helmet on her head.

"By the way, Sachiko..."

Asano Yuko, who was silently making crepes, suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Yuko?"

"That's the incredibly handsome boy Sachiko mentioned before. What happened to you guys later?"

"Ah, about that matter, Sousuke and I should be considered as dating, since last month."

"Huh? I really envy you. Why don't we have boys like that at Tsukuba University?"

How should I answer her?

There seemed to be a guillotine called silence between the other side of the iron plate and Matsumoto Sachiko's side.

She carefully glanced at Asano Yuko's expression, which seemed to be no different from before she spoke.

The other party is a woman who often gets angry for no reason, and it is difficult to judge her emotions at this time.

"Maybe I'm just lucky. Yuko will definitely meet a great partner too."

"I hope I can lend you my good wishes. Here, the mochi and edamame flavor you requested is ready."

Yuko Asano sighed and handed the finished crepe to Sachiko Matsumoto.

After saying goodbye to her best friend, she ate crepes while walking in the bustling festival campus.

In addition to the light green edamame paste, the crepe also contains slightly hard whipped cream and a surprising amount of mochi.

Is this a special treat among acquaintances?

The taste is unexpectedly good, they are really good at making edamame flavored crepes.

"Hi~Sachiko~"

Just as Matsumoto Sachiko was immersed in the delicious food, a familiar and magnetic voice came from behind her.

"Zong...Zongsuke?!"

"Mom, you actually brought Sousuke with you?"

The handsome boyfriend who had just been envied by her classmates suddenly appeared in front of her in an instant. Matsumoto Sachiko was so surprised that she almost jumped up on the spot.

"I heard that Sister Tomoko was coming to visit your school's cultural festival, so I took the initiative to come along."

"What, aren't you welcome?"

Ginjo showed his signature sunny smile and waved to Matsumoto Sachiko.

He found out about this last night when he and his wife were chatting after exercise, so he skipped his class and came over to play.

"Of course you are welcome. How could I not welcome you? It would be better if mom had told me earlier so that I could pick you up at the school gate."

Matsumoto Sachiko coquettishly took his wife's arm, the excitement and joy on her face could no longer be hidden.

"I thought about notifying you in advance, but Sousuke-kun said he wanted to prepare a surprise for you, so we came directly."

While holding her daughter, Tomoko Matsumoto looked towards Ginjō who was standing opposite her.

The wife felt that the happiness at this moment was a little unreal because the two most important people in her life were by her side.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why mom didn't show up so late, and she didn't even call me."

My wife had an appointment to go to the cultural festival with our daughter, but we were slightly delayed because of traffic.

Fortunately, Ginjo's height gave him an advantage in vision, allowing him to spot Matsumoto Sachiko in the bustling crowd and avoid ruining the carefully prepared surprise.

"Now that everyone is here, how about Sachiko be our tour guide?"

Yincheng was dazzled by the various stalls and didn't know where to go first.

"Yeah, leave it to me. I'm planning on joining my friend's film club. I heard it's really fun. Shall we join?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Sachiko."

Matsumoto Sachiko put her free hand around Ginjō, and the three of them walking side by side really looked like a close family of three.

"Ah, Sachiko, you're here~"

"Hey, Xiaotong, sorry to have kept you waiting~"

At the end of the second floor of Hall 4, one of the small classrooms along the long corridor is the screening venue for the film research club "Watch as Much as You Want".

Matsumoto Sachiko's best friend Miura Hitomi was sitting at the conference table in the corridor in front of the classroom. She seemed to be the receptionist of the screening and was wearing a beautiful orange suit.

She high-fived her best friend who was sitting on a chair across the table.

"Hey, when did you guys film the movie? I can't even imagine it. I'm so excited now!"

"Ah, actually—"

"Eh? Won't you introduce this rare character to me?"

Hitomi Miura quickly noticed Ginjō's presence and stuck her head in his direction.

"Why did you take out your phone, Xiaotong?"

"I feel that as long as you take pictures of rare characters, you can exchange them for rare props. Can you please come over there and look at me~"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's my mother."

"Huh? Mrs. Matsumoto is so young. She looks like your sister."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miura-san."

When her daughter's classmate suddenly said this, Tomoko Matsumoto's cheeks were immediately filled with smiles.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Matsumoto. I'm a very good photographer. Can I take a photo of you two?"
