Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Did Sosuke go there just to be hit on?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Is it so good to be hit on by someone?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, right? You can meet some pretty girls, and maybe even get some free food and drinks."

"Eh? Sosuke can also go work part-time, it's not like there are no other places to make money..."

Of course, Yincheng was joking when he said this to her, but if she knew that she had a lot of passive income every day even without leaving the house, she would definitely feel very unbalanced.

"Can Sachiko make a lot of money working here?"

"Well... that's not the case... I only came here part-time to complete the research report..."

Apparently working in a bookstore doesn't pay very much.

Basically, running a bookstore is a business with meager profits, so it is normal for the salary to be low, even for full-time employees, let alone part-time employees.

"Oh, then, you hate freeloading?"

"Rather than saying I hate free food and drinks, I don't really like owing favors to others. Besides, having someone treat me feels like I'm being looked down upon for not having an income, which is really unpleasant."

Sachiko Matsumoto believes that one has to give in order to gain, and "one-sided treatment" will only make her suspect that the other party has other intentions.

The most expensive thing in the world is free stuff. In comparison, eating with your own money tastes much better.

After this explanation, Ginjo looked at Matsumoto Sachiko with even greater respect.

I have to say, it is rare to find a girl with such a correct outlook on life as her nowadays.

"Yeah, what Sachiko said is absolutely right, but being able to see the six-pack abs of a youthful college student can't be considered free, right?"

"Youthful? That's a word only older men would use, right? Is there really any vitality at all?"

"You mean to say that I'm an idler?"

"I didn't say that."

Matsumoto Sachiko only thought about it in her heart.

"I know what you are thinking~"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"By the way..."

Ginjo Sosuke raised his index finger and pressed it against Matsumoto Sachiko's small nose, his expression like a cat that had successfully played a prank.

"Everything I just told you was a lie."

"all?"

"Yes, all of them."

"Eh? Then what's the point of Sosuke telling such a lie?"

"It doesn't mean anything special. I just wanted to see Sachiko's cute expression after she got fooled."

Ginjo Sousuke emphasized firmly.

"Hate it, who would always want to tease others at a time like this?"

Matsumoto Sachiko pursed her lips and gave Ginjō a solid slap on the arm.

But she was actually relieved after finding out they were all lies.

Her mother and the female tenants in the apartment were enough to keep her busy for a while. If some women of unknown origin were brought back from the beach, who knows what the situation would become.

Matsumoto Sachiko observed Ginjō again and felt that she should have seen through the truth just now.

If he really liked being approached by girls at the beach, he wouldn't have hung out with everyone in Okinawa, right?

But looking at Gincheng's handsome profile, strong arms, and super healthy skin tanned by the sun, I'm afraid no girl can resist such temptation, right?

If she and Ginjo didn't know each other at all, she might have been tempted to go up and ask for his contact information.

"Forget it, jokes aside, it's almost time, I have to switch to the cash register."

Matsumoto Sachiko was worried that if she and Ginjo continued to be together in an isolated corner, she would not be able to control herself and might do something out of line.

Even if there are only two days left of my part-time job, it would still be too embarrassing if I was caught by my colleagues, not to mention that there is a surveillance camera working all the time not far above my head.

"Huh? I thought Sachiko took me to such a remote place to do something?"

Ginjo Sosuke spoke with an unfinished tone.

After the summer vacation, he has seen Matsumoto Sachiko many times in different outfits, from cool home clothes to bikinis at the beach, and summer yukatas during fireworks festivals...

But today she looks completely different from when she is at home. Maybe it’s because of the uniform, which makes her look sweeter and more well-behaved.

So even though he was already quite familiar with her, Ginjo's gaze was still naturally drawn to her.

For a moment, the two people's eyes met.

However, in less than a second, Matsumoto Sachiko quickly looked away.

No, I can't keep looking into his eyes.

Matsumoto Sachiko straightened her posture and told herself this.

"Well... just for a moment..."

"Ok?"

Before Ginjo could react, Matsumoto Sachiko stood on tiptoe and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

"Well, this is a reward for Sosuke coming all the way here to see me."

Matsumoto Sachiko left a playful yet slightly shy smile, turned around and left.

Maybe because it was Saturday and summer vacation, a lot of people poured into the store after the lunch rush.

It was around three in the afternoon when the number of customers finally decreased a little.

Ginjo Sosuke bought a drink in the store, then sat not far from the cash register and picked up a comic book to read casually.

After paying the bill, Matsumoto Sachiko said with a smile, "Thank you for your patronage!" After seeing off the guests, there was no longer anyone queuing in front of her.

"But, it's only been about two weeks, Miss Matsumoto absorbed it really quickly!"

The older female clerk that Ginjo had met before praised her like this.

"Is that right?"

Matsumoto Sachiko covered her mouth lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, you've only been here for a few days and I feel like you've got a really smart kid~"

It sounds like the female clerk really thinks Matsumoto Sachiko is amazing.

In fact, Ginjo Sousuke, who was sitting not far from her, felt the same way.

According to his observations during this period, Matsumoto Sachiko was perfect in both checking out and receiving guests, and her process was so smooth that she didn't need help from anyone else.

You have to know that she had only been working for less than two weeks, but she had almost memorized all the work content.

At this time, Yincheng suddenly thought of something.

It seemed to be the first time he heard someone call her "Ms. Matsumoto".

This makes people feel that she is indeed an adult, not in terms of age, but in terms of spirit.

"Thank you, senior."

Matsumoto Sachiko lowered her head politely and smiled back.

I've seen her playing around with the Hoshino sisters in the apartment a lot recently, but I've never seen her smile in such a polite way.

The more carefully you explore, the more you will understand the unknown side of Matsumoto Sachiko.

"However, it's all thanks to the good teaching of the seniors."

"Being able to respond like this is one of your strengths."

"No, no, no, I'm serious."

"Um...Excuse me..."

"Ah, yes!"

The voice coming from the cash register made Matsumoto Sachiko turn her head quickly.

She put on her perfect smile again and began to receive guests.

The other party was an elderly woman with elegant manners, and she seemed to be looking for some comics.

"Would you like me to pay for you?"

"Please, Senior."

After handing the cash register to the older female clerk, Matsumoto Sachiko ran to the sales floor with her customers.

Yincheng originally thought that she would be back soon, but after almost ten minutes, there was still no sign of her.

Matsumoto Sachiko seems to only focus on novels and doesn't have much exposure to comics. Maybe she can't find the comics that the old lady needs.

Thinking of this, Ginjo Sosuke walked towards the comics section with his half-drunk drink, and happened to see Matsumoto Sachiko and the customer who had just spoken, standing in front of the bookshelf at a loss.

"Sachiko, do you need my help?"

Ginjo walked over and patted her shoulder gently from behind.

"Sosuke..."

Matsumoto Sachiko turned around, looking very embarrassed.

The arrival of Ginjo Sosuke is like a savior to her...

Chapter 516: The Moral Shackles Begin to Loosen

The customer waiting on the side looked quite old, and it seemed that her grandson had asked her to come to the bookstore to buy the book.

In other words, the old lady was also not very familiar with comics, so she also had an uneasy expression on her face.

According to Matsumoto Sachiko, the customer was looking for a new book that was released this month.
