Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

A breeze blew by, carrying with it a trace of heat left over from the day, but also mixed with the fragrance of forest and soil.

Occasionally, the sound of birds singing could be heard in the distance, clear and melodious, as if they were also enjoying the cool evening.

There are the sounds of nature in my ears and picturesque scenery in front of my eyes. All the worries in my body seem to be completely released at this moment.

"I'll move the barbecue grill, Qianqiu, can you help me get a bundle of firewood?"

Ginjo's eyes became clear as he felt refreshed.

"Hmm, is one bundle enough?"

The blush on Hoshino Chiaki's face has not completely faded, and the lingering taste of Ginjo is still lingering on the tip of her tongue.

"Well, that's all, let's go back."

I didn't expect that I could taste both sisters in less than half a day at the villa. Yincheng was very satisfied with this progress.

The two men set up the barbecue stove next to the table. Ginjo untied the firewood and put it into the stove, then used a match to light the newspaper that Chiaki Hoshino gave him.

When the fire of the firewood begins to stabilize, throw in a few pieces of charcoal bought from the supermarket and observe the changes in the fire.

The setting sun gradually sank below the horizon. In the quiet summer night, only the chirping of insects and the crackling of burning firewood echoed.

"I always feel that this kind of time is really luxurious."

Chiaki Hoshino stayed beside Ginjō, watching his profile being illuminated by the firelight with a warm color.

"Yeah, I wouldn't be able to experience this kind of time in Tokyo."

Ginjo said casually as he stared at the flames.

"That's right. If you bake Barbie Q in a residential area, maybe even the neighbors from the next block will come to your door."

In fact, they are not complaining about the city where they live.

Not only are the transportation facilities complete, public facilities are also readily available, and shopping centers are everywhere, so you don't have to worry about not finding a place to eat, drink, and have fun.

Compared with the countryside now, the hardware conditions were definitely much better, and it was quite comfortable once you got used to it.

But it is also true that, because of this, big cities are always noisy and it is difficult for people to calm down.

If you ask Yincheng whether he wants to live in this villa forever, he may inevitably feel some inconvenience.

It is precisely because we know that we are seeking something that we cannot get in normal times that we feel that the time we occasionally spend with them is a luxury.

"Thanks to you, Chiaki. If it weren't for Hojo-sensei's love for you, we wouldn't have the chance to live in such a nice villa."

Ginjō turned over the charcoal that was beginning to heat up and thanked Hoshino Chiaki in a gentle tone.

"That's not the case. I think Hojo-sensei actually values ​​Sousuke more, right?"

"Anyway, I really enjoyed this trip."

"For me, this summer vacation is the first one that I've spent with Sousuke. I feel nothing but gratitude for you creating memories for me like this."

"However, this leisurely time will soon come to an end..."

Chiaki Hoshino took Ginjō's arm and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.

Everything will be busy again soon after school starts. I don’t know how much time I will have to spend with him sweetly like today.

"There will be plenty of vacations in the future, so don't feel sentimental anymore, Qianqiu."

"In short, let's enjoy the present moment and not waste every minute and every second."

Ginjō made up his mind as he stared at the charcoal that was turning red and releasing heat.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting—"

At this moment, Chie Hoshino and others, who had prepared the sauce, came to the outdoor wooden terrace with full basins.

There was nothing wrong with them bringing out food and drinks from the kitchen, but...

"Are there more ingredients than before?"

Yincheng found the problem at a glance, especially the meat. It should be said that the amount of vegetables did not change much, only the meat had obviously increased.

"I think it won't be enough for five people, so I asked Chie to cut more."

Matsumoto Tomoko held several plates of different sauces in her hands and explained to Ginjō with a smile.

"That's right, five people will consume a lot of meat."

Chie Hoshino stood beside her wife and nodded repeatedly.

"Isn't that enough?"

No, the portion now is definitely more than five people's serving. I feel like it's more than enough for ten people.

Every time Ginjo thought he had figured out Chie Hoshino's appetite, she would bring him a new shock.

The memory of his first meal with Chie Hoshino suddenly came back to him. At that time, his wife prepared a surprisingly large dinner, but she ate it all up.

However, she said something like "snacks are for another stomach" and dragged her sister to the convenience store to buy snacks.

All the sakura cakes she bought ended up in her stomach, which shocked Ginjo on the spot.

That night, he understood for the first time what girls meant by "dessert is in another stomach."

"No problem. There are five of us. It's easy to finish the meal~"

A few months have passed since then, and hearing similar speeches still reminds Yincheng of the scene at that time.

"I think it will be easier with you here. Be careful not to burst your stomach!"

Yincheng gave the warning for the time being, and after everyone was seated, the Barbie Q dinner at the forest villa officially began.

At first, everyone gathered around the grill and watched the barbecue curiously, but after a while they probably got bored and sat down to chat.

By the time Yincheng noticed, he was the only one holding the clamp.

After taking a look at the women who were happily chatting and laughing, he kept turning the barbecue ingredients in his hands.

The same is true when eating hot pot and barbecue. At this time, there will probably be someone specifically responsible for the preparation, and today it is Yincheng's turn to play this role.

However, the thought that these women would sooner or later end up in his mouth like these ingredients made him feel full of energy.

“Wow, this sauce tastes amazing!”

Chie Hoshino put the meat into her mouth and said loudly with shining eyes.

"This is a Japanese-style sauce with wasabi."

"Good quality meat is delicious just with wasabi, but for people who are afraid of wasabi, the smell is too pungent, so I made a lot of adjustments to make wasabi only serve to enhance the flavor."

Chiaki Hoshino introduced her masterpiece to her sister with a proud look on her face.

"Hmm, I've never tasted this flavor before, but it's very refreshing and delicious."

"Right~ The other sauces taste great too, so you can eat as much as you want today, sis."

"Ladies, please make way. The freshly baked meat is about to be served."

After Yincheng picked up the plates to divide the roasted ingredients, he continued to add ingredients to the stove.

However, this barbecue oven is too small to grill food for five people, and the amount that can be grilled at one time is limited.

The result is that the ingredients are eaten faster than they are grilled, and the process of the meat being sent to the stomach as soon as it is cooked is repeated.

"Sousuke, I want more meat."

Just as Ginjō was grilling the meat desperately, Chie Hoshino held out a plate to him.

Because the meat was not cooked yet, he handed it over with king oyster mushrooms instead.

"Everyone is eating too fast, please slow down a bit."

"Because it's delicious, right, Sachiko?"

"Mmm, delicious and fun."

"Haha, isn't that right? This is the perfect Barbie Q for summer~"

Stop being so complacent over there and come and help us.

Although Ginjo thought so, seeing the girls enjoying themselves made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

Eating meat with big mouthfuls, entangled with each other and sweating, isn’t this the meaning of youth?

"It's okay to eat meat, but you have to eat vegetables too. Also, remember to save some for me!"

Yincheng hasn't even had a piece of meat yet.

"Sousuke-kun, let me watch the stove, you can go eat something."

It was Matsumoto Tomoko who was the first to considerately sit next to Ginjō.

"It's okay, Sister Tomoko, I'll be fine."

Normally, my wife is in charge of cooking at home, so it’s time for her to have a rest occasionally.

"Since Sosuke wants to eat, let me feed you!"

Chie Hoshino picked up a piece of steak covered with sauce and was about to put it into Ginjo's mouth.

"Ugh?!"

Hoshino Chiaki and Matsumoto Sachiko shouted in surprise at the same time.

They probably didn't expect that Chie Hoshino would be able to do the kind of actions that only happen between couples under the gaze of so many people.

"Sousuke is busy grilling the ingredients and doesn't seem to have time to eat. Someone needs to feed him~"

After Hoshino Chie said this in a very deliberate tone, the chopsticks were already close to Ginjō's lips.

"Please use it~ This is fed by a beautiful girl herself~"

The other women all turned their eyes to Yin Cheng, each with an eager expression on their face...

"If you don't eat quickly, the sauce will drip down, Sousuke."

Chie Hoshino opened her mouth and made an "ah" expression while urging Sousuke Ginjo.

"Then I won't be polite."
