Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Among the few people, it seemed that only Ginjo and his wife were not affected much. After all, they sweated so much during the exercise, and the alcohol in their bodies must have evaporated along with it.

After drinking the love hangover porridge specially made by the wife, the girls' complexion gradually became better.

After resting for a while, everyone started to pack up the luggage in the bedroom.

The group went to the villa management office to register for check-out before the sun set, and then drove back to Tokyo.

That day happened to be Friday, which meant there was only one weekend left before the official start of school.

Even though there were only two days, Ginjo Sousuke's schedule was still busy.

He first took a day off to accompany Lisa Shiraishi to fulfill their agreement and attend the third summer festival and fireworks display this summer.

I think only boys who are dating multiple people at the same time can experience this feeling of doing the same thing over and over again.

Like watching the same movie several times, or going to different restaurants with several girls on Valentine's Day...

Considering the multiple benefits that can be enjoyed, such a small contribution does not seem so unacceptable.

On the last day of the long vacation, Ginjo plans to visit Kana Kobayakawa, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

While students are enjoying their summer vacation, people in society still have to work.

Having said that, people in society still have holidays occasionally.

Recently, Kana Kobayakawa's company seems to be paying great attention to issues such as reducing overtime hours and the rate of special leave consumption.

More vacation time might be a good thing, but more vacation time won't mean less work.

After all, they work overtime because they cannot finish the work, but now they are asked not to work overtime, so what should they do? The current situation presents this unbreakable cycle.

Overtime is not allowed and employees must take all required vacation days, but their performance must also be improved.

Being forced to complete this impossible task is what modern society is all about.

If we really want to solve the problem of overwork, we should not just order "reduce overtime hours", but we need more fundamental labor reforms.

However, Kana Kobayakawa is just an employee, so even if she has this idea, it won't change anything.

They can only make good use of the holidays they have and the rights they are given.

Yincheng knocked on her door several times but received no response, so he took the spare key she gave him, opened the door and walked in.

However, what he saw was a scene that was hard to describe.

Kana Kobayakawa fell to the ground in a prone position.

And for some reason, the back of her shirt was lifted up, which looked really funny.

There were pieces of tape on her smooth back. Maybe the application failed and the tape didn't stick completely, so it became a little wrinkled.

"Eh? Sousuke? I thought you were coming a little later!"

"Ugh... don't look at me now... ah... it hurts... it hurts so much..."

Kana Kobayakawa spoke with sobs and tried to get up, but her expression twisted again in the middle.

What is going on?

Ginjo Sousuke quickly ran to her side...

Chapter 548 Kobayakawa Kana’s waist exercise

"Are you okay, Kana?"

"Um... Ouch... Sosuke..."

"what is going on?"

"My waist...my waist...hurts so much..."

When Ginjo Sousuke asked this, Kobayakawa Kana answered with a tearful expression.

It turned out that when Ginjo knocked on the door just now, Kana Kobayakawa happened to be putting on tape.

She was not familiar with how to put tape on her back, and while she was struggling with the tape, Ginjo arrived earlier than the agreed time.

Kana Kobayakawa was so frightened that the tape on her hand was stuck crookedly.

Then, while opening the door in Yincheng, she tried hard to put the tape back on, but she lost her balance and fell. This is what happened.

"Okay, it's attached now."

"Thank you, Sosuke."

Kana Kobayakawa lay on the bed, and Ginjo helped her put new tape on her back.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a while, Ginjo almost forgot how beautiful her back curve was.

Starting from the elegant neck, the delicate skin gradually extends downward like a slowly unfolding fan, reaching a perfect finish between the waist and hips.

The subtly displayed S-shaped lines are neither too ostentatious nor too tempting.

"I'm really sorry. I finally got the chance to meet Sousuke, but you had to see me in such an embarrassing state."

Hey——whoosh——

Kana Kobayakawa first lay down, then stood up carefully.

She didn't use any strength from her waist and back, only using her arms to hold her body up.

This is a unique movement for people with low back pain.

"Why don't you just lie down and rest for a while? Don't push yourself too hard."

It was heartbreaking to see Kana Kobayakawa struggling so Ginjo quickly reached out to help her up.

"It's not that serious. I took the painkillers given by the hospital, and now I feel much better than yesterday."

After finally sitting up, Kobayakawa Kana said apologetically.

According to her, she went to the gym on a whim yesterday. Since she hadn't exercised for a long time, she was in a very high spirits and did several sets of equipment exercises in a row.

Just then, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist, which she recalled was like being struck by lightning.

Because the pain was so severe, Kana Kobayakawa was completely unable to move. It was the receptionist at the gym who took her to an orthopedic hospital for examination and gave her some tape and painkillers.

This colorful tape does not seem to be a plaster, but a special patch called Kinesiology tape.

It is mainly used to treat joint and muscle pain, and is also commonly used in daily sports protection.

Kana Kobayakawa thought that she would be fine after taking the medicine and having a good sleep, and she was planning to have a wonderful date with Ginjo today, but the result was the opposite of what she expected.

"Or we should go to another hospital to have a look. It would be bad if the injury is delayed."

Ginjo Sousuke has participated in sports clubs for many years and has seen many cases where injuries became serious due to negligence, so he couldn't help but remind her with some concern.

"It's really not a big deal. It's not even a sprained back. It's just that I injured my muscles due to the sudden heavy load. The doctor said I just need to rest for two or three days."

Kana Kobayakawa tried hard to force a smile, as if to reassure Ginjō.

"Why didn't Kana tell me about this?"

Ginjo asked her immediately, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Since you were injured, Kana should have told me immediately. If that was the case, I would have rushed over last night."

"But...but..."

Kana Kobayakawa looked like she was about to cry. She stared at Ginjō for a while, then seemed to give up struggling and continued speaking.

"Because... because I'm embarrassed..."

"Embarrassed? Why?"

"If I have back pain or something, I'll look like an old lady, right? I'm not even 30 yet, but I'm embarrassed about my body aging slowly."

"So Kana cares about this kind of thing?"

It was really speechless, and Ginjo Sousuke couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh at me, Sosuke. I'm really worried. I'm afraid that if Sosuke thinks, 'Is this woman old enough to have back pain?' What should I do?"

"Is that why Kana went through the trouble of putting tape on her back by herself?"

"Well, that's it."

Kana Kobayakawa nodded slightly. Perhaps this is the face and self-esteem of women. Sometimes they care about a lot of things inexplicably.

"You think too much. Isn't it common to put a bandage on a muscle strain?"

"But...but..."

"And there are actually quite a lot of people who injure their waists at a young age. For example, many of the girls in our water polo club have tape on their waists. Aren't they only 20 years old?"

"Huh? Is that really going to happen?"

"Of course, there is always a risk of injury no matter what sport you do. It really has nothing to do with age."

"In short, Kana thinks too much, and you can rely on me a little more."

Ginjo Sousuke emphasized his tone especially, as if he wanted her to remember it clearly.

"Because I'm your girlfriend, and I hope I can be the most reliable person when my girlfriend encounters difficulties."

"Uh-huh, sorry, Sousuke."

Kana Kobayakawa smiled with a hint of self-mockery.

"It seems that I really care too much about face. It would have been better if I had relied more on Sousuke from the beginning."

"That's right, Mrs. Yuriko asked me to take good care of Kana. I can't report this to her."

Ginjo still remembered how Yuriko Kobayakawa leaned over him in the kitchen in Hokkaido. Since he had accepted her kindness so deeply, he should not let her down.

"I understand. I will pay attention next time this happens."

Kobayakawa Kana said this as she stood up carefully.

Her upper body did not lean forward at all, as if she stood up only with the strength of her arms and knees, which is also a characteristic movement of people with low back pain.

"It was hard just to walk yesterday, but I'm almost back to normal now."

"As long as I don't lean forward, it's surprisingly fine. And I still have to go to work tomorrow. After all, it's not so serious that I can't get out of bed."

Instead of considering when the injury will get better, people first think about whether it will affect their work. Is this the fixed mindset of people in society?
