Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

The interior of the store is decorated in a traditional yet modern style, with wooden tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner, and hand-painted posters introducing the history and methods of Okonomiyaki hanging on the walls.

In addition, there are several warm paintings depicting the night view of Tokyo, creating a comfortable and cozy family atmosphere.

They arrived during the evening dining peak, so the restaurant was almost full.

Diners sit around a small charcoal stove, each enjoying the pleasure of making their own unique okonomiyaki.

There were families with children, and the parents patiently instructed their children how to evenly spread the sauce on the dough and sprinkle with green onions, seaweed crumbs and delicious bacon slices.

Young student lovers shared one portion, occasionally smiling at each other and feeding each other sweetly.

Of course, there are also customers who come alone. While they are grilling the ingredients, they will occasionally look up and observe their surroundings, as if they have found a moment of comfort in the hot food.

On the charcoal stove, on the round iron plates, various ingredients and condiments sizzle under the high temperature, exuding an enticing aroma.

The chefs shuttle between the tables, providing assistance to customers from time to time, or recommending seasonal special ingredients, making each okonomiyaki full of seasonal flavors.

The background music in the restaurant is soft and cheerful, and occasionally you can hear the sound of trams running in the distance outside the window and the conversations of pedestrians.

On a night like this, there is nothing better than a lively little restaurant for students to gather and celebrate.

The girls who were going to attend the celebration party arrived one after another. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lisa Shiraishi, the president of the water polo club, raised her drink in one hand and stood in front of everyone.

“Although we encountered many problems and troubles, our booth still performed very well at this school anniversary!”

"We also won the grand prize in the sales category at the final commendation ceremony, so it can be said that the result was quite successful."

"Yeah, Shiraishi-senpai's confession was also very successful~"

"Oh, come on, don't joke with me at this time!"

A joke from one of the girls made everyone sitting around burst into laughter.

Ginjo also laughed a few times, and when he saw Shiraishi Lisa's blushing face, he felt that she was quite pitiful.

He could more or less understand why those girls would make a fuss at this time. The two parties involved in the confession incident were now in this small room, which was certainly a good opportunity to heat up the atmosphere.

How could they miss the opportunity to gossip?

By the way, Ginjo didn't feel happy for long before he had to face the gazes that were cast towards him.

"All in all, I really want to thank everyone for their hard work during the school festival, and for the selfless help that came to the stall spontaneously after I fainted."

"Let's celebrate our achievements today and reward ourselves for our hard work. Enjoy it to the fullest. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Ginjo Sousuke and all the girls present raised their glasses and clinked them together.

After the water polo club won the county championship, there was also such a celebratory banquet.

But the feeling this time was obviously different from that time. Everyone seemed more comfortable and relaxed, as if everyone had completely integrated into the group.

"Sousuke, why do I feel like I've never seen you so happy as you are today?"

"Hmm? It's okay. Of course I'll be happy in this kind of occasion."

Chie Hoshino seized the opportunity and grabbed a seat next to Ginjō, and asked him this while clinking glasses.

This woman seemed to have become very sharp today, and her focus had shifted from the delicious food to Yincheng, which surprised him very much.

Given Ginjo's personality, he wouldn't get too excited even at any banquet.

But how to say it.

It was a little hard to explain, but he now had an incredible sense of unity, as if he had truly become a member of this community and came here.

"Gincheng-san, thank you so much for this school anniversary!"

Just as he was immersed in his feelings, Kurizono Yua, who was sitting across the table, leaned forward and said this to him.

Before the preparations for this school anniversary, they were clubmates who were quite familiar with each other, but their relationship was definitely not very close.

"Hmm? What are you thanking me for, Kurizono-san?"

"Of course it's because you took on a lot of work for President Shiraishi, such as the chores of the student union, as well as the decoration and reception work of the cafe."

"If Yin Cheng hadn't joined us, our cafe wouldn't have been so successful this time."

"Besides that, there is..."

Yua Kurizono swallowed her last words of thanks halfway through, and no one knew what she was thinking of.

A barely perceptible shy smile appeared on her face, and a slight blush appeared where her cheek and ear met.

"That's what you're talking about. It's nothing. It's just my duty as a member."

"But when it comes to the success of the cafe, the most important thing is the outfits of you beauties. You know, the cosplay uniforms that you don't usually see are super popular."

Yincheng raised the cup in his hand and reached it over to clink glasses with hers.

"Ginjo-san is really humble. You know, everyone in the water polo club, including President Shiraishi, actually relies on you."

Yua Kurizono was very surprised when Ginjō took the initiative to clink glasses with her, and she drank the beer in the glass in one gulp.

"Senior Li Yuan, be careful that Senior Ginjo may take advantage of today's excitement to do something bad to you~"

The first-year student Midorikawa also came over for no apparent reason, stuck close to Kurizono, and glanced at Ginjō from time to time with a wary look.

She definitely hasn't told Lisa Shiraishi about meeting Ginjo with other girls at the bar, because Lisa Shiraishi didn't ask him about it all day.

Was it because he hadn't found the right opportunity? Or was he completely convinced by the theory that Ginjo casually said?

All in all, Yincheng always felt that she would make something of this matter.

"No, Ginjō-san is not that kind of person."

Yua Kurizono shook her head decisively, as if she was convinced that Ginjō was not as Midorikawa described.

"Really? Forget it, Shiraishi-senpai and the other members are having a toast over there, so let's go over there."

Midorikawa secretly curled his lips in the direction of Ginjō, then pulled Kurizono towards the group of girls gathered on the other side.

"The atmosphere in your club is really great. Everyone gets along so well."

Chiaki Hoshino, who had been silent all this time, quietly came to Ginjo's side when he wasn't noticing.

"Sousuke has been busy drinking and hasn't eaten much. Can I make you some okonomiyaki?"

Chiaki Hoshino tugged at Ginjō's sleeve and pointed at the ingredients for making okonomiyaki in the bowl.

The okonomiyaki in this shop is made by hand, and at this moment the girls who had just clinked glasses once again started to make it noisily.

"When it comes to cooking, it's faster to show off your skills, and people probably won't mind having someone help them do it."

"Indeed it is."

As Chiaki Hoshino said, this is a good opportunity for her to show off her cooking skills.

She took the bowl from Ginjo's hand and stirred it with a large spoon.

Try to bring in as much air as possible when stirring; this is the secret to making the dough fluffy and soft.

Then she spread it out on the oiled iron plate in front of her, about two centimeters thick, while trimming the shape.

After grilling for a few minutes, add the rest of the pork.

"Flip them over at the end and you're done."

Chiaki Hoshino carefully turned the pancake over with a spatula, revealing the slightly burnt back side.

Mmm, she did it perfectly.

Although the taste will not change much if it disperses, it will look better if it maintains this complete shape.

"Wow~"

"Ms. Hoshino is so amazing~"

Just as Chiaki Hoshino was immersed in the satisfaction of making delicious food, there were sudden bursts of exclamations from all around.

A group of people gathered around her and were watching her make okonomiyaki.

"Oh my, you did a great job, you are so skilled~"

"Ms. Hoshino, you are amazing. I have never been able to make such a complete shape."

Kurizono, who was closest to her, expressed this thought, and Midorikawa, who came over halfway through, said excitedly.

This okonomiyaki is relatively easy to make. Chiaki Hoshino has made it several times before, so she is very confident in her skills.

It feels really good to be praised by so many people all of a sudden.

"Qianqiu, do some cooking for Qianhui's table as well. She's doing a terrible job."

"Sousuke, shut up! It won't get any better if you do it yourself!"

Ginjo and Hoshino Chie started arguing as usual, while the girls around them kept asking Hoshino Chiaki to help them make okonomiyaki.

Just when the situation was getting out of control, someone clapped their hands.

"If Miss Hoshino makes everything, she won't be able to eat it herself. We've just seen how it's done, so why don't you try to imitate her~"

A word from the president, Lisa Shiraishi, calmed everyone down.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry, Ms. Hoshino."

"Don't worry about it. I'm glad you asked me for it. I'll do it for you next time I have the chance."

"Okay, thank you Miss Hoshino~"

After Lisa Shiraishi left, the other girls returned to their seats.

Chiaki Hoshino clasped her hands together and thanked Lisa Shiraishi for her help, but Lisa Shiraishi waved her hands as if to tell her not to worry.

Both of them are rare good women. It seems that Sosuke Ginjo is really lucky.

"Qianqiu is just one person, I can't do it for everyone, there's really no other way."

"Since there's no other way, let me have it all to myself today, okay?"

Ginjo whispered into her ear and Chiaki Hoshino smiled shyly.

"Of course you can. Leave it to me, whatever kind of okonomiyaki Sousuke wants to eat."

Chiaki Hoshino answered softly and blinked cutely.

To be honest, girls who are good at cooking are really cute.
