Am I The Only Male Tenant Here? Chapter 20 20: Aftermath

The room was quiet for a while, the only sounds were the soft rustle of sheets and the whisper of our mingled breaths.

Tomoko lay curled against , her head on my chest, fingers lazily tracing circles across my skin.

I turned to lay at her and I noticed sothing. There was a glow to her now.

I let my hand move gently up and down her bare back, tracing the delicate curve of her spine.

Neither of us spoke for a while but eventually, she broke the silence as she whispered, "... Did I scare you when I said that I love you?"

I sighed. I could hear the vulnerability in her voice. I turned my head and kissed her temple.

"No," I murmured, "You surprised ... in the best way."

"Good," Tomoko replied and before I could respond, she continued, "... And you don't have to say anything back. I am not forcing you. When you truly feel sothing, then... you can say it to ."

I sighed again.

"Co here," I said, pulling her to lie on my chest again. I rubbed her back, my breath tousling her hair.

"Sleep now. I think you're a little tired after earlier," I told her.

"Yes," Tomoko replied and then suddenly, as if rembering sothing, she said, "You... um... Sosuke, I am sorry but you have to go back to your room. We can't risk sobody finding about us. You know what people will think and talk.."

I sighed for the third ti.

An hour later, I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my room, freshly showered.

I felt different.

Lighter. Taller. Stronger.

More like a man.

I opened the system panel.

[Target: Matsumoto Tomoko — Favorability 10]

[System Reward: ¥10,000]

[Current Favorability: 90]

So she's at 90 now, huh?

There's still room to climb.

I threw off my towel and collapsed into bed, a quiet satisfaction stretching through every bone in my body.

A LINE ssage buzzed on my phone.

Mochizuki Haruka:

"Ginjo-kun, thank you again for your help yesterday. If you're free this weekend… I'd love to thank you in person 💕"

Before I could even respond—

Knock knock.

Crap.

I'd totally forgotten.

Kana Kobayakawa.

I scrambled into a pair of shorts, tossed on a shirt, and sprinted toward the door.
