So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

Busy and fulfilling, but also a little lonely.

because...

He felt that he hadn't seen the girl named Megumi Kato for a long time.

How long... Mizutaku couldn't tell.

In the morning, I always stepped on the bell and walked into the school gate, so naturally I didn't have the chance to meet her.

The hourly wage is the highest on weekends, and I spend the whole day in the izakaya, and there is no way to play baseball with her.

Mizinzhuo could feel that the distance between himself and her that he had finally drawn in was gradually drifting away.

I'm a little sad...but there's no way.

"Brother Mijin...don't you have time this Saturday?" After school on Friday, Xiaoqi sent a text message through Grandma Juzi's cell phone.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, Xiaoqi, let's play with everyone when I have time later."

"That's it... okay." The little girl seemed very regretful.

As if feeling the disappointment, Mizutaka's hands trembled.But in the end, he put the phone away and put it in his pocket.

......

It's almost time for the busiest time for izakaya, but it's not yet.

Mizutaku leaned against the door of the kitchen, observing if there was anything in the store that needed help.

At this moment, a shy-looking little old man walked in from the door.

This is also a regular customer of the izakaya.

He always picks this time to come, and he only orders a small bottle of beer, and basically doesn't order other dishes.

Mizutaka went up to meet him.

"Ah, little brother, it's still the same." The little old man smiled shyly, his voice was very gentle.

"Okay." Mizutaka wrote the menu skillfully, and went to the counter to get the wine.

At first, this little old man who didn't order food aroused everyone's strong curiosity.After the boss finally couldn't bear to go up to talk to him and ask, everyone understood the whole story.

It turned out that the reason why he didn't order food was not because he didn't want to eat, but because he saw that the shop was always busy and everyone was too busy to take their hands off.If he ordered food, the store would be even busier, and he would feel a little sorry.

Therefore, every time, he just picks a relatively free time to come over, order a draft beer, find a corner to drink quietly, and finally go home slowly.

The clerks all liked this old man who was over half a century old.So every time he came, everyone tried their best to take time to get him a good drink before doing other things.

"Okay, okay, thank you, go get busy, brother." After receiving the beer, the little old man smiled kindly, and ran to sit in the corner by himself.

"Yonezu boy! Come to work!" Such a voice came from the kitchen.

"Here we come!" So, Mizutaka devoted himself to his work again.

By the time he freed his hands from the ocean of plates, it was already nine o'clock.

He rinsed the dish soap off his hands and was about to go outside to see if there was anything he could do to help.

"Hey, Yonezu, are you done? Two guests just came to table 7, please help me write down the dishes, thank you." A female employee who ran in to deliver the menu gave him a new task.

"Okay." Taking the cutting board, Mizutaku ran out.

There were a total of six visitors, a combination of six people from two families.

The family that goes forward is a parent and son, and the other family that follows seems to be a parent and a daughter.It should be two families with a good relationship.

"Welcome, what would you like to order..." Mizutaka who spoke the usual greeting suddenly fell silent.

Because...at the end of the line, a familiar girl was also looking at him with wide eyes.

"Ah... Let me look at the menu. Keiichi, Xiaohui, do you have anything you want to eat?" The father of the man's family found a six-person table and sat down, flipping through the menu on the table.

"I don't care." The young man who looked older sat down with his father.

"Then, Megumi, why don't you sit with Keiichi... Megumi?" The woman who seemed to be Kato's mother called out again when her daughter didn't respond.

"Ah! Oh..." Megumi Kato reacted and hesitated, but finally sat beside the young man.After sitting down, she raised her head immediately, only to find that the boy who was about to record food for them had lowered his staff hat deeply to cover his eyes, lowered his head to hide his expression, and stared at the recorder in his hand. The cutting board waited silently.

The girl frowned slightly.Looking at the silent figure, she seemed to want to say something, but...

"Ah, just this tempura, and this sushi..." Keiichi's father had already started ordering.

The boy didn't speak, but lowered his head even more, and silently began to remember.

"Okay, then... that's all. What else do you want?" The middle-aged man looked up and looked around after ordering.

"Should be enough."

None of the other members commented.

"Okay, then...boy, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Just to make sure, what you ordered is..." the boy finally spoke.

He repeated the name of the dish to everyone, and after getting a confirmed answer, he nodded and left quickly without giving the others time to talk.

Like... running away.
