So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

However, the two families did not see any clues.After all, this time is the busiest time in the store, so it is normal for the clerk to be a little anxious.

The boy who left didn't see that the girl named Megumi Kato was watching his back with worried and anxious eyes.

......

Until the izakaya was completely closed, Mizutaku was silently washing the dishes in the kitchen, and had no chance to go out at all.

Or...he didn't create opportunities for himself to go out.

Really busy today.After all, it was the night before Saturday, and everyone was so busy that they couldn't take their hands off.Therefore, no one paid attention to his abnormality.

After clearing away the last stack of plates, Mizutaku, who seemed not energetic, changed into his employee uniform, bid farewell to the boss, and walked out of the izakaya.

This time is different from usual.

He didn't go back in a hurry, but took a slow walk to an alley near the izakaya.

Then, he walked into this dead-end alley somewhat dejectedly, leaned against the wall, and collapsed to the ground with no strength at all.

Finally...saw her.

In the most embarrassing and humblest manner.

Those two families... should have a good relationship.

Mizutaku recalled the titles and words he had heard.

"Keiichi, Kei..."

and also...

"Xiaohui, you can sit with Keiyi..."

He suddenly covered his heart, and even the sound of panting trembled.

Well... it hurts.

Something hot passed across his numb and stiff face.

He rubbed his eyes carelessly with the back of his hand that smelled of dish soap.

There is a feeling of suffocation blocking the mouth of the throat.

The boy continued to sit in silence, trembling.

I don't know how long it took, but he saw the time on the phone with eyes that could no longer shed tears, stood up tremblingly, and staggered back on the road alone.

Like a lonely, slow-moving bereaved dog.

Maybe... indeed no one would stop and wait for him.

pS: Look, that person looks like a dog. (laugh)

Chapter 67 But, no one will stop and wait for you ([-])

"Xiao Zhuo, are you back?"

"Ah."

The boy who returned home showed a reassuring and reliable smile.He quickly finished the supper prepared by his aunt, took the initiative to wash the dishes first, and then walked into the bathroom.

Business as usual.

After he came out, the door of my aunt's room was closed, and she seemed to have fallen asleep in peace.

After seeing all this clearly, the faked smile on his face gradually disappeared.Walking into his room expressionlessly, he sat down at the table, turned on the desk lamp, and let the dazzling incandescent light cover his field of vision.

Maybe... that's the only way his dead gray eyes could get some energy.

After the heart-piercing pain, there is an unimaginable sense of emptiness.

The exhaustion from working all day made him almost faint, but the unspeakable loneliness prevented him from falling asleep.

So, he began to think over and over again, the beautiful and warm smile of the girl wearing a baseball cap and ponytail under the sun.

How fascinating.

He stretched out his hand in a daze to grab something, but... there was nothing in the air.

Like a walking dead, he opened all his drawers one by one.

The drawers are full of all kinds of notes and books.

but...

It seemed to him that it was empty, that there was nothing there.

When he thought he had grasped something, he realized... In fact, he had nothing.

In addition to those illusory good memories.

Except for this young but clumsy body.

He lowered his head, ran his hands through his hair, and stared silently at the reflective tabletop.

I don't know how long it took, but the phone that was put aside lit up.
