So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

seems to be...

Say her name.

But...

After thinking for a long time in distress, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.

Is... Can't remember?

The girl guessed like this.

...Right.

I have never seen him.

Even if he happened to meet himself, he shouldn't know his name.

Her thinking should be correct.

because...

After thinking about it for a long time, the boy in front of him finally lowered his head in frustration.

"This... Miss, the total is 1560 yen, thank you for your patronage." He said softly like this.

"Okay." As if to give him some encouragement and comfort, the girl subconsciously made her voice as gentle as possible.Then...she counted the money and handed it over.

After skilfully completing the change, the teenager put the money in a strangely constructed cardboard on the cash register, and... pushed it over.

It looks like a very thoughtful invention that allows people to pick up change gracefully.

"Thank you." The girl who picked up the change thanked him softly.

After that, she turned around and left the 24-hour convenience store.

He's... really special.

While waiting for the glass door to open, such a thought flashed through her mind.

Then, she took a light step and walked outside the store.

someone special...

...

!

At this moment, the short-haired girl who was about to move forward suddenly stopped.

This is because...

At this very moment, a surge of...emotions called familiarity and nostalgia welled up in her heart.

How... do you feel like this?

It's obviously someone I don't know, and it's obviously...the first meeting in my impression.

But...

Her feet seemed to be nailed in place, and she couldn't move at all.

A crazy voice suddenly appeared in her mind, as if pulling a boulder that was about to roll off a cliff, screaming like a cart, wanting her to turn around and re-enter the store.

Why is this?

And just when she was thinking about such a question...

"Ding dong..."

Suddenly the bell heralding the opening of the automatic glass doors rang.

She turned around suspiciously.

next moment...

Then she saw the boy running out, the boy just now.

He was holding the cardboard that had been crushed by him in his hand.

After seeing his face clearly again, the girl froze for a moment.

Suddenly, she couldn't restrain herself and took a step forward.

At the same time, the boy opposite her also made the same movement as her.

So, naturally speaking...

The distance between them is constantly being shortened.

Finally, after stopping only a few tens of centimeters away from him, the girl raised her head and stared at the inexplicably familiar face.

A name that was about to be pronounced flashed by again and again.

but...

Can't catch it.

Her eyes were hollow with overthinking.
