Chapter Fifty-Six: Chiwa Hoko

"Waiter, another Black Forest!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Today is a day off, and it should be a day to relax and rest, but I am working at "Joy Desserts". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

To be honest, I don't really like the type of work, but I still come every day off!

Why?

"One share of the Black Forest!"

That's because......

"Hi Woo ~ This is your Black Forest! Please slow down, little sister! ”

"Thank you, waiter!"

"No, it's work!"

That's because......

"Really? But Sister Otomeng said, 'Nothing in this world is taken for granted,' so she said, thank you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's rude! ”

"That's because ......"

"Welcome! What do you want to do? ”

"I'm waiting for someone, just bring me a glass of water! I'll wait for the person I'm waiting for when they arrive! ”

"Okay, please ...... over here Please wait a minute......"

"It's become a habit!"

"Waiter, strawberry sundae!"

"Okay, here we go!"

"Say ...... again"

"Narumi-kun, two milkshakes, plus two servings of tiramisu."

"There's nothing else I can do other than that......"

"It's a little too sweet, Suiko!"

"It's not too sweet! It's just right for Hoko and Reiko. Oh yes! Let me introduce you! ”

Chiwa Hoko, a sophomore at Bailing High School, returned to the house. She has long blue hair and looks like a very quiet girl. With a moderate face and eyes that are not big or small, it looks ordinary but quite cute. She has a cheerful and lively personality, and is a strong and confident girl.

"This is my good friend Reiko Mizuno, a sophomore at Bailing High School like me, but in a different class!"

"Hello, Mizuno-san!"

"Reiko!"

"Huh?"

"Same as Suiko, just call me Reiko!"

"Reiko doesn't like to be called by her last name, so ...... Narumi-kun, don't have strange ideas! ”

"Really...... So, do it all over again! First meeting, Reiko-san! I'm Takayuki Narumi, a second-year student of the Department of Philosophy of Bailing University, and my department is the Animation and Game Club, and my interest is ......."

"What are you doing? Bugger! Talking to beautiful women at work, your courage is really not small! Do you know what time it is, hurry up and get me to work! ”

At half past six in the afternoon, it is time for office workers to come home from work and some idlers to go out for a walk, that is to say: the evening rush hour - although I want to say this, but in fact it is not.

I glanced at the situation in the store, and by the time I was talking to Suiko, the store was already halfway seated. I'm deserting, and the Great Empty Temple is by my side, and now all the work in the store is on Mayu's body...... Looking at Hoko and Reiko, I smiled apologetically, "I'm going back to work!" Suiko, Reiko-san, let's talk when we have a chance! Well, it's rude! ”

Reiko Mizuno, it's been seven years ago, but I still remember it! We've met once before that. Mizuno and Nako...... Yes, she was the lover that my so-called father brought home seven years ago, and Reiko Mizuno was the older sister of the two children who were brought home at the same time.

It's been seven years, she must have forgotten!

When I got home from work, I sat down at my computer desk and turned on the computer I had bought with the money I had earned from my part-time job. Hold the mouse and shake it on the desktop.

"Alas......"

Eventually, I didn't do anything and shut down the computer I had just started.

I want to do something, but I don't know what to do. Want to do it but don't want to do it...... Because......

Even if it didβ€”"Is this the end?" ”。

Lying in bed, thinking about the trivial things that happened during the day, I fell asleep before I knew it.

In the morning, I arrived at the shop where I worked early.

"Morning, Narumi!" "Morning!"

On every day off, Takanoto comes early, but in the morning there is usually no one there. Therefore, there is no need for manpower. At noon, sometimes there are a lot of people coming, and sometimes it is even full, but the time to get really busy is after 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's early today, too, Narumi-kun!"

"It's alright! After all, it's work, so you can't be late! ”

"Narumi-kun is really serious enough! Ah, thank you! ”

Suiko is a regular customer of the store, and we met six months ago when I came to work at the store on my first day. It was a day off, so I arrived early to give the manager and the other staff a good image. And Suiko was my first guest that day.

"Welcome, what would you like to come?"

I greeted her with a smile, half because I was really happy, and the other half was pretending.

"Black tea!"

She looked preoccupied that day, and ignored my hospitality. But......

"You seem to be bothered by something, guest!"

It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and almost the whole morning was just Suiko. Because there was enough to spare, the kind store manager told me that I could take a break at will. So I came to Reiko and sat down across from her.

"No, nothing! It's just a little tired and looking for a quiet place to rest. ”

"If so, can you tell me?"

"Mr. waiter, you are really idle enough!"

Hearing Suiko's words, I couldn't help but show a chuckle: "Don't you want to?" Then forget it! Well, it's rude......"

I stood up and was about to leave, but she stopped me and said, "Please wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

"Trouble for another ......"

"Really, please wait a minute!"

"Hey, please slow down!"

After putting the black tea down, I thought I was ready to leave, but ......

"Please, big brother waiter!"

But he was stopped by Suizi again.

"What's wrong?"

The same words, the same scene, happened again at this small table.

"Can you sit down and talk to me for a while?"

……

Hearing Suiko's words, Takayuki let out a chuckle that was not quite the same as before. Shaking his head, Takayuki tapped his fingers on the table, hesitated for a moment, and sat down across from Suiko.

-- It's just a fantasy.

"I'm sorry, but I still have a job...... Then, please enjoy it slowly! ”

-- is the real reality.

There is only one opportunity, and there is only one moment; No regrets, no turning back -- this is the life promise of filial piety. What's more, Xiaozhi, who doesn't like to talk to people, rarely took the initiative to talk to help, but was ridiculed by the other party, and the object of ridicule was still a girl who was very good at dressing up......

Then it's even more impossible!

Since Haruka was sent to the hospital and Kazama Otomu disappeared, Takayuki has never paid attention to any of the opposite sex. Whether it's Haruka's mother or Xiaoqian, Xiaozhidu is just passively catering to the minimum of communication. Even Shui Yue, he hadn't seen her properly for nearly three years.

For filial piety, contact with the opposite sex is extremely stupid and meaningless. Just an ordinary acquaintance can lead to unnecessary trouble, inexplicable likes, sudden confessions, irrefutable tenderness, contradictions, conflicts - unfortunate results.

And...... He's decided to live alone!

And now, he is still waiting, waiting for Haruka to wake up, waiting for Haruka to recover, and then ...... Say goodbye to her......

As a result, Suiko left at the end of that day and never said a word to Takayuki. She went back with tears in her eyes, she felt wronged. It's just because of a gaffe that it has been misinterpreted and rejected. She was unwilling, she couldn't accept it, so ......

"Two cups of black tea, please!"

Early the next morning, Suiko came to a warm dessert again. Just like yesterday, Hoko once again became Takayuki's first guest, but yesterday's events, Takanoto Capital has forgotten. He received Suizi as if he were a first-time guest, brewed two cups of black tea with his own hands, and delivered them to the place where Suiko was sitting, which was the place where the contradictions and conflicts occurred yesterday.

"Please sit down!"

Takayuki had just put down the black tea, and before he could say, "Please use it slowly", she was grabbed by Suiko by grabbing the cuffs of her work clothes and asked to sit down opposite her.

"I'm sorry, I still have work to do, it's rude......"

"What's the matter? Isn't there no one else in the store right now? ”

Takayuki wanted Suiko to let go of his sleeves and leave; But I didn't expect Suizi to be unrelenting, and there was no intention of being obedient at all. Suiko's almost vexatious approach made Takayuki feel impatient, and at the same time, anger gradually rose in his heart. He's a little angry! When he glanced back at the store, he found that the other employees in the store were secretly peeking at him while they were busy!

Whatever the reason, the option of getting angry at the guests served is never advisable. But it's impossible for Takayuki to stay here with Suiko to continue making trouble, so he looked at Suiko and smiled a slightly apologetic, troubled smile: "I'm sorry, although the store looks very quiet now, I still have a lot of preparation work to do, so ...... If you can, can you wait until it's time for me to take a break from the shift? ”

Takayuki's play was very good, and the naΓ―ve Hoko believed him like that. So that day, they never spoke again!

……

"Speaking of which, does Narumi-kun remember when we first met?"

"No, it's been half a year ago, and I've almost forgotten it! (Of course, it's all a lie.) )”

With a cup of black coffee, Takayuki sat down opposite Suizi. Such a situation has become a habit for both Takayuki and Suizi, and it is a part of life.

"Really...... Narumi-kun doesn't remember anymore......"

Hoko shifted her gaze to the window, looking at the passers-by in a trance, as if she was caught in a reminiscence.

"Speaking of which, I remember that Narumi-kun said before: I have a girlfriend!"
