Chapter 37: Birthday
"Long time no see. Aoba greeted him with a toast.
"Yo, little brother, long time no see. Saburo Oi also greeted.
"Long time no see. Kobayashi Masatomo replied to the two separately.
And at this time, everyone saw that he was still carrying a small cake in his hand.
"Boss, do you have matches here?" asked Mr. Ono as he sat down at the counter.
"Yes, wait a minute. With that, the manager turned around and quickly took out a box of matches and handed it to the young man.
"Thank you. Kobayashi took the match and thanked him, then unwrapped the small cake that was only the size of a palm, and inserted thin candles into the cake.
Maybe it was because he saw the curious eyes of the people next to him, and he took the initiative to explain, "Actually, today is my birthday, because I came to Tokyo alone to work hard, and I didn't have any family and friends around to celebrate my birthday with, so I didn't plan to spend it, but when I passed by the cake shop just now, I really wanted to blow out the candles on my birthday anyway! So I bought myself a small cake." ”
As he spoke, Masachi Kobayashi had already inserted the candles and lit them one by one with matches, looking at the dancing flames, Store Manager Ono took the initiative to turn off the lights in the store.
All of a sudden, the whole room was plunged into darkness, and only the faint candles were still lit.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Aoba was the first to sing.
Immediately afterwards, the two girls, as well as Saburo Oi and Manager Ono, also sang together.
"Thank you, thank you. Kobayashi Masachi said as he took a deep breath and blew out the candle in one gulp.
The crowd applauded.
Manager Ono turned on the lights, and the store was bright again, and at the same time, Manager Ono put a pot of plum wine in front of Masachi Kobayashi, "Please, happy birthday." ”
"Thank you!" Kobayashi Masatochi looked at the plum wine, then at the store manager Kobayashi, and smiled.
"Ah, and mine. The short girl, who was clapping at the side, suddenly remembered something, rummaged through her bag, and soon she took out a small box the size of a fist from her bag.
The short girl handed the small box to Kobayashi Masachi and said, "This is the prize I just got when I sang with my seniors at kTV.,It's not a valuable thing.,If you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you.,Happy birthday!"
"Ah, thank you. After Kobayashi Masachi was stunned for a moment, he quickly took it with both hands, and then glanced at the short girl, and under the encouraging eyes of the short girl, he opened the small box, and a crisp music came from the box, which was the famous sky city.
It turned out to be a small music box.
"I really didn't expect that I would receive a birthday present, thank you so much, I will cherish it. Kobayashi Masachi raised his head and looked at the short girl, and said with a firm look in his eyes.
The short girl was a little embarrassed by Kobayashi Masatomo, her face was slightly red, but she still smiled happily.
The crowd applauded playfully.
"Boss, can you please help divide the cake into five portions? Masatoshi Kobayashi said to Mr. Ono.
"No problem. Mr. Ono smiled and took away the small cake, which was not very large, and then carefully divided it into five portions, and decorated each one with some fresh fruit.
In the end, he gave the five cakes to the five people present, including himself, one for each person.
"Thank you. Everyone thanked each other.
Then I tasted this special cake.
"Ah, it's twelve o'clock in five minutes. The little girl noticed the time on the old clock next to her.
"yes, in five minutes, my birthday is over, but I'm having a great day, thank you. Kobayashi Masatochi said to everyone, and finally even took a deep look at the short girl.
So the short girl's face turned red again.
In Onotei, a special birthday was celebrated for Masachi Kobayashi, and the happy time passed with everyone's laughter.
The hands on the old clock had passed past twelve o'clock, and the eldest and youngest girls had eaten the small portion of the cake, and then had finished the pork soup and small bowl of rice they had ordered, and then prepared to take their leave.
"There's still work tomorrow, so we'll leave first!" said the eldest girl to everyone who had just met but quickly became acquainted.
"Work hard, come on!" Aoba gestured to the two of them.
"Thank you. The two said.
"Well, will you come back in the future?" asked Kobayashi Masatochi, and when he asked, his eyes kept looking at the short girl.
"Such a great store, of course we will come!" said the short girl with a smile, at this time she was no longer a little nervous when she first entered the store, obviously belonging to the type, very silent in front of outsiders, very good at talking in front of acquaintances. Now that I'm familiar with everyone, there's no tension.
"Well, I must come!" said Kobayashi Masatomo, looking at the short girl.
"Ah, by the way, isn't there some kind of murderer lately? You two girls, it's going to be unsafe!" Aoba suddenly interjected.
The faces of the eldest sister and the short girl changed at the same time, and in the end, it was the eldest sister who was the first to squeeze out a smile and said, "This, we will be careful." ”
"It's better to do this, Kobayashi-san, how about you send them back? You should have time, right?" said Aoba with a wink at Kobayashi Masatomo.
"I, of course, I have time, I'll send you!" Kobayashi Masatochi reacted at once and said immediately.
"Hey, but won't this be too much trouble for you?" said the eldest girl with a strange face.
"yes, yes, it's too much trouble for you. The more timid short girl was obviously moved, but she was still a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, what's the trouble! You just gave me a birthday present! Kobayashi Masatochi immediately stood up and said.
The eldest sister wanted to refuse, but when she saw the short girl's frightened expression, she hesitated.
"Well, I'm sorry for you!" In the end, the two girls agreed to Kobayashi Masachi to send them back.
In this way, Kobayashi Masatochi escorted the two girls away with an excited face.
"I can only help you get here, and the rest is up to you. Aoba looked at the three people who left, raised his glass to the place where Kobayashi Masachi had just sat and said.
"Uesugi, well done. Store manager Ono said with a smile on his face and a thumbs up to Aoba.
"It's nice to be young!" Saburo Oi exclaimed, shaking his head.
"Another beer. Aoba smiled and said to Store Manager Ono.
