So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

because...

The original author of the novel, Mr. Nakamura, who was criticized by the other party, has not said a word until now, but is just bearing everything in silence.

It is a wonderful instinct of strangers to support kind and vulnerable groups.

As a result, the balance in the minds of the silent majority of people who were watching this incident in secret began to gradually shift towards Mr. Nakamura's side.

But the silent majority often also has a strong inertia.

It's only when they're motivated in some way that they...actually take action and express their opinion.

Therefore, it seems that Rie Asakawa in "Today, You Are My Light" is still at an absolute disadvantage in this struggle.

But...the turning point is coming.

......

In a certain tea room of Sakura House.

"Hui..." Seeing the girl next to her turn off her mobile phone for an incoming call without looking at it again, Mizutaka, who had been secretly observing her mobile phone screen, finally couldn't help but uttered, "Who is that... call?"

"It's a harassing phone call." Kato Megumi explained to her boyfriend.

"Oh..." The young man who didn't notice it on the surface, but just agreed, but secretly kept an eye on it.

then...

When Kato Megumi was called by Hina Mori to whisper, Mizutaka, who had been playing shogi with Ryo Anzai, suddenly showed a serious expression.

"Xiao Liang..." He called in a serious tone to the little boy opposite, who was already able to kill him on the chessboard.

"What's the matter, Mizu-chan?"

"There's something I want to ask you for a favor, can I?"

"No problem..." The skinny boy agreed without thinking.

Mizugo, who has always tried his best to help him collect replays and analysis of various shogi games, begged him once in a while. Of course, he will do his best to help.

"Then, when the time comes, please Xiaoliang, please do this..."

"Oh..."

So, after a while...

"Oh... I forgot that at this time of the game, the red side's move has changed..." An Xiliang, who was replaying the game with Mizunzuo, slapped his head.

"It's okay, there's a video on the phone..." Mizutaku said so and unlocked the phone's lock screen.

However...

"Oops, it seems that the battery is out..." He scratched his head in embarrassment while saying so.

"Ah? Then what should I do..." An Xiliang suddenly showed a somewhat confused look.

at this time...

"Use mine." Keiji Kato on the side brought his mobile phone, "Is it the video on station n?"

"En! Thank you Kato-sister!" After politely thanking, An Xiliang put the phone on the table next to the chessboard, carefully swiped the screen, and entered the app of station n.

Kato Megumi just smiled and looked at the little boy who was addicted to chess.

Just after An Xiliang studied the video for a while...

"Kato..." Grandma Juzi's voice sounded outside the door, "Can I ask you something?"

"Ah, what's the matter, mother-in-law?" Kato Megumi stood up quickly and opened the door.

The old man outside the door showed a kind and gentle smile.

"Xiao Liang suddenly proposed to eat salmon rice bowl. I thought about it, and it's true that I haven't changed the recipe for a long time, so I wanted to make a meal for everyone. But my hand is a little bit inaccurate. ..”

"Ah, let me do it..." The girl who understood what the old man meant quickly took over the conversation.

"Thank you, Kato..."

"Mother-in-law can't be polite to me~" Saying so, Kato Megumi supported the old man and walked towards the kitchen.

After she left...

Mizunzuo, who had been silently facing the statue, suddenly exchanged a glance with An Xiliang who was opposite him.

They nodded to each other tacitly.

Then...

The little boy handed the mobile phone to the other party without hesitation.

The boy quickly took it and opened the address book on the phone.

Who said honest teenagers don't understand routines?

When jealous, everyone is the same.
