So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

"..."

"She has charming short hair like silk, beautiful eyes like black jewels, a lovely voice like a siren, and...a gentle personality like Yamato Nadeko. It is really a blessing to meet her like this. It’s the blessings I’ve cultivated in my lifetime.”

"..."

Under the veil of night, the young man with a happy smile unknowingly began to talk quietly like this.

The audience around him just listened quietly.

Chapter 220 Five Mountain God's Test ([-])

only...

As he was talking, an indescribable sense of drowsiness suddenly surged in Mizutaka's chest.

His eyelids suddenly became heavy, and his head began to feel dizzy.

In order to endure this sudden feeling of exhaustion, he could only stop talking and take deep breaths with all his strength, trying to relieve the symptoms.

But...

His efforts were in vain.

Soon, he leaned against the tree trunk behind him feebly, and fell into a deep sleep.

After he fell asleep, the rabbit that had been obediently lying beside him suddenly stood up and stretched leisurely.

Then, it took a step forward, gracefully pacing around the boy with his eyes closed, like a patrol.

after that...

She unceremoniously jumped onto his lap, found a comfortable position on it, lay down, and followed him into dreamland.

The same scene happened at the other end of the forest.

Kato Megumi, who hung up the phone call with the innkeeper, suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, supported the tree trunk beside him, and squatted down bit by bit.

After a while, she leaned sideways on the tree trunk because of the uncontrollable drowsiness, and quickly fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, the rabbit with the four-leaf clover in its mouth stopped running immediately, returned to her side and lay down on the ground in two or three steps, gradually becoming silent.

And just when the two lovers fell into a deep sleep together...

The passage of time gradually slowed down.

The dream also gradually grew up.

......

The boy who couldn't remember his name was a melon farmer's child.

Since he was a child, his favorite thing to do was to run to his melon field on a certain day in summer after getting his father's approval, pick a watermelon, and use the blunt knife handle that his father gave him. It cuts open, eats the delicious and juicy pulp inside, and dissolves the intense heat.

For him, eating such a watermelon can last a year of starvation.

It is also because of this that he is extremely precious to this watermelon that belongs to him.

He also pretended to set the day when he could eat watermelon as "Melon Enjoyment Day" and regarded it as more important than his own birthday.

Since the beginning of this year, he has been holding his fingers, resisting the severe cold with the thin clothes handed down from his family, and enduring the hunger with the will that he has endured since childhood, counting the arrival of that day.

He was looking forward, looking forward, finally looking forward to the new summer, that important day.

After the wrinkled father smiled and nodded, he ran to his melon field with all his strength, ready to pick a good guy to eat.

only...

Compared with the past, today's melon fields seem to be... different.

because...

A young girl wearing a kimono made of a very expensive fabric is lying on her stomach among the green fruits, panting in pain.

what's going on?

The boy froze for a while.

But soon, he squatted in front of her and asked softly about her condition.

However...

"Water..." she just murmured like this.

water?

The young man was stunned.

Do you want water?But...

There is no water around here.

Because of a trance that seemed to be in a dream, the anxious teenager did not think of a reasonable plan to go home to fetch water.

Seeing the girl's tormented appearance, the kind-hearted him also felt sad.

She's so thirsty... she must be very uncomfortable if she doesn't have water to drink, right?

It would be as painful as... being hungry.
