"Long time no see." Aoye first raised his glass and greeted him.

"Oh, brother, long time no see." Saburo Oi also greeted.

"Long time no see." Kobayashi Masato replied to the two of them.

Only then did everyone see that he was carrying a small piece of cake in his hand.

"Boss, are there any matches here?" Kobayashi Masato sat down at the counter and asked Manager Ono.

"Yes, wait a moment." As he said that, the shop manager Ono turned around and quickly took out a box of matches and handed them to the young man.

"Thank you." Masato Kobayashi took the match and thanked him, then opened the packaging of the small cake that was only the size of a palm, and inserted the slender candles on the cake.

Perhaps seeing the curious eyes of the people next to him, he took the initiative to explain, "Actually, today is my birthday. Because I came to Tokyo alone to work hard, there are no family and friends around me who can celebrate my birthday together, so I didn't plan to celebrate it, but when I just passed by the cake shop, I still wanted to blow a candle on my birthday no matter what! So I bought myself a small cake."

As he said that, Masato Kobayashi had already put the candle in and ignited it with a match. Looking at the leaping flames, the store manager Ono took the initiative to turn off the lights in the store.

All of a sudden the whole room fell into darkness, and only a few faint candles were still lit.

"Happy birthday to you, and happy birthday to you." Aoye started singing first.

Immediately afterwards, the two girls, Saburo Oi and the shop manager Ono also started singing together.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Kobayashi Masato said, taking a deep breath and blew out the candle.

Papa, everyone applauded.

The shop manager Ono turned on the light and the store was bright again. At the same time, the shop manager Ono also placed a pot of plum wine in front of Masato Kobayashi, "Please, happy birthday."

"Thank you!" Masato Kobayashi looked at the plum wine, then looked at the manager Kobayashi, and said with a smile.

"Ah, and mine." The short-haired girl who was applauding suddenly remembered something and flipped it up in her bag. Soon she took out a small box the size of a fist from the bag.

The short-haired girl handed the small box to Masato Kobayashi and said, "This is the prize I just got when I sang with my seniors in KTV. It's not a valuable thing. If I don't dislike it, I'll give it to you. Happy birthday!"

"Ah, thank you." After a moment of silence, Masato Kobayashi quickly took it with both hands, then glanced at the short-haired girl. Under the encouragement of the short-haired girl, she opened the small box. A crisp music sound came from the box. It was the famous Sky City.

It turned out that this was a small music box.

"I really didn't expect that I could receive a birthday gift. Thank you so much. I will cherish it." Kobayashi Masato raised his head and looked at the short-haired girl with firm eyes.

The short-haired girl was a little embarrassed by Masato Kobayashi's eyes, her face turned slightly red, but she still smiled happily.

Everyone applauded with fun.

"Boss, can you please help me divide the cake into five portions? I want everyone to eat it together." Masato Kobayashi said to the store manager Ono.

"No problem." Manager Ono smiled and took away the small, small cake, then carefully divided it into five portions, and decorated some fresh fruit on each portion.

Finally, the five portions of the cake were given to the five people present, including himself, each of them.

"Thank you." Everyone thanked each other.

Then I tasted this special cake.

"Ah, it's twelve o'clock in five minutes." The short-haired girl noticed the time displayed on the old clock next to her.

"Yes, in five minutes, my birthday is about to pass, but I'm very happy today, thank you everyone." Kobayashi Masato said to everyone, and finally even looked at the short-haired girl deeply.

So the short-haired girl's face turned red again.

I celebrated a special birthday for Masato Kobayashi in Ono Pavilion, and the happy time passed by everyone's laughter.

After twelve o'clock, the long-haired girl and the short-haired girl first finished the small portion of cake, then finished the pork soup and a small bowl of rice they ordered, and then prepared to say goodbye.

"We will have a job tomorrow, so we will leave first!" The long-haired girl stood up and said to everyone who had just met but soon got to know each other.

"Work hard, come on!" Aoye raised his glass and signaled to the two of them.

"Thank you." said the two.

"Well, will you come back in the future?" Kobayashi Masato asked, and when he asked, his eyes were always looking at the girl with short hair.

"Of course we will come to such a great store!" said the short-haired girl with a smile. At this time, she no longer looked a little nervous when she first entered the store. It was obviously the type that was very silent in front of outsiders and was very talkative in front of acquaintances. Now that she is familiar with everyone, she has no sense of tension.

"Well, you must come!" Kobayashi Masato said to the girl with short hair.

"Ah, by the way, isn't there a murderer recently? You two girls will be unsafe!" Qingye suddenly interrupted.

The long-haired girl and the short-haired girl changed her face at the same time. In the end, the long-haired girl squeezed out a smile and said, "We will be careful."

"It's better to do this. How about you sending them back in Kobayashi Sang? You should have time, right?" Aoye said with a wink at Kobayashi Masato.

"Me? Of course, I have time, I'll give it to you!" Kobayashi Masato reacted suddenly and said immediately.

"Hey? But will this trouble you too much?" The long-haired girl said with a strange expression.

"Yes, yes, I'm so troubled." The even more timid short-haired girl was obviously moved, but she was still a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, what's the trouble! You just gave me a birthday gift! Even if it's a birthday gift, it's better." Kobayashi Masato immediately stood up and said.

The girl with long hair still wanted to refuse, but she hesitated when she saw the girl with short hair with a scared expression on her face.

"Then, please trouble you!" In the end, the two girls agreed to Kobayashi Masato's proposal to send them back.

In this way, Kobayashi Masato escorted the two girls away with excitement.

"I can only help you here, and the rest depends on yourself." Aoye looked at the three people who left, raised his glass to the seat where Masato Kobayashi had just sat and said.

"Uesugi, it's a good job." The shop manager Ono gave a thumbs up at Aoba with a smile.

"It's so good to be young!" Oi Saburo sighed with a shaking head.

"Let's have a bottle of beer again." Aoye smiled and said to the store manager Ono.
