The clouds that were in the sky were beautiful. The gloomy atmosphere gave the restaurant a great impression during the evening time. Nightfall was only a few hours away.
Eichi stepped behind the cash register. The hiring process wasn’t what caused him trouble, it was the position that he applied for that had the shop owner chuckling. He was still a kid, so the owner saw that the kid had potential, but to throw him under the responsibility of taking care of the customer’s meals? It was hysterical. Eichi was still given what was considered a hard job. Working the cash register, a job where you had to prove that you could be trusted. Handling yen of course was something Eichi hadn’t done before. But it was his first job, so he was still unenthusiastic about the job, yet happy if that made any sense.
”Just a basic order of ramen? Sir are you sure? We have a few house specialties that we can serve up?” With the offer declined, Eichi gave the customer his total.
The business in the shop was great, and it wasn’t considered one of the busy days. The customers could see the small smile the boy was trying to give, and thought it was cute. It only helped business. He was referred to as the new kid. They even spoke of his future and the years to come, saying he would make a great cook because he started so early. Eichi figured when he learned to make a few dishes he could cook for the clan back at home.
