Chapter 39 - Miserable Life

My life has been a miserable one. Or, more precisely, I had a happy life until elementary school.

Mom, Dad, and I lived a peaceful life together.

It all started in junior high school.

I went to junior high school and had a normal life in the first year.

I was popular since my freshman year, if I may say so myself.

I had a peaceful life, with some envy and jealousy from the girls, but nothing direct.

But my peaceful life was disrupted in an instant by a single event.

A man who was the center of attention in our grade confessed his feelings to me.

I wasn't interested in going out with him, so of course I said no, and I didn't think he was cool or anything.

It was a bad idea. Well, I would have been unhappy even if we had been in a relationship.

The girls who were flirting with that guy really didn't like me, and they turned their attention to me.

At first, it was just my textbooks being hidden or my shoes going missing.

I thought to myself that they were just being childish and just brushed it off.

Maybe that was a bad idea. Because it fueled their desire for attention even more, and things escalated to become more extreme.

I was gradually ignored by my classmates, water was thrown on me when I went to the bathroom, and sometimes my desk disappeared from the classroom. There were also times when dead insects were put on my desk and my gym clothes were gone. It was a terrible experience.

As a junior high school student, my heart was gradually deteriorating.

I didn't want to worry Mom and Dad, whom I love, so I didn't tell anyone and kept enduring. But everything broke down.

Once I missed a day of school, I never wanted to leave my room again, and I never wanted to talk to anyone.

But I felt incredibly unworthy of myself, and I felt sorry for Mom and Dad.

I was exhausted both physically and mentally, and was losing weight.

When I started to think that it would be better for me to die, Dad held me back with his words.

Dad's heart was warm.

I loved the warmth of his hugs.

But… Even my favorite Dad was gone.

My mind was endlessly empty.

I had given up on everything.

And the last hope for such a miserable life is my beloved Yukishiro-Onii-san.

The reason I want your brother Yukishiro-Onii-san to stay at home and not work is because I don't want him to have an accident. I don't want him to go anywhere.

Well, let's put that aside for now.

The culprit that destroyed my life has now appeared.

Yukishiro-Onii-san's hand got tighter and tighter, and when I looked at his face, I felt as if he was about to hit these idiots.

But I can't let that happen.

This is my problem, and I can't run away from it anymore.

Because I want to move forward with Yukishiro-Onii-san.

Using these idiots… I'm going to say goodbye to my past.
