Chapter 1: A Beauty With Silver Hair and the Me Who Got Fired
Money, money, money.
All of us know that we need money to survive, and I know that fact very well.
That’s why I’m working even on late school nights.
Just in order to survive.
Rent, utilities, food, and many other things that I need for school.
My parents died in an accident, so I had to earn all of those things all on my own.
If I had stayed with my relatives, who had offered to take me in, I wouldn’t have had to go through any of this hardship.
But I just couldn’t trust those people who flattered me for the inheritance that my parents had left me.
Instead of being sad about my parents’ death, I could see that they were very happy behind their sad faces.
I didn’t want to live with such people, even if I had to pay the price for it.
That’s why I took out only the amount required for my school fees from my parent’s inheritance and distributed all the remaining money to my relatives.
With the condition that they never affiliate with me ever again-
“Hey, kid, you can take a break now.”
“Yes!”
I’m currently working at a road construction site.
Since the work is done near the downtown area in front of the station, there’s a good amount of traffic present, and I was assigned to guide the traffic in order to prevent any accidents.
Of course, as a minor, I’m not actually allowed to work late at night.
This job had been hastily advertised due to the failure of my predecessor, and it was a day job with no resume required.
So I felt bad, but I lied about my age and applied for the job. And the youthful part of me was successfully hired, and that’s how I’m working now.
“Man, it’s great to have young people around here. You’re a college student, right?”
“Y-Yes.”
“That’s great. My back hurts too much to compete with you. Here, I’ll buy you a coffee.”
“T-thank you very much.”
Yanagi-san, who was working at the site, handed me a can of sugar-free coffee.
Summer was approaching, and the cold coffee soaked into my body, which was burning from the thick work clothes worn for safety.
“I’ll be back in about ten minutes. I’ll see you soon.”
“Yes….”
Yanagi-san smiled reliably and went back to the place where his friends were gathering.
It’s not that I’m not a good person, it’s just that I’m not a good person.
“I’m sorry….”
Still, I can’t afford to lose this part-time job.
I work at a convenience store during the day and also traffic guidance during the night.
I have very little time to sleep and study every day.
If you calculate the amount of money I make and the amount of time I actually spend on it, I’d still be on the edge.
After this, it’s just a matter of how much sleep I can properly cut down on.
It might be a little easier if I slept at school, but —- I don’t want to consume my precious learning time with rest.
“That was close.”
Just a little bit of thinking, and my consciousness immediately began to leave my body.
It seems that my fatigue has already reached a level that I can’t ignore anymore.
I stood up from the step on the road I was sitting on, before my body suddenly stopped moving from taking a break.
I stood up and looked in the distance. My eyes catch a figure that seems to be arguing with someone closeby.
“P-please stop!”
“You’re so cute, you should hang out with this uncle for the night.”
A girl about my age… a sophomore in high school is getting tangled up with a drunk middle-aged man with a tie on his head.
The girl clearly has a troubled look on her face, and the middle-aged man is too drunk to speak properly.
The girl is clearly in trouble, and the middle-aged man is too drunk to talk properly. The girl could be assaulted by the irritated middle-aged man anytime now.
I couldn’t ignore her now that I had seen her, so I took advantage of the fact that I was taking a break and left my post and ran over to her.
“Um, are you okay?”
“Eh….?”
The girl looked up and her natural silver hair, which was rare in Japan, swayed slightly.
I know this face, and I know that silver hair.
I’ve been in the same class as her ever since I entered the second grade… and her name is a bit vague in my mind, but I believe that it’s… Tojo-san.
I heard that she took first place in all subjects in all the regular tests last year at our high school, which is a school for higher education. I also heard that she was on the podium in the tennis and track and field events.
She is the daughter of the president of the Tojo Group, a large corporation that straddles Japan and various other countries, and her silver hair is a result of her foreign blood.
And her appearance is such that she is an immensely beautiful woman that everyone turns to look at her.
Such a person was getting tangled up with a drunkard right in front of me.
“What? Brother, are you trying to get in my way?”
If I tried to help this drunkard, who was unsteady on his feet, he would not keep quiet.
The smell of the alcohol irritated my nose to the point that I felt like I was going to sob just by speaking a single word in front of him.
I could see that he had worn a shiny ring on his hand.
“Etto… are you okay?
“AAAN!? What is it?!”
“I think your wife would be pretty upset if you were drinking until this hour.”
The middle-aged man with a dumbfounded look on his face looked at his watch.
The human body is a strange thing, and as soon as he saw it, his face turned pale and his drunkenness disappeared completely.
“C**p.. If I don’t go home now…”
After silently watching the middle-aged man’s back as he staggered away, Tojo-san and I looked at each other.
It was the first time I had ever seen her face this close up, and I was a little taken aback.
I almost thanked God for no reason at all, thinking that there was a person with such a good face in this world.
“T-thank you so much for helping me.”
“I saw you getting tangled up with him, so I just felt compelled to help you. Um… did you get hurt?”
“Yes, I’m fine thanks to you. Thank you very much for your help… Haruyuki Inamori-san.”
“How do you know my full name…?”
I’ve been spending the past month with very few conversations with my friends, except for a couple of my male friends, except for a few of my male friends, because I always leave immediately after school ends.
So I thought that no one would actually remember my full name properly, especially Tojo-san, who is surrounded by so many different friends every day.
“I learned all my classmates’ names on the first day. To get along with everyone, that is.”
“H-haa?”
“On the contrary, Inamori-san, do you not remember my name?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t remember your first name. Um, Fuyuka-san? was it?”
When I asked her that, Tojo-san looked down in disappointment.
However, she immediately raised her head, squeezed my hand and made eye contact with me.
“My name is Tojo Fuyuki. A word related to the season, “winter”. It’s not a very girly name, so I think it’s a little easy to remember….. What do you think?”
“Oh, no, I think it’s a pretty name.”
“….You are surprisingly good at this, Inamori-kun.”
Tojo-san, who looked embarrassed by my praise, coughed to regain her composure and looked at me again.
“Since we are classmates in Class 2-A from this year, it would be great if we could get to know each other better.
“Oh, of course…. Ah.”
“What’s wrong?”
An unpleasant sweat gushed out of me all of a sudden.
When I felt his gaze on me, I turned around fearfully and saw Yanagi-san standing there, who must have come back to check on me.
“Two years, Division A, classmate means that you’re a…. high school student? Then you’re underage, aren’t you?”
“Ah.. Um…”
“…That’s enough. Don’t say anything else.”
“…Sorry.”
At this time….
I guess I don’t need to tell you that I was fired from my part time job and met the most
