Chapter 10: Chapter 9 ~ Hotaru’s house

After all the previous events, Hotaru heads home.

He walks about fifty minutes to get to school, as he does not have enough money to buy a bike or even to buy a train ticket.

He has to use his money very carefully in order to pay the rent for the apartment and get food on a daily basis, so riding buses or taxis is something that is forbidden to him.

He continued walking until he reached a neighborhood that looked rather old. There are many abandoned houses here, some of which are even destroyed.

The rent here is very cheap, which is why he lives in it, but it's also called the criminal zone because it's the most dangerous neighborhood in the city.

Many people in high positions would like to wipe this neighborhood off the map and rebuild it, but they are waiting for the president's approval.

And Hotaru is taking advantage of this waiting time and living cheaply here.

This neighborhood is characterized by its unique scent, which resembles the smell of soil when raindrops fall on it.

No one knows why this smell is here, but it kind of makes the neighborhood more beautiful. Or in better say, it makes this zone look more dangerous.

All the houses are gray and some of them are broken, so the person who walks must be careful that some stones fall on him.

It looks like the area was hit by some kind of earthquake, but it's full of life. Because there are many cats and few mice.

Birds don't reach this neighborhood because it is dangerous for them, and the organism that rules this area is insects, there are many of them.

Of course, the people who live here are not ordinary people with families or the like.

They are just marginalized, poor people and most of them are criminals.

Murders are normal here, and you'd better not get involved.

The appropriate solution is to ignore the corpse, because the police deal with this area very negligently.

If they find you trying to check on the murdered person, they may simply assume you are the murderer.

*Step*

*Drop*

*Step*

Hotaru was walking down a narrow corridor very slowly and calmly, as if everything around him was normal.

In this corridor, drops of green water fall to the ground, and Hotaru's footsteps are also audible.

And if you're just a normal person living here, you'd better not wonder why this water has turned green.

The mice were hiding when they saw Hotaru approaching them, and that's what he was thinking at that moment;

'Narrow and nasty corridor as usual, but the best shortcut to home'

Hotaru walked out that corridor into an area full of people, it's the main street of this neighborhood, the worst kind of people are here. Some smoke, some drink, and whores are everywhere. This is without talking about people who sell drugs and thieves.

The strange thing is that Hotaru smiled when he saw this scene and turned right, and while he was walking, he could hear the men's voice complimenting the women. clichés quot;

"Your body is great as always... Won't I see you today at my house... How much do you want me to pay you tonight?"

Those words made the smile on Hotaru's face disappear, as he was walking, ignoring everything he heard and everything he saw.

The reason for his smile from the beginning was;

'These people are just fake people. They pretend to be the worst, but I see that they are victims of something worse than themselves. This disgusting neighborhood is a bliss compared to the white project.'

But of course, going home wouldn't be that safe, and the first one who intercept Hotaru this time was a pretty prostitute.

That miss was carrying a cigarette and a lighter, and after she lit her cigarette, she blew all the smoke in Hotaru's face, and brought her mouth close to his, saying without touching his lips;

"Do you want to have meat for dinner?"

Words like that are enough to seduce many men, but this young lady's choice was wrong this time.

Because she suddenly found herself looking into the void, as if Hotaru wasn't there.

Twenty steps forward, Hotaru continued his walk as if nothing had happened.

This was normal for him, after all, he had been living here for over two weeks.

Hotaru opened the door to his apartment, turned on the lights, and then locked the door.

"I'm Back"

The only person who greeted Hotaru upon his return from school was;

*Meow!*

He bent down, then carried his white cat with blue eyes, saying;

"Nero, How are you today"

He walked carrying his cat and then threw his bag on the floor and jumped on the bed while cuddling the cat.

Hotaru closed his eyes a little, thinking;

'Finally the first day is over, it wasn't what I expected but it was kinda fun.'

The day passed normally and the next morning came.

Hotaru woke up by the saliva of his cat that was licking his face, and the first thing he did after waking up was to look at the clock hanging on the wall.

There is an hour and a half left until the beginning of the school hours, that's why he sighed and said;

"I have to thank you for waking me up at the right time again."

Right after breakfast, Hotaru headed to school. But there was something unexpected at the door.

The green-haired girl was standing by the school door, and when he reached her, she said;

"Good morning"

Her reaction was the exact opposite of what Hotaru expected, he thought he would never be able to talk to her again.

He didn't answer her and took a step forward, then she said angrily;

"This is not a noble behavior."

Hotaru stopped walking, and said while He was two steps ahead of her;

"I thought your hatred for me would be stronger"

"Huh? In my opinion, you did nothing wrong. On the contrary, I should thank you. And don't worry, if you try to get my underwear again, I will throw you off the roof of the school."

Hotaru smiled and continued walking, then that girl hurried up and started walking beside him.
