Chapter 6: Chapter 5 : Sumire

POV Sumire

Titt! Tiiiit! Tiiit!.................................(Alarm sounds)

The time was 06.30, it was time for the alarm to wake its master.

On top of a white sheet was an irregular mound covered by a white blanket.

A moment later, the mound started to move and a hand popped out, and started to grope the nearby table, then the hand just stopped when it hit an alarm and then turned it off.

“Huaaamm”

A female figure appeared while yawning widely and looked very weak.

I don't know what happened, it looks like she's still not satisfied with her sleep.

"Haahhh.... what a lousy morning."

And that was the only word that came out of her mouth.

***

My name is Honjou Sumire. My family comes from an ordinary family. So I was born as an ordinary baby who grew up normally and went to school without making a famous name. My education in elementary and middle school was in my hometown, but when I was in high school, I moved a little to the city. Then after graduation, I chose to go to Tokyo only with the excuse of making my new debut as a new person there. Hope to find reliable friends and have an established future.

But life won't end the way I thought it would.

After graduating from high school, I got mediocre grades, so I was forced to take a less well-known university and take a course that lacked interest. Coupled with my insufficient living expenses, it made me desperately looking for a part-time job. And due to lack of skills, I can only take jobs that rely on physical strength. Such as transporting goods in a certain store or as a janitor.

I feel very upset when I get rejected to work as a waitress in a cafe or restaurant. This is the kind of job I'm looking for though. But just because I wasn't pretty and a little fat, I was rejected outright in front of my face.

"What a sad life."

But even so, I still live this difficult life full of hard work.

I once imagined a desire to kill myself, but as if there was an inner urge to save me, my heart refused to do so. It's true that suicide can solve anything, but it's just an escape and the hard work I've put in up until now will only end in vain. So after thinking well, all things about suicide no longer crossed my mind.

So I went about my usual routine as an ordinary student as well as a work slave without complaining at all.

It was the life I used to live.

I got out of bed, crossed the pile of cardboard, and then went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

I have too little free time, so very little time can be set aside for cleaning the room. So it is very clear if this room is very messy, like a ghost ship.

But don't worry, even now, I still don't have any friends. So I'm not too worried about friends who will visit. Because it would be trouble if they knew how messy my room was.

I take classes that only have a schedule in the morning, so I can work from afternoon to evening.

Very solid, isn't it?

What's more, it usually takes time to work until late. So I definitely have very little free time.

When I got home, I fell asleep right away, and curled up in the blankets. Maybe just changing clothes or not at all.

That's how hard life is.

"Then let's start the class now."

The lecturer came in a few minutes after I arrived in class.

Sitting in the very back, all I did was nod because I was sleepy.

And without realizing it, the lecture was over.

"Okay just like that. This program assignment is due next week, so don't be late.”

“Huaammm”

I quickly reorganized the table and put the book back in the bag. Without any other special events, I immediately went to get ready for work.

Thankfully, my workplace has already prepared lunch. So I don't have to bother with lunch anymore.

After walking a few minutes from campus to work, I went straight to the locker room to change. if you look at the previous state of the shop, it looks like it will be very busy today as well. Very crowded with goods that need to be transferred to container trucks.

“Sumire, that's right, now it's your turn. Hurry up!”

"Ready, manager."

After changing into the work set, I immediately stepped in to help other employees move things.

There's a lot of stuff that needs to be transported, it could take up to an hour for just this one container.

But it doesn't matter how hard the work is, I'll gladly do it. Just hope, later there will be an additional salary, even though this is only a small hope. But it's okay if you don't have one. This is better than not receiving a salary at all, because right now my financial condition is in a slump.

"This is the last one."

“Okay, thanks for your hard work.”

"Uwaahhh, it's finally over."

After handing over the last item to the container clerk, I immediately sat on the chair provided.

“Thank you for your hard work, you must be tired right. I have prepared your lunch in the locker. Also I have put your salary this month along with the bonus in it. So you can relax or go home straight after this.”

"Uh, mister manager? Isn't there still a cleaning schedule?"

"You're excited as usual huh. But it's okay. Cleanliness can take a day off first. Luckily the shop is closed tomorrow. So cleaning things can be done tomorrow only. You just rest today."

"Eh, ah.. really?"

"Of course. Or do you still want to work today?”

“No,… er, no, but thank you.”

"No problem. And make sure you shower after this. You sweated a lot today."

"Ready manager."

With that the manager left and left me to enter the shop.

The manager of this shop is an old woman in her 50s. She was very kind to me and now I consider her my aunt. She gave me this job when other places rejected my application.

I was initially only forced to take this job because there was no other job. But now I can accept this job happily because the manager is a nice person and of course because there is free lunch and dinner, so I can save my expenses.

In addition, this shop is also flexible, for example if I am unable to go to work such as sick or there are campus activities that cannot be tolerated, the manager will accept it easily without any salary deductions.

All of that really makes my job easier.

So grateful I got a job in such a good place.

I returned to the changing room and headed to the locker. There was already a lunch box and a large envelope and a small envelope inside. As the manager said, she gave me a bonus today. It was natural because today was a tough job.

I took it without hesitation and then sat down at the table provided for lunch. Since it's my turn to rest now, I'm the only one here. There should be two female workers here, but because of the agreement, we will work in shifts. And because of that, we only used to keep in contact during shifts, so we were never close from the start. I also never had the chance to get acquainted with her because I think she has an aura that is hard to approach. So relying on instinct, I've never spoken to her.

After this lunch, there was still some more work to do for the day. But it will be the last and after that it's time for me to go home.

"Oh, it's finally done mate."

“Indeed, it ended sooner than I thought.”

"It is true. But that was tough work. Despite the spirit, the fatigue is felt these days.”

“Then how about we have some drinks after this. I treat."

"Really? Then gladly. There are times when you make a good partner too.”

"Hey! What does that mean try?”

“Just kidding, just kidding mate. Next time let me treat, okay. In return."

“Ohh, then thank you. You're an understanding comrade apparently."

"Pleased to hear it."

Two officers from the container truck chatted with each other before taking off. I who ended up giving up all work also had free time. Usually because I finished at night, due to additional cleaning work, making it my first time to go home before nightfall.

The sun was still a few meters above the ground. There were still approximately three hours to go before it was completely submerged. So there's plenty of free time before I finally go home.

“It's also confusing if I don't do anything right now. It's like being a slave to work is ingrained. Oh, yeah, speaking of drinking, I've never tasted it. Maybe it's time I tried, considering I'm old enough."

Because adults always talk about how good it is to have a drink after work. I am being curious. I've also heard, 'by drinking after a tired work, then it will lift all your fatigue'.

So now that I'm of age, I'm going to make this debut.

Coming to a restaurant that doubles as a bar, I ordered an aperitif and a serving of roast beef. Every now and then making it like a celebratory party looks good too.

But the result is,...

“So delicious!!!”

“Is this the world? This is the first time I have felt an extraordinary pleasure.”

"Hahahahaha... awesome..."

I feel like I'm out of control. All the heavy burdens I had been carrying so far were completely lost in the hallucination. Luckily I found a quiet table. So no one is bothered by this noise.

Very pleasant.

I want to be in this atmosphere forever.

Hey! So what is the world all this time?

Who cares. Anyway this is the best time.

I do not know how long I was lulled in pleasure. I spent the money I just received just to get drunk and eat roast beef.

And then,...

“Sorry customer, you have been here too long. If you have nothing else to do, can you make a payment right away? ”

"Hah? You evict customers?”

"Eh,... no. But you've been here for seven hours, sir."

"Seven hours??? Don't be kidding me."

"No, but it's almost midnight now."

"Hah?"

What is he talking about?

Seven hours you say? Isn't it just 1 hour.

But suddenly when I saw the other side of the window plastered on the corner of the wall, I was suddenly flabbergasted.

It was dark outside, but shouldn't the sun be just about to set. I checked the clock on the wall, but since my vision was quite blurry, I checked my smartphone.

11.27 PM.

It is the time designated now.

"Hah?"

Why?

Why didn't I realize?

Have I been here all this time?

Even though I was given a lot of free time.

Why did it end up like I was working.

“Excuse me sir, can you make the payment immediately?”

I suddenly regained my senses thanks to the employee's question earlier.

But there is one problem.

“……what is the total bill?”

“Given all that everything is...”

Haa?

Is this real?

Wouldn't all of that cost me my monthly salary now?

Didn't I just get paid?

But all that will run out right now?

It's outrageous.

But who is outrageous?

From the start it was all my fault for wanting to feel drunk.

So this is my fault?

No, this was the previous container employee's fault. They're the ones that got me interested in drinking.

Although it's also my fault for being attracted to stupid things like that.

I'm really unlucky.

“Haah,...”

"Sorry sir, please make pay-"

"I understand, shut up. This! it's all the money."

“Excuse me sir, but make payment at the cashier.”

"Hah!?"

"Ah no. This is the right money. I'll hand it over to the cashier."

With that I staggered home.

Midnight, on a deserted street. My life has just ended.

All because of my negligence.

Is this fate that must have been given to me?

Really why the world is so cruel.

Once again I wish I could just die at this rate.

I walked, continuing to walk with unsteady steps towards my apartment. Occasionally stopping to stabilize my balance.

Because the quiet streets make me walk better. But luckily no thugs stopped me. I don't have any money anyway, but if they keep showing up, my life will just get worse.

“Hah, I want to die.”

A desperate voice echoed from my mouth.

Walking like a zombie, I slowly voiced my despair.

And subconsciously I didn't pay attention to my steps.

In front of me, the road will have a height difference. Even though it's only 5 cm, it's still a pretty bad number when it comes to feet. If my foot got stuck, though it would be fairly normal, but in a case like mine, if I tripped it would shake my balance quickly.

And I ended up tripping over it.

And as expected, I lost my balance involuntarily.

And at that moment my center of gravity was leaning more to the left, so the direction of the imbalance was leaning more to the left and that led me to the road.

On that occasion, I was really unlucky.

When I woke up, I saw a beam of light from behind. And without asking what it was, I already knew the answer before I turned around.

And it's true that after I turned around, the source of the light was from a high-speed car

Ah, I'm really unlucky aren't I.

Looks like this is really my end.

But thankfully, I can end this miserable life right now.

God, if I was given another chance. I wish I had a better life. Then, I will try to do better.

And,...

DUARRR

At that time, I was swept away in darkness and lost consciousness, into a world completely different from what I knew.
