Chapter 0 – Minase Eri

Approaching an unchanging shiny morning, As usual, I woke up to my alarm.

Today was the start of a different day, unlike usual.

The high school’s entrance ceremony, it’s a day where qualified examinees start to attend their school of choice, if one looks at it by its definition.

I was admitted into Ousaki Kouhou junior and senior school by internal admission, commonly said as the “escalator” type of admission, there wasn’t any excitement or anything.

“It’s boring.”

While was taking my shower, maybe because i was still half asleep, all the things I had in my mind had drifted away.

From the moment I woke up, what things I have said actually.

Unintentionally, I laughed at my self-propelled feeling.

I thought I will continue 3 years with similar days so no matter how much I think, it could only be expressed by one word, “boring”.

“Maybe it’s unchanging. ”

Even if I wished for my daily life to change to an ordinary one, the surroundings didn’t change. Rather, I maybe didn’t wish for the surroundings to change.

The others recognized me as aloof and isolated.

Even though I didn’t have any troubles in finding talking partner, I didn’t have someone whom I can play with ...someone whom I can have an equal relationship with. I was such an existence. However, I pretty much understand that I do it for my ego.

While pondering around those depressed thoughts, after I have promptly finished my dressing, I went to the living room.

“Father, mother good morning”

“Aa, good morning Eri”

“Good morning. Eri-chan, will bread do?”

“Yes”

While I was redoing my daily morning routine, I instinctively laughed in my heart.

There's also nothing out of the ordinary during the usual morning’s exchange, it’s just a plain common daily life as it has been repeated very much.

Even though in some way, today was their only daughter’s entrance ceremony.

I was also not a child to still complain about trivial things now.

Thanks to my parents’ hard work, I could live in convenience. 

Furthermore, I thought wishing for my parents’ presence is just my selfishness.

“Thanks for the meal. I will go.”

“Eri, you’re early today.”

“Have a safe trip, Eri-chan.”

-Correction. As expected I was a child. Because of my father’s unconcerned words,  I was inclined to make some trivial rebellion.

If it’s like usual, I will bring my dishes to the sink after I have finished eating, but today I just let it lay on the table. While received words from my parents, I quickly stepped out from my house.

“I wish a transfer student will come to my school…”
　

While muttering that wishful wish, I—Minase Eri, , my high school life’s curtain has been opened.
