Episode 1 – It was a future of being slapped by a beautiful girl

If you could know what the future holds, what could you do?

For example, if you knew what the next test was going to be, you could get a good score.
For example, if you knew the winning lottery numbers, you could become a millionaire.
The rest is …… no good. My tiny brain can only think of such mundane wishes.

How nice it would be if I knew the future like that. However, life is not designed to work out that way.

I, Ito Arase, know the future.

Amazing, isn’t it? You never know what life has in store for you.
I almost died in an accident, and I got this mysterious power.

But it’s not that good. As I said before, life doesn’t always work out that way.

For proof ……

“What do you have to say?”
“…………Ah this, um….. I was trying to save you from an accident. ……”
“Accident? Heee, can you elaborate?”
“Ah, umm…… soon a yellow car is going to drive into you at a very high rate of speed.”
“Hmmm……, you …… pervert!”
“Gah!?”

I was shocked to my cheeks with a crunching sound.

“I don’t understand!”

The girl in front of me turned red and ran away, whether out of anger or embarrassment.

“…. not much is it…”

I couldn’t help but mourn my own bad luck. I was trying to hold back, but I could see tears in my eyes.
She asked me to elaborate, so I told her honestly.

“That woman …… really went for it.”

When the pain had somehow subsided, I stared in the direction the woman had left abominably.
A beautiful girl with beautiful black hair. It was the worst encounter I’ve ever had.

Now. Let me explain once again why I was hit by her.
I didn’t do anything on purpose to offend her. This may sound like an excuse, but it was an accident.

To put it simply, I pulled her arm to save her from an accident and ended up hugging her as hard as I could.

It really was an accident. I had no intention of doing that.
I-I really didn’t mean to do that. It just smelled so good.

But think about it.
What would have happened to her if I hadn’t done that?

It’s obvious. A few more moments later, she would have collapsed in a pool of blood at that intersection.
So, if you think I saved your life, you can at least give me a slap on the wrist …….

“It hurt. ……”

I held my tingling cheek and cried again when I remembered.

“This kind of helping people that I do on occasion. I can’t do this.”

It wasn’t that I wanted gratitude. Still, I still feel somewhat empty that the fact that I really helped her is not for her.

But still, this future prediction …… that appears irregularly imposes so many ordeals on me.

If I could have known the future at will, I would have been able to choose a better future.
But all I can see is what will happen in a few minutes.
I know that she will be hit by a car. This is the result of predicting it.

“…… Well, anyway, I’m glad she didn’t get into an accident.”

As I muttered that, a yellow sports car passed through the intersection at a very high speed, ignoring the traffic light.

“…………That’s a flashy color.”

After watching the car pull away with my eyes, I headed home.

◆

“I want to die.”
“Don’t be naive, young man.”

The afternoon of the day I helped a stranger and got hit by her.
I was returning to my place of residence.

The woman who responded to my mutterings was Kochi Ayako, a very generous person who had taken me in because I had no relatives. She is also a beautiful woman. This is important.

I don’t exactly have no relatives, but due to certain circumstances, I will be staying with her for a limited period of time starting this April …… as of yesterday.

That’s why I’m going to be living together with Ayako san alone!

That’s what a normal high school boy would have been saying with excitement. But the truth is, I am not that thrilled.

First of all, I can’t afford to fall in love. Because of my unique family situation, I can’t even think about having a girlfriend. And secondly, it’s a pain in the ass. This is a big reason.
…… is not an excuse for not being popular. No, not at all.

And one more thing. It’s Ayako san herself.
It is true that Ayako san is a beautiful woman, but she is also more than one year older than …… my age. So to me, she seems like an older sister.
And Ayako san’s personality is, well, how should I say it,…….

“Are you thinking of something rude?”
“No, I’m not thinking about it.”
“I see ……. Then don’t be silly and say you want to die, get me a man and then go away.”

As you can see, she is very hungry.
She seems to be having a lot of trouble with her marriage activity.
Yesterday, in the car from the airport, she was losing her temper and self-deprecating. She was so angry with me, whom she had never met before.
At night, she was crying while she was drunk. I vowed to myself in one night that I would never become such an adult.

“Please don’t try to meet people from high school.”
“You’re an idiot. You’ve got to spit on the right guys while you still can.
“……”

It sounds like a joke, but it’s not funny because her eyes are serious.

“I just got here yesterday and I don’t have anyone like that.”

I’m not going to introduce you to anyone even if I knew one.

“I see….Haaa…., but I’m wondering if there are any good guys out there …….”

Negative aura is in full swing. I really don’t want you to be depressed. It’s hard to tell if she’s joking or not.

“Anyway. I have a favor to ask you again after you eat that.”
“I don’t have a very good feeling about this, what is it?”

I stopped holding the spoon and asked Ayako san what it was.
I made fried rice for lunch, by the way. Ayako-san is catastrophically incapable of cooking.

Aside from that, I had actually gone out in the morning as well at Ayako san’s request. After wandering around for more than an hour just to send out one postcard, what was finally waiting for me was a slap from a woman.
The truth is that I don’t want to go out anymore today.

“Well well, I cleaned up the room for you, so don’t complain!”
“I appreciate you cleaning my room for me, but it was Ayako-san who came into my room drunk and made it dirty, wasn’t it?”
“…… Well, I say please, but it’s you.”

The conversation was diverted.

“I think your new school uniforms have arrived, so you just need to pick them up! It’s your own thing!”
“Yes, but …… you could have told me in the morning, couldn’t you?”
“That’s …… you see. That one, umm…… I was trying to get you used to this town.”

I bet you forgot.

“I’d like you to go shopping afterwards.”

It seems that’s what she really wants.

“Ah, and just so you know, it’s for your welcome party!”
“…… I understand. I’ll go out again after lunch.”
“That’s the way to do it! I was actually going to do it yesterday, but I drank too much alcohol. I had no choice.”
“…………”

I’m just worried that I’m going to have to spend time with this person from now on.

I take the finished dishes to the sink, finish washing the dishes, and head for the front door.

“Ah, I’d love it if you’d go out and get me some alcohol or something while you’re at it!”
“Please don’t ask a high school student to do that.”
“Eh~ so stingy!”

Is it a matter of being stingy or something else?
I stepped outside after kicking out Ayako san’s order as she lay down on the sofa.

(TL/N : This is another work from “I Couldn’t Confess to The Girl I Liked, so I Compromised with The Most Beautiful Girl in My Grade, and All I Got was a Shuraba” author, this author has a thing for shuraba, which I like, so let’s take a look !)
