By the way, I’m not mean to be demeaning.
Of course, I am not self-conscious, baseless, and full of confidence.
I simply look at my reality objectively.
I feel terribly empty when I face the harsh reality …… especially concerning myself …… head on.
So people tend to overestimate their own specs more than they actually are.
To be honest, I don’t like to think too badly about myself either.
But sometimes you have to face reality.
If you keep ignoring reality and believing in delusions, you will end up in bankruptcy.
I realized this three years ago that day.
To live in the real world, all I need to do is to seriously assess the real world.
We need to have fantasies …… romantic comedies ……, but we have to keep in mind that they are only fiction.
If you look at it from that perspective, I’m just a shady loner with no skills.
Of course, I’m not good-looking or anything.
Such a man would never be interested in women, especially beautiful girls.
So if a beautiful girl approaches such a man, you can be 99% sure that it is a scam.
If not one, but two beautiful girls appear at the same time, the probability that …… it is not a scam is about 1% x 1%……1 million to one.
By the way, according to Doogle, this probability is about the same as the probability of me dying in a car accident tomorrow.
This would be common in an otherworldly reincarnation story, but not in real life.
I haven’t given up on life yet to the point where I’m convinced I’m going to be attracted to a truck and die tomorrow.
In other words, I’ve already established that the two of them are scammers at this point.
Now it’s just a matter of what these women want …….
What is the reason why they consider me to be of some value …… or even available to them now?
In these situations, it is better to think simply, not hard.
What people want from others is usually either selfish love or money.
Therefore, the motive for most cases that occur in the real world is usually a simple male-female relationship or a financial problem.
Unfortunately, it is not the touching and complicated long-standing grudges and bitterness that occur in fictional murder cases.
There is no way that beautiful girls like Shiori nee, Mai, and the others would seek love from a shady, inept loner like me.
So, are these girls after money?
But I have no money, of course.
No …… wait.
Sure I have no money.
But …… I have that apartment.
That apartment that my grandfather owned and that I now live in. ……
[It’s a small apartment in the middle of nowhere, but it’s still real estate, in case you’re wondering. If you tear down the apartment and clear the land, you can sell it for a few million yen, can’t you?]
I think those people were saying that happily when I was evicted from my house.
But for some reason, they didn’t. Instead, they let me stay in the apartment.
I try my best to recall what happened.
To be honest, I have almost no memory of the time just before I was evicted.
No ……, I’m sure I chose to forget for the sake of my own mental health.
But I can’t say that now.
I have to see the real …… reality, which I don’t want to see.
Yes,…… that was a few days before the day I was kicked out,…….
I’ve spent every day since those people’s attitude changed, checking on them and freaking out.
I would watch them through the doorway at night as I always did, hiding.
[…… I should be getting more money for taking care of other people’s kids. Why don’t we just tear down that shabby apartment and sell it?]
[I wish I could. Well, ……, it’s too much too soon, you know. Even a kid like him has the right to inherit. I’m fine with just the house for now. Besides, it would be a good excuse to kick him out. I don’t think we’ll be able to find a buyer for that shabby apartment in the suburbs anytime soon, anyway.]
The light leaking from the living room illuminated the dark hallway.
The faces of those people reflected in the light looked terrifying, as if they were different people.
I involuntarily shuddered and realized that I could no longer stay in this house. ……
At the time I didn’t really know what it meant, and I didn’t think much about it because I wasn’t in the mood for it,…… although I didn’t want to think about it.
But now that I think about it,…… I’m beginning to understand,…….
