Episode 1 – Hidaka Ruri

In late March, I became independent.

However, since it is temporary independence, I must return home after my senior year of high school.

So, for now, let’s go to my house.

It was a 30-minute train ride from the nearest station to my parents’ house, a 10-minute walk from the station, and I arrived at my rented apartment.

It takes less than an hour from my parents’ house to here, but since I wanted to be close to my high school, this was the place I had to be. In fact, the time from my parents’ house to the school and the apartment I rented were almost the same.

“So this is my room, I came to see it, but I still don’t care for it.”

This apartment was remodeled 3 years ago, 1 LK, separate bath and toilet, for what….

It is 30,000 yen!

Cheap, so cheap… I wonder why it’s so cheap… Is there something wrong with it?

Yes, there is something.

It seems that four years ago, a woman stalking a man who lived in one of the rooms in this apartment found out that he was getting married, and in despair, the stalker woman killed him up and killed herself as well.

Yes, it was an accident. But there are no psychic phenomena, so I heard there’s almost no need to worry about it. That’s why I decided to stay here. Is everything really going to be okay?

“Anyway, my luggage has already been sent, so I guess I’ll just have dinner.”

“Since I don’t have any cooking utensils, I guess I’ll just go to a convenience store for the day.”

I bought a boxed lunch at a convenience store three minutes away from the apartment, and when I got home, I thought I should unpack…

“I said! I’ve told you many times, I’m not going with you guys!　I’m not going with you guys!”

“That’s fine, come have fun with us~”

“Uwaa, it’s a pick-up. It’s really happening.”

I was unintentionally impressed. I had always thought that picking up girls was just a fantasy, something that didn’t happen in real life.

“Anyway, she doesn’t like it, and now that I’ve seen it, I have to help her.”

I didn’t want to get into too much trouble, but I wanted to end it without making things worse.

“Umm~ She doesn’t seem to like it, so why don’t you just give up there?”

“Haa? who the hell are you?”

“I’m just a regular guy passing by. You see, she doesn’t like it.”

“She is okay right!”

The pickup guy pulls her arm.

“Kyaa!”

“Look, I don’t think she likes it.”

“Tsk! Shut up, you want to be hurt a little bit, don’t you? You guys, have him a little bit.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll take care of it, aniki.”

Oh, man, we got in a fight. One, two, three, four cronies… I don’t know, I don’t really want to fight.

“D-don’t worry about me, you get away.”

She must be scared, too, and yet she is so kind to let me go. There was no way I was going to run away from her.

“Don’t worry. Rest assured, I will save you.”

“Do it!”

At the same time, the cronies attacked me.

I have learned many things since I was a child.

I’ve taken many different classes, from academics to the arts.

Judo, boxing, and self-defense are among them.

So basically, even if I am attacked, as long as it is not with a knife or something, I am basically okay.

One of his cronies comes at me, but he is very slow and I can easily avoid him.

Next comes a kick, which is also slow.

“You guys have never been in a fight at all.”

“Tsk!　You underestimate me!”

You’re totally slow, all you think about is punching and kicking… you don’t attack with proper thought…

Each of them attacked a different spot, and the four cronies fell down.

If like this.

“No way!”

“Hey! You guys! You’re lying!”

“Come on, that’s enough. Just give up and go home.”

“Tsk! I’m not going to let this end with you beating us up like this!”

The pickup guy comes at me. Unlike his cronies, he seemed to have some fighting experience.

“Hmph! You scared? I box.”

I punch him in the stomach, knocking him out.

“Concentrate before you talk like that, because if you show any signs of weakness, it’s the end of you.”

I knew this was going to happen. I don’t want to fight anymore.

“T-thank you.”

“Are you all right?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Um, may I ask your name?”

“Me? My name is Takiyama Ren,Takiyama in Hachioji Takiyama has a ashen stone blind.”

“? Hachioji Takiyama?”

“It’s a roadside station in Tokyo…”

“Hee, really?”

“What’s your name?”

“Uh, um, well…”

She begins to operate her phone.

“I am Hidaka Ruri. I’m Ruri Hidaka of Jukai Road Hidaka and Ruri ’s Ruri.”

“Jukai Road Hidaka?”

“It’s a roadside station. It came up when I looked it up.”

“I see. I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.”

“No, thank you very much for your help.”

“Well, please be careful on your way home.”

I left the convenience store. By the way, I left the guys behind.

I went home, took a bath, washed off my sweat, ate my convenience store lunch box, which was misshapen because of the fight, and thought I would go to bed, but then I remembered that I had a balcony, and I went out on the balcony to see what kind of night view I could see…

“”Eeh?!””

On the balcony next to me was Hidaka Ruri.

“”H-How did you end up here?””

“I moved in today…”

“W-Well, I just moved in yesterday…”

“I see. Then Nice to meet you as a neighbor.”

“I-I’m looking forward to working with you.”

So, that was the end of the conversation for now, and I went to bed that day.

Meanwhile, in the next room…

“Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun next to Ren-kun is next to me, and I’m next to him, and he’s next to me, and I’m next to him, and he’s next to me, and I’m next to him, and he’s next to me.”
