Chapter 1

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Winter will be coming soon.

While walking alone in the city, a man by the name of Shinya grabs the collar of the black leather jacket he inherited from his father to counter the chill that he feels. Despite his best efforts, it still goes up his spine.

When it was cloudy and chilly like today, it was cold enough to shake Shinya even in the early afternoon.

Shinya was aiming heading to the pension office in the downtown area by taking the train.

Shinya strives to live a simple life as much as possible, and does not go through this downtown area except when he comes to this pension office.

“Once this is over, let’s take a look at home appliances place for a while.”

Shinya sometimes mutters to himself like this because of his lack of people to talk to, it was simply natural for him now.

Slithering around the busy people and soon he arrives at the pension office.

When he hurriedly dive into the automatic door, a warm breeze hits his cheek. He was grateful for the heat to warm his cold body.

“Oh, resident’s card… did I bring it?”

Suddenly anxious about whether he brought what he needed to apply for the documents, he checked his jacket pockets.

’This is.. not good.”

There is no green envelope I got from the government office. There is no green envelope with a copy of the resident’s card with the registered domicile.

Shinya sighs loudly and begins a simple calculation.

The train fee required to return home from here.

The procedure fee for getting a new copy of the resident’s card at the government office.

Which one is more expensive is the train fare. Fortunately, I have the ID required to get it issued.

He takes out his ancient smartphone and searches for the nearest office.

“Do I have to go back to the station …”

He started walking in a disappointed fashion, but even if he wanted to get home, he had to walk toward the station, so walking in this direction is in his best interest.

Shinya puts his smartphone in his backpack and starts walking.

After crossing the automatic door and returning to cold enviornment under a cold sky , he took a deep breath to motivate him.

His face is distorted by the tingling nose pain that comes from the cold.

“He.. he …”

The urge to push up from the feeling of strangeness in his nose.

“AHHCHOO!”

At that moment, Shinya was struck by dizziness that he couldn’t believe he was just sneezing.

“Wow… I feel…”

Discomfort as if Shinya’s head was swollen.

He covered his head with his hands.

After the pain subsided a bit, he raised his head a bit.

Dark black smoke climbing into a cloudy sky.

A plosive, burning, broken building that echoes intermittently in the distance. The smell of smoke, the smell of burning dregs, the smell of unknown.

Shinya felt that it was like a battlefield on TV.

Looking back, the large building where Shinya’s pension office used to be was also rubble.

Shinya was greatly confused by the overwhelming destruction that seemed to have occurred during the sneeze.

However, his animal instincts force him to move.

Nothing harms him.

Dangerous things around, rubble.

Buildings that are likely to collapse.

There is something at his feet.

Human.

At first glance, it looks like their just sitting down, but their arms and legs are bent in a direction that they shouldn’t be. The part that should not bend is bent.

His eyes are wide open and his mouth is tied in a horizontal line as if he is enduring pain, but he does not move at all.

“It’s a corpse..”

In modern Japan, where corpses are rarely seen, the intuition that went along with such strangeness was convincing.

And Shinya notices.

The backpack the corpse is carrying.

In the black jacket that the corpse is wearing.

Even though the original look of the face that was greatly distorted..

“……Ah”

Shinya notices and a small sound leaks from hish mouth.

The corpse is Shinya himself. He broke his arms and legs and died after suffering.

Er…. what.

“… Huh … Huh … Huh … Huh …”

He’s almost overwhelmed by the shock, but he can’t make a voice. He can’t take his eyes off.. the corpse. He could only stand still.

What is this? Only one thing came to mind.

A loop of infinite asking himself.

I’m dead. Then, did I become a ghost? Did I die from a major disaster, terrorism or something? If I’m a ghost, what should I do in the future?

And if you become a ghost, can you talk to people?

For fathers, mothers, and sisters.

From that idea, Shinya’s eyes are moistened.

The tears were not a fear of death, but somehow calming, sweet and tickling tears.

He was already tired of living alone. When he saw his corpse, that thought was overwhelming.

And it was a time when he understood the end and felt a little calm.

Something blows right next to Shinya, making a loud noise, blowing off the building across the road, and fluttering rubble.

Zudon! Zudon! The sound of destroying the building and the sound of something falling right next to Shinya were roaring sounds that Shinya had never heard before.

“Hit …”

Shinya makes a moaning sound. His ears get far away and he feels like he’s under the water.

The pain in his chest and face made him realize something. If he’s alive, why can he feel pain?

Then an arm stretched out of the rubble and dust.

“Hya!”

Astonished Shinya looks at it again.

The arm that extends from the smoke grabs the rubble at hand, and the owner of that arm appears.

It was a beautiful girl.

Golden hair messed up in the style of dumpling bunand white skin. Apparently a foreigner.

The age of foreigners is difficult for Japanese people to understand, but from Shinya’s point of view, it seems that they are not so different from themselves.

A slender figure that may look like a model if theyuwear something suitable for this time of the year such as a dress.

However, the girl is not dressed like that, wearing a bodysuit that fits her body and a short military jacket over it.

At first glance, she looks like a cosplay soldier, but her standing appearance is as real as if she were in such a place with her clothes.

When the blue eyes under the long eyelashes find Shinya, the eyes are wide open.

“–––––––– !!”

The girl is talking about something.

“––––––––? ––––––! ––––––––––––”

However, it is neither Japanese nor English.

He’s heard it somewhere, but Shinya didn’t understand the meaning of the word at all.

However, as usual, the girl tries to stand up and pulls Shinya’s arm using him to climb up.

Shinya and the girl’s eyes meet. Beautiful blue eyes that are likely to be sucked in. Shinya couldn’t take his eyes off.

After staring at each other for a while, the girl burst into tears in her eyes and hugged Shinya.

Shinya, on the other hand, couldn’t think of the reality. pulled back by the pain.

Shinya’s head caused a short circuit due to too much development, and all the nerves were devoted to the softness of the girl’s body,.

How is she alive?

And why is she hugging him?

Isn’t this a dream?

Shinya couldn’t accept this reality so much that he even doubted the tingling sensation and that he felt pain earlier.

“Shinya?”

She said that, it seemed to Shinya.

Shinya wondered why the beautiful girl in front of him knew his name, but couldn’t give any reaction.

The girl grabs Shinya’s left hand and opens his palm.

Shinya’s palm easily opens due to the immense strength of the girl

When she saw Shinya’s left hand, she was surprised. She leapt away fromShinya with the sound of an explosion.

Jump back about 10 meters. The girl had physical abilities that could not be thought of as humans.

And before I knew it, a black stick was held in the girl’s hand.

The girl holds a stick that is as tall as the girl, with only one pointed, like a spear, and points the pointed tip toward Shinya.

Hostility was felt from the blue eyes.

Shinya’s thoughts, which turned from in her favor to why is she murdering me, were extremely confusing.

“Heh?”

“––––––––! –––––––––– !!!”

Shinya opens his mouth thinking that he must at least ask why, but is overwhelmed by the girl’s angry voice.

Shinya, who is blocked in all directions, opens both hands and raises his hands slowly to convey that he is not hostile.

However, even that behavior seems to frustrate the girl, who raises the black spear thing at him/

However, the glaring of the girl and Shinya did not last so long.

The roaring sound is incomparable to when the leapt away.

It appeared just halfway between Shinya and the girl. While putting up dust and crushing the asphalt ground with the force of it’s falling.

”Bakemono” has appeared.
