Chapter 1

“Oee… haaa…cough cough, haa”

I couldn’t quell my nausea and threw up in a place I don’t know. I, Yuki Haneyama, couldn’t endure it and ended up falling to my knees and throwing up in the gutter right next to the train station. Fortunately, there was no one nearby at 1 in the morning.

I drank too much at the bar today and even though I left before the last train, I managed to sleep through my station. I was woken up by the station employee after going past three stations. In other words, I went and came back. While I have a strong tolerance to alcohol, as soon as I drink too much, this happens. Even if I reflect on this, the times where I try to improve myself don’t happen often.

“I guess I’ll be sleeping outdoors today…”

While being muddleheaded, I mutter to myself. A drunkard can strangely think and agree to things that one wouldn’t normally think of. My body’s already tired, so let’s take a break, but before that, let’s throw up again. While suppressing the nausea that filled my chest, I was gently stroked on my back by someone.

“Um, are you okay?”

“cough cough… haa, yes, sorry, I’m fine…?!”

I heard a worrying, soft, lovely voice and raised my head to see a beautiful woman looking at me with concern. To be honest, I was taken aback. Her well-featured face showed some youthfulness and was both lovely and beautiful to a degree that you would think she’s either a model or actress. Her long wavy brown hair that looked as though she permed it, suited her well. To show a beautiful women this situation and my appearance. I forgot about my nausea and suddenly felt very apologetic.

“Um, I’m sorry for showing you something dirty. Everything’s fine now so it’s fine to ignore me and keep walking.”

“No, I can’t do something like that! Here, drink this. I’ve drank a little of it, but…”

She hurriedly took out the bottled water from her bag and handed it to me. Not only is she pretty, but she’s also such a nice person. After throwing up, even my make-up became a mess, even with that she’s helping me. I’m so grateful but my apologetic feelings still won in the end.

“No, but, it’s really fine…”

“Never mind that! I’ll give it to you! Also, your face… don’t move.”

I corrected my posture and sat on the ground and after handing me the bottled water she took out a cute looking towel from her bag. She sat in a half-sitting posture and approached me.

What? The moment after I thought that, she gently wiped the area around my eyes and also my dirty mouth I just threw up with. It was so gentle I couldn’t comprehend what just happened. Unconsciously, I strongly grabbed her hand. She screamed a little dropping the towel causing me to panic. How much of a good person is she?

“What are you doing?!”

“Eh, what do you mean…I’m wiping?”

“No, um, I’m just a dirty drunkard. Doing this will dirty your towel and, wait, rather I’ll buy that towel! And also, buy you a new one! I don’t have much on me right now, so I won’t be able to give you much, though…”

While I forced my muddleheaded self to think, this time, when I took out my wallet from my bag and searched for the money, she grabbed my hand. Her face was the same face I just made, one of surprise and panic. Why?

“It’s fine! It’s really fine! I don’t mind this and I don’t need the money either!”

“No, I mind! For now, here, I only have 1000 yen* but take it! This is because I was saved by your kindness…”

TL Note: 1000 yen is about $10

She was panicking and so I gripped the 1000 yen bill in my hand and forced it into her hand, but then she refused by saying “I can’t take it!” However, the strength from her delicate and slender body couldn’t compare with mine. She’s been so nice to me, this is the one thing I won’t concede. I won’t allow it no matter what.

“Really, it’s okay! Thank you very much! I’m moved you treated me so well. Even though you’re so beautiful and lovely, you took care of someone dirty like me, thank you so much, and I’m so sorry for showing you something dirty.”

I finally got up and grabbed the towel that was dropped on the ground. After thanking her, I bashfully averted my gaze from her, but then she timidly held out her hand that held the 1000 yen bill towards me. In contrast to her beauty, it seems she also has a stubborn side as well.

“No…um, I… uh… really don’t need it… I didn’t call out to you… for this…”

“Nope! That’s for the towel and as a thanks! I want to give you more, but I don’t have anymore bills and only have my cards on me. Oh yeah, I’m really sorry about this towel, and since it would’ve been better for you to throw it away, I’ll take it, rather I forgot, but it’s already the middle of the night so you should hurry home. You’re cute so you shouldn’t be walking around this late at night or you’ll be attacked, you know.”

I forgot that it’s already late. While I’ve heard of this place, I don’t know much about it. I’ll be sleeping around here but I first need to hurry and send her home. She reluctantly put the 1000 yen bill away and dubiously looked at me.

“Um, I’m… more concerned about you, do you live around here?”

“Oh, I missed the last train, so I’ll sleep around here and go back with the first train. I’ll be fine!”

After I answered her with a cheerful smile, she made a really surprised expression. Did I say something rude? I can’t really think with a muddled head.

“Whaaat?! What are you talking about? It’s dangerous to sleep here! You’re also pretty, you’ll be attacked if you sleep on the roadside!!”

For some reason, she had a threatening look and raised her voice. I wonder what happened. Even while angry, she’s a very beautiful and lovely person; I’m jealous. I sat on the roadside while thinking that. Come to think of it, I was tired. My body is at its limit and I’m getting drowsy. It’s still winter and I’m cold, but I probably won’t die sleeping here. I even have experience sleeping on the street.

“It’s fine, I’ve slept on the streets and at fields before. I want to go to a manga café or a hotel, but I don’t where this is and I’m tired, so I’ll sleep here. Thank you so much for today.”

“What are you talking about?! You can’t!! You were fine that time just by chance!! Never mind that, please stand up! My house is close by!”

“What, it’s fine. You don’t have to do that for an unfamiliar and dirty girl. Also, I don’t have money, I only have my card…”

“No, I don’t need any more money! Just hurry up and stand, please!”

“Please, just give me a break. It’s fine… I’m sorry, but I’m really tired so could you please let me sleep?”

While I’m mad, I’m also sleepy. When she saw me try to lie down, she pulled my body up to try and wake me up.

“Um, you can’t! You really can’t!”

“Like I said, it’s fine. When I get some energy back from sleeping, I’ll move somewhere else.”

“That’s not the problem! I-If you really plan on sleeping here then, um, uh… I’ll sleep here together with you!”

“Huh? You can’t! Definitely not! I’ll go so don’t do that!”

I was surprised because she was truly angry and so I instantly stood up. The girl who was just angry saw that and showed a relieved smile. Her smiling face was also cute, making me jealous once again. After she muttered thank god, she had a worried expression and asked if I could walk. Her expressions kept changing and it was very charming. My head throbbed even more after thinking that I had to walk again. This is draining.

“Um, can we link our arms? I feel bad, but I can’t walk straight and it’s even painful to walk in general.”

“Huh? …O-Okay…feel free.”

She was obviously shaken from this, but obediently nodded her head and held out her hand. I laughed a bit at her innocent behavior, but this is something a drunkard appreciated. Her kindness really touches your heart. This person is too kind of a person, I can only feel gratitude towards her.

“Oh yeah, don’t worry, my hands are clean.”

“I, I’m not worried about that.”

For some reason, her face seemed a little red. Did she also drink? I reeked of alcohol, so I wasn’t sure. While linking arms, I strongly clung to her arms and leaned on her a little so that I could carefully walk without tripping.
