Prologue: The Silver-haired Beautiful Girl and Me, Who Got Fired

Money, money, money─

Everyone knows that we need money to live, and I know that incredibly well. That’s why I work even on school nights.

In order to live.

In order to pay for rent, utilities, food, school fees, and many other things I need for school.

My parents died in an accident, so I had to earn all of these things myself.

If I had stayed with my relatives who offered to take me in, I wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble.

I couldn’t just trust those people who had flattered me for the fortune my parents had left me. They were the ones who hid their happiness behind the sadness of my parents’ death.

I didn’t want to live with such people, even if I had to pay for it. So I gave the money away to my relatives on the condition that they never get involved with me again──

“Hey, kid, you can take a break now.”

“Okay!”

The place I’m working at right now is a road construction site.

Since the construction was near the downtown area in front of the station, many cars passed by, and I was assigned to guide traffic to prevent accidents.

Of course, as a minor, I’m not allowed to work late at night.

The company was hastily recruiting for the job due to the failure of my predecessor, and it was a day job with no resume required.

I felt bad, but I lied about my age and applied for the job. My youthfulness got me the job, and now I was working here.

“No, it’s good to have someone young. You’re in college, right?”

“Y-Yes.”

“That’s nice. My back hurts too much to compete with you. Here, let me buy you a cup of coffee.”

“T-Thank you.”

Mr. Yanagi, who also worked at the site, handed me a can of sugar-free coffee.

Summer was approaching, and the cold coffee flowed into my body, which was burning from the thick work clothes I had to wear for safety.

“We’ll resume in about ten minutes, so I’ll be counting on you.”

“Yes…”

Mr. Yanagi showed a dependable smile and went straight back to where he gathered with his friends.

I felt a tightening pain in my chest at the thought of betraying someone who had been so good to me.

“… I’m sorry.”

Still, I can’t afford to lose this part-time job now.

I work at a convenience store during the day and traffic guidance at night. I have a minimum amount of time to sleep and to study.

If I calculated the amount of money I made per amount of time spent on it, it was pretty close to the limit.

After this, it was just a matter of how many hours of sleep I could cut down.

It might be a little easier if I slept at school, but I don’t want to consume my precious learning time with that.

“Ugh, that was close.”

Just thinking about it for a moment, my consciousness began to leave my body.

It seems that my fatigue had already built up to a level that I couldn’t ignore.

──At a different time.

In front of my eyes, two figures appeared to be arguing about something.

“P-Please stop this!”

“You shouldn’t say that… Hey, you’re so cute. Why don’t you have a night out with this uncle?”

A girl around my age, maybe a sophomore in high school, was tangled up with a drunk middle-aged man that had a tie around his neck.

The girl was clearly in trouble, and the middle-aged man was too drunk to think properly.

At this rate, the girl might be assaulted by the irritated middle-aged man.

I couldn’t ignore her now that I had seen her, so I took advantage of the fact that I was taking a break, left my post and ran over to her.

“Um, are you okay?”

“Eh…?”

The girl looked up, and her natural silver hair──rare in Japan── swayed slightly.

I knew this face, and I also knew this silver hair.

We’ve been in the same class since I entered the second grade, but I’m sorry. I wasn’t sure of her name, but I think it was Tojo-san.

I heard that she took first place in all subjects in all regular tests last year at our high school, a preparatory school. I heard that she was on the podium in tennis, track and field events. [EN: Preparatory schools are harder and usually lead to entering university.]

She is the daughter of the Tojo Group’s president, a large corporation that straddles Japan and other countries, and her silver hair is a result of her foreign blood.

She also has a figure that was so beautiful it made people turn their heads when walking by.

Such a person was entangled with a drunkard in front of me.

“What? Nii-chan, are you trying to get in my way?”

If I try to help her, this drunkard with unsteady feet will not keep quiet.

The smell of alcohol irritated my nose to the point that I felt like throwing up just by speaking one word.

He had a ring on his hand that glittered.

“Um… Are you okay?”

“Oh? What?”

“I think your wife would be pretty upset if you were drinking until this hour.”

The middle-aged man looked at his watch with a dumbfounded face.

The human body is a strange thing.

As soon as he saw the time, his face turned pale, and his drunkenness seemed to have vanished completely.

“Crap… If I don’t get home…”

After watching the middle-aged man stagger away, Tojo-san and I looked at each other in silence.

It was the first time I had ever seen her face this close up, and I was a little bewildered.

I almost thanked God for no reason, wondering if there was anyone in the world with such a good face.

“T-Thank you so much for helping me.”

“I just saw you getting entangled with him. I couldn’t stop myself.”

“Um… Did you get hurt?”

“No, I’m fine, thanks to you. Thank you very much for your help… Haruyuki Inamori-san.”

“How do you know my full name..?”

I’ve spent my whole life hardly talking to anyone except for a few of my male friends, as I always go home right after school, so I thought that no one would remember my name, especially Tojo-san, who is constantly surrounded by so many friends.

“I learned all my classmates’ names on the first day. To get along with everyone, that is.”

“Haha.”

“On the contrary, Inamori-san, you don’t remember my name?”

“Even though you’re someone famous, I can only remember your last name. My apologies. Your first name is a little vague in my memory. Um… was it Fuyu… ka-san?”

Tojo-san seemed down when I asked that.

However, she immediately lifted her head and squeezed my hand and made eye contact with me.

“My name is Tojo Fuyuki, which means ‘winter’ in Japanese. It’s not a very girly name, so I think it’s a little easier to remember. …What do you think?”

“Oh, no, I think it’s a pretty name.”

“… You are surprisingly good at this, Inamori-kun.”

Tojo-san, who looked embarrassed by the praise, cleared her throat to regain her composure and looked at me again.

“Since we’re both classmates in 2A this year, I would be happy to know you better.”

“Yes, of course… ─Ah.”

“What’s wrong?”

I broke into an unpleasant sweat.

When I felt his gaze on me, I turned around fearfully and saw Yanagi-san standing there, who must have come to check on me.

“Classmates in 2-A… You’re underage then, aren’t you?”

“Oh, I mean…”

“…That’s enough, don’t say anything.”

“…I ‘m sorry.”
