Episode 1 – The Beginning

A Cheeky Junior Denied Me My Entire Life, so I Tested What Would Happen if I Jumped off a Rooftop to Vent My Anger

Unfortunate things do happen, they do overlap.

Sleeping in in the morning. Tripping over a stone on the way to school and falling. The teacher pointed at me in a place I didn’t understand. The bread from the store sold out right in front of me. I was unsuccessful in a drawing contest. I was told that if I didn’t do something, my scholarship would be terminated.

I was kicked out of my relative’s house. I saw my childhood friend, who I was supposed to be dating, walking hand in hand with a guy I thought was my best friend.

Everything was going wrong.

As I could only look up at the dim sky on the rooftop to escape such an unpleasant reality, she said to me with a joyful smile on her face.

“Senpai is a real disappointment, isn’t he?”

Before I knew it, standing behind me was Kamiya Yana, a junior member of the same art club. Her light purplish black hair, which was cut at the shoulder, swung in the wind as she laughed with a face as if she was making fun of me.

“You entered the school as a special art student, but you’ve been in a slump for over a year now and haven’t painted a single picture.”

She was right, and I couldn’t argue with her.

“Touyama-senpai, a friend of mine, won a prize in a contest the other day.”

……That’s right. He’s always ahead of me.

“Moreover I heard that Touyama senpai is going out with Usa-san, whom you have a crush on.”

Indeed, today I saw the two of them walking hand in hand, looking friendly. …Or rather, it wasn’t just unrequited love, they were supposed to be dating.

“………….”

Not being shocked much was probably the most shocking thing of all. I don’t have the …… energy to live anymore.

“? What’s wrong, senpai? You’ve gone silent. Are you too shocked to say anything?”

Kamiya-san slowly approached me. I unconsciously backed away and hit the fence on the rooftop. There was no escape.

I said in a voice so dry that even I was surprised.

“Nothing, I’m not shocked. I just felt like I didn’t have anything more to say.”

“…..What’s that. Are you just being a sore loser again, as usual?”

Hearing my cold words, Kamiya-san scowls sullenly. She always makes fun of me, but she had never responded so bluntly. I guess she didn’t like that.

I let out a small breath.

“Anyway, I’m tired. I don’t have the energy to be a sore loser.”

“Then why don’t you quit painting?”

“…… I’d like to. I have a scholarship to pay, so it’s not that easy.

“But you don’t have any talent, do you? You won one great prize in junior high school on a fluke, but other than that, you have no talent at all.”

“Haha, don’t say such a terrible thing.”

“But it’s true, isn’t it? All the girls in the art club say the same thing you know?”

“Maybe that’s right …….”

My reputation in the art club is terrible. I received a scholarship because I don’t really draw well, and my relative is an acquaintance of the president, so he has given me a lot of benefits.

I was always talked about behind my back as a man whose only merit was his connections. I’m sure that Usa-san and my best friend Rengo, who were supposed to be in a relationship, are different, but I’m sure they are saying bad things about me behind my back, too……That’s enough. I’m tired of it.

I don’t care about any of it.

“Uwaa, It’s starting to rain. …… is the worst. I’m going to go now because nothing good happens when I’m involved with people like you. Actually, we’re going to have a wrapping party with the rest of the art club.”

“…… wrapping party?”

“Yes, that’s right! We will be celebrating the recent contest and celebrating Touyama-senpai’s winning the prize! …Ah, sorry. Senpai wasn’t invited.”

“I wouldn’t go even if I was invited. I wouldn’t go to my rival’s victory party”

“…… Eh? What are you talking about, senpai ……? The first is the one that has won many awards and is loved by everyone, and the second is the one that has nothing but connections! It’s not even fair to be so arrogant!”

Kamiya-san laughs. She laughs, looking really happy. …I don’t even feel sorry for that, and all I can do is look up at the sky covered in thick clouds.

“Then, I’m leaving now, okay? If you don’t do your best, senpai, you’ll be abandoned by everyone, you know?”

With that, Kamiya-san walked away from the rooftop, and I, left alone, pounded on the fence as if to vent my frustration.

“Shut up, idiot! They all say whatever they want!”

The rain intensifies. Even the sound of my anger is swallowed by the rain. Feeling as if the world hates me to the very end, I slam the fence again.

“No matter, I hate this world too.”

I climb the high fence that prevents me from jumping off. The rain makes me slip and fall, but I don’t care. There is nothing to be afraid of now.

“Hahaha. Don’t let this one thing go wrong. ……”

I thought it wouldn’t work anyway, but the next thing I knew I was standing on the other side of the fence. …., I don’t have to wonder anymore.

“……Sorry, Dad, Mom. I can’t do it anymore.”

With those last pathetic words, I jumped off the rooftop. And so, from this point on, the reversal drama of Aoi Susumu started …….

[TLN : Jealousy, Yandere, and Regrets…..this will be fun hehehe]
