Shizuku Aina's POV:
"Yes. I am doing fine." She was on the phone talking with one of her friends from school. She was asking whether Aina had any troubles since she had just recently moved out of the school dorms.
"No need to worry. Yes. Bye."
She entered her room after disconnecting the phone. Then she sat down on the sofa which she had taken a liking to.
It has been about a week since she moved out of the dorm to live with her parents and siblings.
It was Friday.
The exams for the second year were already over and she was sure she would get the first position this time as well. It was not overconfidence. At this point, this had become a routine for her.
She was, at the moment, alone at her new house.
Her elder sister had gone to a friend's house though Aina was sure it was not just a friend. Her mother was probably getting her body massaged at some massage center. And as for her father, he was busy at work and would

How My Life Was Ruined 035: Parellel World
There were flowers as far as the eye could see.Flowers of different colors, different shapes, with different leaves, and different petals. They were all beautiful.I was somewhere in that heavenly garden. There was no end in sight. Everywhere, it was just flowers and flowers. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, except for me.I was lost. I didn't know where I was.I was surrounded by such a beautiful sight but I wondered why I was feeling so sad.

I don't belong here.But there was no end in sight.But I had to go. I had to leave. I needed to search for a way to get out of this cruel paradise.I took a step forward.

How My Life Was Ruined 036: The Worst Start
You are probably well aware of this feeling.Imagine you are completely lethargic. You don't have the energy to say anything, do anything. Heck, you don't even want to breathe. And you don't have the energy to die. The most irritating part? You don't know the reason why you are feeling this way at all!I was walking leisurely on the stairs with the destination being the third floor.While I was thinking that the school should install a lift for days like today, someone called my name."Good morning, Kageyama.""Good morning. Why are you so full of energy this early in the morning, Yamamoto?" Slightly jealous of the sheer amount of vitality he was exuding, I asked in an irritating voice."Huh? That's my question? Why don't you have any vigor? It's just the first day of the new term and the prospects don't seem that good for you.""Whatever.""Ha-ha-ha." For some reason, he started to laugh loudly and it grated on my ears. I coul

“I don’t know what I should call you. Lucky or…”I completed in Yamamoto’s stead. “Call me unfortunate.”“Most boys would kill you if they heard your answer.”That was true. They would without a doubt come for my head. It was all because of the seating arrangement. I was surrounded-err-no-cornered by three girls. Namely Ito Yua, Shizuku Aina, and Nakamura Yui. These three were, without a doubt, among the most beautiful and charming girls in the school. Boys would literally kill each other if it meant they could sit next to even one of them. Imagine being cornered by all three of them. Heaven, right? That would be what most boys will believe. But not for me. It was hell. Like, literally. Aina was someone who was always looking for a chance to argue with me and Ito had feelings for me (though it is likely that those feelings were all but gone now. However, there is a possibility that she would remembe
How My Life Was Ruined 038: Foolish and Childish
After resting for two whole periods, I was feeling a bit better.When I returned to the class, Yamamoto asked about how I was feeling. He was joined by Nakamura and Ito. Seems like Yamamoto had told them about what had happened.I assured them that it was nothing serious and they didn’t need to worry.Aina did look at me once but must have concluded that I was fine while I was talking with Yamamoto and the others. So she didn’t ask me outright.One more period was left. I got through without much problem.I was packaging my things to head back home when Aina called out to me, “You are looking fine.”“Yes, I am. No need to worry.” Oh? She actually was worried about me? How nice of her.I got up with the bag slid over my arms. She looked at the bag and then at me. With an expression that said she wasn’t understanding what I was doing, she asked. “Where are you going?”“E

The four of us drank our tea in silence. As always, the tea Matsushita made was top-notch.“Now, let us talk about what we need to do moving forward.”Thus began, the student council meeting.“As you know, we have about three months left.”Matsushita had told me before that the third-year students who are on the student council have until their first term exam to be part of the council. After the exams, they will have to hand over their position to someone else. Since the exam will end at late July, we have about three months remaining.“After that, we will have to hand over our positions. That means after three months, there will be a new student council president and vice-president.”“Yes.” Tanaka replied. By the way, Tanaka was the vice-president.“As such, I want to elect the future candidates immediately and get them used to the inner workings of the council.”All

By the time I had finished shower and having dinner, it was already seven in the evening. The days have started getting longer and although it was getting dark there was enough light to see things in our close surroundings. Resting my hand on the railings of the veranda and looking at the nightlife and night vision of Tokyo after dinner had become something of a routine for me. This was, for me, the best part of every day life. As I was drowning in the tranquility of this darkness, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated. I was already annoyed at the fact that the message that was just sent to me had disturbed my peaceful moment, but when I looked at who the sender was I was even more irritated. Without even checking the content of the message, I put my phone back in my pocket. It continued vibrating for about eight more times. Usually, she would give up after I didn’t respond fpr five minutes but today, she was acting weirdly stubborn.
How My Life Was Ruined 041: The New Member
Two weeks later.The four members of the student council were again assembled for a meeting.Tanaka was looking nervous and although not as much as him, Matsushita also had a curious look on her face. I was the same. I didn’t care who it was but I had the bare minimum curiosity to know the identity of the new members.Aina, who was sitting on her chair, looked at the three of us.“I conducted the interview a few days back. There were many candidates that caught my eye and were more competent than others but they still didn’t manage to impress me enough to let them be a part of the council.”“Even the ones I mentioned?” Tanaka couldn’t help but ask.“Yeah.”“No way…” Tanaka couldn’t believe it.If the ones he listed were one of the best from the junior classes and even they weren’t enough for Aina to consider them, what does that mean? Were they

Kageyama slowly closed the door.The room inside was messed-up.The atmosphere was also completely messed-up.The storm named Kageyama Kage had completely demolished and destroyed the environment of this room.“H-Hey, can you get up?”In all that silence, Tanaka was the first to speak.He got up and extended his hand to Miyamoto who was still on the ground.Miyamoto, who was cradling his head, looked up.“Ah, thank you very much.”He, with the help of Tanaka, slowly got up.He led him to the sofa and by that time Matsushita had already started prepping for the tea. It didn’t take long for the usual delicious aroma to fill the room. She, as usual, made four cups of tea and served the four students present.“That guy, I really hate him!” Tanaka balled his fists and slammed the table hard. That startled Aina, and she barely saved the contents of her cup from spilling.<
