Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 63: Beautiful Memories (Part 6)
Three years ago.
"Damn it!!!" A teenage boy wearing a Junior High School uniform and short golden hair kicked a pebble on the road he was passing through to scatter with a look of annoyance. "So, they're just using my kindness?! Since the beginning they had been planning to stab me in the back?!"
"Damn it!! Know that, I will never open my heart at all to befriend them!!! You insolent children!!! I thought their hearts were pure, it turned out to be just as rotten as the others."
The blue sky was adorned with white clouds like cotton. Those annoying traitorous words flashed back in his mind, making the veins appear even clearer on his face.
"He's been in our trap."
"He thinks that anyone would want to be friends with someone like him? Haha. It's so stupid."
"Don't do that, you're his friend, right?"
"Stupid. Anybody who wants to be friends with trash like him. I just tricked him. It is better to be thrown away and trampled. Haha."
"DUMB FAKE FRIENDS!!!" he chanted while kicking the pebbles on the street once again. Anger has completely taken hold of him.
Without realizing it, the Junior High has arrived in his own yard. A simple one-story house. The young man rushed to open the door. Roughly, the gate was opened. He wanted to open the entrance of the house, throw his shoes and bag, and lock himself in his room. However, his anger went nowhere as soon as he saw a golden-haired little girl tied up in a twintails model sitting in a wheelchair on the porch of his house. A smile was engraved on his tiny face. Apparently, he was about ten years old.
"What's up, brother?" sapana. "Why frown every day? It'll get old soon, you know." The little girl who turned out to be the younger sister of the teenager had tried to melt the atmosphere with her jokes. He's laughing a little. "Sister being bullied again?"
"I-Iranian ...." Seeing his sister's smile, he began to smile. "Well, that's how it is" he said, scratching the back of his head which was actually not itchy at all. He lay down his body on the terrace bench which magically instantly obliterated all his fatigue.
"Whenever a child tries to approach me, they always betray me in the end. To this day, I still haven't found a true friend."
"Oh, then, spirit!!" said the sister. "You're really awesome, brother. Even if all your friends have betrayed you, you're still sure you'll find a pure-hearted friend."
"You're more amazing, Iruna," said the teenager. "You have always encouraged me, when you yourself are in greater suffering."
"Ah, this is nothing" said the little girl named Iruna. "I'm sorry, I always bother you, brother."
"Don't say that" said the older brother. "The doctor said you were only temporarily paralyzed. It means you won't trouble me forever. You'll heal, rest assured of it."
"Yes" said Iruna. "I'll fight!!"
The elder sister lowered her head in a doldrums, staring at the terrace floor. His facial expression looked grim and sad. "Sorry, I don't have enough money to take you to the doctor so you can recover faster. If only I had worked harder ...”
"Don't blame yourself, brother. What can I do. You're, aren't you, just a part-time worker. You've fought your hardest to finance our lives. Keep fighting."
"Yes, that Junior Junior is me."
"I was three years ago."
"The most wonderful times, even though our lives are not at all adequate."
"At the time when my sister and I, Iruna, were very young, Iruna was involved in a car accident and ended up with temporary paralysis, so she could not go to school, could not even walk. Both of our parents worked extra hours to finance Iruna's treatment, but soon they both died of illness. We have no relatives and our grandparents are gone too, so I'm forced to take on the role of head of the family."
"Luckily, I got a scholarship because my brain was quite smart, so my school fees were fully borne by the service. Unfortunately, they couldn't cover my living expenses and Iruna either, so I worked part-time as a supermarket cashier. The money I got was enough to pay for my life and my sister's. But we can only live life as it is. We can only eat with instant foods that are not too expensive."
"In addition, the scholarship seemed to make my friends envious because I was treated with special care by the teachers. I am often a victim of bullying. Whenever a child approaches me, it always ends in betrayal. Yeah, it's a shitty law of nature. Should the strong always be in power and allowed to act at will and the weak always be oppressed?"
"However, I'm lucky to have a sister like Iruna. Though, her suffering was clearly greater than my suffering, but she was not desperate. He never thought that he was living just to burden me, nor did he ever think of quickly ending his life. His little heart was very strong. He hid all his suffering and despair behind his smile. Because of that pure and innocent smile, I can live the rigors of life. He's younger than me, but he can be that strong. If Iruna can do it, why can't I? My problem is not as big as the problem, why do I have to keep grumbling and complaining? That's why I keep fighting. In fact, perhaps arguably the only handle of my life is Iruna.”
"Haaahh, long-time sultry is also outside." The teenager who turned out to be a Junior version of Otomura got up from the bench, then stretched his body. "Now, let's go in. Sorry, today's lunch menu .., I can only make things available."
"No problem, brother. No problem." Iruna smiled, then turned the wheel from her wheelchair to move. He was behind his sister.
"I'll keep trying ...."
"For her sake ...."
"At least, that was my principle at the time ...."
