Mayu POV

Sometimes, I regret my whole life. Other than being a paranoid idiot that’s afraid of being betrayed, I also end up in the worst situations. After sneaking out of Yuki’s apartment and leaving a note saying [thanks] and that I was going, that person caught me. It hasn’t been 48 days yet, so this person isn’t supposed to bother me.

“Nezumi, you should have told me that you were going to stay over at a friend’s house. I can’t just let you run off and let that girl make the cops do something. A-sama wouldn’t exactly like it that way. She might get into an ‘accident’ or some sort of thing like that.”

I sat in a chair tied up as I glared at that person. That person was tall and had short, boyish black hair and a black mask over her face. I don’t know her name, but I can tell that this person is a girl. She’s seemingly right hand man of the guy that is in charge. Basically, she’s in charge of me, so she owns me.

Why is it that I even care though? I don’t even want to get close to anyone. The reason would probably be because this person forced me to find a place to stay because of her stupid whims and now is acting like this.

“Now, now, I’m not stupid like the other yakuza out there, so listen to me or else there will be consequences.”

She put her hand under my chin and lifted my face up. It wasn’t that great due to the fact that it’s a bit annoying to breath like this.

I simply stared at her without talking. I’ve seriously changed in these 13 or so days. This must be the rebellious stage of life. Too bad I’m not going to live that far into it anyways. What a joke, I’m a dead person basically.

“Well, even though I find it annoying having to take care of you sometimes, I’ll be keeping you here for now.”

“…………………….”

“Hey, hey, just because you have about 35 out of the 48 days left doesn’t mean you get to just roam free.”

“…………………….”

The mask is covering her face. I can’t tell what emotion she’s showing. She might be lying to me. It isn’t a big deal, but I feel somewhat unpleasant like this. I have no right to complain here, so I can’t do anything.

This might be good for me. AKB has been making me act really friendly. I’m getting really confused and all. My head hurts. I can’t process all this. Emotions, I don’t need them. They create the basis of getting hurt, even if it’s not something like betrayal.

She opens a door letting light into the somewhat closed room. Though I knew that it was closed, I was too distracted to think about it. Now that I think about it, it was also dark. She exited the room and closed the door behind her. Right before exiting she saluted me with two fingers in a somewhat cool way.

Yuki POV

[Yuki-san.]

[Sorry, but I should get going.]

[Thank you for letting me stay over.]

[M Nezumi]

Nezu-chan isn’t here. I thought I had noticed her leave a bit ago. She left a note on my desk saying that she has to go. Though it’s a bit sad that she left, I’ve realized that she’s really nice. The [M] that was crossed out might be part of her name. I doubt anyone would be named Nezumi. Even though she’s like a cute little mouse, I doubt her parents would name her Nezumi.

Today, I have nothing to do.

Grrrrrrrr~

A loud noise comes from my stomach. Am I being too straight forward? There’s no one around, so I don’t see the urge to be embarrassed. It’s 10 in the morning. I haven’t slept this much for a long time. Even though I do get breaks like this quite often, I never seem to sleep that well.

“Hrrrooouu~~” I yawned in an abnormal way.

Well, I guess I should take a shower, change, and get something to eat. This world has something good in it after all. I wonder what will happen today.

“…………..” I’m probably too happy right now.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the good things though. I should probably text Yuko. Then again, I don’t really feel like it. She’s going to overreact the next time I see her after all.
