《RE:Origin》Prologue I

"Summer has arrived, huh."

I muttered under my breath while gazing at the falling leaves outside the window of my room.

Ever since I had become a full-time salaryman, there wasn't any time for me to have fun other than work after work. Though it wasn't as bad as those black companies out there, or at least that's what I believe, I also want some free time for myself!

I thought college was the last that I suffered, but I guess I underestimated society.

With a sigh, I tightly closed the window before heading downstairs to grab the bread I bought yesterday on the table. Because I'm the type that always ended up waking up late for some reason or another, I was prepared for such occasions after taking a few scoldings from my beautiful boss.

But today, for some strange reason, I awoke before the alarm rang it's first ringtone.

Yea, though it sounds unbelievable, it's true. Is this a sign? Am I going to score a jackpot if I buy a lottery today? With that useless thought in mind, I drove my car away from my apartment complex.

"No traffic's jam today either? What is going on here? Is it the end of the world?"

Since I'm in a good mood, I couldn't help but joke around a little. Come on, give me a break. The apocalypse jokes have been hot these past few weeks. Even the media couldn't stop themselves from inserting a few rubbish articles.

Looking at the high schoolers walking at the side of the road, I started to miss my cute little sister. It has been a few months since she became a high schooler. And during that time, I could only visit her once on her first day at school. I don't care if I get scolded by my boss afterward, my little sister took my priority.

Speaking of her, it seems that I still have time before my shift. It should be fine if I visit her, right? My boss is an understanding type of person, after all. She won't fire me if I were to be late again, right? Among my coworkers, I'm the most hardworking of all. Let's hope she let it slide with that in mind.

With a smile on my face, I change the initial path by driving toward the east. Wait for me, my cute little sister. Your brother would soon be there.

***

Public High School, Class A-1.

*Ring Ring Ring!*

"Alright, time's up. You can lea—you over there, don't run! The food is going nowhere."

The teacher warns her students immediately the moment she notices most of them are getting ready to bolt out of the classroom before she can finish her words. Though they appeared to be relaxing their shoulders upon hearing her warning, the next moment however, they quickly dash out of the classroom when their eyes caught the students from the other classes walking in the hallways.

The teacher sighed helplessly at her students as she shakes her head before focusing her gaze onto the paperwork on her desk. This is the homework she had given to her students yesterday.

While the teacher is minding herself with their homework, most of the students in the class had already left toward the cafeteria. Those that remained are only a few, Ayumi is one of them that decided to stay behind with her friends.

"Hey, didn't you say something about your brother being good looking and all? What's that all about?"

"Eh, is that true, Ayumi?"

"No way! You have a brother?"

The girl with silky black hair smiles in response, which dimples start appearing on both of her cheeks that makes her appearance rather youthful in comparison to the girls around her. Though that doesn't mean they are ugly, they are still rather average in their look department in comparison to her.

"Umm, yes."

As expected of teenage girls, their screams were undoubtedly loud. Fortunately for them, the teacher is too focused on her work to care about the interference from the outside world. The boys flinched in response to their out of nowhere excited screams. Some began to consider whether it is a wise choice to continue staying in the classroom along with a group of excited girls lest they want to be deaf young.

"Hey, girls. Do you mind me intruding into your fun?"

But among a few boys, there stood a charming looking young boy with a smile that caused the girls to blush furiously upon accidentally meeting his alluring golden eyes.

Nakamura Isamu.

He is simply not just good looking, but also pretty good in athletic activities. With his outstanding look and talent, it is given that young teenage girls would have a crush on him. A certain four eyes even managed to get the information that this charming boy has reached double digits in receiving confession from girls after a week he entered high school! Basically, he is the mortal enemy to all solo players in high school.

Most, if not all, would likely agree to his presence in their little group if given the chance. They are still young maiden that's itching to fall in love, after all. Heck, there's a rumour going around that his family's capital is quite the bomb. If they could somehow march their way into his family, they would be in comfort for life. Unfortunately for the girls, Ayumi is not one of them.

"No. We're having a girls' talk, right?"

The smile on her face disappeared upon hearing his words, which were replaced with stoic. Because she didn't bother hiding her displeasure at all, the girls flinched for a moment in surprise before nodding their heads when Ayumi were staring at them. As her friends, they knew that the rumors about Isamu confessing to Ayumi which resulted in complete defeat for him were true.

For such a thing to happen, the news should have spread to the whole school and brought trouble to her. However, that didn't occur at all since her friends were pretty tight lipped. If they were to spread it, it won't just Ayumi that would get in trouble as, even if they denied that they were her friends, teenage girls burned with jealousy couldn't care less about such a thing after all.

Most important of all, Isamu was pretty sly considering he found a spot where they were only two of them before his confession. He was prepared to get rejection all along, most likely, he cares a lot about his reputation. If the news of him, an outstanding teenage boy got rejected by a girl ruthlessly, was known to the whole school, he might end up becoming the joke of the year. It won't stop just in high school.

Once Ayumi found out about it, she was relieved that she rejected him. She still remembers the advice from her brother saying that such a person with that sort of personality is usually bad news.

Now back on topic, if the girls could sense her displeasure, obviously, Isamu could do the same. However, instead of being discouraged, he put up a smile as if her words didn't bother him at all. Just as he was about to speak his way out of it, he suddenly feels a strong hand gripping on his shoulders.

With a bit of annoyance appearing on his otherwise calm expression, Isamu turned his head back wanting to give a piece of him toward the rude person who interfered on his conquest. But instead of doing that, he was surprised to find a good looking red-haired man staring coldly at him.

"Do you have any business with my little sister?"

"Ryu-nii!"

Of course it is none other than Ayumi's older brother, Takahashi Enryu.
