Days have Passed since then. My luck is still as bad as ever, while my capabilities are obviously pretty harsh yet good on surviving some major accidents at this point. One example is yesterday, when a massive construction site got one of their cranes broken when I passed through it. The 6 meters long metal of terrifying destruction and death fell on me obviously. This time however, A Mixer nearby somehow blocked it when it almost hit my head. The state of the Mixer, was utterly crushed and flattened. I guess I used up my luck that time just to survive that.

Fortunately, even with all the unluckiness around me, Some things did change. One that definitely did is being friends with Anne. I even remember when last time I introduced her to Jeremy, He cried. Apparently, he thought that my luck would always throw off women and that having Anne is like using up all my luck already. He even said that I should cherish her or else I will be alone forever.

It's actually a terrifying thing to think about. I am just glad that he said it's just a joke because I might actually die early if I did used up all my luck.

Anyway, Anne is actually a good companion to have. She is nice, She's Pretty, And she's actually smart. I can definitely say for Sure that her intelligence isn't just for show. She is mostly the one reciting in our classes and also one of the highest scores in exams and stuff. Which is why She is reassuring to have because we are pretty much just normal guys that are average in intelligence. She is always there for us, which we are always glad for and more than willing to pay her back whenever we can with stuff like snacks or school stuff.

Especially since she is clumsy. Her things mostly are easy to disappear and she doesn't buy much snacks in the canteen because she's afraid that she might lose it or something along the way. Which is thus, why we are mostly the ones treating her. A way of paying back what we owe from the stuff she did for us already.

She really is a good friend. She does have her moments that makes my luck worsen in time to time but hey, she doesn't mean those so it's fine for me.

She and Jeremy actually make a good combo. The latter teases the former a tad too much most of the time though. But gladly, nobody actually got pissed off from the teasing, which I am more than happy about.

Despite all of that however, She's actually a mysterious girl. She is silent unless you attract her attention, she doesn't talk much about her life and about her family, and she tends to change the topic when we ask about her. I don't know... maybe its just because it's still early. I mean, a week or so of knowing one another is definitely not a time for personal life questions yet, So perhaps that's the reason. I and Jeremy decided not to force them for now since it's bad manners.

...and now, I realize that I am a bit like a stalker now with this amount of information about her. I swear I am not stalking her though. Seriously. I guess... I'm just observant? Or most likely I'm just bored.

A-Anyway, All in all, Everything is actually cool for once. Even I'm amazed at how fortunate I am these days. Yeah, sure. I am still as unlucky as ever. But an improvement is still an Improvement. And I am more than willing to get an improvement right now.

So perhaps, this time of my life may be my happiest I could have ever gotten. But maybe it's just me. I mean, I have the worst possible luck in the entirety of the planet. So maybe I just wanted friends.

I really am a pitiful existence aren't I?

Alright, let's go to the current story.

I'm currently on the rooftop together with the two of them. By them. It's obviously Anne and Jeremy. We just ate lunch together here and are now taking some time resting while looking at the blue sky.

Jeremy is more like trying to take a nap on the floor though. With both his hands acting as a form of pillow to his head while his right leg is nonchalantly crossed on the other. Meanwhile, me and Anne just finished packing up our lunch down inside our bags and are now sitting in a crossed legs positions. All of us just staring at the sky with no problem within our minds whatsoever. Pretty much just the normal silence of peace. Jeremy suddenly interrupts this particular silence with a question.

"Say... why did you choose to go to this school Anne? There are far more better school in the capital if you went here for the education. And this city is more of a town because of it's normal-to-low economy. So it really makes me curious... why here? Is it family?" Jeremy suddenly asked to Anne. I was amazed with his intelligent question, since I never really thought about it. For him to think about it that deeply even if he is an airhead most Olathe times, he must be really curious. Like, real curious.

Jeremy was always more of a random guy. Doesn't think much and just goes in the flow of most situations. This brings him a LOT of troubles, especially when he is just sometimes dragged to unfortunate situations that are my fault. At least I think so with this luck of mine.

One great ability of his that saved him a lot in those times though is his speed. Rather, his speed in running away. He runs, a lot. He really knows how run away from a problem, and to find help as quick as he can.

He is particularly one of the reasons why I'm still alive till today, he always finds for help whenever he notices something wrong. One thing that happens if you have a friend that can die any minute for 10 years. Lucky me that he got used to it, like everyone does. It was a pretty harsh life for us both, so it's expected.

Anyway, back to the topic. Anne notices and gets confused at the same reason that I did. However, that look only lasted for a moment as she replies immediately.

"Actually... It was because of my family's work. We kinda have a small business and this place was one of the lands that my dad bought. He then thought of focusing in this area for a year or two first before trying the other ones. So here I am, attending this school on my father's work." She smiles afterwards. Jeremy leaps up from the floor and placed his right hand on his chest.

"I see, I see. Nufufufufu, I'm actually here because I have a large influence in this city you know? I'm known as "The Unpredictable" thanks to my amazing abilities after all~!! So, if you want a tour then I'm always more than willing to do so for you Ms. Anne~" he said while bowing to Hannah.

This guy is trying to smooth talk her huh?.. He is right about that though he is known as "The Unpredictable" in a different way... He was even almost got caught by the police in the plaza in the past. The reason? For flirting as well.

"Is that so? I'll be looking forward to it." She said sweetly.

--------------------------------------------------------'-'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night.

Both I and sis are sitting in the dining room, eating what is known as a "mushroom stew". It was quite delicious if I have to say so myself. The flavor has a strange yet good thickness to it. Well, I'm not a food professional so all I can say is that since Sis made it then it tastes good.

Worship the holy maiden Alice.

"So, how's school Kylie?" She asked. It's pretty much the usual question that every high schooler would get at school. She also calls me "Kylie" Due to habit. It's a nickname I think I gained way when we were kids. She calls me that way as long as I remember after all.

"Umm... first, stop the Kylie thing... you know that's not my name sis. Secondly, school was fine. I hanged out with Jeremy and Anne on our breaks most of the time so I guess it was fun. Other than that, you already know the usual. I'm just fortunate that it wasn't that bad this time around." I pointed downwards after that, indicating my bruised knee and broken ankle. Knowing my usual recovery rate in the first place, it should be fast.

"Oh~? Now that I remember it, you always talk about Anne nowadays. Why don't you invite her?" She grinned while asking.

Now That I think about it, that's actually a good idea. And since she's new in this city, that makes it better.

"That actually seems like a good one! I'm sure she would love our coffee. Thanks sis!" I thanked her, grateful for the advice.

"No problem Kylie~, as long as I get to meet my brother's future- oh! Nevermind~" she giggles a bit afterwards and just proceeds to clean up the table.

I Wonder what's wrong? Is something wrong with Anne? Sis isn't really the strict type of person so I wonder.. meh, I guess I'm just imagining it.

"Oh right, Kylie, can you please turn off the lights in the cafe? I kinda forgot to do so... and can you clean the dishes as well? I'm gonna take some rest for now..." she stretched her arms and started to rub her shoulders a bit.

"Wow... were there really a lot of them earlier?" I asked curiously, since it's really rare even for sis to be this tired.

"Yeah... Mr Philip called his alumni today, so it was pretty busy... I'm just lucky that they didn't really made a mess on the tables... say Kylie, can you please massage my shoulders for a bit? They're kinda stiff today. " She asked while pointing on her left shoulder.

"Guess there's no helping it~" I said so as I went behind her and slowly massaged and rubbed her shoulder and back. Her moans and groans tells me that I'm doing a good job.

"Say, sis..."

"Oooohhh, right there... what is it Kylie?"

"... you sound like an old man you know?"

"Hahaha! That I know, that I know my grandson! Now, give your grandpa a good massage don't cha?" She imitated an old man's voice while saying so, to which I laughed at.

"Though seriously, sis...."

"What is it my grandson?" She kept on imitating.

"...please, don't force yourself." I asked her as serious as I can.

She stopped moving and looked at the floor. She smiled while she replied:

"I don't really have a choice you know?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Seeing these ornaments still here, it really brings back memories huh?" I mumble while staring at the antique wares around the cafe.

Sis slept immediately after I finished my massage, while I just returned from my dishwashing duty. Looking at the items around me right now, it's really a blast from the past.

The chandelier that we broke that dad fixed when I was 3, the painting of a blue flame on the left, the grandfather clock, and the cup, which is sis' favorite.

She herself even tends to clean it. Apparently, it's a gift from mom when she was taught how to brew a coffee. She gets really mad when someone else touches it too.

Well, thinking about it though, I have to admit that it's fair. Especially since where our parents are now.

I stare at the shiny wooden floor, ashamed at myself.

I hate this.. but I don't even know what I should do... no matter how much I think about it, it just makes me think that it would just be worse.

"... I'm unlucky to even have this personality in the first place..."

Giving the cafe another look, I turn off the lights.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, hey, HEY!! DON'T YOU FUCKIN' IGNORE ME YOU LOSER OF AN ASSHOLE!!"

A loud voice penetrated my room just as I was about to lay down the bed.

I turn around and believe me, I almost got a massive heart attack...

A red flaming orb is floating beneath the windowsill. Kinda like a St. Nick's fire: red version. There's even a bit of a cartoonish kind of face in front of it. The face looks really familiar too... that arrogant Face looks like..

"Why the fuck are ye lookin at me like that??! Want a fight you little bitch??"

Or so this thing says.

Yep, I'm sure I'm imagining things. Those delinquents are really rude aren't they? They must have beaten my head to the point of hallucinating their faces.

"H-hey, why are you lying on the bed, w-why are you closing your- WAIT ARE YOU IGNORING ME??!! DON'T IGNORE ME YOU BASTARD???!!"

I proceed to sleep while ignoring this hallucination casted by my tired mind, I really hope that this sleep would help my stressed self.

"D-damn.. guess I'll move to someone else- eh? Wait, eh? EEHH???!!! I can't escape???!!! Wait, WHY??!! LET ME GO YOU BASTARD?!! NO WAY AM I GONNA BE STUCK WITH YOUR STUPID ASS, LET ME GO ALREADY!!! DON'T SLEEP YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!"

And so I slept.
