Two Months before the Tokyo Elite High School Student Admission Ceremony.
Shin walked in the evening after attending a Game Show Event somewhere. He was wearing a rather thick jacket and a blue scarf tied around his neck, in his hand was a warm coffee he had just bought. Then, he sat in the garden chair, alone with no one there.
He likes this.
Shin sat there drinking coffee for about 30 minutes, and there was a girl sitting on the swing. Either she had just regained consciousness or what, but it seemed like the girl had been sitting on the swing for a long time.
He had no intention of greeting her, perhaps he would be accused of being a pervert.
The girl stood up and walked towards .. where there was a little child crying, seemingly lost. The girl wanted to help the little boy, but it seemed that the girl had a hard time handling it.
Shin had intended to help her, but he did not know how to comfort a child. It was at that moment that he remembered that he had the Mask given by someone at the previous Game Show.
He put on the Mask and ran towards the little boy. His feet jumped and landed perfectly in front of the two of them.
"My name is the Masked Hero! The power of the Moon! Ready to save you!" Shin was styled like a Chuunibyou. Although embarrassed, but his face was currently covered by his Mask.
"Masked Hero?!"
"Yes! I'm right here! Are you lost, son?!"
"Yes, the Masked Hero! Can you help me find my mother?"
"of course! Because I'm a Masked Hero!" 'I want to die! It's so embarrassing.' "Then follow me, son!"
"Yes!"
Shin and the girl teamed up to take the boy to a nearby police station so that the Child's mother could be contacted. Needed to wait tens of minutes before the Mother came and brought back her Son, they also thanked Shin and the girl.
"Thank you for helping me." Say the girl.
"It's okay, because I'm a Masked Hero!"
"Fufufu .. Just stop that dialogue. I know it's embarrassing." The girl smiled slightly while hiding her laughing mouth.
"Ughs. Alright. And this .." Shin removed the scarf around his neck and gave it to the girl.
"No. In—"
"I'm a Masked Hero. I am strong and my job is to protect everyone. Accept this to protect you from the cold."
"..." - ".The girl accepted it and wore Shin's scarf around her neck. Now the girl was warm. After all, the girl was only wearing a uniform with a short skirt, it was obviously cold at night like this.
"Thank you, Masked Hero."
"Together! And, goodbye!"
Shin ran with all his might, his speed even surprising the girl. In an instant Shin's figure had already disappeared on the dark streets. But, the girl will remember this day at any time.
Meanwhile, Shin removed his Mask and saw his grimacing face.
"Dam. That was embarrassing. I forgot my coffee too."
Shin walked towards his Apartment with a listless face, without him noticing that someone had hit him, and that person fell in front of him. At that time he realized that what he hit was a girl.
"Oi, are you okay?"
***
"What are you doing here?"
"Hm .." The girl looked up, meeting the gaze of Shin who asked her. He casually replied. "I lost my house key."
The girl has smooth and long caramel hair, her body is like a high school girl in general, not tall or short, the point is fitting. She wore the same uniform as Shin, as they both attended the same High School.
"..." - ".Shin was somehow able to normalize this, somehow forgetting something natural to Humans. But what he couldn't normalize was the fact that every problem he encountered, why should a beautiful girl?
"You want to go to my apartment first? I'll make you some warm chocolate. The temperature here has also started to cool."
"Hm." The girl's gaze sharpened towards Shin as if it could kill him, as she currently felt somewhat wary and suspicious of Shin.
"I'm not gonna do anything. If you don't believe it." Shin took out a pen from inside his bag and gave it to the girl. The girl's gaze wondered what the pen was for, so Shin answered her. "If I do you a pervert, just stab me in the eye with it."
"!!" The girl was startled by Shin's reply, but thanks to this she had little confidence in Shin and her vigilance reduced a bit. If Shin did evil to him, he would fight him back.
"Come on."
"Excuse me."
Shin opened the door of his Apartment, revealing a rather messy living room. Food waste is everywhere, there are even piles of plastic contents that have not been thrown away at all. Fortunately there was a room freshener here, so the smell of the trash was not smelled at all.
"It's horrible. How bad it is to live a healthy and clean life." Said the girl blatantly.
"It hurt my feelings, you know. Well, even though I don't completely deny it." Shin took off his shoes and walked while collecting the scattered rubbish.
"Aren't you disgusted by all this junk?" Ask the girl innocently.
"I haven't been here in a long time, so yeah .. I basically forgot to clean it up."
"Not here? Where did you sleep before?"
"I have another apartment. There were my friends who used to play, I didn't want to hear the noise for a while, so I came here. Then yahh .. That's how."
The girl seemed to understand Shin's condition a little, but still the impression of Shin in her eyes right now was a bit bad, thinking that Shin was a person who lacked cleanliness. Then, he took off his shoes before going inside.
"I'll clean it up. Just wait a minute."
"I feel bad. I'll help you clean up, too." The girl put down her bag and rolled up her long sleeves, revealing hands as white as milk and as smooth as silk.
"Let me just."
"I refused it."
"I also reject your repulsion that rejects me."
Shin sighed for a while and nodded in response, giving in to the girl's wish.
They gathered the rubbish scattered in the living room, then swept the room and kitchen. It seemed that the kitchen was quite clean than the rest of the room, indicating that Shin used to use the kitchen very rarely.
All the garbage was put in black plastic and Shin brought all the plastic down the apartment, more precisely collected in a large garbage can, later in the morning also this garbage will disappear.
Approximately, Shin went back and forth in the elevator five times just to bring the plastic containing the garbage.
"Done too." Despite that, Shin did not look like an exhausted person. Even he only let out a little sweat, his hands were still powerful, as well as his feet.
Shin walked into his apartment which was very, very different from before. Everything was clean, in the middle of the room was seen the girl who was using the Vacuum Cleaner to make the room cleaner again.
While waiting for him to finish, Shin intended to make warm chocolate for the two of them.
***
"Finally it's done too." The girl sat down exhausted. It was natural, because the girl cleaned the room until it was completely clean to make Shin amazed at its nakedness.
"More." Shin sat down next to the girl and placed a warm brown on the table in front of them. Then he glanced towards the girl. "thank you. Thanks to you, my apartment has become very clean."
"It's okay. As long as you promise you won't dirty him as bad as you did."
"I promise."
The girl drank hot chocolate with a soothing face, followed by Shin. A moment Shin thought of something …
'Really too. We don't know each other's names yet.' Shin had just realized something very important. He looked at the girl and said. "By the way, my name is Sasaki Shin. Hello to you."
"Ah, right too. We haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Shiina Mahiru. Greetings to know too, Sasaki-san."
Shin nodded before his hand picked up the TV remote and turned on the large TV and attached it to the wall. The TV is on, broadcasting news of the latest happenings around Japan.
"May I ask, Sasaki-san?"
"Yes ..?"
"How many drugs are there in your room. Are you sick or something ..?" Shiina was naturally curious about it, let alone the amount of medicine was overwhelming.
"Eum."
"T - Of course, I'm not forcing you to answer my question. I'm sorry." Shiina felt disrespectful, so she immediately apologized.
"It's okay. To be honest it's not a problem I should hide either." Shin drank his hot chocolate again, thinking that Shiina was not a bad girl to look out for.
Although it sounded somewhat disgusting, Shin had always paid attention to Shiina's movements, even before Shiina entered her Apartment. Starting from the movement of his body to the change in the look of his face to his mood.
So arguably, Shiina was 'clean' of Shin's suspicions.
"Shiina-san, you must have thought that I was the son of a rich family after seeing my apartment."
"Well, it is. There's a lot of stuff that looks expensive here, and then there's a lot of toys that don't seem cheap."
"Like that. I am indeed a child of a rich family, of course it used to be very difficult to communicate with someone, because they looked at me high above them."
Shiina's eyes widened slightly in shock, but she understood the feeling. She was beautiful, not that she was arrogant, but this beauty made her unable to get closer to her friends, because they all looked up to her high. In fact he is called "Tenshi-sama" (Angel).
"It sure doesn't taste good."
"Rubber. Then I met a friend who became my best friend. We were friends for a few years before there was a problem separating us." Shin drank his chocolate back before continuing.
"The problem is getting serious and severe, caused by my father. He is someone I admire and hate. Because of that problem, my friend died .. in front of my own eyes."
"..." - ".Shiina fell silent and looked at Shin in surprise, but there was no change in expression on Shin's face.
"L - Then …"
"Yes, that's it. I was stressed and took medication to calm my mind. Even I drank alcohol."
"I - It's dangerous! For you and your body!"
"Y-Yes, but I've stopped it."
"In that case, from now on I will watch over you so that you can live a healthy life!"
"That's me—"
"This is my bud."
"No. You just helped me. Consider it break even."
"I refused it."
"Huh?" Shin did not know what to do with this sudden change, but suddenly the shadowy figure of his mother was briefly seen in the figure of Shiina nagging at him.
"understand?!"
"Yes. But if it's burdening you, better stop."
"Good." Shiina who had started to feel calm, sat back down while drinking her hot chocolate.
Shin could only be silent, but he thought this was not a bad thing. After all, there was a beautiful girl who was willing to take care of her for free. When he thought about it, he realized that he was lucky.
'I've got to play the Dating Simulation Game again. Maybe let Ishigami buy her a little so I can understand a girl.'
