I hate this world - *はこの**を*みます (Watashi wa kono sekai o nikumimasu)
Chapter 6
Let's have a flashback to a couple years ago.
To be precise when I was born.
My mother is a famous enka singer. My father is a genius musician. They met each other at a music event. Because their love to music, they hit it off pretty well. It doesn't take long before they get together. Few months later, I came out of "creation pot".
As their descendants, everyone have high hopes for me. Maybe I could sing well like my mother, maybe I could be a genius musician like my father.
Time flew till I'm able to speak my first word.
"Ma...ma..."
My parents looked at me with disbelieve. They immediatelly bring me to a "white man who could appraise sickness". I was "cursed". My throat only have a little passage for air. The result is my voice becomes heavy. Perharps it will be normal when I grow up.
Time slips again to when I was three years old. I was enrolled in a "children's garden" where children like me will play and learn accompanied by a "sovereign".
That "apocalypse day" come.
There are two games that is popular.
First, play house and roleplaying as a father, mother, son, and if your luck is bad you'll become the dog.
The second, as a country that is becoming the factory of anime and light novels, we have our own country culture mixed in it. Roleplaying as a knight, princess and the demon lord.
Of course I was getting the knight role. When I engaged with the demon lord who kidnaps the princess I said.
"Prepare to meet your end. I will send you to hell."
With that phrase said. Coming from my mouth. Spoken with my voice. All the children cries.
Since that day I have a title. "The Demon Lord from Hell". However I still aspire to become a knight. Everyday, I played alone. Becoming the knight, the princess, and the demon lord. The result of my absurd play is my "chuunibyou" mode.
Because of that, I tried to use "manipulation magic" to change my voice. When I am six years old I already mastered it so there's no problem anymore. However I refrain from talking with others. Maybe it's because of me roleplaying as the knight, the princess and the demon lord.
The knight is always been alone. He go to kill the demon lord and save the princess. In reality, the king doesn't even care if the knight is able to save his daughter or not. He could always search for another knight. Therefore, the knight is always alone, a cannon fooder, a fool.
The princess is always been alone. The day the demon lord caught her, she always refute and feel despair. If only there's a knight who will save her. He who is a handsome prince and they will live happily ever after. However, what if the knight isn't a prince and just a lowly commonner? What if the knight was ugly? Is the princess will marry them? No, she is a hypocrite, a dellusional person, and most importantly she was alone.
The demon lord. He was the majestic existence. He kidnapp the princess for no reason? Maybe he fall in love with her or wanted to have a friend. But people doesn't believe that he is a good person. He was secluded by villager, feared, bad mouthed. Maybe the reason he sent his demon army is to make revenge. Revenge for all who do bad things to him. He turned ruthless, cold, and alone.
Based on that, I always tried to be alone. Even if I become the knight, the princess or the demon lord. It doesn't changes the fact that I was alone.
I couldn't blame my mother or father. This "curse" isn't a disadvantages. It makes me realized that people couldn't accept those who were different from them. My voice is a "gift" for me to see the world clearly. However it is also the reason I hate this world.
Now, I won't tell that to the annoying girl in front of me. I use my "manipulation magic" and talk normally.
"What are you talking about? Just get out of here. You're trespassing you know?"
"Eeh? How could I be trespassing? You're here and I come in under your watch."
"Isn't a burglar is barging in to a house even if the owner is there? So, you want to get promoted from a trespasser into a burglar?"
"What? What are you talking about!"
She pouts and looks cute but honestly I've had enough of her for today.
"If you don't want to get out I will shout."
"3... 2...."
She looked panicked and hastily said.
"Stop! Stop!.. Alright.. I'll leave."
She turned her body and going to exit however she send a glance at me.
"However I won't surrender. One day I will reveal the secret of your voice. Afterall I have time, we're neighbour from today onwards. Bye!"
She left me there stunned. The fact that I will be seeing her at school is already disturbing my peace, and now outside the school she is my neighbour.
I really hate the real estate agent for selling the house. I hate that girl for living as my neighbour. More importantly, I hate this world that draw us together.
