Chapter 01

I heaved a sigh before deciding to continue my path towards the mansion in front of me.

This mansion is belonging of my grandfather who never accepted me at all. I didn't even know what I'm doing here... I just... it's just that... so my cousin would stop pestering me.

In these clan male children are giving importance in everything, while girls aren't much exist. The girls are only born for infertility purposes, its fine right? At least they will still take care of you.

But its a different story if you born as first child and a girl. Its such a big deal about it. Like they never will accept a higher female even it will be in birth. And the consequences of this is your family will be look down, until a male child would come.

In my case I am the first born child in my family and the only female first born in this generation. Such a painful fate, ain't?

Surprisingly my 'dying' grandfather actually asking for my forgiveness and said that he regretted what he put me in just because I am a girl and first born.

Honestly? Don't wanna forgive him.

For such a stupid old tradition, my parents neglected me.

They treated me like a garbage, and never set a sight on my achievements.

But he is still my grandfather, just like what my cousin have said to me, and he's really sorry for every pain he and everyone have cause. What? He is apologizing for everyone?

I look at them, and hey look at that! They ain't feel sorry at all!

Yep, definitely no.

I no longer care if they would say bad things about me. After all, I have long left this stupid clan, I'm already living on my own now.

I want to go home now!

I wanna whine! I wanna yell at him, at them! I want to tell each of them about their stupidity.

But here I am, chooses to keep quiet and be cold to them.

Yeah, this might be better.

Who knows what would they do to my family if I free my inner thoughts, my inner anguish.

I have still little care for them despite that they never look at me as their child.

"There will be competition next month at Kanagawa--"

"Sorry, but I already quit skating." I cut him off, before biting my lower lip.

I can see the disappointment in his eyes when I said these words... but can he blame me? They make me feel that whatever achievement I'll earn, it's all for nothing. I'll be the always outcast.

"Please don't bother yourself for an outcast like me ever again."

After giving my final vow, I leave the mansion, much to everyone's delight.

While walking on the busy road of Yokohama at Motomachi Street, I'm munching on the bread that I bought on a bakery that I just passed by. I don't have any regrets.

I halted on my steps when my eyes caught a stray woman on side of the road. She's wearing dirty clothes that covering her head, the strands of her white hair is framing her wrinkled face and pair of worn off shoes. In her lap laying a tiny carton box which is not worn off like her clothes and truth be told: I find it strange.

I felt pity on her situation, so I decided to just give her my bread that I only got two bites on and my water bottle that half-filled. She tried to reach it, but she so weak and all, so I just put it in her hands and watch her to savor the bread and water while thanking me.
