"Every person in this world may experience something interesting even if they live an ordinary life".


Who said that? Well, it was me. Other people might differ in my opinion but I think that it's true. Whether it be a change of mind or fulfillment of one's desire, It's something interesting. Even I might get to experience something like that.

Hello, My name is Kaneko Fuji, age 19, living an ordinary life in an ordinary city with relatively ordinary circumstances.

If you asked me how many of my circumstances were normal, then I would say most of them are. Well, not all of them since I have a special case.

When I was in High school First year apparently me and my parents had decided to go on a trip. Where? I do not know. To be much more precise, I don't remember where we went.

The reason for this is that when we were on the way to our destination, a truck crashed into our car and sent it down a cliff. We were injured pretty badly and I ended up not remembering anything.

Even with how the accident took place, I don't know the details included. I just heard all of this from the doctor when I woke up from a coma. At that time I wasn't able to understand what he was saying but after I got a bit more stable, I started to get it. I had lost my memories and my parents with it.

I don't remember my parents. What a sad aspect of my life it is. I don't remember how I spent my life, my friends, my hobbies, nothing.

But I'm a very cheerful guy, At least on the inside. Let's not say that I don't have any friends to be cheerful with. It's the side effect of having Amnesia to deal with. I had tried to get my memories back at one point but I gave up.

Back to the point, My parents passed away in the accident and I was left alone.

During that time, I was emotionally unstable, unable to understand the feelings of those around me. Even if I didn't hurt them directly, I did nothing but stare at them in a daze as they tried to cheer me up. There was only one relative's Family I had heard that decided they would take me in. Apparently, He was my father's cousin. When I went with them, I found out that they lived in a tight spot. Both the wife and husband worked while they had a daughter that was in middle school.

I never had any known relatives, either they could have refused to take me in or there weren't any, to begin with except this good bunch. Uncle, that's what I call him. He's a peculiar guy. He's cheerful when he wants but gets serious when it involves his work or anything important. Aunt, is a very cheerful woman. She likes to cook food for me and her daughter and she always brings something like snacks with her when she comes back for work.

They love their daughter and they work hard for her sake. I think they treasure me highly too since my Uncle was pretty close with my father. They spent most of their childhood playing together and Uncle was the one who was most struck by my Parents' death. He also cried by my bed and told me not to worry.

Every time I see a picture which of the people that are supposed to be my Parents, I wonder, Is he, my father? Is she my mother?

Thinking about not knowing a thing about my parents makes me quite sentimental sometimes. I don't know why I feel that way but I guess it's the human heart that craves affection.

So I finally graduated from High school last year and now I'm an ordinary full-time worker, working to earn money. I live in an ordinary apartment that I rented with my Uncle's help and moved in.

The reason I moved out of their home was that they already lived in a pretty tight financial situation and they had a daughter that was in the third year of middle school. I had to stand on my legs and do something sooner or later too. Taking that into account, I took a step in practical life. Living alone was a bit troubling in the beginning but somehow managed and found ways to spend my time. Most of them are my manga hobbies and reading Novels. I also watch a lot of Anime so my life isn't that boring. I fantasize about me being in another world too sometimes. Although it's a silly thing to do, no one can stop me from doing so.
