"Thinking"

"talking"

Now let's start the story.

Ayanokōji's POV:

That man, my father was ruthless. Oh well, it's not like I feel anything against him. However, I guess he did do something good today and that was giving me a gift for my birthday. But who really cares?

I was called to my father's office during an exercise. It was not anything that could not be skipped so I went along.

I left that white room following a white passage directly entering the black room. As I opened the door I could see a girl who was maybe something like 1 or 2 years younger than me.

My father was on his laptop looking at something, most probably looking at test scores from the last test. He did not even look up into my eyes as he was talking.

"Kiyotaka you will just listen no questions should be asked," said my father

"Yes sir"

"This girl over here is an orphan that I found on the street. You can consider her as a slave. I will be giving you this girl a present for all your birthdays. Though not out of generosity but curiosity. Use her as you please" My father said." By the way, you are free to leave this project as and when you wish. Though remember you will not be welcomed back."

"I can really leave this place. Really. Then I will leave." I thought.

I analyzed the girl that was being given to me. She was pretty with an Apricot Peach gradient hair and sparkling blue eyes. She seemed timid and scared. I asked her to come near me. She obliged.

"Sir I will be going to the dorm with the girl and I will leave by today."

"Do as you please." Was what my father replied.

I took the girl's hand in mine and took her to my room. I then asked her about her name and age.

She replied, "I a-am Ichinose Honami, I a-am twel-twelve years old."

Just as I predicted. She is a year younger than me. I then asked her if she was carrying anything to which her only answer was nothing. I told her to rest on my bed till I go and speak with my father to which she obliged. 

I quickly went back to my father's office and asked him what would we do without money.

He answered still looking at his screen "I will give you a few thousand dollars to leave but nothing more."

"Then sir I will leave now."

I went back to my room and ordered the girl to get up and follow me. She got up from the bed did I said. My father or rather sir met us at the exit and handed me the money. I quickly took it and left with the girl.

As I left, I saw what the world was like for the very first time in my life. But I looked at the girl behind me she was not that happy to see the light of the world. No, she was scared of even looking at people. I did not understand why so I just went ahead and asked someone if we could rent a house. He told me that if we went ahead there was a place where we could. I asked the girl to lead me to that place.

As we reached the store we both went in. I asked the first person I could find behind the counter if we could rent a house.

She said "Of course, you want a house for 2 people right? "No, I need a house for only 1." I replied

The person was not that happy with that but she showed me a 1-room house with a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

I paid the person the money required and then I and the girl entered the new house. 

I told the girl that she could sleep on the floor. Why shouldn't I? I mean I am very self-centered.

She did try to protest but she quieted down. I then told her that she would have to cook if she wanted to live here. She quickly said yes.

Suddenly I got a phone in my bag. I took it out and opened it. I then went on to the search engine. I saw that we could get into high school for free in a college. I then asked the girl if she would also want to partake in this opportunity. But this a favour I will do only once.

She was quick to agree.

Hi guys, this is the author here. I have rushed things a little too much in this chapter but I will go slower for the next chapters. So stay tuned for more.

Thank you
