Ch-2 (Liar)

I am a Liar. I lie all the time. I lie to myself. I lie to people and I lie to the deaf god.

We are taught that lying is a bad thing. Then why do people lie? 

To answer this question I would like to use a famous quote from Dr.Theodosius Dobzhansky that is:-

'Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolutions'

Everything we do, and everything we are is because of evolution, a beautiful ability of a living creature to evolve depending on the surrounding.

I pray to the deaf god every day. The prayer consisted of liars. The prayer was a lie.

'I made a mistake taking the bus'

I was standing in corner of the bus wearing my school uniform. 

The bus was a little crowded, mostly filled with students wearing the same uniform as me.

The bumpy road did not help me with my 'enjoyable' ride.

I have taken the bus rides because I wanted to experience a normal Life. I wanted to know what is it like to sit on the bus but I failed to calculate that I would not able to get a seat.

In anime, it was mentioned that there were no seats left to sit on. I knew this but thought that bus will have seats before the old grandma stop. 

'How lucky'

I put on my earphones and played 'My Brother'  from Berserk.  I glanced toward a sitting student who had brown hair. His eyes were closed. 'Ayanokoji, How lucky! This proves that I am really in COTE.' 

A long black-haired beauty was also sitting next to him.'Horikita'

I could not talk to them right now. I would be suspicious in that situation. Ayanokoji might suspect me of as a spy from Whiteroom and Horikita would...Idk say something like-'You have come here to sabotage me....right?' or 'Don't steal my brot- *cough**cough*'. 

To make sure not to look suspicious I also glanced at most of the students wearing school uniforms.

My attention was then grabbed by a sudden loud commotion on the bus. 

It seems the commotion between blond hair student and the office lady has started. Nothing really changed.

'Blond hair student's name is Koenji'

"You there, can't you see the old woman having trouble?", The office lady asked Koenji 'very politely'.

Because of the quietness of the bus, the lady's voice attracted a lot of attention.

"That's a really crazy question, lady.", replied Koenji.

Koenji continued, "Why should I give this seat to an old woman? There's absolutely no reason for me to give it up."

"Isn't it natural to hand over the priority seat to the elderly?"

"I don't understand. Priority seats are just priority seats, and there is no legal obligation for me to move. Whether or not I move should be decided by me, who is currently sitting in this seat. Will you give up your seat because I am a young man? Hahaha, that's a stupid way of thinking."

Koenji was someone who is brutally honest. Arragonat but brutally honest.

"What, what kind of attitude is that towards your superiors!?"

"Superior? It's obvious that both you and the old woman have lived longer than me. There's no doubt about it. However, that 'above' refers to height. Also, I have a problem with you. Even if there is a difference in age, isn't that an awfully rude and impertinent attitude?"

"Wha...! You're a high school student!? Honestly, just listen to what adults say!"

"It's fine, it's fine..."

The office lady was worked up, but the old woman didn't want to make the situation worse. She tried to calm her down with hand gestures, but the office lady continued to insult the high school student and looked like she was about to fly into a rage.

"Apparently the older woman seems to have better hearing than you do. Oh dear, I guess Japanese society isn't completely useless yet. Enjoy the rest of your life to your heart's content."

After arrogantly smiling, koenji put on his headphones and started listing to very loud music.

Koenji's self-important attitude annoyed the office lady as she tried to argue with him.

I have already closed my eyes and looked out the window. The scenery was beautiful and everything looked so...breakable. Everything looked unprepared. There were no guns, no preparation for war, and no destructive vehicles. 

A young girl passed in front of me, moving towards the old lady. 'Kikyo Kushida'.

Removing my earphones I looked towards the commotion. 

"This time it's a pretty girl, apparently I have luck with women today."

"Grandmother, it looks like it's been hot for a while now. Won't you give up your seat? It may be none of your concern, but I think it will contribute to society."

With a "pachin", the Koenji snapped his fingers.

"Social contribution? I see, that's an interesting way to put it. Giving seats to the elderly may be a way of contributing to society. Unfortunately, I am not interested in contributing to society. I only think about my own satisfaction. Oh, and also. In this crowded bus, you're asking me, who's sitting in the priority seat, to give up my seat, but can't you ask the other people who are staying silent and leave me alone? If someone truly cares for the elderly, I think that 'priority seat here, priority seat there' would be a trivial concern."

I thought to myself that 'If everyone was a saint like that then this world would have been way better.'

"Everyone. Please listen to me for at least a little bit. Can anyone give their seat to the old woman? Please, anyone."

Truly it was annoying to me. No one moved. People were already influenced by the attitude of Koenji. 

After the appearance of the young girl, a woman stood up. Unable to burden the guilt she gave her seat to the old lady.

"Oh, here you go!"

"Thank you!"

The girl then pushed through the crowd guiding the old lady behind her. The seat was just a little to my left.

After thanking the woman the girl just stood next to me, her face full of smiles.

The bus soon arrived at the destination and stopped at the school gate.

The gate was made up of natural stone. I started walking towards the gate attracting a lot of attention because of my beautiful looks.

I stopped in front of the gate and scanned it thoroughly. After all, I am a sucker for knowledge.

I was also waiting for Ayanokoji and Horikita's talk.
