1 Chapter 1: Prologue in how we met

It's very unusual for me to do this but I currently planning to go to school. I'm usually inside my room and slack around After all, people around me address people like me as hikikomori.

people these days look at us like trash in society but that doesn't bother me. As long as I can live peacefully. My name is Satome Yuto. Living in a place not far from the city called Kaminari city.

My motto is very simple, I just want a normal peaceful life. I decided to go back to school because I saw an article saying that people who didn't have any educational attainment will find it hard to get a job.

While in my room, I turn my glance to the picture of my little sister.

If I continue wasting my money I will become pathetic in the future. If my little sister is still here she will probably scold me and hate me for being a hikikomori. Realizing that doing nothing will result in nothing.

I, Some Yuto decided to restart my life.

Before I leave my apartment, I checked my things if I forget something.

"Yeah, my pencil and notes."

After putting my pencil and note, I open my door and leave.

Living in a small apartment near the school makes me save lots of money. the apartment is small but also very cheap. Perfect for a poor student like myself.

Currently walking to school. I sense something wrong. It's the feeling that someone is staring at you. I turn my head around and look. I saw nothing and thin about it.

Well, maybe it is the side effect of being Shut-in for a long time. I should ignore it.

Arriving at my class and it's expected that few classmates don't know me. I'm a pathetic man after all. I have no friends, No one to talk in the room, I behave myself and don't put my nose in any trouble. Some of my students always say something bad behind me, but I also ignore it. I don't expect much about them.

Currently,y 3rd-year high school in Saint Gabriel High school. Just one more year and I'm graduating. If I survive #rd year I'm planning to work. I still don't know what to do in the future. I think I will use this year to think about it.

My little sister's last words. Live with no regret, Living your life to the fullest.

While thinking that...

"I feel that someone is staring at me."

It makes me feel uncomfortable and I immediately turn my glance behind me and look around. Looking at my classmate's face, I found everyone is very busy. Maybe, it's just my imagination.

The class is over.

Like the usual scene, my classmate form groups. Some will go to their clubs, some will go home and some will go somewhere else. Me who is still on my chair check everything in my bag and desk.

I'm not very good at socializing and I'm too shy to stand up in any people. I wait for everyone to leave before I decided to leave.

"It makes me uneasy when there are too many people."

After everyone leaves and the silence fell to the classroom. Not just in the classroom but in the whole school. I stand up in my chair and get my bag.

Now it's easier for me to go outside. There are almost no people here after all. As I open the door and I notice a girl.

A pretty girl with blonde hair. Her eyes are blue like the ocean. Her cheeks are a little rosy. She looks pretty young and she's wearing the ribbon of a first-year student. She's waiting in front of the door of my class like she is waiting for someone.

She is a pretty but pathetic man like me and has no chance to have girls like her. Approaching her is a dumb thing to do.

I ignore her and continue walking.

As I walked in the hallway, the girl started walking in the same direction as I am.

At first, I thought this girl is just walking the same path as I am, as I change my direction and go to the science room without any plan at all.

She enters the science room.

I go to my classroom again and she follows me again. What is this girl's deal? And without a second thought, I run away. I run away in a random direction in the school building.

The blonde girl chased me with a terrifying eye's

"What is this? What's happening?"

I have no idea. Going up to the staircase to another floor. Running toward other buildings. The blonde girl is still chasing me.

She got a fixed gaze on me!

I heard about this kind of person.

While I was eating my dinner last night. I saw the news about a girl obsessed with a man she loves the most and decided to kidnap him and do stuff with him. Formasochistst is okay, but for a normal man like me, it's absolutely not okay at all.

They are called stalkers, the people always follow the person they like and became violent because their love for that person is too much.

In short, Stalkers are crazy peoples.

I turn my head to the girl chasing me.

"Scary!"

That is the only word that matches that description in my vocabulary.

To think there are people like this is scary. Why a girl like her is chasing me? I don't even know her.

While running in the hallway. I saw chairs and tables in the corridor. I decided to slow her down by making an obstacle with the chairs and tables. After that, I continue to run.

With delighted expression I celebrated. When I saw her having trouble with the obstacle I make. As expected my plan work and she is slow down.

It's my chance. I go to the nearest boys' restroom and hide in the toilet. Thinking a girl can't go to the boy's restroom. I calm myself and relax. With few minutes that girl will go home. Sitting in the toilet bowl.

I make a sigh of relief and as I look up.

"Found you..."

She said like in a way a monster in a horror movie who is searching for the protagonist.

"Gahhhhhhhhhh!"

I scream in fear and Stand up to open the door. But It's too late. The girl jumps to me and cornered me. She sits on my body and looks closely at my face.

She's scaring me. What is this? This is not a horror movie, right?

"Somebody help me! Somebody!"

As I scream for help, She grabs my collar and slaps my face.

"Ouch... What is that?"

"I just clam you down... Puhehehe you look pathetic earlier hehe..."

She said while laughing loudly.

It's our first meeting but she is acting like that. This girl is annoying.

"...Hehehe you're funny, don't worry I won't eat you... It's our first meeting so I'll introduce myself. My name is Alice Harusaki and I'm an aspiring light novel author..."

Light novel author? This confuses me more.

"Then why did you chase me? And by the way. Is it really okay for you to talk with me inside the boy's restroom?"

Well, our position is kinda kinky.

"There nothing wrong in this we're just talking, there is nothing wrong in this or maybe you are thinking something."

My face turns red as a tomato and I immediately turn my head away.

This girl is careless, She doesn't think the possibility of someone might see us in this position, they might think we doing some erotic act. That news will spread in the entire school and my last year in high school will be destroyed. My classmate will start bullying me or something if they find out someone like me did this to a pretty girl.

I'm overthinking it, I'm a virgin and composed on top of that. I'm proud of having control over my body.

I clam myself and asked her.

"Then why did you chase me again?"

The girl makes a weird pose and said:

"That is because I'm striving to be an author and I need a good illustrator for my light novel, That's right that is the reason I need your help to be my illustrator, and together we will become the number one light novel artist in this country... Sounds cool right..."

I'm totally skeptical now. Also, that pose is like how people in Jojo's bizarre adventure introduce themself.

"... I saw your illustration in past years in the Art club that also disband last years and that illustration makes me motivated to write stories... so here I am now, I'm inviting you to be my workmate..."

I see so that's it.

"Thank you for complimenting my work and thank you for your invitation. I decided to live a normal high school life and Work after this..."

I refuse her invitation, I'm not drawing anymore.

She makes a disappointed expression and replied:

"So your not gonna help me..."

I feel bad for her but I have no choice. I tried to stand up and ready to make my way out but she pulls my sleeve and shouted.

"I won't give up! I will make you agree! I will become my partner!"

"Partner?!"

"Yes, partner!"

She said and start shaking my body.

"Hey stop moving your hips like that... If someone sees us."

Someone heard her loud voice and see us inside the comfort room.

It's the janitor?!

"Hey what is happening?"

The janitor's face became red and saw how Alice moves her hips on top of me.

"I understand your feeling youngsters... Sorry for disturbing you..."

The janitor leaves.

Alice and I face became red and protested:

"That's not it!"
