First Chapter: Beginning.

Why am I not rich?

Why am I not good-looking?

Why am I not athletic like others?

Even though I put in a lot of effort over a long period of time to improve my health, it was all for naught thanks to a single illness.

Even though I put a lot of effort into my studies, they continually put me down, so all of my motivation was useless, and I once again came in last.

I hate myself for being weak due to my disease! I detest not having the courage to confront my bullies head-on! But whenever I met them, I would end up breaking apart time and time again!

Hence! I will come to end this life of mine...

Please forgive me, mom and dad!

I just wanted to scream that I was not wrong!

I wanted to tell them, Please don't bully those who are weak!

But it seems that my life has little worth! So, I just wish to ignite the last spark, even if it is caused by the end of me!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Kazuma read the note, he was overcome with a range of emotions. He became aware of how weak the character of the person who owned this body was as he read the last note written to his parents before he died.

"It won't spark anything, idiot! They won't learn their lesson in this manner and will even feel proud of their achievement of making you suicide like this, which will cause more of the students to be bullied by them in the future."

With a sigh, he commented on the note left by the previous host before burning it off by the side of the road and moving on to his house while his mind continued to consider his current reincarnation situation.

Kazuma Takashi!

He came to study at Tokyo High, a prestigious high school, on a scholarship since he was not a native Tokyoite.

This may have enraged the student who was in his lower class, which is how the bullying began.

Although he should also take some of the blame for being treated unfairly, he chose to maintain a low profile and avoid making friends.

He was easily turned into a target for bullying by those who needed a side job done for them and started working on him, sucking out all the money he had left.

Then, because he had no more money and his body made a good punching bag for them, they started to be rough with him by beating him.

The boy began to fall apart daily in the absence of support from his family or anyone else who cared for him, and one day he finally snapped out of his delusion, giving him the opportunity to reincarnate into this body.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Well, that stinks!" In the old room once more, Kazuma noticed that the previous child had done a terrible job of cleaning, so he started to get ready to wash everything while he was at it.

Additionally, he had brought the groceries from the market because he lacked the funds to purchase those prepared items from the store.

He was aware that it was thanks to the generosity of the grocery market aunt that he was able to obtain this quantity of vegetables to make something for himself.

"I need to earn some money, or else I might end up going hungry like this after a 2 to 3-day period." Kazuma was at his wit's end right then and there and could do nothing but curse the fools who had stolen all his previous wealth, leaving him in terrible financial straits even as a student.

'I'll definitely beat those bastards one day. Despite the fact that there are many ways I could torture him, I still want to fulfill his wish for my previous host's desire to make that girl my girlfriend, so I am left with few options.'

While thinking animatedly, Kazuma opened his room and put all the vegetables inside the refrigerator.

After 2 hours...

Suck! This stinks a lot!

After completing the whole renovation and cleaning, Kazuma weakly laid on his bed as he looked at the ceiling with a tired look.

After thoroughly cleaning the entire apartment, he came to curse the previous host bastard, who was unquestionably a pig soul in his previous life, for leaving the apartment in such a mess in only two months.

"Fucking prodigy of the pig-clan." After exhaling all of his steam, Kazuma got up to start cooking his dinner when he noticed that there was not much seasoning and some of the containers were already empty.

'How am I going to cook in this manner, that idiot? At least buy some kind of seasoning and spices.' When Kazuma thought about the neighbor next door, whose spouse was a teacher at his school, he began to shake his head and feel mentally exhausted.

'That is the only viable option for me, Huh!' Thinking so, he walked out of the apartment and took a deep breath, knowing that he was only asking for some spices and that he could return the favor in the future if necessary.

In addition to hearing a voice from the other side after ringing the bell, even though it sounded a little strange, he dismissed those concerns and continued to wait in silence until the door finally opened and a woman in her twenties peered out.

"Miss Nakano-san, good evening." As he turned to look at the lady's face, Kazumi backed up a little and greeted her politely.

When she realized it was just Kazuma, she smiled and opened the door a little more before he asked her to come inside.

"Please come inside!" She spoke with a voice that was a little bit soft and mature on the inside, which caused Kazuma to question whether or not her persona truly matched the female characters from the anime world.

[Target has been selected.]

[Nakano Mai!] [Rating: 2-Star! Difficulty-Level!]

[Target Emotion Rating: 5 Acquaintance] [Emotion Fluctuation: 15 (Calming down)]

"Eh!" Kazuma was shocked, but he maintained a serious expression because reincarnation itself had come as a big surprise to him and because unexpected shocks like that are now becoming routine.

"Sure! However, I was here to request some seasoning because my home's interior has been finished and I was considering cooking dinner."

Since Kazuma tends to be a lot more nervous around her and is now actually giving her a mature calmness, Nakano noticed a slight difference in the young man's behavior today.

"All right, come inside and wait; I will get them for you as well. Do not be such a stranger." Kazuma nodded as he walked inside, feeling strange for some reason, and smelling a strange odor coming from the other room, but he did not say much about it.

He took a seat on the sofa!

While Nakano walked into the kitchen and asked him about the study, Kazuma responded directly about his poor results without hiding them from her.

She encouraged him to work hard on the upcoming test, and Kazuma nodded in agreement, saying that he was also considering working hard.

Although he knew that he only needed to brush up on his Japanese, he did not anticipate finding high school to be particularly challenging given his past experiences with it.

Considering that this world resembles the earth in real life, Although the scale was much larger than before, Kazuma had a general idea of how little had changed in history, so he could only make an effort to learn a little about it.

"It's good that you are looking at it in a good manner." Nakano spoke.

Kazuma smiled! When he turned to look at something behind the table, Nakano appeared to catch his attention as well, giving her a slight flush.

However, when she looked back, she discovered that Kazuma made no mention of what he had seen and merely pretended not to have seen it.

'Did he notice it and pretend not to see that!' She gave it some internal thought, put the items Kazuma needed in it, and brought it back to him, giving him a stiff-eyed look as she handed him the packet.

"Thank you, Nakano-san!" Kazuma, who was also experiencing strange feelings, remarked that he was sure the object he had seen was a toy, the same toy that women had used in his previous life, and he had no idea that people in this world had the same habit.

"Then I'll be going back now!" Nakano blushed as he turned his gaze toward it as he left the apartment because she could finally tell that Kazuma had noticed it. However, he said nothing, and by the look on his small red ear, she began to feel increasingly strange until he left.

"Thank god! He is a good kid!" She muttered as she shut the door, went inside to get the object, and hid them in the corner room. She blushed slightly as she did this, but she made the decision not to use them for a while after that.

"What the hell! It was definitely a development from the Hanime, for sure." In order to make a satisfying dinner before going back to sleep, Kazuma said it aloud, gulped down some saliva, and went into the kitchen.

'Huh, this is really getting excited, although I am still a virgin in either life, right?'

Asserting that after finishing his meal, he went back to his room and fell asleep soundly until the sun rose the next morning and he finished looking at the various job sites that he had chosen to visit and check out for today.

Even so, there was only one job that paid well on the first day and there were none other than that.
