The last thing I saw was an air conditioner.

🟠 chapter 0 : Prologue :

It was a hot day, so hot that the asphalt looked like it was seriously considering melting.

I'm Takashi Takeru, a 20 year old guy, and my simple plan for today was to watch anime in peace... but the air conditioning decided to rebel. Yep. That stupid white box stopped working at the height of summer hell.

I had only one option: ice cream. I left the house, slowly melting the atmosphere outside. In short: what's considered a "boiled egg" inside turns into a "burnt egg" with the first step outside.

I was walking toward the store, sweating profusely, when I spotted a truck speeding toward me. For a moment, I felt as if my life counter was about to zero, a familiar sight for novel lovers... Truck kun? Could it be you?

At the last second, the truck stopped, and my expectations were shattered. Well, of course, I couldn't believe it.

"Watch out, you stupid boy!"

Me?! I'm the idiot? What a jerk driver.

 Anyway, I bought the ice cream and headed back, savoring my first bite of victory on that fateful day... until I heard the same sentence again:

"Watch out, you stupid boy."

I looked up. This time, it wasn't a truck. I was standing in front of an electrical store, and right above me... there was an air conditioner about to collapse.

The store employee tried to save me like Superman, but he failed.

What a stupid employee... and what a stupid air conditioner.

And so, the air conditioner collapsed.

And the last thing I saw in this world...

was an air conditioner.
