Vol 1 Prologue (1/2)

Prologue 1 - I messed up

As great as it was that I raduate, it was a black coain and again for five years, until one day I unfortunately died as I approached my 30s

That day, I was in a hurry because an unfortunately broken alar; and round et If I got there late I was 120 sure the boss as all talk and did nothing but still took all the credit would be givingfor all eternity, so I ran with all ht

A ate It would have been incredibly convenient if the platfor to that train required one to walk for a while even after getting past the gate I could probably barely make it in time, and if I missed this I’d be late for sure, so I couldn’t afford to lose it

The announce

“shi+t!”

I was running down the stairs skipping one step at a time, and then I’d have to cli to the platfor wouldn’t help but if it weren’t for these stairs I’d easily be getting there in time

The train’s departure is announced And there I was still cli those other stairs Please don’t rush in while the doors are closing you say? If I don’t do that I won’t make it!

Still cli I was now met with a not-setting off the train -- continuing in a straight line was i everyone and the train entered my field of vision Luckily there was some time left after the announce

(I'onna make it!)

Thinking that thought as I kept running I saw solance I would realize it later but this was in its truest sense the deciding moment

Nearby, to be precise a few steps ahead of irl like you’d find anywhere had slipped on the wet stairs

Froht of white panties Polka dots

That girl had a blank expression on her face, not realizing yet what had happened For so for me in slow motion, so I could see even that small detail

And I just instinctively knew it If I left it alone this girl would coet hit everywhere and die I’ve never had great foresight, and there were no signs I’d ever have it If I had that sort of ability I probably wouldn’t have gotten nothing but red lish

But for some reason, this time I was very sure ould happen; I could clearly see the scene floating in my mind

What to do, that thought did not even occur

Before I was thinking anythingthere would have been a cootten into the train to be at the company on time, and worst case, the train would’ve been stopped because of the accident and I’d have gotten a good excuse out of it I didn't have tis

Iforward one step to the left With that step the grazing of clothes that would’ve happened fro pastinto me instead

The result was obvious Having used all the force I could round, and as if being carried away by the girl we both started falling down the stairs together

The slow an to rapidly accelerate began to rotate at high speed too I didn’t knoas what anymore

But even in that situation I soirl’s body and head, desperately trying to protect her

Don! That dull sound rang and my field of vision went dark It seems I’d fallen to the very bottom

I openedonthat looked like a serious injury on her I then looked around at s in a dazed and dumbfounded state How I’d ended up in this situation wasn’t so I immediately understood

Anyway it was good that she was safe The effect of pushi+ng your body

But, I had taken the full hit and nowon me so that much seemed obvious

For the ti I tried to ask her to move but my mouth didn’t ellSoroan

(What? My vision is )

It's beco

The girl’s eyes now met mine, and as I realized that she immediately let out a horrified screa in a way like you just encountered a pervert, really hurts As I was thinking that

A gushi+ng sound came from the back of my head

Because I couldn’t move my body I could only turn e red puddle cae that I didn't see this puddle earlier

People started to gather around I wanted to get up quickly so I wouldn’t cause a scene but like before my body wouldn’t move I had no control over it at all

The station staff caht?You can tell that without asking I’m completely, absolutely fine I hit my head but I’m still fully conscious

Hit ht?

That's right, at the end I re impact to the head It's easy to predict what happened after my head was hit

Then, fro up cushi+oning the girl’s fall too on top of that It was obvious what the natural result would be

(Ah, this, it’s my blood isn’t it?)

The red puddle; that was so that ca heavily from the back of my head

(Is this… death?)

The consciousness that was so clear before was steadily fading; it seeht? That it’d be that way And to think I would die while saving a stranger

While thinking of that I was strangely calm

I just felt it was annoying to die here like this This way it only looked like I got dragged into this and died I was intentionally trying to protect that girl I didn’t regret my decision

Maybe that was just because this hat the true feeling of death was like, but even so it was still better than havingable to die satisfied like this was the greatest happiness

I wanted to just sleep like this, but I saw the girl on ed irl would definitely end up thinking someone died because of her

Me dying was the consequence of my choice and not her responsibilityIn truth, I’d always had the choice of letting her die and going to the company

Even noas actually thinking of going to the company; I really was a corporate slave Sheesh there was no helping me

That's why, I th
