1-Prologue




 I'm ---- Yuuya Tenjou, and I'm being bullied.
 It's not the first time this has happened.
 I've been ...... bullied since I was in kindergarten.
 No matter how much I begged them to stop, they kept escalating the abuse, making it even funnier, and no matter how much I told the teachers, they wouldn't even listen.
 No matter how much I told the teachers, they wouldn't even listen.
 It would have been better if I had only been treated badly by the people at school and the teachers.
 But I didn't even get any love from my family.
 I think they loved me right after I was born.
 After all, I was my parents' first child.
 But that was as far as it went.
 My face was getting uglier and uglier regardless of my intentions.
 Even though I ate a normal amount of food, my body was getting fatter and fatter.
 I even tried to lose weight by exercising.
 However, as if to ridicule me, my weight kept on increasing.
 I hadn't changed the amount of food I was eating.
 It might be some kind of disease.
 By the time I thought that, ...... my parents' love for me was completely gone.
 My twin brother and sister were born.
 Both of them had beautiful faces that looked nothing like mine, and my parents lavished a lot of love on them.
 My treatment of them changed drastically.
 For meals, only the twins were given good food, and I was just given the leftovers from yesterday.
 I might have been lucky to get something, but most of my meals were leftovers or things that were past their expiration dates.
 They wouldn't even wash my clothes with me because the twins' clothes would get dirty, and because they didn't want to waste money on water bills, they just left my clothes there.
 So, as an elementary school student, I always washed my own clothes alone using the water supply in the park.
 Speaking of clothes, the twins would get new ones, but I was always left with tattered clothes.
 I was the only one with a tattered school bag from elementary school, junior high school and high school, while the twins always had new ones.
 The twins were one year younger than me, and for these reasons, from the time they started kindergarten, they had to do a lot of things by themselves.
 I was very jealous.
 I didn't do anything. ...... No, what's wrong with not doing anything?
 No matter how much I complained, my parents never even listened to me.
 This is the reason why I could not even go to the hospital even if I thought I might be sick.
 I guess I was blessed, considering that I was given the bare minimum of food.
 Even if it was because my parents were concerned about publicity.
 ---- But there was one person who was kind to me, too.
 It was my grandfather, who has since passed away.
 He went to many places and always came back with strange souvenirs, so he was rarely at home.
 But when he was home, he always took good care of me, even though I was ugly.
 When he was home, however, he always took good care of me, even more than the twins.
 My grandpa has always been known as a freak who travels around a lot and collects strange things, and my parents disliked him a lot.
 When I was in elementary school, I used to go to my grandpa's house whenever he was home, since it was close by.
 My grandpa was so upset with the way I was treated that he tried to appeal to the people around him, but all of his appeals were squashed by my appearance and the people around him who treated him like a freak.
 That grandpa died when I was in junior high school.

"Yuuya. Don't ever lose. Don't worry. No matter how hard things get, just keep smiling and happiness will come to you. Someday, you'll be able to look back at the people who did terrible things to you.

 That's what my grandpa told me, and then he passed away.
 He also gave me the house and property he had lived in.
 Of course, my parents tried to take it from me, but my grandpa had done all the hard work, and they couldn't get it from me.
 But as a result, my parents completely abandoned the idea of raising me.
 Well, I guess you could say it was a natural outcome.
 So, I left home and went to live with my grandpa.
 My grandpa didn't have a lot of money, and I didn't have any support money from my parents.
 But he had enough money to pay for me to go to high school, so now I'm in high school and working part-time to make ends meet.
 And now, I had to hurry up or I would be late for my part-time job, but I was stopped and forcibly taken to the back of the gym.
 The only thing they do to you here is ----.

You're a fat piece of shit and you're cocky!
"Gah!

 It was a group lynching.
 They punched and kicked me continuously.
 I could barely breathe, and since I didn't have any money, I always skipped lunch, so all that came out of my mouth was stomach juices.
 After a while, Takeshi Araki, who was in the same class as me and was the main culprit behind the beatings, grabbed me by the hair and lifted my face as I coughed.
 Araki is what we call a delinquent, with blond hair and piercings.
 He's wearing his school uniform, and he's a member of the Red Ogre, a delinquent team that operates around this high school.

"Gah! Gosh!
"Hey, you fat f*ck. You're getting carried away, aren't you? You're just a sandbag that I can hit when I want to. You're a sandbag that I can hit when I want to. You're a sandbag, so why are you trying to leave ......?
I'm not sure what to say.

 I'm not sure what to make of it.
 I can't stop my nose from bleeding and my face hurts all over.

I'm not sure what to do. It's better not to do that to your face. It'll leave a scar.
I'll be fine. No one will pay attention to this piece of shit.
Hahahaha! It's really funny!

 Some flashy looking girls took pictures of me.
 Araki, who was watching the scene, seemed to have an idea and smiled blackly.

"Well, if we're going to take pictures, why don't we take pictures of you naked?
Oh! That's good, that's good! Then let's get some more people.
Ooh, send a message to everyone you know!
What? No, no, no. ......


Don't open your f*cking mouth, you f*cking a**h*le!
"Agh!

 Another kick stabs me in the face.
 I felt like I was about to pass out, but I didn't know what would happen if I did.
 But, helpless as I was, I couldn't do anything about it, and the people Araki and the others had called were gathering around me.

"Hey, hey, come on over and have some fun. ......
I never thought I'd see the face of trash.

 When I managed to turn my gaze to the cold voice that was suddenly thrown at me, there stood a brother and sister with well-rounded faces that looked very much alike.
 They were ---- Yota Tenjou and Sora Tenjou. ...... In other words, they were my younger brother and sister.
 They are a year younger than me, so I would occasionally run into them at junior high school, but every time I did, they would look at me with contempt.
 Besides, the middle school I go to is an integrated school, and although I will be a freshman in high school next year and they will be in their third year of middle school, we might have a chance to see each other at some point.
 Normally, I wouldn't have any business in the back of a school building like this, but Araki must have gathered me this time.

I'm not sure. Yota, do you know each other?
Yes, well. I don't like to admit it, but I'm supposed to be his brother .......
Brother? No way! No way! You look nothing like him!

 Araki looks at me and laughs hysterically.

I don't really care about that, it's just a paperwork thing.
I don't really care." "Oh, I see. ...... Oh well. Have fun today.

 After such an exchange, nearly twenty people had gathered, and I was finally stripped naked by Araki and his men.
 I desperately resisted and complained with my mouth, but they beat me and silenced me, and finally stripped me of all my clothes.

I was stripped of all my clothes. "Hahahahahahaha!
Don't hide it!
What a disgusting body!

 The scornful words and cold stares that surrounded me. In frustration and embarrassment, I bit my lip and endured desperately.
 After a few moments of the sound of shutters echoing from the surroundings, Araki opened his mouth to the people gathered.

Thank you for gathering here today! Well, I guess it's time to call it a night!

 Then he turned to me and his smile deepened ----.

"Hey! Blow it up, you fat f*ck!
Aah!

 I was hit by a powerful blow to the jaw and was blown to the ground in a heap, and then I fainted.
 By the time I woke up, there was no one around me and the moon was floating in the sky.
 When I checked my luggage, I found that my meager money had been taken, my textbooks had been ripped up and thrown away, and my clothes had been splashed with muddy water.

"Ugh......ggh......aah......

 I tried my best to hold back my tears, but I was miserable and it was getting harder and harder.
 I also contacted my part-time job, but ended up getting fired.
 ...... Grandpa. What am I supposed to do ......?
 This was my ---- daily life.
