1.Encounter with a ninja
That day he saw the ninja for the first time.
No, to be exact, it's "Kunoichi". It seems that the female ninja was once called that.
He didn't know they lived in modern Tokyo.
The first ninja he saw was in a high school uniform and jumped higher than his head.
In a dirty residential area, at twilight she was flying very beautifully in the air.
Seeing her in her appearance, he somehow foresaw that his boring days had come to an end today.
He can't imagine what will happen in the next moment.
But that was a lot of fun for him.
That morning classroom where the warm breeze blows through.
The spring breeze gently tickled his heart. It makes him feel the expectation and excitement of new encounters, and even a bit of anxiety.
In a big city where you can reach out and grab anything, he feels like he's trapped in a small room.
He loved the wide sky and the colorful nature. However, the city seen from the classroom window aims to be against his taste.
Depressed by the end of a long vacation and excited about the new semester, he is in his second year of high school today.
He doesn't like school. He likes new encounters. Being trapped in school also only made him remember the blockage.
For him, the only fun at school was meeting new womans.
He was sitting in someone else's seat. He told the girl who was crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.
"Good morning, my destiny. you would have been very lonely during the spring break when you couldn't see me. You know, I was so lonely because I couldn't see you either."
When he said so, she sighed loudly.
"Yes, yes.You are happy to have a lot of "my destiny" ,Rintaro-kun."
She's sarcastic about him. But he didn't realized it was ironic.
"Believe me.You are the only woman destined for me. I just made a lot of detours before I met you."
She sighed again at him, who said cheerfully.
She stopped replying, but Rintaro continued his approach. He tried to invite her to a date, but she never accepted.
At that time, a man in the classroom approached Rintaro and spoke to him.
"Hi, Rintaro, good morning. Are you still picking up?"
Rintaro glanced at the man. He doesn't know the man. He is a tall man with a modern hairstyle, whose long bangs on his eyes are very obtrusive.
"Who are you?"
Rintaro stared at the man with cold eyes. Rintaro got angry because he was disturbed by a man.
The man seemed quite surprised to hear Rintaro's reply.
"He's Kenji Kiriyama, who was your classmate last year. Don't you remember?"She said.
Rintaro stared at his face, but he didn't remember at all.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in a man's face or name. Come on, go over there as soon as you know."
Rintaro made a gesture to drive him away.
"Don't say that. I have a request for you."
He told Rintaro to beg, depressed.
Rintaro was even more frustrated that he wouldn't leave immediately.
"No. I don't accept a man's request. Go over there soon."
Rintaro said without looking at his face.
"I'm sorry for him. Listen to me."
She said to Rintaro as she was disappointed.
Rintaro was thinking silently for a while, but he gave up and told him.
"So what do you ask me to do?"
The man was pleased with Rintaro's lines.
"Actually, I feel like someone is following me recently.And there is a noise in the vacant house next to my house. Someone seems to be living on their own."
"I don't care. Talk to the police, not me."
Rintaro was amazed and turned away from him. Kenji hurriedly continued his words.
"I've already consulted the police, but it seems that no one was there. But I I feel like someone is following me every day and hear noises every night, so I realized it was."
Rintaro looked at Kenji with a suspicious look. Rintaro didn't know what he wanted to say.
"What do you think it is?"
"It's a ghost"
"ridiculous"
Rintaro hit the desk and stood up. He was angry and tried to leave Kenji.
"Wait. It's true. I'll ask you to go see the vacant house together."
Kenji begged.
"I don't believe in ghosts. I don't want to talk to you. Why do you ask me in the first place? You can tell someone else."
Rintaro started walking to go to the bathroom.
"Because we were classmates for a year.we are friends,right?"
Kenji said with a crying face.
"I don't remember any of my male classmates, and I'm not interested in you."
He replied without turning around.
As he walked, he heard the girl's voice with that sigh from behind.
"Help him. Then we can go on a date."
"Kenji, let's go to the vacant house after school today"
Rintaro turned around and shook hands with Kenji.
Kenji was surprised at Rintaro's too early change of mind.
"Oh, really! I'm happy. Thank you."
Kenji smiled for the first time today.
"No, it's natural to help my friends. If you have any problems in the future, talk to me."
Rintaro said so and laughed out loud.
Seeing that figure, the girl sighed today, not knowing how many times.
Come to think about it,this was an event that changed Rintaro's life.
His boring daily life is over and his life changes into something no one can imagine.
On weekday mornings as usual, only one person in the world, his life, is rapidly heading for disaster.
This story is a biography of eight years until Rintaro Mogami disappeared from the world.
At this point, it's only eight years before he dies.
