The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me - V2 Chapter 1
Volume 2 Chapter 1
During the winter of our first year of middle school, Suzuno and I met in the park every morning and enjoyed the rest of the morning together.
Even though we were both wearing our winter clothes (complete with scarves, gloves, coats and pocket warmers), the cold was still able to find its way to attack us. Though, because I was with her, it didn’t bother me too much. Her presence warmed me up inside.
Suzuno. Whenever I called her by her name, her expression would loosen up.
That was enough to make me happy.
The plum blossom and the budding cherry blossoms heralded the end of winter and the start of our new school year together.
It was a day in spring. We were sitting at our usual park, looking up at the lone cherry blossom tree. That day, I decided to tell her about my past.
How my mother used to beat me a lot when I was younger. How she had brought me with her when she decided to kill herself.
But, my life had started to turn for the better when the Yamaokas adopted me. They took care of me well. It was something that I recently realized.
Suzuno listened to my story earnestly. I could hear her trying to restrain her sobs. At the end of my story, she said, “I’m glad I got to meet you, Yamaoka-kun.”
Those words made me feel alive.
They brought me happiness and warmth that I had never felt before. It felt like I was slowly starting to become a human again.
Of course, I didn’t tell Suzuno everything about myself.
Especially when it came to my near-death experience and my connection with the shinigami.
There was no way that I’d tell her that I was supposed to die in her place.
It had been a year since I met Suzuno, my fated girl.
I found her standing proudly among the cherry blossom trees, fell in love with her, and spent the past year with her.
Suzuno, don’t you think that we’re so similar? It’s as if we’re fated to be together.
I have no parents and your parents never gave you the love you deserved.
But, the more I think about you, Suzuno, the less confident I am to fulfill my contract with the shinigami.
Will I be able to save you when you need it, I wonder?
When that fated moment arrives upon us, will I be able to throw my life away for you?
