The Girl Connected to my “Red Thread of Fate” was my Natural Enemy - Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

In the end, I couldn’t sleep a wink…

A glowing red thread wrapped around the ring finger of my left hand. 

You can follow it and it will go straight through the wall of the room.

The place where it is connected to…of course is that girl.

The smile of Riran Kuonji crossed my mind. 

Even since middle school, she’s been unfriendly with me. She was like my natural enemy.

I’m angry. 

I hate her.

I’m annoyed.

…Well I’ll admit she’s cute. 

Such a…such a girl is… my 「Fated Person」

“Haa…what am I going to do when I see her?”

It is already early in the morning. 5 AM to be exact.

I lay down on my bed and silently look up at the ceiling.

I don’t think about anything. I don’t feel anything.

I just stare at my bare ceiling.

Then…I became drowsy. Good boy, sleep. You can do it, sleep…

“Akito, Akito, look at me more!” (EDN: Sanada dreaming about Kuonji)

“Akito, does this…look good on me?”

“Hey Akito…I want to kiss you.”

~~~~~!!

Jeez!

Don’t come out of nowhere!

Why is it… her of all people…?

I don’t know how many other girls my age there are in this world! God damn it!

Sh*t…I’m going to go for a walk.

I’ve given up on sleeping. Let’s cool my head down.

I changed out of my nightgown into something more comfortable, threw on a jacket, and went outside. 

It was…cold. Unusual for this time of year, but I guess that’s what early mornings are like.

I walked to the bank of the nearby river. 

There are only people walking their dogs, newspaper delivery people, and runners. There was nobody my age. 

This red thread can only be seen by the people themselves. It is an immutable and indestructible thread that penetrates through everything and connects people to each other. That is the 「Red Thread of Fate」

The only thing that can alter the thread is the death of a 「Fated Person」

“Haa… why is it her of all people…” (Sanada)

“That’s my line.” (Kuonji)

“No no, it’s my…” (Sanada)

I looked back toward the voice. 

…Kuonji…?

As usual, she had an irritated expression on her face.

She wore clothes that look easy to move in, highlighting her curves.

Her beautiful blond hair shimmered in the morning sun.

She emitted a fresh citrus scent that I usually didn’t pay attention to.

The eyes that stare at me are as sharp as usual, but her cheeks are red like she’s sprinkled with autumn leaves. 

Riran Kuonji. My 「Fated Person」

~~Excitement~~

Damn it! Damn it, my heart is beating so fast…!

I regained my composure, and opened my mouth.

“…Why are you here?” (Sanada)

“I go for a walk in the morning. It’s part of my routine.” (Kuonji)

“Is that so…” (Sanada)

I’m not going for a walk in the morning anymore. 

“…”

“…”

Kuonji and I were silent. 

I glanced to my left hand and saw that…yup, it was connected to Kuonji. 

“…If this a dream, wake up.” (Sanada)

“What?! You’re awful!” (Kuonji)

“Don’t you think so as well?” (Sanada)

“No, of course not! Who the f**k are you?” (Kuonji)

She crossed her arms and turned away. 

But because of the way she was dressed, her supple breasts stood out even more.

I’ve been thinking about it since seeing her in her school uniform and PE clothes, but…Kuonji really does have a good figure…

…Wait what the hell was I thinking?

Oi oi oi oi, calm down! No matter how good-looking, stylish, and nice-smelling she is, it’s Riran Kuonji of all people!

She’s my natural enemy!

No more, no less!

…It seems…that she is my 「Fated Person」but…

“Ah, good grief….my day has been ruined since I met you this morning.” (Kuonji)

“…” (Sanada)

“…Why are you silent!” (Kuonji)

“It’s just… I’m just relieved that Kuonji is the same as usual.” (Sanada)

That’s right. You can’t change our relationship with this 「Red Thread of Fate」

I’m not sure why, but she sees me as an enemy, so I see her as an enemy. 

So it’s going to be okay…It’s okay…

“I-i-it’s not a surprise. It’s not like you and I are destined to be together or anything.” (Kuonji)

I suddenly raised my left hand.

Kuonji also raised her left hand curiously.

There is definitely a red thread that connects both our hands.

No, it’s not red. It’s a deep crimson thread. 

“…This is really…” (Sanada)
“I’ll send you flying!” (Kuonji)

Well, thank goodness.

According to my parents, when two people connected by the 「Red Thread of Fate」meet, they fall in love unconditionally.

I don’t have those feelings, and Kuonji is the same as always.

So, I guess we are exceptions. 

Oh, thank God. I’m not sure what I’ll do if Kuonji does or says something like what I pictured in my head…

“H-hmph! …I’m going to go now. You’re on duty today. Don’t be late!” (Kuonji)

“I know, I know.” (Sanada)

Oh dear. I can’t believe how relieved I am to see her act normally.

I want to live like this without any problems.

…Hmm? Wait a minute. This red thread connects me and Kuonji. 

In other words, I can see where she is now. 

If I don’t want to see her, I don’t have to see her.

So…why did she interrupt me earlier when I was by myself? Why was she standing behind me?

…No, I’m thinking too much. She said she enjoys walking in the morning, so maybe this is just her walking route. 

She walks on the same course she always takes, regardless of my presence…She’s still very disciplined, Kuonji is.
