Din No Monshou Prologue

Prologue

In hindsight, my life was trash.

If I can start again, I want to restart from a previous point in time.

Let me start over from that time.
Because, if I was able to return even ten seconds ago, I need not die.

A scream rises from the surroundings.

But most of the shouts were [Are you okay?]

No, it’s not okay.

Meanwhile, a television report is being broadcast about the iron frame.

How is it being broadcast calmly?

In a word, it is an answer.

The vision that I can see is narrowing steadily.

The small business cards I got from my father had become red with my bodily fluids.
Although one might say, in this case, it was a mistake to leave.

The steel frame spike that was released by the labourer directly hit me.

It was too unreasonable.

And furthermore, the thought ‘Let’s get a job!’ should no longer occur to me.

Anyway, I was a man who could not do anything.

I lived for 25 years and there were no good things (about me.)

My youth is accurately expressed in 2 kanji — It is so.

I was not especially eager for extracurricular activities.

How can someone be friends with one such as I?
A girlfriend was something of a dream.

I am a typical, useless human being.

Is it the time I had been affected by the flu on the eve of the college entrance examination?
Even with my poor academic ability, I should have somehow got into the university.

Putting up with intense joint pain and headaches, I somehow managed to get to the school gate.

I still remember how I was rushed to the hospital at the speed of light.

The last chance I had.

The day before — I fell down with Norovirus. (TL: Norovirus, In the UK is known as the winter vomiting bug.)

More than that, I was stupid.

Even though I wanted to liven the party with the family.

After all, my imouto was driven away.
But, I did not think I would really have such a serious illness.

To say, my result was that I did not receive entrance into a university in my youth.

The tension in me snapped and I began living a loose life.

The job-hopping part-timer who works in production.

Needless to say, my parents gave up on me long ago.

[You, are you really my son?]

When those lines were spoken, I was unable to retort.

Although I debated whether or not to act upon the feeling and behave violently, but I had no such courage.

Nobody will take sides with me anymore.

However, my imouto was different.

Only she cared about me until the end.

It seems my parents proposed a plan to drive me from the house.
At that time, it was my imouto who persuaded my father to prevent it from happening.

The incompetent fool who can not do anything.

It was selfish pride.
But, even so. I didn’t fake only these true feelings.

Then, a report came that my imouto was getting married.

After several years of friendship, it seems he finally reached the finish line.

While it was lonely, on the other hand, I would be happy to send her off.

So, for the first time in several years, I spoke to that man.
I asked for an introduction to a job from my father who was reading a newspaper with a difficult face.

I lowered my face and was seriously scolded.

However, I did not give up.

I am a person who is originally resistant to pain.

For hours I continued to sit in front of my father.
This was stubbornness.

As a result, I received a business card from my father.

It was a rumour of the wind.
I heard it was being run as a “clinical trial”.

However, the information was only rumours up to there.

There was a suspicious aura about the conditions.

Though, it was fine if I could get money.

It seemed good, no matter what.

And — across the nation, it was Christmas today.

The place of the company is a multi-tenant building at the edge of town.
I walked straight there.

Here and there are men and women who were bringing their bodies close to each other.

I’m sure I would’ve be seen as a suspicious broker.

I tried to pass the front of the building under the construction.

They’re on good terms and a muffle is wrapped around one neck.
I was suddenly driven by an impulse that wanted to disturb them.

But it was different.

Simply recalling the face of my imouto, infinite power will appear.
I strayed largely from the couple and walked along the building.

I seemed to be able to tolerate any pain now.

There was even such a thought.

Then, was it the mischief of God or the Devil’s doings?

Is there a ship floating in the sky?

The moment that I thought so, I looked up.
My view was stained red.

My body became like a broken doll.

What was this?
The pain was okay, but what was this flowing blood?

To die like this.

Not now.

Please, wait a little.

Please let me attend the place where she is congratulated.
Did the heavens vengeance come down on me, as I lived selfishly?

The judgement of God?

Now that I have reached here, either doesn’t matter.

Then if it is God.

Even if I think that, I won’t say it.

So, for my imouto at least —

If that isn’t the case, I can’t rest in peace.

Also, if possible.
If possible for one more request.

It’s kind of stupid that I can’t celebrate the happiness of my imouto.
Give me the chance to make somebody happy in my future life at least.

A lazy lifestyle won’t be lead anymore.

I’ll do everything I can.
So, s-so —

The area is filled with red light.

Oh, did help come for one such as me?

I think that it is a wonderful thing.

If there is a next time, I’d like to be a man who is loved by someone.
And I want to be the man who is able to save somebody.

I vomit a mass of blood, and I meet my end.

At the last minute.
I spoke of an earnest desire which wouldn’t be voiced.

—- Only once more. A new life.
