Ayano Katachi's POV
The Katachi Group. They're one of the most influential business groups of Japan. Well, of course, as the only daughter of the Katachi Family, I have that influence too.
But our family... exercises the independent rule. That rule where we wouldn't mind other people's lives. They will live the way they want to, and we'll live the way we want to, and no one will interfere.
Of course, that applies to me too. By the time I reached middle school, the absolute independence was applied to me. Although, I can still eat and sleep at my house, no one would helped me at all. They will give huge amount of money for the month and no one would care how I would spend it.
If your parents are helping you at your assignments, I have none. If your parents are cheering you up when your down, I have none. If you can ask your parents for advice, I have none.
I did all the things by myself. Since the absolute independence was still put on me, It's my choice whether I will work at my company or take a different career. No one will interfere. That's why... I don't know... what should I do with my life.
But when I reached the second year of my middle school, I met someone. Since I have absolute independence, I could go in and out at my house, no will care. I was just swinging at the swing at that time, thinking "What should I do with my life?"
There's a boy walking at the park. I think he's the same age as me, but he's clothes are weird. He wears this weird sign on his body tied on his leg and "Doing Odd Jobs for Money. As long as you pay, I will do anything" was written on it.
What's with that? I called the boy for a bit and at the speed of light he suddenly came near me. What? He's so fast! Now that I take a closer look at him, he has a black hair but has a blue tint along with it.
"Is that sign true?"
"Of course! Why would I lie!? I need money!"
"You are working for your own money?"
"Technically, Yes. I just want to help my mother even for a bit. Part time works doesn't accept kids! So I'm doing this until I turn 16!"
His face looks really serious. I mean, he intend to make money by doing that? For someone, that doesn't have any problem with money, I don't really get his feelings. But I now know that there are other people who was scarce for money.
"Then, I will help you! I'm going to make you do something, Of course, I'll pay you."
"Yes, ma'am! What are your orders?"
I closed my eyes for a bit and let the soothing wind caress my cheeks. I thought for a while about this and found an answer.
"Then... tell me the purpose of my life."
+++++
"Tell you, the purpose of your life?"
I swore that day that no matter what career he would say, I wouldn't retort. Well, It depends on what he says, If It's bad, Of course, I won't do it.
But If It's actually makes sense, then why not do it? I'm thinking about it for a while now, but I didn't got an answer.
I just looked at the ground, not even looking to his face. Must be pretty rude but suddenly, he flicked my forehead then said "Idiot."
I touched my forehead for a bit to check. It didn't had any scratches or wounds but It still hurts! What was that for? No one ever hit me in my life!
"There's no way I can tell you that! Find it yourself!"
"But I'm thinking about it for a while, but I didn't reach anything."
"Who said anything about thinking!? I said Find It!"
How am I supposed to do that? It's impossible! There's so many paths I could take, but I don't know what to take! I can't ask anyone for advice, and you're telling me to find it?
"If you have so many paths, then try them all! Scientists are achieving what they want by experimenting so many times! If you feel like that's not the place for you, then leap to the another! You can do that until you find your purpose!"
I was shocked by his proposal. Try them all? What are you talking about? It's impossible, I'll be a hag by the time I finished then. But for some reason... It's not a bad idea at all!
I raised my head to see the boy's face again. For some reason, I want to see his face. I want to look at him while saying the words "thank you."
But by the time I raised my head, the boy's already gone. Maybe he left already? Or all of what happened is just inside my head? Regardless, I made my decision. I'm going to try everything, I'm not going to stop until I find my purpose, no, my dream!
