"Question: What is a life without regret?" his kouhai ask, "Well, you are not going to know it until you are dead" Shino replied
His kouhai pout and said, "Shino-senpai, please take this seriously, this is for our thesis you know"
Shino laugh it off and replied, "Yeah~yeah, I'm just joking, well~~ let see".
Shino Takasaki, recently graduated from College and got a job from a tech company, but behind does smile lies a terrible past. His Kouhai invite him to answer a few question for thesis, he once asked Shino about it and got intrigue by his answer.
"A life without regret is when you move forward even if life throws you at the cliff of despair" Shino replied to the question
"Next, what is your greatest regret?" his Kouhai asked
"Wait, Isn't that too personal? Its invasion of privacy you know" Shino replied
"Just tell as a little senpai, please…" His Kouhai said while making petty eyes.
"Aaahh~~, when I was at Secondary School, that's it you won't get anymore" Shino replied
His Kouhai proceed to question her Senpai and later on they finished.
Shino is walking back to get home after an intense interrogation from his Kouhai and said to himself, "That kid, even though I already graduated I am still his senpai, but well… it is an interesting Thesis. A life without regrets huh?"
"Whatever it is, it is definitely the opposite side of my life" he said.
As Shino stop to a crossing to wait for the green light, he pulled a lollipop from his pocket and open it up, when he is about to put it in his mouth, a noise was heard.
~~KKKYYYAAAA!!!~~
A man with a knife is running and swinging his knife around saying, "Move away or else I'll kill you!"
The armed person is coming towards Shino and shouted at him, "Move you Idiot!!"
Shino bite his lollipop and drop kick the armed person before the knife gets to him and said, "Its red light you Idiot!"
The armed person was stopped by Shino and receive an applause from stranger and he politely thank them, later on the cops arrive and arrested the man.
Shino is formerly is part of a Karate club in college, he rarely attends but he is still an experience Karateist
"Now, where are we? Ahh… right regrets" Shino said to himself
Shino continue to walk forward and talk to himself
"My life is full of regrets, because of one event that traumatize me, I came to the point where there is no return, yes I live a normal life but that does not mean I have no regrets, and because of that trauma, I missed out a lot in life that I am still trying to catch up. I got hold back by a few years, and some university won't even accept me, if I didn't learn Karate no university will accept me, barely getting a job to this company, I can't even love anyone anymore, being betrayed is even a norm to my life, and can't even travel yet, aah~ha~ha, so many regrets. If I got a second chance, I'll live one with no regrets"
As Shino walked around a street he notice a bookstore selling the new release of his favorite manga and was ecstatic and said, 'hhhmm.. I have a job now so I can save money fortravel, but buying this is the newest release can hold it off even longer~~hhmm~~what to do?"
A Minute later
*Cling-Cling* "Thank you, Please come again"
"Ho-ho-ho, do you think I bought the newest release?" he asked with a smirk
"Well ofcourse~~ I DID! Hahaha, As long as I live I can still travel, I am only 24 so I still have plenty of time too~~"
~~~VVVRRRRROOOOMMMMM~~
"Eh?!" he asked
A Fast truck passed by in front of Shino and spooked him, standing still, he then quickly touch his body all around and sigh
"OI!!! SLOW DOWN YOU STUPID F***!!" He shouted
Shino was relief he did not get hit by the truck and continue to walk to his home, it is his routine to save money by walking to the bus stop where he only need to take one ride to get to his apartment.
He read the manga he bought as he walked in the sidewalk, and said, "Aaahh~ this really is a great manga, are being in another really this great?"
He finish the manga next to a bus stop and decided to just take the bus there to his apartment
A student next to him notice his manga and said, "Oji-san, do you like that manga?"
"Eh?" Shino was shock when this young student talk to him and replied, "this? Well yeah, It has a great character design and the story telling is quite good"
"Right-right, I also like the story, say Oji-san, where did you buy it? I want to buy one too" the young girl asked excitedly
Inside Shino's head he keeps saying, "Please, no cops, I am an Innocent man, I promise this girl talk to me first" and keep looking aways the girl
"Well there is a bookstore a few blocks around here, you can buy it there" Shino replied
As the girl check for his spare money Shino notice a speeding truck coming to his way and said, "YAH!!! That's the truck that almost got me earlier"
The girl was confused and when she looked back she saw the front of the truck and was pushed away. Shino took the hit to save the girl
With Blood on the floor and shattered glass everywhere, Shino is breathing his last few breath. The girl was trembling in panic and don't know what to do, she shout, "CALL AN AMBULANCE" and people around them pulled their phones to call an ambulance
Shino smiled and said, "I'm glad you are okay… here"
He gave his manga to the girl and said, "Not going to need it anymore, you can have it"
A moment in life flashes on Shino's eye and said, "Live on"
The young girl is crying and multiple people are surrounding Shino, A doctor of duty went to help Shino but even the doctor can only do is slow down the bleeding
With his mind fading away, his last tough was, "Finally, after long years I can be with you… Althea"
