Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The race for change

I'm just another human being in this world full of mistakes, I can't help but think about it

I'd like to be something more... I can't remember the last time I felt important...

Since I finished school I still haven't found anything I want to do, I consider myself a failure, I always thought of standing out and leaving my mark here but I never made an effort to be someone important.

Despite having always been in the top three at school in all subjects and having an enviable physique, I was never considered a prodigy or special and apparently I would have liked to be considered…

I'm going to change that, I want to feel important!

But before starting my moving journey I need to take the first step and move out of my parents house.

Since I was a child I always dreamed of leaving Gunma (My hometown) to live in Shibuya (Tokyo) which has one of the main commercial and financial centers in the world and much more, it's so incredible just thinking about it.

Fortunately I have a part-time job where I can get some money that I have for my future and I think this is the right time to use it.

I spoke with my parents and my sister about my decision and they were very understanding and told me that it was time to go explore the world although my sister insisted a lot to come with me but I had to deny her request her because I think she should stay to finish school and I honestly didn't want her to come and control me...

I packed my bags with everything I needed and went to say goodbye.

My father, as the leader of the family, made a point of lending me money to help me on my journey, I made a point of thanking him from the bottom of my heart and said goodbye to my family with a big hug.

I bought a subway ticket to Shibuya just for the next day because I wanted to spend my last moments here in Gunma with my two childhood friends (Hibi and Inã).

I called Hibi and explained what was going on and he asked to come to his house which was literally next to mine

When I rang Hibi's bell I heard Inã coming down the street screaming towards me and she gave me a very strong hug and she just kept repeating the same phrase

' AREKKUSU, please don't go away '

I asked her to calm down and in the meantime Hibi let us in…

I explained to them more deeply about the subject and the strangest thing is that they said that they identified a lot with me, with the fact that they were lost and wanted to feel important in something, I said I was surprised but in fact I knew because they are the my best friends and there is no one more like me than the two of them...

So, after all that conversation, both of them made me an offer to come with me on the journey…

I couldn't be happier, because it's always better to go on adventures together than alone, although it would be a big challenge for me to live with two people without any sense of responsibility, but for me it's not a problem because they are my best friends.

I accepted their proposal and they were very happy, Hibi even went to get some beers from the fridge on the sly so we could celebrate our beginning of the adventure and we drank and danced into the night until we fell on the floor from exhaustion.
