Inside an Apartment Complex in Tokyo, Japan...
Argh, I am so tired...Mizuki said, slamming her fist in the table with a scowl on her face.
"I am Mizuki Nishina, 20 years old. I am currently attending college at a government sponsored university at this point of time, I am a working student...you ask why? Simple, it's because my mother is seek. She got a pancreatic cancer, I am trying to earn some money for her chemotherapy and medication also for my studies." Mizuki taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.
Suddenly, someone knocks at her door...
That's so damn loud! Could you please calm down for a second?! Mizuki said, letting out a sigh.
She gets up on the chair and approaches the door, she then peeps in the peephole and saw an familiar yet unpleasant faces.
They're here again, damn it! Mizuki said, clenching her fists.
"Another factor as to why I am trying to earn some money is because of this goons! They're loansharks who's constantly chasing after me since Dad left Me and my Mother years ago. They're trying to collect his debt to me, they want me to settle his own debt that he has run away for! I can't accept this never!" Mizuki taught to herself, punching the air out of frustration.
Hey, we know your there, Nishina! Glock, the leader of the loansharks, said coldly.
Just a moment! Mizuki said, trying to compose herself depsite her irritation.
Mizuki opens the door.
So, what do you need now? Mizuki asks her voice is cold, adjusting her glasses.
Confident as ever, I see! Glock said coldly But, we know that you exactly know why we have came here for. Glock said coldly.
I don't have anything with me right now, give me a few more months. Mizuki said, letting out a sigh I promise, I'll pay you by then. Mizuki said, Determination evident in her face.
Well, you don't get to decide anything here! One of Glock's goons said with a smug look in his face.
You're starting to thick me off just by opening your mouth alone. Mizuki said, her eyebrow raised.
Oh, you better watch your words there, Dear! Glock said, putting his hand into his pocket.
"It's obvious that he was just trying to threaten me. But in reality, he doesn't have a weapon in his pocket. He most likely did that in hopes of making me fear him, but, unfortunately he failed." Mizuki taught to herself with an arrogant smirk.
What's with that face? Glock said curiously.
Just a response to you...That I am not afraid of you. Mizuki said with a smug look in her face.
You're starting to get in my nerves again, you fucking bitch! Glock said, clenching his fists Anyways, fine! I am fine with giving you last three months to pay the debts, if you failed to do so then...we might actually have to use some force then! Glock said arrogantly Let's go boys! Glock said, gesturing his goons to follow behind his back.
Glock and his team left.
Finally, some time and peace! Mizuki said with a melancholic tone, letting our a sigh of relief.
After making sure that the biys have left, she immediately closes the door of her apartment.
There, finally sealed again here. Mizuki said with cold enthusiasm.
"So, now I wonder how will I get 100,000 yen to pay them and for my mother's medication too! I need to find an extra job, right away!" Mizuki taught to herself, determination evident in her face.
Alright, time to look for an extra job while it's still our vacation! Mizuki said coldly, stretching her body out.
Mizuki gets her laptop and opened it, she then started browsing online to look for opportunities.
Damn it, I shouldn't really be doing this! Mizuki said, gritting her teeth.
"I am so tired living a fucked up life like this, I don't want a job with a relatively low salary or anything like that anymore! I want to find something, something that will definitely alter the course of my relatively worthless life! Come on, show up right in front of me!" Mizuki taught to herself.
Mizuki stops browsing when she saw something that piqued her attention.
