sadness nor frustration. He never experienced obstacles or hardships when doing something. Masachika is able to do things that no one else can do despite his great efforts. Since he was young, he has had more tutoring than most people, but in all of them, Masachika always got good results. During Swimming lessons, he could swim faster than anyone else, and in Karate he was able to obtain his black belt faster than other kids who went to the dojo every day. He always won first place in all piano recitals, and in his Calligraphy class, his work was always displayed in the most conspicuous place. Masachika did all that not because he liked it. From the beginning, he had no desire to do it all. He just wanted to live up to his grandfather’s expectations. He just wanted to be praised by his mother. He wanted to reassure his sister. After all, that was all he wanted. Nothing more than that... Huh? Then why am I still studying? His mother was no longer praising him. His grandfather was disappointed in him. Besides, how could he convince his sister now after committing such a thing at school? What was the point of further trampling on other people’s efforts with his talent? After thinking about it so much, Masachika finally came to his senses. “If all that is pointless... It would be better if I were to just give up on everything.” There must be many people crying...behind Masachika’s glorious achievements. Those who have worked so hard and put in so much more time with true passion. Even without realizing his precious efforts, he had already committed many sins without realizing it. “...It was all in vain.” Their actions so far, and Masachika himself, who has no passion for anything. He felt that it was all for nothing.... “Masachika-chan, isn’t it time for swimming lessons already?”
