- Iruma Nonoka -

It was an usual day of the first day of the week. The sun starting to rise in this early morning. And somewhere, in the Earth, our MC lead his daily life as am Employee in production based Company which has 3 shifts schedule and OT(Overtime) loads for specific production line.

Iruma Nonoka, or Iru, is how he commonly called by people around him. living with his 2 older sisters, and his Youth Looking face mom which made his house more like an Ara Ara paradise of such.

As per usual, his shift starts in the day today. He overworked his OT to achieve more load for his lane production team.

He is a hardworker, a person who doesn't talk much, people tend to see him as a shy person, and a dependable person. That night, he received many thanks by his coworkers before heading home, they even invited him to a drink but he reject the invitation nicely. saying his mom and sisters are waiting for him back at home.

It was [11.00 PM] in the dark night as he walks home. He hoped on a bus from a bus station near his industrial workplace. The bus route always end up the same route. He get down on the next 2 bus stop station which he usually stops which is the nearest bus stop near his home.

The night was silent.

[11.30 PM], 30 minutes passed as he ride up and down the bus.

He likes the silence of the silent night. He stopped his steps, lifted his face up, gazing through the clear sky of the night.

Stars clearly can be seen. The moon shines radiantly, which always giving him the feeling of coziness, and the stars added up like beautiful addons which sparkles as it spreaded around the sky around the moon itself, making them look alike they love the moon and shine slightly. Just so the moon won't shine brightly feeling alone.

As he seen such beautiful scenery of the clear night sky with the stars, his mind reminded him of his fantasical desire. he reached his hands up just like he wanted to grasp the moon and imagining things.

"It would be nice if this world has magic. 'Sigh'..", He sighed after the words he said as he grip his hand toward the moon with his wishful eyes and expression with a slight smile.

He knows that such fantasies do not exist in this earth. he pulled down his hand, yet he is back to the reality, and starts walking his way home while imagining and wondering.

"I would like to lend the power of the moon to give such comfiness to people, mostly to mom. She has been taking care of all of us until now by herself.", He said in his mind.

A truck passes by, he move himself more to the side of the road. As the truck getting closer, the truck driver honked him, stopped beside him, and slided down his side window.

"Yo, Iru Boy, More Over Time huh?", the truck driver greeted him as he pulled his hand brake. It's Ojima. Iruma's neighbor who works as a truck driver in a construction project.

"Haha, Yeah. You're as well, aren't you Ojima-san?", he smiled as he replied to Ojima's greeting.

"Well yeah.. Sucks actually.", He whined as he put his face out on thr side window, letting out his hands, moving them as he talks. "I just want to watch football league at home, you know? with beers on my hand, kids in their rooms. But, gotta earn the living for those kiddos", Ojima implied..

"Umu.", He nodded. His left hand ported on his waist, while the other on his chin. Leaving the wondering impression. "Yeah, that could be nice if we could slack off everyday", He implied with a whining face.

"Well, I am going to work boy. I don't want to be late for tonight's trip.", He said as he released the hand brake. "Be carefull on your way back. Say Hi to your mom and sisters ok?", Ojima excuse himself to Iruma as he drive his truck away slowly passong through the road.

"Sure.", Iruma responded him. "You too Ojima-san. Safe trip", He waved his hand as he starts walking his way back to home.

And Finally, he reached at the front of his home, safe and soundly.
