【PC】我成为天使的理由｜僕が天使になった理由

山と海に囲まれた異国情緒豊かな港町・伊乃郷市。

山頂の教会が見守るこの街で、少年と少女は出会った。

少年の名は桐ノ小島巴 （きりのこじま ともえ）。恋も幸せも信じず、孤独を貫く少年。

少女の名はアイネ。愛を唄い、幸せをもたらすために生まれた……天使。

桐ノ小島巴の人生は、他人の目にはおそらくとてもつまらないものに見えていただろう。

友達は作らない、彼女なんてもちろんいない。趣味らしい趣味もない。

寝て起きて登校して帰って寝る。ただただ平凡なルーチンを繰り返すだけの日々。

ただそれでも、その生活は彼にとって全然不幸ではなかった。“何もない” ということは “失うものもない” ということだから。

何かを望んだところで、最後にはひどく傷つくハメになるに決まっている。

この世界の残酷さを、彼はいやというほど味わったのだから。

そんな彼の平穏な生活は天使の登場によって終わりを告げた。

“天使”。人々の恋の護り手。“赤い糸” を紡ぎ、奏でる者。

「恋が人を幸せにするなんてこと、あるわけがない」と巴は言った。

「そんなことありません！恋をすると心がほわぁってなるじゃないですか！」とアイネは言った。

意見が折り合わないまま “天使代行” として彼女の仕事を手伝うことになった巴は、アイネと共に他人の恋愛に深く関わっていく……

目の前を通り過ぎていく “恋” という現象に込められた様々な思い、そして様々な幸せの形。

それは、幸せというものの本当の意味を探す旅。そしてその果てに、彼は歩み続けた理由を見つけ出す。

Nestled between the mountains and the ocean somewhere sits the harbor town of Inogo City, a prosperous place with an atmosphere of the exotic.

It is this city, watched over by the church at the summit of the highest mountain, where a boy and a girl first meet.

The boy's name is Kirinokojima Tomoe. A lonely young man, who believes neither in love nor in happiness.

The girl's name is Aine. One who sings of love to fill the world with happiness, who was born for that very purpose... an angel.

To anyone who saw him, Kirinokojima Tomoe would have seemed to lead a singularly boring life.

He didn't even attempt to befriend others, nor did he have a girlfriend, unsurprisingly. He was involved in no hobbies or interests to speak of.

Waking in the morning only to go off to school, returning home only to sleep. An utterly ordinary, routine life, each day no different from the day before or after it.

But he was not in the least unhappy with his life. For him, a life of "nothing" was also one of "nothing to lose".

Wish for something, and you would only end up getting hurt.

After all, he'd already sampled enough of the world's bitterness for one lifetime.

Until, like a herald of the end of that tranquil existence, an angel appeared.

"Angels". The protectors of human loves. The ones who spin the "red thread", and those who play its melody.

"Love can never bring people happiness.", said Tomoe.

"That's not true at all! Falling in love makes your heart feel all light!", Aine replied.

Tomoe, who soon found himself aiding the "acting angel" with whom he couldn't see eye to eye on anything in her work, is is drawn alongside Aine into deep involvement with others' romantic lives...

The many shapes of love, and the forms of happiness that pass before our eyes every day.

This is their journey to find the true meaning of happiness.

And at that journey's end, his own reason for living on...
