A world where only the protagonist has color

As the summer heat waves came, Inoue Chiku hooked the collar of the shirt with her index finger and pulled it outward, trying to get a moment of respite from the blue stand-up collar.

She stood in the middle of the crowd, and passing by her were young people in uniform, blue shirt and black tie, and the cherry blossom pattern on her chest was exquisite and solemn.

Chifu Inoue looked up at the gray sky, where the woolly soft white cirrostratus moved slowly westward along the wind direction.Occasionally, a few leaves in various shades of gray are blown off by the wind, briefly blocking the view.

"That one over there! Don't stand still in the crowd!"

Chisuke Inoue, who was named by the instructor, immediately looked away, and walked in the direction of the flow of people towards the auditorium with metal five-petal cherry blossoms hanging in front.

The leaves that fell on Inoue's blue shirt shoulders also fell.

Although in her eyes, the shirt she was wearing was dark gray.The world is also black and white.

Chizuka Inoue is colorblind, but it is different from colorblindness in the strict sense.It's not that she can't see colors other than black, white and gray at all, it's just that those colors are too light, which is better than nothing.

The first art class was in the first grade.The teacher sent out 12 color crayons for everyone to paint their favorite things on the white paper.Sitting on the seat, whose soles of feet could not even touch the floor, Inoue Chisuke looked at the black and white crayons, her slightly thin face wrinkled.

The doubts on her face were too obvious, and she didn't write for a long time.The art teacher wearing round-frame glasses smiled and came to Inoue Chizuru's side, bent her knees and leaned towards her.

"What's the matter, Inoue, haven't you decided what to draw?"

"No, it's just..."

Inoue Chizuru held the ten gray crayons tightly in her palm and looked at them carefully, feeling at a loss and having no talent to write.Apart from the lighter or darker gray in front of her eyes, she really couldn't tell any big difference.

People around used these colored crayons to draw the sky, leaves and the sun, and the teacher clapped their hands and praised words like "so beautiful" and "great colors".

Inoue Chizuru fell into a daze.

This gray world is like a world covered by heavy smog. Is it really beautiful?

This is the world in Inoue Chisuke's eyes.

It's either black or white.

And the colors that are so faded that they are almost invisible hidden under the heavy filter of gray.

Color blindness is restricted in many occupations, such as doctors or police officers.

But in his sophomore year, the Karasuma Group, which sponsored Inoue's study and life, called Inoue Chisuke to the group.The person in charge poured her a cup of tea, and spent several hours drawing a big picture and a blueprint for her future.It seems that they are carefully planning a reliable future for Chizuka Inoue, but in fact, every sentence is inducing and brainwashing, laying a trap for her ahead.

They want Chizuka Inoue to remember to be grateful, to study hard, and not to forget who is credited with being able to live to this day and being admitted to university.

But then, the visitor changed the subject and handed her a stack of materials packed in kraft paper.

Inoue took the things, opened the kraft paper on the spot and pulled out the contents after getting permission, but stopped when he was halfway through.

Through the open seal, she could see the Police Academy Entrance Examination books inside without pulling the book out completely.

"This is……?"

Japan's police system is different from many countries.Young people can choose to take the police academy examination after graduating from high school or university, and they can be hired after passing.

According to their own conditions at the time of admission, the newly admitted police school students will be divided into different classes for half a year or ten months of study, and then assigned to different places and classrooms after graduation.

The Karasuma Group is obviously a large multinational pharmaceutical company and asked her to work for the Karasuma Group after graduation, but gave her a stack of police school entrance examination books.

Incomprehensible.

Inoue Chisuke even thought absurdly, they couldn't possibly want him to graduate and work as a security guard for the Karasuma Group.

This is also outrageous.

The daze on Inoue Qianshu's face was too obvious, but the other party did not explain, but just raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder as encouragement: "Next, you work hard and must be admitted to the police academy."

Although the man smiled kindly, he was not angry or pretentious. He looked at Inoue Chizuru with deep meaning in his eyes, which also made her feel stressed.

The fingers that were pinching the document tightened slightly, and Chizumi Inoue sat on the sofa and couldn't help but move a small distance away from the other party.

The words of refusal were stuck in his throat and he dared not say them at all.

"Remember, you must pass the exam."

With a hint of coercion, the sense of oppression is full.

Inoue Chisuke held the information book and was silent. She has color recognition disorder, so it is impossible for her to be admitted to the police academy.But she didn't say much, just obediently accepted the information and bowed to thank her before leaving.

Opening up about the fact that you have difficulty identifying colors may result in discontinuation of funding.As selfish as she was, she wanted to finish college in its entirety.

Originally, I planned to be positive and negative, and I agreed with my mouth, but I continued to study my favorite professional content and career in private, and the subsidized money would be returned to the Karasuma Group after the salary was paid.

But the Karasuma Group seemed to know what she was thinking. On the day she stuffed the police academy materials into the bottom of the bookcase to eat ashes, they made a call to her dormitory building.

"You must be admitted to the police academy."

"Don't let me down."

Straight to the point, without any pleasantries, with a hint of warning.

The little girl who had just grown up already felt guilty about her behavior of obedience and disobedience, so Inoue Chisuke, who had no social experience, was subdued.

When holding the list issued by the police academy for the physical examination at the designated hospital, panic and uneasiness pounded in my heart.While worrying that he would never pass the physical examination, he comforted himself with an unrealistic fluke mentality—if he was lucky, he would really get away with it.

The color-blindness test book spread out was filled with black and irregular messy patterns, and it was completely impossible to recognize the numbers composed of countless hexagons.

Cold sweat condensed on his forehead, Chizuka Inoue will definitely be eliminated.

The result was unexpected, she really passed the exam.

First, I checked my grades on the Internet, and a few days later I received an admission notice with red five-petal cherry blossoms printed on it.

When pulling out a thin police academy notice from the cardboard package, Inoue Chisuke looked like an old man suffering from Parkinson's for many years, trembling from fingers to wrists.

Obviously, during the experience in the hospital, the man in a white coat had already discovered the fact that Chizuka Inoue was color blind.The other party gave Inoue Chizu a meaningful look, and wrote the word "passed" on the medical examination report with a pen in front of her.

Inoue Chitsu:?

The person who had already thought about how to apologize to the Karasuma Group afterwards was now standing in a police uniform and heading to the auditorium with everyone to prepare for the next oath ceremony.

To this day, Chizuka Inoue herself is still in a state of bewilderment.Like a passer-by trapped in the thick fog in the mountains in the early morning, everything is a mystery.

When you enter the school, you will join the police.

Even if it is unbelievable, she is also a Japanese policeman.

Now she is sitting upright in the front right of the auditorium. In this place where the male-to-female ratio is almost one hundred to one, the atmosphere of male hormones is permeating the surroundings.

"Chitsuka Inoue!"

"Have!"

The woman whose name was called answered loudly, stepped onto the stage and let the instructor wear a golden police badge for her.

She should have bowed and turned around to walk off the stage, but at the moment of turning around, the picture presented in front of her eyes was like a thunderbolt, hitting the depths of her heart.

Among the gray and white crowd, five young men sat side by side in the middle row.

Words with trembling sounds spit out from the corner of the mouth: "Color..."

The pupils also dilated sharply from the shock.

She saw it.

Gorgeous, colorful, colorful colors.

Just on those five men.

Pebbles fall into a calm creek pond, causing ripples.Those five men were the stones thrown into the pond.

The bold colors form a stark and sharp contrast with the surrounding black and white.

Especially the man sitting in the middle - blue shirt, dark skin tone, and shiny but unexpectedly soft blond hair.

Like a bold artist painting the most magnificent contrasting color works.

People can't move their eyes.

Chizuka Inoue, who was completely trapped in her own world, couldn't even hear the voice of the instructor beside her who reminded her softly.

"I... Chisuke... Hey, Inoue Chisuke?"

"Ah? I'm sorry, sorry, because I'm so excited."

After regaining consciousness, Inoue Qianshu apologized to the instructor in a low voice, and immediately walked off the stage with the other party's reproachful eyes.When she was stepping down the stairs, she turned her head quietly and glanced at the blond man below the stage, but she collided with his pair of jewel-like eyes, so she could only quickly look back and return to her seat to sit down.

But even if she was completely seated, Inoue Chizuru couldn't help but secretly glanced sideways at the men behind him.

Unexpectedly, I remembered a sentence that the art teacher said when I was studying:

"It's an extremely beautiful color scheme, and it feels like the world has come alive..."

Like the protagonist in a shonen manga who is destined to save the world.

It is the center of the world, the person favored by luck.

Just a glance.

Shocked for thousands of years.

But Chizuka Inoue was sitting in the front row, and even if she turned her head slightly, it was too ostentatious. She took a peek, then hurriedly looked away, and quietly listened to the instructor's speech on the stage.

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the woman in front of him who had straightened her back, and chuckled in a gentle voice: "Zero is really popular."

The man called Zero sat upright, with his hands clenched in fists on his lap, he glanced at the front row and then looked away.

I don't care much.

"Next, we invite the student representative of this period, Jiang Gu Ling to come on stage."

The thunderous applause sounded and then stopped quickly, in uniform.

The light sound of polished new leather shoes on the wooden steps echoed in the silent auditorium.With a sound, it felt like stepping on Inoue Chizuru's heart.

She looked up at the blond man who was stepping towards the podium with the microphone plugged in. There was a fawn jumping around in her chest, and her beating heart was pounding loudly in her ears.

This gorgeous eye-catching color.

really beautiful.

The articles are full of male stares and sexism.You scold me for my writing skills, I admit it, and I am at that level.You think my logic is not rigorous enough, I can only say that I will continue to work hard.You called me male stare and sexist, I checked myself and discussed it with my group, I don't think I'm sexist.

But I just want to ask you, in your eyes, ordinary women are not qualified to be the protagonists of the story, are they? ?
