"Meow~ Meow~"

The orange tabby cat sneaked out of the house, bringing back with it a little girl to resurrect the faint link between two people who had just crossed paths together once.

Three years ago, Kato Himari was forced to end her first love in order to cherish herself more. In the early moments she faced her own heartbreak, she met him in a series of strange events.

At the same time, Hayashi Kazuya was compelled to assume a crucial role after tragic events kept on befalling his loved ones. There were things he had to let go of and there were things he had to hold on to.

Unknown to them, a funny companionship of a cat and a little dumpling led them to meet again.

Would their encounter give them second chances of gaining more hopes in the face of the future?

Would the reappearance of Himari's first love break the ties of their Fate?

And, what was the secret that Himari concealed even from her loved ones?

"Uncle, when would you give me an auntie?"
"Uncle, why don't you marry Teacher Kato home?"
"Teacher Kato, do you find my uncle handsome?"

Both of them exchanged glances before they hurriedly looked away with the tips of their ears reddened. The little girl grinned and gave thumbs up to the orange tabby cat next to her before she looked at her back.

"Big Brother, look! I've found us an auntie!"

"Meow~ Meow~"

The orange tabby cat happily agreed to the little girl's words.

As the Wind Blows Your Scent to Me

After lunch, Himari brought her mother to the strawberry farm. Chobi was left inside the room as he was busy basking under the sun on the armchair. The mother and daughter changed into casual clothes to ease their movements.

Himari wore a beige crew-neck short-sleeved T-shirt with a pair of ankle-length dark-colored loose pants. Akemi just followed her daughter's outfit. The only thing that differed was she wore a floral shirt instead of a plain one like her daughter.

"Look at how ripe this strawberry is," Himari exclaimed while gently touching a big and juicy strawberry hanging from its vine, "Mom, let's make some strawberry shortcake later?"

"Okay. Today, let's just pick some for us to eat and before we go back, we'll pick another one," Akemi agreed.

Since both mother and daughter shared the same love for culinary, Akemi didn't have any objections when her daughter suggested making desserts using strawberries.
