"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

While the other patrons were chatting happily with their partners and friends, a couple sat quietly at a table on a corner of the garden restaurant. The woman was looking downcast while the man had a serene expression on his face.

Kazuya felt bad to see her distressing look. Moreover, he was already used to her bubbly and carefree persona whenever she was with him. He reached out a hand, grasped one of her palms and gently squeezed it.

Himari raised up her head, staring at the man silently. She didn't reject the touch. Even though it still felt foreign, it was so comforting.

Kazuya opened his mouth, letting the words flowed out one by one.

"I'd be upset if you keep talking about his good points after we're together now. If you did that, I'd think I'm not enough to be your partner and that you're actually still hoping for him. But, in this case, it's inevitable. There's no reason for me to be upset."
