"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

Kazuya was the only one who couldn't properly enjoy his lunch as Chiharu and Madam Tokioka finished their meals one by one. Even until now, he found it hard to swallow his food whenever he had to dine with his mother.

While Kazuya was mostly silent, Chiharu was bubbling in happiness as she kept on sharing stories with her grandmother.

"Koko said, we can draw dragons but Chiharu not like it..."

"Chiharu got mad mad! How could Seiichi said he didn't..."

"Bunnies are cute! But but, kitties and doggies are cute too~ Chiharu has a kitty friend named Chobi. He..."

Every time the dumpling was indulged in her own storytelling, she only received curt and short replies from Madam Tokioka but, her grandmother's behavior didn't put her off. It was as if Chiharu accepted that this was her grandmother's nature.

"...picked many strawberries with Teacher Kato! Teacher Kato made cookies for Chiharu! And and bunny pancakes too!"

That Young Lady, Do You Cherish Her Well?
