"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 served their early dinner - honey-glazed garlic chicken bites, carrot salad sprinkled with crushed roasted walnuts and tofu soup together with freshly steaming rice on the dining table. The table was right next to the glass-to-ceiling windows of the condominium unit.

"The night view is beautiful," Himari let out a soft sigh.

The vast garden on the ground was currently basked under the lights of the lamp pole. Not far from the park, the scenery of the lights bounced on the river surface further magnified the dazzling yet comforting view of the area around the complex.

"If you're not tired, let's go for a stroll before I send you home?" suggested Kazuya while he was pouring tea into two cups.

The time was still early, only at a quarter past seven o'clock. It won't be too late for them to enjoy a short yet nice stroll together.

"Let's go! I don't know when else I'd come here again," Himari agreed without a second thought.

Begone! My Foolish Thoughts!
