"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

"I know that you've always wanted it back. Sorry, it took me so long," said Ryuu to her with a regretful smile. His eyes were as warm as ever.

The house deed was presented to Yuina on the night Ryuu returned from his job abroad. The piece of paper signified that once again, the place belonged to her rather than some strangers. She was the sole owner of the house.

Ryuu didn't say how much he paid to get the house back from the elderly couple nor the ways he used to persuade them. He just said it was his gift for her.

Yuina remembered she broke down crying. Her loud cries echoed inside the spacious living room of their love nest.

Ryuu was startled to see her cried like that. He was anxiously coaxing her, saying everything that would sound nice to her to hear.

"Don't... don't cry! You just get back what should be yours! My sweet wife, my pretty wife, don't cry... We'll go see the house tomorrow..."
