"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

At the hospital, Kazuya parked the car inside a roofed parking lot. Both of them walked together to the hospital lobby, heading to Yuina's ward.

Halfway there, Himari paused her steps and asked, "I wanna have a private talk with her, but it might take longer. Wanna wait at the cafeteria? Or, do you wanna go to see your elder brother?"

She might haven't seen Kazuya's elder brother but, she knew how much he cared for him.

Kazuya had said that, if he didn't have his elder brother who often looked out for him, he might have turned out into a bad version of himself.

Because he grew up in a family where both parents disregarded him, Himari understood his reasonings.

"I'll go and see my brother," Kazuya smiled faintly. Squeezing her hand in his hold, he spoke softly, "Do you wanna meet him?"

Ladened with anticipation, he asked her the question.

Himari squeezed his hand back. She returned his smile, "I'd love to."
