"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

From the moment Madam Tokioka entered the villa until she was led to the lounge, Himari felt as if her heart was caving in inside her body, leaving her with shock, fear and discomfort.

She didn't know how did she manage to fake a calm facade.

Himari brewed a pot of tea for the unexpected guest.  Her hands shook when she wanted to put down a teacup on the coffee table. Its content almost spilled.

"I'm sorry for coming here unannounced," said Madam Tokioka with no obvious emotions in her eyes.

She was sitting on the couch with Chiharu clinging to her. Izumi sat on the opposite couch. His hands were stroking Chobi who sat on his lap.

"It's nothing, madam. Chiharu has been missing you," answered Himari while forcing a smile. She clenched both of her hands, trying to stop the tremor.

"Yes, ah~ Grandma no come to see Chiharu and Big Brother for a long, long time," whined the dumpling.
