"I don't just want a happy ending. Instead of having one after suffering so much, why couldn't we have a happy, happier path that leads to a happy ending for us?"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chisaka Hisaki and Saeki Heisuke only met each other in the latter half of their lives. Deep scars wounded their hearts yet, they found comfort and healing in each other. 

After her husband's death, despite feeling grateful for the years they had spent together, regret still pulled at Hisaki's heart. 

She hoped for them to meet earlier. She hoped for them to have a happier path, from the beginning to the end.

After another night of missing her husband's presence, Hisaki found that she wasn't in their tiny little home! She was back to the decades in the past! Her youth returned to her in a mysterious yet magical way.

Alright! Since it had come to this, she could realize her unrealistic thoughts!

First, she had to run away from the abusive man her grandfather forced her to marry for money.

Second, she had to search for her old man.

And the most important thing! She had to prevent her old man from being imprisoned!

The younger Heisuke almost accidentally killed someone due to his thirst for revenge. Despite escaping death row, he still suffered a decade in prison.

After her initial plan succeeded, she finally met him!

The quiet young man was really him. Even though he didn't show it to anyone, she knew how soft and colorful his heart was; as soft as cotton candy, as colorful as the balls of yarns. 

Heisuke eyed the new girl in town with suspicions but, his heart felt strange. It went doki-doki.

Could anyone tell him, why this girl's eyes twinkled like the stars whenever they saw each other?

For Our Happier Path

In an instant, Tsuyoshi fell unceremoniously to the ground with a loud thud. He squirmed like a jellyfish as his hands pressed on where Hisaki had kicked him.

"One more insult to Heisuke, I'll kick your balls again! YOU WANT THAT?!"

Hisaki hastily rubbed the hand she used to slap him on the side of her skirt as if she wanted to get rid of a nasty feeling. Fury overflowed from her sharp gaze. Her usual gentle image was replaced by a savage one.

In her previous life, her old man had taught her a few self-defense moves but, she had never gotten the chance to utilize them. Even when she fought against this scum earlier, those weren't cleanly executed.

What Hisaki did stun the others. A few of them looked at the wriggling Tsuyoshi while some instinctively shrank their necks and subtly covered their own crotches.

Somehow, they could feel the stinging pain suffered by Tsuyoshi.

"Crazy... you crazy... I'll report you..."
