After a while, Uehara Jiyue's shoulders moved twice.

She began to sob softly.

Izumi Toru hugged her tightly.

"You are allowed to cry just this once. So, cry as much as you want. It doesn't matter. I won't abandon you."

The lips close to the ear were warm and soft, and the voice was gentle and pleasant. A certain string in Uehara Jiyue's mind broke.

She couldn't help but open her mouth.

"ah--"

The voice was small and trembling.

"ah--"

The voice became slightly louder, and the tears became denser.

…

Uehara Himetsu never knew her voice could be so loud.

Tears surged like a river bursting its banks, and cries echoed over the rooftop.

The girl grabbed Izumi Toru's clothes with all her strength, hid in his arms and cried desperately. She kept crying.

Since her mother sent her to another home, she could only hide in the corner and cry secretly.

This was the case when I accidentally overheard the disgusting words my father deliberately said loudly.

This is what happens when a new mother looks at her like she's trash and scolds her.

This is what happens when you are yelled at by your sister, and when you feel wronged, you find a reason to hit yourself.

always……

This is the only embrace that is willing to accept you, the only place where you can cry loudly.

So, just cry.

Just once.

Just this once...

Except for her biological mother who was sitting in a wheelchair and stared at her with an angry expression and slapped her hard, Uehara Jiyue had forgotten the remaining irrelevant people.

Those people are not important at all.

Izumi Toru held her and listened to her crying gradually becoming hoarse, until she almost lost her voice.

She raised her head, sniffed hard, and the remaining crystal tears in the corners of her eyes swayed twice before falling slowly.

Snap!

The last teardrops shattered and splashed beautiful traces on the ground.

"Stop crying?" Izumi Toru asked.

The girl nodded vigorously.

Then, she tilted her head and smiled at Izumi Toru.

"Meow!"

The pear blossoms are raining, and I feel pity for them.

Seeing her like this, Izumi Toru stretched out his hand and scratched her nose.

"You look so cute when you smile. I will smile more in the future."

"oh……"

Uehara Jiyue bit her lower lip shyly.

Maybe, I am a bit cute after all?

After wearing the hairpin, other people look at me differently...

She thought uncertainly.

Suddenly, her stomach growled.

Hearing this voice, Izumi Toru was stunned for a moment.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

The girl nodded.

Izumi Toru immediately guessed the reason why she didn't eat.

Because I was so sad after losing my home, I was probably not in the mood to eat.

Thinking of this, he rubbed her hair.

"Is there anything you want to eat? I'm treating you today. You can eat whatever you want. Don't be polite to me."

Uehara Jiyue raised her head, and when she saw the smile as warm as the sun on his face, she felt no longer hungry at all.

but……

Is anything possible?

A strong impulse made her throat twitch.

Gudong!

The girl swallowed hard.

She lowered her head and asked uneasily: "Is it okay to eat whatever you want?"

Izumi Toru noticed the girl's swallowing movement, and seeing how shy she was, he thought to himself: Does she want to have a big meal?

That's right too.

If Narumi said this to me, I would definitely choose a big meal too!

So, he nodded.

"Well, anything is fine!"

Immediately afterwards, he saw the girl raise her red face and stare at his...

Izumi Tetsu suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

He asked dumbfounded: "Are you an idiot?"

The girl who was scolded shrank her neck.

However, she still bravely retorted: "Yes, you asked me to say it..."

Although her voice was weak, Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but be surprised.

Have you learned to talk back?

not bad.

I would also like……

"If you insist, of course I have no objection. It's better to say, you get what you want."

Himehara Uehara glanced at Izumi Tooru nervously.

Then, she approached him, tremblingly reached out her hand, and unbuttoned Izumi Tetsu's shirt.

"What are you doing?"

"Because, because it is wet with tears...so, I will help you clean it up..."

Izumi Tetsu sat on the chair and closed his eyes.

The warm and moist feeling spread little by little, finally making him completely free.

The girl who surrendered her whole body to him was pious and passionate at the moment.

He got the most well-behaved and adorable cat in the world.

A slight dizziness lingered in his brain, while his soul wandered deeper into the hot springs.

All the jagged stones were hidden by the girl. She just wanted him to feel her dependence.

…

Uehara Jiyue raised her head obediently, her eyes full of expectation.

Izumi Toru didn't keep her waiting too long.

…

Gudong!

Gudong!

But the girl still didn't get up.
