"Didn't I just say that? My brother is the one who loves me. And I will give trust and more love to people who can love me. The grandma that my brother just mentioned, I think, if we change our identities,

In the past, I would have been like that grandma, choosing to always keep the place of another person in my heart... no matter what happened to the other person, whether he was injured, poor, or unloved...

You can come and find me. A cup of hot milk, a shout of support, a hug... whatever you want, you can give it to him."

As Amami Nanamigetsu spoke, Sakakibara noticed that she was gently stroking her hair.

"Of course, I only give this kind of thing to you."

Gentle words...gentle actions...

Clinging tightly to her warm and soft thigh, it was like swimming into a lullaby.

In addition to comfort, the only word left is peace of mind...

This is probably the feeling of being coaxed by the other person when you are acting coquettishly.

This feeling reminded him of when he was very young in his previous life, when he cried loudly on the street because of his mother's temporary departure.

I was still young at that time, and my mother was always the only figure in my life and memory.

He didn't quite remember whether his mother was kind to him at the beginning. He only knew that her mother would still take care of him and give him food. When his mother disappeared, he would cry loudly, hoping that her mother would come back and find him.

I don’t know how many years have you experienced this emotion of crying loudly because your mother left?

...Now this feeling is naturally gone.

This is probably because I no longer have the sense of security that I had when I was young, relying on others, right?

In the past, my mother often neglected me because of the unhappiness in her marriage due to the discovery of her blood relationship.

Sakakihara Raku was already disheartened.

Now, I can find similar warmth and peace of mind in July.

I think she loves me so much.

I think she's really nice.

He also couldn't bear to let her leave his side.

His hands subconsciously hugged the girl's waist and buried his face in her belly.

After Tianhai Qimingyue saw him like this, she gently stroked his head and said, "He is really a little kid."

"July..."

"Um?"

"Suddenly I feel so reluctant to leave you."

"What's wrong? Aren't I right next to you?"

Sakakibara didn't speak, but hugged her tighter, trying his best to feel the fragrance of her body, her warm body temperature...

After seeing his appearance, Tianhai Qimingyue became gentler and said:

"Getting ready for the New Year."

"Um..."
