The weather has cleared up, although there are still many clouds floating in the sky, but they are not dark clouds. On the contrary, under the light of the orange-red sunset that is gradually sinking in the west, those clouds that have been dyed into dreamy red and purple make the sky dark. It is even more fascinating.
In a sparsely populated park, two figures were walking side by side, and one of them was holding a rather cute cat doll in her arms.
Katsu quietly glanced at Kurumi next to him, the pretty face that perfectly coexists with cuteness and beauty was filled with a sincere smile, just like an ordinary human girl got a favorite toy.
Under the leadership of Kurumi, Katsu came to an apartment. Kurumi said that this was her stronghold. The room was clean and simple, except for some necessities. , there is no TV and sofa in the living room... It can be said that it is a real "simple residence".
Of course, they are not jumping into anything right now she just wants to introduce him to her place so he can visit anytime he wants and after a while, they separated as he still has to take care of Tohka.
Looking at the shadow finally leaving she sighs and turn to a small drawer opening it inside is another cute cat doll identical to the ones she is holding.
...
"I'm home," Katsu said with some kinako bread he bought with him since he know that Tohka liked this a lot.
"I thought you forget about me and find someone to replace me," Tohka spoke tackling him down at the same time saliva at the smell of the bread.
"She really misses you Tohka asked me all the time where are you right now," Mana expressed her helplessness she can only stay with Tohka and find her some games so Tohka won't complain all the time.
"I may have more people to take care of in the future but you are unique on your own how can I replace you so don't worry" it is undeniable that he will definitely have more girls since this is his mission but that doesn't mean he will forget their feeling for him after he is done with his mission. Luckily Tohka is more accepting of this thanks to Mana's earlier appearance so he doesn't have to worry too much about her jealousy but he still has to coax her from time to time.
Kotori and Shidou even visited him to check on him after his date with "Nightmare" not surprising they know this because there is a giant ship in the sky watching.
In the end, the two stay to have dinner with him while getting to know Mana and Tohka.
....
Kurumi once again had a nightmare, still, the familiar dream, just when Kurumi in the dream was ready to accept that desperate moment, a sudden light shone into her blood-stained end of the red world, Kurumi walked into that light, she felt so warm and comfortable...
After a long absence, Kurumi was not awakened by a nightmare today, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and then smelled a scent that made her index finger move, and moved her lovely nose. Kurumi confirmed, that this intoxicating smell came from outside the room...
When Kurumi walked out of the room in her pajamas, she saw Katsu who was cooking in the kitchen. The sunlight outside the window was shining on him. Glowing, that warm feeling, like... that light in a dream.
"You're awake. Seeing how your kitchen has not been used for a long time I made some breakfast" Katsu heard the movement, turned his head, and greeted Kurumi, who was staring at him in a daze.
After returning to his senses, Kurumi paused for a moment, then adjusted her expression, showing that familiar smile, "Good morning Katsu"
When Kurumi finished washing up and looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, she was in a good mood.
Imperceptibly, Kurumi showed a warm smile that would never appear on her face before, and then her expression restrained, looking at Katsu with an elegant smile, "Mr. Katsu's cooking skills seem to be very good."
"Do you like it?"
She replied quite politely, "Yes, I like it very much, Katsu."
"Then I'll do it for you every day from now on."
"Ara, Ara, Mr. Katsu what are you doing? Are you making a confession?" Kurumi tease him looking at his red face couldn't help but laugh.
He was desperately thinking trying to explain the words, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter, he raised his head and saw that Kurumi was covering his mouth, unable to stop laughing, and after a while, she could barely hold back her laughter, "Katsu, you are really cute."
