Aster laughed, although Kana was doing her best to hide her expression by only letting half of her face outside of the water, her bittersweet gaze completely gave her away.
He then walked towards the lake and washed his body at the edge, he put on his shorts before entering into the water and swam towards Kana.
Kana silently did the same, then when she was about one meter away from him, she doubted for a moment before saying in a low voice.
"Big brother can you… hug me?".
Seeing Kana's teary eyes Aster smiled, given the current water level where they were he could sit and still have everything above his shoulders outside of the water.
Aster patted her head, but surprisingly and for the first time since they met, Kana didn't let the head pats she loved so much to convince her.
Instead of that she looked at him with needy eyes.
