"In you, what does my mother have nowadays? For if I appeared in that space when I talked with my father... a purpose and motive it has doesn't it?"
Itoshi asks Yuriko as he places his hand on her thigh.
Yuriko sighs and she answers the real reason of why this is all happening.
"Currently, your mother is in the hospital as she is being treated and looked at because she is
facing breast cancer."
Answers Yuriko to Itoshi and he is in shock.
"How is it?! And how is her current condition Yuriko?! Tell me please! I need to know!"
Exclaims Itoshi as he grabs Yuriko's shoulders begging for more answers.
At this, Yuriko understood the pain of how much a human being feels when they are about to lose a relative.
Her family had never been so united in these matters, it was all a matter of work and everything more... but still she loved her parents when she was still in her homeland.
"She is having a significant improvement, but we don't know how long she will stay this way way... the tumor is in its malignant state, with high chances of her..."
Answers Yuriko, and she takes Itoshi's hands off her shoulders to try to pull herself together from the response.
"From her what Yuriko?"
Itoshi asks Yuriko and he begins to look intently into her eyes.
"With high chances of her losing her life, but I'm sure in god's hands... she survives."
Replies Yuriko looking at the sky and getting thoughtful about it.
At this, Itoshi is speechless and he begins to cry a little.
Yuriko takes no chances, she pulls Itoshi's head down and lets him lie on her thighs.
And she begins to caress his head... and he is surprised at nothing at that.
"Yuriko? You're not like this..."
Itoshi says looking down at her face, and she continues to stare straight ahead.
She keeps quiet and starts to stroke his head.
"I'm thinking what I can do about this Itoshi, Just please, keep calm... and have faith in your heart.
Yuriko replies to Itoshi and he starts to become calm at her words.
"I really hope she gets better, have faith for me Yuriko?"
Itoshi asks Yuriko and she stands with her eyes closed trying to hold back the tears.
She at the moment stops with the caressing of his head and he stands up from her thighs.
"Yuriko? Is everything okay?"
Itoshi asks and he smooths his hand over her face, and at that he triggers her sadness and a tear from her face without her wanting it.
"Hey Yuriko, you don't have to hold your sadness... don't feel ashamed of it okay? Let's have faith together ok? I trust that everything will work out this whole situation of hers."
Said Itoshi to Yuriko with a smile on his face and Yuriko is confused by that.
At this, Yuriko starts to cry a lot and she hugs Itoshi tightly.
"I'm sorry Itoshi for not telling you since that day at school, I just wanted you to have the strong mind to face Kuri and to be able to level up easily... one day I was going to tell you that, I swear to you for everything."
Said Yuriko crying on Itoshi's shoulder and not being able to say many things to him.
But Itoshi hugs her lightly and starts to smile hugging her.
"Don't hold back in front of me ever Yuriko, cry all you always want.... I will always be here to understand you."
Itoshi says and she stops hugging him.
And she starts looking at Itoshi with many tears on her face.
"I love you, Yuriko."
Said Itoshi and he pulls her head a little and kisses her forehead.
At this, Yuriko continues to cry and blushes.
There we realize that Yuriko and Itoshi yes, even with their relationship of hate, contracts, and sex the two also had kind hearts and in the most difficult moments, the two would help each other in would help each other in any way they could.
It is there that Yuriko realized that it was all worth it to become Itoshi's Ginta Receptacle, he was special in some way to her, and it would never cut the bonds she built when she first got together with Itoshi.
> Yuriko's memories with Itoshi
"Po, are you trying to kick me man? Kicking a being from another world who is trying to help you who's trying to help you get better in life?''
Said Yuriko with a totally normal and serious expression looking at Itoshi without feeling any pain any pain.
What do you mean you don't feel any pain? That's not from God! Stay there weakling just to amuse me a little fun since you've been doing this to me!
Exclaims Itoshi to Yuriko but Yuriko slaps Itoshi in the face and he slams over the
wall near the kitchen refrigerator.
''Gwaaaaaaaa!''
Shouts Itoshi and he falls hard to the floor, staying down right there as he licks the floor.
In the background, Yuriko stands laughing at Itoshi like a fool on the floor.
> Yuriko's second memory with Itoshi
"Well, that's a little more complicated. In general, I rely on people's good faith and my ability to assess situations and solve any problems that might arise. But, of course, there is always the risk that someone will not fulfill the contract, and in such cases, one has to take ''Legal'' measures if you understand Itoshi."
Answers Yuriko as she walks and spots the house next door.
"You are really amazing, Yuriko. I hope we can have more of these moments."
Affirms Itoshi crossing the street arriving with her at her home.
"Thank you, Itoshi. It's great to have someone who values my work."
Yuriko smiles, grateful.
"Anytime, Yuriko-senpai."
Itoshi said smiling with Yuriko.
> In the present
"Hey guys, the morning is coming up really nice! How about we get ready to have some fun in a little volleyball? Since Yuriko is from another world, she can learn one of our customs as the craziest sport on the beach."
Said Aimi to the two, dressed in a bikini.
"Come on! It will be a lot of fun!"
Shouts Itoshi and Yuriko and they rush into the house.
Aimi stands laughing with Elisa.
