NOVPUBIn a secluded corner of the school building.
Eriri firmly gripped Yukima Azuma's wrist.
After a moment of daze, Yukima Azuma's gaze fell on Eriri's exposed earlobes peeking out from her hair.
They were flushed red.
For some reason, Yukima Azuma felt a sense of relief.
This was still the Eriri he knew—nothing had changed.
Only today, she must have summoned unimaginable courage to do something that even surprised him.
Thinking this, Yukima Azuma gently reached out and stroked Eriri's golden hair.
He felt the softness atop her head.
Eriri, who had prepared a mountain of things to say, suddenly forgot everything.
For a moment, her mind went completely blank.
'Say something! Say anything, Eriri!'
Her heart urged her.
Unlike the hesitation from before,
This time, Eriri followed the call of her heart.
She threw herself into Yukima Azuma's arms.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I… I was so stubborn before! I'm sorry!"
Halfway through, her voice choked up.
Yukima Azuma could clearly feel the uniform on his chest becoming wet.
Feeling Eriri's resolve as she tried to overcome her own obstinate nature, 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Yukima Azuma wrapped her slender frame tightly in his arms.
She cried for a long while.
Her tears left a large damp patch on Yukima Azuma's uniform.
When Eriri finally stopped sobbing, she looked up at him.
"Azuma, can you forgive me?"
Her entire heart felt as though it were suspended mid-air,
As if awaiting judgment.
Eriri was terrified that Yukima Azuma would say something cold and hurtful.
Eriri was completely shocked.
Adopting a cat together or whatever...
How much had she missed after going home yesterday?!
Eriri suspected she hadn't just skipped a day of school but an entire semester.
These two were progressing at a pace she could hardly believe!
"Do you want to see it?"
Since Eriri was still standing there in a daze, Yukima Azuma asked again, having already taken out his phone.
Eriri really wanted to firmly refuse.
But curiosity still pushed her to take Yukima Azuma's phone.
Shiratamaru's tiny, pearl-white figure was shown, stretching its tiny paws out from a cat shelf.
Its mismatched eyes—one green, one gold—shimmered like twinkling lights.
Eriri felt like her heart had just been struck by Cupid's arrow.
Too cute!
Eriri, the cat lover, almost broke into tears.
Why did she skip school yesterday?!
"Eriri, if you like, you can come over to my house to play with Shiratamaru sometime."
Yukima Azuma said.
"Really?"
"Of course, Megumi-san also agrees, right?"
Yukima Azuma glanced at Kato Megumi.
"Mm, Shiratamaru will surely like you too, Sawamura-san."
Kato Megumi was never the type to make things difficult for others.
"That's amazing! I'll definitely come. Azuma, you're such a good person!"
"Remember, it's Megumi-san."
"Mm, Kato-san, let's be good friends!"
In the midst of Eriri's tearful excitement, she also sensed something off.
But she was certain that agreeing to go cuddle a cat was the right thing to do, and Kato-san was definitely a good person!
