The night was deep.
Haruka Yuzan lay in bed, holding Miss Oto in his arms.
He wasn't sleepy and aimlessly flipped through the System, hoping to find a special dicine to cure Miss Oto.

Looking at Miss Oto's wish list, Haruka Yuzan felt a headache coming on.
Humans are creatures made of desires.
From a microscopic perspective, even if you wish to lie down for a lifeti, that's still a desire.
With desire cos wish.
How desperate must a person be to have no wishes at all?
Haruka Yuzan didn't dare think deeply.
He could only do his best to protect and take care of Miss Oto.
"Sigh."
Haruka Yuzan sighed, holding Yuko's arm tighter.
Miss Oto was not sleeping soundly. It seed that as soon as she noticed his movent, she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing that he had awakened her, Haruka Yuzan quickly apologized:
"Yuko, sorry, go back to sleep."
Oto Mizuko didn't speak, just rubbed against his chest like a gentle little cat, relishing the embrace of its owner.
Usually pampered and arrogant, Miss Onodera suddenly becoming docile and humble one day, this contrast made Haruka Yuzan exclaim inwardly.
She was just too cute.
"Yuko."
Haruka Yuzan caressed her little face, unable to resist leaning down to kiss her.
Miss Oto didn't respond; her past fervor and passion seed like yesterday's dream, and Oto Mizuko opened her mouth, her gaze lifeless and empty.
A kiss that was brief and tentative.
"Good girl, go back to sleep."
Haruka Yuzan ruffled her small head.
"Mm."
Oto Mizuko humd softly.
She found a comfortable position in his arms and fell back asleep.
Haruka Yuzan gently stroked her smooth back; the two of them remained silent, neither speaking a word.
In fact, Haruka could not sleep at all. Even though plans and preparations were made, when the mont ca, his mind inevitably wandered.
In another room, in the bedroom.
Rika Onodera yawned next to her mother: "Mom, are we going out tomorrow?"
"Yes."
Reiko Onodera reached out, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear: "I've already asked Teacher Miko for leave for you, Rika. We will play abroad for a few days."
"But I just started school..."
"If you don't want to go, Rika, I can tell Brother Chunri."
Reiko Onodera also felt hesitant, maintaining a facade of calm that afternoon, not wanting Haruka to worry or burden him further.
Rika Onodera opened her eyes, looking at her mother: "But everyone wants to travel. I don't want everyone to feel unhappy."
"Well, it's okay, actually taking a break is good too."
"Yeah, I like playing with my brother and sister too."
Mother and daughter continued talking.
Reiko Onodera looked at her daughter, guilt evident in her eyes.
"Rika, isn't mom being selfish?"
"No, mom is the greatest person in the world."
Rika Onodera placed her small hands on her mother's face, her fair, adorable face adorned with an innocent smile.
"Mom, what's wrong? I feel like you're not in a good mood today."
"It's nothing, I'm fine."
"Today, Teacher Miko said, regardless of the situation, we should face it bravely, mom." Little Bean's voice was gentle, yet Reiko Onodera felt an unprecedented strength.
Yes, as long as Haruka doesn't explicitly say to leave, she'll stay by his side to take care of him.
She never sought a title or to stand in the lilight; as long as she could stay by Haruka's side, that was enough...
....
The next morning, everyone got up early. Reiko Onodera was preparing breakfast, while Haruka Yuzan ca downstairs yawning with Oto Mizuko.
"Good morning, Haruka."
"Good morning."
"Yuko, good morning."
"Hoshina...."
Haruka Yuzan habitually sat on the sofa, ready to sip so morning tea.
Just then, Rika Onodera ran over: "Oni! Are we flying to France today?"
"Yeah, we're going out to play."
Haruka Yuzan took a sip of tea, smiling as he spoke.
"Rika, do you want to play on the beach?"
"I do～"
"Great, Sister Misaki hasn't woken up yet. Can you go wake her up?"
"Okay!"
Rika Onodera bounced towards the second floor, followed by Mariko Akiyama: "Rika, slow down, don't fall."
The little girl was full of energy, seemingly having endless vitality every day.
Not long after, the languid Misaki Saki ca down the stairs, and compared to the little sun beside her, the gloom around her seed almost palpable.
"Rika, why did you wake up so early?"
She yawned, not even opening her eyes.
"It's not early at all, Sister Misaki." Rika Onodera's voice was sweet: "Breakfast is ready, and we're leaving after eating."
"Ha～"
"A new version of Monster Hunter was released. I played until five in the morning, and haven't even slept for two hours yet...." Misaki Saki's footsteps were wobbly, and she seed devoid of any spirit, looking like she could collapse with a breeze.
Rika Onodera, seeing this, anxiously supported her: "Sister Misaki, don't scare ."
The two little ones made their way to the living room, where Misaki Saki directly fell onto the sofa, back asleep. Her small white legs hung limply over the side, exposing her cute, pink cartoon bear pajamas to the air.
The level of indecency, even with mosaics, could make it to a three-star rating.
Haruka Yuzan was speechless, but the female little devil just didn't care about her image at all.
In her words, if she couldn't pursue freedom at ho, she might as well let Haruka bury her little head under the cherry blossom tree outside the yard.
After all, she wouldn't have an outburst anyway.
Certainly, the female little devil's 'freedom' ant:
One, not wearing.
Two, showing off casually.
Three, only looking but not using.
Haruka Yuzan didn't bother with her.
It wasn't until breakfast that the dispirited Misaki Saki finally woke up.
"Ha～"
A yawn lasting through breakfast.
They had booked tickets for a flight a little after nine in the morning; since it was their first ti going far away, a subtle anticipation was evident on everyone's face.
The entrance of the villa buzzed with activity, while Haruka Yuzan helped the others load their luggage onto the car.
The group was finally ready to depart.
Haruka Yuzan didn't ntion anything about the coffee shop, trusting Shimizu and Sister Reiko to handle everything well.
Moreover, after half a year of accumulation, he wasn't lacking money now.
